#(i mean i have him but YKWIM)

[skunkes]

i have soooo much more i cld say abt him, and have explored more thru other doodles, but quick summary of talon's whole deal, which is subject to change still as he's only almost 2 yrs old as an oc

#oc text #obvs sparse description of the events bc i dont mean for it to be gratuitous #even if i decided to explore it further in some medium the focus wouldnt be gratuitous ykwim #not that there werent awful stuff within that but my focus with talon is also more exploration of like #even stuff that isnt a big deal (which it wasnt at first) can effect someone greatly #and then once it does get a bit worse the focus is still more on the effects of how he views himself and the aftermath #AS WELL AS LIKE. well. did i do this to myself? i went back. do i deserve this? #he's a lot like me and the reason i like the self insert dynamic is bc he thinks of cheye as Me If It Didnt All Go Horribly #bc ive not gone thru the Extreme but i have had interactions with ppl who very enthusiastically thought i was ummmm underage!!! #while they were already being creepy toward me and making me nervous abt my safety ! #so this isnt ''he's umm 400 but looks 12 bc i want to do weird shit with him 😏'' dude drawing him Fed makes me so sad sometimes... #we're also weird eating buddies <3 #and grief buddies <3 he actually further spawned out of my need to deal with a lot of family members passing away in such a short time #severe death phobia buddies... #i still dont know how he really feels about his Old Wrinkly Form btw all i know is he feels safe in it #as much as id love to sway toward ''he thinks he's hot like that. because he is.'' i also dont want to convey the wrong message wrt this #form being due to....disordered eating caused by Issues. ykwim #though! he can shapeshift quite well when he's fed and maybe he'd choose that form willingly if he ever got. Past everything #he does hate that he never gets to actually age...! he wishes he cld age normally like a mortal...(still scared of dying though) #but we cant knoww for certain yet ykwim. maybe he'll let me know soon. #my issue with talon other than i suck at plots is well he has too many of my issues. and. idk how to solve them. #he's growing with me. #oh and have we noticed he's mean to me when *im* being mean to me...MANY such metaphors #ok goodnite

i have this thing where if i love an actor, i try to squish the personalities and the stories of their different characters into one specific character so. any idea how i can make legolas a pirate.

#I MEAN #i did develop some thought in my head about it #like obv pirates exist in the lord of the rings universe #and i thought about legolas having problems with his father (bc him having daddy issues is canon fr) and just running away #and then getting involved with pirates because I SAID SO #and meanwhile aragorn is a prince of gondor and they somehow meet and fall in love #and then get married on a ship in the middle of the battle #basically the pirates of the caribbean but it's lord of the rings too ykwim #this is what happens when orlando bloom plays both my favourite sexy elf and my favourite sexy pirate #crys' middle earth stuff #lord of the rings #legolas #aralas

not even gonna tag this properly bc i don't wanna get Involved but i do have some Thoughts i need to get out into the void so here we go

(aaa quick edit: CW for mention/discussion of Boothill leaks)

#today's gone Badly and i'm upset but instead of venting abt it i'm gonna channel that energy into doing a bit of tag rambling abt Boothill #well. less abt Him and more abt uh. self-analyzing my anxiety surrounding contributing to fandoms. he's just today's catalyst #like. i know it's mostly a me thing. i'm hypersensitive to criticism and very conflict avoidant + socially anxious + perfectionistic etc. #so I'm the one that keeps myself from posting more stuff out of fear of being criticized or called-out for what i've made #bc inevitably Someone's gonna see it and think its OOC or a problematic take or they'll misread my intent. etc etc what have you #but like. that's inevitable. there's no way to communicate every single thing with all of the nuance required to avoid misunderstandings #and other times it's not a misunderstanding it's just a difference of opinions and that's Fine!! there's no accounting for personal taste #there's no accounting for several things actually. taste‚ bias‚ lore-knowledge‚ differing levels of chronic-online-ness‚ etc #so this isn't me complaining abt the state of fandom culture (although i do think. sometimes. ppl take shit a bit too seriously) #but anyways all of this is mostly just anxiety-fueled. it's not like i very often actually even receive negative feedback or anything #if anything ppl tend to tell me that i'm overthinking it and killing my own fun and worried that my stuff is more OOC than it is #which like. yeah. Yeah u right :) but that's just the way that i am! always losing the idgaf war i suppose #anyways what's Boothill got to do w this ur wondering. well. i've been thinking abt the quickly emerging concept that he's illiterate. #and it just. has me feeling a lot of ways. and watching ppl disagree over it has me feeling some Bad ways. bc it's def a loaded topic! #if you'll pardon the pun there. and i don't rlly have anything new to add other than that i'm conflicted abt it. #like yeah i saw the leaks days ago. of him mentioning 'not hitting the books' much as a child when we ask him why he sends voice messages #or voice Transcriptions ig. ykwim. and like. *braces for impact* ...i liked it? like. it doesn't feel right to call it endearing #i'm not trying to infantilize him. ok that's not the right word either but ugh. you know? what i mean?? who am i kidding even i don't know #it's not quite right to say that it feels like Representation either. but it's something close i guess #as a southern person myself who didn't receive a 'complete' education due to factors that weren't to do with my intelligence #the concept of seeing him as a capable force to be reckoned with and respected who also happens to have not received much formal education #i like that. i do. but there's so many issues w it at the same time. like. as i said‚ being southern myself has me Wary of the way Hoyo is- #writing him. as well as of the way that the fandom is taking the bits of his lore and running away w them. and i'm Very aware of how ppl- #will see a southern character and be All Too Eager to agree that they're lacking intelligence based on our Redneck™ stereotype #sigh. and before we even go too far with this. it's not even confirmed that hes completely illiterate. which is a valid criticism i've seen #there's Multiple reasons that could make him prefer voice to text. but regardless. i'm just worried that ppl will misconstrue my intentions #like. example: that edit i made the other day of him saying 'no thanks i can't read'. wasn't me playing into the stereotype of- #'haha dumb country boy can't read!' it was. in my eyes. something he'd say as a joke to make light of a potential insecurity #like. i think there's far more depth to Boothill's character if ppl could look past the surface. and i dont wanna contribute to the problem #but sometimes ppl Will have stereotypical traits and i wish the same could apply to characters as long as it's done Thoughtfully.

who has ever said that in the history of ever. what is cruel about wanting our own fucking exclusive space without able-bodied people in it. for someone with blah blah i drink abled tears or whatever the fuck on your profile, you sure do a lot of abled bootlicking.

#cpunk #cripple punk #cripplepunk #this is fucking ridiculous #fuckin ‘anyway you fucking insane people’ are you serious #who has ever swid anything like that #ever #in this community #wanting an exclusive phys disabled only space isnt fucking ableist . go and make your own punk space if you care so much about this. #idc #just because mental illness/disability has physical symptoms does NOT make it a physical problem. #my boyfriend can be bedridden by his depression that doesn’t mean he’s literally physically incapable of moving #in those moments its a mental block not an actual physical block. its still mental #even if it affects him physically its still mental #ykwim #same goes for mental disabilities as a whole #which may i add i have A Multitude of so dont come cruing at me about being an exclusionist #i have Literal Brain Damage do not fucking try me #but. YKWIM #phoenixonwheels

i still feel like the money from the egg figures is gonna go to the eggmins, including lumi and shade and anyone else that has left/been fired [maybe with the exception of like, flippa and tilín’s original admins since they were only there for less than a month but who knows]

like i agree that the way quackity is going about things sucks, with his mindset being that because he doesn’t want to make promises he can’t keep he won’t say anything at all, but i don’t think it means the eggmins won’t be paid. i’d assume, based on what he’s said, that he’s waiting to see how much money the merch makes before he promises anyone any amount of money. which again. is dumb, because if that is the case he could still just Say That. but i don’t think it’s a baseless assumption at the very least

#.txt #discourse #qadmin situation #sorry if this is worded weird i’m like half asleep rn #i’m still keeping optimistic #i know quackity has fucked up a lot and will probably still continue to do so for a bit #and it is very frustrating #but i can also see that he’s trying #i think he needs to shift his mindset a bit and work more on actually talking to people #even if it’s just telling them to hold tight while he works through things #honestly if things don’t improve within the next few weeks i’ll probably get a bit harsher #because like. c’mon man. i know this is gonna take months to sort out #that much is obvious #but if he can’t at least improve communication soon it’s like #there’s only so much benefit of the doubt i can give #but for now i’ll hold on to hope that he can fix things #idk i have a lot of thoughts on this situation that i don’t think i can get across correctly #i’m not letting quackity off the hook but i’m also willing to give him more time before i start saying he’s like #an awful person or whatever #i mean i don’t think he is regardless based on what i know of him but ykwim

[butterflieswhisper]

hhelp wait this is so funny. didnt you follow me forever ago after a scott themed october song analysis . sorry if you dont remember that and this ask doesnt make sense but this is still funny to me

hi!!!! yeah. it was the cherri crane lives art i think and also where you made your flower husbands tag! I have never really interacted with fh outside of you (and like, seeing pretty fanart) but i am nonetheless deeply invested in your interpretation specifically!!! I honestly haven't watched jimmy outside of rats and the beginning of empires2 either i genuinely have no clue what they get up to you just seem to have a lot of fun with it

#asks #<-omg i can make that a tag now #i also am a year behind on the life series. i think the most recent one i've seen is double #like from any pov. i am a year behind. however that goes for everything on youtube #my poor watch later playlist hit the 5000 video limit forever ago and so did the second one i made to replace it. i am on my third #but seriously i don't know what goes on in fh canon but i like their blue/yellow thing they have going on. idk if that's like? intentional? #but like scott blue and canary yellow are really pretty colors together #and they are also SO close to being complimentary colors and yet. they aren't. just a little bit off #they don't quite fit quite how they should. i made that up on the spot i mostly think yellow and blue are nice colors #i think my biggest exposure to scott before you was literally the deal with destiny song in empires1 #and i don't even think i acknowledged him as like a real guy ykwim. #like oh yeah. scott smajor. he's like. in that song lizzie made or something. he can sing alright i guess (plays it on loop)(plays it on lo #whisp whispers #seeing u post about Discourse(tm) is always really funny to me because i didn't realize for a while that u did not have like #the 'normal' interpretation? like i didn't realize you had a different view than other people #i was like oh yeah the relationship held in the death games is toxic. that makes sense yeah and is not surprising #and then suddenly there would be a post where you mention discourse and i went. Ohhhhh wait they're supposed to be HAPPY!!! #but i feel like this is infinitely more enjoyable i love Flawed Characters #and especially now after watching his rats. i get it. i get it i get it i see what you are saying #he doesn't interact much with jimmy hes mostly with owen and. i mean #'i've never heard someone apologize so much while putting the blame on the other person'???? i see exactly what you mean #r!scott accidentally hurting r!owen and then apologizing profusely while insisting it's because owen stood in his way. and then immediately #isolating himself in a room for like 20 minutes and refusing to interact with anyone feels like. idk #it reminds me of ur rambles and i understand them more now i think. kind of #to be clear by 'with' i mean like. in proximity of. those rats are AROMANTIC!!!!! (to me) #i'm so sorry these tags are a mess. but alas #i also think it's really funny to follow Flower Husbands guy and know nothing abt them. invested by proxy. whenever i hear abt scott giving #jimmy a flower i get excited not because like i know what's going on but because omg! that's like that thing bree talks about sometimes!! #i hope that like. any of this makes sense shdbfjk

[lesvegas]

the closest Actual OC i have to a courier oc is Valoire but hes not really a Courier OC, his story/timeline just happens to conveniently line up with the events of fnv to the point where i can play as him in fnv and not feel weird about it. its way more likely that he just happens to be an actual Courier OC's (Fresno) companion.

#ive been playing this game for 6 years and still dont have/make courier ocs that start out as courier ocs #i mean i do but they arent serious ocs. ykwim #if i made oc lists or whatever they wouldnt be on em #i can only have like 60 real ocs everything else is a joke. a bit. a tool. somethin like that #ok another example: callipho #he started out as a tes oc then became an oc i used in multiple things. im literally playing as him in dnd rn #and he was my first legion courier. but hes not a Courier OC. to me #he cant be contained to the courier role. hes more than that. to me

[starrysharks]

good night starryshooters and zenomorphs.... once again feel free to send any asks about literally anything. art stuff, personal projects, asks directed at ocs, hell maybe even a few art requests ???? pls i love answering them

#oh yeah let me take the opportunity here to mention that ultimate excalibur part 1 got a somewhat major rewrite #certain stuff has been completely changed and designs have slight updates (with nova and paro themselves getting the biggest changes) #both in terms of shapes proportions and minor outfit adjustments #the plot is imo way more cohesive now and has less strings #which i think is best for a series that has a moderately intricate lore like ultimate excalibur. start out simple ykwim #also the new changes mean that nova and paro did not make optico he just befriended them!!! and also his personality is slightly altered #in terms of his design im contemplating giving him floating hands a la rayman.... maybe just occasional floating hands for posing

in the last like 7 years there's been two reality tv guys i really liked i found them very entertaining i thought they were funny etc thought this for years. 2/2 have been accused of rape now i need to stop treating these people like they're characters they're being very genuine when they're awful

#one in 2021 one just a few days ago #i mean there's actually 3 that i liked and the third one was actually like bffs with one of them and very friendly with the other one so💀 #and it's like i KNOW they're probably not good people right it's like i know i would hate these men irl because i didn't really like them #but i liked their personas #but their personas are not actually personas especially not the misogyny aspect of it like that is just real life😭 #and it's never even really a surprise like yeah of course he would do that. so like that's kind of on me like yeah my bad for liking them #because they were unlikeable..... #like them being unlikeable was the appeal should have seen that coming #i'm not an avid reality tv watcher. the guy who was just accused of raping a woman i followed for years though because he was so awful he #was funny😕 i watched his snapchat stories every day and everything like it happened in australia in 2018 and i remember when he was there #i remember what he was filming there and everything (because i watched it like when it aired a few months later💀) #like i LIKED him #i know i just said i didn't like them but like i did ykwim...like i liked making fun of him and i liked hating him but i thought he was #endearing😕 #and i haven't followed that guy in a while because he stopped posting on snapchat since you know...who even posts on snapchat anymore. but #yeah no. i don't even know why i'm sharing this #i hope you won't think less of me for being a reality tv person. and i'm not i haven't watched anything since like...early 2019? #i watched reality tv from like 2012 to 2015. and then from 2017 to 2019. 2015-2017 isn't a big gap but it feels like it is it was very #different you kinda had to be there #and like i say: brf slt #tw rape #rape tw

[skunkes]

very simplified version of scenario i keep thinking about

#a doodley #before anyone misinterprets yes i know Knowing someone is trans doesnt mean you know the status of their parts #and also al is having the imp emoji thoughts while skunker is an anxious wreck over this not in an Inconsiderate way #but because he already knows it's not an issue to him! so he's on encouraging comforting words autopilot while brain flashes thru #what to do with this new info ykwim

[deerlisteners]

do u ever think abt how 3houses/hopes position dimitri’s relationships w his friends in relation to his relationship w the goddess & feel rlly rlly normal or is that just me

#head in hands………. #few3h #it’s about the thing he says to byleth ‘we lack the means to reach out and grasp it’ and then everybody continuously reaching out to him #again and again over and over forever #ESPECIALLY in the king awakens cutscene. felix & dedue reaching out & dedue being the one to physically take dimitri’s hand #it’s like yeah faerghus worships an absent goddess and you’re SUPPOSED to believe in her and trust her and be good for her etc #and dimitri just can’t do it until it’s for his friends #and the scene in the rain after gronder in houses too obv #obviously it’s more blatant too considering the byleth sothis situation but ykwim it’s not sothis doing the reaching out there #like #we can talk abt glory and honour etc all we want but is that a truer motivator than the ppl u love??? #for dimitri it isn’t bc he disagrees w all that honour anyway esp after duscur where he saw it fall apart w Glenn’s death (ingie support) #honour and glory are what get his friends killled for him but if he resolves to make the world a better place FOR them #that’s much easier to stomach #(and. the church being intertwined w the knighthood honour thing etc.) lol #idk if this makes sense im having SO MANY issues rendering a film in maya rn lol im slamming my head thru the wall #feposting #fe3h #deertalking #im being very brave not derailing my initial point to just talk abt dmlx here i hope u know that #i love him so much. mimi relationship w faith b like ‘true personal connection is inherently as impossible as seeing the goddess herself’ #(teacher proceeds to become the goddess 2 prove him wrong) #im gonna come back and talk abt this before bc its my fav dimitri topic my brain just isn’t working rn o7

Sohei 🤝 Kazama: Bad dads

who even IS a good dad in this series like who even is a dad that we can all look at and go 'now THATS a good dad right there'

#snap chats #this is a trick question of course. i ALWAYS mean arakawa is number one peepaw in my heart #but fr like date / the florist / yuta's bitchass dad...... #a good dad is hard to come by in this series...... and when we do he gets dumped in the fucking BAY GOD DAMMIT #see every time i want to call jo a good dad i hear my bestie come from the top rope with 'he put a baby in a locker' #CAUSE ITS AN AWKWARD MOMENT NOW INNIT. TERRIBLE start to fatherhood and being gone for five years is ALSO p rough #like its such a paradox because yes jo was there for near four decades for masato when he didnt have to #but he was also the reason why he had to be there for masato yk what i mean. also Thats His Kid #hes not a step dad he's the dad that came back with the milk ykwim #I THINK credit should be accredited when its due like at least he was ready to sacrifice the rest of his life to make up for his mistake #and its not like he thinks he'll ever be forgiven by. Whatever Entity decrees someone is forgiven or not #so its not like he'd even call himself a good dad ☠️☠️ #so yk what. im gonna put him in the Ironically A Solid Dad corner #at least until rgg gives me the househusband special where jo gotta babysit masato for a day... yeah id pay for that #most of these tags are about jo what the fuck else is new. he stimulates my brain leave me alone #i dont wanna talk about kiryu being a dad i already know there's a sniper light on the back of my head #my point is rgg is gooddadphobic

the quest for claudia's birthday takes me to strange and unknown places

#sriracha.txt #the original way i understood the timeline allowed for a much Slower building of events #there were originally 5 years after claudia's death + 7 years of agu living in hiding after cesare's death #but if she dies at 12 that means a whole 12 years has passed. so she'd be 24 in the modern day.. roughly wyll's age #it simply couldn't work.. wyll is Older. he's like the super cool cousin she orbited around at social gatherings until he disappeared #and then. well </3 #i don't know if the satie-gortie-augie hellabonanza trip will stick but i think the accelerated timeline Will #because now it's 3 years between claudia's death and the start of the game. which imo makes more sense.. the grief and longing agu would #feel for his departed daughter would be MUCH stronger in that time frame + thus make him easier to manipulate via the dream guardian #i never thought about it being a 12 year gap before but now that i do.. idk i think he would simply live w the grief and be immediately #suspicious of the emperor instead ykwim #this is fun as well bc WHAT effect does this have on the agu-ketheric beef... before it was him being pissed that ketheric wrought so much #suffering because he lost isobel. but now?? #unsure. HOWEVER it's funny that he gets ketheric's netherstone on account of ALSO being a father who does some Higher Being's bidding with #the promise of getting their daughter back. and it ends well for Neither of Them </3 #bg3 spoilers

Bayern want Mason 🙈🙈

they might be interested in him like they are interested in kai for years now, but probably not more than that

#i mean mason is such a good player #every club should have him on their list #but i don’t think it will happen #ykwim

[viderose]

he’s annoying, i don’t like him (he hasn’t given me as much attention lately)

#im fighting for my life out here #i feel so childish and annoying. like rationally ik i can’t have his undivided attention. but that doesn’t mean i don’t want it sometimes🥺 #i think what actually is happening is that im worrying he’s about to ghost #i feel bad thinking that though. bc he seems like a very honest and mature person? with how he talks abt things i don’t think he would rly #ghost me after talking for this amount of time. but ya never can tell…. every time we don’t talk as much for a few days i get very nervous #and it’s weirdly quite difficult to push that worry out of my head. and then i get annoyed with myself for worrying about it to begin with #like i can’t control what he does so why worry about his hypothetical actions? i’ll deal w the consequences of them if or when they occur. #if we stop talking i’ll feel sad and i’ll miss him for a bit and then i’ll get over it. that’s all. it’s not that bad. #but anyway my point is we good #sometimes idk if id truly feel That sad. i think it depends how it ends. #or maybe i just don’t think anyone can hurt my feelings as much as the first person to hurt my feelings in a specific way #like you experience a loss or betrayal or grief - whatever - the first time and it’s all encompassing. it feels like it could genuinely kill #you it hurts so bad. and every subsequent loss or betrayal or grief you experience just isn’t the same? you barely flinch #maybe it’s because you learn to process those emotions better or maybe it’s keeping things at arm’s length as a protective measure #that means nothing hurts as much as the first thing #idk #this became a silly ramble #im just very attached to him and i miss him when he’s busy but also don’t want to ask too much for fear of being a nuisance or rejected :) #ykwim? #i miss him a lot

[kindahoping4forever]

I completely agree a lot of the virgin fics around can come across weird, I’d love to see your take on it!! I love your writing so much 🥹

Thank you for the vote of confidence! Again, I want to stress I'm not dragging the trope itself or any particular fics, I just think there's a lot of unexplored territory within that space. I feel like I see a lot of virgin characters portrayed as virginal - blushing, uninformed and corruptible. I don't find that realistic, I think there can and should be a distinction between inexperience and purity and that could make for an interesting story. Virgin characters can be knowledgeable about sex, be horny, be confident in their sexuality. To me, "can we try this" is just as interesting -and hot- as "let me teach you" ("teach me" fic is great, don't get me wrong! But there's so much more that can be done!)

I think my thesis here is that my virgin character would be just as slutty as my other characters lmao. Virginity can be a plot point without necessarily being their main character trait.

#it also doesn't really have to be a super romantic story #just bc he's your first one doesn't mean he's The One ykwim? #idk I'd just like to see a virgin character with a ton of agency and not a lot of naivete #the excitement of exploration should be bc she's having sex with HIM not just bc she's having sex #and like i said - no shade to any virgin fics that use the tropes/traits I'm contrasting #i think a lot of it also comes down to the fact that -I assume- those types of stories largely are appealing to or written by younger fans #which is great! there's space here for everyone to tell and find their stories! #but as I get older - and more importantly the band gets older #i find the innocence trope less and less appealing #also that was just never my experience lmao? #I'm a millennial - for better or worse media and the internet taught me things long before I needed to know them ykwim #well this was a tangent #anyways #I'd love to write that someday #not soon but someday #ask #anon #kh4f writing #virginity tw #just in case? #idk just in case someone doesn't have my fic ask tag blocked
