Im expecting her to still be alive in some way #Esp so we can find out why she left penacony #and her connection to the family #my hope is for her to be out of place in the place that should perfectly fit her vibe #alternatively itd be rlly funny if she was like. evil. not evil evil but more like Hey Remember How The Harmony Is A Hivemind

theres something so odd about how team skull is characterized in the anime. like. in the games theyre a nuisance with a sad backstory to them and they take it out through rage, especially guzma. them teaming up with the aether foundation comes across as lusamine manipulating guzma tbh, like hes just a lackey to her

and then in the anime they water down how gross aether was by limiting the crimes to just faba being a dick instead of the entire foundation being complicit, and in return team skull has their backstory ignored for the most part and theyre perfectly willing to gang up on and hurt a six year old cause she told them not to be mean. like yes they were villains in the game but that just feels weird for them

#guzma in particular is. ouch #first off i hate that they went ‘’oh guzma doesn’t understand his goliopsods ability ha ha he just thinks its epic and nothing else’’ #when the subtle symbolism of him having a goliopsod considering his motive and backstory is SO good #and it matches his actions in the story too when he starts hiding in ultra space instead of staying with lusamine #cause despite being a big bad boss… hes still that scared weak little kid. #like hes one of the better written antagonists why did you do that to him #yeah i know they couldnt have gotten away with implying his dad beat him like in the games but its weird #how a show so focused on family doesnt seem to care abt guzma having a troubled past at all #idek if he makes a family with team skull cause i cant tell beyond him calling them brothers #it comes across more like he just finds them to be annoying lackeys at certain points #idk maybe ill change my mind during ash vs guzma but i dont like it so far #also why did kiawe’s parents send their 6 year old on a boat to another island unchaperoned #echoed voice #sm lb

ANSSYYYY MATEYYY i just listened to a new song,and I was wondering if ye could make it into something >:DD

"*I tried to get the waiter's attention by blinking in morse code*"

"Why are you blinking so much?"

"I got something in my eye"

"Here let me get it out"

"No thank you!"

I felt like it would've been perfect for a Yan date scenario B]]

-🦀

I know what song you're talking abt but I cannot make it into a yandere idea without thinking about human centipedes lmfao I don't think the world is ready for me to write abt a fricking human centipede x reader. Even I'm not ready for that hAHAHAHAHWHA–

Although ngl, this feels more like a Dazai or Fyodor thing from Bungou Stray Dogs. I can imagine them signaling someone while on a date with their darling in morse code, blinking phrases like "prepare the towel (chloroform)" or maybe something as simple as "get the ring (engagement ring)" to their accomplices so they'll either kidnap the reader or force them in an uncomfortable situation that'll make things harder to reject the yandere.

I can imagine this more with Dazai. That bastard would just smirk and go "No thank you! I'm perfectly fine, belladonna!".

At that point, you wish you didn't bother asking that question. His unblinking stare is much more unnerving.

#banger of a song #my fave is still Read Between the Lines tho #its not what's said– what's implied–read between the phcking lines– im being subtle delicate you massive stu–

What will S Tord do when he learns that R Tord slept with his Tom? Love the blog!❤️😘

cw: Slight suggestive talk (I just talk about safewords idk Im ace shut up ruskdnfe)

I really doubt STom would let it go that far, sure he might let RTord get a little bit spicy with him but he would DEFINITELY feel that something is off from there. His Tord is just as much of a perv as RTord is, but his brand of degeneracy has a respectful flavor to it, yknow?? The kind of degeneracy with a safeword.

RTord does not know their safeword, his husband always asks him if he remembers it whenever they start getting intimate, STom would ABSOLUTELY start clocking on that this man is NOT his husband.

Though, even so, just the fact that he got far enough would probably lead STord to initiate a smack down and boy howdy, RTord is in the body of an ailing old man right now and STord is NOT afraid to exacerbate his disabilities.

He will ABSOLUTELY throw down with a crippled man and right now?? He’s a decade younger and his bones dont hurt LETS GO WEABOO BITCH

#asks #blueengineercherryblossom #regimen ao3 #ew stay au #The Conference Table #also TY hahaha sorry its sorta dead on my content rn #as I am battling the climate of a country not my own #Also you don’t date someone for years and not know all the subtle facets that makes them THEM #Like my ex was somebody I dated for maybe a year #and even THEN I would be able to tell them apart from an imposter #its the ~vibes~ you feel me? lmao #STom: [squints] you’re a lot more confident today love #RTord: Oh? Well thank you #STom:….too confident…..*secretly powers up gun* #also I dont think its that suggestive?? #I’m violently ace so any mention of sex gets tagged riskdjf IDK?? #I just talk about safewords in this ask so it implies sex thats it #idk dont hit me HRHAJSJF

practiced with shapes + drawing bodies

#danganronpa despair time #drdt #arei nageishi #teruko tawaki #hu jing #(not sure if i should color and/or do lineart???? if anyone wants me to then ill be fine with doing that later) #i do like implying visible shapes into my art. even though a lot of times its subtle (i think. though it depends on who im drawing) #i dont do shapes (and shape language) to an extreme like some of my favorite artists. i dont think id be able to pull that off #esp shape language because idk its kind of limiting to me #i decided to draw the girls in bikinis so then itll be more easy to see what their body looks like (ESP hu) #of course teruko's looking all cute and stuff bc she likes cute stuff <3. it was a perfect time to draw her lookin cute #its the worse time of the year to draw characters in bikinis like its literally fall now /j anyways #reason for me drawing them for practice: hu because she's plus size. arei bc shes skinny with more ROUNDED shapes. #and teruko because shes skinny (more closer to average-size?) but with SHARPER shapes. #the whole point was me practicing with round and sharper shapes so since i had been planned what shapes i wanted to use in their designs #these three were perfect for practicing!!! #im still kinda shock that arei is about 5'7...

so i went to reblog some fanart earlier and started to tag it #oh this is. incredible actually, and then paused and thought, @‍self why the 'actually.' what is that adverb conveying. and i contemplated it for a bit, and finally concluded: well, shit. it's reflexive deprecation.

the thing is, deprecation is my starting position pretty much always, and that's a problem in itself, but mostly my problem; but when you're talking abt somebody else's work, and you start backing defensively away from imagined negativity before anyone's even actually voiced any? you may think you're playing bodyguard, but in reality you're the vanguard of the assault, opening a wedge for enemy forces to strike.

i was talking a couple of weeks ago abt seeing ppl tag that kristin sue lucas name-multiplied-by-one post with tags like 'this is art To Me' vel sim., and honestly i think it's a similar sort of reflex—i think exposure to the tumblr vernacular often leads people (very much including me!) to produce turns of phrase like this, that ultimately serve to convey roughly

'i, a clever girlblogger,¹ am, yeah, engaging with this frivolous hai pollai²-coded material; but my relationship to it, unlike that of most she-ple, is Intellectual and Analytical and Examined! and to make that clear, i'll be dropping in these little verbal particles from time to time, in order to distinguish my own, elevated examination of the subject from the state of risible naivete³ i'm implicitly ascribing to the other, more ordinary audience members i'm conjuring up only to instantly put down—but like, it's fine, i'm a free-and-easy girlblogger(TM), so you can't think i'd ever deliberately propagate establishmentarian prejudices! never mind the effect my rhetoric might subconsciously be having, on me or on anyone else…'

and i think this framing is worth squinting at, and worth attempting to excise from one's speech and from one's mindset, because when you get right down to it? it's just yet another insidious manifestation of respectability politics, that's gotten people to adopt it via the cuckoo-chick strategy of positioning itself as cutesy tumblr idiolect.

and like, circling back around to that fanart i mentioned at the outset: yeah, the tag did feel weirdly prosodically truncated to me without that 'actually'! but this way, if the artist ends up seeing my discussion of their work in their notes, they won't be getting slapped in the face with a wet dead fish first, so like. what's more important, you know?

⸻ ¹ ""(gender neutral)"" ² https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoi_polloi in the feminine, if i haven't totally fumbled my declensions… ³ phrasing nicked from a comment of @‍proudheron's.

#anyway like. this for sure isn't the definitive post abt this #and really what i'm getting at is just another facet of 'self-deprecation isn't usually actually separable from disparaging others' #but i do think there's a particular subtle flavor of it here that's worth sticking under the microscope in its own right #for those of us who may have breathed it in without noticing‚ and now be spreading it‚ again without noticing‚ in our turn #i mean. obvs also extremely possible i just *think* i've put my finger on something important bc it's late! #but like. imagine tagging‚ idk‚ the winged victory or sth with 'this is art. to me' #it would be SUCH a weird rhetorical move! but consider: it's *always* a weird rhetorical move‚ actually. #bc fundamentally it's a speech pattern that's seeking affirmation of yr own taste/authority/status as Critic #at the expense of the thing you've evaluated— #like‚ you're going 'i think this is neat!! (but that might just be me 😔)' #and then other girlbloggers are supposed to be like 'yeah no i totally see what you mean!!!' and affirm you! but the thing is— #the '(but that might just be me 😔)' part doesn't just undercut yr discernment‚ it undercuts the praise *predicated* on yr discernment #so it's like. you're dissing yourself in a way that's supposed to earn you affirmation‚ which. is fucked up actually‚ lol :) #but—it's one thing when you do it to yourself; when you incorporate it into the foundations of yr compliment #you've actually totally undermined that compliment and rendered it an insult #(not to mention undermined the idea that the thing might have merit in itself‚ beyond yr authority to bestow or withhold— #like. if you're speaking in terms of what's good/deep/Art/&c To You? you've effectively already ceded the main field of universality #and retreated to defend only yr own walled garden—and implied you'll cede even that small ground if it's disputed) #so like. in the context of yr social relationship with yr followers‚ those sorts of qualifiers are affirmation-seeking moves— #though like. also ones that reinforce yr rhetorical passive-victim positionality‚ in a way you shd perhaps consider *not* reinforcing— #but in the context of yr interaction with an OP? they're negging. #and i just think like. i get it and i'm @-ing myself here as much as anyone else! but it's not‚ like‚ a healed-world way to behave. lol. #so like. consider: tagging things 'art' without the cutesy little qualifiers. praising things without the hedging. #i'm not at all good at that but. i'm going to try. #metatumbling #language #the psyche #'close readings no one needed for 300‚ alex' #(extremely tempted to just scrap this writeup tbh but like. the thinking was worth doing‚ so a record of it is worth keeping)

where is my lockwood & co. crossover with bridgerton in which lockwood & co. somehow time travel to the regency period and now have to deal with the time era’s bullshit whilst also figure out how The Problem is a thing in the early 1800’s when it hadn’t even existed… this is exactly what george wants to investigate. they get dragged to a time where The Problem was active and yet it has never been documented. meanwhile, locklyle were just getting their footing and being semi-more-flirty each other and now they can’t interact in private without a goddamn chaperone. do you think that stops either one of them— fuck no. but it creates so many fun situations. and in total, the trio goes out nightly more or less every time there’s ghost activity.

#i like to think that it took a while for children to develop the seeing ghosts thing #like some of the kids right now in the regency era can see weird stuff or hear weird stuff but are basically told from a young age #to not ‘act out’ or ‘talk like a loony’ etc #and so they had to kind of push it down #till later in the decades talent just increased more until it was just there especially when the problem came a knockin’ #eloise goes insane over lucy. like not only does she look vv similar to her litle sister but she’s COOL #and yes there will be a subtle implied subject that lucy is decended from a bridgerton- most likely franny- but its never like a big thing #its mainly ‘oh fuck one of these arseholes is my ancestor and if they die i may cease to exist. oh well.’ #and then its lockwood ‘OH FUCK ONE OF THESE ARSEHOLES IS LUCE’S ANCESTORS AND IF THEY DIE SHE MAY CEASE TO EXIST’ #so thats why he takes a bigger interest in protecting them more or less; but it’s never gonna be like a HUGE thing its just a thing #who would george get along with #i havent seen bridgerton in a minute #i would write it but i have zero knowledge about regency era stuff #like ill write lockwood & co. in my sleep but i got no clue how the regency era scandal™️ works #do i have to rewatch bridgerton again; im just gonna skip to the s*x scenes we both know this #and the lady danbury scenes too #like thats all i’d end up rewatching #lockwood and lucy #lockwood and co #anthony lockwood #lucy carlyle #george karim #lockwood & co x bridgerton #hyacinth and george can see ghosts totes but the rest of the bridgertons as well as older teens have pushed the talent down #theyre sensitives and thats it #is that how it works #im making it up as i go #should i make a whole new type 4 that can time travel. is that allowed? can anyone stop me? #should lockwood meet kipps’ ancestor and start the rivalry from decades earlier bc he’s THAT petty

the way I interpreted hw2 is — following the thought initially put forward by ruin that princess quest is the canon ending of sb, hw2 takes place concurrently with ruin ( if slightly before by like, the ending of hw2 and the beginning of ruin overlap ) where gregory is the protagonist and the gameplay is him and vanessa trying to put an end to glitchtrap for good who in turn sets the mimic free as one final fuck you ( and likely the hope that the mimic would .... y'know, mimic afton and thus continue to carry on his eternal existence of fear and misery )

#★ * OOC / brainrot for a sushi restaurant. ) #also I think VR career picker's existence implies that #fazbear as a whole has been creating copies of the minds of people who apply for jobs #and sticking those in the staff bots so they don't have to actually hire people #thus leaning into this 'dangers of AI' theme the pizzaplex books seem to have going on #but yeah ! that's my thought on hw2 #this isn't even beginning to get into the wizard which is its own insane theory that I don't know how to begin to explain 💀 #glitchtrap who in itself is a copy of william releasing the mimic hoping itll copy william only for the mimic to #scamper out of the pizzaplex and start ripping limbs off #that thing is NOT subtle in the books it has none of the pizzazz that william has LMAO #anyways posting this and running ! #I know saying gregory is the player character sounds like my gregory bias peeking through but I genuinely didn't think that #until the princess quest ending because the ONLY character outside vanessa we've seen have an association with pq Is Gregory #he is the only that plays it. consistently. #that + whenever you get a high score in a game you get a ggy achievement ..... #and it makes sense how his walkie would be in range of cassies at the end of ruin #there's a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head that point to it being gregory but

ik the good doctor is like bad or whatever and that's great and cool and I truly don't care but I do wanna say that there is a episode where Shaun is visibly freaking out over the ceiling light making noise and one of the other characters looks at him and follows his gaze to see that he's staring at the light and then fucking jumps up and punches the light out and is like "you good now?? Cool let's continue doing doctor work" and honestly that's what supporting autistic people looks like

#as an autistic person i would love if thats how neurotypicals interacted with us lol #why is it when its conscious autistic rep its weird and bad but when its like subtle character decisions that imply autism its good #why it gotta be like this #the good doctor #autisim #actually autistic

Twitter is currently going insane over Huntlow. AFAIK Dana was asked about it in the Posthoot, and she blushed, covered her mouth, and turned away. Other members turned the camera away for 'spoilers,' although they apparently don't know the script. Hm.

What if she turned away at the MENTION of that word, pure fuming, because the crew specifically told us that the ship name was Winter and we just kept insistently calling it huntlow anyway because we're assholes?

#but honestly it was so funny #''NO SEASON 3 SPOILERS!!'' #girl nobody said anything about huntlow being a season 3 spoiler. yall were the ones who then proceeded to imply it is. #the crew gets so cryptic about huntlow its insane. why are they like this #they are watching zeno robinson like a hawk #and like. idk what it MEANS and im not into analyzing real people but like #im pretty sure its a confirmation that theyre doing SOMETHING with them next season #which is GREAT!!! #tbh id be happy with their friendship coupled with hunters occasional subtle little blushes #but apparently their whole relationship is a SPOILER?? Hush hush cannot discuss level of spoiler??? #HMM OKAY #BIG STUFF COMING FOR THEM HUH??

Once upon a midnight dreary

Tw: for blood, violence, grief, and other dark themes!!

Next chapter

Library

Chapter 1: Melancholy

Anger was travelling down my veins as I held the knife tight. I could see the dim light of the moonlight shinning through the open window as I hid in the shadows. I could hear the footsteps of the nurses, and Dr. Gubberson running through the halls trying to find me. My hands began to tremble as I became madder than before at the thought of facing Dr. Gubberson face to face again. I had enough that I was sent to the institution thanks to him, but I was not going to let him win over once again.

I was not going without a fight 

I was not going to leave without revenge 

I was not going to leave without proving I was not insane

I was going to prove I did not murder my own father….

Everything…everything began once upon a midnight dreary while my heart pondered and my father’s blood was tainted the wooden floor of his office while I became weary. His heart was still. There was no pulse, not breath, and his eyes were open wide. They were empty, with no sign or spark that once shunned in those, now, glass-like green eyes. I could feel my weary body tremble as I crumbled to the ground letting a painful cry as I reached towards my father’s body as I desperately tried to search- no… as I tried to fool myself into thinking that he was alive…

I desperately compressed against his inanimate heart. It did not move.

My hands and night gown were tainted in blood as my tears ran down my face. 

He was cold as ice. Dead as a matter of fact…

I dropped to the ground as my arms began to fail. My cries began to fade as I gently, ever so slowly reached towards my father’s body as I clutch it into a painful embrace. Blood was pretty much tainting me, making my curled red tresses of hair even darker than before. I could barely even blink due as it was getting into my eyelids; but I did not care. I couldn’t even care at all. I had no reason to care at all…

My father was dead, and nothing more.

I can’t recall how long I was there, sobbing as I embraced my father, but it was long enough for the police to come to the manor and forcefully drag me away from the study regardless of my protests. I was sent to change my clothes and bathe off the blood from my body as the housemaids forced me to abide with their orders. The shower was cold, but I had no strength to even fight nor complain. My mind was set on wondering when could I ever return to my father’s studies again. Everything that I wanted was to lay next to my father’s body one last time…before he would be taken to the morgue for an autopsy.

I knew the answer to my wishes…but I tried to submerge it into the last bit of hope that remained inside my body. 

I was sent to bed after showering and changing clothes. That was the last word I heard from the police that night as they took my father’s body. I did not bother to fight to see his lifeless eyes one more time as it would be all in vain. That was a battle I could not win, nor that staring at my father’s corpse would make him look nearly alive. 

It was just only that….and nothing more 

“Father…” My lips trembled as my hands rested against the gold glass from the window. My watery eyes focused on the police’s carriages and horses sitting on our front garden, while a lumpy figured wrapped in a cloth tainted with blood was brought inside in one of the carriages.

Clank!

That was the last time I saw the last remain of my father as he was gone once the police continued on…

Clank….Clank!

I stood silently for the next few hours of that night, ignoring my trembling legs begging me to rest, as the groaning and moaning of the bells that sung in the police cars rang through my ears blocking every sound or complaint from the outside word. I could hear the bells…the bells that announced that my father, Dr. Manfred Ruckus, was dead…

Clank! Clank!

“Riley, go to sleep!” I could hear the mumbling, almost a distorted whisper from the manor maids.

Clank! Clank!

The bells…the bells…that sung when the maids found me on despair at the study.

“Master Ruckus is gone…”

Clank! Clank! Clank! 

The bells….the retched damn bells that would eventually haunt me every night….

Clank! 

Clank! 

Clank! 

Clank!

The same bells that sung when my mother drowned…

Quasi-Kuro related ramblings about the demons under the cut

(most of it is in the tags)

Demons as catalysts for change and upheaval, or at least ardent advocates for it, using their presence to tip the scales

Could demons be summoned with less for less, through sacrifices that don't involve bloodshed but still have the power to drastically alter the course of one's life?

Love Season 2 was possibly EVEN better than season 1 cannot wait for season 3! Season 3's of any series are NUTS. Season 3s are the magic number because now they've set up the board. We know these characters, we've walked around with them, now they'll be put through the ringer, they'll face challenges and certain things imploding in their faces. Season 2 tho my goodness. The trials and tribulations that come with love are tackled in such a understanding and slightly relatable way. These walking human disasters are doing their best. That's all any of us can ever do! Cannot recommend this subtle human drama enough.

The funny thing is that I remember how much I struggled with the title for the fourth chapter of "Was Born To Lead" (A New Beginning) and was never quite satisfied with it, but now, I realize it does make sense, considering I actually began to write a completely new story with this chapter.

#Was Born To Lead #I make way too many posts about this fic now it deserves its own tag #I mean originally 'Was Born To Lead' was supposed to be a drabble collection about Gabe's past #but the fourth chapter implied there was supposed to be a continuation so I wrote it #and then I wrote an absolutely random Ángel chapter and delved into Valerio's past.... #I mean Valerio was supposed to be important in the orginal concept as well but having his own storyline.... no I didn't expect that #Honestly I'm still not quite sure if I went in the right direction developing my own characters and creating an ongoing storyline #basically having nothing to do with canon and maybe at some points not even looking realistic enough for Gabe's actual backstory #And I'm pretty sure my OCs are one of the reasons for many people not to read it because you know when you read fanfiction #you want to read about the characters you already know and love #And my OCs may be just not interesting enough for that #But I... like what I'm doing? #Honestly looking back I realize that I wouldn't be able to make it drabble collection because we freaking nothing know about Gabe's past #I highlighted all the main CANON aspects in those first three chapters so continuation of it would imply writing headcanon ideas either way #And I made Gabe the actual main character of his story being surrounded by his friends family and other characters #who have their own lives as well #He has his own adventures fitting his personality and attitude #I try to highlight different aspects of his character bringing up some small details like him loving Antonia Agama or being bad at riddles #and more major ones like his conflict with Roberto and his subtle leadership makings #I mean I understand reading about OCs may be a bit annoying especially if you don't like them but there's still enough Gabe #and of the points of this story was to make it multi-layered so if you don't like one thing you may like another #I don't I'm probably too narcissistic and biased towards this fic but I genuinely enjoy working on it #Maybe it would be interesting for more people if I made it as a drabble collection #But I'm glad how it turned out eventually #There's supposed to be 'I know I'm probably' I'm just too lazy to fix it
