Y'know what, since Kingdom Hearts is trending let me say that while I despise the mischaracterisation the series and specially Sora get of being considered a shallow "friendship is magic" kind of story where everything gets resolved by talking about your feelings and hugging it out, I think a good side effect of this widely wrong interpretation of the games is that newcomers get a bigger impact to the emotional sides of the story

People come in expecting a silly Disney plot of some kids becoming heroes fighting monsters and solving everything with the power of friendship and are never prepared to be met with plots about existentialism, identity, self sacrifice, emotional repression etc. People don't expect to see Riku's whole arc of self isolation thinking he doesn't deserve to be with his friends anymore, or Roxas and Xion struggle with the conflict of wanting to live and be real Vs the universe just not letting them, or Ventus' literally begging his friends to kill him to avoid becoming a tool for the darkness to win for something he literally can't control and that was done to him without his control. People don't expect to see these characters cry, scream and fight with every part of themselves for what they want, sometimes without knowing what it is that they even want. They get into the game thinking Sora is just a sweet, forgiving kid that will hug out his enemies and are met with him beating Demyx to death and immediately yelling out if any other Organization member wants to run the same luck because of how frustrated and confused and angry he is.

And you *get it*. You get why he feels like that, why he is acting this way, why they all act this way, because you've seen their stories from beginning to end and realize they're more complex than you ever thought. Because this is not the silly, shallow game you thought it was at first. And I think that's great

🦚🌞Félix and Sunset Shimmer both stole magical jewelry and replaced it with identical copys. The main heroine Ladybug/Twilight Sparkle is their personal enemy. Both had their villain arc but resigned to the group and the magic of friendship. Félix wields the miraculous of emotion; Sunset Shimmer embodies the element of empathy. Both are top students. Sunset Shimmer insulted the human mane 6 kind of like Félix with Adriens phone videos. Both don't know the first thing about friendship.

🦚🌞The red moon part and Sunsets Demon Shimmer arc are somewhat comparable too; here are some Sunset quotes: "Spoiler alert: I was bluffing when I said I was going to destroy the portal. I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school; I want Equestria! And with my own little teenage army behind me, I am going to get it!" "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't know there was another way." "Hmpf. I have better things to do than socialize. l'm going to re-read 'Advanced Elemental Magical Practices' and then practice for my advanced summoning spells exam. What are you studying for? Nothing, that's what."

Why do sickfics always say that a drink of cool water feels "soothing" on a sore throat? It absolutely does not - it helps later, but in the moment of drinking it, it burns like hell and I think that's underutilized.

i don't know why more writers don't jump on the opportunity to create a pen name and go by that when they publish shit. it's like basically drag but for people who sit behind a computer and get boners over correct comma placement

how do you write spamton's dialouge? i feel like so much of the original message is construed by his glitching and your ad interuptions are always so consistent and original. like what's your method for writing it out lol

ooo i've been hoping to get a question like this!! i love talking about spams dialogue :D

with some of it i use irl junk mail messages that wind up in my spam mail folder and incorporate those when i draw a blank on what to make him say. He's really wacky and like, referencing a lot of his dialogue in-game and sweepstakes, it can be either 1. relevant to what he means or 2. completely and utterly unrelated to what he means. sometimes i'll just throw in a reference that combines the two (like using a single word for what he means with other unrelated context) and just trust the reader to interpret it that way. i feel like writing his dialogue is risky at times cuz u don't wanna get too confusing which is why i'm like so happy when his point gets across to readers as intended!! Most of his little interruptions just kind of pop up in my head since i've been writing him for so long!

his speech is honestly a free plane with little rules, but like i tend to stray away from references that are too recognizable for us (like mentioning an irl name for example like home depot or starbucks), and instead go for vague advertising/memes i've seen/heard in infomercials/ads/on the internet that are just forever stuck in the crevices of my brain somewhere until they're unearthed from being buried by the passage of time. idk, for me, too obvious references in spamton-centered fic can really take me out of their universe and it's hard to mentally get back in. it's like a bad reality whiplash. if i REALLY want to reference something irl, i'll lean into a "if you get it you get it" mindset

(like i think in one chapter i made his tics reference the tumblr post of the 'down with cis bus youtube poop audio' and i literally couldn't hold myself back from that it was too funny to not include)

overall he's just too fun to write for once you get over the challenge of facing his daunting manner of speech. He can get as funny/scary/flirtatious/mean/crazy/etc without even meaning to be so. i've gone for the approach that he can't control the stuff he says, so my method is establishing the tone of the conversation/scene first before i get creative with what he actually says

love this stage of writing when you reread it and actually like it:')
