tod waggner & kinsey oliver: tod b like 🧍 prrrety grill. dating christa or not this man is still blushing and stuttering and fumbling over himself in front of pretty girls im sorry theres nothing that can be done to change him. idk truly theyre both survivors of a tragedy??? both were/are incredibly fucked up for a Long Time after said tragedy..... emotional support friends when tod is just like a golden retriever he can be ur esa dog kins.

kirby reed & kinsey oliver: i had this in the tags originally and then was like?? idiot what are u doing sO : kirby is in the fbi now....... and probably would have been (or would have been in training but we can fudge the details ok) just starting out when everything happens with kins and mal the second time,,,, so What If she were to have helped mike (and his team) find them???? i simply think that these girls as her first case is sexy and would be exactly what she needs to throw herself into her job to rly stop ppl like charlie<3 and the man that took kins and mal.

bethany bixler & kinsey oliver: ok so it was a no on the hell priest with a love for pain and pleasure but.... what about deadites. totally different from creatures from hell........... but also we can go Not That and beth could meet kins while shes on tour w a band or something like that. kins if ur nice to her for one (1) second beth can get u backstage to meet the band for free ok just one (1) kind gesture.

jules louden & kinsey oliver: mal is related to the loudens,,, there is not a doubt in my mind that they attended parties at mals house for holidays/special occasions and to think that kinsey would not also be there is absolute insanity. jules/mal/kins (and stef too if she would like to join ofc<3) were probably an unstoppable trio when they were rly young,,, just annoying the absolute hell out of their relatives and gossiping. complete menaces if u see them walking towards u RUN. u know those holidays at ur aunt n uncles where u beg ur parents to sleep over for the night.... yeah thats them. their campouts in mals treehouse<3 but immediate Not Sweet jules comin Back From The Dead.. the first holiday that she attends and maybe mal brings kins with her.... how different their interactions would be.. but also so the same bc they all went through this horrible trauma and still came out on the other sside blah blah u kno. i think they could be neat.

michael roth & kinsey oliver: YEAH BOI. theres so mcuh that we can do with that but what can i write here that we havent already talked about???? what i cAN do is tell u some of my favorite ideas ok. im a sucker for letter threads so ,,,, if kins wants to keep writin mike letters he will answer them. or like.

OLD MAN YAOI BRACKET ROUND 1

Propaganda:

Bob Zanotto/Helmut Fullbear:

THEY LITERALLY MADE MR CRY THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED THE GAME. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH AND THEY FINALLY GET TO BE HAPPY TOGETHER. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME.

they are married in canon and are epic and amazing. they had sad canon events where bob thought helmut was dead for like 30 years or something but helmut WASN'T dead his brain was still alive and they are reunited in the game first by way of stealing an evil dictator's body and then later on they put helmut's brain in a ball as a temporary fix while they go out to find his body which has been frozen in ice. the game forces you to walk through bob's memory of saying his vows at their wedding ceremony and it's seriously some of the most romantic and heartwarming shit i've ever heard, especially "just when i thought i was turning to seed, you made me bloom again" like my god. i love them

they're gay and old as hell!!!! there's a level dedicated to their wedding!!!

Helmut is voiced by Jack Black and is currently a brain in a ball, and Bob knows him so well that the mental image of him in his drunken mind says things Bob KNOWS the real Helmut would never say. Also Helmut is temporarily in the body of a guy voiced by Elijah Wood-

Craig Cuttlefish/DJ Octavio:

well you see they used to be friends but were on opposite sides of the great turf war. cuttlefish gets a 14 year old to go stop octavios army. also they argue in splatoon 3 which is just part of the 100+ year divorce arc BUT AT THE FINAL BOSS IN THE JAPANESE VERSION THEY SHARE THE ICONIC LINE THAT CUES THE CALAMARI INKANTATION AND IN THE ENGLISH CUTTLEFISH TELLS OCTAVIO TO "HIT IT" AND START THE MUSIC AND MUSIC IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE SPLATOON UNIVERSE YAAAAA ik its grasping but its lovers to enemies

Literally I have seen so many people call this old man yaoi.

Old men divorce!!!

They're old men who made their divorce the problem of every young person in their lives <3. 100 years ago during the Great Turf War between inklings and octarians, Craig and Octavio were the chosen ambassadors of their respective species. They got along well, but unfortunately found themselves on opposite sides of the war. During one of the battles Craig shot Octavio in the heart. The inlkings won the war and the octarians were forced underground. For years afterward both men grew bitter towards each other, and eventually Octavio attacked the new Squidbeak Splatoon (a group of secret agents recruited by Craig). Octavio lost both times and got imprisoned in a giant snow globe (and Craig calls him cute). In the latest game Octavio got over his hatred for Inklings (Craig's species) and used his flying mech to help defeat the BBEG of the game. After the final fight, Craig said something to the effect of 'that old rascal turned out to be not so bad!'.

Alright ok hear me out! These two old men have fought in wars for their races against each other and have the craziest pathetic old man homoerotic tension ever. They like, went from at least respecting each other before the war and then they were forced to fight each other and then when Cuttlefish's side won, Octavio went underground like a pathetic lil wet cat and later on he kidnapped Cuttlefish because of game related reasons and both of them still have way too much homoerotic tension!!! And then Octavio gets owned and then in the second game Octavio decides that "Hey actually, lets kidnap Cuttlefish's granddaughter" and the old man isnt even there cause hes busy being a pathetic old man in the under-underground!!! And in the third game they go fron rival/enemies to reluctantly working together to save the world from actual extinction bc some durry bitch wants to cover it in fuzzy ooze and like, both of them have so much old man ship potential and just- theyre still pining for each other even after over a 100 years man,,,,

I personally headcanon Cap'n Cuttlefish as homophobic, but I see the ship a lot and think it's funny.

They’re both at least like 125 probably a bit older, they are so divorced, like peak lovers to enemies back to lovers, Cap’n Cuttlefish calls Octavio cute in Splatoon one immediately after you rescue him from Octavio kidnapping him? So dysfunctional, so gay, so old

They fought in the Great Turf War which was said to be over 100 years ago, Capn Cuttlefish was, well, a captain I believe (he had some sort of rank even if he wasn't a captain, like he led a battle that's singled out in the sunken scrolls of the first game). they act so divorced in the singleplayer mode like they cannot stop insulting each other specifically but octavio always comes back and like kidnaps or insults captain cuttlefish it's so. and when the great zapfish gets stolen in splatoon 3 captain cuttlefish is like "it's the octarians again i know it" like divorced behavior. also it wasn't this time and octavio gets super weird about it. maybe you should stop using children as props in your drama though.

my favorite war crime divorcees <3

They basically are friends to enemies to lovers. Both of them fought in a war that hurt DJ Octavio so bad he can’t become an inkling.

friends -> enemies -> lovers. what more is there to say

they are soooo divorced

they were so gay their breakup ended a war

Craig Cuttlefish got sucked dry by a bear

they got divorced but then they got remarried . they fuckinf hate eachother but they also make out sloppy style and i do not know how that works because neither of them have mouths in their swim form which they are both permanently stuck in. love wins but also loses at the same time with these fucking losers

they are sooo divorced omg. istg they were dating when they were younger and then war n shit happened and now theyre bitter exes who probably still make out sometimes. Makes it so much funnier that theyre old ass men (both over 100!) and Cuttlefish has grandkids

They were on opposite sides of a war and still fell in love

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

HELLO!!! i have a request for a platonic Crowley and Aziraphale x fem!reader with she/they pronouns 😄 if you know Nimona, then thats what i want the reader to be like. theyre a spunky, immortal, young teenager anarchist who can shapeshift and has unnaturally coloured eyes and hair. one day they find the two (husbands), and kinda just stays, so Crowley and Aziraphale accept their fate!! i dont mind if you decide to include a smudge of angst (or a shit ton whatever you prefer, but im impartial to both, so do with that what you will,) because after the newest season, i cant get enough of it.

many thanks!!

Oh! I haven't seen the movie but I know about Nimona!

......

You met Aziraphale and Crowley in 537 AD, encountering them by pure chance.

At first you intimidate them as a dragon, thinking they were two hapless knights who lost their way back to their kingdom..

Until you saw Crowley's snake eyes, and you realize he's not human at all.

"You there...I like your eyes.....are you another shapeshifter?"

"...um..nope." The demon in black armor looks incredibly confused, especially at this dragon talking to him. "Don't know what gave you that idea.."

"Well technically he is." The white knight adds on, smiling nervously. "You see, my erm..."rival" here is something of a serpent who was sent to-"

"Shut it, Angel. This beast doesn't need our lifestory! Now if you could kindly excuse us, o' great dragon, we have to discuss-"

"Hate to break it to you, but....I'm not actually a dragon."

"Then what are you exactly? You...said something about "shapeshifting" before, didn't you?"

To answer Crowley's question, you transform into a young human clad in knight armor, taking off your helmet to reveal your unnaturally-colored eyes and hair, smiling. "Bingo."

The pair are quite impressed, so they have no reason to hide the fact they were an angel and demon.

You explained how you've had these shapeshifting powers for a long time, being on the run since everyone thinks you're a "cursed child" or some monster that was once banished, wanting nothing more than to drive a sword through your heart.

When it's clear that neither Aziraphale nor Crowley have any intentions of hurting you....that's when you decided to stick with them.

It took them 20 years to realize you never aged, learning you're an immortal being in a teenager's body.

Your powers allow you to keep up with the times, disguising yourself as animals, people...or even angels and demons if your heart so desired.

Sometimes you'll turn into a snake much like Crowley's own snake form (although your scales have the color of your hair, ofc, so you're not 100% identical).

You haven't mastered turning just your head into a snake, however.

In the modern era, you enjoy being a nightingale after learning they were both fond of those birds, often singing in the bookshop out of boredom.

Although Crowley's fully aware you're not a demon, you got a spunky and rebellious personality and love getting up to mischief.

And he 100% encourages this (while poor Aziraphale's practically begging you to stay out of trouble).

But you're definitely on the angel's side anytime he compliments Crowley, who just snarls and denies ever doing something "nice" or "good".

You don't believe he's all that evil for even a moment.

While you're aware that they have to act like they despise each other bc they're on opposite sides...in your eyes, they behave so much like an old married human couple.

Aziraphale emphasizing "our car" when talking about the Bentley made you roll your eyes and joke about when the wedding's gonna start.

When Aziraphale returns to Heaven without Crowley, you realize that maybe your "marriage jokes" went a bit too far...even though neither of them blame you for their falling out.

Still, you feel bad bc you can tell Crowley was genuinely in love with him.

You overheard everything, and after his "no nightingales" remark, you're reluctant to shapeshift into one again out of fear of upsetting him.

Yet he asks you, too, as he couldn't bear the silence in the bookshop anymore...and listening to any of Aziraphale's music records would've been too painful for him.

You obliged, staying perched on his shoulder as he stared out the window for hours...hoping that his angel would come back to him.

You hoped so, too, waiting everyday by his side...until the end of time if you had to.

i see we're talking about canes! local cane user here, a couple things to keep in mind:

- phil would likely use a 3 or 4 ended foot as theyre best for mobility in rough terrain and are best for balance and mobility

- i think phil would also possibly benefit from a walker at times, and also its okay for one person to use multiple disability aids interchangeably depending on the circumstances!

- phil having a collapsible cane would be cool (note i have one and theyre funky)

- usually with canes you use them on the opposite side of the body needed to be assisted, as you use them like if you walked with both sides at once thus helping balance/relieve pain on that side (ex if your left leg hurts when you went to take a step, youd use your cane on the right side at the same time). so if phil were to use the cane its likely hed be an ambulatory cane user (someone who uses canes on both sides)

- using a cane alone requires a lot of arm and shoulder strength, so thats important to keep in mind he'll have to build that strength

generally id say find cane users/wheelchair users/amputees etc to check with because a lot of the time these things can get! deeply offensive in aspects people might not even realise (ableism is within us all, even the disabled)

Funky funky I am taking down notes

It's kinda funny cause I'm not even planning to draw dsmp Phil that much LMAO I draw hc!Phil fanart more, but also this is really interesting to learn about and I love character details

About the collapsible cane, that is funky yeah! I'll have to look into that, but I'm also thinking of hiding a weapon within the cane? Like a little reference to urahara's cane in the anime haha, so that might make the collapsible part. Uh. Difficult

I have two close friends who are cane users so I'm definitely gonna slide into their dms at some point lmao, but I'll also look into wheelchair and walker stuff if I decide to go further into drawing anything for this (I haven't drawn dsmp in weeks I just realized that wowie)

But also if you have some trivia/info about disability aids feel free to just drop them in my inbox too! I don't answer all of them cause I don't want to clog up my blog but I do read them all :D also gonna be asking questions here if I try doing research and get confusing answers haha

Also I found a pic of this cane with like an ice pick at the end and I don't know how functional it would be but it looks neat if you guys want to see lol

[antifa-rainbowdash]

i've done more than enough fuh naff redesigns it's time for charles entertainment cheese and his gang to receive a makeover

what i had in mind while doing this was a (personal dream job) HYPOTHETICAL!!! scenario where somehow i've gone back in time and convinced the execs of showbiz pizza time inc to not only keep both cec and showbiz open, but begin a gimmick wherein we lean into the whole "pizza wars" thing and actively pit the characters against each other in a friendly rivalry sort of deal.

firstly youll probably notice that i replaced munch and pasqually with two ptt characters i like much better- pleasemunchandpasquallylikersdonthurtme- that being crusty and harmony. due to my own personal tastes but also because i think adding a second female member of the animatronic lineup evens things out pretty well.

second, is that they all are brand new incarnations of each character, and have their own blurbs i've decided to write down below under the readmore to explain. because this caption is insanely long already. happy reading!!! the rockafire counterpart to this post is coming shortly. so keep an eye out ;)

FIRST AND FOREMOST is the big man himself!!!! chuck e cheese!!! this chuck is an archetypal rebellious teen and cool kid whose primary hobbies include skateboarding and video games. he's got a sort of arrogant i'm-the-shit attitude about him and he definitely can come off as cocky. but he's not necessarily mean spirited either, he really does care for his friends, he's just full of himself.

now, for his rockafire rival (which you will find all the bots have their direct counterpart on the showbiz side of things) you may expect billy bob because mascots of the restaurant and all. but billy bob actually acts more as a mediator in all this, being the only one who has no rival, instead chuck's is beach bear. which will explain why beach has such an aversion to skateboarding - he associates it with the rat boi! chuck doesnt necessarily have anything personal against beach (because this is all in good fun and not anything malicious at all) but beach does feel like chuck's a bit too stuck up for his liking. and also, he can't stand sore losers, or folks who brag about their accomplishments. chuck in turn thinks beach is a bit of a stick in the mud and goody two shoes who doesnt know how to have REAL fun. again these are all FRIENDLY rivalries so nobody's truly mad at anyone just some reasoning.

secondly my gal helen henny. is the direct opposite of mitzi mozzarella of course, who is the popular girl in their high school and head of the cheerleading squad. helen meanwhile is the nerdy type who gets straight a's and sucks up to the teachers a lot. she doesnt get out much besides doing gigs singing in the pizzeria and otherwise is a bit of a shut in. mitzi thinks helen should loosen up, but helen thinks mitzi should be more focused on her future and realize that after high school "popularity" means nothing. theyll still eventually end up being gay married, but thats not until way after they both have graduated from college in which they will reconnect after a chance meeting in the local in universe starbucks, sparking a slow burn romance that eventually leads to the two being wed. but for now, they simply pass each other in the hallway with a friendly nod and perhaps a light chat about the weather.

crusty is in a sports college on a scholarship playing baseball and is one of the strongest team members on campus. he's more reserved and shy most of the time, but really comes out of his shell and shines on stage singing with the others. his dilemma mirrors high school musical in that he's embarrassed to admit that he loves to perform on stage to his fellow baseball players, who are currently unaware of crusty's thespian side. for his rival, fatz geronimo is actually a professor at crusty's college and crusty thinks it's a bit weird how theyre both performers in rival pizzerias. fatz wishes crusty would own up to his love of both baseball and theatre, sometimes giving him dad lectures about being yourself and you only got one life to live so you better make the most of it, while crusty just wishes the old man would mind his own business and butt out of his personal matters. deep down though he appreciates that at least someone cares about what HE wants though.

jasper t jowls in this era is a he/him lesbian because i say so and i make the rules here. he and harmony are open about them being a pair and are often uber affectionate with each other, in front of guests and their friends and all. they really dont care who sees lol. jasper is a farm dog that puts off his chores to go hang with his girlfriend and their friend group. he'd rather spend his hours practicing the banjo and wooing his lady than doing any sort of work, he's real lazy like that. his family thinks his dreams of being a rockstar are ridiculous and so jasper internalizes this way of thinking when it comes to dook larue, who dreams of being an astro physicist and has the support of all his folks. in reality jasper is jealous of dook not having to deal with criticism from his family and being able to freely follow his passions without outside pressure. dook sees jasper as weak willed and thinks he should grow a backbone, but the space doggo most of all just feels bad for the farm doggo and resents his family for not being supportive of his dreams. still, dook's idea of a pep talk is telling jasper to let his folks know what he REALLY thinks and jasper isnt too fond of the idea.

and finally harmony howlette is the resident ranch coyote!!!! shes an expert at wrangling wild mustangs and taming them and preparing them to be farm horses. shes sassy and blunt and takes no shit. sometimes having a hard time keeping her comments to herself. but shes also sweet and genuine, real down to earth type of gal. its what jasper likes best about her. shes rolfe dewolfe's rival, she thinks hes almost as stuck up as chuck can be but to her at least chuck has redeeming qualities about him. in her mind rolfe is just some washed up comedian that lets his assistant earle pick on him to get a cheap laugh out of the audience. which, rolfe doesnt necessarily deny the part about letting earle pick on him, but he thinks harmony needs to learn to take a joke and worry about herself a little more. he says that having a southern accent and country charm isnt a personality trait and wonders what jasper sees in her.

[actualbird]

Before the actual ask, i have a suggestion: maybe add some general non-tot asks/req rules? bc i'm writing this rn like "this may be uncomfortable but i don't want to make you uncomfortable but i don't know if it will make you uncomfortable but-" 😭😭😭

now um, my ask:

i'm currently getting struck by gender dysphoria at very random moments and i don't like it. thing is, i don't know what my gender might be since it goes both ways and I was wondering, if you wouldn't mind sharing: how did you figure out you're trans?

hi anon!!! lemme go thru this one by one but first, i wanna preface everything with: dont worry, none of this makes me uncomfortable and you said nothing wrong. theres nothing here that cause for panic on ur end, it's alright, ur alright :D

okay so

on general non-tot asks/req rules:

i do have these rules!! theyre just not as Many as my tot-specific ones, but on my rules page u'll find these in the 2nd section :D

theyre like, reaaaaally general but the overall rule for all other asks is basically "be nice, i cant read tone well, and dont spam" so no worries, ur all good. i dont wanna make these rules any more specific because everything else seems like a case to case basis yknow

and now to the bulk of my answer

on trans stuff:

short answer on how i found out i was trans: it made me happy. god, it made me so happy and it makes me happy to this day.

long answer: come with me, anon, through my gender journey through the years....JKSDHVFKJSDHVKFSD

ok so for the longest time i knew i wasnt completely woman aligned in the gender department. like, from ages 14-20 i had identified as a bunch of different genders. first i identified as bigender, then i backpedaled and went back to just having "she/her" in my bio because i had a Moment Of Panic wondering "no no the Genders are for people who Really Truly Identify (whatever that means) and i shouldnt co-opt these terms because im not even sure what i am!! im not allowed to identify as bigender until i really figure it out!!*", and then for a while i identified as nonbinary, and then the pandemic happened which i think hilariously due to the lockdowns had the cool side effect of many people figuring out Personal Things and at some point in 2021 i was like ".....hey im a guy, actually. it makes me happy to be a guy"

*sidenote 1: this "but am i allowed to?" worry is a common thing i see a lot from other people also going through their journey of questioning their gender, and i wanna talk about it specifically later on in this response, but bACK ON TOPIC FIRST---

sidenote 2: yes, like a pokemon trainer, i have collected the three starter pronouns. she, they, and he. KJHAVFLASVFALSJK

backtracking through the other genders i had identified as, i'd chosen them all at the time for similar reasons: joy. i identified as bigender because i felt recognized for the first time, an identity where i could be both feminine and masculine. i identified as nonbinary because i adored the comfort of that freedom and that fluidity. i identify as a trans guy now because i realized that i can find joy in being a guy and still enjoy expression of "non-guy" things because guys who like pink and frilly fashion and plushies is still a valid and real type of guy, it's the type of guy i am. and these are more on the positive markers of gender expression, the opposite of gender dysphoria: gender euphoria, the happiness when gender stuff feels just right

btw, you are indeed using the term gender dysphoria correctly. that simply pertains to any kind of distress or upsetness due to gender things Not feeling right. within that definition, theres no requirement for you Already Having To Identify to use it, because otherwise thatd mean anybody who found out they were trans only after experiencing gender dysphoria was using it incorrectly, which seems rather silly. and even if the definition Did have that requirement.......who cares? JKHDFVSKDJHFVKSD i mean that in the most genuine and sincere way ever, because so long as it is harming nobody, who cares what word you use? sure, a Bunch of people care actually, and a bunch of people will pitch a fit policing on being allowed to use certain gender words and whatnot. but in general ive taken to trying to remember that like.....gender stuff is a Personal thing. it is the business of the Person Themselves, as it is our identity. it is up to us to define it, to explore it, to make our own choices on it. and well....generally, people who think your expression is any of their business is, at best, nosy, or at worse, a bigot.

i went on a tangent there sorry VSDFLJBFL, but my point is dont worry, youre using the term right. if youre feeling Not Good because something about The Genders doesnt fit, yeah thats dysphoria. and im so so sorry youre experiencing this, because it sucks

i said before that my main marker for realizing gender stuffs was the presence of a positive emotion, instead of the presence of a negative one. but i also experienced gender dysphoria, it just wasnt as big of a thing in my own journey. for me, it was less of a wrongness and more of a vague...discomfort. like wearing shoes that dont fit. it's fine some days but other days i couldnt stand it but my legs still work and i was much more focused on the times i Did find figurative shoes that fit immensely well.

.....oh something i think that wld be important for me to mention is that i kinda....somehow always knew i was of Another Gender. but i kept hesitating and kept backtracking because, kinda like what you say, it went both ways for me

im a guy. but i also really liked things that are traditionally seen as feminine, i still do. ive got a closet full of lolita fashion dresses, mixed in with the ridiculous amounts of plaid shirts ive got. throughout my life, i was never really regarded as masculine by other people, more often i was seen by others as some kind of manic pixie androgynous being. and these things, they made me hesitate. how can i be a guy if so much of who i am is seen by others as Not-Guy stuff?

well, eventually it's cuz i figured that what others think should have nothing to do with who i am and who i choose to be. relating back to what i said about Genders being a personal thing yknow. why was i so worried about what other people thought of a thing that only concerned me?

yknow one of the most gender affirming experiences ive ever had in my life was back was i was in college. i was just going out and about for a group work thing, and the classmates along with me were rowdy manly cisguys and i was feeling low and it showed, i was all meek and sad and shit. and then this lady came up to me, and i didnt get to know if she was a transwoman or a femme presenting gay man, but she sat with me and chatted with me and eventually she asked

(this convo happened in filipino but roughly translated it went)

her: do you want to be a boy?

me: yes (i answered so instinctively. at the time, i was identifying as nonbinary, but she asked a question and i gave my honest answer. yes. yes i did.)

her: well, youre very handsome! youre more handsome than any of them //gestures at the cisguy classmates

and that stucks with me to this day. another queer person asking Me what I Wanted, and affirming that. didnt matter that i looked like how i looked, that i obviously wasnt as objectively or normatively masculine as the cismen around us. what mattered was what i wanted, and i was handsome for it, and that was that.

after that we just talked about pop music, but i felt so good the rest of the day

now...on the unwritten question here of "how do you (as in, anon, or any other reader out there) know you're trans (or any kind of other gender designation)?" or if you already know you are some other gender, how do you figure it out? who do you ask?:

im sorry for how cheesy or seemingly unhelpful what im going to say next is, but i cannot stress how crucial it is: the only person who can ever answer these is You. ask yourself what makes you happy, what would alleviate your discomfort, what would cause comfort, what youre drawn to, etc.

but if i can give any unsolicited advice on that....itd be to make sure that the person youre asking, the person who is giving the answer, is really You. not the thoughts or opinions of other people, not the rules of what is considered 'norm', not the fears or the worries circling around the question, dont ask those things dont find the answer in those things. the person to give the answers is You.

and btw!! You can change sometimes. and sometimes your answer can change too, and thats okay if ever that happens. all my prior answers to this question changed in through life, and it doesnt mean any of my prior answers were wrong (sans the time i backpedaled, because then i wasnt getting the answer from Me, i was getting the answer from Worries). it just meant that those were the answers for Me when i was at that stage of my life.

tldr: i figured out i was trans because it made me so damn happy to be and also because i stopped giving a shit about what other people thought

i hope this response makes sense and that theres something in here that can help you out. im wishing you the best, anon <3

#asks #anon #sorry this response is messy and all over the place my brain aint at its best lately skdf but still i hope something in here can help

[rawmeknockout]

Hey, hey! I hope you're doing great. This isn't a request but more of my curious mind trying to make sense of things. That being said; what are your favorite shipping or story trope/twists that you are an absolute sucker for & who of your favorite bots &/or cons match this trops/twists best in your opinion? This can be any iteration of your choosing (pls include where the selected are from, I get a little lost on who's from where sometimes).

Have a nice day/night! 🤗

oh i LOOOOOVE talking about this

for idw

rivals-to-lovers with rodimus and characters like rodimus (but mostly just rodimus); being his rival and someone who antagonizes him but at the end of the day you begrudgingly respect him and know he has potential (which is painful bc hes so stupid) and as you fight side by side and save each other and help each other with your internal struggles, the passion between you blossoms into love

old-flames-who-were-evil-together-but-eventually-things-went-sour-but-then-...-you-reconnect with megatron specifically; someone who was an advisor and by his side before the war, a strategist and a major brain behind the formation of the decepticons iconic evil plots, but eventually you start to despise him for turning this thing you cared so much for into something that you neither of you wanted to begin with but both of you are so sullied by your horrible actions theres no repentance for either of you, you fuck off to some planet to escape punishment bc youre not going down like this, idk you reconnect and although you have a lot of bad blood between you theres still relief that megatron is alive and didnt get executed. in the beginning all you wanted was the best for megatron and your planet now you two are unrecognizable compated to the mechs you were before so you take comfort in each other bc who better to console him and stand by his side than someone just as horrible and tainted.

haughty-diva-and-the-person-they-'settled'-for is also a dynamic i love esp for mechs like whirl and swerve and trailcutter who see themselves as undesirable and perhaps even unattractive to others, but anyone could see they have insane chemistry with this hottie. someone who is also probably pretty bad at expressing their feelings and doesnt know how to say they like someone bc theyre used to being hit on not hitting on others.

old mechs paired with a bouncy youthful personality, opposites attract sort of thing. ratchet and magnus (sometimes megs) are my usual go-tos for this dynamic but it could work for others like tarn or kaon. theres a lot of world weary mechs to go around so i like the idea of someone who isnt so jaded paired with this type of personality, i think it can be very cute.

im partial to maternal nurturing type reader inserts, but im not sure which mech is best paired with a personality like that. a soft mommy dom if you will. not submissive but breedable. along with this, a reserved quiet but thoughtful character who is secretly sort of dumb is cute. again not sure who they would bounce off of, but i like to imagine this reader insert takes care of alien plants and doesnt have an easy time interacting with others. a blunt dry humor. more of a comic relief type.

for g1

ratbat with someone who is very much a bystander on the nemesis, perhaps a no-name maintenance bot, but one thing leads to another and he relies on this mech to be his henchman and obvs theyre gonna listen to him he's their superior but also they arent Built Different they are very much built to standard code theyre not gonna pick a fight bc even ratbat could wipe the docking bay with them 😔 cannon fodder,,,, ratbat is happy just to have someone who wont fight him on this, so he starts to see them as less of a disposable and more of a nuisance (which IS a step up) i think this sort of dynamic is also cute for starscream with a newbie seeker. someone who will listen to him and polish his heel thrusters if he demands it without grumbling and thats rare to find so he treats them to,,, less shrieking than is usual for him. will not let you die on the battlefield even if he complains that saving you is a waste of his time.

sunstreaker and sideswipe in another rivals to lovers scenario, but i see this less as rivals and more as "hardnosed mech who is unrelenting in their principles really hates these two bullies"; starting out from them being absolute menaces and just awful (as per ush) to developing a soft spot for a mech who is just as stubborn and blunt as they are in their approach and who wont leave either twin to waste away on the battlefield from an injury even if theyre like,,, reeeeally awful to them. what can i say i think the twins would appreciate a show of loyalty and camaraderie even if they pretend they dont need that sort of thing.

optimus and a creepy little con. ive done a fill for a request like this. just optimus having a soft spot for this little weirdo who has too much interest in him.

in the same vein, bumblebee with a cutesy creepy little con. someone who is sort of his opposite? the bumblebee of the decepticons, if bumblebee terrified all his fellow autobots. falls in love with him for saving them or something and now they wont leave him alone. he is reluctant to admit theyre cute bc hes a loyal autobot and they also scare him.

megatron and anyone he can hold like this

im always open to more dynamics and tropes bc its pretty clear how i write, i need a base personality to write the reader insert off of and i dont like to leave it as "they love you and thats the most important aspect of your character" i just dont think being loved is an important trait for a character to have, its an important action for them to perform and for others to perform towards them but its not a good basis for a personality

i also love dynamics that can have a lot of depth and backstory added to them so i get a feel for where the reader has been and why they are the way they are (im not partial to shy types personalities tho bc i like more assertive characters that can move the plot more with their actions/words)

hai again momo :333 or chamo. or CHAMOMILE <3333 any nickname for u works so u pick!!! also assign me a flower name too so i can pen a name at the end of my brain rots!!

OK SO UR ENEMY YAN. academic enemy yan. what would happen if one day, they finally DO surpass you? maybe it was a test you didnt study too hard for (you were too busy hanging out with a friend and lets face it; your grades are solid and can easily take a hit or two! you still do decently on the test, ofc! star student :D) and enemy yan beats you by a couple points… huh?

‘that doesnt seem right…there’s no way i finally beat them… did i?’ yan thinks. you come up to them after the scores are out and pat them on the back, looks like they can finally stop obsessing over you, now that they’ve finally beaten you! you accept your “loss” in good humor; to be honest, you were kind of getting fed up being on the receiving end of this one sided rivalry you wanted nothing to do with in the first place. youre just glad they finally beat you before things escalated, which recently, it seems to have been. getting accidental likes from them on social media posts you shared months ago, seeing them out of the corner of your eye while you were eating lunch with your friends, being approached and confronted more frequently by enemy yan. you just wanted it to stop, and them scoring higher than you meant that their obsessive behavior would stop. or so you thought.

but no. enemy yan is devastated. what excuse can they use now? to justify their constant talk of you, their constant thoughts of you, the EVERYTHING of you. they already lost all their friends, their free time devoted to studying and hating on you in the shadows. whats their purpose now? its their fault, really. they should have caught themselves before their whole life became triumphing over you. now that its actually happened, they have nothing left. they have no other choice but to keep clinging onto you, much to your dismay.

awwww. how delusional!

hi hi hi!!!!!! honestly, i love the nickname chami, its so cute!

i bet they dont even consider the fact that they shouldve had a backup plan for beating you. for someone who thinks of beating you all the time, they didnt actually plan what to do when it happened so instead of devastation, they feel rage, betrayal and humiliation. clearly this is just some sort of trick! a psychological mind game! this only fans their flames and it finally encourages them to corner you and demand you tell them their secrets. the terror that comes with being cornered by an obviously obsessive and mentally disturbed person wears off around the third time so youre used to this. honestly, their antics dont really disturb you anymore, youre kind of just.. indifferent, which is the perfect type of yandere for them.

i mean, when you have to reassure people with "oh yeah, that's just yandere" then you kinda just get used to being stalked, watched, glared at for hours on end, cornered, yelled at, etc. but they seem really mad this time and extra insane. their life is crumbling before them, how could they?! they just won but it was one measly test! was this some sort of plan? were you trying to pull the carpet out from under them? pull the wool over their eyes? who do you think you are?!

you manage to escape with a well timed punch to their kidney and stomp off, kind of annoyed. what was wrong with them? maybe they wouldve 'beaten you' or whatever a long time ago if they stopped focusing on you so much.

the next day? they're following you. not unusual. but this time, theyre right by your side, glaring at you the entire time. you wanna eat lunch by the smelly trashcans? theyre right there. you need to use the bathroom? so do they! changing during PE? theyre face is bright red the entire time but theyre. right. there. if theyre the opposite gender, they wait right outside the locker room. outside of school, they even try to barge right into your house! its just so cute how delusional they are! they dont even notice how much they enjoy spending time with you <3

Look man- just wanna say your art is literally gorgeous bro- It's very catchy and cool- but uh- that aside- I hope ya don't mind the question- but would ya mind giving some few tips on how to draw anatomy and how you color? because your art is so pleasing to look at- like bruh it's so pretty-

first of all THANK UUUUU!!!! im sososos happy u like my art!!!!!!!!!💕🌺🌷💕🌺🌷💕🌺🌷❤️♥️💕🌺🌷💕♥️❤️🌹🌹❤️♥️🌺💕!!!!!

i dont mind the question at all!! ill give u some tips on how i draw!!

BTW! these are just some tips ab what i do to draw the way i do, this is not an universal rule let alone mandatory!!

NOW ONTO THE STUFF U CAME FOR! under a read more so i dont clog ur dash bc i got kinda tecnical w some of it..! IT GOT WAY TOO LONG IM SORRY!!!

lets start with color then!! 🎨

i always see ppl saying that color theory is rlly hard and they never understand it, and tbh u dont need to learn it in depth at all!!

to make colors look good you need to think them as a group instead of choosing them individually...

though what i do is different, theres a post going around that says tinting all the colors w one brings the drawing together, and it does!! its a p good tip if u dont want to eyeball it like i do!!

but heres my process; lets say u have a sketch and an idea of what colors you want; your character is in a forest walking through the trees! what i do is choose background color and start from there

if you chose a cool color, when you start painting the rest of the picture drag the hue a little closer to blue or purple! if you chose a warm one, closer to yellow or red! if you want your drawing to have a greenish tint drag it closer to green or yellow! you get the gist of it, bring the colors closer! if theyre on opposite sides of the wheel it might be difficult, but usually bringing them closer to gray does a good job!!

also unless youre trying to get contrast on purpose, choosing colors w similar saturation(intensity!) helps unify the drawing!

say you want a drawing that is mostly grayish tones, make sure all your colors are desaturated (less intense, pigmented)

-

now say you have an existing character w a set color palette (we'll take my character elias as an example) and want to draw him in green and yellow or bright magenta and blue

i saw this explanation on a tiktok long ago but i literally cannot word it better and found it real useful

to translate the colors properly u need to think them on a scale, which ones are the darkest, lightest, and where does the rest sit?? Once you have that you can make ur own scale w the colors you want to use, and as long as the difference between the colors stay mostly the same u will be able to translate them p much to whatever!!

my drawing was done quickly so its not the best example but u get me

i think thats it for color now, but if i think of something else ill add it and tell u!!

now onto anatomy 🧍🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️

and ill be honest w u here, i have no clue how i learned anatomy, let alone how to teach u but ill try my best here!!

and tbh, learning every bone, muscle, etc is smth rlly tedious to me so i cannot assist u there bc i dont know

ALSOO references are ur best buddy, use them!! even if its not the exact pose or angle ur wanting to draw it can help u visualize what u want and tell u what goes where!!

even if its not for the pose or angle, a skeleton can help u see how the body part works!! i look at animal skeleton legs all the time to help me draw my ocs!!!

but yeah!! i think anatomy is smth that u shouldnt take very seriously bc most of what gives personality to characters is exageration!! or made up parts!!

but like, if u want to know my way of drawing smth specific u can tell me!! i have no problem showing u how i do things!!

but since i wasnt very helpful when it comes to anatomy, im taking the liberty of adding an extra bullet point to the post

composition!! 🌇🌃🌆🏙️

composition is the way you show the image, how you place things in your drawing!!

in school they make us take audio-visual production classes, which truly isnt as interesting as it sounds but they taught us some p cool photography tips that also apply to drawings!!

one of them is the rule of thirds! basically, you divide the canvas in 9 equal parts, and the places where the lines join are the places where the eyes are most drawn to!! heres an example i found on the internet

so if you place something on those spots it will get the attention, bc the brain is used to the focus being on the center so taking it out of there makes u want to look why (or at least thats the explanation they gave me!)

also, to draw even more attention to those spots u can make a visual path that leads there!! here some crude examples by yours truly

the first one traces a path up to his head, the second one all start from there outwards

they also gave us tips for cropping images though these dont rlly matter that much, but like for example it looks better if u dont crop it at the joints, and if a character is looking somewhere you should leave some space in the direction they are looking to! heres some doodles to show u what i mean

i used to have a document full of things like that for photography but i cant find it rn, if i do ill tell u!!

moving onto the final thing, this is not quite a composition thing but rather something to give characters more personality: make them interact w their enviroment!

rather than standing looking at the camera make them use, touch, see whats around them, even if u draw them in a blank space the way they take it up shows u a lot ab them

for ex, if theres a wall they can lean on it, if theres a window they can be looking through it(maybe u can see them from the outside! framing inside framing was also smth that they taught us in that class!) if theyre standing they can be fixing their sleeves, holding their hands behind their back, tucking a strand of hair behind their ear, scratching their neck, etc!

AND YEAH!! thats what i keep in thought when i draw!! i hope u find it at least a little useful or interesting ahdhjska ill admit i got a little carried away but i love drawing and these are topics that interest me

ty for the ask!!! 💕 👋

What are your dr ocs relationships with each other! Like are any of them friends? In my mind I'm imagining Keiki and Chami being besties and throwing the best tea party ever

thank you so much for the question!!! and omg im absolutely delighted that people point out Keiki and Chami looking like they could be besties/gfs - because they are! im going to go into details under the cut :D

Keiki and Chami are what i like to call one-sided rivals to best friends- since they share a "similar" ultimate, from the start Chami feels a little bit thrown into a competition. See, the thing with Chami is that she tries REALLY hard to cater to other people and her perfectionism makes her push herself a little too hard to the point its overwhelming to others and in turn makes her insecure. this is the total opposite of Keiki who is an effortless people magnet- even the grumpiest in the group like her. this makes Chami really jealous so in her head Keiki becomes her rival and she avoids her altogether. Keiki doesn't hold any negative feelings for Chami although she can tell Chami dislikes her- so accordingly, she is not a fan either.

this changes after the second trial though- when Keiki successfully protects Chami from unjust accusations. Chami is like "WAIT so you actually don't hate me and don't want to steal all my friends from me???" and Keiki is like "girl NO? where did that come from, i was hoping for us to be friends!" and Chami is like "oh. oh 🥺" and they have a very heart-warming "conflict" resolving moment that is interrupted by Jun going "umm ladies i think we're in the middle of murder investigation?" to which they go "RIGHT. im so sorry"

they become best friends after that! inseparable too. turns out they work amazingly well together and like u guessed, they throw the best tea parties ever!

they're hinted to have feelings for each other too- after Paris (who went to american school before) suggest they organise a prom night, Keiki and Chami work hard for it to be perfect. and when the prom night comes they also realize they were so busy they forgot to get a partner!! which, you know, isnt that tragic because turns out they both planned to ask each other <3

me when i go on 34324 pages essay on Keiki and Chami ANYWAYS. one last fun fact i wanted Keiki's hair to resemble cinnamon rolls and for Chami's hair to resemble croissants with the ribbons being like "chocolate toppings"! not sure if it shows through so i thought ill throw it out there :3

from other's distinctive relationships we have Paris and Yami- theyre complex as they are kind of working against each other all the time, but Paris wants to prove herself innocent to Yami and by proximity pretends to want to befriend her. Yami is very weak for kindness shown her way but shes also very smart so this is very hard for her- she's basically having to battle between rationality and feelings. if the game was from her perspective it would be "danganronpa: yami's struggle between wanting justice and crushing easily". Although Paris quite literally gaslights her all the way, she does eventually put so much work into befriending her that the feelings overtime just become a little bit real

i think im gonna wrap it up so no one falls asleep on my post (although if you're curious about anyone else im super happy to answer! :D) BUT i also wanted to mention Kei here since i noticed a lot of people like him- Kei is bros with Kenichi, friends with Akane and also the only person Yami has to a real friend too, he's super sweet to her! Kei is "autistic - loves to talk" and Yami is "autistic - loves to listen" so theyre very wholesome together :'3

IF ANYONE GOT THIS FAR THANK YOU FOR READING it means a lot to me that people r actually interested in it wah!! <3

welcome bk! <3 what do u think of a taurus sun, taurus moon & leo rising?

Aaah, thank u for welcoming me back! 🪐 Im happy to be here!

About ur Q:

I would have definitely gotten more specifically into it if i knew in which houses ur placements are in, but let me get to work: I somehow think Taurus x Leo is such a special (and pretty rare, atleast for me) combo. Ive always found taurus placements so comfortable to be around with, especially taurus suns. I always say theyre "comfortably chaotic." They know when to show their loud/ bubbly side, but also know when to be serious, its a perfect mix between every trait u could wish for in a person, they radiate duality just as gemini does in my opinion, and i feel almost the same way about taurus moons. Down to earth, VERY nurturing when it comes to people they genuinely care about, similar to cancer moons/venuses. I have nothing bad to say about those, nope, no its the opposite: i fw them 100% -

and now to the real deal: Leo rising

As mentioned, leo x taurus makes up for a.. kinda cool combo, but can definitely be also exhausting at times. Leo risings are the eyecatcher of the zodiac, atleast in my opinion. When they are there, u KNOW they are there, their energy never goes unnoticed. Theyre usually more on the extroverted side, thinking they could be alone with a stranger for 2 minutes and already making them their new bestie (love that for them tho) - But thats exactly where this duality ive spoken abt earlier could have "negative" effects. Maybe u feel like no one really knows you. Or better worded, people may KNOW u, but they dont really know u. If it came down to other people describing u in 5 sentences, most of em would be prolly very vague, even unaccurate, simply because ure a lot (not in a bad way) and could be difficult to figure out. Also it might be that u are prone to confusion. Is what u feel and what u are thinking in alignment with each other? What u want and what u need? U could maybe be one to experience a lot of "my heart says x but my mind says y" situations.

Also: Overthinking. U know them¿ 🙂

Overall u seem lika such an interesting person not gonna lie, and having dominant earth placements is always a good card to get! Would befriend, 9/10 <3

You have more to say about Batman 2? I would love to hear it!!! The whole thing, I'm very interested. I think what you said about batman villains showing why they have become the way they are is a major reason why I love the movie so much. And l, too, think Joker would make Eddie's life and mind soooo much worse, and that Ed deserves so much better. That boy needs a hug! ☹️

EDDIE NEEDS A HUGE HUG, LIKE A 10 HOUR CUDDLE SESSION. or a 10 hour therapy session, idk either one would work

ANYWAY i need them to go more into depth about the contrast between bruce wayne and batman. bruce is awkward, quiet, and he distances himself from the world, but batman is confident, assertive, intimidating, the complete opposite of bruce wayne, even though theyre the same person. i just wanna see them get into bruces discomfort with being himself. his family name is one of the most important, respected and well known in gotham, but he still doesnt seem to care about his social status at all, and instead decides to run away from it. bruce wayne is just a recluse, but batman is a hero, someone admirable, so maybe thats the only side of him he wants people to see, because he hates attention when people are focusing on bruce wayne. and i wanna see more of how his trauma affected him because ANGST

AND I WANT SELINA TO HAVE MORE SCREENTIME give us more insight on her character PLEASE and let her get an actual mask instead of that sock she has pls. i wanna know more details about her backstory, her personality, just hjjfdhdj give me more of my girl pls pls pls

[eggedsaladnotlickbait]

sploon (mainly deep cut) headcanons because its nearly midnight and whats better than sleep??? sploon hyperfixation. plus thisll act as a good dumping ground for headcanons that are canon to my oc au im developing, which includes my agents n stuff

all of them are neurodivergent in some way because, as a neurodivergent person, its VERY hard to try and write a character who isnt. so uh oops

LABELS: shiver is agender and use they/he/other pronouns. they also give me afab vibes (yeah yeah i know theyre wearing a sarashi and not bandages, im mainly going off their vibes and the fact that sarashi can double as a (much safer) binding practice when compared to bandages). they just think they/he pronouns are fun to say and hear, but literally any pronouns are fine for them. their lack of gender makes them above the concept of gender itself, iconic. ill mainly refer to them using they/them pronouns for simplicity. also theyre hella bi and tbh give me vibes that theyre somewhere on the asexual spectrum

frye is enby and uses she/they pronouns. shes very ace vibes and is biromantic

big man doesnt really mind nor actively choose labels for himself. hes just vibing as his he/him self and honestly? so true of him

agents 3 and 4 are both non-binary while agent 8 is polygender (i think thats the word? correct me if im wrong. basically multi-track drifting but in gender form and not exactly genderfluid since the gender is consistently yes). also im a supporter of agent 96 propaganda because 1 the ship name is funny and 2 fun dymanics

agent 3 gives me they/she asexual-demiromantic vibes. like its just true, trust me my dad is nintendo he told me

agent 4 is giving me they/them asexual of pure chaos and energy. also gives me demiromantic vibes but like in the opposite way to agent 3 if that makes sense. theyre both two sides of a spectrum

agent 8 never understood labels and stuff. thats not even coming from the octarian army or something, he just. never vibed with it. so instead shes yes to gender and loves their partners and thats all that matters to them

OTHER THINGS:

frye is the one who taught shiver inkling when shiver defected from the octarian army, aka they knew how to curse people out first and foremost, much to their frye's enjoyment and big man's dismay

frye streams gaming content and has one of those mics that go completely silent whenever she screams or yells too close to it. their alert for someone subscribing to their streaming channel is a voice clip of her breaking her microphone's audio input while playing a horror game

deep cut live in a nice apartment together and each have their own rooms (my oc rome has a room as well but shhh this isnt about him)

big man has a lot of plants in his room that he takes very good care of :3 all the handles to stuff is also larger so his fins can hold em better!! id think hed like soft things, so hes definitely got bean bag chairs and comfy blankets to snuggle up in

frye has a bunch of space to climb around in her room, like theyve got a thick fishing net attached to their ceiling and will crawl up and use it as a hammock. shes also got a bunk bed with a desk underneath!!!

shiver's room is nice and tidy, but still has a lot of decoration and personality to it. theyve got their aesthetic down and everything!! plus id imagine theyd like scented candles, so their room always has a soft scent to it. nothing overpowering ofc, just a subtle smell that makes the room feel nice. also, they own like a billion games and keep em all in a cabinet

shiver can whistle REALLY loudly due to losing one of their fangs (their top left fang since we already cant really see it if it's there). they use this power on their float during splatfest when the whistle part of their solo comes up

ill add more later but right now im tired sleepy so gn gay people im going to bed

I will ask you about your toh daemon au: Staying in line with your current thoughts with Luz and Hunter being siblings, how do you imagine that their daemons get along and expand on the sibling dynamic here?

okay one thank you so much for asking in. i want to answer this so BAD but literally all the fun answer are spoilers </3 which is why they're so fun to write! the entire driving idea behind this fic is to examine what it means to settle, and to like...explore the idea we are given of daemons in the hdm books (ex: daemons only ever talking to other daemons and even then thats rare). and luz and hunter literally are built SPECIFICALLY to answer these questions most out of the entire cast, 'cause eda and king deal with different questions, and the other kids touch on them some, but not to the extent that luz and hunter do.

BUT what i can tell you is this:

mari (luz's daemon) doesnt actually like hunter at first dfngfg shes a LOT more unforgiving of him when he betrays them in hunting palismen and holds a grudge and is sort of pissed at luz for feeling sorry for this guy. like luz, he literally [redacted, this au's version of stealing palismen for belos to chomp, in which he succeeds]. he made our life worse. why are you still thinking about him?

fidelity (hunter's palisman, w/ palisman being to witches what daemons are to humans) is the exact opposite of mari! the two of them (luzmari and hunter-fidelity) are sort of like...theyre split across the same halves, if that makes sense? luz and fidelity both want to believe the best in each other, want to reach out and be friends and have this mean something, because they're more similar than they arent, but mari and hunter are like nope, nope, we have problems (hunter dealing w/ belos; mari trying to rebuild the portal to the human world) and 100% are not about to befriend the person on the opposite side. nope. nope. not at all.

unfortunately for the two of them luz and fidelity are very good at being persuasive.

they are like....somewhat unhealthily codependent on each other, in the beginning. in this au theres about a 90% chance hunter's staying at the owl house after hollow mind, unless i veer WILDLY off my outline, and because of that they are very much sticking together as much as they can. hunter struggles a lot with touch because his entire life belos has sort of manhandled him without hunter's consent and luz is the only person he willingly seeks out affection from, because she's luz, and she doesnt really expect anything of him. he tries to kidnap her! shes seen his worst moments! and him trying to do better is enough for her, even if he thinks hes doing a shitty job at it.

fidelity Refuses to leave luz's side after hollow mind. flat out will not go far from her which works because hunter doesnt talk to her for a WHILE after the events of that episode. shes like...really overprotective and get into arguments with the owl beast over this.

mari acts fed up with this all but there is this part of her that appreciates it, because for so long she's had to be the one doing the protecting: she had to feel everything hard, because otherwise luz would feel it, and if luz isn't happy mari can't be that for them. so having fidelity around to be the protector means mari can actually for once in her life Deal With Her Emotions.

post kings tide in the human realm hunter is the only person luz will really tell her problems to, because he understands in a way the other kids just dont. because theyve been through so much together and he wont judge her for wanting to run away, for wanting to be selfish, when all her other friends are missing their families back on the boiling isles and what right does luz have to want to run away? when she has her mom right here?

i thought this is what i wanted, mari says, and its the first time shes ever let herself think this, this is how it was supposed to end. us going home. but now...

well, says hunter, as luz buries her face in fidelity's fur, i'll be here. so you'll always have that.

#toh #i write #ask #i love how im like 'so many spoilers i cant say much :(' #and then proceed to give details up until kings tide #look there is so much i am not saying ok. like w fidelity and hunter and luz and mari and THERE IS EVEN MORE HERE OK #but that is for me to know and put into the fic #and you to read about in like a year maybe and go 'woah i get it now' #and a grove of palistrom to you

[sorikkung]

okay SO not a question about any one specific character BUT: tell me about a character that you've written that you really, really love writing about and why it is that you love writing about them. i always find this so fascinating and love hearing people talk about their fave characters that they're proud of inventing 🥰

oooh that's a good one omg. and a tough one! i have to really think abt this one bc it usually depends heavily on the scene im writing, but that might just be because ive yet to get super far within any of the longer fics ive started writing that really have the chance to flesh out characters.

i definitely have a type in favourite characters to write, i just love love loooove writing any character that is cocky, obnoxious, but always manages to have a point or upper hand. just Fucking Annoying (affectionate) so it's not surprising that all the characters that came to mind for this question fit that criteria.

the first one being minho from my series what goes on in neverland, he wasn't intended to be a lead character and still isn't, the story's focus centers around the mc, chan, felix and eric, but im finding he is just fitting so seamlessly into the story as an essential character, because he mirrors the mc in many ways except for a key, stark difference — he doesn't give half as much of a fuck as they do. the story centers on a petty but emotionally-fuelled rivalry between mc's band and stray kids, and they all get very caught up in their feelings but minho, he just doesn't give a fuck. he's totally down to mess around, argue with them, fight them, fuck them if his boyfriend allows it, and even sabotage them if the situation calls for it, but it doesn't come from a genuine care about winning or proving himself or any of the personal feelings that cloud the judgment of the others — he's just in it for a laugh, a good time and a chance to cause chaos for funsies. basically he's just a huge enabler, and now that ive started actually writing him into early chapters im realising how naturally he plays at mc's flirting and mind games and fuckery. he's very observant about the people around him and has the self awareness most of the others lack, so he ends up a wildcard because of his easy understanding and getting along with both sides. which is even more fun when his boyfriend is just... the complete opposite. completely lacking any self awareness and way too in over his head in the rivalry. writing them together is a joy <3 i love causing problems on purpose.

another that comes to mind is ktk!beomgyu for a similar reason, even though i haven't finished that fic yet, so far ive only written beomgyu and i made him just kind of feral. within the first two minutes of meeting him he's eating pasta off the floor. carpeted floor. the whole fact that he's not human and has not grown up in the human world just leads to So many hijinks as he can completely ignore social etiquette and what is anyone gonna do? no one else can even see him! it's incredibly fun to have someone so detached and without a filter, so he can just ask completely out of pocket shit right in front of people that leaves our mc unable to reply as theyre in public, or just... shamelessly perving on their roommate because "dude, what do you think shinigami do all day up there? we just watch people. we watch Everything. this is nothing we haven't seen before." ah, the shenanigans.

#this is inspiring me to work on that more thank you for the juice melty!!

i remember my primary school teacher reading aloud enid blytons faraway tree books when i was like 6 or 7, and i just remembered this scene where theyre offered chocolates and the 'greedy cousin' character takes a moment to choose the biggest one so the person who offered them turned all the chocolates into stones including the ones the other kids had already eaten, and i just like remembered this scene for ssome reason without really thinking about it, but now thaat i am, i think its quite interesting, because from memory this wass presented as like a just punishment for greediness like it was the kids fault even if the person did go a bit far or something. and thats interesting cause its like, pretty unreasonable? like these were books written for younger children say in the 30s or so and obviously that was considered like a good lesson for kids character building then with what they were like

but then if you compare it to swallows and amazons, another book series for children that was written in the 30s, like that one has a completely different attitude. im not very familiar with enid blyton so i cant really talk about the rest of the stuff in those books or her ones for older children, but the comparison of that with swallows and amazons is really notable. like in that series, the kids are shown as polite and good kids and everything, thats definitely important in keeping with the era, but then like, rebellion and independent thought is actually encouraged? and with the food example, like those kids are shown actually enjoying food without that being a bad thing? like the younger especially like food, but instead of being presented as a greedy bastard, hes a young kid with a healthy apetite? and this really just seems to me to be a much more normal and reasonable way to present this

and again i cant talk much about enid blyton, but in swallows and amazons, like it sides with the kids rebelling against controlling relatives even though it encourages responsibility and common sense. and another interesting thing, and this is more for narrative purpose rather than thematic lession, but theres one scene that comes to mind when being disobendient and bad mannered is actually rewarded, when writing in someone elses textbook ends up saving them from getting executed. and like its not trying to say, you should do this, its clearly assumed the opposite, but like it doesnt patronise kids by trying to turn it into a lesson, it just tells the story?

i dont really know what the point of this was, but i think its interesting the diffrent attitudes that can be shown with childrens writing from this time, outwardly similar with both about kids going on adventures, and thyre polite and well mannered and everything, but actually are really pretty different in how theyre done

#swallows and amazons was like my formative books series wheras i wasnt that much into enid blyton #but the point of this isnt trying to say that swallows and amazons is so perfect and enid blyton is rubbish this is just about a thought #i had because i think its interesting to compare them #even though my thoughts dont really go anywhere #but i do wonder if among a lot of othr reasons this is why i liked swallows and amazons so much better #swallows and amazons #arthur ransome #enid blyton #the faraway tree #i dont even rememver much of enid blyton so i recognise that everything i say about it here might be total rubbish #i dont even have an opinion on any of those books
