Młoda ogrywa ochroniarza w karty. (na kasę) (typ zapomniał jak sie gra po reboocie) (jest bezlitosna) | twt | ko-fi

fanfic inspired by this by my talented moot!!! 🥺

we dont have any examples of braytech security outfit ive made quick design for cayde. Completely dark one seemed bit too gloomy and hostile so i added some red and white from symbols concept art. Braytech symbols make it clear he is affiliated with corp and ishtar band signifies his job at protecting sundaresh in particular. And in his pocket is bray id card.

For micah i made hoodie based on penguin outer shell. Those toys are like matryoshka with plushie actually being inside the plastic so if micah took mishaylova with her for comfort it would make sense penguin would be "peeled". Way more huggable than a plastic statue.

The cards they play have backs with what i wanted to slightly resemble ace of spades (gun) decorative lines.

Also i wanted to make it clear its Eventide in some way so i took some screens of Exoscience. I like Operator symbol and it's halo makes it look divine so i put it on micah's side as she is a Dreamer. And jupiter for cayde cuz i fckin love jupiter in the bg raaaahh!!!! its so awesome. Couch is stolen from neomuna tho, lol. We dont have any access to civilian areas on europa but since its golden age there shouldnt be much difference. Couch is a couch!!

I don't recommend Twitter rn they've announced they'll be using art posted on their platform to train Ai bots with no opt-out option!! As far as I know this went into effect Nov. 15

I know bluesky is better!

Please please please don't let your art get stolen because the cheetos ugly bimbo is an ass!

(along with other anons who warned me)

Thank you so much everyone for you guys' concern and warnings. I read it all, and I did in fact chose to make a twt account. So far it's been normal, though (for now).

BUT. I stumbled upon this post on Twt :

it... basically said that there's an opt out option 💀

From my observation, the event is as goes :

X announced the plan that they'll use the images to train AI.

X said it'll launch on November 15th 2024

Artists mass delete their art and deactivate

November 15th came

The button to opt out showed up

I saw mass art deleting and account deactivation from the artists on Twt to Blue Sky. That did made me kinda doubt opening a twt account but I did anyway.

I do not know if this really is an actual opt out switch, but if it is, then that mass art-deleting and deactivation could be for naught. I don't know if I should laugh or cry tbh 😵‍💫 Like what the fuck is this turn of events?? Then again, this might also have something to do with Elon fuckery and people is just fed up with his shit..

Like, wherever big platforms we go to post art, I feel like in the end they'll fucking fell off and starts to train AI as well once they're big enough, they'll train AI. Don't forget that Instagram, Tumblr, and DeviantArt is doing this as well, even before X.

The formula is as goes -> Big social media platform trains AI. And then artists migrate to new platform. The place is now full of artists. Then that platform becomes big and announces that they'll train AI. And then artists migrate to a another new one. This shit is never-ending.

Our rights as an artist harmed by AI yes, but I don't fear AI that it'll replace me. I get it's annoying, but I'll stay in IG Tumblr and Twt because people use it.

It is trying times for artists, but until we have our legal creative protection by the government, I'm not backing down and deleting my shit and move around the internet from platform to platform because the trend says so/it's the right thing to do. It's exhausting 😵‍💫

Fanfic Writer Interview

Thank you to @ohhcinnybuns for the tag <33

How many works do you have on AO3?

Eleven, as of now! There's quite a few I need to update though, haha. I've got more fics in the works, as well as updates for those already published!

Your top 5 stories by kudos/likes:

I Am You and You Are Me (23,152 words), ongoing, T - a crossover, what-if story about the regular bsd world and the Beast world colliding.

2. What's Wrong, Love? (3,946 words), oneshot, T - Dazai knew Chuuya, in and out. The redhead would never cry, always a strong soldier. Yet here he was, shedding tears in Dazai's lap. Something was seriously wrong.

3. Please, Save Me (4,784 words), oneshot, M - Dazai Osamu stood on the train tracks, ready for the embrace of death. And as that moment comes, he truly believed he was going to die. Except... he doesn't?

4. Sleepy Times (2,536 words), oneshot, G - Dazai, the ever-good partner, knows all of Chuuya's tells. And when Chuuya seems like a walking corpse on their drive to a safe house, he's quick to realize the problem. He's got a beyond sleep-deprived slug on his bandaged hands.

5. Burning Bright! (12,449 words), ongoing, T - Chuuya always worked hard in his young life, balancing a part-time job with full-time college. He makes it work. But when his favorite actor (and crush) Dazai Osamu walks into his boba shop to get away from fans? It turns Chuuya's world upside down.

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try! I know I've got a few I still need to respond to, but I promise I read them and I appreciate them so much!! I just tend to forget to respond after reading the email notification since Ao3 doesn't have any other notifications after that :')

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Ohhh it's two and they're not published yet haha. But they had me tearing up writing/thinking about it. As for published, it's Four Seasons (Warning: MCD) or To Be Human (more angsty hurt/comfort).

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

So I have a bad habit of jumping between projects A Lot soooo I haven't actually written many endings, just mapped them out. For published, though, I'd say The Feels or Sleepy Times.

Do you write crossovers?

Apart from IAYAYAM's Beast x Canon world crossover, no. I love seeing art or fics that set the bsd characters into other worlds, but I'm not creative enough for that lol.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I don't think so? I've received spam but nothing like hate.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

In my head~ but I actually will be attempting to start writing it soon! I created a 18+ acc over on twt to explore it as well. When it comes to smut, though, I adoreeeee when it's tender or a first time.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yeah :') there was a website back in Julyish this year (2024) that stole a ton of works from Ao3 and put it on its own. Last I knew, the site was taken down, though!

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yep, into Russian! The link is under What's Wrong, Love? !

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope. A friend and I have created threads off our texts using both our ideas, but never actually co-wrote them.

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

SOUKOKU. I've been here for three years already and I fear there is no escape.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I've got a few that are just dumb little ideas, like one is labeled Port Mafia Family Adventures and is supposed to be oneshots in a series of crack shenanigans in the pm, especially when skk were there together. Now that I think about it, it'll prolly get turned into a thread or two on here and twt hehe.

What are your writing strengths?

Uhhhh not fully sure. Lily said I captured teen!Dazai very well in a wip the other day so there's that? Skfdkjsjfs

What are your writing weaknesses?

Staying focused/on track... it shows in my writing imo. I'm also not very good at dialogue and I think I can still get better at descriptions and characterizations.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

YES. always yes. I want it as accurate as possible, even if people don't know how to read it. It makes it so much more real, especially if, say, the main character doesn't know the language and someone (the villain, for instance) is telling them something in that unknown language. Makes it feel like you're in that character's place not knowing what's going on.

What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

Hmm if it was gonna be anything, it'd be from either fe3h (sylvix + yuri), zelda (zelink), or hq (kenhina) but my mini hyperfixations on those never last long enough for me to write anything </3

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Ooh. That's hard. I honestly love all of them? Like there's none I regret writing, they're proof that I can focus on something and produce it well enough to publish. I also really like all the concepts I've published so far, as well as most of the ones in my wips <33

[stabbyfoxandrew]

hii I love all your aus vampdrew is my favourite one out of all of them though it was the first one i read, I just wanted ask how far along are you in the plot of it? Like do you have an idea of when it's going to be finished? I'm just asking because I like waiting until fics are completed and then binge reading because I'm impatient😓sorry if I sound rude I just wanna know if it's an amount of time I can wait until the fic finishes or if I should just read it as updates come out

ah thank you anon i really appreciate that. <3

also,,, i have no idea. i'm not sure if you've noticed but there's not really a strict Plot to vampdrew. the others i have mapped out pretty well (except demon neil, who evades me yet) but vampdrew is vaguely following canon but with vampire!andrew and some kandrew freak shit involved. XD

since there are several arcs to come, like 1. neil finding out 2. kathy's show 3. the secret part that's not from canon 4. the banquet 5. nicky's parent's house and that whole disaster, vampire andrew edition 6. neil going to the nest 7. andreil getting together and kevin being the Most jealous bastard alive 8. neil getting stolen 9. The Secret Ending, complete with kandreil : )

i have no idea how much longer this story is going to take. all i know is i enjoy writing it. and i know it's probably annoying to read it in small parts but this is the only way i'm able to get myself to write longfics. TwT

[cowboys-only]

Stolen from twt because???? Wtf???

If Miguel had died on that stair case-

Johnny would have probably added drugs or something to his alcohol addiction, idk if he would ever recover if Miguel had died

Robby runs away, and when he’s caught he probably goes to jail for the rest of forever

Tory probably goes to juvie or something because the fight that SHE started had literal life or death consequences

Hawk prob tries to hunt down Robby, do him and Demetri ever get back to where they were?

Mind you Robby and Johnny would prob never speak again sorry

LaRusso’s ban karate talk idk, but Sam probably never recovers

Robby would also never recover mentally? Like do you expect that he would be like well woopsie manslaughter charge I’m going to continue doing karate yay tournament time :)))

Without Miguel the show is dead hate to break it to you

Fanfic Writer Interview

@chuuyaspinkmotorcycle16 tagged me (<3) and I almost tagged her wrong here because she has the audacity to use a different username than on Twt.

How many works do you have on AO3?

Nineteen visible, five hidden! Hoping to get a few more in before 2025 pray 4 me.

Your top 5 stories by kudos/likes:

Just gonna do the SKK ones because no one on here follows me for DC Comics or THG.

Post-Coital Miss (4,237 words) Oneshot, M - A (nonexplicit) fic where Dazai is That Dormmate who keeps the rest of the ADA up with his loud sex shenanigans with Chuuya and Atsushi contemplates the merits of taking after his mentor and jumping into the river after being chosen to confront him.

Less Like You (22,909 words) Twoshot, E - My scar sex fic—both of their scars, not just Dazai's. I don't really know how to encapsulate it in a blurb but it's actually not about the sex at all it's all a front for the feelings. So many feelings. (Too many feelings). Transzai because I love Twitter user ardenistired.

Supersonic Boom (67,502) Multichap, T, Complete - High school AU except Chuuya is the dedicated "good girl" student and Dazai is a delinquent "bad boy" truant instead of the other way around because you can pry that iteration of them from my dead, cold hands. Featuring Dazai's dastardly schemes, ultimate badgood romcom wingman Albatross, homeless Chuuya, and illiterate-but-also-smarter-than-the-teachers Dazai.

Places of Worship (8,250 words) Oneshot, E - Praise kink but it's also lowkey trust kink because Dazai enacts a dastardly plan to get Chuuya to break up with him because he realizes he's falling in love with him. Once again the sexytimes are incidental (but also very steamy).

nothing, the wind, the sky (64,790 words) Multichap, M, Ongoing - Started writing this at a lowkey dark time in my life. It's really heavy and honestly I'm not sure I recommend it? It deals with themes of suicidality, CSA, empathy fatigue, suicide survivor (the loved one, not the suicidal person) trauma, financial trauma, human experimentation/medical trauma, trauma bonds, codependent relationships, forced mental health care, and that's just what I can remember. It was originally supposed to be four(?) chapters but it has a plot now that's actually related to the events in BSD.

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! They make me so happy and I want to express my gratitude.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I actually don't usually write angsty endings. There's only one up that's not hidden right now, Deliver Us From Ev—. It's exactly what it says on the tin. A traumatized Dazai with no concept of healthy boundaries and consent manipulates Oda into having sex with him on his 18th birthday. It's non-explicit, non-sexy, lowkey kinda brutal, and I've been told by commenters that it left them genuinely upset and a little disturbed.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Supersonic Boom. It was SO soft and cheesy I didn't know if I was cringing or melting as I wrote it.

Do you write crossovers?

Anyone who thinks they can write a crossover after Magic and Mystery dropped is just kidding themselves. /lhj

(No, I don't haha).

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

No real hate! One nasty comment once, though.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes. Porn as a vessel for complicated emotions to the point the porn is the tangential part. Next question.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

OMG Malaika reminded me about the thief website crisis of summer 2024 that was wild. So yes.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

She has a private Twitter account so I don't know if she'd want me sharing it, but a lovely individual translated my The More You Grow series of teen SKK shorts into Russian on Ficbook. Link to the original here and the translation here. <3

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but I've done trades!

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

The controversial trenchcoat man and the redhead he's definitely not in love with.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Right now, all of them. 🗿🗿🗿

What are your writing strengths?

I wasn't quite sure how to answer this one. I just write by applying what I learned through the osmosis of a childhood of reading books for 4+ hours every day in ways that make the brain termites happy lol there is no craft involved. I went back through some comments on my fics to see if there were any trends and the most common kind things people have said were "I like how you write the SKK relationship dynamic" and "I like your writing style".

What are your writing weaknesses?

Including enough description. I am a very, very dialogue and character-heavy writer because that's the part of writing I enjoy and honestly a lot of the time I forget I even have to set the scene.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I'm not opposed to it but I never feel confident in doing that unless it's a language I know myself. When reading other people's fics, I enjoy it when the writer is doing it on purpose to emphasize the lack of information or confusion their character is garnering from the words, but to be honest I get frustrated sometimes when there's a really emotional conversation going on between two characters and suddenly I can't understand what one of them is saying.

What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

Don't laugh. Shenny The Big Bang Theory.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

No ❤️

As a charles and lewis fan, people are pissing me off by saying that charles won't be able to handle lewis next year if he cries on the radio like that or that lewis better be prepared for next year because charles is a bad teammate that's a spoilt brat. Clearly these people don't know what charles had to overlook these last four years with that guy as his teammate. Charles can race fair and hard, we've seen it with seb. And I'm not saying that it's going to be all rosy between them next year and I'm sure they'll have their incidents, but they're both decent people and have respect for another so there'll be none of this manipulation and backstabbing going on like there is now. Charles is only this upset because his teammate showed once again just what a selfish dickhead he is. Lewis would never behave like that so there's nothing to worry about. Charles can deal with competition, as long as there's respect, he doesn't have that this year but there's no doubt that won't be the case next year. And same the other way round. I've seen nothing over the past 7 years to suggest that charles would be a bad teammate to lewis. Or to anyone.

Yeah the takes i'm reading on twt are wild, they clearly know nothing about both Lewis' and Charles' characters. They're making me dread next year so much tbh; it's ferrari so things are going to go up in flames and fuck ups will happen that's just the nature of that team atp but one thing I know is that it will not be down to some shady behaviours on and off track from Lewis or Charles. I trust them, the rest not so much but that was always the case

Also complaining about Charles exploding once in a blue moon on the radio, my man has had a media training stick so far up his ass for the past 4 year let him say fuck! It was four years of bottling his feeling up about fairness in the team he is allowed to lash out, it wasn't about this one particular time but about being sidelined just to placate that other whiny bitch which resulted in undeveloped car, stolen wins and points, a wdc threw away twice, and for what?

the gwayupdates guide to safely buying resale tickets 🙏🏼, from @.gwayupdates on twitter

copy-pasting this thread here for ppl who don't have twitter:

regular resale marketplaces 🌟

if you don’t want to deal with a potential scam and have the money to spare, ticketmaster’s own resale market is your safest option, followed by third party resale websites like stubhub & seatgeek. the third party ones aren’t foolproof, but you can dispute sales that go wrong to get your money back. tm & third party have the highest prices because they take fees from sellers + are the easiest places for scalpers to sell. if you value saving money over ease of purchase, i’ll walk you thru how i buy my tickets.

cheapest places to buy resale 🌟

my go-to places are twitter, facebook, and reddit. i’ll go over them one by one. on twitter, i use keywords to search for sellers, usually a mix of artist name, city name, and the date. there is no set verbiage so it’s important to cover all of your bases. here are some screenshots of what my search history may look like if i wanted tix for the arlington show. note the variation i use. twt saves your history, up to 5 at a time, so usually i’ll search across diff accs multiple times a day to get to new posts first.

there’s so many other keywords you can use, as well. sometimes fandoms will make a hashtag for dates or tours, and those are great places to look. for facebook, join as many tour groups as you can. look up my chemical romance, and join tour specific ones or any buy/sell ones. on reddit, it depends on the subreddit rules. sometimes there will be specific posts designated for people to list their tickets and you can keep an eye on those. for all of these, it’s important to keep checking because for high-demand tours, well priced resales go fast too.

what to look out for before you contact the seller 🌟

look at their post history. have they tweeted about the artist before? recently, i’ve seen scammers who will change their layouts to look like a fan account, but their profile is completely unrelated, clearly bot posts, or cycles thru fandoms based on whatever tickets they are selling at the time. is their whole profile just selling tickets? do their posts sound organic and human? do they interact with people? note that actual people also do make accounts solely for selling.

another thing to look out for is wording—at some point you’ll start seeing the exact same selling tweets copy/pasted by multiple different accounts. don’t bother with those. when you spend enough time searching, you’ll notice patterns in how bots/scammers tweet.

verifying tickets with the seller 🌟

ok, so you’ve determined the account looks normal, or maybe there’s just not enough info, so you contact the seller. what now? before any kind of payment, ask for proof of them having the ticket. i’ve grown wary and now i’ll only accept screen recordings as proof, since screenshots can be doctored, stolen, and reused. i’m also very specific with what i want out of the screen recording: the seller should start in our open dms, exit the social media app, open up ticketmaster, show me their name on the account, and navigate to the ticket they’re trying to sell me. 99% of the time they’ll say yes, because they’re an actual human being who actually wants to sell their ticket for a good price. occasionally i’ve had people say things like “you don’t trust me?” or try to guilt trip me, and i just block and move on. scammers will do anything to convince you they’re trustworthy but actually show you real, undeniable proof. when i ask, i usually start with “sorry i’m paranoid of being scammed, could you please send me xyz” and normal people will understand & do it.

payment 🌟

unless you know this person, either directly or thru a friend, ONLY use the goods & services option in paypal/venmo to pay, and state in the description exactly what you are buying. if you get scammed, you can dispute it with the service, and they’ll refund you. using zelle, cashapp, or regular venmo/paypal opens you up to scams. note that g&s takes a fee from the seller, so i’ll always add 2% or whatever the fee is to my payment so they get the full amount, and i offer to do that upfront when suggesting my method of payment.

other random notes and tips 🌟

some sellers don’t like using g&s because after a certain amount you have to pay taxes on your sales. for a purchase this big, i wouldn’t risk it personally. i’ve seen people send half the money, receive the ticket, then send the other half, i’ve seen people facetime during transactions to ensure stuff goes thru and that there are real people on both sides and all of those are valid options. unless it’s someone i or a friend know, or if it’s a small purchase, i personally always use g&s and leave no room for error.

best time to buy 🌟

this next week or two will have many resellers, and then again in the 1-2 months leading up to the show. the weeks leading up to the show are when i start to do my rounds of searches every few hours, every day. it pays off.

if you’re willing to risk not getting anything, you can get great deals the night before or day of the show, even on those resale sites like stubhub or on tm itself, cuz this is when ppl are desperate to sell. i’ve even gotten free tickets before looking on twt hours before.

ok that’s all. lmk if u have any questions and feel free to dm me if you ever want help vetting someone! i want all of u to be safe and am willing to help make sure things work out for u. thank u! 🌟

again, here's the link to the original thread!!

[ssaemilyhotchner]

Sorry if you've already answered this, but why'd you stop writing CM stories for so long? (Glad you're back!!)

aw thanks anon :')

tbh it was a convergence of a lot of things? i was starting two writing-intensive degrees that would have left me little to no time to devote to fic & this was also right around the time that paget left & we all thought that was the end of the emily character (tg we were wrong), which was a huge blow. but a not insignificant part of my decision also was that someone had begun stealing my work.

i had an epic titled daddy's little girl that chronicled hotch, emily, jack & an oc hotchniss daughter from emily's pregnancy all through the daughter's life. it was a really special fic for me & someone literally just copy-pasted it, changed the oc's name & published it within the cm fandom under the title daddy's little princess lmao. i called her out on it & instead of taking it down she got her irl friends to bully me on twt & tried claiming that it was purely coincidental that all the plot beats & language were exactly the same, some of which i'd drawn from my own personal life. it was a huge joke & really deflating. so i just - stopped writing for cm.

that wasn't the first time someone had stolen my work (someone was publishing my fics under the castle fandom but when readers found out & told me & i confronted her about it, she took them down, tg) but it was the time that ultimately demotivated me.

tl;dr don't plagiarize & especially don't plagiarize then gaslight lol.

[ozfi]

A Princess Among Us: Arthur Granvelle is a Trans Girl

First, canon:

The established world of Vollmond is split between humans and wizards. Literally, in more extensive analysis, this is clearly a divide between goyim (mostly Xtians) and Jews, but in this specific case it is used to evoke something else.

The king and queen Granvelle are two humans, but Arthur was born a wizard. This was hidden by the two as well as it could be, but the moment it got out rumors ricocheted around about the queen cheating on the king to birth a wizard (a nonhuman). The queen could not tolerate her child being magical or the rumors about this, and chose to abandon Arthur in the northern wilderness to die. Later, in Arthur's location story, the queen is seen deliriously loving and protecting a small bird as her 'human' son in place of Arthur.

I tend to write/visualize Arthur and the overall setting as though transphobia does not textually exist - I prefer the use of allegory here, personally, along with other canonical hints that transphobia itself just doesn't exist in Vollmond (see this very good post about deltarune that i think about often) - but in this case it is quite literally that the queen wanted a human son, in which case 'human' and 'son' mean the same thing.

This is strengthened by Arthur feeling like she gets to be her "real self" with Oz/oji3 +in the North, where she gets to be a wizard and use magic and act without restraint around people who love and accept her as the little girl Arthur, and not as the failed nonhuman prince of Central.

And then, of course, this is all stripped away from her at the onset of puberty, LITERALLY on the day of her 13th birthday. She is stolen from this sanctuary and taken back to Central to stand straight and tall as prince and boy for a mother that will not even look at her (where her being a wizard is an open secret - where everyone knows that she's a freak and different.)

Something essential to note is that Arthur is the type of person who does not discuss her own suffering in a personal sense, that she is the type of person to ignore her own pain and instead focus on how things must have hurt others. She has only ever brought up how the pre-abandonment period must have hurt her mother, but not how Arthur herself felt or was treated during it. She goes out of her way to not mention the fact she was abandoned. She doesn't even like talking about how much pain she was in being taken from Oz, the person she actually considers to be her guardian, though it is more likely to come up because the feeling is much more raw. We can only assume based on how she is treated now, 17 and with her otherness an open secret, though it's also been mentioned that certain things have gotten a bit less painful over the 4 years she's been back... to put it lightly, even before being left for dead it wasn't great for her in the castle.

She does not like being a prince, except for the political opportunities it gives her to help others, namely other wizards (people like her). Look at this 4koma. She does not feel like she belongs. She pushes herself to be like her father because she's the 'prince' - but also, let's face it, her mother isn't the best role model (but Arthur still wants her love and acceptance [whole event]). She goes out of her way avoid being angry [ch4] because she's a wizard and people will be scared of her, and perhaps also attribute that anger to other wizards.

And then there's the amount of times she disguises herself as her 'Artie' persona, or transforms into anyone else at all, excited and overly willing to be anyone but the Central prince. (1, 2 [though she feels awkward and disparages herself for not being able to 'roleplay' well], 3, 4, 5: [Arthur Bday 2023 Q&A TLed by oshaberiduo on twt], 6, etc)

She's also been associated with butterflies, a sign of transformation and rebirth, a fair amount of times, and shooting stars, something similarly transient and beautiful (2) just as much. She wants to be a flower yet to be discovered or named.

She wants to be herself without expectations. She wants to be loved for who she is and as she is.

Of course, canonically it's good on some level that she was taken from Oz, as she cannot tie her happiness to him the way she does and continue to have a healthy relationship. She's dependent on him labeling their relationship (one everyone knows to be family), she's terrified of him not loving her (because they're the one who saved her when she was abandoned), and she's willing to die if it lets her continue to be loved/repays her 'debt' (because she thinks Oz is still """mad""" at her for """"leaving""””).

That said, I do think Arthur will remain in a political role in Central, but not as prince. She will be the wizard princess of Central, putting together both families she loves and getting to live as her true self with no pretense while helping the citizens she loves and working to make people like her safer. She will be the master of both worlds and live a much healthier life because of this, confident in taking the necessary steps to get to that point because she will always have people by her side.

Second, sources:

Every Mahoyaku character has a main source that's reflected in their names, influences their stories, and thus ripples onto the people surrounding them. Figaro is from the Barber of Seville. Oz is from the Wizard of Oz. Arthur is King Arthur. etc etc.

King Arthur’s story has a lot going on in it, as mythology often does, but the gist is that Uther Pendragon (the former king) seduces his enemy's wife with the help of the wizard Merlin, who in return for his services only requests that he be able to raise Arthur for a while. Arthur only finds out he's the king through a lot of winding circumstances; You know them. Read Arthuriana yourself - there's a lot. The point is that Arthur is the True King from a so-called 'disreputable union' raised by a magician.

But they also have secondary sources, sources the characters were not named after but heavily influenced their stories and personalities. Figaro’s is the Little Mermaid (see everything about her but especially June bride 2021 cardsto). Chloe’s is Cinderella (LOOK AT HIM). Shino’s is Robin Hood (Sherwood. Everything else). etc etc. And Arthur? Arthur is Ozma of Oz.

Ozma's story goes like this: the princess of the city of Oz, Ozma, is stolen by Ozpinhead (the titular Wizard of Oz) and given to the northern witch Mombi. Ozma's identity is hidden by transforming her into a boy who goes by Tip. Ozma lives her childhood as the boy Tip, not knowing her true identity, and going through many hardships under the tutelage of the unkind witch Mombi. Though, importantly, there he learns about magic, and uses it to both escape Mombi and go on a great adventure where he makes a lot of friends who love him dearly and has a lot of fun. Through various circumstances, the truth of Ozma's existence comes to light - she is a Girl, a Princess, and the true successor of the throne of Oz. Tip is frightened by this, but only because he doesn't want to change. He fears that if he changes, the people he loves will stop loving him. It's only through the encouragement of his friends and loved ones and the reassurance that they'll love her no matter what that she gains the courage to go through the process of becoming her real self again. She is still herself, just different!

………….

It's hard to explain just how point for point this is to people who haven’t personally read either or both stories. Either the plot point is exactly opposite, or exactly correct, to the point where it’s clear that the story goes beyond simple inspiration for Arthur's own.

Instead of being a princess kidnapped by Ozpinhead (the Wizard of Oz) and given to the northern witch Mombi, Arthur was abandoned by the royal family and taken in by the Northern wizard Oz (...the Wizard of Oz), though it’s clear the general view of the events has twisted itself into Oz themself kidnapping Arthur. This is not something Oz contests for various reasons, most of which consist of the fact that Oz was a cruel wizard before meeting her, and very much doesnt want her to idolize them (because if she ever finds out…). Arthur made Oz softer than even Oz's own friends could comprehend even with thousands of years of experience with him. But, again, Arthur was taken back to the royal castle of Central, away from Oz and oji3 (away from the place where she was accepted and could express herself fully), where she’s forced to posture as a Prince and Boy (though her secret is not much a secret here).

Arthur's biggest fear is of changing. That she’ll grow to be someone Oz doesn't recognize, that politics will change her, that Oz will stop loving her, that she’ll be left behind by the people she loves. The only thing that assuages that fear is Oz telling her that they love her, have always loved her, and no matter what, they just want her to be safe and happy and love the world she's in. That they haven’t abandoned her, and never will. Never could. And having the support system of not only Oz and oji3, then her friendships with the Central wizards, and then indeed the entire manor having her back in their own ways and giving her a space to openly, shamelessly partake in a part of herself she's still struggling to be able to fully express on her own terms.

Knowing she has a way forward to her true self that won't leave her closed off from the ones she loves and allows her to help them in ways only she can - that’s Princess Ozma!

tl;dr: There's a lot that goes into this: her simultaneous pride and fear of her 'other'ness; her day-to-day performances of her role for her mother (and the other Central officials) which still cant help but burst at the seams with her difference and is only alleviated (briefly) by returning to the place where others are like her (while knowing it's not her 'real home'); her abnormality being an open secret weaponized against her in vulnerable moments and especially for the sake of politics; her bone-crushing fear of being left behind by the ones she loves if she is totally, wholly honest with them about her desires and what she wishes to be (and where). Being literally based on an iconic transfeminine princess certainly doesn’t lend the reading any less credibility.

Basically, this is my little girl.

yeah so just to lay what i know out for the record

the info of bunnie's zionism is from a private twitter account they have. an account which they personally reached out to individuals of this community to follow - a separate private due to distaste for some following the first private they made on twitter.

because the follow count was extremely small to begin with, and even smaller now, i will not be sharing any screenshots of the account.

i am not trying to get anyone dogpiled on, whether it's the people who have provided sufficient evidence or even bunnie themself.

i have read through thirty two (32) screenshots from the twitter in question and it is all extremely vile and hateful.

the following topics are covered in the majority of their retweets, however this is a non exhaustive list:

- conflating being anti-isr*el to being antisemitic

- calling the genocide of the Palestinian people a "war"

- the notion that the people of isr*el are native to the land and thus have rightful claim to it - "it's not stolen land, it's the most successful land back movement for native sovereignty"

- posts saying those calling an end to isr*el are calling for "the genocide of 7million jews in isr*el as a reasonable solution to the conflict"

- complete denial of the starvation Palestinians are experiencing and have been experiencing for months "it was just straight up made up"

- a vent post about how "everyone suddenly has a PhD on Judaism post 10/7" (quite ironic if you ask me)

- ridicule of an individual who is now homeless for supporting Palestine

- equating the support of hamas to supporting h*tler

- racism. so much racism

Additionally they have made several tweets themself that are quite... off putting to say the least

one post that was a qrt. the quote talked about what the point was of learning about Nazis in history classes all throughout our formative years just to see so many sit back and let the current atrocity taking place.

bunnie's own tweet in reply to the quote said op was missing the point of what was being taught, because "you're falling for the exact same propaganda against jews that the german citizens did"

they also qrt a post about not speaking over black jewish people or discrediting their experiences. to which bunnie then questioned "when did [black jewish people] suddenly become experts?" - again, a bit ironic if you ask me

the amount of high-horsing and self victimization witnessed from their twitter is honestly disgusting. reprehensible is an understatement if you ask me.

again, while i do go in to specifics of what has been posted on bunnie's private twt here, i will not be posting screenshots out of respect for those that came forward with them and what they are most comfortable with.

i realize due to the lack of direct caps of the page, the info above is less creditable - however, it has been my experience of reading through (and i know others have seen the posts too) that such content be put on full blast one way or another in order to inform those in this space.

take what you've read as you will, and make a decision based on what you think is best, but do try to see what has been provided from those who witnessed it.

this will never be a space safe for anyone who supports the genocide being committed against the Palestinian people
