#it hit me hard when you see her and you see how a hyperfixation can trap you and define you too

Since it’s Chiaki day, I do wanna talk about something about Chiaki’s character that I really love that I don’t think gets talked about enough.
And that is the undeniably wonderful and beautiful love she does have video games.
This goes from the human version of Chiaki in DR3 that is able to use games to open herself up to her classmates to the much more standoffish AI version who will tell you that every game, even a bad one, is still meaningful to her in her first free time you spend with her. When it comes to each character’s talent in the games, they always have a divided opinion on the subject and how they feel about what it says about them.
With Chiaki, she just really, really loves games. Sure, there’s this lament that it’s the only thing she can be. With the anime, she expresses to Hajime that even if he is normal and without talent, he can still go anywhere. And she, Chiaki, will always be the Gamer Girl.
But at the same time, her hyperfixation is a true passion and love. No game is a waste of time for her. Whether it’s hard or easy, she just loves all of them and completes them. She always wants to understand them and talk about them.
Tumblr media
It’s so easy to get angry at games, to trash on them instead of seeing them as an art form. The same goes with our expectations of art in general, but there is a sincerity to Chiaki’s obsessions. It may even be unhealthy as she notes she sometimes forgets to eat, sleep or even breathe while experiencing them.
But honestly, gaming is a true and sincere part of her character. One that I can’t help but think the creator and writers really injected so well into her. She references games that no one has ever heard of. She talks about bad games in the same breath as the good and memorable ones. She gets offended when Monokuma “desecrates” a classic, but forgotten adventure game series to use it as a motive. She encourages her classmates to grow closer by playing games with her and forms connections with them. And even in the DR3 anthology mangas (I think it is), when she loses trivia games, she stays up until she memorizes all the social trivia games that she isn’t even good at just because she loves being a gamer so much.
Chiaki Nanami just is the realest gamer girl.

Some observations about Baldurs Gate 3 that hit too close to home.
After another few runs i will probably just make an in-Depth Character Analysis for every character simply because they are good reflections of actual trauma-manifestations and how abuse can manifest in people. They are also so well written that it serves a narrative purpose to explore all the material that is out there about them. I am also personally cursed with actual medically-relevant levels of Empathy and Hyperfixation; so writing this helps me put a pin in it and move on.
But so far here are my highlights
(SPOILERS and obviously content warning bc these are deep)
before you ask; i have almost 300h in this game.
You have to convince Shadowheart to eat the Noblestalk. She actually stells you she rather get her memories back from Shar but when you hit the persuasion or intimidation (what the fuck) check to get her to eat it she'll tell you about her childhood friend. Not her name, not her parents but her best firend. Possibly because she has had a closer bond to that person after being abducted and indoctrinated. With her believing herself to be an orphan, she would've looked elsewhere for comfort and sought out her own family, this is why she falls hard and heavy for Shar and builds the backbone of her indoctrination. She is literally ripped out of her home & given a new identity to server her from all she has known. Religious indoctrination, Gaslighting, Abduction, being forced to let go of your personality are her main themes.
There is a scene out there floating around in which you see Astarions pespective of the night when he bites Tav for the first time, in his meditations he is confronted with the rules Cazador put on him, including that he can't eat intelligent creatures, can't be away from Cazador unless allowed to, has to obey every command and that they are should know that they are property. Which in turn means that Astarion literally didn't just have any autonomy, he was objectified (and not just through seductive/sexual measures) and that is really the crux to understanding why he doesn't believe in kindness, but rather shows self-serving behavior in most cases. Since we know that Astarion was extremely young for an elf before he died and became immortal (literally stopping the aging /maturing process) it is also very telling that Cazador constantly calls him brat, boy or other very juvanile names, refering to them as a family... well it is also the story of a very controlling parent. Themes of (Bodily) autonomy, infantilization ( & puer aeternus, forever-child), slavery, depersonalisation, corruption of life and torture to break someone.
Gale isn't just a guy hung up on his Ex, but also a victim of abuse. In this case a power imbalance none of us can fathom; She is described as being a jealous goddess and rules over the domain of mysteries and magic. So with Gale being a Wizard, she is literally his boss. He admits that he was foolish enough to aspire to be an equal to her, but she is so jealous that she tells him he can't really be worthy as long as he takes breath. She could just take his powers away and be done with it, that would be more than enough punishment for a guy who literally made Mystra and her domain his life's purpose, but she rather makes him do it himself. Add to that, that she literally only tells him this after years of self-isolation (after he put down so many wards that he could've blown up a whole army as he says if you click the right dialogue) to really fuck him up well. He also talks about death pretty much constantly, not surprising giving your situation, but he will tell you that he will kill himself at several points in the game, for instance after he comes clear about his nethrese orb. Themes of romantic abuse, power-imbalance, toxic work enviorment, self-isolating behavior, suicidal ideation
Wyll ... well from the looks of it he is the most well adjusted of all the companions (my opinion) but he has something that i'd describe as the "eldest daughter"-syndrome, more commonly known as parentification. This pattern usually occurs within single-household parents and is commonly described as a parent looking to their child for emotional or practical support, rather than providing it to their kid. We meet Ulder and see that he talks over Wyll a lot, not listening but expecting him to follow the standard he sets for him. That is also why Wyll repeats his fathers words like gospel (because this is what, in his mind, fullfills the expectations bestowed upon him) and why he loves fairytales / bard tales so much (because they are an ecapist view of the job he set out to do) Ulder literally exiled his teenage son because Wyll did the only thing he could to save an entire city, by sacrificing himself. Thats a lot to expect from a 17 year old - even more so, he doesn't stop with the heroics. He expects himself, as a human who hasn't even reached the age of 30 to hold up to mystical creatures such as Astarion or Karlach, or even Gale who is a accomplished Wizard. Themes of parentification, escapism, self-harming through putting himself in danger, chronic-self-sacrifice
In plain words; Gortash, Karlach's Idol sold her to a Devil. But add to that that she must have been pretty young when she was sold (late teens to early twenties possibly) and being that if you play as a Tiefling, you face a lot of predjudice she was likely forced into that position as well. Starstruck she was, with a juvenile naitivy that Gortash used. Appropriately, as he is the chosen of Bane the god of "tyrannical oppression, terror, and hate, known across Faerûn as the face of pure evil through malevolent despotism" (Source: Forgotten-Realms Wiki / Bane) So she pretty much was raised in a toxic enviorment, which forced her to become a killing-machine, first figuretively, then with the extraction of her heart, literally. Themes of slavery, oppression, misuse of trust, being taken advantage by a more powerful/older(?) person, being drafted.
Jaheira - to be honest, you need to know the lore of the previous baldurs gate games or just listen to her dialouge, ask her all the questions. She is a war-veteran against Bhaal, the good of ritual murder, and has a long history of fighting to achieve some sort of balance of power. She lost her husband and several close people all to this, or any other war, but due to her wisdom and strength people look to her for guidance. Themes of: Survivors Guilt.
Halsin - he is really closed off at first but then just casually hits you with "i was captured in the underdark and spent 3 years chained to a bedroom wall by a pair of drows who used me as they pleased". He is reprimanded by some of his druids for leaving the grove as soon as opportunity struck, just to get back and leave the next day, and if you talk to him about his position in the grove he is actually very forthcomming. He actively holds himself back; indulging in simple hobbies because he knows what lies within his heart. He is afraid of himself and his potential (canonnically he can't control his wildshape, which is very weird for an ARCH-druid) Themes of: impostor syndrome, avoidant-based self-harm, sexual opression, loss of control, emotional regulation.
Lae'zel is a very tragic case, and one that closely resembles the stories of Shadowheart and Karlach. Her entire existence is based upon a matriachial war society allowing her to live if she proves she can be of use and that in a culture which only values brutality, dominance & service. All of that culimating in her finding out that her oh-so-beloved Queen is actually just an imposter, and that everything she has lived for up to that point is merely political propaganda created to make her, and the rest of her entire species, willing pawns in a war that has no longer bearing on their survival alone, but is fought to justify Vlaakith's (the reigning monarchs) personal ambitions. Not only is she forced to reconcile that she is turned into the thing that controlled her kind for hundreds of years, that the only cure she knows of would kill her and then on top of that, that her hopes and dreams were lies and that she is now the Nr 1 enemy of the person she has served with all her being. themes of: oppression, propaganda, casual violence, objectification, child-warfare, eternal warfare
Minthara in short, her story is about being shamed for growing up in the same scenario that Lae'zel grew up in. Lolth, the god of the Lolth-sworn drows is a crazy queen who values scheming & backstabbing so much and is so volatile that you can't know what to expect of your deeds (and i mean it; there were people who were appraised by her for scheming against her, but also those who were killed. It's almost random.) She considers Lolth to be cruel and abandoned her for the Absolute, only to then be used and abused the same way Lae'zel has. Not with promises, but erasing her memory and exposing her perceived weakness. Themes of: casual violence, violent culture, her own ambition colliding with her desire to be safe, being a pawn in a larger game.

a/n: i've been thinking about this man's tie for way too long, i had to do something about it. i also blame @cupofjoel for fully dragging me down this new hyperfixation. You can thank her for reminding me that Mike has a squeaky bed 💜
**divider made by @saradika xx
Tumblr media
You sit patiently on top of Mike’s squeaky bed. It’s a gray morning. Clouds hover thick above the city, soft rain droplets hitting the window panels. You look out, observe each and every drop that trickles down. You miss him. It’s been a rough month, his new job at Freddy Fazbear’s really hammering the fact that Mike’s not well. His guilt and grief heightening with every passing night. Which was why you offered that Abby should stay with your roommate, at least for one night, and Abby adored staying at your place. You had even bought her a brand new sketchbook and a new set of crayons. 
Finally, the door creaks and without even meaning to you jump. The sky is darker than ever now, the rain getting heavier by the minute. Your eyes shift to the entrance of the bedroom, only to see a tired Mike staring back at you. 
“Hey,” he greets you, voice hoarse from lack of sleep. “Sorry, I’m late.” 
“Long night?”
“Yeah.” 
He shuts the door behind him and makes his way to you while loosening his tie. Your eyes linger over his hands, his neck. Mike swallows thickly, and your mouth dries at the sight of his Adam’s apple moving. You part your legs and he drops to his knees between them, he cradles your face so soft that your heart stutters a bit. His thumb draws lazy circles over your skin before he brings you to his lips, tongue slipping into your mouth and tasting you. “Missed you,” he gasps, following the confession with another kiss. 
Mike drags his lips down to your neck, sucking the sensitive skin, a breathy moan escapes your lips. “Missed you too,” you answer. Your fingers move down the fabric of his tie, you twist your wrists, circling the smooth and cold material around your skin. “Use me,” you whisper into his mouth. “Show me how much you missed me.” 
When you’re as desperate for control as Mike is, it’s hard to resist such a request. 
He tugs at the tie, it slips away smoothly from underneath his collar and finds its place around your wrists. Not too tight and not too loose. He makes a hurried knot, the type that you know he’ll be struggling to loosen when all of this is over. 
Mike stands and takes a step back, his forefinger hooked around the tie, he pulls you along with him. Your breath catches as you fall to your knees. His cock strains against the fabric of his pants and all you can do is stare. Arousal builds between your legs, your thighs helplessly moving against each other for some kind of relief. Lips parted, Mike pulls down your bottom lip with the pad of his thumb and then follows the outline of it. 
“So pretty,” he says. “Are you going to be good for me?”
“Yes.” 
His lips press together with a curt nod. You can see the muscles in his jaw tensing, the veins in his neck more visible compared to how they usually are. With one hand he unzips himself, your heart beats rapidly as the same hand slips underneath the waistband. His pants slip down a bit, exposing more skin. Pulling out his cock, he strokes himself only inches away from your face. Precome gathers at the tip. The head a beautiful shade of red. You try to remember when was the last time you got to enjoy each other this way and you can’t. 
Mike lifts your arms by the tie, “Open your mouth.” And you do. You stick out your tongue as he slips into your wanting mouth. He thrusts shallowly in and out, teasing you, using you just like you asked. Your eyes flutter, his cock going deeper down your throat, his head falls back. 
Your fingers twitch and you desperately want to touch yourself. Your underwear dampens with slick, your nipples rising with attention. Mike buries himself into you with fervor, hips snapping into the heat of your mouth. You finally close your lips around him, sucking him hard as the bulbous head of his cock makes you gag around him. 
“Fuck—” He holds himself deep inside, your nose buried in the curls, your nostrils flare as you try to breathe. Your body shudders. Come and saliva drips from the corner of your lips, a mess that goes down the column of your neck. “Feels so good baby. . . look at me.”
You do but barely. Your eyes tear up as you meet his heavy gaze. The brown of his eyes looks almost black. His brows knit together and he pulls out, only to shove every bit of himself inside, he moans with his eyes still fixed on yours and you choke. “Fuck,” he groans. “Fuck fuck fuck. Why do you always have to feel so good?”
Suddenly your mouth is left empty and you gasp for air. Your arms fall limply on to your lap. Mike hastily kicks off his boxers and pants, his cock wet and glistening. 
“Get on the bed,” he orders. “On your side. I want to see you when I fuck you.” 
Very clumsily, you get to your feet and move to the bed. The springs squeak at the added weight, the sound nearly buried by the noise of the rain but not quite. Mike rips of his shirt and your stomach bottoms out. His hands squeeze your ass before he tugs off your sweatpants and panties. You gasp at the sudden cool air. Body both cold and aflame. His cock presses against the base of your spine while he gets behind you. His hand nudges between your thighs, lifting one leg over his waist. He feels how wet you are. Feels how badly you want him. With two fingers he plays with your puffy clit, lazily stroking the sensitive nub until a fresh gush of wetness coats him. 
“That’s it. . .” he coos, warm breath fanning your ear. “Such a good, obedient girl.” 
Squeezing your eyes shut, you whimper. Your hips roll back, blood rushing to your ears, a hum fills them. You need him so badly that it hurts. Too long. It’s been too long. 
“Mike. . . please. . .” 
“Please,” he mimics you, amused. “God I love the sound of you begging. And actually listening,” he kisses the space right behind your ear. It tickles. “Just one more time, what do you want? Ask very nicely.” 
“Please fuck me. Please.” 
He makes a sound of approval, you feel the press of his forehead against the back of your neck without a word, he fills you to the brim. You’re so wet that he slides in with ease. Your back arches, your jaw grows slack. Pleasure washing over you and licking the base of your neck. His cock throbs balls deep inside of you. 
“Mike,” you whimper. “God, Mike—” 
He takes hold of your chin and forcefully twists you enough to meet his gaze. His one hand slides up your shirt and grabs your breast as he crashes your lips together. His tongue moves eagerly, hips rocking into you. The bed creaks with his every thrust. But you’re too far gone to care about the neighbors. He fucks you until all the air exits your lungs and you part away from his lips, he keeps your head turned to him, watching your eyes become glazed as he hammers into your deeper—harder. 
“Touch yourself,” he says into your mouth. “Make a mess, baby.” 
Another moan drops from your lips when his cock hits you just right, your body quivers and you can barely register what he’s saying. He pinches one of your pebbled nipples and your cunt tightens around him. His pacing slowing down into a leisure roll of hips. 
“If you don’t listen I’m going to stop,” he says, a threat made with the softest of voices. “You don’t want me to stop now do you?” 
“N—No. . .” 
“Then touch yourself.” 
Sniffling, you move your tied hands between your legs. You start to draw tight circles around yourself, your body clenches and your eyes flutter closed. Feels so good. Your cunt flutters around him and his lips touch your cheek, a choked groan made into your skin. 
Mike resumes the pacing of his thrusts. The springs of the bed protesting loudly at the force of his hips. His hand trails down to your stomach and squeezes the soft flesh, the drag of his cock along with the sloppy fingering of your clit makes your head spin. Wet squelches echeo in the room. You’re so close—So damn close—
You cry out, his name dropping from you lips over and over like a chant. You cunt clamps down around him, gushing as he fucks you through it. Your hands ball into fists, your body pushing against his thrusts. He shoves his tongue between your lips and ruts into you, he whimpers. You feel the swell of his cock, his muscles growing taut. 
“Gonna—gonna come—” He hisses through grit teeth, his hips jerk once, twice and by the third time he’s spilling inside, teeth sinking into your neck as he moans loudly. The sounds he makes accompanied by the squeaking bed. 
Your eyes roll to the back of your skull. Your entire body loose and pliant to his touch. Your breath hitches. Your pussy still squeezing and fluttering around him as he continues to come. He peppers your skin with soft kisses, licking the salt of your skin. 
Mike pulls out with a groan and flips you to your back, he unties your hands, “God, you gotta stop me coming inside,” he huffs, albeit a bit unheartedly. He spreads your legs, watching your glistening cunt overflowing with come. With a heady faze, he pushes it back inside. “You do look good like this, can’t deny that.” 
“Happy that you’re enjoying the view,” you smile. “Now, come here.” 
You spread your arms and he lays on top of you, nuzzling your neck. You hold him tight as his hands lazily caress your hip. “Do you feel better?” 
“I do,” his eyelids grow heavier and heavier, the long night finally catching up to him. Rain still hits the windows, lulling you both into sleep. “We should take a shower,” he mumbles.
“In a bit,” you say, playing with the messy strands of his hair. “I’ll wake you, just rest a bit for me alright?” 
“Yeah. . . okay.” 
It doesn’t take him long to start snowing softly into your skin. Very slowly, you manage to pull a blanket over you both, his come sticky between your legs. Lighting strikes, the room filling with a sudden burst of light. The following roar of thunder doesn’t bother you. 
Seconds later you also fall into the sweet embrace of sleep. The promise to wake him soon forgotten as the two of you find solace in each other’s arms.

im sorry if someone has pointed these out already but i replayed p5t again and i am in absolute SHAMBLES with these new observations. i never actually post my thoughts here but i kinda need people to talk to about p5t IM AUTISTIC AND HYPERFIXATED. anyway onto the real post, sorry if this is unorganized and messy. im just really excited
i really wanna talk about the whole event that happens in the 3rd kingdom, on the rooftop.
soo.. when the school crashes and transforms.. it resembles a clock. a train station??? and. said clock is unmoving. what struck me is the time it was stuck on. 6:00pm, or 18:00, the exact time The Train Incident (tm) takes place, and the exact time eri was pushed onto the train tracks at the station.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i guess you could say, toshiro is stuck in the past, unable to move on and process his trauma. it's the extreme guilt of him losing his closest friend and how standing up and rebelling... just ended up in so many people hurt. he can't possibly live bearing the sin of that.
but here's when it gets more interesting... when shadow toshiro was threatening to kill erina, and when erina/eri inspired toshiro to take a stand, he throws joker's knife through the shadows hand, but more specifically, through the gloved hand, the one damaged from the train.
Tumblr media
then with a really good sequence, toshiro runs as fast as he possibly can (i wonder how he did that actually) and with flashing memories of him failing to save eri in between, he manages to catch erina before she falls. and... he catches her with his damaged hand. the same hand that failed to save eri, saved erina.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
remember the clock from the beginning? it STARTS MOVING AGAIN right after this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this whole scene is genuinely such a beautiful and symbolistic way to show that toshiro finally found his resolve, and that despite all that trauma in the past, he's ready to change for the better and move again.
oh, and one more thing. toshiros mask only has one eye shown. the left one... the one that eri lost. they have ONE EYE EACH AAAAGHHH!! their souls really are connected.
what gets me more is that one of toshiros catchphrases in combat iirc is "witness OUR power as ONE" and it makes me go insane because he basically sees eri as his hero (here ill quote a futaba dialogue that hit me hard: "natsuhara's like the undefeated heroine in toshiro's life story, huh?") and she made him feel like he's more than just a puppet of his father. she inspired him to take a stand, and while this resulted badly, it led to his LITERAL SOUL subconsciously manifesting into a being heavily based on her (erina)
he just believes that eri/erina is a huge part of who he is. so "witness our power as one"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the fact he doesn't have a real PT outfit disappoints me a bit, but id like to think it's because eri taught him that he doesn't need to become all cool and change himself to rebel. he just needs to be himself. that's really it.
some extra things i have noticed:
-shadow toshiros 'weapon' is basically just bandages. i first thought this was a twisted more distorted version of the bandages eri gave toshiro when they first met (since shadow toshiro claims to despise eri)?? but someone in yt comments pointed out its probably made from eri's bandages after the incident. and i think that makes much more sense
-toshiro is the only persona user that has a persona opposite of his gender... that's kinda... 🏳️‍⚧️ if you ask me...heh (im trans)
-i know many know already but erinas character design is GENIUS . like ... the covered eye and the prosthetic leg?? referencing eri?? SO FUCKING WELL DONE. genuinely one of my fav character designs in persona
-not really an observation but remember the 'thank you instead of sorry' hideout talk where toshiro tells the gang about eri more?? when it was finished and toshiro said "natsuhara-senpai...um, thank you." IT TORE MY HEART STRINGS STOOOPPP
-idk im kinda unnormal about eritoshi. that's all

Alice Oseman's Solitaire is a very important book and here's why:
A lot of the time when mental health is being depicted in fiction, it centres so much around the person struggling with it. Which, of course, makes sense. It's important to show what people go through when they suffer from mental illnesses, and it helps others in similar situations know that they're not alone in dealing with it. But it isn't very often you see something from the perspective of a friend or a relative and what they go through when someone they care about is struggling. Solitaire is a book that's so important for this specific reason.
Here, you have Tori. A teenage girl who spends 50% of her time worried about her brother, Charlie, and the other 50% of her time trying to convince herself that she isn't worried about him. She puts so much pressure on herself to keep everyone's heads above water that she doesn't realise that she, herself, is starting to drown. Their parents don't know how to handle everything that's going on with their son, so they act like everything is fine, relying on Tori to be the problem-free "normal" one. That's a lot of pressure to put on your 16/17 year old daughter. Tori takes on the responsibility of keeping her family happy and together, which ends up having the opposite effect and drives them further away from each other. So now you have two siblings that are so near but not within reaching distance when they need each other the most.
Which leads us on to the themes of guilt within the book. This is something that is so well executed and hard-hitting and absolutely crucial.
Tori is someone who feels a lot of guilt and regret when it comes to what Charlie is going through. She feels partially responsible for everything that happened to him. It's not her fault in the slightest, but when someone close to you is hurting and struggling, and you notice but don't do anything because you don't know how, it takes its toll. A lot of the pressure that Tori's under comes from the crippling guilt that she's trying to hold in. It manifests itself into something entirely different. She suffers with anxiety, she has negative thoughts, she hyperfixates entirely on solving the Solitaire mystery so she has something to do while her family is barely holding it together. She spirals.
And what's super interesting about this is how Charlie has a similar reaction at the end when he eventually comes to terms with the fact that his sister isn't okay, either. He mentions how he noticed but didn't do anything, and he feels awful about it. The Spring siblings have a remarkable way of avoiding what's right in front of them because who in the world would want to admit that their brother or sister is the opposite of okay?
And to add to this, I think we really need to note the importance of Michael Holden within this entire situation as well.
Michael is there for Tori consistently. He shows up when she doesn't even realise she needs him, he comes back whenever she pushes him away, and it's almost as though he's her only form of stability within the chaos. And that's exactly what she needs. She doesn't know how to handle what she's feeling about her family so she's pushed everyone else away. She needs someone.
Because it's so easy to ignore the state of your own mental health when someone you love is going through hell. So now we have Michael, a character who essentially says, "I'm here. Let me worry and look after you, while you unwittingly take on the weight of the world." Of course, Michael has problems of his own but if he and Tori can share their burdens between the two of them, maybe the weight of all of it won't feel so heavy.
Alice Oseman created something so underrated and special with Solitaire. It tackles things that can be difficult to talk about but need talking about. It reminds you that it's okay to not be okay. You shouldn't feel bad about feeling bad. And just because someone you love is struggling, it doesn't mean that you're entirely responsible for them. It doesn't mean that you're not allowed to grieve and be upset about it. And it doesn't mean that you're not allowed to struggle through your own issues either. But it does mean that you can find your own support system and let them pull you out of the metaphorical and, I guess in this instance, literal fire that's burning around you.

Hellow, it's me again, can I request that the reader is like blue diamond from steven universe, her ability is really interesting on how she can make her grief a weapon that can spread to other's and emotionally & physically break them down, ofc there's also an ability that's the opposite of that which makes the person high on life or be in a euphoric state. In short she can project her emotions to other's.
I can imagine a scenario like:
Ever since the news of pink diamond (youngest out of the 4 diamonds) got shattered, reader fell into a deep depression to the point where whenever someone goes close to her by 5ft they would feel the grief and sorrow she felt. Reader would admit that pink was her favorite out of her siblings, their personalities might be the opposite on how pink is enthusiastic and bold while reader is calm and mellow. Fast forward on a few days after someone captured the god that had brutally shattered pink, the court then began session as all the gods have gathered to witness the first trial.
A few hours have passed and the reader hadn't spoken once but then the topic of 'how did they shatter pink' arrived, as they we're about to end the first trial reader then halted them saying to let them explain how they did it, as the god was explaining poorly on how they did it the reader then questioned what weapon did they used, the god froze for a minute before replying "a dagger..", the reader then stood up from her seat enraged slamming her hands to the table as it cracked from the impact "IT WAS A SWORD, HOW DARE YOU LIE." Reader said in distress as the whole court has been fully surrounded by a blue aura filled with sorrow and grief making most gods cry and fell to their knees.Yellow diamond then came and escorted reader out of the court to take a break from all that's happened releasing everyone from crying their soul out.
Now the million dollar question is how would the ROR god's react from readers strong outburst, especially the ones that doesn't show emotion much, cause i can really imagine ares just clenching his heart out while on his knees sobbing hard and zeus almost dying from choking. (P.S. i really love you're writing, it makes my hyperfixation on this anime go SKRRTT BRRRR, keep up the good work❤️)
Thank you for your kind words!
-Your outburst in the trial of Pink Diamond’s murder became known throughout all of Valhalla, on how your power, your sorrow, was able to affect the strongest of the gods.
-Zeus had barely managed to keep standing, gripping his chest over his heart as tears pooled from his eyes, harsh gasps escaping him as he stared at you in awe, he had no idea you were that powerful.
-Odin was the only one able to keep from shedding any tears, even though the sorrow in his heart, the sorrow that you felt, he could feel his own anguish in every inch of his body.
-Thor was brought to one knee, stunned by the wave of intense sadness. He had been watching this proceeding, as he too wanted to know what could shatter a diamond, but when you stood in rage and sorrow quickly spread through the room, he was in awe, he had never seen someone so powerful.
-Loki couldn’t bring himself to make a joke, nearly choking on his tears, gasping pants leaving him as his shoulders shook with harsh sobs. When he managed to look up at you, the only thing that he was able to do was cry even more, feeling your hurt.
-Ares collapsed instantly to his knees, holding his chest as tears pooled out, sobs ripping from his throat as he felt your hurt, your pain, the loss of your sister, the light of your life.
-Hermes had kneeled almost gracefully when hit with your emotions, the tears were quick to be stinging at his eyes, his eyes closing as he clutched at his suit over his heart, weepy softly for you, for your loss.
-Hades was another who was brought to his knees, tears nearly blinding him, but his eyes remained on you, on your own crying form. He looked around the room, seeing the others in the same shape and he had to admit your power was respectable.
-Poseidon would refuse to admit he had been crying, but he too was taken to his knees, trying to fight the tears that ran down his cheeks, but he couldn’t get them to stop. Your sorrow was so powerful, he could feel your ache in every inch of his body.
-Shiva was another who openly cried, as he was hugging his wives who were all sobbing, trying to console them while trying to handle his own tears. He couldn’t even think about the idea of losing any of his children, any of his family, he couldn’t fathom what you were feeling.
-Buddha’s lollipop fell from his mouth, shattering upon impact with the ground, but he didn’t care, tears blinding his vision as his hand was clutched to his chest, feeling the sorrow deep within him, he almost felt like vomiting.
-Beelzebub cried easily, letting himself sink to his knees, his head tilting back as he joined the other gods who were wailing in sorrow. Your own sorrow felt familiar, he felt similar pain when he killed his friends and when he killed Lilith, your sorrow allowed him to cry again.
-Many came to fear that power while at the same time, sympathizing with you, as your grief was something they wouldn’t be able to understand, not the way you’re feeling.
-Zeus himself was the first to approach you, weeks after the outburst, after you locked yourself away in your palace, with some blue roses for you and a shoulder to lean on if you were to accept it.
-You were calmer now, but still teary, as Zeus felt himself getting emotional, your powers affecting his emotions, but he allowed himself to be vulnerable to you, as you just lost your sister, who you basically raised as a child, and now she was gone, shattered, never to return to your waiting embrace.
-He patted your hand gently, offering kind words, “You never stop missing someone just because they’re gone, that shows that you truly do care for them- love them. The pain may fade, but it will always remain.”
-His words did help a bit, but they also made you cry which made him cry again.
-You just wanted to know how Pink was shattered, you wanted the truth, as you think if you knew the truth, then you could rest, but as the truth evaded you, your mind was unable to rest.

Hello, got a TOH question for you! I'm trying to write a scene from only-slightly-canon-divergent!Luz's POV, and to dismay finding I'm struggling with it. Any pro tips for writing her you can pass on to someone who didn't study at Luz University? 😅
aw, this is a sweet ask. i'm flattered to be considered a resident luz expert! and i LOVE an excuse to infodump. this got long i'm sorry i just love thinking about. my girl.
luz is usually pretty whimsical and optimistic (which is why her later self-destruction hits so hard), she believes in people and she believes in The Triumph Of Good Over Evil. she's weird and doesn't understand social norms but she cares So Much, About Everything, Ever. she believes that things will work themselves out like they do in stories, she sometimes steps on people's toes when she's trying to fix a situation, she loves an underdog story and it's constantly getting her into trouble.
i think the biggest three things for me when writing luz POV are these:
-
she is UNRELENTINGLY kind and trusting.
this is her biggest strength - she's constantly befriending her enemies through the sheer power of earnestness. and this is how she makes and keeps friends like willow, gus, and eda.
this is also one of her biggest weaknesses - she gave hunter back his staff in hunting palismen when she Really Should Not Have, she didn't pick up on philip's Bad Vibes, etc.
she truly honest-to-god believes the best in everyone and is surprised and hurt whenever they disappoint her.
-
2. she has NO impulse control and CRIPPLINGLY hyperactive ADHD.
luz is all over the place, constantly. her thoughts and hyperfixations go a mile a minute. she can devour a book in a day and learn a conlang in a week, but she can't sit still and she has the type of ADHD that makes traditional classroom learning borderline-impossible.
outside of school, you see this constantly in the decisions she makes, or rather the decisions she Doesn't make. luz always blurts out exactly what she's thinking, when she's thinking it. she always thinks that her first solution to a problem is the best one & rarely plans beyond that. she's not an analytical strategist. in fact she's frequently fucking up everybody else's plans by..... just. being luz.
the fact that luz always says and does whatever she's thinking is, again, one of her greatest strengths: she is SO earnest and genuine, and it makes it easy for people to believe in her. she loves SO openly and is so lovable in turn.
it's also one of her greatest weaknesses because. oh my god, girl. challenging boscha to a witch's duel on willow's behalf. angrily shouting straight-up heresy about belos in public in hollow mind. all the shit that got her into trouble in the human realm before she ran away. u know
-
3. she is Desperately Afraid of hurting people.
i'd say she's afraid of being a Bad Person (TM), but i do think her fear is more specific. in WAD, her nightmare isn't exactly about having committed atrocities herself -- she doesn't even believe she could have! she knows she didn't create the statue graveyard, she immediately tells amity "i don't know what's going on, but i wouldn't have done this."
all of her fears are related to things her friends & family went through after meeting her.... she's terrified that she's going to hurt the people she loves, no matter how much she tries not to. she's terrified that her presence in the world is harmful by itself.
same with her rant in the classroom in TTT. when she says "it would be better if he [i] never existed," she even says (paraphrasing) "who cares about the broader impacts or the greater good. who cares if he was a hero or wanted to do the right thing. it doesn't matter!!! what matters is that he ruined everything anyway!!!!"
her anxiety with papa titan reflects this, too. "doesn't that make us just like belos??" she's figuring out how to navigate the world and complex morality and she's terrified of getting it Wrong. she already feels like she's done everything wrong & it's completely shaken her sense of self. she doesn't trust herself not to hurt people or to work for evil because she doesn't have a clear understanding of what separates her ideology from belos's.
this third point often isn't relevant in fluffy/lighthearted fic because luz's optimism, joy, and simple zest for life are Definitely dominant in her character. but it is VERY relevant when doing character studies or angstier writing exploring her headspace in situations where she feels guilty or afraid.
-
everything else is set dressing. she's quirky and weird, she's bouncy and stimmy, she loves bats and rats and snakes and bugs and creepy crawlies, she loves gross shit, she loves shipping and romance and sweeping high fantasy, she gets Deeply invested in every random plan she ever conceives, and she is Astonishingly easy to love because of how easily she loves.
you don't have to keep every single detail of this in mind when writing her!! this was just a nice excuse to gush about my girl who i love so so so so so fucking much. luz love of my life daughter of my heart FOREVER.

I only have the courage to ask this because it is a good 1:30AM as I am writing this and the sleep deprivation is hitting me hard so I am sorry that you have to suffer through my ramble
Anywho, I think we should encourage more people to make COD OCs because it is so fun to see how people would interpret how their OC would react with the in game characters. I feel like most people do not one to do it due to the stigma associated with it and self inserts but OCs can be so fun
For example, I want to know more about Stray and learn everything I can but that may just be my Autism and my hyperfixation on talking about OCs I find interesting. I remember reading the post you had done for her after you reblogged it and it made me want to redo the biographies I had done for my two major COD OCs as I just loved it
We also need more trends for OCs. When I get round to posting about mine I want to try and make a trend where other creators can post ideas about skins their OC or self insert would have if they were in multiplayer since I myself love thinking of outfit designs as they can show so much of the OC's personality. Or a trend where we get to see OC voice lines if they were in the games and voice lines of them talking to other characters as I love when OCs have beef with the in game characters as it is just so fun
Since imagine if Stray and König had a matching skin set similar to how König and Horangi have a matching skin set
I just wanted to bring it up to you because you are one of the only few creators I follow that have a COD OC and I thought you may like a ramble. As you can probably tell I have a love for learning and talking about OCs, mine and others
Also for the ask game I want to know the answer to question 11 as I love hearing about OCs and their weapons especially if they customise their weapons
Have a good night wherever you are and please get some rest and I apologise about this ramble
I was literally laying in bed watching Naked and Afraid but this got me so excited that I got back on my PC to answer BHJEHBKEFKJHB
Yes yes!! I'd absolutely love to see more people creating their COD ocs, I have quite a lot of fun creating mine. OCs are definitely a lot of fun, you're basically creating a character from scratch AND you get the choice to make them look and act the way you want, as well as giving them any backgrounds and relationships you could possibly want!!
You can ask me anything about Stray!! I absolutely adore talking about my OCs, that also includes K-9, though I haven't made an official Military Personnel Profile for her yet!
AHHH yesyes!! Especially the skins would be interesting to see since the military has quite a lot of regulations, but I adore seeing characters in more casual clothes and what they'd dress like normally, little details such as masks and even weapon attachments could give them so much charisma.
Funny thing about the voice lines thing!! I was actually planning on making that for Stray since I have a professional microphone, but I got kinda lazy on creating voice lines to do the VA work HBJEFBHJ
Ahhh absolutely!! Even if it's something small, she definitely enjoys matching with König, so I can imagine her wearing a similar mask or maybe even a mask created by him because at the end of the day, they're spec ops and they need to maintain their privacy.
Question 11!!
What is your OC's weapon of choice? Have they ever actually used it? As it is used by both the German and British military, her weapon of choice is the AWM sniper, as it has a pretty precise and effective firing range. Although with the 141 she doesn't get the chance to be a sniper much and has become more hands-on, she used to work with the AWM quite a lot back in the German military and after being recruited as a KorTac member.
You too!! Don't apologize, I absolutely adore talking about my OCs and as someone who's also autistic, this itched a special part of my brain<333

part two for yandere rhaenyra x dragonseed. rhaenyra has won the war and is earning back readers trust. It can be headcanons or whatever better fits what you are writing out.
hey i am telling you right now that i'm probably gonna hyperfixate on dragonseed reader so hard, i love her
warnings: optional smut pronouns: ambiguous, (female anatomy in smut)
okay now i think that the second she wins, she'll be all smiles and relief, no one is taking you away from her now but when she turns and sees the look on your face it's like she's been stabbed in the heart with her guards hands already on your arms, ready to haul you away to your chambers again
she doesn't understand, you are no prisoner so she demands them to unhand you unless they feel like losing their limbs
they are visibly and obviously confused but obey her with worried expressions
everyone is silent until she starts toward you, ignoring how your expression twitches in discomfort as her hands cup both your cheeks
the realisation hasn't hit her yet as she lowers her grip to instead take your hand and guide your almost unwilling form to the throne
you flinch when she tugs you to stand beside her as she sits the throne
her grasp loosens and quick as a heartbeat you tug your hand and press it to your chest as though she burnt you
her once-strong expression trembles as her eyes flicker over your pained, weak one
she's horrified
"Leave us." She calls and although everyone hesitates, ready to celebrate her victory once more, her own delight has fallen flat
is this not what you had both been fighting for? what you had almost died for?
she stands from the throne like it has betrayed her and she reaches to hold you but you step away from her
"What's wrong?" She eventually asks, looking into your bright eyes and holding herself back as much as she can "I thought this was what we wanted?" To that you scoff, your pride not lost during your imprisonment
"There is no 'we', Rhaenyra, there is only you." She's taken aback by this so much that it makes you laugh bitterly. "I have been nothing but a corpse the last few moons and I know that it is your doing, do you think I did not hear Cannibal's cries? I thought I would be safe with you but I am nothing but your captive." Your words sting and shoot venom into her but she can't respond at first.
"I was protecting you." She whispered.
"Then you should have been protecting me from yourself." With that you sprint outside before she can defend herself
she didn't go after you, she knew that her guards would stop you if you–oh.
and that's when it hit and the regret began to creep in
she wasn't your lover, she was your warden now
she walked from the room now tainted; she may have won her war but now a battle was brewing
she had been neglecting you and locked in a room like a prized toy, she realised and swallowed her inner turmoil
things needed to change and she was going to personally ensure that they would
she leaned into Ser Erryk's ear and ordered him to guard you anywhere you went but to not stop you
you weren't her prisoner anymore, if anything you were going to be her future Queen consort
she remembers how trapped she felt growing up and even then she was allowed roam around the castle and find secret passages, you had none of that
so she does the best she can, however you are always accompanied for your own safety of course
in fact she even encourages you to visit the surrounding cities and gardens
not all at once, she's still nervous and uncomfortable being without you but slowly she lessens her fears
only after this does she approach you
it's not in your chambers, even if they aren't the same ones as the ones you were trapped in, it still feels wrong and sickening for her to enter now
"I'm sorry" She tells you while you are breaking fast. she wants to be as candid as possible, to prove that she will no longer lie to you "It was not my intention to trap you. I wanted you to be safe" she has lost so much, she reasons, she didn't want to lose you too
in my mind you were hurt sometime after her eldest son Jacaerys' death so it becomes clear to you now just how paranoid she must have been. "I have heard of your visits to The Cannibal, how was your reunition?" And so the first steps of repairing your relationship have been made as she finally relaxes in her chair and listens to you speak
soon you find her personally delivering fresh flowers and any past friends/family members that have survived the war but she also makes a point of opening windows
after you had gone through such crippling isolation, she will allow you as many ladies-maids or friends to accompany at anytime of the day
one day she wakes up in the middle of the night feeling empty
she knows you will likely leave her soon, wait until her guard was down
but while she tosses and turns restlessly, a knock sounds at her door and she jumps before calling them in
what is the cause of this? were there still members of her court rallying for the Greens? Had there been an incident? If there had then where were you? Were you safe? Were you–oh.
you stood behind the door, head just peaking through with tears in your eyes
she watched as you stepped into the room and Rhaenyra's heart stops
"are you alright?" she asks as quiet as a mouse, she finally breathes when you nod
you tell her you can't sleep, after so long on your own you are riddled with nightmares of being locked up again, that the Greens had won and no one was alive who remembered you
her heart pangs and her face shows it, she rips the duvet away from her and embraces you, soothing strokes to your hair and hushing your cries while you relive it
a sharp realisation hits her and her throat clears in relief
she knows what to do now
there are other ways to protect you. you slip into her bed with her encouragement and calm when her once-caging, now gentle, arms encircle you and keep your warm body close to her chest
you are both finally free
NSFW (female anatomy)
i wanna say that after this, she will fixate solely on your pleasure during sex for a long time and more regularly
your time together will be a lot more soft and gentle now with lingering touches and long foreplay
most of all she becomes the biggest consent queen, asking you 24/7 what you want and when you want it
she wants what you want and if that means her face between your thighs, kissing up your slit all night long then she is happy to comply
this isn't to say that she ignores her own pleasure, her fingers slip between the both of you out of instinct now
she loves eating you out, being able to make you cum with just her tongue throws a certain warmth through her
she likes tenderly rolling your nipple back and forth and kissing along your neck
her favourite place to take you is on her bed
she is also loud and there is nothing she loves more than your sounds of pleasure, she wants
she takes on a more dominant role, it's almost like she's proving everyway she can take care of you, rolling you on your back against the mattress and slithering up your body with perfectly curling fingers
she likes to call you endearments in and outside of sex especially now; her sweet girl, her little darling
she makes it her mission to spoil you in affection and reassurances in and outside of bed
with your time apart, she has also grown clingy but there's something sort of nice about it...something comforting in her warm hold

!!! I haven’t done a matchup in forever !!! Hope I did it right !!!
My pronouns are she/they and I am demiromantic? I cut feelings/attachment when I get really upset at people. I don’t mind any characters really! It’s hard to describe my personality but I am bubbly, blunt, sensitive but also real, I have ADHD (the kind I have used to be called ADD) if that helps with personality as well.
Besides ADHD I have epilepsy and my vision is not the best in the slightest :,) I also have a bit of hearing issues. My fashion is all over the place but: bright colors (mainly pink) I wear bootcut/bell bottoms a lot, I love t-shirts (specifically old-school characters) and stripes. I crochet!! Like a lot!! Mainly small blankets or plushies but I’ve made 2 failed sweaters! I also do cozy gaming and drawing!
How I show love is gift giving, words of affirmation, and quality time! I love to talk and talk and talk so that’s what I count as quality time just having someone listen or hear me. Music is just about as random as clothes! If a song is good then I like it! But mainly pop, RnB (80s - now), musicals, and classical music! I wouldn’t say I have a dark sense of humor but I am able to find a joke in everything since that’s my coping mechanism though jokes are always a hit or miss depending on the mood.
I finally landed on a butterfly! Because they’re pretty, love daytime activities, and bad vision. Butterflies are beautiful and fragile and I’ve been described as that since I am very short and been called pretty a lot 😅
Your Match Up Is. . .
Vaggie!
Tumblr media
You and Vaggie met soon after she met Charlie. With a personality like yours, you were already helping the princess start renovations on the Hotel.
Meeting her when she was in such a fragile state was a huge help for her.
You and Charlie helped her to feel safe and welcome in this place she’d never been.
It would be years before you found out that she was an angel and not a sinner like yourself but we’ll get to that in due time.
Vaggie was absolutely enthralled by your personality from the beginning.
She adored how you could go from optimistic to serious when the moment called for it. It was that bluntness mixed with the positivity that drew her in.
Of course, your beauty even in your demonic form helped with that.
Your wings would definitely draw her in.
From the beginning, she is very accommodating to you.
She has no problems repeating things if you didn’t hear it.
You bet that she is researching triggers of epilepsy and going through the Pride Ring to specifically find locations that have strobing/flashing lights and writing them down so you can avoid them.
She will also absolutely take note of parts of your life your ADHD effects.
If you have a favorite spoon, it is your spoon now. No one else uses that spoon. She is prepared to fight someone over that spoon.
It took a while for the two of you to finally get together. Mainly because Vaggie would go to confess and then freeze up.
Charlie standing in the background giving her a big smile and thumbs up did not help as much as the princess thought it did. She just didn’t have the heart to tell her that.
It wasn’t until you took initiative and confessed that anything happened between the two of you.
Vaggie absolutely froze and just stared at you for a moment, mouth open in shock.
Just when you began to think you’d read the signals wrong that she said she’d love to go out with you.
If you’ve watched The Owl House, there was definitely a moment afterwards that resembled when Luz asked out Amity and they awkwardly held hands after.
She will spend all day listening to you ramble and actively logs informations away about your hyperfixations.
She sees yarn she things you’ll like? She’s buying it.
You’re almost out of stuffing? Not anymore.
She has an entire bookshelf dedicated to showcasing all the plushes you’ve made her.
If you’re ever away for an extended period of time, prepare to come back to her asleep surrounded by them.
Vaggie is a fan of morning cuddles, you cannot convince me otherwise!
Before you wake up, she will trace the patterns in your wings.
If your wings give you any problems, somehow she just magically knows how to fix it. . . Must have researched it. Obviously there’s no other reason she’d know that, right?
You don’t even have to worry about clothing having holes for your wings because if you don’t alter it, she will.
Also, queen of compliments. She will compliment you all the time.
Be prepared for a lot of: “You look so pretty today, babe.” “Ooh, what’s this song? I like the rhythm.” “Your new plush is looking good so far.” “I love that color combo.” Normally accompanied by hands on the shoulder and a kiss to the temple.
She loves watching you crochet, draw, or game. She finds it calming.
Occasionally, she will try to join you.
She might not be good at it but she tries and it’s adorable to watch her succeed and fail. She makes an earnest effort both ways.
Because Vaggie is such a calm, attentive person, you probably don’t have many fights that blow up.
Even if you do, she knows to just give you space to work things out.
She’s not going to go away but she will let you breathe. She’s not a smotherer.
That’s why she doesn’t try to hover when you start avoiding her after it gets out she’s an angel.
After a couple days, she doesn’t corner you exactly but she does catch you alone.
She doesn’t say anything. She doesn’t force a conversation. She just lets you stew with your feelings until you either leave (in which case, she will finally intervene and stop you) or blow up at her.
Once you both calm down, you have a long conversation about trust and secrets.
She’s able to relax when she finally sees another plush be added to her collection.

Mandela Catalogue HCs
heheh hyperfixation go brrrrr
Please don't yell at me if these suck im sensitive 🥺 /hj
Mark:
Would have been the best big brother to Sarah I stg
Not afraid to wear a tiara and feather boa and have a tea party with her
This towering young man sat on a dinky little plastic chair sipping imaginary tea, pinky out and all
Aaagghhhhhhh i love him
Definitely one of those "super talented, high iq, gifted kids" before the burnout hit him
Every Christmas, Easter, and birthday he'd ask his parents for a dog. He never got one :(
Not exactly a Disney adult, just a big fan of animated movies in general.
I think his favorites would be The Iron Giant, Monsters Inc, and Lilo and Stitch
Honorable mentions to The Fox and The Hound and Oliver and Company but they make him cry
Mark Heathcliff best boy 1,000,000/10
Cesar:
Cesar fans, you have my whole heart fr
You really took nothing and ran with it I can't not respect that
I see him as a total mama's boy. As far as I know, there's no mention of his dad anywhere so I imagine it's just him and his mom.
As a little boy he was like "I'm gonna be the man of the house now!" and he stuck to it like glue
Taking the trash out, doing the dishes, mowing the lawn because "Mom, you deserve to get off your feet, you're working too hard"
I think him being a mama's boy and having so much respect for her would translate into huge respect for women in general
I like the idea of him painting his nails ❤
His room is like a walk-in freezer you can literally see his breath when he sleeps
Used to skateboard but eventually "grew out of it" (he actually broke his wrist and is too scared to do it again)
Adam:
This toxic little fuck i love him
The most "dont talk to me until I've had my coffee" person you'll ever meet.
Not having consistent access to coffee must have been miserable for him when he was on the run. Doubly miserable for poor Jonah having to put up with a grouchy Adam for who even knows how long
You remember that tiktok trend from a few years ago like "I look really intimidating until I smile"? ADAM ADAM ADAM ADAM ADAM!!!
He's such an angsty little shit with the most severe case of resting bitch face disease but on the rare occasion he actually smiles??? Human sunshine
Definitely the type to look down when he smiles to try and hide it
Wouldn't be caught DEAD singing out loud, but will absolutely murmur songs to himself under his breath.
Just imagining him folding laundry or cooking and singing whatever song is stuck in his head to himself I LOVE THIS MAN
He likes rock music in general but I feel like he's really into songs like Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. Yknow those really mopey mid 2000s ballads?
Shattered by OAR, Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, stuff like that
Jonah:
Rip jonah you would've loved tiktok
Was a theater kid but he got kicked out of class. Dude was just too hyper to follow directions
What can he say? He just stole the spotlight 🤪 (he's crying inside)
Walks into every room twirling his car keys around his finger like a dork
Can not be trusted to stand still, it's best to just make him wear one of those backpack leashes for everyone's safety
A gamer but not in a toxic way. He's actually terrible at games but he thinks it's fun to dick around and goof off in them.
You knows those "girlfriend who bites" memes? That's him. He's the girlfriend who bites.
Thatcher:
You've heard of wine moms, you've heard of wine aunts, well get ready for wine dad
I feel like he paints? He strikes me as very artsy
Loves plants but can't keep them alive for shit. It's not even that he forgets to water them, he follows all the instructions, the plants just hate him
Can't sleep without a TV on, or at least some sort of white noise or music playing.
Total garbage at gift giving lmao but he's trying his best
"I got you this card. Happy birthday."
"Thatcher, this says 'My condolences'"
"I know"

15, 16, & 24 for the ask game ♡
Hi, Chloe! Thanks for the asks! :D
15. What’s your favorite season? 
I really like winter! The season is so beautiful and it's cold and everyone gets bundled up??? It's so nice! Love it! I'm also partial to how autumn slowly transitions into winter and how winter transitions into spring. Maybe it's because I haven't seen snow in years, but the icy frigidity is comforting.
16. Want any tattoos? What of? 
I know I talk a big game about phlebotomy, but I'm really allergic to pain. I don't like it. I'm fine with vaccines and blood draws, but only because it's necessary. Tattoos are pretty, but I don't think I would enjoy the process on myself personally. Plus, I would put so much time and effort in finding a tattoo that holds a lot of meaning to me, but isn't seen as tacky to others, that I'll eventually chicken out and not do it anyway.
Okay, the next one is kinda personal, so I'm putting it under a readmore:
24. When was the last time you cried? Why? 
At work.
Okay, full context and the story, here we go:
So, the last time was literally a week or so ago, on a Thursday. I mentioned before that I work with autistic children, but I don't think I mentioned that I don't really have a lot of experience with working with small kids. Yes, I do have a psychology degree, but I didn't think the company that hired me would take me on because I don't really have that much experience to back me up.
Anyway, I'm a behavior technician, which means that my job is to teach kids how to be more independent through discrete trial or incidental teaching. (It's a lot of technical jargon, but think of me as a teacher, but I allow my kids to roam and run free while I incorporate lessons into what they do).
So, on this particular Thursday, I'm with an afternoon session with one of my kids. He's really smart and he's adorable! He can write letters and even words! He's mostly nonverbal, but he'll let you know what he wants by gesturing and using what little vocabulary he has. (He also has a hyperfixation on farms/farm animals... you'll see how that pertains the story later).
That day, I was still getting supervision on my sessions, but sometimes, my boss had to leave to supervise others or to do some paperwork. When he did supervise me, he was always quick to provide feedback or praise, but the feedback hits extra hard because I'm still learning. I know he means well, but I can't deny that I felt a little disheartened, especially when I know that the other behavior techs on my team are so great with our kids.
In my session with this particular kid, we're at a table and he's trying to play with a toy barn. The doors had been taken off (don't ask me why, I think some other kids were rowdy with it) and he was trying to put them back on. He was getting frustrated and I asked him, "Hey, friend, do you need help? I can put them back on for you." And he kinda shoves the doors into my hands and I try to put the barn doors back on.
Thing was: the barn doors weren't cooperating. I mean, the doors were eventually fixed, but I must not have worked fast enough because ten seconds later (doors were still not on the little barn), my kid starts howling.
A note about me: I get really uncomfortable when other people cry. It's not like I dislike the crying, but because I don't know what to do... and I also do get the urge to cry. (It's gotten better over the years, but when I was a little kid, if someone started crying, I would usually start crying too).
I tried telling my kid, "Hey, friend! It's almost fixed! We're gonna have a great time with the farm, right?" And like encouraging him to be patient with a lower tone of voice, but it wasn't working.
There happened to be another behavior tech in the room (not on my team) with her own kid and she tried to help me, but my kid started going ballistic.
He was bawling, practically screaming, and I think there were some other things on the table like books and stuffed animals???? that he swiped them off the table and onto the ground.
Eventually, the other behavior tech left because her kid was probably getting overstimulated by the meltdown and I also fell silent. I just...
I didn't know what to do.
He wasn't responding to my attempts to soothe him, he wasn't responding my attempts to give him markers or toys.
Eventually, my boss came back and he took charge.
Chloe.
This man.
He is so good with kids.
He started with telling the kid that his feelings were valid, that it was all right to cry.
The kid started to calm down, but was still noticeably agitated.
So, noticing that, my boss started singing Old Macdonald and that's when the kid finally calmed down, relaxed, and went back to playing with some toys.
The entire exchange happened in like five minutes and I was stunned.
This man, he just??? Calmed down the kid in the most soothing way possible? Creatively too?
And then, he starts telling me that sometimes we have to adapt to our kids needs, that we have to think things from our perspective. He also told me about deescalation strategies and how to improve in the future.
And it was all great advice!
But!
Here's the thing:
My kid had been having a meltdown for like ten to fifteen minutes before my boss came in and I'm in near tears.
I'm. In. Near. Tears.
Now was not a great time to give me a lesson.
And that's on me. I should have been open and honest that maybe I needed a break, needed some space, all that jazz.
But like, I kept quiet about it, responded to his questions and told him that I understood, but the entire time, I was close to breaking.
(So either I'm really good at concealing how I'm feeling, my boss didn't notice, or my boss did notice and decided not to say anything. Whatever the three... it's not good).
Eventually, my kid wanted to leave for another room and my boss had to go supervise someone else.
So:
I'm in another room, my kid is currently drawing on another table, I'm still reeling from feeling useless and pathetic, and then! Another player arrives.
This lady who comes in told me that she's going to supervise me and give me some more tips since my boss needs to handle another behavior tech. The lady is the clinical director, so she knows a lot about kids and psychology in general.
So, she goes on about different strategies to help me run trials with my kids and how to deal with challenging behaviors.
On any other day, this would be a great learning experience! I like learning ways to improve my methods on delivering treatment!
But! Not today. Not right now when I'm still trying to process my feelings and the fact that my kid still isn't responding/attending/allowing me to build rapport with him.
I try my best to deliver trials with the lady's advice, but he continues ignoring me for the rest of the session.
Chloe.
I was in session with that kid for two hours. The first forty five minutes were kinda fine, the next fifteen was the meltdown, and that final hour was spent in near tears trying to keep everything together and promising myself that I would cry at home.
Eventually, I had to transition my kid to another behavior tech (he was my final session and I could go home... if it weren't for the fact that I was scheduled for like a final meeting where my boss could go over scheduling, my treatment delivery, etc.)
So, I'm still in the middle of not trying to cry when my boss goes, "How is everything?"
And Chloe:
That's when I was started to lose it:
"Not well."
And that's such a short thing to say, right? But I must have said it loud enough for him to hear because my voice was cracking and I was hiding my face so he doesn't see (I'm a firm believer in eye contact and he had been supervising me a while to know that, I think) and he goes:
"Take a break."
And I just run.
Tears are literally escaping my eyes, I'm rushing out of there and into a bathroom and that's when I start literally crying.
Like,
Literally wailing and trying to stifle everything.
For ten long minutes, I was in that bathroom trying to come up with a good reason to go outside and face my boss, because??? I didn't want to be caught dead crying in front of my boss! Who does?
Eventually, I began balling up wads of tissues and drowning them water so I can place them on my eyes. (It helps with redness so it doesn't look like I'm crying). I also, on the off chance that I began crying again, grabbed some more tissues from a nearby toilet paper roll.
And I headed back inside.
And that's when I saw my boss and the clinical director standing together talking.
My anxiety has gotten better over the years, but in that instant, all my worst fears were coming to pass. Were they discussing how badly I handled my final session that day? Were they criticizing me? Were they letting me go? Was I not good enough for them?
When they gestured for me to come meet them, they were smiling and looking supportive, but like??? At that moment, I felt myself breaking even more.
When I approached, the clinical director was like, "Hey, how're you doing?" And her voice was really soft and soothing and I really wanted to believe that she meant well.
And I kinda wanted to play off that I was fine and doing okay because I kinda just waved my balled up fist filled with toilet paper tissues, "Oh, yeah! I'm fine! I even got extra tissues just in case!"
Which.
I don't know.
Is not a normal thing to say?
And I think that's when they understood that I was not. Okay.
Because that's when the clinical director was going to say something, but--
I teared up and started sobbing again.
Full on crying.
Thank goodness kids are loud and behavior techs learn to mind their own business except for when it comes to their own kids hahaha~!
As soon as I began crying, I hid my face in my hands and I felt the lady come and give me a hug.
Cue me crying even harder because I expected the worst, and the worst was technically happening, but the clinical director??? Was so soft??? And warm??? And why is she hugging me???
And I hear them talking to each other and I’m still kind of not in the moment except for trying to keep it together even though I’ve long since lost it and that’s when I hear, “Let’s go into another room, okay?”
And they begin ushering me into a nearby conference room.
(I don’t think anyone was paying attention, but it was still humiliating rushing somewhere unknown while I’ve got my fists bawled up against my eyeballs).
Anyway, I'm apologizing for... I don't know... everything? Like I'm apologizing for crying, for not being good enough, for taking up their time because they shouldn't have to baby me.
And you know what? They didn't baby me at all.
Instead, they really talked to me as a person. They told me that I was doing great, that I was still learning and it was expected that I would make mistakes. They also told me that the clinical director should have been debriefed better because my boss thought that the both of us could handle it and that the situation hadn't impacted me as badly as it really did. In all honesty, it's kinda funny. It was because of miscommunication and misunderstanding, which is ironic because I'm pretty sure everyone in the room majored in psychology at one point lol
Anyway, my head is kinda ducked underneath the table because, again, I'm still crying and I'm not pretty to look at when full on crying. The both of them agree that they'll meet me again tomorrow (it's close to the end of my shift, so I was going to leave) and that they were going to talk about how they were going to make it so that I would be more comfortable in this environment, how to lessen the burden of transition, and what else they could do to help me.
The clinical director had to leave because she had to attend to other matters, but my boss held me back for a couple more minutes.
(Okay, that's more of a hyperbole).
He told me that I could stay in the privacy of the meeting room as long as I wanted so that I could gather myself and calm down.
He told me that I was doing really well... but that's not the only thing he told.
He told me to have compassion for myself, that I'm at where I need to be, and that if he wanted to fire me or found fault in my work/attitude, we would be having a wildly different conversation.
Yesterday, I told you that what happened made me into a better person. I think that was an exaggeration. I'm not a better person.
Yet.
I don't know, the words he told me and how he told it, with so much compassion and empathy. He was calm and he didn't talk me down. He let me cry and ask him questions.
I aspire to be as empathetic, to always see the humanity in others. I want to be the person others can look to when it comes to trust and opening up their vulnerabilities.
He also told me that it took years of working with kids and I had just started. Of course I wasn't going to be the best at it, there is a learning curve and I was doing my best. And that's a good thing.
Afterwards, I finally left and went home.
I kinda cried a little before work started the next day, but I think I got better and began working towards trying to embody not only an improved behavior technician, but also a better person.
So yeah.
tldr; A patient under my care had a meltdown, I had a meltdown, and my boss and another boss saw it and talked me through it.
Thank you so much for the questions, Chloe! I know this took longer than it should have, but the experience hit me really hard. I hadn't cried that hard since my meltdown back in June so yeah.
I hope you have a wonderful night and that your grandmother had an even better birthday! :D

Because I am insane and currently hyperfixating hard on Cedric from Sofia the First, I tweaked some of the lyrics of this song by YouTuber JonTron, 'Love Is Like Drugs' to fit Cedric and Wormwood.
(I put the video to the real song at the end of the post for ya'll get a better idea of it, and I recommend watching with the captions on; it's catchy as hell, and I can just see Cedric singing it to the parodied lyrics)
NOTE: When Cedric indirectly references Sofia in the fourth set of lyrics, he's talking about her as a pawn in his evil schemes, and how getting her amulet is the driving force in his obsession to take over Enchancia. (NOT CEDFIA)
*Cedric has come up with some new plan to steal Sofia's amulet*
Sofia: See you tomorrow, Mr. Cedric! *happily leaves his workshop*
Cedric: Until tomorrow, Princess!
Wormwood: Excellent! Just don't blow it this time.
Cedric: *distractedly smiling after Sofia, thinking of what a dear, sweet girl she is* No promises, Wormy.
Wormwood: *suspiciously* Don't get soft now...
Cedric: *snapping out of it* Soft? Me? Ridiculous! I'll have you know I am wholly devoted to my cause of getting that amulet and seizing the throne! It's all that consumes me, night and day! You might even say it's an addiction...
Being evil is like being on drugs
Without the potential brain damage
Cackling's like crack rocks you don't have to smoke
With no life-ruining baggage,
No life-ruining baggage
And when I plot
(When he plots)
Oooh, when I plot
(Aaaaaa)
I can feel it get me high, I can feel that dopamine rush
And when I scheme
(When he schemes)
Oooh, when I scheme
(Aaaaaa)
It satisfies my addiction
Without making me pass out in a pool of my piss
Being evil is like going flat broke
And getting kicked out of college
And she's like the dealer who's trying to collect
And get all the payment she's promised,
Get all the payment she's promised
And when I laugh
(When he laughs)
Oooh, when I laugh
(Muahahahaaa)
I can feel that chemical reaction make me weak
And when I gloat
(When he gloats)
Oooh, when I gloat
(Aaaaaa)
It's the substance abuse that gets me all the delight
Without making me start a naked bar fight
And when I lose, I need another fix
So desperate...
I can only be myself with another hit
Didn't know the side effects would be so bad
Gonna end up in rehab
That means my lair when I'm drowning in a pile of Cheeto bags,
CHEETO BAGS!
Being evil is like being on drugs
Without the potential of dying
Speeches are pills you don't have to buy
Unless you're that type of client,
Unless you're that type of client
And when I plot
(When he plots)
Oooh, when I plot
(Aaaaaa)
I can feel it get me high,
But I still can't get enough
And when I scheme
(When he schemes)
Oooh, when I scheme
(Aaaaaa)
It's at least as good as a dank-ass joint
Without making me rob a mom at wandpoint
Being evil is like being on drugs!
(540) Love Is Like Drugs - ft. Schmoyoho (Short Version) - YouTube

hey! i’m an INFP bisexual transman here for a matchup:) i can be kind of awkward at first, but after a bit i love opening up and talking about my special interests and getting to know people; talking about music and media, showing them my art or writings, and just sharing a space. i like to make people laugh and am down to hit the club or just chill with a comfortable night in. i have my own share of trauma and anxieties that im trying to work through. i’d say i have a grunge aesthetic but im also definitely a nerd, too. just a dude who’s vibin’ and trying to get by. thanks for doing these matchups, they’re so fun!
Matchup
I pair you with…
Tumblr media
~ I’m glad you like these matchups!! They’re feeding my hyperfixation and I reallyyy missed writing!! Anyway!
~ Okay, I can see you and Ozzie being so compatible.
~ Firstly, he really appreciates art. The best person to be a proofreader, or see a finished art piece. He’s not only so appreciative, he’ll give specifics on what he likes. “This was super successful here,” is a common phrase he’ll use before going on to elaborate. Anyway, he doesn’t just say he likes something, he says what he likes and why in great detail.
~ Ozzie helps you navigate your traumas and anxieties healthily. He really puts work into understanding this part of you, removing all triggers as best he can, and he’s super open to listening to you vent.
~ You understand his energy. You’re seen going to clubs and public outings with him, while also domestic enough to appreciate simple dates at home, like making a nice dinner and starting a new tv series. Ozzie just digs that you’re able to understand both sides of him; his party side, and his domestic side.
~ This all makes me think you guys would make a great friends to lovers trope. You understand Ozzie, and he shows that he understands you.
I pair you with…
Tumblr media
~ I’m not sure why. But you know that one trope where’s there’s a dude whose special interest is their partner?? Cherri Bomb to you. I won’t elaborate on this, because I don’t know how, but I’m confident in this trope here. I’m not sure how but I am.
~ I feel like Cherri’s one of those people to be really into like having art in her apartment. You make anything? It’s on her fridge or wall. She loves everything you make.
~ Loves hearing about your special interests, and will get into them too so she understands you better. You mention a fandom? She’s googling ships while you talk. “Ohhh these ones look hot, who are these two?”
~ I feel like while she’s definitely a partier, I’ve said this before, she loves being all domestic and winding down at the end of the night. Cuddle pile with a blanket and pillow nest!!
~ Loves taking you out so she can show you off.
~ Definitely someone who appreciates music and media. Keeps up to date with popular things and her own niches. Cherri would love not only hearing you talk about your interests, but bring her own into play and be just super excited to talk about music. She’s someone who loves not only music and media, but appreciates the artists behind it, I bet she’s the type to have notifications set for news outlets that regularly cover updates on her favourites.
I pair you with…
Tumblr media
~ Introvert adopted by extrovert trope!!
~ Vortex loves awkward. Will listen to you talk about your hyper fixations and be genuinely invested. Will also hit you with questions to elaborate so he can really get an idea of what you’re putting out. Pleasantly surprised when you begin to open up.
~ Will take you to parties, outings with friends, etc. He’s more a casual boyfriend, less sweep you off your feet and more peaceful coexistence. Love language is definitely quality time.
~ Regarding traumas and anxieties, Vortex is the best person to help you practically forget about them. If he notices you’re having a bad day and need a pick me up, he effortlessly cheers you up so well it’s hard to even realize he’s doing it. Distracts you with all of your favourite things, drinks, snacks, movies or shows, you name it.
~ Vortex lets you choose when you’re ready to vent or need to share, but until then, he effortlessly ensures that you’re always happy. Despite his casual demeanour, he’s always someone who just takes to people really well, especially you.
Alternate pairing…

Halara's turn for one final hangout sesh. Hopefully they won't break my kneecaps for failure to pay my debt.
Tumblr media
Public space. This is good. It's hard to murder me in a public space. Then again, this is the same cafe where Fubuki drowned half of the clientele, and they still speak of her in glowing terms as the greatest barista that this place has ever known. So.
Tumblr media
Oh shit, that is what this conversation is about. Look, if you give me a few more days, I can arrange for travel out of town. And then it won't be a problem anymore! For me. Specifically.
Tumblr media
That's not true. I have a great plan. A fantastic plan, as a matter of fact. My plan is to hope the collapse of civilization happens soon and wipes out my debt so that I no longer have to repay it. Like most people struggling under late-stage capitalism!
My backup plan is to eventually die, causing all of my lenders to get screwed. *smug*
Tumblr media
Because this is an elaborate ruse to justify a social call. Halara doesn't have friends. They have debtors. And they don't hang out with debtors. They meet to discuss the debt with their debtors.
Tumblr media
Notice how they didn't answer the question? "Why are we meeting to discuss the debt in the cafe instead of the office?" was the question, but Halara explained the unbolded part which was never in question to begin with. They're waffling around the subject.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*nods sagely* Ah, of course. The Neo World Program.
Wait, no, what are you talking about? What kind of program is it? Like a social program? Magnifying glasses for tots?
Tumblr media
OH MY GOD I LOVE IT.
Of course. Of course this is about cats. What else would it be about besides cats? Cats are Halara's hyperfixation. I love it. I'm about it.
Tumblr media
I love this side of them. They shake people down for money so they can privately fund a feline rescue program. That's the best kind of awful.
Gentrification would hit different if the mafia was chasing you out of your home to build a wildlife refuge. Or an animal shelter. Or one of those puppy therapy places where you heal people's trauma by playing with cute baby animals.
Tumblr media
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Halara has put me into financial debt to fund their kitty dreams. And now, as a sincere gesture of our growing friendship, they've asked me to one day inherit their emotional debt to cats as a concept.
Tumblr media
Asking the important question here. You're not offering me something; You're requesting that I take on your burden.
Tumblr media
Okay but still. Does it, though? C'mon, Finance Them-slice. Meet me at the negotiating table here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's so hard to say "You are my friend and I value you" in too cool for this room language. Halara is attempting to have an intimate moment without compromising their hard-forged image and it is not going well.
Tumblr media
And now that this incredibly awkward moment is here, they flee back to the comforting shelter of our meeting ruse. ^_^ Sure, buddy-pal, I'll get on that once of these days.
Can you imagine how heartbroken Halara would be if Yuma did somehow manage to pay his debt? How would we ever hang out together if they didn't have this excuse they could make for it?
I did not like Halara when we first met. Matter of fact, I accused them of murder. Said a lot of unkind things about them in the process. But they've grown on me a lot as I've gotten to know them and see behind the veil.
Suffice it to say, it's not that I don't like Halara but rather that I don't like Halara's persona. There's a genuinely interesting person hiding beneath the theatricism of a callous, unfeeling capitalist. They pretend to be a much shittier person than they actually are. Not unlike Desuhiko, as a matter of fact.
Fubuki's still my bestie but Halara's become my favorite character. Assuming the Master Detectives don't get killed off in a bloodbath of a finale, Halara's the one I'd be most interested in seeing a "Where do they go from here?" sort of sequel for.
The fact that they're our team's #1 cop-smasher helps too. I could watch Halara take apart Peacekeepers all day.

Hello! I love your works, they're all so cool! I especially love your rc9gn ones because it's my current hyperfixation. Do you think you can make some (even your 3-sentences ones would make me really happy!)? I have a bunch of prompts!
Prompt 1: Viceroy trying to create a robot, but something went wrong (Bash/McFist/a robo-ape probably messed it up) and it caused an electric short-age to the whole town
Prompt 2: There's a thunderstorm at the end of class and everyone was advised to wait out the storm before they could get home, shenanigans ensues
Prompt 3: (contains human!Nomicon) the Nomicon thinks about all the good and bad things his current student has done
I have more, but I don't want to spam you with all of them, so here's all I'll give! It's fine if you can't do any of it, I'm just thankful for the work you've alr done!
Thanks so much, Anon! I'm sorry I'm getting to this so late, but I am delighted you like what I've written. I really appreciate you letting me know!
These prompts are best for ficlet prompts (specific scenarios always are), and unfortunately my ask box isn't open for that at the moment, but I'll turn them into three sentence prompts: blackout, stormbound, and human!Nomicon AU, reflections. I'm specifying what I'm boiling the prompts down to because I don't take specific scenarios for three sentence fic prompts anymore, so I ask for a word or two (along with the AU if it's an AU) for those, and this is how I'm going to list them in my three sentence fic list. (I'm still going to do your scenarios because I'm assuming you're new and don't know what I've been doing more recently, but this will give you an example of how a prompt can be boiled down.) You are welcome to still share any ideas you have, though! (It's always fun to see what people come up with.) I just won't necessarily turn them into ficlets.
Prompt 1 - Blackout
“Viceroy,” McFist growled in the sudden silence that seemed all the louder for the absence of any hum of machinery, “what did you do?”
Viceroy pinched the bridge of his nose—of course he’d get the blame for this when McFist, in all his enthusiasm, had been the one to activate the prototype before it was ready—but somehow summoned the patience to say, “It seems premature activation caused a power outage that, if the view out the window is any indication, is affecting the entire town; if you had waited—”
“The Ninja was right here,” snapped McFist, his words nearly—but not quite—covering up the sound of a pair of feet hitting the floor behind Viceroy and their owner no doubt dropped from above, “and if he’s going to show his face under my own roof, I’m going to send every WND we have after him!”
Prompt 2 - Stormbound
Randy didn’t think it would be too long before the rain let up enough for them to safely leave, but Howard—and clearly Heidi—had other ideas, since Howard had his phone out and was willingly watching Heidi’s Me-Cast, where she was saying, “Hey, N-villers, Heidi here with the DL on the downpour; the storm has us all stuck in school, so I propose a contest: first person to—hey!”
“First person to discover the real secrets of Norrisville,” continued Debbie, her face only partly in frame and the entire camera bouncing as she scrambled to keep the phone out of Heidi’s reach, “will win the prize. So how about it—who wants to unmask the Ninja with me?”
Prompt 3 - Reflections, Human!Nomicon AU
He would be lying if he called Randy his best student or his most skilled one, but Randy may well be the one who most embodied what it meant to be the Norrisville Ninja; he had a heart that wouldn’t fail him, and when he dealt with the likes of the Sorcerer and now the Sorceress, that was the most valuable of all.
Of course, he also had more luck than the last ten Ninjas combined, and at times like these, it was hard to accept (despite ample supporting evidence) that that luck was entirely natural and not the result of a magical artefact altering the luck of others and bending fortune to his own favour, no matter how well that would explain the current predicament.
“Yo, Nomi,” called Randy, since Randy had insisted on calling him that once he’d realized he wasn’t speaking with the one he called First Ninja, “now that you’re, like, a person and not a book, this is a perfect time to teach me how to do the Ninja Dragon Fist, so how ‘bout it?”
