Would any of your ocs bite me if I hugged them?
Most likely Callum and Kieran!
Callum would absolutely hate it at first since he doesn’t exactly like to be touched. So you’d have to give him some time to get used to you before you hug him… he would love hugs after a while of course! Though he might be a little scared of hurting the person who’s hugging him
Kieran just doesn’t like anyone touching him either. It doesn’t matter if you give him time either. So if you try to hug him he would probably get very violent very fast, even if he’s big thanks to being trapped in a lab his entire life with people who were very sadistic. The only way you’d ever get to hug him is if he lets you, which is a very low chance- (it’s kind of like how an animal can sense a mood coming off of a person, if he senses you’re bad then he won’t let you do anything unless forced into submission) also he would be the type to purr when you pet him and then act like nothing happened out of embarrassment- Just because he’s supposed to act tough and not show weakness hahaaa-
Thank you for the ask anon!
#Duck asks#Yeahhh those would be my two OC’s that would bite you#They wouldn’t kill you of course#maybe scare you off to leave them alone#but only one would allow it after a while-#With Kieran he either sees bad or good#And if you’re carrying something like a weapon on you he would definitely scare you off#But otherwise you should be all good#all about first impressions lol#Thank you for the ask anon!#love you guys ❤️

which fandom do you think you were most involved in
Hmmmmm, this is a tough question!!! But also, an interesting one lol. I’d say, in terms of actually creating and uploading art it’d be either Undertale or SCP! Most likely it’s SCP but I remember being RLLY into Undertale back when it first came out and drawing a bunch of stuff for it
But, in terms of the fandom I was MOST personally involved and invested and ride or die on for the longest amount of my life, regardless of amount of fanart I’ve drawn (cuz robots r hard to draw…) it would without question be transformers lol, I’ve been obsessed with that shit since like 5th grade… I used to read thru tfwiki pages just for fun as a child and to see the funny captions on photos or the interesting trivia. I had one of crashboombangers old brainstorm voice clips as my alarm clock back then and it was DEVASTATINGLY LOUD, I shared my room w someone else back then and had that as my alarm and little me, had no sense of common decency towards someone else’s sleep cuz that shit was like a bomb went off at 5:30. It was terribly loud ghgh-
I was, And still am kinda obsessed with sharing and showing transformers to ppl cuz I think it’s rlly good!!! (Generally I show Tfp to ppl first cuz it’s a very cool well made entertaining show that I feel is a good entry point. But like. I enjoy a lot of the different versions, and showing them to ppl!) And I want more ppl! To care about and be obsessed w these hot sexy awesome giant robots!!! They’ve literally informed so much of my interests ghgh- and actually, I went back and checked my deviantart. And I don’t have a lot of my old transformers art on this blog. Cuz I had an old one I accidentally deleted before this one. But I’ve actually drawn MORE transformers art than I have scp art… apparently. I mean they might be evened out considering I haven’t rlly made many transformers videos like I have for scp. But still! Yeah.. transformers was and still is my favorite shit ever. I don’t draw a lot of stuff for it but it is always in my heart.
#assks#legitimately… it is the baseline fandom holding up all my other interests#I’m not as ravenously into it as I was in middle and highschool. just cuz. I can’t keep that up forever lol#but. the love is still always there. it’s just evened out in intensity a bit#generally tho. especially when it comes to making fanart. I’m very bad at sticking to fandoms for an extended time#like. I lose interest / motivation in making stuff pretty fast#but. I still enjoy the fandom! just! my brain! is bad at letting me make things for stuff I enjoy. or sticking on one thing for too long#I kinda have a few different fandoms I like rotate thru. unless something new suddenly pops up that disturbs the rotation#but it’s like… Soul eater. transformers. Undertale / Deltarune. pokemon#a few others. I don’t draw a lot of pokemon fanart either ghghg but I DO rlly love it lol#thanks for the ask tho! it was interesting to answer!#pepper words#I also was rLLY fucking into gravity falls and Steven universe back when they were airing#but I think I lost a lot of my art for them on my old blog… I mean it’s probably all still on my deviantart but yeah..#those were also very big fandoms for me! but after they ended I definitely noticeably lost interest a bit#also I just noticed ur username.. and I clicked on ur blog and it’s like empty. and. I’m sorry if I forced u to log in ghghg-#or like make a new burner account. I don’t like having anon on! I’m sorry for the inconvenience tho ghg

for todays wip wednesday i thought it would be kind of fun to do a little wips vs final drafts post just to kind of illustrate how far back first drafts can really start. so following the famous 5+1 fanfic format (4+1 cause u can only post 10 pics on mobile)—four wips (left) & their related final drafts (right) + one that is still a wip (bottom two)
#in the doodle those are supposed to be their eyebrows fyi#this post is just cause we writers like to suck our own dicks sometimes#an anon sent in a follow up ask after my writing advice post talking about little notebooks…#i have gone through three 200 pg notebooks during the drafting of some of this content lol#one 200 pg notebook was basically ONLY slider one shot content#1. the little doodle that led to the cyclone one shot#2. ayrmy…. this doesn’t even count as a 0.5 draft#3. this is not the first attempt at this scene. this big blowup scene went through like a dozen different drafts#& it’s still kind of whatever imo#5. here are my original notes/outline for wwgattai :) it’s all i had to go on for the entire story#the first concrete image for the entire story i had was of mav begging ice to quit smoking#and ice quitting only cause he asked out loud#6. this is the WIP. female mav for a prompt fill. will then lead to of course! lesbian charliemav.#thanks for tolerating all my wip wednesdays :) they’re just kind of fun for me even if nothing makes sense out of context#top gun#top gun maverick#tom iceman kazansky#pete maverick mitchell#icemav#top gun fanfiction#edts notes#btw in the cyclone excerpt epaulettes should be shoulderboards whoops#ignore the weird tag numbers there were originally 6

Are we ever going to get an in-universe explanation as to why Rhea sets a city with civilians still in it on fire at the end of CF, or is it forever going to remain the "devs wrote Rhea doing something evil so the audience wouldn't feel bad about killing the final boss who'd done nothing wrong up to that point, regardless of how grossly out-of-character it is for her to do that" excuse?
:(
I was typing an answer, switched tabs, and what I already typed disappeared...
Anyways...
Watsonian wise, the game iirc tells us Rhea intends to use the "fiery tiles" as hazards to slow down the BESF's progression to rekt them - and I personally find nice how the devs picked peg knights to act as reinforcments - cementing the "strategy" aspect of the Berning, aka Rhea's own troops are immunte to tile hazards, but the BESF isn't.
Doylist wise, I feel like it was one of the moves the devs pulled out to illustrate how far Rhea fell from... well, what she once was.
It's the culmination of her breakdown, her point of no-return : we came from a Rhea who valued Fodlan and its people more than her own survival and who would refuse to sacrifice anyone to ensure her safety to... a Rhea who lost so much (her remaining family), is PTSD'ing hard and was betrayed by Billy and Humanity "again", she snaps and now will sacrifice Fodlan and its people to get a chance of surviving what she perceives as the second act of the genocide of her species.
Forget the "not feeling bad" aspect of this fight anon, because, at least with the Jp audio, every scene involving Rhea, before this fight when she lost Seteth'n'Flayn, is in Tailtean, or even in this fight laments in her battle quotes, conveys, kuddos to Inoue, anguish, desperation and anger.
The BESF pushes her - during the entire length of this short route - to her breaking point, she breaks (but it's not only a furious/angry breakdown!) and Firdhiad Berning is the consequence.
Imo, even if the gapmoe and the Supreme Court tries to act as if the BESF is "in the right" or wonder what's for dinner, the foes are much more humanised/developed/are mourning on screen that, save for some devoted people, I firmly believe Tru Piss wasn't supposed to be seen as a "Good Route", but more like the Tales games sometimes have a "Bad End" path.
The final close-up on Billy's dead eyes after they lost Nirvana is, imo, telling enough - even if gapmoe and the game mechanics + IS' obsession to sell you Supreme Leader as a S material waifu you can romance sort of killed this intent, since you can get your "and they lived happily ever after" ending and marry Supreme Leader.
Tl;Dr : Tru Piss is written in a way that would make anyone (even on a first PT!) feel bad about the people you're trouncing, from Judith crying about Ignatz'n'Leonie's loss of their future, to Hilda sacrifying herself to save someone against her former nature, aka when it comes to do the "right thing" Hilda will do it even if it costs her life, to Faerghus' desperation to defend themselves at the point of willingly make the ultimate sacrifice and turning into demonic beasts and Dimitri's tender scene with Dedue, or Felix and Rodrigue fighting side by side to defend their land (and dying together) - to ultimately, Rhea losing her mind, breaking down as she learns of her kin's fate and relieving her previous PTSD hard, ultimately telling the player that they betrayed the gremlin living in their head (even if game mechanics means that gremlin is the worst mother in the entire series) and ultimately, herself.
If you're not a first PT, but Tru Piss is your last PT and you know about Rhea'n'Billy's backstories... Well.
I don't like the "you made hit you" rhetoric because it fucking sucks and irl is used by scum, and while I don't think the Firdhiad Berning was made to make Rhea look "evil" so you wouldn't feel bad for rekting her... the game painfully reminds the player, each time, that they are the instigators of this war, they are the agressors attacking people who, in this last map, will do anything to defend themselves.
It's ugly but it's the War the BESF, aka the player in Tru Piss, started/supported.
#anon#replies#rhea stuff#this scene in Tru Piss always made me pause a bit#in 2019 i really thought it was to make Rhea look bad so we can have the heroic music killing her#but now after looking at the game and Tru Piss with more consideration#nope it's the final character warping or negative development#Rhea stops being her caring self and will now sacrifice her allies to survive#but it's only in this map#in Tailtean imo she still counted on her allies and relied on them#even if a certain someone doesn't understand what is a pincer attack#idk if Hubert or Supreme Leader supremely gaslight Billy about Rhea BaD she sacrificed the Kingdom#that's debunked by Rhea's own line when she arrived saying she was delayed by the rain or something#if the pincer attack worked the BESF would have been toasted#tfw plot armor means you have to win lol#that's the same thing with Xillia 2 when in the bad end Ludger kills everyone#Milla Muzét Gaius i mean those three all alone it's just nonsensical but when they're helped by their companions?#it works because the plot wants it to work#FE16

[ID: Screenshot of tags which read #Three is out here having a wild crisis #and we don't get to see it in canon because Murderbot decidedly Does Not Want To Think About That Right Now Thanks #imagine what it must be like to care so deeply for someone who you can't show affection to because you don't have free will #and when you finally DO have the free will #those people are already gone #how do you reconcile that? #<-prev why would you write this and put it on the internet for anyone to see. most importantly me #now i'm thinking about it. fuck #the murderbot diaries #mb three #mb artwork #undescribed /end ID]
i knew it. i knew you were out to get me in particular! rude!!!
#(also joking)#anyway congrats on those tags they were devastating <3#asks#not anon#also apologies to the people who sent me asks for the character ask game i rbed the other day#it seemed like such a good idea when i queued it but then in the harsh light of day i was looking at it again and realized#oh god these are hard! i don't know the answers to these!!!#so i may not be answering them after all lol. but i appreciate your selfless effort to help me procrastinate <3

I do think in a long distance scenario, if Bakugou said he'd write/call to you every week then he would commit to that with dedication. And if others try to peek you can see him get riled up depending on how sentimental the letter is lol
don't know the reason why or who u were envisioning being the Far Away one... but thinking about Bakugo being on a long-term mission in his lil sleeping bunker with the rest of his team, holding a flashlight up trying to finish writing his letter to you..........☹️☹️☹️
or on the van that transports them places, the envelope now crumpled up in his chest pocket waiting to be delivered.... OR in enemy hands when he's been—
that wouldn't happen tho, but he's SO CUTE for this. never missing a call or letter even if it's they're a little late. including recaps of all the things that made him think of you, or how he's keeping track of all the days until you're together again; even if his handwriting is sloppy, or it's not said as gently or eloquently as he would've liked (he rushed to get it all down so he wouldn't be bothered by anyone wanting to pester him about you, and they ALWAYS pester him)...
you write him too, though, don't you? and he treasures those letters more than anything, even extra rations. a little stack he keeps underneath his bunk w/ the rest of his paperwork, and reads them whenever he's sad and missing u especially.
(not to make this weird but you send him a couple photos (of you, of the cat, of you and the cat, of his parents, kiri and sero and denki), and he tapes them on the desk where he works or the wall next to where he sleeps so he can look at them all the time WAH)
or you send him a care package or something and his teammates go BANANIS teasing him about it too (out of jealousy). his favorite hot chips and electrolyte drink, cinnamon gum, new soap and socks, a love note, a nude, i'm gonna CRYYYYYY.
#bakugo#and then u reunite and kiss at the airport and his team is AWWW FINALLY#cuz after he complained to u abt how they moaned abt not having nice lovers at home... u made them a care package too LOL#but bakugo keeps all the letters ofc#at the bottom of his desk#maybe u or the kids find them one day#and he's all U BETTER NOT MESS THOSE UP GIMME THEM BACK#but it turns out u kept all his letters too#wow my mds + ja class is f*cking me up im turning into freaking elizabeth bennet LOOOL#genius idea anon i hope this was okay response#i tired#gen#caitie things#anon

hello!!!! i just stumbled upon your carat resource carrd and want to thank you for putting in the effort and time for such a well made and informative library of seventeen content!! i noticed that there are a few songs missing: seungkwan's cover of 'text me merry christmas' w/ AKMU suhyun, and the HHU songs from the diamond edge tour (joker - wonwoo solo, what's the problem, and madness maxed out)
also i think the miss you by sicboy ft. vernon MV is missing from the carrd :)
ahh thank you! i try my best to get everything but sometimes little things slip through the cracks so i appreciate you letting me know! i can't believe i missed some of these lol. these should all be added now!
Music -> Covers -> Text Me Merry Christmas
Music -> Unofficial & Unreleased Songs -> Joker / What's the Problem / Madness Maxed Out
Music -> Collaborations -> Miss You
#melia.ask#anon#i think i missed text me merry christmas before bc i was limiting to covers on svt's channel+spotify and its posted on sehyuns channel#but that was mainly bc finding all the covers svt have done on various variety and performance shows is a lot#and then there's some grey areas like if dance covers count or if they sing like a minute of a song and post it on twt if that counts#and like one day i may expand the covers tab to include that stuff but it's a lot bigger undertaking that will take a lot more research#but i don't mind including text me merry christmas now bc it's still a similar format to the other covers ive linked just a diff channel#also what's funny is iirc hurricane and with me were also from diamond edge and i included those so idk how i missed the hhu stuff lol#don't know how i missed the miss you mv either i think it was in my watch later for a while as a reminder to add the link#and then after a while i probably just assumed i already did it LMAO

I’m not saying that a lot of Regulus fans are only interested in him because they picture him as a Timothee Chalamet insert and wouldn’t give half a fuck about the character if that fancast didn’t exist but… oh wait that is what I’m saying.
yeah i mean. i definitely think there's something in that lol honestly. as ive said before i never really got the interest in regulus i just couldnt care less about the guy he genuinely has zero canon character but. simultaneously i can see how the little that we do know about him makes him an interesting character and i can see why people enjoy the idea of him as a blank slate that you can superimpose nearly any traits you want on to--treating regulus as essentially an oc gives you lots of room for creation. its for these exact reasons that he is of no interest to me personally, and i really don't like the common conceptualisation of him that has emerged from popular headcanon consensus (especially when it involves stripping his character of all agency and half the things that could arguably make him compelling in order to gloss over the fact that he was a death eater) but thats a matter of opinion i suppose. thats a me problem. its just not my cup of tea.
the timothee chalamet thing irritates me for the same reason the ridiculous instagram model/influencer/celebrity fancasts for most characters irritate me, because one of the ONLY things we know about regulus is that he is 'less handsome than sirius'. like ok why not work with that. especially with a character like him where there is virtually nothing to work with. like please explain to me why you refuse to accept that im genuinely curious. why is that the aspect of his character you are so firmly refuting lol.
all in all, if the character is only likeable or interesting or a convincing love interest if you have to pretend they were actually super conventionally attractive, maybe they're just not that likeable or interesting or well-suited to the character you're trying to pair them off with. its a personal thing again i am just not interested in reading/writing about a cast of characters who are all meticulously tailored to conform to beauty standards i do not respect. the minute u try to convince me all your characters are super hot n yassified it all feels less real to me sorry i care less about them. im bored of hot characters i think all fictional characters should be made to look like normal everyday people and i think everyone should be less afraid of so-called ugliness i triple dog dare u
#the 'you' here is just a general vague you btw it is not directed towards any one person and obviously not you anon we're in agreement#and reading it back i fear i may come off a little more aggressive than i intended so psa this is all my opinion like. do what you want#i am not the final word on this issue or any other. i am just a guy no 1 is obligated to listen to me if they dont want to. except about r#anyway remember talking to liv about the whole regulus thing and how. the personality that has been invented for him just seems like#people were bored of r/s they wanted something like r/s but new so they superimposed remus' personality onto him and then added a#few bits of sirius. and this is all me ranting about my opinion mindlessly now but i think#its reflected in those stupid terrible incorrect quote joke posts and how you see one of them where its remus and sirius and then see the#exact same post remade except remus has been changed to regulus and sirius has been changed to james. like yeah because regulus#is just a carbon copy of remus except if he was goth lol. we've done this one before its the same thing#and absolutely regulus can be done well and absolutely i am not a definitive judge of what is 'doing regulus well' just as no one else is#but i think if u want to do regulus well u have to make him less likeable. like he cant be ur soft loveable fav. girl he was a death eater#same as i think the whole barty / evan / regulus / pandora gang is just people refurbing the marauders. same thing different colour#anyway. i feel about regulus the same way i feel about dorcas or mary or marlene. they are not really characters#they dont have any definitive canon traits and i am not really interested in creating ocs. but other people might love that idea!#which is fine!#whew. love it when i get asks about things im scared to talk about of my own accord like i cant get in trouble if you guys asked me first x#anon#telegram#the brothers black#also girls he is a product of generation after generation of inbreeding. the black family should look like the windsors sirius was an#outlier.#oh also sorry i thought i was done but i want to clarify that i am no way saying you cannot be interested in morally grey characters or#find them compelling. instead what i am trying to say is that pretending a morally grey character actually isnt morally grey#in order to justify the fact that you are interested/fond of/compelled by them is boring and a disservice to your fav. hope that makes sens#within what we do know about regulus there are things that make him GOOD but not really anything that makes him likeable. and so much#of popular headcanon seems to be bestowing a ton of likeable traits upon him in order to redeem him despite there being no canon basis 4 it#like. we know regulus was a death eater 'it wasnt his decision he was forced into it!' we know regulus was less handsome than sirius 'no he#wasnt he was also super hot!' do you see what you're doing. you're losing me.

What do you think about the whole Anne wanting the christening robe from Catherine that she brought from Spain?
The Lady, not being satisfied with what she has received already, has solicited the King to ask the Queen for a very rich triumphal cloth which she brought from Spain to wrap up her children with at baptism (en temps de la tesme (?) qu. baptesme?), which she would be glad to make use of very soon. The Queen has replied that it has not pleased God she should be so ill advised as to grant any favor in a case so horrible and abominable.
Chapuys to Charles V. (July 1533)
So, I mean...there's no record of this response, or any letters, that corroborate this incident? And there should ostensibly be a few, right? At the very least the letter requesting it and the letter of refusal.
All that's left, really, is to argue for the likelihood based on what we know.
Against: Anne doesn't seem to have wanted reminders of Catherine around? She didn't like that Henry's shirts were being made for her by that reason, it's theorized she "could not abide the sight" of monkeys because they were Catherine's favorite pets, etc.
Moreoever, the argument Borman has made that this was a symbol of legitimate royal blood, I mean...sure, it definitely was, but it was passed down through the Trasmataras? It seems strange that Anne would request it as seeing her future child as an extension of that dynasty, actually, it makes like...no sense. Had the christening robe been one used by Henry and his siblings, perhaps his mother and theirs, and for some reason Catherine had this in her possession, then it would make sense.
And doubly, the argument Henry was making at this time was that his children by Catherine could not have even be bona fides, because the marriage contravened divine law. So, the christening robe, as far as their perspective would have went, would actually be associated with illegitimacy (since it was used for the children of Henry and Catherine), thus asking for it would be contradictory to the beliefs they espoused, as would the imagery of that symbol.
Since it doesn't make any sense even as far as symbolism goes, if Anne requested it, the gesture could only have come from a place of cruelty and pettiness. There's reports of Anne being petty and cruel, so that does nothing to disprove anything, really. In this vein, Elizabeth Norton states that Anne “spotted an opportunity to continue her persecution of Catherine”.
So, maybe the argument can be made that the request was not even so much a symbol of power and legitimacy, as it was that the robe was said to be very beautiful and Anne thus wanted to use it? With perhaps the added benefit that some of her detractors might recognize it and seethe, Ainsi sera, groigne qui groigne
For: Anne did, if memory serves, take several items from the inventory of Catherine's goods and used them in her household, as did Henry. I have the quote of these items from a biography saved somewhere, I would have to find it, I can't remember if they were sort of more generic, utilitarian objects (gilt pitchers, that sort of thing) or if there were any that displayed Catherine's actual symbols. Either way, this demonstrates that Anne was not that adverse to reminders of Catherine surrounding her, so lends credence to the claim made by Chapuys here.
#the argument generally goes well if she took her JEWELS then#but the jewels were the official jewels of the queens of england#so...of course they were given to anne?#and catherine essentially admitted those at least were not her property but rather the crown's/...so . henry's#by conceding?#so the incident does; if it happened; illustrate the difference between state and personal property. a christening robe passed down to her#by her family...obviously would have been#anon#'henry cringed at her insensitivity and refused to press the matter' lol...borman.#the latter does not prove the former#also yes. henry. famously known for his innate sensitivity to the feelings of others.#fare thee well#god now im getting mixed up with the inventory...i THINK the first wave was just wolsey's?#and then the second was in katherine's lifetime ? and then after her death .#it's all very murky . maybe what i'm remembering if she took some items from wolsey's inventory that had catherine's symbols on them?#or both#sigh. i really need to organize all my research better

I just saw the post on the alt codes you memorized and got so excited bc you are the first other person I heard of who also memorized alt codes! For me, it’s bc I started learning Old Babylonian and there is no keyboard with all the diacritics I needed to transcribe them, so I decided it would be the easiest to make myself an additional vocabulary deck to learn the alt codes (that I needed to create my Babylonian vocabulary deck). How have you memorized your alt codes?
omg that is awesome. i have so many questions for you. what are the babylonian alt codes??? or did you add them yourself? (can you add new alt codes? seems like you should be able to, since it's possible to add keyboard shortcuts, and alt codes are really just a type of keyboard shortcut.) i can see that cuneiform signs are in unicode but i can't find any alt code lists that include them. or are you transliterating babylonian into the latin alphabet with diacritics?
another question did you memorize codes for every single one because holy shit there's like hundreds of cuneiform signs according to wikipedia???? that's wild. i can see why you would need flash cards! me i only know probably fewer than 20 total and i just learned them over the course of several years as they became necessary. it's very hard to write a french sentence without é è à and ç, so i'm sure i learned those first, plus ù which is in one very common word that means something totally different if you leave off the accent (où/ou), then probably i had to learn ê â ô and î. but actually you can get pretty far avoiding the other accented letters in french, so i might have been in college before i learned the rest of them lol. somewhere in there i learned the spanish accented letters, but those are mostly right next to each other and there aren't very many of them, so that was easy. i never learned the capitalized accented letters because it's acceptable in french to leave accents off in uppercase (except the cédille, which i know is somewhere in the 120s so i can get there eventually if necessary). initially i look up the number but then over time it gets encoded into muscle memory as i keep using the letter organically in sentences.
most importantly though: how is the old babylonian is it fun it sounds fun
#let's see i'm going to actually count now#é è à ç ù: 5 extremely necessary french accented letters can't leave home without 'em#ê â ô î: 4 french accented letters that are very handy to have around#û ï: not that important for a beginner. ë: kind of optional?? also not common or important for a beginner. for a total of 3#œ: completely optional and kind of just showing off. didn't learn that until a year or two ago. that's 1 additional#ü: technically not optional but i thought it was dumb so i never learned it???? lol. i had to look up the code just now#because it is not in the 150s with the rest of the u's. it's alt+129...idk why#it is the second accented letter in the alt codes (after Ç and before é)#so not counting ü or Ç that's 13 french letters. then we have the spanish letters á í ó ú ñ Ñ. 6 of those#and the danish letters å æ ø which i'm not sure i should count because i always guess wrong initially and have to try nearby#numbers until i get it lol. but sure let's say 3 of those#for 22 total. which i learned over the course of like 20 years#asks#not anon#diacritics#typography#french#what i should do next is learn the guillemets «». ooh and ¿#maybe the degree sign º. that would come in handy from time to time#and i guess the accented capitals 😩#they're all right next to each other if you go up to the 0190s and 0200s. that's not that bad#thank youuuuu for coming to tell me this it is delightful information. memorizers of alt codes unite!!!#this is like when i found the one other person in the world using the same flip phone that i was using in the 2010s#when that kind of flip phone was extremely old and buggy. we would talk about the idiosyncrasies like which words always#got corrected to other very specific and incorrect words and what would happen if someone tried to send us a link#or a text with a character added to unicode after 2007 <3#we bonded over how our phones always turned 'boob' into 'bomb' and how unfortunate that was in our textual correspondence#with people who did not have that problem
