#how to make them feel connected to a new interest i have? wtf am i on about
Note
Something wholesome to wake up too :D. I remember stumbling upon your post about both Megatronus and Orion being clerks/librarians/archivist thanks to the TF One movie making them both miners sooo have like my spin on it/headcanons based on the idea? -Megatronus and Orion met when Megs was still D-16 aka a miner. When Terminus managed to get a break from the mines, which was so rare, he would sneak Megs with him so the young miner could experience more. He took him to the Iacon Hall of Records since D-16 mentioned being curious about the history of Cybertron, there he met a young Orion.
-Orion and him would bond over data pads Orion managed to smuggle to the mine site, lots of them being old poetry and history that excited D-16. It is also how D-16 gets his name of Megatronus
-At some point, Alpha Trion catches on, and instead of being anger, decides "Eh fuck it, Orion needs someone around his age to talk to" //proceeds to yoink the young miner and giving him a better life
-Now a proper clerk for the Hall of Records with Orion, it is kind of chaos. It's basically "An introvert and ambivert become friends and they have to play rock, paper, scissors on who deals with people". Megs always loses, he hates it.
-Orion has def snuck Meg's poetry and writings into the records because he is so proud of Meg's work. Megs gets flustered.
-I lowkey just picture this AU being more chill. Yeah, Megs still wants the caste system gone, but is less violent about it, trying to use his words and peaceful protests first before being forced to go to more extremes. Orion maybe backing it up too because maybe the council just straight up ignored Megs because they see him as low-caste still and he's just "Ayo wtf".
-When maybe Orion becomes Optimus, Megs backs him up, helping archive everything while helping him connect with the low-castes who are wary of OP. Also def acts as OP's scary dog without realizing it lol
-Honestly i cant see clerk!Megs becoming the con tyrant warlord we know him as, I feel like he would be more calm and chill, preferring to spread his message while also like keeping OP in check so he doesn't become a tyrannt
-Would still call OP "Orion", and no one can stop him. Not even OP. As revenge OP scatters Megs poetry. In summary: Megs helps break the "serious and cold" prime act alot and helps a lot of the team connect with Optimus on a personal level
Sorry that this is long, but these ideas plagued me i hope that is okay!
YES
Ooo on Terminus and Megatron sneaking to the surface, and that being how Orion met him
Yes on the smuggling of datapads to D-16, and makes sense he'd get his new name from them
Alpha Trion just... Taking Megatronus has to have consequences, significant consequences
Sfsgd yes, "you do it" "no you do it" "you lost, you do it" "🤬🤬🤬"
Yes on Orion and Megs sneaking the poetry into the records, preserve it yes
100% this is a more chill au idea, always was meant to be a more chill au idea
Interesting way it changes Megatronus
We really "the power of friendship"-ed this up, it's v cool. Megatronus has grown into himself in a different direction, and I bet their friendship being earlier and arguably closer effects Orion in an interesting way
I am a SUCKER for characters calling Optimus "Orion" as a sign of closeness, oh it's gotta have fun moments
OO on the team part? Does the war still happen and Op and Megs are on the same side, or does the team unite in a different different way?

apologies for my absence- holiday periods are tiring lmao how were they for you? unfortunately we have yet to watch the fnaf movie, as our group is one that is exceedingly difficult to make plans around because we're all busy 💀 but then there's the one guy who doesn't want to leave his house lmao luckily, iv'e been pretty good at staying away from spoilers, so i've got that going for me. on the other hand, i'm planning to go see Trolls 3, and my mother and sister recently went to see the new Wonka movie. Though from what i've heard from a friend, Wonka's no good :// Yeahhh, if i actually commit to the mod, i'd have to learn pixel art and reteach myself code and programming 😭... i used to be somewhat decent at it. oooo yes i love a good choose your own adventure! they're so much fun and i've actually coded 1 of my own :,) it was through Visual Basics though, so the formatting was a bit weird for me lmao if you're going for a visual novel type of look and playability, I'd probably recommend Unity or itch.io? in my experience, Unity is probably easier to use.. theres another website/app i used but i can't recall the name sadly :( if i do i'll get back to you though! i don't have that much of a detailed request this time, but perhaps some fluff and love languages between rasmodius and the reader? or like hcs of rasmodius's evolving interest/thoughts arund the reader before finally getting together? i'd perhaps request nsfw/smut stuff too but tbh i just don't have any ideas 💛 tysmm :D -🔮
A/N: I’m glad you’re okay!! Honestly I’ve been sick these past couple of weeks (I caught pneumonia and had it for a month before going to the hospital. I thought it was a cold oopsies) I haven’t watched anything new recently but I am watching the third season of singles inferno with some friends. And I guess until I can figure out how to make a visual novel I have to write the fic out lmao sucks for me because I think a game would be better but oh well. What can I do? And like always I’ll try to do both!! Check back for the second one!!
Tw: cursing, slight nsfw but no full on smut. Let me know if there’s something I missed!!
Wc: I have no idea! But these are headcanons so 10+ is the goal!!
Sdv Masterlist
Okay so there are five main types of love languages.
Physical touch, Words of Affirmation, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Quality Time.
I would also like anyone reading this to remember that these love languages are how you want to be loved/receive love not how you show love to others.
I do think that Rasmodius is very connected to himself
And by that I mean I think he knows himself very well, or at least he thinks he knows himself very well.
And for a long time I think he probably thought that Quality Time and Physical Touch were his main two love languages.
I mean idk if it’s canon but in my opinion I do think he cheated on the witch with Caroline
And I’m not gonna go into it here because this isn’t about them, but I think it might’ve had to do with that and his own struggles with temptations.
And I also think gift giving is canon for literally every single character in stardew because that’s the main way to befriend someone.
But I think that after marrying you/beginning to date you he realizes that his actual love language is words of affirmation.
While Physical touch and quality time are still very important to him, being with you makes him see that he really does like being praised.
Like whenever you say that he has done something well, or that you like something he has done his heart flutters as if he were a teenager again.
Especially when it comes to his magic
Like I feel like the townspeople aren’t really fond of him
And they never thank him for the things that he does whenever they actually need him for stuff
Like the haunted maze
Like they’re just talking about how weird he is and how he got it done
But they never stop and say anything that’s positive like WTF
So I think he would appreciate whenever you thank him or praise him and it would go straight to his head (which one idk 👀)
With quality time I feel like you get a lot of it after he moves to the farm
Like unless he’s working in his tower, or you’re off somewhere like in the mines
That you’re like together even if it’s spent in silence
And he loves that
Like he was super lonely before even if he doesn’t want to admit it
So just being in the same room as you counts as quality time for him.
And if you’re doing an activity that’s particularly domestic
He’s in heaven like he doesn’t wanna make it a big deal
But baking and helping you around the farm makes his heart soar.
I think in terms of how he shows love i think he would show it in acts of service and gift giving
Like oh you don’t feel well?
Don’t bother going to the clinic he’s just going to create a potion that stops you from getting sick
You’re afab and you’re having bad cramps during your period?
Consider them gone
Look at this thing he got for you
And while yeah this might seem like either a lot of insincere
In his mind and heart this is how he shows that he appreciates you and wants you to live a good and easy life.
If he can make things easier and less stressful for you
That’s exactly what he’s going to do
He loves you and while he loves receiving attention and love he’s kinda crap at giving it in the same way because he just doesn’t really know how
So this is how he does
He’s VERY romantic sometimes and shows it through gifts and services.
Very cute and a good significant other when you get past his rough exterior.

hi i have returned opinions on secret life so far? (also any idea why bigb’s secret animation was different to everyone else’s?) :D
hi hi i have so many Thoughts that i will definitely miss Something but. lots of things. spoilers for ep1 under the cut obvs.
why is every ship getting crumbs. literally all of them. what is wrong with everyone wtf. (except treebark. treebark girlies stay losing)
new mechanic is insanely hype and i am going a little bit feral over it. i've been wanting a UHC-style season for a long time and this seems a great way to kind of. entertainment-fy it i suppose? cus as much as i wanted straight up UHC i can totally understand why players like joel or skizz or scar would struggle hard in that sort of ruleset and it wouldn't be very fun to watch as a result.
i'm a bit.. tentative about the more acknowledgment of the Lore this time around? On one hand i love it and i think it's incredibly cool but on the other hand i know well that lore can eat a series alive if let out of control. Especially when fans start getting pushy about their theories and disappointed when inevitably things aren't as explained or thoroughly confirmed or straight up forgotten. (<-- fnaf fan. i have seen it. it is horrible)
that being said i have trust in grian specifically to handle it well and not go off the deep end with it cus a good chunk of the viewers don't know/care for the lore and if it becomes a Big Thing then a lot of people are gonna end up feeling alienated and confused.
i LOVED Bigb's episode and i think it's like. the ideal way to incorporate lore into a series like this. the way you can Feel that something is off rather than it being explicitly shown. you can choose to write it off or dig deeper. it's good juice. I've mentioned this before but I'll say it again -- Bigb is easily one of the strongest roleplayers on the entire server and his editing REALLY sells it hard. He really melts into what's happening rather than getting up on a platform and shouting THIS PART IS IMPORTANT. LOOK AT ME. which i really appreciate as a kind-of honorary former theatre kid.
but yeah tl;dr i think lore/fan theories should be left to the fandom mainly otherwise it starts getting weird. that being said i trust the life series ppl and can't wait to see what's going on with this season.
now if i may be unhinged myself. i def agree with the theory that Something is up with Bigb's task and maybe whatever gave it to him is trying to mess with the game.
Bigb and Mumbo specifically I felt were acting.. a little OOC the whole episode? Bigb was very much on purpose i think and i reckon mumbo's just excited to be back lol but its fun to think about
the task system has a lot of potential for. fanfic symbolism fuel. i mentioned this on my spam blog i think but something something about the way the players' tasks almost seem to. mock them? a little bit?
like pearl's being to "earn" people's hearts after she failed to make any connections throughout double life and has been somewhat isolated the whole series. bdubs being known for his efficient and beautiful builds being told to make something ugly and useless. scott being implicitly called a parasite with his history of teaming and latching onto one specific person each season. etc. etc.
the teams this time around are looking interesting and i think it's worth noting how it almost feels like.. the opposite of limlife a bit? with how slow and cautious everyone has to play. it seems like over half the server haven't really even joined up with anyone yet which is intriguing. (im personally praying for a scar/jimmy team up. just cus scott said they wouldn't make it lol)
which is great for me cus i loved limlife but the chaoticness of everything did kind of. make deaths less impactful i think? if i see another sky bridge i might scream
im very. of two minds about the scott and impulse team up. because if you dig through my blog you'll see i have kind of a history of being unhinged about those two and their parallels. but i have the sneaking suspicion that their actual dynamic will be like nothing i had in mind lmao
overall i am very excited but trying to control my expectations
also um MUMBO AND LIZZIE ARE BACK AND GEM IS IN THE SERIES AND MUMBO AND LIZZIE AND THUBS ETHUBS ETHUBS ETHUBS ETHUBS--

LAST EPISODE Thoughts in No Particular Order,
(and from memory because I had one thousand million bajillion thoughts while watching the episode and I 100% guarantee I have forgotten half of them)
when Tome appeared on screen in her new uniform I screamed her name at 100 decibels in the highest pitch I have ever heard my voice reach I feel so fucking insane my GIRLLL does she even know what she’s done for my LIFEEEEE but also jesus christ I’m sorry to my parents for breaking the sound barrier and also their eardrums god forgive me
similarly high pitched was my scream of “SERIZAWA CAN ANSWER THE PHONE!” when. serizawa could answer the phone. bcause like. yeah. woaaagh
“Tome? Serizawa? Anyone home?” bro those are this man’s husband and daughter......
also speaking of Serizawa I am so proud of him for embracing his role as protector and guardian. he has come so far from his days of morally dubious self-loathing terrorism and I would place my life in his hands so willingly
THE FADE FROM SHOUJO TSUBOMI TO REAL TSUBOMIIIII the symbolization of the shift from the one dimensional framework of stereotypical main-and-love-interest relationship between her and shigeo to the truth of a connection based on honesty and acceptance!!! they are literally the blorbos of ALL TIME of all time........
tsubomi symbolizes shining acceptance for him tsubomi symbolizes a world where you can be your true self and not have to hide god god god god their friendship has so much meaning despite only realizing post-canon tsubomi takane I would readily die for you
just as it was so important that reigen see shigeo and not just mob it was important that reigen purposefully let his true self be seen. the healthiest love and care between humans necessitates that you let yourself be known as your worst, as your most destructive, as your most flawed and messiest self. and then you have to trust that you’ll be loved anyway. both shigeo and mob were already fully aware that reigen had no true powers but he needed to admit it himself; he needed to say it out loud so they knew that he would be honest with them. it’s a level of vulnerability that has always been dangerous for him, but just as shigeo had left himself vulnerable by taking over, reigen had to reciprocate that vulnerability to maintain their friendship. with no walls between them they could finally have true trust and connection and that is the most terrifying but also the most important and most wonderful thing in the world
it’s just them standing messy and torn and sharp and covered in dirt in the middle of a ruined city of their own making and it’s just them it’s just reigen and mob and shigeo, in the end. but they’re friends and they’re friends and they’re there for each other. they’re still friends and they’re there for each other. I am going to cry
the parallel frame of the two of them standing looking at each other where the background is gold and it mimics the sequence from the season three intro where shigeo is growing up but this time it is their real selves and not just the easy, idealized view of their relationship argahgrhgj. wahdhrvjf. waghf. agrh. a
ALSO the incredible fluidity but also the harshness and brutality and VIOLENCE above all the violence of the way studio bones animated the scene where reigen is trying so hard to reach shigeo and he just gets FUCKED he gets completely annihilated and smashed into everything and it’s hard to watch? that’s so so brilliant it is the messiness and violence of shigeo that mob and the viewer didn’t want to acknowledge but you have to see it. you have to see it and reigen has to see it and he is going to have to love it anyway. the show ever wtf
ALSO THE LOVE AND ATTENTION IN HOW THEY ANIMATED SHIGEO CRYING you can really see how much the animators respected and loved the manga there’s so much care put into it and the lineart and the coloring and the fluidity it’s so human it’s so real shigeo I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you so mcuj
speaking of shigeo he’s justt an angry teenage boy he’s an angry messy teenage boy and he can be selfish and destructive and hurt and pained but he’s not evil the show won’t treat him like he’s evil you know he’s not evil he’s just angry and he’s allowed to be angry and he’s so real I love him i love him I LOOOOVE You shigeo . god
like the choice to outline him in red which is so clearly a violent and destructive color but also he’s just shigeo it’s shigeo it’s your boy you’ve known him all along and it’s still him. he’s worried about his crush rejecting him
ALSO MY FAVORITE PANEL GOT ANIMATED FINALLY. *fist-pumping in the air* RITSU AND TSUBOMI FLOATING IN THE AIR <3333 thank you thank you thank you. the two most important characters in the world and in the story I WILL appreciate them. kisses them both on the forehead thanks for the whole narrative. #girl
speaking of. ritsu I LOVE him pointing and laughing at shigeo on the telephone pole so good it’s so good. ritsu kageyama is the number one character MOST objectively entitled to do literally anything to whoever he wants however he wants however much he wants forever. ritsu deserves to do anything. anything he wants. im bso proiud of him
ALSO THE RANDOM SCENE OF THE HAYSTACK WIG FLASHBACK WJAT WAS THAT. WHAT was that why did bones add that what was. am I forgetting that was that in the manga w. damn no matter what happens ritsu is too real to forget how much of a loser his friend was huh. honestly. fair! but RIP though
he’s not even mean about it he doesnt even say anything u should be thankful terOH YEAH WAIT TERU
TERU’S HERE HE’S BACK!! MY funny rich little capitalism mathboy. mine. and I like his hair actually!
REI UNIFROM REI UNIFORM REI UNIFORM REI UNIFORM REI UNIFORM REI UNIFORM REI UNIFORM!!!!!!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR FEEDING THE AWAKENING KIDS FANS OUR SCRAPS WE R STARVING
alsooo the fact that teru is positioned with his awakening lab kids in the ending sequence CRIES my god FRIENDSHIP IS THE POINT OF IT ALL...
RITSU SMILE!!!!!!!! EVERYONE SHUT UP
also ritsu and tome both making fun of reigen crying oh my god they r so right so cool so true 10/10 I support them bully him harder
also im still crying about tome graduation
heck what else?
OH SHOU yes yes okay SHOU AND SERIZAWA man. it’s so complex. them going from cornered child and neglectful adult (and shou canonically hating serizawa at that point) to genuinely healing and being able to sympathize and befriend each other. just a quiet background detail but such a meaningful quiet background detail I feel like I’m melting
tsubomi’s post-canon phone call outfit is so cute. the giant plushie is v cute. she is so cute. and also I love her did I say that btw have I mentioned that i love tsubomi takane did I say that. have I said that yet. I love tsubomi takane so much
lastly............... shigeo expressing himself. sincerely this series means so much to me and shigeo means so much to me. god.
excuse me to cry forever please

Just rambling about InuKag dynamics I don't see ppl talk about.
this is 'long post' disclaimer .
Its a ghostly day today, and I have it all to myself. So while defrosting this english muffin I started musing about what sort of dynamics I like most in fiction. Like not just romantic wise. I wanted to figure out what was.. the tension? I enjoyed most... between what two archetypes?
And I what I noticed is that I love a good Mentor/Mentee dynamic. It's something that's been pretttyyyy consistent since childhood. (I can't name any atm to help my argument but you feel compelled to keep reading)
However, I didn't see how this would fit InuKag? My Titanic? My ship of dreams? My childhood? InuKag sometimes stands out like a sore thumb compared to my other interests. I was going to chalk it up to "Well it's baby's first anime so.." UNTIL..
I realized the fandom tends to focus on how Kagome helped Inuyasha (recover his lost heart, humanity, the unconditional selfless love, understanding ect.) but like.. we don't really talk about what he provides for her as much? And I'd love to indulge you with my take but we'd have to go over why I think Kagome decided to leave the modern world and opt for a life in wilderness of the Feudal Era.
Yes, yes. A big part is Inuyasha. That is a huge driving factor. But Im saying step back and see what's happening in the grand scheme of things.
I think..for Kagome..her romance with Inuyasha acted as a portal to a type of freedom she didn't know she craved. He acts as a guide of sort. He gives her access and safe passage to explore this dangerous world fully without fear. It reminds me of when I was with my first bf and I was over the moon happy when I realized I could walk around at night with him. It was THRILLING to my sheltered teen ass. It was like I was holding the key to the VIP room. I was allowed backstage. He was a door that opened me up to new experiences that would not of been available to me at that time otherwise!
And then the benefit of being immersed in nature. With your lover. Who is a figure that exists outside of the society that was keeping you locked up in the first place. Kagome's name is also referencing 'a bird in a cage'.
Like?
Kagome also serves as a guide for Inuyasha. She brings him back from the liminal space of the forest to the village/community/connection. Again opening him up to the possibility of trusting others and forming bonds and setting down roots in the village.
Kagome also represents us the Audience. She is our perspective. She is "The Ordinary Teenage Girl". She's pulled into the well like we are being pulled into the narrative. She grapples with her identity. Her purpose. Her abilities. She's lip singing to Kelly Clarkson with her hairbrush in front of the mirror. She's trying to get to school but...OOP...You know what? I'm 16. I'm suddenly in a fairy tale. The faries spirited me away and I can't take the test right now. The magical jewel was in my hip you see. I'll think about high school entrance exams later when I'm done shooting my sparkly arrows.
You can't sit there and tell me that you didn't long to escape the druggery that came after graduating lol? The what so I do now? The who am I ? And where do I belong? What major do I want? I have to buy a house now? No? I have to fix my credit score-
No babe. You're going to hitch a ride on your bf's back with ya hair down and eat fruit by a waterfall. He's going to ask you wtf a test is to the sound of a million birds chirping in the morning. Then you're going to go back to your loving village that welcomes you home and calls you a hero.
It makes sense that she stayed. It makes sense. You just gotta... see the vision.. you gotta FEEEEL the escapism.
Anyway yeah lol. Not really a mentor to each other per say but their meeting was a catalysis for a lot of growth and learning and trials and tribulations that changed them for the better. And it just feels similar.

Melanin Goddesses
Tumblr media
Request: hiiiiiii. I would like to ask you if you can make a headcanon of the Wammy boys reacting to their S/O Fem with brown skin and very thick thighs. If you have time and it doesn't bother you. Since your headcanons are so cool.
A/N: Hey there! I don't write for Matt when it comes to Wammy boys because I don't know his personality at all. Forgive me for that. The reader you described is literally me- wtf. Ps: I am a person of colour/ Indian/ too (just adding this before anyone gets mad.) Literally don't ask me what I wrote, I have no idea.
Warnings: Little suggestive for Mello.
Death Note (デスノ一ト)
Tumblr media
L
This boyo has no interest in any physical characteristics. He only looks for personality, intelligence, maturity and understanding.
But he would be lying if he said that your melanin skin and thick thighs aren't a cherry on top.
He is literally so pale, so he was really entranced by the colour difference.
He thinks of you as some beautiful deity who ascended from heaven.
The first time he saw you wear shorts in front of him; he had a weird urge to bite your thighs??? (A/N: L what?)
He has always wanted to try resting his head on your lap to see whether it would be comfortable, but he is scared of making you uncomfortable.
You shuddered as you felt someone bear holes on your thighs. You looked up from your phone and saw L squinting at them.
"Something wrong, L?" you asked.
He shook his head but kept staring at your thighs.
"Uhh..is there something on my legs?" you mumbled, feeling very conscious.
L looked up at you and blinked, feeling bad for making you uncomfortable, "No, I just want to rest my head on your lap."
You stared at him for a few seconds before cracking a smile, "go ahead."
Tumblr media
Near
Near is childish yet mature at the same time.
Therefore, I conclude the above-mentioned statement by deducing the fact that this lad would rest his head upon your legs while he talks about the most disturbing conspiracy theories, darkest cases etcetera. (My thesis is ready lmao.)
He mindlessly traces shapes on your arms, thighs...basically, anywhere he has access to, it makes him so relaxed 🥺
Overall it is all about emotional connect with him.
Near was laying on your tummy. your thighs rested on his shoulders as you two watched Howl's moving castle.
"Howl and Sophie are literally made for each other, "you sighed.
"But technically speaking, isn't Sophie like...60?" near replied while thinking and drawing circles on the exposed flesh of your thighs.
"I mean, yes, but he is a magician and she does, slowly, turn back to normal," you answer.
"Yeah," Near closed his eyes and turned around, burying his face in your chest, " 'm sleepy."
Tumblr media
Mello
1 word: simp.
You know how that one audio that goes: "I Just Shot My Shot at this Lil Fine, Wonderful, Succulent, Lovable, Incredible, Cinnamon Chocolate!" Yep, that's him when he looks at you.
Unlike the other people, he will absolutely not hesitate to just randomly pick you up and put you on his lap.
Love-bites everywhere he can get his hands on!??! o//o
The kind of guy who would just randomly ask, "crush my skull between your thighs."
Also, he squeezes the flesh of your thighs to get your attention.
When he is driving, his hand is always resting on your thigh when it is not on the gear.
He just loves teasing you so much and seeing you get all worked up.
"Pay attention to me, babe, I am telling you something, aren't I?" Mello huffed, sitting in front of you.
"I am almost done with my-" your remark was cut short, by him squeezing your thigh.
"Mello," you warned.
"I am sorry, it's just too squishy!" he pouted and you had to leave your work in the middle just to listen to him ranting about this new chocolate flavour.

Anon again lmao. Thankyou so much for all the recommendations and I’ll definitely be checking them out. Oo I agree that mini bot Sam has a lot of potential. I love the idea of minicons not being that common anymore from the war and I saw this piece of lore somewhere on tumblr about how minicons had a fear of being trampled or not treated so well hence why they view bigger bots as clumsy and reckless. I look forward to seeing what more you add to your au. :DD Sam fr could be such a pest and it would be interesting to see what alt mode he could have as in RID (which I somewhat despise) we see minicons such as Fixit, Slipstream and Jetstorm. Of course there’s others but they seem to have a range of useful alt modes to bigger bots e.g. weapons, extra armour plating. So it be interesting to see how Sam’s new status would be taken with the bots and how the relationships would be. Especially if Sam have to choose a host or a bot to be close to. Somewhat like cassette bots bonds. I love the aspect they need this connection to keep their spark stable.
Oop sorry for the spam. I like to chatter too much. 😆 totally not stalking ya blog.
Sam realising his a bot _| ̄|○
Sam being told minibots can transform and be helpful partners to larger bots ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
Sam when he realises he still doesn’t know how to transformer or even if he has a helpful alt form and the autobots are just as awkward and walking on eggshells about having a minibot around for the first time in forever (c" ತ_ತ)
I think that’s why I thought Prowl would be an interesting choice with Sam cause from what I’ve learned about his character he’d probably get over the precautionary factor around Sams situation the quickest without to much thought and start incorporating Sam into routines around the base.
Maybe Prowl picks up how Sam can move amongst larger Bots without them perceiving him and Sam’s natural trouble magnet to have him fetch and find out who’s doing shit their not supposed to. Or using Sams human nature in feeling peoples and bots changes in mood or behaviours to aid in handling human to bot communication or complaints.
Also having the bot most at risk of being physically taken hostage or captive by his side means he doesn’t have pankicked autobots running around trying to find Sam thinking he’s missing.
And while Prowl fully believes he’s not Sams larger bot partner everyone thinks that’s how their acting. Envy it just a little bit to but other bots even Bee and Optimus get a bit lost in how to handle their former human friend now bot
Though if I had to think of another bot I could see minibot Sam working well with would be Jazz, both deceptively good at disarming Bots and humans with their behaviours while noting personal details and information to use later. And Jazz’s relaxed approach while believably acting like everything under control comforting to Sam’s anxiousness. Little intel hunters that make Prowl alarmed at how much they know
I am so stuck on alt forms for Sam 😅 the funniest idea I had was a high tech Bat, something bots would be like wtf at seeing another bot wield still they hoods are smashed in while also being familiar to Sam as a human
And don’t feel bad or nervous about spamming or rambling!! It’s actually so enjoyable to have people talk or ask questions at length for something I can talk with!! I get like huge imposter syndrome over wether I have valid ideas or takes so feedback or interpretation off something I’ve created or said is like crack to me

Tsuzuru: “who did you scout?” Izumi, knowing full well that Tsuzuru’s annoyed by Kazunari: “teehee it’s a surprise!”
ksdjbvhdfvf i would love to see Tetsuro on stage
also smh Tsuzuru there are characters who don’t talk in stage, not everyone has to have lines (for example: Kattrin in Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children)
Tumblr media
Chapter 2
heheh Kazu and Yuki time
ah Kazu beloved… you can afford to be a lil less shallow with Mankai, i promise honestly i do think that his reason for joining is okay? like yeah you can join into / try new things just because, but Mankai wasn’t in a position to afford that back then
fdgfchgvjhbk Kazu come on I do love how he didn’t lose his energy with the info that Yuki’s a dude 
oh Yuki my dear Friendly McExtrovert won’t even be your biggest problem regarding troupemates in this arc
MUKU IS HERE
Tsuzuru vouching for Kazu despite everything
but also guys please don’t ignore my baby boy
baby boy
good, Muku, speak out for yourself!
It’s so weird to hear Muku and Yuki call each other by their last name now
Muku bby you haven’t auditioned yet, please don’t talk like that
Tenten!
Chapter 3
Tenma wtf’s up with that attitude you literally just went inside
Honestly i admire Izumi’s patience with him, i would’ve gone “look do you wanna be here or not?”
sdkhvbdfhv Yuki’s me
pot, meet kettle
Tumblr media
istg if you don’t wanna be there you can just leave
Kazu you’re just calling him a nepobaby
Tumblr media
i’m glad Yuki keeps calling him out, and even gladder when he did it after Muku felt like he had to apologise bc of his sigh
Muku bby no one said that
thank you, Yuki and Izumi
hm i’m puzzled about this line bc i did hear it change? I wonder what Izumi said in japanese
Chapter 4
kdbvhsdbvkd Yuki at least Izumi held an audition this time around
Tumblr media
no one’s forcing you to be there! shut up!
Tumblr media
mmmmm i don’t like this line
Tumblr media
also idk if Tenma’s problem is not knowing how to read the room or just… knowing how to read it and not caring
ITARU AND CITRON FUDANSHI REAL?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
haha hello fourth wall leaning Also Tsuzuru, you’re literally an RPF writer, you have no room to talk
Tumblr media
the impulse to call Tenma a culicagado
Tumblr media
thank you, Izumi
something something Sakuya’s acting having inspired THE Tenma Sumeragi
“halfway decent” those weren’t your words in Ep 1 Ch 35
why are you like this
Sakuya you’re too cute ;w;
Chapter 5
I do love how Kazu mentions Tsuzuru as a reason to stay at the dorms something something longing for a genuine connection something something Tsuzuru being important to him already
I’m glad Izumi double checked with the parents even when the kids tell her they have permission
i’d forgotten just how endearing Muku’s dad was 
it would’ve been interesting to see Kazu and Yuki as roommates
“Savage, but valid!” is actually one of my fave reactions to things
Tumblr media
but also something something Kazu being a people pleaser something something letting people walk over him and be “savages” to him because he’d rather take it and say it’s “valid” than to upset someone or rock the boat in any way
Chapter 6
SUMI TIME
ROOM 202 MY BELOVEDS
Chapter 7
i can’t contain my smile i love Sumi so much
i love Muku so much too
Kazu being friendly despite not knowing if Sumi’s a ghost or not will always make me feel warm
also i wanna highlight the fact that these people are barging into his space and screaming their lungs out and Sumi’s reaction is to offer them triangles you can’t get more kind hearted than that
I have the softest smile on my face just watching Misumi’s sprite slide around the screen
when a rando breaks into your dorm do you a) call the cops b) ask him to join your theatre troupe
i’m glad Izumi made the choice she made but it’s still so funny to me
ngl tho i do wonder if her choice has anything to do with the fact that Sumi just admitted that he has nowhere else to go
kinda wanna write a piece on the dehumanisation of Misumi now
Kazu and Muku the sweetest boys ever
Citron and Misumi being friendly to one another makes me feel so warm inside
Chapter 8
honestly i think that, for his first time, Yuki did pretty okay
(Muku was too anxious but still i do appreciate the effort very much)
MISUMI ACTING! 
i will forever love the change between normal Misumi and acting Misumi
Misumi’s voice in his first etude w Tenma is so hot 
Chapter 9
i love how Kazu treats Sumi so much, even when he asks something that seems airheaded like the “what’s Summer Troupe” question, Kazu takes his time to explain everything to him ;w;
okay i’d forgotten how cute their relationship was, they got me smiling like a fool now
i love Yuki’s comments and comebacks at Tenma so much this one’s one of my faves
Tumblr media
this is an interesting line and i’m so curious about what it says on japanese i know he’s talking about manga, but tbh when you say “comic book hero” i think like Superman (or maybe it’s the MAWS brainrot) and i kinda doubt that’s what Muku meant here?
Tumblr media
Chapter 10
is it me or are there… “mkyk could be victims of homophobia” implications here?
NO MUKKUN THAT’S NOT WHAT YUKI MEANT (he’s thinking the other way around)
it IS very cute that they all arrived together 
honestly? yes, Muku, you should call an ambulance unless someone at Mankai has training to deal with it, you should call an ambulance (i am doing my best so i don’t go on a rant about what to do in emergencies based on my first responder training)
Sumi, no don’t feed an unconscious person, please don’t put anything in their mouths
Izumi i love you but that’s not how it works (says the person who faints and gets up a couple minutes later)
See, even if he’s just sleeping, the fall could’ve caused some damage to his body, so he does need to get checked
sorry Izumi but i’m with Matsukawa this time around, the generational gap IS something to be dramatic about
i LOVE how Kazu has got the solution for this, we love a nerd 
Chapter 11
maaaaan i’m so emo at Muku’s general perception of himself his teammates were nice to him and seemingly just wanted to see him more often? but Muku still thinks he disappointed them and says that him possibly being a track star is silly and *cries*
also i don’t wanna be a nag but i think Muku should’ve told Izumi about his injury when he first joined, the practice could’ve maybe made it worse and i would HATE to see that happening (trainer brain: on)
Muku’s such a team player and someone who cares so much about others i love him
yEAH THEY STILL CARE ABOUT MUKU and i’m so upset about Muku not seeing it
Tumblr media
Muku my boy, those kids seem to genuinely care about you, i don’t think they’d laugh at you
yes, thank you Izumi
YES IZUMI! i love how she hypes him up in this way
sobs in Floral Prince
Tumblr media
he’s such a cutie
Chapter 12
oh man i’d forgotten how stiff Yuki and Muku’s acting was at the start
i feel so bad for Muku his anxiety is so bad ;-;
hm i do know that Muku’s always been timid and anxious but now i’m wondering if maybe his anxiety got worse after he had to quit track
i’m not gonna lose my temper i’m not gonna lose my temper i’m not gonna lose my temper i’m not gonna lose my temper i’m not gonna lose my temper i’m not gonna lose my temper HE’S SUCH AN ASSHOLE TO MUKU I CAN’T
everyone coming together to comfort Muku, thank you
THE START OF MISUMI GIVING TRIANGLES FOR COMFORT
Chapter 13
y’know i don’t get why “amateur” is a bad thing
i DO appreciate Tenma’s respect for Sakuya and trusting him with this 
have you never heard of synergy?
Tumblr media
what kinda directors has he had ‘til now to think like this????
Tumblr media
lol i love Izumi’s reaction to his proposal
he’s so proud of it too lmao 
Chapter 14
this kinda nitpicking i can stand i’m finally starting to relax lol
oughhhhh this line says so much about how Kazu performs in social environments too and aaaaaaaaaah Something something Kazu understands and sticks to his role of paripi but he stays on the surface and never tried to go deeper with / make something more significant out of any of the relationships he has
Tumblr media
hey how much do y’all wanna bet that Kazu knows the right answer to this but acted like he didn’t?
Sumi giving Muku triangles makes everything right in my life
Muku is such a good boy he works so much and cares so much and and and ;w;
Chapter 15
oh i will need some mental strength to make it through this chapter
spoilt brat. 
oh An’s gonna have a field day with this line lmao 
fucking spoilt brat.
thanks, Yuki
i’m clenching my jaw so hard just to get through these scenes
ah this line
Tumblr media
i know that it’s true, i know that Kazu knows it’s true but holy fuck this line always stings so bad
AND KAZU’S REACTIONS MAKE IT WORSE! HIM NOT KNOWING WHAT TO SAY AND TRYING TO BRUSH IT OFF STING SO BAD
my chest is actually in pain rn
Kazu having no way to defend himself against that comment because it’s true, and he knows it’s true, and any reaction he could have, be it going along with it or getting angry and defending himself, would prove that Tenma’s right and it would make Kazu’s mask slip completely 
Chapter 16
Izumi is so much better at being a caring adult than i am
she’s also way kinder to Tenma than i would be ngl
which i guess was needed because we’re finally at the point where he starts getting better, thanks to her kindness and understanding
something something people grow and thrive better in a caring and understanding environment
okay i’m finally calm with this whole situation
Chapter 17
seeing Tenma try is so nice, actually, i’m relieved
YEY MUKU FOR MAKING IT 
for once i do feel like Izumi, i can’t stop smiling either
Chapter 18
heheh fireworks (let’s ignore the fact that i don’t like fireworks because i do like this part very much)
sdkvhbhdfbv Kazu and Yuki being little shits is so fun
okay yeah Tenma’s very cute in this scene, him being both naive AND showing that he cares about the rest in his fear? good shit
Kazu is so right about Tenma missing out on school activities being a sad thing him being the one to point it out makes me wonder if he’s either speaking from experience (having focused so hard in his studies that he didn’t get to enjoy the social parts of middle school) or maybe just projecting? either way, i think this is a nice line to read with the knowledge we now have about Kazu, it kinda foreshadows the reveal that’s gonna come soon
oh i am SO fighting Kusumi for this one
Tumblr media
LIKE LITERALLY WHAT WAS THE REASON WHY WOULD YOU NOT LET YOUR SON GO ON THOSE TRIPS? I DON’T SEE ANY REASON FOR THAT OTHER THAN PURPOSEFULLY BEING SHITTY IT’S NOT LIKE HE CARES ABOUT MISUMI BEING AROUND ANYWAY
Sumi sounds so happy when he brings up being nc with his family but then you look at how he feels about Madoka and… yeah ;-;
yes, thank you Kazu
i was gonna say Tenma was being tsun when he said they weren’t friends (yet) but he IS right, they’re not friends at this point, they just started being friendly
this scene (and CG) made me laugh a lil from joy
Tumblr media
Chapter 19
oh Kazu… this… hm… (this is where i insert my “Kazu flirts to keep people at a distance” hc)
Yuki’s disdain for all things romance my beloved
for once we agree
Tumblr media
i do appreciate that the messages all the boys send are vague enough to be interpreted as not flirty
except what Kazu wrote for Yuki, that one’s just annoying
Good intuition Izumi
hm do you guys think Kazu’s “making up for lost time” line applied to himself too? because him being the one to initiate the gossip session makes me feel like it does
Yuki’s disdain for all things romance my beloved (2)
ngl i always found the wording here a bit weird like he’s specifying about who he does like when he’s trying to clarify something about who he doesn’t like? my only guess is that it’s like this for the audience’s / fandom’s sake
Tumblr media
everyone validating Yuki’s masculinity is so important to me, actually
wording here is also weird but it feels more in character 
Sumi you’re too cute, never change please
n e ways this feels too yume-bait for me so i’ll stop commenting
Chapter 20
heh Sumi recognising Yuzo is so cute to me do y’all think Yuzo ever babysat him? i think that’d be cute
it’s very interesting to me that Yuzo’s criticism of Muku is not that he was bad or wrong in any way? but that he was gonna get overshadowed
hell yeah Yuki deserves all the praise for his work
Kazu too! He’s so talented
i love the designer duo, even if Yuki said no to teaming up and being a designer duo

Saaaaab how fuckin' good is HOTS? It's so very good, and I just want to yell about the episodes everywhere. I feel like I have a long essay in my head about it, especially concerning episode 4. I am so curious to see how episode 5 - the episode where he lost his mind! - goes, and then how things wrap up in Gwangju with Neuron.
So just some random things:
The fact that he filmed these episodes around other major events - MAMA, NYRE, Paris Fashion Week, the on the street filming - honestly still blows my mind.
I love that we're getting to see Hobi interact both with older mentors of his and mentors of his mentors. Like, it sounds like Hoseok got instruction from Lock Woong when he was a trainee, but also that Hak Nam was trained by him to some extent, too - that's such a cool thread of continuity! But not only that, I'm glad that we're seeing Hobi with mentors 10, 20, 30 years older than him. There's this idea that dancing has an expiration date - it's a key part of "Black Swan," for instance - and I've felt like Hoseok (and Jimin) leaning into music so much partially comes from recognition of that. So it's really good to see people show that _not_ being the case, that these are passions he can keep pursuing for the rest of his life.
The choice of "Still Life" and "People pt. 2" for these episodes is just so, so good, both because the dances to them were bangers (his dance to "Still Life" is just a piece of JOY and I want to watch it a thousand more times) and because of how thematically they connect. Like, I wondered for the longest time why he went with "People pt. 2" as his choice to dance to - but wow, does it make a perfect thematic fit for this episode. Both of them are such good thematic fits for their episodes, tbh, and then I just get all in my emotions about rapline and their bond with each other again. And I am fascinated by the version of the "People pt. 2" choreo they used, because it is _not_ what was uploaded before, nor what he showed Yoongi on SUCHWITA - it's much moodier in nature, I think.
Speaking of music, I have never grinned as hard at the screen than I did at the three-way dance to "Rapper's Delight." Fuckin' aces, that.
And one last thing: I mentioned before that I hadn't expected to see so much on the production side of things, but it's also super interesting how it contrasts with the dancing in the episodes. Hoseok's known for being confident in his dancing, less so in his music, but the way these episodes are structured is the exact opposite of that. All of his vulnerabilities come out in relation to the dancing: the quick way the project got off the ground; his feeling that he's lacking or won't be able to execute the way he needs to; how much he's striving to reconnect with the roots of his love of dancing by exploring all these different styles (and let me tell you, I have never related to Hobi more as a 30+ adult than watching him approach his 30s and suddenly become fascinated with roots). He looks far more relaxed and confident in the ending credit studio bits, and I think that really highlights the difference between this and _j-hope In the Box_. And I love that choice.
--also the choice to credit the entire crew of the Lockers in episode 3. And their definitions of the dance styles so far have been super on point for tiny paragraphs in the corner of the screen.
All in all, I'm so, so glad this has turned out to be as good as it has. And I really hope if there is a Volume 2 that he tries even more different kinds of styles in all new places. Honestly, if he wanted to do ten volumes of this series, I would be there for every one, because it's just such a delight.
OMG another wonderful essay on Hoseok and everything HOTS!!!
I had the same thought when watching episode 4 about how he managed to film this docu in the middle of EVERYTHING ELSE he was doing in 2022...like dude, WTF???? The others were saying he was the busiest man alive and based on what we KNEW that seemed true, but it was a whole damn understatement actually, we barely scratched the surface of how much he was doing that year into 2023, he's insane! Hardest working man in the industry for real...
I could cry actually about how beautiful of a point that dance is for anyone at ANY AGE! Because yes, yes, and YES! The idea that the older someone gets they might have to slow down or stop doing something they love 'cause you ''grow out of it'' is total bullshit, like if you're physically ABLE to, nothing should stop you from continuing. Dancing is not something that has an age limit, nothing warms my soul quite like seeing old people dance 'cause it's about expressing joy and movement and is a way we enjoy music! So yes, I also love him including dance masters of older ages, showing him and others that you can keep doing what you love for however long you wanna do it!
I don't feel like I need to add more to your points 'cause you said it all perfectly and I feel and think pretty much exactly the same way about all of it, from his song choices from the other RL members, to the song choices in general throughout the whole docu have been pretty on point, and how fascinating it's been to see him talk through and process his thoughts and feelings about his career as a dancer, rapper, song-writer, and everything else he is, both in his confidence and his uncertainty, and how Hak Nam talks him through those thoughts and feelings. I just love it all! I can't believe it'll be over by next week, I feel like I'm gonna be crying through the entire last episode...also praying for Volume 2, 'cause yes, if he wanted to do more I'd watch every single one and love every bit of it!

I will be honest here (and please let me know if you think I am reaching) but I think mxtx herself has been working through an gray or demi ace thing through her stories. Because like. Shen Yuan? That guy reads as someone who has no idea what love or attraction is even supposed to be. Wei Wuxian (while flirting with quite a few people) has Lan Wangji as his one and only romantic love of both lifetimes. And Xie Lian- as you've stated- is definitely experiencing all these new romantic and sexual feelings for the first time and is overwhelmed.
Now, I have ventured outside of mxtx (not...a lot, but still) and I havent seen anything to suggest that this is a genre convention?? For example, Chu Wanning or Zhou Zishu do not give me this vibe. Maybe I am reading the wrong books haha, but I have started to get the feeling she was definitely working through something (authors always put more of themselves in their work than they think)
hi anon, sorry this took me so long (i’m honestly still marinating in my own possibly grey-aroace revelation and so this ask sent me into a spiral of sorts). i think you have a point — idk about mxtx herself, but all 3 of her protagonists can be read as different types of grey/demi/aroace narratives.
what they all have in common is this particular total obliviousness to the romantic situation unfolding. not that they’re blind to what is happening, but it’s as if they have zero frame of reference for what that they are feeling. they don’t think, oh it’s a crush, i’m having romantic feelings for this person. instead the reaction is more like, ?????? suddenly i want to kiss???? why do i like them so much???????
off the top of my head, wwx’s blossoming feelings for lwj are a good example here. in the novel, he genuinely doesn’t have romantic feelings towards lwj at first — he may have had a bit of a crush back in cloud recesses, but he never perceived his interest in lwj as romantic. he slowly falls for lwj over the course of the novel. how it happens is (imo) a very demi-aroace process: it goes from > hanguang-jun is so good looking and admirable > omg he is so funny and great > i like him so much idk why??? > wtf i want to kiss him > i wanna jump on that dick
that strikes me as very non-allo?? it’s not that he’s in denial about how he feels, more that he has no idea what these feelings mean, which sounds very much like someone who has hardly, if ever, experienced sexual or romantic attraction before. iirc we never see wwx express any sort of specifically sexual attraction to lwj before developing feelings for him (literally sleeping in that guys arms seems a perfect recipe for unfortunate boner hijinks and yet it never seemed to happen?) — compelling argument for demi reading imo.
and it’s the same for sqq and xie lian, though their journeys are slightly different to wwx’s. i can’t imagine that this sort of narrative is at all common in the genre? i can’t speak to other c-novels but zhou zishu certainly doesn’t read that way, and from my general knowledge of BL/danmei, it doesn’t seem like a common romantic trope. i absolutely love it though, now you’ve pointed it out it makes sense why i connect so strongly with these stories. and certainly if mxtx managed to work this into all 3 of her stories, i’d want to know how she feels about it herself.
now excuse me i’m going down an a-spec analysis spiral for mxtx novels

Oh can we hear about what are some of your ideas for the LMK x TOH crossover au pls??
ABSOLUTELY YOU CAN
So, A: MK, Mei, and Red Son get their demon/dragon characteristics, because I don't make the rules
I imagine Red Son to actually find Boiling Isles magic SUPER INTERESTING because it works so unlike magic in their world. What takes Luz or Eda a glyph to do or Amity a spell circle Red Son or Wukong could do without a second thought. Also the whole concept of glyphs and such I think would FASCINATE Red and he and Luz would end up nerding out over this stuff together
(Imagine Eda and Wukong trying to be adults and actually figure out wtf has happened and having to move rooms because they frequently get interrupted with loud 'YEAHS!' by Luz and/or Red and they're constantly talking in the background).
Willow & Mei would be a fun duo and I don't really have a good reason tbh. I think Mei would bring out a more proactive side of Willow and Willow would be able to step back and go 'slow down' when Mei wants to jump straight into shit. I also think Willow & Sandy would vibe really well together.
Gus would borderline interrogate Tang until Tang finally started telling him stories about the human world and Gus sat down and went ':ooo' through Tang's stories.
LBD and Belos I think would team up after some shenanigans
(Both of them: You can trust me :)
Also both of them: Manipulating each other regularly)
Anyway
And Macaque and Hunter would get thrown on missions together to keep an eye on each other which would manifest as Hunter trying to do stuff and Macaque messing with him. Macaque would also literally just follow Hunter around when he's bored to mess with him.
I realize I haven't really connected Amity to them and that's because I genuinely haven't figured out how Amity fits into any of this or how she'd react. I'm having issues. Idk why but I am having issues lol.
I think Wukong would be the most confusing thing in the Isles for everyone (is he a Titan? A Snaggleback? Wtf is this guy?) because he doesn't use glyphs or anything, all his magic is gold no matter what, and he uses his hair as a spell component, but without a potion?? Like I'm imagining people doing legitimate studies trying to figure him out.
I have more around here I just don't have anything specific enough to put into words (like Hooty, King, & Mo, & how MK & Luz affect each other, the whiplash, how everyone's plans are suddenly absolutely abolished and have to be revamped to reflect the new world/the new people, etc.) sooo yeah, feel free to ask as much as you want because I need promptings for stuff I have to think about lol
Also did I mention how the LMK characters end up in the TOH world? I've thrown this idea at a friend or two so I can't remember if I added that part here too or not lol

ahh solovers who were there around the time of launch for obey me (or at least, were there when season 1 was the only season) seem to also have had a knack for satan it seems~ me too! the very first posts i made on obm tumblr were analyses on what we knew about satan. how his unicorn symbol on the RAD council room banner might represent the loss of purity through the consumption of knowledge in the garden of eden; how he may feel less real than his brothers due to his birth being inherently tied to their loss of purity, being born of ever-growing hatred and misplaced “righteousness”.
pretttyyy sure solovers may have a thing for bringing justice to those who cannot speak for themselves, but enough about satan...
when season 2 rolled around and solomon showed us the dagger in the very first chapter i was begging for it to be for diavolo </3 now that i have a broader picture of diavolo as a person, i no longer harbor hatred for him, but i am still a bit wary. he hasn't had the chance to properly interact or connect, but no one seems to hold him accountable for the things that he's done wrong. i can also blame that on the poor writing from the devs, though—unless he's purposefully machiavellian underneath his lightheartedness... which he is, imo. he's lovely in all of his rightful glory but a lot of the things he's done don't sit right with me. curse that angel event that traumatized everyone once it came out like wtf sjdbksjw, good food tho! it just makes me think back to lucifer's chapter A ur devilgram where diavolo actually sounds fairly reasonable with his views. similar situation as satan before the devs changed...him...all for the fandom at the time :((
you're right, though! barbatos is someone who will turn his head away and choose to not speak with you, and we've seen how sharp-tongued simeon can get. solomon hasn't shown an ounce of bitterness towards anyone, if i recall correctly--even demons. he holds a reasonable perspective on them, and doesn't really force mc into that perspective, either. he only tells them what he believes and nothing more.
seeing so many mischaracterized posts of him makes me go [enter infinite negative keysmash here], but then i remember that i can just create my own fanfic & art content whether it be for the fandom or for my mc's lore, huhu
on another note, do you remember when the first april fools rolled around and everyone unanimously agreed that satan was the cause of all of the apps and profile pictures turning into cats? or how solomon didn't get a birthday event due to the then undateables turning into nowdateables a few days prior, but he still had his woeful birthday dialogue? good times... (╥﹏╥)
also!! never apologize for writing too much because i'm someone who has too much writer's brainrot for both the media I'm into and oc lore (whether it be my own or someone else's), so i totally get the “i want to say everything that i could possibly talk about in 6 hours and condense it into bite-sizes portions so i won't scare my new friends away” phase ♡ because me too tbh
Ooh, that's interesting! My reason for liking Satan back then was a lot more shallow--he just looked like my ultimate favourite character in one of my favourite franchises: Proto Arthur from the Fate series. I had a phase when I was really into Fate and the Arthurian legend, and Satan just managed to stay my favourite for a while because we share a lot of similarities and hobbies (reading books, liking cats, being obsessed with puns etc haha). He isn't my favourite now, of course. But I still really like him as a character. I really love the lore about him being a part of Lucifer gaining his own individuality, and his parallels with Arthur where he's insecure about being "boring", similar to how some Fate fans who did not read the light novel series and played the Prototype games assumed Arthur is just some "pretty boy with a boring personality".
Tumblr media
(spoilers for Obey Me main story and devilgrams under the cut)
I am still quite baffled about that too, though I like everyone in the Obey Me cast now. I did notice Diavolo's machinations are not really seen negatively in the fandom, along with some inconsistencies with his character--one of the more recent events where the cast grew animal ears when they lie being one of them. I vaguely recall Diavolo saying that he hated lying and never lied, so I just found that weird because that isn't true at all. And the term "hating lying" is just really vague. Either way, I think one of the reasons why the fandom is a lot more forgiving with his schemes is because he left a favourable impression at the start. Solomon and how he was introduced wasn't the same.
Personally, I like how nuanced each of the cast is. The examples you described are actually the reasons why I think I personally like them, or perhaps why a lot of their fans like them as well. I love the OM cast because they're neither good or bad people. They're just people--they make mistakes. They're not perfect, they hurt each other etc. That applies to Solomon as well. What I don't like is how unforgiving the fandom is to Solomon's own nuance when all the other characters are also purposely morally grey. They always assume the worst of him when there's so much evidence that suggests he isn't a bad person. Questionable actions and decisions? Maybe. But all of the cast (except Luke perhaps) were the same.
I believe Solomon had been distrustful of demons before the MC changed his perspective. In hard mode, I recalled he made a pact with Asmodeus because he found out he was Lucifer's brother. There's also an official chart that the official OM social media posted where it showed how the cast members think of each other and Solomon's chart labelled all the demons as "toys". I don't think that applies now, but I am assuming OM didn't know what to do with Solomon and fumbled on his characterisation, hence there's so much inconsistencies about him. I feel like he was meant to be "seemingly questionable but misunderstood" and he had always been planned to be romanceable at some point (I mean...he's always been looking after the MC since the earlier main story), and they might have planned to give an explanation on why he acted the way he acted from the start, but by the time he was romanceable, it was too late. The fandom already formed impressions of him (of the unfavourable kind) and they started doubling down...with ambivalent results.
HAHAHA imagine trying to hide your love for Solomon for years. Couldn't be me. c': Back then, it was harder to defend him because everyone unanimously agreed he's "shady". I'm glad he's getting more appreciation now.
Haha! I was actually so sad he didn't get a birthday event when he became romanceable. I was sad for a while and got even sadder he was barely present in events. So when the circus event dropped, I swiped my card hard and ranked xD. It was a crazy time haha. I'm still mad I held back and didn't get his top-up card before. I'm curious what the "You are Evil" devilgram is about. I'm assuming DnD, which I have no clue about.
Same here! I like seeing you rant here in my ask. Glad to see another launch player because most of my friends who played with me since launch quit. :( And thanks for sending an ask! <3
EDIT: I forgot to mention I agree that the potential for a deeper plot in the Chapter A devilgrams was an opportunity lost. Belphie's Hide and Seek was one of my personal favourites. I believe the only chapter A UR I'm missing is Luke's.

Is this how it feels like? To have such an absurd connection you can't make sense of it all, you just forget about everything while kissing.
I can't take my mind of the lil trip we had, all the very long kisses as if nothing else existed; your charming and loving smile. This fucking smile. It's not your usual smile, it's the one that makes me tremble. The image of you all sweaty looking at me as if you could see right through me, in a way I don't remember anyone else doing so. Your piercing eyes just seeing my raw being.
The sex. Oh my God, the sex. It was raw, but it was pure connection. Our bodies intertwined while our minds and souls were just dancing together. The toughness in each very strong slap, followed with the sweetness of each "meu amor" or "minha princesa". All the choking that almost made me pass out followed by each caring touch on my body. The dirty talk just on the right level that made me crave for more, but also made me finish so fast. The fucking passion. You could read me as book and you had a perfect response every time, I just couldn't understand how it was possible.
Each and every hour I spent with you made me see you were way more interesting than I was wondering at first. You're damn smart, spontaneous, fun, light. But you're also complex, full of layers I was desperate to know them all. You work hard, you like politics and watch the news. You enjoy just having a beer or a gin tonic in a random place, but you also into having dinner in a nice restaurant with me and dip your toes into the sea just after. You went to a orchestra date with me, which I get it's an odd date invite. You weren't afraid of showing everyone we were together by holding hands or just kissing while waiting for a milkshake, even though we weren't serious anyway.
You told me you were in love with me and I told you I was as well. Not sure if you really meant it, but for me the whole experience was something out of this world. Now I wonder if I'll ever have anything like it again.
Maybe for you I was just another random stupid girl that was supposed to be a one-time hook up, but it was good enough and easy enough to have a few more dates and a small trip. I'm a relationship girl, so you knew you needed a little bit more of affection to get me hooked. And fell hard for you. Damn it. But you know, you're "not in a relationship phase right now, who knows if we can work out in another stage of life?".
I'm ok with not having a relationship, but please, am I being delusional? WTF was all of that?

Dang. Wishing Night got me reinvested in notfm in a way that diaries and memory in the mirror couldn't. While i enjoy the gameplay for all four game modes, the stories had a very "by the way" feel to them that took immersion away. By the way, when Red was 10 she was way more powerful than she is now. By the way, Red has a sister that no one has even mentioned before. Even the Jerry route in full moon is a "by the way" that kind of tries to retcon some of my fav characters and i still don't know how i feel about that. Wishing night is the first true sequel and it's a long time coming
It also sold me on the central ship, a little? I can't say that I ship the kids but but the tragedy is interesting to me. Red's denial is engaging. Her denial about Jerry's death and even that fact that he's a werewolf. She is such a badass in full moon and diaries, but she is just a kid who's gone through way more than she should have. It's heartbreaking to see such a strong character showing the signs of a mental breakdown.
This makes mechanic Red the only Canon Red in my hc, simply bc of my feels. Will I feel like that still later? Who knows.
Not to mention that the reused art gives me brainworms. I can't imagine why the weapon dealer has become so enthusiastic about the weapons he sells given his backstory. Unless it's a different guy? The owl shopkeeper canonically being the other shopkeepers son is a great touch. And i love seeing the apocathary again. His English voice is so great.
Also several of my favorite characters from full moon were retooled as minions, mostly for Red. Probably this is the closest I'll ever come to seeing Red and Crocdad teaming up. Au where the forest spirit is defeated but instead of transforming back, the cursed people are recruited by mechanic Red.
Not terribly impressed by the new enemies, tho I am curious about wtf is up with the orbs. I wonder if the devs will follow up on that, our of its yet another lost thread.
Also i like the mermaid and the shark. The mermaid is adorable and I want to be her friend, and the shark's PTSD symptoms are haunting. His cage is his mind :(. Makes me want to write a drabble with him and the Tin Man, who's body turned into a cage.
Also hecking curious about Queen Italis(sp?). Not only how does she connect to the plot, but all this stuff about her not being of the world and having visiting the God of wish once before. My headcanon? She was the nightingale mentioned in one of the endings. Maybe she fell in love with the king she belonged to and wished to become his wife? But idk. Would love to see other people's theories

"Didn’t I tell you
you are a fish do not go to dry land
for I am the deep Sea." - rumi
(from GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki)
oh to be able to express like rumi!
or to be spoken through. or however it works.
this hit me bc i am deeply connected to the ocean. my *happy memory* go-to is the beach, the pacific ocean, *my* ocean. my fav colors are like soft teals, pastel aquas and blues, deep ceruleans... so yeah i'm a mermaid but not like... not like the commercialized version that everyone buys into. if i die tragically, i want it to be by drowning in the ocean.
wtf was my point.
anyway it brought me into that sharp awareness of being. and it's like peace & love & comfort & oneness & vibing...
idk, it was cool.
i also really love language. i hate it, but i love it. i hate that we need it, it's so clunky and awkward. there are a lot of words to remember & what if you get them wrong or forget them or put them in the wrong order? (hello, autism. 👋) i used to write poetry, realized i sucked at it & stopped.* i've always been deeply interested in foreign language, even tho i do not have the attention span to learn any. (i took one yr of spanish and 3 of french tho, that was fun. tried to take german... studied japanese w a new-at-the-time friend who has been a friend for like 10yrs or more.) (also i really love.... intentionally arranged sound? & i love variety. so i basically just love the way languages *sound* even without the meaning. don't get me started on accents...)
but i think my deep appreciation for language comes from being neurodivergent, being frustrated at being misunderstood all the time. being afraid to speak up too much bc my thoughts didn't align w what i was taught. my instincts going exactly counter to what i was being told all the time. so i probably developed this desire to be able to correctly assemble and arrange the most appropriate words for any given situation. the right & wrong things... so much to remember.. omg so boring, so tedious.. no wonder i hate everything. er.
so. yeah. no one asked for my psychology, but there u go. i never told u to read this, it's ur own damn fault.
*so this is a memory story. there are two, actually.
the first is, when i was in 5th grade, so around 9 or 10, i wrote this poem & it got printed in The School Newspaper (!!! omg such a huge deal!) anyway, i had this memory, & vaguely remembered some of the words. then somewhere in my 20s, i found the paper & read it & i was *amazed.* it was phrased perfectly, didn't even rhyme, was pretty deep esp for a 10 yr old. i *cannot* remember exactly how it went, but if i posted it with no context, u wouldn't think it was by a little kid. idk how i *lost* how to do that. probably by trying to Be Good and follow rules.
the other is when i was in hs, probably a senior, probably 17. so i listened to a lot of 90's alternative & grunge, as one did back then. (98.5 KOME, i still remember 😂 i wonder if any of those tapes are still good?) so i wrote a poem that was probably heavily influenced by the lyrics of the time, smashing pumpkins, REM, nirvana... and i was v proud of it. idek why i thought showing it to my family was a good idea, but i did. & my grandma goes "this [part] doesn't make any sense. what does it mean?" and i'm like "it isn't supposed to mean anything..." anyway it crushed my lil soul and i had to Follow Rules again. bc how can i know how to People if i don't do things the way People do things?
oh wow that's sad. poor young me. *hugs lil me*
why do i share my trauma.
idfk. maybe so one day, even one person will feel less alone.
byeeeee

CRITIQUE NOTES/FEEDBACK:
Feedback from Critique work - Prefaced that I wasn’t super convinced with these works - and my new exploration of tension, and use of recycled materials, found materials, clothing etc. 
Notes:
work through own questions
exploring tension & manipulation
Sculptural language
think that it’s a positive experiment 
Can see that the work is in it’s early stages
once you start working in a particular way it becomes comfortable
seem neater than the last works 
do the bows add more ‘ temperature’
tension is successful
like the thin thread with the black 
delicate 
One on the right is trying to seperate itself
asked about what was in it - clay - went and touched it (maybe put something else in it)
look delicate but not going to fall off 
different materials and textures all together but all work
Not messy, organised, strong and weak, contrast
what’s up with the palette - gravitating towards colours 
mildly antagonistic, “fuck you”
“polite punk”
feel good about scaling up - would  change the energy 
Get them off the wall , weather that means having them on the floor free standing, or having them on a structure, on the celling 
not the same thing as last semester :
More of them - larger amount - or connect them, stretch them
throw more materials into the mix - how far you are comfortable with pushing  things, jewellery, buttons, keys 
“wtf are they” 
Jessica Stolleholber
Mikaela Dyer 
Pip Culbert
Book - ‘Unmonumental’
Feels like choice of materials are political - unsure why yet 
Does anyone want one? feels like its important to ask - not important to think about while making though, enjoying having your cake and eating it 
Don’t 2nd guess what we want but commit to what you are interested in.
Key Points:
work seems neater than last semester
seems comfortable - push it more - looks like it’s in early stages (not the same thing as last semester)
more materials into the mix - how far can that be pushed 
more! scaling up - would change energy 
get them off the wall 
commit to what I want/ what I am interested in. 
I am overall happy with how wk 3 crit went - as suspected it seemed as though the art needed some work - but I was pleasantly surprised many people were into it. (not that I should be worried about that). The next plan of action is to work through the key points of feedback, and continue making work. I still feel as though I have a little bit of creative block. I am looking forward to getting my hands on some more materials and playing around with how they fit into my practice. Feeling a bit less stuck. :) 
Going to try commit, and try not get caught up in comments and feedback - take things on board but ultimately follow what I think is best for the work.
