idk i feel like so much discourse could be easily minimized if people learned to say "i think" instead of "it is"
#like “i think this is a bad game” is way less abrasive/aggressive than “this is a bad game”#do u know where im going w this like#it's literally 2 extra words and it could avoid like 99% of confrontation#ofc there would still be people who are like “omg how can u hate smth i like ur trash” but idk i feel like so much of this discourse u see#on twt especially#is like ? just people being deliberately aggressive abt stuff they dont like to antagonise others and then going “its just my opinion”#and it's hard to read tone online so it's often hard for me (and im sure for others ?? idk actually) to read whether or not sm1 is being#like. just sharing what they think vs them trying to bait out people who will defend smth they like#idk ive been trying to find ffxiv people to follow bc getting back into the game and finally being confident in my art to draw for it also#has me looking for ppl to follow but i wanna avoid the big livetweet first time experiencers and unfortunately that leaves#a lot of people who are afraid of dawntrail/unhappy with the current patch quests#of which i am neither and i also dont want to log on to the internet every day just to see ppl shitting on things u know ?#and i have seen a LOT of like#'x sucked' and 'fandom lacks critical reading skills' and whatnot#but then u see what theyre talking abt and all theyre doing is shitting on the game itself or going 'x expansion was mid'#like . if u stopped phrasing ur opinions as objective fact i feel like maybe ud avoid half those arguments id k???#just words#SORRY im talkative today the truth is i worked on a drawing veyr hard and i do not have the strength to colour it but it will not look good#without colour and i feel like i cant move on without it so i went and replayed shadowbringers instead and cried a lot#and now i have lots of icarus feelings again#WOW loiok at me writing an essay out here i overshare so much im sorry

Starting to realize that the thing I’ve long been sensing may possibly happen during my Saturn return… Is now far more likely an actual possibility that may unfold than I initially imagined, & not sure how to feel about that.

GREETINGS! How are you doing? I've been practically gobbling up your posts (there very tasty)
Ok so hear me out- I've seen a couple posts like this but imagine-
The almighty all powerful wise creator isss
✨️A literal child✨️
Thanks for hearing me out! For you ->->❤️
Baby you taking on the world aw
Tumblr media
DAMN SORRY FOR TAKING FOREVER!! i started fics before i answered my askbox :/
Aw i fucking love child reader stuff,
Lots of isekai animes/manhwa/manga do it and i eat that shit up everytime-
I also deeply appreciate when its not done creepily, like being turned 8 again, and having crushes on others who are... yknow, actually 8 yrs old or sm fucked up shit, like even if its 16 yr olds that doesnt make it any better, bc the protag will actually be like,, actually 20?!?!💀 the straights r wild man, i feel like it happens either way too, like its usually a male MC but thats just bc theyre more common tbh, like regardless of gender of protag 🥲
Sun: Child God Reader (you/they/them)
Orbit: Short Headcanons
Stars: Mondstadt ppl bc i don't show them i love them enough
Comets & Meteors: Content Warnings: none known & Trigger Warnings: none known.
Please comment any I missed. /gen
Klee has recruited converted you to throwing bombs with her.
You are the only leash on that child too and the only thing standing between Jean and full head of gray hair. 💀
Kaeya doesn’t know whether he’s endlessly worried or endlessly amused that the most powerful god is currently a child
if Jean isnt freaking out over ur whereabouts, Diluc is instead, and worst case scenario, Noelle/Lisa/Albedo is in charge of you
and YES someone has to look out for you, bc ur ass will just start making a hot springs spot like ur in ur teapot or smth in dragonspine (Albedo was fascinated it stayed warm despite the weather so he let you make it/enjoy it before asking u to restore natural order lol)
(Albedo has definitely asked to study you and, unfortunately for Jean, asked u to demonstrate several powers u have)
You do work as a lucky charm for Bennett tho so he does babysit u sometimes
it mostly consists of Fischl, Benny, and Razor “adventuring” by trying to do smth like who can jump on the Anemo slimes and ride them around longest
(the answer is you btw, u managed to get a small fleet of them to bus you around, the teens were simultaneously terrified running around below u to catch you and also amazed)
Noelle is so happy making toddler you all the pancakes you can eat, Sucrose had to stop her from going overboard and not just listening completely to kids when it comes to food
She is now very concerned with making you a balanced diet, tho she will still make u an ungodly tall stack of pancakes every now and then <3
They kind of all equally provide for you, obv ur their god, and ur a literal cutie patootie child, they cant just leave you
(also u might like move a mountain or change the weather or smth if they don't watch you so most are a little paranoid of that too)
Lisa gets u all kinds of cute outfits, still stuff you'd like, but definitely snuck in some sumeru looking clothing lol
Fischl lends you all kinds of books to read, Bennett shows u all the cool views in the city and outside of it (when Jean lets him get away with taking u that far), and Razor…
Razor brings you to Andrius and the wolf pack for a wolf pack party and gives u all kinds of shiny trinkets he’d collected for you
Diluc/Jean/Noelle/Eula nearly had a heart attack when they found out
Amber lets you have all the piggyback rides you want lol
she even managed with her own crafting powers (and your probably editing the game code or smth) she somehow makes a reinforced glider with a small harness on the back for you to glide with her
(Venti has definitely helped for some fun flights by boosting the winds for you two)
SPEAKING OF BARBATOS
ur absolutely spoiled rotten by him (and Dvalin, and Andrius, and the wind sprites)
if this god had money he’d spend it on wine and you lol
takes u flying all the time, any time, would drop everything to go to Mondstadt wilds and use his archon form wings to take you wherever you wanna go
tries to bring u to Angel’s Share but Diluc nearly hits him on the head with a wine bottle and brings you back home after kicking Venti out and giving you grape juice (yes you get all you want, within a healthy amount)
anyway the most important part abt you being a god and child is that you can now fulfill your childhood dreams of riding a dragon whenever you want
(one way to quickly get Mondstadt citizens to trust Dvalin again was just constantly seeing him flying overhead, occasionally seeing a small child on his back also helped lol)
(neither you nor Venti tell Jean you ride Dvalin and keep it an active secret from her.)
srry i took so long! i hope u liked my hot mess of writing (i think its even sloppier than usual bc of all the fic writing full sentences lately)
and if not, I'm sorrryyy 😭😭
I'm focusing on getting thru a haul of asks before getting around to posting that Eldritch AU Part 2 if anyone reads this :)
hope u guys are have a great weekend, thanks for all the birthday wishes!! :D
Safe Travels Anon,

work is slow after the holidys so ive spent my shifts coming up w a thee terror coffee shop au LMFAOOOOO these here are the uniforms!
general au information under the cut: (keep in mind this is 80% a joke)
takes place in northern Canada, modern day
bougie, expensive ass coffee. very tacky nautical theming. better than starbucks, but not worth 7.50 CAD for a medium black coffee
customer base is mostly pretentious white ppl that dont mind spending money on overpriced shit. many regulars formed personal relationships with Franklin when he first opened the cafe
FRANKLIN: store owner. created Terrebus Coffee after leaving the navy in 2008. DIES. turns out the cafe was in extreme debt and was barely making a profit the entire time it was open, and was in the red by the time he died. hid how bad everything was from the staff (crozier and fitzjames knew some stuff, but not everything)
CROZIER: 51. store manager who was (shockingly) promoted to store owner in Franklin's death. uncovers the true state of the cafe. been in coffee since the 90's. has worked at terrebus for 7 years. (sophy got him the job!) stressedddd. whiskey in his (3 sugar) black coffee. trans man who transitioned after leaving the navy in in 2001. lets his employees yell at rude customers.
FITZJAMES: 35. family friend of the Franklins. in marketing. token cafe transfem who's keeping the fckin shit locked DOWNNN (started transitioning 2 years earlier). was hired as a co-store manager without Crozier's knowledge, despite having limited experience actually managing a real cafe. you can image how he reacted.
HICKEY: barista. takes smoke breaks every 30 minutes. always has to do drains/floors. ends up getting loudly fired by Crozier in front of everyone and spends the rest of his time trying to bring the business down. totally sets up a rival coffee van in the parking lot that's just him and a keurig
SILNA: goes there bc she doesn't know anyone there, and she can get her work done. most the time she brings her own food and uses their hot water to brew her own tea bc shes not paying all that money. she ends up befriending goodsir and crozier who give her free stuff all the time.
TOZER AND GIBSON: Hickey's inner polycule feeding him insider information/executing his plans of sabotage
SOPHIA: Crozier's ex girlfriend that he's still whipped for. they dated on n off in the 2010's, before she broke up w him for good in 2018. they just went different places in their careers. as said before, got him the job w franklin as her last favor to him. currently working her 2nd PHD. moves back to deal with Franklin's death; Crozier tries to start things back up with her. he wants her to wait for him to leave, he'll do it this time, he swears-- "i don't wait for anyone, anymore, francis."
SHIFT LEADS: Little, Jirving, Hodge, Gore (quits early on), Dundy, Blanky (immediately promoted by Crozier), Jopson (promoted by Crozier, later)
BARISTAS: Hickey (eventually fired), Gibson, Collins, Tozer, Goodsir, Peglar, Hartnell, your favorite white boy i didn't mention but don't worry he's definitely here
REGULARS: Silna, Bridgens, Stanley (always orders an extra dry cappuccino and complains every single time that its not dry enough even though its already 90% foam and its a fucknig rush and he INSISTS on it being remade sorry maybe im projecting) other white boys you want there
ASSORTED PLOT DETAILS:
show "deaths" are now firings/quitting/injuries/ect.
before franklin died, he and crozier got in a huge fight, where crozier threatened to quit. (he did this often, but this time franklin sounded serious about holding him to that.) fitzjames, dundy, hickey, and jopson overheard.
fitzjames got the job after getting let go (gasp) from a cushy marketing job and needed something to fill space while she looked for a second job... how's that going, jamie?
the cafe grew a reputation as being hostile/unfriendly after franklin's death bc crozier was not afraid to yell at customers/kick people out for being rude. turned off amny previous regulars. this infuriates fitzjames "you're ruining our reputation!" "i don't care about the opinions of people who'd pay 7.50 for dishwater."
when crozier goes on leave for treatment, fitzjames becomes store manager
bottle episode where the closing crew get snowed in overnight. hickey is there and he has a knife
franklin never knew crozier was trans. he had known fitzjames for many years before she transitioned and in typical boomer fashion misgendered her frequently bc he's known her "so long". bc she didn't want to upset him she'd stopped correcting him. this bothered crozier a lot
peglar and bridgens have a 2015 tumblr barista/customer slowburn romance in the background as the cafe falls apart
tuunbaq is silna's giant white husky, ofc
goodsir discovers their coffee distributor is the cheapest on the market and has had several lawsuits about contamination problems and probably has lots of carcinogens. he brings this up w crozier who tells him if they were to switch distributors he would be forced to layoff staff, and since no one has complained he wasn't going to do anything abt it. lol.
this is the terror so this story is a tragedy. the store is not saved. hickey probably burns it down. crozier repatriates the money left to the local community n spends the rest of his life doing community service or something
ok thanks for reading this wall of text. im crazy. ask me questions pls

There is so much discussion rn Abt romances in Avowed n how in pillars the romances were bad and RPGs need romances yadda yadda and honestly it's kind of crazy...
Like saying that they are going to lose out on players is probably not true bc if you are a type of player who plays RPGs for the romances then I don't think you are or ever were the target audience for this kind of rpg or pillars of eternity to begin with. Like ik sorry if this sucks to hear but pillars was always a story more focused on an old-school type adventure where you find out the secrets of the world while also being a game that builds upon this rpg legacy and tries to improve on the general ideas while at it.
Tbh to me it's a bit strange ppl are either like UGH I won't play this trash bc no romances!!! Vs. UGH you can just make up headcanons Abt romancing npcs like ok I suppose you can do this but why not just let a story speak for itself once it releases and why not interact with the narrative and setting.... Like pillars has a crunchy and rich fantasy setting you can get lost in imo and the writing of previous games was very good and ambitious. These games do interesting stuff with the basic fantasy premises and tell relatively focused stories about a couple of intertwined themes.
I think it's telling of the current social climate around RPGs (on Tumblr) that romances are dominating the discussion this heavily. And before you I get accused if anything no it's not "bad" to like romances. Romantasy especially is an incredibly popular genre of fiction. And it's popular for a reason.
But like what's weird to me is how so many ppl just very loudly dismissing a game that looks good so far just bc of no romances. It's like do you critique other games like this too? Do you want like idk Balatro to have romances in it too?
Personally I'm glad there are no romances. And it's not bc i don't like rpg romances (I do love them) or bc i think the romance of deadfire were lackluster (they were fine and fit the vibe of the game). Im glad bc that means the ppl who made this thing probably focused on the things they actually wanted to make and hopefully were passionate about. Playing games where you can feel that passion and which are not just churned out to be popular for popularity's (and money's!!) sake to me always feel more impactful and charming like that's the "good stuff".
Ofc Avowed is super fucking expensive even shockingly so. I can only hope some of that money goes to obsidian and not all of it gets drained into the pockets of EA. I also hope that the same kind of passion n ambitious writing we can see in pillars 1 & deadfire will be still here, but I won't speculate (yet) since I haven't seen the game (since it's not out). I think tempering your expectations about a game is a smart thing to do IG lol.
To be fair the marketing of this game is a mess already. And the pillars games were never rly super popular to begin with so ik a lot of ppl are confused and might be getting the wrong idea. Also we are off of the back of bg3, which was a game strategically focused on romances and characters even when it made the overall narrative suffer. It was also very popular (and a good game!) so it gave a lot of ppl (esp ppl who did not particularly played a lot of RPGs or video games in general) the idea that THIS is the "blueprint" for an rpg. But the thing is it is not.
Honestly I just don't rly get the scorn for this game lol. Idk. Temper your expectations and if a game is not for you then you can just say that n move on. Ofc it's good to be critical (I'm a hater too I get it) but idk msging random ppl who are excited Abt avowed about how you think this game will suck ass is perhaps a bit too much.

I can’t find the ask talking abt Deity!Bill and the portal but if I remember it correctly, why he needs it built is a spoiler
In TBoB, Bill has tried to convince multiple people to build a portal, so was DB ever a muse to anyone else in the world?
Oh, and maybe, was he a muse to the King? I don’t know what else to call him since his name hasn’t been revealed yet
Unrelated question to DB but do you mind when people put asks not anonymously? Like is it a moots only thing for non-anonymous or do you not care? Sorry
Ever since the incident with the king, he never set foot on earth again until he was summoned by Mr Ford. So the whole cult thing never happened. There are a lot of things that happened in his past that are related to a problem he currently has that he's unable to fix even after hundreds of years and the solution to it is by building a portal in his earth's dimension. (I have a couple of animatics that will reveal them all bit by bit) I answered an ask before and told them what the problem was but then I realize it'd be a bit spoilery but I don't mind if ppl look for it. Yes, he was a muse to the king. You can call him that since his name hasn't been dropped yet. Also I dont mind anon asks since i know some might be a bit shy to ask some stuff

sorry this took so long i was trying to figure out what to say abt the au and procastinated ahh
essentially jason is an incredibly charistmatic son of jupiter and champion of juno, and the golden boy of new rome. nearpy everyone loves him, not just bc hes basically a prince but bc hes always trying his best to be kind to everyone. he was rescued by juno as a baby and given a home, and so he always strives to give everyone else a home through friends, even the least popular or outcast kids. he was definitely a lot naive, kinda spoiled and clueless, but he also has that golden retriever boy swag + was rlly good at camp politics and public speaking. he loved reading and arts and crafts and other ppl and his adoptive mom and dad (aurora and mitchell) and talking so so so much and generally is having a pretty good time
reyna is not having a good time actually. her lore is a bit more similar to the books. she still has a crazy dad, she still kinda kills him and runs away with hylla, she still goes to circes island, still gets kidnapped by pirates and still parts with her sister. all in one year. all of these massivle traumas lead her to a couple conclusions when she reaches CJ. 1. other people are useless at best and will actively harm/leave u at worst making you vulnerable. 2. when you are weak (physically speaking, as well as having a lesser status) you are vulnerable. 3. being vulnerable is the worst thing ever, as you can be hurt when you are vulnerable. people can leave you and hurt you and make you hurt yourself and so it was better to be totally alone at the top and not caring what you have to do to get there. she is also 11 when she chooses to do this so thats even sadder. unfortunately for her "have no friends and work yourself to death" plan is sort of disrupted by the popular blonde boy who rllyyy wants to be her friend. she really does not want to be his friend, and is convinced that he is somehow making fun of her. she is too busy working on having no socjal skills and being exhausted qll the time and forgetting to eat for days and being mean to everyone and building a reputation as an amazing fighter who you do not want to cross. she sometimes sees jason, and he is always super friendly, but mostly tries to ignore him
this sort of comes a head around 2 years later (both 13) when the current praetors are like "in a year we r stepping down :)". reynas great wish was up for grabs, there was finally a chance. there was only 1 problem. she had no friends and no actually allies, and also was a bad diplomat. to survive in the new rome politcal system you had to be a good fighter, and she was, but you also had to be a good public speaker. luckily jason, who was going to be praetor no matter what (actual nepo baby) was a good public speaker. and jason considers reyna a friend (she stil lactually didnt understand why, but she was going to use this to its full advantage)
fast forward bc this is long, they both become praetors and reyna is giving all the orders and handling all the military stuff and jason is just the prettyboy who does al ltje talking and they were aromatically in best friend love amen.
omg this was so good!! I love how you gave jason reliable parents he deserves it a different timeline atleast LOL. reyna skipping meals is just :( she probably looked super malnourished and that would've been even more difficult bc to be strong you need actual nutrients.
jason being the pretty nepo kid convincing everyone w his talking is SO skejehej I love it. this honestly super sad bc reyna didn't have any extra connections in cj and had to work it all through, and even though it isn't jason's fault he's super connected and people listen to him without doubt.
could you expand more on how you think reyna became praetor? what role does octavian play in this? (if he's in the au) there wouldve been so many debates till reyna FINALLY joined!! also, to make it more ✨tragic✨ hylla and reyna could have some misunderstandings maybe? like the trauma pulling them apart is such a good storyline.

Brace yourselves, because it seems our latest lovebirds, Charles and Manon, are caught in the whirlwind of relationship drama. Whispers in the paddock hint at Charles' reluctance to fully embrace their romance, leaving us all scratching our heads and dishing out theories (spill yours below 🔎). Could it be that the old flames of a relationship with Y/n refuse to flicker out, casting a shadow over his current flame? The plot thickens!
And just when we thought it couldn't get any juicier, winter training camp rolls around, serving as the catalyst for an explosive confrontation. Picture this: Manon, left high and dry as Charles jets off to the Dolomites for winter training. Ouch! Needless to say, feathers were ruffled, and tensions soared to unprecedented heights. Will this star-crossed duo weather the storm, or are we witnessing the beginning of the end? Stay tuned for more!

Hi hi! Could I ask for adam x seraphim!female!reader, where after adam died he ended up in hell (like a reverse pentious) and its sort of angsty in the beginning because reader has taken over from adam and her and lute were close before and it's like sad bcs it's the first extermination after Adams death, and when they go down, lute is really protective of reader because girl can't go through that shit again and then they are walking down a street and reader gets tackled into a hug and lute almost kills the person BUT turns out its adam?
(Little more context I guess? Adam and reader where dating before, and reader and lute were already close but became closer. This isn't readers normal job (lutes in charge of training everyone still), and she is basically the same as sera and Emily in the fact she does courts and stuff but she chose to help with exterminations on the day off because she wants to help heal her sadness by taking it out on ppl?)
SORRY IF ITS TOO LONG XX
𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋 ❦
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝐑𝐀𝐇𝐇𝐇𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐁𝐄 𝐒𝐎 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐘𝐀𝐇𝐇𝐇𝐇𝐇𝐇𝐇-
𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐏𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 24 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏-
𝐄𝐍𝐉𝐎𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐑𝐎𝐓
I LOVE YOU LILY OMG YOU HAVE SUCH A BIG BRAIN OMGOMGOMG-
BUT SERIOUSLY I LOVE THIS IDEA AND I'M ACTUALLY RLLY HIGH WHILE WRITING THIS SO HEHEHE
'۪۫❁ཻུ۪۪┊﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋┊ཻུ۪۫❁۪۪'
With all the court date business with being a Seraphim and all of the stress of the exterminations is now being put on your shoulders you had the duties like the other Seraphims, there were three of you. Yourself, Emily, and Sera the three of you managed to get by but it was a lot of work you couldn't imagine how much work the archangels had to do.
And what made matters worse you were still grieving about your dead boyfriend who had died last year to the exterminations to none other than Charlie Morningstar and Lucifer Morningstar themselves and he was finished off by a lowing janitor demon who is no bigger than a child at the most.
You and Lute had been given unwanted promotions which led to more stress and work under your shoulders and on your wings.
As the next extermination was already a few days away you had to prepare you had planned to go down and kill some demons since you felt the urge to and you had been given the green light by the other Seraphims to do so you had to take out your unacquitted rage somehow.
Since it was only currently bubbling up inside of you and you knew that wasn't healthy nor was it safe since eventually you were going to bubble over and snap at somebody you don't mean to and only God knows what kind of trouble that could get you into.
As you were counting down the days till the next extermination you had been talking with your best friend Lute who you'd grown closer to since Adam's death she had taught you how to defend yourself in case something happened to you and she couldn't be by your side to protect you which probably wasn't going to happen since she had gotten very protected and very protective of you.
"One more day... One more day marks the day I lost you..."
You spoke as you looked at the picture of the two of you the first time you and Adam had hung out in a picture frame by your bed as you felt the hot stinging tears roll down your cheeks you couldn't help but choke back a sob you missed him more than anything he was the man you were supposed to spend the rest of your afterlife with.
But those plans have been rudely interrupted by none other than the king and princess of Hell you promised yourself one day you get your revenge but you knew in this current state you are nowhere near strong enough to take on Lucifer on your own.
Even as a Seraphim who could possess high power stood no match to Lucifer who was a fallen archangel only another archangel or God Almighty themself could take him down.
You were snapped out of your trance by the sound of knocking what you're doing as you snapped your head towards the door you responded letting the other person know they could come in as the figure of your friend Lute made her way back into your room as she noticed your tears as she rushed towards you bringing her self close to you pulling you into a hug quickly.
"I miss him too Y/n..."
ONE DAY LATER
It was extermination day finally as you and the rest of the exterminators along with your friend Lute flew towards the portal to Hell as you arrived at the dark dingy and ominous landscape of Hell that smelled like rot and decay, you coughed as the air was harsh and bitter to the taste as your nose scrunched up.
"It reeks here..."
"Yeah you never get used to the smell"
As you flew around the streets of Hell looking toward for any demon that you could stick your weapon into your weapon was different than the other angels you had your own weapon as a Seraphim much like an archangel that got their own weapons although there's were more customized while you only had a two-sided spear one side was sharp and smooth and the other was rigid and curved nonetheless both ends were very sharp.
Suddenly something caught your eye as you stopped and hovered as your wings folded against your back as your feet touch the pavement as you looked into a dark alleyway seeing a pair of golden eyes staring right back at you, as you tilted your head in confusion on why they weren't running instead they were running towards you.
Suddenly the demon embraced you. You were confused for a moment until he looked up at you and you immediately recognized who it was.
"A-Adam?"
"You remember me?"
"Of cou-"
"Y/N!"
You heard Lutes panicked voice behind you as you spun around trying to diffuse her anger as you shielded Adam from Lute making her stop in her tracks as she looked confused at you before you stepped away showing the demon as she dropped her own spear embracing him tightly as the three of you embraced each other.
The trio is back together.

Hellooo I'm here to request a romantic and platonic matchup for me and I bring an offering:
Tumblr media
From my gallery to you<3
Uhh about me (sorry if it's too long or not coherent I tried to make it as short as possible)
I'm an 18 year old girl that's begrudgingly straight (I checked 😞) My MBTI is intp (5w6) and it hasn't changed since I first took the test like 6 years ago, my siblings do describe me as a cat which is to say I come and go as I please get super clingy randomly and then get ppl aversed suddenly (my social battery just runs out I swear I'm not tryna be a love bomber or manipulative like that) I also like to banter or info dump massive amounts of my ideas randomly after a week of silence and then get embarrassed and follow it with another week of being quiet, if I like someone I'll just stare at them constantly trying to mentally dissect them and forget to avoid eye contact and I have resting blank face so if I have a crush on you what you get is this most of the time
Tumblr media
I also like to be chivalrous to my friends specifically, I think I act more smooth and flirty with friends than I could with a bf. When we go out I walk on the road side, open doors for them, pull out chairs, carry bags and help the girls with heels down stairs or slopes. I don't like deciding what we do or eat since I'm not picky about most things at all and I don't want someone else to have a bad time or get bored. But if no one decides I'll pick something completely random just to get the ball rolling. I can get pretty aggressive with closer friends and I really like to have debates or pretend fights and crash outs just for fun.
Likes: video games, theology, politics (I'm not aggressive about it I just like to study all the stuff that's happening) etymology, anime, food a lot of food, true crime
Dislikes: anything unsanitary/unhygienic, house pests, jump scares, horror movies are ok but jump scares are the worst 😭 Dishonest people
Hobbies: going on walks at night, reading, building computers, puzzles, playing chess, researching random topics or digging into celebrity scandals, procrastinating.
Love language: PHYSICAL TOUCH NO.1
I prefer giving acts of service and receiving words of affirmation... I promise it's not in a weird way-
(actually the best love language is finding huper specific memes for your current situation and making your friends laugh)
I look for people who are generally patient and Straight to the point, not really a fan of messing around or getting in misunderstandings, just wanna be chill with people and have them be chill with me, I don't have standards higher then "like me and let me know if there's a problem" if they have the same interests as me then that's a good bonus
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thank you for your letter and offering! ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
Your romantic matchup is...
Leviathan!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
❥ So I will admit, Levi was not my first pick for a romantic matchup for you, it was actually the person who I ended up picking for your platonic matchup. However, I felt that your platonic matchup was better off as friends with you than a significant other due to the fact that they probably wouldn’t give you the physical touch that you want. So, I thought long and hard about who would be an even better fit for you romantically, and after rereading your description multiple times and playing out the dynamic in my head, I came up with Levi! 
❥ Now the main obstacle with Levi is the fact that you have a tendency to come and go, like a cat. We all know that Levi holds himself to a very low regard and I think that at first, he’d make the assumption that you hate him just because you’re never consistent with him. He would be puzzled at the fact that you’ll get all buddy-buddy with him and then leave him the next moment. His insecurities would get the best of him and he’d be convinced that you just don’t like him. He’d simply jump to the conclusion that you just see him as some gross and yucky otaku who’s an abomination to society and therefore he will never have a true friend. Because he’s under the assumption that you hate him, he’ll actively avoid you unless he’s forced to attend a social event or pressured to go to school. However, another thing about Levi is that he’s very vocal about his insecurities so I definitely think that once he’s forced out of his room and put in a situation where he has to interact with you, he’ll cut his avoidant act and just pour out all of his thoughts. He’ll tell you that he knows he’s a gross otaku and that someone as cool as you would never want to be his friend and that’s okay with him, which will leave you confused but you’ll explain to him that that’s just how you are. 
❥ When he finally understands that it’s just your social battery running out, he’ll relax and will want to spend more time with you! He’ll be a bit shy and subtle about it though. I do think that he’d be a bit nervous to approach you at first. I think he’d overthink things and ask himself: Is this really okay? Am I being too much for them? Am I approaching them at the wrong time? So I do think he’d be more subtle about it. Instead of outright approaching you (at least at first) he’d simply go to school in person just so he can see you more or he’ll purposely sit next to you at the dining table or during family movie nights just so he can see you more. I do think that you’d have to approach him but I also think that it won’t take long for him to become more comfortable around you if you send him memes or talk about an anime that you’re interested in. 
❥ When he finds out you like anime? He’ll be elated and will practically drag you to his room every time he orders new merch from Akuzon or is starting a new series! He’ll love to yap about anime or video games with you and whenever you info dump, he’ll add on or add his own commentary! If it’s a topic he’s unfamiliar with, he might not be able to add much insightful commentary but he’ll still listen and be curious. I do think that he’d be the type to admire that look on your face when you get all passionate about a topic! He’d find it adorable (and it will probably make him feel like he’s reliving a scene from one of his romance animes with a ridiculously long name). 
❥ When he starts to develop a crush on you, he’ll get all shy around you so you’ll probably have to confess to him. But when you get all chivalrous on him, he’ll get all flustered. He’ll turn beet red and try to deny the blush on his face but his body language gives away how he truly feels. 
❥ When you stare at him with that blank look whilst maintaining eye contact, he’ll get all worried. Is something on his face? Does he look stupid? But then he’ll get all flustered because of how cute you look. 
❥ I do think that he’d find it so cool that you can build computers! He’ll ask you questions about manufacturing computers and he’ll want to watch the process. He knows how to program and create games (he did create a whole game in that one event to propose to MC) but he knows little to nothing about actually creating the very devices that you play them on. And I do think that he’d be quite insecure as a boyfriend (in the beginning) but this insecurity would fuel him to improve himself and become the best boyfriend he can be. This means learning more about the things that you’re interested in and picking up your hobbies (playing chess, reading books and not just manga, and puzzles) just to bring the two of you closer. 
❥ And on that note, he knows that a good boyfriend communicates with their partner. He’d be a bit shy with his feelings in the beginning but as I said before, he’s vocal about how he feels about himself. Whenever he’s upset, it will likely stem from insecurity or jealousy and like I mentioned, he’s vocal about these two things. That combined with the fact that he will consciously make an effort to better himself so he can be a better boyfriend for you leads me to believe that he’d get better with communicating over time. In shorter terms, communication shouldn’t be an issue with him. 
❥ I do think that physical touch is one of his love languages too! He might be shy with it in the beginning so I do think you might have to initiate it or tease him but once the ball gets rolling, he’ll be more cuddly! He’ll love to have you on his lap while he plays on his PC, rest his hand on your thigh, caress your hand with his thumb when he holds it, and even give you regular cuddles!
❥ He does think the best love language is sending memes to your significant other as well, so you can expect to receive loads of reels and memes from him (this man is chronically online so you will probably receive 50 in the span of an hour). 
❥ He might be a bit shy with words of affirmation because that means outright telling you his feelings and he gets nervous about that, but he wants to be a good boyfriend so he’ll do his best to reassure you that he loves you! When you two win a game together or whenever you accomplish something, he’ll tell you how proud of you he is!
Your platonic matchup is...
Satan!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
❥ I was actually thinking of giving you Satan as your romantic matchup at first. You guys share interests so you two hand things to bond over. Not to mention the fact that I think he’d really enjoy debates with you. He likes to gain knowledge and new perspectives on things, so your debates would be very informative and mentally stimulating for him. He loves to learn afterall. 
❥ I also think that he wouldn’t be bothered by your tendency to come and go. He’s not clingy at all and the fact the comparison to the cat would be adorable to him (I’m pretty sure one of his lines in the game is something along the lines of “You’re always coming and going like a kitten”). He’s pretty introverted so he values his alone time and wouldn’t be able to handle a partner who is too clingy, so it’s perfect for him since he’ll get his alone time so he can recharge and then he’ll be able to spend time with you. 
❥ However, as for why I didn’t give you Satan for your romantic matchup, I felt that he didn’t quite fit what you look for in a relationship. You made it very clear that physical touch is super important to you and while Satan is into more casual things like hand holding, I feel like it might not be enough for you. I feel like too much physical touch would be overwhelming for him and he might not initiate it that much, which would leave you feeling unfulfilled. I definitely think that there are better options in the om cast who will be able to give you the physical touch that you look for. 
❥ Nonetheless, I could definitely still see the two of you getting along! You both share many interests, such as reading, true crime, researching topics, going on walks, etc. I could see the two of you studying together in the library before exams, you would be each other's study buddies! I could also see you and Satan discussing the topics you research. He may not be into celebrity drama, but he’s still impressed by how much you know! He finds it impressive how far you dig into these topics and he’s also very knowledgeable as well so you can ask him random questions and he’ll be able to answer them. He’d be curious about true crime cases and politics in the human world, so maybe you could tell him some stuff? 
❥ I could also see Satan going on walks with you at night! Walks are a great way to clear his mind whenever he’s particularly stressed or upset, and what better way to spend time with you than walks at night? He’ll probably ask you more personal questions to know you more in depth when you guys go on walks together. 
❥ And honestly, whenever you get all chivalrous on him (insisting that you walk on the side closer to the road), he’ll probably get all flustered but he’ll refuse because he has to keep you safe! He can’t let anything happen to you!
❥ When you info dump on him, he’ll find it super interesting as much as it is enlightening. But he’ll remember everything you tell him!

Hey 😥
A questioning system, a year into it.
I wanted to ask stuff, since I'm too scared to ask people who I'm close to or who have any semblance of a perception of me. I havent seen everything posted so idk if things are covered or not already.
1) How do I know for certain that it's DID/OSDD and not a mix of ADHD and CPTSD? I always deny it, I never let anyone have the idea I'm parts instead of a whole single unit, but I constantly live in secret like I am parts, that they're distinct and different, even if it feels like the actual distinction isn't really clear :( I know I dissociate. I know I have trauma. I know I have amnesia, atleast some—idk if switch amnesia because there's maybe only a couple instances I remember that were like that? Minimal if any.
But then it's the self states thing, the markedly different identities. Which leads to
2) How can I even recognize if I'm made up of alters, how would I know? I feel like at best, alters that have interests or connections come out, and then they're just. Gone. And they take the interests with them. And they never come out. I feel like I've been operating like a lifeless mannequin this entire time because of it. We don't really use "host" as a role but I imagine sometimes this is what it's like. I feel like I don't really have interests, and we collectively identify as aroace and agender. Because we LACK those identifiers. Even though we also know sometimes we have and feel them? But. Idk. How do I know I'm not just taking CPTSD 'parts', IFS stuff (which I dont rlly look at), and exaggerating them into alters for a more serious disorder? Rarely if ever there's any sense of communication, we don't get the whole voices in my head/thoughts that aren't mine feeling most of the time. I don't even know if this is because I'm functioning as someone dissociated from myself perpetually or not, and idk how I would ever be able to tell if I'm a singlet or a system when my daily could actually just be that I'm not connected to any sense of self or identity 24/7.
3) this is more from attempts to define what makes an alter, related to the cptsd parts thing.
...
Idk how to phrase it. I guess it's that. We define alters mostly by the emotions they usually feel? We've always thought of ourself as, by default, feeling joy or nothing/neutral. That we can't feel anger or sadness, even though obviously we do and have. Can alters just be like dissociated emotional states? Atleast one of them seems to have an identity, and they're the equivalent of anger. Is it unreasonable to believe that alters can be identified like this? Does it need to be more complex? Is it weird or wrong to think of myself and my identity in terms of what I *can* feel, what I'm currently feeling?
I don't know. Sorry if these are weird or bad questions or things you can't reasonably answer. We'd get a therapist or talk to a professional if we could.
I just feel like I'm lying to people around me, people who know me. That when I say I have alters, that it should be more... obvious, than this, despite what the disorder is inherently. I can't ask questions because then I seem like an idiot, mis- or uninformed. (I know I need to get through my problems with ppls expectations of me but it really feels like I'll be abandoned or lose their trust if I'm honest and open about it all.)(In another scenario, if I felt differently, I probably wouldn't be crying as much as I am right now /lh)
It just has felt like this disorder explains a lot about who I am sometimes, that it resonates for a reason. And I accepted it with a theory that put all my stress and worry at ease. But now I'm in a liminal state of denying it around people who I have a relationship with, who will see more of myself, while accepting it for the most part in front of strangers, people who don't really know me and so won't tell me I'm lying/faking it. (It really feels like if anyone close enough to me knew I was questioning DID like this, they'd tell me that there's no way, that I'm not made up of alters, that I'm just one person. Because they're close enough to see what I'm like, even if it's not fully in depth. *Especially* if they don't see every side! And I would end up taking their word for it, because that's how they see me, so it must be true.)
Sorry for long post even though ik there's been plenty of long asks (and responses) before. I think what I said was a lot, maybe too much 😓 -🤎
I just want to say that the more you ask or want to learn, the more you are equipped and knowledgeable so there's nothing bad about that! I'd happily answer your questions in long details, and i also secretly like seeing people yap in asks (isn't it obvious.. since im also a talker,, but also,, more details, the better)
--
Good point, they do have many overlapping symptoms but they also have their own hallmarks which helps in differentiating,, CDD's are known for more severe amnesia related issues and inconsistent identity, while ADHD is known more for struggles with focus/motivation and have a difficult time being consistent with routine, and CPTSD have more issues around negative associations/triggers that could cause anxiety/panic attacks whilst dealing with paranoia and general distrust. The thing is, rarely people ever only have one diagnosis without the other, so don't make this a priority to deduce whichever you have, but to understand how this creates a more complex manifestation of your current troubles.
You can see through the inconsistencies throughout the days, like jumping to different hobbies (can be mistaken as adhd/autism hyperfixation, so the difference of this fixation is you feel the hype and passion for long and you drop it off once it didn't feel as great again, while CDD's is more on inconsistencies than dropping it all completely). Or you might like vegetables then say its the most horrible thing to ever exist, a total change of fashion style or accent or mannerism is also something. More outward expression means higher chances of having alters,, and this is different from IFS or CPTSD, since ifs (iirc) is assigning/labeling different states of yourself so you can further understand where feelings and reactions cme from, while cptsd is more to non-integrated emotional/physical states after the trauma and it disrupts daily functioning due to the heightened awareness for detecting danger. Also having a CDD doesn't require you to have "voices" inside head, thats just another form of language.
Yes they can be emotional states but often more complex than, or grow out of more than just "feeling" and base it around their newly growing identity . If it stays as emotional states and don't experience distinct shifts in your personality or overall identity, it then can be explained as BPD or CPTSD than CDD.
Also i wanna add as a final fused system (makes me a singlet ig..), "one person/thing/identity" really limits and ignore the fact that we are multifaceted in nature--its how we can understand social cues in different groups and blend in, just that for systems have yet to fully integrate these facets and control them on your own will. So instead its a disorder of self imbalance, in a way.
I hope this answers everything!

this ask is soooo self-indulgent BUT do u ever plan on making wolf-related shit again? on one end i understand why u'd wanna never touch it publicly EVER again what w/ ur quasi-prophetic status held by doomed yaoi types or whatever... but on another end i'm so curious on how the wolf kids would look in ur newer style + how u'd go abt certain aspects of the story nowadays as an actual adult. like i just think u'd blow it out of the park
HIII!!! i DO wanna make wolf content again and im not opposed to making it anymore as much as i did a few months ago when i took a little hiatus, but i got in some hot water recently on twitter over me making a boundary with the designs i had and it got misinterpreted as Me being an asshole and calling out people who don’t like my shit even tho that… wasn’t… the point….anyway.. there are some slight design tweaks i wanna make, mostly on salem but like nothing crazy. i don’t think ive ever actually Drawn drawn her in my actual art style and not my simplified animation one. FUNNY ENOUGH rusty is the one song that’s always stumped me cuz i’ve always wanted to animate it but i could Never Get It Right. and the one time i Did have an animatic for it the file got corrupted and i just gave up LMAO. sorry if my answer is a little all over the place i legit just had this convo w my partner the other day. i wish i could make animating and creating tyler art was a priority again but as i get back into my uni art groove along with getting comments from ppl who don’t know anything about how animation works asking me to animate This song or This one and Why have i been gone so long it really just mentally drains me Along with me already having some really bad mental health problems and for the longest i didn’t feel happy making content or interacting in tyler spaces. i still don’t really feel fully comfortable in those spaces as it always feels like im the elephant in the room. which really sucks because when i was younger i ALWAYS wanted the wolf trilogy to have some sort of fandom i could interact with and like, be friendly with. but as ive gotten older and some shit has happened to me i don’t feel as comfortable putting myself out there. a lot of the art i’ve been making currently is almost like me making up for lost time because of me being absent for so long / busy making art for college. sorry about the tangent. anyway, i’ve always interpreted wolf Very seriously and i think even now i understand it more than i did before and i can actually like. Draw the characters how i wanted them to look vs when i first drew them when i was like 14/15, and i have the time currently until august to kinda do fuck-all until i leave again for uni. making wolf content in the past was always very self indulgent and i didn’t really think people could interpret my animations the wrong way because i would assume they at least Listened to the album and had an idea of the characters. and again i was like i think 16-17 when i made a huge chunk of the wolf ones specifically. i do plan on animating them again, i think i just need to plan a bit more than i do for my other stuff just because i care about it so much. rusty and 48 have always been songs that i wanted to animate but i literally did not have the skills to even touch those songs, but those i reaaaaally really wanna do. i did draw sam the other day as a warmup, he is kind of my go-to character to draw at all times. right now im working on something cherry bomb related so probably after that i’ll focus on wolf again (not cuz of ur ask but because i do miss making content). again im so sorry if this answer is kinda everywhere, i have garbage of the mouth … :>

do u have any advice for those that want to run a quest?
it feels a LEETLE silly answering this when all my own are currently on hiatus bc i got busy (SORRY TO CALLIST0 READERS LOL) BUT!!! yes i do. i have only ever run quests/interactive comics on the site questden, so i guess as a baseline this will kind of all be geared towards that, but i think most of this should translate to any hosting situation
you have to be cool with your plots branching and mutating in unexpected ways, and you have to be willing to play ball with your readers. quests are a collaboration between the author and the audience. it often feels a lot like gming a tabletop campaign (and that's the origin!! questden, specifically, was originally an offshoot of /tg/.) -- we've all had or heard about bad GMs who view their position as that of a narrative dictator who exists to punish and prod a captive group of players thru their own personal novel, but a good GM is interested in telling stories as a group. u have final say and have to stay true to the important stuff abt ur story, but if u get mad or frustrated when ur readers want to explore something "off topic" or aren't following the threads of ur narrative the way u expected them to, u don't actually want to run a quest, u just want to make a webcomic w mandatory comments. (the flip side of this is: consider if the story u want to make is the right one for an interactive quest. if it is REALLY important to u that the plot beats of a story go a certain way, maybe save it for a medium where u have more control!)
keep it loose and fast. the art does not matter. i am rly guilty of not following this one, but i still think it's really important! one of the things i like best about quests is the barrier to entry is very low and you SHOULD be able to start and maintain one very quickly. if i were better at keeping my art scrabbly and sketchy and loose, my stuff would not go on hiatus as often as it does. draw fast! it's NICE if the art is gorgeous to look at and definitely will draw readers, but it's way better if the art is simple enough that you can update frequently and without much stress. the quality of ur writing + character building, and whether u are telling a story that's engaging and that ur readers feel meaningfully involved in, is 100000x more important than the art.
on the more nitty gritty side: try to have a hook in each update. one of the most common reasons suggestions die off is readers being unsure of what they're supposed to do next. sure, too much spoonfeeding could end up feeling like railroading, and you don't have to end every single update by getting right in their faces and yelling "WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT??", but when you finish an update try to take a second to put yourself in a reader's shoes and see if there's an obvious next step. is there a course of action to decide on/debate, are there clear questions they can ask an npc, etc -- i can't think of a great way to describe it, but you want to avoid ending an update on a note where the player character and readers are basically sitting there looking at each other like "um... okay. that's that, then." some ppl even just end all their updates w multiple choice options, which is a super simple way to keep things moving if it fits the style of what ur doing. if you don't want it to be that overt but you still can't think of a way for there to be a clear hook, you can at least try to leave a little nudge in the narration that invites the readers to try to tie whatever they've just done/learned back into the pc's main goals/motivations or current tasks. (on this subject, VERY useful for your main character to have a very specific goal or end destination that everyone is on the same page abt. it's harder for your plot to lose momentum if you can always point at what your readers are supposed to be moving toward!)
finally: KEEP UPDATING EVEN IF YOU GET VERY FEW/NO SUGGESTIONS. it's a niche genre. questden is a small website. it's hard to get people to read something new, especially if it's in a new and unfamiliar format (and especially especially when it's on a website that looks like a chanboard lmao). picking up readers takes a long time, and a lot of people lurk without suggesting (ESPECIALLY if it's a difficult/plot-important decision, and also especially in the opposite, if it's a very obvious next step and someone else has already commented what most ppl would say). it's very tempting to want to wait for more suggestions bc u "only" have one or two, and then that wait becomes stagnation, and then you're frustrated and u end up dropping the quest bc "nobody cares." instead u just have to push thru!!!! u only have two suggestions and u wish u had more? maybe next update u'll get more. u have NO suggestions and u feel like that means ur quest is dead in the water? NOPE! the solution is to update again, bc maybe ppl with latch on more and have something to say in the next scene. the more u update ur quest, the more u'll be able to talk abt it (and maybe get more readers), and specifically in the case of questden the more ur thread will be bumped to the front page. think abt how many times you've seen ppl talking abt a webcomic or a book and thought "i need to check that out eventually...." but it takes months for you to actually do it. 99.9999% of the time, ppl need to see something MULTIPLE TIMES before they check it out!! most readers do not come from clicking something the very first time they see it!! i know it can feel lonely and discouraging, but u owe it to ur art and the stories u want to tell to keep trying, even if engagement is very low at first, otherwise you're killing it before it's even had a chance. like, get shameless about it. ask your buddies to comment on your quest. but give that horse a few really good whacks before you decide it's dead!! i think that's my main thoughts. if you have any more specific questions i'm happy to help if i can! but also i think you'll learn the most by just jumping in and fucking around. quests are easy to pick up and easy to drop, and imo do really well as a playground where u test different ways to draw and tell stories, so might as well just get messy.
