Hiii, I ADORE your chain as Cryptids AU, all of your art is gorgeous and every character is wonderfully unique, I wanted to ask for a lil more lore if possible? While Four is my favorite character we have not had nearly enough asks for Hyrule! And fairies in general, in your au are they more fae-like with some trickster tendencies or very kind and giving like the Minish? Thoughts on bottles, etc? TYSM!

Oh boy oh boy do I have some Hyrule Thoughts. And some general fairy thoughts as well!

(Under the cut because this is gonna get long)

For this au, I’m thinking of just Zelda fairies. Little glowing balls of light that flutter on fragile wings, iridescent and magical and gentle. Fairies have an affinity for magic: all kinds of magic, though they’re best known for their healing abilities. There isn’t a single archetype of what a fairy’s behavior will be. Some can be tricksters, some can be kind, some can be shy, some can have the most ill of intentions. Fairies are like people, really, in that they’re not just all one thing. (This is what separates them from spirits, really. They’re just on the cusp of ascension, but unlike Koroks or Blupees or Dragons or anything like that, they cling to their mortality and allow themselves to grow and evolve. Because of this, Hyrule is not a part of the telepathy circle).

There are many communities of Fairies, and they tend to group up around a Great Fairy as their leader. There are some colonies that are independent of Great Fairies, though, but they are rare to find, as they are at a much higher risk.

You see, while Fairies are magical, they’re very fragile. Usually, a typical Fairy wouldn’t posses enough magic to defend themself against a Hylian captor. Docile and tiny, they’re quite easy to bottle up and carry off, and easily discarded once they’re used. Great Fairies are much more powerful than the average Fairy, and even more powerful than a Hylian, so sticking around them is preferred. They protect the others.

Hyrule is a very unique case. You see, he was born with the Spirit of the Hero. For this au, the Spirit of the Hero acts as an enhancer for any kind of spiritual or magical power a Link already possesses. For example, Twilight is only able to shift because he’s descended from a God and possess the Hero’s Spirit. (Otherwise, one of his parents would have had God Powers TM too, and they probably wouldn’t have died so soon).

In Hyrule’s case, having the Hero’s Spirit grants him much more magic than a typical Fairy- almost as much magic as a Great Fairy herself. All of this power in such a small frame… no one is the wiser. Hyrule has enough magic to properly defend himself (if he had any sort of training… which, as a child, he didn’t) and most importantly, he has enough magic to hold a Hylian disguise for a LONG TIME. His glamour can change the way that he’s perceived but cannot change his actual shape. Others can see and even touch his changed form, but it is not real.

ANYWAY. Yeah. Bottles. Fairies are afraid of them, are afraid of Hylians. And Rito and Gerudo and Gorons and Zora and monsters and literally everything under the sun. When you’re two inches tall, everything is a threat.

Fairies are hunted mercilessly by Hylians, mostly. They’re never killed, not outright, but they’re taken from their colonies and shoved into a tiny bottle, sometimes for weeks and months on end (Fairies don’t starve as quickly as other species would, able to expend magic to keep their little bodies functioning). That being said, they often do not survive captivity. A tiny little bottle, often shoved in a bag and jostled around, no light, no food or water, all alone, just glass on all sides. It’s no place for a Fairy. Even if they do make it out (after expending magic to heal whatever wound they were abducted to treat), they will rarely make it back to their Great Fairy before succumbing to magical exhaustion or being captured again.

On the topic of magical exhaustion: Fairies have a limited amount of magic they can expend before they have to recover. Even one as powerful as Hyrule has their limits. Recovery almost always means rest, and it can mean their body does a forced shut down and simply stops working for days at a time. Often, Fairies are more hungry when they’re recovering, as magic can no longer be used to sustain the body.

Hyrule is less vulnerable to this than other Fairies would be, but when he’s standing next to the Chain? And every single one of them is hurt? After a fight where he’d used his magic to take down dozens of monsters? All while keeping up his glamour? Yeah, he’s gonna be feeling that one.

Telltale signs of magical exhaustion before it gets to the point of actually passing out: Physical exhaustion, drowsiness. Headaches, sudden hunger. Feeling cold. Often, the other heroes might notice Hyrule picking up an extra serving at mealtimes or ask to huddle up with someone at night (oftentimes Sky, as his wings are very warm and he doesn’t bat an eye when asked to cuddle). Hyrule sleeps longer, but never seems to gain any more energy.

Magical exhaustion, if pushed too far, can be fatal.

ANYWAY. When Hyrule first joins the Chain, he forces all of them to free any Fairies they might have. He enforces that rule as others join, and is hesitant to lower his glamour. I’m think that for a long time, they don’t even know he’s a Fairy. He’s terrified that if they find out, they’ll bottle him up and use him for healing and never let him go. For. Long time, he’s terrified of them. Fairy Bottlers surround him. It’s not until he physically cannot keep his “Hylian” form up that the others find out what he is, and he never expected them to be so understanding. So… apologetic. Actually legitimately regretful of their Fairy Bottling pasts.

ONE MORE THING. Four can turn Minish sized. When Hyrule works himself to magical exhaustion and passes out, he goes back to his True Form, the two inch tall lil Fairy. And of course, when that happens, it’s really really difficult for the Chain to move him or help him without accidentally hurting his tiny body. So Four will shrink down and help him to bed, check to make sure that he wasn’t hurt when he fell unconscious, and stay with him at their size so he’s not alone when he wakes.

I have many more thoughts but this is getting actually so long. I apologize!

Wish there were more people like you who were open to exploring dynamics between two characters in an alternate universe where they are not bound by familial relationship/title or whatever it's called. I get it tsams/tlaes have a lot of family things going on and a-specs things but eh what do I expect from a fandom that started the hate on sunxmoon shippers? I'll continue shipping sunxmoon, eclipsexsun, solarxmoon and solarxearth(thanks to that one anon from before for introducing me to this) not as family related, and the fandom can suck it

Honestly.

Like one person told me "Moon and Solar are brothers" once.

And?..

They're not.

That's like saying Ink and Dream or something from the Undertale Au verse are brothers cause they're alternate realities of eachother and people ship them all the time???

"but they have the same face"

So???

So does Lolbit and Funtime Foxy. They're a couple in SBshow verse.

Mickey and Minnie mouse have the same face and no one raises stink about the most classic example of same face syndrome.

They're robots and I think physical appearance matters very little to them in the grand scheme of things. But that might just be my demisexual ass talking.

On a side note, I know the VA for Earth, Aka: Kat has been very "ship and let ship" with the fandom. And I think that's why in the Solar therapy session, she clarified that she knows Solar isn't biologically related. Technically none of them are, she just wants to consider him part of the family.

I remember awhile back the fandom was so hostile to people who saw Lunar as an adult and would draw him in adult situations. (Like taxes/half joking you know what I mean)

And I believe that was the last big drama the actors like Davis was directly involved in before he took a step back from that and told the fandom to sort it out themselves. And I really don't blame him. There are people who are crazy and just feel entitled to things.

And in more recent episodes, Lunar has stated more frequently that he is an adult animatronic of sound mind who can make his own decisions, so that they can put that issue to bed with the discourse.

(I personally think that gen1/2 Lunar was very much a kid psychology and through the course of the course of the show, and due to his experiences and truama he grows up in two years and he's a young adult now. This reflects in every time he has a model change or appearance.)

See this is what I mean when I say they are robots. Robots can grow up from 13 to 24 (approximately) in the span of two years. Robots can change their mind about family dynamics and say "you know what I think that i don't feel like a cousin, as what I feel for Moon is more intense then familiar bonds. So I change my mind." And this is allowed. This is allowed. Like I would not think this way about human characters.

People in the transformers fandom are really familiar with this concept as well. At least the few people I talk to from an outsider perspective. The transformers robots change their relationships in canon to eachother all the time from what I hear.

And yes. I know tsams is focused on themes of family and found family and togetherness. Like I'm not media illiterate. I know what one of the themes are. For some reason, people think I don't know tsams is about family.

Like bruh.

This whole show took two years for them to build the family and support network they all have with eachother when before the show was a toxic family relationship with Sun and Moon only. And I think it's beautiful how it evolved and how many characters there are and how big the family is now!

It's great!

And I do separate in my brain what's going on in canon and what's going on in my shipping brain.

This doesn't mean I can have fun on the side. With silly speculations and silly headcanons.

Giggling to myself and twirling my hair about the "what ifs" and aus

Staying out of the main tags and talking to my own friends with my own company.

While also analyzing the show and leaving tsams lots of long lovely YouTube comments about what the show is actually about.

Also. Consider this.

Since the multiverse is canon in tsams, in definition, by their own rules, there is a universe where everything in tsams is the same, except your ship is canon.

Evil!Sun even said that Sun and Moon being brothers is more rare across dimensions then we initially assumed.

So they're either enemies, strangers, they killed eachother, or something else.

They only are brothers after their canon event of separating and agreeing to work together. So there are some universes where that never happened.

Meaning most likely that our Moon's portal runs on a central finite curve.

So take that as you will.

Are there notable angels/demons in the File Recovery universe based on works such as the Ars Goeta or the Shem Ha-Mephorash? If so, what are they?

I've taken some light inspiration from the Ars Goeta (Stolforns name is really just a combination of Stolas+Forneus) and Dantes Inferno but have mostly strayed from mentioning specific demon names/locations and themes in other works.

Well I guess besides the Bible- again File Recovery is based round a lot of complex religious thoughts I had going to catholic school/church as a kid so I consider it impossible for me to not to take influence from the old and new testament, the seven virtues, saints, confirmation, communion etc... idk I just want more religious fantasy stories that aren't all about converting people or modern day politics

#ask #anon #also the fact that the majority of modern religious based stories kinda suck major ass and never really...dares to be anything interesting #like the best thing that would happen in bible class is when they let us watch prince of egypt #or when they read to us a kiddie version of the pilgrims progress #and i just thought the worldbuilding was the coolest thing as 5th grader #course the narnia books too were like everywhere in school but my faves were the latter books where everything just goes horribly wrong #response #sorry i rambled

Right, re: the sexism in TDS1, i think the season definitely engages with the sexism and violence of rust and marty in interesting ways. I forget the exact quote but early on rust says something like "I'm a bad man, we need bad men to keep other bad men from the door" which I've always found to be a pretty on the nose commentary on these themes. Marty & Rust justify their violence, sexism, and abuse of people's rights because they see themselves as good guys (in Marty's case), or in service of a greater good/lesser evil (in Rust's case). Which, they are the protagonists and sympathetic so I understand & in many ways agree with a reading that, like most cop shows, TD kind of ends up valorizing rust and marty. ANYWAY I've always thought it to be engaging with it the way you framed it in that other ask - the women and children in these men's lives are treated like shit, and I don't think the show justifies how they're treated like shit (tbh i don't even think the show paints women in a shitty way or blames them, it's that the protagonists do that which isn't the same), but MARTY justifies his behavior by believing that (1) its Not That Bad because it could be so much worse and (2) I'm A Hard Working Hero and I Deserve Slack. This ended up very rambling but i hope that makes sense

i think the most interesting thing about season one is that rust and marty are both not good people, as you mentioned rust views himself as a bad man but a correct bad man. he breaks laws and abuses his police power and uses violence to get what he wants but he does all of it because he knows/believes that it's the only way to get the badder man, the man abusing and killing women and children. his bad actions are correct and validated in his head because he has to catch his bad guy. obvi being undercover in narco for as long as he was changed him and how he views the law, like how he tells the woman he buys drugs from that "of course im dangerous, im police. i can do bad things with impunity". i can sympathize with rust far more than marty because you can see more/understand more why rust became who he is.

marty is a cheating controlling asshole who treats women like property and wants to impose his view of womanhood onto them. he gets mad when rust mows his lawn and talks to his wife when marty isn't home because marty is a cheater and most cheating men assume all other men are cheaters. but he feels it is warranted how he treats women, he tries every excuse in the book to write off his behavior to his wife but at his core he does what he wants and doesn't care much how it hurts others. he only cares because it affects him, he blames his mistress for ruining his family as if he didn't ruin it by sleeping with him.

rust is defined as a type of outlaw detective who does whatever he wants, regardless of using violence and police red tape, because he has convinced himself that he is right about his theory. he will put himself and marty in countless dangerous situations, attack and kill people (especially in the drug plot in the middle of the season) because he has convinced himself all of this has to happen. granted, at the end of the show rust Was right about everything so his actions seemed warranted but even he states that he was aware he might have been insane in his actions. he is so far gone into his desire for justice and to catch His killer nothing else matters, after he caught his killer the only thing he mentions about the case is how he didn't realize who it was when he first met him.

marty is interesting to me because he a womanizing cheating asshole who will hit his daughter without hesitation and cheat on his wife whenever he wants but will blow a suspect's head off because he was abusing children and finally quits because of a violent death of an infant. he claims being a family man is so important and wants rust to get a woman but breaks apart his own family because of what he wants.

anyways. i love when the main characters are bad people, far more interesting that way.

#written in blood #sorry i rambled #rust is far more justified to me because while he does arguably worse shit than marty does his actions are more pure #everything bad he does is tied to catching a worse man. marty does bad things because he wants to

What do you think The Lazarus Pit feels, tastes, and smells like? Because you’re going to get some in your mouth and nose. What are your thoughts?

Oh that’s a good question!!!

I don’t know a ton of lore on Lazarus Pits, so correct me if I’m wrong or there’s a canon interpretation. But I think there’s a variety of interesting options:

Salty, kind of like blood. Thick and full of iron, slightly warm. Like swallowing someone else’s blood.

Bitter and rancid. Like decomposition fluids or rotting garbage. Cold and just barely liquid, choking you as it slides down your throat.

Sweet in a cloying, suffocating way. Like the sweetness of fresh decomposition. Covering up something worse underneath.

Acidic. It burns you alive, and enters every orifice of your body. Stinging, flaying pain that sinks deep into your skin and is inescapable.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. A weightless, maddening sensory deprivation.

I know I'm probably not supposed to but ..... I don't exactly think Donnie was in the wrong for his outburst.Like, whether or not Leo meant to he did destroy something that meant a lot to Donnie and they just lived through an exhausting nightmare. On a good day Donnie struggles with emotions and he's being asked to suddenly emotionally deal with something way out of his wheelhouse. It doesn't really feel fair that he's suddenly forced to be more emotionally intelligent than he ever has before because of something Leo kinda did do to himself. Leo is a lot younger than Donnie now but Donnie is still a kid himself. Idk I've just been thinking about your au Donnie a lot

YOU'RE SO RIGHT THOUGH!!!!

I have a lot of thoughts about Donnie in this au, like he really is putting 100% into fixing the problem and getting basically nothing back from Leo. Like sure, Leo is just a kid and is scared and stuff, but Donnie is really truly just trying to get him back to the right age!!!

I've been in Donnie's position before of being rightfully frustrated but having to be the 'bigger person' ( in his case literally lmao) so I really wanted him to be able to get frustrated and get mad

oh man not even the fact that he's probably both physically and mentally exhausted:

(idk how legible this is but Donnie and Raph have slept ONCE throughout this entire ordeal )

I made a little timeline because you're so right and I have so many thoughts I can't even express about why Donnie isn't in the wrong in his frustration.

Also YEAH LEO DESTROYED LIKE??? PRECIOUS CHILDHOOD ART?? And I will say with 1000% certainty that it was super important to Donnie cause it truly was his first collaboration with Leo !!! and it was like!!! idk it wasn't like their first fight ever but it was the first time Leo had actually tried to make up for something he did ( even though it was an accident, it really showed him that 'Oh Leo actually does care about me even though we fight a lot' )

augh aug augh I have so many thoughts about this cause being able to see that Donnie is not a true anatagonist in this story is something reaslly important to me yknow???

#sorry i rambled #it's just so!!!! #important!! #cause yeah he yelled but he is so beyond frustrated #like i would yell too #and frankly its not fair that Leo gets to be upset and Donnie doesn't #THEY SHOULD ALL GET TO BE UPSET!!! #TY ANON CAUSE YOU GET IT YOU COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND

i agree with you about peaking behind the curtains and seeing how awful the federation really is! (plus honestly elena's design is SO cute) i do wish theyd put the lore back in the hands of the islanders though </3 but we cant have everything i guess LOL

I LOVE HER, Also the implications that she’s behind so many of the destructive creations of the federation is sooooo !!!!!! Wow lady you sure have some fucked up morals keep at it I hope you get WORSE

She’s like if cucurucho knew social cues and tried to justify what it does in the base of “it’s for the greater good of the future !! For science !!”, she’s so so cool and opens so many possibilities for other characters

But also !!!! we have gotten some story from the islanders tho. We got stuff from Phil, Antoine dropping subtle stuff, Tubbo, Roier and Pepito’s conflicting issues, and Bagi and Tina’s relationship development, and of course the eggs relationships with one another developing.

Some are more tame than others but it’s still story

Hello! Do you mind sharing the edible cookie dough recipe you tried ? I've been trying to find it on IG but I trust you more than the 500 random videos I've seen.

yeah doesnt help that they implemented the new "ask meta ai!" shit instead of a proper search

this was the video that kept showing up in my feed in fb AND insta. I did see the original vid too but ignored it because fitness bullshit but I stumbled across enough of Liams videos to think hes pretty decent and transparent.

I did not follow that recipe because I hate almond flour and also peanut butter. I used oat flour instead and vanilla protein powder and nestle mini chocolate chips. I tried the m&ms and it was awful do not recommend tbh even if it WAS that our m&ms were Bad the acid in the yogurt melted the dye off the m&ms and made the mixture soooo gross looking (and if you can taste the dye like i can then its also a bad time!)

I also made a batch this morning without any sugar at all and found i dont need it so will be leaving it out in the future. Oh i had been using brown sugar which i think gave it more of that cookie dough flavor than maple syrup or honey would.

I don't pay too much attention to measurements, I go by consistency, but roughly I use

2 cups of old fashioned oats (i use bobs red mill gluten free oats)

2 scoops of vanilla milkshake protein powder (i honestly just grabbed the smallest container my grocer had, but recently bought the quest brand and will try that next time)

fage greek yogurt, plain, 5% fat (because fuller fat yogurt tastes better! fight me! I'm not doing this for ~healthy~ uwu im doing this for Please Get Protein In Your Body I Beg), this is where I eyeball it. I add more yogurt if it's too thick, a large spoonful at a time.

I put the oats and protein in a food processor, and then add the yogurt, but if you use preground alt flour you can jhst use a bowl. I recommend adding everything a little at a time into whatever is thickest (so if you use peanut butter, add yogurt to that, and then the flour and protein).

Also a friend tried this with regular flour and a non whey based protein and a non dairy yogurt and was. Non enthused. I'm sure if you play around with the flavors YOU like you can find something but I don't think this can be made dairy free tbh but I also tried every DF yogurt I could find and they were all disgusting. So. (also ifnyou use regular flour pls bake it first. but tbh i dont really recommend it bc raw wheat flour just. doesnt add the same flavor oat or nut flours do.)

I'm also curious about using chocolate protein powder and nutella I think that'd taste gr8. Outside if the absurd cost of protein powder, this really is a good base recipe to use if you wanna try messing around with recipes you find online. People may give me flack for drastically changing this recipe but pls I based it off my moms oatmeal cookies all it was missing was coconut flakes lol

#bookbird babbles #ezra gets a letter #food #SORRY I RAMBLED #ive for real eaten this nearly every day since i found it #i just make a large batch and eat a spoonful after dinner #sometimes for breakfast #its a great way to eat yogurt because it doesnt taste like yogurt! especially after its been sitting in the firdge overnight!!!! #and i realy do feel better eating yogurt in a way just taking probiotics doesnt do #i should look for different mini chocolate chips but nestle is always the cheapest and most palatable at the store :/

What are aspects about Drarry fics that are important to you? Like something you personally "need" to happen or an aspect of Harry and Draco personality that you consider vital, or something how Ron and Hermione react to the Drarry romance etc etc

Hi anon,

God, that's a good question. And a big one! But I'll try to keep it as brief/top level as I can, otherwise I might be here all day.

And a disclaimer: these are simply my preferences. I'm not saying these things are vital for Drarry to work, I'm saying they're what I, personally, prefer to read (and write).

Anyway, prepare for a fresh serving of word salad.

Gay Draco. This is a big one for me. I just can't see it any other way, so I find it really difficult to buy any other intepretation, so as a personal preference it does make reading less enjoyable for me when his (to me) blatant homosexuality isn't embraced/explored/acknowledged what have you. However! I do really love a good lavender marriage Drastoria. I explored that in Precious Metal.

As an extension of that, I find it hard to buy a Draco who is totally promiscuous and hedonistic post-war. It's not a trope I ignore though! I've seen it done really well (and haven't totally dodged writing it myself either!), but I do so love a repressed and/or sexually/romantically inexperienced Draco (and a hardworking Draco whose career post war is important to him) - it's a trope that makes me want to read something right away! I love it so much. Having said that, I really enjoy Draco having been in previous relationships with other men/boys before Drarry, too. Especially if it's like - a secret school relationship/hookup situation with another classmate who isn't Harry. Something for Harry to get in his head about and/or rile him up. Yum.

I love a slutty Harry. I think most people have probably guessed this.

Harry with a short temper. Draco with a petty mean streak.

A Draco who is real and will point out what's wrong with Harry but will often forget to address his own issues.

A Harry who is earnest and won't put up with Draco's cute I-will-be-passive-aggressive-with-you-until-you-do-what-I'm-thinking-because-I-expect-you-to-be-psychic attitude for too long.

A Draco who pushes Harry away. A Harry who pulls Draco closer.

A physically and magically competent Draco. A nerdy Draco.

Terrible communication, fics where one or both of them is gone on the other and they don't know how to express it, a really good and believable enemies to friends/allies that eventually develops into lovers, a fuckbuddies who fall in love story.

Harry and Draco who recognise each other's faults. Perhaps before they realise their own.

I love hurt/comfort and I'm a sucker for Harry doing the hurting and Draco doing the comforting... via tough love.

I can't read (or write) something that is purely nihilistic/whump. I need something underneath that to balance it out. Tenderness, vulnerability, and sensuality are absolutely key in my writing. It's important I include all three. So, by extension, I love when a fic I'm reading also incorporates these.

Humour! I need humour. But not humour for humour's sake: humour for a human touch, for levity, for getting out of a bad situation/conversation - such is life (and such is being British lmao). Love when a fic gets this balance right (@wrapped-up is a Wolfstar writer who nails this every time).

Oh god I haven't gotten to Ron and Hermione yet. Sorry! Maybe I can come back to that with a part 2 if anyone is interested in some more word salad.

Cheers!

in my head terusai are both such losers for eachother but in the deep recesses of my mind theyre so sweet and loving. enough toxic codependent yuri they are sweet communicative yuri. they actively make eachother better and more understanding people amd i think its sweet. in my head terusai is full of conflicting emotions but in the very end they always find a safe space with eachother, no matter hoe many doubts and issues they run into they understand that their love is unconditional and soft. they may not be the best at expressing their emotions but that's okay because they love eachother. they love eachother and honestly thats enough. theyre enough. they will always be enough. they could fail and mess up time and time again but in the others eyes they will always be a beacon of love. a beacon of life. they are like the bees and the flowers, both can be ugly and harmful but they love eachother. they dont discriminate between themselves nor do they judge eachothers flaws. they understand the need between them for support and love and readily provide it. albeit, theyre both emotionally closed off (in different ways) but they understand eachothers subtle nuances. no, kusuo cant freely remind kokomi that he loves her, but she knows what he means when he tidies her room for her. she knows what he means when he leaves her a serving of coffee jelly despite knowing she doesnt like it half as much as he does. and it works in reverse too, kokomi may not know how to express the utter depth of her affections but when kusuo sees her in the kitchen baking a cake he gets it. when she gets as close as possible without making physical contact he gets it. they love eachother in a way that is raw yet soft. they love within boundaries that others may not understand, yet not once does that cause their love to falter. not once.

Hello, I love your DP sketches! Did you make your current sketchbook yourself, or did you buy it? What does it look like? (How many pages, the dimensions, etc?) Also, do you do any preliminary pencil sketches beforehand, or do you sketch completely in pen? I don't mean to bombard you with questions; I'm an artist myself looking to get back into sketchbooking and I'm totally impressed by yours.

Keep up the fantastic work! ✨

I make most of my sketchbooks! It's just easier than finding a new one I like every time lol. My current one as of answering this question is a planner from before I was born that was found in the garage, but the last... three? I think? Possibly (probably) more.

My sketchbooks are 6'x4.5' (roughly) and have 160 pages + end pages because my favourite paper for them is small dollar store spiral-bound sketchbooks by DaVinci.

They look like this:

I remove the spiral binding and slice the holes off the pages, then fold them into either eight signatures of five or ten signatures of four and stitch them together into a hardcover book that's of perfect size to fit into my pockets or a little purse I have :)

...Which is admittedly entirely a coincidence and, in fact, simply a pleasant bonus that comes with my paper choice lol.

I bind the book verrry standardly other than the fact I often use tape for the spine and use literally as little glue as possible during the process because man fuck having to glue 10 things when you can do 5.

I sew the end pages in as their own signatures, glue the spine, glue some paper to the spine to make it sturdier (able to be combined with step before but not recommended), and glue the cover of the book.

I do sketch completely in pen though! Sometimes I sketch in other things too but I have a horrible habit of not erasing unless absolutely necessary so it's just... more sensible to me to sketch in pen unless I'm doing a real fancy piece like a watercolour painting- therefore not in my sketchbook lol.

I think there's a total of... 2 pages in my current sketchbook that have drawings not in pen? and that's entirely because I didn't have a pen ++ I treated them exactly the same as doing with pen.

If I'm going to colour them I usually decide that afterwards! Then I don't care about the sketchiness of the pen showing, or if I do I take a picture of the drawing and go over it with proper lineart/resketch it digitally but I honestly really recommend pens. My favourite ones are from the dollar store lol

literally saved 2020, one of the best comebacks of that year and the music video is amazing considering it was during covid. i love the whispering in it, the Melodies, i think it was txt’s first EMO/bad boy concept and they had something to prove a kpop industry TO SAVE !!

way home - minisode blue hour:

another 2020 banger, she’s so underrated but she sounds like glitter and pixels and magic i love her, she makes me feel so in love with everything <3

ghosting - minisode blue hour:

my favourite song ever she’s so gentle with it the boys sound amazing. she’s a song for coming of age or falling in love :( it’s like listening to fairies singing a lullaby

magic island - dream chapter magic:

comfort song gives me the motivation to keep going, i listen to her whenever i need a hug or a good cry

our summer - dream chapter star:

txt had just debuted and they needed to show 4th gen how it’s DONE ‼️ definitely a summer road trip song, the orchestral version is equally as incredibly, it makes me wanna hang out with my friends and reminds me of picnics with sunsets idk

0X1=LOVE SONG - chaos chapter freeze:

hello hello? the song that solidified my love for txt and as my ult group (sorry bts) this song is so 3rd gen kpop coded, so angsty but so beautiful i think i cried the first time i listened and then learned the lyrics right after. would give anything to hear her for the first time again

Your post about Daniel's LinkedIn page reminds me of a theory I had awhile back. I think Daniel wrote a "fiction" novel called The Devil's Minion back in the day, but he never got it published. He'll be reminded of it in s2 and as he's reading the old manuscript, we'll see the story onscreen

oh, that would actually be pretty cool. like we know daniel never finished the book he was writing in 85, from that one trailer. the part where they mention alice and daniel says something about never finishing the book and leaving without paying the bill. that could have been the book he was writing! i mean, probably a straight (and maybe even white) washed version of it, since it was 80s. and daniel seems to struggle with his sexuality. unless he was writing under a pseudonym, which is what he did when he wrote iwtv in the books. and

(also book lestat used a pseudonym to write his books. do you think he used daniel's pseudonym, and has basically been plagiarizing him this entire time? or did he publish under a different pen name and publish what was technically fanfic of daniel's iwtv? you don't have to answer that. i just wonder these things)

but yeah, that could have been what he was writing. maybe he meant to publish it as a sort of goodbye, or as a romantic gesture toward Armand (maybe trying to win him back? perhaps armand is tired of sharing daniel with his family? or maybe armand left him so he could have his family, but he didn't take his memories?)

then alice tells him she's pregnant. daniel realizes he can't leave her now. one kid she could manage by herself, but not two. bc it's the 80's and even though the EPA was passed in 63 it wasn't exactly strictly adhered to, and there's still that wage penalty for motherhood thing going on, and while maternity leave was given, it could still get given unpaid or underpayed. it all depended on where you worked. we didn't get fmla until 93. daniel could literally be leaving his wife and children for at least 6-12 weeks. even at 6 weeks, or hell, maybe she got those weird mom hormones and liked hulked it out and only took 4 weeks. That's still a month with no income, so the only she'd have is what's left in her and daniel's joint account, bc that's a goddamn crazy thing that married couple's do, like to this day. and daniel is drug addict, that bank account is probably in the red. and alice is probably smart if daniel falls for her, in the books his two relationships are armand and marius. armand is extremely clever. but also a manipulative bastard. marius is basically a fucking philosopher. and also a manipulative bastard. so my theory is alice is also probably smart, and at least a little bit of a bastard. so that girl definitely has a run fund.

(let me explain the run fund thing to y'all that is too young to have heard about this. when you get to a certain age--it differs depending how far down south you are--your momma pulls you aside and tells you that you need a run fund. she may not call it that, there are different names for it, or she may try to phrase it more delicately so you don't think this is just about your father, bc it applies to all men. (and if you're mom is progressive, she'll say something like, 'or maybe a woman if that's how you turn out') i am from the south. i am telling the southern tale of this, where most of us are brought up baptist, so we're supposed to not think lustful thoughts, but at the same time, there's kinda this assumption that girls are like naturally chaste. like girls don't watch porn, girls don't masturbate, girls can enjoy sex, but never desire it. at the same time there are those women. whores, sluts, hoes, bad women. and their was a tight fucking line you had to walk to prevent yourself from being one of them. you know, typical virgin/whore complex shit. anyway i think i was around 16ish when my mom told me. it's your emergency stash of money you have hid away somewhere, something secret that he (or she) doesn't know about it. it's your 'get the fuck out money'. it's your 'if something happens' money. and your momma ain't gotta tell you what if something happens means, because you already know; it's if he hits you, if he hits the kids, if he forces you into it, if he touches you like that without your permission, if he touches one of the kids like that. it's your grab the kids and go money. if you're lucky it'll get you back to family or friends who can take you in. or maybe you have enough to shack up at some cheap motel for awhile. but don't sign anything with his name, use your maiden name if you can get away with it, and never ever use any of the checks or cards with his name on it, use your cash. only your cash. take the first job you can find, no matter how shitty. but always look for something better. leave the kids with whoever you can find to keep them, and then you just keep going til you find something better and you find something better and then one day finally you can fucking breathe and you realize that you're okay that got really long and over winded but i am, so fucking high rn.

anyway, what i'm saying is alice could have reasonably had enough money to float by a month or two hidden away, but daniel wouldn't know about it anyway. so from his point of view he'd be leaving his kids with zero income for at least a month. so he couldn't be a dick and do that, he'd have to stay until at least she could go back to work.

but of course he could always leave before she has the baby, like as soon as he fucking finds out. but there's a 50/50 chance she's on his insurance because sometimes it's better to be on your spouses insurance than use your own. so he could hypothetically leave his pregnant wife without access to medical care.

maybe he decides to try to 'do the right thing' and stay with alice until she's able to make it by herself. hell, maybe he decides to stay long term bc he decides he wants to be a good father and not abandon his kids.

or he does the easy thing and is like, 'armand, babe, could we send them money? i'd feel really bad about leaving them if we didn't' and then makes puppy eyes at armand, or something more x-rated if you're nasty.

and armand is either going to erase his memory 'for his own good' so he can go live a normal human life. or daniel is going to try to call things off for good, and armand knows he won't be able to give up what they have, so his erases his memories so he can go live his mortal life, but he's like, super bitter about it. or worse option, daniel could ask armand to wipe his memories of them so he can move on.

god, i have been rambling so much. i have strayed far from the original point into what seem like random tangents, but i promise on link together in a beautiful spiderweb in brain. like that silvery stuff in that one windows loading screen or screen saver or something. i think this may be back from the windows xp days.

but my point is i really like your theory. and kinda want write fic about it one day, far away (but only with your permission of course)

what is your current hyperfixation meal, song, activity, etc…?

well right now it's destiel and 911/buddie (my main account is a mix of these) and i've recently been watching gossip girl and scream queens. i love to eat these spicy noodles which i've eaten more times than i'd like to admit for about a year. and i make gifs of what i mentioned before which is really really fun, i've been doing that since july, i think. and the songs i keep playing on repeat are follow you by bring me the horizon, one right now by the weeknd + post malone, the last of the real ones by fall out boy, and baby i'm jealous by doja cat. thanks for asking! i love to talk about my hyperfixations.

#sorry i rambled #like i said i love to talk about things i love

vote sweet capn "if the band fights, we'll get out of tune!", "you can't STOP! THE! MUSIC!", "hear that, we'll just go underground!", "k_ks always got it right, that's why he's second in command!" cakes they can calm each other down in tense situations when the other is extremely upset about losing, k_k dreams about being cared for and loved by taller versions of their bandmates, risk their lives by going underground and rebelling together for a shared passion and hype up each others interests and desires (with sweet hyping up k_k when they say they want to be a car) among many other reasons

this is kinda unrelated to the polyship but music itself has been used as revolution a lot thrpugh history, the specific scenario of music being banned reminds me of a period in brazilian history, during a dictatorship, where songwriters were only allowed to write about how great brazil was, so in response some guys created a genre w positive lyrics but a dissonance due to a more tragic sounding melody, which is the origin of bossa nova. theres a very good video in english about that called "How Brazil's Music Hid Protest Inside Harmony" by Charles Cornell which i highly recommend

ANYWAY my point is sweet capn cakes is silly but also very real and i love that

just wanted to point out that when you started receiving hate was right after you posted about ur fan calls and ur concert experiences so I would say either an anti or someone who is very jealous of you

ohhhhh you know what that makes sense. I also got a really rude message a while back that I never published getting pissed that I'm from LA and saying that I moved here because idols often come here and that I'm probably a sasaeng?????? Like... bitch I've lived in LA my whole life (except the 3 years we lived in NYC) because of what my parents do for work and I've stayed here because of what I now do for work.. also got told in that same message that I'm pretending to be Korean even though I said I'm only part Korean. Because I had mentioned that my mother is half Korean half Native American and my dad is half Caucasian and half Japanese so like???? Why did they only focus on the Korean part when there's so much more to my background than that???? They had even admitted that they were the anon to originally ASK me if I was Korean and said it was a "test" to see if I was a "koreaboo"???? I legit had to look that word up bc wtf is that 😭😭😭 so idk if all the mean anons I've been getting are the same person orrrr??? either way. jfc.

but like, anyway, I don't particularly care, it doesn't get to me and I get to take the opportunity to use my many reaction images or make new ones which is fun tbh, sometimes it just throws me off though because some of the messages are just genuinely so ridiculous that I don't even bother to publish them lmfao
