#HOLY FUCK THIS WAS LONG MY BAD

[way2gosuperrstarr]

If I get any details wrong while asking questions, feel free to correct me!

• Is SDGO featuring your OCs, a self instert, or a Reader-Insert? (Or all three)!

• Moon seems to initially be quite timid. Is this due to him worried about scaring the kids or is a multi-faceted issue?

• Who falls for who first? 👀 Also, fast burn or slow burn?

-- while i do draw a self insert when drawing pieces and stuff for sdgo, the variation named monday, i do intend for this au to be reader/self insertable for others as well !!! meaning that 1) if anyone wants to draw anything, they would feel comfortable drawing themself in monday/yn's place, and 2) if i wrote it, it would be in a 2nd person "you"! if that makes any sense,,,

basically, it is technically a "yn" au, however i just draw my own self insert variation in most things i doodle instead of a blank yn :)! makes it funner(funner?) for me to draw stuff! yn also has a lot of aspects of myself in them even as the "blank" version. if i ever wrote it they would absolutely still have glasses, for example. as well as when i draw the blank version; they still have glasses and i still draw them w knee braces.

and i do insert a couple ocs here and there, just to fill in some side roles, like interviewers and minor role coworkers, and help the world not feel so empty, if that makes sense?

so i suppose all three? haha

-- he is indeed worried about scaring the children in this "new role". i like to think he wouldve been quite confident on stage during the theatre; he and sun had a great acting routine going, sun in the spotlight as the hero and moon the "villian" or misguided other, who was aways either vanquished or redeemed in the end. moon didn't really care what the "others"/audience thought of him, as long as he had sun as his friend, and some of the other animatronics. funny enough, i think, being switched to the daycare brings on a wave of "stage fright" that moon is absolutely not used to dealing with. he's used to beign quite comfortable and confident in his role, and maybe he didn't notice how much time he spent in the shadows and "hiding" behind sun until he's expected to be doing something actually, personally, interacting the "other" on his own. and a lot of his and sun's theatre habits leak through into the childcare programming. which means, moon is a tiny bit 'scary' to the kids at first. he still acts a little 'creepy', he's still crouched low to the ground and giggling and doing this silly little shrimp walk and contortions while walking toward these children. it scares them a little! his whole stress thing sort of manifest as a timid sort of odd behavior.

he's more used to sun handling interacting with the other.

-- honestly ...,,, great question. i was thinking the dca ,, yn's a bit occupied with juggling a couple life things; vanessa, handling their new job, adjusting to the changes in their hometown that happened without them and that the world wont stop for them... romancing a robot isn't at the top of their list of priorities, for good reason. they probably wouldnt even think about it even if they were starting to "feel the feelings."

the dca on the other hand,,, really, yn and the daycare and the pizzaplex and everything inside are all they know or have to think about. before the virus, they got a LOT of time to just be sort of..... thinking about things. in their mind, they have all the time in the world! while they of course still have issues, a lot of their issues are centralized in one place- the daycare. the pizzaplex. that being said i think they'd fall for or at least realize first. i think, all things considered, ignoring the grand opening and prep stress, they'd have quite the nice existence for a while; and time to ponder their feelings about things. they might have a bit of a crisis if they realize they have feelings for a human being, but that's a whole other issue!

as for the burn-rate ?? i would like to imagine slowburn,,, but i also know im kinda dogshit at pacing haha

i feel like this sorta turned into word salad at the end but ???? hope this answers ?? agagga

i also just want to point out the qsmp members' commitment to like never letting the inactive members die. like dantdm logged on twice and is canonically dead and everyone continues to blame mysterious happenstance on him. spreen is canonically dead and yet people are still like namedropping him even tho the house façade he built has been demolished and also probably consumed by a mountain. they meme on kameto who's barely been on except that time he was a fed spy that was iconic as hell. they just immortalize their members and they're always so happy to see old faces come back and it lowkey makes me emotional lmfaoo like missa barely logged on for a while but goddamn nobody forgot his name bc philza can't go one day without mentioning him and mariana barely logs on but every time fit saw the homeless mariana in roier's city no matter what he'd stop dead and tell it "come home" and when slime came back to the server for elections after having logged off for the last like two months everyone was still excited to meet him bc the others had kept his memories on the server fresh and alive, maxo died canonically in the nuke and pierre pasted his face all over the server, luzu vanished for months and we never forgot him either thanks to the computers and foolish's wack ass family tree. like when purgatory teams were chosen and team red constantly joked about how it would be so over for the other teams once germán logged on despite the fact that germán had only ever logged on ONCE, the way they cheered when they snatched rubius in the split of green despite the fact that rubius hadn't logged on more than twice since march. they just keep the names alive all the time and it's like

it just makes me really happy to see. like it makes me really happy. like the admin team and the members alike are like 'no way in HELL are we letting your memory go' like damn once ur on isla quesadilla you really are stuck as an islander forever :D

IDK if you've ever said anything about it, but in the Lights Out AU, what was Wally's first reaction on realizing that Frank was alive and he wasn't alone anymore? I imagine it was...quite emotional

i Haven't talked about their Initial Reunion yet, no! but yes, it was very emotional! there were certainly many emotions!

namely: fear, confusion, shock, and nearly killing your friend with an oversized baseball bat <3

[wrathofrats]

pebble, swiss and alpha? Do you think they'd share him? (Him being alpha)🥺

Anon I’m going to dox you on Twitter how dare you make me think about that

I have awful brain rot about all of them can you tell is it that obvious anon feel free to let me know if you’re stalking me

But.. yeah no I do yeah yeah yeAH YEAH.

Pebble teaching swiss that alpha is all bark and no bite. Really just humiliates him for Swiss since pebble knows so much about him, and oh Swiss is more than happy to exploit that.

Coos at him, calls him easy, tells Swiss that alpha is just a brain dead slut that only ever thinks with his dick. Just get a hand on him and he will do whatever you want.

And I’m sure alpha puts up a fight, tries to argue with pebble and list all the nasty things alphas done to him, but Swiss is having none of it.

“Oh pebble, your dildos got quite the mouth on it”

That goes straight to alphas dick, immediately chubbing up a bit and stammering out some protest but pebble and Swiss are fucking laughing at him.

“Think it may be broken. Wondering if you could help me fix it”

Would just be a shame if they got alpha tied up on a chair. Hands behind the back of it, legs securely attached to the wooden legs of the chair. Maybe they make him watch as they work each other up, put on a show for him.

Has to sit there and watch as Swiss makes pebble melt in his hands, immediately sweet and pliant. Sloppily making out while Swiss reaches behind him to open him up, honestly it’s all fucking obscene.

God and I’m sure once pebbles nice and loose for him they just take turns completely using him. Pebble bouncing on his cock as he talks to swiss like alphas not even in the room. Probably has to gag him at some point because he keeps protesting and growling. Toy must still be broken.

If alpha calms down enough Swiss will give him the reward of letting him have his cock in his mouth, may even cum down his throat if he stays real still.

Probably just completely cover him, get him real messy like a good toy should be

i'm really happy!! i scrolled back on some of my kitty token and like. i'm officially at the point where I'm cringing at my art from a few months ago again!! that might sound sarcastic but i'm 100% serious. stagnating or even losing skill from being burnt out and depressed feels fucking awful. and like without art I genuinely have no fucking clue how to keep on going. but i think i'm getting healthier to the point where i'm finally improving again with little baby steps. so slowly getting those skills back feels unbelievably good

i'm just :') haven't felt hope like this in years, like since i finally found the right mix of meds and didn't want to kill myself every single day lol. life is feeling fucking worth it again baby. nothing to say fuck it to, we are just straight up balling B)

Your job as the reaper has taken you around the world, meeting souls of vastly different paths.

And here, in a bloody train station, underneath the earth, a man with a mohawk hisses at you with blood on his teeth and a hole at the side of his head.

"Ah'm not goin' anywhere," he hisses, "still got shite ta do. Ya ken?"

You rise elegantly from your staggered position. "I do. But like you, I have a job to attend to." Your scythe, forged from the belief of the people who believed in your existence, twists and fades to leave your hands free.

So many souls demanded one last fight. A chance to come back to the people they've gutted with loss.

He grits his teeth. "Got no pity fer a man like me, eh?"

You lock gazes with a dead man. "Johnny," you echo, "there is no running away from death."

All Johnny sees is a skull. He tenses when he blinks and the next thing he's facing is his lieutenant. The same lieutenant begging on his knees for him to wake up.

"Pity disnae fit in tha eyes of Death, ya ken?" He snarks, charging towards you.

You simply allow him to stab into you, dry bone cracking and snapping like fragile chalk under his force.

Bony hands wrap gently around Soap's neck, and Ghost is wrenched away harshly from a cold man's corpse.

Would love to hear about potential parallel stories/lore in judaism 👁👁👁👁💞

i realized that i actually havent thought very in depth about parallels and themes in the bible in a LONG time but let me think...

one that jumped to the forefront of my mind is something that idk if its a theme/parallel or not, but it has to do with moses. in the torah (really in the talmud i think which is a bunch of rabbi's headcanons about the torah that were then accepted as canon later on), when moses was taken in by pharaoh a test was performed to see whether moses would overthrow him, and by extension whether he was safe to keep and raise. that test was to show baby moses two pots: one of gold and riches and one of hot coals, and whichever he grabbed would be indicative as to what kind of son he'd be. so obviously, being a baby, moses starts to go for the shiny stuff. but (so the story goes) since moses has plot armor an angel (of death [?]) reached out and moved his hand to the hot coals. this is important because not only did it secure his safety to grow up under pharaoh's watch, but it burned his hand, which he then put in his mouth which permanantly burned his tongue and gave him a lisp. now the lisp isnt really talked about much more until later on, and its kind of minor so i get why its often left out, but it changes the whole feeling of the story! because of the lisp, moses gets nervous to speak in front of pharaoh's mages, and so it's aaron who does the talking when they turn their staffs into snakes. it's aaron (iirc) who speaks to the hebrews and tells them the word of god. moses is the one who speaks directly to god and does his bidding in the stories, but aaron is the one who conveys the information. and AND i just remembered this continues!! it continues to be true that moses doesnt always tell his own story!! in the scientific world it is generally accepted that there are a few different authors/compilers of the torah, but in judaism there is one main accepted truth of how it was written with two endings: moses wrote the whole thing up until the last chapter when he was on mount sinai, writing down word for word what god told him to. the ending, though, changes because at the end of the bible moses dies there is a debate over whether moses wrote his own death before it happened (since god is omnipresent blah blah blah) or whether joshua took over for him after he died. if the latter is true, that would be the second time someone tells moses' story for him!! first aaron tells the mages and the hebrews who moses is and why he was sent to save them, and then joshua tells the story of his death and his exile from the holy land! there are THEMES and MOTIFS i can SEE THEM

i have no idea if this is what you were asking for but thank you for inviting me to infodump XD <3

Hello! I was wondering if you have any tips for someone interested in practicing both Hellenic and Norse/Heathen polytheism.

I’m interested in both but am unsure how to go about incorporating heathenry into my pre-existing Greco-Roman based practices

Hey there, Nonny, thank you for the interesting ask! (Adding "read more" due to length)

When it comes to worshipping multiple pantheons, just in general, I feel it's always important to first address your beliefs on multiple pantheons. Are you Omnist, where you believe there is truth to every religion just about? Are you a syncretist, where you believe there is only one or a few pantheons and the gods simply go under different names? These sorts of beliefs are important to address before moving forward, as it can heavily impact your practice, depending on what answer you come up with.

Outside of all that, I think the biggest thing is doing research on ancient Norse history, culture, and religion. My friend, @broomsick , has a lot of great resources on historical Heathen practices. They are one of the most well-read people I've ever spoken to regarding this topic and they can answer just about any question you have, from what I've both seen and experienced. I highly recommend asking them for resources on ancient Norse heathen culture and religion. There, unfortunately, is not nearly as much information about Norse mythology as there is about Greek mythology, mostly due to the fact that it was a largely verbal practice for the Norse and they didn't write things down often, but with the information we do have, you can at least learn a little bit about what culture and religion were like for Norse heathens.

A big thing to pay attention to while researching is differences in culture. For the ancient Greeks, culture massively impacted their practices and worship, and I would not doubt that the ancient Norse heathens were the same way, in that regard. Understanding the ancient culture will aid you significantly in also understanding the Norse deities that came from said culture (this is also true for Greek gods, or any pantheon, really). It will give you a better idea of how to approach them and even what may be considered taboo. A good example is that oaths were a HUGE thing in ancient Norse culture. To break an oath would be to become an oath-breaker, and that is the absolute WORST thing anyone could possibly be (maybe with some exceptions). Within ancient Greek culture, oaths are not held to the same standard. While it's certainly not a good thing to break oaths and promises, it wouldn't make you into someone that could never be trusted again, nor would it likely see you shunned for the rest of your days. The ancient Norse took oaths far more seriously than the ancient Greeks which is a notable difference in their cultures; this tells you that Norse gods will likely take oathing much more seriously and may be stricter about maintaining any oaths you make.

On top of all this, respect the fact that these deities come from separate histories. Even if you decide you are a syncretist, it is still important to respect that these deities were, at one point, separately worshipped by very different communities with varying beliefs. The only thing I recommend with this is to simply acknowledge it as a fact and respect it in your heart. I've found that acknowledging this has been beneficial to me, as it helps me to remember that the Norse deities likely expect different treatment from me than those of my Greek deities, or that they were at least treated differently in the ancient past.

Another thing to keep in mind, and something I've noticed, is that epithets don't seem to be as big of a thing in Norse heathenry. I still very much use them, and I see other modern worshippers doing the same, but overall, I have noticed that epithets don't seem to carry the same weight, at least not for the same reasons. As I said, they are still used, but rather than invoking a hyper-specific aspect of that deity or identifying who you are specifically speaking of, it seems that Norse deity epithets are meant more as respect and acknowledgement of a deity's power and status. Odin the All-father, Loki the Father of Lies, Freyr the Great General of the Gods - to me, these seem to acknowledge the power, accomplishments and status of these deities rather than their specific domains and aspects. Naturally, there are Norse epithets that acknowledge specific aspects, but knowing what I know of ancient Norse culture, I feel it is more with the intentions that I described above.

One last point I'd like to make is that I often see this stereotype floating around the pagan community that Norse deities are hyper-serious, especially in comparison to other pantheons (specifically in comparison to the Greek pantheon). This is, as mentioned, just a stereotype. Frankly, the Norse deities I've encountered have all been extremely kind, patient, understanding, and, believe it or not, fun to be around. Thor, for example, gave me this awesome "big brother" energy when I first encountered him. I felt like I could be myself and joke around easily with him. As another example, Loki has been tons of fun for me. They know how to cheer me up when I'm sad and have been an extremely comforting presence in my life. Of course, different deities will react differently, as is true for even different people, but overall, I find this weird ass stereotype to be entirely false, and I'm unsure where it stems from. You have nothing to be worried about when it comes to the supposed "hyper-sternness" of Norse deities.

I feel that's all the advice I can give without making this far longer than it already is. Genuinely, I advise seeking out @broomsick ; I know I mentioned them before, but they have been a massive help to me in my own personal journey with Norse deities. Remember that, regardless of the panteon, I always recommend being yourself with your deities and worshipping in a way that makes you feel comfortable. You don't have to be extremely serious and formal, if that doesn't make you happy. You also don't have to be extremely loose and informal, if that doesn't make you happy. Worship in the way that makes you comfortable because, just as with ancient Greece, many Norse clans (hope that's the correct term) worshipped differently from one another, and there were often contradicting beliefs between them all. There is no one way to worship or one correct answer; there is no set of rules you MUST follow. Worship the way you wish; it is your practice, after all, and no one else's.

Have a great day/night, and please take care, Nonny! Again, I hope this helps! 💚🖤
