The happenings, Tumblr edition

Obviously I am not happy about the prospect of Tumblr going into sunset "guess we'll just let it die" mode (or possibly "Let's sell it to fuck knows who!!"), if that is indeed what is happening. My clinical anxiety needs a lot of things. This is not one of them.

I've been using Tumblr as my primary hangout for pretty much exactly a year now. I am tired of watching platforms enshittify and crumble. Why does this keep happening to us. I am weary.

At the same time, yeah, Twitter is dogshit now, but a year after it got taken over, it is there still. There were some problems on Reddit, but it's thoroughly still there. There was time to figure out some migration for all the good it did.

I worked on essay-type posts and recaps all this year to figure out approximately how many spoons I have and how much I can expect to post a month, before I actually got the Patreon running in October. A solid 1-2 Long Posts a month, it seems like, and maybe more frequently if I do shorter posts. And Tumblr has great opportunities to just keep reblogging and sharing things, sometimes adding comments, so I feel like I'm active even when I'm stuck trying to finish a post of my own.

So now, fuck me, I guess

So I have the Patreon as a way to say, hey, I'm here no matter what else happens, sign up for the ~*free*~ weekend linkspam/check-in, here's what I posted wherever this week, I'll put up some early or extra stuff if you'd like to upgrade to a fancy tier someday. It is truly most important to me for people to just know where I am; you don't have to commit to the $1 or $5 tiers.

But I also want a way to post my writing publicly, so people can, you know, see it. So I'm gonna start mirroring my own longer posts on Dreamwidth, I guess. That's the place I know to go back to.

Hopefully Dreamwidth does not go also down in flames!!!!

I've started archiving some of my work (also from LJ and Twitter) as PDFs in Dropbox. Mostly as a safeguard for myself, but I'll make it a public link on the Patreon.

I would really like to keep up with where people are going, what sites people are going to try to migrate to next, and I'll pass that info on as I get it.

All that said, I think most of us will stay on Tumblr as long as we can, if only for the very unique shoot-the-shit culture it has. Like, people aren't leaving it so much as preparing for the future.

23 ASK! THANK YOU VER MUCH!! :DD🦆

No problem! And when it comes to showing your support? The absolute best way that will make me the most happy is comments.

It doesn't have to be a reblog or an ask like this one. Although it can be. It doesn't have to be a thought out comment complimenting a specific thing in the art piece.

Comments like "I love this!" or "💖💖💖!!" or things like "AKSKAJNCSDJNKVJN" or even "EATING THIS ART RN" are wonderful. You could leave the same generic comment on all of my artwork and flood my notifications, and I would still love and appreciate that more than getting fanart and ending up uncomfortable.

It doesn't have to be thought out, it doesn't have to be on every piece. But if you want more art from me? Remember that the #1 thing I look forward to when I post art, is reading the comments.

Now make no mistake! Foxy IS basically the big brother out of the 6. When it comes to his personality and his relations with the other animatronics.. he was always seen as the cool older brother that always knew what to do and how to cheer you up.

Foxy just gets picked on for being the "little brother" becuase he is shorter and significantly lighter than everyone else. So even little Chica was strong enough to pick him up and swing him around XDD

Also I have no idea how old the animatronics would be.. 💔 I just imagine that Foxy would be one of, if not the oldest!

(Post in question)

Well of course! Cici is indeed also the little creature of all time! The mic was just simply not offered to her- <XDD

@tallchest13-blog

AWWW!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH 😭😭😭💖🥺💖😭😭

@neo-metalscottic

oooo!! :00 Noted! Thank you very much for the info!! :DD

:DDDD PAPYRUS BEST FRIEND!!

I have not seen the new chapter, no.. :(

@taizarack

aaaa I don't know! <:0 I've never played the games so I'm unfamiliar with those characters. Are they well known characters..? Are they evil? Are they friendly? I assume if they're not a threat my crew would be cordial with them..? <:D aaa idk! Sorry!-- (Though speaking of squid ink cookie I have drawn that one before..👀👀)

As for Papyrus, here is the initial post about him that I made.

Then at the bottom of this ask post there's a chunk of important Papyrus lore..

There's another chunk of very important Papyrus lore in this ask post..

There's a couple nuggets of good lore in this post as well..

Then there's this post I made about Frisk finding Papyrus :00

And a few Papyrus nuggets sprinkled in here! Not to mention I discuss more of his story further down in this post! This is all the info I could find on poor Papyrus, I hope this was helpful! :}

@lildiaperboyjake

XD I'm glad you like him! And I'm sure he wouldn't mind a hug! Unlike the canon version, my Funtime Freddy is actually safe to hug!.. For now-

@astahertheelf

:DD Thank you so much!! :}}

As for all the Bibi stuff. You can find everything about him or the rest of the fam under the "#bibi" tag or the "#factual fam" tag on my blog. There's also the "#my ocs" tag and the "#my original stuff" tag :0 though I don't think the latter has much attached to it-

I've been meaning to make a master post for all the Bibi/factual fam stuff but I don't have the headspace to do all that atm-

I thiiink you can eat them?? Probably yeah. I think the lore from the games is that they are literally, actually, living cookies. And they probably taste like the thing they're based on.

Soooo the only one that would taste good is Coconut XDD

XD She is very proud of him

@sparkdrawsstuff

Its all extremely vague, but I kiiind'a have an idea..??

Seafoam and Octo obviously met as little kids. They grew up side by side and when Foam wanted to get a ship and become a pirate? Octo followed him and became his first mate.

At somepoint after they picked up Ellie and Louis. Thiiinking that they knew Ellie before they got the ship and she joined them..? Not sure about Louis..

Now when it was just the four of them. They got caught in a great storm while out at sea. Blue Beauty saw this ship clearly struggling and in danger so she helped guide the ship to calmer waters. It was her help alone that prevented the ship from sinking. She probably secretly followed them around for a while before making herself more known and officially joining the crew.

Uhhhh Pinwheel, Coconut and Tuna were all troubled youths that were taken under Seafoam's/Octo's wing. Not really sure about Spider Crab..? But I'm thinking that he's the medic of the crew. Also not so sure about Cuddle or Urchin.. Though I'm thinking that this isn't Cuddles first rodeo. She could be an experienced pirate that somehow indebted herself to Seafoam..? Maybe once she paid her debt she stuck with the crew because they were neat? Though she seems like the crafty type.. She seems like she'd rather slip away undetected instead of staying to faithfully clear her debts.. Not sure about that one--

And Red is Seafoam's great nephew. He lost his mother/crew in some kind of tragedy which resulted in Seafoam taking him in.. Poor Red :((

XD I did something similar once-

The Afton's do exist. All of them. They are a core part of the AU. :00 Just like in canon! But as for their roles or where they are now or what happened to them... alas, I cannot reveal such things.. :(

As for the Sister Location AU tho--- I'm thinking that William Afton is alive and well and he runs the Circus.. 👀👀👀

Oh man, she dreams of doing so. But Sadly, she is much too large to give him a kiss :(

Unless.. 🤔 If Seafoam somehow grew or she shrank? hmm..

(Post in question)

Yeah, its was interesting.. but not for the reasons you'd think.

Papyrus recognized Seam and Jevil. He addressed them by name. He didn't approach them, seeing as Seam was very tense..

He said that he was happy to see them again. Explained how he worried about them, and was glad to see that they were both ok.

Seam and Jevil both looked like a deer caught in the headlights. If Jevil had the strength to do so, he might have just retreated with a mirror..

Sensing all this, Frisk tells the group Papyrus' story. Some of the group is skeptical, for the same reasons Seam was all that time ago.

But Frisk grantees the group that Papyrus is genuine. She says she has never met a kinder soul before. That no matter what timeline she may choose, genocide, pacifist, neutral.. Papyrus was always full of kindness to his very core. And that she believes his story 100%.

Grillby and River Person back this up. Saying that the Papyrus from their worlds was a very kind soul too..

Jevil is too exhausted to really process this much. But the horror of the situation settles on Seam. Realizing that Papyrus was actually a victim. They had the power to free him all those years ago. And they ran..

Its not addressed right away.. but eventually its brought up again. They both feel horrible for what they did. Leaving him to suffer alone for so many years..

But of course,, Papyrus's kindness never ends. It never broke or faltered after all this time. He forgives them. With all his soul he forgives them. He says he was never angry at them, he fully understands now why they left and he does not blame them. He's just glad to see that they're ok. And he's happy that he's not alone anymore. :}

@solst1ce-sketches

AAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DDD

@csdumpster

I'm not sure if he has Polar Madness.. correct me if I misunderstood, but Google seems to say that Polar Madness is mostly about being sick of the people around you. Being with the same people for months would drive anyone crazy and make them super irritable.

It also talks about developing sleep disorders due to the strange night and day cycle. It mentions anger and depression too..

I'm thinking that the main two issues, sleep and irritability towards coworkers, aren't a problem for Natquik. For 1 he doesn't have any coworkers- but also he's an Arctic fox! He grew up in the Arctic. These strange night and day cycles are nothing new to him, in fact he was designed to live with these cycles! So I think he's safe there.

Now the depression part.. due to the extreme loneliness he must have felt eventually.. that could be a problem. But hey at least my version of Natquik has Marsh and Jack to keep him company XD

..oh wait, the Everglades. I wonder if Natquick would develop some kind of.. Florida Madness trying to deal with those different night cycles and living with those two morons for weeks XDD

(Post in question)

OH YEAH!! I can totally see it! XDD

(Sorry for the late reply! I am unwell-😢)

Aww, 🥺Perhaps they do. They're all doomed 💖

(Sorry for the very late reply, things really got away from me-)

I'd like to imagine the 5 of us all sitting down and I spawn/draw in a bunch of food for everyone to try and pick their favorite.

Bibi picks chicken nuggets. Jangles picks bowtie pasta with cheese cubes and Miracle whip. Every time Cici tastes something new she claims its her favorite, so she hasn't really figured it out yet- maybe strawberries??

Gerald's favorite is celery. Mind you I did not draw any celery, and he has never tasted it before. But he has a very strong feeling that it is surly his favorite.

[letters-to-lgbt-kids]

My dear lgbt+ kids,

If you want a conversation to keep going, you have to keep giving them something to reply to.

A (super oversimplified!) example for not doing so:

Person A: "How was your weekend?"

Person B "Good."

Person B may give such a short reply because they don't want to annoy Person A by stuffing too much info into their response or because they don't want to embarrass themselves by getting too personal right away. But short, closed-off replies like that are often seen as a sign of disinterest or even annoyance. Person A is likely to assume that Person B doesn't want to talk more about their weekend (or even that they do not want to talk to them at all) and won't ask further questions.

This type of reply cuts off the flow of the conversation. Many people make the (subconscious) assumption "Well, if Person A really cares about me, they will keep asking". But from Person A's point of view, asking more questions after a closed-off reply likely seems like prying, like crossing a boundary and bothering Person B with unwanted conversation - which they avoid because they care about Person B!

You may think now "Yeah, makes sense but I don't want to launch into a huge monologue and embarrass myself! What if I give a detailed answer and it turns out they just wanted some quick small-talk?" Those are good points - a detailed description of everything you did over the weekend would not always be the appropriate answer, either (and if your natural response tends to be on the shorter side, you wouldn't feel comfortable doing that anyway, so that'd be useless advice).

So, what to do instead? The important part is to open up your reply. It can still be short - just try to put in one little thing Person A can reply to.

This can be as direct as a question:

Person A: "How was your weekend?"

Person B "Good, thankyou. How was yours?"

Or it can be a statement they can reply to:

Person A: "How was your weekend?"

Person B "Good, I went to the beach!"

As you see in these (again, very oversimplified) examples, you don't need to give a long speech or put in lots of private details. You don't force Person A to do so, either. You just give them something to reply to if they want to do so. They can choose to deepen the conversation by telling you details about their weekend now or asking about your beach trip - and if they really just wanted to exchange some pleasant small-talk, they can go that route and give a shorter, more superficial answer.

In either case, you signaled interest in a conversation by giving an open reply and are likely to leave a positive impression on them!

With all my love,

Your Tumblr Dad

ATTENTION CREEPYPASTA FANS

hiiiiii i kinda wanna write some hcs/self insert stuff but im kinda stumped on who and what to write; especially since its been a while since ive written for these characters (a while = about a month?? give or take)

so! i'll be opening requests for creepypasta characters, a 'short' run down of my rules below + characters i write for + some info regarding how i write certain characters that may or may not be important

i apologize for any typos and mistakes for this post, im back to writing on my silly computer!! formatting may be a little whack as well, but that parts more so because idk how i wanna structure these side posts

it should be said right now that the way i write these characters leans very heavy on my own personal interpretation/au rather than ideas that the bulk of the fandom has (although, to be fair, i havent interacted much with the current state of the fandom, im kinda stuck in 2016 </3) so personalities or worldbuilding/common ideas may be different or totally absent in my writing

will not write;

this blog does not allow explicit nsfw material, at most there will be suggestive jokes or themes but it will likely never ever be the main theme of the post!

basic nono criteria, no gross stuff

personally i dont like writing prompts surrounded by cheating so most likely i wont write it

anything overly graphic (gorey), yes i understand that this is creepypasta but there are some things that i just simply wont write; however implied/minor gore is allowed to an extent

really asides from that im mostly chill with anything, but on the off chance you send in something that makes me uncomfy/a request i feel i cant fulfill, i will do my best to communicate that

ohoh also! unfortunately i do not take oc requests :(! no hate to oc x canon, esp since im part of that community, but i just dont trust myself to be able to do justice or your oc TToTT

if i turn down a request it is nothing against you or your wants, please do not take it personally ^^;

will write;

fluff and angst, along with specific scenarios! im fine with most angst but as said above, if a prompt cannot be done i will communicate that!

the reader by default is GN/is not referred to with pronouns outside of like. they/you/your, the POV i write in is kinda inconsistent tbh ,, but i am comfy with writing for specific genders + trans readers, although i admit im not sure how much pronouns or gendered things will come into play unless gender is the main point of the request

im fine with poly! though ive yet to actually. write poly

i dont just write romantic hcs! im down with platonic/familial ones as well!

again im not at all picky with things, and once again, i will communicate if something cant be done

added thing since im not sure where else to put it! by default i write short hcs and scenarios, short fics being very rare on this acc since im not confident in my writing; so !! yeah!! there isnt a real limit to how many characters you can ask for per request but it should be noted that the more characters there are, the shorter each section will likely be

list of characters i will write for!

if a character has a * by their name there will be added notes on how i write for them/special rules stated after the list

Slenderman

Trenderman

Splendorman

Masky/Tim*

Hoodie/Brian*

Laughing Jack

Eyeless Jack

Ticci Toby**

Jeff*

Jane*

Ben*

Nina*

Puppeteer*

Bloody Painter*

Zalgo*(?)

added character notes:

for characters that are minors in their source (jeff, jane, ben, and toby and nina) i will not be writing any romantic hcs; thats just a personal boundary of mine and while i dont think its particually gross or problematic depending on context, its not something i myself feel comfortable writing for! however i am more than willing to write platonic or family hcs for the characters stated above!

onto the proxies! im still figuring out how i wanna write them but i wanted to blend together the creepypasta take and the og marble hornets version into something new (mostly for my au) however due to my brain forgetting most the stuff that happens in MH (i gotta rewatch it, bad) it more so leans into the creepypasta take of these characters! i also by default write tim and masky as different characters, and the same for brian !!

main reason for puppeteer and bloody painter having the star is because im not too well versed in their lore but im willing to write them! though i am struggling to find a consistent source on helens age so ill be going off the fandom wiki (with a grain of salt) that hes in his 20s-

zalgo is a weird case because in my au he does indeed exist but also isnt?? okay so hes more so this untouchable being/mostly nontangible; like the dude is more so like a sentient force of nature bordering on something incomprehensible rather than being a person; more of a concept if anything... but because i want a challenge, and because i need to flesh him out in general im making him an available character!

but yeah i think thats mostly it! this post ended up being longer than i intended but i fully blame that on me being totally incapable of shortening things down 😭😭

Your outfit design on the mci is so good!! Do you have any tips for how you put them together, picking colors, ect?

i’ve been putting off answering this because i know id ramble for about a thousand words because designing characters is my favorite part of the character making process + i spent almost a year refining the mci designs. BUT i’ll try to be cohesive and to-the-point about the tips and pointers i held myself to while designing the characters

info starts under the cut just in case ppl don’t care

1: keep the time period and age range of your character(s) in mind.

athazagora, or at least the part where the children originated from, is in 1985. knowing this, i wouldn’t use clothes in my designs that weren’t around/weren’t as popular, as that would make the date and clothes meaningless and out of date.

considering a character’s age is important, too, as styles and the “maturity” (for a lack of a better word) of said styles evolve with the character. for example, gabriel, a 5 year old boy, would not be wearing the more alternative, dark, and overall mature-type clothing that jeremy, a 14 year old punk, would be wearing.

adding on to that, it is also important to consider the personality of your character while designing them. unless you are specifically going for a misdirective character design (like that one bear from toy story. sorry he’s the best example), having characters wear stuff that doesn’t compliment their personality makes them confusing (in my opinion).

2: use a color palette that is easily identifiable and pleasing.

what is pleasing to look at and what is identifiable is subjective, i know, but this entire thing is subjective so…………….//Yeah

anyways. i’d say to always stick to 5 colors at the least, and 10 at the most. over 10 base colors in a design makes it hard to remember, and if you can’t even remember the design of your own character, who will?

secondly, a character’s color palette also has to reflect their personality. sorry. i’m gonna use gabriel and jeremy again because i designed them with a juxtaposition in their traits and designs in mind:

jeremy, a punk kid who is timid and sad, has a color pallete consisting of mostly grayscale and red. these colors, especially when compared to the other colorful cast of characters in athazagora, clearly set him apart as a character that is not like the others.

gabriel, on the other hand, is a bouncy 5 year old who is very happy all the time. this is represented through the minimal use of dark colors in his pallete. he even includes some sun buttons on his overalls, which usually signifies that something is bright and cheerful. this contrasts jeremy’s skull, which usually represents sadness and gloom.

but color palletes are nothing without proper implementation. to really utilize a color pallete, you need to create designs that catch, and keep, somebodys attention. I’ll use gabe as an example AGAIN because he’s my favorite design

on the left is his design from july of last year. it uses mostly the same colors as his current design (the shorter one on the right), but it is oversimplified and unappealing. he looks like a background character in mlp. in the current design, still using the same colors (as stated before), there is more contrast and patterns; the black stripe against the blue, yellow, and white; the horizontal stripes of his shirt against the vertical ones of his overalls; these little details require a viewer to actually look at the design to fully understand it.

3: (the final tip unless i think of any more) design what you like to draw.

there is little to no point in making shit you hate drawing. and i’m not talking tedious, if you genuinely do not like to draw something, don’t. you control your art experience, and you’re just fucking yourself over if you force yourself to make stuff you don’t enjoy.

for example, i really like overalls. i love designing them, customizing them, and that is why they are on most of the missing kids designs. i draw what i like to see.

hope this helps. this is just me yapping basically but there’s some actual coherency if you squint

[melodic-cherry]

Okay I know nobody is invested in the story like I am but here’s some facts about the story I’m working on

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

Background: this is all being based around the Muppets mayhem show and that canon. ( yes I know muppets doesn’t have crucial canon but I’m using this show as a base )  the character that’s most focus on is cherry, which I post about a lot on here. However, how she’s even involved in the story is because of…

How cherry becomes involved: when the mayhem is going on tour, Penny points out that they don’t have an opening act. Nora agrees, saying that they need to find somebody. Hannah gives her opinion and says hey, there is this rising star her name is Cherry maybe we can try to sign her on the tour? Everyone seems to be on board with this, but doesn’t know where to start but luckily enough, Penny knows cherry on a very personal level. So to put it into simpler terms… penny, basically tells Cherry that she’s going to go on tour with the mayhem, because… she’s like her aunt kinda? So Cherry goes.

Facts about the story that are important to keep in mind:

• teeth, and Penny are still in a relationship during this time

• Cherry has her own band named wild cherry! The leader singer is obvi Cherry she also does guitar. The drummer is named Joana Cherrys best friend. And idk what Lucas plays but he’s also in the band.

• with the mayhem I kind of grouped them together, with who I think would be close friends based in the story * obviously the whole band is but * Nora and Janice are close gal pals. Moog gets kind of close with Floyd and teeth as well. Obvi zoot and lips are close BUT I think animal has a close kin ship with zoot :3

• Cherrys childhood is touched on so here’s a brief on that: how is she even was able to get into? The music scene is because she’s been in that scene her whole life. Her biological dad had a rock band back in the 60s and when she was born he literally didn’t want to be a father. So she was kind of stuck going whatever they went the drummer in the band ( named Pete ) through out Cherrys, whole life raised her. To cut it kind of shorter with the band drama Pete gets custody of Cherry when she’s 12 and the band breaks up for good. It’s a media shit show type of ordeal. Raising cherry besides, Pete is his brother named Will. They’re both probably in their mid - late 60s. Pete is a shag dog muppet and will is a poodle muppet who’s a lawyer. ( I think one brother being a hippie drummer and the other being a lawyer is so funny ) this is just base info

• even though I post about teeth and cherry a lot it’s a very slow burn story between the two. It’s a lot of subconscious feelings at first that get pointed out later by characters in the story.

• I will be pointing out the mayhem’s family ex: Floyd’s parents etc. I don’t really have any base ideas on this so if anyone has any ideas if they’re reading this, shoot me a message I’m willing to hear anything I don’t really know what to add for family or more lore within the band.

• penny, breaks up with teeth when she catches the vibe that he has feelings for cherry she’s very angry for a lot of reasons obviously, but she never drops him from the label, but she definitely ponders this. But she doesn’t want to discipline everyone else because he’s being “himself” in her eyes 

• since this is based on the Muppet mayhem show I will be adding things that I wish I saw on the show. Ex: zoot will have a lot more talking lines and lips as well!

• so much more but- IM NOT GONNA CLOG UR TL

So yeah that’s fun XD

Cinderella mini drama cd ~love song for you~ translation

friend said she didn't find translation anywhere so! Excuse me any mistakes, casual translation by ear andkkffjkl.

Probably doing all of them little by little if there's none

Track #2 Love song for you.

"How was it~? My song! So cool, right!

You fell in love with me all over again, riight~ I sang it thinking about you. Perfect vibe for a wedding, yeah? For a surprise wedding performance, from groom to the bride. Or you don't want it? Ah, but it won't be surprise if I ask.

Aahh, a wedding, huh... I want to do it flashy! For it happens only once! A church with view to the ocean or a shrine with social standing?Which one would you prefer? For me, it would be the church. White Japanese wedding kimono would be wonderful, but I really want to see you ina white dress! Also, that way the glass shoes will fit. The church doors opening and you appearing in a white dress, so beautiful! Being surrounded by friends and family, you walk through the aisle wearing the glass shoes I made! Aah!!

... sniff.. huh? No.. not like I'm really crying.. just from imagining you on ur wedding day... hnngg.. I can't help it, okay? A bride! You're going to get married! To me!! As if I wouldn't get touched.

Anyway! Church! I want to have it there. Well.. of course you can choose which we will have the wedding at in the end. Ain't wedding ceremonies very important to the ladies? After all you're the one wearing the dress and walking to the aisle. Ah! Wouldn't it be something to do both!? These days after having a traditional wedding ceremony, you can wear the white dress!

I might have gotten a bit ahead but... Bought this! Tadaa!! Info magazine about these! It's not a waste! this.. u know.. a necessary investment for the occasion! Right? It's not bad to start the planning early~ now, c'mon, let's read this together. Have always dreamed of this, planning future together with the one I love~

*flips page* Huh, abroad... Abroad would be nice too! Rent a amusement park sounds fun.. the guesthouse seems so fancy too! OH! This dress seems like it would suit you so well! It's handmade! The price is... uh... huuhh.....

*flips pages*Ooh! This dress looks good too! It's shorter, can see legs then~ This one is.. oh *cough* for rent, right.. haha ..Oh! This simple one!! A... They just getting pricier... WHY?! Wedding dresses are pretty pricey...

The authorised representatives, dress, ring, accessories, cameraman to document the event...It's great to have lot to dream of, but.. wedding really is a lot of work.

AH, but but, don't worry, I will collect the money! So you can plan this to your heart's content! ..You gotta have some!? Plans like this place or this specific season or want to change the dress three times? Weddings are ladies' dream after all, hehe, happens only once! On that day, ure the main character, so not to have any regrets, must do it all!

.. Well, the money... I will figure something out, I will definitely make ur dreams come true! So... For now.. could you wait a little?"

So where was I ?

I uhh said about dressing up I think… ANYWAY PHOTOS!!!!

So yea that!

One of important symbols of Užgavėnės is that we go ‘treat or treating’ in your terms.

We go to a persons home, knock on the door and instead of saying trick or treat, we have to sing a little song, Užgavėnių style ya know.

And they usually don’t give us candy BUT pancakes! Or apples or yea yeah candy

Pancakes are very very important symbol of this holiday! You have to eat many different kinds of pancakes (don’t have to, you know what I mean)

During Užgavėnės you have to move a lot: dance, jump, sing, walk, climb trees for gods sake, it’s the end of winter and the start of spring let’s celebrate!

I’m not gonna talk about dancing and singing cuz Lithuanians have that trait, many folk songs and dances are a must! They are so fun honestly :]

And there are two major events :

1. The fight between Kanapinis and Lašininis

Kanapinis (skinny, tall, much energy. He represents spring) and Lašininis (shorter, fat, lazy, less energy. He represents winter).

They fight while folk music is playing, of course Kanapinis always wins

And the second one hehehehhe

Hold your socks cuz ima blow them off of you.

We burn Morė!

Basically Morė

or more in English – Moreh is a fertility deity who is burned at the stake only to be reborn later. Accumulated evil is "expelled" with it, along with the intrusive winter.

While she burns people dance around her and laugh and sing and so on :]

Theres a lot more to it but I told you all I know from childhood :]

Also bonus

OOOOOO the masks are funky/pos :D AHH MY SOCKS! Actually eating up this info nom nom nom

#AGAIN TY #ITS REALLY COOL!! #I think it’s really interesting and neat!! #:D

Heartslabyul: Moonlight

So I suppose I'm doing MORE AU WRITINGSS because I couldn't stop thinking about this au (yes again by @jackplushie they're really good at this au thing okay)

I will probably do the rest of the dorms but I'm unsure if these will all be as long as the automation au. (Especially since Heartslabyul is generally shorter because they've got 5 people) also this was made before any info on heartslabyul in the au came out so that's why it's so different.

Also if this does not resemble the proceedings of an actual law firm please keep in mind that the thing that got me thinking about this was playing the great ace attorney chronicles. So uh. Yeah lawyerly shenanigans inbound.

Heartslabyul and Co Law

A long standing and historic law firm, Heartslabyul was a natural choice to handle the prosecution of the Moonlight Thief. Especially with all the victims, private owners, institutions, and insurers, who were involved. Few firms had the manpower required to handle this particular case.

Riddle is the one in charge of the team handling your case. He's the one keeping everyone's feet to the fire at all hours of the day (even when no evidence has come in for a while) and serving as a good example by constantly reviewing every incident to make sure he can remember all of the details. While on the surface Riddle is mostly so focused on the case due to its importance meaning he could make partner at an incredibly young age if he does well... it would be wrong to say he didn't get obsessed after so long. Staring at pictures of you mid escape, tracking your pattern of targets, trying to understand your MO as though he were in your shoes... it got to him after a while. So now? He's far more interested in seeing you in person. He'll see what you're really what he thinks when you're in the defendants chair. After all, it's not like he'll get the chance any earlier.

Trey is Riddle's second in command, in charge of keeping everyone on track when Riddle isn't, as well as making sure no one starves to death on the job. Honestly with how big the team is and how often they wind up staying overnight to work on the case, Trey winds up making coffee and grabbing food more than he looks over evidence. He's probably the last to actually get seriously invested in you rather than the case itself, it more so happens because he's curious why his coworkers are so obsessed. Why is Riddle always talking about your motives? Why is Ace always wistful when he's looking over footage? What the hell is up with Cater and Deuce? He's in charge of these guys, so it's his business to try and find out more about what's going on. (Spoiler Alert he falls into the same pit as them)

Cater is the one 'in charge' of keeping everyone's spirits up. That is to say he just started doing it without waiting for orders from Riddle (something which the latter is equally furious and grateful about). Since he's the best at talking to others he's usually the one talking to clients on site, and it was on one such occasion that he met you. He and a rookie coworker were speaking with a curator at your recent target, specifically about why you hadn't stolen a particularly extravagant necklace, when all the security features in the room abruptly shut off. A moment later you landed from above and swiped the necklace in question before turning around. You... hadn't actually expected anyone to be there, so you had to improvise. With a wink and a remark of "If I had more time I'd stick around to steal your heart as well, alas I have to split!" You dashed past them, prompting Cater's junior to chase after you while Cater... bluescreened. If he started looking at your candids in the case files more often he'd just say the meeting made him more invested in the case. Which... isn't technically wrong?

Ace is one of the few rookies on the case. And as you'd hear from most he has no reason to be, he's lazy, annoying, rude... what question were they answering again? But besides all that, Ace is valued, even by Riddle, because he's good at spotting things other people pass over. He's the only one in the office who's really capable of pouring over surveillance footage to find the one frame you forgot to scrub. Why's he so good at noticing your presence? A shared history perhaps? Who's to say.

Deuce is one of the other rookies, and is significantly better prepared than Ace. Even if he's not great at... the actual investigating, he's there whenever someone needs to move a box of a thousand documents, and determined and stubborn enough to read a thousand documents. He's the coworker who went with Cater to the museum, as well as the one who began chasing after you. A lot... You were honestly impressed when he managed to keep pace when you went out the fire escape, and then he followed you over a half dozen buildings and you started to get worried as he started closing the gap. Just as he was about to grab you by the collar however, you doubled back and he lost his footing plunging over the edge of the roof. For a moment. You grabbed his arm at just the right time for him to balance himself on the roof's edge. And then you pulled him till he tumbled to the roof's floor. Giving you your chance to escape. And... a new lovestruck fanboy.

You're comments on Ao3 are annoying

I start almost every ask with: I love this question.

This is not a question nor do I love it.

In fact, my first instinct upon reading this was to crawl under my bed and never come out again. But that's probably my social anxiety and not me, so let's quickly dissect this!

So, I'm not in the slightest bit surprised people could find my comments on Ao3 annoying. Because I ramble a lot and I'm a bit all or nothing....

Like... look at this comment I left on Tangled: Between the Kisses:

I had to zoom out to 25%... and I actually left two comments on this chapter. (It was a really good chapter, okay?!)

So yeah, long, rambly, annoying.

I get it.

It's fine.

But umm... I like long comments? As an author, getting long comments is amazing and fun... And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that boat. Lots of authors like long comments, right?

Now, I don't know if you (person asking this) are an author or a reader.

I try to be very good at pointing out to authors that it's okay to tell me my comments are annoying and I will stop commenting, OR leave shorter comments! Like, I'm perfectly happy to write: "Great chapter! Enjoyed it, keep up the good work!"

No complaints here.

Here is a snippet from a comment on Moonrise where I do just that! (another great fic, I'm a chapter behind, need to go read that)

On BTK I couldn't find myself asking this, I thought I had. But I have spoken privately to one of the authors, @the-writer1988 and from my understanding, the long comments are not an issue.

So, if you're an author, and you find my comments annoying, that's fine. Please, reach out to me and tell me and I will stop leaving long comments!

I would genuinely be super thankful if you do, because then I won't have to stress over which of the fanfics I'm currently reading and commenting on I should be changing my commenting method.

If you're a co-author and don't want to make that statement publicly because you don't know how other authors feel, PM me, I'm not going to share this info with anybody else. I'll just switch up my commenting method to whatever suits you best!

I have no issue doing that.

Now, moving onto the second scenario, which I like to think is more likely... You're a reader.

You enjoy browsing comment sections and I have these really long comments, using block-chains to make following the comment easier for the author but maybe making a very repetitive read for a reader.

If that is the case, I apologize that this annoys you.

But I think the added value for the authors is more important here.

You don't have to read the comments I leave.

In fact neither do authors, but that's an entire other story.

You can browse past.

I can understand it might be annoying...

I wish I could give you a solution. I just went to test out Ao3 Enhancement Suit to see if hiding authors also affected comments and it did not.

So, I don't have a solution.

But I stand by the fact my comments are more for the authors, a love message for their work, than for other readers. Not that I wouldn't love to interact with other readers. I just think, if something is giving any joy to the person who creates this fic we both enjoyed, that should be more important.

But, maybe I'm wrong, maybe there is a pov I am not thinking about, if so, I'm always open to debate.

I did think about leaving this ask unanswered.

But, I've been very nervously questioning which of all the fics I comment on has incited this.

I've been asking myself if I should stop commenting in case I am annoying to certain authors.

And I feel like it's a lose-lose situation if I were to do that. I'd feel upset over not being able to express my full love for the writing of another, and the other person would not receive that love to begin with.

Whereas, communicating my willingness to be flexible feels more productive than stopping altogether.

Despite that, has this shaken me up a bit and activated social anxiety mode?

Yes.

I could lie and say no, I'm not affected whatsoever by negativity, but it'd be a lie.

So if my comments hold a slight tenseness to them moving forward, it's because my mind is overthinking, and has nothing to do with the amazing stories put out there by the many members of the fandom!

And, in case it wasn't obvious, I'm open to all reviews, long, short, grammaticaly incorrect, want to throw an entire fanfic into the comment section? Do it. I'll read it. I'll love it.

Every person is different though and I'm fully open to interacting differently with different people.

Now... I'm going to go eat some chocolate because this response took waaaay too long and I have earnt a treat.

a/n: this was,,, very,, uh,,, *fun* to write (yeah, let’s go with fun) 💖 but enjoy this post, folks💖

Ningguang and you watched from above as two Inazumans made their way up the staircase to Yuehai Pavilion. 

One woman had pink ears blended into her long and luscious pink hair. As she moved, her hips and long hair swayed in unison. She had a coy smirk on her face as your eyes trailed all over her while she regarded her companion.

Her companion was much shorter. As they climbed, she kept adjusting her hair and outfit as she climbed. Unfortunately, while she played with the top of her dress, she tripped. Luckily, her friend saved grabbed onto the back of the dress. Although, neither of the pink haired lady seemed more exhausted than relieved when she saved her friend.

“They’re late,” she murmured.

You glanced over at her, but when your gaze met hers she was quick to abandoned it. Together, you two turned away from the window and to the rest of the room.

The room Ningguang had chosen for the meeting had been rearranged significantly. The conference table that usually sat in room had been replaced with a nice dining table. On top of it was a nice vase of glaze lilies and qingxin flowers. Their scent added to the comfortable atmosphere, which should relieve any tension in the room.

“Do you even care about this meeting?” she asked in a hushed whisper as you both sat down. 

You rolled your eyes. “Will you just relax? It’s just a simple business meeting, anyway. There’s no need to worry so much...”

“Just a simple business meeting?” she repeated as her scarlet red eyes widened. “Do you have any idea what would happen if this meeting went poorly?”

“Of course I do. I’m not an idiot, Ningguang,”

“Then stop acting like one,” she retorted. “Honestly, it’s a miracle that you even made it onto the Liyue Qixing.”

“What’s actually a miracle is that despite worrying all the time, you still don’t have any wrinkles,”

Ningguang and you turned to look at each other, and she made the mistake of raising her eyebrows. A thin wrinkle formed in the middle of her forehead and suddenly you had to fight a smile from forming.

She rolled her eyes at your antics and turned to face the door. “You’re infuriating.”

“And you’re easy to annoy,” you chuckled as you copied her actions.

Just as you had made eye contact with the door, it had been pushed open. Your business partners strided into the room and they sat down quietly. 

“Thank you so much for agreeing to this meeting,” Ningguang said with a kind smile. “I hope that the journey to Liyue wasn’t too troublesome.”  

“No, not at all,” the calmer of the two spoke up.

You smiled at your guests. “We’re happy to hear that. Truly, we are.”

The woman smiled as her eyelids lowered halfway. “Ningguang, you never told me about your absolutely stunning friend here. Introductions are in order.”

Ningguang let out a barely audible sigh. “You’re right, how could I forget? Beside me is my wonderful colleague, the Tianxuan of the Liyue Qixing.”

The lady only stared at you, and barely regarded Ningguang. “My companion’s name is Ms.Hina,” she extended her hand to you, palm downwards, “and I am Yae Miko. It is an absolute pleasure to meet you.”

You looked at her hand and awkwardly placed yours in hers, and gently shook it. “I feel the same way, Ms.Miko and Ms.Hina. It is an honor to deal with the Yae Publishing House.”

Yae’s eyes narrowed as she retracted her hand. “Right, of course. Shall we get right to business then, Ningguang?”

“I think that’d be best,” she gingerly slid over the contract to be in front of Ms.Hina and Yae. “The contract promises everything we have discussed beforehand, such as the scheduled shipments and advertisements. All we need from you is your signature, Ms.Miko.”

Yae looked down from her nose and opened her palm towards Ms.Hina. Quickly, the flustered woman rummaged through her pockets. After a moment of struggling, Ms.Hina finally pulled out a pair of reading glasses. She gently placed them into Yae’s open hand and recoiled away from her quickly.

“If you wouldn’t mind, Ningguang, Tianxuan,” Yae murmured as put on her glasses, gently pushing them up her nose, “me and my associate would like some time to read this.”

“Of course,” you assured her. “And if there’s anything you need, I am more than happy to help.”

“I really like your willingness to help,” Yae smirked as she gazed at you. Under the table, you felt the tip of her foot graze over your thigh. “It’s one of the things I look for in a p—”

“Ms.Miko, pardon my interruption but I just realized I forgot a page of the contract. if you’ll excuse me and my associate, we will be quick to grab it,” Ningguang said quickly.

Yae frowned. “Oh, well, I suppose so. Ms.Hina and I could read this while you two—”

“Thank you so much, and I sincerely apologize for my mistake,” Ningguang grabbed your hand and pulled you up. 

You managed to keep up with her as she pulled you out of the room and into the hallway. She led you down the corridors of Yuehai Pavillion, hurriedly and covertly slipping her hand into yours. Ningguang turned right for the fourth time before pulling you into a small closet space. Inside it was a series of shelves filled with scrolls.

She shut the door behind you two quite harshly. The ceiling’s lantern swung a bit widley, but that didn’t seem to phase Ningguang.

“What are you doing? Flirting with our business partner?” she scolded, “I thought you were better than that.”

“That was flirting to you?” you responded. “Archons above, you need to get out more Ningguang.”

“Don’t try to change the subject,”

“I wasn’t! I’m just trying to ease the tension,” you explained as you took a step back. “And speaking of, why in all of Teyvat do you care?”

She groaned. “Because, with your down right horrendous flirting skills, you could ruin everything.”

“So, what? You want me to actually flirt with her?”

“Yes,” 

“But you just said—”

“I know what I just said,”

You gave her a dubious look. “You’re giving me mixed signals here, Ningguang. You’re telling me to flirt with her, but then you’re getting mad when I’m just simply talking with her—” you paused and then looked up at her. “Wait, are you jealous?”

With the contrast of her porcelain skin, you could clearly see the way her cheeks warmed up to a rosy pink. “I’m not jealous. Why would I ever be jealous?”

“Oh, but I think you are,” you smirked as you leaned close. “I think you’re jealous that I’m flirting with someone else, that I’m giving someone else my attention,” you leaned in much closer so you could whisper to her. “And, I think you absolutely hate the fact that you have fallen for me.”

“I— I have not fallen for you,” she stuttered out.

“To think, after all this time, all this bickering,” you chuckled, “that you actually caught feelings. It’s—”

“Shut up,”

You leaned in closer to Ningguang. “Make me,”

Suddenly, Ningguang’s lips came crashing against yours as she pinned you against the shelf. A few scrolls tumbled past you two as your kiss got rough. Her hands trailed over your torso before she rested them on your hips. She smirked into the kiss and gave your hips a gentle squeeze as she kissed deeper into you. 

A few minutes later you two had finally broken apart for air and were making your way back to Yae Miko and Ms.Hina. Ningguang held your hand gently, a shocking contrast to her previous touches on your body. In her free hand was the scroll you two had fetched, although you don’t remember when she found it. There wasn’t much time to look in between entering the closet and your frantic makeout session. 

“You actually had to grab a scroll?” you murmured.

“What? Did you think I just wanted to pull you away for a quick makeout session?” Ningguang asked as her eyes widened and her smile transformed into a smirk. 

“Was it not?”

Ningguang looked around, wary of any Milith that may lurk around the corner. Once she deemed the coast clear, she pressed a sweet kiss into your cheek. 

“Well, it was part of the reason…” she trailed off, gazing deeply into your eyes. “But we don’t need to tell Miko that, now do we?”

Notre Dame AU Chapter 12: “As The City Slumbered”

AKA The scenes and song in Act 2 I’ve been looking forward to for so long now. (Besides the finale)

I really hope I nail this, even I’ve gotta make this shorter than even I’m wanting.

Also, because this is important: After this, there may be a brief hiatus until further notice. I know I’m so close to the finale and I have a pretty good idea of how it will go down, but I'm waiting on more Help Wanted 2 info to solidify my decision. This may mean that we’ll both have wait until December, but I could also just randomly go “yeet this” and write it anyway.

Either way, here’s the night before the big day.

-

Hours passed on the grounds of the Princess Challenge Castle. The stars aided the furious judge as he set up wooden beams around a nearby service elevator. The only noise he heard was the banging of his hammer against the nails. And yet, in his “sleep”-deprived mind, the entire mall was already set ablaze. Each nail clanging into place now sounded like the ever-inching elevator readying to plummet.

However, by some miracle, the rabbit’s fevered imagination was kept at bay with the fact that he had to build the thing. So, with a strange mix of self-annoyance and unnatural glee, he kept working instead of laughing like a madman.

The other souls inside the castle, however, weren’t thrilled. Cassie chattered with Gregory, her confusion slowly melting into sorrow as time went on. Gregory himself tried to keep his voice stable, but even he couldn’t shake the pain away. “I’m sorry,” he murmured faintly. “I thought leaving my walkie-talkie behind would help Agonia get out, but I guess I should’ve realized that Glitch would try to trick somebody else with it.”

Cassie opened her mouth to speak, but a soft sob emitted from the speakers. “It’s all my fault,” she could hear Gregory choke out. “I didn’t listen to him. I should’ve just—“

“You didn’t have to listen to that ‘judge’,” Cassie insisted, battling her own tears to keep her tone stern. “And you still don’t! He’s been nothing but trouble ever since he got here.”

”But.. Wh-What about you?” Gregory stammered, as if he completely missed that last sentence. “I don’t want to be responsible for anything else! I don’t want to lose you too!”

Cassie’s sneer dropped into a look of shock. Instead of asking the obvious, she glanced over at Vanessa sitting beside her. The woman’s pained wince and rapid nod told all. They had both been through the same horrors, whatever those were.

Cassie refocused her attention. “Don’t worry about me,” she said gently. “Whatever happens, I just want you to be safe. To be with your family again.”

Rather than the sounds of slowly-processed comfort, Gregory only sniffled and repeated “I’m sorry” in an even more broken manner. The static cut into silence.

“Gregory?” Cassie asked quietly.

Vanessa inched closer to the girl. “I think he’s finally figured out who ‘46’ was,” she explained somberly, placing a hand on Cassie’s shoulder. “Or, to be honest, he remembered who ‘46’ was.”

Cassie just stared back in bewilderment.

“Oh, yeah, you probably weren’t there for that,” Vanessa sighed darkly. “At least we’ve got a couple more hours to unpack everything before the ‘big bonfire’. Should give you a bit of closure.”

”But I’m not going to die!” Cassie insisted, flailing out an arm. “…Am I?”

Vanessa bit her lip. “Unless someone manages to break you out…” her voice trailed as her heart sank. She wouldn’t dare finish that sentence.

Both went quiet. Cassie clung to Vanessa’s arm. Vanessa was now the one trying to keep herself steady. Cassie, on the other hand, finally let out all the tears she held back. The hall echoed with sobs, even as the banging of construction battled against it.

Unbeknownst to the grieving pair, one other soul was also in mourning. Agonia had gone dead silent as soon as him and his master arrived back “home”. Aside from his eyes surveying all of said master’s work, he was now rendered motionless as well. Watching from the bell tower. Waiting for the unbearable dawn.

A dawn that he was beginning to think he deserved.

A morning of fire, a new day with innocent lives lost when he can only watch…

Yes. That sounded like a fitting punishment. Both for his current crimes against his master and the unspeakable crimes of the past.

And, besides, it wasn’t like he couldn’t escape anyway. He had a new task at hand. Something his master specifically ordered. An order he dare not disobey— Even if it meant being bound by wires and drained for power. Why should he care? He was in his ghost form again, after all.

A second ghost, however, was not this resigned. “Father, you must try to free yourself!” Michael called out, grabbing the elder by the shoulders.

“The girl needs your help!” Charlie chimed in, aiding Michael in pulling the sulking man back inside.

Agonia did not fight his fellow specters, but he did snarl at them. “Quiet,” he hissed faintly. “Go away.”

“You’re the only one who can save her now!” Henry reasoned, uncharacteristically showing his fury as he pointed at the descending staircase. “Everyone else has given up— Even Gregory.”

“You know what happens when I try to help,” Agonia snapped back, keeping his full attention on his former partner. “I only make things worse!”

“You don’t believe that!” Elizabeth and her younger brother exclaimed in horror, rushing to their father’s side. Charlie shared their expression, but kept close to her own dad instead. She could already sense a firestorm ready to strike.

Agonia chortled bitterly. “How do you know what I believe?” he sniggered as he distanced himself from the group. “What do you know of me? What do you know of all the things I feel…?”

His voice trailed as an old feeling resurfaced. His skeptical expression shifted into a furious sneer. His mouth ran faster than his brain, descending into a ramble that even the person telling this story couldn’t properly track and transcribe. All that could be descipher was the general theme: They had lied. He had lied to himself. Only the judge made the proper verdict.

Meanwhile, the ghosts tried to argue back. Henry and Michael appealed to his logic. Elizabeth and her other brother offered their support as best they could. Charlie attempted to do both of these, but Agonia’s sudden jump from broken animatronic pile to broken animatronic pile made it hard on her.

But, in the end, the only result was a shriek of absolute rage and pain from the specter himself.

Charlie was the first to retreat. “Okay, Agonia,” she said softly, rejoining her dad’s side. “We’ll leave you alone.”

Henry scooped his daughter before backing away slowly. He simply gave a nod of agreement.

Michael gathered his misty-eyed siblings. The usually-crying child looked back at the dad he once respected. “You’re right, ‘Agonia’,” he said in a flat, not-choked tone. “We’re just ghosts too. But…”

He paused to gauge his siblings’ faces. Michael and Elizabeth bobbed their heads in agreement.

“We just thought you were made of something stronger,” the boy finished, watching as the rest vanished. Soon, he too disappeared into the darkness.

Agonia winced, refocusing his attention to the scenery before him. All was quiet now that his “guardians” had departed. The only noise he clearly heard was the pulse of the ever-moving wires tied around his extremities. The only sight he truly had was the starless night sky through the fractured grid of glass.

And yet, for a moment, he could see something else. Almost like a vision from some other realm.

There was someone else still there. Ever-shifting in form and mood, but very present. Watching from a distance– Perhaps waiting for his mind to change, if he had to take a guess.

He shook his lowered head. Whoever it was, that person was sadly mistaken. He was not going back out there.

Bracing for impact, he let all of his lingering emotions drain into the wire-built.. thing he was powering. Some tears leaked through, but they quickly vanished. He fell onto his hands and knees. His contorted face turned cold and stoic. The process, whatever it was, had succeeded.

[dude-iloveu]

the m'sian government: depression and anxiety are on the rise among higher education students. we want to do a correlation study on this with an important factor that might have influenced this behaviour

also them:

noctis and aeron are probably the most developed ocs of mine i've had. not probably. definitely. hdkdjdjjd. the ones that come close to their level are characters that were basically self inserts. i mean i guess they're the only ones i've ever cared to give a proper consistent story going on and all. and maybe. i guess. since i'm starting to learn and unlearn stuff, they're like, the best outcome of uh. my general thoughts i guess. mmh. i want to talk but i can't.

anyway. general idea for noctis' story that has been in my mind for a while is that she and her twin who i'll call C, are very differrent. like, C is the 'better half' of it while noctis got the shorter end of everything. it wasn't as obvious when they were younger kids but only after their parents separated. the mom is a jealous and kinda controlling person, she has a high position in a company or whatever, and the dad is also somewhat a person with a slightly high position. yeah but it's all like just a cover because 1. they're not that well off but act like they're living high class or something, with perfect children that have good grades and are active and stuff. 2. is that the dad is not a faithful husband (which amplified the wife's suspicions) and the one time he was caught was because noctis had mistaken a jewellry thing she found lying around as a gift her dad wanted to give her mom or whatever instead and well since it belonged to like. another woman. the dad tried to cover it up and wanted to get it back but then things escalated and yea. ah who would win. a private detective gathering info for months vs 1 curious kid who just wants the best for their parents. anyway at this point the parents just, endure it and hide the fact from anyone because perfect family. all the while the company they work at is in hot watsr and that the parents kinda fell into their drinking habit tendencies (nothing bad happened directly to the kids the parents just argued alot) anywayi forgot to say. that the kids relationship witht he dad is good. like. hes not that much a present father but he takes them out to places and do fun stuff on the weekend. noctis' interest in acrobatics and stuff started when the dad brought them to a circus and stuff. so yea anyway the last straw was when the parents were drunk and had a big fight that led to bottles being thrown (no one got hurt) but the kids saw it on the sidelines(?) and the parents stopped arguing when they realised their kids were watching after things got overwhelming for noctis. so like fastforward a little they had a divorce and just some messed up manipulation shit by the mom that the dad wasn't allowed to see his kids again. some parent alienation shit going on and aghhh kid noctis sees this as their fault and neither parent explained to them both properly what had happened.

fast forward to school years C became a very high achiever student while noctis struggled. there were recommendatjon from teacher for special ed but the mom sees it as an insult and insists that she could tutor noctis herself. it also is worth noting that the mom kinda leans more to C than noctis and while she is harsher(?) to noctis, she doesn't like, neglect her needs (except emotionally ig). all this doesnt affect noctis and C's bond as siblings, theyre close as ever.

then highschool , noctis managed to enter a higher prestige school that her twin entered too. well, it was mostly normal but the school wass well known for their olympiad teams. noctis kinda became a delinquent and often skipped school things, while still managing to not get any disciplinary trouble, while her sister was a top student and tried hard to enter an olympiad team. even tho they're significantly different, noctis doesnt really have anything against and is protective of C. also she got a friend who she sort of helped from being bullied. the two kinda became best freidns from then on. meanwhile C got accepted into the team, which led to her being a target by people that were also competing to get in. something something an important exam came up and after that, C had been accussed of stealing the answer sheet and cheating. and there were like, camera footage or something. which would be a big fuckin problem no. anyway noctis maybe like, found evidence of answer sheet being found in the perpetraitors possession but ultimately. it led to noctid having to take the blame and with everything piled up, she was expelled. the mom was mad but also like, she didn't want to deal with any problems noctis had. she then enrolled noctis to a different school that sooner later met again with her friend, who had also moved schools because they wanted to join a certain team or band or something that only that school offered. so yey rejoice.

all this while i didnt mention noctis being really into acrobatics and have been training by herself (imprtant detail that i didnt talk about wtf) and she has been looking up on how to join those acrobatics schools or teams and stuff. and applying to institutions that offer these courses and stuff. welp, a long list of rejection but there was one school in particular that she did loom forward to get an audition of. it was one she had higher hopes in because it didnt have the requirements of having experience professional training and whatnot. well. the mom noticed she'd been really into something and asked and noctis explained about the whole thing. while the mom didnt object or anything, noctis probably asumes she thinks its dumb since the mom didnt allow or wanted to pay for noctis to attend acrobatics classes when she was a kid. but she doesnt think much of it, because lowkey. she does want to be accepted so she could show the mom something she has accomplished (and get parental affirmation ooughfhs). well no noctis doesnt get this luxury. because the letter came and the mom got to see it first, she saw noctis got accepted, but also realized that if she didnt get any sort of scholarship, the pay would be really expensive. so the mom kept the letter, though the jntention was that she wanted to discuss with noctis first on "better academic choices". then time went on and noctis found the letter while cleaning up her mom'a study room and. well. ouch. the betrayal and all the anger she had just bursted. worth mentionimg that the twin had known this before but didn't say anything. anyway noctis confronted this and while the mom explained it was an honest mistake or whatever, noctis didn't want to give any more benefit of doubt. not when the mom didn't give them the same benefit when they had been accused of that stealing and cheating stuff from high school.

so the desicion has been made. she ran away from home. with help from their uncle and his wife, that didn't have close relationship with noctis' mom anymore.

whoah. i've been talking so much. i should stop now because damn. noctis biography be long

#i havent played any games aside from sky today. my mental health has been awful #ignore the high prices of essentials. ignore the lack of initiatives. the lesser opportunities in jobs. the higher requirements #i needed to ramble i felt like i'm experiencing something man idk #so have that long ass ramble under the cut #to distract myself

(I want to say that I have no idea how to start a rant lmao)

I absolutely adore the idea of Rex Lapis just using his tail as a seat because sitting on the ground is for peasants- it's so funny yet fitting. And him being under 6 chains from how strong he is, is actually kind of hilarious lolol. His reaction to Gui made me very soft, it was also a little sad. The multiple info dumps from him hurt my brain, I do not have enough brain cells for this lmao. OH AND REX LAPIS HUGGING GUI UGH MY HEART

I really like the idea of Ajax being a descendent of both the Volchiy and the Zvezdochoty, it makes his ease with controlling hydro a lot more understandable and does clear up some details about Ajax. Now that I think about it- I remember that Nadya had hiden the fox trio in the forest, who says that she hadn't done the same in the original timeline and that Ajax' ancestors are one of those three? It would be really interesting and weird lolol.

Aspasia becoming the navigator after Basil dies somehow makes a lot of sense in my head, she just... fits the role? It also makes sense that Sophron would join the mutiny in the original timeline since, from what I understood, it was after(?) the split so Sophron, seeing how they were already thinking that mutiny was probs a good idea in the past celestia when Ajax got there, must've been tired of dealing with everything after the archon war, the cataclysm and then the split. So them joining Basil makes a lot of sense same with Pheynix who, if I recall properly, was on friendlier terms with Vinea then the other shades(I think? It's been a bit since I read that chapter where the two are introduced).

The interaction between older Skirk and Ajax at the start of chapter 48 just killed me, it was so funny seeing Ajax being completely oblivious to his injuries and Skirk just wrestling him into getting healed. And just him being like "Oh hey I got lightning scars on my arms, guess that explains the tingly feeling" like it's nothing-

The other Harbingers just being speechless and confused the entire chapter was so fitting. Morax and Ajax arguing was also just perfect, having Ajax trying so hard to make the things he did look less big then they are and Morax just completely shutting him down- And that part where Morax is like "Who's the martial god, huh? Who is it, God of Annihilation?" like plssss Morax is so sassy I love it.

Morax comparing himself to Rex Lapis just- ugh my little heart can be heard breaking. Don't worry, you'll get there honey-

ok. I think I said all I wanted to say... at least I can't think of anything else off the top of my head...

anyways thanks again for another celestial chapter! It was wonderful! Like always!

Oh and this might just be my personnal opinion but don't worry about the chapter lenght, I don't mind it being, like you said, "stupidly beastly" I actually love it like that, but I don't mind shorter chapters either! Don't force yourself to make longer chapters just for me haha

Anyways, have a great time, thanks again!

-Love, Nera, the 6reeze enthousiast <3

my average chapter lenght is like between 6k and 8k so whenever it exceeds that i'm just like- well i guess this is it hahah;;

the mutiny in the original timeline did come after the split, and yeah, pheynix is by far the shade on 'best terms' w celestia (mostly sophorn and the non-combatants) since she's the gentlest. i don't think i've put this anywhere in the fic yet and i don't think it's a spoiler so here, exclusive tumblr early access content (?): skirk is the god of death and istaroth is the god of time, so by that rule the other two are also gods of important things. i decided at the very start that andromache would be the god of justice (maybe a very specific justice so that it doesn't clash w focalors, just like how skirk is the god of death in battle/god of the slaughtered while istaroth is the god of time but as in moments/kairos), and pheynix would be the god of life (again, something more specific. idk, like- the kind of gentle hopeful life that's like those images of little growing plants in a field of nothing but ashes). that's why she's in charge of the garden, as sophron said; the inteyvat isn't strictly alive but it's the best they could give her to look after since they already had dendro gods in charge of the actual greenery of the island.

oop accidentaly infodumped there- it's the zhongli pfp curse. anyway, all that to say that you're spot on; everything that happened in the og timeline that hasn't yet happened (and won't) in the 'new' timeline kinda built up the idea of mutiny more and more. and so when the split happened, by far the most drastic and shocking event so far, and then asmoday and zagan decided to thanos snap the remaining population in a tantrum, sophron and pheynix n everyone else said "ok yeah fuck this we ball"

anyway uhhhh- thank you;;; <3 <3 <3 <3

[nokingsonlyfooles]

Yeah. Knew it was gonna happen. Feeling mad about this.

Health-related vent with some info if your thyroid might be a messy bitch too. Just typing it out so my head doesn't blow up.

Myopathy in Hypothyroidism (quoth VeryWellHealth, I looked it up to make sure I wasn't hallucinating out of anger/relief)

Muscle weakness

Creatinine levels tend to be normal

Cramping (uncommon)

Rarely, issues with the muscles involved in swallowing and breathing (rare)

"Rarely, hypothyroidism can cause severe muscle symptoms. One example is Hoffman's syndrome. This is when a person develops muscle hypertrophy (enlarged muscles). It can lead to significant muscle stiffness, weakness, and pain."

Yeah. Ha. Yeah. In other news, in my body right now: 1)Hypertrophy of a muscle on the inside of my right thigh, causing constant pain and difficulty walking. 2)Shoulder that locked up the Winter of 2021 and continues to do so on a daily basis, making it difficult for me to type or draw. 3) Regular back spasms. 4) Occasional spasms of all kinds! 5) Sleep apnea that's resisting the CPAP.

And, if we count my mother, who died before she turned 70, all of the above, just in different places (with the exception of an apnea diagnosis, she never got one, she just had a horrible time sleeping) plus difficulty swallowing, weakness, falls, and brain fog. She had a million different diagnoses, and no follow up on any of them when she got no relief. To the best of my knowledge, nobody ever told her, "Hashimoto's, and Synthroid may not be enough to treat it."

She either killed herself shortly after yet another surgery, or aspirated her own vomit and died with no help from the pain meds they gave her. "Issues with muscles involved in swallowing and breathing," yes.

This is my life. This has been my whole life. Optimistically speaking, this has taken half my life, and my circumstances are irreparably different because of it. Might I have had children if I knew my mom's lifelong physical and mental health issues were down to an under-treated thyroid? Maybe! And if they'd been treating mine, my uterus and ovaries probably wouldn't have been so screwed up they needed to be yanked out and thrown away. Might I have been able to hold down a job and had a career without that constant pain and anxiety? Who knows! Might I have had enough strength to keep pushing and get published traditionally, thus being absorbed and rewarded by the broken system I've devoted my total-lack-of-notoriety to fighting and working without? Beats me! Would I still have two living parents and some ability to get closure for what I went through growing up? A riddle for the ages!

If my new doctor sticks with it and finds something that works for me, this is all the marbles. I did not over-state how important this was. This is my quality of life, for the rest of my life. But I look back, and there's so much I've already lost that I'll never get back. It's just gone.

Before this, there was nothing to stop me from being unable to eat, or breathe, or move, and going out just like my mom. Her story would've been mine - only mine would've been shorter. Going down the generations, my grandmother had a lot of these issues, just less severe. It was getting worse. The Agent Orange they dropped on my dad surely did not help. I was able to figure out what was going on thanks to internet access, but I couldn't get anyone to confirm it or treat me. I fought like hell, and it took someone who loved me to intervene on my behalf. Someone with a Y chromosome. And now I still need One Good Doctor to see me through. Just one, out of all of 'em. Please, Lord, just the one.

If you got a little extra in you, God, I could use a few more - this gremlin has been ripping up my health for a long time and there's consequences - but maybe I won't die choking on my own vomit in 25 years if just this one works out.

This isn't me. You know that? I've been sick my whole life. I still am. I have no idea if the broken coping mechanisms I developed to deal with this are gonna go away. I don't know who I am. I'm not a ball of anxiety in constant pain that can't hold down a job, but I have no idea who I am.

I hope I get to meet me at some point.

Geez, and I hope you like me too.
