hi, just wanted you to know that if you ever wanted to like. interest-dump about cotl and your thoughts about the lore/storyline and stuff as ive seen you show in your art, id read PARAGRAPHS. im so curious and love to hear about people's interest in game/story/media lore and the interpersonal relationships within the universe!!! - from an autistic system who has loved your art since like. forever. (u can call us moss)

okay hi moss :3

i'm kind of due for an infodump on my cotl headcanons, so! i'll try be somewhat concise because this is going to be a long post anyway rip. i drew some pictures :D

(i can't really think of any warnings to give outside of usual cotl themes/killed race/dying/blood/etc but let me know)

obviously watching the destruction of your entire race is traumatic as fuck, also because it likely took a few weeks or months to achieve. so they died pretty underweight/weak bodied/pretty shut down. the bishops are gone by the time lamb is revived by toww, and their body hadn't quite made it to a 'body pit' (or food pit). still, they get Their Bell from another of their race on the way out. probably weren't thinking about it too hard and just desperately wanted to grab something while their eyes burned in their sockets and this red crown fit like molded clay in their hand. my lamb has a little notch out of their left ear which was caused while escaping, which ends up never healing because of a few reasons but mostly because i like it.

over the course of the game/story they start to slowly physically change. after revival it takes scars a Long time to fade, considering lamb is technically a walking corpse, and also because of their affiliation with Death (narinder, who has similar i'll mention later). they get dark marked lines under their eyes from that classic 'bleeding eyes' action during rituals/etc. their ears but especially horns get longer and sharper. their way of coping is similar to most lambs, jokes and pulled punches.

by the end of the 'main game/toww fight,' they've already made their choice, and start flexing their control/communication with the red crown itself. it gets harder for toww to view through it, and lamb gets somewhat intoxicated with the idea of an ultimate revenge, having killed all the other bishops. they've done everything they can to stop their cult members noticing signs of weakness, but as things get more stressful this kind of rubberbands around to them seeming extremely unstable. by the time they go to fight toww they're muttering nonstop, barely aware, and also they let their wool get longer and basically end up with a mullet. <3 because it's funny to me

they obviously beat toww and for them it's like a smashing of clarity, like a gripped handle let go, standing up from the river of blood. it's freeing but also the most pain they've ever been in. and instead of killing toww this pit in their stomach spares him. lamb went from a corpse to a god and now, in some sick way, they want to watch a god turn into a living corpse, just like them. because with every other sheep dead, narinder is the only one with a connection to that genocide, the cause of the other bishops doing it.

narinder hates their fucking guts. obvs. he thinks, or knows, that lamb is doing it on purpose. but narinder's body hasn't been normal for far, far too long. even before he was made death (as in artworks i've done with him), his body turned skeletal and rotted away. lacerations open all over his body, but especially down his front torso. when he's first brought to the cult, lamb gives him red robes, also because of this 'problem'. but narinder does every single thing he can against them. he gets white robes and lets them turn bloodied and disturbing to everyone around him.

even washing them stops working, and lamb does resign slightly to letting him sit in his dirty stupid robes. it's the pettiest shit. narinder also keeps his veil, and lamb can't bother with a reason to take it away. let that dumbass keep his yuck robes and veil. you can only stick him the stockade for a week before your other followers get too concerned.

over time, they do end up getting closer, but it comes from a place from both being touched and changed by Death, the red crown, and the choices of the other bishops. it takes a really long time and only after all the other bishops have been recruited (another whole thing). both of them catch themselves enjoying little things, and then having moments of all the pain bleeding through. an example is over time narinder does end up wearing darker robes, but it's fairly gradual. in this piece, it's lamb getting too deep in the countless lives that were taken from their race, triggered by blood (a whole little story thing), and narinder does make the (semi subconscious) choice to wear dark robes.

anyway you're probably looking at that giant shadow in the picture huh. it takes a long time but lamb Does end up truly becoming a bishop.

not 100% done with this design, but it has the basics. their main horns end up breaking off (thinking of a story behind that still). the main thing with them that i really like is they have multiple strings of bells on them. so everyone starts associating the sound of ringing bells as Death. so if you hear them, they're coming for you. that being said, they also have the ability to move completely silently, despite being covered in bells. which adds to the scaring-the-fuck-out-of-everyone factor.

there's a ton more i could get into with the other bishops, ratau, the duck siblings, the crowns themselves, more aym and baal, but i'm probably gonna do more artworks with them so i can talk more then :3 this is already too long lmao

thanks for the ask though!! it's nice knowing people are interested in my stuff :D (it's also worth mentioning that i am also a system and have alters of lamb, narinder, and aym and baal, who all contribute to this stuff)

Your book sounds so cool!!!

AAAAAA, THANK YOU SO MUCH! It's called The Tale of the Evil Sorcerer/O Conto do Feiticeiro Maligno and it's free to read over Wattpad, but there isn't an english translation and I prob won't do that any time soon, as I'm going to rewrite it someday.

It's about an "evil" sorcerer who kidnapped a princess by accident, only to fall in love at first sight with the knight who came to save her. Things become worse when the princess figures out the sorcerer was never evil at all, but he's so bad at communication that he just let the rumors spread because it was easier than dealing with them, so she decides to strike a deal: She'll help him try to talk with the knight, who also happens to be her BFF, and in turn he will teach her how to be a sorcerer. And no, the knight has no idea what's going on, and he's also been indocrinated his whole life to beliefe that magic = SUPER BAD.

I love these three idiots so much. The sorcerer is called Meia-Noite (Midnight in english), princess is Valentyna, and the knight is Edgar. They share one (1) braincell and are all doomed by the narrative, except the story has a happy ending for everyone. The only villain who's not sympathetic is a transphobe named Joanne Atropa and she's english-coded. This is not a reference to an IRL transphobe/neonazi author, uh-uh, never! Infodump under the cut:

Meia-Noite is a gay disaster who lives in a fortress he found at age 13 in the middle of a jungle. Goth, anxious, and is actually a healer and not a shadow manipulator like the rumors say. He helps people if they get lost and need someone to treat their injuries because his duty as a healer is capable of overtaking his fear of strangers. He's tall with long dark hair but if the wind hits him a bit too hard he goes flying with it, the guy is a STICK.

Edgar is a bi knight who has trained his entire life to protect the girl he sees as a sister. He's autistic, albino and is REALLY serious about his duties as a knight (he's 17) to the point he forgot about everything else. Outside the harsh exterior he's actually a huge sweetie who loves photography and is super curious about magic, but feels super guilty and bad about it.

Valentyna is a lesbian princess who's a prodigy at almost everything she does, but her parents refuse to teach her light magic and she's desperate to help the people of her kingdom. This girl punched Meia the SECOND she was able to do so during the kidnapping, she may not know what she's doing but somehow she is winning the game. She cares so much about everyone around her! Also adopted an albino snake and named it Açúcar (Sugar) 15 seconds after finding her in the palace's gardens.

My girlfriend also wanted to say this:

[image id: "ALSO YOU NEED TO MENTION AÇÚCAR. lovely baby, has never done anything wrong, most important character". end image id]

Some other characters include:

Olhos de Fogo (Fire Eyes), a HUGE dumbass who's also a sorcerer. Pan king, ranked #1 arsonist over three different kingdoms, also ranked most handsome character by the readers (somehow!!!!! People love to thirst over him!) and has a "very gender" title given by me. Doomed by the narrative except unlike the trio he just accepts his fate because he's a huge loser. If this will end well for him or not it's something everyone has yet to see. My girlfriend has this to say about him:

[image id: "i love my terrible slutty son tho". end image id.]

Angélica, Meia's adopted sister, can see the future sometimes and is also a fashion enthusiasts. Use the people in the "fortress" she lives in as test subjects for her clothes, girlie is always tired and a bit terrified of the future ahead but trying her BEST to stay positive. And failing. I want to give her a special treatment in the rewrite because I think she deserves it.

Comandante (Commander), has this name because they're the commander of the non-binary nation. Accidentally misheard Meia-Noite and thought they were supposed to KIDNAP Valentyna instead of politely taking her over for a conversation about why her parents are incompetent at their jobs, now must be the parent friend to everyone. I love them so much, they're an icon to me.

Elisabeth, a princess from a rival kingdom who may or may not be Valentyna's crush. A bit more on the gothic side, had a pretty unusual childhood and her tweenhood was pretty hard. Tries her best to look eloquent and always knowing what to do, but really, REALLY wants to be a bit more loose. She and Tyna will have an enemies/rivals to lovers arc in the rewrite bc why not.

IT/THAT THING/ANYTHING/THE ???????????. A creature that's always watching. Also may be the guy that gave Meia half of his trauma.

The NARRADORA, AKA Narrator, the girl who's telling this story. It's her first big assignment and she LOOOVES saying her opinions about what is going on, much to her professor/adopted father's dismay.

THE NARRADOR, AKA Narrator but masc, is Narradora's older brother and a lot more kept-together than her, except it's all a facade for an equally chaotic creature. Loves gossip.

THE PROTAGONISTA, AKA Protagonist, who's ALSO another narrator. Super insecure because he's still training to be a storyteller, but he has his boyfriend (Narrador) and best friend (Narradora) to help.

THE LOCUTOR, who only appears to narrate like three times max. Older brother figure of the group, a huge cryptid who seems to be the coolest thing ever until you discover he stole an one-night-stand's head for funsies and is yet to give it back.

THE HOMEM VELHO, AKA Old Man, the professor of the group. Never makes a proper apparition but I want to mention him because he's a tired dad, someone PLEASE give him a break.

Results from the shinnie test

So reminder for anyone who forgotten or didn't see it a week ago i made a test for shinnies, to know what and who is the average shinnies. This is my first one but i do intend to make one about other character one day. The results came and i made some silly math and schematic representation of the vote.

Question 1: What is your gender identity ?

We can see that the poll was one in majority by enbies. I've counted and more than 64.2 % of the poll is constituted of queer identity without counting the questioning poll because if we count it too then that would make 77.4. One thing that shocked me was the lack of trans women, where were you girls?!!!

Winner: Nonbinary

Question 2: What is your age ?

So i predicted it, the yttd fandom consist mainly of teen and young adults, but i'm happy that a majority of the shinnies are between 15 to 18, but still there is a majority of 10 to 15 years old in the shinnie fandom since they are second. Also to the two fetuses that voted here(under ten) vanish, please you newborns!!

Winner: 15 to 18

Question 3: Are you neurodivergent ?

I mean were talking about shinnies, like people who relate to shin, so mostly autistic goobers. And the big maybe part come from the fact that a lot of them are on the younger side so they didn't get an official diagnosis.

Winner: yes

Question 4: Do you have a physical illments ?

Just gonna say it i don't have physical issues i just have no muscles and i suck so hard at sports. I know most shinnies are just like me, don't lie. Also for a minute i thought of doing a "do you have a iron/vitamins deficiency poll", it would have probably have a higher vote in yes since i mean....... shinies you know.....they....we.. You know.

( i have iron deficiency........😭)

Winner: tie between yes and no

Question 5) DO you have a job?

If you said yes as adults honestly where are you working? I know most of the no adults are probably in school considering the 18 to 25 ratio in the second question. And to the minors who work already kudos to you, you are the superior shinnie!

Winner: no i'm a minor

Question 6) Are you on the geek/weeb/ tech savy spetrum ?

The thing that chocked me in that poll is the people who aren't any of these. I'm a big geek so a niche rpg video game is exactly my style, weebs can appreciate the mix of original ideas with some anime archetype in the game, but the people that have none of this like how did you find this game ? Yttd is pretty niche honestly, so normies finding this game is pretty insane

Winner: Two of them

Question 7: Are you good at sports ( lmao)

This is a shin poll what did you think?

Winner: No (lol)

Question 8) Are you a dumbass like shin in social situations?

So personally i'm like him in some situation but most of the time i have learned something he clearly did not get, backing down instead of doubling down the stupidity and lies.

So in conclusion: The average Shinnie is a nonbinary, 15 to 18 year old, neurodivergent, either physically ill or not,doesn't have a job ( since they're teens), is a nerd, sucks at sports and of course is a little dumbass like shin.

This was pretty interesting to do! So if you have most of these traits you ARE the average shinnie.

Here the link to the polls if somebody wanna watch the exact results

And if you have an idea for another character please inform me.

#yttd #your turn to die #kimi ga shine #shin tsukimi #shinnies trying not to be queer challenge impossible #stupid ass poll made by a stupid person

[Picture ID: Screenshot of a Twitter post by user RealiaAmelia that reads, It's hard being a young queer woman who's into gemstones in a geology way and not a magic way because I'll be like, Ah, I like this agate pattern, and people will be like, Yeah, it wards off Djinn, and like, I don't think that's true. End ID]

It's hard being into rocks at all. Guess it comes with the consistency of the items we like... the pun just wrote itself, I'm sorry. And it's rough when you're autistic and also have adhd because then you don't have The One special interest. When I went to the shrink last time (a new one), he was asking me what my special interest was and I listed a bunch of things. I mean, as a kid my One Special Interest was outer space. I was obsessed with it. I got my grubby little hands on all books about outer space I could and I wanted to become an astronomer. When I was 10 my Christmas gift was a telescope (that I still have today and still works and is actually pretty decent). But I also liked rocks already and I loved to get random rocks, especially the smooth ones, and break them. Not with a hammer a chisel, I would slam the rocks against a harder rock until it broke (which was a great way to alleviate stress but at the time I didn't know that's why I felt so good doing that). And the purpose was to see what they looked like inside. And I'd rejoice when I found quartz inside or other unexpected colours and stuff. I still have a Pringles can full of rocks from that time, also. And I have several boxes full of rocks I got from beaches and then varnished.

I mean, I never became an astronomer (I'm too dumb for that. I'm the kind of dumbass who doesn't know the multiplication table and the most maths I can do is the rule of three), and I tried geography as my first degree attempt, because I am also too dumb for geology. Turns out I'm also too dumb for geography and never really finished that degree. Or, well, I guess I did because there were some changes in the degrees and some courses I had were split up and I ended up having enough credits to finish it lol

The I moved to languages, literatures, history, and culture, and that's where I wasn't well, a complete failure.

Rambled. Sorry. Special interest mentioned, I couldn't help it.

Point is, OP is right. I have to shut my mouth every time I meet someone who's into gems in an esoteric way. While I do believe in thought-form and the power of belief, that's not why I like the rocks, fam. I like them because they're pretty and because of where they came from and how they came to be. That's it.

#homiro said some shit #not a girl but the point stands it doesn't bother me as much as you'd think got other things to worry about #personal #special interests ramble under the break #sorry #described #if you want to reblog without my ramblings and the description just copy and paste the description it's fine /genuine

I dont know if it's because I'm autistic or didn't learn it as a kid or I'm just not putting in the effort or what, but music is one of the shittiest most overly complicated artforms I have tried to learn thus far. (Kind of became a vent post on accident, but feel free to read.)

Now i will preface this by saying that i am easily the second least disciplined person I know and when I try to "learn" how to do something I'll just look up tutorials online, quit when I dont succeed on the first couple tries, and try again sometime later (maybe). It took actual years of doing this on and off for me to learn how to knit, and not being able to understand those shitty diagrams brought me to tears more than once. I still can't even knit anything besides scarves!!

I don't care if i sound like a whiney bitch baby because I KNOW I'm a whiney bitch baby. I grew up GENUINELY thinking I was better than my peers because I was sooooooooo smart then got throat punched by long division and middle school math. (I'm pretty good at algebra now, but having to memorize all those formulas for geometry is bullshit and I STILL can't do long division lol.) I am THE most whiney little bitch baby on the face of the planet and everything i say after this is probably gonna sound so fucking stupid to anyone who took even one band class in school, and I'm okay with that.

That being said, WHAT THE FUCK??? Another thing I should probably lead with, I don't know SHIT about how music works. I feel like if someone quizzed me on my music knowledge they'd think I was fucking with them, that's how little I know. Here, I'll make a list:

The dots with lines on them are called notes

The strings on a guitar are E, A, D, G, B, and E, in that order (because elephants and donkeys grow bigger ears <3)

I know the order the do re mi's go and you start at the lowest pitch and go to the highest (relative to what, I don't know)

The main melody of a song is like the part people would map lyrics onto if it was an undertale song in the 2010's but idk if there's like a formula or method to identify it other than vibes

There's some PEMDAS shit for remembering the letters that go on each line of sheet music but don't ask me what it is

There. That's it. That is the most comprehensive list of stuff i know about music as of writing this. There's other stuff too, I guess, but it's all like "those fractions(?) next to that sexy shape at the beginning of the sheet music are time signatures, dunno what that means tho lol," so I just didn't include them.

And like,, what the fuck am i supposed to do about that?? I could find stuff online but that'll either take too long, cost actual money, or be for literal children. And like I guess a child's music lesson wouldn't be so bad seeing as I am literally below an elementary school level when it comes to this shit but FUCK ME i feel stupid enough as is. I guess I shouldn't be so harsh on myself cause like if someone were talking to one of my friends like that I'd be pissed, but that's not what this post is about. I don't wanna have someone to try and teach me this in person either cause like I said, I can get easily frustrated about this sorta stuff and I dont wanna upset someone or embarrass myself ya know?

I only wanna learn this sorta thing cause I think playing an instrument or making music on my computer using one of those programs I've seen online sounds neat!! I also just dont wanna sound like a dumbass around my friends who actually know music stuff. But I genuinely don't know a single thing about any of this and trying to learn makes me want to claw my fucking skin off and break my own bones. (I wouldn't, just so you know, but I don't think I'm exaggerating too much when it comes to wanting to. Idk feelings are hard.)

Idk man, i just need to fix myself. Whatever that means. Might make a separate post listing all the shit I don't know about music in case anyone wants to help with that. Y'all don't got to tho, just thinking about it.

I need some help.

Hi. I don't really know what to do but I kind of have nowhere else to talk about this and I would really like some advice. I know what I'm getting into with turning to this website, but some of y'all actually are helpful, so if you know anything that might help...I'd appreciate it.

As you can tell, I am autistic. I also have adhd, which doesn't help, especially with focus. And about a year ago I decided to stop masking because it was giving me extra anxiety and it up too much energy when I had other things going on at the time. At first, it was okay because there were people who were okay with who I was without the mask, but it turns out when I make mistakes that come from having autism and not trying to mask, they didn't even try to understand.

The problem is, when I don't mask, I do not think about what comes out of my mouth. A lot of the time, what comes out is a bunch of gushing about something (e.g. an outfit, a tv show I think is cool), a spiel of information about something interesting (e.g. the history behind the word antidisestablishmentarianism, among other things), or something relevant or helpful. But sometimes...things that are really, really stupid come out. And those stupid things can be hurtful.

I've had a lot of friendships end because of things that I've said. Some of them weren't entirely my fault and it shouldn't have been on me to take responsibility for what happened, but I've just fucked up really badly with one of my oldest friends and I've realised that this is a problem. While the ones that ended previously happened because others took something I said very bluntly (and got cut off saying) the wrong way, this time it's worse.

What happened was I used the wrong pronouns when I was talking to some people that my friend and I both knew. They weren't out to those people, and I forgot that because I just wasn't thinking about it, and I accidentally outed them to our acquaintance. Immediately after I said it, I knew I'd fucked up, and I told them about it. They told me they felt unsafe, and we no longer talk, which I understand why and respect that because I should have never made them feel unsafe. I don't expect them to ever forgive me, and they shouldn't. If I had even thought about their safety beforehand, I wouldn't have said it, but I didn't. I just didn't think, and that meant I hurt my friend and that they are no longer my friend.

(To some extent, our friendship was based on flawed principles and we would have had a falling out at some point, but that doesn't excuse any kind of behaviour that is hurtful.)

But this can't ever happen again. I need to actually think before I speak because I could put someone in danger. I've tried and tried, I can't seem to make myself do it without the social anxiety that I worked so hard to get over, or the intense focus that masking requires (which also gives me anxiety). I may be a dumbass, but I'm not unaware of the consequences of my actions. The problem is, these consequences don't prevent terrible things from coming out of my mouth. And even when what I said wasn't actually hurtful - people don't stop and try and think about what you actually mean, and that means if I fuck up minorly, I ruin friendships. If I fuck up majorly, I could* endanger people.

How do I think about what I say before it comes out of my mouth and does damage? How do I do that without masking and bringing the anxiety back? What am I supposed to do?

*the acquaintance in question was supportive of the person's gender identity and couldn't reveal that information to anyone who wouldn't be who could hurt the person in question, but that doesn't mean I didn't make them unsafe, and next time we may not be so lucky. I also understand some people are safer to be out than others, and where I might forgive someone for accidentally outing me, they cannot because they are not in a safe position to come out and might never be. Also it was a shitty thing to do regardless.

Fuyuhiko x Autistic!Reader

Written by an Autistic person

To be honest, I doubt Fuyuhiko knows much about disorders such as Autism. I mean like, he's heard of many but he doesn't know jack shit about any of them

That being said, when you tell him you'll either have to tell him or ask him to do some research if you're not great at explaining.

He'll try to act annoyed but the more he learns, the more things make sense.

Why you would shy away from certain textures, why you would sometimes miss jokes, etc.

If you are friends when you tell him, he won't make a big deal of it. He'll be more thoughtful but he'll try to hide it, like...

"Oh yeah, there's a fire drill today.. Have these noise canceling headphones. I bought them to drown out the dumbasses here but you can borrow them.. Just don't break em."

If you are dating and tell him, well, he goes out of his way for your comfort.

Stim toys, weighted blankets, noise canceling headphones, maybe even a service animal if you need one.

He may ask questions that seems ignorant but he is genuinely trying to learn.

Thinks your stims are cute, honestly. Don't expect him to admit that very often though.

Being the hothead he is, he will occasionally snap at you.. And then immediately feel horrible for doing so.

How he would apologize would depend on how bad he snapped. For silent apologies he will give you gifts but if he went too far, he will outright apologize no matter how hard it is for him to find the words.

Worries about you a lot. Whether it be from small things like 'are they overwhelmed' to lowkey having a crisis..

He's a Yakuza, and not just that, he's the hier to his clan. He's worried his family business will put stress on both you and your relationship with him.

But he wants to make it work.

Your brain works differently than his, he can't hold that against you. Its not something you can help.

He loves that you think differently, your peculiar points of view can offer amazing insight and good laughs.

May consider breaking up but will throw that off the table. He loves you too much.

Although if you wanted to split, he would understand. Despite how badly it would break his heart.

Although not every struggle is so existential, sometimes he just wants to beat up anyone who belittles or mocks you.

Like absolutely nobody would get away with saying SHIT about you. At least, not without their dental plan going up.

Absolutely adores the little trinkets you collect and occasionally give to him.

He knows you struggle to verbally express yourself sometimes, when thathappens, you use things like sparkling rocks or cool old coins to express affection.

Fuyuhiko has a drawer dedicated to all the little gifts you've given him. He'll look inside it every once in a while and just smile.

He loves you, and your Autism is a part of you. He cherishes every piece of you that makes you who you are.

There will be some tough times but Fuyuhiko would go through hell and high water just to hold your hand.

Feel free to send requests (I'm on a Fuyuhiko Kick rn)

Character ref for; Jack, Maddie and Jazz,

Art by @gally-hin / @gally-hin-phantom

Okay so first off; in terms of Actual redesign, I didn't change a whole lot. I'm actually very fond of Jack and Maddie's design's, my only real issue was with their proportions. Like...look as a lady person who is also thiCC I do not have a fucking wasp thin waist and I'm sure I'm not the only one, lmao. As for Jack? Godamnit he looked like a brick on toothpicks. Just Let him be a fucking Bara man! Anyway of course I asked Gally to do this one bc they're fucking great at drawing different body types

I also cannot and will not take credit for Jazz's outfit. I didn't have any issue with her canon clothes aside from them being a bit plain, so what she's wearing here was literally pulled straight off of her original concept art, which I will link here.

Anyway, getting to the Actual character lore now, let's start with

Maddie Fenton

-Full name is Madeline (I haven't decided on a maiden name yet)

-Born and raised on a farm in Arkansas, had a southern accent that she trained herself out of in college bc it was just one more reason for people not to take her seriously. Still sometimes uses "y'all" completely unironically bc old habits die hard.

-She has a really big family, and they're proud of her accomplishments but feel like she's wasting her talent studying ghosts, because really, up until the Fenton portal was up and running there wasn't even any solid proof they existed. Her sister Alicia is the one outlier there, and even if she doesn't understand, it she completely supports her.

-She majored in engineering and minored in psychology at Wisconsin EDU. Her, Jack and Vlad were all in the same engineering class, and that's where they met.

-Maddie is particularly interested in how ghosts think, analysing their behavior, their motives. Not only that, but they aren't just dead people with unfinished business, they've built an entire culture in the Ghost Zone that is completely seperate from humanity, and she wants to understand all of it.

-skilled marksman and 9th degree black belt, (which is. The highest fucking level there is holy shit? I looked it up after I saw it on her wiki page.)

Jack Fenton

-He's from Minnesota (Amity park is in Illinois and him and Maddie didn't move there until after they got married)

-okay, "but why minnesota specifically" you ask? Because. I crave. Foot ball discourse.

-minnesota vikings vs green bay packers guys do you UNDERSTAND WHERE IM GOING WITH THIS

-The funny thing is that Jack only watches football casually while Vlad is a fucking die hard so when these two got together to see a game it was like....

-Jack: Here to chill and have a good time.

-Vlad: Primed and ready to start a fist fight at any given moment.

-I am never not going to be salty about how Canon Jack was portrayed like a complete moron 99% percent of the time. Like no...theres a difference between Actual Stupid and ADHD induced dumbass-ery.

-Am I saying Jack Fenton has ADHD? Yes. why? Because I also have ADHD and I have always vibed So Hard with his Character.

-Jack is loud and easily excited about things that interest him. He's impulsive and fidgety and yeah, a bit absent minded. He has a mouth that clearly runs so much faster than his head. His train of thought doesn't get derailed so much as it stops and takes several different detours on the way to it's final destination.

-and that's only the tip of the iceberg, really, I'd need an entire essay to get into this completely, but I just really relate.

-Jacks skill-set / interests regarding ghosts vary a bit from Maddie's, most notably in the sense that he doesn't believe that they're static entities already set in their ways, completely incapable of change.

-Jack majored in engineering and minored in Biology at Wisconsin EDU.

-Jack's work with tech is a bit hit or miss. He definitely HAS the engineering skills, but the intrest isn't always there and he's constantly jumping back and forth between different projects. He tends to focus on the concept work and schematics and leave most of the assembly to Maddie as a result. It's an arrangement that works well for them, and has drastically decreased the number of unintentional explosions in the lab.

-A lot of Jack's work tends to revolve around ghostly biology and Ectoplasm, figuring out how ghosts are made, what makes them tick, what the hell Ectoplasm Actually Is, how it's used as an energy source, ect.

-and yes, that does also mean he handles the dissections.

-See that facial scar? Yeah, that's not actually there at the start of the series rewrite but it's very important for plot reasons so I had to include it. Can't say much more on the subject because SPOILERs owo.

Jasmine Fenton

-Jazz is a 18 years old, and a senior at Casper high.

-Which means she prepping to go away to college and won't be around to keep an eye on Danny.

-Obviously that doesn't mean I'm just writing her out of the story, oh no. Know why? Because she's also gonna go to Wisconsin EDU. ya know who else is in Wisconsin? Fuckin' Vlad.

-Jazz is autistic, Although she passes for neurotypical in part due to symptoms being completely over looked in girls due to gender stereotyping and also the fact that she doesn't have any special interests that are considered " "too weird.""

- Her hyperfixation with psychology started at a young age in an effort to better understand people, and social/emotional cues and all that.

-Jazz is well liked at school but she's not popular or apart of any specific group or clique. She's very kind and compassionate to people, and just about everyone knows her, but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who actually Considered her a friend. Except maybe Spike.

-I'm gonna have to give spike his own Character ref at some point, but he's this scary looking goth kid that's been held back twice. He's actually super sweet, just really fuckin' quiet and anxious. Him and jazz kinda ended up gravitating towards each other. She might do most of the talking, but they look out for each other.

-its not like jazz doesn't try to socialize, but it's difficult and she's found it much easier and less stressful to just. Keep to herself and let her interactions with her peers stay shallow and superficial. Sure, it's lonely sometimes but it's better than constantly worrying about saying the wrong thing or making some other misstep.

-One of Jazz's other special interests is football, and it's not so much the players or the game as it is the strategy of it? Started out as one of those things you do to bond with your dad, and she ended up getting really into it.

-She absolutley winds up getting into stupidly intense discussions with Vlad about it, too, lmao.

-Her and Danny probably bonded over SBNation bc that shit has both sentient satellites and ridiculously complex football mechanics.

-She's completely oblivious to the fact, but Dash has a massive crush on her bc holy shit this girl understands football (hey bud your toxic masculinity is showing put that shit away)

-I mentioned that Danny was in Cheer for a bit in middle school so it makes sense that she'd also be pushed into doing some kind of extracurricular activity.....so.....she was in a martial arts class for a bit thanks to Maddie and has a good grasp on self defense.

I think that's everything? I feel like I'm leaving things out tho? Idk if I did I'll come back and add on to this later and also pls don't hesitate to ask questions bc it really helps me flesh things out better.

Can you tell me what u like about different addams adaptations I'm in a MOOD right now and the mood is. Family ❤

YES OF COURSE okay so I haven’t seen the new movie yet because I’m a Coward and can’t face it not being good but

Comics

Vibes: impeccable

The TV Show

I love how it’s just Silly

Like the tv show leans the hardest into the “yeah they’re goth and weird and people are scared of them but it’s not because they’re trying to be scary it’s just because this is what makes them happy and they’re committed to being happy as themselves even though it’s totally different from external expectations”

I LOVE baby!Wednesday I think she’s so neat she’s just like. She’s a weird kid! She likes to dance with the eight foot tall butler! She’s learning and figuring stuff out about herself! Her parents love her!

I think as far as morosexual representation goes, the tv show has it on lock. Gomez is so fucking stupid he’s so fucking stupid but he loves his wife SO much and Morticia is so endeared by him being a complete and total dumbass. Sometimes you simply must stand on your head for 3-5 hours and that’s just how it is!

OPHELIA! OPHELIA! MY BEST FRIEND!

I like how all the character choices especially for side characters are just off the wall insane. Like yeah okay Ophelia has flowers growing out of her head and is an incurable romantic who judo flips everyone she interacts with. Okay Cousin Itt sounds like that and is a ladies’ man who can’t hold down a job. Alright Lurch is the only one with anything resembling a critical thinking skill. It’s less about being ~scary~ and more about just being...outsiders I guess. Outsiders who all love each other I :pleading_face:

I think it’s VERY neat that Gomez and Morticia don’t kiss ever because it’s very much the like...writing rule of “if people need to kiss for you to know they’re in love then they’re not in love” and I. I just. Hold on a second hold on. The inherent romance of sword-fighting,

Addams Family (1991) & Addams Family Values (1993)

Raul Julia as Gomez is my Gender he is my Gender he is so stupid and has so many cool suits I love him So Much

I think Wednesday and Pugsley’s relationship RULES there’s not as much of it in the show but I think that they are just Peak siblings that’s just what being siblings is like. Sometimes you lock your younger brother in a chair and electrocute him but, like, out of love

All the dance stuff...”How long has it been since we waltzed?” and the tango scene in Values and the Mamushka.....I just think it’s Me Rights

The INSANE decision to have the plots of both focus around Fester. For WHAT reason. Truly for WHAT reason WHO asked for that! Who wanted two whole movies about Fester! And yet!

As much as I love the casual domesticity of tv show Gomez and Morticia I love the Yearning Drama of the movies just as much “a day alone, only that would be death” is!!!! It’s so MUCH and the kiss that ‘91 ends on and “you still desire me, after all these years?” aaaaAAAA

Pubert.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TRAINS. I KNOW THEY’RE FROM THE SHOW TOO BUT. EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TRAINS. A WISE SCHOLAR @sunflowerbutch ONCE SAID GOMEZ IS AUTISTIC AND THEY WERE RIGHT

The vague implications that they’re Jewish :D

The Musical (Including Chicago, Broadway, and Touring)

Live Before We Die into Tango De Amor.....I’m nothing if not predictable and I simply think that couples dancing,

Let’s Not Talk About Anything Else But Love makes me SO happy Gomez loves his wife! He loves his wife!

I’m a known Clandango (the opening song in Chicago) stan and while it doesn’t work as well as an opening as When You’re An Addams I do think it rules so hard and it sets up some interesting stuff for Wednesday

Keep no SECRETS! if you want him to REMAIN your LOVER (dun duhduhduhduh)

I don’t like any of the plot of any of the musicals unfortunately I think they’re hot garbage. But I deeply respect the choice to make Fester the narrator, carrying on the still-baffling tradition of Fester Focused Addams Family Adaptations

...secrets. are the enemies of pasSION speaking true will get you...through the day truth! is not a thing that one should ration! but i think you think of it that way...NEVER KEEP A SIN INSIDE THE CLOSET! ALWAYS GIVE THE FACTS A FIGHTING CHANCE! every time you do is a deposit....in the longterm life of your ROMAAAAAAAANCE

Move Towards the Darkness is a stunningly beautiful song every version of it is gorgeous the harmonies are gorgeous it’s the only part of the Whole show that gets the Themes Right and it’s just. Man. Man what a song

#asks #transromanroy #addams family #THANK U MOLLY

Someone I know (around my mom's age) shared some dumb 'millenials cant read analog watches or cursive and dont know what a rotary phone is hahahaa' type jokes on Facebook and a friend of mine made her own post about how it was incorrect (because we grew up with those things???) and that's more gen z, but Also that even so, why does it matter, why do older people need to put down/make fun of kids? And this woman was like 'sorry but it was just a joke, and if it doesnt apply then it's not about you' and im so pissed

[[MORE]]

Because yeah I cant fucking read an analog clock because I'm fucking dyscalculic/adhd/autistic and somewhere in there I was never able to really get it perfectly, I'm not Awful at it but its difficult! it's hard to process and translate analog into actual time, why not move along with the times and just use digital it's easier and it fucking makes sense. Why cling to the old like its somehow Better than new?! or do you abhor all technology that's meant to make your life easier? I doubt it!! But like this dumbass judgment that we're stupid and lazy and it's so funny, Haha. That hurts because it's another person saying to me that I should just. Magically not have a brain that cant process certain things easily. Im not dumb and im not any lazier than this older lady who thinks she knows everything. My brains just wired differently. So yeah it applies to me and some of us, but you really think there are no older people who couldnt/cant read analog clocks? Who do you think invented digital clocks and why do you think they did it, hmmm? Because perhaps analog is difficult for some people and digital takes less time out of everything else to parse? Hmmm? Anyway so yes im mad and bothered and upset and offended, maybe my friend isnt someone it applies to but maybe she is! And anyway that doesnt mean it's ok to joke about or put down those of us who can't. Or put down or make fun of the gen z kids for stuff that isnt their fault!

Also, if you notice young people who dont know how to read analog or cursive (which is also not needed really and thus probably not being taught anymore or used... and fyi ALL of my professors who took hand written assignments Insisted on print only, including my sharp witted 60 something year old art history prof who didnt miss a beat. He also wasnt afraid to call us out on shit, and he was my favorite professor tbh because I got amazing grades and he remembered me despite me not speaking up much at all in class. But anyway...) the point of that is to say, if you notice young people who dont know how to read either of those, before you make fun or them or put them down or sum them up as typical [whatevers] why not ask who didnt teach them how to do those things. What adult your age decided not to teach the kids how to read an analog watch? Who didnt tell the kids or grandkids or students about what a typewriter is or how a rotary phone worked. If your kid or student doesnt know something you know, that's on the adults in their life, not on them. Dont laugh about how millenials dont know what a rotary phone is, or use a kid not knowing what that is as an excuse to put them down because you feel like all the technology you knew is going away and being forgotten and it makes you anxious that you too will be forgotten. Teach the kids. Ask them if they know about x or know how to do x, and then show them, teach them, tell them about your old phone, or your first clunky portable phone with its giant antenna, or about how you learned how to write in cursive. Make them interested in these things by sharing your knowledge with them. Theyll remember you better that way, and theyll know about all the things you dont want to leave behind. Dont judge them for not knowing something as if they should just know it magically, look at yourself and at other adults and realize that if we or the younger people dont know something you know, that's on YOU.

That's different from bring concerned about kids not learning how to type or use a laptop/mouse/etc. Those things arent out of use yet and these kids are going to have to use them at some point. But it's not an excuse to make fun of them, not for anyone to do that. If you notice your nephew or niece or younger sibling doesnt know a thing about typing on a real keyboard (and not on a tablet) why not offer? Find a typing game or make a game out of writing a story on your laptop on docs or word with them.

If you, older lady on Facebook, think kids should know how to read cursive, suggest it be taught, or teach it to the kids you know! You can write letters in cursive to your grandkids, and help them (or suggest their parents help them) to parse the flowing script, or you can start slower and show them how cool it can be to write in cursive and how to do it. They may not need it, but knowledge is always worth having. And it can be fun to learn things, especially stuff you're not going to be graded on. It can become you and your grandkids' special thing writing cursive letters about whatever, the weather, their pokemon cards, the cool bird they saw.... teach them about a rotary phone, my grandma used to have one for me and my sisters and cousins to play pretend with. I learned cursive in school. I didnt learn how to bake or cook or sew or embroider but I want to learn all of it. Typewriters are cool and aesthetic tbh but difficult to work with, and a computer is far more efficient. Its only logical that things become obsolete with time. Analog clocks are difficult to read for many people afaik, digital clocks are very simple to understand, and efficient time wise because you just need to glance at one to know that you have to leave Now to be on time...or that you've been reading too long and its 3am. Oops.

Anyway I wanted to just be like, if we (or more accurately, the gen z kids) dont know something like how to read cursive, perhaps the fault lies with the adults and the bot at all with us/the children??? Also other people can be upset with a joke that's in bad taste.

I also want to comment to her that I cant read analog clocks because my brain has a hard time processing it in spite of my efforts, and I dont appreciate being the butt of a joke that is either implying we're dumb and lazy, or is hiding an insecurity over obsolete technology being left behind

But I also have to see this woman at shul sometimes and it would be awkward (but satisfying). Especially if ma saw it and got involved because this lady is her friend, it would just be very awkward. But this lady is being judgemental and made a half assed apology.

Also there was another lady on the friend's post who is also older who originally agreed that ita unfair to put us/the kids down like that and uncalled for as well, but then someone else younger mentioned that older people will joke about us not knowing this older tech and then come to us for help with a pdf. And it was a snarky way t ok point out the hypocrisy - the older people being in the wrong for their attitude towards us firat!!! - and that lady commented on his reply saying that she can open pdfs and respect is a two way street or something like that and im so baffled how she went from being on our side (being reasonable and logical) to nasty defensive asshole over a much softer and also very deserved joke! Which was not aimed at her because she was on our side, it was very clearly aimed at the old people who think we're all useless layabout idiots or whatever. But she still got defensive for no reason! And the whole respect thing like??? Older person was disrespectful, so this guy made a little joke at the expense of those shitty older people, is basically told old people dont respect us because we dont respect them.......because one kid made a joke after being disrespected. Sure, that makes total sense! Yeah!
