Van der Linde Isaac - "CoS is actually a western" is such a concept ever since i saw somebody pointing that out i kept thinking about it
i rant about the redesign a bit:
so i went ahead and redesigned him to fit the rdr2 setting entirely, i cant give him a full on wolf arm, so i gave him burn scars on his face, that he hides all the time with a scarf or a bandana. hat in the back to replace the hoodie's shape. he is most comfortable using the rolling block rifle plus a knife. he would probably play a lot of five finger fillet.
plus, he gets his arm blown off at one point (not from finger fillet!! i swear), probably during the saint denis robbery, then dies during the guarma chapter, bc there is no way he would survive longer than that
also i cant have him choose sides at chapter 6 when i know he has blind loyalty

A poster found within the ruins of an ancient university depicting the structure of an iterator puppet.
"Alright arthrohomuncularia students here we have a diagram of the ventral view of an iterator puppet's endoskeleton, the structure that acts as an armature and protects the gooey bits inside!
[lore ramble once again]
As you may know, iterator puppets dont have the same organs we do, as those are externally sourced. However, they do possess a very simple circulatory system of hemolymph, with a set of "hearts" to pump it around. I doubt any of you have actually touched an iterator puppet, but they do have a heartbeat!
The hemolymph is a fluid medium based on a specific strain of [...] sourced from the Void Sea and transports nutrients to the ganglia, or one of the iterator's many "brains." The puppet has two types of ganglia: a central cerebral ganglion and several smaller ganglia used to articulate the joints.
Like their laborer relatives, the endoskeleton is very darkly colored, protecting the insides from high energy. Even though puppets are never actually exposed to the elements, this use of dark coloring is shared by nearly all surface species, due to the high UV output of our sun.
Now to move onto the source materials and enbryonic configurations of the developing endoskeleton. . ."

Current Top 10 Taylor Swift Songs
I've been brainstorming this list since I saw @nayeonline's post ranking Taylor's albums! I've been a fan since Red, though I remember owning her albums before that one came out (I was very little back then!!), and since 2020, it's been fun to see people start appreciating her stuff again after years of "ew who likes Taylor Swift???"
some of these have been unchanging favorites for as long as i can remember and aren't likely to go anywhere anytime soon (specifically 1, 2, & 6), while others could be switched out depending on my mood! i also have very strong memories attached to a lot of them, so please forgive me if i sound less lighthearted than usual :)
Clean (1989)
I listen to this one religiously--I'm pretty sure this is what healing sounds like.
2. Holy Ground (Red, Taylor's Version)
My go-to karaoke song, because I've had the lyrics burned into my brain for years now. I love the high of the bridge (BUT I DONT WANNA DANCE / IF IM NOT DANCING WITH YOU), I love whatever the cool shiny sounds are that were added to Taylor's Version.
3. I Think He Knows (Lover)
Actually one of my reasons to live.
4. Cruel Summer (Lover)
I still remember the first time I listened to this one, walking my neighborhood at sunset. In that moment, I finally got to feel like one of the most embarrassing, terrifying times in my past, one I still hate to share, was seen, and known, and okay. I don't know that this song will ever lose its grip on me.
5. Sparks Fly (Speak Now)
A classic. The comfort food of Taylor's music.
6. Gorgeous (Reputation)
I love these lyrics, and Taylor's performance of them only makes me giggle harder! In my book, you can never go wrong with synth, either. This is my light, frivolous crush song to make sure the nights don't get too dark, or the yearning too desperate.
7. The Archer (Lover)
I just have to put this one on here because of how frequently I find myself listening to it, and quoting it, and singing it in my head. It's not really an attention-grabbing song, but it sticks regardless.
8. Out of the Woods (1989)
The attention-grabbing song. I can't look away from its spectacle, and that bridge is all the catharsis I need to make it through the day.
9. Delicate (Reputation)
Moody, atmospheric, perfect dance-pop.
10. I Wish You Would (1989)
Speaking of perfect moody dance pop--synthwave-esque yearning song for my coming-of-age movie midnight driving sequence.
Plus some old(er) favorites: The Story of Us (Speak Now), Treacherous / The Lucky One (Red), All You Had To Do Was Stay / Wildest Dreams / How You Get the Girl (1989), I Did Something Bad (Reputation), My Tears Ricochet (folklore)

i havent been into it for too long but im kinda surprised i havent seen a harrykim good ol classic florist and tattoo artist au
like yeah im not so sure how the logic of either of them being in those proffessions would work but im talking mostly aesthetics here
like. harry being a florist just. does something to me. like when kim is like he needs hobbies if you get the gardening gloves he suggest gardening is just very good. maybe its a bit of like instead of becoming a teacher first hes a florist first and stays there. or when he was a teacher they had some of a garden in there and he learned and then maybe got a part time job at a florist to support him on his teacher salary bc those usually arent enough. also i think he still has at least some of his adiction issues but not necesarily to the in game level (maybe amphetamines to be able to keep up with his lifestyle also maybe he grows weed but less relevant until later). and maybe he actually got to marry dora and is actually divorced here. working too much, not making enough money, and when back at home hes still an addict, maybe the relationship lasted more but still it never got good enough to keep.
and kim... theres a few options. either undercover just being on the tattoo shop somehow which is like. not the most sense making but still a possibility. or.. he never became a cop, either, got too disappoined by the system early on, noticed the injustice, but realized that it didnt matter what he did it wouldnt be enough. or he did join the rcm for a bit and then quit bc of that, maybe also eyes died in here too and that was the last straw for him leaving. maybe hes not necesarily the guy doing the tattoos, but more of the designs and piercings (i assume its a million times easier doing piercings than tattoos. i dont mean that it doesnt require a technique too tho but getting a needle through skin for a piercing seems easier than having the pulse to work on a permanent piece in someones skin with specific pressure with consistence, and if he was a cop and quit maybe he has shakier hands.... idk. i dont know how stuff like this works generally ngl. also idk. can you have a tattoo.. parlor? and do designs but not the tattoos themselves? id assume you can but no idea)
ok yeah something like that maybe. and also the shops are either side by side or right across the street. i can imagine harry walking through the tattoo parlor and looking at the designs and looking at a few plant based designs and liking them and just. going in. not exactly for a tattoo or anything but more to like. know how it is and maybe meet the artist and then he sees kim which i imagine with a lot of tattoos and piercings which is sort of whats fueling this at this point bc i wasnt gonna think about it for too long but now im too deep into it and like i imagine this kim as.. kind of distant as he tends to be, will try to hide the fact he was a cop bc at this point hes not proud of that, he just likes making designs while listening to speedfreaks fm, which you can hear from outside the parlor while walking on the streets, but he is cool, and if you talk to him he will talk to you, hes just maybe awkward but also he is kinda weird (which has harry like ���👈)
and this was just going to be me saying "man i havent seen any of this" and instead i sort of made my take on it and it got longer than i expected. anyways!!!

Splatoon-ified Jeremy Fitzgerald
Next is probably gonna be either Evan or Michael, both Inklings that are altered by mammalification or sanitization, respectively. I have their basics down, I just have to figure out fashion.
Anyway, Jeremy's history is that he was an Elite Octoling and part of Octavio's Wasabi Supply Unit, just like Marina, so he was there during the first battle, Agent 3 vs Octavio. He, too, heard Calamari Inkantation and decided he couldn't live under Octavio's rule anymore, so he left as soon as he could, dragging Cassidy, his sister, along with, and made her listen to the Inkantation as soon as he could.
He used his experience with being an Elite Octoling in Ranked matches, becoming a professional and getting a lot of money. As soon as he felt he had enough for him and Cassidy to live comfortably, he quit playing ink-based games in general, as it tended to just remind him of the days under Octavio's rule.
He moved to Splatsville in 2020, hoping to find himself in a much quieter and calmer city than Inkopolis.
Unfortunately for him however, the chaos decided to follow.
