Anton and Ghastly, as requested by @train-whistles-at-night for my Hug Asks :D They really said 🫂

[seriousbrat]

Both James and Snape were assholes and her being one of their closest people indicates she wasn't great or kind. She probably was pretty shallow with her morals. When I said she was classist I was pointing at her SWM moment where she threw a classist insult. When I said she was immature I was pointing at her having a baby in the middle of war and two years into a relationship. When I mentioned she was judgemental I meant her jumping to conclusions during her Snape interactions. Like when she said he should be grateful that James saved him - she said that just because she heard her friends saying it without caring about the other side. And when I said she was a social climber I pointed at her marrying a rich pureblood - the guy who bullied her ex best friend. It is obvious she saw the benefits of marrying a rich guy who could protect her as a muggleborn, despite knowing how awful he is. But like I said she justified it by thinking "atleast he doesn't use the dark arts". Hope you understand my perspective now.

Both James and Snape were assholes and her being one of their closest people indicates she wasn't great or kind.

do you think so? you don't think it's possible for people who are kind to have friends who aren't or haven't always been great people? 'She was probably pretty shallow with her morals' lmao where? why probably? She criticised and eventually dumped Snape because he was doing things that went against her morals, as she should, and she started dating James when he 'deflated his head' and dedicated himself to fighting for a cause that she believed in. I think she was understanding, understanding of the fact that people have the potential to be good, rather than shallow. But you've obviously jumped to the worst conclusions about Lily, for your own reasons I'm sure.

When I said she was classist I was pointing at her SWM moment where she threw a classist insult.

what classist insult? about snape washing his pants u mean? hahahhaa. honestly fair like he should be washing his pants and honestly after he called her a slur which is much much worse than this idk, like I can't bring myself to feel that bad about this haha. Idc go off Lily. She's much worse and more insulting to James anyway.

Look, I understand your perspective, I just think it's really, really unfair. And you're projecting a LOT of your own conclusions onto Lily, again unfairly. Where is it stated or even remotely implied in canon that "it is obvious she saw the benefits of marrying a rich guy who could protect her as a muggleborn, despite knowing how awful he is." lmfao. This is such a reach. It's so incredibly misogynistic to assume, based on nothing but your own weird beliefs, that she married James because she was a gold digger lmaoo.

If she hated his guts and married him out of some weird obligation why was she described as 'alight with happiness' at her wedding to him instead of looking scared and worried or regretful or conflicted or whatever. Everything we're shown about Lily and James as a couple points to them being in love with each other. There's 0 evidence for Lily being a gold digger. Girl stop it lmao

The only thing here I can see a bit (and only a bit) of truth to is that I do think Lily has a bit of a righteous streak, and possibly can be a bit judgmental at times. However, I think it's completely fair for her to judge Snape for the actions she brings up in Prince's Tale because they're worthy of judgment. I judge him for them too. Like it's just not that bad and nowhere as near as terrible as you're making it out to be.

immature I was pointing at her having a baby in the middle of war and two years into a relationship.

honestly I'm not going to fully get into this, like let's leave aside the fact that a 20 year old is pretty obviously going to be immature, but to be perfectly honest, based on the fact that you clearly see Lily as a shallow morally bankrupt gold digger I don't feel unjustified in suspecting that this, too, is rooted in misogyny and lack of empathy for women.

tl;dr no I still absolutely disagree with you.

*stares at both Jeremiah and the bouquet, surprised, and a little confused*

I'm Dolasach, yes. But I didn't order any flowers... Who's this from?

[unopenablebox]

now that i have more silk to knit with i cant decide wht to make. on the one hand the little stockinette section of my current shawl is so nice and soft and im very tempted to make something plain stockinette that would sit next to the skin so i can enjoy it more. on the other hand i bought these in small scarf/shawl quantities so i def don't have enough of any one color for a garment and also making a shirt or whatever out of laceweight sounds like i would injure myself severely. on the third hand it takes me a full year to knit a shawl so probably none of this matters because ill never make any of these things

[neims-skeleton-obsession]

Who's your fave sp character besides Skulduggery?

I am very fond of Ghastly, but I think ten year old me would be eternally disappointed if I didn't say Tanith

Has anyone ever told you that you’re really cool

[nicstylus]

Whats ur opinion on all the Dead Men? They're so precious to me I just sit and think about them and pretend nothing bad happened and nobody betrayed anybody...

Hahahaaaa *heavy sigh* Wall of text incoming. Feel free to comment I love reading em :]

Disclaimers: -I've only read up to Dead or Alive. (Spoilers) -I also don't really... form my own opinions on characters and stuff? -I've said before that I don't ship characters together (Is it because I'm aro? Is it because I'm boring? Is it because I spend too much time playing Zelda? Who knows!) and I don't make my own headcannons (all my creative power goes into my own characters. It's a full time job.) Nothing super juicy here, unfortunately. Sorry :[ - I started rambling about death and stuff whoops

Skulduggery: He's my favourite. This is not a surprise to anybody. I love his rashness, his completely disregard for the world when it comes to loyalty, his anger, his ruthlessness, every single terrible quality about him. I love the sarcasm and the wit and the fake it till you make it acts. The pure ridiculousness. If you can't beat em, confuse em. He's a terrible person, hugely irresponsible, but god dammit hes the bastard I signed up to read about and they can never make me hate him.

Ghastly: God I love Ghastly. That man gives great hugs. I don't like hugs but I want to hug him so badly. I wish Phase One had gotten more domestic Ghastly without throwing him into the thick of things as soon as he entered the scene lol I made a doodle chart out of Skul, Val, China, Tanith and Ghastly and had arrows pointing between them all, discussing the terrible things they've done to each other. I couldn't think of a single thing Ghastly did that wasn't bad. I'm sure there was something, a lie maybe, but I can not think of one. I never finished that chart:

Disclaimer for the rest of them: I don't... really think about them all that often xD Like I said I'm really boring I'm sorry I think the only times I really draw them is when I draw them all (like on the pallete) as a group, or when I'm specifically asked to do so (my asks are open! I'm just currently completely sucked into NCIS rn) Anton: This guy would also give great hugs. When I was first reading the books as a kid I envisioned him as like... really short for some reason? Also: I hate drawing him with long hair. I hate it. He looks amazing but oh my god I cannot draw straight long hair. I have no idea how you guys do it, I MUST draw swoops. There has to be waves. Every time I try to draw straight long hair it looks so strange. Look at this: What is this: Why is it so thick? Why is it so... the way that it is? I hate it. Wow that's really all I have to say about him. How depressing..

Dexter: I cannot believe that this guy was the only dead man to Live with flesh and blood still attached lmao I was convinced he was going to die in some huge and gore-iffic way but nope, we grew a beard instead. Can you imagine how scruffy the beard would be? It wouldn't even be able to grow over scar tissue? It would have to be decently big and wild to cover them effectively. Dude was not taking care of himself during Val's ... Exile? Retirement? Do you think anyone even bothered checking up on him?

Saracen: As a kid when I first picked up LSODM I thought the drawing of Erskine was Saracen. I actually had no idea who was who except for Dexter (white T-shirt) and Ghastly (scars) The three other men just kinda... took turns being each other? Anton was between the two black suits but Erskine and Saracen I had no clue lol You can see that his design has changed a lot since I was younger xD His death hit me but probably not as hard as I was expecting it to. Although what I can never get out of my head is like... HOW did Dexter kill him? Its said in the book that Dexter had the god killer bow on his back when he took him into the wilderness. But like... I can't see Dexter... backing up...? To execution-style shoot him??? Did he ALSO have the god killer dagger? Did he just, slit his throat with an arrow? The 'bow only works if the arrow is fired form it, 'god killer' only works if the arrow is fired form the BOW, its not 'god killer arrows' Did Dexter snap his neck? Did he wait until he was asleep and then shoot him? I still can't see him backing away from him to shoot his best friend/(ex)boyfriend. There's no way he shot him point blank with a bow. I've thought about this more than I've thought about Anton I think xD

Erskine: Unfortunately this guy was spoiled for me because I'm just too smart and have the ability to connect dots. I was looking at fan art like... mid way through reading KotW I think, because I wanted to see how people drew Saracen. I found this (by @yoohdontknowme on twitter) and unfortunately zoomed in far enough to see the eyes clearly. Had my 'oh shit' moment and now I'll never know how I'd have reacted to Ghastly's death from an unknowing perspective, which is much more sad than the death instead (kidding don't come for me) I really liked his character arc though, and I liked that he had legit reasoning to kill his friends, no matter how fucked up they were from an outside perspective, HE believed in his reasons and that's what made him a good villain. It wasn't willy nilly and he didn't do it 'just because.' They may have died for nothing, but I think that makes it even more tragic, which is great.

Larrikin and Hopeless: I love the fan art I see of them, and it amuses me that the fandom kind of collectively agreed Larrikin was a redhead. Other than that though, I unfortunately must admit that I have not had a single thought about these by myself. I've never drawn either of them because I don't have images of them in my head (which reallllly annoys me cmon derek) but I appreciate the liberty it gives also haha

I AM---- AAA VAHSVUAGSUA

So, my classes are back, I'm dying yadda yadda ANYWAY THE IMPORTANT PART IS: One of the subjects I am studying is the neural system, how it works, how our sensations works and everything around this and today together w a bunch of thing we studied the tact

And I have a classmate that, when he is explaining something I look directly at him nodding and paying attention, and when I explain something he does the same for me

So, tact, right? It involves the pain, the temperature, touch, pressure, itching and....... tickles.

That bro just started talking about tickling LOOKING DIRECTLY AT ME ALL WHILE I WAS DYING.

I just wiggled and looked around while clamping a hand over my mouth to not start laughing and and stop my brain from pulling ALL the videos, searches and everything I looked about tickling in front of the class

^^^ real picture of me internally during his entire explanation

you have been ASKED!!!!!! use this chance to go off about something fun that you want to rant about. it can be one sentence or be an essay. do whatever! live life!

hello. today i ask all of you gathered here to think about mushishi. this is a mushishi propaganda post. i was going to rant abt how a lot of people discredit anime as a whole bc they mostly only know of shonen and maybe shoujo, and more people need to give seinen anime a chance. but now it is specifically about mushishi.

fun fact about mushishi btw, i read once in an interview that the mangka created ginko, the main character, when she was in a dark and low place in life, and made him to be kind of the ideal friend that she thought would bring her out of this! and thats so cool. hes literally the friend ever!

anyway mushishi is a largely episodic (imo you can watch it largely out of order and be fine. a few characters show back up, and occasionally other events are referenced, but after watching in order a few times i now usually just pick and watch my favorites. you can do whatever you want!) about a man named ginko who lives in a world with creatures called "mushi" (literally means bug if you dont know!) which are invisible to the average human eye, and are kind of like spirits but if they were critters. they are often just living their lives, but sometimes they cause detrimental effects to humans, and ginko travels to help people with these problems, often simply by giving people assistance, rather than like. Fighting The Thing. imo it can be interpreted a lot of ways, but many times it speaks strongly to me as a person with chronic illness - sometimes there isnt one single simple kill it with hammers solution. sometimes you just do your best to mitigate the symptoms. it is a very down to earth and thoughtful experience overall, with some incredibly gorgeous visuals and sound design.

its my person opinion that there is at least one mushishi episode that will speak to any given person in a deep way. even if it isnt Life Changing for you, i still think its a very meaningful show with a lot of interesting things to say. it can be darker at times, but largely retains its hopefulness toward the world, and i think it can like. still help you feel better and more alright with things. but also it WAS life changing for me, and if you like more slower paced stories that dont involve perfect solutions or fighting your problems with fists, but rather learning to live with the world and talking things out, you might like it! give it a try :)

mm not to like Trauma Dump in ur askbox. as someone who hates and loves their dad in equal measure. dean is one of those characters who feels like i’m looking into a mirror. and ur post about dean and john kind of made me realize WHY. so I GET what tf ur saying about how like… dean can just, love his dad. and fucking hate him. both of those can exist in u warring and it feels ugly. cuz it’s like… yeah. u hate them. u hate him- but. there’s still that overwhelming feeling of “but that’s my dad” . and in someway you don’t want to feel that love- want to just ONLY be angry. but it’s not… possible. it’s two sides of the world’s worst coin. and the lack of acknowledgement of that is like, yeah. incredibly frustrating and really does like.. take something away from the dynamic … again like!! sorry a lil trauma dumping but also felt like stating i. agree with ur post and what you’re saying so wholeheartedly and. idk wanted u to know that

yeah i 100% understand. there's this aspect to being abused that goes undiscussed a lot i feel because it's just... kind of frustrating and ugly to talk about. people like it when there's neat character arcs and fandom is, ultimately, about wish fulfillment.

so while it does make sense to me why fanon john is kind of... made into a cartoon-y villain who cannot be empathized with, which extends to his relationship w dean, it's just. frustrating to me. and kind of does a disservice to a lot of people in a lot of ways. every can cope in their own preferred ways obviously, but human nature is complex! and sometimes not everything makes logical sense or even sense in a way that's emotionally cathartic.
