it hit me again yesterday- literally as i was about to fall asleep- how stupidly cute it is that marisha as beau randomly burst out "i could be her beacon [that guides her home]" all awkward and earnest about jester, for then one campaign later, finally, laura as imogen come back to her with "you're my tether, laudna. sometimes i feel like i’m about to float away, but as long as you’re there" and i just think that's beautiful and another reminder of how in so many ways CR continues to be endless love letters from the cast to each other.
when you mentioned in your tags that there was hardly any laughingstock i didn't believe you at first, but holy shit ur right. YOU AND @krasytoonz MADE ME INTO A LAUGHINGSTOCK BELIEVER. I WILL PAY TRIBUTE TO THESE SKRUNGLY FUCKERS SOON, MARK MY WORDS *shakes fist into the void*
no yeah Seriously though its just us out here, fighting for our lives in the fucking Trenches. in ten years someone is gonna use the word 'laughingstock' casually in conversation and im gonna have War Flashbacks
More mystreet posting .. moots i fear i’m reverting to my old 2017 Aphmau fan account ways plz forgive me………
Anyways .. Ik that Garroth was canonically aware of his charm and was known to be very charismatic + outgoing, but idk!! I think it’d be cute if during his middle school + first few years of high school, he was socially awkward kinda like his MCD counterpart 😭 Like that’s one of the only traits that carried over from his MCD self
I also like to think that Katelyn (since they were friends in PDH iirc) and Laurance kinda helped him get out of his shell and become more confident !
Imagining freshman Garroth feeling super flustered from all the attention he was getting from other people at his school, all while Katelyn and Laurance are watching and giggling & then tease him about it later 💀💀
I don’t think he’d be like.. PDH Travis and Aphmau kind of shy, though. They were the type of shy where they stuttered pretty often and kinda like tripped over their words, or they would mumble, but I don’t see Garroth ever being like that. I think it’s just like… he’s a little awkward? He knows how to speak to people a little bit, I just imagine he’d get a little nervous when carrying on a conversation and then kinda shy away after a while & that he doesn’t really know how handle A LOT of positive attention from a lot of people around his age OR people older than him
Literally it’s like :
The girls at school compliment his appearance and his voice -> Garroth: “Haha (awkward)… Thank you… (the attention makes his palms sweaty + the attention is making him uncomfortable, so he tries to leave)”
Teachers compliment him in front of all his classmates -> Garroth: “Thanks… (awkward + uncomfortable w/ the attention from both his teacher and his peers, so he just looks down at his textbook until he thinks it’s okay to look back up again)”
Then imagining Laurance helping him become less shy.. helping him talk to people (girls, in particular) and learning how to make friends easier, giving him advice .., telling Garroth that he’s naturally charming and endearing, so people will like him a lot , saying that even he would fall for Garroth because he’s “pretty good looking” and “a really sweet guy”, And Garroth gets EXTREMELYYY flustered after hearing that .. (Avg. Garroth response: “Ah… Haha… Thank you, man. It – um… It means a lot. 🙂 (awkward smile that looks pained a little bit kinda)” -> Laurance response: “😭 You gotta get better at taking compliments, man!”
Omg … Katelyn also giving him advice, but she mainly helped by getting him on the baseball team ! She heard that he was interested and introduced him to the captain and the team members.. and she helps him talk to them, so he could make more friends !! I can imagine her sitting on the bleachers and watching Garroth fail at conversing and literally just being like “There is no way.” So, she has to step in and help him 💀
Also imagining in my head that Garroth goes home everyday and practices so he could impress Katelyn and Laurance. And then literally rehearsing what he’ll say to people a bunch of times in his head before he actually talks to them.
I think by the time he got to Senior year he mostly grew out of being shy, but sometimes he still has his moments 😭
And then, later when they’re all actually Living on Mystreet, when they’re all hanging out -> Katelyn is like: “Oh my Irene, do you remember how awkward Garroth was during, like, the first year or two of high school??” -> Laurance:“Oh wait! Yeah! Wow… who would’ve thought he would’ve turned out like this?” -> and all Garroth can do is laugh awkwardly while they reminisce and tease him abt it 💀💀💀💀
i have so many more garroth headcanons in my brain like omg .. the blond cube guy from the Minecraft roleplay I liked when I was like 12 is taking over my brain yet again……….
all of my akihona dreams have come true... honami was so so so so so nice to akito it made me wanna cry. so badly. she clocked his fear of dogs 0.0000000001 seconds after meeting him and then when he ended up volunteering to take an acquaintance's place at the disc dog tournament because he hurt himself, she immediately offered to help him with the guy's dog, max. because obviously he's scared shitless of him :') but he also really wants to try to face his fear a little...
because seeing a dog running towards him freaks him out reallyyyyyyy badly he was kind of having a hard time tho. throwing the disc for max to go catch was easy but when he started running to come give it back to him..... so honami decided they should start smaller and walked him through trying to just pet max. very gently and patiently and i can't help but imagine that she was holding his hand throughout. he only got as far as letting max sniff him that first time but!!!! a little later!!!! after max blocks samo-chan from bowling him over when one of minori's disc throws went awry (which i'm choosing to believe he did On Purpose - he wasn't just chasing after the disc too . he was shown to be a Very aware, attentive, and well-behaved dog so i think it's very likely that he knew how scared akito was. he sat so patiently and still during the failed first attempt to pet him after all) !!!! akito finally managed to pet him!!!!!!!!!! he pet a dog!!!!!!!!!! for the first time in his life! his hands were shaking and he was scared but he pet him!!!!! (and back to the idea of max understanding his fear: i think he was really excited to finally get some pets from akito but tried really really really hard to stay still and calm so he didn't scare him more [yknow that little taptap dance dogs will do with their front paws when they're trying to be good and stay sitting still and their tails are wagging like crazy...yeah like that])
he's still super scared of dogs but he's a lot less afraid of max specifically... he did it.!!!! he made his first doggy friend ever!!!!!! and i think he would've had a muuuuuuch harder time without honami (and minori and rui but i've been waiting for him to meet honami for 500 years so you'll excuse me if i focus on that)
Forte playing with his work bestie, a Dutch x ACD mix, Mirri.
It's really cute watching their play evolve. In the beginning they'd only play chase because that's what Faye allows at home. When Mirri would try to engage him in wrestling he'd just stand there. Over multiple play sessions she's finally gotten him to play bitey/wrestling games. She play bites him and he shows her his teeth and puts his chin on her. But he's still not sure he's allowed to put his mouth on her.
Forte is a very polite player who very much errs on the side of caution, lots of loose and bouncy body language. He also handicaps himself in play since the dog he is most familiar with, Faye, is significantly smaller than himself. He tries so hard to take his cues from his playmate and not offend.
Watching their play grow and them get more comfortable and confident with each other is so sweet.
[ID: 2 digital drawings of Qiu Lin from Our Life: Now & Forever. The drawings have Qiu sitting down, cross legged and putting both their hands on their cheeks. The design used was a Step 2 design with the longer hair version. They are looking to the left and pouting. They are wearing some orange lipstick.
The image on the left has Qiu in a blue, frilly dress. The top part of the dress is a dark blue with the skirt part progressively becoming a lighter blue per skirt layer. The background goes from a dark blue to a lighter blue.
The image on the right has Qiu in a yellow, orange and red, frilly dress. The top part of the dress is a pale yellow with the skirt part progressively going from a pale orange to a reddish orange per skirt layer. The background goes from a pale yellow to a brighter yellow.
Both drawings have the genderfluid flag surrounding Qiu.]
I was down for the count for a while, but I'm finally slowly reintegrating myself into society again lol. Connecting back to my spirituality and major parts of my life, etc. etc. and part of that has, weirdly enough, been going back to playing... a specific video game. I know but hear me out- sky COTL is one of my favorite games, a daily task of mine, and I wasn't doing it while I had COVID (just letting my friend drag me through dailies like a sack of potatoes.)
So today I spent like five hours in the little meditation island area that's going away today (so glad it's going to become permanent in the future!) because I knew that when I left it'd be gone and I wanted to take photos. And, while I didn't really feel his presence at the time because I'm feeling disconnected at the moment, I.... feel now as though the reason I like this photoset is because of Apollo. Maybe Loki, too. Something about taking these pictures, even in a game, felt very sacred and it's immediately become my favorite in-game photos I've taken.
So, I guess this is considered an offering to whichever of my deities wants it, have a bunch of photos of my skykid dancing in the sunset :D
I might post more sky cotl photos sometime, it holds a special place in my heart. Plus, photography is something I've always loved and wish I could do- but going out and taking photos of beautiful scenery, of people that I have to direct and ask to pose certain ways, etc, isn't accessible to me. So instead I take photos in sky and it connects me to a part of myself I don't often get to tap into. ^^
s1 luz was at least a little bit gay for willow i will not be told otherwise
idk if it was a full on crush but it was at least one of those types of nebulous not-quite-romantic not-quite-platonic "hahaha, unless..." type friendships that a lot of queer teens have, u know the ones
