#But I wanted to put out what I had now bc why not

[bonus-links]

Hello! Could we have a director’s commentary on Ruins pt.11 please?? It drives me insane 🥺🥺

YEAHHH this is gonna be a long one. link to the update

this is also one of my favorite updates (and 100% my favorite dialogue in all of ch.1, possibly the whole comic so far) but I'm glad I waited to do a commentary bc I think this is actually really relevant to the latest update

cause like the conversation Loft has with botw Zelda here is very similar to the one he has with Ganondorf, though he's much less snippy during it

I wanted to give Zelda a chance to be bitter and share her grievances with the gods. Her entire story in BOTW is largely about how the legends and the expectations put upon her by them fail not only her personally but the entire kingdom. And yet she's made to feel like it's all her fault.

A lot of his comic focuses on the legacy of the Hero, but I don't want to leave Zelda (or Ganondorf) out of the conversation. The cycle makes victims of all three of them in various ways, and while I can't do everything at once, it's still my goal to explore that. The Zeldas in particular are all in interesting positions as members of the Royal Family, because they're at once always thrown in peril by it with little agency, and expected to be the facilitators of its success as the people with the closest proximity to the gods. Much to think about.

on that note BOTW Zelda is my favorite Zelda. she is my babygirl. she is my everything. I will die a BOTW Zelda defender. we haven't seen the last of her in this comic i promise :-)

okay on to actually analyzing the comic. This top panel is framed like a diptych, two paintings hinged together. these are often (though not always) associated with religious paintings and are often altarpieces. I use a triptych format in the newest update :D sidenote I think it's very cute that some of the Hylia statues in BOTW have been decorated, so i gave her a little flower crown

I imagine praying starts to feel a little strange when you are dating ur god. yeah. Also I think it's interesting that Skyloft seems to mainly worship Hylia, with the other gods being more distant. It makes sense given the whole "she personally raised us up into the sky to save us all" thing. Even though Loft is the very first hero sent on a personal religious quest directly by his goddess, I've always imagined him as kind of,,,,casually devout? In that way that it's all you've ever known. Like obviously his beliefs are deeply ingrained, but he's not as into the formality of it all as other Links we might meet later.

I think about Zelda in that freezing pool on Mt. Lanayru all the time. RAHHHHHHH

I've posted this before but close up of Slate running their errands, the errand being talking to the Great Fairies about if they've noticed anything weird going on lol. I actually wanted to make it a whole update on its own, but I cut it for time and also because. I don't think the Great Fairies really have any information that was necessary other than "no I don't know what's going on". So u get this panel.

I like this shot of that little statue towering over the both of them, and I mimic it a little bit in the new update here. something something about why we build monuments and what they stand for.

negative sim interaction

Loft still has to believe that Zelda and Slate's negative experiences had to have been some sort of misunderstanding. If Hylia could have helped, she would have. Knowing and loving your goddess on a human level also makes you want to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I actually really love that in BOTW Zelda resents Link for having some sort of access to the divine that she just can't reach. She has her arc about it in the game, but especially now she's come to understand that having the gods' favor is a double-edged sword. Also, that's not really meant to be Peony, but I like the idea that Champion also had an affinity for fairies. :-( Intentionally the same pose as Slate at the fairy fountain, though Slate is so tiny I probably didn't need to bother lol

that was a lot of rambling lol but i have. so many thoughts abt the subject matter of this update. this is the shit about LOZ that makes me froth at the mouth tbh

The One with the Confession by fortunatelypancakes @fortunately-pancakes (Teen and Up, 8k)

Chuuya snorts. “Do ya always get so fuckin’ philosophical on first dates?” “Usually they end as soon as I propose a lover’s suicide,” Dazai says, breezy yet suddenly dark, giving Chuuya the jarring feeling of having wandered into the woods only to realize night has fallen and he’s lost. “To the waitress or the date?” he asks dryly. Dazai looks up from his mess on the table and smirks. "Sometimes both.” (about an hour later) From its place on the coffee table, Yosano’s phone vibrates and lights up with three new notifications. Dazai: helloooo~ Dazai: I’m sure your valentines is going ~wonderfully~ 😘😘😘 but pls spare a moment for your tragically single best friend and send me Chuuya’s number???? Dazai: I seem to have misplaced him 😵 “Uh oh. One of the boys texted me,” she calls out to Kouyou. Yosano’s phone buzzes again. Chuuya: I am NEVER going on a date ever again Chuuya: What the fuck made you think I’d get along with him??? Chuuya: He’s the worst person I’ve ever met Chuuya: No offense. I know he’s your friend

Stupidly, Tragically, I Really Do Love You by timeflowpetals (Teen and Up, 5k)

Chuuya and Dazai are married. But why is Chuuya currently smashing his husband’s head against a doorframe? And… is that Dazai poisoning his tea? Worried about his mentor’s love life, Atsushi launches Operation: PTDODB (Prevent the Divorce of Double Black) and drags a reluctant Akutagawa along for the ride. Their mission? Convince Chuuya that Dazai isn’t that bad of a catch. If only they had realized before spending an absurd amount of money that Double Black’s true love language is sheer, unfiltered chaos.

I Won’t Leave You (Again) by deviance @ao3-deviance (Teen and Up, 15k)

"Executive Kouyou, we've been informed that you are planning a coup." Before the signal could be given, there was a large explosion and many men were blown from their feet as something like a black hole went tearing through them all. Kouyou could recognize the gravitons of her own pupil; she just wished it hadn't come to this. The men scattered, but Corruption was beyond anything a human could defeat. Kouyou watched from afar as Chuuya's body cackled while taking down men he'd mostly likely led in missions recently, taken to bars, worried over. "I hope you're worth it." Kouyou didn't startle at the voice behind her. "Isn't that for the lad to decide?" "You know how this will affect him," Dazai accused her, and she couldn't see a glimpse of the light in his eyes. "He didn't want to be conscious when he fought them." "Not going to leave him again?" "There is no leaving him again," Dazai denied. ….. (Chuuya leaves the PM to save Kouyou, then joins the ADA so he can stay in Yokohama)

Hold Me Close This Dreary Night by ay_masakali @ay-masakali (General, 5k)

“I’m not singin’ for the likes of you,” Chuuya answers anyway, “And settle down, you’re gonna aggravate your injuries.” “You’re gonna aggravate your injuries,” Dazai mocks, with the poorest imitation of his accent he’s ever heard. “How ‘bout I aggravate you.” mafioso has to bite his lips to prevent more laughter, “You really don’t hear a word you’re saying, do you?” A mission with Dazai is always bound to be an eventful one, so it’s no surprise when the man ends up injured and unconscious on a rookie level job. Now it’s Chuuya’s responsibility to look after him until backup arrives, and strangely, he doesn’t want to punch Dazai’s brains out.

That’s One Way To Start Your Morning by Chaos_Ensues (Explicit, 3k)

Dazai takes a moment to appreciate the muscles in Chuuya’s back and shoulders—it’s not as big as Dazai’s, Chuuya is more on the lean side—but they’re still noticeable. He can watch them contract with every small breath that Chuuya makes, his freckles covering the expanse of his back. There are many ways Dazai can go about this—the different positions to put Chuuya in— But that requires moving the omega around. And Dazai doesn’t want to wake Chuuya up. Not yet. Or: Dazai fucks Chuuya while he sleeps (with previously established consent of course) and wakes Chuuya up with a knot.

A Claim On Your Name by Nyx_xy (Teen and Up, 4k)

Chuuya raises an eyebrow, before offering a hapless shrug. "Very well. Then, how about operation Mouse and Stampede?" Kunikida blinks. Chuuya blinks back. "What?" "…what?" The detective frowns. "What did you just say?" "Mouse and Stampede? You know?" Or Chuuya and Kunikida end up on a mission together, and Chuuya decides to make Kunikida a guide on being Dazai's partner. Dazai doesn't approve.

Stay by the_most_happy (Mature, 23k)

“Oi, Dazai, what are they saying, anyway? Too many people. It gets confusing.” The detective smirks. “They are just discussing the budget for the next mission. Kunikida insists he wants an ice cream, a drone, and a goat.” From the Port Mafia dungeon to the depths of Meursault, Dazai and Chuuya keep finding each other. They fall in love all over again — or, maybe, they never stopped. That’s all.

Confessions of Inconvenience by chuuyasporkie @chuuyasporkie (Mature, 8k)

Dazai swallows hard. “You think I’m beautiful?” Chuuya smiles, nonchalant. But really, he’s very chalant—give him a break, he needs to maintain his reputation. “I think you’re one of the most beautiful people in the world.” Dazai is avoiding his eyes. “You don’t know what you’re saying.” “You are,” Chuuya reiterates softly. “Very beautiful.” Dazai looks up at him. “I hate to interrupt,” he says blandly. “But have you maybe ever looked into a mirror?” Chuuya blinks, more than a little confused for a moment, but when it finally clicks, he bursts into loud laughter. “Shut up,” he says. Four times Chuuya drunkenly confesses to Dazai and forgets all about it, and one time he’s too sober to run from it. Or: Chuuya keeps confessing and forgetting. Dazai is sick of pretending like nothing’s been happening. A sweet fic—may cause cavities.

Home is where You are by carlynagisa @carlynagisa (Mature, 13/13, 60k)

On the day Dazai Osamu was supposed to die, his attempt to finally end it all was harshly interrupted by a call of his former best friend who he had not spoken to in years. A former best friend with a son Dazai had not known of. And he had a request that might derail Dazai's plans more than he had initially thought. Or: the fic where Dazai learns the hard way that family is what you make it.

picking a flower that blooms on the heart for you by burgundytshirt (Mature, 9/9, 44k)

The question is obvious at this point. To die, or to ask Dazai for help? Chuuya is so choked by this question that his breakfast is lodged in his throat, unable to be swallowed. (Or, Chuuya would much rather die than let Dazai find out he has hanahaki disease.)

I threw away this human form of mine by love_island (Mature, 22/22, 118k)

Dazai was facing away from the door, so he couldn’t see his new roommate, but Ango could, and his face went pale. That, coupled with the excessively aggressive entrance, told Dazai enough to know who it was. Dazai sighed loftily and turned around slowly. “Hey there, shrimp,” he drawled. “You lost, or am I actually stuck with you?” Motorcycle Guy dropped the two duffel bags he was holding. Dazai watched his face as it morphed from confusion, to recognition, and finally to anger. “You!”

i’ll follow the line that connects us two by lunarumbra (Teen and Up, 3/3, 23k)

Dazai learns a total of three things about Chuuya when they unexpectedly bump into each other after years of radio silence. One, his hair has grown considerably longer. Two, he moved here to Yokohama because of his new job. And three, his kid is an absolute menace.

Conscious Uncoupling by zinniapetals (Mature, 6/6, 66k)

“I’ll only say this once, so listen up,” Chuuya announced, stepping closer until his chest pressed against the box in Dazai’s hands. He tilted his head to meet Dazai’s eyes, his lips firm with determination. “This…saving people thing? It suits you. I don’t hate the fact that you made it out alive.” Dazai blinked in response, blinking again when the spots in his eyes didn’t disappear and neither did Chuuya. He stared silently, unsure of what to say, whether he was allowed to joke, be angry, feel hurt, or assume this was the end of an era.

Easy in Theory by the_most_happy (Mature, 14/14, 126k)

"When we're older, I'm going to marry 'Samu. I promise. I swear." If someone had told Dazai he would be fake dating the sister of one Nakahara Chuuya - his childhood best friend, current housemate and first love - he would have called them crazy. There's just no way. Alas, that’s exactly what he’s doing. Or: Chuuya's unofficial guide on how to stay (almost) sane when your childhood crush is dating your sister.

Shades of Red by Kirb8_woo (Mature, 42/45, 416k)

Nakahara Chuuya, an Omega with a bad temper, finds a job as the assistant for Dazai Osamu, the CEO of the Mori Corporation. Chuuya wants to start on a good foot but the alpha’s cold exterior and rumored dislike for Omegas is definitely not helping…

No Cock-Ups, Only Happy Accidents by Fenriel (Explicit, 10/10, 60k)

Going out and getting drunk with friends is all great and fun - until you wake up in a foreign bed with no memory of how you got there. And if a question pesters your mind, you want answers. What better method is there, than to try and see if the memories come back? Which is exactly what happens to Chuuya, who wakes up next to the most insufferable guy alive; Dazai. But what makes it worse is that neither can recall what happened last night, evidence speaking for and against the fact that they've had sex.

If you kiss me (I might let it happen) by encsiimomo (Explicit, 7/7, 52k)

“Hey, shitty Dazai, let’s go out.” Dazai, who started to walk again after composing himself from their almost crash, stumbled a bit on his next step while his head snapped in Chuuya’s direction with an alarming crack. He regarded Chuuya with one curious eye, then he chuckled. “Don’t be silly chibi, we are already outside. Your tacky hat is clearly eating your bra–” Chuuya’s irritation flared anew. From the corner of his eye, he could clearly see the two figures coming closer and closer, and he knew he had only mere seconds until the inevitable would happen. “No, you fucker. I meant, go out with me,” Chuuya pressed on, throwing all his pride and dignity out of the window, then he gulped around the dry cotton suddenly clogging up his throat before he uttered his next words. “As in, date me for the week.” Or: DarkEra!Skk and their seven days of dating, mixed with Chuuya's obliviousness, idiots in love, and a fair amount of smut. Oh, and Odasaku ships skk in this one.

I’d Adore You (With Your Hands Around My Neck) by chuuyasporkie @chuuyasporkie (Teen and Up, 16/16, 123k)

In which Chuuya loved too early and longer, and Dazai loved too late but deeper. Or, Dazai and Chuuya find out they’re mates, Dazai is bad at feelings, Chuuya has had enough, and somewhere in the middle they fall in love, but not necessarily in that order.

Touch by borntoshine (Explicit, 13/13, 68k)

Omega!Chuuya lies for over a year about his second gender, but when he stupidly forgets to order his suppressants, things start to get out of hand, and sharing a room with Dazai, his Alpha roommate, gets a very unexpected twist.

If I had a world of my own (everything would be nonsense) by encsiimomo (Explicit, 2/2, 17k)

Chuuya felt divine in his arms. The memory of his captivating scent made his mouth water and his still semi-hard dick fill with arousal, and even more than that, his ex-partner tasted like– Dazai’s eyes widened comically as his brain finally caught up to what just transpired between them only minutes ago. He turned around sharply, gaze settling onto Chuuya as if the redhead’s pull of gravity suddenly gained ownership of his every move, but his mind just couldn’t process the sight in front of him. “Chuuya?” Dazai asked in such a low voice it came out as nothing but a mere whisper, and Chuuya let out a whimper at hearing his name roll off of Dazai's tongue like that. The tiny sound tasted like distress in the thick air separating them. Or: a mission goes wrong and Dazai finds out the hard way that his ex-partner presented as omega after he defected from the PM.

No Long Human by Wolf___Spirit (Mature, 21/21, 130k)

“Jesus Christ, Chuuya is going to kill this idiot for worrying him like this, for being a suicidal maniac who decided to put himself in the damn trajectory of a machine that they don't even know all the effects of yet.” When a stranger starts stealing people's abilities, the ADA and the Port Mafia team up to figure it out. However, something goes wrong and Dazai loses his ability in the process. The big problem? His ability not only nullified the abilities of others, but also his own emotions. And now, for the first time in his life, Dazai has emotions, chaotic and in turmoil. In the midst of this identity crisis, Dazai sets out to explore the world with Chuuya as his grumpy bodyguard, only to discover that he has never felt so...alive. And then they find out that if they don't find a way to give him back his ability, Dazai will die within two weeks. In a race against time, chaos ensues.

“You refused to take the mandatory swim test,” Mori said suddenly. Chuuya lifted his head up at the sudden topic change. “Are you afraid of water, Chuuya-kun?” Chuuya didn’t like where this was going. “No, sir.” A small ‘ah’ of understanding left Mori’s mouth. “So just afraid of being submerged then?” His heart skipped a beat. “N-no, Mori-san.” Mori chuckled. It felt like a death sentence. “Don’t lie to me, Chuuya-kun.” OR Mori knows Chuuya's worst fears and uses them as punishment.

Every year, a handful of children are born with the ability to command supernatural powers. Thousands of dollars and dozens of trained specialists are tasked with identifying, tracking down, and labeling each one as Deviant. Once identified, they have no rights other than those that are permitted to them, and disobedience is a crime punishable by death. Chuuya has never known a life outside of the routine he's forced to follow, but when the boss of Yokohama's Port Mafia offers him a chance of freedom, Chuuya is not prepared for the rebellion he's stumbling into.

Incorruptible by Decadee (Mature, 10/10, 82k)

After the fight with Lovecraft, Dazai had left Chuuya behind. He didn't expect Chuuya to go missing. He didn't expect his entire world would shift once the redhead did. In the meantime, stuck in a place he thought he would never return to, Chuuya is just trying to stay alive. --- This is a canon-divergent take not only on what happened after the fight against Lovecraft, but as I have only seen the anime, this is a very canon-divergent take on Chuuya's past.

The (Un)Lucky Ones by songofthesheep (Mature, 31/31, 114k)

“Who knew children were so strong these days?” Dazai grumbled, but that sucked Chuuya back into reality. Okay. Yeah, hell no. No one made fun of his height. “Who the hell are you calling a child, asshole?” Chuuya bit back, furrowing his eyebrows and crossing his arms. “I’m twenty-two, for your information.” “Ah, I didn’t think a grown man could be so short! The more you know!” he smiled brightly, but Chuuya felt the tease in it. Who did this guy think he was? “Fuck off,” Chuuya glared at him for a second but then decided to walk away before he picked a fight with someone at a callback. That wouldn’t look very good to the director. But if there is a god out there, it must hate Chuuya because the freakishly tall actor decided to follow behind Chuuya, chatting as if he wasn’t just cussed at, “You know, I’m sure it’s not too late for a growth spurt! If you drink more milk, you never know what could-” The ‘I’m not gonna punch someone’ plan failed. --- Nakahara Chuuya auditions for a movie. Dazai Osamu is a world famous actor. What could possibly go wrong?

cracking locks by clustersorrow (Mature, 10/10, 59k)

Chuuya isn’t allowed to step outside unless it’s for work, and much less to spend time with anyone who isn’t his boyfriend. It’s a monotonous routine, but he doesn’t mind it. Until he meets Dazai, and suddenly his cage isn’t as comfortable anymore.

“What do I think?” He asks lightly. “Yeah,” Dazai leans back a bit and presses a socked foot into Chuuya’s hip. “Don’t you wanna fuck me, Chuuya?” It’s asked innocently. It feels like jabbing a finger into an open wound. Chuuya blows his smoke to the ceiling despite Dazai tilting forward and opening his mouth. Dazai makes a little tcht sound at him. “You want to fuck me?” Chuuya asks. Dazai doesn’t drop his eyes. “I trust you.” He repeats. Chuuya had asked Dazai once how many times he thought you could break a person before they stopped trying to put themselves back together, stopped trying to pick up the pieces and left themselves shattered. Depends how cruel you are, Dazai had answered after a long moment, you can still break pieces. Chuuya is pieces and his edges are sharp.

Five times Double Black make a bet, and the one time neither of them lose by nyxi-pixie @nyxi-pixie (Explicit, 3/6, 17k)

And then, expression betraying how far well too pleased with himself he is, “You feeling like you’re losing, shitty Dazai?” “I’m not losing anything,” Dazai responds, a little more sharp than he means. He’s supposed to be sounding unbothered because Chuuya’s arguments aren’t worth attending to. Annoying little slug. “You’re the one wearing my collar.” “And who’s the one desperately barking for my attention? Didn’t think this one through at all, did ya?” “We’ll see.” Or, a bet is a sacred sort of thing within the Double Black partnership, and worth following through all its many varying contexts, stupid and ridiculous or otherwise.

hi berri! i wanted to ask what you think sylus and mc's first meeting would have been like if mc had recognized him?

would it be okay to ask if you'd mind doing a little drabble about that scenario? thanks for reading and thank you for your time :)

hi!! ik you requested a drabble but honestly he main reason why i dont do drabbles on request is bc i will sit here for a gazlillion hours and just not write it bc ive actually been fighting a writing slump for the better part of like, two years [sob] its why longer fics and stuff are so rare for me and im very sorry about that so i hope you take this offering but also uhhh this isnt phrased in a way that id write it as a request bc it seems more like youre asking ME and also uhh im rambling now

with the way that i want to approach this i honestly. would have to rewrite the entire scene bc just a short drabble >1k words wouldnt establish all the context i think would be needed to go into the depth thats required for the ramifications of rmring sylus + i dont acc know much of his myth outside the general stuff and honestly i dont intend to lean more actively + writing smth that long will never ever be finished by me bc ya to me it'd be a full fledged oneshot/fic but i dont do fics ever unless a concept grabs me by the BALLS

what i DO think would happen would be you'd skip a lot of that early push and pull.

honestly from what ive noticed in the story / the other interps ive seen other people take i think deadass sylus would be like, a week out from putting a metaphorical ring on your finger. i think things would just sorta like?? pick up where he thinks you two left off and hed basically sorta "expect" you (in the kindest way) to be okay with dropping everything to be at his side in the sense that fron the outside looking in, it's crazy to move in with a guy you met an hour ago but he sorta things that youd just be that comfortable with him right away and not really consider that you currently have a life in this world. his goal is essentially to find you again so like. when he does find you again in his head hes completed it and now its just time to enjoy being together!!

i saw someone say that sylus conquering the n109 zone is to fulfill a promise that was made in his myths and while i dont know mmuch about it to go into detail the parts i do understand i can see where its coming from which is why i think that remembering him basically gets you swept up into this whirlwiind romance and you do a bunch of domestic stuff and just like?? are with eaech other in every way that matters bc theres this mutal yearning/pining thats transcended time/reality so to me its not just him, but with any of the LIs that if you rmr him things would speed up 1000% esp since oyu also have the context of the previous "relationship"

[kairithemang0]

Saf swap aus and why they're the bane of my existence... or something (and what i'd do if I made one. bcs it's very very different to saf proper and that's why I wouldn't really call it one SORRY THIS IS GONNA BE LONG PLS READ IT THO I WORKED HARD)

I don't really know how to describe it. Hopefully this makes sense.

More of, I dislike swap aus because I do not think that Curt would become any time of DMA, nor would Owen leave being a spy once Curt was presumed dead

And also

OWEN WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS LEAVE CURT THE WAY CURT LEFT HIM!!

Owen would rather die than do that. Curt mattered so much to him, if Curt slipped, there's no way only one of them was making it out alive. If it was anyone, it'd be Curt, because he would sacrifice himself for Curt to live.

At one point, I believe, that Owen stopped caring about missions that had anything to do with Curt. He did not care for his government, he understood that it was bullshit. Which is very different to Curt, who very clearly cares for those he works with, despite them being awful.

Owen understands that MI6 cares for him because he is a good spy, and that if they found out that he was gay, he would not matter at all. Curt may realize this with ASS, yes, however I don't believe he fully grasps it the way Owen does, or doesn't care as much. Curt still does his job because he wants to help his country, Owen does it because he simply has to.

So, therefore, if Owen left Curt, in the 0.333% percent chance that happens, and Curt survives, I do not think he'd take it as a personal attack the way Owen does. Curt rationalized him leaving Owen because it was what he was supposed to do as a spy, he needed to leave Owen to save himself. He'd likely come to this conclusion if he was left for dead by Owen, despite it hurting.

If Curt were to then be captured by Russians (which to me is what happened to Owen), and then found and rescued by Chimera, and nursed back to health, I also do not think Curt would go along with their idea. He says that the idea of some type of archival system bores him, that he has no interest in it. I'm unsure if Chimera would know this about him and therefore give him another reason to go along with them (since I doubt they just have the archival mission, but many). Even then, I doubt he'd ever become some type of DMA figure, or that he would ever rise through the ranks the way Owen did. I doubt Curt would want to go behind the backs of his country either, and certainly not if they're working with Russians or Nazi's. He values the US too much, and especially in a cold war era, I don't think he'd be able to put his nations pride aside for something that I don't think he'd care much for.

And Owen. Well jesus Owen would never stop working after Curt possibly died. Owen would work his ass off because now that's all he has. If he was going to escape his agency, it would have been with Curt. He will never find someone like Curt and certainly couldn't run off if it wasn't with him. Owen would rather prefer to work himself to the bone than never take any breaks again, likely working until he dies. I think his performance in missions would diminish, but he'd get them done. It'd be clear that he's ruining himself, however how much would MI6 care? I'm not sure

Anywho. If there's any type of saf swap au, it would be some type of "Owen somehow for some reason leaves curt for dead, curt leaves chimera right after they heal him (whether he needs to sneak out or not), he finds Owen who's probably trying not to bash his head into a wall, punches him in the face for leaving him, before never letting him go and they go into the woods and have a gay wedding but not legally married thing" or something.

A healthy Leonard

For funsies I’d say he’s a liver chestnut Arabian since his model has a bit of a dished face and it’s the closest real world color approximation I can think of off the top of my head. Actual horse for comparison:

Was gonna design him some armor since in-game he just has the saddle and the chanfron but I got lazy so this is what I’ve got at least for now

But at least here’s he’s got his cute little button knots

Also plaited his tail so it would resemble a lion’s

hehe ghost-turbo haunting felix au

turbo is connected to the last piece of his code in the whole arcade - a trophy he gifted to felix in mid 80s as a symbol of him genuinely caring about their relationships on par with being the best racer. felix also gave him one of his medals and both kept their gifts next to other rewards, but when roadblasters and turbotime were unplugged, the medal was gone with everything else

now, after burning in cola-lava turbo is basically dead, but scraps of his code still were intertwined with the trophy (after all, it was his first winner's cup, but felix never knew about it), giving turbo an opportunity to exist as a shadow incapable of interacting with anything and anyone besides felix, who kept the trophy even after the roadblasters incident

also I went crazy in tags, feel free to check them out

as someone that’s currently a sophomore in college that attends through federal parent plus loans and scholarships money from my school (and has family that’s on federal assistance programs)…. this is very scary guys. and super fucking illegal. i expect a bunch of lawsuits to result from this because he literally can not do this. with that said, where’s the anything but dems coalition at? are we as upset about this as we were about the tikTok ban or? 🌚

****edit**** see what people say when they don’t have a response back to you pointing out a fact that shakes their bigoted brains LMAO

I genuinely love not having a crush like I’m not over here feeling physically sick over some mid guy being dry to me I’m literally chilling

the company i work for decided that its switching from the german formal "You"(Sie) to the informal "you" (Du) in all of our websites so now we have to scour the entire database to change it and i quite frankly hate that, not just bc the unecessary extra work but especially bc its such a weird and unecessary change

i bet its bc everything here is getting englishfied (both literally and culturally it feels like, when my new boss talks its half in english bc every second german word is just replaced by an english one despite there being perfectly fine words for it in german too, its so annoying) and bc they want to sound more personal in hopes of getting more clients bc 'company is your fwiend uwu!!', i know this here is the amercian tm site so you wouldnt understand really but i do not want to be greeted with 'du' by companies, no, thats too personal, you dont know me and im not giving you my data, stay away!!

i guess thats how i would describe it .. the formal you is like a polite distance, like someone you dont know staying outside your personal space, but when its the informal 'you' it feels invasive unless i told you you can call me that, and that goes double for companies

maybe its a small thing that doesnt seem important but i cant stand it, im just a little part time worker doing data work so i got no say in it but the companies founder also announced hes giving his post to his kids some time ago so ...... since then theres been alot of changes and new projects that solely aim to imitate whats popular and whats done by other companies, despite ours being one that is, or used to be, intentionally different, like, that was the POINT, but i guess chasing trends is just too appealing for CEOs

how do i tell my roommate that her cat repeatedly pissing on and destroying my things is something that people usually offer to clean or replace or apologize for instead of shrugging off

how do i turn qantoine’s spontaneous marriage proposal to qetoiles into evidence of his early-days fear of qfrench drifing away and keeping secrets from one another

Im going to be completely frank with you all... and admit that I read these options and wasn't sure how to take this chart,,, so uh. Under the cut is Another Version. I'd apologize but I've given you the option to keep scrolling ¯\_(･･)_/¯

(If you notice characters missing on Kim's side, I probably figured she doesn't know who they are lol)

For the record,,, if they *wanted* me to pull their hair-- *is shot several times before I can continue*

Uhh Matthew is here because I have been converted fully on he/him or enby lesbian Matthew I think. He lives in my brain rent free now, very gender. I'd pull his hair but also I think he mostly just deserves to have it played with nicely.

And Scott's here because 1) I enjoy trans Scott, 2) Kim Pine Brain Rot possibly, 3) idk he's like,, the exception. God damnit, I've fallen for the inexplicable Scott Pilgrim Effect. What the fuck--

I did think about doing this chart like everyone was actually applicable to my tastes, but even if they were I think the ones I didn't put up would have to fall on the caress side bc I just don't feel that way abt them lol.

Again, not to say that's the case for the gals over on that side,,, I just think I would want to be gentle w them shxkdjsdhbd with the exception for Lynette who probably deserves to have her hair pulled, but again I fear she would Hurt Me,,, but maybe in a fun way,,,

Anyway No One Look At Me....

(,, also,,, Ramona is so far over bc I think she would enjoy it,, otherwise she'd be closer to Kim in that section. Same thing w Roxie)

If anyone actually looks at this version, I'm not opposed to doing a version like this for Kim btw! Just ask for it so I feel like I'm not just Dropping This and scurrying away
