Hi Arcadekitten!!! I recently played ā€˜Sweet No Deathā€™ and I absolutely LOVED it!!! The art was amazing, and It was like a perfect balance of cuteness and horror, and was also kindaā€¦. Deep, in a way? Anyhow, I really enjoyed it :) and Ruuuby was my favorite <3
I have a few questions and headcanons about the game, as well! May I ask you some questions, please?
1) Does Stella like Lambchop back? Or ratherā€¦ CAN she like him back? In the game it doesnā€™t seem that she had any sort of attraction to him whatsoever, but is the potential there? Their relationship is complicated, but itā€™s also really cute in a way :)
2) Where did Stella come from? We know that she arrived on a shooting star, but is there a chance that she came from the original Noisrevverse (did I spell it right? Idk) as well? If so, I have a lot of theoriesā€¦
3) How did Stella obtain her god-savior complex, anyways? Was she always like this, or did some event in her past that made her this way? Also, how did she get so powerful? Stella is arguably the most powerful Noisrevian (again, did I spell it right?) by farā€¦ was she just naturally that powerful or did she have to work her way up to be?
4) Why was Lambchop the only one to gain self-awareness while the others were justā€¦ blind? I know that you said he became ā€˜disillusionedā€¦ā€™ but why was he the only one who thought ā€œHey, this is kinda freaky??? What the heck???ā€ While no one else did? Is there some kind of symbolism in this, orā€¦
5) Okay, this is technically not a question and more of an observation, but while I was playing Sweet No Death I kept drawing parallels to Venna the Witch from your other game, Crowscare. Her extreme power and controlling, manipulative nature resembling Stellaā€™s, and her love for blood and meat resembling Lambchopā€™s. Also, the true ending of Sweet No Death (where Stella covers the whole town in fake blood and guts) reminds me of the Blood Moon ending in Crowscareā€¦ not to mention the whole ā€˜shaping the world into my own imageā€™ thing that they both have going onā€¦ Was this intentional? If so, thatā€™s pretty cool! :)
6) Relating to the last question, would Venna, Stella and Lambchop ever get along if they met? I personally feel that Stella and Venna would make an unlikely, but close friendship (Opposites attract, but platonicly!) trading potion recipes, talking about their plans for world domination, things like thatā€¦ though Stella may have to restrain Venna from murdering her friends šŸ˜… As for Lambchopā€¦ well, Iā€™ll leave that up to you!
7)And finallyā€¦ why DOES Lambchop still love Stella, anyways? Hmmā€¦.šŸ¤”
Thank you so much for reading my questions (even though idk if youā€™ll actually answer ā€˜emā€¦ I donā€™t blame you, lol. It is A LOT.) and once again, thank you for creating such an awesome game!! I look forward to playing more of your awesome games as well! :D Have a good day/night/whatever time zone youā€™re in rn :)
I'm so happy to hear you like it, thank you so much!! ā™” I'll try to answer these to the best of my ability!!
I'd say the potential is definitely there! She may already like him like that without even knowing it herself. I mean, look at the gifts in her room and how differently she describes Lambchop's gift from Ruuuby and Raj's. ---
I don't think she came from like any sort of "more proper Noisrev" or anything like that. She did come FROM the stars! Y'know how everyone says people are made of stardust? Well this girl is like, almost concentrated stardust, y'know? ---
Stella is naturally this powerful!! And if you have this kind of power, wouldn't you try to use it to help others? ---
ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ ---
Nothing intentional! Kinda just seems like natural similarities between their stories especially being the genre they are. ---
I mean, Stella might be able to get along talking about magic and whatever, but if she found out that Venna was an abusive mother I'm not sure if Stella would be able to stomach her a second longer. She already feels bad for what her friends are going through (even if she helps them after), I don't think she'd be comfortable with the idea of a child having gone through such traumatic experiences with no "out". Also I DEFINITELY wouldn't say that Stella is planning for "world domination". I think some of you villainize Stella a bit too much! Lambchop likes blood and gore. Enough said. ---
Why wouldn't he love Stella? She's a dreamboat! She's adorable! But for real, while Stella is very adorable, Lambchop loves Stella because she makes him feel alive.

make something up, yes! Here goes...
Mycroft Holmes
Send Me a Character & I'll Tell YouāœØļø
Mycroft Holmes (Yuukoku no Moriarty)
My first impression: ahaha this just reminded me that my first impression (I watched the anime first) was a very unenthused "oh goodie, a Black Butler joke šŸ˜‘" (and that was before the dub!)
My impression now: sexy sexy dork. Incredibly powerful man who exudes big dick energy is also Every Oldest Child Ever, thrilled to shoot his little brother with toy guns and show him up at every opportunity. Secretly incredibly sentimental. Sends his boyfriend notes via carrier pigeon even though it is entirely within his authority to just visit him. A hero amongst introverts who built an entire club on the premise of silent parallel play for adults. In short, an icon.
Favorite thing about that character: tips into borderline headcanon I suppose, but I think he's immensely protective of people he cares about, and it's sweet. Also his fussing over his hair is adorable.
Least favorite thing: I don't know if it really counts because I enjoy roasting him for it so much that it seems weird to say I don't like it when it's fun for me, but "dislikes stupid people and likes black coffee" is the most cringe Reddit bro nonsense ever.
Favorite line/scene: I like the parallel [paraphrasing, too lazy to find exact quotes] where he says to Albert in chapter four "you have my attention, what do you want?" (intrigued, possibly flirtatious) vs in chapter 23, "you have my attention, what do you want?" (resigned, a little bit sad).
Favorite interaction that character has with another: anything with Albert, obvs, but also the bit when Sherlock comes back is very Important and I'm glad it's there. Also that little part where he says he's been protecting Sherlock from their family's secrets and sort of smiles conspiratorially at William.
A character that I wish that character would interact with more: Louis, actually. I want to know to what degree they became friends during the timeskip and possibly leaned on each other in their own reserved and quiet ways in the midst of their grief.
Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character: hrrrrrm. I feel like there's something obvious that's refusing to come to mind, probably because I'm trying too hard to avoid the fact that the anime wants me to associate him with Sebastian. That did lead me down a J Michael Tatum path to thinking that if anything he maybe reminds me a little of an older Kyouya from OHSHC lmao. Anyway I'll add an edit when the obvious thing I'm forgetting come back to me. šŸ˜…
A headcanon about that character: all the dom stuff mainly pfft. Also that he was closer to his father, while Sherlock was a mama's boy.
A song that reminds of that character: all my songs for him are just songs I associate with Mycal, and mostly in a more kind of "Albert POV," but here's one that I have in my Mycal playlist that I think of as more Mycroft POV
An unpopular opinion about that character: eeh. I think I'm pretty in line with the majority of the fandom on him.
Favorite picture: I mean there's lots of lovely shots of him looking very handsome but like...
Tumblr media
he's so pleased with himself šŸ¤£

Everything I enjoyed about Ted Lasso 3x10
It was so exciting to watch them announce the players that got into their national teams
Laughed at Ted not knowing Bumbercatch is swiss
Appreciated the whole team being there for Sam when he was snubbed
I genuinely laughed out loud at all the jokes to do with Dani's personality change
When it cut from the title sequence to ted sitting down with rebecca for biscuits with the boss i really thought it was for real gonna be an OG one but then they panned to trent and i was disappointed but i couldnt even be mad because it was so funny
Ted is a LIAR we have seen him gossip so many times he is such nosy biddy šŸ¤£
Trent loving getting a good grade in girl talk was so funny and cute!
"So chaps, what do we think?" was such a fun line to me for some reason
All 3 of them going "Nah" and making the same face, so fun!
Ted was saying such nonsense for the rest of that scene and they made sure to show us Rebcca's reactions to every single one and she looked so fond every single time
Of course Rupert is saved on Rebeccaā€™s phone as "The Devil" she is so insane
I loved Keeley's green skirt suit
I laughed at Beard's 17 throwing axes that he brought to the UK with him šŸ¤£
"Sneaking in here today reminded me of the first match I ever saw at Nelson Road." "Ah, when they used to play by candlelight." šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
I was SO happy to see Phoebe, then happier still to see her mum! And Jamie is totally right, she is fit
That whole scene was an absolute delight, filled my heart with joy, the England kit! the E for U swap! the tie dye shirt with Roy colors! One thing I can say about this season is that things do tend to go great when Jamie is involved
I laughed at the doomed handshake at Sam's restaurant, he was so resigned to his fate šŸ˜…
Nate breaking into his parents house in the middle of the night because he felt lonely and lost reminded me of 13 Going on 30
I was happy to see Rebeccas Amsterdam pants again! Especially with that purple blouse šŸ’œ
I love that Higgins knows Keeley, Ted and Sassy are Rebecca's top options in that order and that this is unquestionable
Higgins' comparing Akufu to the Chocolate Factory kids was both very accurate and very funny šŸ˜† "I hate to break it to you Rebecca, but those children are dead."
I really liked Rebecca being insecure about the meeting because she knows she's only been invited as a token. It felt true to life and also reminded me of a favorite moment from a beloved show of my past, The Good Wife, where a character expresses a similar concern and gets much the same advice as Higgins gave
I really thought Rebecca was taller than Higgins' office door and was momentarily scared she was going to bump her head on the way out šŸ˜†
I liked Keeley and Mae's conversation, though I, much like Keeley, did not understand the lightning saying šŸ˜… did appreciated the little "Maybe" joke though, it felt like something Ted would do and I always love to perceive them mirroring each other
Everyone noticing Roy's cheerful t-shirt was very funny
I loved that we saw Rebecca studying for the meeting
THE!! TOY!!! SOLDIER!!!!!! She's been carrying it around!!! She is fond of it!!!!! She treats it with such care, and it still brings her strength, gosh!! To think of the moment she picked it up off the ground and stored it away, of whenever it was she decided to keep it with her as an amulet!!! I'm breathless!!!!!!!
Kenneth saying "twins" to Roy lmaooo
The fact that Rebecca has panic attacks is something that can be SO PERSONAL that meant so so SO much to me, I could cry just thinking about it, I've always been sure she did and to have it confirmed was a thrill, and so emotional and satisfying to me to see her self soothe and how it paralleled Ted, truly beautiful gorgeous amazing
Ms Bowen is blonde now! Idk why but that was exciting, I like her! I think Roy should introduce her to Beard, I feel like she could beat up Jane. It was also hilarious to me that they named her Leann for real šŸ¤£ they have no shame!
Barbara's Juicy couture tracksuit and "I like clothes that tell the truth" LMAOOO COMEDY GOLD
Barbara and Keeley's snow globe exchange was delightful. Barbara slowly grew on me throughout the season and was a true highlight in this particular episode, I was very glad that she chose Keeley.
I love that Rebecca went to that meeting in a bbp top and one of her less murderous earrings
I appreciated seeing Rebecca in a professional setting, taking a stand, and going to bat for the club and for football in general, it's something I have always longed to see from her and I'm glad I got it even if it was late in the game
Really liked that Nate plays the violin
I liked the window into Rupert and Rebecca's past and the glimpse into why they were in love once
I liked the contents of Roy's letter to Keeley and thought it was funny that she couldnā€™t read his handwriting
It was exciting to see Rebecca at Keeley's house! She demanded a hug! She's going to fund Keeley's firm! Their friendship has stayed beautifully consistent throughout the season and I appreciate that.
Keeley writing down the number and saying "This is how they do it in the movies" was another Ted-like moment (down to Rebecca being endeared by it!)
I enjoyed the joke of Roy walking in when he did and I loved loved loved that he and Rebecca saluted each other again! I'd been waiting for that!!
I think Nate's apology to Will - how he did it, the score, the note with the sprig of lavender, how it was filmed - felt like such a season 1 moment that it filled me up with this sense of right-ness and I truly appreciated it. Possibly one of the best moments of the season šŸ„¹
Rebecca looked so at peace hanging that painting and also SO beautiful in that dress
Ted sat down without being invited, and Rebecca scooched a little closer once he did šŸ„¹šŸ„¹
She specifically wanted to tell him about this big emotional milestone and Ted looked? I have no idea how to describe it, but it was new, it was a face he's never made before, and it was so?? I don't even know, I don't know what to do with it, or with "I wanna win for us too."
Rebecca is truly insane for spitting on his face on purpose like that lmao
Aaaand that's it! I liked a lot of the bits and pieces of this episode as you can see, and I had a mostly good time while watching it. There were a couple big things that bothered me though, but I'll save those for a different post later in the week once I've gotten a chance to collect my thoughts!

Do you have any suggestions/meta recommendations for introducing someone to jonsa? My sister was the one one who got me into asoiaf a decade+ ago & while my journey has led me to jonsa, the idea of a jon + sansa romance was completely foreign to her when I finally brought it up after the end of season 8. Sheā€™s an absolute blank slate & I want to give her everything but I have no idea where to start!! I bow to your wisdom šŸ™šŸ¼
Our minds work in such unique ways, itā€™s hard to say what would be the most compelling bit of evidence for a specific person? We recently had a fandom poll and everyone is pretty enamored with Jon beheading Slynt, which happens to be my favorite bit of evidence because it involves minimal interpretation, no reading of the authorā€™s mind, a simple wish for a hero and Jon fulfilling the wish. Itā€™s a unique connection between Jon and Sansa.
What makes it feel romantic is that we then have Sansa say ā€œno one will ever marry me for loveā€ and if the pattern holds of her despairing only for Martin to be showing the audience that she neednā€™t despair (no heroes -> Jon decapitates Slynt, no true knights -> Brienne exists, no one will marry her for love -> ???), she will marry someone who isnā€™t after her claim, but how will the reader know that person wants her, not her claim? Conveniently, Jon has been offered and already rejected Winterfell. Not just rejected it, said, Winterfell belongs to Sansa. Again, a unique connection.
I find that indicative of intent, one method Martin uses to make Jonsa feel embedded in their personal journeys while theyā€™re so far apart. This will make the romance feel like itā€™s always been written into their story, not a last-minute development. But, I know that isnā€™t the line of thought that convinced others, so I will share a few favorite metas.
Find Sansaā€™s Husband
This one by Istumpy is a great angle to approach bringing someone into the fold. (That sounds a little cultyā€¦šŸ˜…) Some may say Sansa is too young for a husband (we all think that tbh), but if you take seriously the issue of carrying on the Stark line, it is a great breakdown of contenders for her husband, and very accessible to someone who isnā€™t already invested in the idea.
Iā€™ll include Jon and Waymar parallels because they too seem deliberate. Not sure why Sansa had a crush on this guy who happens to foreshadow Jonā€™s death unless thereā€™s a connection being made there?
Jonnel x Sansa (1, 2) For some, this is the clincher. If your sister buys into the idea of precanon/history foreshadowing events in the series, this might do it.
Compatible dreams. Short, to the point, matchy matchy. Love. starkmaiden is also responsible for the work of art that is The Jonsa Compendium (not the first thing for a new fan to read, but a wonderful resource once youā€™re initiated).
Now the next one is one of the first metas I ever read (I was never involved in fandom before Jonsa), and I still adore it years and thousands and thousands of words of absorbed meta later. We didnā€™t get the predicted endpoint; however, this is where Jonsa began for many people because the OP predicted the Jon and Sansa reunion way before it happened on the show. The ability to predict something accurately makes me take that person seriously, and the OP called stuff very, very early. They even mentioned the NedCat of it all and then the show had Jon/Sansa cosplay them and recreate one of their scenes! Even though the conclusion isnā€™t what will happen, the argument for Jonsa as a romantic pairing is wonderful. It makes a great, overall case for them, and for many, A Time for Wolves is The Jonsa Meta.
Drifting-snowflakes made a series of posts that are very convincing. They kinda, look at what the show did and point out how that did and did not align with what we might reasonably expect in the books. If your sister accepts some of the broad ideas of the GoT ending, these are compelling arguments for what to expect in Martinā€™s. A Dream for Spring and Why Jon and Sansa will get married (1, 2)
If your sister is a lit nerd, cappymightwrite is the blogger sheā€™d be drawn to. Hereā€™s a post talking about the incest motif in the romantic movement and several posts about the Jon/Byron connection (1, 2, 3). That being pertinent to Jonsa forā€¦reasons. šŸ˜¬
A lot of us are fans of The Lord of the Rings and we all know Martin is a huge fan, so maybe your sister would enjoy the parallels between Aragorn/Arwen and Jonsa? I think the idea that Martin is writing his own, darker, more complicated version of that romance compelling.
Or, maybe a specific angle is too limited? Some people work best with a more comprehensive presentation. Here are posts that talk about several things all at once:
Jon Snow: The Silent Unknown and Unthought Answer to Sansa's Hopes
Book foreshadowing
Jonsa Endgame foreshadowing
Book hints in chronological order
Also, over the years Iā€™ve noticed many, many Jonsas come to it via fic, so if sheā€™s into GoT-verse fic, Iā€™d rec thimblefulā€™s alternate s8 (that was written well before s8) because itā€™s been called out by non shippers as a great way to wrap up everything weā€™d been given in the previous seasons. Once Jonsa is something you enjoy, itā€™s a lot more likely youā€™ll read theories with an open mind.
Your closer made me laugh, and Iā€™m sorry I donā€™t have one ā€œthis is the answer!!!ā€ recommendation, but I hope one of those seems like something your sister would enjoy!

Get to Know Me Tag :)
I was tagged by @telomeke in their post here. Thanks for the tag! šŸ„°
do you make your bed?
Yes. To be fair though, I am not a messy sleeper šŸ˜…. Let's just say that, in less than a minute, I can make the bed I slept in look like it hadn't been slept in lol šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
what's your favourite number?
I was born on the 9th day of the 9th month. Imagine how obnoxious I was back in '99 lol. šŸ˜
what is your job?
Let's just say I'm fortunate enough to have an occupation that lets me do experiments, mix nefarious things, obtain spectacular (fail) results, and get paid while I'm at it šŸ˜…
if you could go back to school, would you?
I often describe myself as an infinite learner. So, while it's true that I can learn things outside of uni, there are still some things that I want to comprehend in an academic setting. I mean, how else can I get my hands on a Scanning Electron Microscope, spectrophotometer, and the like?? šŸ˜…
can you parallel park?
Yes. Curiously, my parallel park is better than my reverse parking lol.
a job you had that would surprise people?
Not a job, but most people are surprised when I tell them that I used to be a competitive cheerleader/dancer šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜… Apparently, I don't look "perky" enough lol. Another thing that also surprises other people is when I tell them I used to do theatre and even played the Virgin Mary in a school play back in high school. Again, my resting bitch face is working against me šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
do you think aliens are real?
I'll believe when there is definitive proof that there are. And before I get dragged into the mud, the same goes with religious stuff. I might have played the role of the Virgin Mary in a school theatre, but I am agnostic, at best lol.
can you drive a manual car?
Yes. I actually prefer driving manual cars to automatic because I tend to get bored easily and shifting gears helps me focus lol.
what's your guilty pleasure?
I usually drink unlimited amounts of long black coffee during the day and drink beer mixed with vodka before bedtime. But I will prolly live happily ever after if somebody gives me unlimited access to some tasty chicken nuggets lol
tattoos?
I would want some but I don't like needles lol
favorite color?
I like reds, yellows, and blues.
favorite type of music?
Depends on my mood. There are times I like heavy metal. Other times I would prefer classical music. However, I do like The Beatles so their music is always somewhere in my Spotify playlists.
do you like puzzles?
Yes. I used to do cryptograms and logic puzzles while commuting to my uni.
any phobias?
Does fear itself count? šŸ˜… No, the worst that I feel is anxiety. However, I could always convince myself to face whatever it is that is giving me anxiety. For example, I might not like needles, but I can still get my vaccination with little fuss lol.
favorite childhood sport?
Running. I just like getting from one place to another as fast as my legs could carry.
do you talk to yourself?
If I am alone, yes. I even address myself in the third person šŸ˜…
what movies do you adore?
I listed some of my faves in a different tag game here.
coffee or tea?
Definitely coffee but my GP is on my ass for having low blood pressure so I am slowly migrating to green tea šŸ˜… šŸ˜… šŸ˜…
first thing you wanted to be growing up?
Pretty sure I wanted to be a librarian because (1) I'll be surrounded by books, (2) I will be able to hear myself think since libraries are quiet, and (3) it's almost guaranteed that I will be (mostly) left alone šŸ˜… šŸ˜… šŸ˜…
Whew. Tagging @dribs-and-drabbles, @lost-my-sanity1, @imlivingformyselfdontmindme, @waitmyturtles and everybody who sees this and wants to play this game šŸ˜Š

okay but hold me like you scared to sounds so good already (they all sound so good tbh but this one piqued my interest lol) what's it about? and for the fanfic questions 32, 50 and J :))
@frappe-the-peppermint WE GOT ONE šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„ ahem oh wow who said that. anyway ill do the questions first then get into fic discussionā€¦
32) Do you listen to music when you write or does music inspire you? If so, which band or genre of music does it for you?
i listen to SO MUCH MUSIC!!!!! it depends on what im wrting tbh but i just queue up a bunch of songs in my liked playlist and write and write until it ends or im no longer on that flow. and well my music taste is an absolute mess so there isnt any one definitive band or genre that does it for me (i only pay attention Sometimes) but i suppose artists like mitski and queen would be a decent summary of my taste šŸ˜…
50) How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction?
gravity falls, no stop. the first one that ever piqued my interest was versability (originally on ff.net me thinks) and god damn it HOOKED ME!!!! gravity falls was already getting me up but wow that just got me SO MUCH HIGHER. i have a few authors i started binge reading like thesnadger and pinesinthewoods, i started extracting fics from reccs from tumblr artists, soon discovered ao3, and never looked back. and as for writing fic,,,,, well frankly it was the search for the cureā€™s original form that got me GOING!!!! it originally had crappy ocs as the forefronters but i soon changed that lmao (im definitely not saying theyre bad in general, just thoseā€¦ no) and i wrote So Much For It on my notes app. i didnt realize i culd actually show people until way later, in which i did, and realized that it could actually be better. thats why i reversed back to part one, made the story a part two, scapped the ocs, andā€¦now weā€™re here. i still love it and gravity falls, i dont really show it here anymore. i really should, man. i need to write for them again!!!! it still excites me!!!! and the prose that im weaving now,,,, id DEMOLISH THE GAME!!!!!!! :)
J) what your favorite fanfic trope? have you written it?
honestly i think just showing you my favorted ao3 tags will paint a very detailed picture. here:
Tumblr media
though i suppose if i had to pick one hereā€¦god its between time loop and presumed dead (and grief/moruning but idk if thats a trope so much as it is a theme). MMMMMMMM. mmmmm. just YES. the psychological affects of both being a time loop and thinking someone you love is dead but they arent actually are DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!! they are a MUST HAVE. i daydream constantly, but i havent written time loop yet because while i love it, i havent hadthe motive to write such a thing myself. reading is chill āœŠ and presumed dead well i try to throw it is as much as i can, the most recent ive used being a west end town and my favorite being that one kid from jersey ! i need to do more of these fr. its just so GOOD!!!!!!
okay. its finally time for the brainwashing discussing of the fic ! i can tell you alllll about that story and it will be my pleasure sonny šŸ«” its a very long story. but short verison in case you dont want to go on: its a Titanic epic . april 1912. iceberg. ive read a few that are AMAZING, but i wanted to write one that catered it allll to Me. it has lesbians, heaven sucking ass, flood parallels, and a king of the world AND draw me like one of your french girls scene. very nice šŸ”„
okay now its time for the long story. so a super super long time ago for a post i cant even remember (i really wanna find it šŸ˜­šŸ˜­) i for someone reason went on a tangent about the titanic. i had just read this fic called sinking into the sea which was tbh VERY GOOD (and i would read it again fr fr ) but at the time, i was kinda bummed that aziraphale and crowley never actually Interacted when i had expected. aziraphale didnt even know crowley was there!!! it left me feeling melancholy, and realizing that all of the titanic fics ive ate up to that point didnt HIT hit the spot (i didnt find this after this realization, but again, theyre not even on the boat šŸ¤§) so i was feeling a bit incomplete. i started ranting and ranting it was a wholeee wall of a text of what I would do with a titanic story and i realized oh wait i can Do Something with this because i haev free will and actual (somewhat) coherent skill. pepper jumped on the wagon, REALLY REALLY encouraged which i cant thank enough for, andā€¦.weā€™re here. its brewing. i had a very large interest in the titanic for a long time before this tbh, so being able to insert it into The Interest just JUMPSTARTED my brain and it still does to this day. now for the plotā€¦.
its 2020, a year after the apocalypse (no pandemic). anathema, newt, brian, crowley, and aziraphale have been assigned to plan adamā€™s 12th birthday partyā€”they shenanigan, as you do. on the day of the party (adamā€™s birthday) anathema and newt find a chest in jasmine cottageā€™s attic full of titanic relics, including a pack of polaroid photos (handheld cameras did indeed exist in 1912, i checked !) which kinda might sort of have a photo of aziraphale and crowley!?!?! it was sent to them about six months before. but after the whole Second Volume fiasco, anathema just sort of wrote it off in that way and Hid It. but newt was curious, he found it, and god it was writtent his way wasnt it. (well, not by the nutter they were thinking of actually). anathema confronts them about itsoon after, and they all sit down to hear the story of the titanic in a sort of rose dawson beat. then its 1912ā€”50ish years since the holy water incident and almost a century since the resurrectionists disaster. aziraphale has been assigned to take this trip to new york for Some Reason (we found out why later) and happened to invite crowley to come along to attempt to make amends after Allat (he really does feel bad, but he will NOT do the holy water thing yet </3) shit occurs, but history atlarge will not be rewritten. it does change their story, though. adding a sprinkle of interest in the device family line. agnes prophec(y)(ies), dancing on deck under the stars, playing cards with humans and winning by a Lot, aziraphaleā€™s artistic skills are put to use at one pointā€”ughghgufhits just so DEAR TO ME!!!!! and of course the conflict will come later, especially considering the religious connections to the titanic sinkingā€”ā€œnot even God can sink this shipā€ type conversation šŸ„° aziraphale can and will be made uncomfortable. its for the character development dont worry about it. i even have a playlist for this fic (it sorted by the way the tone shifts thru the story, some songs are silly but they had to stay). pep has also made some song covers to some of the songs that ive heavily connected to the fic and I REALLY FUCKING LIKED. LIKE A LOT. THEYRE AMAZING YOU SHOULD LISTEN IF YOU WANT TO!!!!
the point of all this is that i like titanic fics and im trying to throw my hat in the ring even if its just for me and my friend šŸ”„šŸ”„ because while others have fed me, i havent seen ones that have documented like Every Single Day on the titanic that aziraphale and crowley would theoretically have as well as developing aziraphale and crowleyā€™s relationship while taking into account whats happened before (insert the story into a part of the timeline seamlessly i think thats how iā€™d describe) AS WELL AS connecting the reason why the titanic was such a freak tragedy and how the world is not fucking fair instead of just ā€œoh whoops the thing sank šŸ˜žā€ i want NITTY GRITTY DETAIL!!!!!! I WANT GUILT!!!!!!! I WANT CHAOS!!!!!!!! I WANT TALKING ABOUT GOD!!!!!!! I WANT AZIRAPHALE IN A MENTAL CRISIS!!!!! I WANT CROWLEY JUST WANTING TO FUCKING LIVE FUCKING PEACEFULLY!!!!!!! I WANT LESBIANS!!!!!! i need to get on this,,,, so much to do. i love it all and TY FOR THE ASK!!!!

Also. It's one of the few modern day Dickbin stories I like, where he's allowed to be a child and allowed to make mistakes and no one demonises him
Bruce is amazing here too. A mess, but, still, it's Bruce we're talking about so...uh...yeah!
This panel stands out to me:
Tumblr media
Another is Nightwing/Magilla Gorilla. Again, if you haven't already read it šŸ˜…
During this content draught I've been combing through older comics and I'm going around reccing stuff to people I followšŸ˜­
Don't ask me why. IdkšŸ˜…
Ahsvajai! Byeee!
I remember someone (maybe it was you?) who recommended the Grimm story to me before, and I did read it, but I forgot to respond to that ask because of life and all.
Part 5 of the story was definitely my favorite. Dick had a lot of good dialogue and moments in that issue. Also, the way he got stabbed out of nowhere was alskdja.
In particular, I loved it when he thought:
I didnā€™t understand why Bruce Wayne would want to take me in as his ward let alone why heā€™d want to make me his partner in crime-fighting. I mean, being an acrobat was one thingā€¦ but this? I was way out of my league. At least I thought I was. But we donā€™t always see ourselves the way others see us.
I think that was the first time I saw myselfā€”if only for a momentā€”the way he saw meā€¦ saw not who I wasā€¦ but who I could be with the right training, the right guidance. And letā€™s face it, when it came to teachers, I had the best.
And then Dick and Bruce had a great conversation as well:
Bruce: Iā€™ll take care of Cyanide. You go after Herbert.
Dick: You meanā€¦ after all I didā€¦ turning my back on youā€¦ joining up with Mother Grimm, you still trust me?
Bruce: I never lost faith in you, Robin, only in my own ability to be the mentor you need. Get that shocked look off your faceā€”even Batman can have a few doubts now and then.
Dick: But not any more, right?
Bruce: No, not anymore.
And then said stabby moment I mentioned earlier:
Tumblr media
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #153
Oh, oh, oh. And how Dick, even with a stab wound, tried to save Mother Grimm and Cyanide from the rushing river. And how Bruce smiled at Dick and then they had a cute little moment:
Bruce: Now, letā€™s get that wound taken care of. Iā€™d hate to lose the best partner I ever had.
Dick: Iā€™m the only partner you ever had.
Bruce: All the more reason not to lose you.
Nightwing/Magilla Gorilla is one I actually have read before. There's one moment from it in particular that cycles through my mind every now and again:
Tumblr media
Now I know this is more of a mentor/mentee parallel but... what if it was a comparison between fathers and their sons šŸ˜Œ.
Think about it šŸ˜Œ.
Because I have šŸ˜Œ.

Hello, the matchup thing looked like it'd be fun to do-
My favorite song is Love Me Dead by Ludo ā™”
Apparently my enneagram type is a 4? I'm not really sure what that means, I had to take a test to answer this ^^;
I never really had an imaginary friend, but there was this one time a couple years back that I was kind of hallucinating this tall dark shadowy figure that I named Dave.
I sleep on my stomach with a teddy bear, and the room has to be cold.
When I changed my name, there wasn't really any specific reason I chose Frankie. I was just scrolling through Nameberry and went "hehe, Frankenstein" and now here I am. It means free, which I think is nice. And if you look it up on The Urban Dictionary, it means person with a huge penis šŸ¤ 
Your Chaotic Roommate Confesses His Feelings For You. Literally free serotonin. When it first dropped it was the only thing I would listen to for like a month.
My moots are gonna attack me for this- I really don't get the hype around Anton. Maybe he'll grow on me eventually, but right now he just doesn't hold my attention :/
Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal! It's been my favorite movie since forever, and I have watched it more than enough for two lifetimes ā˜ŗļø
Asher. He reminds me of my brothers, but nicer.
I could talk forever in a day about my original characters and stories <3 Unfortunately, no one ever wants to listen šŸ˜…
Usual gas station combo is a Dr. Pepper, or Cheerwine, and a Little Debbie treat ^^
I have an enemies to lovers playlist-
Fable II! My favorite favorite game :3
Extra stuffs: I have more stuffed animals than I have friends, OG Classic Care Bears is my home, I have three cats, my favorite animal is pigs, I like the color pink, and I'm an Aquarius.
Have a lovely timezone šŸ’•
Tumblr media
Youā€™ve given me so much to work with, so much to chew on, which I deeply appreciate, because that makes my decision so easy. Itā€™s your taste in tv and movies that really did it for me, that convinced me that youā€™d be a great match with Gavin.
Your sign and your enneagram give off the impression of a unique, singular type of person- creative, vibrant, never a dull moment. I think yā€™all would work well together because you and Gavin are cut from the same cloth and would like all the same things. (Also, of the bois, he strikes me as the most genuinely appreciative of the urbandictionary definition of your name.)
I can easily imagine you two settling in for a chill night of parallel playing with the TV playing Care Bears (which you had to introduce to him, but he deeply loves) in your delightful, colorful home. There are so many colors, so much pink, stuffed animals and a cat tree in every room. You canā€™t see him, but Caelum loves visiting yā€™all, making friends with your cats, and seeing Gavin be so incandescently comfortable and happy.
Song:
I'm all aglow, mmm, and now I know/ The key to all heaven is mine/ My heart has wings, mmm, and I can fly/ I'll touch every star in the sky/ So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of/ Mmm, mmm, so this is love
One of my favorite things about Gavinā€™s love story is the peace and softness he finds. This man is intimately expressing love while you sleep; he is so tender. I like this song for yā€™all because of those sweet, tender vibes. This is the music playing as he watches you, with your morning hair and breath, banter with a cat and as he falls even more deeply in love with you.
Runner-ups:
Guy is a really cute runner-up who I think would have more platonic chemistry with you than romantic but so much chemistry nonetheless. You two could make your OCs kiss all the time. Ollie is fun because he also strikes me as having a niche obsession with The Dark Crystal, so yā€™all would have that in common.
note: thank you for waiting and for telling me your favorite color, that was very helpful šŸ’™
Read this post and send me an ask if youā€™d like a match-up of your own! šŸ’Œ

Hello! This feels like a rather peculiar and selfish way to let someone get to know me a bit, but might I request no. 9, please? My current biases are in favor of Riddler and Scarecrow.
I'm laughably short (4'8" lol) but I make up for it in ardor, when I'm comfortable around someone. I'm a bit chubby and generally regarded as cute and looking much younger than I am. I have shoulder length light brown hair and wear black cat's eye shaped eyeglasses. Especially in the colder months here, I tend to have a bit of a "haunted librarian" motif to my wardrobe, i.e. cardigans and sweaters in black and darker colors and my batty spectacle chain. Otherwise, it's mostly jeans or sweatpants and a geeky or horror themed t-shirt. Favorite colors are green, purple, and black.
Outwardly, I project a friendly personality when needed as a result of being a people pleaser, but I try to shrink away from strangers whenever possible. I'm not nearly as naive or trusting as I seem. In relationships, I can be a bit avoidant and emotionally distant, but I do show I care through acts of service and attempts at quality time. I'm a fan of parallel play, content to read or do my own thing while in pleasant company. I have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor for the most part but can be goofy from time to time. I think I'm equal parts spooky and nerd, and my interests include books, music, art, video games, dead things, all things horror, and anything I can pick apart and analyze and overanalyze. I flunked out of college for computer science and programming, but I think I want to go back and study mortuary science. I took the Myers-Briggs test and got INTJ but I think I may be INTP, if any of that helps? I tend to think very logically and separate fact from emotion, although I can get very emotional over my need to stick to the facts. I have a strong sense of justice but a gray moral code. (Obviously I tend to sympathize/empathize with villains more than heroes. Right vs. wrong is more important than written law. Rules sometimes are very much made to be broken.)
Apologies as I know this was a lot to read through, but I try to be a thorough person. šŸ˜…
šŸŽ€ No.9: Ever Fallen In Love With Someone šŸŽ€
tell me a little bit about yourself and i'll give you a rogue pairing a/n: not peculiar or selfish at all!! for you, a gift of the most creative little green bean šŸ’š 1k milestone info! šŸ”žminors dnišŸ”ž ā€¢Ā kofiĀ ā€¢Ā tag: finnie1k

right, so someone short and adorable would be ideal for him, since he gives off short king vibes and is also himself an absolute cutie
i also just know that the only kind of partner miss tuesday would approve of (since you'll be co-parenting her essentially) would be a kinda gothy/alt type person with clothes she could borrow
so cardigans and spooky things? ideal. but then you're also playing into eddie's preference for a sweet little nerd
and purple compliments green so well!
ok so eddie shrinks away when he's not going all out as the riddler, which is usually when he's at his most outgoing. someone with the capability of appearing to be naive and trusting would be so advantageous to a criminal like him, you can both be outwardly one thing and inwardly the other, like secret identities only you two know about
i think he would be quite happy to have someone who wasn't full on or co-dependent in a relationship. he seems like he would have a tendency to isolate himself in his work, so wouldn't feel comfortable with someone who needed to be around him constantly. but parallel play is 100% one of his favourite things, where he can do his work and you can enjoy yourself, and bond silently with each other
god the dry humour, the sarcasm, the absolute silliness of it all, this is literally just him all over. and we're gonna go spooky and nerdy? the man is a total geek who is also a criminal. soul mates
it's difficult, because eddie would 100% be in support of you picking up computer science again. it's one of his beloved skills and hobbies. miss tuesday on the other hand would encourage you to follow mortuary science. so spooky, so creepy. she'd love it
logical is eddie to a t. and yeah, he can sometimes forget that emotions need to come into play, so if you're there to remind him of that, even better
and what is a riddler without a sense of moral justice? creating havoc is fun, sure, but they're all down to embarass the bat and show their own moral judgements on gotham and it's citizens

So I've been INSANELY busy lately and just caught up on everything from Chapter 4 on, and I stg I am FERAL right now. So, as a fellow writer, I decided to compile a review for each chapter.
Chapter 4 - Alex Burgess deserves to suffer everything Penny had been made to live through and more. I would very much like to tuck Penny in a blanket and give her cocoa and cuddles.
Chapter 5 - The way he MOURNS her! The way his every other thought is her! The way he adores her so clearly despite not having ever even spoken to her! Also, I love the idea of Johanna as a friend.
Chapter 6 - All of the Endless (Including the Prodigal) AND Mother Night checking in on Penny throughout the years is so fucking sweet to me? Like "Dream cannot guide you now, and we cannot free him, but we love him, as do you. And for that we love you the same." It's just amazing! They aren't a standard family but they still love one another so much.
Chapter 7 - That line about knowing why Lucifer was gods favorite is so smooth, lmao. Dream's introspection on why Nada wouldn't suit as his wife was also cute as hell (pardon the pun.) The gentle way he cares for her is everything, too. The commentary about his battle leathers is 100% accurate, too. He had NO right to look that good.
Chapter 8 - Penny, who has lived easily a hundred years, meeting John, who believes it's his right to force others to live in only the harsh light of truth, was fascinating. I'm also getting such strong Alice In Wonderland vibes from Destiny's maze conversation. And Dream's own protectiveness of Penny is heartwarming. And the way she can shape and revitalize the dreaming is so cool!
Overall - I also love the continuing motif of butterflies with Penny, especially since the name Penelope means 'weaver', as in "One who weaves a new path". This is just such a brilliant story. His willingness to help her and protect her is just everything to me. I cannot WAIT to see more, thank you so much for sharing this amazing story with us.
Oh my god bestie! You just made my night! šŸ˜
Chapter 4 was so hard for me to get through and I cut out A LOT of stuff because it was just so painful and as Penelope's mom basically I literally had this moment where i just scrapped a huge chunk because it felt so wrong to like expose these very painful and very raw moments she had. And I also really truly didn't want anyone to be scarred or anything reading it. And I'm glad I did, I think the little that I gave says enough about what went down. Alex got off easy and its honestly because Dream was just done, he'd thought he lost the last little shred of hope he had and he just wanted to go home and fulfill his final promise to Penelope.
Chapter 5 is still my favorite because I was literally heartbroken writing it šŸ˜… It was so painful to write Morpheus mourning because he feels things so deeply but also so privately. I loved that it felt so natural and so heartbreaking even though they'd never spoken (that I think also added a lot more pain šŸ˜‚). My favorite part of this was when he had to kill Gregory and he was just thinking about how much she would have loved all his creations and how unfair it was. šŸ˜­ Absolutely broke me! But in a piece of Dreams chapter 8 POV that I cut out (I'm going to publish it hopefully tomorrow before chapter 9s release) he has this parallel of that moment that I just adore.
Chapter 6 I am so glad you caught Night! I plan on expanding on that a bit later, but I'm happy someone caught it! The other Endless I loved writing for! Death is 100ā„… like this is my little brothers future wife I'm not letting her go without making sure she's okay first. Destruction is gonna be a big influence on a lot of Penelope's future (chapter 9 will be getting into this) the friendship she has with him is literally so soft and I adore it and so when he leaves her its heartbreaking. Despair I truly didn't know how to do and I felt meh about it but rereading it I think it actually does a great job showcasing where she's at this point in her journey. Desire is a riot! They are so fun to write and I just love all of it! I think for the twins their care is hidden under this "we just wanted to see if it was true" guise but Desire 100ā„… was watching to make sure Pen was safe while she was trying to fill that void and no one can convince me otherwise.
Chapter 7 I love Lucifer's character and I truly wanted to capture that awe Penelope has when meeting them because demons she's seen and they're all grotesque but Lucifer the ruler of hell and demons is just beautiful. šŸ˜© Love it. You can thank @true-queen-of-mischief (and a ton of other stuff because they're amazing!) for the final version of the Nada paragraph because they have a ton of knowledge on the comic books so they helped me workshop that whole things as well as the end with Penelope's mom and her forgiveness of her. Dreams gentle nature is so fun to write, its just so soft and it kills me šŸ„ŗ The battle leathers! šŸ„µ They knew what they were doing with that!
Chapter 8 John needs to be put down a peg and I was more than happy sending in Penny because she knows a power hungry asshole when she sees one. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø And yes! I was absolutely going for the Alice in Wonderland vibes with that scene! Destiny is going to be featured again because I literally find him so fascinating among other reasons.
Oh my god! You're picking up on some of my foreshadowing and I love it!!!! šŸ¤­šŸ˜šŸ˜© Butterflies, her name, all of it means something which chapter 9 and 10 will be getting into and I'm SO excited for it! It was one of my major ideas for the story and Penny and so I'm so excited to see it come to life and for you guys to get to react to it! I think it's amazing, so I hope you all do too once you find out! But seriously thank you so much! I adore getting to read what you and all the other readers are thinking and loving about the story! I'm so happy knowing you guys are loving it! šŸ˜­šŸ„°šŸ˜

Sorry it took so long Iā€™ve been really busy then there was some family drama šŸ˜…
Kaina-
Everything but mainly her backstory. I love tragic characters sheā€™s the definition of tragedy. I also love her snarkiness and sarcasm especially when she talks to all for one. I know itā€™s cause she was dead inside but I still enjoyed the sarcasm.
I wish she was in the manga more cause sheā€™s the most interesting character to me
That one panel in the lovely lady nagant where she sees the children and her hands covered in blood and that one in 378. (And literally every panel she was in 379 that was the most badass thing sheā€™s done)
Hmmm I donā€™t really have one I really liked every panel she was in.
Not really a situation but we literally know almost nothing about her time in Tartarus not even what her cell looked like. Solitary Confinement fucks people up and definitely is a major reason of why she joined All For One (cough*deadinside*cough)
Several actually Iā€™ll list a few roleswap with Hawks and/or Chisaki. One where she joins the Shie Hassaikai. An au where she didnā€™t explode and ended up teaming up with Izuku. One where the commission still exists so she goes on a revenge quest.
Hawkeye I was actually watching it before I wrote this up and I thought of her when I watched one of the episodes.
I know I talk about InkoNagant a lot but my absolute favorite Otp with her is LadyMight I love their parallels.
InkoNagant
IzuNagant just no.
Hawks, Deku, or Chisaki
She needs hearing aids cause of using her quirk without hearing protections (the explosion from afo did her no favors), she loves plushies like this women has a plushie collection and everything (post war) (besides she deserves a plushie collection sheā€™s been through some shit)
Chisaki-
His character design! I love it so so much! The mask is probably one of the coolest masks Iā€™ve ever seen and his outfit is just šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘ŒšŸ‘Œ
Again how underutilized he is in my opinion heā€™s the best villian and honestly couldā€™ve played a much bigger role.
When he recruits Rappa and the manga panel where his fingers divide the panels.
Hmmm Iā€™m actually not sure Iā€™m not the best at criticism honestly
His past
I was thinking one where he actually gets brought to grandpa yakuza or whatever by Nagant.
Hunter x Hunter
Chronohaul
Nemoto x Overhaul (idk there ship name could be cool I think)
OverDeku (idk why people be shipping deku with anyone)
Nagant
Hmmm Iā€™m actually not to sure Chisaki isnā€™t one of those characters I think about a lot.

what about the raven herself?
Welp, I didnā€™t expect this one šŸ˜… but since you asked, Iā€™ll provide!
***Standard disclaimer: These are just my personal opinions of the character(s); regardless of what I may think of them, sharing my thoughts is NOT meant to offend or to shame anyone that thinks differently.***Ā Do I really need to slap the standard disclaimer on a character opinion bingo about my own OC??????
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Raven šŸ„ŗ my child............................. .. . ....... . .... . .. . .. ......... . . . . .. . .... .. . my birb dotter........... . . . ..... . . . .. ..... . . . .. ... ... . . . .. . . .
Tumblr media
WAHAHAHAH Iā€™m very obviously going to be biased with my thoughts šŸ˜Œ so I hope youā€™re prepared for thatā€”
When I first had the idea for a ā€œblog mascotā€ in late spring-early summer of 2020, I had no idea just how attached to Raven I would be. Contrary to popular belief, sheā€™s not meant to be a self-insert or a Yuusona; sheā€™s an OC with her own lore and she exists entirely separate from Yuu. While Raven isnā€™t a self-insert, she happens to share the same name as my online alias (which I know can get confusing šŸ’¦), and sheā€™s also the type of character whose struggles I can relate to. I only put bits and pieces of myself in Raven, a trait or two here and thereā€”just enough to let me comfortably project my issues onto her. She has difficulty expressing her feelings outside of writing, and she longs for the freedom to do as she wishes, to live without restraintā€¦ and to understand herself. She feels small and helpless in a world thatā€™s dark and confusing to navigate. In a way, writing Raven gives me a chance to explore and to cope with similar real world issues, so she brings me a sense of comfort and hope. (If youā€™re interested in hearing a little more about my OC creation process, Iā€™d recommend checking out this post!)
I had many different inspirations when I was designing her looks, personality, and backstory for a cohesive character. What was most important to me was creating an OC that is both layered and ā€œmakes senseā€. For example, I think a lot of people would describe Ravenā€™s personality as ā€œtsundereā€ā€”but why is that? Why is her personality ā€œtsundereā€? Because she doesnā€™t believe she deserves nice things, and she doesnā€™t think she belongs among humans. Because sheā€™s been betrayed by someone she once trusted, and this reaction is the only defense mechanism she knows. Because her curse may punish her for ever getting too close to anyone. Even her design speaks to who Raven is; sheā€™s trying so hard to emulate Crowley (but more mature), because she doesnā€™t have a clear sense of what her identity is or what her place in the ā€œstoryā€ is anymore, so itā€™s easier to try and be like someone else. Thatā€™s what makes it really fun to design other outfits for her; it feels like Ravenā€™s finally allowed to dress how she wants instead of having to live up to someone elseā€™s legacy. This is totally me playing favorites, but Ravenā€™s really deep šŸ˜Œ and I hope that more people come to appreciate her for that. (Why not check out this post for more about her? Read the Tale of the Cursed Ravenā€”)
I have the most enjoyment writing Raven interacting with other characters. She takes herself so seriously and tries to act like a refined lady, so itā€™s amusing when that plays off the callousness of her peers and it forces the childishness she often hides to come out. Jade is particularly interesting to write with Raven, because almost every conversation between them turns into a battle of wits and seeing who can outsmart the other and get them to break and lower their guard Kaguya-sama: Love is War style. Iā€™d like to think that theyā€™re both getting free entertainment from it šŸ˜‚ With other characters, itā€™s fun to draw contrasts (Kalimā€™s/Rookā€™s/Caterā€™s cheer vs Ravenā€™s reservedness, Crowleyā€™s immaturity vs Ravenā€™s sense of responsibility, L*onaā€™s laziness vs Ravenā€™s hard-working nature, etc.), as well as parallels (she and Silver are both adopted, she and Ortho are both students enrolled under ā€œextraordinaryā€ circumstances, etc.). Iā€™m weirdly proud that I cam write Raven with the other students and interacting with them all so differently, because it makes me think sheā€™s as ā€œrealā€ and as fleshed out as the main cast are; it makes me feel like a mom watching her kid make new friends on the playground with the other children šŸ˜Œ
I know that people usually like to see Raven engage with the Usual Suspects (J word, Rook, L*ona), but I would like more opportunities to have her engage with others in the student body as well. Interacting only with ā€œpotential love interestsā€ makes a character seem flat and like they were invented solely to be shipped with someone else, so I want to expand on Ravenā€™s platonic relationships and friendships. I donā€™t want her to be defined by who she loves, but by who she is as an individual. After all, finding ā€œherselfā€ (aka having faith in herself and in her identity) is a big theme of the Tale of a Cursed Raven, and the ā€œselfā€ isnā€™t defined only by who someone loves, right?
Sometimes I feel guilty about writing Raven and posting it publicly, because sheā€™s a personal character and not a canon one (the latter being what most people come to my blog for). With time, I think Iā€™ve slowly become more comfortable doing it šŸ˜Œ because seeing my friends and my mutuals share their own OC creations gives me more confidence. I hope I can share more of Raven with the world.

Wow I have not posted on Tumblr for the longest time and not sure if I still have followers left. šŸ˜…
Anyway I found a new hobby. I like doing an analysis on characters, chapters, shows, ships etc. that I like. And here is another analysis of one of my favorite ships.
Before I begin a warning is ahead:
āš ļøCW: MHA Manga and Anime SPOILER , bullying, death, mention of hateāš ļø
Bakudeku, one of the controversial ships in BNHA fandom to this day, and I have a very controversial take on this already controversial ship. Something possibly even most bkdk shippers themselves won't all agree.
I think bakudeku was a good ship from the start.
Yes, you read it right. I thought bkdk was a good ship from Chapter 1.
And before everyone starts screaming "Abuse apologist", "why do you like seeing Deku suffer" "He literally told Izuku to kill himself" "He bullied him for years" read the thread through it's entirety. For goodness sake I am not an abuse apologist. As someone who had her fair share of bullying in the past, I will never stand in favor of bullying, EVER!!! Period!!! And Izuku is one of my favorite characters in BNHA, I would not want him getting hurt.
And I am not saying this because I think bkdk will be cannon. I can not pretend to know what Horikoshi will or will not do. Hey, if it becomes cannon it is great and if it doesn't, it doesn't.
I am not here to shit on other ships either and state that somehow bkdk is superior. Everyone got their faves and you are all valid. You are not supposed to agree with me. All I am saying is that the hate it got was misplaced from the start.
Let's start from the beginning. Obviously I am not gonna cover everything, it is not possible. I can write a long novel about this ship at this point but unfortunately I don't have the time.
1. The infamous Chapter 1 where most hate comes from. And I know the obvious, and as I said I will not be an apologist for Bakugou when he himself agrees at this point that he was wrong. And yes, everyone sees this and yet does not focus on the one THING.
The scene that started it all. The scene that convinced All Might to give his power to Deku.
Yes, I mean the sludge villain incident. From what I read, on that Chapter, at that point, Izuku was at his lowest. Even All Might, his hero, told him that he should stop chasing his dream of being a hero. Then Izuku sees someone being attacked by sludge villain and is like "I am sorry I am at fault but a hero will come and save you". Just look at the panel.
Tumblr media
He is horrified and thinking it is his fault yet he is ready to leave it be and wait for a hero come save the day. Again, it doesn't sound like Deku we know, but he is at his lowest here. Then he notices it is Kacchan
Tumblr media
So for a lot of people who say "he could have done it for anyone", maybe you are right but I doubt it. And it would not have been a "my leg started moving on their own" moment (at least that is what I think). As I mentioned before, the prior narrative suggested that he was willing to let it go and wait for a hero. So the fact that the person assaulted was Bakugou, it made him act without thinking.
So let's go to the parallel shall we?
Chapter 285 - Katsuki Bakugou rises. My favorite Chapter in BNHA
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Katsuki, without giving it a second thought, jumps to save Deku. He does not go for the glory, he goes for saving (which is unlike the Baku we know). His body moves on it's own. Could he had done it for anyone? Maybe. Is this moment necessarily romantic? You can argue it is or not. But there is definitely a deep connection between Izuku and Katsuki. And they are mirroring each other.
2. Deku tells OFA secret to Katsuki directly. Many people forget that Katsuki is the first one to know about Izukuā€™s secret because Izuku told him the first. That is how much he trusts him.
Tumblr media
And one thing about Izuku is that he never stopped believing Katsuki and always saw the good in him. Some ppl thought that his admiration for Katsuki was misplaced. But was it really? Looking at where Katsuki is now, I would say the kid was right all along. You could say, he knows Katsuki the best.
Which brings me to the other topic.
3. They know each other the best. They are the closest people to each other.
Izuku and Katsuki are really close. You could say as expected since they have been together since childhood. But if they had a fallout like ppl assume, then why are they still considered the closest people to each other?
Just look at these panels.
Tumblr media
Even villains calls them out on their closeness.
Tumblr media
4. Izuku acts very much out of character when Katsuki is injured in a posessive and overly protective sort of way. They do say love makes you do crazy things šŸ˜‰ šŸ˜‰
Izuku is not someone who will be obsessive or jealous for anyone. He seems like the most understanding person right? Not the kind of person that would get aggressive under any circumstances.
Wrong šŸ˜†
Try hurting Bakugou and see how Izuku will react. I mean look at these manga panels.
Tumblr media
Uhm possessive Deku. Damn. Tokoyami was taken too yet he yells to give him Bakugou back. Also fun fact apperently in Japanese version he uses the word "kaese" which means give (what belong to me) back to me. And compress calls him out on it as well.
Wait but it does not end there šŸ˜³
Blackwhip awakening
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He opened up a quirk just because Bakugou was insulted.
He completely lost it in chapter 285 (Katsuki Bakugou Rises) when Bakugou was attacked.
I can not add any more pictures but I will continue this thread.

tysm for fulfilling my compilation request! itā€™s absolutely perfect. especially because there was a lot šŸ˜… so yea thank you so very much ā¤ļø i greatly appreciate it. for your question: i like dressing up type of shots/scenes in movies/shows, a mixture of wanting to know what fashion brands used within medias, & i tend to have a tendency to pay attention to wardrobes i love in medias so i tend to remember/take notes of my favorites & then i go back and do some research / look up similar images/key words (ex: blair trying on dress) via a search engine to find them/other similarities. it takes some time but i think itā€™s really fun & just the fact i love finding parallels of the most specific things related to my fashion interests
tysm <333
youā€™re welcome nonnie <3 iā€™m so glad that the post matched your expectations!!!
that is really so impressive to me because compiling parallels is probably my least favourite part šŸ„² iā€™d love to be able to make more parallel/compilation/comparison posts butā€¦ if i havenā€™t pre planned it, going back and combing through multiple episodes iā€™ve already watched for moments just feels so tedious x_x
thank you again for your very specific request! i probably would not have been able to finish it without your instructions haha (that post is basically a collaboration to me). if you ever have another such request i def wouldnā€™t mind fulfilling it! we can put your attention to detail / detail analysis + my gif making ā€˜skillsā€™ together lol (only if you want to though! you donā€™t have to feel obligated to help me out)

For the 911 asks; 1, 5, 34, 39, 58 :)
1. What made you start the show?
A few things:
It was a Ryan Murphy show, so I knew it'd be nuts
Angela Bassett was the freaking STAR and I will watch anything she's in
DISASTERS - I'm a disaster movie nut, so I hoped this would fill the gap (because Hollywood apparently doesn't make disaster movies anymore)
I've been watching since the first episode of Season 1! Been here all along, baby
5. Least favorite episode?
I have a few šŸ˜¬
3x16 The One that Got Away - I fucking HATE this episode, I only watch the first rescue and then I skip it. I find it utterly cringeworthy. Pure schmaltz. HATE.
4x08 Breaking Point - Look, I've read a ton of meta about this episode and I get it, but it left such a bad taste in my mouth at the time that I've literally only ever re-watched the scenes where Christopher throws a tantrum, runs away and then Buck talks to Christopher. I eternally hate Ana and I will eternally hate this episode.
4x11 First Responders - Worst episode of Season 4, one of the worst episodes of the show. Fucking hate it.
5x03 Desperate Measures - genuinely don't understand why they needed to drag the blackout over three episodes, don't know why they made the animals the least important emergency and dedicated almost this whole episode to the rapist guy - the only good part of this episode is the last ten minutes where Eddie dumps Ana. I'll probably never re-watch the first 30 minutes ever again.
5x07 Ghost Stories - I hate the Taylor storyline in this. Everything else is fine, except for the lack of Eddie.
5x09 Past is Prologue - Two words - Taylor Kelly. Four more words - can fuck right off.
34. Most badass moment?
The rope rescue at the start of 3x16 (pretty much any time Buck or Eddie is in a harness, ngl). The skydiver rescue as well... the grenade in the leg in 2x01, Ravi walking through the prison alone in 5x06 - idk, there are so many to choose from!
39. Your favorite headcannon?
Buck and Eddie spend tons of time together outside of work, and through the pandemic Buck was pretty much the only non-family member Eddie and Christopher saw because he was in their bubble. He also knows where everything is in Eddie's house and he has the kitchen organised the way he likes.
58. Favorite parallel?
I suck at this. Everyone else notices and makes gifsets and I'm like, wow, that's amazing! I can't even think of one right now šŸ˜…
