being evaluated for adhd by having one of those full psych evals that last like two hours. scared frightened etc.... last time i took it i lied extensively bc i was 13 and thought they might tell my mommy if i said i had suicidal thoughts. and i still have a habit of lying to therapists bc i'm embarrassed......... AGH idk. what if i take it and they tell me that the reason im Like This is bc im genuinely just weird and shitty and not bc im mentally ill at all. SCARED
#which is dumb bc i have been formally diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses i dont think they can just take it back right?????#this is so stupid and cliche but what if i have been faking it........ all along........ Argh.#when i was in res i was put on adderall (bc the house psych just kind of experimented w meds LMFAO) and i had to go off them after like#two weeks bc it was affecting my appetite in a way i couldnt afford at the time lmao. but i do genuinely feel like it helped during that#time.... which is why i want to go on it again!!!! but im scared theyll just be like nah and i wont be able to take any of my meds anymore#is that crazy. am i being crazy rn. idk i truly do think most of my experiences w school and like. life could be explained by adhd and#when i was a kid they thought i had it but the two meds they tried didnt work for me so they just. kind of gave up#and i was really extremely unable to do school and graduated hs w an insanely low gpa and then dropped out of community college. LMAO. not#that people w adhd cant be good in school i just couldnt make myself do homework and couldnt listen in class bc i was too busy focusing on#listening. if that makes sense#IDK. idk. i know it's become like. a trend to have adhd is the issue and everything is being attributed to having it so im worried that ive#like. accidentally fallen in w that? even though ive thought i had it for forever and everyone has been like girl do you have this. IDK!!!!#idk. idkkkk im just like. genuinely scared. it's not the end of the world if im not diagnosed obviously but that means that#im just like this for no reason at all. and there's no way of helping it bc it's just the way i am. and i actually am just shitty n lazy.#epic. which incidentally is the proper name for how fucking long these tags are my bad. if you read this far sorry for being insane 👍

DMC AND HSR WRITER?????!?!????? i think im in heaven omg. dante and argenti with an s/o who bakes for them?!!??!!! pretty please??!??!! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
OH, this is adorable >.< I will let you know right now I will be making this request into full posts soon bc my heart is so happy with this idea!! <3
0.6k words
Dante
Tumblr media
♡He is the happiest man on planet Earth with this
♡As much as he prides himself on his body he cannot resist your creations
♡At first, he was a little weirded out as he is not used to people doing kind things for him 
♡But he sees that you do this out of love and each of your dishes is made special for him
♡This made him emotional when he realized that
♡Knowing that you love him so much that you take the time out of your day to prepare sweets for him brought him to tears
♡Dante starts calling you names like, “Sweets”, “Angel Cake”, and “Honey Buns”, partially as a joke partially because he thinks the look you give him when he calls you those names is adorable
♡He has tried to join you in the kitchen and he was actually pretty good 
♡Granted all he was making were chocolate chip cookies, he knows that baking is important to you so he does his best to respect your craft
♡Loves to come up behind you and wrap his arms around your waist while you work
♡He won't be in your way but he adores to spend time with you while you are doing something you love
♡To date, there have been exactly 4 flour fights that ended with you cracking an egg on his head 
♡He cleans you up after and makes sure nothing important was ruined
♡Dante is the type of guy who will bring some of your baked goods into Devil May Cry and brag that these delicious treats were made by his loving and beautiful s/o
♡Literally will not stop, the entire day he is just singing your praise to everyone around him
Argenti
Tumblr media
♡This man was so taken back when you first presented him with beautifully decorated cupcakes
♡Here you are the definition of beauty creating baked goods that are not only beautiful in appearance but also taste
♡Argenti is always so excited to try everything you make 
♡Your relationship is so cute because he likes to bring you gifts and you like to bake him things 
♡It is such a loving bond that you share everyone around you is jealous
♡He is not much of a baker but wants to learn the proper way to frost things
♡Argenti would like to be able to spend time with you and add to what you do so aiding you in decorating would be his thing
♡Whatever you make does not just get eaten it is savored 
♡He likes to take the time to fully immerse himself in what you’ve made picking out every taste note 
♡Very much the type of lover to get you both matching aprons that say something cliche like “kiss the chef”
♡This is mainly done so that every time you put it on he has no excuse to not walk over and immediately place a kiss on your lips
♡He feels very lucky to have found a s/o that has such a talent
♡The fact that you have such a cute hobby is one of his favorite things about you
♡He is also the type to now refuse to eat any baked good that was not made by you
♡Once he has tasted the best how could he have anything else?
♡Is convinced that your love and care are what make your baking so good
♡Argenti can also taste how you were feeling through your baking
♡If you ever made him a pie while you were sad he would know within the first bite and then be off on a mission to cure your sadness

Don’t fall in love with the moment / M.H
Matty Healy x female character
Word count: 1242
Warnings: non for this chapter
Tumblr media
Chapter three:
I allowed my body to relax. After all, cuddling with a guy I had known for 12 hours wasn't the strangest thing happening to me at the moment. “Oh hi darling” He said to me in a raspy morning voice, I kept staring at him, i needed to address the elephant in the room, but i wanted to do it subtly, sliding the topic slowly so that way it wouldn't seem like i had stalked everything about hm last night, which i had.
“Are you famous?” Yeah. Subtle. He just looked at me amused “I guess you did your research last night did you?” I blushed, in an embarrassed way. This was weird, very fucking weird.
“Look Matty, I had a great time but I think I'm just gonna leave'' I said. At that moment I realized I was still in his arms, cuddling with him, in his bed. I freed myself from his grasp quickly, attempting for this situation to end as fast as possible “No wait, don't leave ¡This is funny Claire!” he said “No, no, this is not funny this is weird” i shrugged, how could he not see how strange all this was. “Oh come on, just because I'm famous this is weird? I'm still a person you know?” He told me, sounding rather amused than offended.
I let out a sigh. I didn't know what to do, this could be a common situation for him, but it wasn't for me.
“I want to get to know you better” What was he trying to achieve with this? I just looked at him trying to figure him out. “Go on” i said
“Let me take you out, tonight, on a proper date. And then i'll let you decide if you actually don't like me.'' He was such a cliche, I laughed and he looked at me, waiting for an answer. He was dead serious “Uhm, I, I mean” I didn't know what to say. Was I really going to go out with a celebrity? I mean I was the one who wanted to spice up her life, but this seemed kinda public, and was way out of my comfort zone. I remembered he was still waiting for my answer “Yes” I said and he smiled confidently “But, nothing public, I don't want to see my face in any article or rumor blogs” “Deal” he said and it was sealed. I was going on a date with him. Tonight.
He asked me for my number and he said he was gonna pick me up. Matty wanted the location to be a surprise. “Okay. So I'll pick you up at nine and you'll text me your address?” He asked and i agreed
After I left his apartment everything that happened slowly started to sink in and in that moment, panic began to intrude my thoughts.
When I arrived at my place my friend was waiting for me, worried but mostly intrigued. “Soo… Would you mind telling me where you slept last night? But more importantly, With whom?” I looked at her amused. How on earth do you tell someone you slept with an international rockstar?
“Uh, well, you know, with some guy” I said , trying to sound indifferent, not making a big deal of it. “Well duh, I know that. I want names girl, and I'm a hundred percent sure you know it” I sighed in defeat, I wasn't gonna win this one “Matty” I said quietly. Sophie looked at me blankly “Matty who?” she asked, getting more and more impatient with me. “Matty Healy” I stared at my friend, eager for an answer, but her face just gave me an annoyed expression “Oh come on Claire, why do you care so much, just tell me who it is, maybe i don't know him” I just stared at her. Was he really this famous? “No, no Sophie, I'm not lying, I did genuinely hook up with Matty Healy” I said, almost laughing at her.
“So you're telling me that Matty Heally is so desperate that he has sex with randoms he meets in bars?” my friend asked “Well first of all. Bitch. And second. Yes” I replied. This was all so funny, and weird.
We couldn't stop laughing, my boring life had taken a turn in one night and it was the most interesting thing that had happened to us in a while. We continued talking for continuous hours, catching up and gossiping about everything. “He asked me on a date you know” i told her giggling “No fucking way” she said “When?” I looked at her and told her that tonight but she suddenly stopped in her tracks, turning serious abruptly “Are you for real right now?” i looked at her confused, was this a bad thing, a good thing or what “Yeah… Why?” She gasped as if I had said the most absurd thing ever “Why? you're telling me you're not nervous at all. Oh my god ¡We have to get you ready!”
Sophie's girlfriend arrived at our apartment at 6:00. My date was at 9 but my roommate insisted that i had to look my finest and to be honest i didn't disagree, after all, he wasn't just any guy, the situation had acquired a new importance that a regular date wouldn't have normally, it could end up public, a little slip and my face could appear in the cover of a magazine and i wasn't really sure if i was completely okay with that.
I was almost ready by 8:30 but my only concern was not being dressed for the occasion, I mean that would be embarrassing, even for me. I texted Matty asking what to wear but he only replied with a “whatever you want” Ugh, what does that even mean.
Sophie's girlfriend, Laura told me to just wear something casual that I could wear in a pub, but elegant enough for a restaurant, again what does that even mean.
I ended up going for a black skirt, some platform boots and a red top, I guess this could work for any kind of date. Sophie was over the roof, I let her take complete control over my make up and buy, she knew what she was doing. I was so nervous, I hadn't gone out on a date in a while now and I was scared it would turn out awkward or worse, he would get bored of me. God I am pathetic.
When I got the text that he was outside was when the panic really started to kick in. “No no no no no. What if we get photographed? Or he gets bored of me?” I kept asking Lura and Sophie, while I ran frantically in my apartment.
I was getting way too anxious and this was getting out of hand. It was finally when Sophie grabbed me and talked me down that I finally calmed down. “Claire, this is just a date, cut worrying about what he'll think, he's just a guy anyways” She was right, this didn't have to be anything but a normal date.
When I came down to meet him, he looked at me amazed. “You look amazing,” he said, unable to hide the astonishment in his voice. I just giggled and greeted him with a kiss on the cheek. We got in his car and I could already sense this would be a very fun night.
Hey beautiful peopleee, I’m genuinely so sorry this took me so long, and it’s also kind of short, it’s just that a lot of work to do and I just hadn’t had the time to finish the chapter, but I really hope you guys like it and always know I’m open to critics and comments 🫶🫶

oooh! May I have a (Control) Trench/Northmoor thing? Been a while and I loved what you did last time. Preferably something soft and light-hearted?
(I'm currently too clammed up and angsty and generally blah to write anything, so *someone* has to do it.) <3
catch me catching up on some not-quite-six sentence sat(or)sunday!
The interdepartmental bulletin had gone over like a lead balloon - at least in the executive suite. Its phrasing had been cheerful, almost irreverent, peppering in all the buzzwords du jour: synergy, community, appreciation, morale, describing the exercise as everything but what it actually was.
A bad idea.
Trench had seen the surveys go out - neat, painstakingly organized things they were - and for a good week after the copy machine had cooled off, each pneumatic THWOOP! of an incoming mail tube made him wince. There was no way in hell this didn't break bad, no. Way. In. Hell.
Yearbook superlatives were still yearbook superlatives by any other name; and maybe he wasn't some high-falutin' expert on the matter, but he was pretty damn sure this sort of juvenile popularity contest counted as archetypal, no matter how wild and/or wacky the categories were.
Whoever's idea this little team building exercise had been, well...he hoped they realized they were playing with fire. If not metaphorically, tempting the Oldest House with a tasty morsel of iconography, then, uh, literally. They might literally find themselves set aflame.
The thought occurred to him again when the day finally came and he found himself standing in front of the corkboard in the Executive wing, his eyes moving with slow, calculated saccades across the pages of dot-matrix printing posted up there. Perhaps, he thought - perhaps - they'd skirted the Oldest House's wrath through careful consideration (the sides of each sheet torn off perfectly at the perforations, the proper usage of an even number of Bureau-issued nondescript thumbtacks, the wise omission of any of those digital smiley faces the younger agents seemed so fond of those days), but he'd seen Broderick's name on the list. He'd seen the title he'd been awarded.
No one was out of the frying pan yet.
Like the cliche alone betrayed him, a familiar warmth filled the room. Without glancing away from the list, Trench swirled the (now steaming) coffee in his mug and took a sip. "Director," he said by way of greeting, not without the faintest upward tick to the corner of his mouth.
"Had one of these in high school, you know," Northmoor answered, all bluster and proud swagger as he joined Trench at the corkboard. "Most likely to succeed. You believe that? Like somehow, in someway, the whole graduating class was prescient. Who woulda thunk, huh? Oh, if only they knew..."
Ah. All right. There he'd been, expecting the water coolers to be bubbling over while the wallpaper glue melted off the damn drywall, and yet there was Broderick, grinning like the cock of the walk. Trench was still fully, fully of the opinion that this whole mess had been a bad idea - an awful one, really - but now he added an asterisk to that thought, a footnote down at the very bottom of his mental write-up of the scene:
The superlatives had been a bad idea.*
*But funny, too.
With his mug, he gestured towards the corkboard, offhandedly asking, "You've seen it already, then?"
"On my way in, yeah," Northmoor answered, folding his arms and squaring his shoulders in a self-assured stance as endearing as it was obnoxious. "Great way to start the day - really puts a spring in your step, doesn't it? Seeing how the rest of them think of us?"
Trench hummed a soft "Mhm" of agreement into his coffee, experience having taught him to savor it now, while he had the chance. Soon enough, he suspected, that wouldn't be the case.
"You hardly sound enthusiastic about it. Here, what'd they give you? Hmm...Zachariah...Zachari - ah, there you are!" His finger traced its way down the list from a safe distance, the paper darkening in a spot or two along the way. "Most likely to benefit from a vacation. Ha! Hey, you have to hand it to them, they're not wrong." Without waiting for a response, he continued, obviously just excited to share his own title. "Try not to look so grim about it, Deputy. I mean, it's not what I was voted, but c'mon...not everyone can be Hottest in the Bureau."
Echoing himself, Trench once more hummed in agreement. "True," he said flatly, hoping against hope there wasn't anything on his face suggesting how close he was to snickering. "You'll have to excuse my candor for saying so, but I don't think anyone here has a leg to stand on if they argue you're not the hottest one in the Bureau. That's just simple fact."
He waited. That probably made him as much a part of the problem as whoever it was who'd put the surveys out in the first place, but he did it. Trench waited until Northmoor turned to look at him, his grin sideways and shining and perfectly fetching; Trench waited for that very moment, and then, perfectly calm, fanned himself with the case file he'd been holding in his other hand.
The grin didn't drop all at once. But it dropped. Doubt flared in Broderick's eyes, then realization, then fury, then actual honest-to-god embers. The room positively wilted in the ensuing heat pouring off of him as he whirled around, shouting at some poor pencil pusher to "GET ME THE NAME OF WHATEVER CLOWN THOUGHT THIS COCKAMAMIE BULLSHIT UP," and Trench? Why, he loosened his tie. Kept fanning himself. He set his coffee mug down as its contents began to boil, and he forced himself to admit maybe there was a bit of truth behind those superlatives after all.
He probably wouldn't get a suntan from watching Broderick burst into flame upon realizing the whole Bureau had joined together to make a horrific pass at wordplay at his expense, but the ambient heat he was putting off was the closest he'd come to a tropical vacation in at least ten years, and if he was honest with himself...yeah, yeah, he was benefiting from it, all right.

Ugh

Okay, so the evidence from and support by actual experts saying systems can form in adulthood and from things other than trauma isn't enough for you.
"Fragmenting your mind on purpose" is not the only way to be a system but yes in fact you can. Also are you ignoring that the ToSD essentially posits that everyone is multiple in childhood and systems are created by something preventing the normal fusion process that singlets go through? Why are you even assuming singlet is the default? Because when endogenic systems aren't counted, plurality isn't the majority, though it even might be if we counted ALL plurality? (We don't know, because we don't have data on it.)
"Not a thought, it's a fact." Facts can be proven with evidence. Repeatedly saying something to try and convince yourself of it doesn't make it true.
Yeah alters aren't the only symptoms of CDDs. That's why both the DSM and ICD state if you have alters with no other symptoms you're not disordered. They acknowledge that you can be nondisordered and multiple as a fundamental truth.
Fakeclaimers and exclusionists are hurting the community. Endogenic and nondisordered identity is not. And quite frankly, if you think any IDENTITY not specifically based around intentional hatred and harm can be inherently harmful, you're fucking fascist.
Use of "moron" as an insult: oh look, ableism, why am I not surprised.
No, it's not existing as an individual if you have 2-2000+ names and personalities and desires and all those different "same single individual" act differently and sometimes conflict with each other. Even if they were just "parts" of a single individual, that would still count as plurality, because median systems exist. Already you're harming OSDD systems that think of themselves as fragmented individuals.
They'd usually actually say "oh, so you think WE don't exist", but it's clear you're not listening. anti-endoism is an extremist high control group religion which relies on the same thought-stopping cliches and methods as groups like mormons and Jehovah's witnesses I stg. Someone remind me to do a proper analysis post about that later.

As a northeast coast gal I am always on board with the Maryland hate but also I want to hear the backstory. why u r so upset with maryland
okay so I’m a midatlantic gal myself, eye of the storm that is the region. i live within day trip distance of baltimore city, the mountains, dc, and pennsylvania. i’ve also always been interested in history, and ever since i could talk i went around trying to dig up the history of every place i went, which was most of the east coast because of family members. and holy shit, were marylanders not happy for me to be doing that. okay here’s the only way i know how to describe it. picture a large antique house, built in the colonial classic style, the oldest house in its suburb. the house is owned by a pta mom named emily who meticulously grooms the exterior in an attempt to make it look brand sparkling new even though the roof is rotting actively and if you look at the windows you can see mold growing on the fancy curtains but if she catches you looking at her window mold she’ll bite your head off about how looking into other people’s houses is rude and she thought you’d have known better. maryland is that house. it is by far full of the fakest people i have met outside california and dc proper. every county in maryland who lives southeast of frederick and carroll wants to pretend that the northwest five counties are part of west virginia so they can continue to make “stupid hick” jokes without having to think that maybe they’re being reductive to people who are actually quite similar to them. every county besides those five northwest counties is also full of incurable phonies, except for baltimore city which everyone outside of the city loves to shit on endlessly as if they actually give a shit about any of the reasons WHY that city is a crab bucket when these takoma park bitches have never even been to baltimore besides the aquarium, they just want to write it off as the lost cause next door. maryland is like those cliche suburban horror movies where the real horror is how excessively normal everything seems. i’ve met people from all over the usa willing to call their states shitholes or at least beloved locations with some real big flaws, but not maryland, the state i have spent by FAR the most amount of time in. when i was fourteen i had a dissociative breakdown over this and I’m still not 100% reconvinced that maryland is in fact a real place and not some liminal matrix bullshit. in conclusion you all can shove your maryland pride right back up your crab hole. also the flag is terrible and i’ll die on this hill like the axeman of stamford fucking bridge.

*knocks on the door quietly, and then peek inside, bringing cookies and chocolate*
Hi Faye! :D How are you doing? I saw your requests for ask and questions, so, here I am bringing them to you! :D
1,2,3,6,9,13,20,27 and 28! :D I know they are a lot, so feel free to answer only the one you feel the most! No need to answer them all, if they make you feel overwhelmed. :)
--Nemo
Nemo!!
Oh my goodness thank you so much for the chocolate & cookies! Always a treat to hear from you. And always more then happy to oblige with answering those asks. While there are a lot, I am eager to answer them all. I am up to the challenge. Here, have some coffee for while you read.
Tumblr media
1) Who was your first ever OC? Do you still "use" them? How have they evolved over time?
Aww this is a treat! My first ever OC was a HC’d lovechild between Kisshu and Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew. Her name was Claire Momomiya and I adored her like nothing else. Even so far as to making a silly little comic book with a school friend. The writing was atrocious and very cliche middle schooler wattpad weeb. 🤣 So you know, grossly cringe. Ugh since then Claire is still used be she is completely separate from her original counterpart. She now goes by Clara and has matured a great deal. Although I don’t use her anymore, she is still such a memorable and precious OC that she will never be discarded. I will find something for her one day.
2) Who is your newest OC Why did you make them?
Yvette is my newest oc! I made her shortly after I started playing God of War and saw Tyr’s design. After hearing what a gentle giant he was, and then seeing him in Ragnarok, I couldn’t help but be smitten. That and comparing my own height to his. 😳 He’s such a sweet, wise soul whats not to love though? Even if he is a bit of awkward giraffe lolol. Between that and general simping gutter brain, I wanted to give him someone to love and be loved by. But not by me lmao. No self insert here. But uhh my gutter brain was strong with this one because size difference make brain go brrr. And somehow these became the horniest, most mature, yet sweet canon x oc ship I have to date. Whoops?
3) Biggest self-insert OC?
OOH! That would be my sweet pea, Faline! Closest tie with her would be Florence. Although both are actual self inserts. Faline has been my longest standing Self-insert (going on 2 years soon) and one that holds most of my similarities. Including my height, build, my autism, my not-so-great childhood, trauma, and mental health. Genuinely v little difference between her and I.
6) Do you have any OCs without stories? Will you ever create one for them?
I mentioned it before but Clara is currently the one without a story. Although I’m not quite sure if you’re talking actual physical written & completed story or just a general background. I’m assuming the latter, but please correct me if I’m wrong. I will eventually give Clara a proper story, but for now she is content seeing me bond with my other OCs.
9) Favourite OC?
Oh my Gods, Nemo; how can you ask me such a thing? 🤣Just kidding I can actually answer this. My beloved Claudia is my favorite. She was such a treat to create. To go from a minor character made to push a plot point, to then being one of my biggest muses, she is a gem and a half. She is as complex as she is beautiful, and I look forward to continue creating stories for her and Darius.
13) Which story has the most lore?
Oh Gods “Saints & Sinners” by far. Ash and I have spent almost two years developing that universe. It initially started off as a silly “what-if” thing but now we have a whole world, timeline, rules, deities for every basic thing, A deity hierarchy system, Soul-bondings, rules for said deities, the reset system, etc. it used to only focus on four characters, now its expanded to following 8. 4 couples, all soul-bonded deities. It’s an incredible experience.
20) What story are you the proudest of? Why?
Hmmm probably “burn scars” as of right now. Its still in the works but its pushing me out of my comfort zone to deal with more graphic, emotion-heavy scenes. Trying to capture something like that is not easy, but considering it’s such a crucial part in Darius & Claudia’s timeline I am determined to get it right.
What are your favourite movies?
I’m not much of a movie person in general but the ones that have higher chances of holding my attention are animated films. I’m the worst when it comes to watching films. Its like pulling teeth to get me to do.
Thank you again for asking me everything Nemo! I hope you enjoyed!
- Faye

I JUST FINISHED LICHT'S ROUTE LIKE OVER 12 HOURS AGO (I FELL ASLEEP AFTER) AND SO SPOILER ALERT. ALSO I START SCHOOL IN LIKE TWO WEEKS SO PRAY FOR ME HAHA-
Also I switch a lot between saying "I" and "Emma" in this post. Im sorry-
Tumblr media
NOKTO- NO, STOP. DON'T GIVE PORNHUB ANY IDEAS 😭
Tumblr media
Tell him, Licht 😤
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I- Licht, if I were to become Nokto's sibling-in-law.. What else would you end up being besides my husband? You really think I'm gonna marry one of your other brothers? Fuck no.
Tumblr media
I don't know, are you Emma's boyfriend? Is Emma your girlfriend? If so, then yes.
Tumblr media
It.. You don't want to be called boyfriend and girlfriend? Okay, that's fine. I hated it when my ex-boyfriend called me his partner or his lover instead of his boyfriend so I get it.
Tumblr media
No. Thats what Chevalier used. Be original.
Tumblr media
Sweetheart is actually a good way to describe Licht. He's a total sweetheart and I just wanna give him a hug, I don't even like hugging people.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am such a sucker for Licht's smile. He's one of those characters in which when they smile, you just want to smile too. I love it ❤
Im also gonna take this opportunity to info dump in relation to Licht-
So, I am still working on making ikemen ocs. I just decided to take a small break to rework the current characters I have and make them proper art and profiles. Might as well be happy with the finished product, yeah? And I already do have an OC for Licht.
This character does not currently have a design, all I can currently say on how they look is she has red hair and pale icy blue eyes. Their name is Mila Grayfield and her pronouns are They/She, they're 22 years old.
With how much Licht's route talks about his and Emma's love hurting each other, I figured that.. May as well make my OC for Licht be just as fucking tragic right? So here's a bit of Mila's backstory.
In my AU, the Grayfield family is a family of assassins, each generation tasked with assassinating the Royal family. This all started because of Glen Grayfield, Mila's grandfather. He was increasing jealous of the Royals and wanted that power for himself. So, he decided to make it his life's goal to try and take out the King as a well-known assassin. After he was caught and executed, his wife decided to teach his goal onto their children, Oliver and Leona, who carried on this ideal.
Leona then had twin daughters of her own, Mila and Mia Grayfield, who she trained to also be assassins. Mila showed the most promise so she was tasked with the most difficult missions. This harsh life caused Mila to become cold and reserved, hesitant with getting close to others but still willing to do whatever is asked of them. At first, she was deadset on rejecting the offer of being Belle, refusing to believe that her heart was beautiful or pure despite the life of sin they lived. But, since it was something to do to serve her Kingdom, she agreed.
Even after falling for Prince Licht, Mila refused to allow themself to open up to him or be vulnerable. She firmly believed that if he or anyone in the palace knew who they were, she'd be executed without a single question asked. And when the time to leave the palace came, they straight up told Licht it'd be better if he completely forgot who they were. Referring to themself as a 'dirty and hypocritical sinner who had no right to tell Licht how to live.'
When Sariel came to Mila and asked if she would return to the palace to see Licht, they just about refused. But gave in anyway. And thats about as far as I've thought up Mila's story with Licht. I still have more to plan.
I thought the idea of forbidden love between a prince and a commoner is way too cliche so.. Why not forbidden love between a prince and an assassin raised to kill him is a bit more interesting? It adds a bit more drama to the story if Mila actually understands Licht on an emotional and empathetic level over sympathetic.
Also, like most of my characters, Mila has a.. complicated relationship with their own family. Mila resents her grandfather and grandmother for the life she has to live, despite never meeting either of them. Mila doesn't know who her uncle is, as he left Rhodolite months prior to their birth. And her relationship with her mother is.. complicated too. Leona was always a kind and doting mother, but the pressure she placed on her daughters was too much.
As for Mila's relationship with her twin sister, Mia.. Its probably the best relationship they have. Mila adores her 'little' sister and does whatever they can to protect her, even if it means they have to take on more dangerous jobs and put their life on the line.
Also I currently have no idea whether I'll also make Mia a love interest OC in Ikemen Prince. Like- I know with Ikerev, I have both Iris and Kahlia as twins and love interest OCs. But I might not do the same thing with Mila and Mia. It all depends on if I can think one of the princes would be a good suitor for Mia or something. Dunno.

The character Barbie has been popping up on your blog and she is pretty and I am very interested in her. Can I hear some things about her if you have any ideas on her?
ahh, thank you so much for asking about her !!!! 💓💓💓💓 i love to word vomit about my characters :^) however, actually, barbie belongs to @dreamstatesims​, who graciously allowed me to share her. she is absolutely gorgeous (erica’s talent ... i am awestruck), and she has a fun personality, too ! all confident and extroverted and energetic, with a healthy spoonful of goofiness that makes her extra lovable. i think she may be the less cringe-y version of germán... they must be so obnoxious if you have to be in the same room as them asdhjksdsf
right now, the distant future plans for my story are quite undefined—i have things planned out through the early 1950s, and then just undeveloped plot points beyond that. i don’t know if i’ll actually try to ~storytell~ the period between the 1950s-1990s. however, my current intention is to have a future part set in the early 2000s which will feature, among others, miss barbie. i’ll decide on the final cast in 1798243 years when i actually get to doing this (maybe i solicit more sims from y’all, we’ll see), but barbie will be a main character ! it’s gonna be a Super Cliche, Teen Movie School Setting Situation (see this); gotta work on my royal simblr bingo card, anyway. something cute that’ll happen is that yesenia (who’s posing with barbie in the last picture of that linked post) enters the story as the Awkward Pretty Scholarship Girl and becomes miss barbie’s best friend. 
in the generic 2020s present day posts i sometimes make, barbie and germán are married and have four children: desideria (desi), malena, felix, and ... a baby whose name is either christina or isabel & birth order tbd??? skdfjsgsd pretty sure their wedding was the actual Wedding of the Century ✋ anyway, they’re the crown prince & princess after beatriz dies in ... tentatively 2023 ... then, they get to be king and queen like a decade later [everyone groans.] i just think they’re a very cute couple, and i feel like barbie’s got a good head on her shoulders which nicely balances out his head being full of rocks kgjdsglsd !!!!
my vague but firm headcanon is that barbie is BELOVED by everyone in uspana because she’s lovely and fun and a proper Influencer™ (she’s probably the only senior royal who runs her own social media accounts). planning to do one of those instagram template posts for her sometime soonish ... in the 2000s, the royal family had a lot of twenty-somethings who spent all of their free time partying and being photographed doing it, and beatriz had the bright idea to just ... embrace the celebritification of the monarchy to help it stay relevant. in my mind, barbie’s image is, like, the ideal outcome of that effort.
for the foreseeable future, i’ll continue to be ... living out my gameplay impulses by doing random photoshoots of her and the family. i want to do an outtake with her sometime soonish, on that note. anyway, move over germán, barbie is the REAL STAR now !!!

A/N: I made this as crack, but 👀 yandere CPC anyone?
 Prince Jack called your name, "dear? I'm sorry you had to see that…" 
 You clutched yourself tighter, bundled up in a locked closet. He couldn't get to you. You were going to be okay. 
 Prince Jack- the one who held you hand so lovingly, would sigh blissfully at any action you made- had executed somebody for the first time in his life. 
 It was a man by the name of Jeremy, who had dark yellow eyes and black hair, who had also called you a dirty servant in front of everybody. 
 You assure Jack over and over again how you didn't care, you were strong. But he only shook his head and said that he knew all those things.
 It was only last night when he mumbled, "you're mine. You're my beloved. Hurting your honor pisses me off more than you could ever imagine." 
 You still narrow your eyes at his language. You knew it wasn't proper for nobles to swear, but was too busy overthinking his words to comment on it. 
 It was only any hour ago when you actually saw the execution. When you saw the way blood splattered everywhere. When you saw the crazed look in the prince's eyes. 
 He was proud of himself, proud for killing a man. 
 Why were you so important to him in the first place? 
 You fought back a tremble, "get away from me. I never want to see you again."
 Outside your door, his breathing came to a halt. "It was for you," he said after a few minutes, desperation clear. "What do you want from me? I would do anything for you. I'd do all the cakes you'd like. I would work hard for diamonds and glorious jewels. Please, just-" 
 "I want you to leave me alone," you fumble around, trying to find a weapon of some kind. 
 "I love you." 
 "You're a psycho," you snorted at him. This only seems to make him hum pleasantly. 
 
"And you're the most perfect being ever created."
 You go quiet. You've never heard those words before. But…but no! You hate him. He's hurt somebody who didn't even do much. 
 He softly turns the doorknob. It's locked, you know. 
 With absolute horror, you realize something. 
 Why wouldn't he have the keys? He's the prince. You're in his castle. 
 He realizes this fact as well, it seemed, as he makes a quiet, "ah-hah!" and the keys make a slight shimmy sound. 
 You close your eyes tight, tears brimming them. 
 He has opened the door. 
 You should've ran when you had the chance. You should've pushed him away when he hugged you. You should've ended this sooner. 
 Why couldn't you see the signs? 
 He seems to be trying to calm you, his touches so gentle. 
 You open your eyes, and he marvels at them for a moment, looking into them like they could solve all the kingdoms' mysteries in the lands. 
 "Will you be my first mate?" He asked, leaning in so close, his pastel hair tickled your shoulder. 
 You barely fought the urge to laugh at both his clicheness and the delirious hysteria you feel, as panic set in. 
 Is he going to kill you if you say no? 
 "Y-yes," you struggled to take control of yourself. There is no other answer. You have family. You have friends. You have people you need to protect. 
Jack brightened, sparkles lighting up the dim atmosphere. "Great! Now, wanna help decorate the tree for Christmas?"

(G)I-dle - 2
Alright, let’s start off with the points average which is 7.5. That’s pretty good for any given album. I enjoy how diverse the songs were, a lot of them didn’t feel (G)I-dle at all to me, and I appreciate when groups are willing to experiment like that. There was an aespa song on here, a NewJeans song on here, and of course Wife is that pure distilled Soyoen sound.
The obvious issue, of course, is song length! This is a studio album by the kpop definition, but it’s only 20 minutes long! Like, what?? My main issue with most of these songs is that they’re good, but they don’t develop at all. Like, you can only cram so much into 140 seconds. Longer songs aren’t better by virtue of being longer; they’re better because they allow for more creativity and development of themes. And so when every single song but one is so short, nothing felt developed at all. This is an album of good ideas and decent execution. So many of these songs could’ve pushed 8’s or 9’s if they were just developed better. Really disappointing.
- I know Wife pretty well at this point, I listened to it a couple of times today. I also listened to a bit of Super Lady but it was kinda mid so I turned it off. I’m blind to the rest.
Super Lady
Bass
Yeah, definitely getting second gen vibes from this, that’s what the people on Soju Talk were saying
The chorus though is … alright? But I just want More from it
Like, Nxde has More to the chorus, or at least a proper post-chorus
Oh okay so this is what they meant by a YG outro lol, I stopped listening before this point
This is supposed to be their Nxde moment I think, but I don’t think this song deserves it
7/10
Revenge
Woah, are these strings? Free reeds?
I love this vocalist in this range. I dunno her name, but we get the same thing in Queencard and Nxde
Bruh this would’ve been a way better title track, love the guitar
This is a really nice song but it’s only 2:24. I will definitely be talking about song length at the end
8/10
Doll
A bit of guitar here too, but the pre-chorus is like, string plucks?
Mmm yeah this is a nice post-chorus
I don’t think we’ve had a nice bitchy Soyeon rap moment in any of these songs yet, have we?
7/10 for the length
Vision
Oh this is neat, this is kinda NewJeansy but it’s a nice sound that I haven’t heard (G)I-dle do much
Okay this is a neat rap I guess
Mmmm the whispering
7/10
7Days
Yeahhh this is the sound we like to hear, mmmmm
The days of the week thing is super cliche but oh well, kpop is known for cliche
“Deja vu” sounds like “day”
8/10, this was super pretty, didn’t do anything Truly special though, just really good
Fate
Piano? A bit jazzy? Not quite electro swing
BASS
Wow yeah, I can’t actually tell what type of bass this is
It feels non-synthesized, but it’s definitely … augmented
I’ve been too busy listening to the bass to actually comment on the song and we’re already on the rap verse lol
I dunno how I feel about the melody in the chorus
8/10
Rollie
Wtf is this aespa shit on my good christian (G)I-dle album
Yeah actually, definitely getting aespa vibes from this singing/rapping style
Plus the instrumentation ofc
Yeah, it’s fine i guess, pretty good
7/10
Wife
I have such mixed feelings about this song
It’s like they took all the Soyeon on a regular (G)I-dle album and concentrated it all into this song
8/10

YES! I had no idea what to do with that so I just... confiscated the jacket until her mom arrived and then it was her problem XD
Ugh I love camping too! And chickens are so fun! (I named one Crumbs once. But it was a friends chicken, not mine)
I actually had a lobster and a crab... once... both died horribly. Turns out my parents were NOT great with aquatic animals. XD
Lobsters shed their skin once in a while and it looked cool so my parents took it out of the tank as like a "souvenir" or something... little did they know that they DIE if they can't eat the skin they shed... so.... yeah. There is a very funny picture of me doing praying hands while my parents hold a tiny dead lobster over the toilet. I insisted he had a PROPER toilet burial service.
The crab, on the other hand, escaped the tank somehow made its way into the dirty clothes... and then it was washed.... uhhhhhh yeah that didn't turn out for him. :((
Nope! I have always wanted to go kayaking but never happened. Maybe one day though! And YESSSS I love pretty much every animal/creatures!
You said you are a theater kid... so, have you been in any plays? Annnd favorite board game?
-🌻
Your poor crustaceans 😭
I have been in a few plays, but I have to say that I'm like, the backup theater kid lol. A permanent ensemble member, if you will. I was in ensemble for Fiddler on the Roof last year (a cliche, I know), I was the police officer in 39 Steps, I played Nym in the Merry Wives of Windsor, and I've done a few small comedy skits for a few mini fundraisers we have each year! I'm also the main person in charge of our props and costumes (not by choice, there's just no one else willing to do it lol)
Favorite board game... when I was little I was absolutely obsessed with Mouse Trap, Zingo, chutes and ladders, and Operation. I'd have to say that Mouse Trap still holds the title of favorite. (But we also made up our own rules, so that's probably why)
What was your favorite game as a kid, vs favorite game now? (Any game at all, tag, board games, warrior cats, video games, literally anything)
Have you ever been in any plays?

Free Breakfast
Lance ran his hand along the wall, damp and cold. “This is the place.” he said, his words turning to steam as the temperature dropped.
“C’mon. Drop the act. I don’t want to be here any more than you do.”
His only answer was a distant knocking.
“All the cliches it is then.” The knocking grew in intensity followed by someone saying his name.
Lance shook his head. This was not the time to lose focus.
The knocking grew louder, more insistent. That voice…. Familiar.
Lance’s eyes snapped open. He was in his car. The knocking. The window.
One hand rubbed at his eyes while the other hit the switch to lower the window.
“About time. Thought you guys were called The Vigilant?”
As his vision cleared he focused on the familiar face of a female minotaur. “Ruby?”
She smiled and held up a paper bag and a takeout cup. “Breakfast is served.”
“What?” It took him a moment but eventually he reached out and took the proffered items.
“Big Break sandwich and a large coffee. You look like you need it.”
“Thanks.” he took a sip of the coffee and felt some of the weariness wash away with its warmth. “What do I owe ya, Ruby?”
She laughed. “Nothing. Levi called the order in.”
“Shit.” The director.
“Hey, you need anything else I’ll be inside.” She gestured back to the 147 diner over her shoulder.
Lance watched her go wondering just how the hell the Director knew as much as he did.
Almost as if summoned Lance’s phone produced an ominous ringtone.
Lance fumbled at the phone’s screen. “Lance here.”
“Ah, Agent, so you are awake.”
“Yes, Director.”
“Lance.”
“Yes, Director.”
“Go sleep in a bed, that’s an order.”
“Working. You know how it is.”
A slight pause and a soft sigh. “Yes, I do. The World has changed Agent. I’ve lost too many operatives to this shift. I don’t need to lose you because of your insistence on pushing yourself too far.”
Lance remained quiet. He knew exactly what the director was referring to. The Shattering or the Great Reveal or whatever other names got thrown at that day. The day that any kind of magic meant to conceal oneself failed. The day the mortal world was introduced to the Supernatural one. Rumour had it that fabled one word bandit was hot on the heels of whoever pulled that off before they ended up in a coma and that was over 2 years ago.
“Agent….. Lance, you still with me?”
“Y-yeah. Sorry.”
“Get some rest. Proper rest. Sleeping in your car in the 147 parking lot doesn’t count.”
“But, sir.”
“I need you at 100 percent, Lance.”
“The case? Marco….”
“Can wait. We’re already stretched thin. If you don’t want to go home the 147 is right there. If your lucky Ruby might even let you sleep alone this time and actually get some rest.”
Lance felt glad that this wasn’t a video call. “Yeah…. Rest.”
“Enjoy the time off. Everything will still be shit when you come back.”

The hero suffers from amnesia, and the filmmakers hope so does the audience, because that’s the only way Blackout wouldn’t feel like something we have seen a million times before — and yet, despite the familiarity, we somehow can’t quite believe what we’re seeing. In addition to the always convenient Laser-Guided Amnesia, what we have here is Die Hard in a Hospital if the Carter building from New Jack City had been a hospital instead of an apartment complex.
This is what people in the business of show call a ‘high concept;’ this time, however, whoever came up with it must have been literally high. And speaking of Die Hard, Blackout has ‘latter-day Bruce Willis’ written all over it; for some unfathomable reason, Nick Nolte has been compelled to appear in this dreck and assume the Willis role.
There’s also a McGuffin which happens to be briefcase which happens to contain… something. This is obviously an allusion to Pulp Fiction; the big difference is that in Pulp Fiction no one says what’s in the briefcase, but then no one asks — it is assumed that those who want it know what’s in it. Here’s where the memory loss angle comes back to bite the filmmakers in the ass.
The protagonist can’t help asking, since he doesn’t remember, what the briefcase holds, and to say that he can’t get a straight answer is putting it mildly; first he’s told it’s “the golden ticket” (sadly, this intelligence does not prompt an Oompa Loompa song and dance number), which at least is a reference to an actual thing, as opposed to Nolte raving about “The whos, the whats, and the wheres. The puppeteers and the puppets. The leaders and the members. The avatars and the aviators … Presidents, dictators, elections. Broadway theater.” And to think only 25 years ago Nolte was starring in Affliction and The Thin Red Line.
So cliched and predictable is this script that we automatically know things aren’t what they seem even before the hero’s supposed wife starts calling him by his last name. We can also easily and correctly deduct that whoever and whatever John Cain (Josh Duhamel) is supposed to be, he’s actually someone/something else.
It’s too bad they didn’t play this material for laughs, because only a Naked Gun-type farce could possibly get away with Blackout’s setting: a Mexican hospital wherein DEA and CIA agents and Cartel thugs beat and shoot each other up while nurses and doctors simply go about their business, completely oblivious to the mayhem around them.
Let’s say Eddie (Omar Chaparro, the only one here who appears to be aware of exactly what kind of movie this is) has such a stranglehold on this hospital that the staff (I won’t talk about patients because we don’t see any apart from John) not only do not call the police, but actually act for the most part like nothing out of the ordinary is going on — but what about the people outside?
Consider this: John kicks a bad guy through a fully illuminated stained glass window in the hospital chapel (it’s night out, which means that the filmmakers’ cluelessness extends to how stained glass works); the dude falls to his dead on the sidewalk, landing on what I assume is a transformer, because the impact produces a spark shower — but does anyone notice any of this or care, and if they do, do they care enough to report it to the proper authorities? That’s a rhetorical question, by the way.
Those who do know and care, such a John’s boss Ethan McCoy (Nolte), are unable to do anything about it since, although John manages to contact Ethan on a satellite phone, John can’t give him a location and Ethan can’t track him (“the whole point of a sat phone,” he and I are informed).
Oddly, Anna (Abbie Cornish) — who, to no one’s surprise isn’t John’s wife but nonetheless teams up with him against Eddie — presumably knows where they are (as in the exact address; at some point Ethan tells John that the latter is in a “Mexican hospital,” as if John hadn’t been able to figure out at least that much); her memory’s fine and she came to see John of her own volition, so why can’t she tell John so he can tell Ethan?
All things considered, this is a retarded movie populated by idiots who do the stupidest things, like asking “do I have a birthday?” Bro, your memory was erased, not your entire existence; of course you have a fucking birthday.
Blackout reviewBlackout plays out like any number of Liam Neeson action movies with the ridiculous level cranked up a few notches just…lylesmoviefiles.com
“[Josh Duhamel]’s got the presence and weathered, rugged looks to believably pull off a dude beaten down scores of goons and minions".
“Weathered, rugged looks”? Duhamel is so far from resembling that description that the movie itself refers to him as a “Ken doll.” As it turns out, though, this quote-unquote review is just an excuse to shill “The Transformers 3 Movie Collection on Blu-Ray on Amazon.” Shame on you!
BlackoutA man (Josh Duhamel) wakes up in a hospital bed with no idea of who or where he is. As he struggles to regain his…parentpreviews.com
“Imagine you showed a 12-year-old boy John Wick and The Bourne Identity back-to-back and then asked him to write a movie script. You would probably wind up with the screenplay for Blackout.”
Wait, those movies weren’t written by 12-year-olds?
“There is no rhyme or reason to anything that happens; yet somehow, I predicted all of it.”
You and me both.
“Maybe this is just a me problem, but I was very distracted by a really bad wig worn by one of the characters [played by Omar Chaparro]. I could see the edges and it looked extremely unnatural. Yes, that seems like a small complaint but honestly laughing at that wig was the only enjoyable part of this experience.”
As I mentioned in my own review, Chaparro is about the only person in this mess who looks and acts like he knows he’s playing an over the top villain in a cheesy 90s throwback actioner.
Spoiler-Free Review of "Blackout" (2022) on Netflix: Josh Duhamel can't remember who he is... - TV…"Do you remember how you got here?" Blackout premiered on October 12th 2022 on Netflix. The action-thriller film stars…tvfanatic.blog
“He’s the main reason why I tuned into this movie and he was the best part of it. I find him captivating in everything, including the Nacho Fries commercials for Taco Bell. I thought he was bad-ass in this film and elevated a generic script as much as he could.”
Amazingly, this review isn’t shilling a different, Josh Duhamel-related product.
Blackout film review: Josh Duhamel-starrer banks on B-action cliches-Entertainment News , FirstpostCast: Josh Duhamel, Nick Nolte, Abbie Cornish, Omar Chaparro, Barbara de Regil Director: Sam Macaroni Star rating: 2/5…www.firstpost.com
“ … when Anna tells Cain he works with Eddie in the cartel, his reaction, meant to be a high point baring a hint of ironic humour, is typical: “I have to wake up and be a f**king cartel member, are you bullshi**ing me?!””
Moreover, Cain randomly adds that he could have been a “carny” instead, as if that were any better.

Anime Update V2 33
Wolf’s Rain - The wolves and Cheza went through the cliche named Forest of Death, got lost for a while, followed the directions of an owl who spoke in rhyme and almost got eaten by killer insects until Cheza tricked them into getting eaten by killer plants. It was rather strange. But there was also interesting stuff with Lord Darcia and Cher on the side and I’m intrigued to see where that plotline goes. 
Hunter x Hunter - Hold it! Hold the fuck on, 1999 anime! No. No! You do not get to end at this point in the story, before the Yorknew City arc has even finished! Making this the series finale is not only INSANELY anticlimactic and abrubt, making it one of the worst, most underwhelming endings I have ever seen, but there are a dozen of threads that are still left dangling, especially the whole deal with Gon’s dad and Greed Island! What was even the point of that build-up if we get zero payoff?!? And were we expected to actually think the entire Phantom Troupe got killed off-screen and be satisfied with that, only for Hisoka going “lol, we’re still here!” in the stinger to be some big twist reveal?! Come on! In any case, the 2011 anime thankfully still continues beyond this point all the way to a proper ending, so like Fruits Basket, I’m on just one adaptation from now on.
Fruits Basket - The episode where Tohru and Yuki go to Ayame’s clothes store, now done in this anime. Not much more I can say.
Rozen Maiden - How much I’m into this series after it begun on a truly rancid premiere episode continues to astonish me. Suigintou has now arrived in the parallel timeline, gets into another “flowers VS feathers” fight with Shinku until adult Jun tells them to SIT DOWN, and now Shinku and Suigintou are basically flatmates and good lord, I did not know how much I needed this set-up, it is hysterical. And speaking of Shinku, Luci Christian got much better at voicing her by this point - still prefer Mela Lee, but she’s a very close second. We also got the glorious return of Megu, and for the life of me I can’t understand why a lot of fans apparently hate her, she’s easily one of the most interesting characters in the whole series. Adult Jun also continues to be interesting in how he lives his life and handles this Rozen Maiden situation, and I’m getting a sinking feeling that the advice he’s getting from “kid Jun” isn’t leading him the right way....
Honestly, the best part of this series is that if you skip Episode 1 and then ignore some stuff like the Hinaichigo weirdness that ended this round, you could easily see it as the continuation of the original anime we never got, finally getting to tell Rozen Maiden in full.
Fate Zero - It was a meeting of kings for drink and discussion, totally appropriate for Thanksgiving, right!? Gilgamesh is still the worst and had nothing of value to contribute to the discussion, but while I do agree with Saber that a ruler needs to have solid principles and feel beholden to a committment to a set of ideals higher than any mortal person, I was on Rider’s side for pretty much everything else. He demonstrates in word and in deed that he’s clearly the greatest king among the Servants, that he knows what the weight of such a status means for the person who holds it and those who follow him, and what it takes to inspire undying loyalty from his subjects and soliders. If he wasn’t a conquering, warmongering tyrant, I’d follow him readily!
Revolutionary Girl Utena - As the time where Utena must finally bring the world revolution begins, the show needed to pile on more mind screw with how Utena and Anthy’s relationship takes a shift following her realizing that Anthy is a user in an incest relationship with her manipulative and subtly abusive big brother. The part with Anthy and Utena casually admitting to “poisoning each other” followed by the fantasy sequence of Utena trying to stop Anthy from jumping off a high ledge really spoke volumes about what is going on with both girls, individually and in their relationship with each other. Also, yay for getting to see Nanami again! Utena needed her now!
Senki Zesshou Symphogear - So now that Hibiki’s secret is out to Miku, they’re having the breakup from each other that I’d expected. There was also a brief detour with Chris helping these two kids find their father they got lost from, and I wish this had been carried for more of the episode, as it was nice and really good at humanizing Chris. But then Chris herself also goes through a breakup of sorts with her master, the Big Bad who is pretty much literally Lusamine. I’m not joking, her attitude and even her design are near identical!
AMC: Talentless Nana - Watched both the episode where Kyouya closes in on Nana’s latest string of murders and almost busts her in front of their classmates, and the one that introduces Jin Tachibana, the one character who can out-Magnificent Bastard Nana (and who’s voiced by Jonah Scott in an eerily uncanny mpression of Liam O’Brien!). And yes it’s still fun and all, but the show’s weaknesses are visible at full force at this point for whatever reason, and I think two things helped to pinpoint it; first, the deaths of Habu and Kaori. We got next to nothing of substance from those two characters despite their closeness to Michiru and having distinct designs and talents (especially Habu!), which just shows how most of the characters in this setting no matter how promising literally exist for the plot and to be offed whenever said plot and Nana and Kyouya’s character arcs needs them to be offed. Second, Jin’s entire shtick is that he’s a shapeshifter who can impersonate other characters and even use their talents. Which makes you think wow, what’s even the point of those others if this dude can do it all and probably better? Even Michiru, who I do like, is a wate of a character who they do just the barest minimum with, and I’m glad she wasn’t a surprise villain like Jin impersonating her made it seem but she does need something to make her more interesting beyond her basic tropes. Dogs can be petulant and vicious - let the dog girl be vicious! Basically, Nana and Kyouya remain the only characters with any deep meaning to them in the long run, while the rest are just a buffet of side villains or victims.

Happy MGM from writingamongthecoloredroses! To your OCs, what cliche character would you describe yourself as? Chain smoking bad boy, the girl next door, etc?
hey @writingamongthecoloredroses!
Kamala: I’m a delight
Bran: She’s pure unadulterated chaos. Is that enough of a cliche.
Kamala: he’s the Grump Who’s Secretly Soft
(Kamala is currently verging on Manic Pixie Dream Girl but I think she’s just being very excitable today)
