I feel like the best way to like explain what I think is the key difference between Charlie and Way is that if they were songs from musicals, Charlie would be Never Ever Getting Rid of Me from 'Waitress' whereas Way would be Meant to Be Yours From 'Heathers', because even though both showcase a kind of unhealthy obsession with the girls that the guys singing them are into, the number from 'Waitress' clearly has only wholesome and well-meant intentions even if the message is still a bit intense because we see that it does evolve into something reciprocated and healthy, whereas the number from 'Heathers' depicts an obviously malicious and dangerous one-sided obsession, even if the relationship initially began with some semblance of health and communication.

I’ve been wanting to get back into writing on a larger scale

I mean, I never really stopped. But it’s been little one-shots and collaborative pieces between close friends.

I want to write something on the scale of A Parade of Indignities, which was a bona-fide longfic and had a posting schedule for AO3 and FFN.

In case this came across your dash, and you're like "who the fuck is this lady and why would I care about what she writes?" my name is Rissy. I enjoy writing stories for the Invader Zim fandom, and I've been around for several years, writing stories and just kind of vibing. I mainly write gen fics. I used to post regularly on AO3 and FFN, but after I finished my longfic a couple years back, I took a bit of a hiatus.

I’m going to put this poll up to test some waters and use the results to help me make my decision. If there’s any one option that has overwhelming popularity, it might give me some pause for thought.

1) inALIENable. Very Zim-centric and Gaz-centric. Here’s a post that explains this fanfic pretty well. I would probably take the outline back to the drawing board and heavily rewrite the sections I have for it (I'd written about 1/3 of it in 2018, then I put it waaaay on the back-burner). Fair warning, it involves a major character death that occurs before the story begins. It also includes an OC that doesn't dominate the story but plays a key role in the story. I think part of the reason I’ve been hesitant to post it is because I don’t anticipate it gaining much readership. I just envision the major character death/OC acting as deterrents for readers. Stupid to concern myself so much over readership, I know. I get it. I should write for me and me only. I'm going to be transparent, though: if I'm going to devote my time to my hobby after 50+ hours of work a week, and I'm putting in the effort of polishing it up so I could post it publicly, and I'm looking forward to talking about it with people and engaging with the fandom more...then it would be incredibly demoralizing to receive nothing but dead air. I'm sorry. I have no other way to explain it.

If not inALIENable, I have a couple other ideas of stories I could write and post on AO3.

2) An expansion of a one-shot I’ve written and posted on Tumblr. I’m thinking either this prompt or this prompt.

3) Something else entirely. I'm open to suggestions.

#invader zim #fanfiction #my writing #rissy rambles #like really rambles #if this poll gets weird i'll take it down #because my imagination is running wild #please don't 'suggest' freaky stuff for me to write #and please don't harass me for any reason #I guess i'm just curious #does anyone actually *want* to read a fic like inALIENable? #i miss writing

[captain-stab-a-hoe]

I said this was gonna be in details but this is not as much detail as I thought I'd put cause my brain just fried halfway through

Ok so like let's say xie lian, wei wuxian, and shen yuan are like an idol group since I'm unoriginal and those are the type of popular celebrities that get shit like fancams and all the sexy and goofy edits and fanfictions

They have partners! Not shocking but people are a little disappointed but it does not stop their activities in the slightest their fanbases are thriving all that good shit. What is both a blessing and a cursed is that their boyfriends are carrying content on their backs but like nobody has any idea it's them you wouldn't even begin to think these men are ACTIVE (mainly in the fanfiction department obviously). Why is it a curse? The same people they write about also kinda interact with this content more than people think they do? Like yeah they like a couple posts and stuff but mainly xie lian wei wuxian and shen yuan like looking at this stuff with their partners really and like I imagine it's just...chaotic

Bingqiu (or bingyuan I guess) is particularly funny to think about cause like the way shen yuan talks about these x reader fanfics to binghe is weirdly endearing for him but also it gives him so many mixed feelings. Like binghe's fanfiction is filled with like 90% plotless cliche smut that rivals even the stallion novels of airplane bro and the other 10% is equally as cliche over the top romantic fantasies that make you throw up rainbows and shen yuan is like a fucking moth to flame with them. He's definitely sitting on the couch with binghe, his face is like scrunched up in dramatic irritating as he practically analyzes and criticizes everything cause obviously they don't sound like him at all and he thinks they should've just made an OC. And once again binghe is conflicted cause ok he's a little sad and probably second guesses how well he actually knows his boyfriend and if what he himself does is actually what shen yuan likes. But also...shen yuan turns around and does that exact same cheesy shit he writes that binghe pays extra attention to cause shen yuan focuses on those traits in the fanfiction. And it's honestly more endearing in a way than if shen yuan actually liked fanfiction I think. And also the better outcome cause can you imagine binghe getting weirdly bitter towards his own ominous persona just cause his boyfriend is complimented somebody he doesn't know he's together with already.

For wangxian I know wei wuxian is thrilled by wangji's works much to wangji's surprise slight embarrassment cause wei wuxian strikes me as the type of person who would have a grand time reading or even acting out x reader fanfics about himself. Would he find out wangji write them? Probably not wangji but honestly I think he might have a feeling somebody who knows him write these type of fics. I say this knowing he'd make little remarks like "That's totally something I'd do!" Or "Lan Zhan, we've done something like this before right?". And wangji just nods and plays along cause really what do you do when your boyfriend is reading your "I can't fix him but I can fuck him" fantasies to you and pretends you aren't clenching your fist repeatedly like you're trying to decide if you're gonna push him off or bend him over a table. Also like the elegance in which he writes these absolutely raunchy scenes would probably low-key tip wei wuxian off there's probably like a few select people he knows who'd write smut with college literature degree writing. Personally to me the funniest outcome is wei wuxian finding out cause nobody is safe anymore he's commenting on all of them when he's not home and it's absolutely foul.

Hualian is....not the more innocent? It's like I think Xie Lian views this type of content through the lens of like "Oh look at that I can't believe so many write about me haha" while also keeping his mouth shut about how they wrote cause it's not like it's causing harm right? It's not like they actually know him anyway. But like when it comes to hua cheng's x reader fics I think xie lian would find them quite pleasant to read and maybe a little overwhelming cause 78% of the fics are just full of long rambling about how great he is that come out of nowhere sometimes. But the funny thing is I can't decide if hua cheng would be jealous or not. I might not have have gotten as far into tgcf as I have with svsss or mdzs but I do know enough to make the conclusion that this man's confidence is mostly a coping mechanism ok look even though he's with xie lian he'd be real hesitant to reveal that he wrote goddamn fanfictions. I feel like the more sky he becomes is just the more nervous he is like if he caught xie lian reading one of his works he'd try asking him for his thoughts in the most casual way possible. Any praise and he's secretly giddy the whole day. One slight criticism and he's practically folded over his computer perfecting his stories. Which probably leads into the idea that he has so many fucking unpublished shit just sitting there, waiting to be found one day by accident maybe by xie lian who knows.

#That's.... all i have in me until my brain reboots #the captain rambles #like REALLY rambles #mxtx #mdzs #tgcf #svsss #hualian #wangxian #bingqiu #if you see any spelling mistakes...no

I know I said CH2 of WTTW would be posted tomorrow but I managed to edit it at work, so it’s kinda ready? Could post tonight and then focus on this smut fic (that’s came out of nowhere).

I also need to keep working on chapter three if WTTW (Kansas let’s gooo) and god almighty, October is coming and I need to work on more prompts.

Anyways, I’m spiralling pls help.

#etain/vikkari#etain torren#otp: may i?#okay I finally have some time at a computer so I can SCREAM ABOUT THIS AAAAAAAAAHHHH#I love so much how gentle he is with her while also never treating her like she's fragile#and how she's at the temple asking for guidance and gets an answer in the form of the wooden bear in her pocket#👀 girl that's sarenrae playing matchmaker ((stormlord voice) where does your strength come from?)#AND THE KISS 🥰🥰🥰#ETAIN.EXE is not responding#self-doubt spiral cancelled on account of forehead kiss#SO GOOD what a perfect prompt for them I love everything about this

@haledamage yay, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I love writing our kids together, their dynamic is so great.(It makes me wish I had the know-how and resources to actually make Vikkari a companion in the game, and then get a little sad that I can’t xD) For all his worrywart tendencies, he knows and doesn’t discount people’s capabilities. So unless he’s in full mother hen mode(LANN WEAR A SHIR- wdym you don’t get sunburn???), he not likely to baby someone. And part of what attracts him to Etain in the first place is her skill, so the last thing he’s gonna do is devalue that and act like she’s helpless.🥰🥰

Sarerae’s matchmaking pretty hard there, yeah. Desna might be helping a bit too(Vikkari did have a reason he went to the chapel, but promptly forgot it when he saw Etain was there xD). I see this as being ~a week before the assault on the Midnight Fane, which is where the lock in for his romance would happen, so we’re very close to this being some level of official. :D 

I had to take advantage of the fact they’re sitting down--and thus basically the same height--to do a forehead kiss. 🥰 I was toying with having him kiss the scar right at the top edge of her mask, but went with forehead bc a) there’s a cheek kiss as part of his romance lock, so we can say that happens there, b) forehead kisses make me scream, and c) it felt like it fit the current stage of their relationship better. There’s definitely attraction on both sides, but neither’s taken the step to “do something” and make it more serious/official yet (but soon👀). There’s a gentleness and intimacy to a forehead kiss that--aside from making me screech internally--is less likely overstepping boundaries. And then he’s still worried he did that. the ETAIN.EXE not responding must have been showing on her face. xD He’s really truly smitten by this point and doesn’t wanna do anything that makes her uncomfortable. 

It really is a perfect prompt for them; they and AJ/Nate both went 👀👀 immediately and loudly, a couple other pairings eyed it from a distance, but these two started talking first in terms of plot and dialogue. Such a good fit for them.

#queen rambles #like really rambles #and i'm about to do it some more #i love these kids can you tell? xD #etain/vikkari #he doesn't do things by halves and that definitely includes falling in love with her #boy was a goner very quickly #i wanna play around with some specific scenes at some point for them #like lost chapel or the midnight fane #expand some of the companion!vikkari content still rattling around in my head #also some of his companion quest stuff with priya and the blackbirds #let etain be the one offering support and encouraging him in hitting the balance of helping priya but letting her make her own choices #like i said i adore their dynamic #it's so great

Sometimes I like thinking about how a Dal camp companion would work.

Like, after going too long between Long Rests with Dal in the party, he will start to show signs of pain not unlike the way Gale does. But, unlike Gale, Dal does NOT confide in you at the moment. You have to take a Long Rest and speak to him at camp, choosing careful dialogue options to get him to admit that he has a fairly new but chronic back injury--it's been too long since getting the injury to heal by magic means (it's "healed" as much as it's going to, the same way that a scar can be a cause of pain but is the "healed" form of the injury), only rest helps to sort of.. "reset" it.

Initially, having him stay behind in camp leads to huffy, indignant comments like "Good luck. You will need it without me." Both because he feels as though he's being treated as weak or being seen as a liability.

BUT, with enough approval/friendship and knowing his situation, removing him from the party will cause him to actually thank you for the chance to rest because he knows you care about him, and when he joins the party again he will remark on how refreshed he feels.

Using healing magic on him will obviously work to replenish health, but will earn negative comments from him.

He makes negative comments about things like the sun and the heat, and awe-struck and positive comments about things like flowers and art (especially fashion and jewelry, but also scenic paintings about places he's never been before).

Dal will make negative remarks to and about any primarily-magic-wielding party member to show the player his displeasure about magic and, in part, his insecurity around magic users.

His banter towards everyone is somewhat antagonistic at first but slowly softens more into curiosity:

He goes from hating Gale to asking him questions about the world because he realizes Gale is too eager to teach to be judgemental about it. In return, he offers analogous information about the Underdark to satisfy Gale's curiosity.

He goes from being bigoted towards Lae'zel to appreciating her skills in combat as well as her knowledge on Illithids despite her young age, as well as feeling a bit of connection in the fact that neither of them are from Faerun.

He goes from being incredibly suspicious of Astarion and thinking him whiny about his past, to feeling a kinship with him because of their pasts filled with cruelty once Dalamus realizes that his past was, indeed, cruel. They're Double Trouble when together in battle, and share a similar sense of dark humor. They bicker like divorcees who still care a great deal about each other.

He goes from being distrustful and even fearful of Shadowheart (as a Trickery Domain Cleric), to appreciating her practicality and sarcastic wit. He also finds her bickering with Lae'zel and Astarion incredibly amusing and will egg them on sometimes.

He goes from being annoyed by Karlach's unquenchable cheer and zest for life, to admiring her ability to see the bright side of everything. Her hope is contagious and she helps him to see that he's not just an outcast, but a survivor, and now he's free. She also likes to show him new things for them to enjoy together.

He goes from being aggravated by Wyll's heroic attitude to admiring his determination to Do the Right Thing even though evil choices are incredibly tempting and even sometimes more profitable, especially when being enforced by a devil.

Halsin, Jaheira and Minsc I don't know much about yet, so I can't say his opinions

Like a few characters, Dal goes through a religious change, which one can influence--carefully. One leads to a Bad End for him, while the other leads to a Good End, whether romantically involved with the player character or not.

Bonding scenes with him may include (idk how many there usually are): eating dinner and talking about food, seeing him work on stones, sitting with him while he stargazes, talking about the Underdark and what he misses about it, talking about the surface world and his difficulty adjusting to it, talking about his fear of being abandoned by Lolth and feeling alone, giving him a gift (maybe a particular stone, or a journal from a drow who left Lolth and found a better life [saving this idea actually 👀])

I have come to the realization that no one, besides my irl friends who follow me on here, will ever know what's going on in my real life unless I tell you. And I like it like that, I like being able to have a very clear line between my irl and my online life, because they are very different. I love and appreciate all of my followers, but I'd rather not have you guys know about my personal life, just as much as I don't want to know about yours. No one ever taught me 'online safety' I just kinda knew I didn't like putting certain information online. I am a very socially awkward person and you may not think this at first because of what I do, but this carries to online as well. I'm always second guessing myself on whether or not to post/reblog stuff. I'm very scared of commenting on posts most of the time, and even more afraid to send asks to other creators. I grew up on Roblox, but I prefer to play games alone, or with one of my very best friends. This is very ranty, but this is just me appreciating my weird brain for keeping me safe online without ever being taught.

I ❤️ self-loathing characters, characters who struggle with monstrosity (either fearing or embracing it), characters who are so lonely, who have a gaping hole in their chest, who bottle up & repress their feelings, who claw their way up & have ambitions, who fall down & lose everything, who search for identity & purpose yet can’t see themselves outside of what others want from or expect of them, who are hurt & hurt others, who long & grieve, who lie & pretend. characters who are messy & flawed & human

I feel like Pit Babe was like built to have a historical/period drama/fantasy au written for it like idk just the vibes

#the storyline kind of slots in with medieval attitudes to marriage and breeding perfectly #like depressingly so #omegaverse literature (if you can call it that) seems to have that kind of attitude when dealing with its secondary gender binary #listen this is the just the byproduct of the vroom vroom abo show rotting my brain for 13 consecutive weeks #while i simultaneously had 3 weekly lectures on the medieval through renaissance periods #like in a couple weeks time i probably look at this like wtf was i on abt #but right now it makes sense #so just humour me #pit babe the series #pit babe brainrot #cerys rambles #like REALLY rambles #i genuinely am sorry for this one tbh

[unforth]

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

#unforth rambles #this wasn't really prompted by anything #I'm just sick and tired and distractable #or i should say it wasn't prompted by anything recent or that happened now #like no one has disrespected me #but as i hit the point that it's regularly taking me an hour plus every single day to queue things for the danmei art blogs #i just think of all the times people go WAIT YOU RUN ALL OF THOSE??? BY YOURSELF??? #like i just don't think a lot of people realize how much work it is to really do background fandom labor long term #and i appreciate places like rec blogs and networks and events and just everyone #y'all are awesome #thank you so much

[listen-to-the-inner-walrus]

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.

and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.

...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.

see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.

while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.

especially if the president of the united states is on board.

yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.

and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."

but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.

...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.

not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.

yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.

but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire

#kai rambles #so like #i enjoy ships and learning about them and looking at them but like #i dont really care for warships #i dont hate them viscerally like i do cruise ships but i never really care for them #apart from the ones that were just like either ridiculously designed like the hms captain or the vasa or the novgorod #or the ones where just insane shit happened like with the william d porter #like this isnt even the extent of the porters unfortunate incidents like shr was sank by a kamikaze attack that MISSED #but somehow ended up below the ship and exploded and just like yeeted the porter out of the water #william d porter #uss william d porter #ww2 #world war 2 #world war ii #warships #again warships are really not my thing but god some of them are so fucking funny #uss iowa #fdr #franklin d. roosevelt #this suddenly got so many notes in like less than 24 hours what the fuck #shipposting

learned something about myself lately

#i dont think its even the fact almost all my characters are somewhat beasts in one way or another. i just #really like tails and wish i had one myself #and then my oc designs are a little tame theyre mostly human shaped with animal features. but they always have tails #my eyes have recently been opened to the appeal of long whiplike unicorn tails.. so flowy and curly #something about the tuft at the end being long and swirly just does something for me.. #maybe it would make sense to change auggies tail shape so it looks like a meteor. her design is mainly pink with hot pink accent #so it would be cool to use that and orange to make it look like a fire meteor.. maybe itll help complement the blue/green in her design #head full of ocs today so expect a ramble later #if i had a tail i think it would be long with a kink. so it kind of folds over once but not in a curl #when it wags its kind of a swaying motion. i have thought about this a normal amount #yapping

[trans-clown-catgirl]

Heelloooooo little gay people in my phone. I'm nearly done with my HS reread, less than 700 pages away, and I got to the moment I've been dreading this entire time

The Vriskagram flash.

This isn't gonna be so much an analysis as much as a fucking tirade on how this fucking sucks.

WHAT. WHY. FUCK YOU. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU. BRINGING VRISKA BACK IS ONE THING, SURE YOU DESTROYED A GOOD CONCLUSION TO A WELL WRITTEN CHARACTER ARC, BUT WHATEVER YOU CAN FIX THAT N MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF IT. BUT NO!!! NOW VRISKA IS SUDDENLY GOOD AND AMAZING AND PERFECT AND FIXES EVERYONE'S PROBLEMS, SHE SUDDENLY HAS HER SHIT TOGETHER LIKE SOME GOKU BUMP ON THE HEAD BULLSHIT EXCEPT HE WAS A BABY WHEN THAT HAPPENED, VRISKA IS LUDICROUSLY OUT OF CHARACTER HERE AND THE FACT SHE'S SUDDENLY FIXING EVERYTHING AROUND THE METEOR BEING A RELATIONSHIP COUNSELOR BEING ON PERFECT TERMS WITH TEREZI IT'S ALL SUCH BULLSHIT, SHE'S GOING AROUND THE SBURB ALPHA SESSION MAKING EVERYTHING BETTER AND SHE'S PERFECT AND SHE DOES NOTHING WRONG EVER. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS STUPID SUDDEN IDIOTIC 180 HUSSIE PULLED WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT OR PROPER LEADUP, YOU PIECE OF SHIT, THIS IS NOT HOW CHARACTER REDEMPTIONS WORK, THEY DON'T GET CLOCKED IN THE FACE AND SUDDENLY THEY'RE A COMPLETE POLAR OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY USED TO BE, THAT ISN'T HOW THIS WORKS

I had a smidge of hope. A smidge! I thought oh maybe Ghost Vriska gets merged with Past Vriska and that's how she knows what to fix and that's how she's more emotionally sensible and not a douchebag and egomaniac BUT NO THEY MAKE A POINT TO MAKE IT DAMN CLEAR THAT THEY'RE SEPARATE ENTIRELY, GHOST VRISKA A PRETTY WELL DEVELOPED N THOUGHT OUT CHARACTER WHO GOT PLENTY OF SCREENTIME AND DEVELOPMENT, BUT NOW SHE'S BEING BASICALLY REPLACED BY SOMETHING WORSE, SOMETHING FUCKING CHEAP, I HATE EVERY SECOND OF THIS.

Fuck what hussie did to A6I3-5 Tavros btw. That probably singlehandedly spawned the stupid "Tavros was a chaser" theory, he's an incel that acts like a dick and grovels at Vriska's feet there which makes NO sense, he died in a respectable way, he would rather die fighting a fight he knows he has almost no chance to win, if only to at least TRY to stop Vriska from doing something stupid that would get them all killed, rather than sit there doing nothing. Textbook Heroic death. And then when he's a ghost he's a fucking incel. What the hell hussie. You should have skipped to the part where he recruits a ghost army through sheer charisma (peak page of breath)

Anyways yeah fuck the Vriskagram flash and fuck everything it embodies. Including the infantilization of WV. That's an old man that's not a baby. He's older than all of you combined. He's your fucking grandpa. He's a war veteran, he staged a revolution. Stop treating him like a child bc he's short. Fuck you.

SO charmed by the little throwaway about ✨dragon lord consort esteemed diplomat revaan✨ #who picks the vegetables out of his food and hides them under the tablecloth #everything i learn about this man makes me like him more. he was SO dumb. #now we know where malleus gets it from i guess #also unrelated but once again the fact that i named my mc tamago has had unintentional consequences #tamago take the tamago and tamago tamagao tamago #frikkin love that when yuu gives the egg back you can just be like 'i love him. this is my baby now.' 100% accurate. #also yuu continually referring to malleus as tsunotarou even to the senate = amazing. yuu really has NO self-preservation or awareness. #they fit right in with everyone else #<- see what did i tell you. huge rambling mess. #and i haven't even BEGUN to talk about MELEANOR -- (is dragged offstage by a hook)
