#I have no clue who she U_U

[junk-heart]

Omg can you do ryuk slender or Lyra the inhuman or sky derman!!!!

Here's a quick drawing of Lyra^^

(couldn't find the canon design for the hair so I mashed all of them together)

[friendlyengie]

oh hey, speaking of ocs actually, some proper updated refs for these guys! Id like to get a collection of drawings detailing specific details and introducing their classes more properly, but for now, I’ve got these! Character ramblings under the cut for anyone interested!

The Decoy is a support class built around getting someone’s attention and being a nuisance for as long as possible. It’s not a very damage-heavy or strong class, but focuses more on being tough to catch than anything else. The Decoys are both circus themed runaways who insist on being in costume despite the fact that the class is not inherently circus-themed. Armani is loud, friendly, but kind of an acquired taste as far as whether or not he’s actually enjoyable to be around goes. He’s learned to utilize a few decades worth of aggression issues by simply avoiding losing his shit until he’s on the field and allowed to beat the shit out of people. He’s marginally successful at holding out until this opportunity. Marcel is a mime of few words, opting to obnoxiously emote to communicate before he’ll speak directly to you. He’s quick on his feet and good at appearing like he’s got his head on his shoulders, but you can only be so normal when you’re a man whose decided to operate as a mercenary in a full face of performance makeup.

The P.I. (Investigator isn’t the technical title, but it filled the space better) is a pretty standard offense class. She’s got some robot eyes with some cool recording and projecting abilities, but I’ll be honest, I don’t have a lot filled out to make the P.I. An interesting class yet, ive been focusing more on Hattie as a character. U_U She’s a pretty empty-headed but charismatic lady. She operates with a lot of confidence, regardless of her skill. She’s a damn good investigator, great with puzzles and working through clues, but when she doesn’t have a metaphorical magnifying glass in her hands and a case to crack she’s as dumb as a bag of rocks and refuses to listen to anyone trying to point it out. She talks like an old noir detective despite it being the 60s, and speaks in extravagant metaphors that don’t really make sense if you think about them longer than three seconds.

I really love how you draw Karkat and Calliope. You've already talked about how the other relationships within the POABPCL, so I was wondering if you could talk about Callikar in more depth as well.

Heehee okay so the short reasoning is that first of all, Karkat is also highly reminiscent of Caliborn, so there's Calliope's natural attraction there. But also Calliope desperately wants to experience a flushed romance, and Karkat is a crazy person who can't keep his quadrants straight. Which, for Calliope, would actually be a plus instead of a minus????

But yeah, for the Caliborn similarities, apart from the grey text and (mostly) capital letters and general cantankerousness and candy red blood and random textual callbacks to shit Karkat says:

CG: OK I DON'T SEE HOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BECOMING FRIENDS IF YOU RECOIL FROM MY OLIVE BRANCH LIKE I'M WIGGLING A GNARLED TREE MONSTER'S DICK IN YOUR DIRECTION. [...] uu: HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE BECOMING FRIENDS. IF YOU RECOIL FROM MY OLIVE BRANCH. uu: LIKE I'M FLAILING A WITHERED MUMMY'S SEVERED LIMB IN YOUR DIRECTION.

CG: THE FACT THAT YOU ARE DUMB CG: IS AN IMMUTABLE FACT I AM STATING FOR THE RECORD. CG: IT DOES NOT MEAN ANIMOSITY IS WHAT IS TAKING PLACE HERE. [...] uu: AND THE FACT THAT I MIGHT NOT CLuE YOu INTO YOuR FATE ALL THE TIME. uu: DuE TO MY AGGRAVATED APATHY OVER THE MATTER. uu: IS AN IMMuTABLE FACT. I AM STATING FOR THE RECORD. uu: IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT GIVING A SHIT IS WHAT IS TAKING PLACE HERE.

Did you know they both weirdly have a thing for right angles?

DAVE: i dont want to see your lines making any right angles do you understand KARKAT: IN MY MIND'S EYE I AM PICTURING A BEAUTIFUL LATTICE OF LINES AND COMPARTMENTS, INTERLOCKING WITH SUBLIME PRECISION AT NINETY DEGREE ANGLES. KARKAT: I IMAGINE THIS MODULAR RETICULATION AS AN ELEGANT VESSEL, IF YOU WILL, FOR THE GRAND SYNTHESIS OF OUR SHARED SHIPPING DREAMS.

So yeah, you know, they've got some similarities! Enough to fuel some initial cherubic romantic interest, I feel.

But obviously, cherubic romance is primarily - if not exclusively - pitch. Calliope expresses this in a way that makes it very much sound like it's a setup that her happy ending does, in fact, involve her finding a matesprit.

UU: thoUgh i trUly wish i were capable of those feelings. UU: perhaps the fact that i am not is why the topic fascinates me so. UU: and why i have been prone do indUlge in sUch... UU: fancifUl visUalizations. UU: of yoUr people's lovely bright red relationships. UU: they mUst be nice. u_u

Personally, I think that cherubs "can't experience redrom" the way humans "can't experience blackrom". In that, y'know. ;)

But let's move from Calliope's side from a moment and talk about Karkat. Hey, do y'all remember how he had a crush on a different Space player? (The fact that Karkat actually totally had a crush on Jade, and continued to think incredibly fondly of her for years after the fact, to the point of using one of her passwords as the password to his dream hive, gets lost in the melange of ~yaoi~ is honestly one of the reasons I'm not a fan of DaveKat).

CCG: I'M GOING TO VOMIT. CCG: I'M MAKING A MENTAL NOTE TO SLAP MYSELF THREE HOURS FROM NOW, FOR BEING ENOUGH OF A SAP TO START DEVELOPING RED FEELINGS FOR A DUMB ANNOYING HUMAN, IF I'M READING BETWEEN THE LINES CORRECTLY. FCG: I JUST SLAPPED MYSELF! I REMEMBERED MY LAME NOTE TO MYSELF FROM THREE HOURS AGO, AND THEN SLAPPED MYSELF SPECIFICALLY TO MOCK YOU. FCG: IT STINGS TOO, YOU'LL FEEL IT IN A WHILE. AND THEN THE GHOST OF PAST ME WILL CRY.

Hussie's commentary on this is also fucking hilarious, by the way:

First, by defending Jade like this, Future Karkat is virtually making the case to his own past self to give her a chance, and to try to acknowledge that his aggression toward her is masking romantic attraction. If that wasn't nuts enough, the altercation doubles as an actual confession of this to Jade, which she now has to bear in mind as she goes forward befriending this guy. Like most other shouting matches Karkat has with himself, it's a complete free-for-all of self-owns and eyebrow-raising psychological revelations. And yet, in the totality of this clusterfuck, it's probably about as sufficient as anything else he could have done to get her to start giving the friendship a chance. How do you sidle out of something like this? You don't. This miserable basket case needs all the help he can get.

But this is another example of Karkat's horrible problem with mixing his quadrants and sending out all sorts of mixed signals, which he lambastes himself for later RE: Terezi.

FCG: IS IT?? TELL ME, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU TREATED HER IN A WAY THAT COULD BE OBJECTIVELY CONSTRUED AS A FORM OF BLACK SOLICITATION? CCG: THAT'S JUST CCG: NO, THAT'S HOW WE'VE ALWAYS ROLLED TOGETHER. IT'S LIKE CCG: SPIRITED PLATONIC CONTENTION. CCG: TOTALLY NORMAL TERRITORY IN A HEALTHY MATESPRITSHIP. FCG: YEAH, A *HEALTHY* ONE, NOT ONE INVOLVING A DEMENTED LOUDMOUTH WHO CAN'T KEEP HIS SHIT UNDER CONTROL. FCG: LET ME ASK YOU, HOW MUCH OF THAT ANIMOSITY IS INNOCENT "PLATONIC RAGE"? FCG: COULD IT BE THAT SUBCONSCIOUSLY YOU WANT TO PUSH THINGS WITH HER ONTO CALIGINOUS TURF, MAYBE SEE HOW THINGS WORK OUT THERE? FCG: SEE IF YOU CAN HAVE YOUR GRUB, AND CULL IT TOO?? FCG: THAT WAY YOU HAVE HER ALL TO YOURSELF!

And even his "confession" to jade has shades of this, as he basically forced her to auspicetize between himself and... himself. Just a really messy guy who can't keep his quadrants straight. I've already talked before about how this would be completely fine for Eridan, who is literally too bad at social shit to notice and is just happy for the attention, but... doesn't that seem like it would work for Calliope, whose fundamental attraction model is based in pitch?

And to really get into this, we should also talk about Karkat's taste in movies. The three posters he has hanging up in his room are for Serendipity, Hitch, and 50 First Dates. Between the three of them, it becomes really clear that Karkat is really into the idea of soul mates - of finding a romantic partner that just kind of perfectly clicks with you and all your idiosyncracies, with whom the romance is natural, and brings out the best in both partners.

Serendipity most obviously, as the entire movie is practically a treatise on destiny and fate (and also, if you're only going to watch one, watch this one - it gets namedropped twice in the comic and I genuinely think HS draws like 30% of its DNA from it). Hitch's A-plot couple is widely considered the worse one, but the B-plot couple turn out to be perfect for each other - all the guy's lame, embarrassing aspects just happen to be what she finds adorable, and he just needed a courage boost and chance to be noticed by her. And 50 First Dates features a guy in Hawaii who loves taking visiting tourists on whirlwind romances, but is terrified of commitment, meeting a girl who can't make new memories - functionally rendering every date their first from her perspective - and it's really sweet. It doesn't even make you want to punch Adam Sandler at all. Like, not even a little bit.

In any case, what this says to me is that, while he still needs to undergo character development to be ready for it, the romance Karkat should eventually end up with is one where he doesn't have to compromise who he is, warts and all.

A lot of Karkat's more common fandom pairings tend to downplay, or even outright forget about, how genuinely uncomfortable it is to experience Karkat's nutso vascillation. Even if the edge is taken off via moirallegiance, Karkat is still the sort of messy guy who tells his flushed crush to "set the table on [his] bulge for their candle light hate date." Jade clearly isn't a fan of being treated rudely, while Terezi eventually gets driven off by the mixed signals he puts off... but what if there was a species who primarily experiences pitch attraction, who would find Karkat's frequent dips into black-coded flirtation hot?

And also... Karkat is obviously Calliope's favorite character troll...I mean, she's got his symbol as her cufflinks. And also:

CG: I THINK THIS SUBJECT IS BEYOND A LOT OF PEOPLE'S GRASP BUT I KNOW A LOT ABOUT IT, NOBODY EVER REALLY WANTS TO TALK TO ME ABOUT IT THOUGH. AG: Whoa really? Oh no shit, REALLY???????? CG: OK, MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T HAD THEIR LOBE STEM CAUTERIZED ARE CAPABLE OF FEELING THE TWO PRIMARY EMOTIONS, HATE AND PITY. CG: PITY IS OF COURSE JUST THE TONED DOWN VERSION OF THE CENTRAL EMOTION, HATE. CG: AND ALL THE NUANCES OF PITY MANIFEST AS VARIOUS OTHER KINDS OF FEELINGS LIKE WHATEVER CHEMICAL REACTIONS TRIGGER MATING FONDESS OR THE MYSTERIOUS FORCES THAT ARE BEHIND MOIRALLEGIANCE.

And:

UU: actUally, i have written hUndreds of pages examining the striking differences between hUman and troll romance, as well as reprodUctive habits, as the comparison makes for a marveloUs case stUdy in xenobiocUltUral differences. UU: as long as i am sharing specUlation with yoU, perhaps yoU woUld like to read my essays? UU: i coUld even paste each page right here in sUccession, and allow yoU to read them back to back to back to back to back to back! ^u^ TT: Oh hell no. UU: ah. UU: yes, yoU're right of coUrse. i'm probably getting carried away as UsUal. UU: forgive my enthUsiasm, it's jUst that i so rarely have anyone to talk to who shares my passion for these matters.

They could both be SO ANNOYING about quadrants and romance together. It would be beautiful.

Baby Caboose being a Espurr would be cute but honestly any lil baby calling Ingo and Emmet “uncle” will be cute

Hi I meant to reply to this ask MONTHS ago when it first got in my inbox, but I held off because I wanted to build up to the Caboose reveal.

(For those who don't know, I rolled on a random number generator to determine what pokemon Caboose would be)

But i got busy with other projects, and I honestly don't know if I have the motivation to do what I initially planned. And I don't know when I'll return to doing more submas stuff. HOWEVER I felt REALLY GUILTY leaving all of you guys hanging with what pokemon was in the egg, and somehow you, my dear asker, managed to GET IT RIGHT with NO CLUES. GOLD STAR I AM DEEPLY IMPRESSED.

Meet Caboose the Espurr. She knows everything about trains from reading Ingo's and Emmet's minds while she was still in her egg. She also speaks in the Third Person and makes train noises when she's excited. She is the tiniest creature and I love her very much.

Very sorry for those of you who wanted Joltik U_U

[dnangelic]

@kirakiras asked : ∧,,,∧ （ ・ω・）hi. 　 ( つ🕯️O 　 と＿)_) i have to send this back of course, if you'll take it u_u if they have thoughts // send me 🕯️ to hear my character's inner thoughts about your character.

' ... i don't get her . ' and maybe that's where everything both started and ended , his very own utter speechlessness over her person and her behaviors . far beyond every failed initial flirtation was the deep mystery of her function ; just what sort of idea was he meant to have of her , anyways ? somebody who hadn't the first clue over his identity and didn't express the slightest interest in his heists or escapades . someone who had slowly come to recognize him regardless .

--- or was that just another trick of the mind ?

what sensation that had begun to be fostered at the thought of her was nothing like one-sided loathing . he understood his role and its every limitation : the only thing he could ever do was impress and imprint , but mimiko seemed largely immune to that sort of thing . the careful craft of a phantom thief legend collapsed at her feet , and while she hadn't so much as attempted to dismantle it by herself , it left its bearer at a vanishing loss . we're still at such different ends , after all .

candy apple crafts and the simplicity of wanting to , then wearing a particular shirt . he couldn't even imagine it , living like that , the purpose of an artwork's existence one of both witness and witnessing ; the self-chosen purposes of his own shallow and vacant beyond grand , spectacular night-time thefts . yet even if she seemed the sort to be readily capable of both listening and thinking beyond her otherwise denied sights and attentions , dark would never speak of his various circumstances ; no part of him wished to be pondered .

was it better , thus , to be nothing more than a vanishing stranger or a brief , fleeting dream ? he doesn't know why he might have craved an ounce of her gaze in the first place . just as he was sure that he was to her , she should have been nothing more than one person to him . and yet , it was still the first time that anything like this had ever happened . maybe that was why --- the hungry echoes and dissatisfied pangs of his empty insides worsened .

( dark ... are you okay ? )

' i feel like i'm getting mixed messages . '

( huh ? from eto-san ? but --- i don't think it's anything that complicated . is it because of the apple ? you gave her candy , so it's only right that she gave you something back too , isn't it ? although ... she did put some of what you gave her into the candy that she gave to me ... )

' that's exactly why --- ! ... ugh , forget it . in any case , as long as you're there , everything should be fine . '

( wha --- me ?! but what am i supposed to do ?! )

' just be yourself , daisuke ! i'm counting on you ! '

[mikuhats]

Rk update though she hasnt come for basically a month and we have no clue where she is :-( she was here every day all winter, all last summer, but this spring shes up and left. This doesnt necessarily mean anything bad happened to her, but it still makes me really sad that shes gone, she could very well come back at a later point, its absolutely not unheard of for stray cats to vanish and then randomly come back, but i miss her and i hope shes ok u_u i think the influx of new random cats probably made her uncomfortable, but our basement is for her and no one else ... not that she knows that . I hope she comes back ! If not, if something did happen to her, she lives on thru her babies link and zelda , who we took in .

[theultimatekamehamehavoc]

Yeah! After reading that analysis on his character, I can definitely see the tragedy in him. Dang. All these little losers have so much baggage!!! No one can catch a break in Danganronpa, can they u_u Thus, I shall ensure this little Leon has a good life. That he makes friends, obtain hugs, has the sillies, try and fail to get the attention of some girls cus he's a lame middle schooler with lacking charisma, also obtain some happiness, and maybe some cheese crackers too for good measure unless he's lactose intolerant which well... he can just have lactose free cheese though if he doesn't like cheese, he can just get something else like some cookies or something Can't guarantee for my OTHER au (Danganronpa Overgrowth) that has him and the whole gang in it though I haven't touched that one in a bit (aka a few months! golly...) but I really DO need to. My brain is just all over and scattered and it do be like that! But, I shall ensure that I do him justice no matter what! Same with the others since, even though Byakuya IS my favorite, I do really like the first Danganronpa game as a whole despite the whole franchises flaws and shortcomings! Even the other games too which I might add kiddie versions of them too though I have no clue. Same with adding Canon which I DO know is like, Leon's cousin or something who's a stalker I think? Bit foggy on that but I know she's kinda creeping on him and all that. Dunno if I could make that silly shenanigans in this au and I only know that much about Canon as a whole but maybe she could be mentioned in passing? Not sure! And, whenever I do touch on Overgrowth again, I am happy for suggestions there too!! Also am glad I gave happiness to you, Leon Lore Master (tm)! I like sparking joy in others! :)

AAAAAAAA! I finally finished this post that's been camping out in my drafts for freaking months! Let's gooooo!!!! Here are a small selection of the middle schoolers. Took me a while but I refined some of them. For now, it's this cluster but the others will appear soon! I swear!

Also, though they are open for some change, I got some explanations for all of them. Makoto: Pretty basic. Just him with a hoodie upgrade. I also gave him a bracelet as well. Had this idea of well, since Makoto and Sayaka new each other in middle school, maybe they get aqquainted more in this new canon and give each other friendship bracelets! In the killing game setting, if I go with this idea for this au, it can be a bit of a betrayal too cus like, she did a bad thing but also GASP! The bracelets! How could she! In a happy timeline/reimagining Danganronpa as a shitty kids show, it could just be wholesome. One other thing about Makoto's design that I'd like to note is his Band-Aid and acne. For the Band-Aid, just thought it'd be fun. Also, it mirrors someone else's design that I have that I will showcase soon. It's cute imagining Makoto carrying these band-aids around though cus he's in that awkward middle schooler phase which makes him more clumsy. He doesn't like it. Kyoko: Okay. Just stole her entire vibe from the Danganronpa Kirigiri novels. Here. Proof. Just drew her worse. May give her a more original outfit but for now, this is it.

Byakuya: Yeah. He was absurdly easy. Just gave him a silly sweater vest, shorts, and some goofy ass socks. I might improve this design later on but for now, this is his look as well. Leon: Leon was trickly and easy because his outfit was simple to translate into but also, he had a completly different look at some point in his youth that changed cus girls or something. Not the most well versed in the Leon lore so if anyone can educate me on this, I'm happy to know more. But like, for now, this is his design of just like, itty bitty punk boy until I figure out if he should look differently due to childhood factors. I, at the very least, cut his hair down as a buzz cut though to emphasis the fact that he's still deep in the baseball stuff, even if he may not like it as much by this point. Maybe he's in the transitional period from his old baseball days to his canon design Sayaka: She's basically the same with some added little bits. Made her skirt pink this time for fun and gave her a matching pink bow too! The main extra thing is the friendship bracelet idea mentioned earlier with Makoto in which I gave her a green one to match Makoto's outfit and energy. Thought it'd be a nice touch! Again though. All designs are open for change!

[bard-twins]

Ohhhh~

What romance trope do you think fits Himmel, Venti and Heizou?

Venti

Sauce: @naeruns

Angst suits him the most. All those sufferings he had to go through to see his beloved die countless of times and reincarnate as he goes look for them is my cup of tea mhmm

psst read my “the day you vanished with the stars”—

•••

Himmel

Sauce: @scarletofspring

Yeah it’s obvious this would be my pick if you read all my previous himmel works lmao.

Aside from this recovering trope, we also have the classic childhood friends to lovers. One of my fave tropes <3 bcs the bond they have deepened and developed, mutual pining, and the tension is just mwah

Sauce: @dreadelion

•••

Heizou

Sauce: @crownjevvel

Heizou inviting reader over to the police station and piece all the clues together as reader gets excited and amazed how cool heizou is for solving the issue

Sauce: @mageyalook

It’d be fun to see this with how reader genuinely admires heizou’s skills and talents when it comes to solving complex cases

And of course this

Sauce: @retquits

Im not a big fan of enemies to lovers but i shall let this pass bcs of plot purposes on that one heizou fic im working on lmao

Heizou doesn’t necessarily raised his fist against them but he battles them through wits and smarts bcs he stands up to his principle of violence is a no-no unless it’s necessary. He enjoys poking fun of reader who easily gets pissed off LMAO

•••

Bonus:

Kosma + Senti + Venti

(base on this hc of mine about genshin counterpart of kosma and senti being part of celestia. Now shhh never question those who copium for playable kosma and senti in genshin u_u)

Sauce: @refrainbow

This trope but kosma + senti proteccs reader from venti cuz he bad and sussy

Since we know genshin is not 1:1 copy of some honkai characters imma start and say that kosma will be ooc from the kosma we know. Ehem he’s gonna be a “mastermind”. Cunning and decisive, but protective of reader because of a certain incident that occurred 500 years ago

Senti is still senti who’s loud, boastful, whiny, wants to be the center, and the scammer we know and love. Is clingy to reader and wants her for herself but she doesn’t mind sharing you with kosma lol. They have the same goal of protecting you from venti as well as from celestia

Now pls check all these artists’ profiles and give em the likes and follows they deserve

[jimjamthehorrorman]

-will put others before myself, especially people I care about. I often struggle to express my emotions properly. I enjoy horror (duh), rock and metal, psychology, art and games (any sort, really, as long as I don't need to run too much because my knee's BUSTED). I'm also a real life gremlin and need to feel protected otherwise I get s(m)ad U_U (sorry this is so long kjsljfsfjl) (2/2)

Honestly, you sound adorable!

I was between Jason and Thomas, -the big protector types- but in the end I decided this fella was your best choice:

Thomas Brown Hewitt, a man of few words but a mad amount of love for his family and maybe... you.

How you met may have been strange. Perhaps through Sheriff Hoyt or the lovely older woman at the little shoppe up the road.. Or you could have been a victim that he couldn't bring himself to hurt.

•Tommy loves that you're shorter than him and he thinks that your curves speak for themselves! Gorgeous!

•Your eyes are spectacular to him. He spends countless hours falling to your gaze. Like a young boy with a crush, he'll do anything to make you smile, even if it means acting like a fool to make you laugh. He's putty in your hands.

•He's bad about picking you up when you're being a REAL GREMLIN, and just pulling you away from your chaotic deeds when he knows you could cause yourself to be hurt. He wants nothing but to protect you, and maybe he just likes holding you every now and then 😉

•He sees you as a youthful woman, not a child. He loves your voice because he's used to gruff angry voices bossing him around and to hear something so soft and high, it's like an angel has fallen into his grasp. He feels #blessed

•Fun Fact: Because Thomas has long hair himself you'll catch him pulling his hair into a braid or a bun when he's getting cleaned up. You know what that means. He's CONSTANTLY running his fingers through your hair, twirling it around into complex braids and admiring the dirty blonde pool of hair he's made into a beautiful arrangement. Not only are you impressed, but he is SO GENTLE! Soft movements, never pulling or tugging (unless you want him to, but that's a whole different story) and smiling wide under his mask when you turn to the mirror and see it.

•You're hyper and wild? He loves it. There's hardly any energy here that isn't bad or menacing, so to see someone having a blast and jumping around, he's ecstatic.

•You need space? He understands. He gives you his room and workshop to yourself while he deals with his family. You're NEVER bothered by family because if there's one thing Thomas is, it's a loyal guard.

•He can't convey emotions easily either. When he gets mad but he can't get it through with words, he cries. He hates that and doesn't want you to feel like that. So anytime you need to convey an emotion to him he is overly patient and a wonderful active listener. He's weird with crying but he will comfort you in any way possible if it makes you feel better.

•Unbeknownst to his family, Tommy has more than one outfit. He's snagged countless band shirts from.... "visitors" so he has an overabundance! And luckily they're his size so you know what that means. Baggy, comfy metal tees for the babe.

•You two rock out in the kitchen while he makes you dinner. When Hoyt and the others are gone, you may see a softer side of him. He might even start dancing with you. He might even kiss you by a nice candlelit dinner.

•Thomas has no idea why his family is so crazy, but he'd love for you to find out 😂 he's more than willing to "find" you books on psychology and he might sneak one off to read himself.

•He loves games more than the next guy. Thomas has worked his entire life and had nothing but work to look forward to, so to be able to play... that's a gift he could never repay you for. He might "find" a console or an old board game for you two to play and if so, he will hold you tight while playing a video game. Not super competitive unless he's playing against Monty or Hoyt, he's very happy to see you win against him. Mortal Kombat may or may not be his favorite, and Clue may be a close second.

•You and Hoyt start fighting? He thinks not. You'd never seen such a big man run so fast! He practically knocked Hoyt down the stairs to jump in front of you. He's not about to let anything happen to you. You're the one gift that he holds dear to his heart and he's not going to lose you to his asshole family.

•In time, once they realize you aren't some phase Thomas is going through and you're actually going to stick around, Hoyt and the others warm up to you. When you need something from the next town over, what other girl can say she had a Sheriff's Escort to get tee shirts from Hot Topic with your boyfriend? Monty let's you both go through the abandoned cars and take what you want out, and you best believe "Mama" would LOVE you. She's never had a girl to care for and now she has a girl around the house to have tea with, the big tea lady comes over sometimes just to sit and talk with you. Thank goodness they finally got air conditioning! 😥

•Lastly, Thomas tends to hide things for you throughout the house. He's done it since you've met. Once you've been together long enough, maybe you'll find a ring he's tucked away in the grandfather clock down the hall. When you turn around to ask where he got it, he would be standing behind you with a bouquet of flowers he picked from the back garden. Who said a big Texan boy can't be a romantic!

Hope you enjoy!

[Why I Will Not be RP’ing Tonight]

Today = chaos.

I did not celebrate Christmas (prepping for the move in a few months).

I did break down crying at my register after someone joked about me being a grinch (they made a joke about me having a present for them, I responded in all seriousness that I had no clue what they were talking about, they got mad and I was really tired so when they called me a grinch I broke down sobbing as they walked off to the bloody atm).

I did lose a ton of my mental/emotional sanity (so sorry, but no RP replies tonight- I will chat with folks if they want to chat, but that’s as much as I can do atm ^_^).

I did get around $200 from one guy because I broke down sobbing right before he came up to my register... Dude slipped me two 100 dollar bills. Made me cry more but it was happy tears thank goodness.

I got to clean the rollers (which I hate doing) but managed to hang out with my manager after the shift was over in order to recover enough sanity to return home. Had fun making jokes about idiocy with him until I left.

I did get scolded by some old woman because I couldn’t give her a discount for her gas station card (she had the key-chain type, which doesn’t offer a gas discount).

I did receive free cookies and spaghetti and meatballs from customers (which I will not be consuming, because I work at a gas station so I trust no one who brings me food).

I will be getting paid 30-40% more than my standard paycheck for today.

I’m planning on spending the rest of the night chilling and recovering mentally/emotionally. Love ya’ll, but I’m very, very tired of people right now. U_U

[thelost-in-time]

lost this part isnt a part of the ask game but this

(idk if you can see it but if you cant just search on tiktok "xiaochus")

me: o|￣|＿ im on my hands and knees xiao just for you༼˵˃̶̀ɷ˂̶́˵༽ ෆ⃛(your a second for me xiao tho scaramouche is first [do not judge me])

this part is however is part of the ask game 4. 11. 18. and 25? if you havent already

~sincerely boba anon?~ (that part of me being on my hands and knees [me:] that is a clue on who i am, another clue is recent xiao post m(u_u)m )

That audio is perfect for Scaramouche 😭

Especially when considering the stars event from way back.

It fits Xiao too though 😭

But hi,🧋! I hope you're well! Thank you for this ^^

This got depressing at the end haha

.

4. How did you come across Genshin?

I saw a bunch of YouTubers talking about it when it first came out and gave it a try.

.

11. Least favourite character

Jean. Don't fight me over this, please.

.

18. Highest single shot damage

50k bc of weekly commissions.

Otherwise it's 20k

.

In reference to this

25. What character do you relate to and why?

Xiao and Eula.

Eula because she had been rejected by everyone who met her, causing her to be lonely until Amber.

I had been rejected by lots of people and irl I have no friends or support bc nobody accepted me.

Xiao because he has burdens to carry, things that give him nightmares. And people leaving by choice or not.

I have my own burdens I can't exactly share with people, things that give me nightmares too.

And everyone leaves me. By choice.

MEMENTO MORI/MEMENTO VIVIERE : BACKSTORY + CHARACTERS

a heads up ; these are the same universe, but in different aspects! thisll be a p long post but itll b under a read more!

Memento Mori’s tagline is Remember, You’re Destined To Die, and it’s ironic given the characters of this story’s timeline are basically immortal! it’s titled such to show it’s the darker side of the story

Memento Viviere’s tagline is Remember, You’re Destined To Live, and it’s the lighter side of the story’s timeline, and it gives meaning for why the characters in Memento Mori fight

                                              MEMENTO MORI

in a different version of earth, lies a different realm! angels and demons run amongst humans, however they cannot tell who’s of the opposite allegiance unless working directly with the gods/goddesses and head demons

of these are our main protagonist and antagonist of memento mori, corrina ferratus and daciana

corrina ferratus is the goddess of life and death, kinda like the embodiment of the fates of greek mythology! she has an older sister named lucina, known as the goddess of earth. she created daciana, who was the first demon

daciana was originally a human woman, whose patron goddess was corrina’s youngest sister, the goddess of water, and she made her stop her duties. corrina killed the goddess and turned daciana into a demon for revenge for ruining the balance of her family. daciana is a demon of pride, and she gained siblings who were just humans turned to demons by corrina’s family

then we have the deuteragonists ; joan engel, an angel who acts as corrina’s watcher of humans, naomi and kaito fujioka, twins who summoned demons to enact revenge against their father, in which thee demons are Wrath and Lust respectively

joan engel was originally a human, who ended up dying in a freak accident where he fell off a bridge during a storm. corrina found him and offered to bring him back in return for watching over humans where she can’t.

naomi and kaito fujioka are the oldest children of a gang leader and a florist. they summoned two demons after their dad murdered their mother for trying to leave him, and what they got instead was being possessed by the demons of Wrath and lust. they’re technically siblings to daciana after this mishap, despite having 0 clue who she is

daciana’s children have finally created enough demon hybrids for her to have an army of her own, to fight against corrina. the plot is corrina having to save humanity from the influence of these demons, while trying to reconcile with daciana and, well, someone else

                                           MEMENTO VIVIERE

in the same universe during the same time, we follow people related to the memento mori characters going about their lives. this is more slice of life rather than plot-based

there’s no set protagonist, but we have several main characters ; lucina ferratus, corrina’s oldest sister and mother to chronicle and camilla, goddess of earth. dionysia and athanasia vladimiri, aka chronicle and camilla weiss, the children of lucina, niece to corrina, goddess of reanimation/resurrection and nature, respectively. camelia carmitru, a princess turned vampire, daciana’s girlfriend

lucina ferratus is the oldest sister to corrina, and she’s the creator of earth and watches over it. she takes charge over things such as the weather. lucina’s hidden amongst humans as a supermodel, and she keeps watch for demons ; not for corrina, but for herself. she takes direct, pacifistic approaches towards the demons.

chronicle is the oldest daughter to lucina, and the guardian of camilla’s children. she’s a goddess of reanimation and resurrection, but she never does anything with her powers. she owns a bar and works as a middle school english teacher. she’s canonically married

camilla weiss is the second oldest daughter to lucina, and mother to dirk and germaine weiss-vladimiri. she’s a goddess of nature, and works as a sort of supplier to naomi when she requests rarer flowers and plants. her main work is as a scientist, who travels the country where she resides in search of new plant species. a widow who killed her husband in an act of self defense, she canonically has a girlfriend

camelia carmitru was a romanian princess who was left to die her wedding night by someone who posed as her fiance. she was turned into a vampire by one of daciana’s children. she is the reincarnated self of corrina and lucina’s youngest sister, and daciana requested she be turned to save her.

                                                         TRIVIA

vampires in this series aren’t your typical ones! they’re one kind of demon spawn when humans and demons breed. it’s usually when the child has around 55%-75% demon blood within them. other breeds include ; witches, which are mostly human with a bit of demon blood (55%-75% human), half-bloods, which are a 50-50 ratio of human-demon blood, vampires, and unknowns, who are 80-95% demon blood, which are named such for how nobody can exactly tell what they are

vampires are divided based on clan, which is divided by who the heads are. the heads are the Seven Deadly Sins, who are the original demons, including daciana. they have certain traits based on who the leader is. i.e lust’s vampires are more along the line of succubi and incubi, gluttony’s vampires have larger appetites but have the smallest number of members, wrath’s vampire attacks are the most brutal and violent, greed’s vampires have the smallest appetite but attack the most, pride’s vampires often mock the loved ones of their victims whilst taking joy in their work, sloth’s vampires are the most docile and rarely need to attack, and envy’s vampires are usual emotion based and usually attack fellow vampires

other supernatural creatures exist in this universe! i haven’t quite figured it out yet though u_u

naomi and kaito, being possessed by wrath and lust, they’re weird. they’re full demons, but are classified as vampires given their situation

[firebuug]

3 and 5 for any character

ill do it for each of my dnd ocs that they apply to bc im evil and fucked up so um. answers under the cut u_u tysm!!

3. what is their goal right now?

bierrab: uhhm i think her goal is to learn more about human life and be reunited with her old clan! but um. it's a bit hopeless because. a lot of her old clan was killed by humans *whips and naenaes*

for context, she is an aaracokra and is oblivious to what really happened to her clan and ended up getting kinda lost! shes not too developed yet but a friend helped me come up w her story

boris: ujhhh provide for his kids back home! i havent played him in a campaign yet so he isnt super developed, but hes a tabaxi bard who has two kids at home and is adventuring to get money to support them and bring home cool stuff as souvenirs for them

farrow: man no clue. i havent used him in a campaign in a while, but i guess in general his goal is to just prove himself, get stronger, and get freaky revenge on everyone who's ever wronged him and his party >:)

80s farrow: OUGH. first of all: find the werewolf thats been tormenting his town (and hopefully have it be his totally-not-crush clayton). second of all: form the garage band of his dreams. third: be accepted by the cool kids of his baseball team. fourth: make friends and stop being a lonely bitch

RTS skuggy: no idea what his goal is outside of road to salem but in this campaign my friend's running everyone's goal is to get to salem in one piece tbh. he wants 2 escape his past and figure his deal out and settle down in a fucked up town ^_^

i also forgot dexter is a character im playing in rts eventually so i. his main goal is to get to salem but also hopefully gain the trust of some people along the way to further his reputation :-) and become the best doctor he can be ! 💖💖 and get a hang of [REDCATED FOR SPOILERS]

5. do they follow a higher power? what are their thoughts on divinity?

none of my ocs follow a deity because that shit baffles me. not even 80s farrow, who's class is monk, follows a deity. his deity is the director of 80 Cool Tricks And Stunts To Wow Your Friends!, the cassette tape series he learned all his sick moves from

OH SHIT farrow in my very first campaign there was a deity who was just a dog who looks like a mop named Mop. i dont think he worshipped him BUT he DID meet him and his thoughts on divinity is "this shit is stupid as fuck but MOP is the one bitch i respect"

bierrab is not opposed to learning about it but doesn't follow it herself, she does love hearing stories from different cultures however

boris i dont fucking know man. he would follow a higher power but idk what that power is idk dnd religion so hes just there. he isnt super religious but he thinks theres somethin out there and hopefully its watching over his party and his family

skuggy doesn't follow anything but respects it and'll probably make an effort to at least learn a little bit about it if one of his friends is super devoted to it. 80s farrow thinks his world's deities are a bunch of random dudes and doesnt fucking understand

Discovery: Despite Yourself

Ok, so obvsl I’ve already watched this one so it’s a second viewing, but I tried to get at my initial reactions even if, now, from a perspective of having seen up to ep 12.

Saru says “almost nothing else is where it’s supposed to be!” having the position of celestial bodies be different in the Mirrorverse is wonderful attention to detail ouo Having even their targeting computers and sensors confused is another great way to convey that the MV is different down to the atomic level.

“Quantum signature” is typical technobabble, but functional and better than the obsession with “resonance” in the more string-theory-obsessed 90s.

I’ve never noticed it before, but one of their casting directors is named Orly Sitowitz. Imagine living to see your perfectly ordinary name rendered unfortunate by Memes :|

Another clue for Lorca’s jump double-cross I missed the first time: he claims Stamets was “eager” to work with him on multiple universe tech after the war. Taking advantage of Stamets’s non-responsive state puts a time-limit on his plans which I’m not sure really fits with how nebulous they end up being, but I guess there’s little choice. Also: maybe he was hoping communication with Discovery would be difficult once he got Burnham off the ship.

The cloak algorithm! The first time I watched that I didn’t really think about it, but if Discovery ever had made it back, then Klingon cloak-tech would have been useless. So either 1)Discovery doesn’t make it back or 2)this is a way to allow the Klingons to still get their cloak tech from the Romulans as pre-Disc canon states; the Fed has a solution to their “native” cloak tech, but then they bought a different vers from the Romulans that was invulnerable to the algorithm.

Unrelated, but I just realized that the way Disc establishes Klingon cloak -as a secret specific to T’Kuvma’s house before the war- works really well with the idea of Klingon tech being based mostly on salvaging from Hur’q tech after they were driven off. If the only surviving Hur’q ship with a cloaking device able to be studied belonged to T’Kuvma’s ancestors for some reason, then it’d make sense that they’d keep its secrets to themselves in an aristocratic society like theirs. I doubt that’s what they were going for, of course.

He waves them off even LOOKING at the NavLogs: yeah that wasn’t suspicious at all X| X| I do like, however, the way the writers have him do that -defraying suspicion by blaming himself, bamboozling them with a believable but technical explanation, then using emotional appeal through hyping the danger of the situation to direct their attention elsewhere-, which is the way an actual manipulator would protect themselves in that situation. Stuff like this is the difference between writers who know what they’re talking about, and writers faking it by writing what they think a certain type of character should be like based on tropes.

Tilly is so great, and I love that they allow her to know things, and to use that knowledge creatively. Rare to see women characters written like that, and rarer still when the character is not just allowed to be emotionally competent, but the Most Emotionally Competent person on the show. Ditto with Culber on that actually: emotional competence does not preclude technical competence and I’m glad for at least one show that doesn’t argue it does.

“Paul is your superior officer; he gave you an order. You’re not responsible for this.” Can I also just say how wonderful this portrayal of a sensitive, nurturing, truth-abiding military organization which cares about the people who make it up Discovery continues to be?

Discovery’s virtual U-Is are excellent, and I like how they activate and use them through specific hand-postures. I don’t really talk about it much, but the “chunkier” sci-fi aspects of Discovery like this are very satisfying.

The intersection of brainwashing, dubcon, secret-agent, double-life, hurt-comfort, psychdrama in the Voq storyline -and particularly the Prayer scene- is just so Delicious&Ficcy owo owo owo

It is both supremely painful, and supremely sympathetic, to watch Burnham open up to someone in a way she never has before, to trust them in a fashion her Vulcan culture completely discourages, and see it used to betray her. I do wish we’d see more flashes of Vulcan in this second half of the season, though.

Tilly’s first attempt at Evil!Tilly ans Issac’s Scottish accent are Wonderful and Good u_u Also well acted.

This is kind of detail oriented but: the “comet” the Fed uses on their command insignia strikes me as almost an inversion of the sword through earth insignia the Empire uses. Don’t know if that’s intentional or just some iconoclastic observation of my own but, if it IS intentional, that’s another great little world-building detail.

That the Emperor would 1)send Burnham to deal with a rebellion personally, and 2) personally respond to Burnham’s death, when their initial intel spoke of a “faceless emperor”(suggesting a buffering bureaucracy) is a big sign they had a personal connection.

The “Destiny” exchange was weird at the time, but much creepier knowing Mirror!Lorca’s history of grooming Burnham.

Obvsl there was nothing on Defiant in the datacube. The Rebels Burnham finds know nothing of the Federation or Defiant(if such intel were on a random datacube, it’d have to be well-known), and the files accessible from Shenzhou are under heavy security(such that Burnham has to access them clandestinely), only to those captain or higher, and heavily redacted even then. And the complete, unredacted files are only available from the Palace-ship. There’s no way the rebels would have gotten access to that.

I feel like Tyler not, actually, being Tyler is going to be important to the Lorca plotline somehow. Like: Perhaps Lorca knew Mirror!Tyler, and that’s why he recruited him, and he’s relying on Tyler to act in certain vague ways like the Tyler he knew(as he is with Burnham and others), but at some significant point Tyler’s going to do something Voqish that upsets Lorca’s plans significantly.

“Well my mother would definitely approve” at her straightened, blonded hair, is such a small line, but it adds so much more nuance to Tilly’s relationship with her mom which, until now, has been portrayed as entirely positive(at least, iirc). Also a bit disappointing that negative attitudes towards curly and red hair still persist in the 23rd century |:T |:T

Burnham’s mastery of metaphor is… Masterful(X| X| X|) “Painted Rust” damn! I wonder if that’s a Vulcan thing; they do love aphorisms

I don’t like that they killed Culber. I understand the narrative inevitability of it -there has to be a payoff to Tyler being, I’m pretty sure, an engram patterned over a surgically altered Voq and Culber’s the only doctor we know on the ship- but given the persistence of “kill your gays” writing, and how good this show typically is on that and many other fronts, I’d have preferred them writing something else. Even if they find a way to “resurrect” him.

Voq knowing all the access codes on Discovery is… Ominous :| :|

The short, shifting look of pride/affection/approval/attraction on Keyla’s face when Burnham walks into the bridge over Connor’s corpse gives me Life u_u

I feel like there is A Lot of Voq in that speech Tyler gives to Burnham at the end of the ep; as if he’s speaking from Voq’s own experience hiding among enemies without realizing it.

Pablo Hidalgo’s Many Revelations About The Last Jedi at Comic Con Chile

Pablo Hidalgo, he of the witty Tweets wrecking Reywalker (exhibit 1), cat lover and Lucasfilm Story Group top banana, was recently at Comic Con Chile for a panel called “Mysteries of Star Wars”. One of our Spanish-speaking members from Reylo Skyforum has made a recap/translation of the panel. Behold the wisdom gleaned from this video.

Pablo (PH) opened by revealing that he wrote the captions that appear under the Annie Leibovitz photos in the Vanity Fair spotlight of The Last Jedi. He went on to scroll through the photos and added commentary about the characters and filming process as follows:

About Kylo Ren:

“Here are the bad guys in The Last Jedi -  Kylo of course, carrying the scar that he got from Rey. Kylo has a lot to prove. Even though the First Order was successful in a lot of what it did in TFA, you can't forget that Kylo was defeated by a newcomer. The Last Jedi starts off right where TFA ended, and he has to go visit his boss. We can all imagine how that's gonna turn out."

Audience member question: “Does Kylo Ren know that Darth Vader turned good in the end?” PH: “I think Luke would have told him. He may only have heard a certain side of the story from someone else, and he decided to choose what he chose to believe.”

About Luke/Mark Hamill:

Luke's gloved hand is touching "an ancient Jedi book" in the trailer.

Ahch-To is the site of the first Jedi temple, but the stone hut featured behind Rey and Luke in the VF picture is not a temple. PH: "The island is home to caretakers, and these aliens live in those huts - so Luke hasn't been entirely alone."

“The space siblings (Luke and Leia) have moments (in The Last Jedi) as well.”

Audience member question: “What can you say about Mark Hamill's displeasure with the creative direction of Lucasfilm? He has talked about this in a lot of articles.” PH: “Mark has been quoted out of context. He said he had disagreements with how his character was shown because he didn't think it was going to work out, but then he said ‘I was happy to be proven wrong.’ I think that Mark gives an amazing performance in TLJ and he has nothing but incredible things to say about Rian Johnson. I think any reports about him being unhappy are probably being framed that way for some reason.”

About Rey:

Rey has inherited Anakin's saber and the pilot's seat in the Millennium Falcon, and Chewbacca is a loyal co-pilot. 

     That’s it, wop wop :(

About Carrie Fisher/Princess Leia

"Carrie Fisher's role is much bigger in TLJ than in TFA. We didn’t intend for it to be that way at the time, but TLJ will be an amazing tribute to Carrie Fisher and Princess Leia.”

“Even though we lost Carrie Fisher it doesn't mean we're done telling stories about Princess Leia. There's chapters of her life that haven't been told yet. We have a book coming out by Claudia Grey which follows sixteen-year-old Leia. I think we have opportunity to tell more stories about her.

About Snoke: 

Audience member question: “Was Snoke's first appearance in TFA, or have we seen him before? Is he related to Darth Plagueis?” PH: “Snoke was first seen in TFA. He is a new character we have never seen before.

About the new characters:

“Kelly Marie Tran’s character Rose Tico is a mechanic in the Resistance, her sister Paige is a gunner on a bombing ship.”

Laura Dern’s character: “You had best not underestimate Vice-Admiral Holdo."

"Here is Benicio del Toro as DJ. There are all sorts of rumors about DJ on the internet; he is so shady that there's probably all sorts of rumors about him in the galaxy as well. If you shouldn't judge Holdo by her looks, you can probably judge DJ by his looks."

About Phasma:

"We'll learn a lot more about Phasma this year": there is a new comic about how she arrived on Star Killer Base. There is also a forthcoming novel from DelRey which “talks about how the First Order came to find her in the first place, her past, her home world.”

The picture of Phasma in Vanity Fair “is Gwendolyn behind the scenes, not what Phasma looks like without the helmet.”

About the filming process of The Last Jedi and episode 9:

Rian Johnson went to Skellig Michael to film the continuation of Luke and Rey’s meeting scene for start of The Last Jedi about 2 weeks after JJ wrapped up filming the end of TFA - so before TFA was released.

Audience member question: “Did Carrie's death affect The Last Jedi?” PH answer: “No, because she had already completed her part in its entirety. It did create a challenge for Colin in episode 9, because we all wanted her to feature quite prominently in it, but that can't happen anymore. We are evolving the story from the loss of that, to tell us where it should go.”

About the Force:

“If the Jedi have existed for thousands of years, they would have explored all aspects of how the Force works, from the spiritual to the biological. Only thinking of one side of the equation is an incomplete understanding.”

General Star Wars questions from the audience:

“Was Anakin Skywalker created by Darth Plagueis? PH: “All clues point to yes. This is just a theory, everyone can believe what they want; I think Sidious and Plagueis tried to provoke the creation of The Chosen One so that they could control it, and it didn't work out.

“Did Palpatine have any involvement in Padme's death?” PH: “You can theorize about it; I doubt we're ever going to get any more detail as to exactly how she died. That is a story George presented and we'll leave it as is in the movie.

“Did Palpatine influence Anakin's dreams?” PH doesn't think so. “He is a fearful person, and Palpatine took advantage of it.”

“How did you guys get over the criticism of the PT?” (lol) PH: “Lots of kids love the PT. That generation will get a chance to get out of the shadow of the previous generation. Then they also have to deal with the next generation, who have staked out episode 7, 8 and whatever comes next as THEIR Star Wars. That's healthy.”

“Is Return of the Jedi plural or singular? PH: “People should figure it out for themselves, it's magical that we're still arguing about what it means 30 years later. This is like our religion and we are not done studying it; it doesn't matter what I think about that, it matters what you believe."

“Is Jango Fett Mandalorian or just a mercenary wearing Mandalorian armor?” PH: “All we have to go by is Prime Minister Almec's word. if Jango is Mandalorian he has to be of such shaky standing that someone like Almec can say "No he's not," but there's more to come about this.”

“Are you going to make movies about the survivors from Order 66?” PH: “The era of the early Empire while Jedi were being hunted is an area of storytelling we're interested in. We just launched a new Darth Vader comic series that takes place right during that era. We're not done telling those stories, so it's always a possibility.”

“We saw Mace Windu fly out the window but we never saw his corpse. Is he alive or dead?” PH: “Depends on who you ask. Sam Jackson says he's alive and well, and I don't want to argue with Sam Jackson.”

PH: “Dave Filoni wants to do something special with stories he didn't get a chance to tell. I'll leave that for him to describe.”

“Is Disney interested in doing films about the Old Republic era?” PH: Creative direction for Star Wars is under Lucasfilm - we are always looking along the timeline to see what stories to develop, if we find a filmmaker passionate about that era we may consider it but for now the story is told through the video games.”

“There's a rumor that the First Order will fight against an external galactic threat like the Yuuzhan Vong; will there be something like the YV in the Sequel Trilogy?” PH: The First Order has its hands full trying to take over the known galaxy... The Yuuzhan Vong where going to appear in Clone Wars, they were going to be different than what we read in the books, and it was going to be mysterious aliens encountered by the Jedi - but it was never produced. In our mind there is a version out there where the Jedi encounter Yuuzhan Vong.”

“What do you think about the "Jar Jar is evil" theory?” PH: “Poor guy, he's been through so much but still has  a heart of gold.”

If you made it this far, we regale you with our quick-fire impressions:

As discussed in our podcast analyzing the The Last Jedi teaser trailer, we believe events shown in the teaser will be occurring in the first 1/3 of The Last Jedi. Pablo’s comments about continuity and Kylo having something to prove after just being defeated support that. Don’t expect to see Kylo Ren appeased at the start of TLJ, he will probably be a hot mess. (Hot because he’s attractive, get it? u_u)

The picture of Rey and Chewbacca in Vanity Fair + Pablo’s brief comment about Rey inheriting the Millennium Falcon and a loyal co-pilot in Chewie point to her eventually leaving Ahch-To in The Last Jedi. Some have speculated she will probably spend the entirety of the film on the island, but we disagree.

We are relieved and thanking the Maker after hearing Pablo say “WE are evolving the story (episode 9)” - it’s not just riding on Colin Trevorrow’s shoulders (sorry, Colin). This should also be reassuring in light of PlotGATE: the filmmaker has freedom, but Lucasfilm is always a part of the process. 

They have more Princess Leia stories to tell! And Claudia Grey is involved, huzzah!

Barely any questions about Kylo Ren and zero questions about Rey - but y’all ask about Darth Jar Jar? Get it together, my dudes. -___-

Top 10: Teen Wolf

Rules: list 10 of your favourite characters from any medium, such as literature, movies, television, etc.

I decided to limit this list to strictly Teen Wolf characters:

1: Stiles Stilinski

2: Peter Hale

3: Sheriff Stilinski

4: Melissa McCall

5: Alan Deaton

6: The Yukimuras (Noshiko, Kira, and Ken)

7: Derek Hale (+ The Hale Pack teens / Hale Family)

8: Jackson Whittemore

9: Chris Argent

10: Lydia Martin

I figured I might as well explain my choices, so the rambling’s under the cut:

1: Mieczyslaw “Stiles” Stilinski

It goes without saying that Dylan O’Brien is fate’s gift to Teen Wolf, and I was in love with Stiles almost instantaneously. There really is no need to go further into this one; Stiles is the best. And 3B? DUDE. The only thing I’m pissed about is that Stiles is still human. WHY didn’t they go further with the Spark/Emissary thing? WHY didn't they go further with the kitsune/nogitsune thing? I’m relieved for Stiles’ sake that the bite of a wendigo doesn’t change anyone into ravenous cannibals in TW, but WHY didn’t they go further with the chimera thing after Stiles got bitten by Donovan? Jeff, give this kid a superpower already! >o<

2: Peter Hale

I have a few posts already on how I feel about Peter Hale’s (mis)treatment on the show, so I’ll try not go into it all here, but what I will say is that I think Peter is THE driving force of the entire plot -- he’s the Teen Wolf Demiurge; without Peter biting Scott NONE of this would have ever happened, for better or worse. It all began with Peter so it had better frikkin end with Peter -- I want to see a huge heroic act from him in the final season, preferably ripping Kate Argent’s head clean OFF and setting HER on fire! I’ll openly weep if they kill him off -- Peter deserves nice things, too! :’( IMO Peter’s the most sympathetic character on the show, cuz he was a total victim of the fire and the loss of his pack/anchor/family and the loss of his health, both physical AND mental. His whole antagonistic/villainous attitude is just the consequences of what happened to his mind/heart/wolf. :( Ian Bohen is a fantastic actor and I completely adore his portrayal of this magnificent bastard. Plus he’s sexy as all Hale Hell, laaaaawd have mercy!

3: Sheriff Noah JOHN Stilinski

All the Stilinski Family Feels. <3 I feel for this man. Third most sympathetic character on this show, for me, I felt for him from the very start, poor guy. He’s portrayed so realistically and Ashby acts his behind off. I think the Sheriff should have been brought into the loop WAY earlier; half the problems these crazy kids had would have been cut off at the heels if they had actual law enforcement and ammo on their side. The Sheriff vs. that Berserker? Dude. The Sheriff facing down Ennis like a boss? Dude. The Sheriff’s standoff against Chris Argent in 3B? Dude. Stilinskis don’t mess around. 

4: Melissa McCall

This woman is the best, most realistic, most epic parent on the whole show, IMO. It’s a miracle she hasn’t been arrested, Melissa cuts through the bullsh!t and the bureaucracy like a BAMF BOSS. WHY isn’t she married to the Sheriff!? Whose bright idea was it to have her hook up with ARGENT of all the most out-of-nowhere nobody-asked-for oddly-incestuous skeeving-me-out pairings? Good grief. I seriously loathe the way females are handled on this show. But Melissa is an incredible person, and really does mothers proud with their fierce protectiveness and unconditional nurturing spirit. Love her. Just not with Argent.

5: Alan Deaton

I love the sassy jerks. XD The main issue with Deaton is the fact that the show clearly doesn’t know what to do with him. He’s neutral, despite helping the characters out of more than a few sticky situations. But they can't seem to decide whether or not he's Obi Wan or Yoda. You’d THINK a druid/emissary of his knowledge and credentials would be the Yoda, but every time something MAJOR happens that really is out of these poor teenagers’ league, Deaton’s either nowhere to be found, or he has no idea what to do. And it’s like...WHY? o_O You weren’t just an emissary, you were a HALE emissary. You sat right on a nemeton hotspot. You should be freaking GANDALF. So I get really crestfallen when Deaton fails to help, but that doesn’t stop me from really liking him, because I think he could’ve been twice as relevant if he was written into the plots better and did his frikkin job.

6: The Yukimuras (I miss you, Kira!)

The most random awesome addition Teen Wolf’s thought of. And by random I mean random. The skinwalker thing I thought was freaking stupid, and if anyone should have a problem controlling their new-found half-nuts fox powers it should have been Stiles not Kira, and I wasn’t crazy about the whole Swords as Tails thing, but I still thought it was super cool to add kitsunes to break up the sheer monotony, if only for a little while. The Yukimuras should have their own spinoff show, no frikkin lie.

7: Derek Hale (and the Hale pack/family unit -- I miss all his Betas)

Rebel Without A Clue right here. I can’t stand how the show just relentlessly kept screwing Derek and the Hales over. He’s not even a Tragic Hero, since he did more harm than good. He’s just Tragic. What was he even supposed to be? The dumb big guy or Tank? The Lancer? The damsel in distress, more like. >_> Speaking of: women are clearly Derek’s kryptonite. You’d think he would have learned his lesson already, but nope. They should have let him and Stiles get together and I can guarantee you Erica and Boyd would still be alive. I swear if one more Hale dies on this stupid show.... Derek deserves nice things! #JusticeForDerek! #JusticeForTheHales! #SomeonePleaseKillKateArgentPROPERLYThisTime! 

8: Jackson Whittemore

Honestly I think I miss Jackson the absolute most out of all, if only because we missed out on his reactions to all the shenanigans that happened in Beacon Hills after he left. If Peter is Scott’s main foil then Jackson is Stiles’ -- I’d have LOVED to see how he would have handled the nogitsune and Stiles being erased & reappearing. And I can bet the twin's arrival would have been interesting to say the least, and the inclusion of the Fantastic Four (not really) into the pack -- lord, Jackson versus Theo? Open/Shut case, Jackson would have seen right through Theo’s games and snubbed those chimeras like it was nothing. I miss his attitude.  

9: Chris Argent

It took me as long long long time for Chris to grow on me, because the first few seasons I thought he was barely a step up from a hapless henchman; a brainwashed bully with zero backbone, serious daddy issues; who was easily manipulated, and whose only saving grace was the love he had for Allison (and his jacked up family). He was always a BAMF, but I had him pegged as expendable, honestly. I think I really only started really liking him in S03, and then Allison was dead and he finally started waking up to exactly how stupid he had been for so many years. If anyone got a redemption arc it was Argent, and he needed one badly, IMO. (But why....WHY lord god did they have to literally throw Melissa into his arms after this man literally spent the first three seasons determined to kill her son and all his friends, after kicking up that major stink over Alison dating Scott in the first place? U_U Can you say raging hypocrite?)

10: Lydia Martin

This poor girl. She has everything it takes to make me absolutely hate her, and I really did, all the way up until Eichen. But I think the show did a good job balancing her out once A-grade crap started happening and she (mostly) dropped that intolerable teen queen bimbo shtick. Her banshee powers are cool. In a severely creepy way, but still. Aside from all that though I don’t see how she suddenly decided she’s been in love with Stiles the whole time after she treated him like garbage -- I thought she said she was done with teenage boys? But then again her being with Parrish was frikkin statutory, why would they even show a cop doing that? But yeah, Lydia really grew on me, and I think she’s a pretty cool girl once she pulls her head out of her arse.
