Dabi is such an interesting character to me. I find it so fascinating how he says that he does not care about some things, how he could not give a single crap about anything that's going on. With his easygoing attitude and flat tone, no one could blame you for thinking that way.

It was one of the many reasons why you wanted to break up with him.

Falling for Dabi to begin with was beyond unexpected. The man positively reeked of trouble. The second he stepped foot in your favorite coffee shop, you know that the only thing that guy could bring was chaos. The way he carried himself was a dead giveaway, even if most of his face was covered. You had no idea that he was a wanted criminal at the time and perhaps that was one of the reasons why you approached him to begin with.

Besides, life was just dull. Nothing was going on in your life, no sparks, no excitement. Every single day started to feel like the same shade of grey, the old colours of the world morphing into something so forgettable that it made you want to pull out your hair. So what if talking to this guy was a possible mistake?

It was better than nothing, you told yourself.

You can still recall his strong smell - smoke with a hint of some cheap cologne, perhaps a vain attempt to cover up that third metallic smell which couldn't be hidden no matter how hard he tried. Beneath that dark hoodie of his you could see his lips twitching and just as he was going to tell you off for bothering him, you introduced yourself.

The rest was, as they say, history.

Dabi was a bit of a weirdo but you didn't mind. You enjoyed his quirks and even liked to compliment his appearance from time to time, which made the villain wonder just how sick in the head you really were.

He never made any moves to shoo you away though.

And that stone cold fact was something which the League would often make fun of him for it. Dabi would usually end their jabs and jeers with an annoyed scoff and just leave the bar, hands in his pockets but no one was buying it.

Dabi wasn't sure if he wanted you near those clowns. The thought of someone else oogling you, in the same manner as he did, set him off. Dabi started to make the effort of seeing you more, whether or not you knew he was actually there was up for debate. He stuck to the shadows, tailing you day and night and he would reveal himself only if he saw fit.

Dabi wasn't sure why he was doing this, wasting his time with some weak little civilian.

When the day had ended and the sun was setting, Dabi would lazily walk back home. His mind would be rushing with thoughts of you, his knuckles in a tight grip as he kept them hidden in his deep pockets.

He could kill you whenever and however he damn well pleased.

Dabi had the terrifying ability to snuff the life out of you, and that thought gave him a rush of adrenaline, dare he say confidence.

Your life really was in his hands.

You often felt the need to explain away Dabi's red flags - he's just tired, that's why he's so cranky! Oh, he got mad that you went out with someone else? Well, um... There are so many bad guys out there, it makes sense that he would be worried. Because that is what a good boyfriend did - worry about his precious baby.

Dabi was smart (even a little kind) enough to keep his burn scars hidden away from you but the ones on his face were impossible to conceal. The villain would often find himself enchanted by your gentle touch as you'd trace your delicate fingers across the rough flesh, a stark contrast to the sheer softness you radiated.

He was often torn between two options - does he keep that softness safe or will he sink his fangs deep in your neck, claim you all for himself?

Day after day, the second opinion started to sound so much more appealing.

Dabi's love was all over the place. There would be times when you would hardly ever see him. No calls, no texts, no nothing. For all you knew he could have been dying in a ditch somewhere and you'd be none the wiser. You tried countless times to open up to you about his job but he would just shut you down in record speed. He would never get annoyed or angry with these questions but that did not ease your worries.

And with the prying eyes of friends and relatives, it got even harder to keep yourself so delusionally in love.

None approved of your relationship with Dabi. You shed countless tears due to their harsh protests, which often meant that you would run away straight into the arms of the main issue. Dabi would hold you in your bed, his arms wrapped tightly around you. His shirt would be covered in your tears and snot. Perhaps he would grumble about it later but not at the moment.

He was not a good person, but he did not want to be a complete monster towards you.

After these incidents, almost everyone who was ever close with you would start dropping like flies. All died violent, brutal deaths with the main cause usually being severe burns inflicted on the victims of various parts of their bodies. Sometimes the scarring was so deep that even days later the corpse would radiate heat, the disgusting smell or rot forever sticking to your nostrils.

To describe the experience of being forced to identify those bodies as "traumatic" would have been the understatement of the century.

The walk back home was excruciating, perhaps even a little otherworldly. There was no left in the world who cared for you anymore, no one you could run to for safety and comfort.

The only one who you had left was Dabi.

Maybe, it wasn't so bad, being with him that is. Yeah, he could be a little mean sometimes but he would always make it up to you. Dabi would call you his doll and pepper your face with gentle kisses, which often made you giggle. Sure, not knowing what Dabi was doing at the dead of night made you worry so much that you would sob until the cracks of daylight but that was okay because he would always cross the threshold of your home in one piece.

You only had Dabi to worry about, and that was... Odd to manage.

Gone were the walks with friends, meals with family. There was no living soul on this Earth which cared about you, wanted to see you happy and thrive.

Dabi was the only person left in your life.

And that was when the horrible realization hit like a bucket of ice cold water.

Dabi was the only person you had left.

Every single complaint, he had memorized them, each and every one. You knew that this was the case as he would sometimes bring up the most random things you had said months after you said them to begin with, proving the fact that he actually was paying attention.

The door opens with a powerful slam which startles the man. He asks you what's the problem but all hell breaks loose.

You scream, shout, cry. You accuse him of every possible crime he could have committed and he says nothing. Dabi sits on the sofa, his legs crossed as his cheek rests on the palm of his hand. You go on and on and Dabi doesn't bother to stop you.

Not until he lets out a deep chuckle.

Took ya long enough, he said to you. The tips of his fingers ignited with blue flames, a silent threat to keep you from screaming. You couldn't even bolt towards the door and there were no other escape routes.

He finally had you where he wanted you.

Dabi wasn't stupid. He knew that you planned on dumping him for a while now. He could not allow that, not now. Not when you had forced your way deep into his heart and made a home there. Dabi had nothing in this world and he made sure that you had nothing either.

Now, you had each other. And to him, that was more than enough.

Alan Becker Theory: How Victim Returned

Ok so this is my first real Tumblr post, but basically I want to talk about the Animator vs. Animation series and its first and now most recent villain: Victim. More specifically, how he "returned" after seemingly being killed by the Animator at the end of his first appearance.

When we first saw Victim in AVA 1, he was deleted by the Animator. He closed the program without saving changes, without saving Victim onto anything, thus removing him from existence. Something like that seems pretty hard to come back from...

...but, 17 years later, he has come back without any scratch (besides turning gray).

Now, it's not the first time a character survived being deleted, but none of the previous examples are similar to Victim.

Orange survived being deleted by Task Manager and then stabbed by the Dark Lord's Vira-Blades, but he's clearly special in a way: from knowing a lot since creation to having superpowers that not even he knows of (until he saw a video of him killing a guy with them). He's far from a normal stick figure.

The Chosen One survived being hit by several code-erasing blades, but he's a superpowered being compared to the completely normal Victim.

Herobrine survived being deleted with the rest of Minecraft, somehow resurrecting several years later, but he's not even a stick figure, and another superpowered being that's arguably even weirder then Chosen.

So, how does the completely normal, powerless Victim survive being deleted with no superpowers or anything special about him?

It's simple. He didn't.

I'm not saying that Grey Dude is actually a burnt Dark or something, that was debunked and never made sense anyway. What I'm suggesting is that the AVA 6 Victim is not the Victim. Rather, he's a copy.

... well, a better word to use is recording.

Animation VS YouTube was always a weird entry, in my opinion. It somehow makes every entry in the series an actual video in-universe, it somewhat breaks continuity by having the Minecraft icon on the task bar, and it just gets weirder every time it returns (such as that one scene in Showdown). But, I think AVA 6 made it really important in hindsight.

While fighting YouTube, Green and Orange encounter a recording of the first AVA 1 and witness Victim's birth. In the climax, Green defeats YouTube by putting himself inside a video and destroying it from the inside, thus destroying the website's sentient avatar.

I think Victim came back in a similar way. Thanks to the Animator posting AVA 1 on numerous websites and it being reposted countless times, there are countless videos of Victim: thus, countless opportunities for a Victim recording to escape a similar way Green did. The AVA 6 Victim - let's call him Vic - is one of those: a recording that came to life and broke out. He's not the true Victim, just evidence that he once existed, but he has his memories and will continue his fight with the Animator.

But, there's an issue: Green entered a brand new video, he didn't record himself. A clear difference. Which is why I think Vic didn't escape his video by himself. Someone freed him. But, who?

Well, think about it. Who is Vic close to? Who is special and gets attention from IRL Alan, compared to the others? Who has the most important role in AVA 6, aside from the hollow-heads and RYGB?

Who does Vic trust so much, he puts his own life in their hands when entering the Box?

I think the Glasses Guy - let's call him Agent cause that's the best nickname I've seen - is the one who freed Vic. It would explain why Vic would trust him so much or why he'd get so much attention besides just "the villain's right hand who is badass".

I also think that Vic's trust in Agent is what will fuck him over in the end. That he will not be the final villain of AVA 6.

If you watch The Box closely, you'll see Vic is saved on the Box's files. Nothing special or surprising, right? I mean, he's in the Box, of course he'd be saved as part of it. But... Chosen is not.

In fact, none of the items on the list are inside the Box, aside from Vic. Not the sword, not the chains, not anything. But, they can still be summoned. Which means that the Box doesn't work like "You go inside it, you are part of its files": You need to be saved onto it, and once that happens, you can be summoned whenever one wants, even when you're not inside the Box. What does that mean?

That, at any point in time, Agent can clone Vic hundreds of times, as many as he needs. That Vic is replaceable.

I think that's the big twist of AVA 6: Vic will be killed by Agent sooner than anyone would think, allowing Agent to become the true villain and create a Vic Army. What is Agent's motive? Why did he bring back Vic, only to plan to kill him when he's no longer needed? Frankly, I have no idea. We don't know enough about him to speculate his motives. But, I know one thing:

Vic cannot escape who he is. That, behind the different color and the fancy company and the fact he's but a copy of the real deal, he is still Victim. And who is Victim?

A stick figure who was mistreated, killed and forgotten by a man with animation tools.

The Lighthouse (Batfam: Dick)

"Even in our darkest hours, the Bat-Signal is there. Acting as a lighthouse to guide us home."

Dick wasn't really sure when Scarecrow had decided to step into Blüdhaven. All he knew was that one night everything was fine, and the next he was getting reports of people crazed on fear gas running through the city. Of course as Blüdhaven's hero, it was his job to deal with the villain, even though he really didn't want to. Scarecrow was one of Dick's least favorite villains to deal with, a sentiment shared by most if not all of his family. Jonathan might not have much physical strength, acrobatics, strong weapons, or any of the things most Gotham and Blüdhaven villains have.. But he does have fear gas. Fear gas that seeps into your bones, warps your perception, shows you your greatest fears. It's exhausting to have to deal with, and Dick was already not exactly on stable ground with all of the nonsense happening in Gotham recently. In fact that was why he had returned to Blüdhaven in the first place, he was hoping to take it easy for a few weeks while still helping the people. Either way, now the job falls to him..

————

Nightwing stumbled out of the warehouse, head swimming with dizziness and pain. Gas spills out the doors and over the ground like a mist, making Blüdhaven's streets seem far more ominous then usual.

Damn it. He got away.

Dick thinks, gritting his teeth against the fog in his brain. He's trying to ignore it, he really is. He knows the visions aren't real, this isn't his first time on fear gas.. But that's the point, isn't it? It gets into your head, makes you see things that aren't there, makes you believe that it's real. It's not real, right? Or is it. What if it is? No, it couldn't be. These things would never happen in the real world. Bruce would never say this (Or would he?). It can't be (It is.). Dick makes a noise akin to a growl, clutching his head. The sense of confusion and panic that the gas brings on is something he'll never get used to, no matter how many times he's exposed to it. His head snaps up to the darkened sky, filled with black clouds. Not a star is visible through the fog, and the air smells of rain and storm and anger. It brings about a sense of hopelessness. Dick's body shudders. Is he bleeding? He can't tell. He doesn't remember getting hurt, but he could swear there's blood dripping from his nose. Is that a gash in his suit? God his head hurts. He hears a rumble like that of thunder, but whether or not it was real or in his head he can't distinguish. He eyes rise back to the skies, as the clouds part. Darkness, darkness, and more darkness.. But then-

A sign. A sign of hope. A sign of safety. A sign of.. Comfort. There, projected on a dark cloud, high within the skies, is the Bat-Signal. Glowing yellow, bat in the middle, shining brightly as if it were meant to be there. As if it were meant for him. Dick, despite his head swimming with confusion, fear, and hurt, knows that sign better then he knows himself. It means he'll be okay. It means this isn't real. (IT IS!) None of this is real. (NO!) He's.. Okay. He stumbles forward, still unsure of how bad his injuries are, but now with a mission. Scarecrow might have gotten away tonight, but Dick was stupid to try and take him on alone anyway. Fear gas is a scary thing, and he wasn't in the right headspace to deal with it. He needs.. To go home. To see Alfred, and Bruce. Jason, Tim, and Damian. Alfred the Cat, Batcow, Titus.. His family. He needs to get patched up, eat some of Alfred's cooking, talk to his brothers. He needs to be safe again.

And there he will be.

Could I request a mind fairy reader x Sky fic? Like she accidentally freaks out whether from a traumatic flashback or something else and she blasts everyone backwards with her telekinesis powers and Sky has to comfort her? Thank you :)

Pairing: Sky of Eraklyon x mind!fairy

--------------------------------

Staring at her shaky hands, Y/N's wide eyes can hardly comprehend what happened. One moment she was smiling, thinking about the dream she had of her longtime crush on Sky and in the next - she can't remember.

She can't remember what brought her to her knees, nor why every sound has dulled around her. Glancing ahead, she can see the frightened looks as a few classmates are helped to their feet. One of them is bleeding, or she thinks. She's not entirely sure as her erratic heartbeat draws her attention.

While she may not recall what's happened, she certainly can't forget the sense of imminent danger taking over her body like a tsunami wave, gripping her insides until she could hardly breathe. Her inhale had stalled inside her lungs, creating a heaviness in her chest that darkened her mind.

A hand on her shoulder causes her to flinch, turning her head to the person who had dared to near her.

Who would be so brave to come closer to an out of control fairy? Who would be so damn stupid to care for her?

"It's just me", she reads from a pair of lips that are achingly familiar.

Swallowing thickly, her eyes shift to dark blue horizons she tends to get lost in. It must be cloudy, she thinks. His eyes are always blue when there's no sunlight. The sunrays bring about a green hue, the kind one would find in early spring as nature awakens. And as such, it awakens her soul as well.

Sky.

It's always going to be Sky. He's the only constant in her life, the sole person who is responsible for her having any control at all.

"Breathe", his voice breaks through the mist - comforting, gentle and caring as is his touch.

With trembling lips, she nods as he sets the rhythm for her to follow - inhale, hold it one second, two seconds, exhale. Guided by Sky, her mind slowly clears and the world around her makes sense once again.

But so does her loss of control.

"I'm sorry", she whispers as her eyes fill with tears. The realization she had hurt people again is digging its claws into her skin, penetrating into her bloodstream to ensure there isn't a single cell in her body unaware of the danger she poses for other students.

Arms wrap around her so tightly almost instantly and despite her mind screaming to run, she can't help but melt into this embrace.

There's nothing comparable with Sky's hug - the pine scent clinging to his body from all his time spent on patrols mixing with the perfume she bought him for his birthday pulls on her heartstrings. She's meant to calm herself, not get frustrated by the fact he's not hers.

"You're doing great", he speaks so softly into her ear and she can feel his voice set her entire body aflame.

Parting, she draws away from him. She'll never be satisfied with pieces of him for she will burn for him until there is none of her left but ashes. She's anything but tame, he only aids the thrill of allowing chaos take over her.

"Let me help you", he outstretches his hand for her to take and she shakes her head lightly.

If she's always counting on him to come to her rescue when her powers are out of control, she will always be volatile.

She will become a villain and one day, he will not be there to comfort her. One day he might be the victim and it won't matter it was an accident. He will be gone and she will be ruined. Her own mother learned that lesson the hard way. It's why she's been afraid to use her powers for so long. No one truly understands the fear her abilities cause. No one can take the trauma of her mother's dying breath out of her memories.

"You can't help me", she furrows her brows as the inkling of a smile upon his lips fades. "I'll destroy you. I don't want that."

"You can't hurt me", he reassures her. "I trust you."

"THAT'S THE PROBLEM!" She stands abruptly, her body tense as she looks down on him. "You assume you're safe, but you're not. No one is. I shouldn't even be at this school!"

Shaking his head, Sky stands too. Grabbing her left wrist, he pulls her up to his chest. Wrapping his free arm around her, he watches her eyes turn purple and he knows she is trying to influence him to let go, to force his hand without a word used but he won't let her.

Mind fairies can't control a strong-willed mind and when she's involved, Sky's mind is iron-made.

"You belong here", he states clearly, "do you hear me?!" Licking his lips, he releases her wrist only to cup her face. His eyes soften as he speaks, "You belong with me." Lips parted, his eyes flicker to the tight line hers are pressed in. "Never doubt that."

"Why do you care", she counters and he grins, unable to pretend.

"Because you're my fairy. I'm sure of it. What am I supposed to do without you?"

"Live", she exclaims.

"What is life without a little danger", he winks before pecking the tip of her nose. Releasing her, he smirks. Turning around, he walks away, leaving her flustered.

"What just happened?"

Part 2

Misako is a good mother and i will die on this hill

I am stupidly passionate over little lego people, so I am compiling a list of reasons as to why Misako’s actions are understandable and to show that the logic some people use to call her a bad mother is maybe just a little silly. putting it under a read more though bc i am writing so goddamn much

Point number 1: leaving Lloyd at Darkley’s

Most points I see about this is people saying “well why didn’t she leave him with Wu” which there are MULTIPLE reasons for.

1. He had just banished Garmadon, yknow, Misako’s husband. While it was on accident, Misako likely would not feel comfortable leaving her son with Wu

2. Morro. Now, we don’t know when exactly Wu took Morro in, as we’re never given an exact timeframe, however I would put it somewhere between the FSM’s death and a little while before Garmadon’s banishment. Misako full well could have bore witness to what happened with Morro, or could’ve been told about it. Misako is thus very reasonable in not wanting to leave her infant son, the actual Green Ninja, with Wu, as for all she knew, the moment Wu figured it out he would start training Lloyd. She would not want Lloyd to miss out on his childhood while possibly also becoming a self-important prick with a massive ego (bc for how much I love Morro, I can admit that that’s what he became due to the whole Green Ninja thing).

3. If Wu DID realise Lloyd was the green ninja, and then start to train him, it’d mean Misako leaving Lloyd in the first place would have been for nothing. Misako was trying to prevent the prophecy, not speed it up.

And then it comes to Darkley’s itself, and the fact that there are multiple reasons leaving Lloyd there would have been a good option in Misako’s eyes

1. It is a school for future villains. It was likely the ONE PLACE Lloyd could go where he wouldn’t be ostracised by his peers like we see him being in the Ninjago movie, especially because we can guess that Garmadon had a reputation for being evil PRIOR to his banishment, as when the villagers of Jamanakai think Lloyd is saying he’s Lord Garmadon, they’re terrified of him, until they see him and realise he’s Lord Garmadon’s like, 10 year old son. Darkley’s was the one place being the son of Lord Garmadon would HELP HIM

2. She had no way of knowing Lloyd would get mistreated by other students. How was she supposed to anticipate Brad putting fire ants in Lloyd’s bed years before it happened? Also, she had no way of knowing the school itself would mistreat him. She likely wasn’t told he was kicked out/ran away from Darkley’s, or wasn’t given the time to come find/collect him, because she very much would have the common sense to know there’s no one else to look after him

3. For all she knew, Garmadon was the Dark Lord in the prophecy. She had no idea it actually meant the Overlord. She could’ve thought that if Lloyd looked up to his father and wanted to be on his side, and neither of them wanted to fight each other, it could help to stall the prophecy.

And then, we get to the fact that we don’t really see her make things up to Lloyd about the whole “abandoning him at an evil boarding school thing”, which is because Ninjago was originally only supposed to be 2 seasons long, and Misako only first appears SEVEN EPISODES IN to season 2. They had no time to give her any character development or show her bonding with Lloyd, because they only had 6 more episodes left after her first appearance.

Since then, it seems the writers have just chosen to imply she has family bonding time with Lloyd off screen. We can see that they now care for each other as a family, so it’s very likely that she DOES try to bond with Lloyd but the writers just didn’t want to/couldn’t find a way to fit it into the show itself.

She has made mistakes, yes, but she is trying to make up for them and none of the reasoning behind her mistakes was outright malicious. She wanted to protect her son as much as possible, and keep him from having to fight his own father.

[hollowtones]

i can't find the vods for the rest of your endwalker playthrough (if you even did stream the rest) so i was wondering, what were your opinions on 6.0? (also what were your reactions to That urianger scene)

I think I only did like one or two streams of it. It ran kinda bad when I streamed it, people didn't want to watch it, and I wasn't getting much out of streaming it compared to just playing it on my own time. That and I think I had a really severe depressive episode at the time (for unrelated reasons).

IDK if anyone's still trying to avoid spoilers but I'll throw it under a read-more.

It's been a while since I last played so my memory's kind of spotty. I liked it, though. It felt like a satisfying conclusion to what they've been getting at since 2.0 MSQ, and a nice little dialogue on despair and exhaustion and depression and hope, and finding ways to carry on and keep living and keep loving and keep trying. I feel like that's when the game's overall writing and theming tends to be at its strongest (yes I liked the Dark Knight questlines haha).

I remember having mixed feelings about how they pulled off the Garlemald segment & the "Alphinaud and Alisaie's shit head dad" plotline but I don't remember enough of the specifics to really elaborate on that.

Alisaie has lesbian college admirers and I thought that was funny.

I came out of 5.5 MSQ expecting White Woman Jumpscare Hydaelyn to be a little trite but I ended up really liking Venat. I felt kinda whatever about Emet-Selch coming back, but I didn't hate what they did with him I guess, and his earless-Viera boy toy was fun. Fandaniel felt like The Joker but he still felt like a fine first-act villain. The way they write him (& Meteion) in the later chunk of the game felt more interesting to me, & felt like a fun play on "Shadowbringers"-era Emet-Selch's whole "AMAUROT, BABY! GREATEST CITY IN DA WORLD, BABY! SLIMES ALL OVER DA STREET, BABY!" nostalgia. It was funny when he was The Joker, though.

Final area was thematically and visually really interesting. I'm excited we got more stuff related to Omega & I'm glad we got more "btw the dragons are aliens" stuff. I've seen a lot of people forget about that, for whatever reason. That one area right by the end that was completely desolate, with no people & no indication of who lived there, was a really good setpiece. The Namazu canonically suffer in all possible dimensions and all possible worlds and you cannot help but laugh out loud.

I kind of rolled my eyes at Zenos coming back. "By the way he's a Reaper now" felt like it amounted to nothing, but admittedly I never did the Reaper questline or the post-6.0 stuff. Getting to punch him in the face at the end was fun.

Music was good, I liked the way they played with different motifs & I really like how that comes to a head in the final boss fight.

I was expecting moon rabbits to be grating and insufferable but I liked them. I fucking love that none of this planet's moons are normal. Why are they both orbital prison-ships. I love it.

Zodiark's design owned and Hydaelyn's design was okay. Very Yoshitaka Amano design, which makes sense given how he did that one boxart for "A Realm Reborn" & she looks a lot like she does there, but I kinda wish she got to look more monstrous and weird. She kept talking up becoming a monster to do what she felt was right!!! I wish that had informed her design a little more.

Hamburgers exist & I do like that the animators got to livingly render G'raha Tia going to town on one like those weird clips of anime girls where it looks like they've never eaten in their lives.

I don't remember what you mean by "the Urianger scene". LOL

You didn't ask, but the crafting/gathering questlines were a lot of fun. I feel like they (& the guildleves) added some fun extra context to everything going on while I was going through the MSQ.

I liked it overall. I don't think it's the highest point of the game's writing, but I had a good time and felt very satisfied by the time it came to a close.

#Also the dog is really funny.

Loki is a narcissist

.........................................right.

You have to have five of the nine symptoms below to be considered a narcissist:

A grandiose logic of self-importance

A fixation with fantasies of infinite success, control, brilliance, beauty, or idyllic love

A credence that he or she is extraordinary and exceptional and can only be understood by, or should connect with, other extraordinary or important people or institutions

A desire for unwarranted admiration

A sense of entitlement

Interpersonally oppressive behavior

No form of empathy

Resentment of others or a conviction that others are resentful of him or her

A display of egotistical and conceited behaviors or attitudes

^ some of the wording has been changed below so it's easier to understand:

Why Loki does NOT fit every symptom:

A grandiose logic of self-importance

oh look at him lying about all of that. except for the part that he, was yknow, legally was the regent.

only argument for this is really the Avengers, and this line supports that ^, but Loki never showcases this level of self-importance before or after the Avengers, which is important because these patterns have to be consistent. Loki doesn't show this after the Avengers either - yes, there's the play in Ragnarok, but Loki was the prince of Asgard. There are probably 495004985094385 other plays about other royalty.

reminder this is how loki describes himself in Thor 1:

A fixation with fantasies of infinite success, control, brilliance, beauty, or idyllic love

In Thor 1, he is obessed with idyllic love from Odin, his family, and Asgard. In the Avengers he's obsessed with a throne. In the Dark World he doesn't care about it. In Ragnarok, all Loki wants is to stay alive, keep Thor alive, and keep Asgard safe. He's not fixated on a fantasy of a throne. Even in the Loki series, Loki is not fixated on a throne.

So kinda, but I'm leaning toward no.

Again, there is an argument for this in the Avengers with his fixation on "glorious purpose", but it's still not consistent.

A credence that he or she is extraordinary and exceptional and can only be understood by, or should connect with, other extraordinary or important people or institutions

people Loki actively spends time with, none of which are geniuses. Loki has never given the impression that he needs to spend time with only "extraordinary" people.

A desire for unwarranted admiration

Okay. Loki has the play in Thor 3, but he literally did almost die for Thor. And yes, it is probably unwarranted admiration/exaggeration, but again, not a consistent pattern. Plus it's a play. It's supposed to be entertaining and Loki intentionally wrote it to mock himself?

Thor 1: no

Avengers: no. He doesn't demand admiration for anything he does.

Thor 2: no

Thor 3: yes, sort of.

IW: No.

Loki series: no.

A sense of entitlement

again, argument for the Avengers Loki, yes--the whole point of his villain arc in A1 is that he feels entitled to a throne. But that is not consistent. Loki defends his actions in TDW by saying that he was "giving truth to the lie he was told his entire life", which ISN'T a "I deserved a throne!!!!!" and more so "identity crisis part #4325235235"

is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

Yeah. This one is a solid yeah. Reminder, 1/9 doesn't make a narcissist though.

Thor 1: lied to Thor to keep him on Earth so he could manage the Jotunheim disaster

Avengers 1: mind control

TDW: removed Odin from the throne

Thor 3: the Sakaar mess

Loki series: did attempt to manipulate Mobius several times to not die and Sylvie once to teach him how to enchant.

No form of empathy

Yeah, that's Loki. Empathy-free guy.

is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her*

*reminder that SIF not loki SIF is the one who says that Loki has "always been jealous of Thor"

actually Loki:

shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

^ Loki's explanation for why he tried to get Thor's coronation delayed

^ Loki's explanation about Avengers 1

like yes, Loki does show arrogant/haughty behaviors, but -- outside of the Avengers -- I don't really see that being the case for Loki long-term.

I think that someone could easily make the argument that Loki in the Avengers shows npd-like behaviors, but Loki as a whole in MCU isn't a narcissist. He's complicated, but not in an npd kind of way. And it would be fine if he did have npd, that doesn't inherently make him evil, but he just...so clearly doesn't have that.

i think one of the main reasons i can't shake the "possession is not how callum is going to be play into aaravos' hands" (or at least not solely, i.e. doing something vile or dangerous in the name of love that leads to a renewed possession) is because like...

listen, as much as it'd be kind of weird for a "Master Manipulator" like aaravos to reveal his final play two seasons in advance from a character standpoint, it absolutely make sense from a story standpoint. you couldn't just whip that out of nowhere in a plot relevant moment without having your audience feel cheated, so it had to be established earlier on. now instead of surprise, you get to cultivate a nice feeling of dread. (although i've said before that there were other ways to cultivate said feeling of dread / set up the possibility of possession, i.e. callum learning that its possible out of a book when he was canonically reading about dark magic, him having nightmares or premonitions that aaravos is tethered to him, etc. it didn't have to be so blatant so quickly.)

those are, however, neither of the points i want to get at today, because like - if it is JUST the possession, and there is no choice that leads to it directly before or after in regards to helping aaravos...

Then why the absolutely, continually ramped up Viren-Callum parallels?

Cause like, as of S5, absolutely none of this is Necessary. Callum doesn't necessarily have to exist as a contrast to Viren at this point, given that Viren himself has changed his mind and disavowed dark magic and Aaravos; Callum finally freeing himself from Aaravos (and dark magic?) will likely now have more parallels to Viren's arc, rather than the two being disparate. He'll be following in Viren's footsteps, but in a positive way.

None of this is required for the possession plot line, either. That got kick started all the way back in 2x07, like, seasons ago. If anything it'd be kinda more 'tragic' if Callum really had never touched or been tempted by dark magic again, but he couldn't (or wouldn't) take back his prior choices. A consequence of being controlled by forces well beyond your conceptualization and a price you had no choice but to pay, literally, if they're going the removal of agency arc (which has its own merits) / leaning into the eldritch horror aspect of it all.

Like if it's just possession... Callum does not have to be like or be compared to Viren, in either similarities or contrasts, like - at all. Viren and Callum are both characters who have a relationship with destiny (Viren tended to believe in pre-determined destiny, but Callum decidedly didn't as of S2; even if that still started to change in S4, that alone is not enough of a singular parallel to warrant all the rest) but they're not the only ones, nor is that exclusively related to Aaravos - even if their parallels between each other are constantly circling him, their families, and dark magic / justification(s).

Which makes me think there's two main avenues they could be taking this with:

1) S7 endgame is Callum walking Viren's path regarding the rise, but in a more literal, dramatic sense. Again, Callum proving that he's not like Viren doesn't really need to happen as much now that Viren is 1) no longer a villain and 2) will be a parallel for Callum's positive growth as well. So it's still about similarities, but positive ones: "No matter what you've done, no matter where you are on the path, every step forward is a choice" (cue Callum literally regaining agency) "I am free, and so are you." This is also the avenue where it being mostly just the possession > a choice that leads to Aaravos getting out (choice made before that leads to possession, or choice post-possession) would make more sense, but just the Rise doesn't account for the well, ominous foreboding of all this, lmao.

2) S6 and S7 are working together with S6 being Callum mirroring Viren's Fall (whatever you want that to constitute) / helping Aaravos regardless of the possession - taking an understood risk for love that leads to the possession, or post-possession due to another form of coercion/susceptibility - and S7 being the Rise. It gives the ominous foreboding of it all, particularly highlighted in S5 / 5x02-5x04 and 5x08 somewhere to go, while also providing Callum with a balanced negative and ultimately positive character arc. It ties in the possession then as a plot element / vehicle to explore their similarities and differences but keeps everything tied together with choices/agency (rather than solely removing it), which is what Viren and Callum have both reaffirmed ("No choice? You made the choice you always have" etc) in S5 in particular. It also explains why and how all these forces - the parallels, the patterns, both their individual arcs, and their connections to Aaravos, his plans, and the possession plot line could be brought to fruition, and why they've all been included.

#it was just red #arc 2 #tdp callum #in the name of love #wouldn't you want to tell it kinder if you could #tdp #the dragon prince #mini meta #analysis series #s6 speculation #s7 speculation #tag ramble #predictions #why did this get capitalization halfway through? your guess is as good as mine boyo #like imo (and i'm prepared to eat my words / whatever canon executes i think will be great/good) #but like. if it's not based on callum making Choices. if it's Just the possession plot line and nothing else he does that leads to #fucking disaster (power or freedom or both for aaravos) as a conscious choice or risk that didn't turn out #then there's no reason for viren's atonement arc or for callum to now be able to parallel him #both 'negatively' and 'positively' and the show's just. way too smart for that to be nothing tbh #like s7 will be rise regardless in some ways #but like. it just makes sense that s6 is the fall esp when you want characters to have a lowest point anyway

[knightotoc]

Who fumbled the trope better: The Rise of Skywalker or Picard Season 3? (long post by a hater)

1. Everyone's Related

- TRoS: retcons the story to make the protag someone's kid; it's a big reveal with little time to process; odd things are apparently genetic (like shooting lightning and being evil and goth); she rejects her heritage and chooses a different family, who are all dead; the emotional peak is a father ('s ghost) redeeming his wayward son; nepo kids get together, sorta; a claustrophobic sense of being trapped in the past and made intentionally inferior to the famous

- PIC S3: protag has had a secret kid this whole time; it's a big reveal with little time to process; odd things are apparently genetic (like bravery and accent); inconsistent with other legacy character's parental experiences (Geordi's daughters are second-tier characters who parallel Jack's rejection-acceptance-nepotism arc; Riker and Troi's kids are briefly but emotionally discussed; one emotional line about Wesley; one unemotional line about Lal; utter absence of Alexander); the emotional peak is a father redeeming his wayward son; as Picard's unqualified son and Geordi's qualified daughter get jobs on the bridge of Starfleet's flagship, Picard says, "Names mean almost nothing," and his son responds, "Names mean almost everything;" nepo kids get together, sorta; a mind-numbing sense of conservative family values and reassuring some very insecure people

2. Lesbian Queerbaiting

- TRoS: in the final celebration homage to RotJ, two minor characters kiss in the background; this spawned the "live slug reaction" meme that has now manifested as a homophobic inside joke in Jedi: Survivor

- PIC S3: Seven and Raffi got together in S2 and became Trek's first lesbian couple between two major characters (DISCO already gave us Trek's first major gay couple), but they broke up before the events of S3; they are coworkers in the end of S3, but are not back together because of...

3. Fear of Shippers

- TRoS: Finn is clearly into Rey, but it's unclear if she likes him back; Rey and Kylo kiss sans romantic music, but then he dies and she does not see his ghost; two more women are introduced to pair with Finn and Poe, but none of them get together either; it's unconfirmed, but the vibe is that they didn't want to commit to anything to try to please everyone

- PIC S3: the vibe is the same and it is confirmed:

(by "that scene," he means Picard returning to Laris)

Both franchises also had a focus on an interracial relationship (Finnrey and Saffi), then have the Black person hang out mostly with another Black character (Jannah and Worf) while the white person hangs out with mostly white characters.

4. Bad Boy Braincontrol

- TRoS: somehow Palpatine returned, and he's been in Kylo's mind this whole time; that's why he's evil, not anything of his own free will, just the old story impressing itself upon him (he still has to die though); you know this villain, just defeat him with the power of love like you did last time

- PIC S3: somehow the Borg Queen returned, and she's been in Jack's mind this whole time; that's why he has intrusive thoughts, not because that's a thing that happens to people, just the old story impressing itself upon him; you know this villain, just defeat her with the power of love like you did last time

The visual similarities of Zombie Palpatine and Zombie Borg Queen are remarkable -- physically trapped in dusty corners by creepy machines -- and would be even more interesting if I could actually see them in these dark rooms. This design, which suggests an elderly person immobile in a hospital, actually makes me feel a lot of pity and affection for them. It certainly would have felt far more heroic to help these poor creatures than to rather easily defeat them.

5. We Love Objects

- TRoS: Kylo's private room is literally a museum with curated displays of old props; fetch quest video game-y plot; lots of attention paid to whose lightsaber does what and goes where

- PIC S3: let's break into the museum of old props; kitschy oil paintings of the Enterprise and Picard on the walls; the most unearned and half-hearted "long shots of beloved ship leaving space dock" sequence in a franchise full of such sequences

Continuing the Sketchbook

I felt inspired by that 'old Molluck' and I feel like I love that Molluck more now than I used to... I noticed more differences between the AO Molluck and NnT Molluck while working on this but I also did remember again why I dislike NnT... I'll write about that later in this post.

Man, I'm not even sure when was the last time I drew something like this... It's so rare that I draw 'full settings', I mean, a background, multiple characters, something that has a story etc. I'm just used to draw portraits because well, I have felt like I just cannot draw anything else... So, I took the challenge and especially when I didn't have direct references, I had to make this perspective by myself. I tried my best and hope that it looks alright. Also, I'm sorry for the quality of these. All these look better and smoother IRL. I only take a photo and edit it, so some details are lost too. But you can see the main thing, somehow, and the main details are there, like Abe's lil hand tattoo.

I actually planned something different for the second page but I wanted to draw this way too much ... I'm not sure why but this image was just stuck inside my head. This is kinda random too since I just added some stuff that came to my mind around the drawing. I basically just drew this all day since I felt like I do need a day-off... I barely keep any holidays, even for a day... I just keep feeling more and more tired...

But yes, man I just feel like I keep loving this Gluk more and more... I just noticed how this AO Molluck gives that certain feeling SoulStorm Molluck has.

(I love what like AO Molluck looks in this cutscene...) The same situation in NnT doesn't give me this feeling, so yeah, frankly, NnT Molluck is the worst version of him in my opinion. I had forgotten how artificial voice NnT Molluck has... I hadn't seen any NnT cutscene for like two years. NnT Molluck makes different sounds too, like AO Molluck makes some 'random murmur' sounds while NnT one growls. I love that murmur he makes, it's adorable... He kinda does it in SS too!

I also noticed that NnT cutscene doesn't have that 'Molock suckz' text, just now... I wonder why. I personally love that lil detail and the fact that the Gametee's RuptureFarms hoodie has that printed on it! Well, I still don't agree on that, though it depends on how we define 'suck' here; he does smoke a lot!

Oh, and I also realized how they changed what Molluck says in that cutscene in NnT too! He doesn't say 'Kill 'im!' anymore but something like 'Get toast!', if I hear right... Man, Molluck truly got softer there. But that toast thing tickled my dark humour... Yeah, when Molluck manages to catch Abe, he wants to make a good sandwich from him, put him between a bread, and before killing him, he asks from Abe: 'Whadda ya are?'. Abe replies: 'I'm a weak, pathetic, uneducated, shmuck of a slave sandwich'. Those were Abe's last words. The end.

I cannot help myself that I enjoy dark humour like that... Oddworld is just perfect for my humour! I have been joking after making that joke that welp, maybe being like all day with Molluck makes me be more like him too... Yeah, I don't hate Abe but for some reason, the only character I care about is Molluck. He just means so much to me... After all these years, I finally found a character that is 'perfect' for me. Well, I only like a few characters in general too... But none of them (but Molluck) feel 'right' for me, at least in the same sense as Molluck; it can take some time to realize it. I can like count with one hand the characters that feel somehow special to me; like one of them is like me as a villain, feels like my alter ego.

It's just kinda odd to think how 'the one' for me was Molluck... No one else has made me feel like he does... It's just so interesting but I love to have him as that one. When I saw him, in both AO and SS, before really getting into him, I felt nothing special toward him, didn't see anything special in his appearance either; I only liked Gluks in general. But then, that SS Molluck just started to feel like me as a Gluk and here I am!

Why do you think so many people cling to the idea that Leona would be an asshole to his s/o? Like he would delight in beating up his partner and would be offended if his partner wanted a little bit of intimacy.

I know Leona is mean and he is very guarded but..still

He’s not that kinda character. Basically, why does the fandom have two very different versions of Leona?

I am going to be 1000% honest and say I'm pretty sure it's people being racist. Leona, someone who is based off a film that takes place in Africa, meaning he would be black. So people are vehemently characterizing him, the black housewarden, as an aggressive abuser? Hmmm...

Like you said, Leona is no saint, he's guarded and can be an asshole. But he isn't an aggressor. He's said time and time again that using brute force for a problem isn't his ideal, that he prefers to make a plan and out smart the opponents. When he found out some Savanaclaw students were going to gang up on and beat Jack up, Leona intervened. These are not the marks of an abuser. The only time I can think of him being over the top pissed (save for the Overblot, but everyone went off the rails leading up to their Overblots. So he isn't special in that regard.) was when the Mc meets him in the botanical garden. But the matter is let go once Ruggie shows up a moment later and it is forgotten. It ended up being all talk. The point I'm getting at is Leona doesn't get physical until it's needed, even with people he doesn't like. So him putting hands on his partner of all people doesn't make sense. In short Leona is a poc man who isn't some flawless saint, and thus will be villainized.

I think another part of it on some level is people being misogynistic. I see a good chunk female Leona fans putting him into the role of protector for girl!Yuus and xreaders. For example. Another thing about Leona as a character, that has been stated multiple times in game is in his culture, women are valued and respected, and him being raised in that culture, means Leona does too. Part of Leonas appeal ,to female fans specifically, is him actually giving a fuck about women, and I do think some asshats absolutely hate that. Because I've seen tik toks joking around about some of the boys being misguided, like they clearly took some bad "how to be more manly" type advice. Then look at the comments and it's stuff like, "He took advice from Leona" Are we talking about the same Leona? Because the one I know would hear you spouting that nonsense and think you're fucking idiot. People love to do the exact opposite of his characterization.

This all reminds when I was very into Pokemon SWSH. Raihan is my favorite character in that game. And I saw a good chunk of people really lean into the whole "feral dragon man" persona. If you haven't played the game, when the gym leader Raihan battles in the arena, he yells, he takes a wide stanch, he acts like the dragons he trains. And it's all an act for the cameras. Outside the gym he is friendly, takes care of historical artifacts, and likes taking pictures for his instagram. He is the most laidback guy in that game. And yet people really love to make his battle persona his only personality trait. Raihan is also a very tall dark skinned man. I can't help but side eye it all. Because none of that math checks out unless you add a racist bias to the equation.

The insignificance of gossip and feuds, June 9 ‘23

Does it matter who I am?

Does it truly matter who I am? Who hates me, loves me, wants me, despises me, what significance does my person have in the grand scheme of another’s life? None. One grain of salt in the snow, you’d never know I was there. In light of community and companionship, surely I am significant. I know I am loved, wholeheartedly by those who matter most. But whose a stranger to tell me what I’m worth, what kind of person I am? You’ve never seen me— you’ve never seen me and never will. It seems to be the ones who know me the least who are the most eager to tell me what I am, as if they have some exclusive peep show to the inner workings of my person even I am oblivious too. Dear stranger, I’d like a peek too. Please do show me the grotesque burlesque show that unfolds when you look at me— by God am I interested!

What version of me have you construed in your head? Does he laugh as often? Does he still smile from the corner of his mouth? Does he still love to drown in the pages of a book and the taste of dark chocolate? Or maybe, in your story, Im the cartoonish villain, the vain child with his candy and propeller hat. Why does it matter? The answer is null either way. It is null because this version of me that is construed by hate, simply does not exist, it is a personification of fragmented half truths glued together by spite. Who could blame the hateful, for it is far easier to paint a picture in black and white than it is in color.

I’ve found in life, you’ll cross people who are miserable for the sake of being miserable. Incomplete and socially incompetent souls turn their insecurity outward on their sleeve, putting the last of their waning effort towards dissecting others. They allow themselves to rot in the process, folding in on their sense of self by wearing the mask of hate. Emotional tyrants whose source of gratification rely solely on pending reactions; on seeing just how miserable they can make others feel. But what does it matter who I am?

I know me, more intimately than anyone will ever know me. I’ve felt shame and guilt and the hot tears on my cold face, I’ve seen the worst of me in the mirror, and the best of me in love, Isn’t that all that matters? When we are old and reflecting on our lives, will the petty gossip they spew be something they look back on in fondness? Surely I won’t remember, I chose love, after all. I chose love, and that warm feeling in your core you get when you embrace a loved one, the buzz in your skull when you converse with a friend, the hum in your skin when you touch and are touched. Surely they will die miserable too.

Yandere Gray Fullbuster

Honestly these may sound bland, but this is one of those characters that unless I write out a scenario/drabble, he won’t sound that intriguing. If that makes sense....? Anyways, please enjoy! 

These are my interpretations of his/her/their persona and none of these are 100% accurate. I don't condone any of these actions in real life and all of this is purely fictional and should be taken as such!

Overprotective, stalker, and possessive. I truly am afraid I will butcher and misinterpret his character, but these are the vibes I get. Unlike Natsu who is a lot more childlike and tends to joke a lot, Gray sticks to a more serious behavior. Now mind you, I did read the manga and finished it but that was back in middle school. . .so I may get a few things wrong, feel free to correct me if needed! Spoilers for the most recent season I think? I completely forgot why he did it, but he infiltrated that villain group and just outright left Juvia. Yeah, it was a shitty thing to do, but he did it with the idea of protecting her (but also at Erza’s request). He’s the type to do things himself and keep you in the dark.

Definitely overprotective. Gray cares for his guildmates (seen plenty of times) and truly wants the best for them. Despite the occasional trash talk, for his guild he’ll sacrifice everything. With his S/O, I like to think he’ll do the same. Not afraid to stand up for them in public, but prefers a more secluded way of helping. If you ever go on a job, he’ll offer to accompany you but if you choose to decline he’ll respect that. He will also follow you and stay hidden, possibly dealing with villains in the background ensuring your mission goes smoothly. The type to offer to walk you home, “I walk by that way anyways, it’s not trouble at all.” He’ll never admit that he already secretly follows you to make sure nobody comes after you!

Tying in with his stalking abilities, he acts like your shadow. It’s more of a precaution, but he can’t help following you around. When you leave the guild after work and start making your way home, he’s there ready to make sure you get there safely. On your way to hang out with someone? He’ll follow you around as well! If by any chance you manage to catch him, he’ll simply brush it off and say that he’s following a lead on a job and walk away from you. This ties in with his possessiveness, if he ever needs a person to go on a job with, he’ll ask you. If Natsu ever were to flirt with you (not like this man can flirt) or anyone (Loke tbh) for that matter, he’d initiate the fight. You’re his and he’s not afraid to claim. I know these headcanons sound very plain but he’s not a scary yandere. I’d say a 6/10.

In the end, you matter to him. Your happiness matters as well as your safety, he truly does care for you. If you were to ask him for help, who is he to deny? Gray is a man of morals but I believe he’s willing to toss some aside to ensure your safety. If you already were in a relationship with him, he’s attached by the hip. He’s always there, he’s not too big on PDA but having an arm around your waist is something up his style. The type to ruffle your head, the type to flick your forehead when you say something stupid, the type to smile at you before leaving after he said something cheesy. It will make sense when I write him I swear.

Having so much fun with sb ruin, we haven't run into ANY major glitches never mind game breaking ones, and we've just done the new daycare section. Spoilers if you haven't got that far and want to play it, but I had some thoughts about Eclipse.

Now eclipse is something that's been in the fandom for a while, I think before even the balloon boy game was found, but it's never really been canon? I don't think the name ever appeared in game, but previously the only depiction of some secret third personality in the daycare attendant was the strange purple glitch in the minigame that revealed a red black glowing sun face with red eyes. It was all very threatening and spooky, and you are in a horror game after all (supposedly), so of course people imagined eclipse to be some ultra terrifying final line of defence for the daycare or the pizzaplex as a whole. Tall. Aggressive. Clever. Comes with a whole colour change to match, the way sun and moon do.

But ruin showed a completely different Eclipse! He (they? It?) was clear of mind (mostly, he was convinced the plex was running as normal), kind, and safe! He even gently dropped cassie off outside the play area! Even sun in sb physically threw us out in fury lmao. His eyes glowed different colours, his ARMS glowed different colours (that would have been so cool in sb), he had the rays and cap at the same time!

But why? What reason was eclipse programmed? In the daycare, there wouldn't have been any reason for him.

Well, there's the theory that sun and moon weren't originally created for the daycare, at least not solely. Instead, it's highly possible that they were made for the theatre next door.

Why? Well, for one, their design. Sun and moon are dressed like jesters, with bright colours and stripes, baggy trousers, curled toe slippers, and bells and ribbons on every limb. They bob and move in a way designed to jingle, with very long and articulate joints, even their head has a huge range of motion compared to the other animatronics. In fact, pretty much everything BUT their face is very expressive. It's as if they were designed to be seen at a distance. Exposed wires on the back of their head too, something none of the other animatronics have (being grabbed and hugged and climbed by kids all day, that's dangerous! To both them and the animatronics!)

The theatre, too, is designed and fitted for live performances. Though it is mostly a movie theatre now with a giant screen, there was still that badly programmed staff bot comedian (both in the game setting and its actual coding lmao) and the entire backstage area with dressing rooms, abandoned set pieces and undressed endos. The sun and moon faces are the theatre masks of joy and sorrow at its entrance. It's very likely sun and moon were originally intended to be the main actors, playing both villain and hero roles and saving the company a LOT of money in the long run, not paying for lead actors every day.

So what does this have to do with eclipse?

In the daycare, his presence makes little sense, but as a theatre performer, it would have been invaluable. Instead of making the character unbalanced in one direction, eclipse could have served as narrator, ringmaster, ambassador, he would have been the one bowing after a show, the one talking to parents, handing out flyers and merch, all the stuff you need to front that kind of show.

For one, it puts sun and moon on equal levels as all their marketing does, rather than sun being pretty much the sole worker. It allows them to act and be seen as two parts of a whole, rather than sun (and his evil counterpart). Eclipse is unbothered by changes in light, moving from the bright spotlights that crippled moon into total darkness that overrode dun in sb. From a production standpoint, eclipse is ideal to work with, the best parts of sun and moon.

But why sell one lot of merch when you could sell two? Make it a set?

And when they were repurposed to the daycare attendant, there wasn't much use for a third personality at all. Maybe behind the curtains, down in parts and services, maybe some niche situations. But without merch, without need, with the animatronic still in use, common knowledge of the eclipse program dissipated like mist.

All except for sun and moon and one broken arcade machine.

Sun never actually says moons name or pronouns or anything afaik...? #It's just 'keep the lights on' and 'why would you do that?!' and 'I'm trapped in a nap!' #And of course freddy only refers to the da as 'it' so... That's kinda it to my knowledge lol #I hc them as 'it' but I use 'he' the same way I use he for loz link it's just more clear who you're referring to and they're fictional #I do think a lot of sun/moons... Worst habits would have improved if they'd still had regular time as eclipse ngl. Sun was very overworked.

Jin Bubaigawara alphabet fluff

Note - first time doing this kinda thing. So, enjoy

Fandom; MHA

Note - Hope half of these make sense.

Warnings; none ?

A = Admiration ( What do they adore about you ? )

Jin loves everything about you, but if he had to choose one thing. It's the fact that you still accept him for who he is. It makes him feel safe and ignore the whole villain part of his life. Like he's killed and hurt plenty of people and you're still with him.

B = Body ( What is their favorite part of your body ? )

Your hands, he isn't too sure why he loves them so much. But he'll take every and any chance to hold your hand(s)

C = Cuddling ( how do they like to cuddle )

Not too sure how to explain it but it's something like this;

D = Dates ( What does their ideal date look like ? )

Jin's very busy with his everyday life and the league so dates are very rare. But when they do happen, he'll try bringing you to a nice restaurant or the park.

E = Emotions ( How do they express emotions around you ? )

I feel like on some days, Jin will try to bottle up all of his emotions and thoughts so you don't have to worry. While on other days, he'll be very honest with you.

F = Family ( Do they want a family ? If they do, when ? )

Yes! He'll definitely want one. He's always thought about having a family. As for when. He's not to sure, maybe in the future when he possibly quits the league. Or gives the villain thing a break.

G = Gifts ( How do they feel about gift giving ? What are their habits when it comes to this ? )

Jin loves giving you gifts that he totally paid for he's very happy when giving you something. He had found while out. He's even more happy, when you accept it.

H = Holding hands ( how/when do they like to hold hands ? )

As mentioned before. Jin will and can take every chance to hold your hand, busy with work ? Wants to hold your hand, talking to a friend ? Trys to hold your hand, trying to sleep ? Hold his hand please :( he can't sleep without it.

I = Injury ( How do they react to you being injured )

He's freaks out he trys to act fine . How did you get hurt ?! What happened ? Who does he have to hurt >:( Jin will rush around his apartment, making a mess just to find bandages.

J = Jokes ( Do they like to joke around w/ you ? )

Yes! Jin likes to joke around with you. Even though some of the jokes might be more dark humor or about himself.

K = Kisses ( how do they like to kiss you ? )

Depending on his mood. Jin's kisses can go from playful to passionate in the flip of a coin.

L = Love ( How do they show you they love you ? )

Jin shows he loves you by saying it. He'll take any chance to say it, even if that means screaming it across from his apartment window or not.

M = Memory ( Favorite memory together )

His favorite memory is when the two of you spent the whole day watching silly/stupid movies.

N = Nightmare ( what's their worst fear ? )

His worst fear is loosing you. If it's in a battle or just in general. He's just terrified about the thought of loosing another person close to him.

O = Oddity ( What is one quirk they have ? )

Idk what this means, so I'll have to skip it ^^;

P = Pet names ( what do they like to call you ? )

Doll, dear, the love of my life, sexy, beautiful, love.

Q = Quality time ( How do they like to spend time with you ? )

Jin likes spending time with you by going for walks, maybe going shopping or even bringing you to see the league.

R = Rhythm ( what song reminds you of them ? )

This Is Love by Air Traffic Controller

S = Secrets ( how open are they with you ? )

If you and Jin just started dating. He won't be as open, I mean he'll tell you a few things here and there.

Now, if you two have been in a relationship for a few years then he'll be really open with you.

T = Time ( How long did it take you to get together )

Maybe 2 years, I feel like Jin wouldn't want to rush you into being with him. He'd want to get too know you first, and what your comfortable with, uncomfortable with. All that stuff before putting an actual label on everything.

U = Upset ( How do they act when you're upset. )

Panics a little, probably thinks he did something wrong that caused you to be upset. If he did do something wrong, he'll either start apologizing or trying to ignore you. Which lasts like 2 seconds.

V = Vaunt ( Do they like to show you off ? )

Hell yeah! He loves showing you off to literally everyone. I mean, how could he not. Your amazing, wonderful, beautiful, talented and much more.

W = Warrior ( how do they feel about you fighting ? Will they fight for you ? )

He'll definitely fight for you. Jin feels safer knowing that your not in any kind of danger. As for you fighting, he'll be a little hesitant about it at first. But with enough convincing, he might let you.

X = X-Ray ( How well are they able to read you )

I'm not to sure what this one means either.

Y = Yes ( How would they propose to you ? )

He'll try to be all romantic about it, wanting to wait a while before actually proposing to you. He might accidently spoil the whole thing and drop the ring or blurt something out that was meant to be a secret. But, if you still say yes after that. Then he's happy.

Z = Zen ( What makes them feel calm )

Your voice, he feels more relaxed when he's able to hear your voice. He always looks forward to coming back home and hearing you greet him. It sucks, though when he's on a long mission with the league and can't get back home in time. However, Jin will try calling you. Just to hear you ramble on about your day.
