Odysseus with his head in his wife's lap, happily not paying attention to anything, humming one of athenas song and carving something
Some random guy: your majesty----
Odysseus: not bothering to sit up: whatever my wife decided is fine.

I realized I made some notes on how different characters fight in mob psycho, and I never posted them. here you guys go, for any reference needs
Mob: mostly simple attacks, not very showy, just waves his hand and uses telekinesis/exorcizes something, doesn’t move around much. As ???%, much more destructive, psychic force seems to just emanate off of him and destroy everything
Teru: VERY mobile, throws himself around with telekinesis, puts his whole body into the attacks and tends to use moves from normal fights (punches, slaps, kicks, etc). Utilizes a variety of psychic techniques with flexibility, very creative. Piss stance, necktie sword. Much more flashy than Mob
Ritsu: uses powers to throw people/things around. While Mob and Teru attack with just psychic blasts, Ritsu tends to use his powers to grab other things as an attack (grabbing the delinquents and throwing them against each other, throwing the Claw guards against the wall, picking up cars to sandwich Shimazaki between them). Uses his environment creatively (fire extinguisher smoke screen against Shimazaki). More flashy than Mob, but not as mobile as Teru. Hand gestures for Drama
Shou: sneaky + speed + bomb!! Tries to be as evasive as possible using invisibility/speed (probably telekinetically enhanced?) to hit from behind, using either telekinetic force (his stomp in his introduction, the shockwave hit on ???%) or his charge bomb attack. Potentially uses speed/evasive moves as defense instead of the barriers we see most everyone else use
Serizawa: likes to channel his powers into an object (umbrella, business cards). Uses that object as a shield, sword, or something to blast psychic powers out of. Not very mobile in season two, moves around much more in the yokai fight. Not particularly flashy, but looks cool regardless
Reigen: deception/surprise!!! Either tricks people into thinking he’s going to do something else and then attacking, or just outright taking them by surprise and attacking before they know what’s going on. Usually doesn’t have a follow-up move, just does the one attack and hopes for the best. Prefers to bluff his way through a situation
#mp100#I like what these details say about each of the characters#mob doesn't like making a show of things but is very powerful so he doesn't really need to get wild with it#teru I think was very influenced by how the other delinquents fight#because a lot of his moves tend to be punches/kicks/slaps that are psychically enhanced#I guess to fit into how other gang members fought#ritsu is still learning how to use his powers so he really only knows telekinesis at this point#but he's very creative with how he uses that telekinesis and he takes full advantage of his environment#putting that clever brain of his to use!!#shou kind of breaks my heart because he never uses barriers and I worry that he doesn't know how to#because that might have been seen as cowardly#or maybe not an option at all since he was surrounded by espers strong enough to break most barriers#so instead he tries to be fast and sneaky to get the upper hand#I wonder if serizawa doesn't feel as comfortable using his raw power and prefers to channel it into an object? hmm#and then reigen is the king of bluffing and hoping it works out for him#and surprisingly enough it usually does

Yeah, I did fill 4 sketchbooks in 4 months so far this year. Huh? Am I gonna post even an ounce of it? Well, you see, I am allergic to my phone, so you will have to come CATCH ME
#da#nooo but I am so saddd it's so much easier to show stuff off irl 😭#if it could look even halfway decent I've considered doing flip throughs of sketchbooks on video#except I draw in pencil and cameras hate that and want me to explode#idk it is truly just better to somehow gain access to my terrible trove of sketchbooks#no but man that sounds like such an ideal hang out. get all my oc lore by sitting on my floor with me as we go through the archives#gosh I should count how many I've filled up at this point#I love that the number increases exponentially as the years go on#like I think 2018 began the precedent of 4 a year minimum which was kinda wild#another ridiculous difficult project I have given a lot of thought to: combing through every sketchbook and either redrawing#or printing off important story related bits and compiling them all into a convenient binder. maybe binding them into a book.#anyway it's pretty much all a drag no matter how you slice it#come to my HOUSE and look at my CREATURES#u don't know this bc I've learned to be silly sneaky but I have stayed up wayyyy too late AGAIN#but I've scheduled this to post at a normal time so you'll never know. unless you read the tags. but that's its own punishment isn't it#hey bonus enticement to look at my boo stuff that doesn't get on the blog. there's smut. and you KNOW I'm a coward who shan't ever post that#actually we'll be lucky if I'm not the same coward in real life too#it's only Dick and Vinny. they get rights. i don't care if anyone else has sex. I don't care if I have sex.#the one song I hope I don't have sex. I hope we both don't have sex. that's actually Vinny though.#I'm more sex favorable and sex positive than he could ever be#y'know this is a very 4am convo to have and actually how prepared am I for this to live in a pm afternoon time#welp. maybe I should stop being addicted to tags and letting loose all my secrets#I shan't grow I shan't do better and I shan't ever change. this is the da promise <3

hi, Niki here.
so, my health is a bit on the ??? side as I try to understand what is happening to my right arm and my blood pressure (rude! I’ve survived on low blood pressure my whole life, what is this high blood pressure nonsense now??) which makes it a bit difficult for me to wake up at 4.45am every day in order to write, since that’s the only time during the day I have for myself.
so.. I regret to inform y’all that.. (*shudders*) I need to take a break. from writing ;-; and possibly from tumblr. you can reach me on here or ao3 no problem, I’ll reply when I can. there will be no new posts under the #lamb loose liveblogging tag for a while, I’m sorry. I still plan to post a new chapter for my evilive fic by the beginning of April nonetheless but.. yeah, no fun times for a while me fears.
to anyone who marginally likes what I make I want to say: *-* thank u for sticking around, ily, I hope you find money on the ground every day, and I will come back to you with more things to share, don’t worry. in the meantime be safe ok?
🦞u!
~Niki out!
#sneaky niki#niki writes#silky niki#lamb loose liveblogging#btw I learned how to make french fries the other day! all by myself!#can’t eat too many of them tho. my salt intake needs to be lowered apparently#but yeah fun!#oil everywhere! gross! but still! fun!#ok I’m going now.#ly lots peeps#;-;

every day i miss classic feralheart with all my being. take me back to the days of sparklewolves and legally-distinct lions and warrior cats roleplays in borderline liminal 3d worlds at 5am on a school night. i yearn for that comfort again
#ghast.txt#ive been in the “remake” server forever but the project keeps changing hands#i cant find their classic emulator anymore#and the last time i went on the official fh website their ads almost gave me malware#sits#i spent so many hours on that game man. just bring me back#all i wanna do is sit in ficho tunnels or climb up to skys rim for a bit again#we all got soooo cocky and proud when we mastered that broke ass parkour#with the glitchy meshes#i remember how sneaky i felt when i learned how to save my home point to reset to my last point instead of restarting#and then feeling like a dipshit bc everyone else already figured that out LOL#i miss my old main character too... fuck i need to go back on my old da to find screenshots of her

feeling so bleh these days
#i’m learning how to not take things personally but you know how whenever people are quite sneaky about the ways they need help?#it feels disingenuous and I’m trying to learn how to set my boundaries once I’ve identified that without them getting somehow offended#I’m 3 years into my degree and am realizing how toxic people can get even your classmates like it just feels so strange for some reason#there is this person that always asks me and my friend for help and I personally don’t mind helping just cause I like helping and I try to#help whenever I can bc why not? no reason to be selfish with help methinks but anyways#I realized this person is trying to get me to help her but it’s more so she can get closer to my friend and ask her for help & confirmation#bc apparently she’s born here so she’s the more knowledgeable one in terms of English which I’m like … I don’t know her intentions but#actions do speak louder than words? so I don’t want to react so much to this but if it happens then I guess my help would be limited than b4#idk I’m conflicted but I’m trying to not think too much of it#I dont think this comes from a bad place too cause I’ve worked with this person so I know how she’s like#it’s my observations and conversations with her that led me to think this way and def not just from a few convos#but it is whatever. this is life apparently.

I have something else to add in the Daniel vs Max debate, not only would Daniel be going in with the knowledge that Max is the indisputable number 1 driver, but we have evidence that Daniel has cooled down these days, all you have to do is look at how he acted with McLaren, he took team orders on the chin and stayed behind Norris when told. Why would he be any different with Red Bull?
Not only has he been humbled over the last few years but he has proven himself to be nothing but professional in his dealings with a team that didn’t do him the courtesy of doing the same. We have solid evidence that he has matured as a person and we know that he would be going in with certain expectations.
yeah i mean, you're right, absolutely. he's shown a huge amount of growth and professionalism throughout the hellscape that was the mclaren stint, but i DO think it's a bit of a different thing to be told to hold position in fucking p11 vs being told to hold position in p2 when you've gotten a taste of what it feels like to win again. not to say that he still couldn't or wouldn't, but i think it would definitely be a much bigger test of his growth and maturity to be sat next to max in red bull vs lando in mclaren
#and you also have to consider the fact that rbr doesn't seem to like to flat out tell drivers not to race#they seem to rather to just take it out of the driver's hands completely and do some lowkey sneaky strategy maneuver to jockey positions#and i think—at least personally—feeling like you're being fucked over on a team level would be a lot harder to deal with#than just being told straight up where you stand yk 😭#but that being said daniel literally grew up in that environment; he knows how it works; he knows what DIDN'T work for him last time#and i think both sides learned a lot in him leaving and would try to do better if they were in that position again#i keep saying it but i genuinely DO believe it#red bull redux#answered#anonymous

I think I need to get a white board so I can write a big list of all the things I want to do, that I can stick up somewhere prominent so I can regularly see it and then when I actually do stuff I can cross it off or rub it out and feel accomplished!
So first thing on my Things To Do list is... make a things to do list
Hmmmmm
#duckpond stuff#i have too much in my brain and i want to do it all at once#i want to draw a thing for moss for birf and a thing for Sara for birf and also write a silly coco-yuri argument for Sara's birf too#and i also want to draw Nico with Byleth and Shez and her hanging out with Leonie and her learning makeup with Hilda and Dorothea#and her being training buddies with Caspar and Raphael because shes very flippy and theyre always impressed and want to try#and i want to be writing her story (because its not a “standard” year coz she drags shez into crew so all three are students so shenanigans#and doing all the stuff for oc week like working out stats and filling in the pages and outling supports#and I want to keep poking at the by-less golden route thing to see if I can fill in the two missing months and see how byleth can be sneaky#but also want to be playing byless blue hopes and Ghost Trick and IWATE#and i wanna be cross-stitching and sewing wyvern wing and maybe even starting my white wyvern?????#and want to crochet shrugs and shawls and hooded scarfs. which reminds me of the espeon hood i promsed MIL fucknuggets#and i want to be making (and eating) cake and and and#and im doing NONE OF THESE THINGS#TT__TT

Actually getting so mad about that guy that kidnapped a perfectly healthy baby moose to "save it from a bear" instead of alerting wildlife conservation specialists that it was on the highway. He literally STUFFED it in his truck and drove hours to some random farm. He was rightfully fired and now people are acting like the companies and wildlife agencies that put rules in place for a reason are heartless or something. I hate to side with corporations but there is a reason unqualified people are not meant to handle and transport wildlife. For fucks sake i seriously need some of yall to stop anthropomorphizing wild animals. They arent goddamn cartoon characters. Even if there was a bear, why should the bear starve because this dumbass wanted to play bambi instead of respecting the way nature works.
STOP FUCKING HANDLING ANIMALS TO "SAVE" THEM UNLESS YOURE SPECIFICALLY NOTIFIED THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE. This fucking asshole could've seriously injured both himself and that moose because he wanted to look like a good person instead of considering what the right course of action should have been
#sorry i get so fucking heated avout the way people treat animals even when they have “”'good“”“ intentions#those good intentions get animals hurt#that goes for people wanting to help turtles cross the street but don't take the time to learn how to properly do kt#animal conservation#fuck that guy and his dumbass intentions he didnt intend shit!!#i literally do not know what was going through his head because not only did he lie about what happened#the dash cam footage shows him being all sneaky and forcing the calf into his overcrowded truck#and he refuses to admit that he fucked up!

I have to fight myself so hard to not be the world's biggest snob about oni lore, I think abt it and shake like a small dog as I remember that most ppl haven't read it all at least 5 times. Most ppl haven't even read it all once. Please please please please I know it looks like 90% is irrelevant to the main meat of the lore but actually a good 20% of that 90% is more important than that initial 10% and a good 40% of that remaining 70% is also vital to actually understand the lore and then that remaining 30% is also vital to the story and if you don't read it then I will crumble and die
#rat rambles#oni posting#but like for real oni is sooo sneaky with how it distribute its important lore tidbits its so easy to miss shit#its the glory of the silhouette storytelling oni has but it also means that its easy to not realize that the outline is there sometimes#the joy of it is finding the fragments and learning to spot the minor things that actually matter a lot only to be punched in the face by#one of the logs that you never knew existed before and have that shatter everything you thought you knew#I know I always bring up a seed is planted when I talk abt oni but straight up its probably one of the most important logs like. period.#like the way the biggest grain of hope this story has to offer is tucked away in one log that would otherwise be just sorta neat without#being necessarily groundbreaking is soooo fucking important to me like shit man#I love the duplicants theyre such a tragedy in their own right but one with a much more hopeful ending#well not ending per say but a more hopeful future#its a delightful counterpart to the main tragedy that is being told which ends almost completely miserably#the temporal tear is basically the only seed of hope olivia's story has to offer and I dont personally see it as a big one#and I Adore that abt the story especially in contrast with the dupes much more subtle underlining story#I was going to go on a whole ramble abt all the things I adore abt tragedy as a genre but its late and I need to sleep#rest assured tragedy is like my absolute favorite shit when done well#god knows it can be done poorly but when its done right it goes so fucking crazy

Hello!! I'm very curious about the Far From the Madding Crowd draft (also I see that Auditors/Unicorn crossover) 👀
I am ashamed to report that the Far From the Madding Crowd project was mostly inspired by the movie rather than the book, but this didn’t stop me from reading the book after me watching it (for Researching™️ purposes 💪😤)... but my writing project never got to ch3 even ahah 🤣 mostly bc I wasn’t confident in my English and bc Hardy likes his fictional places too much and I got distracted learning about all the fancy names he used for his beloved Wessex.
so. it was supposed to be set after the end: Gabriel and Bathsheba manage to dig Boldwood out of prison through a royal pardoning and make him their gamekeeper.
since Boldwood has not being sentenced to death and was made to stay in “confinement during Her Majesty’s Pleasure” (so, technically, indefinitely) after claiming insanity, I figured he would have been sent in one of those forced labor prison quarries for debt-collectors (or something on those lines) known in the Victorian era to be awful places to be at the time. I researched the system of the allotted working hours a day to earn “tickets” to get out of prison, the eventual move to Australia for the luckier ones, how life was shaping up to be for someone getting out of prison etc...
I wanted to explore the concept of a land-owner turned prisoner as he struggles to find his way back to his hometown. the people who found a way for him to get out of prison are well-meaning, but they don’t know what he went through. it’s unheard of for a murderer like him to have been granted to leave prison too, so the people who used to work for him in the fields are wary of him now, new workers adding to the fuel of the rumors being spread about him.
moreover, I still wanted to show how the church usually was made to be in charge of a reintroduced criminal’s redemption, asking him to sing in the choir and do errands for the poor, forcing him to go to mass and then listen to Sunday lectures in the afternoon with the local children as if he were not an adult anymore. in this situation, Boldwood would have felt less than human, his mind spiraling back to his prison days, especially his first few years of confinement in isolation. so I would have liked for people who had known him for a long time to be kind and understanding to him despite the social stigma, while newcomers would have been less eager to be associated with him.
the married couple now handles both of the neighboring domanins, but the larger one is mostly empty for the majority of the time. Boldwood is made to live in a small cottage away from the rest of the townsfolk and the workers, so he is able to see his old house only occasionally, feeling like a ghost haunting it’s grounds when keeping watch. he cannot handle kindness anymore and feels out of place with new clothes and good food on his plate, his body arguing with him due to his new limitations.
feeling misguided anger towards the woman he went to prison for while feeling unworthy of her, Boldwood can’t stand the sight of her and only manages to interact with her husband due to his gentle and understanding nature, but he still cannot fathom why they have picked the smaller residence rather than the larger one to live in, or why they wanted him back to begin with. he feels mocked and wronged and lonely above else.
in truth, after getting their happy ending, the Oaks had started to feel guilty about living there while he rotted in prison, feeling indebted to him for freeing them from Troy’s poisoning presence in the past. they thought that bringing him back from his confinement would have eased their conscience, but they found themselves unable to handle his new temperamental nature and mood swings, only hoping to treat his newly acquired illnesses after years of forced labor as a way to welcome him back into their lives.
it was meant to be a healing journey through kindness and simplicity, while still eyeing the changing expectations of society at large with a focus on how even someone of the gentry like Boldwood would have struggled to be back into the world.. especially since he was not that well bred to begin with and only had barely enough connections to survive the death penalty. still a murderer, no matter the circumstances, Boldwood would try to atone for his sin by denying himself happiness, feeling guilty for having wished for love when that should have been precluded to him long ago.
I wanted it to be a mixture of Crime and Punishment and Elective Affinities, and if the poly agenda won in the end.. what then?? XD
but since it didn’t happen.. now I have a bunch of trivia about Victorian prisons to yap about to unsuspecting friends :D
#thank you for asking dear :)#I stopped working on this last October... then I began writing my current fic xD like. the following month??#so maybe the ‘newly disabled person comes back home and has to learn how to live again’ trope stuck with me for the new project as well#I think it’s the burnout talking at this point ahah#anyway. take care of yourself alright?#I’ll get to your DMs soon :)#lovely mutuals#niki answers#sneaky niki#[for the Auditors/Unicorn crossover I’ll make a separate post since I got an ask about that! I’ll tag you tho!]

I read your last few personal posts and I just wanted to say I am SO happy you're in a better situation 💜 I hope you take care and that the next few months are kind to you
Thank you :') 💙 It's all very exciting. I have a home now and a bed, and I have my cat back. And I can just... Go grab food whenever I want??? And it's safe?? It's wild. Adjusting is weird. I feel a bit like a feral animal learning how to not be feral.
But I think I'm going to be really happy here.
Thank you for messaging me 💙It made me really happy
#asks#anon#i also have my art tablet back so thats hype#it still doesnt feel real tbh#ive dreamed of this my whole life#i need to learn how to do a lot of things that most people consider normal so thats an interesting/kinda funny thing going on#and being able to go outside whenever i want!! i love the outdoors#i was mostly stuck in one room for over a decade so even just having more than one room to be in is so freeing#and i dont need to be sneaky to get around#it blows my mind that most people have this much freedom and that this is normal#and food!!! i dont need to ration anymore#im so happy#OH and cooking! Im used to grabbing what i can and eating it cold/raw. eating warm food makes me so happy i could cry#plus im actually pretty good at cooking#oh and spices! i love using spices so much. the food i grew up with was....very gross. no seasoning ever. barely even salt#and there was always a good chance itd make me sick because my parents thought i was lying about allergies#they believed one (1) of them because they tricked me into eating it to be like “ha! gotcha!” but then i almost needed the hospital so#they sure believed me after that#im rambling too much whoops im just really excited and having a place to talk about it is nice
