my favourite daniel ricciardo fact switches between his nut allergy and his fear of dogs. just hard to believe that man could be taken down by a walnut or roscoe hamilton.

#he’s so vulnerable. able to be struck down at any moment. #also when i found out hayfever is often worse if you have a particular nut allergy i was connecting so many dots #to when he was absolutely murdered by hayfever at silverstone #i never post anything but gifs on here because i usually harass my friends w thoughts like these #but i think i’ll be hunted for sport if i send one more text ab daniel ricciardos nut allergy #*

why does “God” talk to zane. im scared

#ALSO WHY IS THE GOD VOICE SO MURDEROUS. DUDE CHILL. #trying to connect all the dots in this book and how they line up with the original events with the well of ascension but it’s not going well #some other thoughts i’ve been having while reading? elend needs to MOVE ON! from his kelsier obsession oh my god #it is obvious to me that if anyone in this situation is supposed to fill kelsier’s shoes it’s obviously vin #and also we’re not spending enough time with the crew. i miss them. #we are also not nearly dedicated enough to uncovering this spy like oh my god……..GET YOUR ACTS TOGETHER VINELENDORESEUR #and too many action / fighting scenes. sorry to brandon because im sure they’re fun to write and ofc i love my girl vin #but i can barely follow normal fight scenes let alone whatever the hell it is these mistborn have going on #mine #mistborn #juli reads the cosmere

The more content we get, the more I realize that Ayato is the main character in Diabolik Lovers. Everything feels like it connects to his background, from Cordelia being his mom and being the only triplet that met her in Dark Fate, to being related to the Founders and being the one who ate the fig from Rottigenbelk. He’s also the only son of Karlheinz who succeed to control time and that’s like what his father is known for! I remember reading that Cordelia signalled that Ayato was different from the others but that makes so much sense now, like his character has such an incredible world building??

// I mean, Rejet confirmed him as the main hero several times, so it makes sense. xD

Ayato, as a character, isn’t as interesting as the others and that’s because 1) he got more canon material than all other Diaboys therefore we already know much about him and 2) he’s a transparent person, with little to no poker face, so he's mostly just like an open book. Even though he has his own struggles, he is not overly complex, but his entire being remains a mystery.

Yes, we are aware of his past, but it goes beyond that. As you mentioned, as sad as it sounds, I'm afraid Karlheinz and Ayato have a very strong connection. Young Blood was Adam’s origins story and it was shown how Karlheinz literally rewinded time and made them go through that ceremony again just to make Ayato Adam. In the second chapter, you can clearly see how he definitely desired Ayato to become Adam, which is when this started getting suspicious.

Perhaps one day we'll discover what truly distinguishes Ayato from the rest, as well as the source of Karl's bias towards him.

thinking about the radiance at 4am what if her physical deity form (if she had any) was located somewhere around the top of crystal peak here.

(credit to hallownest.net)

like. why is her statue so deteriorated and cracked up specifically on the cliff side as if some sort of fight happened there. wtf.

#hollow knight #radiance hk #i have so many thoughts about crystal peak btw but im too tired to make the dots connect in a way that makes sense.... #i'll come back to that sometime in the futuree probably if i dont see anyone else having done it #because i find really odd how Hallownest (pale king's) bugs specifically were so obsessed with harvesting those crystals #specially considering how theyre very much implied to be related to the radiance in some way. but i might be misremembering this part

thinking about hamilton and burr together but not in a kissing way but in a you are so different on surface but are made of the same core way. they have the same sort of wants and hurt but they project it in such different ways.

#two people put together like that would either love each other with their entire hearts or would kill each other. #maybe both #alex and henry from rwrb are kind of examples from this. #look cmq made alex too similar to hamilton and henry too similar to burr for me to not connect the dots. #but while their character traits put them lethally against each other in the play in the book its.. different. #i can talk about alex more since both in the book and play we see alexander more (both such fucking main characters) #i think alex from rwrb had a comparatively better foundation in childhood than hamilton. he's less scrappy than hamilton #he still does things like be lonely and drown himself in his work etc etc you all saw the parallels #but but but he sort of has room for love in his heart in a way hamilton doesnt. maybe he did with laurens because its said that he #never really opened up the same after he died. makes me think that was pretty serious. but its not in the play so im not going too much #into it. alex isn't as suspicious and survivalistic as hamilton. if hamilton saw henry he would've never put him before his work #but alex does. from his side i think that's what makes the difference. #like how he says to henry in the fight scene that they're not really very different people?? remember that #there's waaay too many coincidences i am ready to believe cmq wrote rwrb as a very very sneaky adaptation of hamiltons life #the slightest hint from them and i would believe it. this is a conspiracy theory i can get behind #rwrb #red white and royal blue #hamilton #hmm i been having thoughts about this for the past 2 hours #maybe this stem thing was a mistake maybe i should've taken literature. i like what i do though

((OOC))

Sorry I keep updating at like. midnight. I honestly dont have an excuse besides i go to work and i get home and i'm tired fghsdajk

Gonna take me a little while to get into the swing of this. I've never done an askblog like this before (though I have hosted... technically 3 in the past? (EDIT: no, 4 actually.) But never like this, and none of them went anywhere), so trying to get into the swing of it has been weird.

Glad people seem to be enjoying it, though! I had no idea it'd take off like this, aha. Hopefully I can get a bit more consistent and stop uploading at 2 AM, lol.

That said, I don't know what my schedule's gonna be (if I even start one). So if there's a couple days where I don't upload, it's not because I abandoned the AU or anything, it's probably just because I'm busy IRL.

Feel free to keep sending in asks even if I'm not online! I've already got a lot of really good ones sitting there that I'm gonna hold onto for a bit (for. reasons).

This has been really fun so far, and I hope everyone's having fun, too! Just bear with me while I figure this out. I'm hoping to get out a ref of [ERROR] soon, and also stop calling him that soon, but getting into character is proving to be a challenge when you do it on and off like this. But that's never stopped me before and it won't now. Like I said, this has been fun so far!

That said, if anyone has any suggestions on a meta level, I'm all ears. I realize now that I've run into this basically blind, so even though I did a couple week's worth of preparation in advance for this blog, I'm also still floundering a bit. Learning more every day, though! And I'm hoping I can pick up the pace soon as well. After Day 1's rapidfire replies, going at a more leisurely pace feels really slow, and I both wanna fix that but also don't know how because, like I said, I keep uploading at midnight gfdshjk

TL;DR I'm working on it dw lol

#dimond speaks #ooc #i have many plans for this au and i've realized that figuring out how to connect the dots to get us there is the hard part #i'm used to writing fanfic where i as a writer would be able to brainstorm a way to connect those pieces #but since i've decided to host this as an askblog instead a part of that control has been taken away from me #it's like im DMing D&D instead of what i'm used to #which i don't mind- like i said i'm having fun- it's just a huge change from the norm on my end #and i don't wanna make the story twist unnaturally in a different direction because i want one thing and the askers want another #but on the other hand to there is a story here i want to tell #so finding the balance is gonna be hard #but i think it'll also be really fun #at best i'll write a story i'm proud of and people can be along for the ride and we'll all have a good time #and at worst? Day 1 was fucking awesome and one of my favorite memories of being in this fandom #so even if this thing crashes and burns i'll always have that to hold on to #so basically just thank you for reading. both my lil blurb here and the au in general #like seriously i cannot thank you enough for wanting to see where this goes #and something i'm super proud of so far is that everyone's brought their thinking caps too! #i have at least 6 asks sitting in here that i'm saving for later #which is literally half the inbox! #i do wanna state here (in the tags shhh) that i have some massive plans for this au #so the fact that everyone's thinking critically about it has made me really giddy #so proud of this classroom everyone gets A+s for the day /lh #OH ALSO Day 1 here just means the first day the AU was live. this au will be counted in in-story days so i wanna state that now #uhh i dont know how to end this. just... thank you so much for reading. #ily guys i can't wait to keep going and more frequently once i find my footing

Went to Target during a trip to the next state over with Mom so we could have a fun day out, and I found DC Comics Manga, and this Joker one is so tempting to grab an ebook of

This sounds like a typical fanfiction plot idea and I'm all for it

Also, found some cute Lego polybags, which is a nice bit to add to my Lego collection I'm rebuilding, as I'm mostly grabbing small bags and bricks from thrifting

A cute farmer with a scarecrow and a bunny, and a "birthday train" micro build.

Also, I decided to finally try a minifigure blind box, since my Lego are gonna need some people for them, and golly, they've changed since I was a kid

I got an Olympic runner guy with running blades prosthetics and a Harpy with articulated wings! I found out that they're making minifigs now that includes some wild fantasy elements and disability representation. I really want to find the dog groomer one with the Afghan hound and has a cochlear implant, the dog is cute and since hard-of-hearing runs in my family, that has a bit of a personal sentimental concept there...

Anyway, my Valentine's day was pretty cool. Nothing but good luck, people were very polite and friendly, and absolutely nothing went wrong this year. 🥹

#We also went to a Mongolian buffet and it was great #And I found an epic Lego Dots set marked down to an irresistible and reasonable price #They have these wonderful color tiles that are like a neon 90s aesthetic and the tiles will smooth out the builds nicely #I got some second hand bricks and tiles and have been testing out ideas that includes tactical fidgeting functions #I haven't built with Legos since 2011 so this will be a great time #I used to have a massive box of pieces my brothers gave me over the years but they had to be donated because they couldn't fit in the van #I'm gonna just keep everything in a bucket now #To save space #But I mostly want bricks and tiles and snot bricks and technics #Snot bricks just means studs not on top like an acronym #It's the funny bricks with connections on the sides #I've been watching so many cool lego deep dive videos and the new techniques and possibilities I've seen makes me want to try new ideas #I've always been a builder at heart I just love making stuff and I miss my old lego because I used to build visuals for my art as a kid #Lego ain't just for kids anymore and I love it #I'm obsessed with the Dots right now too #So cute

i think im getting better at living in the moment

#maybe it's because i don't instantly have to think about future #but also like from past experiences #i feel truly present at something while connecting dots from past things learnt without plucking up a triggering memory #and when i feel i need to do something for whats approaching i can strategize out quickly and get on to. it #without overthinking about it or making too many theories #logical rational practical were so foreign terms for me #but i recently got a wow youre still able to think this logically from a friend who's supposed to be the most rational person around me #doesn't mean i don't start getting overwhelmed like always the emotions start to put their claws #and teeth on my skin #but ime learning to move past them before they sink in deeper #so. i get a bit of the male population experience that when they're not thinking their head is really that empty #its so calming?? #this is my favorite part of me that happened this year #out of all the growth stuff i felt #im proud of myself okay #tho i do know its mainly because the workload is less without any pressure #but if i can familiarize with this concept ill be alright when it gets tough #at least i hope so

been struggling to draw lately so I put Joey and Tati (and her twin brother) in the sims. It's funny that Tati got a crush on Joey even in the game.

lemme know if y'all wanna see more cause.... I gots more teehee

#I have remade Joey and Tati's sims so many times but I never had to remake Kaipo's sim he's been perfect #Also what's funny is that this is a big circle because I made these ocs first in the sims based off my spop holoholo au #not art #sims 4 things #Connect The Dots Dummy

people tend to compliment me when they’re apologising to me and like i appreciate their apologies and it’s sweet of them to compliment me, but it’s also just like, i don’t want to be the bigger person here. i don’t want to be like yeah great i have this skill and you don’t and because you don’t you’ve hurt me but awesome! i’ve got it! like idk i’m just feeling very petty and sad and full of Emotion and i’ll get over it but idk. i have this real desire to be so cruel and i won’t act on it but idk it’s this horrible part of me that wants to be like well fuck it EYE want to be the one fucking up and hurting people and making things complicated !!!!!!! and that’s not ok!

#this is not to say i’ve never fucked up or hurt people because i definitely have and i deeply deeply wish that i hadnt #and i’m obviously not going to go out and start being rly cruel to people and honestly people are very rarely cruel to me #these things that i’m talking about have never been to deliberately hurt me #so it’s not like it’s a big deal. #i’m just angry & sad. and have had a weird week. and my room is a mess. and i need to shower. #and this is all so silly because nothing’s rly a big deal like GENUINELY if i was in a better frame of mind it wouldnt matter #but i’m not and so it does ! and i’ve been connecting so many dots lately which is just not rly all that pleasant i cant lie #anyway. i live a very good life and i need to remember that

we don’t even get to see mikky in this route but we do know he’s out there kicking the empire’s ass and giving them a whole lotta shit and im rly quite proud in fact

but also DIMITRI GONNA SEND WORD TO HIM THAT SYLVAIN IS THE NEW MARGRAVE like FOR REAL WHAT WILL MIKKY SAY WE WERE ROBBED OF A CUTSCENE FOR THAT

#Three Hopes #Three Hopes Spoilers #Sylvain #Miklan #I actually am surprised lots of people who played this route before AG didn't catch on to this #some ppl I've been around like on Discord were unaware that Miklan is in the game at all #so it actually surprises me that nobody noticed the implications just from that first scene #because it's not only clear he's alive but the implication is that he's at the western front and Dimitri is going to contact him #that would mean he's fighting for Faerghus in this war and I'm curious how/why people missed it #also curious if anyone follows me here who didn't notice! #I know it's not as direct as showing him in the route but I'm like legit surprised so many ppl seem to have missed what this means #especially bc Sylvain says ''will say'' and not ''would say'' which implies he's alive and also that Sylvain is aware of his whereabouts #but the second line from Dimi makes it totally clear that he's around and yet I think it kinda like #went over people's heads somehow so I'm legit curious if/how people thought nothing of what was meant there #since I played AG first it was more like surprise that he's even mentioned in this route but a little like yay a tiny win u kno??? #but no shock or anything bc I knew his role already in this game and it just makes sense to connect the dots in another route #I think I would've been exploding head emoji if I played this route before AG and saw this lmao #like. what??? he's alive? fighting for faerghus? they're going to tell him about sylvain's position? what WILL he say??? WHAT??? #but here I'm like... yeah we been knowin all that now where's muh cutscene of his thoughts #gotta remember to stick this in my post for his lore ref tho

[absolutely-not-my-main-blog]

What’s really fascinating to me is the main characters in Always Sunny are all objectively terrible people, at times quite possibly some of the worst™️ human beings you could ever meet, their schemes almost never work out and they usually get what’s coming to them (and usually deserve it), but that’s not all they are, and in spite of it all, after everything... I still care about them, truly and genuinely; in the end, I still... want them to be happy in some form just once. They do bad things but... good and bad people don’t exist, people are people are people.

And that’s such a testament to how they’re written I don’t even know how to describe it.

#iasip #it’s always sunny in philadelphia #dennis reynolds #mac mcdonald #charlie kelly #dee reynolds #jury’s still out on Frank jk jk but you know #I’m still a fan of seeing like Dennis be an absolutely pathetic sopping wet cat of a man at times #but I really like when they show growth or get a moment to shine #but the nature of the show often means it won’t last #but it will give us the glimpse and hope that it will and yet knowledge it probably won’t #because this is a fun show but it’s not a happy show... its title dripping in irony #I’ve been looking like that I’ve connected the two dots you didn’t connect sh*t image comparing it to literal Shakespeare lately #because many of his tragedies start out as comedies #and many of his protagonists doomed by the narrative #they could’ve went so many other ways and yet they never could have gone any other #I will 100% unironically argue iasip is a modern tragicomedy and you can’t have the one train of thought without the other #do we not weep for Macbeth #I will never forgive rcg for making me lose my mind so much or maybe I should thank them for expanding my mind leave me be #anmmbposts

It's the way that in every mv him with the scar got killed by him without it but not this time... This time his past self was running to try and save his future self

#does this makes any sense? idk ever since i've seen it my brain hasn't been able to form a coherent thought and write it down exactly #as it is #maybe that's how it's supposed to be because it's this personal.. #so i kinda don't even want to try overthink it nor try to connect the dots #i'm just letting it be because even like that it's something i never would've expected #for a song personal as this to get a mv #and the said mv being so personal too #he just never fails to amaze me and that sounds so cliche i know because so many people say it about so many other people but it's true #he's been through way too much and he really gets it #all the pain struggles destructive thoughts and loneliness #and he takes all of those negative emotions to turn them around into comfort for the others #in telling you that you are not alone #and as long as he's around you never will be #ugh i feel like i could talk about him and this song and its music video for hours but like i said i'm not really able to express myself #that well right now so i'll probably just go on and on in circles and ramble #idk i'll probably delete this later anyway #i just felt like saying this now #agust d #amygdala

listening to if you say so putting together the came down like a house of cards line at the beginning and then the chorus being time to build your house of stone. cards and then stone fragile and then strong. the ending ALSO being came down like a house of cards. and then relating all of this to [REDACTED] like

#the redacted is diabolik. its diabolik #because house of stone is my diabolik n fencing fic and i have been having MANY thoughts lately #about the previous question of who taught him to read. and like. #it's a house of cards for one of you. carefully constructed. fragile. one move and you could bring it crashing down #it's a house of stone for the other. strong and ancient and impenetrable. you are not getting out. ive connected the two dots #time to build your house of stone it won't leave you alone! infected to the bone! #love you if you say so love being Fine and normal #neon has thoughts #neon talks music

"Six" sentence Sunday! This fic started with the simple idea that I want to write pining Eddie but now there's nothing simple about it anymore 😅 we're at 8,000 words and there's no end in sight (on the bright side, it has kept me focused on the same project instead of jumping around). Also, this bit from three weeks ago is from the same fic!

#six sentence sunday #buddie #my writing #it was hard to decide what to share #because there are so many moments that i love #but that don't have the same impact out of context #anyways #half the time i feel like i've connected some dots and the other half i feel like people will disagree with half of the fic #oh well #write for yourself and so on
