idk if someone else has already said this but i really wanted to thank you for keeping the body/facial hair (and body type) on your genderbends, ive never seen anyone else do that before and it gives me so much comfort🥹🥹, ik it probably isnt what you aim for but GNC trans people in general give me SO much comfort and seeing your art really makes me feel so seen, thank you so much 💗💗
Ahh! This was such a lovely thing to receive! I'm really happy I can help others be seen in my silly doodles, rather on purpose or not
Tumblr media
and hey if peppino and anton can be hc'd as trans men, I don't see why peppina and antonietta can't be hc'd as trans woman :)

"The Other Woman"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
synopsis: its a mean one. gojo is cheating on his girlfriend with you and the guilt of sadness of it all is starting to hit you. practically a flashback and a psychological breakthrough contemplating why you tolerate his shit. but whether you continue to is an entirely more difficult question.
content: smut, jjk x reader, cheating gojo satoru x reader, vaginal sex, rough, hair pulling, unprotected, gojo on top, angry sex, dom, angst, asshole gojo, etc idk i dont write smut often lmao
for clarification; gojo would NEVER cheat, at least that's what I think. uh I just had this really neat, angsty idea linked to this song, and I know how to write gojo better than any other character. granted, toji or most definitely sukuna would fit better, but again, don't know how to write those characters as well. i also think this is a very poor interpretation of gojo and his personality, but it cruely exposes his flaws related to being a little boasty f-boy. hope it doesn't disappoint too much, i am not an experienced writer <3
deepest apologies for any typos and grammatical errors. literally editing this at 1 am ♡
word count: 1,526
Tumblr media
As much as you hated thinking about it, you were undeniably the other woman. You were the woman Gojo would sneak out of the room to text once his girlfriend fell asleep. You were the woman he would call when he got lonely and sad. You were the woman he would take out on secret dates across town. And, of course, you were the woman Gojo would ruthlessly fuck at the local motel. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Fuckkk” Gojo would greedily groan as he slid his thick member in and out of your squelching hole. “You're nothing like her…” He chuckled to himself in awe as his grip on your hips tightened. 
“So- fuckin’ tight~!” He bared through gritted teeth.
You shifted your weight slightly, burying your head down into the sheets with furrowed brows. Your long locks of hair fell loosely over your shoulders, draping down over your forehead. You only hum lazily in response, a bored expression on your face as he pounded into your little pussy. 
God, he felt painfully good, but you hated when he compared you to her. You hated the way it made you think too much. And for awfully too long. Your eyes drifted off into long, angry thought. Gojo noticed this, and he also hated when you weren't receptive to him.
He had you bent over on your stomach,  breasts smushed against the sheets as his hips rolled against your ass. The man lowered himself to your head, his warm breath tickling your neck. In a swift motion, he moved his hands toward your stomach and pressed firmly, pushing himself deeper inside you. His thrusts soon became rough and intentional… like he was testing your limits. 
He managed to get a whimper out of you, your face contorting slightly with his change in pace. “Nngh~”
You tried to remain nonchalant though, turning your face away from him, not letting him see your arousal. 
With the hand that wasn't clenching your stomach, he pulled a large chunk of your hair to the left, forcing you to meet his piercing eyes. They were narrow and.. almost dark with deep passion.. anger.. whatever it was your actions made him feel. 
“Not feelin’ it hon?” He questioned with only slight irritation in his voice. 
"Am I doing a crap job, hm?” He asks in a low voice, humor and frustration swirling into one. 
Both of your heads were bobbing up and down with the intensity of his thrusts, heavy pants accompanying that. Still, he managed to stare into your soul as awaited your response. The room was filled with nothing but the sound of skin slapping and the reserved whimpers you let out through tight lips. 
You avoided his eyes, closing them while trying to endure the pain. Each thrust sent him further inside you, his hips barely moving away from yours. It's like he was nearly locked in place with you, his hips bucking back and forth, keeping a small distance between your bodies. His grip on your body was tight, holding onto your hair and waist like his life fucking depended on it.
He scoffed at your silence, yanking at your hair again, harder this time, causing your head to whip back. You finally broke, your mouth was open and now loud. He seemed to have reached your core, repeatedly hitting that sweet spot. Each time, you swore you saw stars. It's like he was becoming one with you, his entire size stuffing you grossly. 
“Ah, ah ah!! S-Satoru-nn!!” You pleaded, your voice loud and squeaky, yet barely coherent.
“Don't- fucking ignore me…” He spoke in a low growl, his voice breaking in a similar manner to yours. 
He placed his temple against yours, your foreheads now pressed against each other as his movements grew more sloppy and erratic. His grip on your hair was still tight, practically using it for support as his body moved restlessly against you. Your scalp wss being stressed, strands sure to fall out after it's next brush.
“What's wrong, hm? Before.. I-” He stopped, struggling to speak and fuck you at the same time, “Before I pull out.. tell.. me” He panted heavily in an ugly rhythm with your moans, a lewd melody of slaps and grunts filling the air. 
He was close, you felt him throb inside you, and you were too. Your walls began to enclose, almost trapping him inside your hole. “Tight fuckin’ cunt…” He grunted lowly, chuckling to himself once again at the marvel that was your pretty little pussy. 
You shut your eyes tight as your orgasm neared, mouth gaped open, trying to find the right words. What could you possibly utter to him? You hated that he was in this secret “relationship” with you.. yet you let it fly. Why, though? Speak up, tell him! And so you did.
In broken words and whimpers, “Break.. up with her..” You regretted the words as soon as they escaped your lips, biting your entire lower lip in immediate guilt.
Gojo's hips stuttered a bit, your words clearly catching him by surprise. But you were too lost in the rhythm to stop. You felt a rising sensation in your stomach, a hungry desire to completely let loose everywhere. It was strong, so very strong, and you just needed this orgasm so badly. Your pussy was puffy and throbbing, his large member surely leaving you sore. He fucked and fucked and fucked, that lovely spot being tapped and played with till it went off. Shortly after, you came all over his cock, juices spilling out and dripping onto the bed. He fucked your cunt still, helping you ride out your orgasm as he neared his. Your eyes rolled back, the feeling of being emptied and filled all over again overstimulating you immensely, yet satisfying your desire so beautifully.
He followed shortly after, shooting his load inside you accompanied by the release of your hair, relief washing over the both of you. Letting out a heavy, slutty breath into your ear, he slowed down significantly, gently fucking the mixture of cum inside of you. Your head was soon back on the bed, red from shame and regret at what you said before. However the man simply pulled out and collapsed beside you, both of you simply laying on your stomachs, backs rising and falling with the aftermaths of an intense session. He raised his hand to your head, caressing your scalp in a comforting manner, as to apologize for the pulling and yanking.
He sighed, a worrisome look on his pretty fuck-boy face. “Break up with her?” He whispered.. sounding sad… Sad? 
This asshole, what did he have to be sad about? You were the one crying yourself to sleep every night and eating alone more often than not. And imagine how his girlfriend would feel if she knew? This entitled, pretty asshole.
Your eyebrows furrowed angrily, turning your head to face the white-haired man. “Yes. She doesn't deserve to be cheated on for one, now you're just leading her on. Are you that dense or what?”
His head pulled back slightly in a contorted facial expression, seemingly offended by your comment. But he knew you were right, his eyes drifting away in thought. “You're right… Just.. let's sleep on it.” He sighed, his eyes fluttering shut.
Yeah, he sure did have a habit of putting this off. He'd always find an excuse not to think about it or talk about it.
You huffed, pulling away from his touch and rolling out of the trashy motel mattress. “No, that's your decision.” 
He pissed you off, his eyes fluttering open again and stupidly following you with the dumb puppy face. You ignored him though, limping your way to the bathroom with a change of clothes. 
Took a piss, showered, and changed within the next 20 minutes, you stepped out fully clean and refreshed. You dried up your hair a few feet away from the bed, Gojo watching your every move. Your face was scrunched up and angry, hating the fact that he was looking at you so desperately right now. Why'd you even let him fuck you? 
“I'm going home,” You grabbed your bag and phone, heading for the door.
Without even realizing, Gojo was rushing out of bed, quickly stumbling toward you, “Fuck do you mean? I'm not driving you back over right now..” He leaned against the door frame butt naked, dick hanging loose and head tilted sideways.
You pushed his chest lightly, “Put some clothes on, get some sleep. I'll take a bus or something.” Again, you turn away from him, heading for the door knob.
Gojo's hand grabbed your arm, tugging you softly. “Why are you mad… baby… you know how this goes..” He practically pleaded, a tired and worn out expression on his stupid face.
“Cut it out, please I'm done Satoru I'm tired of feeling like shit every day.” You threw your head back, sadness and anger finally broke through. 
“I'll cut her off, okay?” He spoke quickly and firmly, almost as if just to shut you up. After that, it was all a blur.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That day though, you fell for the facade, running right back into his arms, climbing right back into that bed, and continuing to be just the other woman.
Why you still do it? For the thrill? For the love? You sat for hours thinking about it, writing about it, crying about it. You almost told his girlfriend a couple of times. You have countless pages saved in your notes explaining everything to her, yes everything. But your heart and soul know you won't ever tell her, better yet jeopardize the “relationship” you have right now. 
“Hey love…” He would greet you, caressing your cheek and brushing through your hair with his pale slender fingers. “You're so beautiful baby… I don't deserve you.” He smiled warmly at you, love genuinely radiating from his body.
Was any of that real? He was right though. A cheater doesn't deserve you. But you weren't any fucking better that's for sure. You're not sure when this will end, but damn you hope it ends with you finally being content and happy. No longer, the other woman.

This is my interpretation of Keegan P. Russ luvlies!!
Man I've seen people talk about how they were disappointed when they saw his face so I draw him in my style instead. Literally had to trace his facial features so y'all can see what I see 😘
Let's talk about his face— Okay, some may say that I might've draw him a little older than how he old he actually is(?) But that's just how I view him as. Let's be real here this man is almost in his forties, fucking tired from his job, too. The fuck y'all expect? A role model 😭??
Though from how I draw him, he may look a little similar towards Blooms, can you blame me? I traced it and had to at least give Brian some credits for the character. (Ngl he has a big ass forehead, I love it.)
Hair? I like to think that he may, or may not get it buzzed, but either way, I like it. In my opinion, this man has very thick silky hair yet often keeps it trimmed due to his job requirements. Man barely gets contact with ANY necessary products for his body nor hair in a normal daily basis
Little plus— I think he would have a pretty jawline, but I can't say it's the most visible, though. But you can still feel it whenever you caress his handsome face. I have a feeling his facial hair also grows fast, so he shaves it almost every(?) morning to keep it neat. Sometimes would forget it, though. You know what's his reminder? The amount to discomfort he feels once he puts his mask on, man can't even complain shit cus he knew it's his fault for forgetting (poor bebe) I also wanted to add his tattoos, but still don't know how to unfortunately :(( Think it's more of tentacles and as for his leg, i can say there's a cobweb design but can't really see the rest.
Also this is how I would see him if he hasn't buzzed his hair yet 👇👇👇
Tumblr media
I'd also like to address that the HCs are from a friend of mine! I have spoken to one of the artist where my friend got the inspiration from, and wanted to give credits to them!
Credits to: @moosch !!
You should check out their content about this man (or about the Ghosts), too! To me (+ my friend) their HCs of him are very accurate!!

An Alastor redesign!!
alright i have many thoughts abt this funny fella. keep reading for the design process + lots of ideas
ok so. i think he has too many "themes" going on - deer, radio, voodoo, shadow powers, tentacles, deal making, the list goes on. To have a balanced character one must make their "deal" clear and stick to only a few themes! So, based on that i chose to focus on the radio and deer aspect and then sprinkle some of the rest here and there.
To start, i wanted to make the main themes - radio and deer - crystal clear from his appearance. So i gave him some bulky headphones, similar to the ones radio hosts would use when broadcasting (and he's always broadcasting! more on that later) and painted his skin in deer-like patterns (freckles like deer spots!!! cute). i also gave him antenna/radio towers for his deer antlers.
Secondly, i got rid of his hairstyle and ears. but those are his main thing! i know but look it just doesnt fit much. Alastor is a mixed polite gentleman radio host in the 30's, and his hairstyle should if not directly reflect his past life, at the very least it should hint at it, and that bob cut is way too modern. what about the ears then? personal biased choice, really.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i played around with multiple ideas, throwing shit at the wall and seeing what stuck. i liked the idea of his hair having some curls like an old telephone wire and tried to mix that somehow with popular hairstyles for men in the 30's. don't mind the quality of the sketches
Next, his outfit! (the picture has the outdated hairstyle, which i changed cause i thought it didn't fit his gentleman vibe, despite really liking how it looked)
Tumblr media
most of the changes i did were either because of personal opinion or because i had an interesting idea. i also wanted to keep the red suit going so that i did.
i gave his little mic little antlers and also a little "screen" that shows the radio waves it's recording, cause i think that's a neat look. some stripped pants cause it seems it was popular in his time, and his buttons are actually radio dials! i also kept the bowtie.
Alright, for the fun part now! when compared to Vox, who's the tv demon and quite literally a tv, Alastor sure didn't enough radio elements in his own body. so i had this idea, what if he had a radio built into his chest? instead of his voice (or whatever sounds he wants) coming out of his mouth, it would emanate from this radio, still with that old-timey effect he has. i also gave him a radio frequency dial that would change on it's own, maybe depending on his mood or when he's using his powers in a certain way, i havent fully decided yet.
Now, about his powers. most of them would work the same way, with a few tweaks. Since he's mouth-mute and is broadcasting his voice through the radio, i think it'd be cool if he made his voice echo from all nearby speakers - phones, tvs, whatever, he'd hijack them to ensure he's properly heard and grab everyone's attention, using the power his mic grants him. he could also be able to eavesdrop on audio transmitted through radio waves, so no phone calls or tv signals would be safe or private near him. when he wants to reach more people or crank up the volume his antlers would grow, extending the signal's range. with this, when he's angry or wants to look threatening, his antlers would shoot up, feeling like he's shouting at you from every direction. he'd fill the air with static, making your hair (literally) stand on end, and distort the sound around him to make sure only his voice is heard if he wants it to. these moments are when i imagine his frequency tune dial and button-dials spinning erratically on his body.
now onto his shadow and tentacle powers. i felt they didn't quite match his overall vibe BUT since they're such a core part of him i couldn't get rid of them. so i figured they could be like extra power granted to him after he struck the deal for his soul, very convenient and powerful but not entirely his own. breaking the deal would also mean losing that power which could be interesting for him considering how power-hungry he usually is and how truly desperate he would have to be to break the deal anyways. And so, since his shadow puppets (the ones he uses to fight adam and have the wall fixed) wouldn't be his this way, i changed it so they'd look like deer instead! and its part of his own power set. when the souls he owns and he "teared apart" aren't screaming on the broadcast he could summon them in and they'd help his fights out, just like normal.
heres some more sketches!
Tumblr media
as some final notes, after his battle with adam some fun things would happen. with his mic broke and his wound fucking up the radio he has on his chest he'd have no way to broadcast his voice out, which would mean our beloved radio host would be unable to speak until he either fixed his mic or managed to heal up completely. fun stuff :)
thank you if u read all of this or just scrolled for the pictures, im grateful anyway. i want to make it clear i didnt make this redesign to "be better" than the original but rather as a fun creative assignment i gave myself, to enhance what i like about Alastor and smooth out the hard edges. i also wanna say i took inspiration from many things in the community - other redesigns, theories, rambles, they all helped me come up with this one. shoutouts to u all too

Hii i’m the one who asked for the moira hq’s, do you think it could be a nsfw alphabet instead? 😣
NSFW Alphabet - Moira
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex): Shut up, only silence and touch. Moira isn't really a talkative lover when she's intimate. She'll hold you, however she prefers silence, and maybe a couple words of affirmation. If you try to talk to her, expect only hums in reply as she groans tiredly into your neck.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s) Of herself? Probably her hair. Moira takes a lot of pride in keeping her hair styled. Of you? Probably your neck, Moira doesn't do well with intimate eye contact, so she'll bury herself in your neck instead.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically) No, sorry, she is getting the towels. She is kind of a neat freak, also is meh about cum tbh.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs) Loves when you call her doctor in bed, it REALLY gets her going.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?) She fooled around in her younger years, but it's been a while for sure.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying) Lotus hands down. Likes to have you in her lap.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.) Not goofy at all.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.) Up to you reader.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect) For Moira, it's either very romantic (her sense of it at least) or a stress fuck. She will angry fuck you before breaking down in your arms.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon): Rarely, but still does.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks): Bondage, roleplay, use of aphrodisiacs, light degradation.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do) The Lab, office, or bedroom. No and's ifs for buts about it.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going): Calling her doctor, Her own anger sex is kind of an unhealthy channel for that anger tbh she needs to talk about her problems please talk to this woman she needs help, and jaw caresses.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs) I really don't know with Moira, I feel like she doesn't mind the edge of danger, so do expect to be played with a little dangerously. No talking during sex, that is a big pet peve, names and an occasional sentence is ok, but it's a huge turn off for her.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.) Loves receiving it, not too fond of giving it, but she is proficient if you ask nicely of her.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.) Slow and sensual, but if she's angry she is rough with pace. Usually aggressively fast, her nails digging and clawing into your skin as she rolls her hips harshly into yours against her lab table.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.) Nope, not for her.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.) Big risk taker, she lives at the edge of danger.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?) Not long, Moira doesn't have the best endurance, but she'll try.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?) No, she misuses extra lab equipment. She might have a strap or a butt plug, but that's as much as I can think rn.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease) Depends on the mood, if she's feeling a little sadistic, oh yeah.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.) louder than you'd think, loud groans and grunts.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character) Has misused biotic orbs.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes) up to you reader.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?) Mild, once a week?
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards) Normal sex, she falls asleep last, if it's angry sex she collapses on the bed and passes out.

so. i watched the trailers for the A:TLA live action netflix series. i went in expecting nothing, and I gotta admit some parts look intriguing. the casting, the set, the bending, the costuming, all look pretty cool. not a big fan of the cgi or how it always seems to be the dead of night in the fire nation, but i was considering watching the first episode at least, out of curiosity and mild respect.
then I saw Zuko's scar.
Tumblr media
I thought well, it is really dark, I should wait to get a better look at it before totally freaking out.
Tumblr media
are. are you kIDDING ME?
[important: I know nothing about this actor, this aint a dunk on him, I doubt he had a lot of input into his makeup.]
for reference, here is zuko in the OG show.
Tumblr media
zuko’s scar isn’t a fucking bad eyeshadow job. His ear is half-melted. It takes up like 1/4-1/3 of his face. It’s not just his eye - it’s his cheekbones, it’s his forehead, it’s all down the side of his head, boy should not have a second eyebrow! I swear to god if they spend their money animating each individual hair on appa but don’t bother to get something as iconic and central to the series as zuko’s scar right? it'd be like messing up Spock's ears, except real-life people don't have Spock ears and struggle with how they are perceived by society because of it.*
*that I know of. maybe there's a secret Spock ears genetic condition I don't know about in which case I apologize
also... there was this bit. we get a quick flash of this shot
Tumblr media
ok, we know this shot. we've seen this shot. it's the agni kai where zuko gets his scar. note the relative positions of the two people, and what the floor looks like.
then a little later, we get this shot
Tumblr media
it's clearly the same scene. it's ozai burning zuko. but. why is there fire on both sides of zuko? it looks like he's deflecting it. like he's fighting back.
it. it is so so so important for zuko's arc and character growth that he refuses to fight his father in his first agni kai. he shows mercy when ozai does not. he is a child - he does not think to defend himself against his own father. throughout his whole arc, the whole show, but most especially season 1, it is so important to remember that the last time he showed mercy and humility, he literally got burned. that's why he's so aggressive and angry and scared and defensive.
so. why is he defending himself? is this why his scar is less pronounced? because they decided to mess with established history?
maybe we can give them the benefit of the doubt and say this is a different agni kai, or zuko re-imagining how it could've gone, or something, but like. why choose to show this then?
further rant below the cut bc its very long I haven't felt righteous fury this strong in a while
I just. I personally don’t have a facial scar or birthmark or anything, but when Hollywood sugarcoats or makes them look less “gross” or “obvious” it’s a real fuck you to people out there who do have obvious scars, birthmarks, differences, that don’t fall into the neat lines of what is considered “presentable” by the film industry. It’s important that it’s not downplayed bc then the people who see themselves in the original get betrayed by the adaptation that tells them they’re not pretty enough or that they’re “too much” to be seen on tv in live action.
Excuses I have seen thus far (mostly on reddit admittedly)
“They didn’t want to make it look too gruesome so that kids would want to watch it too" Think about that sentiment for 10 seconds, and tell me what it says to people out there who have scars like this. Are they too “scary” to be seen by children? Is their existence automatically PG-13? Something horrible and uncontrollable happened to zuko, and because of that, his life and body are irrevocably changed. People with scars like his who related to and felt seen by his representation and the way he struggles with acceptance, both by himself and by others, will receive the message that can only happen for people with less “gruesome” scars than that. Seriously.
“Of course it’s going to look different in real life vs in animation” Yes, it will. I’m not talking about the appearance of the burn necessarily, but the extent of it. The new series has it limited mostly to his eye. His ear and eyebrow are unaffected, as are his cheekbones and forehead. That is not the case in the animated show. I’m not expecting a big monochrome pink and purple blotch like there is in the OG show - animated visual shorthand is different from live action. But it should look like burned skin. And it should be as extensive as it was - it goes over his ear and eyebrow, and partway down his cheek. the whole point of it is that it’s big and unavoidable and horrifying, and that zuko was a 13 year old kid who didn’t deserve it, but now is stuck with it. That’s war. That’s what ozai is capable of.
“The makeup would be too hard” It really wouldn’t, especially not for something as important to the series as this. Zuko’s scar is central to ATLA as a whole - a symbol of the cruelty of his father and the fire nation, and more importantly his survival and eventual resistance to it. Even if it did take extra time to apply, which I don’t think it would, I’d say it’d be worth it. I’ve seen cosplays and Halloween costumes [and this excellent fan film] without access to a professional makeup and prosthetics team that looked closer to show accurate than what they’ve currently got going.
Let me also point you to examples of both comparable and much more dramatic makeup/prosthetics used regularly (as in every episode, every week, for many years) on 2 shows with smaller budgets, older technology (as in, from the 1990s), and many more seasons: Star Trek: the next generation & ds9
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
trust me. they can do it. this is a choice.
“What it if made it hard for him to act?” See above for examples of other actors in much more dramatic prosthetics crushing it.
"Well at least it's better than the other live action adaptation"
that CANNOT be the bar we measure things by. standing still and doing nothing is also better than getting brained with a shovel: that doesn't mean it's good.
"He has darker skin than the animated Zuko. the burn probably blends in more."
that's not how burn scars work. it's not just a darkening of the skin - the skin itself is fundamentally changed in texture and color. and again, even if the burn has a different general appearance, it should at least be as big and extensive as it is in the OG show, and it's clearly not.
“They probably didn’t want to shave his eyebrow” No, really I saw this as a point on a Reddit post. Drag queens and cosplayers have been making their eyebrows disappear and reappear for decades without access to a professional makeup and prosthetics team. He’ll be fine I swear.

Round 1, Group B: Matchup 4
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ayin vs Cid Kagenou
Reasons for being generic + Propaganda below
Ayin
Reasons:
You know that one mspaint shoulder grip image? It's him in there. They don't know it's Ayin. Also he is essentially written to be the "self insert" protag in his game.
Black hair. Pale skin. His only unique physical trait is his eyes which are like yellow i guess.
you know the black haired guy from this meme (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FukUjzSX0AM7KDR?format=png) that goes around every so often? that's ayin. no one knows it's ayin but it's him. also literally just look at him and tell me he doesn't look like he would fit in while sitting next to kirito sword art online like look me in the eye and say that to my face.
very generic from the black hair, but he has gold eyes and wears a labcoat. his other clone which is Manager X that you play as throughout lobotomy corporation is so so generic that he needs a paper taped to the front of his face to distinguish him apart from ayin. 
They don't know the shoulder grip image is Ayin.
look at him. he's black hair white coat generic shirt pants guy. he's the Shoulder Grip Image Guy but people don't even know it's him 
Messy black hair with bangs?? I'm sorry but it is literally just him. Just a guy with black hair and black clothes in a white labcoat. That is it. Do you know the ms paint shoulder-gripping meme? The guy with black hair with his back turned to the viewer is Ayin. Like I cannot stress enough that the meme was originally created as a piece of badly drawn Lobotomy Corporation fanart. As proof, if you compare the hair to his in-game sprite it is literally just him.
The only colour in this guy’s colour scheme apart from black and white is the gold in his irises and even then in many cutscenes those are hidden. He looks as if some random asshole was chosen from a crowd shot and was forced to become the protagonist that’s how bland this guy looks
short dark hair and white. like, #FFFFFF white. not even joking
Look at him. If you see fanart of him when you're not specifically searching for it you can never tell that it's him because he looks like every other generic male character. (Though I must admit the coat saves him in that regard.) Also [MAJOR SPOILERS] there have been quite a few versions of him running around in some form or another, which could be a plus if you take "generic" to mean "a dime a dozen".
His hair is generic, his clothes are generic, you can see a picture of him and you can never know if it's him or a random scientist without clarification 
Propaganda:
He is frequently mistaken for Kim Dokja (shoutouts if he also gets submitted) from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and I think the fandom overlap between them is very funny. All that aside, I think Ayin is very neat as a character :)
Hes literally just a guy.
The world's most pathetic abusive father. Was too head over heels for a girl so he followed her to the ends of the earth to help fulfill her dreams. She was obsessed with trying to save people and while he didn't really care he wanted to be with her. They did save people for a while but then she "died" and he got like, super obsessive about trying to bring her back. Completely took advantage of the man that was obsessed with him this entire time as they worked to resurrect her. Eventually managed to create an AI implanted into her body only to get pissed off when she didn't have the same personality and mannerisms as she did. Proceeded to refuse to interact with said AI outside of moments where it was absolutely necessary and instead the man that was obsessed with him ended up having to do all the actual work to take care of her. Said AI works at his Delusions Will Murder You Facility to generate a profit for him because why the hell not. Man that was obsessed with him also got turned into an AI because why not. He did all this while looking like the most generic blank slate of a character imaginable.
he looks pretty average and can easily be mistaken for kim dokja from omniscient readers viewpoint if he gets in it together with dokja it would be super duper funny. 
Shoulder grip image guy
I haven't finished playing LobCorp yet, nor have I touched the sequel Library of Ruina, but already I want to dropkick this man.
Iconic for being the guy that’s gripped by the shoulders in that one meme that no one recognises. He’s committed so many atrocities he’s my favourite criminal scientist
this character is so generic that most people dont realize they've even seen him. he's been in 1 or 2 popular memes and nobody registers him as a character they just accept him as a "generic guy". it's a little funny
Just look at him.
Cid Kagenou
Reasons:
He looks like every isekai protagonist ever.
His character is wanting to be that background character who turns out to have been the secret mastermind messing with events and only appearing when it would look the most badass
He has pure black hair and eyes, his hair is at that generic length. When I say the character he reminds me of the most looks wise is Kirito from SAO (who I'm sure is already submitted) doesn't help with looking generic (though it is intentional).
Propaganda:
Please let him win, it's everything he ever wanted. He spends every day purposefully acting like a background character. He's so dramatic and edgy for no reason. He needs this.
This man created a pseudo martial art to be a background character like making the perfect confession that a background character would do and faking his death multiple times by dying tragically protecting whoever he thinks is the current main character I will send you an ask to show pictures 
His whole thing in the anime is that he is living his mob (background character) fantasy due to how unremarkable he is. He has learn the 38 mob techniques making him the perfect blend background character.

Yandere Stobotnik x Platonic Reader Warnings and Talks!
VERY LONG
CW FOR ENTIRE FIC: Kidnapping, Violence, Implied murder, Explicit murder, Swearing, Death, Trauma, and explicit / implicit threatening. I WILL PUT WARNINGS AT EACH CHAPTER AS WELL.
This is mostly going to be me talking about the book's plot and characters in detail, but if you don't want to know what I have in mind and want to go ahead and read, the first chapter should be up when I publish this just know that this(this being the overview chapter) is like ~4.6 pages. 
My hope is that my writing is realistic, the world is not a "perfect world" where the only thing wrong is the Yandere itself. I will try to make it be realistic in how people talk, stutter, need clarification after hearing sentences, have tics (verbal + nonverbal)  and have things wrong with them. A preposterous idea, I know, but I plan on the MC having trauma about Robotnik and [the plot of the book], I plan on people having a reaction out of things. In the second movie, some of what they wanted to do with the human characters honestly sucked, there isn't much of the human reactions to stuff that wasn't played as a joke [Wade being held hostage by a man who is honestly, much smarter than anyone else - it was just played as a joke, I get it, Sonic 2 was a comedy, but I plan on something a little different.] 
Anyway, I have way to many ideas for this, so it's less likely to be coherent the more this goes on unless I can make up my mind. I decided to make this because it's been on my mind and I haven't seen any for this man soo...  I honestly really love Platonic and Romantic Yanderes but Platonic Robotnik has been on my mind lately.
 Y/n ideas: What I have in mind for Y/N is that they are a little ambiguous depending on certain things ( Such as preference [Theatre kid, Band kid, Dog preferring, Cat preferring, etc.] or looks [Hair, Skin tone, Body type, etc.]) But have defined traits as personality goes;  a Chronically online or a bookworm MC, Y/n is in fact going to be a chronically online MC 1, for the fun of it, and 2, because I can't think of a different personality that may go along with the personality that of Robotnik and Stone. MC will also have 2 mental illnesses (both of which I have been diagnosed with) because I know that it will come out in my writing because of my basis of MC, which I reference to myself. I have been diagnosed with OCD, and anxiety.
(OCD has different types, mine is more pattern than cause related, ex: Hyper focus on a pattern [numbers, pages, days, etc.] or if I don't sit in the same spot everyday then I get bad luck. A good example of passive OCD would be Yes Man featuring Jim Carrey ( *Spoiler to Yes Man* as he notices when he says no, he either gets hurt [him falling down the stairs and the dog after saying no to the old lady] or something bad happens, causing him to notice such patterns and develop a fear of saying no). Sorry I just get mad when people say OCD is just washing your hands a lot or everything has to be neat, because they don't know or bother to learn. OCD is more than that, it is about having control in your life.
ANYWAY, as you may have noticed with the previous paragraphs, I tend to break them up according to how long they are or the information given, not 3-5 sentences, I also have a habit of putting a lot of commas in, but to me, they need to be where if you were speaking, you would take a pause because of how the English language is spoken. 
To bring me back to my point of Y/n's character, I said that Y/N would be a Chronically online MC, what I mean by that is they are not so chronically online that they start arguments for the sake of it, more so that they don't know how to talk or interact outside of it, so they bring the internet into their personality by: recreating memes that they found funny in order to seem appealing to the person they are trying to befriend, bringing up things that they found on the internet, specifically talking about fandoms and outside of that, have a hard time trying to talk to people and purposefully bring the subject back to something that they can talk about, and end up being more rude than they mean to because it's the internet, of course there are mean people, so you end up being more rude than you expect in real life because you expect the same hostility that people show online to show in the real world.
On the point of me trying to be ambiguous, I will try to be as ambiguous as I can when writing so that you can leave things to your interpretation of your version of Y/N, such as: "It's a glowstick from one of my performances … " This leaves it up for interpretation as to what performance it was, such as a theatre play, an art show, band show, choir, sports, etc. As to what Y/n looks like, I don't think I particularly care, or will provide such instances minus hair being mentioned occasionally. However, I must mention that I will be having the second language that Y/N knows / is learning is German, so that I don't have to rely on Google translate, I may mess up occasionally though, I am still learning.
I forgot to write the backstory so here's a general overview: Mom + Dad = dead. -So mom dies from a heart attack when you were three, Dad dies in service of the military so then Tom took you in and you have been living there for some number of years, Uh, Age is around 14-15. Smart enough to shut the fuck up when needed but not so smart that they are on Genius levels or anything. Tom, Maddie and Y/n's relationship is loosely based off of me and my parents, just going to force more awkwardness in because Y/n is a technical adoption, however Y/n is comfortable enough to open up, Y/n won't open up about their imposter syndrome or call them "Mom" or "Dad" because Y/n still misses their biological family.
I think that's it on Y/N for now.
Robotnik ideas:  Of course Robotnik will be OOC because of the nature of Yandere, but I will try to keep to both my idea of this version of Robotnik and the Fandom's version. In my head there is a clear difference between the two movies and their versions, The first movie version has a poised, regal villain, that slowly delves deeper into rage as the one opponent, one enemy of his that will not die (and also the fact that Sonic can be the one thing that can power the machines without needing batteries or man made electricity, thus creating the world that Robotnik wishes to have, a world with just him and his machines, but Sonic won't let that dream be fulfilled no matter how "righteous" the dream is.) - based off of previous aggression issues stated before from Robotnik threating Tom, as well as the bully and the one dude in the bar. The second movie, however, is much different in the way that he feels like a villain that has now had everything taken away from him and he is now on his last nerve and has snapped at some point in time. 
Stone Ideas: Of course, it'll be easy to stay with my version of Stone because a lot of fans agree that Stone is in love with Robotnik, this make him an easy character to stick with, especially with so few lines compared to others related to the plot.
Plot/ notes to keep me on track and not go off the rails with a sonic fanfiction 
This will go through both Movie 1 and Movie 2. 
We have some set up in the first chapter, show people what it'll look like with Y/N in the movie, also show what it was like with Y/N there, show some of Y/n personality and show off the personality with the rest of the cast. I guess Sonic shows up too-?. 
So Y/n is more of a scaredy cat; instead of Y/n constantly being 'sassy' to Robotnik or Stone, Y/n understands the amount of danger that they are in -especially after Tom is labeled as a domestic terrorist.- and would rather come out of this relatively trauma free which leads to Y/n being more of a doormat then intended. 
This means that Y/n will be quiet and less outspoken after a certain point because Y/n knows when to shut up and be a people pleaser - this does not mean that Y/n is submissive, just smart enough to shut up. 
After the interaction with Tom, Y/n gets scared of Robotnik a little, it is kinda scary to see someone who just threatened to torture your parental guardian, and seeing them have the power to call someone a domestic terrorist, therefore the ability to do virtually whatever to the little town or the people in the name of protecting the country, you of course, wish to not piss said person off, which kickstarts a little portion of why Robotnik gets obsessed with Y/n and Stone.
Something that I noticed about the second movie is that no one seems to care that Stone, someone who is working for the government, actively tried to kill the blue blur, gets to stay at town and everyone's fine with this? Sonic doesn't have any aggression or grudges against someone who wanted to take him apart? No, not in my fanfiction.
My apologies if you made it this far, I realize that I went Essay mode on this stupid sonic fanfiction. Thank you for reading (or scrolling) this far down. :)

any tcm character(s) +✂️ for a hair-themed headcanon
are there any hairstyles you think the characters would suit? who is the most high maitenance when it comes to hair? or if you wanna go nasty... any thots on body hair?? (you don't have to answer these specifically im just throwing ideas around lol)
send me a thematic headcanon
oooo I love this one!! sorry it’s so long but I love this like this, my lil brain gets so excited
JOHNNY has definitely tried a short back and sides, and also would have absolutely tried (and kinda rocked) a mullet — but he’d just go back to his usual hair style because hes used to that the most and he knows how to style it without much effort. I definitely think he’d suit the mullet / rocker style though
HITCHHIKER doesn’t really do much with his hair but he’s the type that’d kinda end up suiting a top knot in a crackhead type of way, yk? he occasionally ties up his hair anyway because of it being so warm and when he’s working on making traps n his hair gets in his way and he kinda looks good, so I definitely think after awhile he’d suit it, but his hair is too much his style to change up that much
SONNY definitely would suit growing his hair out and having more of an afro, which he’s definitely done, and honestly I think he’s the character that suits the most hair styles and changing things up for sure
JULIE would suit having like a long bob type haircut, especially with her cute bangs and maybe some layers thrown in, but she’d probably end up hating it because she can’t braid it anymore or get it out her face properly so she’d probably just stick with her long hair
family side of the most high maintenance is definitely JOHNNY, he prides himself on his appearance and because of him going out to pick people up, he alwaaays makes sure he looks good. when it comes to victims, I think JULIE would be the most high maintenance, simply because of where she grew up and because she also prides herself on how good she looks, she definitely always needs to make sure her hair looks good, it’s one of her most important things I think!
oooh, okay i love talking about body hair (I know that’s sooo weird ;-;) okay so when it comes to everyone I’m just gonna bullet point them, is that too much detail? 😭
COOK : he doesn’t do ANYTHING, he’s old and tired, he doesn’t gaf anymore, and even in his youth he wouldn’t have done anything
BUBBA : okay we all know bubba, leave him alone
HITCHHIKER : I honestly don’t think hitchhiker has that much hair, he doesn’t have a load of leg hair, but he has a lot of armpit hair that stinks because my man doesn’t wash his arms properly 😭 also definitely has thick pubes but not too bushy, yk?
SISSY : she actually grooms herself pretty well surprisingly, she just doesn’t always keep on top of it, she shaves her legs and under her arms if she’s wearing something that shows her arms!! when it comes to pubes she trims and keeps it looking neat but she has pride in her bush
JOHNNY : mans kinda hairy, a little chest hair, decent bit of leg hair, but he does shave and manscape! shaves his armpits pretty often, and he doesn’t shave down there but he trims it a lot to keep it nice and neat
NANCY : she’s also old and tired, doesn’t really care to shave the hair she has left, which isn’t much, and she never really shaved much other than the lower half of her legs and occasionally her armpits
CONNIE : she’s hit and miss with it, she doesn’t mind doing it occasionally but she doesn’t go out of her way to do anything. she’ll shave her legs the most often, because she’s always wearing shorts, but her armpits and pubes are a different story. also I headcanon connie with hairy arms that she doesn’t shave because she doesn’t mind having the slightly darker hair on her forearms n she kinda likes it!
LELAND : shaves his chest, with whatever hair he manages to grow, but then he doesn’t really touch the rest of his hair — unless it gets so wild it annoys him, then he’ll trim it up but that’s it honestly
ANA : she didnt really care about it all that much but she shaves because of cheerleading, trims the bits that can’t be seen but when it comes to pubes, she kinda likes having the full bush
SONNY : let’s his hair grow, occasionally trims his pubes but not often, he likes his natural hair and thinks he looks good with it (he does). he doesn’t have loads of leg hair, but still enough, and he has a little bit of chest hair — definitely has a great happy trail too
JULIE : trims and shaves and plucks everything super often, likes how it feels afterwards and just likes how she looks like that
DANNY : trims his armpits and pubes occasionally but leaves everything else, he’s not really that bothered but he likes to keep himself “cleaned up”

8-Man vs. Cyborg 009 - Volume 2
Love a good 2 volume, short read every now and then. Unlike BGOO Parts, this one didn't outstay its welcome. Nothing ground breaking here, just some crossover fanservice like in the Devilman crossover. Fun times. Interested to see what's next for these franchises.
Ch. 7
8-Man tells Joe and Francoise about his past romantic drama with his secretary Sachiko. Francoise apparently "saw" Sachiko's presence when they were in 8-Man's office and wanted the tea lol.
If they're not gonna let Francoise fight, like ever, can they please introduce another female fighter or something? I'm getting really fed up watching her smile blandly on the sidelines or be a damsel in distress. Like if she's a pacifist, fine! But she's also the only girl cyborg so it feels insulting.
The two page spread of the demon God statue was a good jump scare. Let the final showdown, begin!
Ch. 8
Lol I guess the manga heard my complaints because they finally let Francoise shoot a gun at least. Also, her heightened senses finally did something useful. Alright, fine. You win this time mangaka...
Wait, what the hell!? Pyunma's back to his old racist design! THIS MANGA CAME OUT IN 2020 WTF??? (Good thing I didn't pay for this one lol).
Honestly, it seems ridiculous that Skull would just ignore the other numbers cyborgs. There's no way they wouldn't come after their kidnapped friends...just makes him look really stupid.
The Black Ghost minions were drawn all cutesy in like a chibi form. They look like they could be villains from a Mario game or something lol. Not very intimidating.
Ch. 9
Yaaay 008 pointed out the 8 thing =D lol. Glad he gets to contribute to the battle even though there's no water around lol.
Francoise has a weird bonding moment with Dr. Daemon because he saw her in a ballet once. He's definitely the chiller of the two evils but he's still actively working towards world domination and perpetual wars? I don't think this is really a "there's good in him" moment...
8-man sure loses his arms a lot. Guess they're just trying to emphasize his mechanical body.
I swear they used the EXACT same tactic to topple the demon God statue that they used to topple the Atlas-type robots in BGOO Parts! (006 digs a hole and then 005 pushes the big enemy over). Felt weird to see that used back-to-back in manga published so close to one another. Both times they emphasized it as some kinda ingenious strategy.
Ch. 10
Awe, I really liked this finale. They wrapped everything up in a nice, neat bow and sometimes that's all you want.
So Dr. Daemon was actually playing the long game and never allied with Black Ghost at all! Rather convenient lol. Does they mean the gang wouldn't have been able to defeat both enemies at once?
I completely forgot about Joe's juvenile delinquent backstory. Why do I feel like that doesn't fit his character at all? He's such a bland do-gooder now...Anyway, having 8-Man explain that he was a cop on the scene at the time of Joe's escape attempt was a clever way to tie the two series worlds together in a believable way.
So I guess Dr. Daemon is still not a great guy but not that evil either? I don't know enough 8-Man lore to make a conclusion lol. He seemed pretty okay with the heroes dying earlier, so I guess he's just all for himself.
This chapter got all Ghost in the Shell-y with the reveal that Skull isn't a real person, just a robot with implanted memories. Pretty brutal that he decapitated his own lackeys to prove a point what the heck...what if they weren't robots!?
So Black Ghost is dead "for real" now...riiiight. Until they inevitably get resurrected again for some future manga.
I was kinda shook to find out that Joe's hair is a wig (or maybe it's actually implanted into his scalp? IDK). It doesn't actually make any difference, I just never realized that was the case.
Dr. Gilmore and Dr. Tani being science bros was cute. Also enjoyed seeing Ivan (and his one eye) very briefly.
Nice picturesque ending with Joe and Francoise dropping 8-Man off at Sachiko's house and validating his humanity. Wholesome cyborgs supporting cyborgs.
Omake - Duel
A closer look at some 8-Man/Dr. Tani lore. I kinda wish they didn't include this tbh because it ended this volume on a depressing note.
Damn, if I was Ken I'd probably resent my dad too! Ken was like "you only love 8-Man!" and Dr. Tani was like "that's not true!" but then the second Ken dies Dr. Tani's just like "meh, at least I have 8-Man" lol. Poor Ken!
Speaking of poor Ken...that's one severe widow's peak. On top of having a craptastic life, he's also balding? Oh the humanity!
Dr. Tani acted like Ken being a cyborg with a human brain was a revelation of some sort? Sooo...if Dr. Tani wasn't the one to turn Ken into a cyborg, who did?
Ken's hero suit (or villain suit, I guess) literally just looks like he sharpied some fake pecs on lol. What a weird design choice.
As far as 1960s manga go, I think I prefer Cyborg 009's art style because it's more over-exaggerated and stylized. I think this allows it to hold up more. 8-Man feels more traditionally drawn (more proportional characters).
I'm kinda glad I got a glimpse into the authentic, OG 8-Man for greater context, but I'll also probably just read this again someday if I ever get to that part of MAL haha.

Dunno if you're still in school, I just woke up and saw the choose violence post and hell YEAH I'm interested. 1, 8, 22
8: common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
Honestly, its obviously subjective, but there are small things? I think people are wrong when they make Droog Russian. I don't know. I think it's just tired. bonus points if they characterize him as like, Russian and a sociopath or whatever. It's just boring. I also don't like when Sleuth is blond. Bottle blond sure, but do you think that man puts enough effort into his appearance to BOTHER? He barely showers every other day let alone gets metrosexual with it. If a version of Sleuth was going to be a bottle blond you KNOW it would be Scofflaw, Sleuth absolutely does not serve daily hygiene in the way some people draw him 😭
22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
This is a hard one because there's so little intermission to begin with, and not that much problem sleuth. I really enjoy the dipshit fop versions of the sleuth team and i never see anything about them i guess? I want to see more of the gentlemen, I should draw some stuff for them at some point. I'm going to put most of 1 under a cut because I'm gonna get into it.
the character everyone gets wrong
Where to start, I've got thoughts on a bunch of characterizations I think are just wrong, but the top four are Pickle Inspector, Die, Clubs Deuce and Droog.
TO START: PICKLE INSPECTOR
Whenever I see PI characterized as a tea drinker I think its very funny but also incorrect. I am fairly certain we never see PI drink tea, outside of possibly some provided by Death. When left to his own devices PI brews his own moonshine and gets absolutely plastered locked in his own office. He keeps his own waste in a glass vase in his office! I don't believe he has long hair as a person either, because he would NOT take care of it. He showers less frequently than Ace or Sleuth. I think if he had long hair that would get so tangled and he would be so stressed and fried about detangling it would never happen and he'd have to cut it all off. I think he cleans up his act a little when Broad comes into his life because he doesn't want to scare her off by being such a disaster, but he's low functioning, very neurotic, and constantly dissociating. Even if he's smart and detail-oriented, I don't believe he channels that into cleaning his own space, maintaining his personal hygiene, or literally just going grocery shopping. He isn't fussy and neat and a tea drinker, he's fussy and snippy and a bit peevish, he's sometimes delusional and dissociative and sitting in his own sweat for days. He needs to be hosed down like a dog at the groomers!!! DIE
This man is also not long haired because he is disgusting and i cannot imagine him taking care of it. he's similar to PI but doesn't dissociate in the same way and expresses his anxieties a lot more externally. I personally headcanon him as having trichotillomania and having very thin hair and eyebrows, and stubby if any eyelashes. He's not in an environment conducive to like. Reducing anxiety. So it's not getting better really. He wears gloves to make it more difficult to pull out individual hairs. If he's a leprechaun with no hair, he probably picks at his skin, and I headcanon leprechauns as having something akin to vellus hairs all over their body giving them a very soft feeling skin, and he would also tear those out. I think he's marginally more fixated on contamination anxiety than PI is, but overall he doesn't have the motivation to take care of himself! He lives a very stressful existence and is like the most frightened and aggressive donskoy cat you've ever seen. I do want to also note that I think him just being a wimp is wrong, i think he is a wimp but responds to threats not by cowering exclusively, but also by brandishing a gun and getting very agitated and i think he bites. TLDR he is not a cute schmoopy to me he is a possum who needs to get its shots (not for rabies. tetanus and the like)
CLUBS DEUCE
I don't have exactly as much to say on deuce that i didn't cover in another post i made about him, but it seems like he gets infantilized a lot sometimes. He's a grown ass adult man, he's just full of whimsy and love and enjoys being alive and setting fires and building things. He's not a toddlerrrrr. I'm not saying everyone treats him like one but he's got like. a full inner life. He's just has some of the best mental health in midnight city
DIAMONDS DROOG
I can go into his character in detail another time, but I'll say a little about how i think he's fanonized so deeply. He is not cool. He just looks cool. He's not verbose, he cultivates a very particular look and sticks to it, but that's not because he's some kind of casanova, or suave. His flat affect is unintentional. His unflappable reputation is nonexistent- he is incredibly violent and prone to temper flare-ups, the only difference is how much he screams or swears compared to Slick, he's almost as violent as him, just not as off-the-handle. He's very specific and detail oriented, but is also INCREDIBLY boring! Not in a bad way, he's just. Normal. I think he has absolutely no imagination skills. his imagination stat is like a paradox. He simply doesn't imagine anything new! When the Draconian Dignitary puts the ring on in Homestuck that one time, and he doesn't get a whole big transformation? HE COULDN'T IMAGINE HIMSELF AS ANYTHING COOLER! And, i also think he's autistic (like me), and that ties into how i think he's so uncomfortable with change or going outside of his specific ass comfort zone. He's not cool, or even sexy, its all a facade. He calls the number on clothes catalogues to interrogate underpaid employees about the kinds of seams on their trousers and the fabric treatments they use on their products for hours. He eats one of three things when he goes out if he goes out at all. He has a hundred opinions on alcohol and cigars and he doesn't even like smoking cigars firsthand because the flavors too strong. He lives a highly internal life. If he wore a collarless overshirt he would die. He wouldn't even wear a funny tie of his own volition! He's kind of a killjoy dipshit! AND I LIKE HIM FOR IT! Thank you for listening to my thoughts.

It's so silly, but what I enjoy the most when it comes to animation in the movies is the small details on Sonic, Tails and Knuckles that makes them more... Alive, or real, however I could describe it. (I'm mainly using Sonic as an example)
I especially love what they did with the fur on the characters, like when they got out of the water and their fur is wet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like I don't think it's easy to notice, but you should see some water dripping out of his quills or something. (You can also see that his gloves are wet too.)
And another amazing detail is when Sonic and Knuckles are underwater and their fur is flowing. (God I wish I know how to make gifs)
And even when they have sand on them as well.
Tumblr media
I MEAN LOOK AT THAT
(I forgot to take a picture of it but there was even some sand on Knuckles' gloves.)
And of course, snowy Sonic.
Tumblr media
Like, the animators pulled it off with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles' fur details and conditions. I wish I have more pictures, or at least better ones, to show off but these will do.
Sand, or snow, or whatever, would get stuck on Sonic's fur since he is covered with said fur, and not just hair (or quills) on his head.
EVEN THIS IMAGE SCREAMS REALISTIC BECAUSE OH MY GOD
Tumblr media
Sonic was running through the bridge before Robotnik's Egg Mech shot it down with Sonic still on it!
Then he crashed onto the ground along with the remaining pieces of the destroyed bridge and MAN
Every. Single. Time. I see Sonic in this condition, my heart just shatters
Because YOU CAN TELL
That Sonic is beaten up badly. All that dirt and bruises on his body, including his pained expression. Complete with the animation of him approaching the Master Emerald in a slow and painful pace, and he kept tumbling and falling back to the ground but he kept going anyway.
EVEN HIS GLOVES AND SHOES LOOK BEATEN UP WHAT THE HECK
I believe that without all that dirt on Sonic's fur, or even just a little bit of it, it wouldn't even look like he was in terrible condition. The crew did such an OUTSTANDING job on this movie, but especially this entire sequence.
The ENTIRE FINAL BATTLE ALONE, COMPLETE WITH MY BOY SUPER SONIC
Plus, they made him, Tails and Knuckles so darn expressive it's like we've never seen them express before. THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS MAN.
It's just one of those things in animation, but especially in CGI, that just makes everything else so realistic. Like the characters are actually there. And I love it. I don't know why, it's just such a cool thing to point out every now and then.
Also, another thing that makes them more real is the breathing, or most specifically, moments when their chests "puffs" in and out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like here for instance. (This looks like a meme template XD)
Here Knuckles was going on about how Sonic moves forward despite failing again, and again, and again, ect. And Sonic here is just like: bruh.
You can definitely see that his body kind of shrunk, letting out some air before inhaling again to speak up. (I REALLY wish I knew how to make gifs)
I'm just gonna plug this really neat post right here if you want to read it since it's about what I'm explaining here. So shout out to @caz-cina for that because I could've explain it better myself. XD
Again, like I said, it's the smallest things in the movies that I just can't get over because the animators actually did they're part to make the animated characters and the special effects as real as possible.
Probably not necessary to post something like this but I just wanted to say how much I love stuff like this and it's so cool that the crew are really hopeful and collaborative with the movie series.
Honestly, kudos to the cast and crew. They are way past cool.

the power of love pt three | stranger things ; s.harrington
A/N ; Annnd, I'm back with another part. Thought I'd go ahead and post this now because it was the closest thing that was finished/ready out of everything I'm working on. I'm really loving this whole little thing, tbh. This one is gonna be kind of slowish burn. Looots of sexual tension, hidden flirting and other stuff, I think. I'm trying to play on the fact that I think Steve is a protective sort and his love language is more small actions over words for the most part. That being said ugh I am so excited for where I feel like this is going.
Pairing ; Steve Harrington x Henderson!Fem reader.
Timeline / Other Stuff to Note ; part I | part II can be found by clicking. As previously stated, nothing from the Upside Down + its unholy terrors is gonna happen here but there will be mutual pining and angst and teen romance-y plot stuff. So if you prefer slice of life instead of the extra (Upside Down and unholy terrors) then this is something you miiight like. Maybe. Also, apparently, reader suffered from the genetic disease that Dustin had himself.. I can't spell it properly, but it was the reason that his teeth only just grew in right. Another fun fact.. Reader has kind of an alternation of both Stevie Nicks and Madonna's clothing / fashion style, so when I'm writing I'm picturing either really ethereal hippie or just straight up vixen type stuff that 80's Madonna rocked. She/you/reader changes styles with your/her/readers moods.
Tag List ; @musichealsscars @allelitesmut @hcloangcls @aries-arcade are the only people on my Stranger Things tag list. Optional tag goes to bae @rampagewriting - no pressure at all. if you'd like to be added to my taglists for Stranger things or anything else, please let me know or add yourself -> here.
Warnings ; girl on girl bullying / a lil shoving match. rumors and bullshit lead to a fight on Steve's end also. Lots of lingering sexual tension and a little cute awkwardness.
Other Stuff ; tag list doc || my rules - fandoms and some characters I write for || requests are open - headcanon asks and filth/fluff letters only btw... Still no wrestlers and I beg of you -> send me things. Please. Pretty please.
I do not consent to my work being reposted elsewhere or copied/reworked/rewritten and reposted here or elsewhere. You don't own this, I do. So like... don't steal my shit.
Tumblr media
You don’t expect to talk to Steve outside of tutoring sessions because so far, you really haven’t. You’re certainly not expecting to lock eyes with him in the mirror on your locker door the next morning. You turn around and promptly find yourself body to body with him.
Steve drags his hand through his hair because honestly, he’s not even sure what made him walk over to your locker when he spotted you in the hallway. All he knows is he can feel Tommy and Carol’s eyes burning a hole through him from where they stand. And it’s awkward as hell to have happen but for some reason, his mind chooses to replay the massage you gave him the night before and this comes with the neat little side effect of him still being able to feel the way your hands felt so soft and delicate as they moved over his skin. He’s so dazed that he misses the first three times you’re trying to get his attention. And then you’re pushed against him again and your tits are pushing against his chest and he nearly goes into a tailspin. When he spots the idiot football players who were the reason, he flips them off and yells at them to watch where they’re walking because they nearly ran you over.
You laugh quietly and when he finally gets done shouting back and forth with the idiot football player who nearly knocked you into him just now,you’re the one staring up at him. Lost in chocolatey eyes and dazed. You haven’t moved your hand from his bicep where you put it when you toppled into him either and as soon as you realize it, you can feel your body burning hot. And you mumble an apology before quickly pulling your hand back to your own body. “Need something, Harrington?” you finally ask the question for a fourth time because he’s not in a daze like he was. You laugh quietly.
“Thank you. My neck uh.. it wasn’t stiff when I woke up.” - It’s weak as hell and yes, he’s aware of this. But he’s just not sure what else to say, lately, his charisma seems to have just vanished and the fact that a simple conversation that used to be easy-peasy for him, especially with the girls, is suddenly harder now for some reason, this is frustrating to him.
He felt like this with her, at first. Kind of. It’s so much worse this time around, especially to factor in that the poor guy is doing everything he can not to get sucked in and be weak again because he can’t take being hurt. He’s terrified of another risk that’ll leave him heartbroken sooner or later. Because he’s got himself convinced that somehow, he won’t be enough. He wasn’t for her.
You laugh and nod. Then you raise up on your toes and fluff the front of his hair. It’s just a distracted and absent-minded gesture that you’re fully aware you probably shouldn’t be doing and yet, you can’t resist. When Steve’s brain does the brr - time to shut down thing that it started to lately when it comes to you and your innocent little gestures, he grabs your hip before he can stop himself from doing it. Then he mumbles a rushed apology and hurries away, over to the safety that his best friends Tommy and Carol provide right now. Away from you and the danger of temptation.
Because he’s making no mistake about it, temptation is exactly what you happen to be.
Once Steve is across the hallway and distracted by Tommy and Carol so he can’t see you, you lean yourself back against the closed locker beside yours and you fan yourself with your folder. Valerie sees this and doubles over laughing as she clears her throat.
“I thought you were ‘above’ the Steve Harrington effect? What’d you do to him anyway? Whatever it was had him zoinked enough that it prompted Carol to get my number from her ma and call at like.. 10.”
You laugh and shrug. “He was tense so I gave him a massage? Wait… what’d she say?” and as you ask, all the times you’ve thrown up at her that you’re not interested in gossip or anything come around to bite you because she smirks and shakes her head and she absolutely refuses to tell you anything other than sooner or later, you’ll figure it out.
You roll your eyes and pout. “I don’t wanna figure it out. I wanna know.” Valerie gives you a questioning look. “How sure are you about that, hm?”
“Please?” you plead as the two of you walk into the bathroom together.
“Well, apparently, your little massage kinda got him a little hot and bothered.” Valerie is teasing you. "He uh... He pitched a tent, woman, what the hell kind of massage did you give him?"
She has to be lying, there’s no other explanation. It’s not like you give massages that are that good, after all. Your jaw drops and almost instantly, you’re trying to… Picture it for yourself, which of course, makes you clench your thighs and swallow hard when you not only manage to picture certain areas of Steve Harrington’s anatomy -like you’ll ever get to see it, and the realization has you frustrated for some weird reason,  but your mind goes one up and offers up an interesting spin on the massage you gave him from the night before.
Nicole is leaned against a wall, smirking at you. When you lock eyes with her, you blow a bubble with your gum and spin around. “Do you have to linger?”
She steps a little closer. “Steve’s better than you. I wouldn’t even bother trying if I were you. You're just a little girl. Your teeth didn't even grow in right until 9th grade. What in the hell make you think you can handle Steve Harrington, hm?" She purrs out the words a if she's being super nice but you know better. After she reapplies her own lipstick, she continues, laughing as she steps up to you again, " Last I heard, you're legs are closed so tight somebody would have to surgically open 'em.. And make no mistake. He doesn't want you. He wants a lay...”
You roll your eyes again, scoffing at her. And given your short fuse, you step closer with a hand on your hip. “Aw… are you still jealous he kissed Bonnie in the 7th grade and not you? Are you jealous because you spent all of last year following him like a lil lost puppy but he only had eyes for Wheeler? Is that what this is?” you laugh and blow another bubble before adding calmly, “I’m not trying. But if I wanted to, you wouldn’t stop me, Nicole.”
“You’re a nothing, alright? A nobody. Steve’s only even around you because he wants to get his dick wet again.”
You laugh and step close all over again. “Why bother with me though, hm? I mean you’ve all but thrown your panties in the mans face since we were in middle school and yet… Not a single glance your way. Maybe you should stop trying, Nicole.
“Goddamn.” Valerie is choking  and gaping at you. Normally, you don’t try to engage or anything and your usual tactic in a confrontation is to simply ignore and pray it disappears on it’s own. So the amount of spunk and sass she’s just heard from you are… Definitely a bit of a shocker.
And she’s not the only one shocked, because you’re gaping at yourself for saying it. For going there and egging it on in the first place.
Nicole steps closer. Sizes you up and laughs, rolling her eyes. “Go play with your colored pencils, little girl.”
“I love that shade of green on you, Nic.” Valerie smirks as she steps up, grinding her fist against her open palm as she stares her down intently. “Goes real nice with your eyes.”
“I’m not wearing…–” the meaning of the comment sinks in and Nicole doubles over laughing. “Oh my god, that’s rich. You think I’m jealous of baby teeth?” Nicole looks at Valerie and Valerie shrugs. “If the shoe fits, skank.” 
“Yeah yeah yeah.. My teeth didn’t grow in until I was 13. When did your tits grow, N?.. Oh.. wait.” you cringe at her in mock sympathy, “Sorry." you laugh and roll your eyes. "I forgot you're still rocking a kids training bra. See? I can do it too, N." you shrug it off. You hate doing what you've just done, but you hate the concept of being a quiet little pushover and letting anybody think they have any sort of power to hurt you anymore even more. It was a lose-lose, a necessary evil.
The comment about your teeth bothered you. It used to bother you a lot more, but assholes like Nicole all through elementary and middle school gave you a thicker skin. Despite the thicker skin though, it didn’t mean the comment wasn’t going to sit with you all day. And you were annoyed with yourself for even stooping down to her level to begin with, but you’d been feeling feisty lately.
If she wanted to keep it up, you were pretty confident you could keep it going all day. When Nicole shoved you to shove past you though, that lit the fire completely and the next thing you know, you’ve shoved her back. And then it’s spilling into the hallway.
Steve’s just about to go into his classroom when he hears shouting from outside the girls bathroom. He glances that way out of vague curiosity and when he sees you and Nicole shoving back and forth -after you’ve gone for today’s choice of wild and big earring, big bold red hoops in your ears and taken those off, he shoves through the crowd.
Nicole’s boyfriend has started to carry her away and Steve picks you up by the hips and does the same. Valerie laughs and catches up to you both as Steve stands you on your feet. He’s trying not to smile or laugh or anything, but he’s also looking you over in concern. “What the hell was that about?”
“Nicole’s jealous because she’s the only girl you haven’t stuck your dick in, apparently.” Valerie answers, shrugging. Steve grumbles and rolls his eyes. “She started it, didn’t she?”
“I didn’t help..” you mumble, shrugging.
“Yeah, well.. I’m pretty sure whatever she said to you was worse. She uh… She started it with Nance too.”
“Lemme guess. The priss didn’t even try to fight or anything.” Valerie rolled her eyes, the disdain she personally felt for Nancy Wheeler clear and unhidden.  You elbow her and give her a warning look. “Val, easy.. That’s kind of his ex.”
“She didn’t, actually. Said she was above it. Then I found out she was under Jonathan Byers, so..” Steve cringed and you winced and muttered quietly, “Yikes.”
“What’d she say?” Steve asked you as he continued to check you over in concern.
“The usual.. My teeth didn’t grow like everybody else’s, I'm nothing, I’m weird.. I was fine until she shoved past me. Then I just snapped. Like.. say what you want but don't you dare touch me, especially not shoving into me." you shrug. 
Steve’s fist clenched and he caught himself glancing in Nicole’s direction. Rolling his eyes when he caught her looking in your direction with an angry death glare on her face. He stepped closer to you, almost protectively. And he got you looking up at him. “Hey.. if she starts again, tell me, alright? She’s always doing this when I even look at a girl.”
“Yeah, she’s a bitch. It’s not.. Like it’s not a big deal or anything. Kind of thick-skinned by this point.” you shrug. Steve flips Nicole off when he glances her way and sees her whispering back and forth with an old friend of Carol’s that Carol stopped talking to recently. Then he turns his attention back to you. “Yeah, well.. It’s still kinda my fault?”
“How? I’m tutoring you because I wanna. You didn’t hold a loaded gun to my head, Harrington. Relax. I’ll be fiiiine.” you raise up on your toes and fluff his hair again and then you walk away.
– ( later that day ) 
“Hey, are you dating that Henderson chick? Y’know her legs are binded with molasses, right, buddy? You feelin okay, Harrington?” Johnny asks, smirking as he gazes at Steve, waiting on an answer. 
At first, Steve tried to ignore the guy but he just kept going. And going. By the time he got to the part of the conversation where he’s telling Steve that you're a prude and an ice queen and if he wants to get his dick wet he needs to look elsewhere, Steve’s just fed up with the shit.
Before Tommy even has a chance to grab him, he’s hopped the bleachers and the two basketball players are rolling around on the floor. And Steve is growling, swearing and making every threat under the sun as Tommy and Billy drag him away to the locker room.
“Fuckin tell ‘em, Danny! Nobody messes with her, got it?” Tommy tells Johnny’s friend Danny.
The coach benches Johnny and Steve for the afternoon, but Steve doesn’t mind, honestly. And he’s still wishing he’d gotten to land just one more good right hook before Tommy, Danny and Billy drug the two of them apart.
But above all else, he’s wondering what the hell got into him in the first place. Because every single time he thought about what Johnny was implying -that he’d tried to get with you in the past and been rejected, made him want to strangle Johnny in the first place because he'd tried. Like you belonged to Steve or it was any of his business to begin with. The thought cropped up before he could stop it, ,, you're not gonna be enough for her man, no sense in even trying to get territorial."
By the time practice is over, he’s cooled off. And he happens to be walking past the open door to the art classroom.
You’re still inside, painting something on a huge canvas. Stevie Nicks playing in the background as Valerie and two or three other girls, one a blonde from his class named Robin or something, are sitting on counters talking back and forth and apparently, watching you paint.
At one point, someone flings paint at Valerie. Valerie flings it back but they’re hiding near you and the paint hits you instead.
You dip your hand in turquoise paint and start to chase Valerie around the room and he laughs to himself. And after another minute or two of lingering in the doorway to the classroom, he finally manages to make himself leave.

lvl 3
One Piece characters in school, a harem
level: two | >three< | four m.l
Monday: 11 September, 08:10
🅒 Ask him about himself 
You ask Zoro about himself.⁰⁰`⁰¹ +love
"Me? There's not much to say." He thinks for a moment. "I practice swordsmanship. Have since I was a kid."
"No shot, that's cool as hell," you say. "Are your main courses something revolving around that?"
"More or less, I s'pose. Combat in general is the closest shit they got here," he shrugs. 
"I'm surprised they've even got something like that."
He offers a short hum. "I'm assuming that your main courses are a little more 'normal.'" 
You chuckle awkwardly. "I don't have any main courses just yet. I've kind of got a bunch of different courses," you admit. "Welding, literature… Hell, I've got a cooking class."
He nods, taking a moment. He doesn't have the time to make a comment before Sabo comes back.
"Alright, ready to go?"
"Go where exactly?" you ask. 
"To Kid's dorm," Sabo says. "I'll take bets he's there."
You start walking with Sabo and Zoro. 
"Is it really okay to just go there?" you ask. "You guys are also missing class."
"Yeah, and it's not like anyone can do anything about it," Zoro shrugs.
Sabo sighs lightly, a gesture of reluctant agreement. "It's okay, I can cover for us."
"If you say so… I don't want you guys to get in trouble, so let me know if there's anything you need me to do." 
The blonde smiles. "Thank you." +love
"Careful who you go around makn' promises to," Zoro comments. 
Sabo ignores him, aside from giving him a side-eye that you don't catch. "We're just about there."
You walk the rest of the way in silence, until you reach a large building. Sabo swipes a card that lets you into the lobby area. It's a relatively bright, open room, mostly filled with lounge chairs and tables. It's empty, given that most students are probably in class. 
Sabo leads to the elevators, where there are way more floors than you thought there were at first glance. He presses the 4th button, out of 26, including the basement and lobby. Well, 25, really, since the buttons skip from 12 to 14. 
The hallways are oddly bright, with there being lamps hung on either side of each door, along with blaring lights across the ceiling. Strange, to say the least. 
And then, the three of you stop at a door, with some crooked numbers labelling the room 16. You've arrived at Kid's dorm room. ⁰⁰`¹⁰
Sabo knocks thrice. 
"Piss off," a gruff voice spits out. 
Sabo sighs and pulls a key from his pocket—a master key, maybe—and unlocks the door. 
It swings open easily, loose on its hinges, and accidentally bashes into the wall a little too hard. There's no door stopper to prevent the impact. 
Alongside Kid, there's 3 others. 
Killer, the 'levelheaded leviathan'-he's not as bad and scary as you think. (he's still bad though, and you should probably still be scared)
A blonde with deceivingly neat hair. Messy at first glance, with golden locks twisting every which way, but it doesn't look like there are any knots, and there's hardly any frizz. He has a blue and white striped mask on, with two lines of vertical holes. He sits on the bed next to Kid, back against the wall with an elbow leaning on his propped up knee. 
Heat, the 'stitched persecutor'-ruthless, but only to those he deems deserving.
He sits on the desk chair backwards, legs straddling the backrest. His arms rest on the top of it, with his head lying on his forearms. He's got long, wavy, pale blue hair. Sharp stitches and thorny tattoos spiral around his body, nearly indistinguishable from one another. Somewhat droopy eyes sway between you, Sabo, Zoro, and Kid.
Wire, the 'quiet killer'-he's not keen on frivolous fools.
He wears a black cloak, left open at the front. His hood is pulled up over his head, two horn-like spikes extend from the top. A tight fit fishnet top covers his upper chest. A serious, almost menacing expression matches his arms crossed over his chest as he stands, leaning against the wall. 
"Kid, I think you might have something we're looking for," Sabo says calmly. 
"I have no clue what you're talking about," Kid sneers. 
You sigh, unimpressed. "I can see my bag on your bed in the corner."
"Well," Killer chimes, "Can't exactly just give it back. What will you give us in return?"
Sabo and Zoro glance at you. What do you want to do?
Sabo isn't close enough with you to use any blackmail on Kid to get the bag back, but he might be able to help you bargain with Kid.Zoro may be willing to use physical force to help you get the bag back.
🅐 Get help from Sabo 🅑 Get help from Zoro 🅒 Negotiate without either of them

Thoughts on SEES's 1st tier personas? You can keep this short if you want, and don't forget Psyche!
WOOHOO Prince rants about personas round 2 electric boogaloo!
OK this time I'll focus a little more on the actual designs themselves and my thoughts on how they relate to the character + their stories. Read more because well... You know me...
MC/FeMC: So for Orpheus I think its a pretty fitting choice for the protagonists. The protagonists are on a Journey just like Orpheus journey out of the underworld (kinda on the nose lmao) and both of them have strong connections with music! There's probably some connection between the underworld journey and the fact the plot of the game is to stop death but I'm not sure how to word it if you get me. I also like how they really resemble the protagonists face and hair wise! The mechanical detailing is also a neat touch, I've always seen it as the protagonists being very closed off with their emotions (that's kinda of a trend with a lot of the P3 cast I feel, the inital personas are very stiff but then the 2nd tier have more human feel to them).
Junpei: I think Hermes is a really good choice for Junpei. They're both kinda tricksters and Hermes is often portrayed as being carefree (in media at least) which suits Junpei a lot. In terms of design I think its pretty good, I really like the over exaggerated wings on his feet (the iconic winged sandals Hermes usually rocks) and I like his helmet design. My favorite thing about him as I mentioned before though is actually his animations. The way he slides into the enemies reminds me of a baseball player sliding to a base when they're running between bases (Idk baseball that well I hope that makes sense). Very fitting for Junpei considering his choice of career in Arena and also how he uses his sword like a baseball bat!
Yukari: Io is an interesting one for me. I really like her design, I think the girl in the cow head is a very fitting look for Io (who was a woman who got transformed into a cow by Zeus. Io's story is very sad imo (classic Greek woman gets screwed over by Zeus story) but I'll be honest I've never been totally sure why they went with her for Yukari. I think it works don't get me wrong and I like the choice I just don't see why (I, as I'm sure you can tell, am very passionate about Persona designs and I do my best to understand the choices behind the character and design of the persona and how it relates to the user). It just got pointed out to me (shout out to you Rui) that the way the woman is chained to the cow is kinda symbolic of how Yukari is chained to her past and I think that's a really really cool detail!
Akihiko & Shinjiro: I have to combine these two for obvious reasons. Polydueces ugly design aside for a moment, man. This choice for Akihiko is so good because of its connection to Castor. Regardless of how you view Akihiko and Shinjiro's connection, the way they are so connected to each other and how interwoven they are as characters to the point their personas are literally twins?!! Absolutely amazing I don't think we've had as powerful a persona connection since. I really love how their designs reflect each other two, Polydueces with its lighter and more alive design versus Castor and his dark look and the sword that's embedded in his chest? Symbolizing that he's the mortal twin that dies in the legends? And then connect that with his story in the game? Blows my MIND conceptually the best personas in the series actually. I love them.
Fuuka: OK I love Lucia and how she interacts with Fuuka. Having that glass orb as her body and have Fuuka in there navigating for the team is really really cool! I really like the pose of the persona (there is something about it... blanking on why that is relevant to its design). I also love the detail of her eyes being covered as she is the Patron saint of the blind! A cool choice for a navigational persona. Something about her being considered a martyr is fitting for Fuuka too. I also like how different it is to the others (a lot of the others having Greek connections whereas this is a Catholic saint).
Mitsuru: Oh Penthesilea my absolute beloved. I've discussed her in detail before (mind you probably two years ago at this point) but like one of my favorite things about her is the weapons she uses. The sword, particularly a rapier is seen as an honest weapon. A good knight has a sword, a skilled duelist has a rapier. Mitsuru is a very strong and experienced Persona user (and ofc is a fencer herself). She's convinced everyone she's on this noble quest to fix the Kirijo Group's mistakes, which is partially true to be fair. But her other weapon? A dagger. Associated with dishonesty and treachery. I feel like this alludes to her being dishonest with SEES. I adore Mitsuru but even I can admit she was sneaky and kept important details from SEES (she had her reasons but still). And ofc the treachery I feel is less her and more Ikutski betraying her trust and her father's trust. Also her being dishonest about her own motivations! And then ofc the big details: the absence of red in Penthesilia's design and her face being fully covered by the mask! Showing the walls Mitsuru has built up around herself!!! Sorry I just love Penthesilia and will over analyze her a lot.
Koromaru: Honestly I don't have much to say here but that's not a bad thing! Cereberus is really true to the original myths, a three headed dog with a hellish looking design and that's what they've given us. It's a solid design and I love him!
Ken: OK my own thoughts about Nemesis aside, I think its a really well executed design. It's a very unnerving and angry looking design, perfect for the goddess of revenge. And obvs her being a goddess of revenge is very very suitable for Ken given his motivations up until October 4th! The color scheme really helps with this too. Just a very edgy design perfect for Ken.
Aigis: Palladion is really cool because it's not actually a person but rather an object! Specifically an object associated with protection very similar to aegis. Which well, is perfect for Aigis. A robot dedicated to protecting the protagonist. I can't quite put it into words but its just a really really cool design. I like the big metal spike going through it, very robotic and always reminds me of the front of a pirate ship, not sure if that was intentional tbh.
Metis: OK Psyche is tricky for me. As a design its really cool. I enjoy the butterfly motif a lot. I really like its dress too and I think it resembles Athena which makes a lot of sense given who Metis is! Why Psyche though? The only connection I can make is that Psyche was originally a mortal who was considered so beautiful people mistook her for Aphrodite. Which I guess ties into how Metis was mistaken for Aigis..? Idk there's def a connection here somewhere but I am not sure of what that is. It's still a cool design though.
And I think that's everyone? Hope I didn't forget anyone man this was fun to do. Congrats if you read it all LMAO

callbringers ch14 (dropped today!!) spoilers
@thesternest liveblog rambles! i'm pretty much just saying this to you, might make separate posts out of the analysis points when the other readers catch up to them.
Tumblr media
ASHELYN DISSOCIATION WINNN
Or loss, if you're Ashelyn.
ooh [kicking feet] i'm gonna have to picrew Ashe with her white hair streak soon!!
Tumblr media
i love how she describes him jyhtsdfgyhjk. gonna start calling him "that terrible king"
ashelyn's nobility training coming back to prop up her masking :3 that's a neat detail, and it's gonna make her Losing Herself To The Mask/dissociation moments soooo much worse hehe. worm tangent, I suspect Lisa Wilbourn went through a similar thing with learning to school her expression as Sarah Livsey...
Tumblr media
ASHEEEEEE😭😭😭 disconnect between emotions and body/actions, speedrun! magrias really is handcrafting her Issues as well as his own huh
oh magrias is SO fucking slimy. horrible bastard. terrible king indeed. god, that speech...
Tumblr media
ough. can't say I'm surprised though
Tumblr media
[me who's been daydreaming about an Ashelyn Gets Mind-Controlled Into Killing fic for a while] hmm...
Tumblr media
YOU WERE RIGHT I DO LIKE THIS CHICK :DD < me when people are mean to my blorbos in compelling ways
also i would not be surprised if luan was experiencing taylor-esque passive suicidality, ngl. she's certainly Gone The Fuck Through It. anyways i respect the determination [tips hat]
back to ashe - I think the epithets she gives magrias in her inner monologue ("that tyrant", "that terrible king") are a way of reminding herself who he is and what he's done. staying focused on him as an enemy, while everything around her tries to convince her he's her leader. she needs this to centre herself and vent her anger, when she can't express her emotions or have her perceptions validated externally.
Tumblr media
Oh, shit, wait - what was that Magnie song you sent me ages ago? Character prediction, the other Scholars working with Magrias will catalyse a crisis of faith for Magnie. I think she'll either leave the Scholars, or drastically change/reform them.
OUUUGGHH I LOVETHE ATTENDANTS PLAYS. loveeeee this. ashelyn channeling her (Reversed) Manipulation <33
"this was a much bigger picture than a few attendants and she could not let them burden her if she wanted to free her country" hm. storing this line. i don't think she's wrong for it but it could be the start of something.
Tumblr media
you SLANDER my daughter??? you tell LIES and MISINTERPRETATIONS?? can't really blame you. but damn how did that one happen
Tumblr media
Ohhh I Like This Girl

GOD. FUCK. GOD. THIS IS WHY SHE'S SO COMPELLING. BEING MAGRIAS' PUPPET QUEEN IS THIS TURNED UP TO 200. ashelyn really is worm-esque in that she has the worst day of her life and it makes all the problems that lead up to it infinitely worse... anyways, yeah, bet she hates Aiven extra for that one.

KILLING HIM KILLING HIM KILLING HIM
luckily, if he IS the bastard in question, I might have the honour of having (indirectly) orchestrated his demise already >:)
