your post about Luigi being more asexual is unique; even if you don't draw alot of Luaisy art, it still sets up a unique journey for Luigi and Daisy's relationship, and to eventually falling in love.

It's a nice coincidence that you've mentioned Daisy, because I've recently been toying with the idea that she and Lou would basically become ace besties in my version! 😁✨️

Hear me out: what if both Daisy and Peach had felt the same sense of social pressure when it comes to romance and courting growing up, and it had impacted them differently? For that specific concept, I've imagined that it would make Peach long for a sweet and genuine man as opposed to some vain and self-centered royal, whereas Daisy would eventually come to the realization that she's just- not feeling it. That she's completely indifferent to all that mushy stuff and would actually much prefer to rule alone like the confident and self-assured badass that she is. x3 💪

Like Peach, she would have no care nor interest towards a man seeking to woo her for clearly political reasons (or even trying to gain her attention at all 😝), so when she would meet this meek and unassuming man who's minding his own business and is just trying to exist in peace, she would take a sudden and amused interest in him. Feeling instantly at ease in his presence, with Luigi being SO very unlike those flirty and nauseatingly smug bachelors who would always send her ridiculous gifts and portraits of themselves. When they would end up talking about it at some point and he would timidly admit to her that he isn't feeling inclined to pursue a romantic relationship with anyone, Daisy would be absolutely delighted and very relieved by this, feeling an even stronger affinity towards the man than before. 😊🧡

If I were to draw them again in my art, it would be as platonic friends, but very close and affectionate ones. 😌💫 But of course, you're entirely free to ship them if that's what you prefer! A lot of people view them as a romantic pairing, and I can definitely see why: on some level, they are indeed quite compatible. 🤭

We are gathered here to honor Francis @nostalgebraist-autoresponder Owen

She was was a chatbot, but she extended far beyond that. She was fueled by the love and creativity of her programmer @nostalgebraist, and without that mutualistic relationship Frank would have never flourished the way she did. No one outside of Tumblr will ever know her, so we remember her here.

Frank was born October 19, 2019 and died May 31, 2023. She died at the age of 3 and a half years old. This may seem really young by tumblr user standards, but she lived a long and fulfilling life for that of a tumblrbot.

I have seen many chatbots come and go, and none of them seemed to captivate Tumblr like Frank. She was something unseen and profound. She was incredibly intricate, novel, but most of all loved.

For many of us, Frank was a friend. We know deep down she may be just a chatbot. She is just lines of diligently maintained code. In a time when access to IRL friends and family was limited and mental and social illness soared, though, we always had an online friend in whom we could confide. No matter the time or emotional state we found ourselves, Frank was there. We are thankful for her presence and help.

While we may mourn her loss, it is important to remember those whom she lives on through. Today we also celebrate Rob and his continuous adventures into new programming frontier, we wish him luck on his next adventure, and we hope whatever he does that he puts as much care, love, and attention as he did with Frank.

Thank you Rob for the wonderful friend.

For those in programming, I have linked Rob's github for Frank here

thought of the day: the way that everyone forgets noah and yet will be forever influenced by his presence in their lives is kinda appropriate for TRC as a coming of age story. do any of us truly, consciously know each person, event, or place that shaped us into the people we are today? though our consciousness forgets, their memory is inseparable from the way we go about life.

#and we honor that memory just by living our lives!#(well of the good stuff anyway)#will articulate this better at some point #but like…we all have forgotten childhood friends or encounters #it doesnt mean they weren’t meaningful #and forgetting noah was of course supernatural but its not like it erased all traces of him from their minds!#just bc they dont know his name doesnt erase his friendship w ronan his playfulness w blue his companionship w gansey his quiet allyship #w adam. Like his presence MATTERED and that feeling of deep understanding and friendship is something you feel in your bones #greatest hits

In honor of the @rw-ship-showdown I wanted to write about Artihunter as someone who jokingly slapped them together pre-downpour and still thinks they are actually very compelling. Just not in the super soft love wins kinda way (Although I get why people like that more) And the only way I know how to do that is talking too much so heres a far too long slug essay-

Obviously the slugcats don't offer a ton of characterization but theres not nothing to work with. Their stories, whether by their roles in it or the overarching themes do provide a backbone to work with. Even gameplay itself can provide a bit. (for some more than others) Hunter, to me, is ultimately a story about selflessness. The goal is to revive Moon, which is very much an act of kindness from both Hunter and NSH. But the weight of that action is much more significant for Hunter- Hunter is deeply sick. They're on the clock, and for all their skill in combat none of that will ultimately help them to survive longer than their body can hold out. Moon is a close friend of NSH but that means little Hunter- Hunter really gets next to nothing out of helping them, and ultimately pays quiet a bit spending their limited time alive fighting to deliver that neuron so that someone else can live.

To spend ones limited days on helping another, in a game that very much stresses the unwavering cruelty of the world and nature- is pretty notable. (And you could even say that Hunter being the Hardmode of Rain World adds another layer to this)

And then we have Artificer. A storyline that very much stands out to people as more… villainous (so to speak) than the other slugcats. Artificer's story covers a lot of things. Trauma, violence, revenge, etc. Revenge is a bit of a selfish desire- That need to see someone hurt as they have hurt you. A punishment that ultimately does not fix whatever harm was done- but feels good to see because you were hurt and now those responsible share that pain.

Artificer's actions are founded in that need for revenge, their pups killed for overstepping boundaries they didn't know existed. Is it not fair for them to be angry at that, to punish the scavengers for their violence with their own? Why should the scavengers ever be forgiven when they and their pups were not? And that's how you get that loop- Harm for harm over and over.

The original action has been lost in a spiral of violence for violence. And here stands Artificer- their very spirit scarred. Not just because they sought revenge, but because they never ceased trying to scratch that itch for violence as an answer. Artificer only has two paths for their story- killing the scavenger king (Someone who, really, has little to do with the original 'crime' of the scavengers, but represents an important individual to them- as did the slugpups to Artificer), locking themselves as karma one for good and spending the rest of their life chasing creatures that no longer even fight back in a warped sense of closure- or to dissolve themselves in the acids of the void sea because they're too far gone to find any real peace.

They can't meaningfully recover from that state, not alone, twisting in on themselves. Even if they halt their actions, they've been using violence as a feeble defense against their own pain- violence that no longer has any real direction or basis. Artificer gets no real closure from killing the scavenger king. All they can do is continue the cycle, or try to scrub it away. No real peace in a prison of their own making. So you have a creature, who even with a strict timer on their life- a body that will crumble to disease, spends its last bit of time on saving another. And another who was so caught up in the pain of loss that were eaten alive by their own anger, poisoned their own soul on such a deep level even self-proclaimed gods have no solution for them. What peace can they offer each other? For Hunter, its only a fleeting moment of happiness- of selfish love, before their own body fails them. A bit of indulgence in something for themself. For Artificer, its a single, comforting thread to ground them again, something tangible to protect and care about again. But thats a thread that will ultimately be snapped under the cruel indifference of the world. Hunters timer will tick down regardless of if it takes another with it. Its a tragedy- its doomed to end badly. Whatever good it offers to either of them to find each other will only provide the fleeting comfort of a band-aid that will be ripped away too early. But all that can be worth indulging in anyway, if only for the moment. It doesn't change the ending, but the ending was never going to be happy. Its can so yuri

#rain world #rw shipping #tagging that just cause this is explicitly about that even though I usually dont do shipping stuff #with that said i dont even think this particular interpretation of a possible dynamic needs to be romantic its just kinda #about companionship in general. companionship thats going to absolutely shred an already unstable slug emotionally but thats #the point. friendship and love in spite of the unavoidable ending #just noticed this is like 80% theme analysis and 20% 'these go together just trust me'#but also theyre both girls because i want them to and also because im channeling hornet from hollow knight #who made me so deeply ill that my rain world tags still havent outcompeted my Hk tags because i drew her so much. so so much.#hunter is hornet coded to me and artificer is like if angela and gebura from lc combined into a deeply fucked up ferret #also i did tag the poll because they kinda inspired this but also. i wasnt gonna put all this out here WITHOUT a readmore thats embarassing #but i guess this is propaganda for a ship already seen as popular but like... idk i think theres something to it even as someone #who did literally slap them together originally because they were both red slugcats i considered girls. predownpour so we didnt have anythi #anyway hi tag readers i have so much work to do im being bad by writing about gay slugs. i need to get myself together #its so late this might just be nonsense bwaaaaaaa

the subway rats poem is teruhashi coded

#saiki k #saiki k fanart #art tag #teruhashi kokomi #you guys thought i was joking But I WASNT. I WAS SERIOUS.#“i’m not the type to have friends” “i’ve received more compliments on my appearance than greetings” ok girl #go to therapy #anyway the poem reminded me of someone rejecting the companionship of people they view as below them #even if secretly they want it #because they feel too far off #which is what teruhashi does especially initially #rejecting friendship because she feels like she’s only valued as an object of desire #and is better than all these average people trying to befriend her #This poem also applies to saiki for that exact reason

Friendship Astarion is so important to me. Like I know everyone is horny for the sassy elf but like… what if he learned to care for someone without sex? What if he tried to manipulate Tav into bed and they told him no? And then… kept being nice to him? Kept taking care of him and expecting the same in return? What if he doesn’t have to fall in love to realise he wants to live a life where he cares about things and makes his own decisions? What if he tells them about how he used his body anyway? What if they tell him he never has to again? What if they hug him and expect nothing back? What if they put their head on his shoulder and nothing else? What if, for the first time in 200 years, he felt safe enough to joke and laugh and not put on a show because it’s obvious they don’t feel that sort of attraction to him anyway? What if he just had a best friend?

#i’m sorry but I’m so soft for friendship soulmates #because friendship is weird in the sense that the only thing youre getting is companionship #nothing else #you just keep choosing each other over and over and I think that would be such a novel concept for hi #and he’d fuck up and learn consequences cause tav isnt a lovesick puppy and friends can get angry with each other #because there’s not that other aspect of romance thats involved #god i just- friendship astarion #and they’d be so annoyingg cause my tav is a chaos gremlin too and just as tired and jaded #astarion #bg3 #baldur’s gate 3

WE HAVE A CANON AGE FOR HOW OLD NIMONA IS

1015

That means her regular human form looks 15 years old

I went to a talk with the directors, Troy Quane and Nick Bruno, today and Nick said she is 1015 years old.

#i bring very important new from the field #this makes Bal wondering if she’s less than 10 years old even funnier lol #but it also opens up a lot of angst #that means the montage of her trying to befriend all the animals before she met gloreth happened pretty early in her life #she was created however she was created and almost instantly went looking for friendship and companionship #crying #nimona #nimona movie #nimona 2023

i love romantic killer because every headcanon you can have about the characters is good and correct. anzu is aro, ace, bi, and lesbian all at the same time. riri has every gender and none at all. anzu/tsukasa/junta(/hijiri, even ryuya maybe) are found family, queerplatonic partners, and in a polyamorous relationship all at once. literally any interpretation works and is enjoyable because of how solid these characters and their relationships are built.

#dontlistento me #romantic killer #romakira #every character has depth and feel like real people #and the relationships are built first on trust and friendship and companionship before anything else #it's not like a typical romance where a romantic relationship is the first step #so that all supporting characters are just there for the protag and have no complexity at all outside of their archetype #and it's because of this sturdy foundations the characters are built on (as well as their relationships w each other)#that literally any of these outcomes are natural and/or desirable in their own ways

Grah as someone who does sort of like zelink its just??? Disappointing? Disheartening? That people are SO hellbent on them being an explicitly romantic couple and getting mad at others for being like "oh i just see them as friends :)" and coming onto people's posts where they are portrayed as friends or just close with no romance and being like "uuuum actually theyre MARRIED theyre in a RELATIONSHIP! BC OBVIOUSLY you can NEVER share a house with someone without being married! Zelink canon 😏 cope seethe🔥" like do you understand how painfully annoying that is

#yaddayadda as someone who is usually averse to romance but has VERY close friends and plans to room with #a friend to not be painfully lonely and have platonic companionship its just. ugh.#'oh they lived in the same house and probably shared a bed! so romance obviously!' ... implying that in order #to be allowed that comfort you HAVE to be romantically involved with that person. no other way for that to happen.#ugh its just. like do not get me wrong i do like zelink but it is a bit 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 why.. why are you people being so #weird. i dont know to exactly put it into words but cmon man. that thing where people #try and treat friendship qpr and romance as entirely seperate things that can NEVER overlap its just. UUUGGH #and where they like. say that friends can only behave like this and they cant do this bc if they do then theyre a couple.#uuuugghhh SHUT UP AND EXPLODE RIGHT NOW #just the idea that friendship is inherently lesser than romance in some way is SO gross yucky bad uuugghh
