what places do you think would excite hyth the most? do you think he can handle high temps ( thavnair/ul'dah ) or cold temps ( ishgard ) at all? what would be his favorite?

That is a very interesting question! Back in the ancient days Hythlodaeus was not like Azem, he didn’t get the chance to travel, he only knew the safety of Amaurot and what he saw in Elpis. So in a potential AU where Hythlodaeus gets to stay in the present world, he would like to travel. Let him go to a bustling city as Kugane, let him wear a kimono or hakama and examine all the foreign goods and foods. Let him experience things for the first time.

But to come back to your question, I think he is actually very sensitive to weather and temperature. Thanalan? Way too hot. Our mans is super pale and gets sunburned easily, also the desert is so bare of life, there is nothing to look at. Coerthas and Garlemald? You could put him in the thickest fur coat available and he would still freeze, though if he gets the chance he would always be the first to start a snowball fight.

As I have discussed with a friend, I think he would most likely settle down in a little hut just outside of Gridania. He likes the mild weather and the greens of the forest, he loves nature and all kinds of animals, so he would probably become a botanist. He would be a very open and friendly individual, but he has a very obvious aura of solitude when he is by himself. He doesn’t like to be alone, he had been separated from those he cared about for so long already.

Well, it seems like I have learned a *very* valuable lesson today: no matter how long I go without drawing this charming rascal, he has managed to dig such a deep nook in my heart that I am sure I will NEVER forget how to draw him lolol.

Honestly, it has been so long since I last drew him that I was all but sure that I had forgotten even the basic of how he looked.

Turned out I was wrong, but this is one of those time when I am actually happy to be utterly wrong.

So here you have him (probably peeking at his adored Dorothea, somewhere out of sight lololol).

Hope you will like this <3

Maybe I'll make a post on this at some point but like, something deeply fucked up about TNP and Po3 that people have totally forgotten about is how badly they try to whine that "Tigerstar Had Good Traits :("

Firestar does it, Brambleclaw does it, and they keep doing this after it becomes this GRAND irony that Firestar almost gets Tiger'd to death in a fox trap because he was too trusting. Bramble gets his pity award of keeping deputyship and then cries to his son about how No One Saw The Good In Tigerstar :(

And it's wiiiiild that no one else in this fandom has done anything with the fact that Leopardstar broke the Warrior Code to appoint Hawkfrost, who had no apprentice, an extremely aggressive and warmongering Tigerclone who says things like "Tigerstar wasn't the worst cat to look up to." ONLY qualifying trait was being kinda like Tigerstar.

And she practically did that the SECOND Mistyfoot went missing. And then Leopardstar continued to be one of the most violent and xenophobic leaders through Po3, joining with WindClan to attack ThunderClan.

What I'm getting at is that like, a few years ago, with books like "Blackfoot's Reckoning" and "Shadow in RiverClan" it's like they suddenly decided to retcon in a bunch of "redemption arcs" in hindsight. They just pretended like there was this grand high reckoning with TigerClan, when there literally wasn't, and if anything that caused SERIOUS problems for the cast that the authors didn't fully acknowledge as such.

And now ppl haven't actually read the main series and are just working with their recent memory of all these retcon books.

But TNP and PO3 are still there, and you can go and see the ACTUAL timeline where Leopardstar is really not apologetic at all, and Blackstar is a useful stooge for the very next wannabe dictator that strolls in, in spite of the new side content that COMPLETELY mischaracterized them for their plots to work.

Someone asked wcif these overalls, but the comment is gone, and I don't remember their account name.

Please remember to check and see if people are wcif friendly before asking them things and send your wcif's through the ask box. That way, others can find that item of cc in the wcif tags (which you should always check before asking) if they're looking for it too, and simblrs like myself don't have to repeat what we've already said. (hopefully🙈)

Here yuh go🍀

My dream for the Bees kiss is still that it happens during a moment of (relative) downtime both so they can just bask in the moment without needing to go deal with Something Else immediately afterwards and so they can kiss more than once.

I think with a lot of Visual Kei it's important to make a distinction between genre (as in musical category and history thereof) and scene (as in label environment, the production conditions, the musicians they work with and inspiring each other, the media and festivals and concerts and venues they appear at, fan culture, and such) because Vkei is a music scene without an underlying music genre tying it together, that's what makes it so hard to define musically.

Like yes a bunch of them play straight up dark wave and goth rock and post-punk, but have no points of contact to the goth scene, they're fully embedded in the vkei scene instead so i don't consider them goth. And then others are so very clearly visual, but have barely any contact to the vkei scene and are therefore not - Soft Ballet is in here, they're coming from a New Romantics background iirc.

It's not that easy with Buck-Tick though. Whether they can be considered vkei is muddy at best - very influential of course, but are you part of the scene you helped inspire? Andrew Eldritch would like a word with you.

And the ties to the goth scene are very clearly there. Not only because of Sakurai, Toll is also well connected (just watch his interview with Genet about this very question, even if i have a low opinion of that guy you can't deny Auto-Mod is central to the Japanese goth scene). And probably lots via Imai, though i don't know enough to continue here.

And sure some Buck-Tick albums have the goth sound, but not all. But then again, neither do The Cure.

ik most people on this website love to complain about dating and apps or whatever being like awkward or forced relationships and that can be true, like dating is for sure awkward, especially app dating, but also??? hot take i think it's fun. getting to know someone and discovering that u like them is fun. god knows ive been on plenty of shitty dates but when you go on one and it goes well?? you get the first date banter going??? and then you come home excited about where it's gonna go??? that's fucking amazing im sorry, i just can't relate to anyone who says they hate dating as a concept

I feel violence in my very bones this evening.

When I went out yesterday to do my KSP and PetSmart shopping, there wasn't a good chance to stop and buy lunch anywhere, so I just had some leftovers when I got home

I was within visual distance of a Jollibee but I was tired and had a lot to carry (got a new dish tray and a big cutting board... so heavy...) so I didn't make the journey

Now I'm sitting at home and still kind of like... wanting takeout lunch. Debating with myself whether I'd rather face the cold for yumyums or stay in and just eat yogurt

There's a Wendy's up the road, and a Tim Hortons. And two Filipino places, and an Asian market with cheap sushi, and a Subway, and... man. There's a lot of fast food places in the plazas near me. I am spoiled for choice

I love this new playthrough with Aranea, I am having even a bigger blast than my first time!

During my first run, I was still walking through the game absorbing the story and I was not done creating Aranea, so I was playing by the ear, so to speak; But now that I know her, who she is and where she comes from, I can actually play the game with a much clearer direction for her action and thought process and omg, certain scenes are just HILARIOUS

Like, for example, the moment I got Gale out of the runes, and I started talking with him, and he asks me this:

Gale: You are not versed in magic, are you?

and then you see the response for the Warlock, and all I can imagine is Aranea thinking:

Aranea: "Bitch (affectionate) , Do you know who my Patron is?????"

In the meanwhile, Mephisto, who has probably heard Gale loud and clear and has read Aranea's thoughts, could only react like this

Both Aranea and Mephisto can be *extremely* cocky when it comes to their powers (and rightly so).

So, when I saw this exchange, I was chuckling like a hen for a good five minutes afterwards.😂😂😂

Did you man beam Drizzle? If so, why not just pair up Rustle with Cranberry instead? I get for the amazing ship name but I'm curious about the choice /gen

I totally forgot Drizzle's original gender, but also, I really don't want to overthink it. I'm so tired of overthinking it. I wanted CranberryDrizzle funny ship name and it was getting exhausting to plan out where every pairing in several hundred cats would be getting their kits from

Rustle is going to die at some point after having two QR kittens, and Cranberrydrizzle is going to have 2 important litters (Sunstrike and Emberfoot in the first, Fernstripe in the second). I have done an exhausting amount of work (weeks of planning and hours of work at a time, scouring the wiki and facebook screenshots, redrawing tangles, reading through suggestions, writing out full posts of changes and creating new groups with their own histories) untangling broken fragments of family trees and like... I'm tired. No more shuffling. I deserve Funny Ship Name. is this too much to ask

Boy Drizzle is just the easiest answer. I'd like for Drizzle to just be transfem but I was also told to avoid cats being trans just to have kits, which is ALSO frustrating me at this point, I don't like this weight of "perfect representation" that's being put on me when I'M not even perfect representation as a living human queer.

Do I let Drizzle be transfem and "break a rule," or change them to a boy and "lose" a lesbian pairing? It feels gross to me to have fallen into a mindset where I'm treating queer relationships like quotas or rigid rulesets

I feel like if I 'get something wrong' (like forget the gender of a Missing Kit or a side character, or handwave 'where did these kits come from' with 'trans/queen's rights' without considering a real secret surrogate) I'm going to get smacked upside the head and be forced to hyperfocus on one small part of a massive project when I already have a million other things to work on.

So unfortunately the most honest answer I can probably give is that im tired. I'm really tired. Overthinking minor details before making every single tumblr post is draining me. I forgot the missing kit's original author-assigned gender and didn't scroll to the bottom of Onestar's wiki page to check it before posting. I like the ship name. Cranberrysplash somehow gets pregnant twice, but I was told to avoid trans bioparents, yet doing that is making things even harder after I had to do weeks of work to make a good tree in the first place

I'll figure out Drizzlefall's gender when they become relevant in some context

Why Yes.

It was time for me to rewatch Kingslaive again and HAVE MY FREAKING HEART TORN OUT OF MY CHEST JUST BY THE PROLOGUE ALONE.

POOR RAVUS.

POOR LUNA.

THOSE TWO BABIES.

OH MY HEART.

This game and story destroyed me in so many ways fml.

AND I AM READY TO BE DESTROYED AGAIN.

Seriously, no one can do angst like Squeenix.

that's why we love them.

AND NYX. DEAR LORD, NYX THE MOST PRECIOUS BEAN.

Also, fml, Lena Headey as Luna will always give me life.

And of course.

THE MAN HIMSELF. THE ONE AND ONLY JESTER THAT WE LOVE AND ADORE.

That glorious GLORIOUS magnificent bastard.

Also, fml, but I truly need to rewrite that first chapter I wrote.

I need to rework it a bit better and introduce Thalassa properly, because homegirl is Luscinia's bestie and they are two little shits together.

confession time: After sleeping on it, I actually think I miss the Joker Out guys a bit more than I miss Jere and crew atm. That might be because it has been longer since I've watched them live comparred to Käärijä ...

... but because of this I'm actually tempted to do something very scandalous *gasp - I know; how nonkääryle of me* and only go for Hamburg tomorrow in hopes that Joker Out will get some Europe dates this fall as well :'D

(and if they don't then I hope the Käärijä shows in germany won't sell out too quickly :'D)
