[crystallizsch]

these valentines day cards for scarabia got me blushing, giggling, and kicking my feet fr (also featuring me unnecessarily analyzing them) (i really hope the cards are in the right order i think they are or else everything that i say here will look incredibly silly)

━━━━━━━━━━━━✦ kalim al-asim:

To my dear friend— Thanks for the present! What colorful and sparkly sweets. They look delicious! I just had an idea! How about we eat them together after school? Gifts like this taste better when shared, after all. I'll pick out a good tea to go with them. Can't wait to see you later! ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

To my dear friend— Thanks for the gift! It's flattering to know you picked this out for me! I'll treat you to anything you like in return—food, live entertainment, an item you've been pining after... You just say the word. ...On second thought, no. I'll come up with something myself! Just like you came up with this gift to give me. ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

Hey love, Thank you for that wonderful gift! Getting something like this from you just put a smile on my face! Let me throw you a feast to show my gratitude! After that, I'll take you on a magic carpet ride, it'll be really fun! ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

SO LET ME TALK ABOUT THE PROGRESSION BETWEEN THE CARDS???

on kalim's first card, it's really cute but it also feels just like his usual demeanor where he treats everyone as a friend.

but on to the second card, it looks like he's definitely feeling more strongly enough about you to think "hey let me get you something too!! let me be your genie of the lamp!" at least right before realizing it would be more meaningful to give you a surprise gift as well like you did.

his "dear friend" on the second card is more real this time.

BUT OMG THE WHIPLASH TO THE THIRD CARD

"HEY LOVE" ???? KALIM WHAT WHEN I TELL YOU MY HEART JUST WENT HFDSNSFHDJFDK PLSS HE CANT DO THIS TO ME 💀💀💀 THE "MY DEAR FRIEND" -> "HEY LOVE" PROGRESSION YOUR HONOR HE IS IN LOVE(???) NO IT’S PROBABLY JUST A REALLY AFFECTIONATE TERM OF ENDEARMENT CONSIDERING THAT IT’S KALIM (*denial* *denial* *denial*)

the closest ones (that are available) to doing something similar is jade who goes from "my good friend" -> "my dearest" and vil who goes from "dearest friend" to "my dear"

anyways, the third card is kalim finally wanting to go ALL OUT as a way to show you how he feels about you and how thankful he is. he's literally all about having fun with the person he cares about. making every moment memorable.

kalim's love language is also very much extravagant gifts since he's raised in a wealthy family where everything has been handed to him. that's probably how he got the mindset that gifts are the way to show love and affection because that's how his family did it for him. so the bigger the gift the better he can show you how he feels.

━━━━━━━━━━━━✦ jamil viper:

Hello— I was surprised to see you gifted me sweets. At first I wondered if you were hinting for me to make you something similar... But when I pulled the gift out of the bag, I saw all the details you put into it, right down to the ribbon. It's clear this was a heartfelt gesture. I'll treasure these treats as I eat them. Thank you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

Hello— I'll admit it. I'm beyond surprised. I suppose a heartfelt "thank you" is in order. In fact, why don't we meet at the school store after class tomorrow? Hopefully I'll be able to find you something to return the favor. ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

Dear friend, Thank you for the gift. To think I would receive something from you... Well, it caught me off guard. I'd like to give you something in return. Hmm... What should it be? What might you like? Why don't you come down to Scarabia sometime and we'll discuss over a cup of tea. ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

jamillll;;;

on the first card, he was suspicious of receiving a gift. at first he's like "are you just giving me something so i could give you something as well?" until he realized "oh this is legit" and that you’re not expecting anything back. and then he just enjoys it which is hella cute.

on the second card (unlike the last one) he's now like "let me get you something in return because i really appreciate the gesture". here i think he's still genuinely confused that you still decided to give him a gift. but at this point it feels like he's only offering to get you something in return because he feels like he has to just to show his gratitude. kinda like a fair transaction.

it seems that jamil is still like "why me". like, you cared enough to see and acknowledge him to even consider getting him a gift. which i believe is something he's not used to. so he just wants to "return the favor" by offering you to go find something you like :)

and the third card;;;

"DEAR FRIEND" GOT. MEEE. YOUR HONOR I LOVE HIMMMMM

i know for other people "friend" is not on the same level as the romantic "love" but i personally feel as strong with platonic relationships as with romantic ones (if not more) and this hit me HARD.

for the third one he's finally comfortable enough to consider you a friend. but he still sounds flabbergasted that you still even thought of him (and **you** specifically) (like he didn't imagine that you'd even give him a gift).

and now this is less of a transaction but more of like he *wants* to make sure that he gets you something that you'd really like. it's not simply just "hey let's go to the school store and see what's available as a thanks", this time it's "hey i really appreciate that you got me something so let's discuss what i can get you as well. i'll be your genie of the lamp, anything is possible (within reason)"

(original twitter thread with these cards)

#i might be reading too much into this tbh but #i am so obsessed with the progression of the relationship between character and the reader in between the cards #also another train of thought #i imagine jamil would be the type of who would not be focused on romantic relationships(?) #even if somehow the feels got to him #i mean the guy already seems to be iffy with who to consider a friend let alone a significant other #i wouldnt be surprised if he'd be more focused on being by himself than pursuing a partner #like his wish is to travel somewhere by himself where no one knows him so he could just *relax* (and as he should) #that's why the “dear friend” is making me lose it omg #hes showing affection your honor #[— #twisted wonderland #twst #scarabia #jamil viper #kalim al asim #★'-twst-rambles #—] #also ;;; please dont think that was an attack on romantic ships ;; #ship to your heart's content #that's the purpose of fanwork i do oc x canon myself 😭

Also it's insane that people feel like Izzy *needs* to apologize to Ed. After what Ed did to him?? Are you fucking kidding me????

#i wouldnt be surprised if he *did* apologize but tbh i hope he doesnt #unless it's like 'im sorry things got this bad' sort of apology #an expression of regret rather than a real apology #but we'll see #izzy hands #ofmd

fluffy fireflight is finally done!!!! it was really fun to work on a new sewing project, its been a couple years since i did much besides mending. and even tho this fabric was a huge pain to worth with it was totally worth the trouble. hes soooo fluffy. fluffy flighty

based him on the seeker pattern by @milk-sharks, but a bit smaller and with some small alterations (wing shape, tail fins, added a nosecone, probably some other things i forgot). im thinking abt maybe taking it even smaller and making keychain-size versions of the other aerialbots? aside from silverbolt. i dont think a concorde would be very compatible here lol

#transformers #maccadam #aerialbots #fireflight #tho i have enough leftover fabric that i could def make the other limbbots in the same size #but i want a tiny handheld slingshot. stress ball-sized. #aaaanyways i made the slight mistake of just freehand cutting out the pieces since i was too lazy to trace out the pattern but! #i think only the cockpit really suffered from that. im actually kinda surprised the fuselage isnt wonkier tbh #robins doodles #(not a doodle but thats my art tag So) #i mean honestly a concorde wouldnt be that hard to make. and the delta wings would be so flappy... hm....

[freakystinky]

the geto everyone sees vs the geto that lives in gojos head rent free

#gojo is beyond whipped and can't look at his boyfriend without getting hard like a feral animal #wouldnt surprise me if he started humping the air like a pathetic unneutered dog when geto takes his shirt off tbh #been in my wip folder for months because I hate the top left panel so gd bad and won't redraw it #stsg #stsg fanart #gojo satoru #geto suguru #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #stinky speaks #stinky scribbles #ns4w

[cuddly-vamp]

I love how different Count Fabulous is between gens. Like in g1 he's straight up a vampire stuck in bat form and everyone is completely unaware as Draculaura dresses him in pink shit 💀 and in g3 he's a shapeshifter bat-cat thing that so happens to be Draculaura's former babysitter and current familiar. Like what a drastic difference lol

#monster high #draculaura #count fabulous #mh g1 #mh g3 #i honestly wouldnt be surprised if he were still a vampire secretly tbh

[thaliasthunder]

do u guys really think nico will see the ghost of jason since the elysium wasnt in the tsats map?

#part of me's sure they included that in the story since rick & mark know their reunion is something that EVERYONE wants #i mean they know fans would be disappointed if not and they wouldnt risk their rating and sellings #.....but #part of me also thinks they know their reunion is something everyone expects? so that wouldnt be much of surprise? #and since rick already established nico accepted jason's death in ToN so nico really purposedly searching for jason in hades #would be contradictory? #IDK GUYS #tell me what u think #tbh not seeing elysium in the map kinda set me off #but maybe theh wanted to keep it a surprise??? I HOPE SO #OR maybe we'll have a flashback of nico going to elysium to see jason BEFORE going to tartarus #tsats #the sun an the star #nico di angelo #will solace #solangelo #jason grace #pjo #hoo #pjo/hoo #rick riordan #riordanverse #mark oshiro

I promise I don't mean to insult you or any ill intent, but I read your post about Colin being Penelope's prize and just wanted to say that the moment I saw the S3 plot, I thought it would be a Regency retelling of your fic dress (which I adore and read daily) 🙈 🙈 I know that when Nicola speaks about Polin it might seem that way, but Luke's interviews have me hopeful for good Colin development, and if it's even half like a Regency version of your story I'll be THRILLED. I hope the season leaves us happy :)

Follow up - I know the plot of dress isn't Pen needing lessons to find suitors but anyway okay maybe you're right and my hope for S3 was wistful thinking 🥺 🙈

Now listen - the moment the plot summary was revealed for S3, I kept saying to myself... wait, this is regency Dress! So yes, I do want that to happen really badly.

My problem is, after two seasons of this show, I know what they prioritize and how they tend to structure their writing, and it doesn't align with what I prefer and would like to see. And that's fine, the show has a different tone and purpose and narration that they want to tell. I'm pretty sure it'll be a decent season of television, casuals will eat it up, and I'll have a good time turning off my brain and watch Nicola and Newts kill it.

But I won't love Colin and Penelope in the show as much as their characters in the books (they're already so different and while they have potential to be absolutely excellent, I don't think they will reach that potential for me... especially since it'll require retconning a lot of Colin - or at least providing sneaky flashbacks of him actually being a matchmaker - and a more character-driven arc for Penelope that the show would never do because they are plot-driven). I do think I'll enjoy the show! I just have a gut feeling that Colin's development won't reach nearly the depth of the books (because if they actually kept the jealousy of Pen's legacy plot I would SCREAM in excitement but I doubt it) because again, the show prioritizes scandal and plot - and all of that means focusing on Colin groveling and Penelope being LW.

Having said all of this - I try to keep my expectations very low because both S1 and S2 disappointed me in regards to Penelope/Colin and them as individuals, so it's hard for me to have hope (except when Nic and Newts talk... they're what's keeping me here). But I would LOVE to be wrong and absolutely love everything about S3 and its direction and the depth and care of the arcs presented. But I've accepted that my Modern AU fic is probably gonna be WAY more in character than the show's out-of-character fanfic that emphasizes groveling, spice, and scandal over the growth and imperfections of the book.

But if S3 really is just regency "Dress" I expect royalties.

#polin #bridgerton #sorry ill keep my negativity out of the tag now but yeah #asks #tbh i wouldnt be surprised if pen's name was on the tree instead of colins

just after i crawled my way out of that 'art-low' and i got myself excited to work on the rough draft for chapter2- i suddendly just crash and burn again bc i cant get the thought out of my head that im not a good writer either actually and my ideas are comically boring

do i really have to fight my own brain over and over again for the rest of my life (ㆆ_ㆆ)

#ganondoodles talks #random #i dont want to keep sounding so self pitying #sometimes i can fight these feeling #but sometiems it just feels like you just realized the truth about yourself #so fighting that is just lying to yourself #and i feel like im being so ungrateful everytime i feel like shit #bc i know there are people that like what i do #and just bc there are people that are better at everything that im doing or aspiring to do doesnt mean im useless #BUT IT ALSO FEELS LIKE IM WASTING MY TIME #even thoguh funnnily enough i wouldnt even know what WOULDNT be a waste of time bc ...... #i dont ... have anything else #if you take away art and writing theres nothing left of me #kinda not surprising then that i keep accidentally tying my feeling of worth to the receiption of what i post #................ and losing followers in the hundreds on twitter espeically doesnt exactly help #though that is mostly bc im rting a ton of info about palestine and tbh idk if i would want people following me that are zionists or simila #still feels bad #AND I KNOW WHAT MY BRAIN IS TELLING ME IS WRONG OR IT SHOULDNT MATTER #but it still feels real #im so tired of fighting myself

collapses to the floor. does anyone have kunichuu fic recs

#ive read grace and corey and ela’s kunichuu fics like a hundred times #it is rough out here in these rarepair waters i fear i am not surviving #also im always surprised that kunichuu is such a rarepair #considering how dazai centric this fandom is why wouldnt his two partners be thought about tgt more often #i swear i see more s.igchuu content than kunichuu and im not hating on it but also How #sigma was introduced so much later than knkd #i still think bones fucking up dazais entrance exam is the root cause of this tbh #cause the kunikidazai to kunichuu to perhaps kunichuuzai pipeline #is very very real #‘kunikida and chuuya would never get along’ wrong theyll spot each other and start making out in five seconds #jk. but i genuinely think they would get along so well. their chemistry would be insane thats why asagiri wont let them chat #and no they wouldnt only bond over being annoyed by dazai. theres so much more to that #ok sorry im done whining. tldr i love kunichuu please understand me

also love the idea that they casted roy’s sister based on her brows

#ted lasso #roy kent #unless that his actual sister #wouldnt be surprised tbh #edit: i thought a visual was necessary

sometimes i think abt that youtuber that said diane nguyen was a dull character in seasons 1-4 of bojack because “shes the character that is the hardest to relate to in the cast because she’s married to a sitcom actor and is a popular ghostwriter, which isnt something many people can say, so to fix her, they needed to let her get divorced and get into a worse financial situation ”

as opposed to the actual sitcom star she married who got the job by wandering into a studio, apparently,

#i agree that shes kinda on the wayside in those seasons but i wouldnt say shes bland or nothing at all #i honestly found her to be pretty relatable and some of her more toxic traits helped me realize aspects of myself i need to work on #even before season 6 where her arc hits me like a freight train i still really empathized with her #especially in that episode where mr pb throws her a giant surprise party despite her telling him several times she hates that stuff #and he just snaps at her for being ungrateful. ik shes not faultless but tbh i was totally on her side lmao bc i would die if someone did th #that to me #echoed voice #also ik this show gets praised for its realistic portrayals and whatnot and im in that boat too but this makes me go ????? #bc theyre all high level managers or actors besides todd. who also isnt relatable bc he just does insane shit all the time #relatable by the metric the reviewer put up i mean. he can still be relatable otherwise i mean djfjf
