How would Roo react to meeting Frisk? Like, does he act normal or go quiet?

As a precaution, he always JUDGEs/CHECKs everyone he comes across. Anyone with LV 5+ makes him nervous. 10+ and he's outta there.

So how he acts around Frisks depends on their LV, really. If the LV is fine, then he'll be friendly.

But for some reason, whenever he sees a Frisk, a tiny part of him feels... scared? He doesn't understand why.

It was really funny going from 'this could have been devil survivor 3....' to 'oh fuck P5 Tactica is really good' (Eri my friend my beloved my bestie is no small part in this), so I feel like asking-

What kind of Atlus games have you forayed into?

(I realise this question is coming off like megaten elitist which isn't intentional but words are hard so if I say like <there's literally no wrong answer, because it's not like Persona is magically bad because it's more popular or anything> that should alleviate that right? help lol)

hi! so glad you enjoyed it!

I've played basically the p5 suite (seen some of pq2 and most of the dancing scenes). i watched letsplays of 3 and 4 when i was a kid (i've been told I would love 2,... gotta get on that). i'll be revisiting 4 golden soon and playing reload when it comes out... so they'll get a refresher.

never played a mainline smt game, but i sure would like to!

and i have played catherine... which is definitely a.... loaded game (and i know fullbody has even more... load) but i think many parts of it are fun! just... needs to be consumed with a side of salt and critical thinking. performances in that game are fun though! also done by PCB if i remember correctly.

but hehe i hear you! i think persona games get a bit of a bad rap now for their popularity (especially 5?) which is silly. they're popular because theyre good :)

Happy STS!

What does your first draft look like? What kind of revisions do you do for a second, third etc? Do you drafts change a lot or a little between each?

Hey Kate, happy STS!

My [first drafts] typically look [RQ: what does a first draft look like?] a lot like this, only the text in [brackets] is in red and comprises things like [RQ: research question] and [notes to self, eg. "add in more details here"] and things like [fact-check whether or not people wore a certain brand of sneakers in the early 2000s] or [name this character]. Full of placeholders for future me to fill in. When in first person, they also tend to ramble a lot and go off on tangents that are mostly unrelated to the actual plot of the story - these almost never make it in full into a second draft, they're more for me to explore the narrator's character and get a grasp on their voice. The story tends to not read as all that cohesive in the first draft, and no one sees it. It's just meant for me to "figure out" the story and to have a foundation to polish later.

My later drafts and manuscripts tend to run on a continuum between "pretty different" and "unrecognizable" as compared to the first draft, depending on factors like how solid the original outline was and how close the first draft ends up being to my "vision" for the story, if that makes sense.

Spoiler for The Hunger Games : Mockingjay.

When you first read or watch Mockingjay, did you know or predict that Primrose was gonna die?

Who do you think were responsible for her death? Why?

If Katniss couldn’t protect Primrose until the end, was it all useless?

Disclaimer : these questions are for textual analysis, it's not meant to incite fandom war, please DNI if you don't like this topic.

Thank you.

@curiousnonny

When you first read or watch Mockingjay, did you know or predict that Primrose was gonna die?

I don't really remember. It's been so long, I just know I read the books ASAP around the first movie releasing.

Who do you think were responsible for her death? Why?

Coin. Gale (and Beetee) might have developed the bomb, workers might have loaded it on the plane, a pilot might have flown it here. However, Coin was the ultimate decision maker in her District, and the responsibility lies with her. Everyone else in that chain was a replaceable; they could have found another pilot, other workers, other developers (they could have even dropped a different bomb!, e.g. two in quick succession).

If Katniss couldn’t protect Primrose until the end, was it all useless?

No. Katniss might think this, and she might at times feel regret and wonder about the life she might have lived had Prim's name never been drawn. Death isn't a zero sum game, of course, and Prim's death will always hurt Katniss. However, many many live free now because of her. We only gain a limited perspective on what Panem looks like after the war. But we can guess that the fate of many lives and many generations were changed because of what Katniss did. On an individual level, Prim's death might feel like that. On a collective level, the price of freedom far outweighs the continued oppression.

Random question: what your current dressing style vs. the one you want??

My work outfits tend to be some sort of high-waisted slacks with either a turtleneck or a button-up shirt. I'm going for those dark academia androgynous vibes, once I make enough money to afford such a thing xD

Generally though, I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of person. I prefer high-waisted, loose pants but I've gotta find a better way to style wide leg pants. I'm trying to expand my wardrobe a bit to more casual, loose and button-up shirts but it's SO HARD to find ones that fit me well.

I also have an affinity for tank tops (which I aspire to get more confidence in wearing) and those A-line swing dresses, which I also have trouble finding.

It's taken years but I am getting to where I want to be style-wise. I spent a lot of years being insecure about the way I dressed, and just putting on really simple stuff because I felt like I didn't understand style and would look silly. The hardest thing is phasing out my current closet because I don't like getting rid of/wasting clothes, and I certainly don't have the money to just replace it anyways.

Below are some images straight off my pinterest board on the kind of style I aspire to XD I need a good blazer, honestly.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about 

(Ref: this ask.)

This is fun, because in a fandom as old as Harry Potter, you get this trove of Jossed Fanon that's been passed down since before the full series was even published and spread like apocrypha. E.g., "Snape is Draco's godfather," or "aurors are wizard police," when the books actually suggest they're this rarified order of warrior spies — sort of like if you tossed the Secret Service or the FBI in a blender with medieval knights. Wizards do have normal cops, we just don't see them, because the only issues Harry ever runs into with law enforcement are the Big Deal Problems they send the aurors out for, and since "auror" is a lot cooler to say than "wizard cop," most content ends up focusing on them.

But the spirit of the question is spicier than that, so I have to go with: "Harry grows up to be a teacher." This is a really sweet headcanon and I do prefer it to Auror!Harry, since I think he'd be unhappy in that job, but I also think Auror is a more realistic move, at least initially after the war. Because Harry hates school. He doesn't like it. He doesn't do his homework, he relies on Hermione for answers, he often doesn't pay attention in class, and his O.W.L. results set him up as a solid B-student. He only gets a top grade in one subject, and that's Defense Against the Dark Arts, pretty directly as a consequence of having been forced to practice it freestyle out of class for survival for the last five years. He's an effective instructor in OOTP, but Dumbledore's Army was a select group of heavily motivated children who were also his best friends in the world, all rallying under the imminent threat of fascism, and having worked somewhat as an educator I can say (with great affection for that job) the normal teaching experience is nowhere near as engaging for the instructor or the student. You have to love the material and/or really love working with the students, and I think that while Harry loves teaching his friends, that's a far cry from suggesting he'd like to work with eleven-year-olds for the rest of his life.

I think Hermione could be a teacher, sure. When she retires from the Ministry, I can totally see her taking Minerva's job as Headmistress, and she runs the fuck out of that school. But I think Harry's stint in the Aurors ends with him running off to go do something fun and unserious where he gets to fly a broomstick, like dragonkeeping, or maybe just raising his kids and being a rich famous househusband for Ginny. He's earned it.

What are your top 3 favourite games they’ve played on smosh games so far?

(or just your top 3 fave smosh games vids in general, if you want 🤗)

hmmMm i think i will show my soft spot for og sg here !

red flags, but specifically years ago when og sg played it as a game bang. for some reason i always associate that game with sg. i remember finding those videos hilarious the first time i watched them, and i ended up buying the game myself!

heroclix - i had to search up the name of this game. it's the marvel board game/dnd-type game that og sg played. i loved the story of this and how triumphant the ending was :>

don't win mario party. mario party itself is a pretty casual/accessible game, but i think when you flip it on its head, it makes it really comfy and fun for anyone to play.

#smoshblr december asks #replies #wallpaper-inside-my-heart #thanks for the q! #for anyone interested in rewatching pls note wes is in the first two and mraub is in the 2nd #also i watched a mario kart sg video as research for this question and. god i love mario kart #sgames

may i ask what kind of turntable you use?? im a cake decorator! i love seeing tools applicable across multiple art forms. keep it up with all your wonderful little guys

It's called a Banding Wheel & got it from my mom (who got it...sometime in the 80s or 90s when she was still doing pottery), so all I know is that it's made of steel & super heavy (weighs almost 20lbs!?) & is a similar idea to this one from Pottery Supply House (but again, more than 5x as heavy & bigger)!

It's definitely the same idea as a cake decorating turntable & I agree that it's neat when tools align across art forms!

Top 5 songs of this moment that you keep replaying

Fight Test - the Flaming Lips

All That You Are - Bear’s Den

Night’s Falling - Andrew Bird

Dog Days Are Over - Florence + The Machine (I may have bought the guardian of the galaxy vol 3 playlist on vinyl because of the way they used this song. Totally unhinged behavior 😂 but happy to have figured out my turn table situation so I could play it.)

Fought & Lost - Sam Ryder (this was a recent surprise because I didn’t care about the song until Hannah Waddingham did a duet with him like 48 hours ago)

Is there something Ethan & Luz struggled with about each other when they moved in together? Like a habit one of them had that used to drive the other crazy.

For sure! Ethan is very type A, so when Luz would leave her clothes lying around, leaving wine glasses and cups on the nightstand and coffee table without putting them away, his patience was tested.

“I’ll get to it later.” LIES.

But nothing drove him crazier than her habit of watching something before bed. He’d be trying to fall asleep and she’d have her laptop in front of her drooling over watching that Bridgerton guy.

For Luz it was his routine of waking up super early on Sundays when she wanted to sleep in.

They talked it over, of course, and were able to compromise bc it’s all about communication and respect.

i love tisha so much he is so cool,, now i need the kuobakhaya ramble though.. if u dont mind..

(big sign pointing at me that says: he forgot to finish replying to this when he drafted it)

anyway

well well well.. so her backstory is currently being reworked on because i wanna do several background checks for my own peace of mind, but basically:

kuobakhaya syrgenovna kuschut comes from sakha, specifically yakutsk. long story short, she was born there, but her parents decided to move towards western russia when she was still a toddler with the intention of living in a different climate (i am still in the process of deciding whether or not bakhya had siblings or not) but later on in her life she moves on her own to brighton, england, in hopes of being on her own and also because her lifetime friendship with tisha (which basically makes them feel like brother and sister) could grant her a possibility to start a new life.

i used to have a very streamlined/long version of her biography but i've been reworking it in my head. the gist of it is that she's always been easily subjected to peer pressure, despite having a fairly assertive personality, bakhya desperately thrives off of being liked by others. similarly to tisha she became a drug addict in her early teens thanks to peer pressure, and has suffered from it for more than a decade, all while trying to get clean multiple times without success. she is a young woman in her current age of 28 years old, basically the same age as tisha, and at this moment in time she's been trying to quit drugs by going cold turkey on them (she used to do heroin) even knowing that it'd be pretty disastrous for her. the idea of going to rehab is scary to her, basically. (don't worry though she does go eventually)

in spite of a hardly manageable lifestyle, and while coping and dealing with mental illnesses among with eating disorders, she survived also thanks to four main passions of her: herbalism (which her mother taught her a lot about ever since she was a kid, and the knowledge of which she enriched by herself as an adult), poetry, romance (as in, the genre) and music. extra is dogs. shes a dog girl through and through, she used to have one as a child too.

she owns a plant/florist shop where she resells plants and grows her own as well, and for a fun spin sometimes she prepares seeds and fertilizers that are entirely handmade. how she can manage the costs of this place can be explained by tisha's hefty paychecks (killing for a job can bring you quite the bag) and the accumulated money she gains from being a shopkeeper herself. it's tough but she hangs on. kuobakhaya may not be the perfect person but she is also very spiteful and very very much stubborn, as well as a bit of a hater (good for her, with the things she's dealt with i can't blame her) and in spite of her nervousness she whip up some pretty stinging insults if she wants. she isn't afraid of acting and being friendly with complete strangers but she is more awkward when it comes to opening up. she also hates when people demean her and behave towards her as if she's an aimless child just because she seems, and is, nervous a lot of the time. she hates people infantilizing her like that and she's very vocal about it, also because she is still "almost 30 fucking years old" (her own words)

but she has obviously softer sides, such towards dogs, poetry, and children and well, plants.

bonus fact is that she doesn't trust people enough to tell them her real name all the time so she often introduces herself as "valya" which is a pseudonym most folk that aren't intimate friends of her address her as. it helps her feel a little safer and grants her an extra layer of anonymity sort of. it's also the name she signs her poetry with

#59 Why did you join Tumblr?

Had a few friends who had started using Tumblr to share their art so I thought I'd give it a try too... That was probably almost 10 years ago now? Yikes

#11 What music are you listening to now?

Discovered that if you type 'Upside Down Playlist' into Spotify it'll give you a playlist of songs (based on your own listening habits) it thinks would help you escape hell

4. What is their size and build? How does it influence how they use their body, if it does?

barnes:

bucky is 6"0', ' trapezoid ' in build ( though the metal arm and its bracketing adds to this shape ) ( naturally, he'd be more rectangular ). his weight and muscle fluctuates. hydra kept him pretty stable with a mix of intravenous nutrition, plain macros, and hormones. immediately post-hydra he had to learn how to feed himself. he was operating on survival instinct so his 'feed-me' alert would go off but it wouldn't actually tell him how much food he needed. he only figured out he needs approximately three times the average adult's intake when he mistook high protein energy relief bars from a shelter as chocolate muesli which resulted in the best day he'd ever had up to that point. ( by comparison, steve who also has the super serum requires about 4 times the average adult male's caloric intake. ) while he experimented with calories ( sometimes limited by his location and what he could feasibly get his hands on ) he fluctuated a little. this can be seen in ca:cw where he looks a lot bulkier than in catws and tfatws. now, he manages himself fairly well ( reference is his size in tfatws. ) he's stronger by default thanks to the serum than the average goon. some of his hand-to-hand fighting style does rely on strength, but he's also agile and precise, fast-thinking, with plenty of stamina and knows how to take a punch in order to get the next couple in.

james:

james is 5"10' ( canon has him at 5"9' but they won't stop drawing him as some 6 foot motherfucker --- so i've compromised ) with a trapezoid to inverted-triangle build. he is leanly muscled --- slight, when compared to the likes of steve rogers, even sam wilson and clint barton ( though it really, really depends on what comic you pick up it's so inconsistent ) ( reference image which might explain it better than i can, which also happens to be an old face claim for james ) james isn't necessarily small but he certainly felt that way when he first got into fighting because he was always younger than the rest of his surroundings. as a result, he was up against larger, stronger opponents ( even when he picked the fights himself ) and so learnt to use his slightness against them. he's quick, agile, precise, and again --- not afraid to take a hit or two if it means tiring out his opponent or lulling them into a false sense of victory. ( problematic because he does not have a healing factor here. ) because this style developed at such a young age, it sticks with him today, when though he's definitely grown into his body. he doesn't have the serum to boost his metabolism and help him maintain muscle more easily. he trains a lot but he will not always have that textbook superhero six pack

Hi!!

Saw your kink bingo and I wanted to participate! Your writing is top tier as always my friend and I'm happy to hear you're well.

My request: O!Ciel x female reader for bondage on reader.

Question: I'm not familiar with the differences between afab and female reader. Is there a difference or is this just preference?

Hello again my friend!

hey echo! your request has been drafted — just responding now for your question haha.

“afab” is just an anatomy descriptor and can be used for any gender of reader insert. for example, someone could request for a trans male or nonbinary reader that has afab anatomy.

“female” is a gender descriptor but unless specified otherwise it will be paired with afab anatomy by default.

hope that answers your question! ^^

17 for Morred

17. What instrument would be used in their leitmotif?

Oh, god, that’s HARD. You asked the HARD one!

On the one hand, I tend to associate Morred with ragtime and swing (it’s that Underworld Blues that did it to me). Perhaps that’d be a trumpet with mute, played with syncopation and tremendous disrespect.

At the same time, I sometimes think of that cover of Smooth Criminal done on a barrel organ.

I feel myself settling on the piano - I know it’s basic, but it seems correct? Not a nice piano, though. This is an out-of-tune old upright instrument with broken strings and sticky keys, and the player is doing their damnedest to make it sound good regardless - and almost succeeding, if not for the sticky ink monster that’s crawling out from under the lid...
