In honor of me finally reading Kingdom of Ash, here’s what I think the core group of characters sexuality meters are:
Aelin: 60% attracted to masculine men, 30% to herself, and 10% to women that act like herself
Rowan: 100% straight (sadly, but like he had a whole cadre of beautiful men and never once thought about it? SMH) but also 100% approves of everyone’s sexualities. You could say you are attracted to large ships and he’d be like okay, good for you!
Dorian: 40% attractive to any person with a pulse, 60% attracted to people that can kill him
Manon: 90% attracted to herself, 10% to Dorian but like reluctantly
Chaol: 90% straight, 10% Dorian
Yrene: 95% straight, 5% Aelin
Aedion: 100% poly
Lysandra: 50% to Aedion and 50% to Wesley but never had felt anything towards anyone besides that
Lorcan: 100% Elide (anything he felt for Maeve was actually the feeling of desperation disguised as attraction)
Elide: 100% the most toxic ass people (She says she can change them and she’s right actually)

LCB Characters: Age theory
I don't know if we'll get anything to confirm these like we did for Ruina, but a friend and I were discussing the possible ages for the Limbus characters, referencing source material if possible
Yi Sang: 23-ish, a nod to the author he's named for, and his official dossier describes him as the "youngest" chief researcher
Faust: Mid 20s, no real evidence one way or another for her
Don: Either 21-22, or 28, she's very youthful, but given her source material she could be older than she looks
Ryoshu: 24-ish, about middle of the road, no real evidence to suggest her age one way or another
Meursault: Same as Don, either 22 or 28. The Stranger references M. Meursault to be a "young man" so he could be younger than we interpret him to be
Hong Lu: Around 21-23, given his everything he's probably at least among the younger half of the Sinners
Heathcliff: Late 20s if not 30, hard to pinpoint but in Wuthering Heights we know he's not a young man by the time we meet him, but this version of him isn't the terrible father yet.
Ishmael: Mid 20s close to 27, not much evidence for her, but we know she's been at sea for half her life so she can't be terribly old
Rodion: 26-28, no real evidence, she just strikes to be of the older half of the Sinners
Sinclair: 20, but barely, we know he's the youngest, but PM lore confirms Fixers have to be at least 20 to even apply. Unless he's lying about his age somehow
Outis: Mid to late 30s, we know she's up there in age, and was probably in the Smoke War which was 11 years prior to LCB's start, definitely the oldest
Gregor: Early to mid 30s, again the Smoke War puts a better idea to his age, also NPCs have described him as "old"

maybe this is a lil controversial, but i feel like as a community we just need to... just stop thinking that stuff we read about shifting is bible, if that makes sense.
you can read advice and follow it, of course!! following advice is great, but shifting is built on the principle of intention and you're own mind. nothing governs that but yourself.
there are no rules, you can do whatever you want, just set your intention.
you don't need a safe word, because if you set the intention you will come back to your cr.
you don't need to script beause if you set an intention of what you want to happen, it will.
as long as you have the intention to shift somewhere, you will. that's as simple as it is, that's the basic principle.

a ramble about arthur's relationship with dutch and hosea
haven't used tumblr in a while (let alone made an actual original post in who knows how long) but i can't stop thinking about that one interaction between dutch and arthur in lakay. specifically: "you sound like hosea." it breaks my heart, because dutch is right in saying that. as chapter six unfolds into the tragedy it is, arthur becomes more and more like hosea, and just like hosea, arthur tries and tries and fails to get dutch, stubborn and single-minded, to see reason.
one of my favourite journal entries, is where arthur says, "i love dutch like a father, but in many ways i love hosea more." arthur loved hosea. hosea saw arthur for who he was. knew arthur wasn't near as dumb as he liked to pretend he was. one of my favourite interactions between arthur and hosea is early on in chapter 3, very shortly after they get to clemens point. arthur walks by hosea sitting at a table, who calls out to arthur and asks what he thinks about dutch's plans. arthur's response is "you know me, i never did much thinking." to which which hosea says one of my favourite lines in the game, and it's a line that gives far more insight into arthur, hosea and their dynamic than you might first think.
dutch was arthur's father in a more abstract way. whether it was dutch's intention or not (and i believe, at the very least, it was later on), i always found his "you're like a son to me" comments to arthur to be very manipulative in nature, meant to reel arthur back in when he's concerned he's "getting away," so to speak. i have personal experience with men trying to get me on their good side by saying i'm like a kid to them, and maybe i'm projecting a little because of that, but the way dutch says that to arthur triggers the same alarm bells in my brain.
again: "i love dutch like a father, but in many ways, i love hosea more." say what you want, but hosea was arthur's true dad. he was his dad in all the ways that mattered. hosea knew arthur so well, he knew arthur was putting on "an angry moron act." in the video i linked, he sounds genuinely frustrated when he continues saying "but it's a thin enough veneer." he knows arthur is capable of more. is capable of being better, and i think hosea knew that things were doomed in the end, whether or not he would admit it.
arthur spent a lot of time, both early in the story and at the end, reflecting on what was happening, on himself, on the other gang members. i like to think he was unconsciously channeling hosea in chapter 6. honestly, the parallels are kind of painful. maybe that's, in part, why dutch was so adamant on not listening to arthur; because he reminded him, painfully, of hosea, his oldest and dearest friend. of course, that's not the only reason, but it makes sense, doesn't it? arthur is so much like hosea, and we see that more and more as the story progresses.

probably unoriginal thought BUT GUYS HEAR ME OUT: what if no one goes to the PM, and this causes a big ol conflict between the ADA and PM, which then cancels the truce???
I cant tell if this is too basic so no one brought it up or if everyone is too focused on the trade thing BUT LIKE WHAT IF??? MAYBE??? it could be either super boring or could open a whole new door of possibilities and plot points
I used to be on team dazai goes back to the pm but like idk i kinda like this idea bc it could lead to so many different things??? AND IDK MAYBE SOME HOW VERLAINE WOULD GET INVOLED IDK MAN MAYBE PLEASPELQPDLEKAPRBLQRJA
also if asagiri confirmed on twitter or an interview that someone is definitely going to the pm then um throw rocks at me and call me a dumbass bitch

i still hate the "activists" that throw tomato soup or whatever in artworks at museums. like what are you even trying to do other than force workers to clean your mess. i also don't get the relationship between art and the right to eat good food or to protect the environment, which is what these ppl advocate for. maybe i'm just not seeing the logic here but it doesn't make sense to me.
and by the way, i totally support acts like burning down statues of colonizers. yet that is not the same thing as white ppl (from what i've seen) throwing food at art, imo.

I just read another fantastic post that among other things, talks about the parallels between Sigma and Chuuya (I’ll likely reblog it in a moment) and it made me want to talk about them. So. 
I speed-read the bsd manga in like a day and one of the first things that struck me when Sigma showed up is actually how similar he was to Chuuya, and how many parallels they had! It actually made me start shipping them really strongly despite them not having had any actual interactions with each other yet, but this post isn’t about shipping, so. I’ll put that aside for now.
Lots of people have talked about it already but the first obvious parallel is the way they both have a very nebulous relationship with their own humanity. Chuuya and Arahabaki; Sigma being born from the book... they’re also both lacking childhoods to some extent as well, Sigma most of all. So they have similar backstories.
But more important is the way they’re both looking for a place to belong - and that they’re continuously being used by others. Chuuya is used by the sheep and the mafia, Sigma has been used by pretty much everyone his entire life... and this is imo consciously acknowledged by the author especially in the prison break arc at the moment. Chuuya and Sigma are literally paralleled as being the “pawns/pieces” of Dazai and Fyodor’s plans, playing almost identical roles on opposing sides, and I think that that’s done on purpose. Of course, as it turns out, Dazai isn’t only using Sigma for his power, whereas Fyodor very much sees Chuuya as nothing more than a tool, so there’s a key difference there, too...
I’ve been thinking about the differences between them too, though, and one thing that struck me was - Chuuya tolerates and accepts being used, where Sigma rejects it. Chuuya genuinely seems to be comfortable with his role in the mafia and doesn’t even really hold a grudge against the sheep for using and betraying him earlier. In contrast, Sigma is desperately fighting so that he won’t be used by other people anymore - this is a little muddied in that he did go along with Fyodor’s plans in order to get a home, and was letting himself be used in that sense, but right now in canon he’s completely turned against Fyodor and has made it very clear that he intends not to be manipulated anymore.
I’d honestly really like to see some fic that played with those differences and similarities between them a bit. Like maybe Sigma realizing how similar they are, and trying to push Chuuya to stop accepting the ways he’s used by other people?? On the other hand, Chuuya seems to have found a home in the mafia as well, or at least believes he has, whereas Sigma is still searching, so that’s another thing that could be touched on as well.
Idk. I know I’m just repeating what a lot of people have already said so maybe this post is pointless otl, but. I’m really excited for them to finally meet in canon, because there’s so much potential between them that could lead to some really cool stuff!
Tl;dr sigchuu is superior >:)

it's not that deep but the ground is soft and all that jazz, so i desperately wish to do a loose rewrite of wyll's arc because there are so many little details that could be added to make it hit harder. just. agh. so many gaps. so much potential. angst and headcanon bait practically.
how were the first days of exile for him? who were his childhood friends and where are they now? how much does he truly believe some of the stuff he says, and how much is just for the show? how does he truly feel about his father in arc three and after the game ends (depending on your choices, of course)? what is his relationship with his body like after it's been changed? you can literally go so deep.
my man barely is barely given the opportunity to acknowledge any conflicting emotions that he might have about things from his past without player input, and i get that it's so that your special little tav guy can feel even more special by helping him, but i'd personally prefer to see him struggle without that kind of guidance

Murdoc Family Headcanons Pt.2
•Murdoc's dad was actually a warlock, or at least performed some sort of black magic, but over the years, he started regretting it more and more and grew bitter over his powers, not using them anymore and forbidding any topic in the household to fall on them (maybe something happened, who knows 👀)
•The gruesome children's books that he wrote he obviously also read to his children, and found it amusing when they (especially Murdoc when he was younger) got afraid of monsters seemingly lurking in the dark, waiting to catch them in a moment of inattention.
•He's a satanist. He had a book of the occult which is how Murdoc came in contact with the devil for the first time, but he didn't remember it until after he had left the house, and although Murdoc despised everything his dad stood for and had done, he also knew the devil would be a very convenient way of getting what he wanted, therefore also sealing a deal with him.
•Maaayyybbbeee Sebastian was also so violent towards his children not only because he was an alcoholic (and a asshole) but also because they reminded him of their mother's who had left him.
•Hannibal cut his own hair and eventually just got a buzzcut, Murdoc tried to imitate his brother by cutting his hair himself too which went... disastrous so he just let it grow until Hannibal agreed to cut it for him mainly because Murdoc couldn't see anymore through his fringe.
•Murdoc stored alcohol at school, in his locker or under his desk that he had stolen from his dad, which was one of the reasons he almost always reeked of it.
•His school grades were absolutely atrocious but he seemed to almost bloom during music lessons and show a genuine interest. Even if he wasn't very good at the lessons, as shown in the Almanac, and his teacher hated him.
That's all for tonight folks. Feel free to reblog this and add your own opinions and headcanons, I'm not mad if this gets expanded upon!

2. fantasy high - it's so much fun. it's the og. it's the reason for my url. it introduced ayda aguefort to the world. really that's all that needs to be said
3. the seven - i fucking LOVED the seven so so so much. maybe my favourite crew of PCs in all the seasons ever
4. coffin run - coffin run doesn't get a lot of love but i am suchhhh a halloween vibes bitch it was truly impeccable. i LOVED jasmine as the dm and everyone's characters
5. mice and murder - i also love whodunnits. this dynamic of players was also hilarious and it being most peoples first time playing like made it even better
6. the unsleeping city - had a lot of cool arcs had a lot of cool characters weirdly i was just not very compelled by it? but undoubtedly hilarious and had really cool battles
7. starstruck - had some of the most iconic PCs in d20 history but then in the same party some i literally did not care for at all. had some incredible moments i still think about

9. bloodkeep - second season of d20 i watched ever. where my love for rehka shankar began
10. misfits and magic - aabria is SUCH an incredible dm but some PCs didn't get as much attention as others and i definitely noticed lol
11. ravening war - i really thought i would be obsessed with this but i actually still haven't finished the last two eps. BUT what i did see i really enjoyed and the battles were great
12. a court of fey and flowers - ALSO never finished im sorry guys high society is not really my thing but some dynamics were so cool to see and explore

More Scarian/Third Life Robin Hood AU
I've figured out the Royal Court
Let's start with the most obvious,
King Mumbo
He's currently the King of the Kingdom (I haven't named it yet, suggestions are welcome)
He's away at war
He's Ren's older brother and Grian's cousin
He's a good king, if a bit bumbling sometimes, and is loved by his people
He left Ren in charge until he gets back
He's Aroace so won't produce an heir making Ren the next in line
Speaking of Ren...
Prince Ren/The Red King
Ren is next in line to the throne and will get it when Mumbo dies
He is Mumbo's younger brother and Grian's cousin
He is in charge while Mumbo is away
He is a bit of a tyrant who always thinks he's right and wants everything done his way
He absolutely despises Good Times and wants him arrested as quick as possible
He is very protective of his family and friends
He lives in Dogwarts Castle
Ren calls himself the 'Red King' to show his authority until Mumbo is back, his court has been unaffectionately nicknamed the 'Red Army' because of this, Ren just rolled with it
The Resistance is hoping to either reform him or have him give up his claim to the throne
Ren is dating his closest advisor Martyn
Martyn/The King's Hand
Martyn is partners with Prince Ren
He is also his closest adviser and has been given the title of the 'King's Hand'
Ren also made him the Sherriff of Crastle village, the small town just outside Dogwarts Castle and he is in charge of catching Good Times
Martyn is extremely protective of his partner Ren and doesn't fully trust anyone else
He's very suspicious, especially of Grian as he sees the way he has interacted with Good Times and is unfortunately very insightful, this is a great source of worry for Scar
Prince Grian
Grian is cousins with the King and Prince, Mumbo and Ren
He is third in line for the throne which is what earns him the title of 'Prince'
It also means that Ren has him near constantly surrounded with guards because he will be king if anything happens to Ren which makes him cautious about Grian
Grian fully resents this and is trying to give his very tired guards the slip at all times, he actually has a lower number of guards than he used to thanks to the amount he's made to resign due to being an absolute menace
He is against Ren's ideas and jumps at the chance to help the Resistance and he definitely isn't even the tiniest bit influenced by how extremely attractive Good Times is, no, not at all, he has no idea what you're talking about
Grian is on Ren's council and pretends to support him, only pushing back slightly and rarely outright opposing him
He acts as a spy for the resistance, giving them as much information as he can and doing his best to help if any of them get caught along with his two ladies in waiting, Pearl (who he grew up with, they're like siblings) and Lizzie (a noble woman and 'ex-fiancé' of Joel, an old friend of his who defected from the Red Army and joined the Resistance)
He is head over heals for Scar and won't admit is despite being constantly teased about it
Grian is childhood friends with Pearl, Joel and Jimmy
He is also trans and everyone supports him, no misgendering in my AUs
He is still almost always wearing a skirt, he just likes them and trans Grian in a skirt is just so perfect lol
Pearl and Lizzie
Both of them are Prince Grian's ladies in waiting
Pearl and Grian grew up together and are practically siblings, they live eachother and are very protective of the other
Lizzie is the 'ex-fiancé' of Joel, a lord who betrayed the Red Army and joined the Resistance, in reality they are still together but Lizzie has to pretend to have broken off the engagement in order to stay in the Royal Court
Both of them work alongside Grian to spy for the Resistance and help them out wherever they can
Impulse
Impulse is the castle craftsman/blacksmith, he basically makes all of their weapons
While he is fairly loyal to Ren, but is more loyal to the villagers and will put them before Ren if it comes to it
He sometimes creates weapons for the villagers and if he knows that some of those might go to the Resistance? That's no-one's business but his
He is on Ren's Council due to his skills in weaponry
Impulse is best friends for Bdubs, when he was just starting out as a craftsman he made them matching clocks
Etho
Etho is the Head of Ren's guard
He is known for being silent but extremely intelligent and deadly when he needs to be, he doesn't often say much at council meetings but when he does it's always with good insight
He is the most loyal to Ren aside from Martyn
He is childhood friends with Bdubs, Skizz and Tango
Etho is married to a villiager from Crastle named Bdubs and, though they live separately, it's a very happy marriage
Skizz
Skizz is one of Ren's closest guards
He is fiercely loyal and will protect the king at all costs which is what has led him to being on Ren's Council
He absolutely loathes Good Times and will often take lead in trying to take him down, especially if Martyn is busy
Skizz is determined and will follow orders at all costs
He will run to Ren's side to protect him at any sign of danger, he is almost like a bodyguard to him but not quite
He's very jovial around friends but brutal with his enemies
Skizz is childhood friends with Bdubs Etho and Tango
BigB
BigB is a particularly wise noble staying at Dogwarts who is loyal to Ren's cause
He will often give good advice to Ren and is one of his most valued advisers because of this
He gets on well with Prince Grian and will often agree with him on not acting too hastily and trying to protect the villagers in plans to take down Good Times
He doesn't agree with the Resistance but sometimes think they have a point, however, he is very against how they get it across
BigB gets on well with Prince Grian but is unaware that he is a spy
So, there you have it, the Royal family and the King's Court

this may be ~controversial~ but honestly frick sequels. a bug’s life works just fine as a standalone and i’m afraid disney will ruin it with an unnecessary follow up where they’ll have to replace half the voice cast. if they’re going to do anything with this movie over twenty years later, i’d rather them give us some cute shorts instead.
give us the shenanigans the circus bugs get up to in the anthill during the time between hopper’s death and when they leave in the spring (christmas special anyone???)
give us francis bonding with the blueberries and dot falling asleep on dim’s nose
give us the adventures of the main characters in their childhood years, the ones we never got to see. (how did hopper actually become the way he is? you know there’s some trauma there)
give us molt just being an absolute goof and the circus bugs accepting him into their lil family just the way he is
give us flik and atta’s wedding you cowards

Serious post about members of the usmp because I've thought about it a lot: who will be the participants? And who's going to pick them?
Given the '6 leaders, with equal say in decision making' part, I believe that Dream will be picking the 10 english streamers, and the other language leaders. Then, the leaders for every language will pick 10 streamers themselves, with maybe veto power by Dream?
I think he will try to make the process as democratic and objective as possible, and getting leaders of each language to pick streamers from their community sounds like the best way to do so. Also, he doesn't really know all streamers everywhere (and he knows that! He said so himself, getting to know them is exactly what he's trying to achieve!!) so allowing people who know their mc community, are an integral part of it, and know who would work best together and on this project to pick those 10 people would be smart and get the best results.
I'm sure he may have some suggestions or requests (for example for the spanish ccs because he has interacted with a lot of them already) but ultimately I believe he will make sure to allow other leaders to make the best choices, or at least work closely with them to pick the best options.
Getting a person the english community knows for a foreign language just because they kinda speak it and we like them (like Tina, I'm sorry I love her sm but it's true) would mean losing a potentially really good korean mc streamer who korean viewers (and other streamers) know and actively watch.
Of course, if there's not enough people interested I'm sure primarily english bilingual creators will be added for other languages, but I believe the main goal will be having truly different communities come together.
We'll soon get the real answers to these questions, and I will be happy and support usmp (and Dream) regardless, I'm just having fun thinking about the logistics.
