bro when i feel like utter shit there's always one of two outcomes. either i get nothing done at all, or i write up a storm / draw for 12-24 hours without breaks.

Formaldehyde, better known as Serial Designation: N or simply just "Hyde."
The original concept for him was based on a popular artist's personality swap AU in which N and V's personalities were flipped ( making N the mean and paranoid one ). Throughout the months I spent on discord, he has expanded from this so there's actually a lot of unique and canon divergent traits to him outside of just that.
Hyde stands at 6'6" ( 198.12 cm ) tall and is broadly built, giving the appearance of a muscular person with a broad chest and shoulders. He'd be considered a barbarian or bruiser class fighter, with a lot of his fighting tactics relying on brute strength and heavy hitting rather than the expected agility and versatility of other models. This doesn't make him any less equipped for aerial or ranged combat however, and he will backtrack to it if he has to.
Him and Uzi come from a timeline where Copper Nine was entirely wiped of life but was not swallowed by the Solver. Uzi was left unconscious from the over-exertion of her abilities and Hyde spent many months caring for her instead of himself ( steadily starving in the process ).
He and Uzi were found ( and essentially rescued ) by Leah, who took the two of them in. When he first arrived, he was nonverbal and volatile in the same way a wild animal in rehabilitation would be while attempting to acclimate to a new area. He has since acclimated to the situation and even considers the Countdown Studio his primary home.
Leah removed any and all failsafes or restrictive codes that he was programmed with, meaning he does NOT follow the laws of robotics. This drone can and will consume humans ( as he has canonically done as of Episode 7 ), seeing them as an ample substitute for oil when necessary. Hyde actively pursues humans to kill and eat when there are not drones around to get oil from.
Because of who he lives and works with, Hyde has picked up quite a few quirks and a showman personality front that he tends to slide to as a default when engaging with people he is unfamiliar with. This playful attitude is often paired with malicious jabs into someone else if he decides that they'd be much more entertaining to him as a plaything than a companion ( which is typically his default before he finds they might be more worthwhile as an ally than an enemy ).
If he loves you, you have gained the ultimate scary dog privilege; Hyde is a 'kill on sight' attitude when it comes to specific people or his loved ones not liking someone. Point someone out that you genuinely want dead ? No worries, babe, he's on it. Do you want a piece ? He'll share if you do.
tl ; dr : he’s asexual but not sex repulsed , does find aesthetic attraction in other people , and only consents to sexual relationships with those he has a strong romantic attachment to ( good personality and strong intellect generally required ! )
i’m not usually one to make super long-winded meta posts about things , but being that this is something pretty important to me ( and also something i’ve noticed i’ve gotten a lot of questions about ) , i thought i’d give a go at discussing aemond && asexuality .
please note that some of the info i am about to dump on this topic is based solely off of my own experience , and the research i have done to discover my own identity. it is NOT meant to generalize the experiences of those on the ace spectrum ; it is simply meant to explain how this identity pertains to aemond , and how he experiences the world. :)
first and foremost : yes , aemond does have libido . he can and does become aroused , and does experience and enjoy physical pleasure. that is to say , he is not sex repulsed – meaning that he is not adverse to engaging in sexual activity , and as many of you know , can be rather enthusiastic about hitting the bedroom with his romantic partners. sometimes asexuality can be conflated with never having or wanting sex ( which CAN BE true in some a-spec identifying folks ! ) , but in aemond’s experience , this is not the case. it can be said , however , that his sex drive is low compared to others around his age.
with that in mind , let’s dive a little deeper : does aemond find others attractive ? the short answer : yes. the long answer : yes , but only to an extent. there are a series of traits that can be found in both men and women that aemond finds aesthetically pleasing , in the way that someone might find a certain painting style appealing , or might feel certain flowers are more beautiful than others. there is no sexual desire attached to this kind of attraction . so , for instance , aemond may look at alys rivers and think the dress she’s wearing is gorgeous on her , or that her eyes are the most beautiful he’s ever seen ; however , the fact that he’s found physical attributes about her which he is drawn to does not indicate any desire to have sex with her. let’s go back to the flower analogy : you might think a rose that you stumbled upon in a botanical garden is the most awe-inspiring thing you’ve ever seen , but you don’t want to fuck it. aemond is like that , but with people , too.
it is here that i will briefly note : personality and intellect are far more attractive to aemond than any physical attribute will ever be , especially when considering a potential partner !
so under what circumstances does aemond get it on ? a great question ! if you are familiar with the term ‘ demisexual ’ , that would be a pretty good way to think of it ( though i would characterize aemond as being so far on the extreme end of disinterested in sex , asexual is the more apt identifier in my opinion ) ! in plain terms : aemond will enthusiastically consent to sexual relations with those he has formed a deep ( romantic ) connection to . for the one-eyed prince , LOVE AND SEX are deeply and inherently connected ; all that to say , he could have love without sex , but he could not have sex without love . i would attribute some of this to the values and belief systems he was raised with , but i will also say that , considering the world which he lives in , aemond has an overall pretty progressive view on sex. if a man can have women outside of marriage without repercussion , why then should it be any different for a woman ? while he might have no interest in any of this himself , he does not externalize his views and experiences on others by any means.
and finally , i want to address this : in your headcanon , did aemond lose his virginity at the age of 13 as is implied by the show ? i think you can guess my answer , and it is NO . yes , aegon did take aemond to the brothel on his thirteenth name day , and yes , aemond did go to a room with one of the working girls that night. he won’t lie to you , he was curious at first , and the girl which was selected for him by his brother was indeed very pretty , but when she dropped her robe , straddled his lap , and asked the sweet little prince what he wanted , aemond promptly responded , ❛ 𝐈 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐒 , 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐌𝐘 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 . ❜ the girl was duly compensated for her time ( which she mostly spent bored out of her mind as aemond recounted his current studies to her ) , and to this day aegon still doesn’t know the truth about that night.
so yeah , that’s it , that’s the post. if you’ve made it this far , thank you for reading ! as i said before , this is very personal to me ; asexual characters are not easy to find in general , but especially in a series rife ( and often gratuitous ) with sex. i think this is part of what attached me to aemond so quickly , and i’m so glad that all of the lovely people that i’ve spoken to so far have embraced this aspect of him and have been so willing to learn and work with me to develop some amazing plots && dynamics ! so thanks again , and outside of an ic response , i swear you’ll never hear me talk about anything this much ever again !
this is just your friendly reminder that the star plasma vessel incident took place in 2006 && that ouran high school host club was animated/airing in 2006 which means gojo && geto probably know all the words to the opening theme
I wasn't going to get on my laptop today and I wasn't really on yesterday, even on mobile, because I had an interview and I didn't sleep well do I didn't have the energy to be much of anywhere tbh. But I feel like it's important to address something that was brought to my attention.
Generally I don't make posts or involve myself in drama so this is going to be a rare post because this is a serious topic that I unfortunately find myself needing to address.
It has been brought to my attention that one of the people I've interacted with has been blatantly plagiarizing other members of the rp community's posts. I would first like to make it known that had I know this person was blatantly copying other peoples rp posts and passing them off as their own I would have never interacted with them. It's abhorrent that it happened in the first place.
Second I want it known that all of the posts from my muses are ones that I have written. Canon dialogue belongs to canon and is not mine but my character's posts are my own, written by me. I'm rarely on my laptop and when I am on tumblr, whether it's mobile or on my laptop, I'm lurking in my drafts or ims to get caught up or just generally lurking.
Third I have blocked the offending blogs and I will be going through and deleting anything that I have rebelogged from them, whether it's memes or rp threads.
Finally, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to all of everyone who is effected by this situation. I feel betrayed by this situation and I'm not, as far as I know, who had their posts stolen by these blogs. I feel extremely disappointed not only in the offending blogs but in my self for not realizing something was going on sooner.
I offer my sincerest and deepest apologies to @barrelcrow and @melnchly along with anyone else that had their posts plagiarized. I didn't know this was going on.
i'm trying to sit down and finally read ruin & rising for real and my only thoughts so far are: this... sure is a book that exists, pages & words & everything
I like to think if Alastor ever cried for any reason, he wouldn't make a noise. They'd be fully unnatural tears that just pour out without any actual sobs. Something so very unfamiliar that he has to touch his face and stare for a long while, trying to come to grasp with the idea that he can cry in the first place. Crying for any reason is something that takes a mental toll, and Alastor who is sensitive to powerful emotions would be far more crippled by this.
tumblr giving us the ability to turn off reblogs for individual posts and set replies to mutuals only truly is the best thing they've ever done because now I can put my insane bullshit and ramblings on the dash without having to worry about personals finding it and running away with the posts
i hope...when i move caroline after chrismas to a new blog simply to adjust to that damn beta editor, that i won't have to log onto fuckery every day and want to bang my head against a wall. because this week....people have been on some next level bs.
