A propos de Fusil de sch…

J’voulais écrire e un rant à propos de mon interprétation de fusil(décès de son amie) mais à ce qu’il parait elle as été calculé 50/50 avec l’interprétation la plus connue de la chanson (son histoire de rupture)

Mais y’a un truc qui me fâche c’est que la raison pour laquelle j’voulais écrire ce rant ce que je savais pas que mon interprétation était vrai tellement qu’elle est oublié et je voulais mettre la lumière dessus justement. Et j’trouve ça dommage qu’on l’oublie (c’est pour ça que je l’écris un peu abrégé) parce que dans une interview Booska-P il dit literallement que Fusil c’est une façon de relié la vie et la mort. Les deux doivent aller ensemble. JE VEUX QUE LES DEUX PARTIES SOIENT RECONNUES!!!

Pour finir sa Genius annotation de il y’a 8 ans qui m’a déchiré le cœur </3

Would go crazy over any q!phil hc's, but may I request some about phil's harem I mean qsmp server polycule?

OHOHOHOHO YOU'RE INDULGING MY STUPID SILLY HAREM. YESSS.

Previous qPhil Headcanons

SO ANYWAY. QPHIL AND HIS INNATE TALENT FOR PULLING BAD BITCHES ON ACCIDENT.

Reiterating initial mentions of this for context:

--He's married to the Goddess of Death (Kristin) and Missa (a reaper). He's also fuckbuddies with Fit (no one can look at their interactions & tell me there's no homo there) and Etoiles. Strictly fuckbuddies; Fit has something blooming with Pac, and Etoiles is aromantic. --Everyone who Knows(tm) about the polycule has turned calling it a harem into an inside joke they only reference when Phil either isn't around or isn't paying attention enough to be like WHAT. --In fact, it's unfolded into a sort of joke folklore around Phil made up by the islanders closest to him that he has this inexplicable charm to him that makes any man-attracted person weak in the knees. (Baghera totally started it. Cellbit, Foolish, & Fit perpetuated it & it spread from there) --All this fruity silliness in mind, I have no fucking clue what queer label I'd slap on Phil, if one at all. Part of me wants to claim him as pansexual bc I'm Pansexual So Therefore So Is My Cubito + the way he'd explain how he experiences romantic & sexual attraction is exactly what I described *my* exp as in high school and my friend was like "yeah that's pansexual." But I also feel like Phil's the kind of guy to purposely not define his sexuality & remain an enigma both as a "mind your business" & a "It's Funny To Not Elaborate" thing. (As of rn I'm rolling with "he's pansexual but in a font you've never seen before")

S O

Obv Mrs. Goddess of Death Kristin came first, she's been with him since long before Quesadilla Island. Strangely enough, she can't recall too much prior to the island just like Phil, but there's no way the Feds know she exists let alone know how to fuck up the memory of a deity. But yeah, she was his first & is his ONLY romantic dynamic within his weird polycule

She's an avid fan of Phil being his best unintentional whore self with them nice ass shoulders on display all the time and that accidental man magnet charm. Loves watching him pull bitches nonstop without even realizing. And loves watching him be a total fruity dork with his besties. She knows if Phil was forced to choose ONE person out of the polycule to be monogamous with forever, he'd pick her. She's not worried at all about his yaoi island adventures

Next came Fit. Hough, what a man. They WERE, until recently, strictly fwb. They fucked nasty behind that gym and I'll die on that hill. The way they talk to each other sometimes? Big boy?? FitMC people are watching?? They fucked behind that gym. Their fwb was called off as soon as Fit got serious with Pac though. Phil was totally chill with it & actively encouraged it. He loves seeing Fit so invested in the romance he's got blooming. They're still more than friends, not lovers, but a secret third thing, the sexual aspect was just removed from the equation. Truly the most QPR of the polycule

Then came Missa. Oh Missa. Their dynamic IS platonic like Phil has stated & restated countless times, but Missa has a (not yet brought to Phil's attention) massive romantic crush on him. He hasn't spoken up yet to keep their relationship from getting rocky at all. But tbh that prob won't happen. They're platonic in the Kiss The Homies way. So what if they make out sometimes and are husbands? So what if they go on adventures that could be considered dates by some? They aren't a romantic relationship, even if Missa secretly kinda wants to be.

And finally, aromantic king Etoiles joined the fray. He and Phil started out as friends and that has Barely changed if at all, but sparring matches get a little too homoerotic sometimes and neither of them can resist the other when they're popping off extra hard. Things have. Escalated a few times. If yknow what I mean. Of all Phil's harem members polycule partners, he & Etoiles have absolutely ZERO emotional investment in the Spicy(tm) things they do together. It's simply a very intimate way of showing each other their respect & admiration for the other. What they have going on is a "*spanks you* good game, let's hit the showers team" kinda deal. They're the type of mfs to finish in bed then shake hands like "gg." Casual sex is >>>> to these two, but it happens waaay less between them than it did Phil & Fit, Fitza was habitual. Codebreakers is a once in a while thing

Btw once Fitpac gets more stable together and whatnot, Fitza could potentially reignite with Pac's consent. That's the key to healthy poly, all parties are informed & consenting. Pac would be like. An honorary harem member. He & Phil would have absolutely 0 intimate relations, they're strictly friends in the most basic sense of the word. They just also fuck the same guy (& would totally talk about it together if alone)

Phil sometimes tries to gauge if Missa only likes men or if he likes women too. If he does, he's going to ask if he'd like to hear about his lord & savior, Big Woman(tm).

Etoiles has 100% asked Phil who fucks the best out of the polycule bc like everything else, it's a competition & he Must win, he Must have the best dick game. This amuses Phil very much

*incoherent but clearly passionate noises about how Phil hasn't done anything spicy with any of the polycule in a hot second because of Ender King Situation stress*

GOD he wants to open up to them about it so bad. Like yeah he did w Fit that one time but he didn't go into detail and hasn't said anything since and bc Phil is an idiot that feels guilty easily, he doesn't want to tell Fit more atm bc he doesn't want to dampen Fit's high spirits or take away his time with Pac

OK BUT CONSIDER: POLYCULE GROUP EFFORT TO GET THROUGH TO ENDER KING POSSESSED PHIL AND HELP HIM FIGHT OFF EK'S INFLUENCE. OUGH.

Phil attracted all four partners with his raw skill and talent btw. If you even care. Literally was just going about his business being himself and it bagged him three dudes in addition to the literal goddess he already had

Although his feelings are platonic, Phil is attracted to Missa because Missa is a) the other father of his children and b) such a genuine and sweet person. And funny, even if a lot of the times the reason he's funny is bc he's like 2 seconds from having a stroke over whatever shit he missed hitting the fan this time

Phil is attracted to Fit bc. Well. That's FitMC of 2b2t, baby. Raw skill and talent sees raw skill and talent. Fellow anarchist. Also muscles. And that razor sharp stare. Fit's just dreamy as hell ok, let a man drool a little

Phil is attracted to Etoiles the same way he's attracted to Fit, HOWEVER, the reasoning is different. Etoiles has raw skill and talent, but it's the way he wields it and demonstrates it that makes Phil wanna act up. Also Etoiles is fucking hilarious. Who can resist a good sense of humor? Those dramatics make Phil swoon

[applestorms]

FUCK IT. DEATH NOTE CLASSPECTING. GO:

LIGHT: prince of light. both class and aspect are non-negotiable here. moon-wise i’m actually inclined to assign him derse, if only cause of the whole “accessing the powers of dark gods” thing (guess that makes ryuk a horrorterror? hmm), though prospit would probably fit better personality-wise.

L: prince of void. i’m quite confident in the aspect for this one, though the class is a little more iffy. having them both be princes feels oddly fitting though so let’s run with it. moon-wise i’d actually like to give him prospit, mostly just to be complementary to light, but also cuz it’s funny to imagine him cloud-watching in the piss pjs.

MISA: page of doom. i’m quite proud of this assignment actually, i think it fits quite well w/ her whole thing in canon about being loved by death (though here the terminology would be more like “served by doom”). prospit dreamer for sure probably maybe, to be honest i have no fucking idea how dream moon assignment works? fuck it, i’m giving up on that from here onward.

MATSUDA: knight of hope. again, less certain on class, but i think it’s very sweet if he’s a hope player <33 esp since his Belief in light lasts (almost) the whole series…

MELLO: thief of light. making him & light both light players is fucking hilarious to me so we’re rolling with that. also assigning him thief is making me think of vriska parallels now which is vaguely horrifying to consider but he did kidnap sayu and kiyomi so let’s move on quickly now.

NEAR: heir of void. take a wild guess who he’s inheriting that void from, fellas. this one kind of breaks my heart to think about, which i think is a good sign that it fits well. not much else to say, i’ve had this one pretty cemented since one of my earlier astronaut rambles on near, so…

MATT: knight of breath. as we all know, this bitch only shows up for like 2 seconds so there’s probably a lot of room to consider other options here. i just kinda like how this reflects his role in helping mello + being a pretty chill, laid back dude most times we see him, but i’m certainly open to other takes for this one in particular.

NAOMI: sylph of mind. this is incredibly vibes-based. she’s got that interesting mix of brutality paired with loving motherhood-esque associations that feels very sylphy/kanaya to me, plus an analytical approach that feels fitting of a mind player.

BEYOND: heir of heart. there’s a lot of aspects that could fit beyond, honestly— blood, rage, doom, and time are all other considerations that could easily work as well. i just like heart for how he mimics L, and heir makes an interesting connection between him and near, though i considered mage too. also heart to match naomi’s mind etc. etc. (you may notice i’m quite partial to good connections/pairings like that, even if it doesn’t fit the individual perfectly— classpecting is just as much a social thing as a personality test, in my mind. but i digress.)

KIYOMI: maid of life. i haven’t essay posted about kiyomi much but this one seems kinda fitting, though she perhaps interprets this title in a slightly different way than jane. someone go angst about kiyomi a little more so i can get a clearer read on her. life is also to match misa’s doom, as well as…

MIKAMI: knight of doom. i’m kinda hesitant to have two doom players on this list since they’re supposedly somewhat rare, but really, what else would fit for mikami? serving light his doom is basically his most notable action in the story, ultimately. guess it makes sense that DN would have a lot of doom about it, or at least it seems more like a doom series than, like, a rage series. in my humble correct opinion.

SOICHIRO: knight of blood. one final one where i’m more confident in the aspect than the class, but i think this one ultimately works— albeit in a very different way from karkat, ofc ahhakdjf. he serves his family, he works for the benefit of People. the tired dedication of blood just feels very soichiro all around.

[bartholomew-junior]

23 25 26... hmm. maybe sips ANd erina And gothi (unless you dont feel like that feel free to just choose one of them cause. 6 entire different answers to think) <3<3

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE thank u circular 4 ur boon of kindness. it is appreciated. apologies for the wait, as i had to let the ideas for this ripen be4 properly answering. i’m gonna start the first ask off with gothi from ep.10.

first of all, i just love her mask and am permanently sad that she never gets to wear it again. bonus for foreshadowing face reveal a few episodes down the line and making her an incredibly ominous cryptid like presence kind of. i just think she’s neat. next is erina in ep.32:

honestly i was really tempted to use a frame from when she was xanu possessed cuz it looked real fuckin cool, but i think this one’s more meaningful. she’s sympathizing with sips for once instead of trying to one up him (at least after a bit) and realizing how tough shit must’ve been for him. agh they make me insane. next is sips from ep.15:

from right after he ate bou claire’s heart. the buildup narration to him looking into the mirror is, ,, agghhh. the fact this was used to promo merch is funny also.

now for q. 25: technically, my first impression of gothi was her getting sips to do karaoke while drunk (lol) and that being the catalyst for EVERYTHING (this campaign is the equivalent of a snowball rolling down a hill). but now, it was her kind of managing and trying to quell sips’ anger best she could along with erina.

erina was just a memelord to me lol. sips wasn’t in the best condition the first few episodes, so my first impression was just that he was a bottomless pit of rage. now looking at the early episodes feels like looking at alpha minecraft in comparison to 1.21, especially without xanu or abby. sneeze was just a little guy.

ok freebie question time. i’m gonna pick q. 22 even tho there hasn’t been a new fic at all on ao3 since i updated my own fic (which makes sense considering we’ve kinda already met the goal of the series even if there’s a lot of stuff on the horizon). and i’ll pick all 3 of them + xanu for this cuz. why not

sips: a lot of the fics on ao3 4 this fandom are oneshots, so there isn’t much they’re able to explore if they’re low word counts, but my dream sips-centric fic would be like. a collection of missed/deleted scenes from his early life and time in ammurin with a kind of dream/void/death motif. bonus points if he’s trans

erina: i haven’t seen ANYTHING about her early life in kylandria being the child of busy royal entertainers, hell even her weapons are like a carnival trick, so i’d really like to see a bit of early life stuff again. are you sensing a trend. also her just dealing with royalty is fun and i have many ideas

gothi: early life again. listen she was a whole ass princess who was allowed to exist only because of her rank she was under so much pressure all of the time, especially with being buddies with xanu. did she ever talk to another defective foreclaimer. who are her parents. did they love her. ugh. also, seeing her interact with vicky is something i haven’t really seen before, so that’d be fun.

xanu: listen. i feel like he’d be the hermit on the high mountain type never interacting with anyone like thanos after killing half the universe. also, i feel like a lot of aspects of his character get discarded in favor of making him easier to digest and write, which i’ve done, and this does not do him any service. i think making all the fools gold cast kind of,, mlp headcanon designified is also fun and i want to do it. also bonus vicky

in conclusion: thank u circular <3333333 :]] :), i hope this isn’t miserably long. i’ve been all worded out for the day. do u ever think abt how vicky and sips are parallels and

[thecoolerliauditore]

I've only seen Scar's episode so far, but I dont think i liked this one. Like the food wild card was beatable, but the snails just feel anti-gameplay. And the deaths didn't feel impactful because there were so many and they weren't because of the other players. It feels like the worst aspects of limited life and secret life again. Maybe im too critical but im just kinda disappointed

wasn't gonna answer this one cus I felt like I'd already made one too many hater posts for an episode I really didn't hate all that much but the dash is also talking about this and. yeah.

i think "intrusive" is a good word to use.

In all fairness I do think the unbalanced-ness of it and it demolishing player agency the way it did weren't exactly purposeful. I hate making statements like I can read CC's minds but I do think it is saying something that the session ended as quickly as it did and in nearly all of the POVs I watched there was at least one person half-joking about ending the session early (or just straight up logging out) before it actually happened. Like I don't want to say the CCs were actively aware the mechanic had gone wrong but I do think it's saying something that Bdubs ended his episode chanting for the session to end lol.

In that sense I really think any criticism I or anyone else could have for the gameplay side of the mechanic is relatively useless. I think the CCs are fairly aware this one didn't exactly go as planned. Doesn't stop me from bitching about it on my blog tho.

As for the game-show-ification of the life series (which you didn't mention directly anon but I've seen this sentiment attached to posts about the mechanic a lot and "worst aspects of limited life and secret life" echoes it enough) I do agree However like I mentioned before I think we do have to keep in mind that Grian is making a youtube series first things first. And while I and alot of people are not the biggest fans of the BIGGER ! FLASHIER ! MINI-GAME-ER ! direction the series has taken that's more or less the logical way to go when it comes to youtube.

I love last life. I would love to see a last life 2. but I don't know if the 13 year olds this series is geared towards are looking forward to last life 2. (<-- plus I do think people overestimate a little bit just how entertaining watching the CCs play with the same mechanics again would be now that they have established dynamics and knowledge of how the mechanic works. If they just did the same ruleset over and over I guarantee you it would've gone in the more sweaty, powergamer-y direction than the silly haha funny snails direction which would've also felt alienating)

For what it is I'm still enjoying the series, so clearly they're doing something right. And I don't feel like I'm in a position where I can tell them to do their jobs. It's just that. sighs. I wish Gem was introduced in LL man I really wish she was.

[tealmoth]

also "darkfic au that got out of control" is such a funny description to me 😭 im curious as to why you think so personally i thought it was pretty balanced in heavy and lighthearted moments and considering the themes like the effects of imperialism i dont see why it wouldnt be handled as such. havent watched in a while tho idk

oooohh okay so this’ll be a fun thing to answer because i’ve been desperate to ramble about ‘03 plot points to anyone who will listen all week. so for me, honestly, the darkfic vibes come more from how deeply it dredges into the dark aspects, if that makes any sense?? most of what’s “dark” in ‘03 already exists and is explored in brotherhood, like the imperialism aspects as you mentioned, as well as grief and trauma and everything else that comes prepackaged with fma’s core story. but brotherhood handled these in a very shonen way (which is to be expected, of course). the darkness pushes the characters forward, makes them fight on. even when they’re at the brink, they’re called back by a loved one, or by their own convictions, and it retains an overall positive feel.

meanwhile in ‘03, i get the specific vibe that the writers looked at the story they already had, and asked themselves “how can this be worse??”

(inserting a read more because i’m about to go on a MASSIVE tangent, sorry.)

and so, here are some of the specific darker aspects that stood out the most to me:

the build-up to nina is given far more screentime and its place in the timeline is totally different. not only are the elrics so much younger here, but they’re also essentially a part of the tucker family for the better part of several months iirc. they also witness the direct aftermath of her death at the hands of scar (which is also implied to be FAR more gruesome here), whereas in brotherhood they find out from riza the morning after it happens.

there’s the whole barry ordeal which afaik doesn’t serve much purpose other than it, well, being kinda neat to see pre-armor barry. and i could totally be misremembering here and/or missing something important but the whole episode just stands out to me as “hey, i don’t think that ed’s had enough trauma yet. let’s sprinkle in some attempted murder.”

everything with the laboratory, holy shit. tucker’s reappearance, the attempts at recreating nina, the prisoners, everything with kimblee, the way ed almost activates the array, ALL OF IT is insane in this version.

al’s doubts about his memories and his origins is a longer arc and leads to more conflict with ed in this version.

mustang and winry’s parents. mustang’s suicide attempt. everything with mustang that’s not comic relief (which there’s still plenty of).

as stated in the tags of my first ‘03 post, the utilization of rose’s character is a really intense departure (while interesting!!) that completely took me aback.

the entirely different lore surrounding the homunculi is both incredibly fascinating and a lot to take in, and it leads to them being far more mentally vulnerable and tormented characters than they are in brotherhood. the contrast alone between the development greed gets in brotherhood (using him as an example since he effectively has the most character growth out of the homunculi there) and the development that lust, wrath, and sloth get in ‘03 stands out the most to me.

sloth in general. it’s a wildly fascinating take and, in addition to REALLY hammering in the themes surrounding their mother’s transmutation, also stands to provide even more trauma for the elrics.

and on that subject, the adults are far less present for the boys in this version. that’s not to say that they’re like “parents” or anything in brotherhood, but they’re a lot more openly concerned for them in a personal, affectionate way in that show. whereas here, especially in the early segments, i’m pretty sure that ed could have died in a ditch somewhere and they wouldn’t have noticed for at least a week.

scar’s characterization is more vulnerable here and both his death and the events leading up to it are insane.

and that’s not even getting into everything with dante, which deserves its own post.

with all that said, i’m also not even done with this show yet. i still have four eps left!!

but, all rambling aside, that’s what specifically gave me the darkfic sort of vibe. not to demean the show or reduce it to fanfic terms, or anything; it’s still very interesting and competent writing. but it just gives me so much whiplash when compared to brotherhood’s overarching feelings of hope and the ability to fight back and change the future for the better. it feels soul-nourishing to me, in a way. meanwhile, ‘03 is like a cavalcade of trauma, all provoked by the question “you know what’d be really fucked up??”

[morangoowada]

Umm what’s a talent swap with Mondo that you’d find interesting? Or what are some aspects of Mondo’s character you wish were explored more in canon?

OHH talent swaps are very interesting!! I remember one time I tried drawing Mondo with a lot of different talents but I never finished them... Look there's so much potential in different talents, but to be honest I've never seen Mondo as Ultimate Fashionista before, WHERE IS MY MONDO FASHIONISTA??? ANOTHER FUNNY ONE WOULD BE MONDO WITH HIFUMI'S TALENT OQBDOJDODJDK Just imagine weeb Mondo reading Jojo

I'm going to answer the other part too because I found it interesting. We only got to see Monokuma's explanation about what happened with Daiya, and if Junko knows about that, then maybe Mondo told the class about it while they were classmates in Hope's Peak?? And if he really told them about all of that, did he do it because he felt comfortable to do so? I kinda wish we could see how MONDO would explain the situation instead of Monokuma I wanted to see what Mondo really thinks about the situation, I know he feels guilty over Daiya's death and truly believes it was his fault, but does he also think it would be better if Daiya was the one who made it out alive?? AAAAAA I JUST WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MONDO'S VULNERABLE SIDE!! I WANTED TO SEE HIM TALKING BECAUSE HE FELT COMFORTABLE TO DO SO INSTEAD OF BEING UNDER PRESSURE AND EVEN HAVING TO ENDURE PEOPLE TREATING HIM LIKE SOME "COLD BLOODED KILLER".... I love Mondo so much I wish I could see him really getting better at his life and growing 🙏🏽 sorry if this doesn't even make any sense I just love Mondo too much

[ruthlesslistener]

I know suicide is the most likely option but I'm a big fan of the idea that PK died via void poisoning. Like I know he was probably smart enough to not let it hurt him in canon but god I find it so funny. Kinda links back to how IRL people desperate to create weapons via radioactive materials often died instead.

AHH I don't know, people characterise pk as a coward (he is) and I worry that people are going with the suicide route because they view it as the cowardly way out. I know people don't intend it that way and I don't intend to accuse anyone of doing so, suicide is just a sore spot for me so it's just a case of personal taste.

I also enjoy interpretations of the shades coming to drag him out of the world of the living. Kinda reminds of a story I read when I was little about a man being pecked to death by a swarm of crows. Get fucked by the consequences old man.

Anyways you know more about PK than I do, to what extent do you believe he practiced lab safety?

I mean, I can certainly see PK being poisoned by the void, but the main reason why I don't think it killed him is because a.) The area around his throne is completely devoid of void, b.) The void close to the throne room is from fallen kingsmoulds, which is inert after they lose shape, c.) The White Palace requires an awoken Dreamnail to enter it to access his hiding place, which we know no other vessels have access to before Ghost, and d.) The Void Sea was unawakened before Ghost entered, and so could not act for itself. There's just no canonical way that PK could have been killed by the void apart from poisoning built-up from exposure, but we see no evidence of that either.

That isn't to say that I'm not fond of the idea of him being void poisoned, however! It's something that I love to play with in my fics, and that I utilize heavily in Until Dawn Shall Break. I think that he took all the precautions necessary when working with void, but since void is an aspect heavily associated with the manifestation of regret, it ended up building up within him despite all his precautions. He was poisoned by his own actions and his own pain building up within him without acknowledging it, and it tainted him and affected every other aspect of his life, even if he didn't intend it (i hc that hornet has a black carapace bc the void affected his genetics, like radiation poisoning). It won't kill him, he's too strong for that, but it sickens him and leaves its taint on others around him

I also never consider suicide to be cowardly, jsyk! I call PK a coward for not facing the Radiance directly, but PK is a creature of logic first and foremost, so it's very likely that he genuinely was incapable of fighting the Radiance without using the void. The reason why I hc him to have committed suicide was because the sheer amount of guilt and pain he felt at the vessel plan being all for naught + losing Hallownest would have been absolutely devestating to him, and that paired with the hc I have of him placing all self-worth into his use as the King of Hallownest means that suicide would have been a form of 'justice' in his eyes- he failed, his worth became moot, he did unmentionable things that he would execute any other being for, and so he ceased to be. It also prevented the Radiance from taking his life in battle and mutilating his corpse, too, so it was a sort of final 'fuck you' to her. Can't win the game if you haven't captured the king.

But yeah overall I see PK's suicide as another aspect of the tragedy of the story- he loved so much, but he thought in extremes, with black-and-white thinking that had rigid rules that could not bend, only break. He loved so much that it killed him, and it killed all his loved ones as well.

I saw your recent ask, when someone mentioned that they always attract the same type of guy with daddy issues and I think it's so true that we date different versions of the same type of person, I.e. dating guys that all have similar characteristics that manifest in different ways.

My 7th house is in Sagittarius with Pluto in the 7th. I also have Capricorn Juno. The common issue that always seems to manifest with guys that I'm interested in is that there's always some sort of separation and rebirth that takes place...

I'm more forward and confrontational(Leo Mars), so I take action towards the guys that I like and pursue them, but work or their own self esteem issues(saturn) always seem to get in the way and that causes me to stop pursuing them.

Then finallyyy when we are in separation, they develop feelings for me and always come back, which is interesting(it's prob the death and rebirth energy of pluto). Also, most of the guys I date are a bit older(I'm talking 1-3 years) or either wiser or more experienced than I am. It's funny how situations can manifest in astrology

Hi!

Yes, totally I stand by that, we attract different versions of the same traits astrologically speaking!

For example, let's look at real life examples, I have been attracted to different people, like Cancer Sun, Aries Sun, Aquarius Sun right? But each of this guys had either Sun in the 11th house, Sun Uranus aspect, Sun at an Aquarius (11, 23) degree, it has always been some Uranus influence.

So I kinda believe we really don't attract that different people unless we really work on our own traits first in order to attract better quality partners, there is no such thing as a new, fresh, different person, if you look at it from point of astrology.

Damn, fellow Leo Mars sister, I only have Mars at a Leo degree (17 degree), but I'm so with you on this one, I can relate, I was always to be really straight-forward with guys and let my intentions known.

Yes, could be your Pluto in the 7th house (by the way you really decoded that well!), but I would also say it's Mars aspect to Saturn. Your guys probably realize feelings for you later than you, so they have a delayed reaction.

Girlll, I see it now. You have Capricorn Juno, this gives such karmic spouse energy, and it's the same for committed partnerships. Yes, this is likely to happen to you often throughout whole life, but it gets stable after first Saturn Return, so after the age of 30. You are a late bloomer and like to take time, but I would dare to say it only appears like that, that they are more mature and experienced than you are. Probably is not lol, if they are dating younger. It kinda appears to you, because they are not older in age, but seem to have more life experiences.

I was so nice to talk to you!

@astroismypassion

[surveillance-0011]

It’s been a while since I’ve tboi posted and I’ve def said this before but I like how the horsemen r like that . Such simple designs but they get across just the right vibe

There’s a sort of innocence in it. Isaac’s interpretation of the bringers of everyone’s doom is a couple of silly kinda gross/nasty guys that ride on toy horses that laugh and cheer when they see each other beat up babies. And sometimes cry when their horsies r taken away.

But they also have that same odd-kilter edge of grossness and morbidity. They’re not just a skinny one, a sick one an angry one and a skeleton; they’re corpses (debatable in War’s case, the redness could also read as burns and heavy scarring or exposed skin). Famine and Pestilence are decomposing. Every horse is as worse for wear as its owner. And theyre all legitimate threats, if not on a typical run then in the final confrontation for sure. There’s also their theme, how it changes to fit them all, its sophistication as Death enters the fray.

Death is a skeleton alone. It’s a universal symbol, but he’s exactly what he should be, a way to show death as an equalizer and a truth isaac must face. He doesn’t need to be flashy or a new twist. He works. And he’s funny.

But the mix just goes to show that for his odd taste and better-than-average knowledge of the Bible, Isaac is still a little kid. One who had the whole weight of the world shifted onto his shoulders as his family fell apart and he became the victim of neglect, abuse and extreme religious beliefs. He is terrified and distraught, forced to deal with much more than most other kids deal with. Instead of getting a happy, safe childhood, he spends what little years he has… like this. To the point where his mind becomes this dark place, where even the most childish and idealized aspects become warped and unsafe. And of course, the Horsemen aren’t the only aspect that show this, but I feel they do act as a more notable display of this alongside some other bosses and aspects of the game…

And Conquest… ah… Dare I say the most “mature” of Isaac’s horsemen, in terms of what the boy is going through in his head. Maybe he shares this award with death, though. Not only does Isaac acknowledge the forgotten one, but… there’s just something so. Interesting about the state Conquest is in. He, too, is a corpse, but he’s not quite like the others. He is not that skeleton picked clean and is very visibly dead, but he is relatively intact and well preserved. Even the horse head seems alright. There is… honor. Respect. Humanity. Glory. He himself is holy, one of two enemies that attack w/ beams of light. The other is Isaac.

And that’s just. It’s a lot to unpack. But I think it’s telling that Conquest is the holy one. The white rider basked in holy light, not aligned with any demon, able to keep a body not rotting, burnt or stripped of flesh…

And maybe that’s why he’s the “forgotten” one. The reason he’s not with the Beast and other demons.

Because no one wants to admit those that call themselves holy the most are the ones doing the destroying.

And In killing his own “holy” self and Dogma, Isaac already destroys the standards he was held to and overcomes the brunt of the trauma from the fundamentalist beliefs imposed upon him. Conquest is really only an extension of that. He need not fight him. Now it’s a fight against the aftermath, the rest of the pain, the worst his mother sent to him…

But the source? Dogma. And conquest dies with dogma.

Dragons, and the influence the Faerûn Pantheon has (or rather, does NOT have) over them. And how it relates to my tav

I've been thinking about how much the gods of dnd actually play a role within bg3, and kinda how having a True Dragon (albeit at first unknowingly) influences the story just a bit because of what he is.

To get started, Dragons have their Own Pantheon, assuming we are not ruling out pre-5e lore entirely. Bahamut and Tiamat are the most well known of course, they are also included in the Faerûn pantheon, so I won't be talking about them too much.

What I'm mostly concerned with are the two defying aspects (Life, Death, and fate) seeing as Withers is very obviously Jergal, and how The Dead Three (along with Vlaakith and Mystra) are all within bg3 in some way.

The Most Influential Dragon god is Asgorath/Io, the originator. He is briefly mentioned by Lae'zel within bg3 in a throwaway line. Known as the Ninefold Drgaon, Asgorath influences the fates of all dragons

There is also Chronepsis, Dragon god of Fate, Death and Judgement. A multi aspected god who may also be known as Null.

Now, to have a Dragon be put into the center of conflict of a story is rare indeed, which is why I like Págos so much. Dragons are often treated as mounts, villains, bosses, or otherwise just out of reach wells of knowledge one party may encounter only to move on with their lives.

It's special in the sense of bg3 because you are dealing with a Lot of Faerŭn gods, but in my canon bc Págos is a dragon none of these gods have Any actual influence over him? Dragons are outside of their jurisdiction unless specifically asked for their help by them. They have no hand to mold their clay, that is for their own gods. This is what makes Págos such an anomaly, because that is essentially what he is in bg3's story...An Anomaly.

Págos is from the ancient past frozen in time and wound up in the present. His fate is guarded by his own gods, leaving the faerûn pantheon to simply watch what is essentially a wild card wander into what could be a world-ending conflict. Withers mentions this, for being a god watching over fate and death, he had no insight into Págos which made dealing with him unsettling at the very least. In my head Elminster also mentions this to Gale as a forewarning about Págos from Mystra, Vlaakith knows this and becomes even angrier not just because of Lae'zel going against her, but because lae'zel is traveling with a companion that makes the entire situation much more dangerous for her, Same with Shar. It is why raphael tried so desperately to get págos into a contract with him. The stakes are higher with a glitch in the system, outside of their control and outside of their influence. Not to say they couldn't hurt him of course, they could they're gods, but its with the knowledge it isn't as simple as smiting someone when a greater power has placed them there, when doing so creates a plethora of problems than it would if págos was simply another mortal. I just think its all very funny. Its also my reasoning why they dont just directly influence him or the game outside of whatever reasoning is already provided.

And also, as a little side note about how ive been having so much fun with him as a character...its kinda like i said before. Dragons in dnd are incredibly powerful, knowledgeable, otherwordly PEOPLE. They are PEOPLE, they are highly intelligent (moreso than the mortal races) and can outlast civilizations...but they are never treated as such, a product of being a game npc. Dragons are regulated to side characterss, npcs, animals, threats, mounts, but never really delving deep into their own personhood. Never the heroes of a story...until now! Thats why I like Págos so much! Because I get to play with How a dragon actually interprets life and emotion differently. I get to delve deeper into lore like this, I get to play with a dragon interacting with others not as this outside influence but as a friend, as their ally. Especially with him being a chromatic dragon its doubly important since chromatics are often just considered evil and are more likely to be treated as animals despite the fact they are just as capable as their metallic counterparts. Anyway I just think its fun! Thanks for coming to my Tav ted talk.

Sorry about yet more Nibelung asks, but is Ortwin's parentage ever expounded upon in any works? The Nibelungenlied just called him Hagen's (and maybe by extension Dankwart's) sister's son. So far as I'm aware, neither this sister nor her husband ever appears on-page. What is interesting, though, is that in Norse sources, there is a second Nibelung sister alternately named Gudny or Gullrond, and that's the only place we can find any sister of Hagen's appearing on-page (besides Gudrun/Kriemhild, but you know).

Hey, it's cool with me, really! ^^ As for Ortwin... mmmh, I don't think so? Or at least, there's nothing that comes to mind right now, but tbf, I actually had to check the text to see if he he really was identified as specifically the son of Hagen's sister -- not because I didn't believe you on that, ofc, but because I honestly just remembered him being referred to as Hagen's nephew. Which I suppose only goes to show that I've never seen anything expanding on his familial relationships, lol.

Hagen's unnamed sister (or, at least, an unnamed sister) is also mentioned in the Waltharius, in which she's the mother of Patravid, Hagen's nephew who dies fighting against Walther. No additional information is given on her or her husband there, either, but that's still easier to keep in mind for me because, understandably, Hagen angsts quite a bit about trying and failing to prevent his sister's son's death.

Tbh, I personally tend to keep my continental Germanic and Norse headcanon relatively separate (... unless it makes things very dramatic, very funny, or both), and even when talking about just the historical/literary aspect, I'm not quite sure if her figure could have actually had an equivalent in other traditions (especially with how drastically the composition of this family can vary from one source to another, and the fact that heroes having nephews by their sisters was just kind of a trope in Medieval Europe... in England, for example, you have King Arthur's nephews, and even Robin Hood originally had one in the form of an early Will Scarlett), however, I kinda love that you mentioned Gudny/Gullrond! Both because I love Gudrunarkvida I so, SO much, and necause I just like it when the minor/one-time/forgotten female figures of the Sigurd cycle (like Oddrun, or Kostbera, or Gunnar's second wife Glaumvor) get a mention. <3

OKAY SO THIS IS SOMETHING ME AND MY FRIEND DO THAT I SORTA NOW HC J & S TO DO IT AS WELL and i need you- queen of prongsfoot to tell me weather if they also would do this or this sleep-deprived me talking

so every year basically on our birthdays we send each other letters. and by sending I mean hand delivering it to them cause we live two mins away

but it just always has this format right? the address while following the normal format didn't contain the actual working address ala harry potter style kinda like for ex

ash/resident of everlasting patience and stupidity/ mountain of discarded coffee cups/ 16000 pictures in phone gallery street

but then the letter would be the most beautiful piece of ode to friendship to each other and just her and she shines my world and just e v e r y t h i n g.

like my description of notes is this should be so emotive that the reader is reduced to tears laughs and everything in between and those letters (more like a 5 page essay) is something that is one of my most cherished thing to get yearly.

and if you want to add angst to it, imagine sirius finding all those old james letters for each one of his birthday and one maybe for his 22nd one that he didnt get to read for lets just sya reasons

the way i saw u write this in real time and still took so long to get to it 😭😭 i should be locked up i s2g.

no okay but listen!!!! ur onto something here!!!

so. because i’m me, i’m gonna add an aspect of generational/familial history to it. so, imagine like fleamont and/or euphemia writing letters for james on his birthdays, right? and it’s filled with these heartfelt, funny messages and he cherishes them a lot. brings them to hogwarts and reads them when he’s feeling upset (only making himself more homesick in the process lol)

and then on sirius’ first bday in hogwarts (which is only a couple months in, yeah?) he sees that he gets a terrible, horrible letter from his family that doesn’t nothing except scold him/humiliate him and how it hurts sirius. SO. in a bid to restructure his perception of bday letters, james borrows from his own tradition & starts writing letters for sirius. he’s so filled w affection always that it’s absolutely not a problem for him to fill pages upon pages. (and u can even add the address thing as way for j to make it funny so sirius laughs!!)

so yeah, james starts it and slowly, hesitantly, sirius does the same. he’s never as proficient at it as james is, because he’s not as emotional in the first place, but whatever he writes is always heartfelt. (also, in a creative sirius scenario, u could hc that he draws something or composes music just for james and that’s equally sentimental but w/o being so horribly revealing?)

and like yeah, imagine then that james has got his 22nd bday letter all written and stuff bc he’s a little dork who never leaves stuff until the last minute unless he can help it, right? and despite doing this for a decade (a decade!!! they only had a decade together!!!) he’s still so fucking excited to write a fresh one bc he loves gifting and making people happy etc etc, and so he writes it, and keeps it in a nice little envelope w the potter seal embossed on it, just waiting to give it to sirius & see his expression (fav part) except.

except he can’t.

and when sirius enters the house, he sees james’ cold, dead body lying on the floor first, but once he gets up from the ground, he spots the envelope a few feet away and lets out a howl like never before. reads it so obsessively he can recite it, each word hitting like a stab in the heart.

(or, alternatively, u can imagine him somehow discovering the letter post-azkaban after he’s spends dozen years being psychologically tortured, reliving the potters’ deaths, and believing himself to be the cause of it. u pick)

(and of course, once sirius escapes, he does the same for harry. and to parallel james & sirius, the letter he writes for harry’s 16th is left in GP and harry only finds it after the war—or even during when they halt there—when he’s cleaning it up or wtv and basically breaks down all over again)

mer au ramblings under cut ↓

i was thinking about the mers and their behaviors in particular-- i can't remember if i've ever really talked about it (if i have it's on one of the older posts? probably under one of the asks from capricorn) but bc i had spotted that recent thing i drew in my canvas library the mers are so cat-like in my head. or something. i do think they hide under their tails a lot when they get upset or embarrassed and stuff but that's probably more coming from i think they hide away in little caves and stuff normally and its like just a placeholder behavior sorta deal. they like the dark and small spaces bc like tims got that cave he likes to go to a lot (he takes kon there eventually--idk if ive ever mentioned tims little hideaway lol)

i do think they also like to smack each other with their tails as a playing thing which is fun until its a human and they get absolutely wasted by 30+ lbs of pure muscle. i do think it would be hilarious if in some of the first interactions dick smacks someone and there is very quickly rules established. he ends up only being able to play with jason until he goes . "missing". (tbh this is making me think about little dick and jason and im getting very teary. thinking about bruce deciding to reach out to the humans as a way to help protect both himself and his sons from poachers and stuff. gets them access to medicine.)

i DO think that dick and jason woulda been much closer in this though and i feel like being honest mers kinda have shorter lifespans in the wild? (bruce is probably still pretty young by human standards i think, but is getting up there by mer standards) limited access to food + getting into fights + poachers. actually the fighting aspect is interesting to me because i dont think i've thought much of it before? the only natural defenses they have are teeth, nails and tail. i think mer fights would probably be very quick and typically escalate fairly fast. (also realizing bruce would definitely be a killer in this au by virtue of protecting his territory + his family. wonder if it would turn into a more he doesnt want his kids to have to ever kill? but idk bc that would be a part of the lifestyle of a mer, and they would need to know how to defend themselves anyway) weak points definitely tail fins and throat. fins specifically because they cant swim without them so they'd just kinda sink and rot at the bottom of the ocean if they dont have someone helping them; which is to say in the case of shredded fins because jason kept his fins but theres holes in them which Does effect his swimming speed but only because of the holes and not the material of his fin (i do think the humans have tech that could theoretically replace tail fins in order to help them swim again but they wouldn't be as durable as their natural fins. wouldn't be able to tolerate fast swimming. probably what would've happened to babs--i don't think ive ever addressed her in this au? i should go and design some of the people that are missing. i think shed be reallyyyy pretty.) but i think that once a fight is determined to be to death they just go for the throat/gills.

regardless that is to say that the hiding behavior i think is funny and i do fully believe the first time kon or jon sees it they immediately make a cat comment and then show pictures. depending on who the mer is/their landside education they dont even know what cats are which would be kinda funny i think. hilarious to me if damian convinces jon to bring a cat because he wants to meet it (he definitely still loves animals--probably bffsies w some of the sharks and other animals in their territory.) I DESPERATELY WANT KON TO BRING KRYPTO oh god kory would have a heart attack if he snuck krypto in. bart would love him. i think tim and cassie would be a little ehhh about him but krypto so sweet just a little baby .

i had talked about a while ago that i should try to work bernard in--i think itd be kinda silly if there were a bunch of tims like comic HS friends that are just interns or something in different areas of the facility and stuff and they all end up kinda becoming friends anyway. bernard, darla, ives, etc. idrc if it doesnt make sense this entire au is a trainwreck anyway lol

ACTUALLY very funny to me i was thinking abt how tim gets a little demanding in getting carried/carted around on land and he finds out kinda quick most the people there can't actually lift them up (kon can technically lift tim/bart/cassie but he Struggled at first). him asking ives to take him to a different tank and ives just gives him a really long look before getting a wheelchair and helping tim drag himout of his current tank LOL i think there would be lots of cursing and sniping from both sides .

ill wrap this up but now im thinking abt mer courtship stuff--idk if ive ever talked about that here? its kinda silly LOL

31 and 37 for Annie, Mary and kitty for ghosts ask

Hell yeah more asks >:)

31) If you could do a complete redesign of one of the ghosts' costumes, whose would you change and how?

Julian with pants and nothing else.

Okay I was tryna be funny but here's a more thought out answer. I know their costumes are not only meant to show their respective eras but also portray aspects of their personality but I really wanna see Cap in civilian clothes. And not just civilian clothes but casual wear. Cuz it'd be 40s fashion. I mean...COME ON. If we ever saw Cap in casual clothes I think I'd go insane. I mean considering Seb and I spent FIFTEEN (15) MINUTES going back to rewatch the scene with his jacket off and sleeves rolled up. GODDAMN. I also just wanna see this man RELAXED and AT EASE fuckin PLEASE GIVE THIS MAN SOME REST AAAAA. Anyways, Cap in casual wear and mayhaps even 40s gay fashion *eyes emoji eyes emoji*

37) What do you think [insert character name here] was like when they were alive? Do you think they were exactly the same as they are now, or do you think there were any major or minor differences?

Okay, we get to see a decent amount of Alive Kitty in her ep SO. She seemed to be very optimistic and upbeat as she is in death HOWEVER, those are her memories with rose tinted glasses. I do think she was outwardly bright and happy as she seems to be even in death but I don' think that was the case when she was alone. She tells Alison about the hide and seek game but part of me is imagining that Kitty very much assumed she'd been forgotten about but didn't want to go back and have to face that so stayed out and ate a handbag. Even when she tells the ghosts about her past, slivers of reality slip through. In life, she probably felt bullied by her sister and even her father but when she died she made herself forget that while keeping the optimistic personality. We don't yet know how she died but either way, Kitty probably watched as Eleanor faked being sad about her passing which made her think she actually cared for Kitty. Fuck, I'm rewatching Something To Share.

Mary very obviously changed quite a bit. She used to have a hard time even coming up with an insult but in death she was so creative and outspoken. She seemed a lot more fun and free after she died which is not really how that's meant to go. Always a little bit "odd" but not as vocal until she met Annie.

I think Annie was probably the same as Mary. Not as free until death. This is just from memory but she seemed to be in a kinda Puritan environment which would've been very dull and limiting especially for a woman. Although unlike Mary, it seemed to take no time at all for her to start insulting her past peers and shit which I think is hilarious what a fuckin legend and fair e-fucking-nuff.

Ty Anon, those were some good characters to make me think about in the second one. I don't have much to say on Annie considering we only see her in two eps but she does seem pretty cool ngl. And also uhhhh...I did not expect to ramble so much about Casual Cap. But now I really wanna see that so fucking badly. All these asks may have reignited my Ghosts hyperfixation

[the-13th-rose]

👀 questions eyyyy?

Here's some f/o questions I've randomly thought of that I don't think I see much on ask memes!:

😤🎯 What's a popular fanon interpretation of your f/o that you just cannot, for any reason at all, stand to see? The kind that has you like "LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED THEM"?

🤣💖 What are things your f/o does that always, without fail, earn a laugh from you?

😳💞 What about your f/o makes your heart flutter? Personality? Epic moments? Their voice? Lay it on me!

🥺💬 If you could say one thing to your f/o and know for sure it would be delivered to them and they be able to react to it, what would it be?

thanks for chatting! This got SO long so check under the cut!

You may have already seen me complain about Ventress's eventual canon development and how a lot of the fandom that actually makes stuff for her seems to embrace that (basically, her endgame in canon was getting into a short-lived relationship with a jedi I don't personally care for besides just his role in her death - which eventually led to her doing the egregiously ooc (imo) thing of sacrificing herself for the guy. Sorry but imo she did not undergo enough heroic character development for me to believe that she would do that for anyone, much less a good guy. And she also doesn't seem the type to allow love to turn her foolish.)

The only thing I can say about Beast is that I dislike the Beast!Wirt concept. It doesn't feel in-character and I dislike the idea of Beast being able to possess people at all, it feels dismissive of his actual more subtle scare factor and him being able to do so would open up a world of cinemasins nitpicking for the plot (ie; "why would Beast have to convince the Woodsman to help him if he could just possess him instead"). I'm chill with the corrupting influence of the black turtles, but the dog-beast wasn't literally intelligently possessed by the Beast himself. It was kinda just berserk and hungry.

I might end up with something to say about all or most aha...uh for Biowulf I haven't seen many fanon takes on him (the Generator Rex fandom is mostly dead and those who remain don't care about Wulfy much) but the one I have seen that I dislike is the belief that he was a dog pre-mutation. Like, seriously? Do you just think every animal-like E.V.O. (mutant monsters from the show for the uninformed) was never human. Sorry, but Biowulf is a biker dude to me. He may have always been doglike in some ways, but I refuse to believe he was once non-sapient, or that he'd regress to that state if his mutation was ever reversed.

I. have many opinions on Grievous. many of which are not popular perhaps. Uh the thing that bugs me the most is people who write him off completely as a goofy meme character. Yes, he's funny sometimes, he has humorous aspects to his character, and fundamentally some things about him are inherently ridiculous, but I really dislike the fans who will scoff at people like me that believe in the potential for complexity and depth for him. And yes, I have seen fans do that. I have seen fans make fun of in-depth character analysis or more complex fan interpretations of him because "he's a funny meme villain". Star Wars is a hellscape of a fandom and there are so many assholes here. Many that don't even seem to REALIZE that they're being jerks. I like the memes with him, but I hate seeing him pushed aside and disregarded when it comes to the popular idea of getting really deep with TCW's symbolism and themes. I don't understand why only the "good guys" are allowed to be involved in that and all the villains must remain as basic kid-show-level evil as their vanilla selves. Especially when the show itself dabbled in the idea of at least some of the "bad guys" being complex (even though I wound up disliking a lot of what was done with Ventress)

I also have many opinions on Harry Warden!!! I. Really dislike the way the slasher fandom has chosen to reduce him to cannibalism jokes and like nothing else! A. There is so much more to his concept than just the cannibalism and when you take a step back, the cannibalism is actually probably one of the LEAST interesting things about him!! and B. Unlike other horror cannibals like Hannibal or the Sawyers, there is nothing to suggest Harry actually LIKED eating his coworkers and canonically there's no mention of him ever trying it again. It was a desperate act to avoid starvation that without a doubt worsened the trauma the cave-in and weeks of isolation likely already caused him. And this is not me trying to woobify a slasher, I genuinely do not believe he is a willing cannibal or a purely opportunistic killer. To portray him as either, imo, weakens him as a character and makes him less interesting in a sea of willing cannibals and purely opportunistic killers. The lovecore aesthetic can only carry him so far alone.

The only thing I can say about Licorice Cookie's fanon interpretations that thoroughly irks me is. like basically every popular ship for him. I'm sorry, and you're free to enjoy your ships at your leisure, but Licorice is absolutely not the guy to fall for bubbly goody-goody types. He's embarrassingly obsessed with villainy and darkness. I like the goth x sunshine ship dynamic as much as the next guy, but someone as hellbent on being a campy villain as Licorice would absolutely not fawn over anyone who isn't just as into villainy as he is.

The Rango fandom is basically nonexistent but for the most part I think the few people who post about Jake do get it right. The only thing that irks me is when he's described as a "redeemed" villain. Buddy, developing respect for the hero and choosing not to kill him as a result, is not full redemption. He doesn't express regret for a single evil thing he did, he doesn't apologize, he doesn't even help the hero outside of telling him the equivalent of "good job, dude" and carrying the true villain off to kill him off-screen (which he didn't do for Rango anyway. He just wanted revenge against the true villain for betraying him!) Rattlesnake Jake is super fucking cool but he is not redeemed. And that's part of why he stays cool from introduction to final shot!

For Shockwave, I don't actually find it all that annoying, but I am very confused as to why half of his fans seem to ship him with the cop he kills. I get enemies-to-lovers and I get hate ships and I get the kinky appeal of two enemies hatefucking and I even get the kinky appeal of a villain stalking and obsessing over one of their canon victims. I just want to know why most of the stuff I've seen of them is complete fluff. What is the appeal of taking a ship where the main appeal would be how conceptually messed up it is...and then stripping it of any messed up elements. I've seen that happen to multiple conceptually messed up ships and it just...feels so boring. Be shameless, bro. Embrace the fucked up elements of your ship.

lololol sorry for taking so long on the first question :D but you probably wanted an essay anyway if you're messaging me about my blorbos. For the laugh question, I absolutely love Demongo's laugh and his excitement over violence. He has such an adorable laugh and I always smile and giggle when I hear it. If you can get into the independently revamped version of FusionFall or play the Flashpoint archived version, there's a kind of follower pet (they're called Nanos) based on him and GOD all of his lines are pure joy. He laughs, says cute evil things, and is so sweet to the player in his own evil way.

Licorice makes me laugh in a similar way, because he's just SUCH a dork and it's cute as hell. I just hope he knows that even though I laugh at his attempts to be intimidating, I still very much love him and am rooting for him.

I absolutely love NOS-4-A2's mannerisms and little speech quirks, I can never get over him excitedly somersaulting in the air when he's telling Zurg how he took over Star Command HQ in his debut episode. He's so proud of himself!!! And "OH, don't take that tone with ME, Zurg!" always cracks me up. He's a very funny robo-serial killer.

Ozzie makes me laugh with his rampant horniness, really. I'm the kind of person who gets very giggly when flustered positively. And he's the kind of guy who knows this and finds it adorable. We make each other laugh :)

Shen just makes me laugh with how he reacts to not being treated seriously. He gets flustered easily, he's angered easily, and in both cases it's very funny. When he's not actually willing to throw feather knives at you, he can only yell indignantly, and that's just cute :) It's one of his most bird-like moments, angrily squawking at you because he doesn't like how you looked at him.

I can't even go from f/o to f/o on the third question because we would be here FOREVER. The short of it is, I discovered my voice kink through selfshipping and it's why my list is like 85-90% animation. For a lot of mine, it's the voice that initially drew me to them and/or made me stick around when the visuals drew me in first. Even a lot of my casual friends-with-benefits f/os are voice-based.

Oh gosh, I have no answer for the fourth question. I'd be so nervous to say anything! I guess I just want them to know I love them :)
