I'm just trying to corrupt you and exploit your kinks, while encouraging and helping you to take better care of your mental health. So you are able to find peace in working through the trauma that gave you those kinks in the first place.

Star Boy Redesign (again help)

Ok, so I only changed his design since it looked pretty bland to me, so I added more to him. Ofc, you can't really see the bottom half of him (mainly because I didn't render it lol), but it is somewhat the same as my last redesign with slight changes.

And yes, if his magic is stolen, it can be returned, but he would just be as someone would concider dead until his magic is returned to him.

Character sheet:

Yes, he is a shape-shifter, but HE CANNOT TRANSFORM INTO OTHER HOMANS. He can only transform into his human form.

In each transformation, he has certain features applied to them, like how he has his lil cape on the mouse and rabbit version of himself, and others like the deer having some more star patters on the fur. I am debating if he can transform into objects too, but I'm personally not sure yet.

Also for anyone thinking: Wow he is pretty powerful, does he have limits?

And yes, he does. He cannot hurt people. Not because he is a pasifist, no its because thats not how Wishing Stars Function. They are only here to guide the user, give them items or advise to help them achive their user's goal. But they can heal people and animals physically but not mentally. He can also create stuff to protect the user plus other people if harm gets into their way like shields, but not weapons like swords or spears.

Personality wise, he is like a mix of Arial and Peter Pan, but like....JACK FROST CODED yk?? Still working on that part, but he is getting there :)

[blackswaneuroparedux]

Man is the creature who does not know what to desire, and he turns to others in order to make up his mind. We desire what others desire because we imitate their desires.

- René Girard (1923-2015)

Frnechman René Girard’s work has been enjoying a renaissance in recent years. He has long been recognised for his theory of human behaviour and human culture. In 2005 he was inducted into the Académie française, and in 2008 he received the Modern Language Association's award for Lifetime Scholarly Achievement. He was Professor Emeritus at Stanford University.

Back more than 50 years ago, René Girard started teaching French literature because he needed a job. He hadn't even read many of the books he was assigned to teach. Then, as he studied the classic novels of Stendhal and Proust with a fresh mind, staying one step ahead of his students, he was struck by a series of similarities from novel to novel. Unbound by any narrow research agenda, Girard discovered a simple but powerful pattern that had eluded sophisticated critics before him: imitation is the fundamental mechanism of human behaviour.

Stories thrive on conflict between characters. By reading the great writers against the grain of conventional wisdom, Girard realised that people don't fight over their differences. They fight because they are the same, and they want the same things. Not because they need the same things (food, sex, scarce material goods), but because they want what will earn others' envy. Humans, with a planning intelligence that sets them apart from all other animals, are free to choose. With freedom comes risk and uncertainty: humans don't know in advance what to choose, so they look to others for cues.

People can desire anything, as long as other people seem to desire it, too: that is the meaning of Girard's concept of "mimetic desire." Since people tend toward the same objects of desire, jealousy and rivalry are inevitable sources of social tension.

"What Do You Like?" they question.

What an impossible question to answer.

"I like to have fun," I might respond. "I like to play," might slip from my tongue. "Show me what I don't know I like," became my favorite retort. Because when it came to the fella I met at the bar, I liked to ride. I liked his hands grabbing at my boobs and his fingers digging into my hips.

And there was that fling I had; I liked the unknown, the spontaneity, the sudden desire.

Yet, when I met that couple on vacation, I liked to watch. Seeing their joy and their want plastered on their faces is what I wanted. Watching their bodies move perfectly together, that is what I wanted.

I liked when my college boyfriend made out with the lips between my legs while I sucked his friends dick.

That time with the blindfold and the handcuffs was pleasurable. I liked the intimate, sensual experience.

Or there was that guy I met on Tinder with whom I shared steamy messages. I liked the intellectual aspect of carrying out an intimate conversation.

And I like watching porn with you. Sharing desires and curiosities, the openness and the vulnerability and the trust.

"I find pleasure in discovering new likes," I counter decidedly.

I love talk about any couples' love languages. It reveals so much to a character's core, provides background, and tells us about who they are!

We all know Colin's love language is physical touch; I suspect he will greatly receive love by way of words of affirmation (we've already seen "you merely believed yourself in love; one should never apologize" exhibit A and 'purpose' scene exhibit B). Imo, Penelope shows her love with words of affirmation/she will receive love through physical touch and acts of service; I feel Penelope would be the type to take into account actions shown to her over what is said, and of what seems too good to be true.

There's just such a long list of what we could see-

Physical Touch: 1001 ways Polin shows their affection inc Carriage scene ✔️confirmed, Mirror scene ✔️confirmed, also the unholy trilogy.. (parts 1, 2, & 3+) of Every Couples' Journey to Acceptance of their Feelings for One Another: The Unplanned Moment that Catches You Off Guard, The "I need this to happen again to confirm what I think is right" Initiation by 1 Participant Re-moment, & The Establishing "this is where we're at--'so in love, but we haven't said it yet'," Mutual Affair that makes a couple look completely at ease and settled even though they've only been together for like 3 weeks atp, (often times shown in a montage).

Also) the most casual touches/shows of affection-Penelope sitting on Colin's lap, hand-holding, hair brushing or brushing hair behind ear, etc. etc.

Words of Affirmation: Colin telling Penelope he loves her and all the things he loves about her in a big speech; Penelope telling Colin she loves him and going into depth of her long-term affection for him; Penelope complimenting Colin's writing, and encouraging him about his writing; Colin complimenting something of Penelope in their lessons; admiration and affection for one another's snark; Colin complimenting Penelope's makeover dress; Colin complimenting Penelope's writing 😯; Penelope accidentally letting it slip something she likes about him while she's trying to remain mad and it being the cutest thing that can't help but make even the antis go "aww"

Acts of Service: cooking for the other; Colin trying to 'protect' Pen with his heroicism x 20; Penelope making a dessert for Colin

Quality Time: Lessons aka Colin finding excuses to stay near her; reading together; writing together; long walk together; calling upon one another at their houses; standing together x50 at balls; dinner?; Lady Danbury-Polin interractions plzzzz; if Colin somehow takes Penelope on a date; drawing room, if Penelope and Colin spend time with Eloise as the third wheel- time with other siblings where we see how they are a third wheel...

Gifts: Necklace?; Colin brought back something else from his trip for Pen (bonus if he gives it to her once they're engaged due to the circumstances); Penelope's potential letters she never sent (is this a gift? I'm counting it.); flowers

[Image ID] Starscream week - Day 1 - [Pre-War] Abandoned WIP of pre war Cybertron. Starscream could either be looking out of a window or having his back to a large window. He is looking through the viewer. There's a skyscraper next to Starscream in the shot. The top of the skyscraper is reminiscent of a crown with three prongs. And a representation of the pre-war discontent Starscream may have held. With even the buildings of cybertron seemingly being better than him. Acting as a subconscious influence to his harsh nature. And short term wants. 'The grass is always greener on the other side.' Is how they say this feeling on Earth.
