#regardless of what i intended for them

[raiiny-bay]

i don't have any control over my characters. they simply do what they want & tell me about it later

#alternatively: they don't tell me shit #i'm left to figure everything out on my own in a moment of sudden epiphany as i reread a story years after i wrote it #prime example: dhes is a bit of an insomniac. #i only realized this within the last maybe... 2 years #but when i go back & read stories from 10+ years ago #the boy is never asleep!! #i regularly wrote scenes in which he was awake at 4 am & couldn't get to sleep #same with jax being an introvert or marky being ace or bow being a perfectionist etc. etc. like #all of these traits have been there since the beginning #i just didn't necessarily have a name for them #i can never write a character to be a certain way bc they will always without fail do whatever the fuck they want #regardless of what i intended for them #they're literally their own people. i'm just here to write everything down for them #rainyrambles

having the hc that minato is ace is incredibly funny sometimes when you think about how ryoji is oh so very bi because it's like. "ah. death stole my ability to be attracted to people," in the same way that ryoji stole minato's eye color and energy level. like wow, thanks ryoji, you just keep finding things to steal from minato!

#persona 3 spoilers #minato arisato #hc and au nonsense #lizzy speaks #happy international asexuality day to my fellow aces out there i hope you know that you are loved!!! 🎊🎉🥳 #i like viewing minato with the lens of him being gay / ace. esp bc it stems from my own experiences so it's fun to look at- #him from that perspective even if that's not what was intended by atlus y'know? #and im sure others have other hcs from me that are informed by their own life experiences and i think that's great ^_^ #something that i found interesting while playing FES was how. stilted? minato's animations felt when hugging the girls #you could definitely go with the perspective that it's a graphical limitation or they didn't have time to polish the animations #and that's def true!! but sometimes i see the hug @ yakushima beach + the other hugs and then i compare it to the sou/yo hug in p4 #and there's like... a noticeable difference to me with how intimate and close together the hugs are... #that said i do know that the animations for reload are updated and the hugs are much more natural (good on them tbh!) #the other thing is (pensive sigh). the way you couldn't reject any of the girls when doing their social links in FES #objectively speaking i'm glad that they did away with that and i like how the rejections were handled in reload. it feels naturally written #but also a part of me enjoyed looking at the “hey atlus what the FUCK” moment and thought of how to interpret it differently #specifically with the idea of minato having like.. little to no autonomy and kind of going along with the relationship #it kind of reminded me of myself tbh with like going along with the rship without considering what you want bc #it's what others want or expect out of you... LOL. i dont think atlus intended for someone to interpret it this way but #eh i think that's the fun part of hcs and looking at characters with certain lenses! #regardless of how you perceive minato i do think there's something to be said about him being the kind of guy who molds himself- #into someone that is needed. not wanted. but needed. important distinction here. #the one caveat my brain runs into when im like “minato is ace!” is when i remember thanatos exists and i go #“you know what these ideas can exist simultaneously” GKLHFHDFHD when in doubt schrodinger's headcanons #anyway that's all i've had this thought in my brain in awhile and haven't sat down to share it properly until now 👍 #have an excellent weekend everyone !!! lizzy loves you all lets all nurture our inner yippee!!! 🥺💙

Back on the Wyll/Halsin train (i never got off), but I'm thinking now in context with Halsin's initial romance "ending" where he makes the assumption that their paths are diverging because the hero of the Realms likely has a whole handful of better things they need to do and places they need to be, and he has his own goals to achieve, and that he will wait with bated breath with eyes on the horizon until they see each other again, etc.

And in the context of Wyll, who genuinely *might* have something important for him to take care of in Baldur's Gate (ex. Becoming Duke), it adds that additional layer of Halsin being considerate of how leadership can often be isolating (by what he thinks may be necessity judging by how he approached it) - it's that longing, romantic bittersweetness of plays and epics - just like the songs -making it all the more surprising when Wyll laughs and tells him no actually, he's going to follow after him. When he stammers about babies to be kissed and all that, it's a genuine shock, because Wyll is not *only* the hero of the Gate but potentially its newest political leader to boot - he *does* have far more important things potentially to be doing. Yet he chooses to go after him and rebuild - he decides to start anew.

It all slots together very well.

#BG3 Musing #wyllsin #playing wyll origin with halsin romance just cements for me that wyll is the main character intended tbh #i'm not sure if this makes sense but what i'm saying is i can merge these romance paths #same thread applies to the karlach avernus path in that wyll loves someone so much he'd give up his beloved gate for them #regardless of anything #because in the end bg really isn't his home anymore and hasn't been for years #and now he's found a new one in people

sweet sweet re:kinder community... I would like to ask y'all how you came upon the game and your experiences with it because i wanna know. im genuinely so curious to hear about other people's experiences and little opinions about this game because of how wild the game is (/pos) I'd love to hear it. do ramble to me about it

#re:kinder #not art #so in my case i once saw someone talk about it in a video and some scenes with the very vague context really struck with me #i was like wow...that is so sad... i wonder what goes on #but the thing is i watch videos talking about games like that ALLL THE TIME while im multi-tasking so i FORGOT FOR A YEAR?!?!? #until one day i was sick in pain on my bed could not move. and then it came to me. yes. “RE:KINDER. I SHOULD PLAY IT.” LIKE OUT OF NOWHERE #i will never understand how i dying of pain remembered a game i saw once BY NAME AT LEAST A YEAR LATER when jve heard of so many games #and you wanna know why it stuck with me. i saw in the video an image of the “as if id be reborn as a princess” line #i did not know the context but it was devastating #AND WHEN I PLAYED THE GAME when that scene game i was shocked to silence😭😭 BECAUSE I BASICALLY WENT COMPLETELY BLIND?? #I DID NOT KNOW THE LITTLE KID WOULD BE THE ANTAGONIST???? AND THAT HE WOULD HAVE SUCH A SAD STORY?? #like. i saw the sad coming i knew it was bound to happen yet i could have never been prepared for how hard it would hit me #I HAD TONS OF FUN but at first when i finished it i was so confused and so lost i was like welll.....what a game... TOO STUNNED FOR WORDS #then i thoughr of it for 20 minutes and bawled my eyes out and realized it was art #so when i got to my second playthrough i CRIED LIKE CRAZYYY😭😭 I WAS BLOWN AWAY IT REALLY HITS YOU #personally it admittedly hit close to home and while it made me bawl my eyes out it was also very comforting i felt very understood #AND IT WAS CRAZY FUN TOO i was not bored once the first time i played through it i was sleepy but i was so excited to keep playing😭😭 #its funnt becayse i was initially apprehensive about playing cuz im sensitive to stories where sad things happen to kids #but i played it regardless because i was like “but what if its one of those scary media that hit close to home and i enjoy” #AND I WAS RIGHT. BUT NOT ENTIRELY BECAUSE I DID NOT THINK IT WOULD HIT AS INTENSELY AS IT DID😭😭 IT WAS MYCH MORE THAN EXPEVTED #many ways in which it impacted me but if i started listing them i would not shut up . so for now it is enough #IN SUMMARY WOW.. WHAY A GOOD GAME!! PLAY RE:KINDER!!! #i rambled more than i intended to i do apologize

[rosemi]

#x #indie #unnämed #i'll tag this later but it really is amazing how much they've accomplished over a year #and knowing that they intended to stop after a year does not surprise me. #there's always been a.... shall we say facet? of the lore that would imply they'd only be here for a short time. #and honestly that's fine. regardless of what happens i'm glad that we got to meet u-san. #and i hope they can keep doing amazing things for as long as it makes them happy

Sometimes I want to read my friends' fics bc like... friends! Their fics! But then like... my brain reminds me the only fic I read is dmcl.

#DCB Comments #i have the desire to read my friends' fics but my interests are so strict abt it!!! #i mean there's one other ship i am considering reading fic for but it's not even fe #other than that i don't even read tellius fics bc tbh the only tellius fics i would read #would be shinaff and i and like maybe five other ppl tops even ship it so that's just #not happening out of its lack of existence LOL. sadge. #but like... what i write does not equal what i can read. i only seem to have the drive to actually /read/ dmcl #also one of my biggest issues with tellius fics is similar to the lorenz issue #i don't trust most ppl to correctly characterize shinon. with lorenz ppl don't actually #write him in character most of the time. he's written with clear and intended disdain from almost every writer i've ever seen write him #with shinon i completely do not trust that anyone except like me and five other ppl don't just #ignore all his character traits and all the facets of his personality. most ppl reduce him to what they WANT him to be #and not what he actually is. nobody EVER writes abt his care for children. his generosity toward his friends #how he canonically returned to the GMs and stuck by them regardless of where they went/what they did #how he - having been poor all his life by inference of dialogue - does what he can to stop them from being poor #he could leave at any time with his skills and get work anywhere he wanted. he doesn't bc he grew out of that desire #once he felt he had a place he truly fit in with. nobody writes him as the complex human being he canonically is written as #he's just ''the asshole who doesn't like ike'' and we know what the other part is that i won't get into #or we will be here for another few hours of me debunking ppl's bullshit. but yeah. shinon is basically like #the central reason i do not touch tellius fics with a thousand foot pole. i don't trust ANYONE with him unless i already know you #and that even if you don't like him i can at least trust you'd still write him in character and not just as #the obvious character you only wrote in to bash. even reading dmcl is difficult when i can tell the writer #doesn't give a shit abt writing lorenz in character and just uses him to be annoying and shit #aside dmcl being a hyperfixation yeah... that's some reasons why i do not read other fics #not that that is related directly to my friends' writing - that's bc my brain lightbulb only turns on with dmcl content #also why i have not read gautier content. i think it's changing now but like in general #the vast majority of the fandom i do NOT trust to actually understand miklan's character/story/motivations #bc he's basically just tossed aside as the pure evil villain who uwu hurt sylvain #i think myself and some other miklan lovers have helped fix that a bit with hopes' help #but i've loved miklan since before hopes came out so that's why i never bothered trusting gautier content either

[nattikay]

really just saw some commenters saying “the Sims 4 werewolves look too much like furries!! They should fix this by giving them wolf legs instead of human legs!!”

...like....ma’am....that would...that would make them more furry

#sims 4 #if there's one thing I've learned browsing reactions to this pack (no pun intended) #it's that no one has a proper grasp on what furries are #(...oh who am I kidding I already knew that to some degree) #i'll go ahead and say it again: furries are anthropomorphic animals aka animals with human characteristics #(and/or people who like the concept of such) #guess what werewolves are? yup. wolves with human characteristics #(or I guess humans with wolf characteristics. but whatever it's a human/wolf mix regardless) #the only way to make a werewolf NOT look like a furry would be to go the hairy human route #which as I posted the other day looses almost all the wolf-ness and therefore just don't read as much as ''werewolves'' to me #just hairy hangry dudes #apparently some people prefer that which. i mean whatever u do u but that's baffling to me lol #don't get me wrong I would be all for adding digi legs as an option (and tails!!!) #it just boggles my mind that people think that'd make them ''less furry'' lol #y'all clearly know diddly squat about furries we love digi legs here haha

[noritaro]

I wanna be able to disable seeing content warnings when i click on peoples toyhouse profiles

#rambles #some people dont even use it how its intended #they just tell others to not steal their stuff #which is understandable #but thats not a content warning #also i never read them anyways i can handle every single form of fiction regardless of what it is

[gayofthefae]

People judge actions based on reactions and Mike is a prime example. He is a very hated character right now but consider this

Season 1: Mike said to El (twice, I believe) "What is wrong with you!" She ran off hurt but returned within a couple episodes. (People often like to parallel him saying this in season 4 to the cliff scene when he didn't but forget the times he did. He didn't get worse or more hypocritical you just picked bad examples). I don't remember him directly apologizing for this, though he did validate that she was not a monster and he did not see her as such and that could be counted for one of these instances.

He is widely forgiven and even forgotten for this.

Season 4: Mike initiates an attempt to understand and console El. When confronted, he cannot say I love you but tries to say everything else he can to make her feel better. She is crying, speaking poorly of herself, and angrily throws letters while confronting him. After many episodes apart (which he spends brainstorming how to fix things and she spends not bringing it up once) he apologizes to her in full, hitting every point and taking full responsibility, at the soonest opportunity.

He is widely antagonized for this.

#mike wheeler defense squad #mike wheeler defender #mike wheeler #stranger things #he was not ill intended in not saying that to el and i feel that's the only logical reason one could hate him for how he handled it #his behavior with will seeming to becoming a pattern IS concerning #but it's arguably better to demonstrate that when you inevitably fuck up you will handle it quickly and well by taking full responsibility #regardless of forgiveness status rather than to pretend you are and always will be perfect #all he's done is show he can remain calm and understanding in conflict with el #and show that when he doesn't he can take responsibility for that and is a good apologizer (which not a lot of people are. he took full res #onsibility gave an explanation AND validated him against what he had said) #like literally wtf more do people want #i told my best friend people hated on him and she was so surprised when he apologized and texted me super confused bc the hate i told her #about made her think that he wouldn't be redeemed from that rather than literally fixing like a day later #and then spending the rest of the season trying to fix the other thing #like bro what #he made a mistake he made last year and a mistake he would have made all the way back in season 1 #and he dealt with them super well in contrast to previously not having consequences in one instance and not fully apologizing when he was #forgiven in the other #and he's bad NOW #but was perfect THEN #ok

[lokh]

jesus. i regret clicking on that

#listen.... what little of one piece fandom ive interacted with has been perfectly happy to refer to yamato as he/him. #so seeing the OTHER part................... my god. #i feel kind of the same way i do on this as i do with sheik which is like........... when the character intends for you to refer to them #one way then u stick with it. like yea thats a fictional character #but like. irl. if someone says they want u to refer to them a certain way #like.... u respect that LMAO regardless of whatever u Think they ''really feel'' #also clearly these people don't know what he/him lesbians are. pronouns are made up #like WHAT is the problem come on #some of these fucking takes man...... #ohhhhhh yamato just wants to be a specific man. ok #thats why yamato deciiiiiiiided to be a man. i think thats a good enough reason tbh LMAO #u can just decide that. gender is fake

[usurp3r]

Unlikely encounter.

#or It takes a liar to know one #They would never meet. Which is good. But I will draw them together regardless #Para (OC) #Gomer (OC) #Original Art #Digital Art #I intended to make this a funny little sketch but ended up working on this for 2 days #^Para is fucking astonished at seeing someone massively taller than themself. Gomer is just walking home from grocery shopping #Same look also because I just dress my OCs in what I wear when they're in casual settings #And I thought it's funny when it's basically the same outfit down to the colours

The idea that Connor is somehow more machine than other androids but all he knew of the world around him were those life and death situations. The only empirical evidence he could collect about his own kind were those crime scenes, the victims. He didn’t get the full untainted picture of how any of the deviants reached that place of desperation past those final moments. The timeline of the game is short. Connor gets out into the world and finds the truth quickly. 

#* ooc. #i have nothing to do here so you get my connor rambles like it or not 😂 #and if you buy cyberlife planning for him to deviate or not... both outcomes go against this idea! #(tbh i see both them not planning and bluffing and planning it i don't feel very strongly about one or the other) #(well i lean more to bluff but. kajdhfhg. he's used regardless) #i really don't think they wanted him to deviate in a week. i think a lot of what they put him through was intended to prevent that.

uwu

#fk #c-cfk #this one pissed me off bc i forgot to give him eye brows but like... now im not so sure he needs em #i think its fine without. its kinda funny as is. #HOWEVER was pissed when i realized i drew him blushing on both sides of his face #had intended not to do that but i did subconsciously. it is what it is #on that topic i went to *n*m*nyc this past friday bc i really wanted that dr*wf** b*bby h*ll charm so god damn bad #i pulled all four with no dupes but i got bobby last lmao #and im honestly happy abt that bc i wanted them all. just bobby the most #regardless thats not my point. my point is i dont sweat on my right side generally seeing as its physcially fucking impossible usually #BUT every now and then my nerves function just a bit and like the Average normal person probably wouldnt be excited about the fact that #they are sweating but let me tell u. i was sweating on my right collar and it was UNCOMFORTABLE and STICKY and GROSS #but also it was GOOD bc i noticeably dont sweat usually. so like. little sign that things Work sometimes over here was nice #THEREFORE my Screwy Little kyle can blush on his right side Occasionally. If the circumstances allow it. #sersiously on that scrungle grind

i don't have enough things to worry about part 2946: i... might be looking... into photocard binders and sleeves... :0

#shrimp thoughts #is this normal or not. i don't know. i got a 18 sleeve fully clear binder but it was just... plastic sheets with slits cut into them so you #can just slide a card in. and in the first couple of sheets some of the slits weren't cut too well so i had to cut them myself and It Shows #plus they're all slippery so if i turned the pages with enough Gusto i could technically send a card or two into orbit. WHICH IS WHY #i'm looking into g*megenic casual 18-pocket album and some inner sleeves to add to that. from what i've seen in a yt review the album #fits double-sleeved mtg cards just fine and mtg cards are the size of japanese photocards (eg my dreamers sangie) #so it should be fine even though i just intend to use the inner sleeves lol. yes i did have a crash course in card collector terminology lo #i only had to see one (1) reddit post about pcv and photocard preservation to go oh no oh wait AM I preserving my cards well. #probably not -> do i have to fix that -> well regardless i have over 150 cards not counting the unofficial ones. and so. therefore. yeap

Another incest piece, at the risk of my asks being filled with very questionable shit. The daughter’s at least 18. I created her so I can make that decision.

C/W: Incest, Rape, Somnophilia (is this the right format?)

It’s alright, baby. Drink as much as you want. I’m here for you. I’ll keep you safe, I promise. Daddy’s not going to let anyone touch you. Well… except myself. Mhm? Nothing, puppet. Drink up now. That’s a good girl. Don’t worry, this will be our little secret while your mother’s out of town. Well, it would be a secret if she hadn’t encouraged me to do this… Nothing, sweetheart, you’re hearing things. Now let’s get you back. You look like you’re half asleep. Honey? Honey?

Oh, you silly little girl. Falling asleep while you’re out drinking with Daddy. Now I’ll have to carry you back. It’s a good thing I’m not one of those evil, perverted men that would ruin your pretty fuckholes, princess. Aww, you sound so cute when you slur your words like that. You sound just like your mother, the first time I raped her. Just go back to sleep, my love. It’ll just be a bad nightmare when you wake up, won’t it?

Now that you’re in bed, let’s see what you have under that dress… Oh my. I didn’t realise my pretty little princess was wearing such adult underwear. Did you know I would be the one taking your dress off tonight? Did you know Daddy would be the one to strip you naked, sweetheart? Is that why you’re wearing that? Aww, you didn’t need to do that for me. I’d fuck you anyway. I’d breed my own daughter regardless of what she wore. 

Oh, fuck. Shit, even when you’re asleep the lips of your cunt kiss my cock perfectly. It’s like… it’s like you were made for me. Oh shit, look at that. Your creamy cunt’s slathering my shaft, even when you have no idea it’s happening. 

I knew you were a pervert, just like your parents.

And what if I… did this- FUCK! Oh fuck, yes. God, you’re even tighter than your whore of a mother when she was your age. God, I don’t think I’m going to last long. I’m using my fucking daughter’s pussy to jack off in. Shit, let’s release these tits. Ugh, you’re perfect. They’re beautiful. God, but they’d look so much better with my cock thrusting between them and your pretty eyes looking up into mine. I’m fucking cumming, princess. I’m so sorry, I can’t help it. Just take it all. Take all of Daddy’s hot seed in your fertile womb, as nature intended. You were designed to be mine from the start.

Perhaps you’ll learn that when you realise your belly and tits are swelling up.

Okay, so a thing about Tolkien's Middle-Earth is that, for elves and other beings of comparable metaphysical stature, the "distance" between an act of will and its tangible result is shorter than it is for mortals. The universe is just more inclined to play along with how they want it to work, which is why they're not lying when they claim not to know what magic is even though the products of their craftsmanship are by any reasonable standard supernatural – they just make stuff, and it works the way it does because that's how they intended it to.

This has a number of fun worldbuilding implications, like inventors having tangible authority over things crafted using their techniques, regardless of who does the actual crafting, because they literally willed the principles which allow those techniques to work into being, or the fact that when powerful beings die, sometimes stuff that depends on techniques they invented stops working. However, there's a bigger implication that that's generally gone unaddressed:

Elves can't do science.

Like, it's straight up impossible. A Tolkien elf cannot construct and carry out a meaningful experiment of any sort – it'll always works the way they expect it to, but only for that particular elf. Confirmation bias is an insurmountable barrier.

I want to read a story about the elf who figures this out and it bothers them terribly.
