#in the end i guess it's that weird fusion of both that makes it so intriguing for me

Bad End AU lore question, do the other know that Super Dimentio is both Luigi and Dimentio?
If they do, can they tell who's in control? And how do they feel about them/what's their dynamic? I'm guessing Bowser prefers Luigi just because of how annoying the clown is
I'm also really curious about the Shadow Queen, is it like Super Dimentio with the queen never letting Peach take control, or is Peach completely dormant since it's possession and not a fusion? (If i remember the game correctly)
And how does Luigi feel about it? Having to hang out with an enemy wearing his friend's face?
This is going to be a long one, so long I've put it under 'read more'. Alright, here goes!
1. For a while no, they don't know!
When they initially meet, Shadow Queen literally has no idea who this is, she does recognise the poncho though. The only thing that's clear to her then and there is that this person is connected to the thief, she just doesn't know exactly how yet. However Bowser does recognise the mustache and the hat, saying it's the brother of his old enemy who's named Luigi.
And that's how it kind of stays for a while. They know him as just Luigi.
Soon enough the weird behaviour rears it's head. He starts talking to seemingly himself, changing expressions and voice tone, contrasting the one before, on the spot during discussions, tolerating something and then suddenly acting malicious towards it. Fighting with himself even, you'd be just doing something and he appears for a split second slamming himself against the wall then vanishing.
Peach certainly figures out what's going on. From there forward she manages to overhear Dimentios name and also confirms that the thief still has the Chaos Heart. While Bowser is aware of the strange behaviour and everything he can't quite name why it happens. He explains it to himself as the brother simply going crazy after the disappearance of Mario.
2. There are two ways to tell who's in control at the moment. The first one is what helps the most often.
Body language. Observation is key, and luckily for others Luigis and Dimentios old habits die hard.
Dimentio is loud spoken and likes to make jabs at others. His tone is most often sly, which also shows on his face with a sharp grin and squinted eyes. His gestures are more elegant alongside the general way he moves. He still prefers floating to walking and uses magic for the smallest of inconveniences. If any of these traits are present it's most likely Dimentio that you're looking at!
Luigi's more soft spoken and doesn't speak in 'riddles'. He tends to have his eyes fully open and his expressions, like his smile, are generally less exaggerated. He's the type to walk and jump everywhere, not relying on magic because he 1.never needed it before and 2. still perfectly can't use it. He tends to hunch over and has a tendency to trip. If you're not being currently insulted and belittled in the weirdest way imaginable, congrats! You're talking to Luigi!
This isn't always very reliable buuuut sometimes this can happen:
Tumblr media
The default tint of the eyes is blue, either it's Luigi specifically or they're acting in mutual agreement it remains that way. However when it's more of Dimentio speaking there's a chance for this hue to alter. As I mentioned this is a bit unreliable because it's already hard to notice in the first place since its such a slight difference and lighting can mess with how it appears.
3. Peach likes to exploit others for her gain, and she quickly learns that getting something from this one won't be easy. Trying to trick a trickster such as Dimentio seems like an impossible task, a raccoon and fox trying to fool eachother basically deal. That leaves Luigi but guess what, not that much better with him either. The 'brother of a fallen hero' is smarter than he looks, albeit a little more open minded to small suggestions. She overall has a slight preference towards Dimentio though, she finds him very fascinating. And that's exactly why he tries to ignore her when he can pfff
Bowser definitely prefers when Luigi acts like y'know, Luigi. Just like you said, he finds the other one annoying. Bowsers relationship with Luigi is overall weird, while he's very irritated by the clowns antics and wouldn't mind shutting him up for good, he can't help but feel some sort of sympathy. These two have a bit of history, whether it be direct or more because of Mario, and it just might be enough to make Bowser not absolutely despise him and have at least a smidge of patience and understanding.
4. As you mentioned yes it's possession, and not a fusion. Peach's mind, unlike Luigis, is dormant. Some of her behaviours can shine through but it's mostly remnants. If you're curious I'll just say it as a fun fact: if you managed to somehow rip out/get rid of the Shadow Queen from the body, Peach would come back like from a long nap. You can probably imagine how'd she react to everything that's happened while she was gone... yeah...
5. Not fun. Since only Luigi knew who Peach was before, all the attachment comes from him. She has gone from someone he could talk to about everyday life, meet up to play normal games while not risking his health and just have an overall great time with, to a person who he's sure would dissect him on a table if given an opportunity. He's not wrong.
He still calls her Princess despite her insisting on Queen. He does it as a memento of the past, while Dimentio calls her Princess just to make her even more upset.

Pride and Prejudice AU Anger Management (dp x dc)
Guess who just finished reading+watching Pride and Prejudice? And guess who’s now obsessed with making an Anger Management AU based on it? It’s me babyyyy (btw it's sorta more of a fusion than a proper AU I think?)
Casting: Jason as Elizabeth, his siblings as the bennet sisters. Alfred is mr bennet, Bruce is mrs. Bennet except they’re not silly they’re instead paranoid and emotionnaly stunted.
Jazz as Darcy, Danny as Georgiana. 
Kon as Bingley (with Tim being Jane looool)
Vlad is lady catherine and dani is cousin anne.
Wickham is both the Al Ghul (Talia and Ra's) they pretended to be nice to the Fenton before trying to enslave/exorcice Danny.
Plot (which is basically just P&P but like slightly modified so it works):
Jazz & Danny got spit out the pits. The Al Ghuls pretended to be kind and honorable and stuff, and Jazz was just so happy the dimension they ended up in had some nice (though weird and formal) people. Then, she ends up finding Danny tied up and Ra’s talking about what an interesting specimen he is, and how he’ll help them figure out how to be immortal and all that. Jazz goes full-on Beserk mode and destroys the base + burying pits.
Vlad and Dani end up there too a little later, but she doesn’t tell them the specifics just not to interact with the League of Assassins. Danny is hurt and Jazz is still a bit feral. They end up in Kansas where the Kents offer them a place to stay for a while. So they do stay, and Superman+family end up being really nice people. She doesn’t tell them about the Ra’s, just that the trip between dimension was rough. She also says nothing about Danny’s power and keeps that secret because he’s still hurt and she doesn’t want anyone trying to take advantage of him.
Magic users recognize her as Queen Regent of the Infinite Realms and like everyone who’s met her agrees she’s a fair and kind ruler, so they respect her a lot. So Captain Marvel, Zatanna and Wonder Woman (after they mention Pandora) all vouch for the Fentons and they’re generally just considered really powerful and benevolent.
Anyways danny is severely injured (plus his powers are really reduced) and Jazz is so stressed about it not to mention the queen regent thing (she has paperwork and correspondence with Frostbite, Pandora and Clockwork for all kind of stuff to do, including making sure there is no war after the future King was kidnapped by humans wanting to experiment on him again!!!) plus making a good impression on the league. So she comes off as a little bit stand-offish especially to the heroes she doesn’t know super well. She’s been burnt by the Al Ghul and is just so busy and stressed she has little energy for socialization. She accidentally snubs Dick which everyone in the batfam takes as an insult plus a lot of the younger generation heroes do too. General consensus is that she’s a bit stuck-up and only makes an effort for the big names (Superman, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel). 
Jazz makes a comment about Jason after Kon teases her about him (like “I know his type, pretty bad boy with a list of issues a mile long, not to mention how shit at emotions the bats apparently are”) and he overhears and is like not like I would want to end up with such an arrogant snob no matter how handsome she looks.
So anyways, they end up going on a few missions together and Jazz gets to see that Jason is actually a really good person who does his best and wants to help everyone so bad. Also, he’s so good with kids and Jazz is 100% sure Danny would love him despite him hating most of her previous boyfriends.
Meanwhile, Jason sees how she keeps taking down the villains faster than him and even takes on some of his that he was handling thank you very much, and assumes she’s being condescending instead of trying to be helpful. 
She also talks about school that she’s started and how much she enjoys it because she heard he likes to read but he takes it at a dig at how he never completed his formal education which is a sore spot. She also sometimes completely disregard his suggestion when they go after supernaturals which fair but like super rude?! But it’s just Jazz being used to being in charge and having to wrangle a bunch of go in first, think of a plan later type of people.
(Talia has come by and fed the batfam an edited story of what happened with the pits, which makes Jazz look really shady.)
Danny sees Jazz is completely crushing on this dude and after hearing her talk about him for so long, he’s on board with Jason and also curious to get to know him. Danny tells her to go for it and ask him out. Meanwhile, they each agree to tell Vlad nothing, because he might not be as crazy as he used to be, but he’s still a complete ass.
So at some point, after a mission, she takes Jason aside and asks him out, while insulting his family accidentally (like makes a joke about reserving an extra table for his brothers to spy on them). She means it as a gentle tease, but Jason takes it as a giant insult, since it’s also super true so instead of just saying no, he goes for the snark.
“Thanks and all but I dont date future villains.”
Jazz is fucking insulted. “Ok wow. From what I heard everyone in your family has at least one alternate version of themselves whos a villain, so keep talking shit?!”
“Not even trying to hide your contempt for us now are you?”
“I don’t have contempt for you guys.”
“No? You told Kon he shouldn’t date Tim!”
“That is NOT true! I said to take it slowly while he deals with his identity issues as a clone first to make sure he doesn’t jump into something new while he’s not ready!”
“Yeah, sure. I’m sure it’s got nothing to do with how 'shit at emotions' my family is.”
“Well, it doesn’t help that you’re all emotionally stunted, no!”
“That’s your excuse for Tim, sure. But what about that nice little tale Talia told us?”
“Talia Al Ghul?”
“Yeah. Now why would a hero like yourself cause the complete collapse of a secret organization they should have no knowledge of considering they had arrived in the dimension less than a week ago? I mean, I know they’re assassins and all, but I thought you guys had landed in Smallville, Kansas. That’s a long way to go if you really didn’t have designs on the fucking pits. Did you or did you not burry the pits where no-one except someone who can go invisible and doesn’t need to breathe could access it?”
“I did.”
“And you want to tell me you’re not a villain? You may have everyone else fooled, but I know what you are.”
“Fine,” she says. “If that’s what you want to think. Sorry you had to endure my presence for so long.”
She leaves him a note still, because she knows at least some of the batfam have had contact with the pits. She knows he’s a good person and actually really trustworthy plus how much he cares about children, so she trusts him with Danny’s secret. She explains how Talia and Ra’s have plans with the pits and liminals, and to look out for himself. She tells him to verify with Zantanna if he wants because she’s the one who helped put up the wards to hide Danny’s presence while he recuperates.
Jason is like, ok so maybe she’s not a future villain. So he feels a little bad about his outburst plus dumb about trusting Talia about anything, she’s a liar that is well-known. But he still stands by turning Jazz down coz she is genuinely sort of a snob a lot of times.
After that they go on a few missions together and Jazz acts much better, she actually listens to his feedback even if most of the time she doesn’t need to when it’s supernatural beings. She also seems way less wound-up and doesn’t say a word about how emotionally constipated the bats are, which she used to do way more often. She’s being polite, kind and open to suggestion and Jason is like so maybe I judged a bit fast. He also starts to see how many responsibilities she actually shoulders (Queen Regent, her brother, Justice League stuff) and he’s a little humbled by how well she does it. At some point he meets a Realm Ghost who talks about what a great Queen she is and all that she’s done for them and Jason starts feeling some feelings.
They meet up again for a low-level mission with a supes, it’s like undercover/surveillance about white collar crimes or something, and the vibe between Jazz and Jason is super good until he gets a call. 
Damian/Cass end up captured on a mission by the Al Ghuls to experiment on. All the batfam is losing their minds and Jazz is like this is my fault they know about ectoplasm at all, because she trusted them and talked to much while Jason is like no I’m the one who should’ve told them. 
Jazz goes and rescue the batkid. In exchange she offers one vial of pure ectoplasm (ecto dejecto) which she was saving for emergency in case she gets injured. She tells the Al Ghuls this is worth all the test subjects “from which you’ll try and extract it and it probably won’t work. So do your crazy experiment on that and leave liminals alone.”
So yeah the designated batkid is rescued (tho they don’t realize by who cause they’re unconscious) and Jazz asks Superman to take the credit for it. Jason learns it was Jazz and feels so guilty and grateful. He bakes/cooks something and goes to thank her. He meets Danny who is super excited to meet him and doesn’t know about the messy rejection coz Jazz didn’t tell him because she thought she might have deserved it a little bit. 
So Jason sees how sweet Jazz is with Danny and how much more relaxed she is at home and he’s like ok, so maybe, maybeee I have a feeling about this. Meanwhile, Jazz is still completely gone on him (the man can cook!) and Danny approves. Jazz doesn’t really have the heart to tell him it’s not happening.
All the while, because of Jazz’s connection to the pits the batfam are super suspicious of her and keep making digs at her. Jason feels terrible about it (since she literally saved the batkid) but Jazz just takes it and answers back politely, cause she likes Jason still and doesn’t want to antagonize his family.
Meanwhile, Kon and Tim started dating and the whole batfam are like ‘finally!’ Kon defends Jazz anytime one of the batfam says something about her and they think he’s a little naive but they like him so they stop when he’s there.
Vlad ambushes Jason at some point and tells him he’s not allowed to date Jazz. And Jason is just like “fuck you I do what I want”. He eventually admits to Vlad he isn’t dating her, but when Vlad asks him promise he never will, Jason says “I’m not promising that, she and I can do what we want.” 
At some point Jason and Jazz meet together by coincidence, and it’s a little awkward. Jazz has not been able to forget about him, she just likes him a lot so she goes, “I heard Vlad came by.”
“Yeah, what a weirdo.”
“Yeah, Sorry about him.”
“Hey you have to deal with my crazy family, it’s only fair.”
They laugh
“Sorry if this makes you unfomfortable, say the word and I’ll never mention it again, but I can’t help but ask. I still like you a lot and I wanted to know, could you maybe might have changed your mind about a date?”
“Yes. Uh, I mean for the date, yes I’d like to go on one.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I, actually, Um. I like you a lot too?”
So they end up dating and they actually like each other a whole lot. Danny is over the moon, as is Dani. Vlad still thinks Jason isn’t good enough for Jazz. The whole batfam is like wtf, I thought you hated her. Dick is the first to be like gotta make an effort for Little Wing’s girlfriend and ends up thinking she’s actually pretty cool. The rest are slower to follow, and Bruce is snail-pace. Alfred just likes that Jason is happy so he’s all for it.

20 Questions For Fic Writers
Tagged by @rngaredead :)
For simplicity's sake I'm going to go with just my biDEMONium/trentcrimminallybeautiful ao3 and not try to combine it with my thesorrowoflizards one (why do i have more than one? because i was, among other things, an idiot who didn't know how pseuds worked next question) even though that would probably double some of these numbers lkfjgh
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Again, just on this account? 171 (some of those are oneshot compilations though)
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
661,851 for now
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Ted Lasso, The Mysterious Benedict Society, The House on the Cerulean Sea, House MD, Death by Dying, Instinct, King Falls AM. Also, sort of Gravity Falls. Mostly those first two though, tbh. This one I think I will include other fandoms I've written and posted for on other accounts because it's fun and less about math. So also Shadowhunters, The Librarians, The Mentalist, The Dresden Files (TV), Roswell New Mexico, The Sandman, Star Trek, Professor Layton, Sanders Sides, Miraculous Ladybug, and sort of The Legend of Zelda. Also see, for unposted or posted a very long time ago and no longer something I would willingly share, Supernatural, Dirk Gently (both 2016 and 2010), Doctor Who, Warehouse 13, SurrealEstate, Person of Interest, Haven, Leverage, Bones. Psych, and probably more
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Ted Lasso Kisses Trent Crimm On The Mouth (Trent/Ted - 1,157 kudos)
semaphore (Trent/Ted; Trent & Colin - 997 kudos)
off the handle (Trent/Ted - 736 kudos)
linger (Trent/Ted - 709 kudos)
a preacher, a bikini, and a kiss or two (Trent/Ted; Diamond Dogs - 673 kudos)
5. Do you respond to comments?
I try to but I always get really busy/tired and then it's been so long it feels like it would be weird if I did. Plus, sometimes my answers by nature of the comments can get repetitive and then even though I'm being sincere I feel insincere which sucks. However, if a comment has a direct question or something I actually have like, something unique to say about, I'm much more likely to respond sooner rather than later/never. I appreciate every single comment soooo much though literally my motivation to get through the day like 80 percent of the time
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I'm going to stick with Ted Lasso fics here since I have so many fics posted and this is my Ted Lasso sideblog and say... well, most of the time I have a bittersweet ending and then some sort of hopeful epilogue (such as with ink sunset and make a mess of you) but I guess betrayal's sting / absolution's balm or something to get off my chest may qualify?
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Uhhh, honestly, most of them are happy endings. I think trick & treat and matters of the heart end on particularly high notes?
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not in this fandom! Yet
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Oh, yeah, baby. So much. Not sure what "kind" means in this context. It sure is explicit smut. I have tended almost exclusively towards hot transgender sex the last few years because. yknow. hi. but somehow I don't think that's the intention in the question.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I do, but I haven't posted a lot. Only one on this account (a Gravity Falls x The Mysterious Benedict Society crossover that started as a joke because of a shared actress) although I had an interesting Shadowhunters x The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess fusion on my other account. I've written some pretty weird WIPs, though. And I've got some posts about Ted Lasso crossover/AUs, like a Sarah Jane Adventures AU, a Pushing Daisies AU, a Stardust AU... You can find that kind of thing in this tag on my blog.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes. Not in this fandom, though, as far as I'm aware.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! Again, not in this fandom, though.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not really.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Oh, man, I don't know if I can decide. Magnus/Alec (TV version only I'll die on this hill) will always hold a special place in my heart, but I've got other "obsessed with this when I was a kid" ships and also recency bias/current hyperfixation means Trent/Ted screams as an immediate answer, and so on and so forth. I'm bad at picking favorites. Overall, I'd probably say one of those two, or both.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Sticking to Ted Lasso again (I have. so many MBS WIPs. god.) I'd say lost sight of (who you are) (lost motivation, want to finish, fuck!!) or sweeter than heaven (hotter than hell) (got mad at it), or!! oh!!! ink sunset (stuck) and possibly the next installment of matters of the heart. Yeah, I have a problem
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think I'm pretty good at being funny and also at eloquent but perhaps a little too verbose metaphors. I love me an elaborate metaphor
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
It's hard for me to focus and get what I have in my head out sometimes, even when I really want to. Whether it's being unable to organize or just my brain flat-out refusing to cooperate and do anything. Also, I'm way too like. easily discouraged with lack of feedback, and even a little negative feedback can kind of ruin my week and make me never wanna go back to that story ever again.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I just realized. The questions seemed familiar but I wasn't sure why and now I know, now that I've gotten to this question. I have done this game before and I remember bc of this question. I was confused bc it was under a different name, I think the questions were in a different order, and it was sometimes slightly differently worded but nope! This is the same one! Weird Anyway, just for this particular question, I'm going to copy-paste my old answer because I'm lazy. I’m extremely bad at linguistics in general, so if I must include someone talking in another language in my fic, I think I’d tend to cheat and do italics or some other indication that this is ‘in another language’ (ie “Where are you going?” she asked in Russian), but that’s admittedly a lazy approach. But I also think it’s probably better than butchering it with an auto-translator? Also, when people just include the translation in the end notes, even with a link (although that makes it marginally better) it breaks the flow of the story and makes it hard to read. Making an effort to at least match grammar is good (which I would do if it was for longer than a single scene, probably) but I think the best solution is when people know what they’re doing and like, have an actual translation with a little html code so you can click on it and it reveals what it means? Or if you’re clever, revealing what it means using context around it, but that has its own limitations. So that both like, uses the actual language and doesn’t break up the flow. It balances accessibility, flow, and respect for the other language in question well. But you’ve got to both know what you’re doing with the language (either asking someone/hiring someone/knowing the language yourself) and the html (although there are guides for that you’d have to spend time figuring it out + know it exists in the first place to look). And this is fanfiction, something we ultimately do for free in our spare time, so the lazy approach, I think, can be understandable. Maybe not in every context, but it’s not worth stressing a lot over in a few random lines or anything, you know? It is really cool when people do know a language well enough to include it properly in a fic, though, it can say a lot about a character or dynamic; and their background(s) and like. it’s neat :)
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Ever? Doctor Who. And I don't remember the order, but after that I know I wrote some stuff about Star Trek (mostly TNG but I believe also TOS), Supernatural, A:LTA, Marvel, WTNV, and the Stanley Parable? I think I first posted either Supernatural or WTNV
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
I have no idea. Some of my top ones (for Ted Lasso again) would be matters of the heart and trick & treat I suppose?
Tagging: whoever wants to do this man, I probably tagged everyone I'd normally tag last time so if you see this and you wanna do it, go ahead and tag me and do it!

Ooo wait are your thoughts on the two boboiboy movies?
Wah, Nice one!
I've had nostalgic memories when I rewatched movie 1. Particularly because it was the last entry I followed before I went on hiatus. ... 8 years ago I think?
Whereas I watched the second one during my marathon session this year.
Due to 'my messed-up order of watching' this series, I ended up knowing big spoilers about The movie 2 and I forced to give up my 'anti-spoiler' act before I watched it. Kinda of a bummer for the general view, but you know what? It made the scene more fascinating to watch!
"Oh this is Retak'ka? THE Retak'ka?"
"No wonder why Adudu is so into martial arts now."
"So that's how Ice got his bow eh?"
"Oh Fu-Yes! The debut of Fusion Elementals!!!!"
ehem.
From a general technical standpoint, they stepped up their game drastically. Of course, it's for movies after all. They went bold for expanding the areas, improving the graphics, increasing action scenes, and also adding more music as well.
At the same time, they also upgrade Boboiboy and Kokotiam gang's power so it's making it a 'bit' op for the sake of spectacle. It's not that bad in a negative way, I understand that because the enemies themselves were hella strong as shit. (the first one used a black hole and the second one used all-in-one power hunger fest that could also destroy the galaxy. Logically the earth's supposed to be gone by now :/).
I loved what they did to the lighting and hue for both movies. it's like watching smash bros ultimate but in the movies(weird reference I know but hope you get the idea :/)
The details! Holy- IT'S SO PRETTY~~~
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
ehem.
Both of them were also establishing the expansion power of elementals and what they can do about it. The first one was the fight with all elementals showcased and the second one was the alternative way of fighting by combining two elementals.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alsoooo both finally managed to properly introduce the one and only .... Boboiboy Hatless! :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'd say they had a fair share of hiding it perfectly well. Cleverly teasing the audience to grasp 'Why the hell do they keep hiding his hair with that particular angle?' Because... If I'm not wrong, Boboiboy was one of the characters that falls in the same category with Upin&Ipin: limiting the haircut for animation efficiency during the first production.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So when his hat does let off, It is always an impeccable scene to watch. That trick never fails to amaze me. (like Professor Layton's hat case :3)
Now I wonder how much screen time his hat is off for the movie 3? I'm sure it takes a lot more than the previous one since his 3rd tier is pure hat off(and dyed hair).
If I want to say from my opinion. Movie 1 has its standout over Movie 2 and vice versa. Both have ups & downs yet they are equivalent to each other. For instance: the timing to add their theme song was a bit out of place in movie 1 so the latter fixed that, whereas the Fang and Ying banter in their language was lacking in movie 2 when the former had this iconic scene (sound on recommend) :]
Oh speaking of Music, my god their theme songs are epi~~~c
I remember how hyped I was when one of my fav local band, D'masiv, created a credits song for Movie 1 AND Galaxy season 1. But heck all movie themes in order are wholesome af!!! 'Masih Disini' - 'Dibawah Langit yang Sama' - 'Fire & Water' are in my repeat playlist recently. So overwhelming that I actually cried? The montage during Fire & Water played was not a sad moment but heck I cried because it's soo touching for no reason.
Oh yeah, I forgot it's a family movie so they have rights to not make any deaths scene. I can understand why yet I'm still disappointed.
I cried. HARD when I saw Tok Kasa collapsed. It portrayed emphatically well and worked for new characters that was introduced a bit short.
Then, not long after that, we got this
Tumblr media
(I guess they didn't want to do another httyd 2 moment. It's too painful for kids to watch)
So... There's my review. Honestly I don't know what goes on for movie 3. It could be anything after season 2. But if I may guess...
It's between father and son now...

Man, I will say it's honestly very meaningful for someone who I deeply respect that I know shares a similar life view and life experiences and has been a part of my life for over half of it go ".... how the hell do you work so hard"
Like I've heard that a lot, both in terms of concern, awe, and genuinely seeking advice, and most of the time it's usually a bit uncomfortable cause the genuine answer is A Lot of Trauma and a Lot of Fucked Up Shit that makes me like this. It's largely not a choice I had and now that we've done a lot of healing, what we are currently doing is the least we've ever done; and yes, as a 23 year old bread winner full time working multiply disordered / disabled + passion project working + a lot of other shit adult supporting a struggling disabled fiance and applying to jobs and a PhD program.
What we are doing is a "break" from the level of stuff we did most of our life, and so a lot of the time - while I don't think any of it is in bad taste or ill intent and all - a lot of the time, people commenting on my academic / career success (grades, progress, education, skill, etc) or how much I work tends to come off as really out of touch to the context of my whole life and trauma history.
And thats okay!
Cause I can't expect everyone to assume my trauma or magically know it, and I'm largely okay with that and learned to not sweat it for those that aren't close to me.
That said, it was like half a month or a month ago that my writing partner commented that and every so often I think about it and its odd how much of a bitter sweet yet positive lingering affect that acknowledgement had on me. Cause him and I are both the "we keep going and we keep going and we keep going and in the end we live" approach to life and all the shit we've both been thrown and I guess having someone who shares that tenacity comment on my like.... extremity, especially knowing my history was oddly really.... validating in a weird way.
Cause I was just like ".... yeah, its trauma and I don't really know how to do anything else. It's really my best effort to Not Work Hard but *shrugs*"
Cause unironically, one of the longest running recovery projects we've been doing is breaking down our productivity and breaking down our "high functioning" nature and doing less in life - but even at functional multiplicity / final fusion / wishiwashi recovery, its still one of the things from trauma we struggle to moderate properly.
I dunno, just some trauma talk with the Feathers / Mostly Riku

Weird Dream About Husk From Hazbin Hotel (He Was Being Weird...)
[Note: Mature Audience Readers Only, for now I will have this be under "for everyone" but I might change it later. also reading this is optional so only read this if you want to but you don't have to read this if you don't want to. also besides this going to talk about the weird dream I had about Husk, this will also talk about how Megatron was carrying or like went through the budding in TFA...]
ya know how weird dreams can be when they make no sense at all, also before I start on this talk about that weird dream...
there were reasons as to why I didn't sign back on Monday or Tuesday on September, and some of it isn't just because of the not so great feelings, there were other reason...
but I was able to write one of the Crossover fan fics...
like that one that has to do with Sari Sumdac at the human age of 23 but also the cybertronian age of 23 hundred...it might be a bit confusing.
but anyway the weird dream I had about Husk, was really weird and possibly out of character for him.
and I'm pretty sure he might of been drunk in that dream, cause no way he would willing say what he said in that dream.
the weird dream happen around October 5, 2023...
Husk for some reason placed his head on one of my shoulders and told me I smelled good....so it is possible he wasn't in his right mind, so why would he tell a Defective Earth Angel who's blood type is O RH D Negative that she smelled good.
and who is the same Defective Earth Angel who had found out that weird stuff happens with the modern radio at times when they either pick it up or just have their fingers pointing at it......which once again, luckily doesn't happen much but only once in a while, I can check to see if it acts weird once in a while but it might depend on the signal...
but yeah, the dream was weird and for me having weird and random dreams are normal for me.
oh yeah, and Alastor was in the dream as well, I think I wanted to tell him about Husk being weird, but it didn't turn out that way.
I know that Alastor said he didn't like me, which I think I told him in a sassy way that I didn't care.
for all I know, Husk in that dream might of mistook me for Angel Dust, and I guess it could be possible in that dream I was in the form of Angel Dust but was still me.....would also explain why Alastor said he didn't like me, of course we don't know if he would truly dislike Angel in canon.
my favorite fanon Crossover OTP ship will of course be Blitzhusk, which is Husk from Hazbin Hotel and Blitzwing from Transformers Animated.
I think I want to ship Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe, with either Bulkhead from Transformers Animated or Waspinator from the same show...
both Lapis and Bulkhead might get along because of their love for art.
but their ship might end up being more of a "I bud it" meaning it will be friend zone.
the reason why I would OTP ship Lapis and Waspinator, because they have a bit more in common even if their bad experiences are still different.
they were both wrongfully trapped for many years and cycles.
and they were both hurt by both the Crystal Gems, Homeworld, Autobots and Decepticons.
the ship name of Lapis Lazuli x Waspinator would probably need work.
Lazulinator is just one idea, and there is WaspLazuli.
if those two fused, their ship name could also be the name of their fusion.
also I have a new favorite parody phrase....
"Decepticons Have Their Fun, But Crystal Gems Do It Better."
and yes it references the song "Brunettes Do It Better" by KIDFORCE.
if one could troll Megatron with a crossover music video, with the Decepticons being the blondes and the Crystal Gems being the Brunettes......that would be interesting, and it be funny to watch Megatron's reaction, along with other Decepticons and Autobots who watch it.
it does make sense that Megatron from TFA is Sari's Carrier-Sire.
just like how it makes sense that Optimus from the Shattered Glass version of it, is the Carrier-Sire of the Sari of that universe and timeline.
also I have learned about the whole sparked-up word, which seems to be a counterpart of the word knocked-up.
so yeah my fan theory is that Optimus had accidentally sparked-up Megatron when they were fighting and it being help along thanks to the Allspark, or the Allmatrix as I'm gonna call it...
for all we know the Allspark in that show, might not of been the real Allspark, but was still infused with some of it's power.
would explain that key and it bringing Megatron out of that stasis coma, and possibly being the reason why Sari in her upgrade form, had no control...that key has been chaotic neutral this whole time. O_O
I still think it is possible Megatron wasn't really dead when he was still in Sumdac's lab, but he would of been if the limit was up that had to do with how long his head and body can stay separated.
the time limit could be 50 to 51 stellar-cycles, so if Sari hadn't been born, and didn't end up with the key....during either the 50th stellar cycle in that lab, and in a stasis-coma, it would end up having Megatron going offline in his stasis-coma.
yeah as weird as it might seem, I think it could be possible that Megatron was either going to budding stage or he was carrying, and if he was carrying, the sparkling/hatchling possibly moved from his spark chamber and end up pulling a Athena.
so Megatron would be Zeus, and Sari would be Athena.
he is still long overdue for that Hatchling Shower.
picture if Alastor was told about that dark secret that Megatron isn't aware of, he might enjoy seeing the look on Megatron's face.
like picture him having a cake and gifts and everything, and having "It's A Girl & Techno-Organic!" on a banner.
Alastor congratulating Megatron on the birth of his daughter, could confuse the leader of the Decepticons.
and well if others can come to the whole fan headcanon theory about Megatron pulling a Zeus and him giving birth to Sari and Sari herself being like a Athena....
then some fans can believe that Optimus Prime is the Other Sire, just not the Carrier, well unless we are talking about TFA Shattered Glass Optimus....
for a Womech (a new way to call a Female Transformer who is also called a Femme...) I think they should be called Carers.
if a hatchling/sparkling has two Womechs as parents/creators, it would make sense if they are called Carers, but one of them would be the Carrier-Carer....
Sari could call Megatron, Dad-2....like how Twitch calls Wheeljack by the title Dad-2.
and if in Earthspark, Wheeljack and Ratchet made the Dinobots.
that would possibly mean that if Twitch ever found this out, she might start calling Grimlock and even viewing him as "big brother."
well Wheeljack had sons, now he has a daughter.
he isn't the only Mech who has a daughter that was born on Earth and is technically a Terran.
Sari may have started out as 100% Cybertronian, but she was technically born on Earth, and she had become half-human thanks to human DNA, plus it would mean she wouldn't just have the metal from her cybertronian half but also her human half as well.
because it turns out humans do have some form of metal in their bodies.
it's called Magnesium.....and for all we know the Cybertronians could be made up of some percent of Magnesium or something that is kind of like it.
so anyway, Sari is a Terran by not just her being made up of human elements but also because she was born on Earth.
so while she might have the same metal as any other Cybertronian, she may also have the Magnesium that is thanks to her human half.
anyway we know that some fans do OTP ship Megatron and Optimus together, so it being possible that Sari is both of their own daughter.
could be a surprise to some fans and who knows how it will make the OTP shippers feel.
those two might act like a old married couple already in Earthspark.
Optimus is still a bit of a Himbo Prime, well not everyone has to agree about that but that is how I had viewed him in Earthspark.
Soundwave from Earthspark, he still looks like he has Mom-Hips...
I still want to view Soundwave from TFA as being more of a Soundwave Jr., and Megatron based him off of a Soundwave he knew that could look like Soundwave from Transformers Prime but in TFA form.....which makes me view Megatron as a Simp.
so we could call Soundwave Sr. by his other name, Soundblaster if he and Soundwave Jr. (that Megatron created) are in the same room.
Soundwave Sr. can go by "Soundblaster" while the younger Soundwave Jr. can still be called Soundwave.
I wouldn't be surprised if Starscream called Megatron a Simp.
because he based Soundwave Jr. off of Soundwave Sr...
also technically, Soundwave Jr. and Sari share the same birthday.
and I'm still gonna view those two as siblings, and Sari being the big sister who regrets how she treated him before but becomes a very dangerously protective big sister if anyone dares to harm or try to make unwanted advances on her baby brother.
I don't care, I sib it.
once again when it comes to the different type of ships, there are some that you don't use the word "ship" in it because it will give the wrong idea.
for romantic ships, you use "I ship it"
but for platonic friendships and family, it is "I fam it" and even "I bud it"...
for Sari & Her Autobot friends who are like family, it would be "I fam it."
Shockwave from TFA being like a adoptive sire to Soundwave Jr. (or like better known as just Soundwave in TFA.)
would be the "I fam it."
Blitzwing and Husk being a Crossover ship....
would be a "I ship it."
I still want to ship Amethyst x Alastor, I'm weird for wanting to ship those two, they cannot be any more opposite. XD
well besides Amethyst being a Crystal Gem and Alastor being the Radio Demon.
I still feel like punching Samael.....he probably knows why I want to punch him but he knows I can't....I would probably hiss at him like a cat, or maybe like Husk if anyone tries to take away his booze.
I think it could be possible if someone tries to take his booze way from him, he might hiss...
and well besides wanting to punch him, even if I know it isn't possible...is it weird to have thoughts of wanting to flip him the double bird....?
even if it turns out he is Cain's Bio-Dad, he ain't the fraging boss of me....even if Cain (along with Seth) is my Ancestor.
I want to go live with Omni-Mom/Earthly Mother Goddess.
yeah me being weird when the weirdness causes me to have the very strange and weird thoughts of referring the Heavenly Father & Earthly Mother as "Omni-Dad and Omni-Mom"....
I was born weird, I might of been a accident (well not by my human parents choice to have me.) but it doesn't mean Archangel Samael is the boss of me.
I still want to give Lucifer the cold hands to face punishment, if he had waited until the balance between the Feminine and Masculine energies were fixed properly...
not saying he should of still done that rebellion thing, only he picked the worse slagging time to do that...
even if not everyone has to agree about it...
I'm still not a big fan of Toxic-Religious people, and there are some lines that can be crossed when a Toxic-Religious person becomes a Toxic Hazardous type....
it can be when the Toxic-Religious person becomes far worse than they were before.
anyway it is possible that Megatron was carrying in TFA, and the sparkling that was starting to grow, had moved from Megatron's spark chamber to his head....
thus, making Megatron the Zeus and Sari the Athena.
and it could be possible that Optimus is the Other Sire, and the "Allspark" had shot a light at the two in the middle when they were fighting on the ship, and caused a small part of Optimus's spark, a fragment to be transferred to Megatron.
so Sari's spark is made up of a fusion of fragment of those two's sparks.....which I guess I may have spoiled one of the chapters of my fan fics by saying that, but I'm pretty sure I already posted that chapter.
maybe Bumblebee was foreshadowing when he said Megatron eats protoforms, only I don't think that is true but it could still act as a foreshadowing from Sari being born from Megatron.
like how Athena from born from Zeus, so was Sari born the same way from Megatron. XD
I guess I never thought about it like that before until now.
anyway, I don't know if I have much to say about that weird dream.
it was just weird, and I guess interesting.
well at least it was different from that one dream I had about seeing Alastor and behind him was a Red Moon.
well at least we didn't end up like Star and Marco from SVTFOE.
still love the show, even though I don't agree about the scapegoating the magic for the mistakes that Star's Family had done, you know since Star and her Mom and their side of the family were the ones that misused it....well them and Solaria, who might turn out to be Star's distant aunt if it turns out Star and her side of the family are descendants of Solaria's older brother.
if Husk and Blitzwing dance during that Red Moon, and the lights hit them....it would bond their spark and soul.
I think it could be possible that humans might have sparks, but they are also called souls.
so we could view that Husk does have a spark, and like most former humans, who become sinner demons....they had magnesium in them.
so for all we know, in Transformers.....Humans, are descendants of Cybertronians that came to Earth....during the age which the Watcher Angels were suppose to have fallen for the Human Women and ended up having kids with them.
I'm going to view that as fan headcanon, that humans in Transformers are descendants of Cybertronians that ended up on Earth and even stayed there...
I'm weird and sometimes fan headcanons and theories will be weird.
weird idea that is coming to mind, is Husk being the descendant of Tigatron and Airazor, or like it turning out Husk is like Sari...
that Husk was born from Tigatron & Airazor's fusion form Tigerhawk, which once again makes them the first fusion relationship before Garnet of Steven Universe.
and while Tigerhawk was on Earth, they had ended up having a sparkling, and it was either Tigatron or Airazor who was carrying, and when they were in their fused form that is known as Tigerhawk...
their fusion form Tigerhawk ended up having the sparkling, that looks like how Sari look when she was a baby protoform.
the said sparkling of Tigerhawk, would then be found by a human couple, and one of them or both ends up touching the liquid metal body that was the size of a human baby...
one of them or both would touch it at the same time, get a shock and be out cold for a while before waking up to see the liquid metal body is replace by a human baby, which would later become Husk and end up meeting Alastor.
even if that idea is Fanon and Crossover type Fanon, the idea is just interesting to me.
I might add it in the story I'm writing that has to do with Sari.
I already am shipping Solus with Megatron's Mentor, which means Megatron has Two Moms.
I kind of want to view Solus as Megatron's Carrier...
which means that Megatronus Sr. is the Sire and Solus's Ex, while Megatron's Mentor is Solus's new Junxie.
Megatron has two Womechs as his Carers, and Megatronus Sr. isn't allowed to see his son.
and even if it is in a Crossover Fanon Timeline, Husk being the son of Tigatron and Airazor.
Tigatron, being like a cat, and Airazor being like a bird....
and Husk is a Anthropomorphic Cat with Wings, so of course I'm going to have the weird idea that in a Fanon Timeline he is Tigatron and Airazor's son.
well if a human couple found Husk's protoform self, and he got his DNA from them.....that means Husk has four parents.
even if they might not appear in the story where Blitzhusk started,
but if Tigatron and Airazor ended up in Sinner forms, Tigatron would be a Anthropomorphic Tiger and Airazor would be a Anthropomorphic Falcon or Hawk.
like they could willingly leave the well of all sparks, so they can go find and be at the same place as their son, who became half-human when a human couple found him when he was just born on Earth.
picture Airazor being so happy to see Husk that she hugs him to her chest, which might confuse Blitzwing, Angel and Alastor.
and Tigatron, her Junxie would have to tell her to let him go and stop treating him like a hatchling. XD
I think that weird crossover idea about Husk being born techno-organic and having died and never finding out he is half-human and he technically has four parents...
well who knows how Alastor will process that, or what Angel would say about it...
that idea about Tigatron and Airazor being Husk's parents, might be weirder than that dream I had about Husk.
it be funny and interesting if Airazor and Tigatron gave Blitzwing their blessing to become Junxies with Husk.
I know that might be a weird and strange idea of Husk being Airazor & Tigatron's parents, but it isn't canon and it is fanon...
and well, I don't know if I really do have much to say about that weird dream I had about Husk, it was just weird.
but it was the okay type of weird, plus it could be possible he had mistaken me for someone else and he might of had too much to drink.
some times dreams make no sense, even that one where I saw Alastor and a Red Moon was behind him.
who knows how he would react if he found out Husk's parents are Alien Robots, well only two of them, while the other two are humans.
Sari might have to explain to Angel how that works, if Angel and Blitzwing are the first to find out about Husk having both Cybertronian Parents and Human Parents. XD
I know it is possibly not likely that will happen in the story by Blitzy-Blitzwing, that is called Becoming a Demon.
but I still like the weird idea about Husk being a techno-organic like Sari, and he started out like a baby sparkling like her before his human parents found him and he absorbed their DNA and transformed into a baby human.
anyway in the next post after this, I'm going to talk about a FNAF theory.
and I rather not talk about the stuff that made me feel not great, even if not everyone might understand it.
anyway maybe sometime I will do a ship drawing of WaspLazuli.
and sorry if I really don't have much to say about that weird dream I had about Husk.
if Megatron x Optimus Prime became canon in one of the Transformers Timeline, it might make some fans happy.
just like how some fans were happy about Fizz x Ozzie being canon.
I know I was happy and still am, that Fizz x Ozzie is canon.
Ozzie reminded me of the whole my talking about how my ethereal wings going into flame mode when I get really mad.
well apparently they are suppose to hug around me when I get upset or nervous, so there is that too...can't really see them though.
and there were some stuff that Ozzie said in that new episode, that reminded me of some stuff that I believe is going on.
like possibly being on some kind of spell, but the way he talks about how he doesn't do artificial love.....it is still freaky how that reminded me of that.....
one of the things I notice, is that Ozzie seems to be a beef-cake, like for all we know Charlie's Dad could be hiding muscles and a beef-cake body as well.
I can't be the only one who notice that, right...?
anyway we all have weird dreams, and well when it comes to scary dreams or the type of dreams where you end up dream-walking because of the toxic-lust energy of someone else...
it's best to have a dream-catcher...
well, hope some like the crossover fanon idea about Husk being the son of Tigatron & Airazor...
I wish I could talk more about that weird dream about Husk, like what else that happen in it but I don't really remember much of it.

The explanation given as to how Sothis interacts with Byleth at the end of 3H if she's S-supported seems weird to me:
“She states that when she granted her full power to them, her soul had permanently bonded with them. When Byleth points out she said she could no longer speak to them, Sothis only replies that she also said they would always be together, and that she decided to come back to them in this way because Byleth was lonely.”
So… Byleth wasn't lonely right after she gave them her power, or at any point during the war? Like, this line seems to imply she could literally have come back whenever she wanted but only did so now because Byleth was lonely, but what about this instance was so special that she felt the need to do so now instead of before?
Also, lol at the explanation given for how she does this even in CF:
“Even in the Crimson Flower route where Byleth loses the Crest of Flames, Sothis states that she no longer requires it as she is bound directly to their soul.”
Guess the edelstan argument that Byleth becomes fully human at the end just got debunked; Sothis will forever and always be a part of Byleth's soul, so there goes the supposed “Byleth becomes more human and that's good and a fundamental part of their character arc in CF” aspect of the route. They're always part-Nabatean no matter what, if this stupid little confession is anything to go by.
TBH Billy being able to marry Sothis always felt like a weird easter egg/kink/nod/thing -
Sothis, as a character, would really have benefitted from not appearing at all and "disappearing" to a higher plane or something after the fusion dance, because it makes the rest of the game completely bonkers if she's here -
Sure she wants to make sure Billy will follow their own path... as they hack her very own daughter (and Nopes, fwiw, showed Sothis doesn't like people who kill her kids!) or follow Clout and Deemitri around their respective plots, when the maniacs who dismembered her kin have her daughter and are most likely working on dismembering her too - nah, sorry, but especially after Nopes, I think it'd be more IC for Sothis to tell Billy to rescue her daughter asap, worry about Cichol and dote on Cethleann rather than help Claude deal with Acheron or liberate Firdhiad.
And I can see a point being made about how, in FE16, with those epilogues (and the reveal she had always been there), some people could believe Sothis thinks Billy's path and future is more important, to her, than her children (Rhea, Cichol'n'his bros, Cethleann) surviving the aftermath of a genocide which blows because 1/ it cements her as the Worst Mother ever + 2/ plays in the orange suckling fest of FE16 about the player stand-in completely warping the verse as they always are the "most important" person to someone, regardless of that someone's preexisting net or web of relationships.
But it's, imo, actually 3/ this situation arises because Billy is a non character in FE16, as in they cannot react to events or even say anything -> from the characterisation and clues given in the non-Fodlan games (FeH, FE17, even Nopes to a small extent) if Billy was allowed to be a character and not a ferry for the player, the second they learn Rhea is captured in Enbarr and is Sothis's daughter, they wouldn't ask her to pick between them (and their lord) and her family, they'd obviously ask her to help them save both.
Also, Sothis being able to marry Billy in Tru Piss is imo the finest cup of Hresvelg Grey out there - you slaughtered her daughter (and son and granddaughter?) but she can still marry u bcs uwu your souls are binded niw and it's all roses and uwu, and not something à la Fomortiis were Sothis will hijack and curse and "destroy" Billy little by little to gain a body to wreck devastation upon the world ; and yet, there's still something hilarious about dumping Supreme Leader, on her uwu route, to marry the Goddess she hates!

GUESS WHO GOT INTO HAZBIN HOTEL?
Art dump later!
Honestly I didn’t think I would end up watching a show like this but I am so glad my friend convinced me to continue, I watched the pilot and then watched the rest when episodes 5 and 6 came out, and I have to say it was amazing! While it is more mature than what I usually watch I like the style and the character designs, with Alastor being my favourite of course. Also I am a platonic RadioRose shipper and one sided radiostatic, I find both dynamics sweet and have run the internet dry of RadioRose content.
Now if you follow my YouTube (same username as here) you already know about my oc, if you don’t then here is a little rundown: so she ended up accidentally burning a house to the ground and then got killed by wolves, ending up in hell, she soon made a deal with Alastor and became friends with him, she also had a good relationship with Vox for a bit, both having feelings for each other but never saying anything and are just really comfortable around each other, I have dubbed the ship StaticWolf, which was originally a joke but I ended up making it cannon. Zola ends up cutting things off with Vox after she found out what happened between the two, and now they are stuck in some weird one sided thing, where Vox still loves her, and Zola only loves him a little bit but suppresses it. Anyways it’s getting close to midnight so I’ll stop rambling and leave you guys with this art.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That Zola Vox fusion started the whole ship- because after that is when I questioned the dynamic.

Today's compilation:
World Domination or Death, Vol. 1 1990 Alternative Rock / Indie Rock / Goth Rock / Thrash Metal
So, according to a 1988 Rolling Stone profile that I just read about Björk's old band, The Sugarcubes, and the Icelandic music scene more broadly, the small island nation was pretty musically desolate until about 1981, when UK punk had finally made its way up there. And even after that, Iceland still only had one TV station and one radio station well into the 80s—both of which were state-owned—and the radio station almost exclusively played US top 40 fare.
So, given that landscape, it's then pretty remarkable just how downright weird Icelandic music managed to get so quickly by 1990, which is when this pretty eclectic sampler from The Sugarcubes' own label, Smekkleysa (Bad Taste in English), was released; because it wasn't like Icelanders had a collective easy access to any avantgarde traditions, and they certainly hadn't been organically forging their own either. But if all you and your fellow countrymen have access to for decades is US hits, then I guess the eventual backlash to that can and will turn out to be severe.
So, here's a strange brew of alternative Icelandic tunes that were recorded and released between 1986 and 1990. This label showcase's biggest draw is, naturally, The Sugarcubes, who were one of the first bands to ever receive attention from outside of Iceland (the first was jazz fusion band Mezzoforte; h/t to @dropdead-celebration), when their song, "Birthday," managed to peak at #2 on the UK's Indie chart in 1987, which then caused industry types and journalists to flock to the country itself in order to investigate just what the hell the conditions were like in this small, isolated nation that could lead a band to make something that sounds like that.
But while their exclusive, "My March," received its own sticker on the front of the CD's jewel case—so you'd know that this album had The Sugarcubes on it without having to pick it up and then turn it around in order to view its tracklist—there's actually another band on here that plays the nutty, hall-of-mirrors Sugarcubes style on here too, and with a very similar type of touched little girl vocalizations as Björk as well, but their pair of contributions are, dare I say it, actually better?
Reptile is a band that comes with the following assortment of instruments: your standard drums, guitar, bass, and keyboards, but also a saxophone, a violin, a banjo, and a marimba too. And while that combination sounds like something a bunch of smirking college stoners would probably torture their fellow classmates with, this group actually seems to squeeze out the best sound that anyone possibly ever could with what they have. "Gun Fun," which also appears on their only album, 1990's Fame and Fossils, and their exclusive, "Ó," really do sound a whole lot better than you'd think; a pair of quirky tunes that are unpredictably fun as hell.
But this album's not just made up of a Sugarcubes-type sound; there's also goth rock, thrash metal, industrial, even rockabilly, and also a band called Daisy Hill Puppy Farm (named after Snoopy's home), who deliver a song that totally flies in the face of the vibe that you'd think a band with that name would have; "Young Blood," which also ended up leading their final release, a 1989 12-inch called Spraycan, is a great, ploddingly heavy, downtempo indie rocker that sounds like it came from the States.
So, truth be told, I did not really end up enjoying most of this album, but it's still definitely interesting and worth it to hear some of the varied sounds that this little country that seemed to be pretty culturally isolated from the rest of the world for a really long time for was able to muster in such short order. Other places with far more ease in their many avenues of cultural access seem to have taken a whole lot longer to get to a similar point of weirdness when compared to this small island nation. And while weird stuff tends to stay underground and indie most everywhere else, it seems to not only just rise to Iceland's mainstream, but it becomes their most popular music attraction, overall.
Highlights:
Reptile - "Gun Fun" Reptile - "Ó" Daisy Hill Puppy Farm - "Youngblood"

Digimon Adventure 02 (Blind Watch) - Episode 26
I felt like this episode was a little too exposition dump-y for my liking. I had trouble focusing and had to rewind several times when I missed what they said. Yeah, the jogress digivolution was pretty hype, but it's also really ugly so...mixed feelings there. (According to my googling jogress = join + progress and is called DNA digivolution in the localization. Both names are kinda bleh if you ask me).
At least I can now say I'm over halfway done with this season! Woo-hoo :'D
Digimon introduced: Minotarumon, Okuwamon, Paildramon
Notes:
-The fansubbed version of this show just keeps getting jankier and jankier. As you may have noticed, the title screens have been missing some words. (I still appreciate the hard work of the anime community!)
-I wonder what the pitch was like for the evil lady's powers ("So she sticks her hair into the dark towers and then they transform into digimon!") Like...either we'll get a backstory or this is totally a "rule of cool" scenario.
-Very confused about how the dark towers function currently. When the dark towers turn into digimon I don't think they affect digivolution but maybe they do...? Patamon and Tailmon said something about not being able to evolve into perfect form but is that more about the lack of crests? I guess it doesn't really matter, but I'm having trouble keeping track of things.
-Speaking of evolution, now that there are more evolution options, it feels a little random which evolutions are chosen in the moment. I guess they use higher-powered evolutions for higher-powered enemies, but when they were fighting Minotarumon Veemon did an armor evolve and Hawkmon did an adult evolve. Also, they evolved and de-evolved like 50 times this episode lol. Talk about padding!
-New eye-catch and new ending!! The eye-catch is so cute and I was really excited to see Ken as part of the gang and acting silly. I straight up skipped the ED because, as usual, it was PACKED with visual spoilers. From what I saw, it looked like a cheesy 80s music video which made me giggle.
-Just simple things like Ken and Wormmon sharing a snack at home make me really happy :') his reaction to being shown kindness by Daisuke toward the end was also really heartwarming.
-So evil lady was behind Ken's "Digimon Kaiser" phase all along which is no surprise. Apparently she just chose him due to his vulnerable state which seems like a pretty common MO in anime bad guys. I felt really bad for Ken when he realized how exploited/violated he was. It's probably kinda good that he has a place to direct his anger now instead of wallowing in self hatred. (Although he still seems to be doing that). They're really making it easy for the audience to forgive him which is good. Sometimes anime redemptions happen really undeservedly and evil actions are just excused out of nowhere.
-I only just realized this, but does Ken fill the obligatory "rival" role this season? It was Takeru before (kinda) but Ken seems like a more natural fit, especially with the Jogress Digivolution.
-I was groovin to that Jogress Digivolution sequence music. So hype. The 3D animation was fun too. I think it looks slightly improved from Digimon Adventure?
-Is it just me or do these names keep getting more and more obscure? What the heck is a Paildramon? (The dub pronunciation is really weird, like "Pa-EEL-dramon!"). When the name first flashed on screen I thought they were playing on the word "Palindrome" and I thought that was really cool lol.
-So as I was spoiled in the ED, I guess we'll be getting a bunch of these fusion evolutions. It seems only natural that Ken and Daisuke would be partner up as MC and rival dudes, but the others...? Guess I'll have to wait and see where they go with this.

Diary log 2
Today began by leaving the city nearby and hitting the tunnel on the outside of town. Once there, I noticed some Team Rocket guys just generally making shit worse. I thought “wow these guys are kinda cool” despite all the stuff I heard about on TV Anyway. Managed to catch this unknown staryu fusion. Very cool looking, but it’s pretty frail.
Tumblr media
Not long after, the team rocket guys came after me... One of them just slung a pokeball in my face, and their fused abomination ended up knocking out my staryu before I could manage to fight back. It unfised, and... Both the pokemon wouldn’t wake up, even after being taken to a pokemon center. It’s rather sad, honestly. But the more I find out about these horrid fusions, the more I understand that they shouldn’t exist. Team Rocket immediately entered my shit list when they tried to do a triple fusion, abusing moon stones and clefairy in order to power their horrid machines. I should’ve believed what the TV told me.
Flash forward a little, and I reached the next city. The second gym is an ice gym- thanks to Bustier, I swept them in record time. No qualms there... Until it evolved. I feel rather bad saying it. But. Look at this thing.
Tumblr media
Nasty. A DNA reverser made it... Better?
Tumblr media
I dunno. Ugh. I dont like either of them. An adorable and a tough pokemon turned into monstrocities. I powered on. The next route was nothing, I made a few more captures purely for type coverage. OUGH the Koffing-zubat
Tumblr media
And Ough the pyukumuku and wartortle fusion
Tumblr media
This is how I felt when I saw the two of them, respectively. Cut forward a little, and a man in a pokemon center offered to take the charmeleon out of my nidoqueen, and replace it with an ivysaur! They fill similar ecological niches, and... My lord. It may be my favorite thing ever.
Tumblr media
Busty is looking LOVELY And STUN evolved as well! She’s so silly!!
Tumblr media
lastly for today, I caught a Raicute!
Tumblr media
I... As much as I should be disgusted, this is absolutely adorable. Don’t get attached. Raichy was immediately sent to his maker by some dude who was guarding a ship to the next town. Speaking of. I had to give some guy a back massage? That was weird, but he allowed me to take the bridge off the boat, to the secluded third gym so... I guess I’ll do that tomorrow. This adventure meaning the death of four pokemon so far is beginning to weigh on me. I should really try to minimize casualties...

UAGSHDHFK ITS SO FUNNY U SHOULD MENTION TOOTHLESS FROM HTTYD BECAUSE WHEN I WAS DESIGNING A CONCEPT FOR SAGE’S WINGS (which im still in the process of making) HE WAS MY FIRST REFERENCE :’’’) I LOVE NIGHT FURIES
but also to answer some of those previous elytra questions because they have been on my mind . i’ll sort of just be quoting them audvdhfj ive been thinking about them all day
“What if the elytra (after having been fully fused, I guess, but early users apply too) runs out of durability?”
— okay so pre-fusing the elytra is sort of. brittle. not fully but like regular durability you get in normal minecraft; it wears down after a while and this is because of a couple factors
1.) still adjusting to the host, hasn’t gotten the proper intake of blood and nutrients in its wings to fully sustain itself for the while yet so it’s trying to run off what it currently has (which tends to be very little resulting in them damaging over time if not fixed)
2.) it doesn’t wear down post fusion because the mutations and genes mixing in with the host lets it sort of stabilize by itself and become a part of the host entirely; once the “magical” properties of it are slowly simmering and is replaced with blood, skin, bacteria, etc (on that note the tendrils inside the host’s shoulder blades etc also sort of melt and become new veins/paths for blood circulation to take) (dont ask me how that works uhhh magic and minecraft stuff idk)
“Are the wings something you yourself can feel once they’ve fused with you, or is it more like… a neurological thing, where the elytra just know what you’re thinking?”
— OKAY when the tendrils slip in you’ll feel some generous amount of discomfort but pulling them out hurts more than letting them sink in
— new elytra users need a small bit of time to adjust to the wings and get a grasp on how they feel. its sort of different for everyone but at first it feels like a very strange version of pins and needles- you can move the wings around but it feels weird.
— although yeah the parasitic-ish parts of the elytra kind of do. connect with your brain (DIY lobotomy /j) in order to both A.) get the brain to move the wings around and B.) to do all the increased reaction time and instincts shabang (these stay permanently after fusion)
“Could you feel them as an extension to your body? If they get hurt, would you be able to feel it as if it were your arm or something, or would it be numb?”
- new elytra users get a numb sort of sensation when the elytra gets damaged via an arrow or something
- older (fused) elytra users get the similar sensation to the webbing of your fingers being sliced or punctured (owie)
- also at first they do feel like weird body extensions before eventually adjusting and them becoming literal body parts aisnfwidhfjfk
“If you run out of durability on fused elytras, is that something you could ever fix?”
— yes actually!! healing potions + usually phantom membrane is an efficient way of patching up deep wounds— depending on the type of wing it might just require a lot of healing potions and bandages, but eh its different for every user
— although if a massive chunk of those wings is like torn off then oooh. ouchie thats like having ur arm torn off. yeah that probably wont heal
^ — however . you can get fixes where they attach like a leather-like wing and hollow light silver(?) rods onto where the bones end to make a makeshift wing repair (leather is typically dyeable and able to be decorated)
Tumblr media
bonita drawing ik . but you get the idea !!!!
“Would you be able to get a new pair if you hadn’t been fused yet?”
— YEAH
— if you get the new pair from another person who used it previously the process of the wings shifting to suit you better will take a while longer and vice versa
“Would you have to try to cut off your old elytra to replace it if you *were* fused?”
— yes
— not a pleasant experience but if you hate ur wings so bad then yes you could probably slice them off (i wonder what you would do with them afterwards?? Whats to do with sliced human-sized wings? … wall decoration?? Could you cook and eat them maybe?)
“could you potentially *pick* how your elytra form to look on you?”
— kkkkkkind of? the elytra by default looks like a weird mix of dragon and beetle wings all in one. good flight but also not infinitely durable like mentioned
— the shape of the wings, however, changes to fit the user from what the elytra can gather from their brain
(for example, Sage’s wings are based off night furies and peregrine falcons — fast speedy creatures due to Sage’s own history of enjoying fast speeds/being thrown or spun around and also from the lack of any fear of heights/falling)
(in fact actually enjoying those things) (yk how some kids ask to be thrown into lakes because they enjoy the sensation. yeah thats her)
“Like, if you tried to repair your elytra using a combination of some standard repair materials (phantom membranes, occasionally scales) as well as some other thing (like parrot feathers, for instance), could you possibly get the elytra to take on a form you’d prefer?”
— this is sort of tricky to answer because like. the elytra chooses what form of wings suits you best.
— mutations, though? Like having the elytra change from the dragon-beetle-ish look to having feathers and bright colours? That’s still achievable!! Theres even the possibility to mix and match different biological materials from the desired creatures however if you add in too many the elytra might like. kill you by accident or something (im talking more than like 5 or 7) (usually people opt to have only one or two main repair materials) (3 is teetering on the edge slightly i imagine because of like. neurological effects with all the mutations both physically behaviourally and mentally etc etc)
this also kind of raises the question of “how do you get bug wings” and i’ll be honest w u i have no idea. I imagine there’d be *some* strange way to achieve it? go ham many methods for elytra repairing
( mini rant of sage vv)
(Her way of flying is very similar to toothless in the first two movies. shes sleek and elegant in that cat-like fashion but she also does dive bombs and spins and rolls and is overall extremely confident, nigh cocky with how she flies. a lot of control too!! ,,,, most of the time has definitely crash landed several times) (not to mention speed,,,,, in certain situations when she picks up enough velocity you can hear a whistle coming from the air being sliced by her wings . no idea how to explain but you get the idea)
ALSO THE PHANON TAG IS ALR !! she/her pronouns for me but idrc if you use they/them ajdbfjk
Apologies for the late response, I wanted to make some quick doodles for this at the least!!! It's so fascinating to me! A sidenote before I forget-- what do you think about rocket-propelled elytra flight? Would that be possible at all, or do we pretend canon isn't there for it? It's very silly to think of, but I don't think it'd be very safe, lol.
Tumblr media
Here's a rough gif of how I think it might work! (emphasis on might). The 'elytra' (used to refer to the parasite in this sense) feels like a bug to me... like a palm-sized ladybug, sort of. Just the right size to fit on the small of your back pretty easily. Once you set it there, it'll like... pinch/hurt a bit as it sets in its initial veins & whatnot to connect to you, but it just chills there otherwise. I feel like for pre-fused elytras, trying to take one off would feel kinda like a tick? Gross, but hey
I also use "elytra" in the literal sense-- the hard, chitinous sheaths that cover bug wings-- here, so I could draw it in my head. I think that wouldn't be very comfortable to sit back on, to be honest, if you were in a high-backed chair or something. Anyways, like bug wings they'd unfold and the blood that goes through them would fill them up to full size like you said! It'd likely happen in a matter of seconds for long-time users, but take up to a couple minutes for first-timers.
I've also got a couple post-fusion drawings here, under the cut bc it's kinda veiny and a little gross, so if you're averted to that thing, look away!
Tumblr media
Again, bonita drawing, but just to get it out of my head. The main "body" of the elytra would start to stretch down your back to get further up along your spine, where all the good veins are! Eventually, the body of it would be more vestigial than anything, because it no longer needs it to look for a host (do you think elytras in end cities would be able to wander freely before fusing to someone? Kinda funny to think of someone just getting like. hit in the face by a stray elytra buzzing around).
I do have this as bug in my head, because my brain loves making sense of things, so it's struggling to figure out how other wing types would work. I know it's magical, so whatever goes, but hmm... maybe the customization just comes after fusing, when the elytra doesn't need to expend the extra energy on needing to find a new host, and can instead divert it to making different, sturdier wings...?
I like the makeshift wing repair with lightweight metals or leather and whatnot, it'd be neat to explore that! Just like toothless :). Color & style customization, too! Do you think anybody gets wing jewelry or piercings just to show off? Like irl vultures with wing tags?
"(i wonder what you would do with them afterwards?? Whats to do with sliced human-sized wings? … wall decoration?? Could you cook and eat them maybe?)" -- I mean, if we're in a world with human-sized wings, there's most likely a market for them! I wouldn't be surprised if long-term elytra users were hunted for sport if they had a particularly unique wing type... Wall decoration, for sure, I think hunters would enjoy them! Also good for food in dire situations, as human meat is probably a lot more gamey than any other available source. Feathers or membranes would also be valued for use in repairing of other elytras, in clothing, ceremonial stuff, etc. Kinda neat!
Tell Sage I love her and her flying skills are unmatched. She's crashed before? Didn't see it. She rules
If any of this is coherent, congrats! If not, poke me so I can explain it! Most of my posts will be one long rant and not really read over again for mistakes or anything so godspeed, buddy! Overall I like your thoughts on the matter you rule!!!! Gives my brain more things to rotate :)

Relationships: with Larry, Larry hates Laring a lot because he doesn’t wear the eyepatch proving he has two eyes, Meanwhile with Bilarry he’s kinda neutral, finds him weird, but is neutral on him, with Bing, Bing finds Bilarrys need to wear the eyepatch odd but he likes to steal it and Laring freaks him out

hartley rathaway and or harry wells for the character game
Aha! My favorite prickly porcupine characters :D
Hartley Rathaway
NOTP - Hmm... I mean, he's gay so any ship with a lady that isn't a QPR would be right out. But for a true NOTP... I dunno. Joe West is a definite no. But I feel like I could see Hartley with pretty much any other guy on the show (or arrow-verse at large).
BROTP - Lisa Snart. Are they best friends? Are they QPPs? Either way I want them to be besties for life. That it would annoy Cisco to no end having these two team up is definitely a bonus. But that we never got a Piper & Glider commit crime together on the show is a definite shame.
OTP - Cisco Ramon. Hartmon is one of my favorite ships for the Flash and I definitely feel like the two have more in common than they're willing to admit. Especially when it comes to struggling with feeling like they've failed to meet familial expectations and getting screwed over by EoWells. But they're both brainy nerds, so the two of them bonding over their fandoms and then arguing over scientific theory & implementation the next is definitely part of the appeal of the ship.
Second Choice OTP - Barry Allen. This is another case of two characters having more in common than they're ready to admit. But they don't really have the baggage that Hartley does with Cisco and it's similar to why I enjoy Coldflash since Hartley does start off as Barry's enemy in all timelines but, unlike Snart, makes the full shift over to ally in most of those timelines too. (Though we only see it happen twice.) And, honestly, Hartley's comment about wanting to be swept off his feet by a guy in red leather is the funniest thing anyone's ever said in regards to Barry's suit. :D
Fluffy Ship - Cisco Ramon. As much as their established history lends itself well to angst, I really just like these two being at a point where they've moved beyond it and become all soft and melty for each other. And very protective because they know better than anyone what the other's weak spots are.
Angsty Ship - Eobard Thawne (as Harrison Wells). It's heavily implied canon that these two were involved before Hartley found the flaw(s) in the accelerator and Eobard gave him the boot, breaking up with and firing Hartley in one fell swoop. I tend to prefer it for background angst since I want Hartley to find happiness, but there's definitely a deep well of angst in there with Eobard manipulating Hartley on multiple levels.
Poly Ship - It's a toss up actually so...
David and Rob Singh. David is actually Hartley's love interest in the comics, so arguably Rob (whose last name is never given that I know of, so I just hand him his husband's instead) was created to partially take Hartley's place. That being said, what little of David/Rob seen in canon is very loving and stable, which is an environment Hartley would benefit from greatly. There definitely needs to be more of these three together and I guess at some point I'm just gonna have to write more myself.
Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon. It's my two fav OTPs for Hartley smushed into one, plus sticks two sunshine boys together. What could go wrong? hehehe (so much, no doubt)
Weirdest Ship - I mean... I don't really have a crack ship for Hartley, but arguably his canon ship with Roderick Smith is weird to me, for all that I enjoyed patching in the backstory for them with my semi-canon compliant three-parter fic series. Roderick is retconned into canon events on the show itself with 'remember the new guy' flashbacks and leaves him conveniently comatose so that he becomes Hartley's plot coupon for his redemption arc 2.0, this time speed run on screen instead of being retconned into existence. (Of course, it's set up by retconning out the first redemption arc out of existence first.) Because of how Roderick's screen time is largely confined to a fight scene flashback and naptime in a sleeping beauty glass coffin (I really gotta write a fairy tale fusion for these two), Roderick's a blank slate. He has no personality, so he can be given any personality necessary for a story and it's not OoC. Because he has no character beyond 'loyal to Hartley'.
Harry Wells
NOTP - His fellow Wells. Much as I like the idea of Harry learning to shed some of his self-hatred and that being reflected in how he treats his fellow Wells, I'm not generally into self-cest/twin-cest ships and parallel universe selves definitely fall in that area.
BROTP - Joe West. I really like their friendship in canon. It's nuanced and nice for two dad's to be able to bond over all the weird stuff their super powered adult child problems. They both have a tendency to get in trouble with their kids for being over-protective to the point of smothering too, so I just... like these two getting chances to bond. I also like that Joe is the one who really calls Harry out on his behavior in S4.
OTP - Cisco Ramon. There's so much UST and innuendo between these two in canon that the only two reasons I can think of that this ship didn't become canon was a.) the age difference between the characters/actors and b.) the writing staff has made a number of queerphobic decisions over the years that I suspect they can't conceive of Cisco being bi. Harry is clearly, canonically devoted to Cisco. So extending that devotion into romantic territory is way too easy to see.
Second Choice OTP - This is a hard one for me because Harry reads as being demiromantic and demisexual to me, so a lot of the popular ships for him get a kind of 'meh' response from me. I think E2 Tess Morgan - at least I'm assuming his unnamed wife was E2 Tess Morgan based on the audio clip used when he was sharing his memories of her with Jesse - would have to be my runner up OTP, though. We know he loved her dearly and Harry's love of her, even years after her death, is incredibly hard for him to speak of even to his daughter. So I can only imagine just how much happiness these two shared together in the early days of building STAR Labs and taking care of little Jesse.
Fluffy Ship - Cisco Ramon. Once the angst is cleared out of the way, these two just fall beautifully into sync with each other and being generally soft and domestic. Give me the fluffy happiness. :D
Angsty Ship - Hartley Rathaway. I haven't really gotten into this ship too much, but the potential for angst between these two is great. Harry's trying to leave the shadow cast by Eobard Thawne and afraid the things he did so that Zoom wouldn't kill Jesse mean he never will. And Hartley has to move beyond the hurt Eobard caused him in order to truly see Harry for who he truly is. I think Harry would be potentially drawn to Hartley for some of the same reasons he's canonically drawn to Cisco - they're both brilliant, snarky little assholes when they want to be and Harry is just delighted to have someone who pushes back when he shoves.
Poly Ship - I can't really see Harry being in a poly relationship that doesn't involve Cisco. And it'd be more likely to be a V - which would mean Harry would have to examine his jealousy issues - but in some cases I could see Harry falling into a triangle with Cisco and another too. I've been enjoying writing my Cisco/Harry/Hartley story, so for now that ship would specifically be my fav poly ship for him. But I think Harry's ultimately more likely to be accepting of others in a poly ship but not really interested in one for himself.
Weirdest Ship - HR Wells BROTP. I want these two to learn to like themselves and it being reflected in them growing a brotherly relationship while they weren't paying attention. They both struggle with self-hatred in their own ways and project it onto each other in differing degrees. Harry has the genius that HR wishes he had and HR has the social skills that Harry doesn't know how to emulate. They're both so very ND too and mask in different ways. So the ways in which these two play off each other is just fascinating to me. It's not necessarily weird-weird as a ship, but everything HR does is odd somehow. (Which is part of what I like about him.)
Bonus:
More thoughts on the Harry & HR BROTP. Okay, so, imagine HR had survived the end of S3 and gone back to Earth 19 to recuperate + help Cynthia with a much needed social revolution of what seems to be a massively fascist government there. Would have completely changed aspects of S4. In this AU HR would have learned to value his own strengths over the course of S3 and background of S4, so having him pass on what he's learned to help Harry with valuing his own emotional insights would be a interesting evolution of their relationship, with Harry especially learning from HR to treat himself with kindness and forgiveness.
<3 oh if only.
As it was, we did briefly get HR semi-back from the dead during Nash's possessed by the Wells arc. And while it's all background acting choices on Tom's part no doubt, Harry clearly treats HR with more patience, understanding, and kindness during the characters scenes together during those episodes. HR, in turn, wasn't being passive aggressive towards Harry either, no longer having to feel like Team Flash really wanted Harry and not him. Seeing the growth there for both of them was really a nice glimpse into the characters before we lost them for good. (Also Harry occasionally borrows one of HR's drumsticks. So they are basically sharing stim toys and I love the sibling-esque dynamic of it.)

So I had a thought and it’s about kuizma he’s a fusion of both guzma and kukui so what would it be like dating Them
( hc: he/they for kuizma)
Tumblr media
Dating kuizma headcannons!
When you first met kuizma it was probably when you get to alola, he seemed a little weird when you first met him but they didn’t care if you thought they where odd he was two people after all that don’t get along, but somehow when you met them he seemed to calm a little, after that you where mainly focusing on becoming champion while kuizma was flabbergasted by you, “hey!” He called out to you and starts to chat with you and ends up giving you his number while they try to smooth talk you (it fails) but you accepted the number anyway,
Kuizma is sometimes around po town often or the beach house, tho he tries to stay away from that house because it brought him sad memory’s and a heavy weight that can’t go away, you see when he became kuizma burnet couldn’t date them because of his personality being combined so she left him to the point that kukuis side made them cry, he can’t blame her for leaving him but he wished she would’ve at least tried more or there probably in denial
Let’s say they try to hide there feelings from people to advoid being judged, because there feelings where always a one sided for one only not the other (meaning kukui could love but guzma doesn’t like them that way ) tho it was a shocking when they met you again near po town, they seem happy that you came to see them. Hell you even brought them a gift, “a…gift for us? I mean me?” He tries to hide he’s a fusion but I’m pretty sure it’s real easy to tell who they are by looking at there clothes and hair but there eyes? Probably not,
I imagine that kuizma would argue with themselves about falling in love with someone but both of em at the same time for one ? Shocking, but he probably got himself together and went to find you and ends up seeing you at the beach so they go over and he can’t control themselves and start breaking down telling you that there in love with you and if you don’t like them they would understand but nope you accepted him for himself not because they are two different people together, it didn’t matter he was excited and happy to find love,
He ends up telling you that his last relationship ended because he couldn’t be one person without feeling the other pull away from her, which seemed to upset them but was surprised when you tell him you where kicked out/moved out by your Ex that didn’t love you anymore and wanted someone new, this made both sides of kuizma upset and angry but he knew they couldn’t do anything about it so they comfort you in there own ways,
This manlikes being cuddled at night and in the morning or when they really need to be held when there having a hard day or time, you mainly sleep at the shady house but it took awhile for kuizma to let himself forget the painful memory’s and accept that they moved on with you, the bed in shady house is kinda broken from his size, the bed at the beach house is big and comfy for the both of you to sleep and cuddle together
Sense kukui is probably 6’0 and guzma is 6’5 (at the most) there height as kuizma is 7’6 , kuizma always laughs when you call him a giant guess he’s really that tall huh? He will tease the shit out of you with how tall he is, they don’t care unless your sensitive to be made fun of with your height he’ll probably apologize and ask if your not too upset at them and will try to make it up, not to mention they will bend down to kiss you or they will pick you up and hold you and cuddling you, sometimes they get so comfy to the point he would fall asleep while holding you.
They don’t steal Pokémon sense teamskull disbanded but kuizma will sometimes steal from horrible trainers and try to give the Pokémon to a trainer that can take care of that Pokémon better then he can. Speaking of Pokémon his team is golisopod, lycanrock, braviary , scizor, pinsir and incineroar! , he does use Z-moves but not all the time, is team is lvl 90!
Dating him is an experience

how can you tell the difference between co-front/co-con and a temporary(?) fusion? mostly just curious
-💥🎮
Hmm like a lot of dissociative experiences, its kind of hard to put into words, but one of the "flags" so to say that makes them distinct is often a sense of separation and occasionally addressing / it feeling more natural to talk about both parts involved in third person despite it "definitely being you".
Like I'll use the example of the recent one that incited some of this talk, but Lucille and I were in the car (ignore my symptomatic ass forgetting we aren't literally two different people in a car) we were sitting in the car with our fiance listening to an organ performance of Bach Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor and Fugue in G Minor and for those that don't know, Lucille is a part that is a mega pretentious classical music and somewhat music history nerd who really loves the piano; I'm a huge instrumental (leaning late romantic era, soundtrack music, and brass) nerd who really loves the organ
When we are co-front, which we were vaguely before we temporarily fused, there is a distinct feeling of "me and him", I'm right here and this is my line of thoughts and he is right there and there are his line of thoughts. We function and exist in parallel to eachother and my sense of self remains "here" and he is "there". I can clearly identify that this thought is obviously mine because of course it is, and I can hear he thought / comments as him because "hes right there". This is to the point where we actually have three way conversations with our fiance from time to time because we are both just here. Co-con is similar but just one part has the front and the other is "back there" rather than "right there sitting with me". This might be different for some since we actively and regularly co-front especially around our fiance, and Lucille and I are both some of the best connected parts in our system + also charted to fuse formally at some point when the time is right
However, when we opened our mouth to start a ramble / info dump on how Bach is absolutely amazing and rolling down on a ramble about Bach and Baroque music, we had to pause for a moment because as we started the ramble, we had lost track of who was speaking and whose opinion this was which was largely distinct from blurriness as whoever WAS speaking still felt like a whole and specific defined alter and there was very little of that confusing dissonant dissociative feel in compared to blurriness which often feels like a fog, feeling a bit lost / confused, and increased dissociation.
We took a second to pause and sort it out - since we like to keep track of that and were like "Well this is obviously coming from Lucille because no one else has this much knowledge on the history of Bach and Baroque music other than him plus I am talking in his dialect and partially his accent; but also >I< definitely am still speaking and Riku definitely doesn't disagree and... hmm, odd I guess I'm both right now" which is a result of the fact that I absolutely could not pull apart which was more prominent and both part's "wavelengths" melded together well and comfortably that whatever standard I was operating at was comfortably functioning as a single identity.
At that moment of time, we were neither just Lucille or Riku, but we were some weird state of "yes". It stuck around for the remainder or the point we wanted to make across and then like 10 minutes later before we ended up phasing back apart to Lucille and Riku respectively.
I'm not sure if that makes sense cause describing anything dissociative always is difficult with how much it feels kinda metaphysical but its really the lack of seperation between entities and often "Ah did I just talk about both parts in third person while talking about myself in first person huh, go figure - ANYWAYS About Bach..."
Hope that answered somewhat?
