#Weird quirks

[deathinfeathers-a]

//I will always have a lot of respect for people who write their own original characters. It is an uphill battle in a lot of cases. Wether or not your character will get traction is largely based in who you interact with/the graphics you use/pure luck (none of which should be a factor but that is the way of the tumbls I'm afraid). I've had Ocs who crashed and burned within a couple of months and others who were cornerstones of massive verses for years and years. My only advice is to keep being creative and keep putting your characters out there. You'll find your audience if you are willing to put in the work.

“People sometimes misinterpret who I am as a character and I don’t like that.”

“I get it, I can be bratty and a diva sometimes, but there’s actually a lot hiding under the surface.”

“I’m protective, hard-working, dedicated, creative, musically gifted, I would absolutely walk through a hurricane for my sisters. The boys too!”

“Lately, I dunno, I’ve been feeling this weird protective big sister instinct over Alvin when he chooses to take his ADHD meds and turns into Albert-Vincent. He’s so strange and more…innocent? I don’t know how to explain it, really.”

“BUT IF ANYONE MAKES THAT BOY HAVE A ROUGH DAY, I WILL PERSONALLY PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE AND REMIND THEM TO SHUUUUT UP!”

A "fun" thing that happens with me is that sometimes instead of having language NOT GO, it sort of gets small blocks on some words, many of them common words, so I end up sounding like something out of a historic novel employing my full huge vacubularly ro express simple concepts. Because I cannot use ghe quick words. And while this happens, i lose focus EASILY on what i;m doing or saying, so I end up talking and talking and talking - or writing and writing and writing - and people always find it far, far too much.

It stands in ironic contrast to the times i cannot write or speak at all.

Shang Qinghua, holding a present: Happy Birthday my king!

Mobei-Jun: ...what?

Shang Qinghua: Oh, once a year humans celebrate our birthdays with gifts, so I got you something!

Mobei-Jun: No I got that, I just don't know how you know it's my birthday, I don't even know when I was born

Shang Qinghua, sweating profusely: I guessed

I thought this game didn't have random encounters!

So we all know by now that Dazai is comfortable enough around Chuuya to show nervousness/worry.

Enough times for Chuuya to pick up on that pattern. The pattern, may I remind you, that doesn't have evident correlation to either nervousness or worry to most people. One that can even be interpreted as misplaced given the situation.

Which means that Dazai has done this in front of Chuuya so often, that Chuuya at first was hella confused, before he finally made a connection between when and why it happens. And still remembered that connection after four years of separation. Which gets us to my point:

What if this isn't the only emotion Dazai displays weirdly?

What if he has multiple unconventional patterns he displays for sadness, frustration, content, or disgust? The times he really feels them, and they become too strong for him to just deal with normally? What if these are the only times he's actually being genuine with his emotions?

And Chuuya is the only one who is familiar with them all?

Dazai would be jumping rope and Chuuya would be like, "quit sulking, let's get icecream"

Dazai hanging upside down on the couch and Chuuya going, "It's okay, mackerel. You can cry."

Dazai actually crying, full on heart-wrenching sobs, and Chuuya unironically going, "What, good news?"

It's just... comforting, for one person in Dazai's life to read him like a book. Everyone else would look at him like he's crazy, displaying wrong emotions/behaviors at the wrong time, but Chuuya knows that it's just how he processes feeling properly, and thus he's the only one Dazai can count on to put things into context and understand, which makes him display them even more openly.

Because Chuuya never shamed him for his quirks, as much as Dazai never did his.

Laois from Dungeon Meshi legit feels like someone said the generic blond main character guy in a fantasy story can never actually be an interesting character in his own right and Ryoko Kui went, “Oh, bet?”

‧₊˚ POWER / QUIRK IDEAS FOR YOUR DR ❀

THOSE weird MHA fans DNI, gtfo. anyways, If you're seeking inspiration for powers or quirks in your My Hero Academia desired reality, I've got you covered! While I’m not a huge MHA fan myself, like at all, I did some research and thought these ideas could be helpful. Enjoy!

SHATTERFALL

The user can create floating crystal shards from their body that explode into a cascading, glass-like dust upon impact. These shards can be fired as projectiles, controlled midair for delayed detonations, or used as melee weapons. The explosions release energy that can knock opponents back or momentarily disorient them. If the user concentrates, they can cause the shards to create temporary reflective surfaces, distorting light to create illusions.

DOWNSIDE

The user must be cautious, as creating too many shards weakens their skin, making them more fragile to physical attacks. The reflective illusions drain mental focus, and overuse can cause headaches and blurred vision. Additionally, once the shards explode, they cannot be reformed, meaning wasted attacks deplete their resources quickly.

ECHOCHAIN

The user can produce invisible sound chains that tether them to surfaces, people, or even soundwaves themselves. These chains allow them to pull themselves toward objects, bind enemies in place, or amplify sounds by sending reverberations through the chains. If an enemy is struck with an attack while tethered, the force can be repeated, creating an “echo” effect that magnifies the damage.

DOWNSIDE

The chains only last for a limited time before breaking, and maintaining multiple at once strains the user’s vocal cords, eventually causing temporary muteness. The echoes can backfire if poorly controlled, sending the amplified force back at the user. The chains are also affected by environmental noise, making them harder to manage in chaotic areas.

VOIDWALKER

The user can create small patches of void-like darkness that they can step into, disappearing and reappearing through another patch within range. These voids absorb energy-based attacks, negating lasers or fire, and they can also trap objects inside, making them vanish temporarily. The user can extend these voids over their limbs to create intangible strikes that phase through defenses before solidifying on impact.

DOWNSIDE

The voids cannot stay open for long, and creating too many at once causes them to collapse unpredictably. If the user enters a void and loses focus, they risk becoming trapped in their own ability for a short time. The voids do not block physical attacks, making the user vulnerable if they rely too much on phasing.

MARIONETTE

The user can generate thin, nearly invisible threads from their fingertips that attach to people or objects, allowing them to control their movements like puppets. They can use the threads to manipulate weapons from a distance, pull themselves toward surfaces, or even force enemies into unnatural movements by overriding their muscle control.

DOWNSIDE

The threads are extremely fragile and break under excessive strain. The more people or objects the user tries to control, the weaker each individual thread becomes. If an enemy has a strong enough will or physical resistance, they can break free. Overuse of this quirk causes muscle spasms in the user’s hands, temporarily paralyzing them.

RIFTFORGE

The user can create energy-forged weapons that temporarily exist in a different phase of reality, allowing them to pass through matter before fully solidifying. They can throw a blade, phase it through a wall, then make it tangible again behind an opponent for surprise attacks. These weapons can also disrupt other quirks that rely on energy or elemental control by severing their connection.

DOWNSIDE

The weapons require intense focus to maintain, and if the user loses control, they might not materialize properly or disappear entirely. The phasing effect only lasts for a few seconds, making timing crucial. The weapons also cause strain on the user’s hands, and overuse can result in temporary numbness, limiting their combat ability.

melinoe hades 2 is such a good protagonist. like the writing is so.... they're not afraid to show her as both a really single-minded, callous, somewhat black and white morality person, as well as showing how she can be kind, or uncertain of herself under the pressure she's under, or a bit silly at times. she's so endearing, and you can FEEL that she's going to have such a neat arc whenever all the set up with the olympians and mortal stuff pays off

the fact that you have to have these arguments with prometheus, where she's just willfully denying that he has a point bc her entire identity is based around never questioning her mission... i love her so much, in conclusion i'm this cat
