#I think I’m gonna tag the project as

[inbeesinblood]

Someone listened to and commented on the first episode of my fan project. What if I cry

[cleocatrablossy]

Silly thought: what if Stan had an old leather jacket. Say, Shermie’s their older brother by around a decade or so and joins the military to fight in Vietnam. He’s originally put into the air force before being changed to some other part of the military. But he got the issued bomber jacket, and decided to send it back to Stanley. And Stanley cherished the thing, wearing it whenever weather permitted. Usually to the beach on windy days since it actually kept the gusts out. Usually he dressed for the weather, but if he was going to be caught by a sudden chill or breeze(or even rain though he generally tried to avoid damaging the jacket) it served him well. So at some point he started keeping it in his car when it was warmer.

When he got kicked out, it was the last gift from a family member he still had. So Stanley got even more protective of the jacket, but wear and tear always happens so as time went on he had to patch it up on occasion. Really whoever decided to put sleek loosely bound fabric in the lining was an idiot, because he ended up having to replace most of it. When he could he’d try to make the patches prettier or at least like a fashion statement, though most of them ended up being made of cheap- if not hardy- shirts and pants that reached a point of no return.

At some point though he decided that 1: it was likely becoming more expensive to fix the jacket then to just save up to get a new one and 2: he really didn’t want to lose that gift from the only member of his family that wasn’t there that night- and didn’t just let it happen. So he went back to storing the leather jacket once it hit spring and he ended up saving for the red hoodie. Sure it wasn’t quite as good against the wind or at general insulation, but it could survive getting wet just fine and when he zipped it up all the way didn’t jab into his jaw when slouching. Plus it had a hood and so offered some extra warmth for his head and neck.

After the portal incident, when he eventually moved his stuff from his car to the shack he brought the jacket inside. It went to the back of a chair for a while, but at some point he started using the closet and decided to free up some space by moving it there. He’d wear it down in the basement on colder days, and as the Murder Hut began to turn a mild profit he sat down and made sure it was in as good a condition as he could get it. He even sewed in a few patches in the lining using merchandise he couldn’t sell. Every piece of fabric in there was already tied to one event or another, so it only seemed fitting to have some from the tourist trap he was running now.

As the Mr. Mystery character evolved and he got clothes that were actually good for the weather he wore the jacket less and less. By the late 90s it was rare to see him in it.

But when he was called up for the birth of Dipper and Mabel he wore it. Shermie obviously had questions on why ‘Stanford’ had the jacket that he’d given to Stanley, and about the origins of some of the patches. Stan waved it off as the patches being mostly from highschool and it having been left in their room. Shermie let him off the hook, but they both knew that it was just him.

The jacket officially entered retirement to the closet after that.

Until one summer when the twins were twelve and came up to visit. Mabel was working on some project or other and was struggling with some stitches, and Stan offered to help. Mabel said she didn’t trust him with knowing how to sew things on properly, and he said he could prove it. So out came the jacket, old patches and all. They got to finish Mabel’s project together.

When Waddles got snatched by a pterosaur and Mabel insisted on getting him back, and then sticking next to the pig at all times, Stan decided that Mabel was absolutely going to wind up in danger in some way shape or form.

So he gave her the leather jacket, explaining it was passed down to him at around her age when he was starting to get into all sorts of trouble as well. He doesn’t say it was from his brother because no one knew if they’d see him again. They go through the history of each patch, and he makes some stories up when the actual explanation wouldn’t be good for Mabel to hear. She held onto it all summer, even if she didn’t wear it too much- it got hot and she was already always in a sweater.

But he and Ford managed to visit the twins in Piedmont during their spring break, and Mabel was wearing the jacket. Proudly she went ahead and showed off the new patches she’d sewn in. Of course there was a rough outline of a pig that she’d gone and embroidered some finer details on; then a pine tree, shooting star, fish, and six fingered hand; some general cryptid patches(at least one of which was stolen from Dipper), and cute vibrant patterns wherever there was something that genuinely needed patching.

I need the world to see my vision of OCD An but the only way I feel I can accurately convey it is with this.

(There’s alt text if the text is hard to read, although idk if it’s formatted well….)

It’s still that same festival and it’s still you. Except now you’re here after doing something great, right?

Congrats Akito

Hey, Hunter!

Aside from the chronic back pain, what other long lasting symptoms did you have from the Rot, if any?

((Okay! So my attempt to answer this somehow developed into a rant about Hunter’s characterization so… here you go lol.))

So I have to answer this on Hunter’s behalf, because part of his character is that he doesn’t like to admit any sort of weakness. Apart from chronic pain, I essentially just gave him the symptoms of low iron. He gets light headed and dizzy, and he is often tired or low energy. 

Hunter has this mindset that being weak, or showing weakness makes you useless. (I wonder what could have possibly made him develop that way of thinking. Surely nothing to do with the way he was raised and treated growing up.) Keep in mind, Hunter’s very logical logic only applies to him. He wouldn’t judge Survivor for not being strong, Hunter just has unhealthy expectations of himself that definitely aren’t realistic anymore with his post-rot symptoms, and were never actually that realistic to begin with.

He has a habit of ignoring his own symptoms, and pretending to be perfectly fine when he isn’t. He’d never admit it if his chronic pain is making it difficult for him to function properly. 

(His physical health is one thing, but don’t even get me started on how Hunter views his mental health lmao.)

Uhhh anyways bonus light headed/dizzy Hunter:

I can’t wait for the day elriel’s book comes out and the antis have to either sit with or delete their content that says elriel is never gonna happen and that we have no reading comprehension and there is nothing that points to them ending up together

[raiiny-bay]

holding them all in my hands…….

fwiw I agree that Eddie doesn’t have internalized homophobia but I don’t think Eddie “finding joy” in 806 precludes his coming out from being angsty.

Project Sekai x Fairly Odd Parents A New Wish AU? Why yes of course! WARNING: THIS IS SUPER EXTRA LONG!! BE PREPARED TO READ FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES 😭😭😭

Hazel- Hazel was one I struggled with! She’s either Saki or Emu. Emu’s story is that she is the daughter of the owner of Phoenix Wonderland, and grew up watching shows in the park. After seeing Tsukasa fail his audition, she hires him, along with Nene and Rui, to return the dilapidated Wonder Stage to its former glory. Emu wants to perform on the small Wonder Stage and keep it alive, as it was her late grandfather's favorite stage. She was inspired to make others smile by her grandfather, whom she greatly looks up to, though he passed two years before the main story. I feel like this matches Hazel a lot! The passion and wants to make people smile. Saki’s story is that Saki was born with a weak body. Because of this, she was hospitalized throughout middle school. Her older brother, Tsukasa, took care of her during that time. At the beginning of the main story, she has become healthy enough to return to school. Saki is determined to enjoy her youth and experience all the things she couldn't while she was in the hospital. Due to this passion, she sometimes overworks herself and falls sick. Saki and Tsukasa's mother is a piano teacher. I feel like this matches Hazel by wanting to experience her whole youth and how her older brother took care of her. For the songs that match them I’d go with Once Upon A Dream and Stella.

(1 and 2 are Saki, last is Emu)

Dev- He would probably be in Nightcord at 25:00! His story reminds me a lot of Mafuyu’s! If you don’t know it, basically Mafuyu’s mom is a manipulative, overbearing mother who tried to raise Mafuyu into becoming a doctor, stopping her from pursuing her own dream to be a nurse, which caused Mafuyu to suppress her own emotions to please her mother's high expectations (I totally did not copy and paste this shhhhhhhh). Instead of with Mafuyu suppressing her emotions, with Dev, he lets out too many emotions if that makes sense!! Dale would probably really want Dev to follow into the family’s footsteps, ignoring Dev’s dream. (no idea what that is yet, honestly your choice!) The song that I feel like matches him the best is probably BUG.

Jasmine- Jasmine would probably be in More More Jump! I could see her being Minori. Minori is a girl who no matter what, won’t give up on her dream and encourages others to follow theirs! Someone who looks up to others. Minori has a kind heart and tries to be considerate of others. However, she is also clumsy, tends to get panicked easily, and often has trouble keeping her composure. She looks up to many of her friends and classmates and aspires to be like them (totally didn’t copy and paste this either shhh). I feel like this in my opinion, totally matches Jasmine! The song that I feel like matches her best is Angels Clover.

Winn- See with Winn, I was stuck. I know I wanted them to be in Vivid Bad Sqaud or Leo/Need, I just honestly didn’t know who they would be. I don’t know they would be and I’m still a little unsure 😞but I ultimately went with An and Ichika. An’s story is that she is the daughter of the popular former musician Shiraishi Ken, who now owns a popular live cafe & bar called WEEKEND GARAGE, where she sometimes worked. She hopes to one day surpass the legendary event he put on, called RAD WEEKEND. She has been surrounded by music ever since she was young, and began singing partially because she felt a natural connection to it, and partially because she wanted to be like her dad. She has a lot of connections in the street music scene, due to being Ken's daughter. I feel like this just honestly gives Winn vibes? I don’t know how to explain it 💔 For Leo/Need, I gave them Ichika. Although Ichika seems stoic at first glance, she is a quiet, modest, and kind girl who is always thinking about her friends. Adding to her kind nature, and despite her insistence, she is good at complimenting others. According to one of her friends, she doesn't always communicate very well. (I’m now too lazy to copy and paste this but here’s the photo that explains her more.)

I feel like this sort of gives off Winn vibes? Tbh it’s hard to assign characters to Hazel friends since we barely know anything about them and it’s so sad because they’re so silly 😞😞😞 The songs that match them best are probably Pulse of the Metor and Awake Now.

(1st card is Ichika and the 2nd card is An)

For the vocaloids, they could still be you know, be vocaloids, have them as fairies, or they could be Cosmo, Wanda, and Peri! Like Wanda could be Meiko and Luka, Cosmo could be Kaito and Len, and Peri could be Rin and Miku!

Anyways, here’s all of the songs and their lyrics in one video clip (5:21):

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR READING ANOTHER YAP SESSION, IT MEANS SO MUCH <333 I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY/NIGHT

[violentdelightshavevioletends]

Everything I know prior to reading the first Fourth Wing book & entering the Empyrean universe:

The main character is Violet Sorrengail, she’s got silver in her hair, & has EDS (representation ow/yay) she’s the daughter of a general… and fighting with dragons?—Soulmate besties with two dragons?—Grieving a dragon? Idk… something with dragons😂She and Xaden have some tension? Everyone seems to like Liam? And her brother either died, is secretly alive, or alive and then tragically dies?

Xaden is someone everyone seems to like? Morally grey. Shadow powers? Bad boy with a good heart? And maybe has some tattoos?

Liam seems to be blonde & beloved by the fandom… maybe he’s a love triangle or best friend? Idk.

Dragons… lots of dragon… or so I presume?

That’s about it I think? … I’m mostly reading based on recommendation + it’s always in my feed & personally (while I don’t share much online this is a big one for this series… partially why it took so long cause the medical C-PTSD is hard & sibling grief is hard this time of year) but the chronic illness is chronic illnessing so I’m excited to see a character with EDS written by someone with EDS (yes I have EDS… and POTS, & MCAS, + CCI & the whole shebang of genetic connective tissue issue comorbidity misery)
