Starlo's personality
I'm still confused about this man's 'true self,' gotta admit. How much of 'himself' IS there in 'North Star'?
What we know about real Star:
He's a nerd/geek obsessed with westerns; that's where he got the inspiration to build WE
He looks different than with the hat on and used to wear braces
Was shy in his teenage years around Ceroba (no idea how he acted normally) + couldn't confess to her
His mom (after killing him) says how he's never been the one to follow rules. I wonder what she meant by that. Rules, like, you're supposed to hate humans like everyone else or rules, like, no sneaking off to practice your shooting and lasso skills? Both?
Ed describes the 'old him' as a fearless leader and as a monster who could 'make his own fun in the little things' (you mean he used to be more humble but at the same time remained an ambitious risk-taker?)
Is insecure about where he comes from and what he looks like
We don't have enough info to know what he was like as a kid. I'm curious if absolutely everything about North Star is the opposite of Starlo (I don't think it is); both are kind and protective. Still, I can't help but wonder if the Starlo after Showdown, in both routes, is the real him or not. Maybe 50% yes and 50% no
Just from the end credits, the only thing I got about him was that he's kind and friendly and optimistic and charming (North Star is this way too, but more exaggerated). Nothing new
So maybe Starlo IS North Star, but more modest (aka not as exaggerated)
I'm curious about your thoughts guys.
Also I forgot to mention how he wanted to plan a PARTY for Kanako, in neutral says that the PARTY in the saloon was great (and the letter he sent was pretty charming), wants to accompany Ceroba in the Steamworks, is open about how he feels (immediately openly confronts Ceroba and calls her out; he's assertive), not afraid to get physical if it means protecting Clover & Martlet, can be pretty loud (like when he spotted Clover after sparing him in neutral, he was like "DEPUTY!!!"
I'm left wondering if all this is the real him or not. I think it is. Just maybe toned down a bit :) It's the only explanation for the fact he's been doing all this for a really long time and never showing signs of wanting to stop/that it exhausted him

Rudy with a jealous s/o? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I NEED THISS
Hello! Here you go!
Rodolfo with a Jealous!S/O
The moment he sees you’re jealous he’ll chuckle a bit but also be a bit worried. It’s nice to see that you like his attention enough to want it most of the time, but would he really be able to calm you down from your frenzy? He most likely could, but the worry is still there. At first he’d be a bit apprehensive about approaching you, especially if you’re being snappish and keep hinting at you being mad at him for spending time with someone that wasn’t you. If this doesn’t happen very often he wouldn’t know what to do, but if you’re a very jealous person and it keeps happening then he’ll have a talk with you. It’s not particularly fair to him that you always snap at him whenever he spends time with his teammates or friends, so he’ll sit you down and discuss your behavior and how you can both improve yourselves. Communication is very important to him.
If you don’t get jealous as often, then he’ll approach you after a bit and ask you what’s wrong. It’s up to you whether or not you honestly respond to him, but he’d much prefer you being upfront and honest with him. He won’t really know too well what to do if you just keep lying to him, pretending that you’re alright. Rodolfo will, however, take you to a secluded place if you’re out somewhere together and just talk to you. While he may not be the biggest fan of PDA, he would give you a small kiss, either on your lips or your cheeks, maybe even a hug if you’re especially mad, and apologize to you. He knows it likely isn’t his fault, but maybe an apology could calm you down. If it’s late and he’s been with his friends for a while now anyway then he could make time to just leave, especially if nothing important is going on anymore and the main events and conversation topics are over. However, if he has to stay for a bit longer, then he’ll apologize again, but promises you that you’ll be going back home soon enough.
Once you’re back home all of his attention is on you, if you want that. If you prefer to be left alone then he will let you be, but will check up on you once every hour and ask if you’re doing alright. But if you don’t want that then he’s more than happy to talk with you, or spend time with you in general. You wanna cuddle? Play a video game? Bake some cookies? He’s not opposed to any of those things. Because, truth be told, you being mad but quiet sort of scares him. He has to deal with loud, angry soldiers almost on a daily basis, so he knows how to put someone in their place if they’re being openly aggressive. Therefore you being so quiet is very worrisome and he’ll be on edge this entire time. As soon as you laugh again he knows he did something right, though. That’s the goal: To get you to calm down and smile, maybe laugh even. But he knows that, at the very least, it will likely be over by the time you both wake up again in the morning. If he can, then he’ll spend the next day with you. Or at least as much of it as he can.

I have such a soft spot for the women in period dramas.
You have the protagonist, the one that’s not afraid to speak her mind, fight against the norm, be herself and is fiercely independent, and goes off on this epic love story.
But I realised from a very young age I was the other kind of woman. The side characters who go through the motions doing everything they’re supposed to do. They excel in everything they can to maintain a certain kind of peace for themselves and their family, and then, when they’re ready, get married off and have kids and that’s the end of their story.
The protagonist gets the love story that the other woman always wanted. It always made me so sad, because it wasn’t in me to speak my mind. I’m shy and awkward and afraid of disturbing my peace, so I’ve always just done what I was supposed to do, and I’m yet to have that great love story. The love stories I tried to have were for the sake of having them, so I didn’t fall behind.
I have such a soft spot for that woman. She dreams big, is often naive and wants this great love to come and rescue her. She wants children, not because society asks her to, but because it’s something she has genuinely always wanted. But because of the way society operates, she’s afraid to voice those dreams lest it ruin the comfort she’s found in her own silence.
I’m a Beth. I knew I could never be a Jo or an Amy, but I wanted so badly to be a Meg. Meg March made me so happy, because we both wanted those same things: to be beautiful and to be noticed, and to find true love and settle down and have the life we always wanted. I have dreams, but I see no reason why I can’t achieve both.
But I’m a Beth. I’m shy, awkward and going through the motions, clinging onto my childhood and praying it doesn’t go away, and I’m only my truest self around my sister.
I’ve seen so many films and read even more books where the other woman is described as uninteresting and boring because she’s soft spoken and doesn’t speak her mind. The only time she was described as anything else was if she was beautiful, which I didn’t believe I was growing up. So I had nothing going for me. There was never, ever a protagonist like me in a love story. Not a single one.
So when I write, I put a lot of my shy and awkward self into my characters, because I want to believe that I can have that great love story too. That I can be loved even if I don’t stand out in the crowd, even if I’m not stubborn and outwardly a fighter, and that I can be the lead love interest in someone else’s story.
I know I’m young and have so much time, but I truly I hope one day my Meg March dreams come true. It’s not because I’m boring or settling, but because I want to. It’s my dream. To find love and start a family. And that doesn’t make me uninteresting or lack a personality, it makes me happy.

Okay, tumblr... I am not much of a shipper. In fact, I don't even engage in typical fandoms.
However, there is no way I can continue going through the last few weeks of school without getting this off my chest:
Pencak Silat Kid and that girl in the gym are soulmates and you cannot tell me otherwise.

♡ - romantic headcanon
Hawu'li is very romantic person, and will happily drown his partner(s) in pda or very cheesy gestures if they so choose. He'll happily pen them love letters or cook romantic candlelit dinners for date nights, walk everywhere holding hands or cuddle under a blanket while watching sunset together.
However, he's pretty bad at noticing anyone flirting with him. Anything subtle and he'll just think you are being nice and friendly. It even took him a while to realize Haurchefant was into him, to give some perspective.
His love language is definitely physical touch, but he'll show his love in any way possible. Words, gifts, helping out, anything goes. He's not shy about showing he cares about someone.

Good morning lovely people! Oh my god I'm having the best introvert day at work ever 😆 this HUGE building, that is always packed to the brim with rowdy chaotic people and keeps me constantly overstimulated and overwhelmed, is SO empty I can hear the cars driving on the rain soaked road, someone's JBL something connecting with their signature chime, and someone eating something crunchy on another aisle.
