Wish there were more people like you who were open to exploring dynamics between two characters in an alternate universe where they are not bound by familial relationship/title or whatever it's called. I get it tsams/tlaes have a lot of family things going on and a-specs things but eh what do I expect from a fandom that started the hate on sunxmoon shippers? I'll continue shipping sunxmoon, eclipsexsun, solarxmoon and solarxearth(thanks to that one anon from before for introducing me to this) not as family related, and the fandom can suck it

Honestly.

Like one person told me "Moon and Solar are brothers" once.

And?..

They're not.

That's like saying Ink and Dream or something from the Undertale Au verse are brothers cause they're alternate realities of eachother and people ship them all the time???

"but they have the same face"

So???

So does Lolbit and Funtime Foxy. They're a couple in SBshow verse.

Mickey and Minnie mouse have the same face and no one raises stink about the most classic example of same face syndrome.

They're robots and I think physical appearance matters very little to them in the grand scheme of things. But that might just be my demisexual ass talking.

On a side note, I know the VA for Earth, Aka: Kat has been very "ship and let ship" with the fandom. And I think that's why in the Solar therapy session, she clarified that she knows Solar isn't biologically related. Technically none of them are, she just wants to consider him part of the family.

I remember awhile back the fandom was so hostile to people who saw Lunar as an adult and would draw him in adult situations. (Like taxes/half joking you know what I mean)

And I believe that was the last big drama the actors like Davis was directly involved in before he took a step back from that and told the fandom to sort it out themselves. And I really don't blame him. There are people who are crazy and just feel entitled to things.

And in more recent episodes, Lunar has stated more frequently that he is an adult animatronic of sound mind who can make his own decisions, so that they can put that issue to bed with the discourse.

(I personally think that gen1/2 Lunar was very much a kid psychology and through the course of the course of the show, and due to his experiences and truama he grows up in two years and he's a young adult now. This reflects in every time he has a model change or appearance.)

See this is what I mean when I say they are robots. Robots can grow up from 13 to 24 (approximately) in the span of two years. Robots can change their mind about family dynamics and say "you know what I think that i don't feel like a cousin, as what I feel for Moon is more intense then familiar bonds. So I change my mind." And this is allowed. This is allowed. Like I would not think this way about human characters.

People in the transformers fandom are really familiar with this concept as well. At least the few people I talk to from an outsider perspective. The transformers robots change their relationships in canon to eachother all the time from what I hear.

And yes. I know tsams is focused on themes of family and found family and togetherness. Like I'm not media illiterate. I know what one of the themes are. For some reason, people think I don't know tsams is about family.

Like bruh.

This whole show took two years for them to build the family and support network they all have with eachother when before the show was a toxic family relationship with Sun and Moon only. And I think it's beautiful how it evolved and how many characters there are and how big the family is now!

It's great!

And I do separate in my brain what's going on in canon and what's going on in my shipping brain.

This doesn't mean I can have fun on the side. With silly speculations and silly headcanons.

Giggling to myself and twirling my hair about the "what ifs" and aus

Staying out of the main tags and talking to my own friends with my own company.

While also analyzing the show and leaving tsams lots of long lovely YouTube comments about what the show is actually about.

Also. Consider this.

Since the multiverse is canon in tsams, in definition, by their own rules, there is a universe where everything in tsams is the same, except your ship is canon.

Evil!Sun even said that Sun and Moon being brothers is more rare across dimensions then we initially assumed.

So they're either enemies, strangers, they killed eachother, or something else.

They only are brothers after their canon event of separating and agreeing to work together. So there are some universes where that never happened.

Meaning most likely that our Moon's portal runs on a central finite curve.

So take that as you will.

How do you think Gale handles jeaously? If you romance another companion, he does not seem jealous, and instead asks you to choose. Later, if Halsin asks to have a relationship he's very opposed to the idea. I do not believe it out of jealously, maybe a bit, but more insecurity.

We can see at the epligoue party that Gale seems more comfortable and safe in his relationship. I think with that comes feeling safe with more uncomfortable emotions such as jealousy.

Hi!! TY for the ask. Sorry it took me a bit. (I went in a mental spiral about a possessive jealous Gale).

So as much as the idea of a more jealous Gale makes my brain go brrrrrr. I actually don't see Gale as being a very jealous person.

For a couple reasons; but mostly, he is fully committed and trusts Tav. After all, Tav was there for him at the most vulnerable time of his life. The point when he was at his absolute lowest; Tav was there. I don't think he'd easily forget that. Even if Tav does approach him with the idea of adding another person, he answers honestly - it's not for him - and you can drop it there and as he says 'never speak of it again'. If he was truly jealous I think that would send him spiraling or he'd have a more heated reaction to that.

(Note: Now you could argue that's just the limitation of the game (and they didn't want to go into a telenovela style relationship drama scene in act 3) but whatever. I'm going to claim that at a testament to his character)

The one thing that held me back on this was that jealousy typically comes from insecurity but I honestly think his unwaivering trust and love for Tav outweighs his own internal insecurities. So, he might get mildly jealous internally (say, if he saw someone flirting with Tav) but he trusts Tav and wouldn't give into his jealous feelings.

Plus he's very logical and would probably take a rather pragmatic look at the situation. If anything ever felt like it was too much and Tav maybe crossed a boundary I think he'd approach them honestly and discuss it. Gale is very to the point and wouldn't dance around things. Which is another thing I think jealousy festers in.

Edit: I was rambling on and forgot something! So as time goes on and on I think he'd get more comfortable, more confident, and even less jealous. I can picture Tav telling stories of flowers getting thrown at them or someone proposing to them randomly (being the hero of Baldurs Gate and all) and Gale just chuckling and telling them he hoped Tav let them down gently.

(that said, it won't stop me from picturing all kinds of smutty scenes with a jealous Gale)

#gale headcanons #gale of waterdeep #gale dekarios #gale #sorry i rambled #idek if this makes sense #i should say too i actually hate jealousy in relationships and am not a jealous person at all

Hiii, I ADORE your chain as Cryptids AU, all of your art is gorgeous and every character is wonderfully unique, I wanted to ask for a lil more lore if possible? While Four is my favorite character we have not had nearly enough asks for Hyrule! And fairies in general, in your au are they more fae-like with some trickster tendencies or very kind and giving like the Minish? Thoughts on bottles, etc? TYSM!

Oh boy oh boy do I have some Hyrule Thoughts. And some general fairy thoughts as well!

(Under the cut because this is gonna get long)

For this au, I’m thinking of just Zelda fairies. Little glowing balls of light that flutter on fragile wings, iridescent and magical and gentle. Fairies have an affinity for magic: all kinds of magic, though they’re best known for their healing abilities. There isn’t a single archetype of what a fairy’s behavior will be. Some can be tricksters, some can be kind, some can be shy, some can have the most ill of intentions. Fairies are like people, really, in that they’re not just all one thing. (This is what separates them from spirits, really. They’re just on the cusp of ascension, but unlike Koroks or Blupees or Dragons or anything like that, they cling to their mortality and allow themselves to grow and evolve. Because of this, Hyrule is not a part of the telepathy circle).

There are many communities of Fairies, and they tend to group up around a Great Fairy as their leader. There are some colonies that are independent of Great Fairies, though, but they are rare to find, as they are at a much higher risk.

You see, while Fairies are magical, they’re very fragile. Usually, a typical Fairy wouldn’t posses enough magic to defend themself against a Hylian captor. Docile and tiny, they’re quite easy to bottle up and carry off, and easily discarded once they’re used. Great Fairies are much more powerful than the average Fairy, and even more powerful than a Hylian, so sticking around them is preferred. They protect the others.

Hyrule is a very unique case. You see, he was born with the Spirit of the Hero. For this au, the Spirit of the Hero acts as an enhancer for any kind of spiritual or magical power a Link already possesses. For example, Twilight is only able to shift because he’s descended from a God and possess the Hero’s Spirit. (Otherwise, one of his parents would have had God Powers TM too, and they probably wouldn’t have died so soon).

In Hyrule’s case, having the Hero’s Spirit grants him much more magic than a typical Fairy- almost as much magic as a Great Fairy herself. All of this power in such a small frame… no one is the wiser. Hyrule has enough magic to properly defend himself (if he had any sort of training… which, as a child, he didn’t) and most importantly, he has enough magic to hold a Hylian disguise for a LONG TIME. His glamour can change the way that he’s perceived but cannot change his actual shape. Others can see and even touch his changed form, but it is not real.

ANYWAY. Yeah. Bottles. Fairies are afraid of them, are afraid of Hylians. And Rito and Gerudo and Gorons and Zora and monsters and literally everything under the sun. When you’re two inches tall, everything is a threat.

Fairies are hunted mercilessly by Hylians, mostly. They’re never killed, not outright, but they’re taken from their colonies and shoved into a tiny bottle, sometimes for weeks and months on end (Fairies don’t starve as quickly as other species would, able to expend magic to keep their little bodies functioning). That being said, they often do not survive captivity. A tiny little bottle, often shoved in a bag and jostled around, no light, no food or water, all alone, just glass on all sides. It’s no place for a Fairy. Even if they do make it out (after expending magic to heal whatever wound they were abducted to treat), they will rarely make it back to their Great Fairy before succumbing to magical exhaustion or being captured again.

On the topic of magical exhaustion: Fairies have a limited amount of magic they can expend before they have to recover. Even one as powerful as Hyrule has their limits. Recovery almost always means rest, and it can mean their body does a forced shut down and simply stops working for days at a time. Often, Fairies are more hungry when they’re recovering, as magic can no longer be used to sustain the body.

Hyrule is less vulnerable to this than other Fairies would be, but when he’s standing next to the Chain? And every single one of them is hurt? After a fight where he’d used his magic to take down dozens of monsters? All while keeping up his glamour? Yeah, he’s gonna be feeling that one.

Telltale signs of magical exhaustion before it gets to the point of actually passing out: Physical exhaustion, drowsiness. Headaches, sudden hunger. Feeling cold. Often, the other heroes might notice Hyrule picking up an extra serving at mealtimes or ask to huddle up with someone at night (oftentimes Sky, as his wings are very warm and he doesn’t bat an eye when asked to cuddle). Hyrule sleeps longer, but never seems to gain any more energy.

Magical exhaustion, if pushed too far, can be fatal.

ANYWAY. When Hyrule first joins the Chain, he forces all of them to free any Fairies they might have. He enforces that rule as others join, and is hesitant to lower his glamour. I’m think that for a long time, they don’t even know he’s a Fairy. He’s terrified that if they find out, they’ll bottle him up and use him for healing and never let him go. For. Long time, he’s terrified of them. Fairy Bottlers surround him. It’s not until he physically cannot keep his “Hylian” form up that the others find out what he is, and he never expected them to be so understanding. So… apologetic. Actually legitimately regretful of their Fairy Bottling pasts.

ONE MORE THING. Four can turn Minish sized. When Hyrule works himself to magical exhaustion and passes out, he goes back to his True Form, the two inch tall lil Fairy. And of course, when that happens, it’s really really difficult for the Chain to move him or help him without accidentally hurting his tiny body. So Four will shrink down and help him to bed, check to make sure that he wasn’t hurt when he fell unconscious, and stay with him at their size so he’s not alone when he wakes.

I have many more thoughts but this is getting actually so long. I apologize!

i think at this point most people know i’m not a big sokeefe fan but i think that’s mostly because i don’t like the later books (except flashback which is amazing)

like if sokeefe would’ve happened in lodestar or earlier i would’ve LOVED IT because back then they were still just babies forced into the world

and i think the reason i don’t like sokeefe in legacy forward is because of Fitz. i was/am a Fitz lover through and through and so if fitzphie never happened i think i would’ve became a sokeefe shipper

it’s just the whole way Fitzphie turned out, it left me resenting sophie and keefe a lil bit so it’s interesting to see how i would’ve like sokeefe to turn out instead of how it actually did

Are there notable angels/demons in the File Recovery universe based on works such as the Ars Goeta or the Shem Ha-Mephorash? If so, what are they?

I've taken some light inspiration from the Ars Goeta (Stolforns name is really just a combination of Stolas+Forneus) and Dantes Inferno but have mostly strayed from mentioning specific demon names/locations and themes in other works.

Well I guess besides the Bible- again File Recovery is based round a lot of complex religious thoughts I had going to catholic school/church as a kid so I consider it impossible for me to not to take influence from the old and new testament, the seven virtues, saints, confirmation, communion etc... idk I just want more religious fantasy stories that aren't all about converting people or modern day politics

#ask #anon #also the fact that the majority of modern religious based stories kinda suck major ass and never really...dares to be anything interesting #like the best thing that would happen in bible class is when they let us watch prince of egypt #or when they read to us a kiddie version of the pilgrims progress #and i just thought the worldbuilding was the coolest thing as 5th grader #course the narnia books too were like everywhere in school but my faves were the latter books where everything just goes horribly wrong #response #sorry i rambled

Right, re: the sexism in TDS1, i think the season definitely engages with the sexism and violence of rust and marty in interesting ways. I forget the exact quote but early on rust says something like "I'm a bad man, we need bad men to keep other bad men from the door" which I've always found to be a pretty on the nose commentary on these themes. Marty & Rust justify their violence, sexism, and abuse of people's rights because they see themselves as good guys (in Marty's case), or in service of a greater good/lesser evil (in Rust's case). Which, they are the protagonists and sympathetic so I understand & in many ways agree with a reading that, like most cop shows, TD kind of ends up valorizing rust and marty. ANYWAY I've always thought it to be engaging with it the way you framed it in that other ask - the women and children in these men's lives are treated like shit, and I don't think the show justifies how they're treated like shit (tbh i don't even think the show paints women in a shitty way or blames them, it's that the protagonists do that which isn't the same), but MARTY justifies his behavior by believing that (1) its Not That Bad because it could be so much worse and (2) I'm A Hard Working Hero and I Deserve Slack. This ended up very rambling but i hope that makes sense

i think the most interesting thing about season one is that rust and marty are both not good people, as you mentioned rust views himself as a bad man but a correct bad man. he breaks laws and abuses his police power and uses violence to get what he wants but he does all of it because he knows/believes that it's the only way to get the badder man, the man abusing and killing women and children. his bad actions are correct and validated in his head because he has to catch his bad guy. obvi being undercover in narco for as long as he was changed him and how he views the law, like how he tells the woman he buys drugs from that "of course im dangerous, im police. i can do bad things with impunity". i can sympathize with rust far more than marty because you can see more/understand more why rust became who he is.

marty is a cheating controlling asshole who treats women like property and wants to impose his view of womanhood onto them. he gets mad when rust mows his lawn and talks to his wife when marty isn't home because marty is a cheater and most cheating men assume all other men are cheaters. but he feels it is warranted how he treats women, he tries every excuse in the book to write off his behavior to his wife but at his core he does what he wants and doesn't care much how it hurts others. he only cares because it affects him, he blames his mistress for ruining his family as if he didn't ruin it by sleeping with him.

rust is defined as a type of outlaw detective who does whatever he wants, regardless of using violence and police red tape, because he has convinced himself that he is right about his theory. he will put himself and marty in countless dangerous situations, attack and kill people (especially in the drug plot in the middle of the season) because he has convinced himself all of this has to happen. granted, at the end of the show rust Was right about everything so his actions seemed warranted but even he states that he was aware he might have been insane in his actions. he is so far gone into his desire for justice and to catch His killer nothing else matters, after he caught his killer the only thing he mentions about the case is how he didn't realize who it was when he first met him.

marty is interesting to me because he a womanizing cheating asshole who will hit his daughter without hesitation and cheat on his wife whenever he wants but will blow a suspect's head off because he was abusing children and finally quits because of a violent death of an infant. he claims being a family man is so important and wants rust to get a woman but breaks apart his own family because of what he wants.

anyways. i love when the main characters are bad people, far more interesting that way.

#written in blood #sorry i rambled #rust is far more justified to me because while he does arguably worse shit than marty does his actions are more pure #everything bad he does is tied to catching a worse man. marty does bad things because he wants to

What do you think The Lazarus Pit feels, tastes, and smells like? Because you’re going to get some in your mouth and nose. What are your thoughts?

Oh that’s a good question!!!

I don’t know a ton of lore on Lazarus Pits, so correct me if I’m wrong or there’s a canon interpretation. But I think there’s a variety of interesting options:

Salty, kind of like blood. Thick and full of iron, slightly warm. Like swallowing someone else’s blood.

Bitter and rancid. Like decomposition fluids or rotting garbage. Cold and just barely liquid, choking you as it slides down your throat.

Sweet in a cloying, suffocating way. Like the sweetness of fresh decomposition. Covering up something worse underneath.

Acidic. It burns you alive, and enters every orifice of your body. Stinging, flaying pain that sinks deep into your skin and is inescapable.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. A weightless, maddening sensory deprivation.

I know I'm probably not supposed to but ..... I don't exactly think Donnie was in the wrong for his outburst.Like, whether or not Leo meant to he did destroy something that meant a lot to Donnie and they just lived through an exhausting nightmare. On a good day Donnie struggles with emotions and he's being asked to suddenly emotionally deal with something way out of his wheelhouse. It doesn't really feel fair that he's suddenly forced to be more emotionally intelligent than he ever has before because of something Leo kinda did do to himself. Leo is a lot younger than Donnie now but Donnie is still a kid himself. Idk I've just been thinking about your au Donnie a lot

YOU'RE SO RIGHT THOUGH!!!!

I have a lot of thoughts about Donnie in this au, like he really is putting 100% into fixing the problem and getting basically nothing back from Leo. Like sure, Leo is just a kid and is scared and stuff, but Donnie is really truly just trying to get him back to the right age!!!

I've been in Donnie's position before of being rightfully frustrated but having to be the 'bigger person' ( in his case literally lmao) so I really wanted him to be able to get frustrated and get mad

oh man not even the fact that he's probably both physically and mentally exhausted:

(idk how legible this is but Donnie and Raph have slept ONCE throughout this entire ordeal )

I made a little timeline because you're so right and I have so many thoughts I can't even express about why Donnie isn't in the wrong in his frustration.

Also YEAH LEO DESTROYED LIKE??? PRECIOUS CHILDHOOD ART?? And I will say with 1000% certainty that it was super important to Donnie cause it truly was his first collaboration with Leo !!! and it was like!!! idk it wasn't like their first fight ever but it was the first time Leo had actually tried to make up for something he did ( even though it was an accident, it really showed him that 'Oh Leo actually does care about me even though we fight a lot' )

augh aug augh I have so many thoughts about this cause being able to see that Donnie is not a true anatagonist in this story is something reaslly important to me yknow???

#sorry i rambled #it's just so!!!! #important!! #cause yeah he yelled but he is so beyond frustrated #like i would yell too #and frankly its not fair that Leo gets to be upset and Donnie doesn't #THEY SHOULD ALL GET TO BE UPSET!!! #TY ANON CAUSE YOU GET IT YOU COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND

i agree with you about peaking behind the curtains and seeing how awful the federation really is! (plus honestly elena's design is SO cute) i do wish theyd put the lore back in the hands of the islanders though </3 but we cant have everything i guess LOL

I LOVE HER, Also the implications that she’s behind so many of the destructive creations of the federation is sooooo !!!!!! Wow lady you sure have some fucked up morals keep at it I hope you get WORSE

She’s like if cucurucho knew social cues and tried to justify what it does in the base of “it’s for the greater good of the future !! For science !!”, she’s so so cool and opens so many possibilities for other characters

But also !!!! we have gotten some story from the islanders tho. We got stuff from Phil, Antoine dropping subtle stuff, Tubbo, Roier and Pepito’s conflicting issues, and Bagi and Tina’s relationship development, and of course the eggs relationships with one another developing.

Some are more tame than others but it’s still story

Yeah, same, I never heard the name before nier.

Also og Replicant player? My respect to you.

I couldn't even watch a walkthrough because I'm a sucker for a pretty artstyle, and after automata with beautiful models I simply couldn't look at Replicant, so I just left this game until version 1.22... came out.

points

my beloved world destroyer

idk if its bc i grew up in snes/ps1 times and always have a soft spot for "old" games, anime and overall style but i rlly dont mind this old or unpolished or rusty mechanics or looks and i kinda like the og more in many cases. not that the replicant remaster is bad, im glad they did considering the og is japanese release only (not gestalt, that was western release only). nier looks beautiful still!! but im just so used to the og haha

FF talk but its also the reason why i prefer my bb og squall (and tidus) too btw!!! he was all high quali for dissidia etc and while he didnt look bad (i DO NOT understand why they changed his clothes tho) he was missing this charm from his time. og squall is always the most beautiful of all to me and i prefer him over anything. ik they wont ever give VIII the love theyre blowing up clouds ass but if they ever considered it, i hope they will stick close to that og look ahh...

anw yea automata was v pretty looking and newer modern games do too but ill always b very comfortable and stuck w the older ones i think pff

Random thing I'm thinking about art cause if a scenario i was in

I have a friend who loves to rp and worldbuild and create amazing stories and characters. He used to request me for arts on occasion cause then i gave out a ton and also he explained he couldnt draw. I did encourage him a bunch but in the end he insisted he could only draw stick figures and didnt ever really try.

I wish i encouraged more cause now hes always on about ai art and the images of his characters feel kinda soulless now. If he didn't think he could do art then ai kinda blocks any reason for him to try now.

It sucks cause art is such a good creative expression. Anyone can draw in my eyes. Like i don't care if you suck, you can always get better. And if you don't? So what? I've seen artists who use the same style they started with and continue to use for years and years. What matters is the passion. Only you can get your brain out on paper, no machine will be able to understand that or keep consistency.

And even if you suck at first, artists redraw old poeces and redesign things all the time- heck, it's good to suck because you can always learn. And from my own experiences, even if you look back at an older art and think it's not up to your current standards, or isn't perfect, or you could have done something else, the experience making it sticks- and sometimes that imperfect super old art can still be some of your favorite pieces ever.

Hello! Do you mind sharing the edible cookie dough recipe you tried ? I've been trying to find it on IG but I trust you more than the 500 random videos I've seen.

yeah doesnt help that they implemented the new "ask meta ai!" shit instead of a proper search

this was the video that kept showing up in my feed in fb AND insta. I did see the original vid too but ignored it because fitness bullshit but I stumbled across enough of Liams videos to think hes pretty decent and transparent.

I did not follow that recipe because I hate almond flour and also peanut butter. I used oat flour instead and vanilla protein powder and nestle mini chocolate chips. I tried the m&ms and it was awful do not recommend tbh even if it WAS that our m&ms were Bad the acid in the yogurt melted the dye off the m&ms and made the mixture soooo gross looking (and if you can taste the dye like i can then its also a bad time!)

I also made a batch this morning without any sugar at all and found i dont need it so will be leaving it out in the future. Oh i had been using brown sugar which i think gave it more of that cookie dough flavor than maple syrup or honey would.

I don't pay too much attention to measurements, I go by consistency, but roughly I use

2 cups of old fashioned oats (i use bobs red mill gluten free oats)

2 scoops of vanilla milkshake protein powder (i honestly just grabbed the smallest container my grocer had, but recently bought the quest brand and will try that next time)

fage greek yogurt, plain, 5% fat (because fuller fat yogurt tastes better! fight me! I'm not doing this for ~healthy~ uwu im doing this for Please Get Protein In Your Body I Beg), this is where I eyeball it. I add more yogurt if it's too thick, a large spoonful at a time.

I put the oats and protein in a food processor, and then add the yogurt, but if you use preground alt flour you can jhst use a bowl. I recommend adding everything a little at a time into whatever is thickest (so if you use peanut butter, add yogurt to that, and then the flour and protein).

Also a friend tried this with regular flour and a non whey based protein and a non dairy yogurt and was. Non enthused. I'm sure if you play around with the flavors YOU like you can find something but I don't think this can be made dairy free tbh but I also tried every DF yogurt I could find and they were all disgusting. So. (also ifnyou use regular flour pls bake it first. but tbh i dont really recommend it bc raw wheat flour just. doesnt add the same flavor oat or nut flours do.)

I'm also curious about using chocolate protein powder and nutella I think that'd taste gr8. Outside if the absurd cost of protein powder, this really is a good base recipe to use if you wanna try messing around with recipes you find online. People may give me flack for drastically changing this recipe but pls I based it off my moms oatmeal cookies all it was missing was coconut flakes lol

#bookbird babbles #ezra gets a letter #food #SORRY I RAMBLED #ive for real eaten this nearly every day since i found it #i just make a large batch and eat a spoonful after dinner #sometimes for breakfast #its a great way to eat yogurt because it doesnt taste like yogurt! especially after its been sitting in the firdge overnight!!!! #and i realy do feel better eating yogurt in a way just taking probiotics doesnt do #i should look for different mini chocolate chips but nestle is always the cheapest and most palatable at the store :/

What are aspects about Drarry fics that are important to you? Like something you personally "need" to happen or an aspect of Harry and Draco personality that you consider vital, or something how Ron and Hermione react to the Drarry romance etc etc

Hi anon,

God, that's a good question. And a big one! But I'll try to keep it as brief/top level as I can, otherwise I might be here all day.

And a disclaimer: these are simply my preferences. I'm not saying these things are vital for Drarry to work, I'm saying they're what I, personally, prefer to read (and write).

Anyway, prepare for a fresh serving of word salad.

Gay Draco. This is a big one for me. I just can't see it any other way, so I find it really difficult to buy any other intepretation, so as a personal preference it does make reading less enjoyable for me when his (to me) blatant homosexuality isn't embraced/explored/acknowledged what have you. However! I do really love a good lavender marriage Drastoria. I explored that in Precious Metal.

As an extension of that, I find it hard to buy a Draco who is totally promiscuous and hedonistic post-war. It's not a trope I ignore though! I've seen it done really well (and haven't totally dodged writing it myself either!), but I do so love a repressed and/or sexually/romantically inexperienced Draco (and a hardworking Draco whose career post war is important to him) - it's a trope that makes me want to read something right away! I love it so much. Having said that, I really enjoy Draco having been in previous relationships with other men/boys before Drarry, too. Especially if it's like - a secret school relationship/hookup situation with another classmate who isn't Harry. Something for Harry to get in his head about and/or rile him up. Yum.

I love a slutty Harry. I think most people have probably guessed this.

Harry with a short temper. Draco with a petty mean streak.

A Draco who is real and will point out what's wrong with Harry but will often forget to address his own issues.

A Harry who is earnest and won't put up with Draco's cute I-will-be-passive-aggressive-with-you-until-you-do-what-I'm-thinking-because-I-expect-you-to-be-psychic attitude for too long.

A Draco who pushes Harry away. A Harry who pulls Draco closer.

A physically and magically competent Draco. A nerdy Draco.

Terrible communication, fics where one or both of them is gone on the other and they don't know how to express it, a really good and believable enemies to friends/allies that eventually develops into lovers, a fuckbuddies who fall in love story.

Harry and Draco who recognise each other's faults. Perhaps before they realise their own.

I love hurt/comfort and I'm a sucker for Harry doing the hurting and Draco doing the comforting... via tough love.

I can't read (or write) something that is purely nihilistic/whump. I need something underneath that to balance it out. Tenderness, vulnerability, and sensuality are absolutely key in my writing. It's important I include all three. So, by extension, I love when a fic I'm reading also incorporates these.

Humour! I need humour. But not humour for humour's sake: humour for a human touch, for levity, for getting out of a bad situation/conversation - such is life (and such is being British lmao). Love when a fic gets this balance right (@wrapped-up is a Wolfstar writer who nails this every time).

Oh god I haven't gotten to Ron and Hermione yet. Sorry! Maybe I can come back to that with a part 2 if anyone is interested in some more word salad.

Cheers!

in my head terusai are both such losers for eachother but in the deep recesses of my mind theyre so sweet and loving. enough toxic codependent yuri they are sweet communicative yuri. they actively make eachother better and more understanding people amd i think its sweet. in my head terusai is full of conflicting emotions but in the very end they always find a safe space with eachother, no matter hoe many doubts and issues they run into they understand that their love is unconditional and soft. they may not be the best at expressing their emotions but that's okay because they love eachother. they love eachother and honestly thats enough. theyre enough. they will always be enough. they could fail and mess up time and time again but in the others eyes they will always be a beacon of love. a beacon of life. they are like the bees and the flowers, both can be ugly and harmful but they love eachother. they dont discriminate between themselves nor do they judge eachothers flaws. they understand the need between them for support and love and readily provide it. albeit, theyre both emotionally closed off (in different ways) but they understand eachothers subtle nuances. no, kusuo cant freely remind kokomi that he loves her, but she knows what he means when he tidies her room for her. she knows what he means when he leaves her a serving of coffee jelly despite knowing she doesnt like it half as much as he does. and it works in reverse too, kokomi may not know how to express the utter depth of her affections but when kusuo sees her in the kitchen baking a cake he gets it. when she gets as close as possible without making physical contact he gets it. they love eachother in a way that is raw yet soft. they love within boundaries that others may not understand, yet not once does that cause their love to falter. not once.

#sorry i rambled #i think about terusai a lot #i think theyre much calmer with eachother #but i can also see the comedy side where theyre both closer to canon and are always getting silly and thats cute too imo #i just really like terusai (my dark secrets spilling out) #five thinks too much #saiki k #saiki no psi nan #kusuo saiki #saiki kusuo #disastrous life of saiki k #saiki #kusuo #saiki kusou no psi nan #the disastrous life of saiki k #saiki kusuo no ψ nan #saiki x teruhashi #the disaster of psi kusuo saiki #teruhashi kokomi #teruhashi #kokomi teruhashi #terusai #tays terusai tag

Hello, I love your DP sketches! Did you make your current sketchbook yourself, or did you buy it? What does it look like? (How many pages, the dimensions, etc?) Also, do you do any preliminary pencil sketches beforehand, or do you sketch completely in pen? I don't mean to bombard you with questions; I'm an artist myself looking to get back into sketchbooking and I'm totally impressed by yours.

Keep up the fantastic work! ✨

I make most of my sketchbooks! It's just easier than finding a new one I like every time lol. My current one as of answering this question is a planner from before I was born that was found in the garage, but the last... three? I think? Possibly (probably) more.

My sketchbooks are 6'x4.5' (roughly) and have 160 pages + end pages because my favourite paper for them is small dollar store spiral-bound sketchbooks by DaVinci.

They look like this:

I remove the spiral binding and slice the holes off the pages, then fold them into either eight signatures of five or ten signatures of four and stitch them together into a hardcover book that's of perfect size to fit into my pockets or a little purse I have :)

...Which is admittedly entirely a coincidence and, in fact, simply a pleasant bonus that comes with my paper choice lol.

I bind the book verrry standardly other than the fact I often use tape for the spine and use literally as little glue as possible during the process because man fuck having to glue 10 things when you can do 5.

I sew the end pages in as their own signatures, glue the spine, glue some paper to the spine to make it sturdier (able to be combined with step before but not recommended), and glue the cover of the book.

I do sketch completely in pen though! Sometimes I sketch in other things too but I have a horrible habit of not erasing unless absolutely necessary so it's just... more sensible to me to sketch in pen unless I'm doing a real fancy piece like a watercolour painting- therefore not in my sketchbook lol.

I think there's a total of... 2 pages in my current sketchbook that have drawings not in pen? and that's entirely because I didn't have a pen ++ I treated them exactly the same as doing with pen.

If I'm going to colour them I usually decide that afterwards! Then I don't care about the sketchiness of the pen showing, or if I do I take a picture of the drawing and go over it with proper lineart/resketch it digitally but I honestly really recommend pens. My favourite ones are from the dollar store lol

Heyy, I think I know who you're talking about, the person who is shit talking. I saw something they said about you and it really hit me the wrong way because it felt really school yard mean girl :( also a lot of the things she writes about is really concerning and she makes stuff up about idols that everyone thinks is real.

I'm not familiar with any of their posts I don't think, if we're talking about the same person that is.. but making stuff up about people isn't cool. writing fics is one thing but to say something as fact about a person you don't know is very strange behavior. I just hope they got what they wanted to feel out of what they're doing, I guess. I can only assume that maybe they're having a bad day and needed some sort of release, and I suppose taking your frustrations out on someone on the internet is the easiest route to take, especially if you don't show your face, y'know? but honestly, this place doesn't really exist to me out in the real world, it's just a place to have fun and babble my little words and make people's little ideas come to life. I'm not sure what I did to upset them and why they're making such odd claims about me when I'm almost positive I've never spoken to them, unless they've messaged me anonymously, but I hope things get better for them because they seem truly bothered. I've blocked multiple people tonight apparently involved in this and it's just kind of tiring to come to my silly little fun place only to be met with multiple forms of hatred for no apparent reason other than people not believing anything I say. which, whatever! that's fine! you do not have to believe anything I talk about. you don't have to believe me about my love life, you don't have to believe me about where I live, you don't have to believe me about my job, shit, you don't even have to believe I'm real. just like, idk.. shut up? maybe? stop letting yourself be so bothered by someone who wasn't even aware of your existence before tonight.
