#I SORT OF THINK ITS FUNNY THIS IS JUST WHAT SHE WANTS...??!!!

[cappycapital]

Oh i sort of have an explanation for this!! hi its me :) Fandoms will often be known for / create a lot of content that is tonally the opposite the source material. Why? Not sure but I can think of some possibilities

'Hey we have that at home!' - Fandoms have the original source material already so the novelty of more of the same wears off after a while, If I want to watch breaking bad content that is the tone of breaking bad, well? I'll just watch breaking bad! Whereas if I want breaking bad CONTENT well, lets go find something a bit more novel, right? Let's get weird with it!

'Let's have fun with it!' - oftentimes creative types (I am one of then :3 ) really want to flex their creative muscles! They wanna Put Those Guys In Situations, we already KNOW what My Little Pony Character Twilight Sparkle would do if presented with too many sweets to eat or a friendship problem, but how would she fare against say- a plague ? Now THAT'S where all the meat is!! Unexplored and ready to dig your teeth into!!

'Oh well that's surprising...' - It could easily be just that content which contrasts heavily with the source material is extremely attention grabbing! 'WOAH is that hank hill in a dress!?'- and so with the attention comes more people noticing THAT kind of content in the fandom and creating more of it, or just letting whatever algorithm the art is hosted on to keep boosting and boosting it until it becomes widely known! I find it interesting!!! Of course this is more or less just wanting to brain vomit a little bit, at the end of the day it's a rather funny phenomenon

its kinda crazy to me how many people i seen call kab manipulative and treating it was entirely malicious in its intent, yet i see very few people pointing out that derap is also. being manipulative and expecting so much of the people he trusts— like "trust me or you just die" is such an insane test to do and its crazy bc i do nawt believe he'd react well if pangi or zam or whoever tested him like he tests them constantly

im not saying kab isnt manipulative or that shes faultless bc she has done a lot wrong and a lot to hurt the people around her— esp zam. but its interesting bc her and derap just dont seem to be held to the same standards by the wider fandom even though they both seem to default to manipulation and attempted control so they feel secure w their friends and allies.

it isnt done w malicious intent, but they are still hurting the people around them and expecting far too much from the people theyve latched onto. they dont seem to understand unconditional loyalty is something that doesnt ACTUALLY exist, and it is not the exact same as having a friend u know u can rely on consistently no matter what. even having a friendship like mapicc and zam, mapicc and ro, vi and subz, or any of the likes ISNT abt never disagreeing or never acting against them in any situation ever.

its trust built over time and from experiencing lifesteal together. its about winning together, losing together, fighting side by side, and knowing when to stand up for urself and to fight against them if they are doing smt that truly hurts u and/or goes directly against your own morals and beliefs. it isnt abt "youll trust me no matter what and just accept it even if im doing smt i know will upset u", its abt knowing that u can still be friends at the end of the day. that, come a new season, or a new arc, they are still someone u can have fun w and rely on to continue to be themselves w you.

their attempts to force a bond like that will only hurt themselves and their relationship w the people around them in the long run, but i feel like this is a lesson theyll need to learn w time and by experiencing it themselves bc theyre too lonely and desperate to be by someones side currently to realize it yet.

edit : had a funny realization that there is ONE relationship on the server that seems to be exactly what kab and derap are searching for, and its mane and flame. they want and expect the same loyalty from their teammate that flame has for mane. flame goes directly against his own morals and and beliefs bc mane asks it of him, and passively follows down manes path of destruction simply bc theyre teammates. he doesnt even think mane is right, but that doesnt matter simply bc the only thing he cares abt on LS is mane. he likes other people like pangi, pentar, and zam but he would kill just abt anyone if it was part of manes plan simply bc he has no path of his own— he hasnt found himself yet, so hes following mane nd his ideals.

reread tiphs dialog recently. i love them lots

[deathreversed]

Many people have confessed similar feelings to Nier, enough that she doesn't care to keep track. It's always something similar, some echo of 'I have feelings for you.' Love, adoration, lust, affection, it all runs together to the point where she can't be bothered to care. If so many people said it, yet not a single person meant it, then why should she ever listen? Or perhaps that's not entirely true, as there's been a small handful of people who said they cared and meant it, just a few among the countless liars. One of them is here in this city, the captain who saved her, the young man who she would do anything for. She isn't going to let him go.

"I-it's not your fault, Mika," she says, not able to meet the other girl's eyes. "It's just been... There's a lot going on, lately... A-and you couldn't have known..." There's a lot Mika doesn't know, Nier realizes. A lot about her, which is why she couldn't return those feelings, even if she wanted to. Mika doesn't know her, she only knows what Nier has shown her.

"You shouldn't... feel like that towards me," she says, rising to her feet. "I haven't always been honest with you... I don't know if I can be. Most people..."

She trails off, not sure where her words are headed, not sure what she should be saying. Part of her wants to bask in Mika's love, to accept it for all its worth and fill the hole in her chest, but another part knows it wouldn't be real, and that it would only hurt the other girl in end. Looking up at Death, the primal beast only shrugs her shoulders, unable to offer any support save her presence. "It is... up to you, I think..." says Death, her words directed at Nier. "I shall not tell you what you can and cannot do... Perhaps... this one is different...?"

Nier's gaze just falls to the floor, and she wrings her hands. "I... need to think about it," she says. "If you want to see me again, I'd like that too, but..."

More uncertainty- she doesn't know how to handle this influx of unknown emotions. Nobody's confessed to her like this since what feels like a lifetime ago, and nobody's ever meant it like she thinks Mika does. It's a little funny, she thinks, to be so afraid of the rejection of others, and then to be the one rejecting now. She was afraid her little drone-doppelganger had ruined her relationship with Mika, but perhaps it's simply her.

"I need to sort out my thoughts," she says, finally. "I-I'm sorry I can't give you a better reply than that, but... This is... You're important to me, Mika. I want to make sure I don't regret whatever happens..."

Bowing her head, Nier turns for the door. For a moment, her eyes linger on Mika's outstretched hand, but she turns away before the desire becomes too great. "You can send me a text message if you like, I'm not going to ignore you or anything. And if you want to spend time together, I'd like that too... But for now, I think I need a little time to myself... I'll, um... I'll see you later...?"

As Nier leaves, Death lingers, floating closer to Mika. "We shall meet again, I think..." she says, gathering the messy tea tray. "If my beloved did not care for you... You would know."

Without expounding, Death turns to follow her evoker, leaving a trail of dark fog as she leaves the room. And then Mika is left alone.

"N-No I know! I'd never hate you no matter what Nier! I just..."

Once again she didn't have a clue what to say. Regardless of how everything turned out the most important goal was to make sure she was happy. As horrific as everything was that was Mika's number one goal, no matter the cost. Although hearing Uzi said something about their relationship does get a twitch of the eye from Mika the part afterwards takes full control over her brain.

As much as she didn't want to hear come from Nier's lips there was always a chance it was going to happen. Worst of all, no amount of preparing for it seemed to help.

"I see..." A miserable thing to hear but Mika tried her best to keep her cool, standing up to pick up the tray that clattered to the floor.

"I'm glad you found someone you like."

That was really all she could say without turning into a sobbing mess. Mika knew acting rashly, pressing someone that had already been through so much for more answers was going to get her nowhere. But every fiber of their being wanted more answers. She wanted to know when, why, and where she went wrong, like some detective combing through a crime scene to find out the killer's identity. It wasn't fair in her mind, even if that was just how life worked.

But on the other side of the spectrum if she really did find that special someone, then she knew that person would take care of her. More then Mika probably ever could.

And that's what stung the most.

"I'd like you to stay but I understand if you want to leave. We all had a pretty long day today, with everything that happened between us three so maybe we just need some rest. Not to mention I did make things awkward didn't I?" Her voice quivered throughout the entire sentence, taking longer then usual to pick up the tray and put it on her dresser

"Clumsy me, always screwing things up as usual..." Still she made a effort to look back towards Nier and Death, staying as strong as possible to keep her expression.

"...If you do leave, you two wouldn't mind still talking with each other right? I-I mean we're all gonna be in Spirale for awhile. And even though you have feelings for someone else I'd really hate to never see you again." A hint of a smile, holding her hand out to the erune in case she needed it from her spot on the bed.

"There's still a lot I want to talk to both of you about but I'll just do it in a different light."

i would like to find a yarn color that is roughly close to this shade of orange:

as the doll is going to be using dark blue eyes and the contrast would look pretty good (ty to my friend for helping me narrow down colors here lol) but well. you would not believe how hard it is to find a more muted light orange. i have been to specialty yarn sites. if i did either of the two multi-colored yarns, it would be for highlights/still mostly orange just with other tones in there :) if u have specific opinions on this please comment bc good god i hate yarn shopping for this.

[alphaketoglutaricacid]

Also i find her naive desperation (cant find the right words for it) to see her adventuring crew as sworn friends wholl go thru hell together even tho shes the newest addition soooo telling. Shes had trouble making friends her whole life she was really hoping! And even the ones who left are willing to go to hell for her n the crew so its not like its not true. Its just not like how it is in her mangas. I think theres a good chance she n namari become like closer after the end of the series.

very importrant oc diagram

more in depth descriptions of this stuff below ig

omg same trauma - sympathy and respect but also acknowledging youre not the same. propably the most normal out of the three options. you know very intimate stuff about this person but you have never met and its weird. you live your life normally but sometimes you wonder what it would be like to meet him

i will never be as cool - constantly comparing yourself to him to the point a big chunk of your personality still revolves around your connection to him (in ryous case this is mixed with seeing shiro as a sort of idealised perfect father figure despite never having interacted with the guy before)(its really weird and he tries to be secretive abt it but the others knows anyway)(like kiddo they can tell)(youre not subtle at all). he is soooo good and so pure and perfect and you will never live up to that no matter how hard you try. there must be something wrong with you

gender dysphoria - what it says on the tin. you have this guys memories and voice and body and face and it makes you want to scream and cry and kill him and bury his body in the woods so nobody can ever find it

(also to clear things up this diagram and the explanations are written from a point in the timeline before the whole 'stickbug gets mind controlled' thing so the clones havent met shiro yet)(also also obv this is pretty simplified)

future for scientist, bound for cadaver, and monster for both of them? 🤔

future: What's the worst possible future for your OC? Are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? Are they even aware it's a possibility?

SO unfortunately for scientist i think the worst outcome for her is. achieving immortality FJNFJFN despite that being the one thing shes working towards yk. i think deepdown she knows this but shes still pursuing it bc shes basically in denial abt it... i think her being immortal would rly enhance some of her worst traits. like she already feels disconnected/dofferent/isolated from other people (which is partially why shes pursuing immortality in the first place) but if she got it it would just be. soooo much worse. i truly believe if she did become immortal shed fuck off to like. the most isolated place on earth and shed never talk to another person ever again. Which she might think is a good thing but it absolutely would not be

bound: Has your OC ever been imprisoned or captured? What happened? How did they get out? Did the experience leave any scars?

soo this one is difficult bc cadavers backstory im changing my mind on it majorly atm... previously i did have him being arrested and held in prison for a while and then being broken out/recaptured by scientist but im not sure if i still want all that .. the like. nature of his ... Whole thing has changed a lot since i originally came up with her so im not sure if that still works. like it Could but idk... so this one is a bit of a weird question to answer atm bc i havent fully decided yet... i suppose depending on how much control you view cadaver as having you could say like. living with scientist is imprisonment but i do think if cadaver actually wanted to get out it probably could. SO idk... also scars r also being reconsidered in my mind bc previously i had him Getting scars but now im not sure if that actually makes sense with the healing thing... but the issue is one of the main reasons i made him is bc i think autopsy scars r cool 😭😭😭 so i dont know...

monster: Is your OC monstrous in any way? Is there something that makes them monstrous? Are they aware of their own monstrosity? Do they accept it or reject it?

scientist: YAY so i think scientist has always felt inherently other. but i think meeting cadaver RLY changed her for the worst like. she literally regularly murders another person. and yeah he gets better but you dont just like... even if its not permanent you cant just become ok with killing someone without being a little bit off. yk. i think physically shes human (unless i decide that she Does take on the whole possession thing. constant flipflopping in connorland) but i think mentally she goes from being like. kind of a misanthropic loner to being like. she basically simultaneously views cadaver as an ideal that shes jealous of (bc he has the one thing she wants, and bc she feels a sort of connection w it bc they have like.. similar but different motivations. yk...). and if the only person youve ever felt any sort of similarity to is a corpse possessed by ambiguous force i dont think youre like . you know ...

cadaver: so this is soo fun bc ive actually been considering having cadaver a bit more monstrous like. physically. bc obviously shes not human anymore BUT i think itd be fun if the possession had some physical effects on him... currently he just has the extreme healing/resurrection abilities but id imagine hed probably have some sort of enhanced strength as well. and i just love when possession has a physical component... but yes. EMOTIONALLY i think cadaver is weirdly in denial abt being a monster. like. i think she views the original part of her the one that died as like. the monstrous one. it feels more human now that its possessed bc prior to her death she was like. Somewhat similar to scientist in that she was very isolated but it was less of a choice if this makes sense. like scientist consciously isolates herself from ppl bc she just Assumes that they arent like. sorry im turning this into being about scientist again DJFNJF cadaver go lay at the bottom of the pool or something im busy. but yk she has that like. a view of herself thats seperate from other people/from humanity so she just doesnt bother talking to other people bc she assumes they would never understand. yk. so it is A choice to isolate from ppl (altho she also like..does not have social skills at all. as a result of this choice. so yk...) but w cadaver cadaver was alllways desperate for connection but in a like. rather than searching for One specific like. Unattainable kind of connection he wanted anything. and thats why she was so enthusiastic abt the connection bc it meant there would always be like. Someone. yk. and obv post connection shes a lot more like. confident and Able to make friends despite being physically more disconnected from humanity if this makes sense. so yes. i think cadaver is Literally more monstrous than scientist but i dont think thats how he feels abt himself at all.

. (tw heterosexuality)

[yoshistory]

i feel like at work there's an unspoken rule somehow that everyone KNOWS im transgender but nobody will say or ask if i'm transgender or what i want to be called. most people say when i DO reveal that i am is because they dont want to say the wrong thing (i dont mind at all unless someone's being malicious).

i think the OTHER part of people who know but dont ask is because they know but dont want to be cornered into ACTUALLY respecting me. because if its ambiguously known then they can she/her/girl/woman/lady me all they want. but if i say im a man and make what i want known THEN they'll get in trouble if they decide they want to #girl me.

[salsflore]
