🤔 THINKING FACE — what three emotions tend to dominate your mindset? do you know why they do?

"My therapist has the impression that I ought to put some thought into anger management. I don't know how he came to such a conclusion. If I am angry, it is for a very good reason."

"In fact, I have very good reasons for everything I do. That's why I do it. I like to think myself an optimist really. There are those naysayers that cry, 'You'll never defeat Motherboard', 'Motherboard's much too powerful', 'You've failed so many times already'. I say it's only a matter of time. And making sure those three kids are buried in a ditch."

“ do you ever hear yourself? ” starter prompt, sent by @aethergate

Venomous scowled as he stared down at his wrist, at the screen on his watch. "If you don't like it, you can scurry on out of here. In fact - go already." Shadowy's enough trouble. The last thing he wants is for the shadow to think of taking control.

"I don't have time to be an unpaid babysitter for someone's kid," he then turned his arm, wiggling his wrist as he turned his gaze to Vanitas. "I have too many orders to attend to in my lab on top of the usual work in my office. In other words - busy. Had enough of your spiel on power too. Run along home already, kid. Made it clear you wouldn't have any business to do with me anyway." Really, truly, Shadowy goes on and on about that enough. 'You're weak,' 'You need more power,' 'I'm the stronger one,' 'I could do better' - just remembering is enough to make him want to hide in his lab and drown in work. He can understand Shadowy's need to pester him - he can't do much when Venomous is in charge of his body. But this random Hot Topic teen? If he's going to be a highschool bully, can't it be with actual highschoolers?

anemone , chamomile , marigold !

anemone :   how does your muse view the world ;   as a cruel   &   unforgiving place ,   a land full of wonders ,   or something in - between ?  where does that world view come from   (   what experiences ,   life lessons ,   etc .   ) ?  

despite his more pessimistic + "objective" view on the world, i think dipper does view the world as a land full of wonders! which, for obvious reasons, comes from him being twelve. but i think he's always been a curious child who wanted to learn more about the world around him, and going to gravity falls definitely fostered that sort of view! <- especially considering just how easily he took in the journal and all of its contents into his own worldview, and how he started to add onto it with extra information and about all the stuff that he saw in gravity falls that weren't in the journal when he first got it.

chamomile :   what is your muse likely to take away from a painful experience ?   are they one to be haunted by adversity ,   or to use what they’ve gone through to become stronger ?  

huffs and sighs. dipper is incredibly haunted. on one hand, he definitely learns from his mistakes to try and become stronger and smarter. BUT. he's young, and especially in the second half of the show, he's starting to throw himself into situations that are progressively getting more and more dangerous. he's also an already incredibly anxious individual, so i think a lot of the more fucked up things that happen to him tend to stick for longer and longer periods of time. besides the obvious (weirdmageddon), sock opera and the shapeshifter are things i imagine will be something that will not get out of his mind for a LONG time.

marigold :   is your muse prone to jealousy ?  how might they handle envious feelings ? 

oh WOW is dipper prone to very "typical" jealousy like how he dealt with Everything wendy related during his summer at gravity falls. i think even beyond that, he can be very envious on how other people are viewed and treated compared to him. caused, in part, by his lack of self confidence. (being bullied pretty consistently, as well as being the more introverted twin do not help!) and heeee STRUGGLES to deal with it. i definitely feel it gets better for him later on, especially when he learns how to stand up for himself. depending on how strong the feeling is, dipper is Prone to acting out to try and be viewed in a better light, and often does stupid things. i.e. everything in double dipper. and just his relationship with robbie.

@aethergate ( benry ) sent ; being in the galactic senate

"The what?" Maybe he's not as well-versed in the politics of the galaxy as Jim or Spock might be, but he knows damn well there's no such thing as a galactic senate. "You're a little under-dressed for a politician."

⭐!!!

Here have some chef recommendations || @aethergate

Well okay aside from obvious combinations ( Axel and Roxas, Vanitas and Ven, our Soras and each other's heart squad guys, etc ), I'm really interested in some of the underexplored dynamics we could have between our pool of muses 👀 So for the sake of this ask let's just assume I want any and every combination of KH and Disney guys possible but some highlights:

Repliku and Roxas — Dudeeeee they could bond over weird Replica body shit. Weird clone identity issue stuff. Someone pls talk to Roxas about this he needs to stop bottling this shit up KSJHFLJKD

Marluxia and Ventus — BUT LIKE SPECIFICALLY POST-KH3 BECAUSE VEN DOESN'T REMEMBER THE UX ERA.....MAN..........

Data Riku and Sora — Omg how fun would it be for Sora to get to see a little Riku in his puter. Bring the datascape back somehow and maybe give Sora an idea of what his lil digital double did??? Something something talking about data Naminé??? Idk this feels like it has potential

@aethergate asked: ❝ what’s with that look? you don’t think i can do it? ❞ / zim to pleakly :] let the silly begin

Where did this kid come from and why were some of his mannerisms similar to the things Jumba did before he created the Evil Scientist Patch? It's probably not working but it's a hell of a placebo. He's down to three bouts of maniacal laughter a day. He's about Lilo's height... Just be nice. It's not like he's Myrtle. What's the worst that can happen? Bringing three noodly appendages up to impeccably lined lips, Auntie Pleakley gives a polite cough and then promptly sucks in too much air, starting to cough a little too much. "I'm fine. I'm fine! I don't need CPR... Unless Fabio is hiding in the bushes...!" A few more coughs and they've recovered with a wheeze. "It's a lot of big words and ideas!" Too smart. The Galactic Federation never mentioned earth children being smart. Lilo was smart, but that was different. This was... did that have something to do with this child being green? Maybe it was some mutation? Maybe Pleakley would be the first one to document it! Hyper-intelligent green earth children... Squinting for a moment, Pleakley began to study Zim with extra scrutiny. Wait a second. "...Where did you say you were an exchange student from...?"

@aethergate asked:

There's a light knock on the cabins door - hopefully this was the right one. He's brought a loaf of bread as a gift, the first one he hasn't managed to burn. "Hello..? Is Snow White here? It's me, Luka!" / @aethergate because of course it is.

So the princess has been giving her address out as the cottage? That's... She's avoiding the castle. Makes sense. He stares at the young man for a while. Okay, inhale. He's... There's something about him that's not quite right. He's human but there's something else there. He can't figure it out. It's melancholy. Sad. Cold. But he's trying to be warm and sunny. He's trying. It's like that feeling when Happy enters a room after they had a bad day at work. Doc clears his throat. "She ain't due in 'till the weekend. Y'missed 'er. Uh... well, she might've not... Y'know, I might be outta the swoop- uh, the loop. C'mon in, s'gettin' cold. Don't get chilled." Swooping is bad. So is immediately trusting people. But what has the princess taught you? ...Uh, eat now and ask questions later? Not everything is Grimhilde in disguise but if you do, you have that pickaxe...? He gestures to the small chairs surrounding the table. "Luka... I'll send a bluebird, let 'er know yer waitin' fer 'er. Work's got 'er fought up- erm, caught up. Might take 'er bit to get 'ere. How uh, long y'stayin'? Usually she ain't invitin' much company 'less it's uh... Some lady friends. We ain't entertain much. Oh, d-don't... I ain't mind! My, uh... family jus' ain't good wit' manners." He taps his fingers nervously against the table. This shouldn't feel this awkward yet he has a feeling there's something about this. Princess, what did you set up...? "...W-we got a lil' time to hat- uh, chat 'fore she comes 'round." Hours if she already knew. Two days if she didn't know. Well... Maybe he had a board game.

CEMETERY DRIVE. ; how does your character cope with loneliness?

three cheers for sweet revenge headcanon prompts // accepting

he doesn't cope well with loneliness. ever since his imprisonment, he gets antsy when he is left alone for significant periods of time. an hour or two? fine, okay. he can manage that, but any longer will cause him to feel anxious. unfortunate then, that he can hardly have any company due to the sheer isolation of the studio. but, he tries his best to work with what he has available to him.

which does lead him to cling to the few friends that he does have. finding any excuse to hang around them, so he won't feel lonely. this does teeter on him having a phobia of being alone, likely worsened by his already present fear of abandonment.

there's just this charismatic vibe to your writing & characterizations and this human sincerity to all your characters without feeling out of turn for any of them and I love the way they bounce off the walls with your writing style accompanying it Super nicely and I just!!! I really love reading it, I wish I could interact more/find more excuses to interact but brain's dumb but I still LOVE it /gen

🗡️ DAGGER — what is something or someone you know you can't afford to lose? how far are you willing to go to make sure you don't lose it/them?

interview with a microscope.

perceptor is uncharacteristically silent in response to the question. yes... that is a good question isn't it? he's not felt exceptionally close to anyone in a long time. not since he became a wrecker. it became hard to get close to others when they'd end up dying anyways in an ever-changing roster of increasingly fucked up 'bots. he was out of place then as he feels out of place now.

he and socializing doesn't get along.

as for things? well he had already lost it once before. his own passion. his own morals. himself. maybe that part of him died on that floor in turmoil's ship.

he wishes he could express himself better. maybe that would make things easier. " my... team. " he had failed them before, with getaway's- well, that's supposed to be behind him now, isn't it? " i... they are too good for me, sometimes. and i do not wish to fail them as i had before. there are others but... i fear the feeling is often one-sided. "

he could make an entire list and none would be the wiser of being on it. rodimus. drift. magnus. nautica. kup. springer. brainstorm. highbrow. blaster. verity. even whirl. it goes on. and he could not tell a single one of them just how strongly he feels.
