#(all i know abt him is the stuff ive heard him talk abt in the (v few)

[assumedcryptid]

ugh

[thatdeadaquarius]

So like I just went through almost all your language posts and I was wondering what if like the creator sometimes just switches languages out of no where and everyone is just like:😃. Cuz like they don’t understand what they mean and it happens randomly too or when they’re irritated and they just start cussing in like 3 different languages at once

IM SO SORRY TO DO IT TO YOU-

but i think ive written some stuff abt this before?

u know what tho.

ive got an even better idea. my “go-to” if you will.

Torture Alhaitham.

>:)

^^^ ALHAITHAM RUNNING U DOWN AFTER YOU SAY EXACTLY (1) WORD IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE HE’S NEVER HEARD-

☆

Sun: Gender neutral Reader (you/they/them)

Orbit: SHORT headcanons-ish?, Language shenanigans!

Stars: Alhaitham (suffer lol)

Comets & Meteors: Content Warnings: None Known & Trigger Warnings: None Known.

he’s watching you. constantly.

he’s always writing about you.

he’s following you around Sumeru City.

he’s following you around Port Ormos.

he’s at your house-

Alhaitham learns you speak multiple languages before any other akademiya schloar, and he’s submitting a thesis about “the Greatest Lords languages from their home world”

before you can even say “I’ll think about it” in any language u know lol

people have definitely mistaken him as your favored acolyte (not that he does much to deny it)

and talk to him like he’s your secretary?? …oh, welp.

Alhaitham knows your schedule for the next month within a week of following you

mans is willing to do the MOST to get you to sit down and just start talking in a language at him

want food? his specialty dish ingredients are always at the ready at his house

want literature? he’s offering to literally break into the akademiya (or giving you a copy of his house key to have access to his personal library all the time)

(tho kaveh is practically hugging you to his chest as you walk around perusing as he talks ur ear off lmao)

Haitham (he sometimes insists you call him when it’s just you two) wants to singlehandedly be the first person who understands every word you say when u coo at dogs in another language

or cuss out a fictional character for being stupid

CRYING U CANT EVEN GET MAD AT HIM BC

every time u get pissed he’s interrupting every other word you say to ask for definitions/clarifications of slang 😭

send help he’s made a red string theory board of all the languages you’ve used to try and just- make sense of all their rules and when you use them and how to tell the difference and oh no-

Alhaitham’s hanging pictures of you mid-sentence with ur mouth open or even worse when ur yelling.

…u know maybe its not for an akademiya project, maybe he’s just trying to humble you. 💀

☆

thanks again for sending this ask in!! :D

language sagaus my beloved <3

tbh i have likeeeee 54 things in my drafts rn? so needless to say im slow, BUT IM SO HAPPY U GUYS GAVE ME THIS MUCH TO FAWN OVER, REQUESTS OR NO <333333333333

EP 7-8 SHADOW MILK COOKIE THEORYYY!

(Badly explained)

(It was like 1am) SOO first of all heres how i think the story will go ig

Pure vanilla and the trio go to beast yeast to find the beast sealing ritual to avoid more chaos as said in the website. And where else to go in best yeast but the kingdom of knowledgee? And yk whos the holder of knowledge?

SHADOW MILK COOKI-

Anyways after arriving, Shadow milk will of course find out and probably separate them from PV.

The trio will probably be forced to play shadow milks game while trying to find pure vanilla cookie AND the seal thingy

While Shadow milk will make pure vanilla cookie follow his footsteps into corruption as said in the trailer:

— “Time to accept the truth you like so much! Your are merely following in my footsteps” - Shadow Milk

I believe that theres a chance pv will get corrupted or experience the corruption cycle. Mainly because i think devsis knows by by now that we are probably used to the typical cycle of the beast stories.

-Ancient goes to beasts land, ancient loses then Ancient awakens and defeats beasts.

It would honestly be SUCH a cool twist id go estatic if its real..

So there is still a chance they might twist up the story, I have lot’s of hope.

What i believe is going to happen to PV is shadow milk will probably torture him with games and trivias. Slowly destroying all his sanity!.. Making him fall under smilks control. And there is some SLIGHT proof in this theory as shown in this screenshot (1:03 in the trailer)

Notice anything? Look at his eyes, He has BLACK PUPILS

But there are indeed some sprites of cookies with these pupils when scared/frightened. But its normally matching their EYE COLOR.

Pure vanilla’s pupils in the photo are def BLACK not WHITE. And yk who has black pupilsss..

SHADOW MILK COOKIEeEeEeee

(But yes ik he has white and black eyes but idgaf, this is still good evidence)

But im also thinking it could maybe be him potentially getting posessed but mind controlled/corrupted is something id like more.

Anyways i also of course wanna talk abt the korean livestream photos

Pv seems to be climbing a tower/spire.. Im thinking its because hes trying to escape from shadow milk cookie's influence but once hes up. The lies start hitting him hard, giving him an existential crisis!

Ever since i saw this photo id always thought of what if pv awakens by falling

Like.. Imagine, Pure vanilla cookie finally reaching the top and he starts questioning everything then shadow milk suddenly tells him the cruel truth he's never heard. and tells him why he started telling lies and stuff bla bla bla. Then tries getting pure vanilla corrupted the same way he did.. And maybe he does get corrupted or i dont know honestly LOL

Ive seen many theories of his awakened design being angelic like so i hope he gets angelic bird like wings. his design is kinda sharp like feathers..

[everl0v3r]

so in stars and time got a discount for anniversary. and so i bought it. and then played it for 12 hours straight. and oh. My god. so i feel like making a silly post abt it

(spoilers for various stuff ahead lmao)

first of all. mirabelle being aroace came out of the blue but the SCREAM i screamed when she started talking about it. i feel like we never get any romance repulsed characters in media really and i love that there was a side quest that allowed that aspect of her to be shown off And it still related to her main struggle. phenomenal character writing ough. and siffrin asexual too <33

also i adore odile but i did not expect her side quest to hit the second hardest. “i am other” might be one of the single most banger lines ive ever heard. i love her character but that made her so much better. this game might be one of the few where i actually felt connected in important ways to All of the party members

i only got to act 3 so far (i did the full friendship loop, probably i need to yap at loop a lot which i have been neglecting) but siffrin also had many moments where i was like. Oh. that’s. that’s me. with a very notable one being the plant room when everyone made a conscious effort not to touch him like. eee

last thing but i also really relate to siffrin feelings-wise, as someone with a dissociative disorder. i don’t really know how to put it into words well but sometimes i feel like i’m looping too. like every week is the same and i mess it up a different way each time, and everyone around me is just saying lines in their own little scene that i’m not in. and the memory thing too, my adhd combined with that often make me think things happened that didn’t, or i forget really important things a lot of the time and can’t even remember enough to retrace my steps or leave clues for myself. i don’t know but that feeling is a lot of why i was lowkey glued to this game until 3:30 AM yesterday.

tldr new fav game thank you in stars and time

[brian-kinney-apologist]

hey babe!! i have a qaf question for u

ok so ive heard ppl in this (very small) fandom talk abt hal sparks really negatively either because of his character (understandable, micheal sucks ass) or because of his political views/beliefs/whatevers

i have never understood the second part and was told that u are quite the qaf historian so i was wondering if u could give me a lil summary of what those beliefs/views of his are because i would really like to know!!

ty in advance 🖤

well hello there, nice to know that my reputation in qaf fandom is still alive and well lol

so. here's the thing: if we're talking politics overall he didn't say anything questionable as far as I know (he has a podcast on youtube or smth where he trashes trump and other republican politicians (I'm not american so my knowledge of american politics is pretty basic so don't quote me on this one lol) so it's fine with me lol)

if we're talking the show though 👀💀

he did say some things back in the day that made people dislike him (but mind you now everything is cool between everyone involved in the show at least public wise so we're going to talk about the times when the show was airing and some time after it ended)

1. the most questionable™️ thing that he's ever said was comparing kissing a man (a costar on screen) to kissing a dog and people thought he meant that it was disgusting or smth BUT he did clarify later that people misinterpreted him because he meant that he's not attracted to men so kissing male costars on set during filming did nothing for him (it was an answer to some interviewer's question what it's like to kiss a man so take it as it is 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️)

btw interviewers AND fans had no decorum back in the day asking the whole cast all sorts of personal questions (poor randy still has ptsd bc of this 😭💀)

2. now it's tea time!!!! hal used to have a beef with gale and randy that led to him being hated by their fans. so. before the show aired hal was the most famous actor in the cast (except for sharon gless obviously) and he thought (was promised ?????) that he'd be the lead man™️ of the show. but after qaf aired everyone fell for gale (obviously sorry not sorry lol) because he served and ate everyone up. and also everyone focused on britin. hal didn't like that (considering it was basically gale's and randy's first roles on tv) and he started saying some stuff about them (publicly). for example, he said that actors' work is doing what's written in the script no questions asked. that was a clear dig at gale and randy as they were famous for constantly questioning/criticising the writers/showrunners/producers, disliking their plotlines and basically voicing their opinions on set (they did nothing wrong, should've complained more, look at s5 🥲). also hal did say one time that he would never work with gale again but didn't elaborate why. and as far as I know he did say more shady stuff about gale and randy during different interviews but I don't have any more specific examples (i think he was also constantly pointing out that he's straight while gale didn't say much about his own sexuality and hal was speculating about it). moreover, I remember reading somwhere that hal didn't like people who drank/did drugs bc he himself was against this stuff and gale and peter smoke some weed before some s1 promotion event and hal had a problem with it. the last thing: he also did complain about gale staying in character (whatever that means in regards of gale) during filming but no one else complained so 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️.

(I lied last thing fr fr I wanted to point out that gale and randy NEVER said anything back about hal so that kinda makes you think)

hope this helps, if someone has something to add or wants to correct me, feel free to do so

[flunkett]

ive been watching alot of video essays by other autistic people, like patricia taxxon and tensai productions and every single one brings me to tears.

i was diagnosed late, later than my brother, one because i was born a girl and two because my brother fit the stereotypes to a tee whereas i just didnt.

my brother was "difficult" and loud but i was "easy" and quiet so my mom never thought to test me. never had to worry about me because i was the good kid yanow? but it wasnt that i was "shy", i wouldnt grow out of it, i communicate differently, that wouldnt change. i act different to the others around me.

i was lucky as a kid to have a friend who looking back was also likely neurodivergent so i didnt care too much about the fact i was different up until maybe 5th class. then i began to wonder why nobody but my friend really liked me? i think i blamed it on my friend, which i wish i didnt do, but i for the most part thought i was normal, it couldnt be me right? then we lost touch once we graduated primary school and upon starting secondry i realised oh. its me.

id look at people talk with their friends that they somehow managed to magically make the first day and id feel a seething, sick, jealousy within me. like that pit in your stomach you get when you do something wrong. itd make me so angry, id want nothing more than to scream at them for just laughing in my vicinity. then i made a friend and for whatever reason she has stayed my friend for five years despite my flaws. despite my disorder. and i couldnt be more thankful.

i believe i was diagnosed in second year, my friend said it was a shock at first but "made sense" and i agree, it does make sense. im autistic. i wish i remembered more of my childhood but from what i do remember there were definetly signs. not just in the way id communicate, but the way i held myself, the way id move and walk, the way id play, the way id obsess over things. i dont know if i would have liked to be diagnosed earlier like my brother, he was put in a special class and from what ive heard from him it was anything but helpful. teachers who clearly didnt know how to handle neurodivergent kids, making things worse, all that stuff. but i cant say being in a class of people who just seemed better than me was any more helpful.

idk what my point is, there is no tldr here i jus wanted to talk abt my autism because i dont feel i do enough

[mala--draws]

starting a pain chronologue bc let's be so real these idiots all have some sort of ache/pain and would neverrr talk about it (darry)

today's subject of contention! two-bit bc he's silly but i don't know much abt him compared to the others so feel free to add ur own bits / correct me :D

- he's always got some scrape/scuff on his knees, elbows and hands from doing random acrobratics on hard asphalt. his trousers always have holes (real not artificial we live for it) and most of his clothes have the elbows mended by his mother and eventually his sister

- his elbows r also worn out from leaning on counters and whatnot (to hit up the girls/hj) but that doesn't hurt unless he's got a scab that hasn't healed yet

- i don't think he'd have any chronic pain? more acute, stuff like sleeping on his neck badly and jokingly complaining about it for the entire day

- where everyone else tends to ignore/avoid feeling pain, he leans into quipping about it ("is my beautiful face ruined? it's not, is it?")

- wears his house keys either around his neck (necklace) or attached to a carabiner (invented 1910 so i think it's possible). when he wears it around his neck, the skin goes sorta green but it's hidden beneath his shirt usually

okay i don't have anything else Except i have a newfound love for him in the musical that i didn't have before (for some reason i thought it was dally singing in HTH and not two? idk) through watching videos of the musical. he's so flippy!!! and energetic and spinny and it's soo fun!! daryl pulls it off so well, ive heard audio recordings of henry (understudy) and it was a super fun experience :)))

i lauv me some acrobatic and strangely flexible guys (looking at u sakura haruka)

[definitelynotshouting]

the hashtag about the life series making you anxious while its ongoing is so real btw

OKAY! so my friend and i have been talking about the scarian dynamics in the life series for a while and while a lot of it REALLY hurts me (i have a very weak angst heart) ive discovered some aspects about this current dynamic that im absolutely chewing on.

SO! In limited life there was a family dynamic where Scar was the son of Cleo and Etho, and i can still see that playing out in secret life! Allow me to explain:

In the most recent episode Scar had to do the opposite of what everyone told him to do, so when grian asked him if he wanted to team, his response was very weird and "avoid"ey. Grian brought up MULTIPLE TIME in his video how "scar got really weird about teaming with me" (which to me totally reads as Grian overthinking the situation and thinking Scar doesnt like him anymore)

So anyway, Grian asks to use the enchanter and Scar says that Etho has it and he trusts Etho with it because "Etho is honest". Grian goes to Etho and Cleo and asks to use the enchanter only to find out that its NOT scar's enchanter. Etho says something along the lines of "well I dont know why Scar thinks hes in charge of our enchanter but yes we do have one" which TOTALLY sounded to me like a parent who's adult child feels a sense of entitlement to things they share with their parents (Ex. an adult child calling their parent's car theirs even though they share it).

Etho lets Grian use the enchanter and starts asking him how he's been and if hes been making any friends and the WHOLE interaction between Grian, Cleo, and Etho feels like parents trying to make conversation with their son's ex or something

AND THEN CLEO AND ETHO TELL GRIAN THEY HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH SPACE IN THEIR HOUSE AND THAT HE CAN STAY WITH THEM IF HE WANTS BECAUSE HES TALKING ABOUT HOW HES ALL ALONE AND HE HATES WHERE HES LIVING AND AND AND AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Grian also brings up how he asked to be friends with Scar and "he got really strange about it.." and Etho went "yep that sounds about right" and Cleo agreed- WHICH SOUNDS LIKE PARENTS BEING LIKE "oh we know our son still loves his ex and everytime he talks about their interactions its awkward" LIKE THEY KNOW THAT ITS SO AWKWARD BETWEEN GRIAN AND SCAR AND THEYRE AAAAAAAAH

anyway the whole interaction to me seems like Scar's parents trying to welcome Grian back into their lives as part of the family in the hopes of setting the two of them up again because they love them both and can see how silly theyre being with all this miscommunication

do you hear me screaming

-Binge Reader

WOXNWKDNWKDNEKDNKWJDKEK WHEEEEEEEZE oh my gods i heard some stuff abt the scarian interactions this last episode and that grian teamed up with cletho but AKBDWKDNKADKSK THATS SO FUNNY HELP,,,,,,, "that sounds about right" ETHO WHAT ARE YOU TELLINGG USSSSSSSS ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ /SILLY

This is hysterical thank u for telling me abt whats going on AKDNQKSNWKSJDBWKS gods,,,,, i cant wait to hear abt what happens next week this is insane

[wasyago]

episode 110 spoilers

just like, random thoughts and stuff, mostly bits that i remembered

i sat down to write this i forgot everything oh my god--

in chip's flashback. the black rose pirates following the king to the big sakura tree, and arlin holding baby chip's hand. this. the cutest shit ever, i think i almost cried at the image of this big badass group of pirates and this itty bitty child led gently by his hand. even if i didn't cry before i sure will right now, baby chip you're so dear to me...

QUEEN! they didn't remember anything aughhhhh 😭😭😭😭 and their and chip's little talk about how they're going to put the pieces together :( and their hug :(

whatever drey, finn and earl are doing on the ship... like, what? hello? glad they're having fun tho lol. also wait hold on a second. how did drey answer the call? i mean, probably with his leg or something, if i had to guess. or maybe finn held it up for him. not sure if finn is at it enough to be able to answer the shell by himself, so earl and drey are the only ones who can actually use it. and seing how earl is in a... predicament. hm.

jay saying that when she looks at gillion she sees family. AUGHHHHHHHHHH AUGH AUGH OUGH jay ferin i love you. and this is so important to me not only because like hell yes they're more than friends they're a family, but also for jay of all people, considering her relationship with her blood tied family and how complicated her relationship with this word is.

also girl please do something about your leg, im begging you. the bone is visible, this shit is not going to heal up by itself. i dont know how you're still limping around this must hurt so bad. i guess adrenalin maybe, but still. at least get some bandages or something, i don't know... what is it with jay and her legs actually. she fell off a roof in edison kingdom and landed on a piece of metal that fucked up her leg, and now this.

oh my god niklaus, how could i forget about my babygirl. i mean, what can i say i love this guy. i dont know how many times ive relistened to his intro song, but definitely more than i should've... um. there was a lot of big important lore that i don't have the brain capacity to process rn.... i want to say that niki is the nameless prince and/or the thing trapped in the hole in the sea. because he can only interact with one person at a time by inviting them to his pocket dimension (even with jay it was said that the time around her stopped while she was talking with niklaus), implying that niki is trapped somewhere and this is the only constricted way he can interact with the world. and to answer chip's questions he said he wants freedom more than anything, again implying that right now he doesn't have this freedom. which makes sense, right? but then, the big bad thing was supposedly trapped thousands of years ago (i think?), but niklaus was a world famous pirate lord not so long ago and not trapped anywhere, so.....? idk im probably missing something. can't for the life of me find the moment where they read the nameless prince book so like, whatever.

that moment where jay talked to chip about how she thinks its all her fault and she should've just gave up her arm and leg. and how chip reassures her....... them 🥺🤲 kind of inspired by that post abt chip and jay i reblogged earlier, but these two talking about their emotions and feelings is so dear to me. just, being human with each other and opening up. gill is great ofc, but i feel like for these two its much easier to talk to each other to feel understood and heard. i love them.....

chip is still very much dead and probably won't be resurrected any time soon, so... hooray new undead chip design! but also oh my god my poor boy... forever 19... (also charlie and condi being surprised that chip is only 19. yeah </3) my poor guy my poor baby, he sounds so beaten and depressed in the beginning of the episode, its just breaking my heart qwq...

star and zamia <333 hehe

chip trying to marry igneous. lol. darling chill out, you just got out of one unsuccessful marriage and it didn't teach you anything, you're dead, you're only 19, you've known this guy for like, 2 days? don't get me wrong, godspeed to chip, but cmon man take him out to dinner first or something

and uhhh. the end, that's all i got

[urbestestwindgod]

3. suffering—its fun n ody gets to talk to his wife what do u want from me

4. scylla—AHHHHHHHHHH i fold over and seize every time those strings start after the “hello”

30. love in paradise—OH EWEWEWEWEWEW i would like this a lot more if people didnt act like calypso deserved to feel happiness or joy or pleasure or even life? idn where this unbridled hatred for her comes from i dont feel this way about way worse characters BUT I WANT EVERY DEATH IN THE ILIAD DONE TO CALYPSO FIVE TIMES EACH CALYPSO WHEN I CATCH UR ASS—its not even about odysseus anymore ody get in the car mama has business to attend to WHEN IM NOT SORRY FOR LOVING U COMES OUT I WILL SHAKE MY HEAD IN DISAPPOINTMENT AND and gently and discreetly remove it from my epic playlist :3 i block everyone i see who talks positively about her genuinely she ruins my day. i know shes not real but still the concept of her makes me physically shake in anger sometimes in the middle of my perfectly normal day SHE SUCKS I HATE HER I HATE HER I HATE HER SO FUCKING MUCH dont ask me why i dont know why but just just put me in a room with her and every weapon ever ever made that would be wish fulfillment for me

saga rating is ocean, thunder, cyclops, troy, underworld, circe, wisdom (and depending on how im not sorry for loving u goes justr know vengeance is going in eighth)

anyways uhm im a little manic this week but i hope i didnt make u hate me TOO much with this i am aware that my taste in everything is bad my favorite food is plain butterless angel hair noodles ans my favorite drink is water, my favorite color is green, my favorite animal is probably frogs bc most animals give me the heebie jeebies, and my favorite book is frankenstein thanks for being here i love u :3

omg thank you! i’ve been watching ays and been mostly confused about all the discourse ive seen because there’s a lot of things that ive really enjoyed about it and it almost feels like im watching a different show than everyone else lol

the more i watch the show the more in awe i am of the kind of person jimin is. im somebody who is typically wary of celebrities and dont like to glorify anyone bc we never know who these people are behind closed doors. but jimin makes it so difficult for me haha he just genuinely seems like such a warm, bright person and the more i see of him the more it amazes me.

watching the last episode (ep. 4) i was reminded of smth i thought about during ep. 2. in one of their conversations, jk opens up to jm about the kind of artist he wants to be and the music he wants to make. while i don’t agree w what he said, it really struck me that it was the first time jk appeared genuine to me when discussing his solo career. i didnt have to agree with him to realize he was being sincere to jimin and that that is so much more respectable to me than the cool guy persona he forces during his public engagements.

in ep 4, there was a similar moment where th was talking to jimin about nj’s song and goes on to talk abt the kind of music he aspires to make and stuff. again, had never heard him express himself that earnestly abt his solo career. it just struck me that when they’re alone with jimin we get moments like that. i’ve never really been into th or jk for various reasons, one of them being that they often come across as disingenuous, but in those two moments i respected their sincerity and realized that its smth about jimin that brings out the best in people.

I suspect this happened to me as well. Jimin being there makes things so tolerable that you even begin to understand the feelings of the other members because he facilitates spaces for people to speak frankly and vulnerably.

Same with Namjoon in the album exchange.

It’s like their facades fall down, idk.

SOOOOOOO i would love to know the deets behind Rayco 👀how did they meet? how did Ray get the royal advisor job? how do they fall in love~~~~

anything you wanna share i am ALL EARS :3

@selinas-ships

OMGGG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY SO LONGGG

OKAY OKAYYY IM STILL SETTING UP THE LORE AS I GO BUT HERES THE OUTLINE FOR WHAT IVE GOT SO FAR (Also this is gonna be kinda long because I need everyone it understand this amazing intellectual idea I had ☝️🤓/j)

Okay so basically uhmm I didn’t have much of a way to actually insert myself like I usually would 💀😭 I googled a time line so uhm- I was lowk kinda cooked but like 💀💀 I have to insert myself so I just kind decided to be extra with it 💀

So time travel is a funny thing?? How this happened I have not a clue. (I’d imagine Ray has a roommate or something who like practices magic or something I dunno 💀💀 I feel so cringe writing that but I’ve got nothing else. Also it just makes sense for Ray to have a roommate who practices magic since she makes potions and stuff like Yzma) so basically yea- uhm I’ll just explain this like a story I guess because there’s more to this guys LIKE A LOT NGL.

okay so Ray practices chem and zoology (she also makes potions) and her roomie (got no clue what to name her) accidentally makes a time traveling portal while Ray is reading up on a old book (for guess what?!? That’s right the poison- poison for kuzco- the Poison made specifically for kuzco- Kuzco’s poison okay I’ll stop 💀) but yea she’s reading up on those exact type of elixirs mostly out of curiosity (lowk wants to turn her professor into a Llama because he failed her on an exam 💀) but yea that happens they get transported back to when and where that book was written (I’m not worrying on the details because nuh uh- too much work)

But yea so Ray and her roomie are kind of adjusting to life trying to blend in. I really have no clue take with that what you will 😭😭 I got no idea it’s just an outline tbh.

How they became his advisor?? 💀 not a clue. I’d imagine most of the town’s people not only from Pacha’s village but all of them have at least bumped into her or heard of her (he stands out to much 💀) but most regard them as highly intelligent. And since Yzma got turned into a cat Kuzco’s been looking for a new advisor ever since then but hasn’t found the right pick. I’d also imagine a few of the town’s people had been suggesting her as a new advisor for a while but he never got to it until he started actually doing interviews and they showed up. And uhh well yea he sure did ace that interview!! (Kuzco just really likes talking to them lmaoo- they were literally like pretend bickering the entire interview they clocked his shit 💀 so off he had to hire him he can’t just have some boring old person be his advisor now he needs something fun of course!!)

OKAY THATS ALL IVE GOT FOR THEIR LORE NOW TBH ID SAY ITS LIKE… friends to lovers but it’s happening slowly (neither of of them wants to say they like the other they have wayyyy to much fun hating on each other lmaoo) ANYWAYS THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR ASKING ABT MY GOOFY AHHH SHIP

[stardustvalentine]

finally revamped my old kyouhaba playlist !!!

and because i’m a little deranged, here’s some explanation on the highlights:

when life hands you problems- really encapsulates the messy chaos of the kyouhaba dynamic to me

bad day- a LONG time ago i’m pretty sure i saw a kyouhaba animatic wip to this song??? but i can’t find it anymore??? i think it was one of the things that got me into the ship so hmu if anyone knows what i’m talking about 😔😔

jason- sports and internalized homophobia. enough said

hurry, hurry- THE kyoutani song to me!! especially “i’m the jerk who’s late again” (late to practice) & the overall rushing through life, tunnel vision, blowing past opportunities for connection w other ppl. go go GO no time to think about all that stuff!! i can just totally see kyoutani as the type of guy who’s always in a rush

i don’t dance- sports and homoeroticism. enough said

problems- the song that got me into mother mother cuz i found it on some random 8tracks kyouhaba playlist when i was 15 and didn’t have spotify. both of these guys have major problems but i see the song more from kyou’s view, seeing himself as a mess next to yahaba who at least APPEARS much more put together and perfect

difficult- “the best dysfunctional team that this world has ever seen” is the most perfect description for them ive ever heard. yes they fight yes they get irrationally angry over little things but yes theyre also the best most in love partners at the end of the day

in the wings- yahaba’s literally always on the bench but kyoutani’s the one who gets the opportunity to play. yk, essentially the crux of their fight, so song title fits. more importantly though, the song is about trying to be people you’re not, and yahaba is Very Obviously trying to be oikawa 2.0, so he’s essentially waiting on the bench/wings of his own mind (and we only see the real him come out in moments like the confrontation)

touch starved- i saw someone put two best friends by bb been on a kyouhaba playlist once but lets be real. the REAL bb bean kyouhaba song is touch starved !!!! “fever got me aching” on ao3 REALLY sold me on this cuz yeah it makes sense. we don’t really see people touch kyoutani. when yahaba does so fearlessly, that’s bound to do SOMETHING weird to his brain right?? from “wait i thought this guy was some shallow idiot” to “wait he’s not scared of me” to “wait he’s being as violent with me as i am with everyone” to “wait he’s actually TOUCHING me?????” it just makes sense.

rebel girl- THE gay punk song imo. looser connection here than the others but gay punks. cmon

anyway that’s only like a third of the playlist, so go listen to the rest!!!! and feel free to ask any questions abt the ones i didn’t explain 😚😚

[boy-above]

on this pride month i've decided that the current closest descriptor for my gender is...

i'm gonna do a whole lot of talking abt my gender and stuff, honestly it's mostly for myself to organize my thoughts but i do like talking abt myself sometimes so if you read, thank you i guess

before i figured out i was a boy i ID'd as nonbinary for several years, i was hesitant to ID as masculine because at the time the community was so drenched with radfem ideology that myself and a lot of other transmascs were afraid to come out / even think about exploring masculinity because we were constantly being told how evil men were all the time. so instead i went through like, so many nonbinary labels, but none of them really suited me, i discovered. agender, bigender, genderfluid, i tried a lot of them. the thing is that i knew i didn't want to be a Girl, but was very hesitant to consider i was a Boy because of the previously mentioned radfem rhetoric being spread. this isn't a post to talk about that though, you've heard a lot about that from me already lmao. it's just an important component of the struggles with gender i had growing up.

anyway, once i finally accepted i was a boy, i was excited. i checked the boxes for a trans man, i wanted a dick (and am still mad i don't have one), i wanted he/him pronouns, i was comfortable being called a boy, etc. and i still want all of those things, so why am i starting to question the trans man label?

i think mostly it comes down to how my gender has been shaped by societal and environmental expectations. i have gender dysphoria but not in an entirely "traditional" way. i want a dick, i want a flat chest, i want a deeper voice. but im also gender nonconforming, and have no interest trying to do traditionally masculine things to "fit in" with cis men. i don't think femininity is some horrible thing to be avoided, i like a lot of feminine things and don't think so many things should be gendered in the first place. i don't think trying hormones would fix me because there's other ways i Don't want to look like a man. if anything i would say Nothing can truly fix my dysphoria because i don't want to look like Anything. there is no perfect me i can envision in my head, if anything i don't even want to look human; i don't even want to be perceived. there's also parts of me that no amount of surgery to fix, im only 4'9 for example, and even cis men get berated for being short let alone trans men.

that's why i've only told my immediate family, my friends, and my doctor that i'm a boy. i never plan of publicly coming out. on the rare occasion i do, i settle with they/them instead of my preferred he/him because it's just easier that way. you get a lot of laughing and eyerolling as a feminine looking person if you try to use he/him. ive been trans for so many years but i can never truly escape the chance that people might perceive me as a "trender" (hate that word, gag) because i simply don't pass. and then of course there's my parents who refuse to use he/him and will only use they/them. they know i want he/him but they won't even try. they're just like "you can't really expect us to call you a boy."

i have so much sympathy for fellow closeted people. the community never considers you and it ends up being a lonely place. you don't fit in with cis people but other trans people don't want you. once i read a piece called "i am a trans woman, i am in the closet, i am not coming out." and i can't even tell you how important that writing was to me. i read it at just the right time, years ago when i think i really needed it. it's one of the only things that made me feel like staying in the closet was an option. that i can only be out where i feel safe.

i've questioned before if my gender nonconformity and the way people treat non-passing individuals is the true reason i've become skeptical of my trans man identity. i think most likely it is, i think that if we lived in a world where it was perfectly socially exceptable to be a feminine trans man and people in public would accept me and treat me like a boy, i'd have no problem saying "i'm a trans man", but we don't live in that world. the world we're in right now has no room for people like me, and it's something i've had to accept. another thing worth mentioning is that i don't even really like the word 'man' being applied to me, i just felt like i had to use it because some people treat trans boys badly if they prefer 'boy' over 'man'. but i like being a boy. the word boy suits me better. the word man just doesn't seem applicable to me. i'm not masculine enough and the word just feels kinda wrong in my brain, the same way being called "handsome" does. i want to be cute, and calling me handsome would just be inaccurate. do you get what im saying?

but anyway, i think demiboy suits me because its more 'loose' than trans man for lack of a better word. its less specific and i think thats what i need right now. im a boy, but calling myself binary doesnt quite feel right. calling myself nonbinary also doesnt feel right though. like i said i ID'd as nonbinary for several years so i have no problem with the label in general, it just doesnt feel right when applied to me personally. it's kinda weird to describe, i know demiboy is not a binary identity, therefore is by definition nonbinary, but the word nonbinary itself just doesnt vibe with me, so i guess i would prefer not to call myself nonbinary??? i dont know how to describe it, it's just a labels thing. because like i said, i feel like trans boy isnt an entirely wrong way to describe me Either. im rambling now because i know my labels problem doesnt make sense. anyway uh yeah. i'm a demiboy. and for anyone who didn't see the post i made a while back, i use he/him and sometimes it/its. unenthusiastically throws a handful of confetti

[forgottenronan]

OOC | Ronan's Tourney Disguise

ok so in the theme of continuing to dress up my lil barbies laksdjflkjsdjf i wanted to talk a lil abt ronan's look as cathaoir!!

also here's what i said on eithne's entry as to reasons why eithne (and others he knows) might not recognize him immediately from a distance:

I ~do think Ronan at least was pr heavily disguised…cillian ~wasn’t but he deffffff made sure he was standing as far away and as obscured as possible from anyone who could recognize him as possible…also think he might’ve like…entered as THE KNIGHT OF THE WHITE HART or smth so that (in character as ormond) like…he could do a dramatic reveal that it was lord ormond all along!!! But conveniently that reveal came only after the malconaires had left and arthur and edmund were gone etc so ppl only heard afterward that it was him (he’d told @forgottencassandra ahead of time tho so he could wear her favor bc he’s secretly a sap but you did noT hear that from me!!!!!!) Ronan like grew a beard and dyed his hair and generally looks a lot more haggard in general etc and like…probs wore an eye patch it smth to further obscure his face etc def a big cloak etc

^^^^^ reminded me what i forgot to say abt @forgottencillian 's tournament shenanigans!

ok so first of all, i think i should note that i think the ronan that went to war (and therefore the one that's depicted on his wanted posters etc) had a look like this (but yknow...younger):

but the one that exists today looks more like this:

and, like, clearly that is the same guy but obv the vibes are v quite different, plus i think his cheeks are sunken bc he hasn't been eating as much/as well and like he's got more scars and there's a completely different look out of his eyes and just...you can tell this dude has been through it w one glance yknow? whereas before it was just #bigbro vibes yknow? and so i think even ppl who know him super well have to do a bit of a double take to be like 'omg that's ronan' even just starting off so!! there is that!!

i also think he darkened his hair for this from blond to a dark brown so like a rougher vers of this kinda thing (but w the beard and the longer hair a la the above gif):

so i do think he was frankly kinda vain before he went away hahaha (i mean...can we blame him? ;D) and always took meticulous care of his appearance and now!! he does not care!! clothes are abt efficiency etc!!

i do think smth similar to the above is what he came to the melees like: ringmail and boiled leather and possibly a wooden shield but idk abt that (def did not have lions on it tho probs plain) -- basically just the war stuff he still had on him when he was forced to flee w any identifying markers torn or shorn off basically, and he def doesn't have the coin for plate armor like arthur and his (multiple) suit(s) of armor -- the chainmail was probs a huuuuuge splurge that was frankly probs provided by lord m as a gift before he left for war bc he ~did volunteer so there was some advance knowledge before others had need and yeah!!

for the archery thing, obv you don't want heavy mail on so he was probs wearing more normal clothes, but -- ok so lore drop (tho tbf i think ive mentioned this before) but i hc that his mom, caoimhe, came from ormond before she met and married their dad who was, obv, from malconaire. anyway, obv the frosts grew up wearing malconaire styles, and the clothes he had w him when he fled was ofc his usual clothes which is v malconaire-y but yeah i think he had @forgottencillian pick up some ormond peasant clothes for him so he'd also have ~that difference going for him (he might've slightly overthought that one at least re: the invaders recognizing him bc i feel like, as far as roderick's concerned, anyway, astairan style is astairan style and those lil slightly different cuts etc by county are probs lost on him...but probs did help w other astairans ig?)

his most remarkable piece tho was a big, heavy cloak worn to help obscure his features, tho i imagine he did have to take that off/at the v least lower the hood when he went to shoot but anyway here we are!! atp he had his back or at least side turned to everyone bc i doubt they were firing ~into the crowd BHAHAHA soooo hopefully that helped hahaha

butttttt i do think this cloak wasn't just to obscure his face...i think he got this cloak from the fens as a specific fuck you to roderick for what he did there, and i do think its probs a particularly thick, heavy vers they have there bc of all the rain and weather there etc so yeah and i ~do think its more recognizable so even roderick might've noticed ~that

since he was ~planning to get caught, he wasn't as much tryna obscure being seen (tho who he was tryna hide who he ~really was lakjsdfkljdkfljsdf tho it also wasn't the biggest thing in the world to him if ~that came out either just as long as he got locked up in the same prison as the others) sm as look a lil sus -- and make a statement

also the eye patch is canon now ;DDD cillian: 'ronan when did you lose an eye?' ronan: 'i didnt this is symbolic of roderick's blindness' cillian: '...ok...is he only half-blind, or...?' ronan: '...it also looks sick af' cillian: 'ok im glad we at least uncovered the real reason...it doesn't...but im glad to know anyway ur wearing it anyway' ronan: 'fuck you' cillian: 'love you too bro' ;DDDD
