#[how mun is kinda feeling?]

[misteria247]

So a few days ago I had rediscovered my little 87 pal Michelangelo in my ripped bag of stuffed animals and for the past few nights I'd decided to sleep with it. Something I hadn't done since I was younger and I had honestly thought that it'd be annoying to have something in bed with me.

But it was actually the opposite.

It's actually super nice to have this stuffed plushie sleeping next to me like damn I understand why kids get hysterical whenever they lose their favorite bedtime pal. It's like having a sense of comfort and safety whenever you sleep. A silent guardian kind of deal. Like sleeping with this old stuffed plushie, it actually makes the stress I've been feeling lately lessen up somewhat.

I don't know how to like explain it, you'd have to sleep with a stuffed animal to get what I'm rambling about sgsgsgsgsgsg.

Yanqing #1

Yanqing, not knowing anything at all about his biological parents, has no opinion or emotional connection to them. He doesn't know the circumstances on why they did not keep him, whether it was willing or unwilling circumstances, he just knows that Jing Yuan stepped up into that role and has been the only parental figure he knows.

When Yanqing thinks of the word 'parent', Jing Yuan is what comes to mind for him. He's never addressed the General as 'Dad' (at least once he was old enough to understand that Jing Yuan was not his biological parent and proficient enough with talking to address him accurately) and has no intention to change the way he refers to him. Perhaps maybe in a joking way if it came up in a conversation, but would never in a serious way.

Even though Jing Yuan is the man who's effectively been his father, he's also Yanqing's swordsmanship and combat mentor, and eventually became his military superior too; so the respect he has for the man is basically indescribable and Yanqing will never waver in the loyalty and respect he has for the man and how Yanqing is where he is today because of Jing Yuan's care and guidance.

Man having read the first chapter of Encore now that it's translated and looking back at the title page of the last chapter I stopped at at Yet Another Failed Start At A Reread Of The Original (it was chapter four this time; p sure I made it farther last time), the difference is pretty startling. Everything looked so jank back then compared to now LMAO

I do wholeheartedly love the improvement tbh. ig it was only natural after 15+ years of drawing the guy.

//ALSO, SMTHNG IMPORTANT I WANTED TO MENTION:

//if i talk to you in DM's in between RP replies, especially when its your turn, know I am not trying to pester you or nudge for a reply- I am just imploding in on myself and never stop talking. Literally just picture this at all hours of the day.

Relationships

A ramble/introspection on Vash and his relationships, both canon based, pure headcanon, and recent RP based.

Rem:

He's always seen Rem as a parental figure, she raised them so why wouldn't he? He rarely called her mom to her face however, at first because she made such a fuss the first time it embaressed him, and then because Nai never did and he was following his footsteps for a while as kids.

For a while, after Tesla, Vash didn't think he could let himself call Rem 'mom' anymore, even if he still thought of and loved her as a mother. His trust in her was shaken enough that trying to call her that made him feel so unsure and guilty.

By the time he got over that feeling, he didn't have the chance to ever call her mom again.

He misses her constantly, of all the scars he has, the one Rem left behind is a wound that he doesn't think will ever fully heal, let alone fade.

Nai/Knives:

Nai is his brother, his best friend. If he looked deeper maybe he'd even call him another half of him, two sides of a coin. So similar and deeply connected in a way no human could replicate or understand. He loves Nai, looked up to him as kids, leant into the claims of Nai being the elder twin happily because it gave him something to admire and learn from other than Rem. He'd do anything for him.

Knives is a stranger with a familiar face.

He doesn't know what to think or where he stands anymore with what Nai has become. He still loves him, so so much, but Vash is also scared of him, hates him sometimes if he lets himself.

Brad and Luida:

Surrogate parents of a sort, intially Vash just saw them as indiferent strangers. Not unkind, but not close. After, he was torn on how to consider them. Friends? Family? Caretakers?

He had about a week long phase of 'big sister' imprinting on Luida that faded just as quickly.

Eventually, with enough time, they naturally settled in his mind as "Aunt and Uncle". Family, close, but nothing near replacing Rem. But that was okay, he didn't need to replace her. He could let his family grow without losing those already in it.

Meryl:

One of the first people he meets again after a long peroid of minimal long exposure to humans. He doesn't expect to attach to her at all, let alone how much he does in the end.

But shes so quick, and brave, and stubborn. How could he not?

He adores Meryl, be it platonically or romantically, not much changes at the core of their relationship. She's important to him, the first new bright thing in his life after a long peroid of time. She's more than a friend or a sister, even romantically she's more than a lover to him, he holds her in too high of a reguard to delegate her a label like that.

Milly:

Instant best friends. He's never quite clicked with a person the way he does with Milly, she just fits, and if she doesn't she slowly carves her space there with kind smiles and pateince.

At first she remind him a little of a mother. Not his mother, exactly, but someone motherly. Someone warm and safe, and she stays warm and safe, someone steady and comforting in his life.

In a ship, again not a lot changes. That steady comfort becomes a little more indulgent maybe, the more used to it he gets the less he needs it and the more it's just another thing he loves about her

Roberto:

He was pretty indiferent to Roberto intially actually, aside from noting he was arguable one of the sanest human's Vash had met, wanting to get out of the way as quickly as possible.

But the gruff man reminded him a lot of Brad, if a little rougher aroud the edges. In some way, Roberto feels more like an actual father figure sometimes, in others, he gets put in the uncle catagorey.

Wolfwood:

Man, where do I even start with this one.

Vash works out Wolfwood's deal almost from day one, and yet still he can so clearly see something good deep down he doesn't think twice about playing along.

At first Vash can't decide what to make of him. They butt heads, they have drastically oposing ideals and morals, the nicknames are weird and annoying. Sometimes Vash has never wanted to throttle a human so badly.

Time and sympathy from learning his past smooth over those edges, and Wolfwood becomes a friend.

He can hold his own in a fight, he's the one human companion Vash isn't so afraid to loose, because he's an equal. Wolfwood is still human, sure, and Vash is still scared. But he trusts the other in a way he's never been able to let himself trust before. Trusts that he'll survive the fight, with or without Vash's help.

And with that trust something more starts to grow. Friendship feels like an insult to they bond they have. They work in sync, they understand eachother without words or plans. He hasn't had something like that since he and Nai were kids.

Vash wonders if they're what people call soulmates.

Vash realises that this is what love feels like.

((So like 4 years ago I kinda broke a personal-ish sideblog with like 9 followers called @erratic-flamingfist and it's crashed my web-browser and failed to load the editing options since.

My offense?... Adding too many interactive cats! They used to run around and I think chase the mouse or something. Forgot what I did exactly. But the theme editor won't open from anywhere.

1 kitty fine. 2 okay.. 3 or more? Blog’s code might turn into a dumpster fire… X,D rip sideblog.))

[misteria247]

Ya know what I'm so ticked because the more I think about Tmnt the more I'm realizing that they could fit pretty well in a setting like JJBA I mean come on-

Magical/mythical creatures/artifacts

Aliens/ancient beings/gods/goddesses

Weird scenarios only happen to them because of their bloodline

Having mystical or spiritual or special abilities that only a selective few have

Coming across bizarre and unnerving situations or fights that no normal person experiences

Having a sense of duty to fight against an enemy that's been tormenting them and their bloodline for years and in some cases eons

Do y'all see what I'm getting at??????????

all ships take place in their own verse bandwagon 😊👍

[donuts4evry1]

Fo my friends who are children of Asian Immigrants born outside of that country:

I have a lot of Asian friends but they all only have one name as far as I know. However, children born in the third generation of my family have both an English name and Viet name (We're Canadian/US).

I'm just curious to see how widespread this practice is 🤔...

Bonus: Put your country of birth and what generation you're in in the tags :)!

I want to know for sure that this is not just something that happens in English speaking countries... Also I just wanna know if this is a generational thing or if my family just does something funny

I log into my other blogs multiple times every day and yet. Nothing Happens on them

[caeca-iustitia]

Wot??

Where tf did all that MATK come from???

Seph... tf is Vincent feeding you?!

Vinnie is a healthy boi

Pretty even stat spread overall tbh

But that health is something else lol

Aerith is lookin' alright

I absolutely could do better and I will

Thing is she isn't built as optimally as the game wants her to be- she's built to fit how I prefer to play my team so she's a little behind Seph and Vin...
