dave who learned imitation as a survival method....... dave getting into turntables and music mixing bc thats the one thing he can do with his bro without getting stressed out, getting into swords and ‘cool guy’ things bc when he acts like his bro and impresses him he gets hurt less, learning to act dry and emotionally disconnected from john bc john is well liked among his friends (and he likes john, too), learning to psychoanalyze by imitating rose because rose will back off if he manages to pick at one of HER sore spots for once....... dave realizing he doesnt want to be that person anymore on the meteor but not having any other method of becoming well-liked. dave imitating romcom protagonists to get karkat’s attention, becoming more and more grumpy and animated and dramatic bc of all the time he’s spent around karkat, dave’s dry humor getting more and more developed as he spends more time with rose and kanaya. dave who has a crisis (at least in another timeline) because at age sixteen he’s standing in his childhood bedroom and surrounded by interests he hasn’t pursued in years and sobbing because he doesn’t know who he is without trying to make someone like him. he doesn’t know which interests, if any, were ones he would have had if he’d grown up with a guardian that didn’t hate him, if the world hadn’t ended and if he wasn’t one of the sole survivors dedicating his childhood to creating a new universe, if he’d just been a normal kid.
dave, age sixteen, who has no idea who he is or what he wants from life.

(I feel like Rosie would like, totally see Vaggie jsut being absolutely pathetic during/after the meeting and ask what's wrong-)
Rosie after the chaos meeting: Oh sweetheart, what's wrong?
Vaggie in a squeaky voice: I jsut found out I'm in overlord- i don't know what's going ok- I don't understanddddd
Rosie: oh you poor thing-
Whispering over vaggies head: Alastor, what did you do?? She looks like you just told her you killed her entire family!
Alastor smugly: Hmmm, I think there'd be more screaming and crying if I did that....no, I just told her she was an overlord!
Rosie: true, but Alastor.
Alastor: what!? She wanted to know!
Rosie: Mmm, still you were never good at breaking bad news-
Alastor mumbling to himself: its funny seeing them panic when being told bad things from someone in a calmly :³
Rosie: -Also, you should come visit, the town isn't the same without your lively presence!
Alastor: I'll make sure to mark a day on the calendar! My dear!
Rosie: good good- now, how do we help her calm down she looks liek she's having a panic attack
Pathetic wet cat Vaggie frozen and just trying to process everything
Alastor:...she looks fine to me

I feel like writers, official and fan writers alike, forget how young Jason is, but also that it makes sense that Jason as a character would carry himself as older than he is. When you do the math utrh Jason is like high school senior/college freshman years old doing mob boss shit. Like my brother in christ put that duffle bag down and go get your GED. Barely even old enough to be in the club he needs to take his ass to the homecoming game

i was thinking about your dirk and hal poll and i want to mention that i think your concept for ink and iron where dirk creates hal from his reflection by enchanting a mirror is so cool 😌
thank you! hal's predicament and purpose within the canon narrative is so fascinating and i felt it was really important to find a way to explore what i find most interesting with him. i can't take full credit for the concept though i took inspiration from a few placees (one of my friends pitched the idea of the mirror accidentally dumping him onto jake's doorstop for example) but overall i think the idea is very fun and i'm really excited to write more hal stuff!!! also i'm going to take the opportunity to share this oldish doodle i found:
the mispelling of angel as angle was NOT intentional (<- dyslexia haver) but it probably explains a lot. he's pointy

In The Beginning (Good Omens x FFXIV AU) [1-2/8] [next]
In a land still plagued by the shadows of the Seventh Umbral Calamity, before heroes awakened once more to answer Hydaelyn's call and save the world, two strangers (of sorts) meet in a garden (of sorts).
The original page of scribbles that spawned this AU:
This was supposed to be a one-off thing but I keep coming back to it and. here we are I'm back at it again. The rest will happen when they happen I can make no promises
