#little ' oh this made me think of you' gifts

[judec4ptor]

happy pride everybody!! i made a redesign of the clone high characters (consider this a redesign of these designs as well)

EDIT: I FORGOT ABOUT ABE'S BEARD!!!! SO THERE IT IS, THAT'S WHY IN THE CLOSE-UP IT'S NOT THERE, SORRY FOR THAT!!!

five hours of drawing and drawing for this... sigh...

below are headcanons and perhaps some explanations of the redesign⬇️ :>

Joan... it's hard to give her a headcanon about her sexuality but i think shes questioning!!

joan has a precious stone in her necklace, harriet gave it to her as a gift for her friendship!!!

her bracelet was given by frida (maybe harriet and frida like to give things to their friends idk)

and thats it !!

JFK!! hes bisexual lmfao!! for me, he started to question himself after the chapter where joan pretends to be a boy, and then in the present he already realized that... well, he liked both

I gave him a sweatshirt, since in most series, movies, etc, jocks wear them ;p

harriet!! she (like joan) is questioning her sexuality lmfao

i gave her a vest because... well, there's no explanation, I just thought it would look good on her

and yes, i made her a little chubbier because that's my headcanon lololo!!!!

confucius!! hes a transman and pansexual :)

not much to add beyond his slightly different clothes and hair

cleo... she is a lesbian, as I believe her relationships with men never worked out and were only for interest, while with frida it is different

my headcanon is that in the 2000's she used to straighten her hair, and nowadays she leaves it curly :3

abe... oh abe i love him!! (in season 3 he was meh sorry) he is a closet bisexual (he has a lot to think about) and uh has a weird friendship/enemies with topher

as you can see, he shares a bracelet with someone... but with who??🤔🤔

EDIT: OH GOD I JUST REMEMBERED THAT ABE HAS A RACCOON TAIL!!

FRIDA!!! shes a lesbian and (maybe) she is within the non-binary spectrum

I can't add much either, in the original image you can see that I changed her clothes a bit lfmao!! the paint stains on her pants are now patches, as I think she tore a lot of her pants because of her skateboard tricks

AND FINALLY THE LAST ONE... TOPHER!! hes gay (duh)

in the first season of the reboot he is in denial, in the new season I feel that he has more accepted his sexuality

I can't add much either hehe!! i just change his clothes and stuff

and yes, he shares a bracelet with abe :3 (they have been wearing that bracelet since before THAT, but they do not want to take it off)

and thats it😭😭

sfw Catwin drabble

Gold is the Cat King's color. He thinks Edwin would look nice in it too, in shiny things x

One of the Cat King’s love languages is gift giving.  

It concerned Edwin at first, little trinkets, left innocently on his desk, around the office, made him feel like he was supposed to give something back? Felt like he owed the Cat King, especially for the more expensive things, fingers tracing the intricate craftsmanship of paperweights, leafing through rare volumes, softest silks running through his hands. He's concluded, deduced, that it's just another of the ways that his lover shows his affection, the dedication to Edwin a familiar warmth, just expressed in new ways. 

But the jewellery still confuses him. 

They are always given directly, a hopeful gaze on his lover’s face, encouraging smile, silent conversation there that Edwin never quite catches. The first is a bracelet. A simple gold band looping around his wrist, closure resembling a Cat’s head biting down on its own tail. No flashy gemstones, no rough clasps to possibly catch on or irritate his skin. The Cat King holds it out, presses it into Edwin's palm when he curiously holds it out, accepts it. That smirk turning into a smile, a little nod, the hope in those slitted eyes, encourages Edwin to try it on. It fits perfectly, of course it does, a part of Edwin wonders if he’d even take it off if it didn’t, for his lover looks so, so pleased. 

Edwin grows comfortable with its weight, wears it for a while, even on cases. He ends up putting it away, in his pocket, after a case goes south with a spot of trouble, a chase. They manage to escape, they always do, but on the other side of the mirror they jumped through to get to safety, Edwin pats himself down, checks his coat, gloves, wrist. Finds the bracelet’s closure a bit twisted, a probable result of his wrist getting grabbed and pulled by the ghost that chased them, their mania and panic causing them to lash out instead of recognizing their presence for the help that was offered. 

Another mirror journey, they see each other again, Edwin notices the Cat King seems to deflate, brief sadness crosses his face, once he notices the bracelet’s gone. Oh. He cheers right up, his sigh sounding relieved, when Edwin presents him the bracelet from his pocket, asks him to fix it, please. 

It's a free for all, after that. Every time they see each other, often, near daily, as new lovers are wont to gravitate towards each other as if any absence tugs on them like a string pulled taut, the Cat King has a new piece of jewellery for him. Always gold, at times tastefully adorned with small expensive stones, shiny pearls. Thin chains of pearls, necklaces, linking bracelets, suspiciously perfect fitting rings, delicate anklets, even a pair of earrings, once. Edwin silently points to his non-pierced ears, and his lover gently removes, holds up a single dangling earring from the little box. The little ball gently rings much like a cat bell when the Cat King turns it in his palm, shows Edwin the small painless clip-closure that would hold them in place without piercing skin. 

"Why do you insist on giving me jewellery? I can't feasibly wear all of it, especially when conducting my work. Most of it ends up in the office, in a box.” Edwin waits for the Cat King to look up at him, lift his head from Edwin’s chest where it rested comfortably. “It just feels a bit like a waste?” His lover doesn’t reply right away, slitted eyes dropping down, to where his fingers still absently play with the most recent gift, a simple golden band around Edwin’s ring finger. 

"Does it bother you?” Edwin’s head is shaking in reply before he puts any thought to it, and he knows the Cat King felt his chin move through his soft curls, cause his voice sounds more certain, less meek, when he adds “Can you just indulge me, then?” There’s something silent there, again, Edwin feels it coming into reach, he can almost catch it. 

“I suppose, it is nice to have a variety,” Edwin starts, speaking softly to the top of his lover’s hair, “it doesn’t really matter that I can’t wear all of it...” He trails off, he’s organizing his thoughts like he would on a case, slips his hand from his lover’s gentle grip, holds it out for both of them to see the gold on his finger catch the afternoon light streaming through the windows, “As long as I can wear at least something of yours, then, hmm?”  

The Cat King merely grins, no, beams in response.

Heartbroken; Human Alastor x Fem reader

ask: Hi, Could you do a Human Alastor x Reader, where Reader is Alastor’s childhood friend. Reader has always wanted to ask Alastor out. The day they finally mustered the courage, they heard Alastor accepting someone else’s confession. Reader is heartbroken? - @cartoonykat

tags: one sided love, fem reader, swearing, reader being heartbroken?? Childhood friends, short oneshot, not proof read, no mentions of y/n

word count: 0.7k

You were so little when your mother decided to introduce yourself to Alastor, your new neighbour. He was just the bestest friend of bestfriends to you! And looking back he was such a sweet child.

You and him would always play tag and hide and seek in the forest near the bayou. Of course, you'd always win since you were the best at these games, though you didn't know that your little friend pitied you and had let you win every single time.

You were always invited to his house for dinner that his mother made, and you had to admit that his mother's cooking was delicious.

When you grew a little older you started developing a crush on Alastor, admiring him and every little thing that he made. Noticing how his rounded, black glasses are adorable and how his brownish hair shined in the sunlight.

To your dismay you didn't have the guts to ask him out, yet. Thinking that you were too young for such things, you were just teenagers!! However looking back you realized that you made a horrible mistake.

Cleaning a glass behind the counter, you were met with the familiar "Ding!!" which signalled that someone just walked through the door. Looking up, you lightened up and quickly fixed your posture.

"Good morning, Alastor. Why so early?" You asked your childhood friend. He never came here at such an early hour. The Cafe was opening at eight am and it was only nine. That little voice in your head told you that maybe he was here specifically to see you but your brain told you to not get too excited.

"I just had some free time on me so I told myself why not to stand by?" The brunette responded, ordering his usual coffee. Pheraps you had a chance? You thought making his order before giving him to him.

As you saw him sit down at one of the stalls your mind started to wander to the plans you had today. You memorised Alastor's schedual, knowing what time he starts and ends his shift at the radio station. That's why you were surprised to see him walking in at such a early hour.

Today is the day, you finally got the courage to ask Alastor out. You were a tad bit nervous but your confidence and determination was high. Now you just had to wait till you get off work, grab your things and meet Alastor at his house.

The time soon arrived, for this occasion you wore a gorgeous red dress, nothing too much but just to show that you were serious about things.

Holding the present with your sweaty palms you stepped on the porch of Alastor's house. Hand up, just about to knock but your nervousness started to kick in. Is this really the time? Pheraps you should wait a tiny bit more?

No! You had to do it, now. Just as you were about to knock you heard 2 voices coming from the inside. A more masculine one and a femine one? This surely wasn't his mothers voice. Despite knowing that's wrong you decided to listen. Moving next to the open window with curtains open you were met with..

What? OH.. oh..

A loud gasp left your lips as you dropped your gift to the ground. Why? You could feel the warm tears streaming down your face as you backed away from the window.

Turning on your feet you ran away not wanting to face him, no.. At least not for now.

(a/n) this sucks and i completely forgot about this ask. Im so sorry!! I wanted for this to be longer but after it deleted itself the first time I wrote it I said fuck it and didn't had the motivation to write it again. But I hope this wasn't too bad lol

Sooo 👀 Miss Raven x Silver anyone?

HELP 😭 Is this because of that one post I made…

The only time I thought about this ship was back in 2021 for a creative thinking exercise. Looking back on it, I can kind of see the appeal?? Especially considering my own recently renewed interest in Silver— It’s definitely a very picturesque and delicate-looking fairy tale couple.

The most Miss Raven interacts with Diasomnia is to work with them to fetch Malleus for important events and/or to deliver notes for meetings he misses… so I guess if we were to write an AU, Silver would be meeting her this way. Maybe Miss Raven’s so stunned to come across someone that’s just like the stereotypical princes she reads and writes about, both in looks and in demeanor. She’s too stunned to speak! … Which could lead to Silver misreading it as “oh, she’s scared of me” and making extra efforts to be welcoming (since he doesn’t want to sour the good will between Diasomnia and the headmaster’s child/errand runner). And since he seems to be the most approachable of the four, Miss Raven develops a habit of going to him when she needs something from that dorm… and it all goes downhill from there.

Miss Raven develops a little crush but dismisses it because she thinks it’s immature (like, she believes she’s projecting unrealistic expectations onto him based on what she writes) or she’ll get over it eventually. Meanwhile Silver is over here very seriously—bless his denseness—saying things like, “I like spending time with you. I would stay by your side forever if I could. If you ever need help, just say the word and I’ll come running to your side.” STRAIGHT OUT OF A ROMANCE NOVEL, MY GUY.

Now that we know a little more about Silver, I realize that he and Raven are both the types to compare themselves to others and talk themselves down. They lack some confidence in their own abilities and keep pushing themselves to meet an impossible standard, feeling as though they aren’t worthy of their loved ones… I definitely feel like they could bond over this and support each other in their endeavors. Like I mentioned in the post linked above, it could be something to help each other with their shortcomings—Raven nudging Silver awake, them through smile drills together, etc. It could also just be sitting down and talking through their emotions!

Lilia, Sebek, and even Silver’s animal friends could be curious bystanders watching the events unfold and cheering them on. (Well, Sebek’s the one shaking Silver and loudly shouting declaring that he’s SO dense. “THIS HAPPENED IN ONE OF MY BOOKS,” he excitedly tells his fellow knight.) Lilia is the amused guardian who offers advice and gives little nudges when needed. The animals… they’re the nosy neighbors who gossip about their relationship and sometimes act as wingmen. Maybe the birds sing to set the mood or they fetch flowers for Silver to give as gifts. It could even be something as simple as the birds talking positively about Silver and hyping him up whenever they hang out with Raven (she’s fluent in avian languages)!

Ok, even MORE MORE Yasammy headcanons. This one's gonna be a little more lighthearted, but I'm happy everyone is enjoying my more "mature" headcanons, I do have some more ideas for the future, but for this one I'm just gonna jot some things down and you guys can tell me your favorites or what you want more of.

*Yaz was initially hesitant about living in Texas, with the heat, the humidity, the creepy crawly little animals, (scorpions, tarantulas, etc...). But when she told that to Sammy, and Sammy immediately was prepared to move somewhere else with her, Yaz decided to stay.

* Sammy's favorite game is checker's (I'm referring to the actual game, not when the two of them "play checkers", tho she enjoys that as well. Look at my other headcanons if you're confused).

*For their anniversary, Yaz got Sammy a Rottweiler puppy that a shelter had found in a box in the rain. Sammy must have kissed Yaz 46 times she was so excited.

*On the farm they raise animals and vegetables mostly for food for themselves as well as to sell at markets and restaurants. But they always donate to the food bank as well.

*They both took the same knitting class online without the other knowing so they could make Christmas gifts for each other. Sammy made Yaz a sweater with a smiley face, and Yaz made Sammy some mittens with cows on them.

*Yaz is afraid of water, after her whole thing about almost drowning when the scorpius chased her (and almost drowning in Ben's van). So Sammy got her a rubber duck floaty, like those things that go around your waste in the water, but as a rubber duck. Sammy didn't think Yaz would actually wear it, it was supposed to be a joke, but Yaz wears it proudly every time she goes swimming even after she gets over her fear of water.

I hope you enjoyed these headcanons, if you want me to do more just let me know. Oh, and tell me which one is your favorite

sanji x reader

contents; flashfic. femdom, light bondage (male receiving), mild degradation, fem!reader. this is most certainly not based on some thoughts i had after listening to billy joel’s song (it is). 

Sanji isn’t in a state to remember how he got here. Tied up to a chair with one of his favourite ties—started cherishing it a little more than the others ever since you left those lipstick stains on it, one balmy night behind the barrels, red ink on fabric tracing the seal of your arrangement. He looks up to you in anticipation and awe. Teary and pretty and absolutely fucking intoxicated. On his lips lingers the memory of your chapstick and the wine you emptied together moments ago. He runs the tip of his tongue across them to latch onto this vicious craze you've been taking him through. But a knot forms in his throat when you suddenly place your shoe—that formidable pair of stilettos he brought you for what he insisted on calling an anniversary—at the base of his crotch. 

“To think I wouldn't notice that you actually gifted me these to please that wretched mind of yours,” laughter vibrated somewhere in your throat. “You're so cute. And selfish.” 

“S-sweetheart,” he manages. “You k–”

“Oh, don't act so surprised like you wouldn't cum your pants just by hearing them stomp from afar,” you draw yourself closer. “It’s time we took them for a real test drive, now isn’t it, kitten?” 

“You know I'm crazy about you,” it comes out as a plea.

Your smile is small, entertained. “You sure are,” you say, nail eating into Sanji's chin the same way you further press the sole of your shoe against his crotch.  “But you're more crazy about the thought of having a woman step on you.”

Atonement. Sanji knows better than to call it otherwise, not when you look at him with such determination, with that caustic glimmer in your eye like a knife at his throat. You wouldn’t sell him off to a deeper level of hell, but if that made you take the role of his executioner he wouldn’t mind being ruined and put all back together by your hands. 

His cock throbs under your shoe, and you can’t help but huff out a chuckle as soon as it does. Once, twice, thrice before you can see the stains, too, beads of sweat rolling off Sanji’s cheek. 

“I pretty much remember telling you this before,” you croon, tasting the salt on his bottom lip. “But you’re a pathetic man, Sanji.”

“And still,” he says. His mouth coils into a languid smirk. “You keep sticking to me like no other.”

CROWLEY HEADCANONS (again all in good fun) (REALLY BUCKLE UP)

1) Fidgets with his fingers, like pulling on them/ twisting them.

2) masking autistic (Before you say "OH WELL HES A DEMON HE CANT BE AUTISTIC!!" Neil himself said all angels and demon were neurodivergent) he doesn't know and started masking after his fall.

3) secretly likes to read, and has favorite books that he's reread a thousand times, he'd never tell Aziraphale though.

4) used acid in the 60s and moved to weed in the 70s, now he only drinks with an occasional cigarette.

5) bites his nails, hates that he does it but can't stop

6) buys little gifts for Aziraphale, little things that remind him of zira, or something he pointed out once, Aziraphale loves them all.

(The next 2 might be triggering)

7) Self harms via cutting, he saw someone do it once and he ended up really relying on it.

8) was bulimic for a while, technically I know his corporation doesn't need food, and idk if he can gain weight, but I think it became more of a self punishment thing.

(Back to normal ones sorry for the angst!)

9) hates doctor who because he thinks* God intentionally made a human who looks just like him play a character up in the stars to spite him. (*doesn't actually think that but hates it how well it lines up nonetheless)

10) was personal friends with eve, and regrets that he had to tempt her to the first sin

11) alot of "catholic' guilt, after the ineffable divorce I think he started to pray again, even if kneeling in a church burnt his shins and the bottom of his feet.

12) genderfluid, but let's be honest this one's Canon

That's all for now SORRY I KNOW ITS CRINGE BUT I DONT CARE BITE ME

-LOTS OF LGBTQIA+ rep! Including but not limited to: mlm rep, wlw rep, non-binary/non-conforming rep - and the best part about it? It’s casually brought up! It’s normalized! Not even the villains or shitty parents show an OUNCE of homophobia or transphobia!

-There are humans in these books! And POC rep!

-women in leading/strong roles :3

-different continents!

-different tribes of dragons each sharing similar traits depending on their habitat!! NOT JUST RANDOMIZED DRAGONS EVERYWHERE ALL MIXED TOGETHER WHERE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHO CAN DO WHAT!!

-Each book features a map of the continent it’s set on, a description of the dragons of each tribe living on that continent (including looks, powers, diet, affiliation in war depending on the book, and current Queen) and a page for the prophecy the book fixates around (different for each arc)

-Three arcs, each solving a different conflict but STILL IN THE SAME PLOT!!

of flowers and petticoats

Raphael x Tax is the main ship but this mainly features platonic Astarion x Tav

· · ──────  ❊  ────── · ·

They’ve been doing this for hours. Her forehead glistens with sweat and her legs threaten to give out at any moment. If they keep up this pace, it won’t be long before she is a goner.

“Ouch!” Tav cries out as the needle pierces her skin and a lone drop of blood runs down the side of her arm. The seamstress glances up, horror in her eyes, and breaks down into a flurry of apologies. She hurries out of the room, promising to return with gauze to stem the blood flow.

Astarion, lounging in the armchair with a book in his hands, perks up at the sight of her distress, suddenly interested in the scene playing out in front of him.

“Darling,” Astarion says the moment the door closes, looking at her up and down. “This isn’t the one.”

“I like it,” she says in defense of the dress, touching the fabric of the lacy, flowing sleeves while being careful not to disrupt the pins. “It’s my wedding, after all.”

The fact that this even had to be said was absurd.

“It’s an outdoor wedding in Tuscany,” he emphasizes the word, as if she needed a reminder. “And you look like you’re going to haunt some poor peasant family.”

A sigh of pure exhaustion leaves her lips. This was the third dress she tried on, and all of them have failed miserably to impress her current company, or herself, for that matter.

“You seem a little stressed, love.” Graceful as a fox, Astarion crosses the distance between them and leans in to whisper in her ear, his voice laced with promise. “If you'd prefer, we could take an extended break to help you take your mind off the matter…”

She tries to put on a stern face, but her smile betrays her amusement. “Astarion, I’ll be a married woman in just three weeks.”

“So what? I’m sure Raphael would understand. Think of it as your version of a bachelorette party.” His hot breath tickles her ear and she shivers in anticipation in spite of herself.

“You’re incorrigible,” Tav scolds, shaking her head.

“Don’t act so outraged. Why else would you’ve specifically requested my presence today—”

“Because none of my girl friends have the patience?” she offers.

“—if not for this?” His finger traces her collarbone, all the way down to her cleavage. The touch is slow, deliberate… and entirely devoid of passion, as one would expect from long-term friends.

“I can barely move around as it is.”

This wasn’t all a lie. Even raising her arms was proving too tall a task, let alone doing anything else.

“Your loss,” Astarion finally concedes, throwing up his hands in the air and returning to his chair; his voice never losing its playful lilt. “You can make it up to me in other ways. Like answering my questions, for one.”

There’s a wicked gleam in his eyes when she catches his gaze in the mirror. She braces herself for the worst.

“So, is our mutual friend a good lover? He definitely looks the part.”

Tav does her best to mask her hesitation, but like blood on the floor, he picks up its scent nonetheless.

“Oh,” is all he has to say.

“It’s nothing like that,” she tries to make up for her blunder, to no avail. It’s complicated, she wanted to tell him.

“Say no more.”

Glad to let the subject drop, she turns her attention to her reflection in the mirror.

It was no surprise that Raphael took on the burden of wedding planning. But his methods could be… overwhelming. Everything had to be perfect: from the wedding venue and the canapés served to the music played at the reception (his own compositions, incidentally enough). Tav had no doubt that her list of potential guests would be returned with several names crossed out.

“I made up my mind. This is the one. If he doesn’t like it, well… trust him to buy another.”

“Hm. I suppose there’s some charm to it. A gift ready to be unwrapped.” He gestures with both his hands, as if tracing her curves. The dress flared at the top before narrowing at the hips, which left very little to the imagination. Better keep this in mind before stuffing her face full of wedding cake.

She arches an eyebrow at him. “But I thought you hated it?

“I was only playing devil’s advocate. Now, I assume you’ve set aside enough time in your schedule today to buy the rest of the outfit?”

For several moments, she can only stare at him in confusion as he leans in to pop a candy into his mouth. What else could she have missed?

She still had to schedule hair and makeup for the big day, not to mention sort out some last pending details for their Caribbean honeymoon. She isn't cut out for this job. When it came to party planning, she was as helpless as a floundering baby in the middle of the ocean. How other women took joy in this experience was a complete mystery to her.

“Oh gods, darling… the lingerie! What else could it be? Arguably the most important part of all. There’s a reason there’s a store just down the street.”

Maybe she would be a goner after all.

Happy Valentines, Akira. Happy Valentines, Asshole.

If you can’t read what Akechi’s secondary inner-dialogue says cause I obscured it too much behind his regular dialogue, here’s a transcription in panel order: Hello, you fucking- Ah- Hello, Akira! Fuck off, why should I tell you- Just a soda- there’s a new flavor.

I don’t want your shitty gift. Oh- haha! You’re so sweet.

I hope I choke. They’re lovely, thank you.

Like hell. Likewise. There’s no way it’s just a coincidence. Still though, it’s a funny coincidence.

I purposefully tried to keep it short. it was a challenge and it still ended up being 3 pages. but i blame my canvas size #also in case u can't see what akira is holding out to akechi: theyre chocolate covered strawberries on sticks! #i saw them irl and was like oh god i want those. i am going to project that feeling on my favorite characters so help me god #and now! here we are! but my shitty-ass coloring & line quality make it hard to discern them so. sorry about that lmaooooo #ANYWAY i don't do enough post-maruki stuff so. i made this one a little bittersweet. :) #why did i put akechi's scarf in a bow? honestly i dont know! i think i saw some art a while ago that did that too and i thought it was cute #well. plus i guess there's the symbolism of 'akechi being alive and reciprocating your feelings (however involuntarily) IS a gift' part #hence that hes wrapped up in a bow. like a present. :) #also god. the first panel is supposed to be akechi's reflection in a vending machine window. I could NOT get it to look right #so for reference!!! just so you guys understand!!!!!! thats what that panel is supposed to be!!! he is NOT in fact a ghost. (sigh) #hope you enjoyed and had a lovely valentines!! for my part i have eaten nothing but sweets today and hoo boy will that have been a mistake #ALSO in terms of the audience-participation comic...hopefully coming soon. if i can ever gain the will to draw it. #but at least tumblr has polls now so i can do the audience-choose-y bit without needing to use a separate website! so thats good i guess #anyway anyway anway thanks for listening to me ramble if you made it this far! have a lovely rest of your day and hopefully see u again soon

What are some ttrpg's on your game wish list? Ones that you'd want to play or plan to play (or maybe don't have time to). also as a side note your love for ttrpg's fills me with a lot of joy and reminds me why they're so special! : )

Inevitable: COWBOY KNIGHTS TRAGEDY this is number one i wanna play this so bad with a crew who will watch a few anti-westerns and arthurian films beforehand and fully commit to the tragedy aspect (big bold decisions if you know it ends in tragedy!) oh my god this specific flavor of game appeals to me a little too specifically

some kind of horror game. VTM, Curse of Strahd, Shadow of the Demon Lord, Call of Cthulhu, whatever lends itself to horror well. the horror genre is one of my favorites and i would so be down to play some good horror!!

MASKS as a PC!

and always more dnd.

uhhh I'm sure there would be other things but I don't know many ttrpgs off the top of my head. quite like ttrpgs. would very much like to play more. especially with a group of artists who will post dodoles and songs that remind them of characters and talk about them throughout the week and do psychological deep dives and theorize about the story and themes and and and

#ask biji #ttrpgs #i wanna play something with some Consequences Mechanics #or mechanics that spur the players/characters into bold choices!! #if yall have ttrpgs you like please recommend them to me #i wanna play more things so i can grab all the things i like from them #can you do good horror in dnd? does horror not require a little more of a sense of powerlessness? #i think horror ttrpgs need more consequence mechanics maybe #artist groups are great but i realize i am also biased because all the rp groups i made in the past had an artist lean #everyone in my dnd group draws and it's a huge plus yum yum yum #maybe it's because the extra time spent drawing characters that leads to more intensity?? i dunno but i think that's my problem/gift haha #oh and on Inevitable i don't think committing to the tragedy means it's all sad and dower all the time #it should be fun and funny but you know. the inevitable... yeah #i just want some cowboys to have philosophical conversations around a campfire and getting their clothes stolen while bathing in the river

Lynnie Green was and still is a fan of Bea- she refers to herself as an 'acolyte' in an interview I listened to. She was a fan even before getting on the show, she followed Bea's theater career closely. She's also talked about how (I can't remember which appearance) at the end of filming Bea said she was going for a drink (I think they shared a dressing room) and how she regrets that Bea was obviously offering to take her out on the town and she was so, like, in awe that she fumbled it and she regrets it to this day because she wanted to cross that bridge from acolyte to confidant and thinks they could've been great friends. She's also said Bea kept in touch with her after filming and would always greet her warmly when they ran into each other or offer her tickets to some shows a few times over the years. OH and she's a lesbian, happily married to her wife (just found this out at the last Golden Con). she rocks, basically.

Anon, oh my god. The amount of incredible information you have given me.

First of all -- Lynnie referring to herself as an acolyte of Bea is incredible. Honestly wish I'd been able to follow Bea's career as closely as Lynnie did, if only for the chance to call myself her acolyte.

The story about Bea inviting her out for a drink and her fumbling the invitation is so relatable, oh my god. Can you imagine, getting to work with someone you admire so much? No -- getting to impersonate her?? And then she invites you out for a drink??? I would have died on the spot. Holy shit. Absolutely incredible. I'm so sorry for her that she didn't get to become Bea's friend but honestly I completely get her panic!

And Bea -- I know by now that she was a complete sweetheart, but this information just melts my heart!!! She kept in touch with her? She was warm to her and sent her tickets to her shows??? Oh ;-; what a sweet lovely person she was!!! I'm forever mad I didn't get the chance to see her in person! What a blessing upon this world!!

And on top of all this, on the first day of pride month, you come and tell me Lynnie is a happily married lesbian?? Anon you have made me so happy. So so so happy. Thank you so much!!! You're absolutely right, she rocks!

#a victory for lesbians everywhere!!! this pride month has begun so well my heart is full <3 #no wonder young!dorothy has such lesbian energy!! (i say as if dorothy normally doesn't lmao) absolutely amazing news!!! #so happy for her and her wife <3 many happy wishes for them!!! #@hecatesbroom did mention she was a fan of bea! no wonder she knew her style and mannerisms so well! #that dressing room story is so relatable to me lmao i get her so much the poor darling #like. the mere *idea* of getting to have a drink with bea arthur... oh my god.......... #i've been meaning to ask the community what golden cons are exactly but im pretty sure they're held in the us #so they're a bit inaccessible to me atm #i bet they're a lot of fun!! #anon THANK YOU so much for sending this ask. you made my night!!! #and once again: everybody say THANK YOU lynnie greene!!!! #i hope she knows we all find her incredible talented showstopping beautiful legendary a true gift and (now) also a wonderful person #(you know. sometimes i wonder what bea betty and rue would have thought of our little fandom space here #i've seen them talk of their gay fans with appreciation but i've never seen them talk about their *lesbian* fans #i like to think they would have been flattered to have such devoted fans!) #the golden girls #ask

i do think its kinda funny when i see someone in the year of our lord 2024 talk about vocal synth music like its all gone downhill since like 2010 because like dont get me wrong i love a good niconicodouga-ass 2008 ass vocaloid joint BUT also like. the past couple years have had the most fascinatingly creative and expressive uses of vocal synthesizers ive ever heard in my life DJFSKHJDFS dont write it all off just yet!!

#usually i only see that from people who havent actually listened to any vsynth music from the past 15 years so i understand why they got to #that conclusion. and also usually theyre people who didnt listen to much vsynth music in the first place LOL they just dont know #but it is still a little funny. brother there are things beyond your wildest dreams if u just look #like some personal highlights: the stuff by rinri - particularly their use of the meika girlies #dont carry our memories away is LIFECHANGING the whispers. the spoken parts. the BELTS #plus the haunting and unrelenting instrumentation. fantastic song #and naisho no pierced's propose + birthday + gift sort of trilogy of songs. gift especially has been unreal #again the dynamics of soft intimate whispers to belts but also those fuller high notes with edges of growlyness. #plus the songs just generally rock. and those LYRICS. absolutely intense like physically painful and frightening like #yearning and codependency and possession. and the tuning and production just amps it up more #OH and slave.v.v.r has been doing crazy things for even longer but i only started getting into his stuff recently and holy shit #love eater is like. the scariest vocaloid song ive ever heard not because of the lyrics. but because of the tuning #im like. scared. i cant stop listening to it. the heavy synthesized breathy main vocals and whispered harmonies plus the VOCAL FRY #i didnt realized vocaloid5? i think? has a vocal fry option built in i heard? thats crazy #but specifically in love eater the fry and growl is amped up so deep and loud and clear compared to everything else it like #emphasizes the artificiality of the voice while also amping up the expressiveness #its awesome. and on the older slave.v.v.r songs i heard i will hit you 8759632145 times with this piano. also so fucking cool #addicted to that song. 1) its a great jazzy rocky piano tune with this piano flourish at the end of each phrase that sounds fantastic #but also 2) the lyrics are insane. using kanji to write english?????? #people are doing wild ass things with vocal synths rn you guys #this isnt even getting into some of the really unique synths themselves too. adachi rei is awesome i love that shes just like #the perfect inbetween of sample based and reconstruction based vocals. shes a sample based synth #but her samples were drawn by hand LOL shes like dectalks granddaughter to me..... #a really good use of adachi rei is iyowa's heat abnormal/heat anomaly/whatever its called ITS AWESOME thats what it is hjrkfdgfd #i think the fact that vocal synths can be so realistic and clean and noiseless out the gate now has made people really stop worrying #about like. realism all together and looking more into expressiveness. omg vocal synth modernist movement

the chances of the people seeing this aren't super likely so this is highly inefficient but i'm too afraid to approach people personally…. yet i've been burning with the need to express my gratitude for the tags i've received individually somehow and figured, i could do it the way i do best. in the tags 😅

(sorted by most recent) (i capped the limit hard here) (some ✂️✂️ had to be done 😔) (i still like this format a lot though) (might do this again in the future idk would people like that??) (i hope it's not mortifying for anyone……..)

it's sorta the way i like it, indirect and unimposing, even if it's kinda. wieldy. but it's just on my blog so anything goes right? although in saying that, i am open to being imposed on. like if someone wants to talk about aci or something, like other fic?? i'm a big fic fiend. or anything else lol not sure what else you'd wanna chat about since so much of the stuff i've put out is just. about fic. but hey, if you're a person i don't mind being approached :>

daydreaming about Percy in romantic relationships. him not knowing what to do when it comes to casual affection though he wants to show it desperately. Thinking about the safer he feels with someone, the more physically affectionate he becomes. Thinking about little kisses on the top of his partner's head, the back of their hands, the tips of their fingers.

also thinking about how some days, he can't handle being touched. The thought of someone being in his space being a devastating concept. But still wanting to coexist with his partner & share verbal affection. I have so many thoughts on this that I'm gonna get my teeth into when I get home

#ooc. #tbd. #i also have always been presching that his first step into affection is pebbling #little ' oh this made me think of you' gifts #one of my friends over @ whalefelled and i also talked abt the gift giving being almost a competion between him and vex sometimes #sighing so dreamily #mobile.

dont get mad at me this is a subjective opinion but like. like i enjoy stardew a lot and this is by no means a criticism, more of like. just a Wish.

I want a game very similar to stardew valley in terms of play and "difficulty" but animated/artstyle like, botw.

#toy txt post #if anyone gets on my ass about this i will turn reblogs off so fast im just wishing and this isnt even hating on the artstyle of stardew #more. wishing i could further customize the house and grow crops in botw or totk #you can do more house customization in totk but its still not enough also my house in totk is like. maxmimum number of buildings #which i cant remember? but its that many of just fish ponds stacked on top of each other in a spiral and then every blood moon i get that #many free easy sanke carp #anyway the point is i really loke both games and i dont hate the artstyle of stardew. but its not like my favorite? #also sorry for making this post more disclaimers than opinion at this point i just really want to get it across that i Like Stardew Valley #and i likw the artstyle and this is not like a call to action on the dev or a demand or anything it is me daydreaming about a game that #doesnt exist. also if i had the controls i have in botw maybe i wouldnt be getting mugged in the mines so much #also im a fake gamer so i dont know all the right terms but i know there are like Other Games that have like the exploration vibe and #probably the ability to customize a house and give gifts to ppl and shit however all the ones im thinking of......... #to be clear here when i say art like botw i dont just mean like oh expensive 3d rendering and all that shit. like a little but like #CRUCIALLY. NOT AIMING FOR REALISM. it (DAYDREAM GAME MADE UP) needs to be stylized bc #listen i was being nice w the sv i dont hate the stardew valley style. im not going to be nice here: i fucking despise games trying to look #like real life and real life ppl every single one ive ever seen is uncanny valley to me EVEN DESPITE the many advancements they have made. #i recognize theyve made a lot of advancements. and i recognize this is also a subjective opinion i hold. but i just think all the ones ive #ever seen are so fucking ugly stop trying to capture the realism just lean into some stylization please im begging youuu #the worst part is there are games whos premise i would probably find interesting? but theyre so fucking ugly im not spending over $40 on #that shit ESPECIALLY if it has the audacity to be first person pov #i can maybe be tricked into it in this regard if its heavily ocean centric. i can be bribed with ocean
