Soulmates AU as playing cards, part three: Jaig Eyes and Diamonds


Click for better quality!
#star wars#star wars tcw#ahsoka tano#captain rex#soulmates au#and they were soulmates (omg they were soulmates)#jessica's art#their story is gonna be really fun you guys#its got a lot of differences from canon!#most notably the fact that jango finds out baby-rex has soulmarks and has to cope with the idea of the clones being PEOPLE with SOULS#(he copes by saying 'naaaahhhh this one's probably just special' and trying to adopt baby-rex)#(this has major ramifications for the rest of rex's life)#(rex becoming a mandalorian is not one of them)

The path of the Hunt seems a bit self-contradictive.
Yes, most of the Hunt characters are proactive, energetic, enthusiastic, and singleminded, but 'hunt' in the traditional sense implies murder. Whereas most of it's characters seem to be motivated by the sanctity of human life, to a certain extent, or the idea of protection at all costs. It's usually not obvious at first glance but becomes clear when you get to know them a bit better.
Seele, who seems unfriendly and gruff at first, whose singular concern is the safety of the Underworld
Yanqing, an arrogant and overconfident child who, without hesitation, challenges two ancient legendary warriors to protect the people of the Luofu.
Sushang, who is called 'naive' in her Character details, is already a Cloud Knight at 15, who spends her days helping others and protecting the people of the Luofu.
Dr. Ratio, whose underlying philosophy of "all lives are worth living" is hidden under his stern exterior.
Topaz, whose methods are absolutely messed up and horrible, but her sincere goal is to give the people of Jarilo-VI the best chances to survive, whether they want it or not.
Boothill, who pulls a gun at everybody he meets, seems genuinely offended when Aventurine accuses him of killing his bodyguards. Disqualified for shooting an innocent disabled teen suffering from severe PTSD in the face for no reason. And then lying about it.
#honkai star rail#my stuff#seele#yanqing#sushang#dr ratio#topaz#boothill#dan heng#DH is notably absent from the list because he doesn't fit#probably because he's actually a Destruction character in disguise#I mean he mostly seems to want to be left alone#to just peacefully work in his archive#he does care about his friends#but only to certain extent#he did risk his freedom and probably life#when he returned to the luofu to protect his friends from blade#only to completely forget about it#and join blade to beat up a child#yeah I still can't believe how awful some of the writing in the Luofu story ark was#it's as bad as if in 2.3 boothilll joins the ipc and proceeds to steal candy from a baby on their orders

Well, it took a while, but here we are, the final chapter of "Start At The Beginning...Sort Of!" Which is also the longest chapter, because -- as per the chapter title -- this is where all the exposition lives. XD But yes, if you were at all interested in seeing how this story wrapped up, here you go!
#valicer in the dark au#fanfic#corpse bride#alice madness returns#the smiler#blades in the dark#valicer#crossover#victor van dort#alice liddell#smiler alton#yeah this one involves a lot of the characters explaining things about themselves to each other#notably Alice summing up her life story#and Smiler explaining their whole deal with their glowing yellow eyes#which amusingly Victor and Alice totally just accepted as 'of course you would have those' before it came up#but yeah the gang has found their lair and realized what their next course of action should be#and now it is on to the next adventure#whenever that may come out

As a model for Brinker Hadley I used Gore Vidal.
jay parini and gore vidal respectively, the united states of amnesia / john knowles, a separate peace
id in alt.
#that elliot roosevelt line… kind of cunty. spirit of gore is in that one. to me#this is also just an excuse to share the gore vidal alan cumming wasabi story. because im OBSESSED lik#alan says he ''miraculously didn’t implode'' and basically just took a swig of his drink after he did That#but every so often he heard him making weird grunts… it was his first time having wasabi CRAZY OLD MAN#that article overall is kind of bleak though like. vidal was known as combative and bitchy for a reason#and cumming comes to the conclusion for a number of reasons that he and his partner had crazy intimacy issues which i don't think is like a#crazy thing to believe about him/them. like he had issues. i can say this because we are good and close friends.#howard was gore’s life partner#their relationship kind of sat on the border between friendship and romance but everyone refers to howard as his partner#which gore never contradicted#he talks about howard in his memoir point to point navigation after the former’s death#which is like. sad. they lived together for over 50 years literally they shacked up very soon after he came out of the war so like YOUNG#and he was reportedly kind of miserable in the last 8 years without howard#a separate peace#gv#web weaving#brinker hadley#john knowles#gore vidal#OH ALSO he was related to a number of politicians most notably jackie o by marriage#so like the elliot roosevelt line isn't entirely unwarranted

#i get that her story has been told and part of it is that what she makes of her life from here on out#is not particularly notable in a GOOD way because she stopped the cycle of hatred. for herself at least#but also i so badly want to see her choose good and continue to struggle i love to see the satisfying follow through on a character arc#i need more catharsis MOOOOORE#also i just want her to be taken care of for once. by herself by somebody else by a group of people#oh reva o|–< ………………… wauhhhh wah wahh#reva sevander#obi wan kenobi series#kenobi series#kenobi show#scout.txt

i have to ask because ive seen the name spelled with and without the accent- is it cléo or cleo?
it’s cléo! and omg okay i actually had a written thing for this back when i was first setting my girl up but it’s lost in the void now…….. so her maternal grandmother grew up in france and was named anya right. huge huge pianist during her time. and it’s bc of her grandmother that cléo’s mom kemi grew up to be a child of the industry herself (MORE ON THAT LATER!) but kemi wanted to honor anya with her own daughter + just really liked the name cleo (which means to ‘make famous’ btw…) so: cléo anya! the accent is just there for decoration tbh i think it just makes it look prettier LMFAOOO
#⠀⠀⠀⠀﹒⎯⎯ answered.#cléo’s name is very purposefully chosen it’s so important to her story and how she holds herself against the narrative#the narrative: me#IF I CAN JUST YAP IN THE TAGS#like i said above cleo (or clio) means to make famous!#which is so important because all the women in her life are Known Stars…. it was only natural for her to follow in their footsteps!#singing comes natural to her (growing up in the church as a choir kid) so she was very comfortable with it#but after moving to sk and getting her roots ripped out and replanted a whole continent away and having music / singing being taken in such#a different context than she was used to….. oh she suffered BAD 😭 my poor girl….#also note that the most notable person with the name cleo would be a certain queen of egypt…#and as someone who used to play chess (not competitively god fuck no AJAHAHDJW) the ranks and titles of the chess pieces and what they can#do have always interested me#and at the risk of sounding like a fucking nerd (🤓☝🏽) having cléo embody the queen piece ……ohhmfjrheuej#cause the queen piece is the most powerful piece on the fucking board !!! (miss me with that king shit idc)#like if your queen is GONE you’re practically defenseless. and so having cléo’s name also have queen-like connotations and then having her#fuckass ex nearly check her ass out of a career#vibrating fast enough to shatter glass DO YALL UNDERSTAND…….#alright let me stop.

Funny mental health story from your local disaster
So as far as I was aware, I've never been diagnosed with ADHD or Autism (shocking I know), but I still have these memories of childhood that like read as me masking way WAY before I knew masking was a thing
And I was sharing those stories with my mom the other day and talking to her about how I should maybe look into a diagnosis and stuff
And she just fucking drops "I mean we took you to a therapist when you were 7 and she said you didn't have autism"
so that's already a fucking bombshell for me, because like I vaguely remember that therapist, but fuck if I have any memories of anyone talking diagnosis with me
AND THEN SHE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH
"Yeah but you were diagnosed with ADHD and some other thing with a long name I can't remember"
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'VE HAD AN ADHD DIAGNOSIS FOR 20 YEARS AND NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT IT!?
WE COULD BE TAKING MEASURES TO HELP ME WITH THIS CRAP THIS ENTIRE TIME
no wait hold on
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE ANOTHER THING YOU DON'T EVEN FUCKING REMEMBER!?!?!?!
so uh yeah, that's how I found out that my silly self diagnosis was at least 50% right
#self indulgence#adhd#mental health#life story#y'all better not talk shit about my mom#she was younger than I am now when this all happened#she's a very caring mother even if she fucked up from time to time#this is a particularly notable fuck up#but she's still great

/obey me! vent/
#jessamine rambles#before i start. pls keep in mind that this is fully subjective and could just be a 'me' problem. i just want to get this off my chest#ngl i've been contemplating on whether i want to stop playing obey me. both the og game and nightbringer#idk i've been playing the game since its first month and while it's given me a lot of joy + memories + chances to befriend other ppl. i'm#pretty burned out. not to mention TIRED of my consistent disappointment with the game#the main story.....where do i start?? i actually enjoyed s1-s3 despite my qualms with the fillers and pacing but s4 disappointed me. i was#rlly looking forward to simeon's storyline and the new characters but ultimately. the devs tried to squeeze too many things into one season#not to mention that there is a notable difference in how the characters are written. i.e. beel's hunger and asmo's beauty#being watered down to running gags instead of the complexities explored in the old dg stories and chara songs#gameplay-wise. i was there when the devs raised the rewards price of the event urs and removed the demon ssrs completely#but nightbringer was the last straw for me. the amount of time it takes to grind for two games. knowing that the og app has essentially bee#abandoned by the devs?? not to mention that while the plot is interesting. i haven't touched the main story ever since the coma arc#i will give credit to the devs for improving the event stories by choosing to focus on 1-2 demons. but it has always felt like a quantity >#quality situation. esp if i were to compare it to my other fandoms#it also doesn't help that i'm currently at a point of my life where i'm questioning if i could use my time on obm for better things#seeing how the game is giving me less reasons to believe it is worth my time#idk this may also be a short-term phase since i DID get back into twst after a long hiatus and i recently got into whb#which btw has felt like a breath of fresh air despite my frustrations with the bugs and current gacha#but yeahhhh........as much as i love the obm characters and fanfics. i'm just tired#at this point i feel like the only reason why i still play the game is due to the nostalgia and so i don't waste the years of grinding#aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh#this is what i get for being the type of player who only plays a few games so they can rlly dedicate their time and passion to it#that's all

What have the Dutch ever done to you
I went to a Christian school.
The community surrounding that school was primarily Dutch.
If it weren’t for the time I heard one of them say “if you’re not Dutch, you ain’t much”, and the others with them laughing in response? I would have been completely able to just view it as a “Christians being shitty people” thing.
But ever since then, I just saw xenophobia everywhere in that school.
I don’t know if it was there before and I just overlooked it. But I was a kid, so maybe they had just been avoiding doing that shit around children. I don’t know.
.
The father of my younger brothers is also Dutch.
He and his family are some of the worst people I’ve met.
But he himself? To say the least; he doesn’t provide for his kids.
He makes my life worse just by being alive. Hell, he makes my entire family’s lives worse by being alive!
.
I am unjustified, and I am disgusted that I have these thoughts of vitriol. I know logically I shouldn’t.
But I know why I began having these thoughts…
#this is an abridged version#bc I’m Not going to tell you my entire life story. since that’s how fucking entrenched these thoughts are.#just the most notable examples. as I would call them

also who's going to commit suicide? because you don't just drop a bomb like 105 and expect me to NOT think it's some kind of foreshadowing
#yes i'm still on about this no i will never shut up about it#like either we're learning how one of the core reapers dies and it's Very Plot Relevant#(which is unlikely considering we learn very little from the past save the twin's backstory)#[plus I don't foresee UT's death being particularly relevant to his storyline considering all the notable events#pertaining to him are alluded to have happened in the early 19th century]#OR Yana-san told us that because someone in the series is Going to Unalive themselves#I kinda want it to be lizzie not because I want her to die but because I think it would be INCREDIBLE from a#story telling perspective#and especially in yana's going in the direction of 'seb is eating ciel's soul' i think taking lizzie out of the question (the person#mostly tying him to life at the moment (even if he doesn't want to admit it)) will be a key factor in that sacrifice#also then grelle can adopt her because you can't convince me those two wouldn't be besties#... guys i might write a canon divergeance au after i finish moon ro se 👀👀👀#also like babe what's going ON with you rn we haven't seen you since your mental breakdwon in the carriage#shut up lilly#elizabeth midford#black butler#kuroshitsuji

Iron Man (1968) #47
#really intrigued like the writing here#the narration here describes Tony as ‘like a great insensate robot’#but is really only ‘a very vulnerable man inside an armored shell’#who wishes he was ‘indeed a thing of unfeeling metal’#which is interesting to pair with his origin story#it’s said that this story is ‘based in part’ on Tales of Suspense issue 39 which was Tony’s first ever appearance#because this issue completely retells that story in the context of Tony reminiscing on why he became Iron Man#that story notably portrayed the Iron Man armor not as something that Tony could simply take on and off#but that he was due to his heart injury completely reliant on being in it to live#and so would be forever trapped inside the armor#and the story ended on the ambiguous note of wondering what his life was going to be like from that point on#with the understanding that he couldn’t go back to his previous life of being the millionaire playboy inventor Tony Stark#but of course he did go back to that life because in the very next story it’s presented that he actually just needs to wear a chest plate#which he hides under his clothes and keeps secret as to not change his life as Tony Stark from how it was before at all#but that first story has Tony raise the question of is he still truly Tony Stark and is he still truly human#because the Iron Man armor is framed as replacing his body despite the fact that his original flesh one was still inside it#it's said that the armor 'must duplicate virtually every action of the human body'#and the chest part specifically is called 'the life-giving heart of your iron body'#at one point it's assumed that Tony is entirely a robot by an enemy and he doesn't correct them#he introduces himself as Iron Man not as a superhero alternate identity but as what he is now#and at the beginning of this story where Tony reflects on that experience#he's in a mental state where he wishes he was actually an unfeeling robot and not simply a regular feeling man inside a metal shell#marvel#tony stark#my posts#comic panels
