Any other LGBTQ+ Headcannons that are canon is the comic??;)

*patiently awaits Cupioromantic Donnie*

hmm... had to think about this for a while and talk about it with co-author, but here's what we got. we mostly base this stuff on how plausible it is in show/if there's evidence for it. with a dash of personal experience. This only applies to residuum, btw. I have different personal headcanons for these characters outside the comic.

april: lesbian. this is mostly based off of the fact that most aprils get with their caseys & the comment she said to dale. which could be taken as disinterest in dale specifically, but she seemed more concerned with impressing that popular girl earlier and that reads as more... saphic, i suppose. or at the very least homoromantic.

raph: raph is just raph. we look at him and basically just *tv static*. go crazy. all we got is jokes or stuff that has too little evidence to support. so, yeah, he's whatever you want him to be i guess?

leo: trans. already said my reason in the other post. also, gay. if gay were a power source he could power the entirety of the united states for five months straight without a single power outage. failing power grid notwithstanding (< thats the actual word. its supposed to be mushed together like that. wack.).

donnie: as much as i'd like him to be ace/aro spectrum rep, he just doesn't have the evidence in show for us to apply it to him in this comic. it's funny, for being hc as ace so often he sure is the most outwardly romantic/sexual turtle in the show lmao. one! cherry: "you're so cute, but you're so mean! why do i always go for your type?" two! astrogirl?? (whatever her name is) he is very very romantic with her. he has a type y'all. also just look at those two, he's a leg man lmao (bootyyshaker9000 anyone? ha!) anyway. and with the bromance/instant chemistry he had with that one guy in the purple dragons... Pan. or possibly Omni as he does seem to favor... cute brutal femme... Yeah. Omnisexual.

(you have no idea how fucking bad i want this boy to be ace spectrum. hes got the colors y'all!! The Colors!!!!! but alas... i am bound by my canon plausibility creed for this comic)

mikey: ace. possibly ace/aro. he shows interest in literally no-one. we're aware that the common hc is pan but... we know a pan 13 year old, and let me tell you ahahahaha, kids going through puberty are very uncomfortable to be around sometimes, especially around their partners. or crushes. and mikey... well, that boy is ace behavior personified lmao. aces in the back you get what we mean right?? right??? anyway commiting to aroace

#residual asks #rottmnt #i really get a kick out of he/him butch lesbian raph and ghostbear-sexual raph #but i'd never use those seriously. or at least in this comic #co-author says what they get if they really had to choose for raph is ace homoromantic #but otherwise... #he's just raph #like we can't apply any identity to him. and we really mean ANY identity. not even straight or umbrella terms like queer #its a very odd feeling #i also really like trans april but we don't have enough evidence for it #in fact there's actually counter evidence- but don't let that stop your dreams y'all. it just stops ours :P #sorry for stepping on your donnie dreams anon #but honestly i think that label applies more to 2012 donnie imo #i really do personally prefer ace/aro donnie. but i'd make everyone ace if i were able lmao #co-author would also do the same thing ahaah #i just don't like depicting romantic relationships. or attraction ahahaah #with mikey... we get why people hc him as pan... but like its a fandomism stereotype #that literally every fandom applies to optimistic friendly characters. and honestly i really don't like the fandomism stereotypes #i just find them... unenjoyable i guess #cuz like y'alll... your sexuality isn't inherently determined by your personality or vise versa #cuz like i know for sure that in fandom spaces- if i were a character- i'd be stereotyped as pan or a hypersexual cis het #to which i am neither. at all. #and co-author would be stereotyped as the demure femme book lesbian #which they are VERY much not #and i know this because i've been fandomified by people in my life more than once #it is a very uncomfortable experience y'all #whoops rant in the tags #residuum #rottmnt residuum #residuum wb

at some point i'm gonna just make a full collection of everything originsmcrp on ao3 just so that it's easier for people to find stuff in the future. note if i do this i won't be including any explicit fics but other than that i'll include everything i can find

edit: for whatever reason it is NOT showing up in tags but i did do this! check the reblogs of this post for the post with the link!

edit 2: BIG NEWS! Origins of Olympus and Fairy Tail Origins now have their own fandom tags!!!!

#originsmcrp #origins mcrp #fairy tail origins #origins of olympus #fallout origins #my hero origins #sword art origins #supernatural origins #originz #adding series tags to this for the reason mentioned in the edit! lemme know if i missed any! #it's seriously so hard to find origins fics #and ao3 won't give us our own fandom tag #it'll give us character tags for our ccs #but no fandom tag #ugh #we should start tagging a fandom tag in the general tags #or just make enough originsmcrp fics that they can't ignore us #i cannot get over how they'll give us character tags but nooooo they won't give us even one fandom tag #urrrrrggggghhhhhhh

i would love to enjoy everything that stardew valley has to offer but unfortunately i approach this game the same way i approach real life: avoid all social interaction and tend to my garden in belligerent silence

#people posting screenshots of their stardew valley spouses and i'm just sitting here like. #y'all have time for relationships in this game?? wtf #i feel every second of every day ticking by. and i must dedicate each and every moment to my beloved potato field. #but seriously it's lowkey distressing. like. goddammit what do you MEAN the autism still happens in-game. #HOW am i supposed to know what gifts to give? WHY do my friendships decay so fucking fast just because we haven't talked in like. two days?? #WHERE are players finding time in their days to interact with the npcs????????? #i can't relate to any of the npcs anyway! nobody shares my unhealthy obsession with agricultural economics!! i literally don't get it. #listen i know there's a wiki but #the problem is that the wiki only applies to stardew valley and not to real life. and i need a cheat sheet for real life. #don't even get me started on the multitasking hell that this game represents. goddang feels like a 50 hour work week playing this game #[I LOVE IT] #ok rant over back to your regularly scheduled pathetic rpg twunks

waking up from.a frightening dream at 4am in which a scary book was central which in the dream (could sort of tell I was dreaming on one level) I thoroughly believed was a real book that had been brought up the other day irl & that my dreaming mind was riffing off of bc I had not read yet. but having woken up. I'm not entirely convinced this is the case. and now I'm kind of scared to look it up tbh bc what's worse that it doesn't exist but I've dreamed about it several different nights & it's broken down my dream/reality conscious barrier (& I might dream it again??? this does happen to me) or that it does & I have to live in a world where it exists & I could read it.

#seriously considering just not sleeping any more & just getting up now at 4am now lol. i don't want to go back to sleep #thoughts #tbc in the dream the book was just a horror type deal it wasn't actually like. powerful. beyond the way it warped my 'levels' of reality #which ngl has shaken me bc i can usually tell well enough if I'm dreaming even if I can't act on it #so some sort of scary narrative/reality breakdown here #<- sorry for the distracted rambling I'm still half asleep & twitching at weird sounds. i will feel better shortly though i usually do #the last time this happened i was in high school & having a dream i could tell i was dreaming in & then 'woke up' & rolled over to find a #perfect representation of my room except the lady from my dream was standing in the middle of it facing away from me oddly still. & then #when i woke up for real I couldn't make myself turn over for like an hour i was so distressed abt what I'd see but also more importantly #that i didn't know/couldn't reliably trll if i was dreaming or not. terrifying prospect tbh #also like i DO have dreams with sequrls/repeats/returns sometimes even years later & 'remember' the last one. nightmares included. #which i hate btw

what the fuck??!

why is uni filled with so much drama?

i just want to study, work, exercise, figure out how to handle my finances and what to eat, sleep, write fanfiction that's never going to see the light of day, walk with nature surrounding me, be grumpy inside because the bus is over-crowded, take part in research, repeat.

why?

i can't do this.

i really hate drama. i have never been involved in it. ANY TIPS? 🤡🤦🏻‍♀️

#don't mind me #was just about to sleep because i have to run errands tomorrow #and this girl i posted about two weeks ago who i hanged out with today just. #seems to hate me??? for some reason #and i hate it #like i said before #i know when i fuck up #and i actually consider myself a quite mature persob #and she seems to genuinely enjoy herself today #and she laughed at my jokes and all that #so i thought we were friends again #and then i come home and i do some work #only to find a message from her an hour later #saying to not make fun of her #and now she is posting weird stuff on instagram??? #what is happening #what is this #can't she just... talk to me? if any of this concerns me? #i am sorry #i am not playing the victim i just have been rejected by friends quite a few times because i was too quiet #and now that i finally talked and had feeling conversations (regarding her feelings i mean) and thought we were okay #someone is about to reject me again? #god. #my best friend still loves me so that's- quite selfishly- validating #and my other friend who is friends with this girl likes me too #and they are wonderful people #anyway #vent post #seriously don't mind me #i just cannot stop thinking

Shout-out to everyone who survived a "fun" easter with the family

#fucking hell #it started with finding out my dad smoked in my car when I picked up my sister #who was equally dreading the day #my mum turns into the world's tensest and judgemental presence. worsened by my aunt #then hell for autistic people (of which there are multiple present) #multiple deaf people means one uninspired conversation that isn't interesting in any way. #combinations of passive aggressiveness and people not saying a thing because they can't participate. voice volumes too damn high #weirdass food situations. Very full table. so many smells. #this goes on for over an hour. wishing for literally anything but being there. soul crushing. #then you still have to sit in that room for 2.5 hours. it just goes on and on. #my autistic deaf dad physically looks like how I feel. my mum and aunt keep piling on top of him to demand his mental presence #i leave the room once (to get my phone to show pictures to my uncle) and am immediately followed upstairs by my mum #who demands I don't leave the room (What's next. following me when I need the toilet?) #me and my sister are so bored we start throwing paper planes and fake fighting. #Which amuses the bored and the deaf #but of course my mum and aunt have opinions and this is not allowed. only soul crushing boredom allowed #they complain to each other over it while aggressively doing dishes #finally it ends because my mum and aunt start insisting my dad should go to bed if he's 'that tired'. *sprinkle on some additional ableism* #still sitting through a conversation about allergies one of my sister's friends has. my mum preaching that people should take that seriously #(meanwhile i had to cook for myself for 9 years because when my allergies were really bad no one bothered to check if i could eat something) #me and my sister go sit upstairs to discover our mum has made things we care about vanish in her room #and made things appear that should not be there #I've washed the interior of my car and hope the smell will go #you think it's over after that. but woke up with the realisation that even more things have disappeared from my sister's room. #i can't remember a time when things left outside of my room didn't disappear #I don't know why we do these family gatherings at all. no one has fun on days like that. #the housing crisis isn't making these things easy. my sister is losing her place to live again as well #she'll go hiking for a month and then work on a campsite over the summer #maybe I'll go house sitting again. idk. #can't make commitments a few months in advance like that because I'll cancel everything the second Sparks announces anything important

Come to think of it ORV had a better impact on my mental health than my therapist.

#it does help that i relate to kim dokja on an unbelievable level #you should've seen my face when i learned that he too hates tomatoes #don't like word kinnie but damn #i can't find a better word to suit how relatable kim dokja is to me #the chapter where he learned about the oldest dream? #hit me too close to home #couldn't stop crying because this is what i would do if i were in his place #killing my past self without any hesitation #this arc is so close to me that i wrote a whole essay about it #seriously these chapters alone did more to me hating my past self than months of therapy #damn #orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint

moving right along into the harrow art ...

Moon Knight is solely responsible for the Ethan Hawke glue trap I've died in. the whole show is superb imo but his portrayal of Harrow haunts me. help I've fallen and I cannot get up

this art's weird... I really had fun pushing the expression and values and in the end it borders on the "uncomfortable to look at and of very little resemblance to Ethan Hawke", but for now Im still fond of it ♥️

#moon knight #arthur harrow #ethan hawke #fanart #procreate #harrow fan(s) make some noise!!!! #seriously any noise i can't find you

"i blame cory for-" "this is cory's fau-" "if it wasn't for cor-" so nobody else's faves can play the game? they can't maneuver out of shit? there's no personal responsibility for anyone else's positions in the game, it's all just cory? cory is the puppet master god that predetermines everything, even from outside the house? hm. 🤔

#bb25 #talk about him more than america... sad innit. #dgaf about how any twists impacted cory but it's tears the entire season about cory making his own game moves JDKSJDSK #if we really want to play this annoying ass game this AGAIN can be pointed back to a certain crew taking out hisam prematurely #when he had every intention of taking out matt next. #and to be clear i don't even find that productive but i can't take this seriously anymore djksjdsk #the cory scapegoating for every single week is... weird af. lmfao.

People be like "merry Christmas" meanwhile I'm over here uncovering new depths of my trauma

#yeah so apparently I experienced csa and I'm honestly not processing that super well #i started just telling people about stuff that happened that i never want to talk about #and they were like 'uh yeah thats csa im sorry you went through that' 💀 #like wdym that was csa?? ahhhdjdj ah djdhdgd #in all seriousness though I've gad a lot of very painful realizations about this lately #like the fact that people knew and not only let it happen but actively tried to allow it to continue #and prevent people who actually try to do anything about it from finding out. including me! i was told it was all normal #like 'oh yes this is all normal. but also dont tell anyone this.' #'not because its wrong but because theyll get the wrong idea' #god. i can't comprehend it #i never thought it was sa because ive always been asexual. i couldnt think of any motive so i just didnt know #i didn't have any grasp of what sexuality was in general. i thought it was like a social construct or a game i was sometimes bad at #i still don't understand. i hate how when i think about it all i feel like a little kid again

guys second post in a row where I ask for help does anyone remember if it was specified if there was an incident which was the catalyst for capsaicin being chained up or was it kept ambiguous

#fanfic purposes btw #I seriously can't be bothered to rewatch the 2+ hours of cutscenes trying to find if it's stated or not #and I don't want any of you guys doing it either just if you remember that'd be great #crk #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #capsaicin cookie

also like. I guess this is just a thing that happens like once a week now?? that I feel like absolute shit for being fucking stupid about someone (again), I mean. I could really use a break.

#every time this happens I think about how I'd tell a therapist about this if I ever find one again #and it feels so unbelievably stupid #'oh yeah so. there's this 76 year old man and I'm so obsessed with him that I can't think about anything else at all ever. and this happens #all the time! I'll just get obsessed with some random person (guy) and everything will be about that for months until it either ends on its #own (which is terrible because then I feel like I'm dead) OR my brain finds someone else else to obsess over :) ' #THAT'S NOT A REAL PROBLEM and it's so embarrassing and also it seriously controls my entire fucking life and I don't have any control over #it and it feels very bad sometimes #anyway someone get a baseball bat and hit my head real hard I think that'd be helpful #personal

Tries to buy something from Ama/zon (tears hair) (vomits blood) (breaks all their bones) (faints to the ground) (starts convulsing) (drops dead)

#I don't know how people buy stuff on Ama/zon on regular basis tbh. #This is like the second time in my whole life I've resorted to buying from it and... I just can't. #I find it so unethical on every front it seriously made me feel sick and needing to throw up #I just wanted to buy a present for my birthday is that too much to ask. #Yet I've been meaning to buy it the whole day and I just ////// c a n t //////. Like I seriously can't I'm not strong enough #Last time it was a present for a friend so I didn't feel that guilty since it wasn't destined to me. But now it's? Phisically painful? #I guess it doesn't help that I'm just not used to buying things for myself outside groceries in general ;;;;;; #Like I never feel the need for a treat the Tumblr posts talk about I just. Buy food and necessities. I'm a boring person okay #Tbh I feel like I'll really end up with no present this time around because I don't know. I really don't think I will make up my mind #Sorry needed to vent I've been stuck on this the whole day #random rambles #Does anyone have any tip on how to stop feeling guilty for buying something for myself once a year? #Then again who am I trying to fool. It's Ama/zon. We're all conscious of the problems that come with it. I SHOULD feel guilty #Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

Myelin is posting videos again. :(

OKAY, so his video I noticed is called "Can Eliksni live forever!?" and it's a pretty nice video overall with all the info we know about Eliksni biology and how they function. It's pretty much identical to the ask I got a few weeks ago and we all brainstormed the explanations aboutu Eliksni longevity and aging (did he steal this ask and our conversation? LMAO). Our conclusions and Myelin's are the same: Eliksni are based on lobsters, they are effectively immortal due to that biology and ether also helps them with growth and sustenance.

There's some other neat Eliksni info as well, specifically about how their reproduction and care for their young works. So if you're interested in some extra details and Myelin's voice isn't making you fall asleep, feel free to watch.

What I want to focus on is at the start of the video where he says that this season gave us new information. He says that "with the Season of the Plunder, Bungie has introduced a decent amount of backstory surrounding the Eliksni." The word "introduced" would imply that this has never been mentioned before. He specifically focuses on Eliksni history (the Long Drift) and the fact that lore shows that Eramis is a survivor of the Whirlwind and therefore, it shows that the Eliksni have incredibly long lives.

This irritates me when it's coming from him because it's his job to know lore. Obviously I do not expect everyone to know this stuff, but he definitely should.

So, the first thing that I noticed, even outside of Myelin (though as I said, not surprised that other people may have missed this), is what he says about the Long Drift. This video isn't the first time he implied we've not known about the Long Drift before. But we did. We knew, both in concept and in name. It's pretty much day 1 knowledge that the Eliksni fled Riis following their version of the Collapse and that they spent centuries going after the Traveler.

The name has also been mentioned before, in Beyond Light. Salvation's Grip exotic lore tab:

[in winding Eliksni script:] Encased in the cold Dark, you cease to be a flesh-and-blood thing but become a memory thing, a thing of stillness. To have memory is to be storied and to be storied is to be worthy, yes, but to be still is to be dead. We have not been still since the Long Drift, and we will never be still again.

This season expanded on the Long Drift significantly, but it did not introduce it. Would've been neat to show that Salvation's Grip is useful at least for lore by saying that it mentioned the Long Drift by name before.

And on the topic of longevity, we knew about that as well. Specifically through Variks who spoke of the Whirlwind and the fall of Riis and his attempts to preserve the House of Judgment. There's also a gorgeous art piece of Variks on Riis in Grimoire Vol 2. This Grimoire released in 2019 (and Myelin worked on it). Obviously Forsaken and Beyond Light expanded on that significantly as well through Variks and Eramis. It's funny in context with the ask I got and everyone interacting with it; nobody was surprised that the Eliksni live long. We were just brainstorming possibilities why.

There is obviously a lot of time between the Whirlwind and present day, even without specific dates and timelines, given that the Whirlwind happened before human Golden Age. We always knew that the Eliksni can be hundreds of years old, going into a thousand and above.

It's very confusing to me that he's hyping it up as brand new information. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it can give people the impression that Bungie was sitting on Eliksni lore for 8 years without giving us the basics when that simply isn't true. Bungie's way of delivery has always been to give us hints, keep us looking and investigating and then deliver the conclusion at a later date. They teased the Long Drift before and maybe I'm remembering it so clearly simply because I was fascinated by the concept of it even before we knew the name.

Not mentioning previous hints can also create a belief that Bungie scrambled to come up with the Eliksni backstory for this season, when they haven't. They just expanded on it. And it makes sense that it would be expanded when we're in our closest relationship with the Eliksni to date. They had no reason to wax poetical about their history while we were murdering each other at every corner.

I don't know, I am just not a fan of manufacturing the idea that Bungie is stingy and isn't releasing bits and pieces all the time. I see no point in treating it that way when it's so much more fun to realise that something was hinted ages ago and if you paid attention, your wait was eventually rewarded and then you can also help other people discover the joy of following the lore over longer periods of time.

It's just personally fascinating to me when they give us more information and I can go back and pull older pieces that were hinting at it. I also like how seeing how new information sometimes recontextualises older information and gives it more depth and gravity, so I love diving back into older pieces to see how they work now.

It's a good video outside of that however. I am nitpicking because I am just incredibly pedantic.

#destiny 2 #eliksni #lore vibing #long post #me biting myelin for wrongly formulated sentences: 'can't help being a virgo' #but seriously though i am just so confused that he's acting like we've never heard of the long drift before #again totally fine if others didn't hear about it. but myelin? meet me in the lore pit #also sometimes going back to old lore can be yikes because things changed over the years and then it makes no sense #which is to be expected. the story has been going on for an incredibly long time and has changed directions many times #but you know. in any case most of the time there's hints before huge reveals. bungie is consistent about that #i like digging (no shit) through old lore and finding cool information that relates to something new and i like sharing it as well #i think it makes the whole story and setting feel richer than to just treat everything like it was never seen before
