#And i also dont know how to..ask people to do things

[confusedmothboy]

im scared to ask how you feel about lottie as a character

i have a very complicated relationship with lottie and ive been DYINGGG to talking about her because shes more interesting than shauna can ever dream of being. SHE'S the complex female character we need more of.

okay so to preface: i have multiple scales for character appreciation in my mind. there's writing (how well they're characterized and their role as a narrative decive), personality (how much i would fw them as people), action defendability (self explanatory, how willing i am to ride for their defense), and treatment in the fandom (how contrarian i wanna be)

yall know how it is yapping under the cut

lottie. ohhh boy.

writing: oh no notes. 10/10 she is one of the most fascinating characters in the show. her setup and descent is so well done, and her motivations are beyond complex, like you have her trying to do the best for everyone, but also her whole "the wilderness will choose" mindset. she contrasts herself in the yummiest ways possible. her role in the story is absolutely the most relevant and important for the narrative to progress the way it does. as a character, shes's so well done it makes me wish that i could be objective about the whole thing

personality: unfortunately im not able to enjoy characters simply from a robot analysis objective scale. lottie's personality is -while interesting- absolutely INFURIATING to watch. i personally cant stand characters that i call "progress blockers". she repeatedly forces her belief system (deep psychosis) onto the rest of the team, at the expense of escape or actual rational thought. this is where i have to admit: i root for morally sound, logical characters especially in shows like this. "but you can't watch the cannibalism show and complain about the cannibalism" first off. who said im complaining about the cannibalism. im just complaining that shes tormenting my favs (ben, travis, akilah, nat). i do like that she plays a complicated role as the group's mediator, except her mind is so warped, she does an awful job at it (drugging travis, letting shauna beat her up, deluding her followers). i think that shows how much she cares for these people deep down, and i can respect that. more on that later in ther actions section.

actions: so lottie, like i mentioned earlier, has a really interesting internal conflict of wanting to do whats best for as many of the team as she can, while also not being against sacrificing them for the wilderness's mercy. she very much believes that the ends justify the means. however. i can't ever look past her scenes on doomcoming. and im hoping that the people who made it this far aren't illiterate fucking troglodytes who want to debate on what actually happened to travis that night. because it was s/a, actually, it was attempted gang rape and then attempted ritualistic murder. "you cant watch the murder show and hold it against the murderers" we all know damn well that thats not what was most upsetting about that scene, and im allowed to hold certain crimes over eachother in terms of severity. and quite frankly i just cant bring myself to like a character who engaged -ACTIVELY LED AND RATIONALIZED- in that. lottie's whole schtick is that she just doesnt fucking understand or respect boundaries, literally and metaphorically. moving on from doomcoming, she's weird and culty about shauna's baby, which shauna has full right to be freaked out and pissed about. she becomes the leader of the group in s2 and then can't make proper decisions. she lets shauna almost beat her to death instead of trying to mediate the situation rationally, setting up shauna's vengeful nature we see in s3. thats something i could talk about for hours, how shes partially responsible for the shauna we all know and hate. her drugging travis and akilah is a page straight out of misty's handbook, and i dont think i have to explain why it's wrong. her killing edwin?? denying them all escape, causing a chain reaction with shauna and tai also staying behind??? that elevated my blood pressure to a level dangerous to my health. i cannot stand progress blockers. yes, i know she thinks everything she does is right. that doesn't make me (a rational bystander) like her actions any more. again, there are rational people in the show, so im just gravitated towards them sorry guys.

fandom: lottie has two types of people rooting for her in the fandom. theres the "omg my lord and savior she can do no wrong" group and the "omg crazy ass schizo mental illness queen" group and neither of them get her. she's flawed. but her flaws shouldn't all be attributed to dehumanizing conversations about her mental illness. let's not forget that she was a 17 year old going cold turkey on antipsychotics after living the last decade on them, in a situation that's beyond stressful, mind you. no fucking wonder she turned out that way. whatever. i feel like there arent a lot of her fans who recognize the absolute gray nuance in her character. or maybe im just on tiktok too much and everyone on there is fucking rotted beyond belief.

conclusion: i love her. i hate her. im neutral. she scares me. i blame her for all the problems out there and she's doing her best. that's the point

guh

what process did you tell him?

The process l told my brother was very simple like l myself was even shocked cause l didnt even paid much attention and told him basic stuff and he shifted at his first try

I think thats the key you have to make it simple its not a complex thing

So at first l would like to credit my beloved @sheeezu l personally follow her method but l kinda personalised it by myself , she’s the first shifter l follow on tumblr

So back to the process l told my brother to get comfortable like take his time to get into a position where he feels comfortable then close his eyes and focus into the blackness until ur body gets numb and try not to think abt a single thought (i know people have intrusive thoughts but like just try ur best) at some point you mind will go blank my brother told me it took him 8-10mins to go to the state were he had no thoughts in his head

Then after ur mind got blank you have to think about ur dr but theres the thing think from ur dr not about ur dr

Bear w me let me explain what l mean by that think as if u are ur dr self for example ur dr is hogwarts so think as urself in hogwarts , what would u think if u were in ur dr

-l will ask harry for helping me do my homework

-fred and gorge were too funny today in class

-l will sit next to luna tomorrow

Etc (you can also think past stuff like things happen in hogwards with you before in your 1st ,2nd year any funny scenario etc)

So what my brother did was he wanted to shift into a game and after his head went blank he started thinking abt what he will do in the game and he did it for 15-20 minutes until he shifted

He told me that he didnt even realised how it happened he didn’t felt scared or anything he just shifted then he played the game for 2hours and won the game came back to his home in his dr and when he put his sword down he shifted back here

So thats all

Let me recap the process

1. Get confortable

2. Close ur eyes and focus into the blackness until ur body goes numb and ur mind gets blank w no thoughts in it

3. Think from ur dr self and keep going patiently and you’ll shift

And thats all

Last note : dont ask how , when , why just do it , its super simple shifting is a very simple thing and its easy too just believe in yourself

[lunasdestiny]

Hi! Wow, you answered that ask faster than I thought you would XD (I am gift headcanon anon for clarity). And yeah, I probably should have sent an ask before with the headcanon I had that the rescue bots suffer varied levels of survivors guilt before I sent that other one for context, whoops. (Spoilers: long rant ahead, (and also may get a little dark?) I don't know where boundaries lie, I'm sorry) I know Rescue Bots is a kids show and can't really go in depth with the war like in Prime, but I really wished they had little snippets with the bots having 'reality checks' every once in a while that cybertron was gone and struggled with that fact. Blades feels it the most because he is an anxious mess that lets his thoughts get away from him. So the fact that they went into stasis only to wake up and find everything/everyone they known and loved was gone for millions of years…that would mess anyone up real bad. And the fact it was all gone because of a long, brutal war they completely missed by sheer luck?! That's not something you just brush off.

I can imagine in the beginning Blades remembering friends/family he'd love to talk to about earth and his new mission only to get slammed by the reality that those bots he talked to a few days ago are long since gone and he can't talk to them ever again! PLUS the fact that Decepticons hit Rescue Bots first thing in the war and Sigma 17 were the only rescue bots to survive the bullet! The last four of their kind. I refuse to believe Blades didn't immerse himself in human movies and internet so he wouldn't spiral. He knows deep down he's not responsible for what happened, nor could he control anything afterwards, but after seeing new cybertron it's really hard not to think about the people he knew that don't get to enjoy this new peaceful world. And he feels he can't confide to Bee because how do you tell a war veteran with serious trauma that you feel guilty because you took a nap for millions of years only to wake up and play hero with humans while he and his team battled horrors beyond your belief just to survive everyday of a brutal war that killed your whole planet and everyone on it?! You do not dump 'Sorry I wasn't there to watch all of these terrible things you experienced, but I kinda sort of wish I did so I can feel I deserve to be here and enjoy this without my spark eating itself alive from thinking about how many suffered while I got off scott free'. Nope, nu-uh, not saying anything, hey look at that new thing! That looks like fun hahaha!!!

(I am so sorry this got so long (and got a little too dark?). I honestly love Blades to bits but sometimes I do wish they were more in the Prime continuity so we can get more backstory/inner thoughts/growth from their characters.)

OHhhhhh mANNNNN 😭😭😭😭😭

Dw I have the same wishes for any show I watch but I guess that's left for us to interpret!

Tho I imagine Blades does have a boiling point. Kinda a follow-up on the last ask you sent as well, but Blades and Bee are staying at a place during their time in Cybertron. Bee returns to the room only to see Blades with his back turned and making little sounds. He asks if he's okay only for Blades to turn around and he's just crying big Ghibli tears

Of course seeing Blades cry makes his whole world stop so he goes up to immediately hold him. Blades of course tries to make a joke but it just makes him look more pathetic.

"H-Heatwave said we couldn't cry. He's such a liar! I've done it before a-and I'm doing it now!" But he can't hold it in anymore and his voice breaks with a sob "I'm sorry!' "What are you sorry for?" "I'm supposed to be enjoying this trip and I'm ruining it!" "You're not ruining anything. You're upset...Blades you can talk to me...you dont have to but you can."

That's when it all spills out.

"I just can't stop thinking about everything from before! I miss my family! I miss my friends! I miss the rink! Everything I remembered from home is different or gone! I could have seen them off but I missed it all because of a stupid energon eater! And while I was in stasis all of that got destroyed! I should be grateful that I didn't experience the war but I feel like I'm being tortured! I know it's not true, but for some reason it feels like my fault! AND NOW IM RUINING THIS TRIP BY BEING SAD ABOUT IT!"

Bee just holds him tighter. He knows he can't exactly relate, but he wants to comfort Blades as much as he can. So, while holding him, he lets Blades have a good cry.

"What can I do to help you feel better?" *sniff* "I like this actually..." "Good. You've been holding in a lot, haven't you?" "Mmm..." "I can't say I relate completely. But know I'm here for you if you need anything. Even if it's just for this." "Thank you...Heh. It's funny. I remember getting teased a lot for being a crybaby back when I was younger. It got to the point I tried my best to hide somewhere whenever I did." "Sad that we weren't friends then. You could have cried around me if you wanted. Knowing how I was, I probably would have tried to make you laugh by doing something stupid." "Hehe...It would have probably worked. I was easily amused." "...Tell me more." "About what?" "What were you like back then. Maybe other stuff...If you want to, of course." "...Sure."

They end up falling into recharge in each other's arms.

[goblinwithgame-official]

Alright holy shit, reblogging this because I'd really rather dumb shit like this not be spread around when you guys do not know me. I'm damn well aware I have an inflated ego, I'm pompous, harsh and crude, and I do not "blame it" on having aspd you ableist prick, I literally cannot change my personality and I have no intent to. If you took some time to look into cluster b personality disorders you might have a better understanding of what you're talking about. I'm not asking anybody to be ok or relaxed about how I behave. You either like me and my work or you dont, easy as that. I have no ill will toward most my haters because I understand my work and art is NOT for everyone. Its gross, weird, honest, cruel, and even to write sometimes its sickening. BUT you're talking about an entire story written by people with cluster B personality disorders who were all traumatized due to various forms of physical, emotional or sexual situations and you're talking down to us as if writing or depicting it makes us as bad as the subject matter? Really? Thats super fucked up man. Depiction is not romanticization you arrogant, stupid cunts. I have never said "VIOLENCE AND GORE AND NUDITY MAKE STORIES MORE MATURE" because that's a stupid fucking take. I have said and will continue to say that the stories you see in majority here lack substance or purpose and settle on the UwU'fication of serial killers, rapists, kidnappers, etc and thus have no substance as you're simplifying a tragic horrid thing. Which is literally romanticizing it so shut the fuck up and look in the mirror oh my god. Atleast my production isn't fetishizing any of this and is just being honest about how awful it is. We are NOT writing characters worthy of redemption or a happy ending and we know that. If you have violence, gore, and nudity like my team does in our story, then more power to you but edge without purpose or substance is just edge. is most of my art JUST EDGE? absolutely, I'm a bored guy with ASPD who enjoys gore. And if you knew anything about ASPD you'd know chronic boredom is a massive symptom, so when I'm bored I doodle, and those doodles tend to be fucked up nasty shit or its concept art for the sake of camera work and because we dont know exactly how to plan specific things so we do a runaround and figure it out through multiple illustrations, shitty little plannings and the like. On another side note: My writing of Tyrant and Leech's dynamic was literally side by side written with her actress and creator, @w4ikr We agreed we were writing the same character, and wanted to explore the dynamics of two narcissistic sociopaths who fall for their older and younger self because they could never find that respect and love in anyone else. It's a literal plot point and I've received an ungodly amount of support from cluster B individuals who relate to the writing. If you dont like me and my work, block me, its that easy. Instead you're being an ableist cunt and spreading misinformation for the sake of hating. Also: I never once said "She was porking he brother" you whiny fucking moron.

Why I No Longer Support Anton Morrow Or Blessed Be The Wicked

Okay, we're finally doing this. As always: Do NOT harass anyone involved. This is not what this post is for.

So, this has been a long time coming. I know I keep repeatedly saying that I don’t wanna cause drama but at this point? It’s not even a drama anymore. There’s a glaring issue that’s been circulating the fandom for a while, and up until now, people have either been ignoring it completely or are too scared to say anything at all — which is understandable. I’m frankly scared to be finally making this post. But with most of the fandom beginning to speak up on this, now is a better time than ever. 

You’ve all most likely seen my latest, very angry, Jeff rant post, and some of you might have already put together as to who it was about: Anton Morrow, the creator of Blessed be the Wicked.

If any of you remember the whole “mistype” situation that happened in 2024 revolving around BBTW, you already know I have gotten into a bit of a spat with him before. Then it was all cleared up, and we were chill. But now, with all that’s been happening, I’m starting to question that situation as well.

When it comes to creepypasta, you gotta acknowledge and respect both sides of the fandom, because more often than not, they tie together. Anton, however, doesn’t do this at all, creating a space where people feel unsafe and uncomfortable like they have to walk on eggshells. 

We are not mad at the fact that you are trying to make BBTW horrifying, grotesque, and realistic. In fact, a LOT of people were hyped for your project. No, we’re mad that you have to be an asshole about it. Shaming anything that doesn’t fit into your view of what a character SHOULD be, hating on the fandom way more than you claim to love it, villainizing characters that should not be villainized, like Jane, who’s a VICTIM of Jeff, not doing proper research (apparently not knowing that Clockwork was an SA victim despite her being your “favorite character”), being a fucking hypocrite (hating shock value yet using it in your work as well), and most of all, claiming to be bringing back the old roots of Creepypasta when you don’t even understand or know what those roots are. 

This fandom has ALWAYS been cringy, weird, and unrealistic. I mean, we have a tall faceless man in the woods, a magical black and white clown, and a guy whose skin turned completely white because of BLEACH. This fandom was never realistic! 

You can only use the “I mistyped” or “you all misunderstood me” excuse so many times.

Are you telling me you didn’t mean ANY of this?

Like, if I recall, David Near’s, MBK’s, Pastra’s, AND Ekatlani’s Jeff’s are NOT soft boys at all. But you refuse to acknowledge that, don’t you? Because even if they are closer to what you claim to be looking for within a Jeff rewrite, you still hate them because they weren’t what YOU THINK the character could be. 

But somehow, that’s not even the worst part. No, the worst thing has to be what you’ve done to Leech. Characters change, I understand that. My personal gripe with her not being the character I initially was excited for anymore is just my personal bias. What’s NOT, however, is the relationship you’ve put her in with Tyrant. 

Now, I’m all for toxic relationships. I’ve written them myself, but this? This is straight-up fucking grooming. It’s non-consensual, and you straight-up called Tyrant PREDATORY. 

And the fact that you tried to edit your post to hide what you said first tells me all I need to know.

Not to mention, you continuously like to bring up how much YOUNGER she is than the other two (Context: She's in a poly relationship with Tyrant and a character named Marc)

This goes past a toxic relationship, this is straight up fucking CREEPY. You admit that Tyrant is using his VICTIM, cause that’s what she fucking is, as a way to feel like he’s not all the negative, that “he deserves love.” No. Just no. 

I’m disappointed. Tired, angry, and disappointed. I thought you were a cool guy, Anton. I thought all of you were cool. I was genuinely excited for Blessed Be The Wicked, as I’m sure a lot of the fandom was. But you showed your true colors the moment your project began to get popular. 

Not so politely, fuck you. And if all you can do is complain about is the fandom having fun, fuck off. 

[puppppppppy]

learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way

[redr0sewrites]

ohhh my GOD are you seriously a fucking proshipper?? why can't yall just put it in your bio that you fucking suck like everyone else so i can block you BEFORE i get attached? i would really love it if i didn't have to block another writer or artist i've been following for months/years. i wouldn't have engaged with you at all if i knew, and i sure as shit am not engaging with you anymore now that i do.

btw, 90% of your recent anon asks (since ~December) have been coming from me alone. i honest to god wouldn't have wasted my time with you at all if i knew, but you're too much of a pussy to admit the kind of person you are, because you KNOW you'll get backlash for it. being spineless AND a degenerate is honestly pathetic. pick a struggle.

i mean this kindly but what the fuck are you talking about 😭🙏

[bogos-bint3d]

random thought bc i was making alphyne sims LOL, do you think undyne would ever want to have children? how do you think she’d be as a parent?

While I personally don't quite have a "definite yes" or "definite no" answer for this I personally think that, yeah, possibly! I think it's a question with a lot of layers to it, "is it something the character would want?" "Is it something the character should do?" "How much thought would the character put into it all beforehand?" "How long would the character wait before making that choice?" And first of all I think I should talk about fandom culture's view on kids in general. Why? Because I'm obsessed with validating my opinions like this

It's been said many times by many people now how there are a lot of times where fans end up writing completely out of character for the purpose of placing characters into positions of stereotypical familial structures- ESPECIALLY forcing women into the roles of motherhood where it doesnt fit or make sense for them to the point where I don't think I can really add anything substantial or important to the topic. The pros have very much said what needs to be said.

HOWEVER. I ALSO LIKE TO HAVE FUN WITH FUCKING CHARACTERS. I LIKE TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT TOPICS AND SITUATIONS WITH THEM. I WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO SHAMELESSLY ENJOY THEIR RIGHT TO INTERPRET CHARACTERS WHERE THEY THINK NESCECARY. WHERE THEY THINK FUCKING FUN!!!

So with that said, while demeaning female characters to singular sad and one dimensionsional traits of "Mother" is very clearly to me Not A Good Thing, people should stop acting like it's a fucking sin to imagine the possibility of a character having a child while still retaining all their accurate attributes, because it is a very possible thing that can be and IS done!!!!!

What are my thoughts on Undyne with all this?

Hehhaahehehaa....... strap in.

Where do I BEGIN. How about the inspirations behind the character of undyne herself.

Ok so see this wonderful lass here. That's a sculpture by Chauncey Ives of the mythical water spirit, Undine. Thinking about it, you all probably know this anyway because I do fairly often reblog Undine themed stuff too. Because I'm just like this. But how about the interesting stuff?

The original myth, created by Paracelsus, an alchemist and philosopher born in the 1400s, I believe comes from his work "A Book on Nymphs, Sylphs, Pygmies, and Salamanders, And Kindered Spirits". I think that's what it was called. I'm too tired to talk fully about it specifically and we need to get to the point so have a video of some guy reading it here

Yay :]

It's pretty much what it says. Paracelsus essentially believed that elemental beings (whom he had adapted and reimagined from ancient or traditional at the time sources) were simply part of the strangeness of God's natural creation and should be studied, as part of appreciation of the Bible etc. And we know ALL ABOUTTTTT utdr and its biblical links/imagery. But back to undine :]

Paracelsus named his takes on the classic concept of elementals: gnomes for earth (YES HE INVENTED THE WORD GNOME!!!!!), sylphs for air (yeah he also invented the word sylph), salamanders for fire (he didn't invent that :[), and of COURSE! UNDINES FOR WATER! He believed undines to be fairly similar to humans, a significant difference being the lack of a soul. Which surely means nothing when talking about Souls Are Important the Video Game. And anyways according to him they were apparently fairly capable of getting a soul through love. Wikipedia also says that Paracelsus says that a child from this love will too have a soul which is nice

Blablabla Wikipedia says undines are like fucking desperate to get a husband or whatever but dudeeeee she can do whatever she fucking wantssssss. I think she can and should be enjoying her life with alphys rather than it being a thing just for a living soul or whatever. They're just happy, no mythology attached

Onto the most iconic interpretation of the myth, 1811s Undine by Friedrich De La Motte Fouque. When you think of the tale of Undine it's almost always that it's this specific story you pull from. Apart from another one I'll briefly touch on later (please hope it's brief). In it, Undine is a woman adopted by a fisherman, who was taken in by the fisherman after his own child died. Hmmmmm wow hmm sort of like how asgore took in undyne after his children died HM BACK ON TOPIC. Personality-wise, Undine is described by Wikipedia (because I don't have the book) as "erratic", and "capricious", which Google dictionary describes as "given to sudden and unaccountable changes of mood or behaviour", which again sounds quite similar to the Undyne we all know and love.

It mentions that when married to Huldbrand (the main guy in the book he's not important tho) she is "kind and gentle" and yeah imo the writing with this IS kinda shit HOWEVER I think if were simply using this as inspiration for undyne I can definitely imagine her *eventually* becoming a calmer and more thoughtful person with A: the presence of someone like alphys to mutually love and understand her for her and B: the absence of having to worry about a war to fight and always sort of being on edge and just being. Like that. And again this would all be a *progressive experience*, rather than in the book where undine literally switches up over night. I do like to consider character and stuff

There's this line from the Wikipedia summary which jumpscared me

I 0% believe this has any significance to deltarune whatsoever however it was so funny out of context I had to add it

Another completely unrelated thing here but there's a fucking guy called "Kuhleborn" and I just. Can homestuck leave me alone. FOR FIVE MINUTES.

Sorry back to cherry picking the story to fit undyne.

Ok so truthfully I don't find anything else from that specific story that I find particularly helpful to undyne, the rest of it's kinda just useless to my point. Re-establishing the fact here that I skipped over a most of the actual significant parts of the story because I specificly want to talk about how I see it parallel to undyne. But that's it really. I just especially wanted to mention this adaptation of the story as it is pretty much the most iconic interpretation of the myth.

That is, interpretations that specifically refer to its source by name. Because by far the most well known media to draw influence from the myth of undine is the iconic Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, "The Little Mermaid". I don't have much to say on how the little mermaid does take much inspiration from undine, other than the way andersen himself interpreted the story. Simply, the fact that Hans Christian Andersen, a man who based this story off of his own feelings at the inability for another man to reciprocate feelings of romance for him, and resonated with the story of undine so much that it was a source of inspiration for the little mermaid itself is so crazy to me. Like. Here is a queer man who read the tale of Undine and understood it so much he wrote his own story inspired by it and made it tie in with his own experiences of homosexuality! Like that's so crazy to me! Because it just makes the undertale character of undyne being sapphic so much better to me! It took the sad story of gay tragedy and took it and made it a story of gay joy!!!!!!! We are all so happys forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok ummmm. I got carried away because we are steering very far away from what this post was originally about. Umm. Point is. Original story was of queer sadness but undertale is now of queer joy + the story of queer joy being based on story where being with this person who you really love and being truly and properly bonded in an undeniable and magical way is enough to give you a soul that will live forever. I think that's somewhere near the point I'm trying to make but at the same time it's not quite the point I was trying to make. And this is absolutely just one interpretation of one relationship and this is by no means in any way supposed to be the end all be all of what ANY relationship should be. I really don't think this is what the definition of love is. However for these characters I feel it can be a huge aspect of it for them

NOW FINALLY MOVING ON TO THE ACTUAL CHARACTER FROM UNDERTALE THANK FUCKING GOODNESS!!!!!

Oh undyne. With some of the implications in game that she lost her family, I very much imagine her being cautious with this sort of situation. Would she be able to handle is for example? Would she know what to do. Given its something she might not even have real first hand experience of, is it something she would even want to risk forcing upon another person? I think she struggles so much with responsibility as it is. She wants nothing more than to protect people and cheesus if she had a kid of her own you know she would be doing every single thing in her power to make sure that kid never has to face what she did. Undyne says at one point in game (if you kill her in neutral i believe) she never told alphys the way she felt because if/when she died in battle, she wouldn't want alphys to deal with that. And again, she really would not want to have a kid if she worries that one day that kid would have to worry about someone they truly care about not being with them anymore

So *would* she want them? I don't really think it would be an overwhelming innate desire or anything like that, but really not against it. Sged need a lot of time beforehand first. Some time to live her life to the fullest, time to make sure it's something she can handle without guilt, time to make sure it's something that does bring her joy. And then yeah, 6 or 7 years minimum I can see it happening. And I think it would be nice

"Now let's talk about susie, can we talk about susie? Please stun (and other readers) I've been dying to talk with you about susie all post, okay?" /ref

I don't really have anything to add I just think alphyne should adopt susie. In every timeline. Undertale deltarune I just think ok. Because she doesn't have a good home life to the point where she's like just Not Safe and hm young couple with no children in her area? Undyne would want to help her soooo bad because she understands just what it feels like to be young and alone not really cared for and she would NEED to fix it. That's defo how it is for undertale at LEAST. Idk entirely with dr if it'd be exactly like that cause we don't know what undynes got going down in dr yet.. but even so that's nothing to stop them

Anways yeah I think you mightve been waiting just a wee bit long for the answer to this ask I uhh.....m.....mmmm. yeah man I... yeah. I really do genuinely hope you enjoyed his tho cause uts currently quarter to 2 in the morning and I'm going on a train & to the aquarium tmrw so my ass CANNOT be waking up at 11 am again. Shits fucked. But when I tell you when I'm locked in on an undyne topic I AM LOCKED IN. IT TOOK A WHILE BUT I FINALLY DID IT. MORE THAN HALF OF THIS WAS WRITTEN WITH NO BREAKS OF CHECKS BUT THATS THE BEAUTY!!!!!! FLY MY SCARAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kendrysaneela]

Yes I fully agree. Mark’s issue is he avoids tough feelings and he’s an asshole to people when he gets upset. Mark S does similar behaviors. Mark Scout buried Gemma in the basement and then forgot her for 8 hours a day and Mark S buried Petey in the closet and tried to pretend he didn’t exist as well. Helly calls him out for it on her second day. And then he does the same with Irving. “He’s not dead he’s just not here” Mark Scout also forgets outside of work by drinking. Mark S forgets in work by just doing work thats why he went back to work during Irving’s funeral. Both Mark’s need to realize they can’t keep taking their issues out on other people and they cant keep avoiding everything.

oDylan I think has realized that his innie is a person who deserves consideration and that Dylan is the best version of himself and maybe he should take the lesson of self confidence and to appreciate his wife more.

Helena whether she was forced to sever or not has had to learn that innies are people that deserve autonomy and that have their own lives. And that, ironically. They have more of a life and maybe even more autonomy than she does. And I think she’s learning through Helly how to rebel again and how to actually push back against Lumon for her own autonomy. She’s not been successful yet but she’ll get there eventually.

Irving I don’t know…you could say on one hand he’s faced consequences by having to flee Kier but also at the same time he’s fleeing because of stuff he did on the outside would he have had to flee even before Irving B got him fired? Because of all the information he has on Lumon and them finding out he’s fighting against them? That’s the question.

I dont think they need consequences in a “they need to suffer” way more in a “You cant split your consciousness in half and create a new person and then pretend they don’t deserve autonomy or to live or have a life. You cant create a new person and then not treat them like a person. And understand once you split your body in half your body is shared. You can’t reintegrate without their consent or kill them without their consent etc etc. You cant create a person put them in a prison and be angry they ask for autonomy.”

And with Cobel and Millchick their thing is “You cant create a career out of dehumanizing people and then be surprised when youre dehumanized as well”

the thing about the takes concerning mark needing Consequences for severing is that you can't use that logic if you're not going to apply it to Every Single Character in the severance universe. mark severing because lumon staged his wife's death and manufactured his grief then sold him a quick-fix for it is like... pretty tame compared to all the other stuff the other characters do but no one ever wants to talk about the consequences they need to face. it's always "they were a victim" until it comes to my friend mark scout.

​I’m thinking again about Astarions sexuality and how I've seen some people (to be fair, just a few) talk about it. Mainly, people pointing out his flamboyant behavior, and that us as players are learning more about his past male lovers than female ones and basically all these things for some people pointing to him being gay or at least not interested in women in the same way he is in men. And him only being a romance option regardless of gender, because, well, all companions are and he is therefore just "playersexual", only showing interest in female player characters because he has to, because of the game mechanics.

I think what really rubs me the wrong way about this topic is that it echoes the kind of things bi/pan people (speaking as a bisexual woman myself) find themselves dealing with irl. Whether through some form of internalized biphobia or from the outside through other people's comments. Of course this is about a fictional character so it’s not like he has any feelings that could be hurt. But when i see people tallying up how often he mentions men vs. how often he mentions women it really reminds me of a way of thinking I sometimes fall into in regards to my own sexuality. This is definitely just an internalized response and not something I actually believe when I truly think about it for a second, but I know these patterns of thought very well. Of observing my own behavior. How often do I find which gender attractive? Am I attracted "enough" to women? Do I talk about men's attractiveness too often? Is it the other way around? Am I only saying this woman is attractive to prove something to myself? I literally have a girlfriend and my attitude towards mine or other's sexual orientation is generally a huge big "whatever, I don't care". And I still have a passing thought like that from time to time.

So seeing people talk about a fictional character in this way really sends home how many people (whether consciously or unconsciously) see attraction as some sort of equation, you can solve, where in the end you get a result of either gay or straight.

Actually, I know exactly how they found me.

I love my heritage because multiple times now, when I've told someone my mother is from brazil and my father is from florida (and I myself was born in florida before being raised in texas) I have gotten a slow look up and down and some general comment about how "that makes perfect sense" / "that explains a few things"

This brings me immense joy as I am apparently doing the stereotypes of my people justice, I guess

Holy shit OK you might be on something OK so a big thing I’m thinking about is how Jame didnt become CEO until Helena was 10 or 11 years old. Pip then Leonora were CEOs before then which is interesting. And then we definitely know at this point in time, that Helena is afraid of her father we see that in her interactions with him, we see that and we know that there were certain things of her childhood that like Helena of gave Jame trouble on if we take Helena‘s word for it at the gala like she didn’t like saying the nine principles, but then we also have the fact that Jame brought home the severance chip to her and she said it’s so pretty daddy. Everybody in the world should have one which is like an admiration seemingly. I’m also thinking of how Helena lives with her father which does not seem normal for Lumon. Every other Lumon person lives alone like Miss Huang had her bed moved out of her parents house to another country. She’s like 15 and Cobel has whats seemingly her childhood bed and she lives by herself as well. Her mother is dead, but her mom died when she was at school and her aunt lives back in Salt Lick (I think that’s what it was called) so they live by themselves, but Helena does not and so I kind of have this idea that maybe Helena is like a fuck up like what if she did try when she was younger like she did try to help Lumon and she tried incorrectly and just kind of kept fucking shit up and then when they were trying to fix that and make it so that she wasn’t wouldn’t fuck shit up anymore, they treated her so terribly and abused her in such a horrific manner that they created her rebellion essentially. Because maybe because like she was on board at first and she was really excited and she really wanted to help and get her father’s approval. Like this could still have happened at like a young age or like preteen and that’s still how we could get rebellious child Helena. And that’s also why she doesn’t live by herself and why they don’t really give her big tasks to do because when she was younger, she just kind of fucked them up and then maybe she started being rebellious because of that bjt she was rebellious in the wrong way maybe. Like maybe she starting messing stuff up on purpose after a while. Because we know that she does have a rebellious spirit because of Helly. But Helly started rebellious because of Helena’s already existing inner rebelllion. She just starts out that way. And maybe they had Helena hide her rebellion because she was STILL being rebellious incorrectly somehow so they tried to fix it again but instead made her hide her rebellion dee inside. I’m thinking about Natalie and how when Helly switched over to Helena. Natalie immediately noticed something was off, and her first question was not like. Are you OK? What’s going on? Her first question was essentially asking was saying how many of those (glasses of champagne) have you had she was asking if she was drunk so I’m wondering Did Helena have a drinking problem in the past? Did she show up to certain events drunk as basically a way to cope?Is that another way she fucked up? I also don’t think Helena has completely lost her rebellion, it’s still there she just has to be subtle about it now. Though it’s gotten less subtle with Helly rubbing off on her. My examples of possible subtle Helena rebellion are as follows

1. Arm rash. She was wearing a sleeveless dress where you could see her arms. I wonder if she chose that on purpose because she knew some people might remember her arms and that there was no rash

2. Every time Helena has spout Lumon bullshit she grimaces slightly (gets more obvious as time goes on)

3. The egg scene when she puts down her fork after her father essentially scolds her cause the eggs aren’t raw. She smiles as he walks away.

4. Her talking back and saying she’s not going back down feels like a big one and seems to surprise Natalie.

5. Laughing at the Kier story obviously. Though I dont know if that was on purpose rebellion to me it seemed like she actually did try to keep her laughter in but she couldn’t so I think the ridiculousness of her family’s lore more hit her at that moment and she decided to just let it out cause she wasn’t Helena at that moment

so does nobody wanna talk baby helena............ 👉👈

Could you explain your position on Shallura? Since Allura was established as a teenager when she started dating Lance and Shiro was very clearly an adult. I can understand the bi shiro headcannon but the shallura thing worries me

i am going to remind yall that i have been in this fandom since 2016. and in the early seasons, allura was not established as a teenager. in fact she was coded as older, as closer to shiro's age -- there was a specific divide between her and the younger paladins that she did not have with shiro. they made her younger (both explicitly and in mannerisms) as the show went on. and i do not give a fuck about voltron like...post s4 and i didn't even watch s7-8. so like. especially with older fics, im going to enjoy shallura.

I want Derap to steal Ro from the sticklers as his back up plan teammate

LMFAO???? i can fw that, it could be interesting but if its bc he thinks zam will betray him or smt then ro is such a funny secondary option bc zam is one of ro's most favouritest people on the server. and like. even w zam and ro being good friends aside, isnt one of the biggest issues in zam and derap's relationship derap's insecurity over devotions? if he wants a teammate who Isnt obsessed w mapicc then going from zam to ro is like saying "i hate citrus fruits. im gonna eat this lime instead of this lemon!" 😭😭😭
