❝ COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS ❞ — miya osamu

cw. gn!reader, culinary school!au, rivals to friends, fluff, language (reader has a bit of a potty mouth), onigiri miya is a family business, there’s just a slight tension between them, not beta read. word count. ~ 1.6k

getting locked out of your dorm isn’t the worst thing that can happen, until you have to call in a favour from miya osamu, your literal nightmare— or a blessing in disguise?

event masterlist

this is so stupid and would’ve been completely avoidable if you just slept even a little bit last night instead of staying up experimenting before heading for your morning class.

with a huff of annoyance and bleary bloodshot eyes from sleep deprivation and rubbing them in a desperate hope of waking yourself up from a half-asleep half-dead state, you rummage through your bag for the overloaded carabiner one more time for good measure, you’ll never know if it was just hidden in a pocket that you missed— nope never mind, it’s not there.

“fuck me.” slamming your palm on the door, you rest your forehead on the smooth hardwood doors of your dorm entrance and sigh, just my fucking luck.

you can picture it crystal clear, all the ingredients you’ve neatly laid out on the kitchen counter ready for you to prepare a quick lunch, and that damned mason jar of bottled gold. you spent the whole of last night and the ones before perfecting it and now it sits just outside of your reach, like the gods above playing a sick trick on you— except there’s no trick, just you being stupid and forgetting to bring your keys out that landed yourself in this predicament.

your frustration is immeasurable, you need that for a class later in the afternoon that weighs a hefty amount on your grade and you can’t afford missing out on it, you’ve spent so much time on it after all and refuse to give in. all this is making you want to run your hands through your hair and harshly tug, hoping that the sting would rouse you from this bad dream.

no one’s in the dorms right now, everyone’s either in class or the library, and the sweet old dorm lady’s out and about sourcing for ingredients in town; it’s restock wednesday.

you’re ransacking your brain, mentally going through a list of people you could possibly engage for help, mumbling under your breath so the pathetic silence doesn’t swallow you whole. it’s quiet aside from the birds overhead, their constant chirping grating to your ears, almost like they’re mocking you.

“i don’t have cash on hand to pay a locksmith.”

“i could ask noya to try picking the lock, but knowing him it’s more likely that he’ll break it.”

"could maybe try asking ukai? but that geezer will probably say no just to fuck with me."

there's no one else around or remotely in the area other than— oh hell no. his family restaurant is just off campus and wouldn't take too long for you to get there and back to class later but just the thought of needing help from that guy sickens you to the pits of your stomach. but beggars can't be choosers, and the you of today chooses the only option that will secure you your grade.

your last option is unfortunately, miya osamu — next in line to run onigiri miya, mister “i’m going to be the best in the academy”, always trying to one-up you, stupid grey-haired baseball cap wearing bane of your existence.

the trek there thankfully isn’t too long since your dorm is closer to the edge of campus, and the little diner just a stone’s throw away from the road leading to the academy gates. the small shopping district is pretty quiet at this time of the day, most middle and public high school kids still having classes and the salary men slaving their lives away at their desks in air-conditioned offices.

before long, you’re standing in front of onigiri miya, the warm lights from inside the store seeping out through the whites of the sliding door. taking a deep breath and bracing yourself to face him, you raise your fist and knock to announce your arrival and gently pull it open.

“i have to say, you’re the last person i expected to see walk through those doors willingly. this better be good.”

osamu stands with his arms crossed, clad in his usual black tee and matching hat, waist apron printed with the logo crest of onigiri miya. his eyebrows are raised in faux surprise, almost teasing as he gives your figure an up down with his trademark lazy patronising smile.

you scoff, walking past him and straight to the counter seats, placing your bag on the light wooden surface, “don’t flatter yourself miya, i’m not here to see you.”

shaking his head and turning around, he heads behind the counter and leans forward, resting on his forearms, “yeah? why else would you be here then?”

he’s close, a little too close and you take a step back, placing your hand atop his head and pushing him away, face warming up in embarrassment, “shut up.”

with a sigh, your reluctantly murmur the next four words, “i need your help.”

“i’m sorry, i didn’t quite hear you there, come again?” you desperately want to slap that shit eating grin off his equally handsome and annoying face, he definitely heard you and is messing with you, but what did you expect really?

raising your voice, you snarl, but the impact’s dulled with your inability to meet his eyes, “i said, i need your help, you little bitch.”

osamu chuckles, you’re cute. you must’ve been at your wits end to even bother coming to him for help.

he claps and rubs his hands together, “okay then, how can i be of service?”

you explain the situation at the expense of a few jabs and lighthearted insults from him, how so very childish. the plan is to recreate the concoction of a sauce that you made last night, current sitting in all its glory in the dorm’s kitchen, the same dorm that you’ve conveniently locked yourself out of. he agrees that it’s the most logical solution, seeing that you already know the proportions and just don’t have access to the ingredients, which he can provide his disposal at the restaurant.

he’s surprisingly focused and helpful, even with his provoking comments once in a while, studying your recipe and even making a few samples on the side with additions that he thinks might complement or enhance the flavour palate that you’re going for with your dish. you notice little things that you didn’t before— his tongue pokes out of his mouth when he’s in the zone, he furrows his eyebrows when processing a taste and the way his nose scrunches if it tastes a little odd.

as much as osamu’s existence pisses you off, you can’t deny that he’s good at what he does and completely justified in aiming for the top seat. he’s not arrogant, just extremely sure of himself and his abilities, a quality you wish you had in this competitively and highly individualistic field. what’s the point of someone having your back if you can’t have your own? some days, a little self-assurance goes a long way.

with a few last minute tweaks to your original proportions (courtesy of him), a new bottle of liquid gold sits in the palm of your hand, an even better version of what you had, if it was even possible.

nudging your shoulder with his, he looks over at you with an annoying smirk, “everyone say thank you osamu!”

“tch, shut up.” you roll your eyes, nudging him back with more force, enough to cause him to stumble over his feet as you bite back a laugh.

you eye the clock, there’s still plenty of time before your class begins and as you think about the lunch that you supposed to cook for yourself back at the dorms, your stomach lets out a series of gurgles, your face simultaneously flushing with embarrassment.

wordlessly, osamu begins whipping up something in the kitchen, a fresh fragrance hitting your senses and filling the air. as much as you hate to deny it, your mouth waters in anticipation and you bashfully shuffle behind him to peek at what he’s doing.

he just glances at you over his shoulder and juts his chin out in the direction of the counter seats, “sit down, i’m making you something to eat.”

raising your nose in mock defiance, you scoff, “who said i was staying for lunch?”

he just shoos you away with the wave of his hand and a mischievous glint in his eyes, “just let me make you something that’ll make you say it’s delicious, trust me.”

it’s been a running thing between the two of you since you met in a class and demanded to try his food after his grand declaration of being the top. you’re both prodigies in your own right, and you just wanted to see if the man could deliver as he spoke. don’t get it wrong, his dish was absolutely divine and brought you back to memories of your childhood home and running around in the backyard with dirt covered sandals chasing dragonflies, but you refused to admit that there was someone up to par, barely choking out an unconvincing, “tastes like shit.” before shoving your dish in his face.

it’s no different this time, and you’re unsure if it’s because of the calm and humble atmosphere of onigiri miya, the domesticity of watching him cook in the comfort of his home kitchen, or just how hungry you are, but all it takes is one bite before you start unabashedly scarfing down his delicious creation.

if he’s smug about it he doesn’t show it, choosing to savour the rare peace and quiet of non-bickering, but silently knowing that perhaps he has won this time. wiping the sweat off his brow, he leans against the staff doorway and watches you eat with a soft smile, munching on his own onigiri.

“hey, wanna walk to campus together?”

notes. wyr !! always a pleasure seeing you in my notifs !! ALSO CAN I JUST SAY, THE WAY I INTERNALLY SCREAMED WHEN I SAW YOUR REQUEST !! my mind went straight to food wars and this is heavily inspired by that < 3

Y'know if lbh exists canonically in Squid Game verse then I also wonder if LJJ does too. I would like to think that Gi Hun in his everyday life often gets comments and compliments like, "Hey you resemble that famous actor" :D

the way i always forget this 😭

i think it's safe to assume that lee jungjae exists in the squid game universe since he was in a show with lee byunghun in the 90s. thus, every co-star of lbh's (aside from the ones in squid game) would exist.

inho has won several lbh lookalike contests. he has also been confused for him several times, including when he was a cop and someone took a picture of him and the entirety of korea thought lbh was gonna star in a cop movie.

gihun i don't think would be confused for ljj. gihun is so disheveled in comparison to jj, i think ppl would probably take a pic of him and post it on the internet and ppl would wonder why ljj has let himself go.

but when he cleans up he def gets lots of compliments!!! and everyone would be asking abt jws and inho would be jealous, bc that's the person he is.

and now i need jiyeong to meet inho, bc my cinephile girlie would scream if she saw a man who looks exactly like lbh 😭💖

Another $500 of Yui merch😅

And translations of all the message cards I have under the cut!

However, due to Gacha BS I still somehow didn't get about half the messages despite ordering 65 whole cards??? That's half the value of the order?? There should be 28 total, and even accounting for unspoken rarity bs (wtf rejet??) that I did know about when deciding how to order this is just weird... Like, I'm still missing one D rarity card despite FORTY out of all the cards being Ds. WTF???

Anyway, on to the translations!

#1-B: "I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm sure it'll work out!" (😭😭😭 Yui always with saying exactly what I need to hear and making we not just believe it, but want to make it happen. For her. Specifically.)

Saw a picture of #1-C, and the message/translation is: 「これ以上吸われたら 困っちゃうよ……！」 "If you drink anymore, I'll be in real trouble...!" (I like to think she says this to mess with Amaya sometimes because she would JUMP in the cutest way (in Yui's opinion lol)😂)

#1-D: "Are you trying to cheer me up?" (Is it working? *eyebrow wiggle*😉heehee)

#2-C: "...Are you worrying about me?" (Always😭😭 But somehow, she does always make me feel like no matter what, everything will be okay. (See 1-B))

#2-D: "I can tell how kind you are." (Because of you, always. You're the one who makes me want to be better.🥺)

#3-A: "I'm really looking forward to going shopping with everyone!" (Server buddies!! You heard Yui, we're going on a shopping group date, asap!!😁😁) (Also, why was this 4/5 of my As? I do love her expression in this but I really couldn't get to see more of the other ones? 😭)

#3-B: "Were you keeping me in mind...!?" (You're on my mind virtually every moment of my life.😊)

#4-D: "I'm glad that you seem to be having fun!" (How could I not have fun getting messages from you!❤️)

#4-B: "I never said you could drink from anywhere!?" (She's messing with Amaya again lmao)

Also saw a picture of #4-D, which is: 「今日の思い出も、絶対に忘れないよ。」 "There's no way I'd forget the memories we made today." (Neither will I. Every moment with you is priceless.)

#5-A: "Maybe I should try saying 'I love you' too?" (KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍)

#5-B: "I wanted to spend today with you no matter what." (We can spend as many days together as you want!!)

#5-C: "I'm plenty happy just being with you." (The feeling is mutual😭😭😭)

#5-D: "You're going to drink from there too...!?" (Yui, you are going to kill your girlfriend with the teasing😂)

#6-C: "Maybe I'll tease you once in a while?" (Ngl I was legit combusting for a few minutes when I saw this one. Anyway if you doubted my previous assessments, yeah no. It's canon. She would.😂 Also it's the design where she has the fangs??? omg... >///////<)

#6-D: "I'd be happy if we could spend every day together." (Yui said Every Day Means Every Day and I am helpless but to oblige😁)

#7-C: "This might be a little embarrassing...! Does it suit me?" (ABSOLUTELY!!!😭😭😭 You look perfect in anything because you're the more beautiful person to ever exist🙇🙇🙇)

#7-D: ""We'll always be together. Promise?" (YES!!!!! ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!! YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! 💕💕❤️💍❤️😍💘😍❤️💍❤️💕💕 and I have 14 copies of this card to show for it!!!)

Aaaaand that's everything I have! (btw I used my sasakoi tote bag as the photo taking background lmao. What? It works. Can't escape from the yuri in my house😂) Will try to update this if I ever manage to buy the missing ones on resale or come across pictures on the interwebs!🫡

Can I change my past, present and therefore my future instantly in my 3D?

For example, going to sleep and deciding that when I wake up my past, present and future will change and everything will be changed and materialized in my 3D, not just in my imagination?

Or, for example, enter the void state with the intention of changing my past, present and future and have everything materialize in my 3D instantly?

your past only exists in memories.

sure, if you go somewhere and buy something as a souvenir, it’s evidence you went there. but you actually going there only exists in your memories. you can’t go back and change that, but you can forget about it. how you went and bought that souvenir is something you can totally change in your and others’ memories.

clap your hands. if you’re alone, which I’m assuming you are, the only person that saw that happen is you, therefore it only exists in your memories. nobody else has seen it to evidence you doing it. but clapping your hands isn’t happening in this moment anymore, so you doing the action doesn’t exist anymore.

I found that focusing on the past can be a blockage. when manifesting an sp, I thought of all my past experiences with love where I was rejected and rejected and rejected. but that only exists in my memories, so don’t pay attention to those memories, because they don’t exist anymore. if you’re focusing on something you went through yesterday, that version of you doesn’t exist anymore. you are you today. the person you were 10 seconds ago isn’t who you are now, you’ve most likely learned or saw new things that you 10 seconds ago hadn’t.

but wanting to change other people’s past memories is totally possible. always remember this, your 3D is a projection of you. so if you want your friends, colleagues, classmates, crush to forget how you fell down the stairs today, just affirm they’ve forgotten it. feel that they’ve forgotten it. and you must act like they have.

remember in the movies when the loser nerdy kid did something embarrassing, everyone teased them for it. but when the blonde cheerleader girl that could and would ruin your life did something embarrassing, nobody dared to even remember it. and then when the loser nerdy kid gained more confidence in his character and actions, everyone forget about his loser nerdiness. acting with confidence, like nobody would dare to remember your mistakes, is a very powerful tool. because when you act with this confidence, you vibrationally align with what it is you want, meaning it is easier for your manifestations to come to you because you are on the same vibrational level as it.

in person, i’ve also had people ask me about pictures. pictures and videos are direct evidence of places you’ve been, people you’ve seen, things you’ve done. but of yourse you can change them. why? because your 3D is a projection of you. so if you want to go downstairs and see that embarrassing school picture of 13 year old you with bad skin and wonky teeth looking mildly better, affirm that that picture looks better. some way, some how, it will appear better. and affirm that nobody remembers the old picture.

when sleeping, you can 100% use the void state to manifest what will happen when you wake up - which will be your future. from the moment you fall asleep to the moment you wake up, hours will have passed, therefore you have manifested your future. but remember, affirming ‘I am’ or ‘I have’ in present tense is the key to manifesting. but the void or void state is a very easy way to manifest. when entering the ‘void state’, what you are simply doing is entering a deep manifestation state where your alpha and theta waves take over. this makes it easiest to manifest as your subconscious is more in control, therefore giving you a chance to change its belief system which will change what it projects into your 3D. as long as your confident with your visualisation and affirmations and remove or disprove any doubts, then manifestation can be instant.

to disprove doubts, simply ask yourself, ‘why would that happen?’.

I won’t get what I want. why? why wouldn’t you get it?

I don’t deserve my manifestations. why? why don’t you deserve them?

they won’t come quick enough. why? why won’t your manifestation come quickly? are you not a master manifester?

it isn’t about changing your present.

when you think about it, the present doesn’t wholly exist. everytime the clock moves another second, we are another second into the future. so it isn’t about changing what we see in are present, it is about changing what we’re going to see in the next few seconds, or the next few days, or months, or years.

if the past only exists in your memories, and that is the only way they can come into fruition, then we can create ‘future memories’ that we tell our subconscious are going to happen. so when we think and think about something we want to experience in our future, what do we call that?

visualisation.

once harnessed, visualisation can be one of the most powerful manifesting tools. try this exercise:

close your eyes and picture the room around you. imagine everything. look to the window, look to the biggest thing in the room. imagine all the details. now picture yourself standing up and going to get a glass of water. feel the floor beneath your feet, does it change when you walk into the kitchen? feel the cold glass around your hand, feeling the weight of the glass increasing as you fill it up, feel the cold water running down your throat, refreshing, right? now go get a glass of water exactly as you imagined it.

this shows your subconscious that the things you visualise really do happen in your 3D, and makes visualisation so much stronger for you.

The Afterlife

"Oh, you again?"

"Huh?"

"No, no. Welcome. Let's see how you fared in this life."

The last thing Sam remembered were the hind hooves of a bull and excruciating pain. And now the flourescent lights of this small office room were digging into his eyes. He felt groggy and could hardly focus as the woman in front of him searched for something in the file cabinet behind her.

"W-where-"

The woman turned around and smiled at him."Miss Tracy?"

"Oh is that who I am? Good woman, her."

"Wha-where am I?"

"You are in your library. The library of your lives. We need to keep records, you see. Gotta know if you need to move on or not."

"So I am-"

"Dead. Yes."

Sam let out an exhale,"I am breathing though?"

"As am I. To you, at least. You are only seeing what you can digest but don't worry it's not unreal. It's no more unreal than anything else anybody else might see."

She smiled at him again just as she used to when he was in kindergarten and was worried for Santa's existence.

"So you are not Miss Tracy."

"No, unfortunately not", she smiled apologetically, "Come sit. You must be tired."

"Let's get this quickly wrapped up with, shall we?"

The woman sat down on the desk opposite him and folded her hands in front of her. She had turquoise nails.There was a file in front of her. It was remarkably thin.

"Did I die young?", Sam said as he picked up the file, "may I?"

"Yeah, go ahead. Although you won't find anything new there. You have lived through everything already."

He looked into the file. It recorded his time of birth and time of death. He had died at the age of fifty-four years four months six days eighteen hours twenty four minutes six seconds seventy eight milliseconds and so on.

He had gone to a school. Then a college. Gotten married. Gotten divorced. Never had kids. He had a buddy with whom he used to drink. He had tried to date but he wasn't really cut out for such things. He had tried out investing but that hadn't worked out in his favour. He liked watching fish and his favorite flavour of ice cream was butterscotch. He had died while trying to feed a bull at a farm.

"Oh. Well."

The lady in white smiled.

"I kinda wish you hadn't shown me that."

"But you have lived through it all yourself."

"It doesn't seem as if I lived all that much."

"A lot of people say that."

"...Are you God?"

"Who's that?"

"Er...who are you?"

"Me? Well, you always forget. I just take care of the library of afterlife. I talk to people who come here and see if they are ready to move on."

"Move on where? Next life?"

"Next dimension."

"Dimension?"

"Yes, you come from the 3-D world. If you move ahead, I'll file you in to 4-D."

"Hah. It sounds so stupid."

"It is."

"Why would you say that? You work here."

"Well, it's true. True for you and true for a lot of people who come here. I don't go through the cycle of life and death. I can hardly comment."

"Have you attained- what's it called- nirvana?"

"No no. I was here always and I'll be here always. You don't remember but you met me when you came from the one dimensional world and from the two dimensional world too. We had a chat and drank coffee. You've been here in the three dimensional world for some time now."

Sam looked at all the files behind her. "Would you like to see your files? People like to do that."

"Okay..sure, why not?"

The woman pulled out a few files and put it in front of him. Sam could swear the number of files on the shelf hadn't changed. They looked like standard floppy stick folders. He opened one.He was a Mongolian woman in one life. He had lived to be quite old and had six grandchildren. There was even a picture. There he was with a toothless smile. In one life he was a crane operator on Mars. He had studied so much for that. In another, he had died aged five of smallpox.

There was even a file of his life in the one dimensional and two dimensional world. He found them surprisingly easy to understand. Life as a dot had been nice. And his stick figure parent had supported his dream of becoming a singer.

There was also a recap of his life in the 4-D. He expected it to be hard to understand but it wasn't really. He had gone insane in his life and had eventually killed himself.

"Oh, that was a tough one", the woman said."You were very angry when you came here. A four dimensional life proved to be too complex for you so we had to shift you back to 3-D."

"Are you saying I was too dumb?"

"More like just not ready yet. We generally would just put you back in 4-D until you got the hang of it."

But you were quite sick of it and and asked to be put back in 3-D so we did."

"So if I asked you to put me back in 4-D would you do it?"

"Well, I could but I won't recommend it. What's the hurry? You'll be here forever anyways."

"2-D then?"

"Again, I could but do you really want that?"

"Okay, I guess I'll take 3-D again."

"Hm. Good choice."

"...Can I be rich in my next life?"

The woman laughed, "No, I don't do that. These things are randomised."

"Hmm...I thought so. Can I just stay here for a bit?" Sam stared around the room. It was like any other office room. He should know, he had spent most of his life in one. It was painted in plain colours with generic motivational quotes hanging in frames. But now golden sunlight streamed in through the blinds bathing the room in a warm glow. He walked to the window and looked outside. A school of fish flitted about, startled by the sudden movement. Sam pressed his hand against the window pane and gawked. Where there should've been sky or ground, although he supposed he didn't know what to expect, there was only ocean and thousands of fish swam in it creating a colourful and magnificent display. Before he could ask Miss Tracy replied, "Those are indeed fish."

"To me?"

"To you. They live in the river of time eternally swimming from the beginning to end."

"Hot chocolate?", she then asked.

When Sam looked back, there was a steaming mug on the desk.After finishing his mug (slowly as to savour it), he took a nap on the couch and when he woke up, the woman was still there arranging the files on the shelf and humming a tune to herself. The fish still swam outside.

"Ahem. How do I...go?"

"Oh, just leave through that door over there."

She pointed to a door behind him. It was simple plywood with a doorknob and a flyer pasted on it that read, 'Live, Laugh, Love'.

"Bye then, see you again."He opened the door and walked in.

***

“Oh, you again? Welcome, child.”

Little Larry stepped into the room. It looked like his mum’s kitchen back in Hackney with soft morning sunlight pouring in through the blinds. There stood a silhouetted figure beckoning him to take a seat, the aroma of baking dough suffused the room and his greedy lungs lapped it up, grateful to finally breathe.

In Animaestro, Adrien said, "Well, I'm more of a dog person myself."

He could be lying to protect his identity... but I like this theory too.

Since the Ladybug and Black Cat miraculouses are meant to represent yin and yang, I believe the same thing applies to Marinette and Adrien.

So, Marinette is a cat person and Adrien is a dog person! :D

Other things/headcanons:

- Adrien is an early bird; Marinette is a night owl

- Adrien is always described as sunshine or the summer sky; Marinette is described as moonshine or the ocean

- Adrien is very tidy and organized; Marinette is chaotic and disorganized

- Adrien is more quiet, a listening type; Marinette is the type to overshare and give lots of advice

- Adrien prefers classical music; Marinette is more into contemporary- though they both like Jagged Stone

- Adrien is very calm and thinks about his words before he says them; Marinette thinks at a mile per minute and doesn't have much of a filter

- Adrien is a very internal thinker, meaning he processes things internally which is why he's able to develop a persona like Chat Noir very easily; Marinette is more of an external thinker, she processes things by talking to people and asking questions and needs to be surrounded by activity to process better

- Adrien is very unsure about his future and place in the world; Marinette has a lot of ideas about what she wants to do in her future

- Adrien might take a more calm and relaxed approach to life as he grows older; Marinette is more goal-oriented and ambitious

- Adrien may be good at being creative, but he draws inspiration from other artists and people; Marinette always has a unique flair in every one of her designs

- Adrien avoids confrontation whenever he can even when someone tries to encourage him; Marinette will stand up for herself and others, especially when she's given encouragement

- Adrien might not always want to talk about his feelings or talk about his issues, used to process things on his own; Marinette might want everyone to talk it out, the type who wants everything out in the open

- Adrien is extremely forgiving when he is wronged, to the point that it could be harmful to him; Marinette is more stubborn, it takes her more time to see herself in another persons shoes if she doesn't relate to them- she doesn't forgive or forget easily

- Adrien is more of the type to get sad and depressed; Marinette is the type to get anxious and worried

- Adrien is more of a follower, go-with-the-flow type of person; Marinette likes taking the lead and charge when no one else seems to

- Adrien is optimistic, and always tries to think about the best-case scenarios; Marinette is a bit pessimistic, always thinking about the worst-case scenarios and catastrophizing

- Adrien has very few, close friends and prefers it this way; Marinette always ends up making friends with a lot of people

- Adrien prefers to focus on the practical matters and issues on hand; Marinette prefers to dig deeper and understand the bigger picture

- Adrien is more comfortable with an unplanned, spontaneous approach to life; Marinette wants plans, schedules, and well-defined procedures in place

- Adrien's very graceful and can move with ease; Marinette is clumsy and lacks a good hand-eye-coordination

- Adrien finds happiness and freedom in being Chat Noir; Marinette finds it stifling and constricting at times

- Adrien refrains from making judgments about people too quickly; Marinette jumps into conclusions too quickly

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

There's more, but I can't think anymore, and it's like 3am haha. I don’t mean to say that they are opposites of one another, they're actually really similar in nature and have similar values, they just might come at it differently. I just wanted to write down the differences I could think of, the contrast between the two.

"Creation and destruction are the two ends of the same moment." "Without order, nothing can exist. Without chaos, nothing can evolve."

They're a beautiful balance of each other, two sides of the same coin

[sleepitysleepyspees]

okay so. I'm playing Stray Gods: Orpheus for the first time since it released over a month ago. I'm going to just yell into the tumblr void. spoilers btw.

I went back in an old save and played through The Throne so I could have Orpheus be king of Hades because... achievement.

CERBERUS. CUTE LITTLE GUY. I WANT MORE OF HIM. PLEASE.

the Derryn thing still gets me.

not just Derryn. this whole song. imagine sitting with someone for a date and they compliment you by comparing you to Medusa.

HAHA Orpheus got so pissed when the one guy said Apollo was his favorite.

is it just me or is anyone else getting the feeling that Hermes likes Orpheus? just. the way Hermes looks at him. the way they say certain things. idk.

omg. Orpheus might be shit at modern communication. but he's got great threats.

he can't just leave. he's gotta sing a loud ass song in the middle of a public place announcing that he's done.

"I've never been in love, not ever." LIAR. WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW? HUH???

Orpheus doesn't want to ask the gods for another lover. that is exactly why he asked Hermes.

"I'm depressed because speed dating failed. WELP, TIME TO GET DRUNK!!"

"a seal phone"

should I flirt with Medusa? nah. I did that already. I'm going the route of hate everyone but Hermes despite the fact that I know he's not an option.

the way that Orpheus sees Medusa and is just like "oh, okay." ALL YOU KNOW ABOUT HER IS THAT SHE'S A MAN EATING MONSTER. THE FUCK.

LET'S KILL ATHENA!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Medusa's music is so... idk. it's uncomfortable in a good way. makes me uneasy.

"I go unnoticed here." not anymore. you are singing quite loud.

HERMES IS MORE SCARED OF MEDUSA THAN ORPHEUS. WHAT.

DON'T YOU DARE REJECT HIM, HERMES. they did it. :(

the captions revealing that a character named Daphne exists is crazy.

the little doodle profile picture is so cute. smoll.

the mic just. disappeared?

the mic is back.

Grace's voice was a jumpscare.

who's more of a stereotypical D&D bard? Orpheus or Grace?

who's at more of a crossroads? Orpheus or Grace? (seriously why is Grace just as lost as at the start of the original game???)

Orpheus would not be able to comprehend the concept of aro/ace

I always forget that Grace isn't a theatre kid. well, at least we don't have any evidence that she is.

Grace just suggested stalking a film star.

Grace is too creative for anyone's good.

this would actually be such a great scene for Hermes to say they like Orpheus.

HERMES IS PLAYING WITH CYRBERUS

THAT WAS AMAZING

anyway. this game is great. but like 10 hours straights makes you burnt out. glad I put the game down for a month. King Orpheus + find the muses is my favourite route I've done so far. the part in the one song with Grcae about the muses was so cool.

☕️ and 🗻 for Fic Writing Asks? :)

i wrote you a whole answer and I was seconds away from hitting post when the firefox app crashed sobbing forever 😭

but thank you for the ask! :D I will answer them, take two (grumble, grumble)

☕️: What time of the day do you prefer to write?

"whenever I can manage to spit the words out" is probably the real answer 🤣 but to give an answer that more sorta addresses the question, within the first hour after waking up is probably it, and since I don't have a sleep schedule that could be any time of day/night, but that's when I feel the clearest from brain fog/exhaustion and most capable of being able to write. though I probably do have a slight preference for morning and afternoon because sunshine is nice, but I've definitely woken up at 2am before and been like "okay time to write" lmao

🗻: What's your greatest strength in writing?

hhhhh. emotion. making people feel. making people *cry*. just doing a deep dive into a character's thoughts and feelings is, has been, and will forever always be my favourite thing to write. I've feel like I've honed it pretty well over the years. but also, I seem to get compliments on my descriptions a fair amount, which is always so funny to me because my aphantasia always makes me feel like I'm under-describing things??? like straight up I just forget half the time and then I'll be halfway into like a fight scene or something and realise I have no idea where the characters are in relation to each other and what they're fighting and it's A Problem™️. they're just existing in a black void. so I'll go SHIT and try to rectify that but it's hard for ME to describe when I can't picture it so I'm never sure if it's enough fjdjsk

🦉Positivity owl reporting for duty! This was sent by a friend who wants you to smile as much as your posts make them smile. Please list five things that make you unique, four things you are super passionate about and why, OR three of your favorite memories. Feel free to send the owl to those who you feel deserve to smile🦉

Hello!

I'll go with four things I'm most passionate about if you don't mind 😌

Let's see...

1) Role-playing in general and D&D in particular has to be the first one. Escapism and fantasies are literally my salvation, and D&D plays a huge part in my life.

Creating characters and telling stories through them together with my friends is a kind of therapy for me. I lovelovelove my OCs!!

I've always been a role-player (even a theater kid a little bit). I absolutely loved silly play-pretend games in kindergarten, was obsessed with text role-playing games in middle and high school, and I adore TTRPGs now. I can't imagine my existence without them!

2) Video games! I'm a huge fan of CRPGs and ARPGs, I also like playing visual novels from time to time.

I like The Sims franchise, of course. The second installment introduced me to the world of PC gaming.

However, my absolute favorites are Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchisees, they'll always have a special place in my heart. Dragon Age: Origins was the first RPG I ever played. Instantly fell in love with it! This one literally shaped my taste in games. And oh, despite all the drama around Bioware, I'm so hyped about the upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard!

Then there's Owlcat with their Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. Love 'em! And, of course, I can't forget about almighty Larian with their Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Baldur's Gate 3!!! These games, stories, and characters help me stay sane in this crazy world 🫠

3) Dark stuff and goth aesthetic. Yeah, I know there are lots of sub-genres out there. But I'm talking about the vibes in general, you know? I love all these macabre little things, be it makeup, clothes, architecture, music, etc.

The little me had been a hidden baby bat since forever. Although I didn't have the courage to show my real nature at that time.

4) Editing videos. Yeah, when my schoolmates learned how to draw pictures or play sports, I was trying to create little music videos using my favorite TV shows.

Once Upon A Time and a vidder by the name of KatrinDepp inspired me to thread this rocky path of mastering Sony Vegas. Then, a couple of years later, I switched to creating GMVs (game music videos).

I still have a semi-active YouTube channel for that. Even though nowadays I have a lot less time and inspiration to edit videos, I still like this hobby of mine.

Here are also some honorable mentions: I love cats, they are my favorite animals, 110%. I'm fascinated by magic and supernatural. My guilty pleasure is reading creepy stories and watching videos about ghosts. I also like writing my own stories and even have my own little fictional universe I'm totally normal about!

Oh boy, this post was so long. If you are here, thank you for reading it to the end! And thanks for asking. Have a great day, whoever you are! 💜💜💜

spn s1 ep3 "Dead in the water"

more rewatch notes/commentary I have while watching!! :9

Ew Wisconsin okay...

“guys don't like buff girls.” WHO ASKED?? dumbahh person of the week. I don't even REMEMBER this episode and honestly, I blame you pal. I. Blame. You.

“be careful.” Okay so she's going to die then.

I wish I lived on a lake :(((

HELP THE SLOWMO... uhhh rip girl?? Ig..

Why does Dean look actually insane. He has like 100 newspapers, and his scribbling out faces and circling others 😭😭 i'd call the cops tbh..

Episode three, and second chick we see hitting on dean. It's just bc of his long eyelashes I bet.

LMAO “can I... get you anything else? 😏” “just the check please ☺️” LOVE YOU SAM.

The way dean immediately gives up trying to convince Sam about hookups bc lil bro is still distraught about jess. Like yeah... no way is a hookup gonna seem "fun" to a grieving man

The side eye Sam gives dean when he's telling him about how the people had a funeral for a missing person.

“a funeral?” “yeah for closure or whatever” “closure? What closure. People don't just disappear Dean, others just stop looking for them.” WOAH NELLY... I get it. Bro wants to find dad, dad to find monster, monster to be KKKKKKKKKILLED‼️

vaild.

Okay so Sam is tweaking because he wants to find John, and Dean is— NO WAY HE JUST SAID THAT. “im sick of the attitude.” DAD DEAN CHAT!! also no way he pulled the "I've been with him everyday for the past two years while you were off at school—" BRO.

Great more depressed. old. MEN.

does the loch ness monster exist?

Oh shoot broke dam!! More like... Dam I'm BROKE!!

Dean being good with kids part 1!! Also this is why I have a hard time believing he's so bad with Jack like... LOOK ST THIS.

Dean and his 3 woman in three episodes.

“must be hard with your sense of direction.. trying to find your way to a decent pickup line.” HEYOOOOO!! she ate that.

“‘i love kids’?? You don't even like kids.” “yes I do!” “name 3 kids that you even know.” LMAO NOT SAM GATEKEEPING KIDS LIKE ITS AN INDIE BAND!!! also yes he likes kids, he literally raised you Sam wtfdym?

Wait so late monsters do exist?? THE LOCH NESS IS CANON?? just not here..? Damn I thought since bigfoot was fake that would be too.

I'm pretty sure it's some ghost chick.

Yikes more dead...

“no wonder that kid was so freaked out, watching one of your parents die isn't something you just get over..” DEAN :((( I always forget he watched Mary die, cause like Sam too, he just doesn't remember it.

Dean is so good with kids :(((

STOP THEY'RE SO CUTE.

“when I was your age I saw something... anyways..” FUCK.

DWAHHH LUCAS TAKING THE PICTURE DEAN DREW ☹️

Damn.. and in dirty water. I could never.

Bill Carlton is cooked. Literally everyone he knows is dead now.. like damn. Wtf did he DO.

“my children are gone..its worse than dying..” MORE SAD OLD MEN OMFG.

Lucas drawing is important!!

Why don't these people ever be like “yea.. serial killer man..” LIKE A BELIEVABLE BUT STILL CRAZY LIE. "Why the FBI here?" "Serial killer." ITS THAT EASY.

Dean getting help from a kid AHHHHHHHH!!

“your... scared..? I understand.. you see when I was your age, I saw something real bad happen to my mom, and I was scared too.. I didn't feel like talking, just like you. But see my mom.. I know she wanted me to be brave. I think about that every day.” FUCK. JUST TEAR AT MY HEART STRINGS THEN DEAN. “and I do my best to be brave.. and maybe your dad wants you to be brave too.”

LUCAS YOU THE GOAT!!!

so now they are looking for the house Lucas drew and Dean like "man where tf is it?" And Sam's like "uh.. maybe let's look for the church?"

“ohhh collage boy thinks he's so smart!!” Dean the goat of this episode

Sam twitching because he doesn't know if or how he should bring up deans speech. Honestly now that I think about it Sam digs into deans personal stuff alot, mostly because Dean is jaded and hides stuff but IDK it's interesting.

“oh God we're not gonna have to hug or anything are we?” like you wouldn't enjoy that..

The churchhhhh

OMG THE BIKE. IT WAS BIG IN A DIFF DRAWING AND HERE IT IS AGAIN. omg wait it is important.

He's missing.. the kid with the bike.

EggCarton SMP Log#22 PART1

Conversation. ((this is a continuation to a previous discussion that I forgot to take screenshots of but short summary Soup and Sky realize that Vee is acting strange and decides to casually question her while they are conversing "lava" is the name soup gave to magma so that V33 doesn't act strangely Soup asks V33 to give them a tour of her house.))

V33: I'm not sure what you mean I think you probably zoned out.

Soup: Haha yea how about we just go back to sky and lava? we already saw this statue so no reason to come back.

(they walk over to where magma and sky are)

V33: Hey we were just checking out that statue over there.

Soup: Was there anything else you wanted to show us on the tour?

V33: I mean there's not much here left to see.

Vee: We could always go to the home far away

Soup: Sound's like a plan what are the coords?

Vee: How about I just take you there myself

Soup: Sound's Perfect

(While Walking to the place that leads to Vee's faraway home V33 come's back)

(Soup saves it by directing the subject to the rain that was currently falling)

(Once the rain clears vee and the others leave the cave noticing a C.A.T)

Vee: was it spying on us..?

Soup: Look's like it.. Maybe we should let it be it seems scared and looks tired.

Soup: What are doing with it lava-(magma)

Magma: Playing with it

(in regards to the far away home)

Vee: I think I can show you guys we might have to drop off that C.A.T though at the place with the other C.A.TS at withers house.

Soup: Uh yea but you can stay here while we take it back

(Soup and magma return)

Vee: I found this cute little duck while you guys were gone Im going to take it with us! :D

Soup: So where are we going?

Vee: Right, follow me

(Vee leads them to the far away home)

(They arrive at the home)

Vee: Ive been staying here for a while...

Soup: It's so nice here, but why? seems isolated

Soup: Lots of sunflowers here too..

Vee: I just needed to get away from it all

Soup: That's fair everyone needs theyre space

+silly picture

Vee: I remember doing a lot of writing in this house but not what i wrote.

Soup: you like writing? me too I keep a journal Its peaceful helps me keep track of things so I don't forget

(They go outside to talk magma stays inside playing with the duck Sky watches the conversation and upon going outside V33 come's back and kills the duck)

V33: I would like all the resources I can get.

Soup: I see..

V33: I'm sure you have something of value aswell..

Soup: uhh well depends on your definition of value What might yours be?

V33: Knowledge ofcourse.

(Soup recognizes that V33 tends to overshare so pushes them into giving information)

Soup: In that way we're alike haha love learning new things what kind of knowledge are you looking for?

V33: The knowledge *id get from* conducting studies on a new subject It would be rather useful to me.

V33: I could for hours talking about my best inventions and scientific discoveries.

Soup: Is that so.. I could listen for hours! but tell me. Under her belt what subject could interest someone like you? you seem like someone who has a lot of past subjects.

V33: You'd be surprised to know ive only kept one subject to test on and with enough data I have come to the decision the creature "BlueBell" would be best suited for my studies.

(Soup tries to change the subject but V33 persists)

Soup: the uh.. The flower, right? Isnt that a flower...

V33: say what does an "alligator" look like?

Soup: Uhm.. I'm not sure

V33: My employee gave me useful information about this "bluebell" and described her as an "alligator" sadly I have spent many years away from the world in which "alligators" did exist.

Soup: I see sounds exciting sadly I wouldn't know either as I told you before, I also came from somewhere else Do you know anything else about this creature? that way I can let you know if I spot one.

V33: well she was also described to have a "caretaker" called "Wither"

Soup: I.. Don't know what that is.. are you sure youre in the right place?

V33: Oh I'm sure of it I made sure to send my previous subject to the correct world.

Soup: Oh you put your subjects to work

Soup: Sounds efficient

V33: who wouldnt.

Soup: Well I know a few scientists who wouldnt.

V33: Clearly they arent doing theyre jobs right.

Soup: In books I mean that ive heard of..

Soup: Depends on your goals

V33: I only have one goal.

Soup: Ohh and what is that :)))

V33: well originally my plan was to find a way to bring mass "destruction" to just about ANYONE who wasnt me. Buuut that quickly changed.

Soup: ah! personally its nice to hear that changed sooo, what happened? I'm so curious! I love learning after all

V33: Well I aged. Obviously, and realized that I wasn't going to live forever and create new things to better my own world.. So I decided to *dedicate my life's remaining years to developing a cure to aging by testing on creatures who seemed tough. At least tougher than the previous subject "rats"

Soup: I see clever

V33: In order for that to actually pan out the way i'd Hoped it would I need to actually find this creature first.

I genuinely love the time of night where you just mass reblog nature photography, it makes me really happy. I always forget it's you doing it and I scroll by a bunch of pictures of sunsets and waterfalls and go "who's doing this" and its you!

It tends to happen late at night when I'm about to forget that reality is... real and that the outdoors exists so its really helpful

Please keep doing it, I genuinely really like it

<3 <3 <3 <3 Been holding onto this ask for a bit because it makes me smile whenever I see it. ^^;;

But I figured now is a good time to let it be free. :D Hopefully you're continuing to enjoy the nature photos!! I've been thinking of you everytime I reblog them.

<3 <3 <3 <3

[rustyvanburace]

you know I gotta suggest Navarre for the character ask! and asahi if you’re feeling up to it :^D

Thank you so much!

favorite thing about them: I love how much PIZZAZ he adds to the early game! How can I not like a character with such a flamboyant, demanding personality whose very presence is enough to make everyone react with shock, contempt, laughter, and awe? Navarre is an ass, but a necessary ass to carry the early narrative and add so much excitement to it. I cannot help but giggle to myself everytime he appears. AND THEN, all that character growth in IVA towards becoming a better, more self-aware ghostie. Ohhh I love he so muuuch~

least favorite thing about them: Definitely the unnecessary perversion in IVA. Enough said.

favorite line: The "dawdling Casualries" line will always hold a special place in my heart, but I am also really fond of the stuff he says when you speak with him during the training drills in one of the rest spots,

"O-Oh, it's you… I thought you to be a demon. Don't start me so… I've never carried a blade any heavier than a knife before. If Mother were to see me dashing about with such a weapon in hand, I think that she would faint…"

And

"I landed a critical blow when I accidentally tripped… The next quest was much simpler, since as you might expect, money is no object to me. 'Twas actually easier than the first. But the final challenge all depends on one's strength, and that's a field I'm particularly lacking in… S-Someone else may have first place, I care not whom. Merely let this debacle of a training exercise be done with!"

brOTP: Nanashi and Navarre are best BROS!

Bad edit aside, can't forget the actual bros, Navarre and Gaston lmao. I really enjoyed their sibling relationship and it opened up so much insight into their familial life and personal struggles. I'm so so happy they got to rekindle at the enddd, it was so sweet

OTP: Everyone knows that I am the sole resident of the Issachar x Navarre Crack Ship Kingdom!! Idgaf that they've never canonically met nor even know of each other's existence, the POTENTIAL between them is enough to keep me content and well fed! We support random rarepairs in this house!

I also really like Flynn x Navarre too and they're my second fave Navarre ship, for much the same reasons!

nOTP: Needless to say, my NOtps would be pairing Navarre with his brother or any of the IVA kids. Eeeugh. Enough said.

random headcanon: It's something I've been wanting to analyze in more depth, and IDK how much of this is actually canon or headcanon considering, but I very much fancy the idea of Navarre always having close connections with the Samurai seniors and keeping close tabs on the Rite and new inductions. He's very astute with the going-ons in Samurai business and likely has been anxiously watching them for quite some time.

unpopular opinion: I understand that Navarre is a very unlikeable character, and he's supposed to be! But it honestly does get really bothersome seeing how much dismissal, if not outright hate, he gets in the fandom. Navarre IS an important character within the early game! It is his very antics that adds the necessary tension and tone needed to carry the early narrative and worldbuilding. It does admittedly make it hard for me to approach other SMTIV fans because I like this bean so much.

But that is okay. I am perfectly content with those who seek out, stick by, and enjoy my bean musings. :)

song i associate with them: Tbh I'm pretty bad at that sort of question, lol. I don't really have one for him right now, so pass? (Open to suggestions though! I want more tunes to listen to.)

favorite picture of them: SO MANY panels of him from the Prayers manga FOR REAL. He's SO expressive in that and has TONS of good moments!! But I am especially fond of the mini bonus chapter that features Navarre~

Masataka Miura can agree: Navarre can have a little moment in the spotlight as a treat~

Thank you again so much for the ask! I think I've written quite at length here, lmao. I'm a bit tired now and I don't think I can fit Asahi here, but I could post hers later on!

[possiblyi4657]

:o woah an intro!!!

For the longest time my pinned was a reblog that i really liked, but i may as well try to be More Social or something and actually say a bit about myself! introduce myself to the world outside my little void!

So heyo! The name's Icey, also known as Tora I4-Icey, aka the fellow who lurks in the shadows and only posts on socials every once in a blue moon, here to try and actually exist despite my awful social anxiety!! They/them, 19, and uhh everything else important is hidden under a wall of text so hopefully you like reading?

I have a variety of interests, and I'd like to consider myself an artist, through i mainly draw my ocs (I'd like to change that! I just need to get over my anxiety about messing up other people's character designs first lmao). I also really like editing videos, and of course there's my always present appreciation for the one and only Baymax. Though from the way this tumblr has been going, im preeettyy sure all youre getting here will be my minecraft builds or mcyt reblogs with a side of original content. I have no clue how i keep on returning to this little corner of the internet year after year, but I can't complain much 'cause minecraft is a pretty fun game!!!

oh also here's an unfinished drawing of my sona alongside two other pieces of art i drew of my little guy!

Aaannd now that all the important (?) stuff's finished, here's some questions i'm sure at least some people have (and one friend asked me that i thought were kind of interesting)!

- "So what's with the name?"

My online friends call me either Icey or I4, depending on where you met me. And the name I go by irl is Tora, so i threw all three names in a blender and Tora I4-Icey sounded the best! There's also another name i go by in ffxiv- Ira Icey, so the folks i met over there call me Ira, but I couldn't figure out a way to add Ira to my name.

- "And why's your username a string of numbers?"

Funny story! Back when I was around 12 or so, i kept on forgetting the password to my library account, so my dad changed the password to "4657" and told me to never forget it, cause he's not changing the password a 10th time. It then became my favourite string of numbers, and 4 became my favourite number. I then changed my minecraft account name from "Iceyshadow46" to "I4657", as i hated typing in that username every single time i wanted to effect myself with a command, and somehow I liked that name enough to adopt it as my own! Alas, I am aware the username makes me look like a bot. I'm not changing it, ive stuck with it for this long, and if the bots want it so much, they can pry the name from my COLD DEAD HANDS-

- "Wait, where did the "possibly" part of your username come from? Why possibly?"

I may possibly simply be I4657, also known as Icey, I4, or Tora. Or i may be a cat. Or a squirrel playing a harmonica. You shall never know, and i shall neither confirm nor deny. (read: i4657 sounded too much like a username a bot would choose on here and id rather not get blocked by people assuming (wrongly) that i was a bot.)

- "Why's your sona a glitchy shadow eye creature?"

Fancy lore explanation: As ive been mostly lurking, rarely interacting with anyone on the internet, i kinda pictured myself as nothing more than just eyes, watching others juuust out of sight. But since one can't just look like a blob of eyes and shadows if they want to interact with humans, I stole borrowed the form of a human. Minus the fact that this form (usually) only has two eyes, leading to my lack of spacial awareness, its pretty comfortable. As for the glitches... I don't really have an explanation for that yet.

Actual answer: I had a vision and I thought it'd look super cool. AND I WAS RIGHT!

And I think that's it! I am really, and i mean REALLYYY bad at social media so chances are ill disappear from the face of the earth for days at a time. but ill always come back with something. or at least, ill try to. :D

[project-do-over]

Violet_M00n is available

Violet_M00n: Heyyy sorry for the delay! Got caught up with work stuff...

Bookwyrm1982: literally no time has passed.

Violet_M00n: Right. Right. Habit, I guess.

Violet_M00n: Anyway, what else did you want to know about the future?

Bookwyrm1982: Well you said you had AI, right?

Violet_M00n: Well... Yes and no. We have programs people *call* "AI", but they're really just advanced machine learning. They can't actually think or anything, but they can put together a surprisingly human sounding sentence, and draw things that could at first be mistaken for art.

Violet_M00n: But of course it's awful. The results are full of factual errors or have way, way too many fingers, companies are trying to use it to replace creatives, and it burns a ton of energy doing essential nothing of value.

Violet_M00n: So could you go on ChatGPT and talk to a convincing facsimile of a human but underneath it's just a more advanced version of Dr. SBAITSO.

Bookwyrm1982: that's a shame. But then again at least you don't have to worry about them taking over the world, right?

Violet_M00n: Luna, at this point I'd welcome our robot overlords. Better than the fucks we have running things these days.

Bookwyrm1982: Are things that bad?

Violet_M00n: *sighs* no, I suppose not. I still have a job, a family, I can exist in public without fearing persecution, and I'm mostly free to do as I please.

Violet_M00n: But trust me when I say the people who very much want to take that away have much more power than feels comfortable.

Bookwyrm1982: that sounds scary though.

Violet_M00n: More enraging than scary, really. Just so many people who can't or don't want to see things from anyone's point of view from their own.

Violet_M00n: Well, that, and capitalism.

Bookwyrm1982: I thought capitalism was good though?

Violet_M00n: *sigh* we have so much to learn.

Violet_M00n: Honestly though, and you should be able to find these online if not in the library, but read some Marx.

Violet_M00n: It may not resonate a lot yet, but it will.

Bookwyrm1982: I always thought that Communism was a good idea in theory but it needed a global revolution to actually work.

Violet_M00n: You may be on to something there. And someday, hopefully in our lifetime, we may get there. But it's a long, long road. Especially here in America, where it's been used as a boogeyman for like 80 years now.

Violet_M00n: (55 for you)

Bookwyrm1982: Wow, that's.... I'm not sure I want to grow up now.

Violet_M00n: Well maybe your timeline will invent actual time travel and you can keep that wish. Luna knows I wish I could.

Bookwyrm1982: so

Bookwyrm1982: um

Bookwyrm1982: Can we talk about something more fun? Like, what's something good in your time?

Violet_M00n: Well Magic the Gathering is still pretty good.

Bookwyrm1982: We're still playing? I kinda lost interest and stopped following it a year or two ago.

Violet_M00n: Oh yeah, we're still playing, and the game is... Well, it's way different from your time but also at its heart the same.

Violet_M00n: Like it's still Magic but also there's D&D and cowboys and Gandalf, for some reason. It's cool but it's also kinda scary how much they're pumping out.

Bookwyrm1982: Oh that sounds cool! Is it just D&D and LOTR?

Violet_M00n: They've done a ton of crossovers, they call them "Universes Beyond". They've done, let's see...

Violet_M00n: Dr. Who, Warhammer, Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy, they're doing Marvel soon, Transformers (those are Hasbro though so they were among the first), The Walking Dead, Fortnite, Stranger Things (you... Don't know about those yet, don't worry), um, lots more stuff too that I'm forgetting, but those are mostly in like five or ten card bundles.

Violet_M00n: Unlike LotR which was a full set, with boosters and everything. And the best selling set of Magic in all time, unless Bloomburrow has passed that already.

Bookwyrm1982: Really cool! You'll have to send me some pictures sometime!

Violet_M00n: I'll be sure to downscale them appropriately this time!

Bookwyrm1982: What else do we like? Is Star Trek still running?

Violet_M00n: It had a long break there where it seemed we weren't going to get any more Star Trek.

Violet_M00n: But then JJ Abrams (a director/producer of some renown) made a Star Trek movie that was meh, but good enough to get people interest in the franchise again.

Violet_M00n: Soon after that Paramount spun up Star Trek Discovery, which had a rocky start but Grew The Beard soon enough for them to greenlight Star Trek Picard. Then Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, Academy, and probably one or two others I'm forgetting (not to forget Short Treks and Very Short Treks).

Violet_M00n: Prodigy! I forgot Prodigy!

Bookwyrm1982: The online service?

Violet_M00n: No, Star Trek Prodigy. It's a CG animated series for kids made by Nickelodeon.

Bookwyrm1982: You're making that up.

Violet_M00n: I swear, it's true. Lower Decks is animated too, but 2D, and it's for adults and probably the best thing Star Trek has ever created. It's hilarious!

Violet_M00n: SNW follows Captain Pike on the 1701

Bookwyrm1982: And Discovery?

Violet_M00n: Complicated! It starts out pre-TOS but... Spoilers! And Picard is... Also here!

Bookwyrm1982: Is that about young Picard or something?

Violet_M00n: Old Picard, but close.

Bookwyrm1982: Hey my mom... our mom... just told me to get off the computer so

Bookwyrm1982: ttys!

Violet_M00n: See you in literally no time at all!

Bookwyrm1982 is away

My OCs from different fandoms!

thank u @kindan-no-kanojo for the tag i'm about to be INSUFFERABLE for one full post <3

i wasn't the type to make ocs until last year so it's like 20% actual old ocs and 80% unintroduced dl charas :D it's my personal acc anyway someone HAS to see them before i go insane (they have lore drops tho so just look at the pretty pictures if u don't wanna know (?))

(also using the dividers on the oc blog i'm too lazy to find a cute one >:D)

Diabolik Lovers OC/s (introduced)

Komori Kayo x2 (human and fiend)

we have the babygrills of the blog, kayo and edgy kayo. jk but for ocs i only made like? january of this year i have spent WAY too much time thinking about and drawing them. hunter came first and the loser meowmeow drenched in milk pathetic loser one came after actually :p

i can go on and on about how i designed her appearance in specific but that's for another day :D just know that her blue/yellow color palette is literally a forget-me-not, and hunter's red/yellow color palette is a forget-me-not drenched in blood :D

hunter kayo's "species" is actually called a fiend (a term i just stole from csm LMAO) which is a very rare set of humans that are able to successfully be transplanted with a demonic organ. yes, yui is technically a fiend too in this case.

Lilith

mother <3

in terms of power levels, she's karlheinz on steroids (bc their powers have the same origin but u didn't hear that from me) but she's on another level of psychopathic. was she a demon before she was banished, or did god make her a demon? who knows.

kayo, seiji, and yui's relationship closely mirrors lilith, god, and eve's relationship.

Cecilia Lune

like spring, gone too soon. all that's left are the ashes she left behind.

Jumpscare warning: G*nshin Imp*ct OCs

i censored it bc i can't believe my first ocs were for THIS GAME...

i have a love-hate relationship with the game don't mind <3 i still think back to these three fondly and i'll talk about their lore for a bit cause this is probably the only time they'll see the light of day.

the two sisters are inazuman-mondstadter(?) in blood, but in nationality they're both inazuman, and their visions have inazuman casing. however, maya lives in fontaine and miya lives in sumeru.

Mikoshi Maya (Wandering Princess)

players complaining about too many sweet girls? here's another one!

from the last name, maya is a descendant of mikoshi nagamasa, the human son of the oni chiyo that served the raiden shogun. that part of her backstory doesn't matter to her as much as it matters to her older sister.

maya's a spoiled and lazy child of one of richest businesswomen of fontaine, and she's also a huge hermit. but she has the power to dream of the future, and it always involves someone needing help. even though she's spoiled, she's very kind in nature, so even as a hermit she often travels to help those she finds in her dreams. she's a dancer and has a very pretty appearance so 'wandering princess' is the title she got from traveling the other nations.

ironically, her nickname in fontaine is actually the rumored hermit, from her tendencies to almost never show up. people see her so little some are convinced that she doesn't actually exist.

her future dreams come into play in an interlude quest.

Mikoshi Miya (Transient Swordsman)

mommy. her name's miya bc i wanted it to match with maya

on the surface, she's a kshahrewar graduate who specializes in mechanics, and she specifically works on machines that can bridge the gap between vision holders and non-vision holders. she's pretty relaxed and sisterly, but at first she seems almost drawn in on herself.

in her past, she was trained as a swordsman by her father, a mikoshi himself. she was considered the greatest prodigy for her time, and she was 'destined for great things'. this was for a specific job that would need way too long to explain but related to this job is the fact that they're a bit of a problem for the fatui. this, and her mother's relationship to the fatui, culminated in someone attempting to subdue her mother with a very special fire made from delusions. however, they mistimed the mission, and instead caught a young miya and her father in the crossfire, which lead to her father's death and miya's hatred for the fatui and for visions.

no matter how much people told her that she was a once in a lifetime swordsman, and how her skill was almost completely unmatched, miya gave up swordsmanship. her skill never saved her father.

miya is intelligent, and always liked making gadgets (her first creation was a mechanical train set at the age of seven), so she instead focused her efforts on helping non-vision holders, including herself, by studying at the akademiya.

miya only gets her electro vision in her story quest, where she confronts her father's killer. she also decides to take up a sword again because of the quest :D

Irina (Witch of Thorns)

mother. that's my name yes but it kind of fits her. i go by yna anyway so i don't really see myself in her JFKJFSD if miya's past seems like a lot this woman has a whole document just about her lore......

to summarize, she's actually gold/rhinedottir's "accidental" creation, something too long to talk about but trust me on this. she's her first child in that regard, and rhine actually tried to raise her like a regular daughter.

they got separated in the cataclysm and irina ended up in mondstadt, which lead to her considering herself a mondstadter. fatui shenanigans happen with dottore and she changes her original appearance to become the witch of thorns, a witch specializing in an artificial flower with medicinal properties. she changes appearances every other decade and pretends she's the daughter of the last witch of thorns, all the way to the present.

miya and maya are her very real daughters though. maya resembles her true appearance more, while miya resembles how she was when she was younger.

(i also have two men who work under irina, yuuya and a runaway adeptus but their lore is like wayyy shorter than the three and these gi ocs are already taking up way too much of the post...)

HUGE LORE DUMP AHEAD.................... bc i need to vomit it out

Lunar Clan

the descendants of lilith's eldest, nyx.

while all demons are descendants of lilith, there is one uninterrupted line of daughters that are genetically clones of lilith herself. while their appearances do have variation, they all one defining trait: pure white hair. in my lore, white hair is a trait impossible to have if you're a pure founder. the only founders to naturally have this hair color are these clones, who are called lilith's avatars. makes you wonder how carla has white hair, though not purely white. doesn't that make him special?

there can only be one avatar born from a previous one in every generation, and any other child ends up as a regular founder. back then, this line of daughters were the royal family of the founder clan, then known as the lunar kingdom when all kingdoms were comprised of founders rather than the subspecies that arose from evolution.

they were overthrown in an event known as the fall of lunacy, a coup d'état arranged by the final queen, scylla's adviser. despite being overthrown, their connection to lilith and scylla's own sacrifices continued to keep them in an important noble position. their estate is located the closest to lilith's tomb, lilith's resting place, a garden of forget-me-nots the size of a town.

another special trait of the avatars is the ability to control and summon butterfly familiars, all with a unique appearance. they can also take up the butterfly's form.

all avatars are assigned epithets at one point in their lives. in their time as royal family, they were usually assigned their titles post-mortem, but afterwards their epithets tend to be assigned some time within their lives.

in order of appearance and birth.

Lilith ; Queen of the Night ; Lilith herself wasn't technically part of the Lunar Clan, as it only began upon the establishment of the Lunar Kingdom, long after her supposed death. Still, she was given the epithet due to her reign on Old Eden, characterized by her absolute control over all territories, like the all-encompassing embrace of night.

Queen Nyx ; Lunacy's Founder, the founder of the Lunar Kingdom and the first to take on the last name Lune. Lilith's eldest.

Queen Raikou ; The Silent Queen, the longest-reigning queen, second to only Lilith herself, ruling for 700 years compared to an average of 100 years. Her rule was characterized by its stability, though quickly overturned when the event known as the War of the Fallen occurred.

Queen Scylla ; The Children's Princess, the shortest-reigning queen, Raikou's daughter, and the final ruler of the Lunatic Dynasty. Becoming queen at a young age after her mother's death, she followed her adviser's ill-meaning advice due to the widespread famine in neighboring kingdoms, earning the peoples' ire and contributing to the successful coup d'état. That adviser's family became the reigning royal family up until Giesbach.

Zarya and Krone Lune ; The Dawn and the Dusk, a pair of identical twins. They are the first and only case of two avatars being born in one generation. Due to magic being the focus of the Demon World, Zarya's interest in medicine and biology was seen as a disgrace, especially compared to her twin sister, who excelled in magic and swordsmanship. Zarya was later exiled from the kingdom, though was reluctantly brought back upon the beginning of the spread of Endzeit. She managed to quell the disease's spread all the way until her disappearance, just before the War of Prophecy occurred, which trapped all Founders within the Pandemonium and allowed Endzeit to spread rampantly.

Cecilia Lune ; The Spring Bloom ; Zarya's daughter, the end to the line of avatars. Founders' eyes don't reflect light, and merely glow. Cecilia's eyes sparkled like stars. Hated, then loved by the people, who grieved her death for centuries.

She was known as the human among demons.

extra fact: the divider icon is the lunar clan's family emblem:3 it used to represent the lunar kingdom as a whole, but upon the fall of the dynasty it became associated with the former royal family instead.

anyway that's all this has gotten very long <3 thank you again for the tag ;w;
