#also. any pronouns for this character. go wild uwu

[astral-dragons]

wake up new dnd character just dropped-

[lgbtmi]

new blorbo in law to learn abt! every question ending in 3 + a b and c for wende!

hehehehehehe wende (any pronouns) time!!! to give a bit of context i'll do a, b and c first and then i'll get into answering further questions abt her (:

A) Why are you excited about this character?

Wende is fucking wild. Combined with the system and the relationship map we've created, there's so much angst, drama, and chaos to uncover that I'm just itching to get in there. Monday shall be the day. The day where we discover how bad Wende's drug use actually is, why the guy she assassinated is back (he's an android but she doesn't know that), and maybe even what is in their future with their changeling partner... Also they're named after a performer I really like and I think that's neat uwu

B) What inspired you to create them?

He kind of just kind of... spawned? I joined some friends for a season of Hillfolk Dramasystem and I rolled the last slot on deciding what my character would be, and thus got to be the first person to connect to all other characters. And when the player who went in front of me decided his character would be a politician, the concept of 'guess Wende is just going to be a refugee on the run for having tried to murder the politician-guy'. And it all went downhill from there. It's hilarious.

C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?

Not really, to be honest. The point of the Hillfolk system is to create conflicts and relationships between characters and that is the core of the system. Wende's story is bound to change drastically (their drug addiction came from another player's reason why her character couldn't fulfill Wende's want). Her story isn't mine, it's everyone's, as his purpose is to be a vehicle, which is a refreshing take between all the chaos in my brain regarding Vampire :3

So now that that is out of the way: here's questions abt Wende and their answers!! :D

3. How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)

Due to their position on the space ship they're on being... not intended... per se... Wende's night routine is pretty simple. Get into bed, try to move as little as possible, and wait for the sweet sweet darkness to take her for a couple of hours. That final step is harder than one might expect, because their brain is always on some other type of shit and stopping the endless onslaught of thoughts for long enough to actually fall asleep is not something they're specifically good at.

13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?

They prefer darker colours because of his profession, but they shine in lighter colours. There's no way Wende is admitting to this, and she'll probably only wear lighter shades when prompted by their partner.

23. How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)? 

Wende is an "I take what I deserve"-type. Did they successfully fail at assassinating their current partner's fwb? Yes. The answer is yes. But hey, a doctor isn't supplying him with the narcotics they need, and that's going to be an absolute issue in the future. She has a gun, after all. And she's not afraid to use it.

 33. Could they be considered lazy? 

Absolutely not. They hate hate hate sitting around and will get incredibly antsy and uncomfortable when not doing anything. This doesn't mean she'll do the things she has to do, he'll push off their chores like the best of them, but they're never not doing anything.

43. If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so? 

Very simple. Raised eyebrow, vague hand motion, and maybe then a shrug before trying to fade into the darkness. What's a sexuality and how do you describe it when you're an enigma and your partner is even more of an enigma than you are, y'know?

[shotorozu]

hello !! I'd rlly like to request Monoma if that's alright! I've had a huge soft spot for him for a while now and I'd love to see more content of him ;v;

anyway! we all know that superiority complex of his is definitely hiding some insecurities, but I also feel like he'd be quite touchstarved too bc of his peers seldom physically interacting with him due to his quirk, yknow?

with that in mind, I'd love to see how he'd handle an s/o who has "physical touch" as their main love language. they can give verbal praise/comfort, but they always get so shy abt it that they prefer giving physical affection to show their love. and maybe combining that with "quality time" being their second love language, they love to just cuddle him or toy with his hands/hair during quiet moments uwu

if you wanna do multiple characters, I'd love to request Shinsou, Midoriya, and Amajiki (separately) for the same idea, but if you'd rather do this with just Monoma then I'm okay with that !! no worries if you don't wanna do all four ♡

thank you if you do this request, and make sure to take care of yourself !! ♡

physically affectionate s/o

character(s) : monoma neito, shinsou hitoshi, midoriya izuku (i cut out tamaki for this one, sorry :[ but i’ll do another part if anyone wants it)

legend : [Y/N = your name] they/them pronouns used, strong quirk but the details aren’t specific, reader is a part of 1-A

headcanon type : fluff (and if you squint, then crack)

note(s) : yes i do agree :,) monoma should be getting a little bit more content, and i’m sorry that this came out so late! i was multitasking with other requests (because i took a 2 day absence,,) but this doesn’t mean i don’t read people’s requests

»»————-　♡　————-««

monoma neito

monoma 🤝 bakugou “the pros at sending mixed signals”

if there’s one thing he’s known for— then it’s for the persistent teasing, and his quite obnoxious attitude (especially at 1-A)

but he’s not a terrible person, he sure does have his reasons. and by now, people either choose to ignore him, or they simply knock the wind out of him

so, he was not prepared to encounter someone that was tolerant of him, AND also his type— like.. huh. that’s.. odd

and he was even more surprised when they accepted his wild love confession. there must be some catch to it, right?

so like i’ve said— monoma sends a lot of mixed signals. it’s either he’s complimenting your existence, or teasing you in various ways.

so— it’s just another normal day of monoma mouthing off to you, teasing you in a playful way, while you guys are hanging out this is way of making you remember him

but then, you just.. leaned forward and placed your hand on his head— not exchanging any words at all.

monoma’s first reaction is (・・?) because what?? someone is touching him right now.. wait.. someone is touching him!

honestly really shook, and at a lost for words— because everyone has refrained from coming into any physical contact with him? what a surprise! what even is this?

after said incident, you decide to speak “you had something in your hair.” and for once, monoma is the one that’s sitting in silence

“R-REALLY, Y/N? DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT WAS GOING TO W-WORK ON ME OR SOMETHING?” he questions in his usual mocking tone, but his cheeks are accompanied in a flushed red

he’d only experience field day when he realized that touch was basically your love language, with quality time in the second lead

so whenever you guys are spending time together, you’d,, actually go closer to him! this has never happened before, let him be

he doesn’t really like the idea of getting his hair touched, so you usually choose to fiddle with his hands— sometimes observing his details, and other times you’ll be comparing hand sizes

he’ll ridicule you for being so touchy— but he’ll ask if he’s “that irresistable?” while also moving you closer to him. he loves it a lot, okay?

don’t let class 1-b see this, he will flex on them because when he starts getting annoying again, they’ll use you as blackmail.

“monoma, i swear— if you do that, we’ll tell Y/N-”

“HAHA— ok, i’m sorry.”

shinsou hitoshi

he probably has the most chill reaction out of the bunch

again— another person that has been antagonized because of their quirk. he’s been perceived as villanious ever since his middle school days

kids have been told to keep their distance away from him at a young age so.. you’d bet that he’d be really touch starved

he never had any serious experiences with dating, and he never had any real friends— that weren’t cautious of his quirk

that was until he met you, which he just assumed you were another highkey stuck up person in the hero course

but, you were basically the opposite, and you were a real pleasure to have around. one thing lead to another, and now you guys are dating

he thought it was really cute whenever you got too shy to just sit in silence during dates, or to even give out words of affirmations

but hitoshi was surprised at first when he felt you pull yourself closer to him— resting your head on his shoulder. the concept of someone wanting to be in his presence is still sinking in for him

lucky for you! shinsou knows how to adapt to situations quickly, immediately slinging an arm around your shoulder, as he listens to you talk

he’ll be surprised when you start touching his hair, because golly!! are you guys close

but do it more pls, he loves it a lot— it sometimes makes him really drowsy.

if you play with his hands omg, his heart will do somersaults. he’s lucky that he’s able to keep himself composed.

loves watching you choosing to cuddle him, after briefly giving up on trying to form coherent words of affirmations.

it’s something he brings up quite often, but not in a teasing manner!

sometimes he’ll pat the free spot beside him, basically begging you to come closer to him.

eventually, denki notices on how touchy he’ll get whenever you’re around— but hitoshi will just shrug it off

“it’s always been that way.” he simply says, but he’ll turn around with this big ass grin on his face 💀

he’s whipped for your touch. so please, do it more

midoriya izuku

he’s also touchstarved. actually, all of them are really touchstarved, and for different reasons 💀

well.. it’s not like he had a choice from the getgo. he was born quirkless, and that lead to him becoming an outcase— and also the victim of bullying i wanna hug him

and being told constantly that he won’t ever be enough, or he won’t ever be a hero— it’s obvious that he doesn’t have any dating experience

but he didn’t think he’d be dating anytime soon— especially since he was ‘just’ pinning over you. he was convinced it was going nowhere

until you confessed. he’s surprised that he didn’t pass out

ever since you guys started dating, he noticed that you’ve been a little timid— not in the way that you feel awkward, more like,, you wanted to say something

or do something, because when you guys were studying together, you just suddenly sat closer to him— and started counting his freckles

he short circuited for a second.

he was reduced to a stuttering, and blushy mess— and you just laughed, telling him “you should continue what you’re doing!” as you ran your other hand across his shoulders

that night, he was wide awake in his bed— recalling your gentle and loving touch, running his hands along the parts of his hair, that you’ve touched

he loves quality time, because while he does like to ramble a lot— he does enjoy spending time with you in silence, but it’s the touches that makes him flustered

despite him being quite shy to initiate any sort of touch, you— on the other hand, were shy with saying praises. so you coped with physical touch, and quality time

man, izuku never gets used to it. no matter how much he tries to— he’s just.. needy, touchstarved.

he doesn’t realize how lost he looks when you’re sitting beside him, and not touching his hair or hands for once. please feel free to do so

oh, and since we’re on the topic of hands— he’ll tear up if you start playing/fiddling with his hands, and especially when you start tracing his scars. it makes him feel so warm.

okay but,, please give him a heads up if you’re going to act touchy in public. he’ll start stammering and blushing hard you might have to put him in rice or smth

the dekusquad talks about that quite a lot, especially when they accidentally witnessed it in the common room (for the first time)

in short— he adores it. sometimes he’ll initiate it, by asking you if you want to sit beside him, to play with his hair. he’s so inlove

likes and reblogs are appreciated, thanks for reading!

i do not own bnha/mha and it’s characters. boku no hero academia/my hero academia belongs to horikoshi kohei. i only own the writing, and i do not profit off of my hobby

[shadowtongued]

get  to  know  the  mun  !         repost,  don’t  reblog.

———  BASICS  !  ♡

NAME  :  channy !

PRONOUNS  :  she / her !

TAKEN  OR  SINGLE  :  in a dedicated relationship with 800 boxes of tea. when we breakup and i defeat them, thus unchaining me from the curse, i will let you know.

———  THREE  FACTS  ! ♡

u can make me happy cry very easily. i will tear up at animals and angst like it’s no one’s business. i have to play games w the door closed bc any sappy/sad plot or dialogue will have my hand on my chest going ‘oh.’ and no one needs to see me like that. 

i can recommend you many instrumental songs from game and film scores that i have never seen or played. i just like music. i listen to weird bands too.

please don’t talk abt tea or coffee to me, i won’t shut up i won’t shut up i won’t shut up i won’t shut up i will go on and on and on. unless you want me to. ; u; i will recommend u a tea that reminds me of you. i probably have a caffeine addiction but have come to terms with it. it’s just like that.

———  EXPERIENCE  !  ♡

            i had a personal blog since like... 2008 but it wasn’t until 2009-2010 i made an rp blog and stuck with it. some people prob still remember my alex me.rcer; vindictive-virus/apexpraedator. sometimes i still think abt bringing it back via revamp. i’ve only ever had TWO blogs i stayed active on for like YEEEEEARS. i guess you could say my ‘writing’ ( and learning abt graphics/coding ) started on neopets tho. i wrote an edgy mutant techo with angel wings. i mean, shit, i’ll drink to that, little me. we all start somewhere. after that i wrote on some forums/passed a word doc file around with some friends. then i came here.

———  MUSE  PREFERENCE  !  ♡

            canon comes easier for me. i like to pick really obscure or not fully fleshed out characters so i can kinda..... flesh them out myself. i also lean a lot towards male muses :/c not sure why. but I DO INDEED have ocs. i just don’t have the balls to write them. i do talk abt them a bit with close friends. maybe one day i’ll finish that multi of ocs of mine. 

             i love horror and supernatural muses. usually if i pick up a muse, you can bet i’m going to be hyperfixed on that character for like fuckin 3-6 years and not move anywhere. *looks at how this blog has been a thing since ‘17* jesus i love trashy villains/anti-heroes too. ambiguous morality and wild superpowers/chosen one status? tell me more!!!

———  FLUFF  /  ANGST  /  SMUT  !  ♡    

FLUFF  :  y e s.

ANGST  :  if i don’t do it i’ll die, i live for it.

SMUT  :  i haven’t actually written WRITTEN it in like.. years. i would like to but i also reserve it for close friends/ships. 

PLOT  /  MEMES  :  i could be a lot better with plotting. i like to wing it a lot and can be seen as lazy to some bc i literally can go with the flow and don’t mind doing some wishlist fulfillment for others within reason. spontaneous is in my bones. i DO love memes but i end up getting very detailed on responses bc i love all the possibilities!!! 

tagged by  : i materialized from the void and @extremepath held it out to me  ♥

tagging : do this. it’s your curse now. uwu

[angycryptid]

Just gonna drop the results of this quiz for all 10 of my Lemon Demon ocs even though i have made character sheets for exactly zero of them, so here's a very strange intro to them.

1. Alec Bell (He/Him)(Lifetime Achievement Award & Touch Tone Telephone)

people don't care about this character enough:((

most fans completely gloss over this character and are obsessed with another character. even if this character is well written and has a cool plot :(( smh these fans need to pay attention to this character :(((

Fair enough, he probably wouldn't be a fan favorite, but i like him

2. Mara Zapp (She/Her)(Pizza Heroes)

people will not shut up about how they deserve better

this character went though a lot and fans are BITTER they write a crazy amount of fix it fics and just generally talk about how the character deserves way better

Tbh she didn't go through too much, her parents just dislike that she wants to be a mechanic/inventor and doesn't wanna do college, also the pet question made me realize that she would absolutely have a pet rat

3. Clover Beckett (He/Him) (Sweet Bod & Spiral of Ants)

people will not shut up about how they deserve better

this character went though a lot and fans are BITTER they write a crazy amount of fix it fics and just generally talk about how the character deserves way better.

Honestly true because he is absolute baby with a somewhat traumatic backstory

4. Talon Rocket (They/Them) (Atomic Copper Claw)

people will not shut up about how they deserve better

this character went though a lot and fans are BITTER they write a crazy amount of fix it fics and just generally talk about how the character deserves way better.

True, but in a completely different way than Clover because they're basically nonbinary American Wolverine who runs on coffee

5. Cygnus (doesn't really care about pronouns, but most people use She/They) (No Eyed Girl)

lots of fanart but in a cool way :o

this character has a chill fanbase !!!! people just make aesthetic art for them !! your character is probably fairly unproblematic

Yesssssss, i think that people would want to draw her especially because they have skin and hair that looks like a galaxy, the fairly unproblematic is a stretch tho because she nearly girlbossed her way to destroy the universe and only stopped because chaos inventor girl is pretty and she must simp.

6. Vic Wilson (They/She) (Spring Heeled Jack)

very controversial

some people are literally in love with your character. others want to witness their execution. and probably these fans fight each other a lot about it. and they @ you for like 90% of their fights so your notifications are blowing up and it's all about this one character and you're just so tired

True because this character is so chaotic that she's been 20 since the 1800's simply because they refuse to die.

7. Dalton Howe (He/Him) (The Only House That's Not on Fire Yet)

people will not shut up about how they deserve better

this character went though a lot and fans are BITTER they write a crazy amount of fix it fics and just generally talk about how the character deserves way better.

Honestly fair because his entire family is bigoted as hell and it got them haunted by an angry lesbian (for good reason)

8. Tr4V1!Z (He/Him) (Melt Everyone (i know not technically Lemon Demon, but still))

it's just edit after edit after edit,,

either fans really simp for this character, or there's a lot of aesthetic scenes for this character. either way there's like 2 songs fans use constantly for these edits and at first it's kinda cool, but eventually, you grow sick of these songs. im sorry but they'd probably use mother mother songs :((((

ahfdkjlhajdgdskjl THEY SIMPIN OVER THE ROBOT TIKTOK FUCKBOY I CAN'T

9. Melano (They/He/She) (Something Glowing & Spiral of Ants)

people call them "smol bean" :(((

i regret to inform you but,, people are making edits of this character and giving them cat ears. and making them say uwu. and probably infantilizing them in some way. your character deserves so much better

Yeah, also this would be especially funny if someone who doesn't know the character bc they would see uwu smol bean so aborbs and then scroll down to see a character who has four arms, glowing antennae, blue hair and skin, a fish tail and human legs, and so many fish fins

10. Bella Wildes

reader x character fanfics :((

people simp for this character. like a crazy amount. you look at the tag for this character on tumblr and it's all just fanfiction with reader x character. you're scared to look them up on any fanfiction site.

I'm sorry, yall wanna fuck the angry lesbian witch ghost, like ok i guess

Good Omens:A First Foray

The First Impressions of a Viewer with No Context

I knew a good chunk of the plot because at first I honestly wasn't going to watch it, so I didn't really shield myself from any spoilers on tumblr.

That being said, I was hooked right from episode 1. I went into it thinking I was gonna be all over Crowley (given my other favourite characters in most other franchises) but the first time Aziraphale smiled I M E L T E D. SO PURE AND SWEET Also when "Aziraphale" was said I had a moment of 'oh. that's how you say that' Also the earth and my mom share a birthday. When Nanny Ashtoreth showed up I KNEW I was gonna need more content of her. Wife 100%

The fact that, try as they may, Zira and Crowley are completely incompetent and really only matter in the last like 16 minutes before the end of the world is really great. It's like watching a show that's about the really interesting side characters you get to see for 2 minutes and WISH you got 6 hrs of. Thank you, Neil.

Ep 2 we get to meet Newt and Anathema and omg I love them. I need Anathemas wardrobe ugh. And newt??? disaster Newton Pulsifer??? he's a mood. Not totally sure how I feel about their relationship but I love the contrast of "hey we just met like an hour ago and we're dating now thnks" to "we've known each other for 6000 years but there's no way he likes me the same way? side note, isn't it funny how the world is always emitting a low buzz of love my dear?" "ngk"

Agnes is amazing and I love how sassy she is. 10/10. I love how Aziraphale is not at ALL concerned about being shoved against a wall by Crowley. Like not one bit. He's like "oh finally, it's only taken you 6 millenia" honestly same

Ep 3 gives us the 30 minute cold open who's only purpose is to show how these two kept coming back to each other for 6 millenia, no matter how the last meeting may have gone. Here are a few thoughts:

Crowley has very pretty hair. Also I could 100% see by this point how these two have been gay for each other since day 1. Er rather day 7? Golgotha Crowley is v pretty and learning later that those are traditionally female garments was a treat. That scene was otherwise hard to watch, and they definitely thought so as well. The globe theatre was really fun to watch, I love Shakespeare. Sadly, Hamlet reminds me of my awful 10th grade English teacher. she ADORES that play. So thanks,  Aziraphale.

Bastille= PEAK GAY LOOK

I'd seen the church scene and "you go too fast for for me in MANY a gift,  but hearing them was OOF. Michael Sheen didn't have to go so hard on that line but OH BOY DID HE EVER. I may have cried.

I honestly didn't realize that the intro didn't play until the middle of the episode until I rewatched it??  like that completely flew over my head.

THE BANDSTAND. THE E M O T I O N. AZIRAPHALE WAS SO HURT. he was so torn because so much of him still wanted to believe in the good of heaven, but his heart (or the angelic equivalent) had long ago sided with Crowley. When Crowley came back and asked him to run away to Alpha Centuri??? UGH. that dude instantly assuming they're gay? same. same random dude. same. And omg Crowley praying??? to God??? he cares about humanity and it SHOWS. By this point I was REALLY relating to Aziraphale. His reluctance to stray from what he knows and was told reminds me so much of myself. that A n x i e t y.

the end of episode 4 and into episode 5 HURT. the bookshop? "I lost my best friend"? The fact that Crowley was ready to give up and wallow drunkenly through the Apocalypse because continuing on or running away held no meaning if he didn't have Aziraphale by his side. I cried. On the other hand, defiant Aziraphale? "Angels can't posses people" "Demons can..." YES BBY STOP BLINDLY FOLLOWING ORDERS!!! FREE THOUGHT BABEY!!! Now: Shadwell and Tracy. Shadwell is hilarious and I love him, end of story. He's just so... out there. crazy dude. Madame Tracy on the other hand? AMAZING. her actress (I can't think of her name and I have a REALLY ONE TRACK MIND) absolutely KILLED it. AMAZING. The seance?  That dude who WAS JUST LOVING EVERY SECOND? Loved that so much. still cracks me up. When they first get to the airbase and Crowley compliments his dress and Aziraphales like OwO like fellas they gay.

1970s crowley... the mustache... "Can I hear a Wahoo?" Hastur... love him... "What's a computer" part of me wants to think he's just fucking with Crowley because who wouldn't but also he's so deadpan and yo I can't read expression AT ALL.

Love the fact that Crowley was ready to yeet off to a far off star system light-years away, but at the same times like "you expect me... to go to TADFIELD? In this weather??? Maybe I should drive but I mean, have you SEEN the TRAFFIC Angel? And now the M-25s on fire. Great."

Hastur going from on top of everything and tearing Crowley down to panicking because YOU'RE DRIVING TOWARDS A WALL OF FIRE.

snek eyes :3c

"Young man your CAR is on F I R E"

ALSO the horse people getting lost is peak entertainment. Honestly the horsepeople are great. War? Gorgeous. Famine? Love him. He's got style Pollution??? They're amazing, and also THEY THEM PRONOUNS BABEY. that made me v happy bc I just got used to usin em myself uwu. D E A T H. He knows his aesthetic yall. love it.

suppose nows a good a time as any: THE THEM.

I didn't really like Adam at first, he seemed a bit snobby. he's grown on me now but... ngk. Wenslydale was an instant fave. he's adorable. love him. Brian? total mess. super genuine. Great kid. PEPPER. she's great. she's sassy. she's gonna go far in life. all together, they're a tight knit group and I love them and they're all my children now thabks. and the parallels to the horsepeople? p e r f e c t

Alrighty Episode 6!!!

The beginning terrified me. All this time I was rooting for Zira and Crowley to finally get their happily ever after and yknow how most media is nowadays. There's a reason Fix-it Fics are so popular. So the beginning of the episode scared me. Also Beelzebub 💖

I love the Them vs The Horsepeople. "I believe in Peace, bitch."

I didn't even realize til later that that was Aziraphales sword. didn't even catch that line.

When Beez and Gabriel showed up? THAT DUMB SMILE OF GABES? I really hated Gabriel. The way he treated Aziraphale REALLY rubbed me the wrong way and I just did not like him one bit.

W I N G S. PRETTY WINGS. also didn't even realize that what Crowley did was STOP TIME. LIKE WHSOHDOEBE WHaT? ??

 "it burned down... remember?" uuggghhh kill me with how soft and gentle he's being!!! he knows that bookshop MEANT something to Zira hdoehekdn

T H E B O D Y  S W A P

the caught me COMPLETELY off guard... at first. I was completely unaware right up until "crowley" was attacked. I caught that little "Tickety boo" and I paused screaming like CROWLEY WOULD NOT SAY THAT IN THAT SCENARIO NO WAY THAT IS N O T ANTHONY J CROWLEY W H A T 

The heaven scene solidified my then hatred for Gabriel. I like him now but oof that scene he's still VERY punchable.

Crowley: Nearly threw hands with the Archangel Gabriel

The Hell trial. So Extra. Asking for a rubber duck? iconic! "Michael, dude!" oh mood.

when they switch back and it's all revealed? G l o r i o u s. They played each other so well!!! honestly props to Michael and David, their acting was PHENOMENAL.

The ending. A happy ending. The amount of love with which Zira says "to the world" killed me. I'm dead now thanks to that. I'm typing this from the grave,  that's how powerful that line is. Honestly, knowing next to nothing going in was kind of wild and my crazy reblogging spree actually got some of my mutuals to watch the show which is pretty neat. Going back through 3 more times now, Aziraphale definitely resonates with me the most. I actually have a small blurb I wrote on the positive effects he's had on my perception of myself in terms of stimming.

All in All this show hit me in a way I did NOT expect it to, and I'm glad I found it when I did. I was at a point where I was kinda feeling like I'd never really have a fulfilling relationship because of my asexuality, and then I found good omens. I def read the characters as ace while watching it and it was amazing seeing two characters who can love each other fully, without the need for anything explicit. The show was an instant fav and I'm trying to find a physical copy of the book (that I can afford) so I can read the original text. This is a story that's going to stay important to me for a very long time, I can feel it.

𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓: resurrection is natural to beautiful things; a flower dies in autumn to be reborn in spring.

        isabel clemons was born on the first day of spring in deadmore, georgia. her dad’s side of the family, the clemons’, were an old money family, with roots laid down in deadmore just about as far back as it was founded. and he was expected to keep it that way ─ stay in the town, start a family, continue the tradition that his ancestors started generations back. which is why when he and isabel’s mother, a mississippi woman with strawberry blonde hair and a scowl that could knock a hog dead, had trouble conceiving for a number of years, he was terrified he would disappoint his family. but time, perseverance, and a healthy amount of prayer must have done the trick, because after four years of trying, they finally saw that little blue plus.          little isabel was a miracle, it seemed, so she was treated as such. from the time she could toddle, she was handed everything she could ever want. but along with being spoiled, as her parent’s only child, a lot was expected of the girl from a young age. she began ballet when she was four, violin when she was six, always made it to the finals in every spelling be, and only received one b in her entire school career. she had a strict curfew, wasn’t allowed to date, and her parents carefully cherry-picked each of her friends. well mannered, soft voiced, legs crossed, chin down, ladylike. she never lived the life of a teenage girl; instead she existed as some unreachable ideal ─ something to be bragged about, doted on, and appreciated from afar. it was only a matter of time until she snapped.          when fall of her senior year in high school rolled around, isabel made the first decision she had ever made without her parents’ expectations in mind. after months of silent contemplation, she decided to forgo sending in college applications. of course, she didn’t tell her parents about it until they confronted her, asking about the lack of letters they had been receiving in the mail and wondering if she was hiding the results. she explained to them what she had done, and that she didn’t want to go to university at all, and unsurprisingly it resulted in an enormous fight. for most eighteen-year-olds yet to finish their senior year in high school, being disowned and kicked out by their parents would be a tragedy, but for isabel it was liberating.         she went wild, embraced her newfound freedom. she was reckless, and did things without thought for the first time in her life, even changed her name to something she thought sounded more fun. it didn’t take long for her to lose her grip on reality, to become a hedonist who thrived on adrenaline. maybe that’s why it was so easy for her to say yes when the deadmore grand carnival’s knife thrower ( i may end up putting a wc up for this character so hmu if ur interested !! ) needed a new target girl. she giggled in the face of death in a way that only an unhinged teenage girl could. and she never stopped.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓: the rose discovers she is an instrument of war

        in the years since echo impulsively took on the role of target girl in the carnival’s knife throwing act, she has picked up the skill herself ( her dedication seems to be one of her more redeeming qualities these days ), and the two performers know act as one another’s targets throughout their set. and given her volatile and impulsive nature, it wasn’t difficult for her to be drawn to the cult living in deadmore’s underbelly. she’s always had morbid fascinations, especially about the hushed whispers of the monster that the townspeople keep satiated. inevitably, those fascinations along with her inclination for the grotesque have led her straight to the cult, which she has promptly devoted herself to entirely despite the short time that she’s even known about it. 

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘: i want to kiss a god or two on the mouth.

echo is usually pretty nice upon first glance ; she grew up being pressed hard to be well mannered, and it isn’t something that immediately dissipated as she grew out of the persona her parents had made of her. 

beneath the surface, though, she can be snide and she loves messing with people for no good reason. no joke. like, fucks with tourists and tries to scare them all the time, tells them she’s a vampire or a ghost or something and pulls a whole rouse just because she thinks messing with people is funny. 

also has a nasty habit of spreading gossip.

an enormous flirt. she never really did it before, because she wasn’t allowed to date so she just tried to steer clear, and now she’s making up for lost time. *mushu voice* she’ll flirt with you, she’ll flirt with your cow, she’ll flirt with your whole family

undying interest in things she was sheltered from as a kid, most notably chaos, violence, and anything grotesque. eats the shit up. straight up you could stab her hand or some shit and after she got over the pain, she’d just stare at it in fascination. not really averse to death, a late bloomer when it comes to the idea of mortality, doesn’t really subscribe to it. enormous god complex.

all that said, she’s pretty easily manipulated a lot of times, largely because of that same sheltered upbringing. she’s seen a lot more in the past couple of years than most can handle, treating everything like it doesn’t matter and life is just a dream-state she’s stuck in helps, but it also means it’s not hard to get her to go along with what other people want (as long as some kind of benefit for her, no matter how trivial, is presented). pair that with some wild impulsivity and nonchalance about danger and death and you’ve got a fun combo baybee

i’m gonna stop there because i’ve already written waaaayy too much... if you read this whole thing u truly are my hero wow... but that’s my baby !! catch her roller skating around deadmore being nosy in everyone’s business. call her isabel and she’ll slap u ! feel free to come scream at me if u wanna do things with her, thanks for coming to my ted scream goodnight

Hiveswap Friendsim vol.18 (part 1)

MotherFUCK Oh boy, here we go. Ok, first thing’s first, the whole trans Lanque discourse. I’m not going to touch it in terms of representation, stereotyping and all that jazz, I don’t feel confident enough with such topics - and I have to admit I don’t care all that much. I only care whether or not a character is well-written and makes sense within the narrative. And I… don’t really get it..? What even is a gender for trolls? What cultural meaning does it carry for them? I still don’t understand their semi-sexual dymorphism because apparently they don’t differ in reproductive functions, therefore they aren’t even really male or female to begin with? Why the fork would they even have a concept of gender? It just doesn’t translate well from human culture to trolls. For them names, clothes, pronouns - all seems arbitrary in that sense. I feel like if alternian language had different pronouns, it would be about something different, like age or blood caste, not gender. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only time I remember we had any indication of gender carrying some sort of roles or stereotypes for trolls is when Karkat told Tavros to stop playing games “for girls”. That’s not a lot to go from. Maybe there is something that we’ve never got to explore yet. But until we get at least some Idea what being transgender means for a troll I’m just… not touching that. As for the rout itself, It wasn’t a friendsim route. It was a route of mockery. I felt like I was being made fun of all the way through, and it was even stronger than back then in Marvus’ route. And I’m pretty sure the writers knew exactly what they were doing. Thanks, I hate it! Well, not really, but that was definitely an experience that made me think wtf did I just read. It was a wild ride from the very beginning. The moment we found out the party was at Ardata’s place my mind was already twisting, like what the fuck. We never got any explanation what pushed her to throw a party like that. We never got much explanation about anything, the route felt so dismissive of details. Lynera’s presence also made me feel uneasy, but even if my feelings for her are lukewarm at best I’m still somewhat happy she was willing to put herself out there and try new things. I might even have enjoyed her company a little in the valid ending?.. We finally find out what else Elwurd does with her life aside from dating girls, and it’s… selling drugs. Okay alright. Alright alright okay. And Bronya used to date her, and it was pretty serious?.. And after what Lanque himself said to her, I just want to ask… Bronya, dear, is there something I don’t know about you? I promise I will not judge, I just want a bigger picture! Diemen’s cameo was hilarious, but a little worrying. As to the main character of this shitshow (see what I did here?..) are the two instances we observed even the same character? They even have separate music themes! Even Fozzer didn’t have that! The “uwu soft boy” or whatever people call him was boring. Still, the Valid ending was pretty sweet aside from obviously mocking me for choosing it because i’m a “delicate flower” but you know what, if the alternative’s like that 18+ part of the route, then fine, I’ll be a weenie. Because with the horny asshole Lanque I didn’t enjoy a moment of it, maybe except for the Diemen part. Everything about that guy unnerved me, from music to offering drugs to DAMMIT PUT THAT SHIRT BACK ON OR GOD HELP ME I don’t like naked tits ok that’s a personal thing… But still. Some call him a flawed character, but I like my flawed characters with, you know, at least something likable about them? No, being hot is not a redeeming quality in my book. I did not get a solid grasp on Lanque’s character. Both semi-personalities presented feel exaggerated to me. And they’re so different they don’t combine very well in my head, at least not without the asshole aspect completely overriding the other one. It’s a valid interpretation though, him being an asshole who can put on a convincing sweet act in front of certain people. However, if that’s the case, he can go fuck himself with a cactus along with Zebruh. This whole thing was more about the experience than about Lanque himself. We didn’t really befriend him in any ending. I tried really hard not to get attached to any interpretation of this character until his Friendsim is out - and boy oh boy I’m glad I did! To anyone who couldn’t do so and therefore was disappointed much more than i was - I feel your pain and I’m deeply sincerely sorry. The good thing is, this kind of writing only works in contrast with the rest of the friendsims. So even if we get something like that again in the future, it will be in small doses among much more pleasant content, that’s what I believe. Wow, this got long. I’ll get to the Soleil twins and the epilogue after a break.
