I was busy within the hour this released. but I'm here now and. ... oh boy just bear with me
I'm gonna just... copy/paste my initial thoughts as I watched this, here, for the next couple lines:
Final Results:
Now listen to me, I need to scream into the void all my newfound realizations and woes but it's 1:30 in the morning and I need to wake up early the next day. So understand that I'm making this as short as gayly possible (it may not be short at all).
Aside from all the lesbian saxophone that my eyes just witnessed, which is a scream that will never make contact with any airwaves - digital or otherwise - ... The last two minutes of that trailer were entirely unexpected.
Now don't get me fucking wrong I wasn't NOT paying attention to the section of the teaser during the livestream that showed us a glimpse of Black Swan's fear and surprise drowning in that fiery background. but. ... bro— FUCKING COME ONNNN MAN!!
HOW FAST THE SCENE FLIPPED, HOW QUICKLY- WHATEVER THAT THING (IT DEFINITELY WASN'T THE ACHERON WE KNOW) WAS TOOK THE LEAD and LITERALLY tossed Black Swan around like a helpless bird. a PREDATOR chasing their PREY
AND THE PREY IS BLACK FUCKING SWAN???? THE FUCKING MEMOKEEPER FROM THE GARDEN OF RECOLLECTION?? THE MYSTERIOUS AND ELEGANT SOOTHSAYER???
To see Black Swan of ALL characters in this game so far be filled with such visceral fear and trepidation, to be tossed around at the MERCY of something that could have so EASILY killed her just like. t h a t. is beyond insane.
I expected it to be more of a "What terrible horrors have you commited?" 'Wow! Horrors that even Black Swan thinks is terrible, Acheron is capable of s-' no she literally almost killed her. She's not a human by the way. Black Swan is not a human being anymore she is like. coNdEnseD mEmORy AND SHE LITERALLY ALMOST DIED. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???
also, we love Allegra Clark in this house this woman is hilarious

Ok but what if she went to waddle Dee town in the forgotten land and all the waddle Dee’s just accepted her because they are really nice and not rude and they accept her and she has fun and a good time please I really need this for her
i considered drawing something out to this, and making it a happy ending sort of thing, because i think this is extremely sweet as a concept and i understand the desire for it!
that said, i decided that it would be a disservice to the lore i'm building for her, my biology/magic headcanons, and also the waddle dees as a whole. i might still draw it some day, because i could absolutely perceive a way it would work (ie: all waddle dee signatures messed up by Elfilis's portals, or their magic sensitivity nuked by it.) and i think it would be lovely
but for now, i have too many other things on the backburner to get to this promptly, and i wanted to answer this one sooner rather than leaving it for months
i will say, they're not being rude to her! there might be the odd one or two who is a bit snide, but there are some of those in every society. as a general rule the waddle dees not only understand that she is struggling, they want to accept and help her. many of them even know she's lonely, and feel pretty bad about it. but it's hard, and not just because she makes people uneasy!
i draw parallels with starstruck's gummed up magical signature to autism, as i'm autistic and so by merit (as a sona), so is she. but there are some parts that do not line up with the way autism functions in our world, and one of them is that touching or being around her can be genuinely, literally painful for some of the very sensitive waddle dees.
despite that, her waddle dee doctors actually pushed through it while she was in the castle dedede infirmary. because they were determined to treat her (mostly-surface-seeming) injuries and help her feel better. and they apologised for the reactions that they couldn't control anymore than she could control her signature; the various "sorry"s she parrots in this comic are implied to be from waddle dee doctors.
it's a fine line in alien-storytelling, especially with a real world disability parallel, and i'm trying to tread it as carefully as i can. but i don't intend to villainise the waddle dees at all for their reaction to her; they truly can't help it. many of them even do their best to push through it if she comes into their vicinity, especially because she often arrives with Beloved Celebrity, Captain Bandana Waddle Dee. but like a lot of us, she can tell when she's being tolerated, and so as a rule she just sort of tries to avoid it, one way or another

hi!! do you still write for overwatch? if you do, could i just have a couple of lucio headcanons :D
GENERAL HEADCANONS | LÚCIO CORREIA DOS SANTOS
NOTES.⠀hi! I absolutely do write for Overwatch :3 I had a huge blast doing this, so thank you for your request! <33
“Come on, buddy. Let's go!”
Based off of this voice line, I like to think Lúcio has a habit of saying his thought process out loud! Not in the way that’ll jeopardise the mission, but rather for the more mundane things like when he’s tinkering with something, or when he wants to sound out a new lyric.
In a similar vein, based on his Valentine’s voice line, he stutters and stammers when he’s nervous. It’s harder to hide it when he’s around you. Really, he wants to be cool, but when you smile at him, it’s like every line he was rehearsing the whole morning just leaves his brain!
While his songs usually fall under the techno or electronic music genre, he actually listens to a little bit of everything. That one band you like that you think no one cares about? He knows about them, and he’d love to rave all about them with you.
It doesn’t take much to make him flustered. Compliment him once and he’ll be thinking about it the whole day. Whether it’s because of the compliment itself or because it’s from you, he’ll never tell. (It’s not like he’s subtle about it, but don’t tell him that!)
He’d love to have one of those cliché roller-skating dates with you. He gets to show off his sick moves, impress you, and hold your hand as you skate together? As far as he’s concerned, it’s his biggest win.
Sometimes you have to repeat things once or twice to get his attention. His mind is constantly flowing with new ideas, so he tends to get lost in them.
He knows a lot about music and will ramble about its history the moment you give him the get-go. He gets very animated talking about it, his eyes practically sparkling when he does so. He might get sheepish midway, but with some encouragement, he’ll get back on track.
Huge fan of slap bracelets and glow-in-the-dark trinkets. He can’t quite explain why, he just likes them. He likes collecting souvenirs from places he visits as well. Vinyls, CDs, old music players, anything vintage, you name it.
Overall, he’s a great guy to be around. He’s positive and optimistic, very encouraging and a good listener. If you don’t have plans for the day, tag along with him for a day out in the city! His spontaneity can lead to fun activities you can do together, like laser tag! With Lúcio, you won’t ever feel down. For him, being with you makes him feel the same way.

I just can't get over Furina. Already imagining being alive 500~ years for a god character is kinda a hard existence to put into a genuine perspective when I try to imagine the day to day things for Five Hundred Years. But a human? With a human body and a human mind/psyche? Living for 500 years? I don't think her memory could actually hold it? I wonder how many notes and journals and diaries she maybe kept. Or she had an exceptional memory because of Focalors - still, I find it hard to imagine her brain just containing the memories alone. Remembering details, pulling them up from the dredges of hundreds of years ago? For a human brain? And then the emotional weight of never getting close to anyone. Being alone while surrounded by many others. Of performing the theater of hundreds and hundreds of trials, sometimes hurting those who actually deserved real justice but she could never actually act or it'd break the facade. Her crying in that meeting and surface-level explaining it away and then being believed all the while she is breaking apart in her prison, a prison she doesn't even have all the information for but is committed to in the attempt to keep everyone alive despite not understanding the whole situation.
Screaming.
