Trust me to be the lover of side characters played by Joey richter (I fucking love Malone tumblr isn’t ready for how often I think about that stupid guy)

Honourable mention to Ezekiel who I also love but I felt was too major in his appearance to be part of this group

Day 17: Theseus

---

There were going to be lyrics in this drawing, like the many others I've done. But decided to leave them out. Maybe another time I'll do that.

And I only drew the three songs instead of all six. Because these (especially the 5th one) are favorites.

But that's all.

Enjoy. :3

begging the fanders who are critiquing the janus makeup vid to think critically abt their complaints for a moment

(this is not to say that thomas is un-critique-able, just that the complaints ive been personally seeing are easily explained by general inferences made about the characters' personalities)

firstly: "janus doing the makeup makes it so that his scales arent canonical!" explanation: the beginning of the video, janus says he's in his "thomas disguise." he's doing his makeup in THOMASS BODY, to "LOOK LIKE HIMSELF." it can be assumed that when he snaps into his normal clothes, he's rid himself of the makeup and what we're seeing are his canonical scales.

next: "please take roman and janus's fight seriously! why isnt janus upset??? i want this to be more than a cat fight!" explanation: WHAT about janus makes you think he'd be vulnerable about a fight he had on camera while doing his makeup. please think about that for a moment. from what we know about both janus and roman, their entire dynamic is insensitive vs oversensitive. offensive vs easily offended. AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, doesn't care at all vs cares too much. that last dynamic is what i specifically think will be explored in the finale, but janus - from everything we know about him, and even in the makeup video - refuses to care about things. sure, it's a part of his sassy persona, but not caring about things is a defense mechanism, and one that janus very clearly relies on. mocking roman in a video and then refusing to address it (which would be weird of him to do anyway in a LIGHTHEARTED MAKEUP VIDEO) is very in-line with his personality. very genuinely - could you really look me in the eye and tell me it'd be MORE in character for janus to sort of tear up and look away and be uncomfortable with the idea of roman? absolutely not.

last: "janus was very out of character! he was laughing and stuff!" explanation: you mean in the grey sections? the sections that are very much meant to be interpreted as bloopers? bro

again: this isnt to say thomas is exempt from criticism, and there have been critiques of his videos that i have agreed with in the past. but these couple have especially been bothering me because of how clear their answers were not only in the characters' personalities, but within the video itself!

if anybody has any other criticisms, id be very open to hearing them! but these were my two cents

i personally really enjoyed the video. i thought it was very silly, which im pretty sure was it's intention, and i hope that more people got enjoyment out of it than what i've been seeing. very funny; i enjoy the shorter, more lighthearted videos just as much as i do the more lore-focused ones.

*WANDERSONG SPOILERS*

I wanna talk about Audrey, the so-called 'Hero.' Now I'm not that good at writing or posting meta but man oh MAN Audrey is actually so much more interesting than I initially took her to be; she's actually deeply insecure about not only herself but how the world perceives her AND has a skewed, dare I say, SUPERFICIAL, idea of what it means to truly be the hero. She primarily sees it as a role she has to play or fulfill, rather than something someone chooses to be, and while she "knows" herself to be the hero, she doesn't actually BELIEVE she is A hero in herself. Even further is that she WANTS to be The Hero but is so dyed in the proverbial wool in both her insecurities and her perception of her role as The Hero that she doesn't want to stop, she wants to fulfill the role she was given so bad that she broke her promise to the Bard when she said she wouldn't kill anymore Overseer spirits upon killing the King of Hearts because, how she sees it, 'that's how it is.' What was interesting is that Audrey spoke about her dislike of being told what to do and where to go when Eyala was acting as her guide, that she found it demeaning that she couldn't think or act for herself, but was that her interpretation of being told to back down by Eyala? After all, Eyala did mention to the Bard that when she warned Audrey, Audrey felt that Eyala was 'taking something away from her', and that something was the role of The Hero, without which she would still be a nobody that no one saw or knew or cared about.

She wants to be the Hero and is so attached to that role and the adoration it had brought her and wants to fulfill that role because she believes that what truly makes her and that without the title of Hero and the Sword and the powers, she can't be A hero. Her insecurities tell her that she can't be A hero outside of being THE Hero, and she can't understand not only how the Bard had gotten so far but how he continues to have hope, despite his own innate feelings of despondence and his own melancholy. But he keeps going because of his hope, hope that he can still save the world and that there is always another, better way, a way that one can choose. A different way to be a hero, if you will. And I personally think that the Bard's approach to being a hero, it's confounding to Audrey for many reasons, one of those being that he wasn't chosen by anyone or anything to be a hero per se, but he chose to be a hero HIMSELF, despite everything acting against him, including Audrey herself. The Bard admitted he's jealous of Audrey being chosen to be the hero and her sword and her powers, not knowing that his innate goodness and his CHOICE to be good make him a hero, without the need for a sword or a title or a higher calling.

I honestly love how Wandersong toys with the definition of the word 'hero', and not only subverts the typical fantasy RPG hero archetype with Audrey, right down to the outfit and the magic sword, but DOUBLE subverts her; she could have been a twist villain who was simply a villain masquerading as a hero, but even this was subverted by making her not a hero, but not quite a villain either, but an insecure girl who sees herself as a nobody and is so obsessed with fulfilling a role that makes her a somebody that she's going to end up destroying the world and herself (both figuratively and literally), but is blinded by her self-perception and insecurities so that she can't see anything within herself that's heroic, making her both a mirror and a foil for the Bard.

I'm not sure where I was going and I know Wandersong isn't the first game to do this but I love how it was done here so far (I'm starting Act Seven), not least because I hated Audrey at first but she's actually growing on me, as much as I hate to admit it, not least that she actually resonates with me much more now this revelation has come about. I was pleasantly surprised and now I want to study this girlfail mess of a human being under a microscope.

I want to make things right. Not just my mistakes, but my mother's. And I know that's a lot of ground to cover but I'm willing to do it.

Feeling a little sick so some Clerithtine headcanons

All three take turns with making food and each one has their likes. Aerith likes making soups and broths. Cloud likes making meals with meats and chicken. Vincent likes baking pastries.

The one to make the most simple and quickest meals though is Vincent. Cloud is most likely to order takeout and Aerith prefers more fresh stuff but doesn't mind the other options.

With sleeping, Cloud is the lightest. Vincent the heaviest and Aerith is in between.

Also Vincent is the BIG SPOON with Cloud as well and Aerith usually is the small spoon. That doesn't mean they don't take turns. (Vincent really likes being Aeriths little spoon....CloudAsWell-)

That's all for now

Me talking to a job coach who is also an autism specialist but can't diagnose me due to the setting.

Me: so I got a 37 on the AQ, a 199 on the RAADS-r, a 23 on the EQ, a 157 on the CAT-Q, a 67 on the SQ-r and a 55 on the RBQ-2a. And the aspie quiz you gave me said I am 100% likely to be neurodivergent.

Job coach: well, none of that is surprising to me. It's all above average

Me: that's a good thing right?

Job coach: it is if you're wanting to get diagnosed with Autism.

Me: ...huh-

Thinking about Duncan shipwrecked64 😭😭 I want to imagine he's on the island the whole time just out of sight, the guy has no fucking awareness of what's going on, I feel like if you show him a dweller he won't remember 10 minutes later, he's the 2ndmost bane of Bucky's existence, he hits on Walter immediately when seeing him, Bucky's hatred of him almost rivals his disdain for Rex. Bucky does not know who Walters new crush is, it is Of Course Duncan.

this is the exact scene from ACOL just before they board The Ghost, actually

[liviathonnn]

Rest in peace Oscar’s q3 appearance streak 😔 🙏

it was bound to happen eventually, just stings a bit more cause in interviews he had clearly expected a lot more of the session which makes sense after fp3

he’s always so clear about whether it was the car or something external, or his own mistake, and he put it on himself this time, which like respect but now im sad cause he’s sad 😔 (I have a very normal healthy relationship with this sport and this man specifically I promise) now I gotta go perform a ritual sacrifice to manifest an overtaking masterclass for him (and maybe colapinto too while I’m at it) in the race tomorrow

in other ramblings, love seeing Carlos drive like a man possessed, even reminding his race engineer that both his laps were good enough for pole lol

The race is gonna be so fun since both McLaren and Ferrari are supposed to have killer race pace here + max has been carrying that tractor on his back all weekend and still got 2nd. And the inevitable Piastri overtake masterclass ofc

Aaron and Aphmau should’ve stayed friends.

They understood each other on such a personal level, had a connection that was hard to mimic.

Aaron understood the troubles Aphmau faced. Being lord, being a Divine reincarnated, losing people she loved.

They could’ve found solace in each other in a non romantic way. Their personalities compliment each other, aphmaus first instinct is to help and be trusting, Aaron’s is to be wary and cautious.

They could’ve made each other better without falling in love

Hwaran's childhood flashback felt short and underexplained, so some stray thoughts about what that scene may have been trying to say, given what we know about her character so far:

Hwaran is the eldest daughter in an Asian family. As all fellow eldest daughters know, there is a night and day difference in how eldest daughters are treated versus sons, with the former being expected to mature faster and take on more responsibilities while the latter is coddled and put on a pedestal for simply being a son. Because sons inherit the business, sons carry on the family name, sons become the head of the household and produce more sons, glory hallelujah.

Hwaran has always known this. She knew from the beginning that she was at a cultural disadvantage but believed that hard work and ambition could put her above. I believe what we saw in the flashback was her breaking point. Because your parents accidentally not noticing you sulking silently in the corner ONE time is not a believable villain origin story. Rather, I think that Hwaran saw in that moment everything that she never had - a carefree childhood, open affection from her parents that didn't hinge on accomplishments. Being valued for just existing. And he did nothing to earn it except being their son. It should've been her.

I think Hwaran realized in that moment that no matter how many fancy achievement certificates she brought home, she could never be the golden child like her younger brother, and that set off a lifetime of resentment, self-sabotage, and misdirected anger towards Won (and even her own son!) The fact that she appears to be the only female character in the show without any female friends is also very telling.

And now in the present day, after a lifetime of grinding and doing everything "right", her hard-earned achievements are being stripped away in front of her eyes and her own family wants nothing to do with her. Not her husband, not her father, not her brother. She is alone.

Hwaran is the eldest daughter who feels abandoned by her family and society, and now she's gonna make it everyone's problem.
