#I'll straight up die

[egophiliac]

do you have youtube channel?

technically yes, but I just use it to host unlisted videos for embedding, so there's nothing, like, public on it. :') sorry! I basically don't post anywhere except here and occasionally on pixiv (in case it's not obvious, I suck at social media).

Need an au where Will is a waiter at some diner in Louisiana and Hannibal is down there for whatever fucking reason but he stops in everyday cause despite the ....charm of the place not being his usual dining deal it's actually pretty good and the waiter is super cute. Anyways. Hannibal kills all the customers who are rude to Will.

Okay so maybe the wrinkly split head devil isn't the Aging devil itself, since it being called aging definitelly feels like a mistranslation and and public safety wanting to erase old age by sacrificing the younger generation fits the point the chapter is trying to get across much nicer than if the devil was aging itself (+ if you think about it for 2 seconds erasing aging as a whole is a terrible fucking idea since no one will be able to grow anything anymore and people will be stuck as babies and kids forever whereas erasing old age should just make people not age past adulthood and probably cause people who are already elderly to just dissapear on the spot)

But that doesn't mean i'm keeping Cherryboy the exact same because if old age specifically is enough to achieve primal fear level then aging as a whole has gotta be one too. So hooray! someone's getting a slight revamp in the future :)

like vergil-losing, I'm going to be a little quiet for a few days at least. I'm absolutely wrung out from work and I just don't have much energy to be silly on the internet.

OH GOD WHERE DID DASBOARD UNFUCKER GO

[space-spring]

One thing that I keep thinking about in regards to Tactics Ogre is the presence of the vaguely humanoid reptilian guys. Like the game has straight-up dragons of varying types, but then you've also got these guys that are just. guys but reptiles. And at first I was going "okay maybe they're just supposed to be mindless monsters like the undead?" but at some point in the game Canopus gets into a fistfight with one of them when he (Canopus) interrupts some singing. So this reptile guy has clearly got the emotional wherewithal to both listen to someone sing and also to get mad when someone interrupts!

The PSP version apparently has a description for the reptiles that mentions they're a "crude race with limited intellect." But are they REALLY limited in intellect or is it just racial prejudice?? You also see them being included in various mercenary bands throughout the game, and they seem to wear human clothing and armor, which implies that at least some of them have some idea of trade and currency, and most of them have the understanding of how to dress for their own protection. For all intents and purposes there is nothing that really stands out as evidence that they're less intelligent than standard humans

coming out to say I think the ending was evil as balls and horrible to sam why'd you force him to live intrinsically broken inside and hollow living for the longest soul-decaying while without the person he loves most waking up every day and going goddammit not again while becoming a shell of a human it's almost sadistic why'd you do this to him

67 - Patience

Thank you for taking your time with me. Thank you for staying. It... means more to me than you can ever know.

W-would you be patient with me a moment longer...? Just while I get my words... my f-feelings in order...? I've been waiting... waiting oh-so-long to tell you... to tell you that I, um...

...a-and you don't need to answer right away! I-in fact, I don't think I'd really mind if you, umm... didn't give one. Just now, I mean. B-but soon, okay? I... don't mind waiting a little longer, haha.

But anyway! I just, umm... I really... l-like you, a lot. N-not in a creepy way or anything! Just, um. A normal way. I... like you, and I like spending time with you, and I would like to spend more time with you. That's... I just wanted you to know. If that's, um, okay.

...it feels pretty good to have finally said it out loud, actually. Even if you're not exactly... well, here. B-but it's okay! Because I can be pretty patient too... and just knowing you'll be back soon is enough for me right now.

...though perhaps it wouldn't be so bad... if I didn't tell you anyway.

i can't believe i come back momentarily from the dead and it's with more cancerous memes. Two versions bc god had other plans, none which included not having both of these.

I need a minute. to process the update

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

one of these days i'll write up a post about the parallels and foils between vivi and hermes and why it fucking kills me. for now all i can say is in hindsight the 'latched onto vivi Hard as a kid' to 'latched onto hermes Hard as an adult' pipeline is Real

ahhh .. i wanted to talk a little bit about the way i approach things like shipping on this blog!

i will never, ever go into a dynamic asking for it to be a romantic ship, and i will likewise almost never entertain the idea of plotting out a dynamic if my writing partner makes it clear they're only there to ship! hakkai is a muse that demands a lot of emotional connection before discussing shipping is even a possibility.

that said, i do LIKE shipping—i am more than happy to entertain romantic ships with people who have gone through the effort of plotting and developing a relationship with hakkai outside of that. i think shipping is fun and a really good way to explore character development. it's just that i really don't want to jump right into a dynamic with that expectation in mind.

also, as an aside, i don't do poly ships on this blog except under very specific circumstances. hakkai is strictly monogamous and expects strict monogamy of any potential romantic partners. the only exception he or i would EVER make to this standard would be a ship between him, sanzo, and gojyo, but even that would require extensive plotting.

TL;DR: i like shipping but we have to have an established non-romantic muse dynamic first.
