Orion do you have tips on how to write Venti 🙏 I'd be ever so grateful to learn

[Warning: Profanity ahead...and a really long read] Hii, you're in for a long ramble LOL

So, first things first, I'm probably not the best Venti writer out there. No, not even probably, I'm not. I try to write as closely as possible to canon however I know that's difficult as my own headcanons and perception of Venti will show themselves in my writing. And I genuinely think that there are absolutely better Venti writer's out there to ask.

(you can skip to around "Honestly this is..." to skip a whole lot of my rambling because genuinely instead of giving tips I just rambled. No matter how I try to think of it, you'll end up with the entire ramble no matter what :skull:)

Venti is a complex character, like genuinely a very complex character. People like dumbing him down to this silly little guy that's a drunkard and I get real annoyed when that's all people see him as. Venti is much more than the "carefree persona" he puts on. There's so much depth to his character.

Another thing to take note of, when I write for Venti, I'm usually writing him for comfort as he's a comfort character of mine. Most of my works are more focused on the reader than Venti, but the very few times I've written solely for Venti, I wrote angst with him. And there I honestly just went into the zone so how I write him is beyond me.

If I'd have to give tips on how to write him, it would be to make him more than just some silly little guy that's there for comedic relief. If you think about it Venti is the most mysterious archon we've met so far. He speaks in riddles when he knows he can't give an outright answer because that defeats the whole point of figuring it all out on your own.

He's a mischievous character. From hiding the broken Holy Lyre of der Himmel that he immediately made a break for after saying his little trick won't last forever to forging Morax's signature back when the aristocracy rules Mondstadt in order to help free Mondstadt once more. Another thing people tend to forget in the fandom is that Venti is actually really intelligent, which again isn't recognized under his "he's just a silly little guy" thing the fandom has going on for him.

Okay, I'm getting off track, this is more turning into me ranting about the fandom and being way to passionate about him :skull:

How I try to write him is to show depth to his character. I learn something new about his character every day. Like genuinely. If it wasn't for the venti nation over on twitter who are just as passionate about him as I am, I wouldn't have known half the shit I do now.

I think reading his character story and the Mondstadt lore (like the skyward weapons lore) really helped me find some depth into his character as not only the infamous bard of Mondstadt but also the god of Freedom and Hope. Maybe looking at the actual demon Barbatos would give some ideas on him as well.

Writing him is honestly a hassle, because you need to know when he'd make a riddle or a rhyme off the top of his head and when he'd talk to you like a normal person. Even in his voicelines, as far as I can remember, he doesn't rhyme often. Which made me realize that Kazuha really does talk by spitting out flowers from his mouth because I swear it's easier to write for Venti than for Kazuha who speaks in flowers :sob:

Another thing that helped me understand him a little better is simply looking up his fandom wiki page and seeing how they describe him. The first time I saw what stood there, I was like, "oh...that actually makes sense." (in reference to him hiding a lonely soul specifcally.)

When I do write him, I try to still keep his characteristic traits like being mischievous, carefree, wise, and lonely. Like I can absolutely imagine him stealing some apples from Dawn Winery and to be cheeky, he'd even sit atop the winery eating at the apples. But I keep in mind how he'd sometimes just sit alone and think. Like in his story quest, where at the end he sits on the hands of the Barbatos statue after telling us the story of the nameless bard and how he became the god of freedom. How he grieves for a friend/the friends he had lost. You can't tell me that by the end of his story quest you didn't feel the loneliness that basically oozes off of him.

I try to creep in that old timer feeling too because let's be real, he's a god, he's over thousands of years old, he has experience, ya get me? He'd have that hint of old soul vibes. And also let's not forget webtoon Venti where he was loud and proud about his songs (or rhymes or whatever was exactly said there) being twice as good as that of Barbatos himself (ironic because he literally is Barbatos). Like he is proud of being the best bard in Mondstadt.

ALSO Venti is super observant, like I will die on this fucking hill. He would know when something's up.

A big thing that I want to incorporate into my writing if I write him and it needs this, is that it will always feel like he's hiding something from you. Because it was recently brought to my attention that he doesn't always tell the truth or he talks in such a roundabout way that it diverts your attention to something else.

That and the fact that he is literally trying to hide just how powerful he truly is. He doesn't like drawing attention to himself, especially if it outs his true identity. Fucking "the weakest archon of the Seven" my ass. Like did you know that before people use a glider that they literally need to say a prayer to Barbatos to allow them to glide? I didn't either until a recent read up on a hyperfocus on Mondstadt fashion and someone on reddit said that people offer prayers to Barbatos every time they glide. If his power as an archon is based on how many people believe in him, than fuck bro you're straight up lying if the entirety of Teyvat is literally praying every time they use a glider. Like my dude is literally such a liar just to conceal his tracks and diverts attention away from himself.

Also whether or not that reddit user is correct on the prayer thing, I have no clue. I might be AR 59 but I am so behind on actual quests and shit that I just don't know, so how credible or true that is, I'm not sure. You can only trust any of my words when it comes to the archon quest lore :skull:

Honestly this is just turning into a ramble of a lifetime. I apologize sefhfef Overall, I'm not exactly sure how I write Venti or if I write him correctly. When I write there is (sometimes) no thoughts behind my eyes, just aggressive typing while I listen to music and I just pray that I write him accurately. Venti is such a complex character that it's hard to simply just...give tips because there's so much about his character that I could talk about.

I know for a fact that I try to convey not only his playful demeanor, but also his serious and caring nature. Like please, he isn't always cheerful or playful and he knows when to be serious and take things seriously.

And I try to incorporate that old timer feeling he would absolutely have because he is literally thousands of years old. (Adding this here as well for in case you did skip the whole ramble)

I can ramble about his character for days, probably, and I'd still never get to how I write him.

What I can say is to just listen to his voicelines, read his character story and go off memory of how you perceive him and know of him. Listen to other characters voicelines about him. Get to know him in a sense through those.

If you're unsure of whether you're writing him as accurately as possible (or simply just right), ask a Venti simp/fan to beta read for you. That's what I'm doing with my Eula series, I asked a friend if she could help me write Eula more accurately and she referred me to another friend of hers that loves Eula and that friend agreed to helping me in understanding Eula as not only a character but to also portray her as accurately as possible.

If you have no excessive Venti simps to turn to *tucks hair behind ear* Hit me up and I'll happily help you out by once again rambling about him <3

Pt 2 to brothers best friend but it’s just comical scenarios of all the times Jason walks in on the two of them in compromising situations (do with that what you will I’m not entirely sure what you’re comfortable writing)

⋆ ˚｡⋆౨ৎ˚ My Brother Doesn't Like My Boyfriend (Couldn't Tell You Why)

content: leo valdez x daughter of jupiter! grace! reader warning: very close to smut, NSFW probs just to be safe, many many sexual references and more, language obvi author's note: i wrote this the second i saw it. i was supposed to log off for the day but then i saw this and stared foaming at the mouth. i was supposed to do my spanish hw but here we are an hour later. it was just too good i'm sorry i'm a menace and cannot be stopped. ALSO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED THIS IS VERY SMUTTY IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED DO NOT READ THX BYE BABES.

here are the three times jason grace caught his best friend doing things with his twin sister...and the one time he didn't catch them.

i. the engine room incident

"have you seen leo? i need him to fix the heating in my room," percy asked jason as he came into the living room of the argo ii. jason shook his head but got up from the couch.

"you know him, he's probably in the engine room working on something. i'll find him and send him your way, yeah?" jason offered and percy called his thanks as he walked away. jason hummed as he walked to the engine room, trying to remember the last time he saw his sister too. he shrugged, figured those two things were unrelated as he hoped he scared them off each at least for a little while. he loved both of them but he was certain they were just in their honeymoon phase, eager to keep their hands on each other.

"hey, leo, percy was-" jason started, pushing open the door to the engine room but the words died on his lips as he looked up. his jaw dropped at the sight of his sister pinned up against a wall, her shirt long gone and her hair frazzled in every direction. leo stood between her legs, his shirt half hanging off him with all of the buttons undone.

"jase!" his sister squealed, rapidly pulling her hands from leo's hair to cover herself. leo looked over his shoulder, turning his body and allowing jason to see that his pant's were unbuttoned too and on their way of coming off.

"get out!" leo shouted, panic flaring in his eyes which was more than enough for jason to be slamming the door shut. all three of them stood still on their respective sides of the door before jason heard shifting from inside.

"you better be getting dressed in there, y/n!! don't make me call thalia!" he shouted through the door, banging his fists a few times for emphasis.

y/n came out of the engine in leo's shirt, a grumble under her breath as she walked up the stairs and to her room. leo came out of the engine room next, no shirt and a glare at jason.

"dude, you're supposed to be my wing man."

"not when it comes to my sister!" jason argued, smacking leo upside the head.

"hey! not cool!"

"you wanna know what's not cool?! walking in on you trying to fuc-"

"there you are ! leo, i need you to fix my heater in my room- where's your shirt?" percy asked, walking down the stairs but then halting at the state of the son of hephaestus. leo smirked, looking over at jason.

"ask his sister."

"YOURE DONE!"

ii. the bathroom incident

they were all just hanging out on the argo ii, an intense game of uno being played. y/n excused herself to the bathroom at some point, yelling at percy not to look at her cards. (he totally did and then he divised a plan with annabeth to get twenty cards in her hand) after a while, leo tapped out, rolling his eyes as his turn got skipped again. he huffed something about needing snacks before scrambling out of the room. jason eyed leo suspiciously and waited a few minutes before following.

he walked to the kitchen, finding a lack of leo there. he then spun, feeling in his bones that he knew where the two scampered off to. he walked towards the bathroom, squinting with effort as he leaned his head against the door.

"leo, we can't, i've already been gone for so long and-"

"c'mon, pretty girl, live a little."

"i live plenty, thank you," y/n laughed and the distinct sound of kissing followed.

"i have to get back-" y/n tried to argue again

"in a minute," leo murmured, "just lemme...in between your pretty thighs...just...like...this-"

"hey, y/n! you done yet? it's your turn!" jason barked, knocking his fist against the door. there was some panicked shuffling that left jason smirking as the door opened, revealing his sister, desperately trying to fix her hair. jason and her stared at each other for a moment before jason turned towards the bathroom, y/n catching his wrist.

"where are you going?" she asked, her voice pitchy and panicked. jason's smirk just widened.

"the bathroom. why? something wrong?" he prompted and she let go, shaking her head.

"no- no of course not!" she replied with a tight smile before turning and walking away.

jason hummed as he closed the door, locking it and turning towards the shower that was in there, the curtain uncharacteristically pulled closed. he turned the sink on, washing his hands and looking at himself in the mirror.

"are ya in the shower, leo?" he prompted and there was nothing for a few seconds before he heard muffled shuffling and a distant, "shit."

jason crouched under the sink and pulled the cabinet open, revealing a curled up leo, who was desperately trying to take the screws off a vent out. jason raised a brow at him and leo offered him a bright smile.

"i feel the need to remind you i'm your best friend."

"not right. right now, you're some douchebag sleazing it up with my sister."

"fair- fair point."

"i know. full of 'em."

"would it help if i apologized?"

"not really."

"okay, cool."

the remaining six in the living room heard a distant banging and then a loud yell from leo.

"OW! YOU ELECTROCUTED ME, YOU FUCKER!"

"he brings this on himself," y/n muttered into her hands with a shake of her head.

iii. the bunker insistent

that's it! jason was sick of walking into leo's spaces and seeing him going down on his sister. if somebody wanted something from leo, they could go find him themselves! scar their own eyes. if any one wanted to know leo's location, he'd just blow them off and tell them to find him themselves. unless, y/n was with him, in which case he'd happily help find leo. which was the situation right now, as jason could physically see y/n, sitting on the dock in the lake with annabeth. they were watching percy do some water trick and leo was no where in sight.

"hey, jase, could you give this to leo? i don't want to walk all the way out to the bunker," hazel asked, holding out a package that looked like it was from some mechanic website or something. jason confirmed with his own eyes that his sister was at lake before confirming with a nod of his head.

he took the box from the daughter of pluto and began his walk, easily making his way through the woods and finding the bunker. he didn't even waste time knocking, knowing the exact location of his sister and thinking he had nothing to worry about.

how dead wrong he was.

there leo was, his hand firmly wrapped around himself, followed by rapid jerking motions from his hand. he was leaned back against a work bench and sweat was dripping from him, but jason had a feeling it wasn't from manual labor. oh, and the most disgusting part? moans on top of moans of his sisters name.

jason slammed the box down on the ground, pulling his hands up to his eyes like a child.

"you're absolutely disgusting-"

"j- jason, get out-"

"i thought i was safe-"

"why are you even in here right no-"

"she was at the lake and i thought i wasn't gonna see anything-"

"get out!" leo repeated, nearly desperate and jason threw his hands in the air, his eyes tightly squeezed shut.

"i don't want to even be in here!" he yelled back, spinning around and fumbling for the door before leaving and slamming it shut behind himself.

iv. the cabin occasion

"wanna come hang out in my cabin?" y/n offered, leaning forwards and biting her lip in a way that made it hard for leo to resist.

"y/n, you know i want to, but jason-"

"is currently at camp jupiter. he's in another country, there's no way he barges in," y/n cut in, clearly having been planning this for a while. leo pretended to contemplate it but she was already dragging him towards cabin one.

"you drive a hard bargin, ms. grace," leo taunted, smirking down at her as he closed the door of the cabin behind himself and let the girl pull him towards her bed.

"i've been told i'm hard for men to resist," adds y/n, smirking and letting out a sultry breath as leo started to trail his lips along her shoulder.

"whoever told you that is a fucking liar," leo mused into her neck, sucking the skin there before continuing, "you're impossible to resist."

y/n couldn't stop the giggles from leaving her mouth, cupping leo's cheeks and pulling his lips to meet hers in a real kiss, this one taking a slower softer tempo than the previous ones.

"let's get this shirt off, yeah? it's touch what's mine and i don't like it," leo mused, pulling away from the girl and chuckling as her lips chased after his. without a word, y/n tugged her shirt off and flung it somewhere unimportant as leo got to work on all the newly exposed skin.

"leo, leo- leo, honey, did you lock the door?" y/n fought to get out in between her moans. leo didn't answer and just continued to suck at her exposed skin, his hands expertly reaching behind her to undo her bra.

"leo-"

snap! the bra was already unhooked, sagging away from her skin. naturally, that's when the door swung open, thalia walking in with a beaming smile.

"Where is my favorite sister-" thalia's cheer stopped as she stared at her younger sister in the lap of her boyfriend, her bra rapidly slipping off her front. both of the teens looked like deer in headlights, completely frozen.

"you're kidding me-" thalia huffed as y/n smacked leo's shoudler

"i told you to lock the door!"

"you also told me jason was out of town!"

"i have other siblings!"

"clearly!"

"HEY!" thalia shouted, gaining both of their attentions, "here's what were gonna do. i'm going to walk out and you're gonna pretend i was never here. sound good?"

"sounds great," leo smirked, earning him a shove from y/n.

"say thank you," she hissed to her boyfriend, who rolled his eyes.

"thank you, oh great thalia!" he called and thalia laughed as she walked out of the cabin.

"now," leo started, turning back to his girlfriend with a smirk, "where were we?"

finally, leo thought the next morning, y/n cuddled up to his chest, her hand resting right above his heart. he smiled, pressing a kiss to her forehead and pulled the blanket up higher on her. this was all he wanted, just to wake up beside her. none of that sneaking around stuff, no more people (cough jason cough) barging in. just him and his pretty girl.

and then the door squeaked open, jolting y/n from her sleep and causing leo to look over at the door, jason basically fuming.

"I'VE HAD IT! THIS IS MY CABIN TOO!"

PREVIOUS CHP.: PROLOGUE 3

Thank you guys for the likes, reblogs and comments.

Also, to the people who became my followers, I'll be forever grateful for that😊

CW: When MC gets mistaken as a guy, they get referred to as he/him, but the problem is that there's too many males around the MC.

So, I've decided to color the pronouns blue when it's MC that's being addressed. Just to avoid confusion.

CLARIFICATION: The headmaster, and MC knows that Yuu is from another world, so MC decided to play along and pretend that they're from the same world as Yuu. (The human world where MC came from is mostly similar to the human world that Yuu describes. i.e. landmarks, cultural, knowledge, current trends, anime and manga are all mostly the same.)

REMEMBER: Read this before the chapter.

Experience changes people.

If you see MC doing something you think you won't do and you decide to complain about it, remember this:

• You act the way you do because of the things that you've gone through in your life.

• MC is the same.

• They experienced a lot of traumatic events and almost lost their lives a fuck-ton of times.

• Because of that, they've changed. They've diverged from being you into the MC that they are now.

• The life you're living now shall be treated as the MC's canonical past.

• Also, because The Obey Me!cast feels bad from all the times you suffered and almost died because of them, they tend to overcompensate you.

• You get dressed in the finest of fabrics, most luxurious jewels, as well as housed and fed with the best things that the three realms have to offer.

• You don't take them for granted, but years of living with that lifestyle had raised your standards to new heights and changed the way that you act towards certain things.

• You're free to make up your own head canons if you don't like mine, also y'all can give me feedback if you want so I can improve my work.

• This story will be set a few years after the canon of the Obey Me games.

• • • • •

Who would've thought that it would be a bad idea to try to trick someone who literally reeks of luxury to live in an old, bout-to-fall-apart dormitory?

Well, certainly not Crowley.

That fact became known when 'The shady looking dorm leader™' and also, the tablet decided to tag along with you, Yuu and Crowley, but then had to help Yuu in holding you back so that you wouldn't beat the ever living crap out of the headmaster the moment he dared to bring y'all in front of this rustic establishment and say "It had charm". (Too many You's)

Oh really? really?? Oh you'll see real charm when I beat you straight into the afterlife you greasy son of a bitc–

*Ehem*

It did not end well.

So instead of that, the headmaster had to temporarily put you and your fellow stranded-in-dis-school-human into the infirmary as your temporary abode and promised to fix the shoddy dorm so that it can safely house people in it. (Grim will appear in the future, dw)

*Que Azul tryna make you stay in Octavinelle and you vehemently declining that offer.*

Also, you're starting to get creeped-out by the floating tablet that keeps following you around and won't stop with taking pictures. there's also the small maniacal giggles coming out of the device.

• • • • • •

So there you two are, two people that've been kidnapped by this school's fuckin carriage are now bonding in the infirmary and distracting each other by venting about problems back home. (You two are too wary to be able to sleep properly.)

Like, yes Yuu, I'm in a polyamorous with more than a dozen problematic individuals.

Yes, it works out. somehow

Damn, three assignments due tomorrow all from the same subject? Have you ever tried cheating off of your classmates?

Oh— wait what?! a classmate from biology was caught fucking with a professor in a classroom!? Seriously??

No, I unfortunately no longer have a grasp on the concept of private space and poverty.

Yes, maintaining a relationship with a lot of people at the same time can be hard.

A lot of them are rich.

Wait, a seatmate of yours really gave two free expensive sketch pads just because you asked?? Where can I find that person??

Yes they all act like my sugar daddies and my man-children in one way or another.

No, don't you dare pimp yourself out, okay? There may be a lot of people in my life but the important thing is that we all love each other.

We support, comfort, protect, and guide each other to the best we can.

No— that didn't happen in a day, I had to bend over backwards and almost die a shit-ton of times before I managed to wiggle myself firmly into the hearts of those fuckers.

...Q- Questions about our sex life will be automatically ignored.

Just.. be nice to others, even if it's seemingly stupid.

Unless they are absolute scum then just maintain distance.

You just gotta eyeball it to figure out when to stop being nice to someone.

Never and I mean NEVER treat anyone badly unless they did something unforgivable to you.

Don't call me kind. It's easier to have a grasp on other people if you're nice.

Pft— You once saw a book called "How to be a sugar baby 101" in the school library?! And you saw your principal reading it?!

Sure-sure, I'll help you with your math homework— wait a second.. Seriously?? We've been kidnapped, I ain't allowing you to do math. Where the hell did you even hide that thick-as-fuck test sheet anyways?? Up your ass?!

• • • •

You sigh for the third time this hour, looking at Yuu who's making a "Mom.. I threw up in the carpet... I'm sowwy🥺" expression as they stand beside your bed.

"What happened?"

Yuu winced, feeling embarrassed as they hear you talk to them like a disappointed parent, they had failed to appeal to Crowley about becoming a temporary student of this school and now had to be a janitor/errand kid.

"The headmaster said that I'll be the handy-man of the campus while he searches for a way to get us home..."

You feel a vein in your head throb and your eye start to twitch by of the sheer audacity being shown in front of your face.

You are now feeling the immense urge to hex that bird-bitch.

Satan sat straight in his seat, speaking out to the others in the meeting table.

"I can feel irritation and the urge to curse someone again." He said.

It would've been funny if this was another situation.

"That's definitely from MC, isn't it? You mentioned being half-asleep and feeling MC get agitated through your pact mark, right?" Diavolo asked.

"Yes, at least our pacts are still intact..." Satan nodded.

"Great, we can use this to monitor MC even if they're far away." Lucifer stated.

Countless search-parties and interrogations have already been conducted, but they're still clueless on where you can be or who could've taken you.

Even Barbatos couldn't see what had happened.

They're starting to get agitated, MC..

• • • • •

Jade watched as Azul frantically drafts and redrafts a new plan of his.

It seems that something caught the eye of their housewarden in the ceremony today.

"What could be so eye-catching that you're in such a hurry to obtain it, Azul?" Jade couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.

"It's a new student, Jade." Azul started.

"He possesses such a large amount of magical artifacts in his hands, It's unbelievable! They were all high quality too!"

Jade blinks.

"Don't you have enough magical artifacts around?"

Jade is confusion.

"You don't know it because you weren't there." Azul narrowed his eyes at Jade.

"I first thought those jewelry of his were similar to the ones that you can buy with enough money in annual auctions, but then I realized that it's very likely that those jewelry are customized."

"...How so?"

"So I decided to try and take a closer look, but when I actually got closer and almost touched one of them, I felt a strong thrum of magic that I haven't felt before!"

Oh?

Now that got Jade's attention.

Azul has been exposed to a lot of strong, powerful people and magical artifacts over the years that he and his twin were following this dormleader of theirs and yet there was actually an artifact so strong that he can feel strong waves of magic by just almost touching it?

How curious..... If the magic of the artifact was so strong, why didn't Azul sense it up until he literally almost held it in his hands?

Seems like this year won't be boring, after all..

BONUS: Someone has a crush.

"Brother, Your package has arrived— What are you... Are you making fan art of Mr. [L/n]...?"

Idia screams like a dumb girl in a horror movie as he tries to block the screen with his body.

"O-ORTHO?! WH-WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT KNOCKING FIRST??!"

"And... what's with the pose?"

Ortho tilts head innocently, confused on why his brother is drawing a new student in a pose that can often be seen on videos that are called "Thirst traps". he's still confused about why they're called that way.

Idia: "O- ORTHO THIS ISN'T ANYTHING BAD I SWEARAHGJSI—"

*Starts to fuckin steam*

"brOTHER YOU'RE BURNING THE CHAIR!"

"AH CRAP!"

lust life - SIRIUS BLACK

(sirius black x female!reader)

summary : you've been hooking up with james potter over the summer, but when you return to hogwarts you find yourself drawn to his best friend. you've adamantly hated sirius black throughout your school years, and you're sure the feeling's mutual... or you were

a/n : hopefully if things turn out well this will be a story with at least 5 parts (probably more)? so feel free to stick around :))

warnings: sexual references, strong & suggestive language, 14+

other parts:

PART 1 (current)

PART 2

PART ONE

Hands buried in his jet black hair, you kissed him heatedly as he pushed you against the wall. Void of any thoughts, your mind was focused solely on the rush of adrenaline that the feel of his hands on you was causing. After a few minutes you pulled away, and looked into his dazed green eyes with a small sigh.

"I should get going, the girls will start wondering where I've gone." You said, your voice dazed and distant.

He nodded almost reluctantly, looking you over once more before leaving, giving you the chance to quickly fix your smudged lipstick in the mirror before also exiting the cramped toilet. You poked your head out of the door and checked the corridor of the train for anyone who might be watching, but thankfully it was empty. Flattening down your skirt, you made your way back to your friends' compartment.

You and James Potter had been hooking up for... 3 months now, was it? You weren't entirely sure and you hadn't exactly been keeping track. It had started off just before the fifth year of school had ended, and it had continued over the summer. It was simply founded on - like most things - sexual attraction, with both parties strictly agreed to no strings attached. It had stayed that way since. Potter needed an output for his energy (of which from personal experience he had an abundance of) and you were scared to commit emotionally in a relationship but still wanted certain benefits, therefore your arrangement just worked.

Sirius smirked as James entered the rickety train compartment, his hair even messier than usual and his glasses spread jauntily across his face.

"So, how was she?" Sirius asked, humour evident in his voice as James rolled his eyes whilst sitting down.

Remus and Peter looked up from the chocolate frog cards they'd been comparing (who had gotten the rarer card: "wanna swap?" "i will for your dumbledore"), finally taking notice of James' disheveled appearance.

"Who?" Peter asked, looking between the two boys nervously.

"His sneaky link of course- the one he won't tell us about." In that moment James felt extremely vulnerable as Sirius' eyes raked up and down him, looking for any sort of clue.

Remus quirked a brow, and Peter's faced promptly turned red as he busied himself by stuffing a struggling chocolate frog into his mouth.

James shrugged, "Good. Nothing much to say really." He paused, taking notice of Sirius' suggestive expression, "And it's definitely not like what you're thinking." He emphasised the last part, picking up the latest daily prophet that was strewn across the floor. James began to rifle through the pages, clearly not reading a thing.

"Who is she?" Sirius exclaimed, ignoring James' previous comment, curiosity biting at his voice. "This has been going on for months now, Prongs, and you haven't even introduced her to us!"

Sirius paused, taking a quick glance at the blond with the remnants of chocolate frog spread around his mouth. "I mean Peter I understand.." He lowered his voice, "but Remus and I... I'm your best friend. Plus I always tell you about the girls I'm with." He said pointedly.

"Only because you have so much to say; there's a new one every bloody week." James gave up pretending to read the newspaper and gave Sirius a look. "Sorry mate but it's just the truth. I'll tell you at some point she's- just not ready."

Sirius stood up with a dramatic sigh, a sign that the interrogation was over. At least for the time being. "I'm going to go grab some pumpkin pasties, anyone want one?"

Peter raised his hand, and Sirius began to leave when James stopped him.

"Here." The boy with the round-rimmed glasses gestured to the money in his right hand.

"James." Remus muttered warningly. He knew that Sirius could never accept money from his friends. Especially not from the Potters, who from Sirius' perspective were already kind enough to allow him to live with them over the summer ever since his parents had completely cut him off.

Sirius paused at the sliding door without fully turning around, so that only the side of his face was visible. "I can handle a few pumpkin pasties, Prongs." Sirius' prior demeanour of happiness vanished, and James realised his offer to help his best friend had likely offended him instead.

James quickly retracted his hand, "Yeah mate, of course."

⚜

"-and then I hexed him, because what kind of asshole stands a girl up at Madam Puddifoots?!" Your friend and fellow Slytherin Serafina exclaimed as you burst out laughing. The two of you had always been good friends, and had gotten especially close in the past year: largely due to the fact that you had the same humour.

All of a sudden the trolley lady popped into view as she stuck her head through the open compartment door.

"Anything from the trolley dears?"

Your eyes lit up, saying that you adored food was an understatement, "I'll have a-"

"Got any more pumpkin pasties?" A voice interrupted you, a look of disdain making it's way onto your features.

Sirius Black was in the corridor of the train, right outside your compartment. This had taken you by surprise- you hadn't expected to see him so soon. You had been hopeful that you wouldn't have to see Black at the very least until when lessons began. His sudden appearance had caught you completely off-guard. Granted, he hadn't exactly changed all that much since you had last seen him- which happened to be during an extremely awkward and unpleasant encounter during the summer holidays, just as you were heading to the Potter's home to meet James whilst his parents were away. You had made up some silly excuse at the time, waiting for an hour in a coffee shop before you dared to return to the Potters' home. But then, you hadn't really had the chance to properly look at him, since your eyes had been focused on your trainers in an attempt to conceal your red face.

Mind snapping to the present, your eyes drifted again to Black. His dark wavy hair was now chin-length, just about long enough to brush against his defined jawline. From where you were sat, he seemed noticeably taller too. A shame, you thought. The days during your first three years of Hogwarts - when you had been able to make fun of Sirius Black for being shorter than you as it was the one advantage you had - had clearly long gone. On top of that, Black appeared to have visibly matured. His air of arrogance and mischief were still there, sure, but he looked more... burdened. The dark circles underneath his eyes didn't escape your notice.

All of the girls around you except for Serafina immediately began to smile shyly.

Black, completely unaware, was in the middle of grabbing four pasties when he noticed his gaggle of admirers.

"Ladies," He acknowledged with a smirk, and you got the distinct impression that he was basking in the attention, like a cat in a garden enjoying the sunlight.

That was until his gaze fell on you. "(L/n)." He dragged out your last name in a disinterested tone, the anger in his foggy grey eyes betraying how much your appearance bothered him. Apparently you still got on his nerves. Good.

Your glare somehow increased as your eyes met his. It wasn't until the trolley lady asked again for what you wanted that you broke off from his stare. Black, taking that as a sign of victory, went back to his gang of troublemakers, allowing you to finally relax and scoff your cauldron cakes. Serafina had watched the two of you interact, now deep in thought as she absentmindedly fiddled with an empty chocolate frog box.

After a few moments of bated breath followed by a reassuring click as the compartment door slid shut, the girls began to giggle amongst eachother. Their gaze flickered to you every so often as they excitedly recounted what had just happened. This behaviour was pretty normal, and so you had learned to block it out by now. The girls you and Sera were with in the compartment were just some Slytherins you'd sat next to in class before, so it wasn't like you were obliged to chat with them or anything.

Lost in thought, you leaned your head against the cool window, swirling your tongue around your mouth as you savoured the taste of the delectable cake. Here was to hoping that your sixth year would be as sweet as the chocolatey goodness in your mouth.

Saltiness flooded your taste buds as you accidentally bit your tongue.

Game development Trembling Essence progress:

Hello and welcome new followers! It'll be some time before there's another update for the '[Extended Demo]' so it will no longer be in the title of game development posts to avoid confusion. Also the next couple of game development posts for April might be a bit short and/or spread out. :]

Behind the scenes:

So far a lot of what's been going on has been brainstorming/going over the script with breaks in between!

I had a very long talk with one of my play testers and it was very fun! One hour ended up turning into several and it really helped me get a better idea of what I want to do for some of the routing/paths and the overall story in general. I believe that this entire month+(?) will just be overlooking the script and brainstorming more ideas/quality of life changes for the game!

My writing style has developed significantly and I'm trying my best to fix all of the multiple pacing issues in the story in a certain order. Noah's backstory is one of the focal points being thoroughly worked on since he expresses sections of his past throughout the game depending on your choices. I can't really share too much else because a lot of it has spoilers and happens later on in the game so right now I'm just writing everything down. So far, I'm still in the early writing stages and I would consider it about 20%(?) done.

I was browsing through some files and happened to across something interesting! This is from when I initially redid all of the old backgrounds in the game for the March 2023 demo and just for fun, I wanted to show some of the different Day/Night settings from this CG. This will be something I'll talk about later when I get to this part! :]

I'm still in the process of creating Noah's reference sheets too but I think I'll end up ditching some of the sketches since angled faces/poses are still difficult for me to draw. :,]

Q&A / Ask box is still open:

If you have any questions about Trembling Essence/Noah feel free to ask here please. This makes it easier for me to see and answer accordingly! I would really like to hear from you guys!

Thank you to those who have sent in asks! I'll try to get to them when I can. I just need time to answer since I like to respond with doodles/drawings as practice. :]

Right now this is all I have to share so far, thank you to everyone for the continued support while I continue working on the game. :,]

the relevance of arcs in the DreamScape AU, or trying my best to make predictions

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE OMORI DREAMSCAPE AU - THIS ANALYSIS ASSUMES YOU HAVE READ UP TO THE CURRENT LATEST CHAPTER (14) PLEASE READ IT!!! ITS GOOD!!

CONTENT WARNING: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE.

READING-THIS WARNING: I'M STUPID AND MISINTERPRET THINGS SOMETIMES, ITS ALL MY ANALYSIS AND DO REMEMBER THAT IT CAN BE WRONG/BAD/STUPID SOMETIMES

*cracks knuckles*

Let's do this.

Determining the Goal of Each Arc

If a story is formatted in a particular way, typically it has a specific goal for that. You learn this back in the years of High School English, when you start to understand the point of plays being separated into acts. They have somewhat different stories, but ultimately link to the same final goal, or final climax of the story.

In DreamScape's instance, it is split into three arcs. An arc (in other contexts) typically refers to the development and eventual resolution of a particular theme or aspect - such as a character arc, which portrays character development over a period of time. I tend to use arc when referring to characters, so I'll capitalise when referring to the actual in-text arcs.

I believe that it is possible to use our understandings of the current Arcs to determine where loose ends might be tied up in Arc 3. We know for certain the ending is "bittersweet" - somewhat good, somewhat bad, not unlike the original game.

Arc 1

The first Arc provides us with the most understanding, since it's complete, but it's relatively easy to miss the goal of the Arc, considering how much is going on. We gain understanding of DreamScape as a location and a plot device, and begin to understand the characters centered around it, which is a lot to process.

The importance of the events that occur is obvious. Sunny fucks with the program, revives Mari, and causes a shit ton of problems, including seriously injuring Basil. Basil knows the truth of Mari's weird online activity, and Sunny is trying to fix the problem he made, causing more problems on the way. In the meantime, Kel and Hero wrestle a dysfunctional relationship, and Aubrey and Basil aren't on good terms.

Despite all this, the finale of the Arc is focused on Aubrey's relationship with Sunny, and it deliberately doesn't end with the creation of the Mari virus - that's the beginning. Having it as an ending would be a relatively reasonable ending for a beginning arc, so why wasn't it?

I believe the goal of the first Arc revolves around Aubrey/Kim/Kel discovering what Sunny has done, and also reader discovering the "truth" about Mari's death, as well as the way Sunny's life rotates around it. Rather than a journey of creation, it is a journey of discovery.

Mari's suicide is first directly described in Chapter 10, and so is Sunny's suicide attempt (mimicking his sister's). We also see Sunny's direct involvement in Mari's death - while her legs breaking was already mentioned, here we see Sunny curled up in the corner, sitting with Mari's dead body, when Aubrey finds him. We see Sunny mimic Mari's suicide, and we get one of the most key lines of this arc-

From this, we learn more about Sunny as a character before the events of her death, and the nature of the destruction of Aubrey and Sunny's relationship, indirectly destroying Aubrey and Basil's relationship at the same time. Similar to the original game (except actually explicit), we watch how the friendship group broke up. This is the goal of the first Arc - much like the Truth Segment of the original game, we are understanding what happened in the past.

The first Arc also introduces Kel and Hero's clashing personalities, and also introduces Kim, to act as "Aubrey's Hero" (at least for this section). Kim and Hero are third-parties who don't like and rarely interact with DreamScape, although they are later required to. I believe setting up these characters makes them more relevant later.

Arc 2

As of current writing, this Arc is incomplete, which makes it difficult to determine its main goal. However, we can look at the current state of events and determine a potential conclusion from there.

Arc 2 has us understand more about the Mari virus, and its interaction and storage of memory. It also introduces Sweetheart, as well as Hero's bargain with her, and it foreshadows/demonstrates severe destruction of DreamScape.

The sequences wherein Sunny enters Mari's memories are very reminiscent of several Truth sequences in the original game. Even the images reflect this, depicting Sunny falling through a red sea; or the hospital. It depicts a continuum of Mari's memory, which also foreshadows the destruction of the way Sunny perceives time.

Despite the horrific nature of it, we know Sunny enjoys being with Mari or acting as her, in her memories - his obsession with his sister has driven him to insane lengths to see and feel her again, punishing himself . In this way, Sunny now acts as an antagonist, where his goals are somewhat beyond reader empathisation and understanding, pivoting them to want him to get help. It may be that we rarely see Sunny as the main perspective onward, but it's perfectly possible for that to not happen as well.

It is likely the game will be immensely broken from here on, or at least somewhat changed. I also predict Sunny will break free from Sweetheart's weird little lab to cause further destruction, because it would ultimately lead to a more interesting future climax.

Considering Loose Ends for Arc 3

The Potential Ending of DreamScape (as a game): Considering the best possibility for a bittersweet ending, the destruction/abandonment of DreamScape as a game would tie up Sunny's grieving and acceptance character arc. Though Hero's focuses on the use of DreamScape to heal grief, Sunny is more relevant and requires more support. Either the virus itself will ruin the game, or Sunny will choose to leave it.

Understanding the Mari Virus: At the present moment, Sunny (and everyone else) has a very limited understanding of the virus - we understand why it is there, and somewhat understand what it can do, but nothing of its extent. Surprisingly, we also understand little about its creation. Either another character will introduce a better understanding of it and its potential, or we learn from Sunny's experience.

A Possible Sunny Final Boss Fight?: Could be an interesting avenue to go down as complete corruption threatens the game, but also threatens Sunny's safety. Aubrey has already fought Sunny before, so it's not impossible. However, that fight also didn't achieve any goals of the other parts of the main cast.

Kel and Hero's relationship: I feel absolutely confident it won't stay this way forever, and we can already see slight change. This also goes for Aubrey and Basil. Whether or not the entire friendship group is revived is debatable, and potentially unlikely, considering Sunny's apparent differences.

Kim as a Character: Putting this here because she's apparently going to get more relevant. This may be because she knows something we do not, or perhaps to understand Aubrey more.

Sweetheart and her Crew: These characters definitely know more about DreamScape than the reader, as is evident by their relevance in the second Arc, as such I believe they might be beneficial to keep around for the next Arc.

Sunny's Eviction/Expulsion Threat: While stated to be five months away, time has been slipping from Sunny's grasp recently, meaning that this is definitely going to become relevant again soon.

Sunny's Physical and Mental Wellbeing: Need I say more?

Basil and Unrequited Love: The pining is probably going to get worse from here, especially considering Sunny's current state. It is possible Basil will have an internal strife between his desire to see Sunny happy and what is best for him.

There's definitely more. It's like, insanely early. I stopped having a train of thought twenty minutes ago. But I hope you enjoyed this!

Sketch Showcase Time!!!

Sooooooooo, these are days two and three of my "Learning How-To Draw Pinky and Brain Phase." And, y'all, I think I found my groove! This is attempt 2 of drawing Pinky:

Already, I'm very pleased with this. I mean, this was my attempt to re-create Pinky's design by @goosieboosie. I'm not a digital artist, so I couldn't capture all the majesty of this design perfectly, but I did a decent job. This style allows me to draw Pinky's face a lot easier, and I can get more creative with facial features. I was really happy when I finished this, I kinda freaked out because, he looks great!! I even drew my gender/sexuality headcanons for Pinky beside him, as well as his signature because, why not? I tried to re-draw this picture a few hours later and I made a new discovery:

Sorry for the blurry pic! But yeah, I think I invented my own unique style!! This is the first version of this; there a few changes from my first re-draw. The main changes are Pinky's eyes being rounder, and his ears a little bit larger. I think the base shape of his head is also a little different. I think he looks so derpy!! I was instantly in LOVE with this updated design, so I decided to draw it again and:

The design is a little different again! And also, my first expression!!!! (Ignore the weird as hell erased Pinky head you see; it was a massive failure and I couldn't erase it all :( ) I really think the Pinky on the left turned out better than I thought!! I love his cute little face and his extra floofy head. The second pic is another kind of model pic, but I added a little tongue because it looked cute. I also added the mind bubble and the little blurb just for added effect. I think he looks cute, what do you guys think?

On day three/attempt 3, I actually doodled a Pinky without looking at a reference in one of my books because I was in school. Here's how it turned out:

I LOVE IT!!!! I was so shocked when I finished with this because I think Pinky looks amazing!! It's not perfect, but when compared to day one, it's like night and day. This is my favorite Pinky I've done so far, and it only took my like 25 minutes; what an improvement when compared to over an hour just for one drawing lol! I've made some small changes here, and I will continue to make changes for the time being. I'm still finalizing my style.

Later on, I did something I'm very proud of:

My first full-body Pinky!! I drew the body first and then added a head in later. I also marked certain areas that I might improve upon later, and little personal touches that I added for fun. Yeah, I think his head is a little too tall, but I'll fix that. I implemented some unique elements such as his muzzle area being based on the OG show, the tufts of fur on his head being longer, the chest fur, his feet being stuffed-animal like, his short legs (which will probably be longer in the future), and his tail being from the reboot. I am currently working on hands; they're just not ready yet. I'm very excited to see my own personal style being formed. I like all the touches I added and I'm excited to maybe work on some screenshot re-draws and other things like that.

Here are some hand sketches. Hand are EXTREMELY HARD for me so I'm trying to get an idea of what I want to do. I was either thinking of the one on the left (larger fingers, rounder shapes) or the one on the right (more angular, slimmer fingers). Idk, which hand style do yo guys think would work better?

I'm very proud of the progression I made on these designs. I'm currently planning on drawing Brain very soon and I will be doing screenshot re-draws, experimenting with changes to eye shape, and more expressions. I'm also writing still (new fic currently a wip), and I'm very excited to be contributing more to the fandom!! Let me know where I can improve and some tips on how to draw their hands. Also, special thanks to @cosmicangel139 for the drawing tips for Brain!! You are amazing and I will definitely keep those tips in mind!!!!

#pinky and the brain #patb #patb fanart #pinky #love how he's coming along!! #time to do brain next wish me luck!! #the progress im making is nice #i could still use more tips #any help is appreciated :)

@bacchanalium that's Americans not seeing foreign people as human beings. That's why they always put people to the impossible standard. Like when they tell refugees who fled extremist violence. "Co co co go back to your country where you can be killed and fix it. I am so smart!". And when people do oppose extremism by supporting education and human rightds, they are still called slurs, accused of being "not real" or "as bad as", ignored or further insulted

It's like people who come from the situations like the one in Afghanistan are doomed if they do, doomed if they don't speak about their experience or seek better life. They have impossible expectations on them to not only fit Western sensitivities, but Western imagination of them.

Hope that it's OK to reply like this, if not tell me and I'll delete it!

I don't think it's only people from the United States, though a lot of them are from there, but also those who spend too much time on social media and watch people get piled on for having a slightly different opinion than a bully.

I remember that we had a conversation once about how you could go on Reddit and find that the top comments were indistinguishable from each other, even on threads about different topics. That is, you wouldn't be able to identify any of those users because of their ideas or speech patterns because users tended to upvote those that had references they recognised or ways of writing that they identified with. And that's talking about people who use it to share a positive feeling I would imagine--you approve of the thing, you belong to the group of those who approve of the thing. On Tumblr and Twitter I've seen a more aggressive way to promote sameness, where if you don't follow the script it means that you disagree and that's bad, and then people allow themselves to talk to you in a way that would be considered very offensive if they did it in person. Some people are very hurt by this! It's also creepy because it gets to the point where you literally wouldn't be able to tell any of these users apart.

I refuse to believe that any one nationality is full of idiots. If I could talk to a regular person about the problems that people face in different parts of the world, I am sure they would understand that it's not nice to live through all of that and that no one should be punished for suffering in a way that does not fit your mental schematic of the world. It might take a moment to explain the situation but I think most people would get it.

But with a lot of what you see online, it's like they're just repeating what their cooler friend told them. They also want to be cool, so they repeat it to someone else without understanding it. It might not make any sense but they'll sure as hell say it. After all, it takes a few seconds to type. It reminds me of when I was twelve and pretended to be more familiar with certain bands that the other kids were listening to, but now they use the same dynamic to talk about what opinions are evil and racist.

It could be that we're bombarded with the real-time thoughts of twenty-one year-olds that are specifically fluent in English, with all of their cultural biases and the issues a lot of people have at that age, and because of how social media works, this is what ends up being pushed--the half-baked thoughts of the average teenager or very young adult--not the most mature, well-read, or most empathetic person in that age group, but the most average. Whatever that means. I know that at that age I was saying very messed up things. Definitely not ideas that I would like to be amplified in any way.

You see some adults acting that way, but I don't know if it's adults acting more like teenagers nowadays, more eager to impress and with a lower frustration threshold, or if it's because when I was a kid adults weren't losing their temper in front of me and when they did it was so rare that I considered it the sign of a person being very mentally unwell. I'm not a scientist, I really don't know. People definitely have always had thoughtless opinions but now you see it all the time and it continues affecting what others think and say long after the fact. I can't say I like that.

[paperlovesadness]

do you think “jet skis on the moat” and “body paint” are about miles? or just “jet skis…”?

Heyyy

Oh my goodness. I'm so so sorry for how late I'm responding to this! I remember leaving it aside because I knew I could sit down and write a whole big answer, but then it kind of escaped my mind. But I'm here now! And will make up for it with probably another novel-length answer 🙈

Disclaimers are always: this is for fun. This is one of a million possible interpretations and even I have a lot of those in my head but just choose the 'loudest' one to share. (Sometimes I'll publish an analysis and then have a million new ideas about the song one day when listening to it. Nothing is fixed). This is based a lot on "vibes" cause it's so hard to understand the The Car songs, man.

Okay - so firstly, like I always say with The Car - I do believe that album is first and foremost extremely introspective. And Alex likes to say or suggest in interviews that there isn't too much straight up references to his actual life in there... Now I don't completely believe that? He just definitely doesn't want to talk about them (as usual).

What I see in there is a jumble of emotions and feelings and self-reflection - perhaps done in a less straightforward way than he would do previously. Maybe he did it more instinctively? But there's a strong feeling it is there.

So I do think most songs are just... about Alex's inner workings and feelings (also perhaps why it seems more abstract?) - but do some of those have the potential to refer to a very important and seemingly complicated, undefined relationship in his life? I do believe so.

Body Paint - I've tried looking at from different perspectives. And I'm not sure I found enough to connect it to Miles.

Although - there's a mysterious little detail that I've been overthinking for a while - which is this recurring theme of paint in a few songs. This is probably a prime example of my useless overthinking (and Alex would probably laugh about these sorts of connections being made) - but have you ever noticed:

There's still a trace of body paint On your legs and on your arms and on your face

Exactly the wrong time in exactly the wrong place. Save it for a rainy day. Baby, you go hard in the paint

Or are you just happy to sit there and watch while the paint job dries?

(Body Paint // Anyways // Jet Skis on the Moat)

So like do Jet Skis connect somehow with Body Paint (and Anyways) in themes? 👀

Who knows. But that's just a side observation 😅

Now Jet Skis - Jet Skis being connected to Miles possibly maybe I can see a bit more. With lyrics like:

Come over here and give your buddy a hug

So much for deciding not to let it slide

Because? You know our Milex brains work on overdrive hearing stuff like that. Can it be about anything? Yep. Does it bring to mind a certain someone whose been this man's favorite hug buddy? Also yup. Now extrawild theory territory:

"Deciding not to let it slide" kind of makes me think of how perhaps they've maybe established some new boundaries after crossing a bit too many. Like perhaps one of them went and "killed the joke" they had going in (👀) and after that some boundaries were set. Not letting more-than-friendly things happen. Not letting shit like that slide anymore... Until the next time (so much for that resolution!)

Lights out in the Wonder Park

Your saw-toothed lover boy was quick off the mark

That's long enough in the sunshine for one night

To me lights out in the wonder park is a sad image of something gone by. A wondrous place (jeez. Reference not even intended here) full of fun and joy - but the lights need to go off at some point. It's not real life; it's somewhere you can only go for so long before returning to reality.

Saw-toothed lover boy was probably what grabbed a bunch of people's attention? Miles' crooked, endearing smile (before he straightened his teeth) was something he was known for. And something Alex commented on himself I do believe a few times. (I also do know saw-toothed isn't crooked-toothed. It just sort of evokes that image to me?)

Long enough in the sunshine for one night - to me brings to mind the image of someone being given the full attention they want/deserve. But for some reason can't entirely own. (I can be yours tonight, but not tomorrow type of vibes. That's all we can have - then it's back to "real life". Lights out in the wonder park)

I don't know about the pajama pants and Subbuteo cloke. It for sure evokes childhood imagery. So maybe refers to some specific childhood story? Maybe it's about Alex. Maybe someone told him that they did that in their childhood for fun. Who knows.

And then come the super sad parts?

You know that it's alright if you wanna cry

is obviously so sad even if I can't place it anywhere specific context-wise. (Also seems to evoke Body Paint a bit with "Do your time traveling through the tanning booth So you don't let the sun catch you crying" and "I'm watching your every move I feel the tears are coming on")

And then:

Is there somethin' on your mind

Or are you just happy to sit there and watch

While the paint job dries?

When it's over, you're supposed to know

Okay - so what if paint is some specific metaphor? I haven't found a good enough theory for what that could be (would love to hear your thoughts if you agree and have ideas!) (though... i mean in Body Paint itself there's some interesting theories 👀 not sure it works with the rest though). And now... Watching it dry signifies the end or hibernation of something. But then "when it's over you're supposed to know" - kind of suggests like that ending isn't something that the person it refers to is ready to accept. It still seems like an open possibility. Like one side is still hoping.

As though it's the last time you're gonna ride

Is also sad - suggests something seeming like it's ending. It's the last time. But then there's that "as though". Like an open possibility, hope of it not really being true.

But damn; this is a big mess! Because The Car songs are so hard to analyze, they're so abstract. I can definitely see what Alex has been saying about focusing more on the melody and the emotions it evokes and lyrics kind of being an extension of that. Taking a backseat for a second (hehe. Car pun. Not even intended).

It would seem the album that's set on the actual moon would be as mixed up and tough to decipher as if gets but nope! Alex took up the challenge of cranking it up a notch. Because of course he did.

Anyway. I hope any of this makes sense and/or resonates with someone and their thoughts about this song 💛

Thank you for the question, sorry for the delay!

Sending good energy your way! 💫

A New Friend

Y/n visits Bruce late at night to seek help about a certain Symbiote...

This is shit and the ending is rushed (Might fix it up later) but anyway...

Enjoy!

__________________

The door to the room in the Avengers tower opened, revealing Bruce Banner, half awake and confused as hell. "Y/n? What-"

"Bruce, I...uh...I need help. Your help..in something. I need you to examine me." I stammered as I fidgeted with my hands.

Bruce looked confused and surprised. "At this hour?" He looked over his shoulder seeing it had just passed midnight.

"I know it's really weird but yes, as soon as possible. I think there's something living inside of me and I don't know what it is"

Bruce grabbed his jacket and led me to the lab. About 10 minutes later, he sat me down and began taking various tests.

I took out my phone to show him the incident that had occurred a few hours ago, when I was at the Life Foundation, recording evidence against them.

The footage showed various tests and experiments being performed on innocent people before I skipped forward to when I had been running through the now-burning science facility. I crashed through a glass wall as I was tackled, a woman falling on top of me before a black substance transferred from her body into mine before the woman collapsed on me. The footage was shaky but you could see enough to know what was happening. I quickly pushed her off before scrambling to my feet. The black goo disappeared inside my shoulder as I ran, completely unaware as I checked to see if my phone was still recording. I dodged the flames and ran for the exit, not looking back.

"So..What do you think it is?" I asked, watching Bruce as he observed the footage.

"Well, I would say I've seen this before but for once, I actually haven't" Bruce stated, as he looked back at me. "But it seems to be a living being that linked itself to your body. Kind of like a-"

"A parasite?" I guessed, Bruce nodding. I thought for a second before looking up at him, my eyes widened with fear. "Is it gonna kill me?"

"Now, why would I do that?" The parasite butted in, making me jump. Bruce looked surprised by my sudden movement.

"Did you hear that?" I whispered to Bruce.

Bruce furrowed his eyebrows. "Uh, no? What are you hearing?"

"A voice." I replied.

"Listen, Ms. Host, I can't let you run experiments on me without my permission first. It's outrageously rude." The being said, sounding offended.

"Is it talking to you?" Bruce asked, taking up his tablet to record any new information.

"Yes" I nodded.

"Fascinating.."

"No, not fascinating, terrifying!" I stood up, suddenly feeling the urge to do something. Like running, jumping or...eating?

"I'm glad you're finally becoming aware that we are starving!" The being yelled.

"I'm...I don't know if it's hungry or if I'm hungry..." I held my stomach as it started to ache in hunger. "I feel like I'm gonna faint or something." My hand came up to rest on my forehead as I felt myself begin to sweat.

"Maybe it's both. I mean, you two are joined as one at the moment" Bruce quickly took my hand and beckoned for me to sit down in his office chair. I looked up at Bruce as my vision started to blur a little.

I gulped. "It's saying 'we're starving'. You got any food? I don't know what this guy might do if he's not fed."

"I'll check the kitchen. I'll be right back" Bruce said before rushing out of the lab.

"I'm not a dog, so stop talking about me as if I was one!" The being said, referring to what I had just said.

"Okay, so what are you, then? What do you call yourself?" I looked to the ground as I spoke with the creature.

The being suddenly immerged from my shoulder, its head floating dangerously close to mine. Its face was the opposite of adorable, with large all-white eyes that lacked just about everything, a large mouth that grinned more than a joker, teeth sharper than that of any shark and a tongue longer than a monkey's tail.

"I am Venom. And you…"

I jerked back, almost falling off the chair if the being hadn't caught me with a tendril supporting my back. "The hell-"

He cut me off. "You are mine."

I breathed out shakily. "Right...um... Are you going to eat me?"

Venom stared at me for a moment. "No"

"Why'd you hesitate?"

"I was thinking." Venom quickly answered.

"About eating me?"

"No, about just how long that scientist is taking. Why is he so slow?" Venom grumbled.

"I don't know. Why don't you leave my body and go find food, yourself?" I suggested, wanting anything but a parasite living inside me.

Venom's eyes seemed to glare at me. "Let me explain why I am here and why we can no longer be separated for the rest of our life."

"Are you being serious right now?" Venom ignored my annoyance.

"I'm not from Earth, you idiot humans took me and brought me back to your planet. We are not parasites-"

"Then what are you?"

"I'm what humans call an alien species."

"Aliens can also be parasites. I take it you haven't seen movies before."

"Are you going to butt in every chance you get, or can I explain this properly?" Venom complained.

"No! I don't give a damn because I don't accept your proposal! I don't want you living inside me, I have a life to live!" I yelled. "Now...leave my body."

"I can't leave you, otherwise you and I will both die! And you definitely don't want the death of an innocent being on your conscience." Venom huffed.

"You're good at guilt-tripping, I'll give you that." I stood up again and walked towards the door that Bruce left through. "So...what do you eat?"

"Eyes, lungs, brains, pancreas-"

"Okay, okay, don't make me throw up" I butted in.

"Basically, I eat meat" Venom said.

"Human meat?"

"Meat." Venom stated.

"Yeah, but...you don't eat humans, do you?" I asked.

"On occasion"

"Right..." I gulped.

"Oh, relax Ms.Host, I'm not going to eat you...or anyone you may know. I mostly eat people that are bad...I like the taste of revenge."

"My name is Y/n L/n." I said, noticing I hadn't introduced myself properly.

"Nice to meet you, now where is that scientist?" Venom's head looked around before spotting Bruce. "He promised us food"

"Bruce isn't a very good cook, to be honest"

"That's okay, I am a great one!" Venom grinned.

"Oh no."

caught in a trap pt. 4

fandom: elvis ( 2022 ) pairing: elvis/living past 42, past priscilla/elvis, current priscilla and elvis loving each other too much always. several bits of linda/elvis. word count: 1768. rating: t, tbh. it's got cursing, it's got elvis's drug use. warnings: drug use. the usual bullshit with elvis. use of the word mommy in relation to refer to a significant other. implied terror/fear from a child. the colonel being the colonel. author's note: i don't. i'm not even gonna pretend i have an excuse. also reading my pairings and author notes for this fic now that i write real elvis is hilarious to me. whoever reads this, enjoy. gonna try and finish it by the new year. we'll see. i don't know. previous parts can be found in the masterlist. y'all know this is a fix it fic. this really is just austin elvis vs elvis elvis. i just kind of borrowed elements to fit my needs. directly previous part here.

The thing about Priscilla is that in the entire time Elvis has known her she's been a fabulous listener. Even after they've gotten divorced she still listens when he calls sure the conversations are usually a bit- a lot- shorter but Elvis takes what he can get with her even though he has Linda and even though Priscilla has moved on. It's perhaps a little codependent still but he never claimed that he's necessarily the most healthy when it came to his relationships. So sue him for wanting to keep his ex-wife closer to him than any man probably has any right to.

She listens as Elvis talks- as Elvis tells her what Jerry had told him that- as much as he's loathe to admit it might have made him pass out like he did. He expects her to be more shocked, more taken aback by the knowledge but instead he's greeted by a lack of reaction that if he wasn't so bone tired and exhausted and it wasn't Priscilla acting that way- it would have likely lead to him biting her head off. Instead it just lets his anger deflate, allows him to relax to a certain degree. He likes to think that's just Priscilla's effect on him sometimes, but he knows it's more just her knowing him better than almost anyone.

"I'm gonna fire 'im, 'Cilla. I did, but- everythin' ain't finalized yet, we're doing that tomorrow, but I'll finally be done wit' him." Elvis says as he finishes catching her up, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Priscilla has shifted a few times in her chair, and her feet are currently planted firmly on the ground as she leans forward, eyeing Elvis as if he's a puzzle that needs solving. It takes her a moment before she stops giving him that look and just lets out a very heavy sigh, shaking her head just slightly. "Remember the last time you told me you were firing the colonel you ended up here. remember what I said Elvis?”

His lip curls up into something faintly resembling the beginning of a snarl. Was Priscilla really bringing that up? Bringing up how he promised her that "business was business" and that he "owed it to his face to let him know in person" as if the Colonel would have done the same thing for him, granted him the same sort of courtesy. There's a part of him that knows she's right, knows that he had said that he was going to fire him only to be stuck under the multiple feet of snow like she predicted but it still bothers him to have her point it out. Jerry looks at Elvis from his chair, waiting for him to actually say something in answer to what Priscilla said before Elvis just sighs and shakes his head. "Don't let him clip your wings, yeah, 'Cilla, I remember. It's different this time."

She licks at her lips slowly before humming softly. "What's different about it, baby? You're really done this time? Can't stand being in the snowstorm any more?"

"Somethin'- 'Cilla, I don't know, a'ight? I don't know! I just don't wanna be doin' this. Don't wanna be slavin' away for 'im only to realize I ain't got nothin' to show for it but a daughter I don't get to see and a body that's breakin' down faster than I can try and fix it." He know he shouldn't yell, shouldn't be like this to Priscilla but his frustration about all of this is getting to him. His regrets about everything are starting to get to him. He could be so much happier right now, he could- he could be touring the world. Even- He could still be married to Priscilla but even if he wasn't he could take Linda around the world. Hell, he could take all his girls around the world. They deserve it for what they've done for him.

He waits for Priscilla to get up, to remind him that as much as she loves him, she did not come here to be yelled at, to have him be belligerent at her, but she doesn't. Instead she turns to look at Jerry and motions to the door. "Can you give us a minute? For us to talk." A pause. "Alone."

Which is to say she didn't want to have any interruptions from him or anyone else Memphis Mafia related or even Linda. This was strictly a conversation she wanted between the pair of them. Jerry nods moving to stand up and crossing the room in a few strides. "I'll be outside, Priscilla." He nods at Elvis. "EP."

Priscilla stands up as soon as Jerry leaves the room and moves to sit on the bed, not bothering to ask for permission because what's a lack of space between someone you've been married to and as much as she is sometimes loathe to admit it but someone who knows practically every bit of you because he had a hand in helping shape it.

“Is she taking care of you still?” Priscilla as she moves to stroke his hair gently. It feels soft like she remembers. “I know you said she-”

“You know how I get, ‘Cilla. Could be takin’ care of me in the best way and I’d find a way to still mess it up.” Elvis laughs softly even though none of what he said was actually funny to either one of them.

"I do." She answers with her own huff of a laugh before her hand moves to his cheek, stroking it as he leans into her touch. “You look tired.”

Elvis doesn't speak for a moment, instead just focusing on how gentle Priscilla's touch feels, at how it feels like a cool balm against his skin and how it touches something and settles something in him that even Linda can't touch on her days that he's feeling so goddamn small. He shrugs when he finally does speak. “Stopped takin’ the amphetamines, course I’m a little tired.”

"You-" She stops herself and just looks into Elvis's blue eyes for any trace of a lie. "For Lisa?"

His answering nod is slow and rather measured as he tries to figure out if he wants to answer her beyond that. She deserves an actual answer out of him one complete with words and an acknowledgment of the exact reasons why. "Can't have her being scared of me. 'Course I did, 'Cilla. For her."

Maybe a bit for himself, if only because it meant he'd still be able to see her, still be able to do some of the things he wanted in his life even if he was confined to doing what he had been doing. His eyes don't leave Priscilla as he watches her face cycle through multiple emotions ranging from what he thinks might be pride and honest delight. For a moment he feels like he does when he sometimes calls Linda Mommy and he scrunches up his face. She finally speaks in a whisper. "Thank you."

For putting their daughter first, for doing something she asked him do so many times, for doing something she knows will help him in the long run even if the effects right now aren't pleasant.

Elvis just shrugs before leaning against Priscilla. "You gonna head t'the hotel? Don't know if I'll be any good company right now."

She opens her mouth to answer, fully intending to say no immediately before she shuts it and just looks at Elvis and sees the tiredness in his face, in his shoulders- in every part of his body. Her answer changes as she takes all of that in and processes it. "I'm tired as you, baby. I can stay here."

A hum leaves Elvis's throat before he can stop it. He doesn't need Priscilla, he's got Linda and Priscilla isn't his first love but- she's also just- she's his 'Cilla. He should tell her no but he's missed her, missed being like this. "If you wanna."

Her choice, not his for once because he's not in any state to choose anything for anyone. Her reply is simply to scoot closer to him and start to doze off. Somehow her presence- or maybe it's just whatever the hospital has him on has him dozing off before he can even really register what's happening.

Jerry leaves some time and that's the only explanation Elvis has for the paper he finds on the little table by his bed and the only explanation he has for his father looking so dejected in the chair that Jerry had formerly been in. At some point his glasses had been taken off and he nudges at Priscilla to see if she can find them as he grabs the paper and tries to focus on the words in front of him. He can't quite read it until Priscilla comes back with his glasses and there's a part of him that wishes she hadn't have brought them after he does read.

“The hell is this?” He asks his lips curling into a pure snarl as he stares down at the paper.

“A bill for services rendered by Jamboree Attractions." His father answers, pursing his lips and exhaling as he does. "The Colonel dropped it off while you were sleeping with Priscilla."

"While I was sleepin', course the goddamn toad did." Because the Colonel can't ever do anything normal, can't give him the decency he knows he deserves. His eyes zero in on one note in particular that has him sitting up and has Priscilla stopping even the vaguest attempt to sit back in the bed with him. “Gas for- I didn’t ask him to come to the hayride! How- is this thing full of bullshit like this?”

Vernon for his part doesn't look phased at the question and shrugs. "I don't know, son, that's why I'm here, I figure we can look over it and- talk to the Colonel. Make arrangements-"

Priscilla cuts him off and places a short kiss to Elvis's forehead. "I'll be at the the hotel if you need me, baby."

Elvis watches her leave and frowns as she does before turning back to his father. "We'll look over it, but unless tha' arrangement ends in me still firin' 'im, I ain't payin' attention to it. I ain't takin' him back."

There's a long drawn out sigh that comes from Vernon before he looks at Elvis and shakes his head. "You might have to." A pause. "Let me see the damage, son."

It is more damage than he thought it would be.

[wrotelovelytears]

Hi! How are you? I don't know if you are normally asked this kind of questions but, is there any planet of position which refers to how you act under stress? Thank you :)

Hellooo, I'll be honest I'm half asleep (and still feeling like poo) so idk if any of what I typed out made sense. Anygays here's what I came up with :) ......

I'm totally upset!

Planetary influences and stress

(Let's all say thank you to @grangerowo for this suggestion)

Various planets, placements and aspects that influence how we personally react to stress. I'll be going over some of the ones we may or may not know about.

(Yes I'm including asteroids because they are very important to ones chart).

🕸Saturn🕸

🐍Yes I just had to start off with the planet that loves to test you. Saturn's energy is of course life long and its certain times that it impacts you a lot more than others.

🐍During Saturn squares you find yourself more willing to question how much you have done and how you are as a person. The 1-2 year time period it occurs in your life can highlight more sensitivity to not only your natal Saturn's themes, in regards to you, but whatever house Saturn is residing in during the square. Squares occur every 5-7 years.

💀Natal Aries Saturn, Square Cancer Saturn- When your Saturn transits through Cancer you start questioning how much you emotions impact those around you. There's an increase in sensitivity (in general) towards home and your emotional being. Due to that increase you find yourself coping by spending more time in your home (or wishing to do so), doing things for short term emotional fulfilment and withdrawing from others. Until you learn how to master your emotional sphere you struggle with outburst, withdrawal and loneliness.

🐍Of course I have to talk about oppositions now because your Saturn becoming an opp is always likely. This is another 1-2 year period in which you start to question your relationship to others and how it impacts your worldview. Oppositions are every 12-14 years.

💀Natal Pisces Saturn, Opposition Virgo Saturn- When your Saturn transits through Virgo, you start to look at how the people in your daily life act. You there's more sensitivity in terms of health and daily routines, as well as how what others do in their daily life/ their health pushes up against you. While trying to cope you may end up daydreaming about changes you need to make.

🕸🐍💀⛈🕸🕸🕸o(*≧д≦)o!!🕸🕸🕸🐍💀⛈🕸

🐍Literally any planet in Virgo. It seems like a give away and Virgo is not only health  but your daily activities. Due to it ruling over daily activities you find yourself pushing the themes of whatever planets held there to the brink. There are more themes of perfectionism found and you are a lot more likely to be overly aware of the planets energy.

🐍Planets that oppose your Ascendent give you a harder time. They are usually embodied by other people around you and shown via the shadow attributes you have. Due to this you may actively try to not engage in any of the planets themes causing a strain on yourself.

🐍Planets in Aquarius (specifically if its in a water house). Now this seems like a strange combination and let me explain. Aquarius is a high mental energy sign, its also a fixed sign meaning it will finish (or further amplify) pre existing thoughts and ideals. Water signs are more emotion based passive with actions taken (even Scorpio). Aquarius isn't the most passive sign there is, in fact its the opposite in many ways. So when planets are in Aqua they tend to have an idealistic completion around them. There's always room for more (improvement, ideas, energy etc). However since water wants to take the more passive/slow route that causes friction in how things should be executed. Due to that friction planets' energy is fractured between quickly completely what needs to be done in order to move to the next "big thought" and slowing down to full integrate the "thoughts" into daily life.

🐍Literally anything in the 12th house. This was pretty much a dead giveaway. The 12th house is the house of the unconscious and hidden, when something is there is always in your unconscious mind. Planets here hold not only more influence over your core beliefs but they also scare you heavily. That fear can lead to a rejection of the planets energy and even a questioning of the way you are meant to truly embody it.

💀If there's a stellium here just gone head and amplify not only the energy of the 12th house but each individual planet.

🕸🐍💀⛈🕸🕸🕸o(*≧д≦)o!!🕸🕸🕸🐍💀⛈🕸

🐍I've previously spoken on chart ruler residing in the 12th and I'll mention it yet again. With your chart ruler here, you might not consciously be aware of the amount of escapism used to deal with stress. Because this is the opposite house of daily life we could say its the ruler of night life (so things done during night/bed time tings). When you have your energy more centered towards night time, you might find yourself having a harder time sleeping. There's a higher likelihood fomo (fear of missing out) hits you during bedtime or when you are sleepy because your mind is naturally more active then.

🐍Chart ruler in your 6th house. You might have a tendency to deal with stress with overworking yourself during the day time. Because of being overworked you then get overwhelmed and start to hyper focus on health related issues. You are very aware of your escapism tendencies and use quick actions to side step them. Chart ruler here can also mean working on something everyday in order to relieve outside stressors.

🐍Whatever you have in Scorpio/8th house. These are things you not only want to keep hidden but somewhat benefit from doing so. The down fall is others constantly want to know about the planets that fall under Scorpios energy causing one to stress about hiding/ exposing it.

💀Side note if you have an empty 8th/Scorpio then you stress more about the sign  that rules your eighth house/ the house that rules your Scorpio. (You might also exhibit the shadow attributes of the house your Pluto is in when stressed)

🕸🐍💀⛈🕸🕸🕸o(*≧д≦)o!!🕸🕸🕸🐍💀⛈🕸

🕸Pluto🕸

🐍When Pluto is your dominant planet you find it easier to constantly focus on the themes of the other planets your Pluto touches. This is because you know you can't do much about Pluto however you believe if your other planets are in control you'd have an easier time.

🐍This being your dom planet can also lead to being stressed about the changes in your life you know you need to make.

💀The opposite house Pluto is in can show how it's easier to make the changes. The only thing is you don't put as much energy into that house but instead the house Pluto is in.

🐍Pluto in fire houses (1,5,9)- With your Pluto in a fire house its easier to fall into destructive patterns when something doesn't go your way. The fire houses are the houses of external extortion of energy, that's why its a lot easier to fall into those destructive patterns. The opposite house shows what type of behaviors you engage in when stressed. (Fun fact its the Air houses).

🐍Pluto in air houses (3,7,11)- I already talked about exhibiting the opposite house energy (fun fact its the one above), so I'll focus on the mental energy given off. The air houses are the ones house of internal extortion of energy. Because all the energy you want to get out is all in your head there are tendencies of word vomiting, nervous behaviors and lashing out. Its harder to control your (detrimental) thoughts as its always a focus/theme in your life.

🐍Last Pluto note but the modality its in can really impact what you do when pressured by internal forces.

💀Cardinal Plutos are more likely to find it hard to end cycles because they have always been part of their lives. They eventually realize something doesn't serve them and work on bettering things for their self worth.

💀Mutable Plutos are the second most likely to struggle with ending cycles, this is more due to them being newly aware of them/ starting to have a different view than ones had before. They eventually also end these cycles through accountability of how they play into them.

💀Yes Fixed Plutos end cycles the easiest. Its not only because fixed signs are the ones to end things, its because they have the strictest boundaries over themselves and others. They find it easier to see what's wrong, acknowledge it and push through it.

🐍Pluto is internal stressors related to endings of things that no longer serve you and how to go about ending them. Saturn is external stressors related to patterns found in your life. 

🕸🐍💀⛈🕸🕸🕸o(*≧д≦)o!!🕸🕸🕸🐍💀⛈🕸

🕸Jupiter🕸

🐍Whatever planet conjuncts Jupiter is more likely to not only amplify the positives of that planet but the negatives as well.

💀Jupiter conjunct Sun- This makes the native more expressive in terms of ego related themes. Since they are very ego based they have the hardest time accepting when they have done wrong/when something is wrong. Stress is something that occurs when called out/ made to take accountability.

🐍I really don't think Jupiter likes either the 8th or 12th house. For the eighth its related to secrecy and trying to keep things hidden. However due to Jupiters "I want to show everything🌠" energy its a lot more difficult for people to maintain their secrets (and sometimes others). For the twelfth house its related to hidden/underlying things. Because things that are hidden are harder to show, it causes stress to the native when they are shown.

🐍When your Jupiter falls in your descendant (7th house) its more likely you tend to draw back from people when stressed. Since you naturally put a lot of your energy towards your relationships being stressed makes you go more inwards to minimize it.

💀Of course the opposite can be said for 1st house Jupiters. They focus more on their relationships and how to improve them.

🐍Planets that square your Jupiter can cause you to stress abut their themes (as their energy isn't exactly aligned with the 🌠happiness🌠 Jupiter wants you to exhibit). The square does push on you need to expand however. There's a tendency to only expand when internal forces allow you, not external stresses wanting you to.

🐍Whatever opposes your Jupiter might be things you completely ignore about yourself. You find it easier to ignore rather than address them because of how they directly contrast the current meaning of happiness and peace to you.

💀That doesn't mean these things don't ever appear in your life, you'd just rather ignore them in hopes your personal happiness isn't compromised.

🕸🐍💀⛈🕸🕸🕸o(*≧д≦)o!!🕸🕸🕸🐍💀⛈🕸

🕸Venus🕸

🐍Venus ruled folks handle stress so bad lmao. Venus rules over balance in a way and stress is the lack of balance. You will find them trying to comfort themselves via relationships and/or material pleasures.

🐍Venus 11th house- Yall like ??? Because I didn't say 8th house huh? Anyways this house puts the pressure on and individual to conform to whatever beauty standard their peers see as the best. (Before y'all say but beauty standards is societies fault, its yours too. You part of society. They've always existed. Always will). These people can go to the extremes to balance out their looks and how they socialize with people (also on the internet).

🐍Venus Square Sun- These folks will bite someone's head off before they admit a personal flaw. The reason why Sun/Venus square is so stressful is because what you want to do to keep balance and beauty in your life is not completely aligned with how you live in general. Your ego sometimes conflicts with things that would bring your more physical comfort. When stressed you might see these people heavily project, it could be them trying to come off balanced or calling out others looks/ actions.

🐍Venus Synastry (all aspects)- Again I do not believe in only acknowledging the positives. This can actually cause the house person to not only pick up some of the Venus holder's behaviors but for them to also start trying to look a certain way. The Venus can pressure the house native to become more like their standard of existence when upset. Due to the push from the Venus, the house holder may get stressed when they don't "please them). The Venus might get stressed when the house gives the same energy back (lack of balance).

🕸🐍💀⛈🕸🕸🕸o(*≧д≦)o!!🕸🕸🕸🐍💀⛈🕸

🕸Asteroid tidbits🕸

🐍Medusa(149) in First/Seventh/Fourth or Tenth house. When Medusa is stationed in any of these houses it gives the native a push towards the behavior of the sign there but comes at the price of others judgment/envy.

💀Fourth house makes people more likely to come at you either in your home or for your home life. You can deal with a lot more toxic home environments or even your country being unhealthy for you.

⛈You might see this is refugee charts, war torn country charts and folks with bad history tied to where they reside.

💀In terms of stress itself, natives with Medusa in any of the mentioned houses find themselves pushing more towards the shadow attributes while in spaces that remind them of the sign stationed there. To balance out the stress from others and self, you have to embody traits of the house more than the sign.

🐍Webb(3041) in water houses- Since Webb represents the Internet for the most part it only makes sense that when in a water house its a bit of a struggle. Things that may not emotionally impact most definitely drag the hell out of you.

💀In Cancer you'll find someone who is a lot more sensitive around home and mother/mothering related topics. When brought up these people may end up withdrawing from the internet for long breaks.

💀In Scorpio you'll find someone who is very passionate about mental health and lesser known topics. Because of all that passion (and how its received sometimes), they might not be as open about themselves when pushed to be open you can find this native removing things and people from their lives (Mass unfollowing and blocking sprees)

💀In Pisces, this person is more likely to pick up on various things from the Internet. Due to constantly picking up things (information, energy, habits), you can see them drop and pick up new hobbies to ground themselves.

🐍Fama(408) in water houses- Since fama is just what you are famous for (fame could be positive or negative), folks with Fama in water house may be famous for their emotional outlooks. Could also be their emotional breakdowns in relation to the houses topic.

🐍Kaali(4227) in the 8th house- Now this isn't a bad placement, in fact I believe that this might be on of the best placements for Kaali. That being said we can't ignore the negatives. And that negative is Kaali 8th house natives are more likely to engage in negative thought patterns that could lead to sending evil eye, practicing dark magic and cursing/hexing folks just cause. (Fun fact you can unintentional send evil eye to someone if you are really upset with them, that does show where you are at mentally however).

🐍Lust(4386) in earth houses/signs- Lust is about... Well what we lust over. The things we just crave so much and need so bad. When found in an Earth sign/house you see these natives acting out their wants a lot more. When stressed the actions are amplified.

💀In Taurus/2nd house you might see one spending money to beautify themselves. You can also see them stress eating.

💀In Virgo/6th you could see one heavily engaged in scheduling (the need for constant order) and even dieting (not only weight wise but certain vitamins, activities and interactions).

💀In Capricorn/10th you'll see a lot of restricting of behaviors. Mostly those deemed unworthy/negative by greater society. You can also see them splurge on material items to feel better too.

🐍Quirk(18376) 12th house- With what makes you "quirky" being found in the house of "please don't see me" we can all tell this is gonna be a problem. When one has Quirk in the 12th house they try their very best to hide all their uniqueness from others. The gag is, that's their quirk, them being secretive about their interests and certain behaviors is what makes them different (also their mental process). They might not see it and when pointed out by others they actually might start panicking and ruminating on all the times they were ostracized for being unique.

🐍Karma (3811) conjunct Sun/Moon/Rising- One might feel like they face (bad) karma for being themselves. With the energy (and knowledge) of knowing that everything must eventually be balanced out in the universe, these people don't enjoy many things out of pure fear of doing wrong.

💀Karma/Sun- These natives feel as if they are demonized for expressing themselves and having certain traits. They are more likely to have to learn the lesson of pushing through judgment and not conforming to others opinions.

💀Karma/Moon- These natives feel as if they get backlash from expressing the emotions everyone else does. They may be less likely to show emotion due to experiences with being shut down for it.

💀Karma/Rising- These natives feel as if they are belittled due to how they are seen by others. They might also believe that people constantly judge them/ something is wrong with their core self. They might try to conform to others opinions of them in order to fit in more.

I hope this answered your question :)

A Spell Gone Awry - Solomon x GN!MC

!Trigger Warnings! - Suicide - Bad Grammar

Word Count: 2770

If I didn't love him so much, I'd kill Solomon for casting this awful spell! Of all the spells to mess up, why did it have to be this one!? It's breaking my heart, seeing everyone so torn apart over and over again because of me.

Although the date hasn't changed since the spell took effect, I've already gone through the same day fifteen times. Solomon swears that he's working as hard as he can to fix this mess, but he says it's difficult to come up with a solution in time, since his memories are reset at the beginning of every loop, just like everyone else.

It's not fair that I'm the only one whose memory remains even when the loop resets. It kills me to watch the people I care about suffer through my death over and over again.

"MC, how many loops has it been now?"

"Solomon, I've already told you this three times!"

"I know, I know. I just want to make sure I get this right. We don't have a lot of time since my memory will reset at midnight again when you-..."

"...When I die? I know. It's been fifteen loops so far."

"And you're sure that you've tried everything else you can think of?"

"I'm sure. In the last loop, I tried to ask Barbatos for help, but it seems that even Barbatos' abilities aren't enough to break the loop. In the loop before that, I asked Diavolo for help, but he couldn't break the spell no matter how hard he tried. In the end, they only exhausted themselves trying to save me. Although there was one loop where something strange happened."

"And you haven't mentioned this until now because...?"

"Well, I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but now that I think about it..."

"Well? What happened?"

"There was a loop - I can't recall which one - where Lucifer said something strange to me. I swear I hadn't told him anything about the spell in that loop, but he said something in reference to events that took place in a loop before the one we were in. When I addressed it, he only said that he didn't know what I was talking about and claimed he hadn't said anything along the lines of what he'd just said to me."

"I see... Perhaps the spell is beginning to wear off by itself? I don't recall how I made the spell, but it's possible that when I was concocting it I only intended to have it last for a certain number of loops."

"I don't think that's it. I can't explain why, but every time I die at the end of a loop, I get this strange feeling...like something isn't right..."

"Hmm... MC, I understand that resolving this situation is an urgent matter, but it's already getting late and we're no closer to finding a solution in this loop. Since I won't remember anything about the spell when it resets tomorrow - or, well, today - why don't we just try to enjoy the rest of the day together?"

"I told the brothers that I'd be home before midnight. I was hoping that I could simply lock myself away in my room and die alone so that I didn't have to witness them mourning for me again."

"This spell is absolutely awful. I don't know what I was thinking, being so careless whilst I was playing with magic. I should have been more careful. You haven't properly explained what happens after you die at the end of a loop. Could you tell me more about it?"

"I suppose. When the clock reaches 11:59 pm, I die. Sometimes it's a sudden danger that appears out of nowhere, or an unexpected accident befalls me. But a few times, I've just dropped dead without any apparent cause. Once I die, it's like my soul leaves my body and I can't move or speak, I can only watch the aftermath of my death. It stays that way for exactly one minute. Once the clock strikes midnight, the loop resets itself again to the beginning of the day. The day repeats itself but, depending on what I do or say, some things can change."

"Sigh... I'm so sorry, MC. I can't believe I let this happen. I promise you that I'll find a way to correct this, no matter how many loops we have to go through, you have my word that I'll fix it."

. . .

It's been three loops since I had that conversation with Solomon. In this loop, he asked me to leave him to do his research alone for the day and told me I should just try not to worry about it and go about the day as I usually would. Unfortunately, it's proving to be easier said than done at the moment...

"Hey! Watch where yer swingin' that thing!" Mammon just barely dodges out of the way of Satan's thrashing tail, whilst Satan is too preoccupied with fighting Lucifer off of him.

As I watch the seven brothers fighting amongst themselves like a rowdy group of little kids, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by everything that has happened leading up to this. Although Solomon said I should just pretend that everything is normal for now, I can't hide my misery from the brothers this time around.

At first, the brothers were just concerned and offered me their support for whatever I was going through. Then, when they found me sobbing on the floor in the entranceway, they began to question what was going on. At some point, the brothers had started throwing accusations at one another, trying to determine which one of them it was that had upset me to such an extent. Of course, none of them know the real reason is that I'm stuck in a time loop and I'm going to die in fifteen minutes.

In his haste to avoid being thrown into a wall by Satan's tail, Mammon manages to step on Belphie's. Belphie tears his attention away from throwing things at Asmo and turns his fury on Mammon, tossing a vase right at Mammon's head. Beel, enraged that Mammon had stood on Belphie's tail, radiates murderous intent as he throws himself into the fray. For some reason, Asmo seems to take even more offense at being ignored by Belphie all of a sudden and attempts to strike him once again.

"Why won't it stop? Why can't this stupid spell end already? Why...WHY...WHY!?" My sudden scream silences the brothers and stops them in their tracks, every one of them turning to face me in apparent concern. Only now do I realize that hot stinging tears have begun to roll down my cheeks and I squeeze my eyes shut in a feeble attempt to stop them from flowing, turning my head away in shame. When I open my eyes, they land on the clock across the room.

Oh. I only have ten minutes left. Since Solomon hasn't shown up yet, he must not have found a way to stop the spell yet. I suppose I'll just have to tell him again once the loop resets and hope that he'll be able to figure it out in the next one.

"MC... We're sorry. We didn't mean to make you cry. Please, forgive us." Lucifer is the first to speak, snapping my attention back to the brothers, all waiting in silent apprehension.

Right. They think I'm crying because of their fighting. Truthfully, I am upset that they're fighting, but I've been through so many loops now that this fight is an expected occurrence. Unpleasant though it may be, the fight isn't the reason that I find myself in tears right now.

Wait. Why am I crying...? Because I'm afraid of dying again? Because I'm afraid that I'll have to go through this day over and over again for the rest of eternity? No, that isn't it. I am afraid, but that's not why I'm crying. I'm crying because I've been so blind - so naive - all this time.

Time. That's exactly it.

Time is why I'm crying...

No matter how many times I go through this loop, it still feels like it's the last time I'll ever see all the people I care about. That feeling - the one I keep getting at the end of every loop - it wasn't because of the spell, it was because the spell reminded me of my own mortality.

Being human, I'll never live as long as demons, angels, or an immortal sorcerer. One day, whether I like it or not, my life will come to an end and I'll be forced to leave behind all of the people I love.

"MC...?"

Oh, right. They're still waiting for an answer. I glance back at the clock; five minutes left. I sweep my gaze over the seven brothers, all sorrow-filled eyes fixed on me.

I love every one of them so much. I've become a part of this family; this strange, whacky, wonderful family. But if I die one day, I'll be leaving them all behind...just like Lilith did. Perhaps it would be better for me to leave them all behind sooner rather than later, that way we can't grow even more attached than we already have.

Maybe...just maybe...if I take my own life before midnight, this terrible loop can end with me and everyone can go back to their lives, just as they were before I ever arrived.

"I've decided." I wipe my eyes on the back of my sleeve, forcing a thin smile onto my face. I vaguely register the sound of the front door opening behind me as I speak, but whoever enters keeps quiet. "Could you guys make me a promise...?"

"Of course, MC. Anything, if you'll forgive us." Beel looks downcast, tone laced with remorse and fervent apology.

"Promise me, that no matter what happens, you'll always be family. Even if you fight and argue and disagree all the time, always love and care for each other above all else. Always remember...that you're family..."

"MC... Of course we'll always be family. And you're a part of our family too. But...why does this sound like a goodbye...?" Lucifer's gaze becomes uncharacteristically soft, a rare look of fear painted across his features. The brothers all look on in perplexed silence, almost as if they're paralyzed by their fear.

I cast a sidelong glance at the clock, just as it reaches 11:58 pm. Offering the brothers one final close-eyed smile, I call upon my magic to materialize a sword in the air. As a fresh wave of tears washes over me, I can't bring myself to hold them back anymore. "Because it is..."

"MC, WAIT!"

Using my magic, I plunge the sword through my chest and black spots begin to obscure my vision as I feel my strength slipping away from me. As my legs give out beneath me, I expect to hit the floor hard but, instead, I feel warm arms wrapping around me before I can come into contact with the ground. There's an unpleasant ringing in my ears, but I can barely make out several muffled voices shouting around me. My vision is becoming darker by the second, but I can just about discern who is who based on the blurs of color surrounding me.

Familiar blue-brown eyes smile down at me and I feel a warm hand pushing back the hair out of my face. I struggle to focus on Solomon's face, straining my ears to hear what he's saying when I realize that his lips are moving. "...I can't figure out if you're incredibly brave or incredibly foolish. But, then again, that's what I love about you, isn't it? There, there. There's no need to cry. You're going to be okay. I promise..."

The dull ache that had been spreading throughout my body begins to fade away into the back of my mind and a strange sense of calm falls over me as Solomon wipes away my tears with his thumb. A peaceful feeling takes hold of me and refuses to let go, dragging me into the inviting darkness that awaits me.

Even after I lose all feeling in my body and my vision is covered by darkness, I still hear those final words that Solomon whispers beside my ear. "...You did great, MC. Wait for me, okay? We'll be together again soon..."

. . .

Gasp! I wake up in bed with a start, sitting bolt upright so quickly that the world seems to spin around me for a moment and I clutch my head as I feel a stab of pain in my chest. When my head clears, I grab my D.D.D from beside my bed. 6:59 am.

But I thought that I killed myself to end the loop. Was that all a dream? All of that pain, all of those tears; it felt so real. Was it all really just a bad dream? I get out of bed but collapse immediately, all my strength being sapped the moment I get to my feet, a sharp pain shooting through my entire body.

No, it wasn't a nightmare; it was real. Everything that happened to me was real. With some struggle, I manage to get back on my feet. It's tomorrow - or, more accurately, tomorrow is today - which means that the spell has been broken. I hurry downstairs and scan the entranceway for any signs of what had happened. There's no trace of any of the destruction that the brothers caused when they were fighting, not even a single drop of blood remains. It's as though nothing ever happened...

No, I know it was real. I remember everything so vividly. I remember...Solomon! I have to find Solomon! Without wasting another second, I scour the House of Lamentation for any signs of the sorcerer, but I only see the brothers milling around the house. They all attempt to stop me and ask me why I'm in such a rush and why I look so panicked, but I don't spare any of them a glance. Concluding that Solomon isn't here, I bolt for the door, tailed by the worried brothers that stop at the door to call out after me.

"MC, where are ya goin'!?"

"MC! Come back here at once and tell us what happened!"

"Tell us what's going on, damnit!"

"Hey, we were supposed to game together today!"

I don't stop - I don't even look back - I can only focus on finding Solomon, running as fast as my legs can carry me to Purgatory Hall. I have to tell him... I have to tell Solomon that I love him too!

I make it to Purgatory Hall, exhausted and out of breath. I burst through the door without bothering to knock, panting heavily as I scan the area for that familiar head of white hair. I find Solomon, along with Simeon and Luke, in the sitting room. When I throw open the doors, they turn to me with bewildered looks on their faces, undoubtedly confused by my frazzled state and bizarre behavior.

Solomon puts an arm over the back of the sofa as he turns to look at me, raising a brow at my dramatic entrance, visibly amused by my appearance already.

"Solomon, I'm sorry! I should never have done what I did! I should have trusted you and been patient! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" I don't even know if the words that I blurt out make any sense; I don't take the time to think through what I'm saying.

Solomon's amusement vanishes just as quickly as it had appeared; he gets up from his seat and turns to me fully, looking thoroughly concerned, but no less confused. "MC, what are you talking about? Did something happen?"

He...doesn't remember...?

...Hedoesn'trememberhedoesn'trememberhedoesn'tremember...

HE DOESN'T REMEMBER!

My whole body suddenly feels weak - even weaker than when I was dying - and my legs begin to tremble until they eventually buckle beneath me and I come crashing to my knees, barely registering the pain that it causes. At first, I don't even notice that I'm crying - not until my sobbing turns into ear-splitting wails of grief. An immeasurable agony takes root in my chest, as though something was squeezing my heart.

When I open my eyes again, Solomon is on his knees before me, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into a desperate embrace. His grip on me is somehow gentle enough to soothe my aching heart, yet firm enough to ground me; to assure me that this is real, that he's here and he's not going anywhere.

Burying my face in his chest, I convince myself that everything is fine; that I'm going to be okay. I'll have to explain everything to Solomon eventually but, for now, I just want to stay like this; safe and warm in his arms, remembering those precious words he said to me.

I'm not sure if anyone has asked this before, but I was interested as to why they is included in every set of pronouns? Is it because of MC's amnesia? No complaints here! Was just curious about the whys behind that choice :)

Okay, so the answer to this is a long one.

Originally, there was no intention behind it at all. I am very used to, in my household, normalizing referring to people as 'they'. It was something I grew up with. Now, I don't know if my parents meant anything by it and I certainly never have. It's almost a habit that I keep in life since I don't like assuming strangers genders. Usually I don't switch pronouns around until it is clear that they go by he or she. I worked in customer service for about a decade so this was important. Now, that being said, someone sent me an ask way back in Chapter One about their character being referred to as a "they" and how that was a bit uncomfortable for them. At the time, I was intending to fix it and take out the 'they' pronoun unless it was something the MC chose. I gave a lot of thought about this and realized what the problem with it was and was all on board to tweaking it about and rearranging the pronouns.

Then, I solidified a few things in my story. This would have been around the release of Chapter Two probably. And, the "they" pronoun, is staying because it is actually important to the character of the MC. Not only is it a hint to what is going on, but it is a locked pronoun due to spoilery things. Now, I wish I could say more, especially for the people that don't like the they pronoun use. But, it is a part of the story. It is a spoiler for the end. So, while I am certainly more conscious of when and how I use that pronoun during conversations within the story, it is also a bit of a nod to something that has not been revealed as of yet.

I understand for some, this is a turn off, and that is completely okay if you are now uncomfortable reading the Night Market due to it. But, as much as you guys do get to customize your MC, the MC is still a character within the game and there are certain decisions I'll probably have to make if that makes sense?

Thank you for the ask. I'm glad to actually have the opportunity to straighten all that out. Especially because it began with me just not thinking. But, I honestly think it was one of those things I subconsciously did because it ended up becoming one of the biggest hints to the story end.

First one in the US is here

Well, hiyah!

That gif made sense seeing all the spectacle going on in Miami since yesterday. Not a fan, but what can I do?

I'm starting to think about stopping this blog not even halfway through the season. Just because with a job with such random shifts and maybe only 2-3 free weekends (Barcelona being one of them since we're attending once again) until I'm done in October keeping it up seems kinda tedious ngl. I'll see what I decide in the next few weeks, I'm still getting used to the adult life again 🤣

Press conference - Thursday

I haven't really paid attention to what was said in the pressers, plus they didn't talk about anything interesting whatsoever.

The most interesting thing was about last weekend's drama between George and Sid the Sloth due to Crofty's question. George really is a mood right now. I mean, it was just an inchident, problem with a certain someone is still that he can't take it when someone pulls the same crap as he normally does.

But that's about it. Maybe tomorrow I'll pay more attention, but there's no promises.

Free Practice 1 - Friday

Well, in all honesty, I've watched the first session without watching it. I was drying my hair while FP1 was on and I didn't really pay attention.

There was some trouble for George apparently that they had to fix before he got back on track, the track is almost brand new since they changed the shitty ass tarmac so they all needed to try different set ups to see what works and what doesn't in this new bore of a circuit. Nothing new, all in all.

Hülkengberg did crash with like 20 or 25 minutes to go and the session was Red Flagged immediately. Quick job for once, wish the FIA took it this seriously every single time.

Other than that, the only interesting enough information is having George, Lewis and Sharl respectively on the Top 3. What a sight for sore eyes, am I right? 🥹

It might be a little too late to watch FP1 but I need to take advantage of the free Friday although I'm getting up early tomorrow for work...

Free Practice 2 - Friday

Okay, not the day to watch F1, truth be told. I'm getting ready for bed while I watch FP2 🤣 I'm being so unserious today it's actually funny. Anywho.

Grape Scotch (this reference might be too "obscure"), that save from Kevin!!!!! He missed the wall by less than nothing, phew!!!

Besides that especial someone having troubles with his car's insides, the rest has been really quiet. Even though I've been busy while watching, I've been paying more attention to this one, all for nothing.

SHARL AGAINST THE WALL, NOT AGAIN!!!!!!

Geez, thank goodness it was close to the end and nothing else happened. What a bore. When I wanted some excitement I didn't mean my boy crashing!!!

Anywho, more tomorrow. I might die of lack of sleep but I'll watch from my grave then 🤣

Free Practice 3 - Saturday

Ladies and gents, I'M NOT PAYING ATTENTION. You could say that I dislike this GP and you'd be right. It's not interesting, DRS zones have been shortened, nothing's going on. You name it.

I mean, there's really no point in watching this atm. I couldn't be any more bored. This race for me looks more like a circus than a sport. Well, nowadays all of them are, but Miami is the worst representation. It's more important having celebrities and events unrelated to the sport than the actual race weekend. It's sad. I miss the old F1 so much.

It's been painful to write this crap of a "summary", because you can't even call it that. So unmotivating 🤣

I'm sorry this is such a downer, not proud of it. But I feel like if I don't even try and watch it all and make a post and everything I'd be failing my resolution toward this blog.

Anyway, I'll watch Quali later. I hope it's more interesting. I really hope it is.

Peace out!

[squidcourse]

so what are some good system servers that arent like publicly on disboard cause those always get raided. even public ones on tumblr arent that bad w raiding .

I'm not in a lot of system server tbh other than this one which isn't super active. Most of the servers I am on have PluralKit and are accepting of systems, but I'm in a lot more transgender or agere focused servers than system servers.

Also yeah, some servers are just so awful with raids cause a lot of people don't seem to understand how discord works. It is fine if you're just with your friends or whatever, that is one thing. However you basically have to set up some kind of verification system if you have a publicly available way for people to join.

I cannot count the number of times that I have joined a server with the worst possible layout and then seen it get raided. At some point, I just right off the bat go to the suggestions channel (or general if they don't have anywhere to suggest stuff) and point out various things that gotta be updated and how to fix that. I cannot count how many times people have given me admin perms and I just set up or fixed the server. Even if I don't stay on it, I'll usually just fix it up so that there's not raids.

First of all, there is ability to mention all roles. For some reason, Discord usually has this enabled as default, and when you create new roles usually, all new roles copy default permissions. So before you create roles, you have to disable that so that you don't have spammers pinging everyone.

Then, you don't want new users to have access to all channels immediately. The best way to do this is to have all categories and channels set so that you cannot view those channels unless you have a certain role (most people just call it 'verified' but you can call it whatever). The only channels that should be visible without a role is like a channel explaining the rules, or a channel where users can get verified. That is it. Users who have not joined don't need access to anything else (unless you have some other channels with other like informational content, but as always, remember to be able to disable send message perms in channels where its just for reference such as rules or announcements or a role selection channel).

Usually for verification, people will have some questions available to be answered. Doesn't have to be too complicated. A troll will usually not bother to answer the questions, or if they do answer the questions, they will give bad answers. (For example, I run some trans-only servers, and sometimes people will join and not seem to understand what the term means. Occasionally, it is someone who is just confused, but usually if you ask them to clarify, the person with the weird answers is going to end up being a troll. There is some nuance to it but after a while on discord, you start to notice patterns in how trolls will act which is its whole other can of worms. At bare minimum, keep an extra eye on newly-created accounts.)

If you have a channel where you can select roles (this would be done through a bot, but I'm not here to explain every individual bot you can use on Discord that can be used for members to select roles without admin perms) make sure that if unverified users can access it, they cannot select roles which give them permission to see and/or type in other channels. Either put those roles in another channel (like a #more-roles channel or whatever) or go configure the bot that you are using so that you cannot select those roles unless you have the "verified" role. Most bots have a way you can do this. A lot of servers put venting channels behind a role for people who don't want to see it, but make it so that unverified users can access those channels. Bad idea. Trolls will often select as many roles as possible and just click on all those emojis. This is both just to be annoying and just in case any of those roles unlock a channel for them to spam before anyone notices. The worst is if those are sensitive channels, so make sure you have it set it up properly. Also, keep an eye on users who have a lot of conflicting roles. A lot of servers have role options for like "you can dm me" or "ask to dm me" or "do not dm me" so people can select their preferences, and if you see someone who is not yet verified with all of them, usually that ends up being a troll. Or just someone confused by Discord. Its not 100% a way to tell, but its like a symptom. Is this person coughing from a bong hit or covid? Gotta check the temperature and see what else happens.

Ok what else is there. Lemmie see what I got so far.

Disable the ability for anyone but the mods to mention @ everyone

Restrict "see channel" and "send message" permissions as appropriate

Set up some kind of verification with simple questions relevant to the server (ex. where did you find the server? why are you joining? how old are you? are you part of x that is exclusive to the community this server is creating? whatever)

Be careful with role selection abilities.

Oh yeah, if you are using PluralKit on your server or have it available, the @ everyone permission has to have the ability to use external emotes enabled cause otherwise PluralKit users with nitro will not be able to use nitro when they proxy, even if @ verified is able to do so.

I would recommend using some kind of ticket bot for moderation if you're gonna have a big server. Its not that hard to set up, you just use the dashboard. Also a bot that logs various stuff so you can have that for reference. Just make those channels for logging mods-only and mute them until you need them. And something for automoderation and roles and shit or whatever.

Plus when you make your categories, don't name them something too stupid. You want people do find them. Don't use fucking aesthetic symbols as category names cause then you can't find shit. If you have emojis, fucking name them something. If you got your emojis off of emojis.gg or whatever, I swear if you do not rename them, and your server has a bunch of emojis with random numbers in the name, that is so annoying that will never not annoy me please stop with that. Keep it screenreader friendly or at least helpful to navigate.

I'm not currently on any servers that get raided cause I mostly have my own servers and I don't stay on servers without some kind of verification system cause that's a headache to deal with. Like just set up verification, I don't want my phone blown up by some default profile troll spamming slurs and pinging everyone. A lot of my servers I'm just on for emojis cause I'm a nitro slut.

Anyways I hope that was helpful or something.
