thoughts and questions about erha...

recently just finished reading through all 311 of erha again...because the last time I read erha was like 3/4 years ago I have forgotten most of the plot twists and only remembered one or two (i mean can you blame me theres probably more than 10 plot twists i cant) and all i feel right now after finishing 2 bible worth of text is...IM UNSATISFIED with the ending!!!! i need to vent!!

like im a sucker for plot twist its a riveting read!! and although the sheer amount of plot twists is a little...excessive imo, I do think theres thought behind most of it like there were glimpses of SMJ being the villain from the start and most of them have some form of foreshadowing or like gradual build up in suspense. but the last plot twist???? hUH??? wdym theres suddenly a new type of butterly bone whatever demon thats syuuuuper untraceable and unnoticeable and Mo Ran is conveniently one of them and hes brought back to life for the 26th time???? HUHHHHH???? like maybe im wrong or missed it out cus i was reading frenetically but i dont think theres a single hint or instance to suspect Mo Ran has the demon blood in him?

urgh idk anyway convenient writing aside, aside from Xue Meng I dont think many of the side characters get a neat enough bow on their ending like would love more words about YWX and SMJ especially??? like he literally disappeared after sending CWN off like??? and get 5 sentences more or less. (i havent read the 39 extras maybe theres more there, I might have the last time i read erha but i have no recollection and im not in a hurry to read them, i need a break! why are there so many extras!) and dont even get me started on that split personality thing...I hate it!

also i have 2 genuine questions about the plot i might have missed it while reading cus I was to engrossed in trying to make sense of mtl but 1) so did SMJ have a proper crush on CWN or not like...? or was it just like a little splash of quirk in character cus at first I thought like its going to play a huge part as the story unravels but it...doesnt seem like it? and speaking of SMJ 2) what happened to the other butterfly bone demons that crossed the bridge after the demon gates closed and the brudge crumbled? did they just die?? or did they somehow make it into the demon realm at the expense of HBN? the whole last fight scene is a mess to try to imagine in my head...pls enlighten me so that i minimise restless nights thinking about erha's convulted ass plot and how my baby XZM is so wronged and done dirty by the author! heartless!!

also also last one: i get irrationally VEXXED everytime i see the words "...'s adam apple bobbed" or "...'s adam apple trembled/moved/blah blah" like istg it appears EVERYTIME they even lightly brush past each other especially the middle 100 chapters wheres these 2 are like sapphically pining and yearning for each other but REFUSE to talk it out bEcAuSe ReSpEct anD lOvE ShIzuN...COUPLES THERAPY!!! AND STOP TALKING ABOUT THEIR ADAMS APPLE AND HOW IT BOBS EVERY CHAPTER ARGHHHHHHHHH

OKAY OKAY OKAY!

so hi tumblr, long time no see. im now obsessed with yellowjackets and as of lastnight have seen all the eps to air so far.  SPOILERY.. so if your not caught up... read at own risk Although a little creepy for my liking (the eye episode) im loving the show.  what im mainly obsessed with is who the antler people are.  so ive shared a bunch of posts from that scene and similar.  theory time. and please add yours too if you have some or add to mine.  Mari is the one in the pit... i was trying to find black haired girls and there are only a few. My first through was Lottie. but in recent episodes since shes embraced her visions shes become more confident and powerful which makes me think shes the leader, especially more since doomcoming.  now if i am wrong and it is lottie, then maybe its a vision of what is to come? now to the theory about how they select the next victim.  perhaps most of them voted that it will be random, and to give the person a chance they are to run? put in next to nothing and then kinda hunted.  ORRRRR there is 2 groups now. and this girl was separated and put into a hunted situation and let go and this is the results?  along with the scenes where the antler tribe get up to leave.  We already know misty is the one with the long fur drape over her face. she is to the left in the gif i posted.  If lottie is center Queen (because she has visions so Van and the others put her as leader) i think van is to the right, the face coverings the way she had it in Doomcoming maybe is done like that for a reason.  in the promo shots. I thought maybe the little brother is in that too.  I think Van will side with Lottie (the queen in my theory) and Tai is on the other team. separated by survival and a willingness to do what they need to do.  Akilah is someone i havent really factor in due to me not really remembering them in much of the story.  Now to who got out alive.  So far we see Nat, Shauna, Tai, Travis, Misty. --we know misty is on the Antler tribe, but the others...? We know Jackie gets back, according to a reddit post i read, in her journal that Shauna reads through on the birthday, there is movie references from years later. so unless someone wrote in things she might have liked years later, she likely got out of there, and either Committed Sui___, vanished off like travis did but didnt tell her folks, maybe Shauna is responsible. I dont think the little brother is alive in the future or someone would have told him about Travis (misty was all for tracking them down) ORRRRR he is the one behind the murder... (he did go to the séance late to “see what everyone is laughing about”) Shauna is my main suspect for all things odd. We have Tai with her sleeping thing thats been passed onto the son. so shes got an obvious issue.  Nat and her addiction, again, another obvious issue. Misty is all kinds of fucked up nutty, but her reasoning is she does shit so people need her and rely on her. she needs to feel needed. She might be crazy, but its again, obvious.  Shauna killed someone, she sliced into rabbits and deer and isnt too phased at all. She is the silent type you generally have to look out for, ANDDDDD she was the first to be cast and the first on the credit thing on the intro. (if im not mistaken) just makes me think she was cast first because she is secretly leading the entire story.  however it all went down. much like on lost. at the end of it all, no matter what happened while they were there, they all come together to protect eachothers secrets even if they didnt actually do anything bad. thats why even if some of the 2021 women didnt actually cross that line they are still in contact. (think of the attitude the 3 woman have in the later season episodes where they are there for eachother but really arent friendly, but still care)  --one more theory about the 2 group thing, maybe in the beginning someone went missing, groups split up to look, dead of winter, one group finds the missing person and they are dead or close to it, they figure there is no point wasting good meat and only bring back the meat, feed the other group but then its revealed how they got the meat and thats how the 2 groups part... if you have read to this point. thanks. i hope you add to my theories and share some of your own. if not then this is just a way for me to write down my throughts of the show. coz i dont know anyone else who watches it. nor becomes obsessed with shows like this. all the questions and clues to follow.  till next week when i hope they actually expand on the opening scene a bit more.

Tommy's prison/revival arc isnt well written actually

Anyways ive been wanting to talk on it a while for a bit here but havent had the Time or like. The thought to. But im gonna go off now.

First off im gonna say im ASSUMING this stream and plot of tommy being in the prison with dream is written entirely by tommy and dream. Wilbur May be involved in the latest stream but im not sure.

Bringing tommy back to life after only three days of him being dead did practically nothing to progress plot, the characters, or audience's understanding. In fact i feel that it damaged Other characters' potential and plot and already established plotlines.

The 'development' aspect

A really, really easy way to see if anything has changed or developed through an arc or plotline is to straightup just compare the 'beginning' to the 'end' in terms of the barebones situation. So;

Beginning: tommy is trapped in an isolated prison cell with dream, his own abuser who has hurt him in the past, for an unknown amount of time. He's terrified of dream and being stuck there with him.

End: tommy is trapped in an isolated prison cell with dream after being killed then revived by him, his own abuser whos hurt him in the past, for an unknown amount of time. Hes terrified of dream and being stuck there with him.

Okay. This is simplified obvious. But the point stands. ALTHOUGH the troupe of 'going back to the beginning' is common in the heroes journey its. It doesnt work here. Has tommy learned anything? Has he changed as a character? Is the severity of their situation any different? Have we, as the audience, learned anything new?

Im going to expand on that last point because i think it has the strongest potential argument. Technically for progression in literature and development of plot/characters, things can Change without them being Aware as characters. It can change just by the audience's perception changing or being challenge.

Slight example: i've been reading a webcomic called Your Throne. Its a fantasy/political drama about a noble lady who entered a competition with another noble lady to become the empress. The main lady lost despite her being a better fit, and the comic starts with the main lady trying to assassinate the empress. Its assumed and stated by the main lady that she 'ruined her life' and so thats all the readers know. However, later in the novel we see flashbacks to the competition itself and find that the two ladies were extremely close friends, neither wanting anything bad for the other, but it was the emperor himself who manipulated both of them for his own agenda. Those flashbacks gave us an entirely different idea of who the real antagonist is and completely changed the two main ladies' relationship. THAT is how the audience's understanding of the plot and novel can be used to change the entire story. We dont get such here though

Some things that were brought to light during tommy being dead/revived:

Dream is capable of reviving people infinitely

This was already implicated and assumed. The book dream has being a means of reviving people has been around Technically since schlatt's death. This just 'confirmed' what was known

Time works differently/feels longer in the afterlife

This doesnt really impact much beyond emotions and implications. If we had more insight into what the 'afterlife' is like beyond nothingness perhaps so. But really it just makes it so wilbur being dead for what feels like 9 years and tommy having been dead for 2 months appeal to emotions.

Wilbur is evil

This one fuckin sucks i cant lie HSKSHSISSGEGDV. Like i was gon go on bout it and i will but it jus sucks. We have nothing to go on besides tommy's word, no examlles of what Horrible things wilbur said could make tommy assume this, etcetc. Ill most likely make a seperate post on how this feels like we're just going to get 'wilbur is a horrible villain' type with him. But still. I feel wilbur Not Being Good isnt a new development.

Dream is going to revive wilbur

This doesnt feel new either, part because phil had wanted to revive wilbur before (ill get to that more later) and that tommy had kept dream alive/initially imprisoned him with the idea of him reviving wilbur.

Dream believes wilbur will break him out of prison

Okau this makes no sense to me actually. I cwnt understand How exactly wilbur would be able to do this? Or why dream believes he even Could? Mans been dead for like 9 years and all we Know of the afterlife is that its black... nothingness. How would 9 years of that make wilbur capable of busting the prison open?

So. Yeah. All in all this plotline hasnt done anything new, developed things, or altered people's perceptions. We just ended up back at square one. Back to tommy being traumatized, dream being 'evil' and horrible and doing villain monologues, and them being stuck together.

Other characters and plotlines

Im pretty damn sure tommy's revival fucked up a LOT of other characters' plotlines and potential development. Honestly i feel this has a lot to do with the writers not communicating with other ccs well enough. But Ill talk about specific characters from least to most fucked over in my opinion:

Sam

He's the best off. He hqd been there during tommy's death, had been close to tommy, had majorly blamed himself and his own mistakes for tommy's death. His grief and self hatred was actually really heartbreaking and well done. The attached character of Sam Nook being unaware of tommy's death and simply waiting for tommy to return was a really good parallel to sam's own grief and anger. like it really snapped sam the guy who cares for tommy and wants to do Right by him back together with him as the Warden of the prison. Mixed personal life with 'just business'.

I feel it wouldve been nice to have him like. Have more time to grieve properly and come to terms eith tommy's death and his own involvement/influence over the events. Him finding tommy alive again Could be a means of him like. Facing his own grief head on if done well.

Ranboo

Mostly in the context of him and sam's argument do i feel it got screwed over. The weight of them yelling at each other and trying to find who to blame and the implications that Maybe ranboo was the one who caused the security breach that closed down the prison on tommy just.... doesnt hit so hard anymore. Because how can there be blame and arguments and a 'who done it' mystery when tommy popped up all fine again?

Puffy

I dony know much of her involvement or how she found out tommy died (besides metagaming shhhhh) but i saw her monologuing of how they 'failed' tommy and like. Her whole 'he was so young we the Adults failed him' spiel is like........... inconsequential? Now??? Like no dont worry he died but hes alright now.

Philza

BET YOU DIDNY EXPECT TO SEE THIS FUCKER!!!!!! But actually though i want to talk bout how this ties into phil. A LOT. for Zalbr ❤. But also because i see ppl tying phil to tommy's death n like nah shutup u doin it wrong. Ill go off more in a Wilbur Post. But essentially: i dont like that dream is now going to revive wilbur. I feel they arent going to tie philza into this Despite phil having originally been trying to revive his son and studying on it and Attempting and Failing. But now suddenly dream can just. Say some magic words and Poof wilbur lives? So we're just going to Kill philza's revival attempts plotline and leave that hanging? This made his efforts seem pointless and Wack like oh why didnt you just Say The Magic Words phil????

Niki

I feel really bad for niki. She hasnt been able to do a lore stream during tommy's 'death' (she tweeted she wanted to but her computer wasnt working) and considering her entire character.... that shit is important. We seen it with Jack Manifold how tommy's death impacted Him considering he literally wanted tommy dead. And since niki is in a similar boat to jack of trying to kill tommy and it being her Only goal...... thats extremely important.

BUT. i feel there wasnt any communication. Did she or anyone even know tommy would be revived? Did no one consider they could At Least let her do a single stream on it? Like jack manifold????

We couldve gotten a Really good niki lore stream. I genuinely was so excited for it and i dont regularly watch her. But we seen it with jack manifold which is why i dont feel he got screwed because mans genuinely did So Good he could pop off with anything n i think it works in His favour. But now........ for niki. Canonically she never even knew tommy was Dead. So its like nothing even happened for her. Is she just supposed to continue on trying to kill tommy with no progression?

What i think would work

This is more me being like 'hey @ the dsmp writers let me in' type speculation sbosegussgs. But i was thinkin on a Really easy way to 'fix' this without rewriting lore and the streams.

Dream should kill tommy again now that he's been revived and Leave Him Dead.

More development for the characters who are affected by his death Especially niki. More time for grief and self reflection and development

A chance for the audience to figure out what the 'afterlife' really is.

Dream is supposed to be smart and a master manipulator or something right? Why doesnt he use being able to revive tommy as a bargaining chip with sam for his own freedom?

The audience would now Know dream's intentions with tommy better, that this death isnt 'final', but we could still see other characters' grief and reactions and coping without it feeling cheap. Ive seen some 'but people dont know tommy is alive so hes still dead in their mind' but that sucks imo.

We'd know more on dream's ability to revive people and that he can just Do It on a whim (which i think sucks but hey im trying) but no one else would know this canonically

Okay. Im done. If you read this. Thankyou. I love you. Hmu.

[icharchivist]

hello icha!!!!! learned from my mistakes and typed this out in a separate document. first i have to say im feeling a very deep connection with citron as of late bc i was giving myself a pep talk abt like physics and i told myself "face up and man the music!" and was like "...is that wrong. theres that song called man against the music isnt there... yeah it must be right" and. well i realized later. i also think the phrase "dont cry because it happened, smile because its over" is very good. also I’m halfway thru creating a very eclectic list of like. a Pokémon team for each a3 character which is… something. kinda knew it would happen to me. might take a while for me to finish it tho now that I’m halfway bc I’m suddenly having a crisis like “wait shit I’m only confident on my understanding and characterizing of like 4 characters am I good enough” so… it’s slow going lol. anyways. i finished that damn physics thing I was giving myself a pep talk about and so am treating myself to autumn/winter. happens that watching these events is also like. the only thing which reminds me to actually like. log into a3 lol. i am so bad at gacha games. probably a good thing in the long run. ok starting from the top!

hisoka going "zzz" as his reaction made me immediately go... oh dear, please dont fall asleep in the bath and guess what happened. yeah. good thing homare was there lol. speaking of i fucking adore homare and his poetry. id buy his collection. i also wish there was a collection like if there was a master list of every poem he says in like. at the very least main story. if not i will literally do it myself. i love homare so much im like him in that back when i had to play dodgeball id always be like kufufufu they cant hit me if im friendless enough that no one pays attention to me but like in my case it actually worked out. on the subject of the pillow fight tho, hisoka's crazy strong pillow fight throw... one more mark on the list for suspicious, maybe assassin occupation. this event made me realize how much i missed winter like. i saw the stranger pretty recently (which has caused the effect of be being like "taichi!! thats my boy!!" in my head everytime he shows up lol but anyways i havent gotten to a winter play yet so im VERY hype. especially bc this seems like it stars hisoka and homare??? like oh!! oh!!!! also detective fiction... im swooning. i also just enjoy the hisoka homare dynamic a whole fucking lot i think its nice how homare was like "yeah im ride or die for this funky lil amnesiac, why wouldnt you be?" and its just like. nice. feel like hes always reaching out to hisoka which is like. man homare is so nice.

back to chronology. ofc sakyo goes cheap for the hot springs lol. on brand as ever. was very hype for the azuma sakyo dynamic bc all i remember is like azuma trashing everyone including sakyo at some game or the other in one of the winter chapters and it was very good. or was this a clip in like a stage play? either way it was delightful. at first i misinterpreted taichi going "…" after azuma and sakyo said theyd never been on a field trip bc like. taichi being quiet or noncommunicative... after going thru autumn troupe act 1 it makes me fear for my life a little lol. anyways im glad he was just like planning fun times. speaking of taichi tho we got a tasuku taichi pair for etudes!!!! im not spoiling myself for later events but i hope to GOD tasuku and taichi do like a lead co lead in SOMETHING or at least like some mixed troupe event i want them to talk!!!

also dunno if this is an intentional pun but i enjoy that its called high spirits at the hot spring bc like oh theyre having fun but also bc like. "spirits" is used to refer to a certain type of alcohol i think? which is cool. dunno if its intentional but i liked that. anyways the talent show. taichis moving rendition of single ladies... ok i know it said single fellas but like. we know. wonder if that line was a different song in japanese? its not too old at ALL tho imo. anyways the way banri and juza being themselves Are the entertainment... flashback to when banri slaps juza live on stage instead of doing a stage slap lol. my reaction to azuma essentially went:

azuma: I can offer to bare my soul, and a little more ;)

izumi: what do u mean by that???

me: hey tasuku and omi were shirtless what's ur problem with azuma

anyways i reread and from what i understand they were maybe only flexing and doing a gun show? which like. no wonder it didnt last too long then lol. also explains why they didnt have shirtless sprites i suppose lmao. i am SO curious abt what azuma ended up doing tho that fade to black is so mysterious! did he tap dance? did he pole dance? the world will never know...

oh also im not like super familiar with azuma yet but my read on his personality is definitely like "I am so touch starved All The Time but I will be chill. :) :) this is fine :)" like he just seems to rly like being around people! just like basking in presence whether or not hes rly talking that much.

i enjoyed that juza mentioned pillow fighting with his lil brother... thats nice! i think a lot of this event was just focused on ppl having fun over the drama lol bc it got wrapped up sooo quick. i liked the bit where sakyos worried that izumi was out late searching for him tho it was so sweet. table tennis match was very fun although id argue calling hisoka and juza the two quietest tho lol like... banri exists so juza isnt quiet. just like inevitably. finally, the event cg!!! azumas hair tied up... so nice! thats how I tie my hair up sometimes tho it doesnt look nearly as nice lol. taichi rambling abt his first love for so long tho... lol. ill be honest i have to reread autumn bc i was not aware of this whole situation until it came up in the stranger and i like inferred from there. the end of this event was nice! it was cute. i dont rly have much thoughts on it but im so hype for the winter play

Hello:!!! so good to see you again, freshly learning from your mistakes then :3c

the connection with Citron is a BLAST to read about. I am glad that Citron is there, on your mind, supporting you at every turns of language. It's beautiful.

AND OH THE POKEMON LIST!!! thrilled to hear about it being a wip ongoing! take your time ofc and i hope you'll feel more confident as you go for your characters interpretation! i believe in you!

lmao i'm glad the events help you remember to play a3, i'm sure that by the time you'll be done with the events you will have unlocked so much of act 2 you won't have to worry too much about it. Anyway i'm glad you treat yourself to good things :3c

of course Hisoka fell asleep in the bath. tbh this event was a lot of "Hisoka almost dies in a spring house multiple times if it wasn't for his troupesmates". Between sleeping in the bath and almost swallowing the table tenis ball... where would we be without Winter, and especially Homare, taking care fo him.

I'm SO GLAD you like Homare that much! he's so so good! i'm sure there must be a masterlist somewhere, or well. can be done anytime i guess?? but yeah Homare is fantastic and LDJFDLKFJDF the evil plan to avoid dodgeball from both of you.. this is incredible DLKJFDLKF. But yeah alas he's loved by his own so he gets hit smh.

And yeah Hisoka is just acting sus huh.

BUT YEAH... YEAH... WINTER... BELOVED.... I feel regular and normal feelings for Winter as you know, s o .

(i'm so delighted that you feel that way about Taichi though, as he deserves!! what a good boy!!!)

But yeah Winter play next!!!!! i love the winter plays so much i hope you'll like it as well!! aND YEAH HISOKA AND HOMARE AS A DUO... for a DETECTIVE story?? so good.

I'm sO GLAD you like their dynamic! yeah i adore it too. Homare was so quick to leap into taking care of Hisoka? Like i mean he immediatly called him sleeping beauty when they first met, and immediately decided to be his roommates to watch over him, and then he did everything to take care of him and it's just so sweet. Homare has such a big heart he's so gentle with Hisoka. Homey and comfortable, whenever Hisoka admits it or not ahah.

ahah wouldn't be Sakyo if he didn't need to stay cheap. BUT YEAH the Sakyo/Azuma dynamic is pretty good. oh the event you talk about i think is in some of his very first backstage storyes (that you can read if you have them since they're at this point of the chronology). There's one where they play a mafia game and Sakyo is warry of Azuma because "people like him are those you need to worry about the most" and Azuma is just ":) you wound me :) i would never :)" and then Azuma wins the game and starts to mess with everyone. It was so fun. and yeah i see which clip you mean for the stage play!! it's so so fun they have such a neat dynamic and i loved to see it in this event as well.

and omg worrying about Taichi while he was just there preparing a fun time! this child really would have worried us all back then huh

but AHH YEAH TASUKU TAICHI.... It's such a neat dynamic! ofc i won't say anything but man i love the potential of their stories, as the two ex Godza boys. To see them bond and be comfortable with each other always make me so soft.

OH NICE CATCH FOR THE PUN! i think it must be the reason for it tbh, i love it! thanks for pointing it out!

The talent show was really fun yeah ahah! I wonder what it is in Japanese too but at least the localization was hella fun!

"anyways the way banri and juza being themselves Are the entertainment." THEY'RE SO SILLY I love them so much

AND LMAO YOUR REACTION AT AZUMA I LOVE IT. YEah i think Tasuku and Omi are just flexing (which is Still. SO FUNNY. Just there saying "our talents is.. our muscles...") meanwhile Azuma is like "my talent is that i'm crazy hot :)"

But YEAH Azuma... AZUMA WHAT DID YOU DO....

your read on Azuma's personality feels pretty spot on to me ahah omg. Staying with what you know about him, the fact that with his job and all, he seems like he's starving for connection while also terrified to make himself emotionally vulnerable. He loves staying with people, listening to them, caring for them, and he's touch starved as hell (i mean it's his job) but he doesn't seem to really know how to be on the receiving hand of affection. there's a flair talk, i can't remember where, with Omi at some point, where Azuma compliments him, and Omi is just "mhm.. but you know i think that it's more about you" and ends up complimenting Azuma in depth and it let Azuma dumbfounded because he didn't expect Omi to trick him at his own game, while Omi just genuinely don't get why Azuma is reacting that way. He gives he gives he gives, and he's genuinely happy with that, but he seems to have difficulties to take, or to demand for something, while also starving for it. I have so many emotions for Azuma.

Any mentions of Juza's little bro are the best things. I love this type of mention TwT

And yeah it was such a laid back event. Honestly deserved after the crying fest that was The Stranger imo. It's good to relax once in a while and it was nice to have them have fun. There was the bitterness of both Azuma and Sakyo's past that was always a bit looming but everyone was working so hard for them to enjoy themselves that the joy just overtake any sadness i loved it.

Sakyo worrying about Izumi is always adorable TwT

And yeah the Table Tennis match was so fun and chaotic LMAO. I love the dynamic between Juza and Hisoka. Just two usually quiet boys who like sweets. Except that yeah like you say, as long as Banri is around, Juza cannot be 100% quiet. Rip.

THE CG WAS SO PRETTY i loved seeing it. And omg you can share your hairtips with Azuma how nice :D Azuma manages to make everything look beautiful smh....

Oh yeah Taichi and his first love! if i recall he mentions it quickly at the begining, that Yuki reminds him of his first love, and he says that again at some point - then the fake Portrait he does he mentions his first love again. And since then it's been a reccuring topic so yeh :3c

but yeah! this event was really sweet and laid back, not much to say about it, but it was nice to have it at all!

Hope you'll like the winter play :3c

Take care and thank you again for your thoughts <33 i love reading them!! bless you!!

[rawmeknockout]

since i havent discussed my thots for a while lets get into that

so im a little conflicted on the way some bots got a redemption arc from idw while others (starscream for ex) didnt really,,, get to be the “hero” while alive; now i guess you could boil that down to their personalities and motivations, Star has always been very arrogant and power driven so it makes sense for his arc to be focused on that but throughout his storyline he changes in some ways while also just,,,, dying at the end

whereas characters like Drift and Cyclonus, former Decepticons, change their motivations (in Cyc’s case i suppose he never considered himself a true Con but i mean come on) and are proven to be better more benevolent people but,,, do they deserve it just because they change?

juxtaposed with Megatron who is still an asshole, just tired and played more for laughs or to move the plot, and lead a massive genocide, gave a half assed apology, and ‘ended the war’ but theres still so many repercussions from his actions (like the DJD) that dont just go away bc he says hes tired of fighting and just wants to not die now

im sure other people would have more concise better analyses of these characters than i ever could and add more detail that they noticed, but compared to what they did and who they were do they really deserve redemption? Drift and Cyclonus may have just been the minions under Megatron but that doesnt erase what they chose to do and who they chose to fight for

ofc in the comic theyre the heroes/protagonists that we root for so the whole plot would want you to say that everyone deserves a chance to change and thats really a major part of the storyline, redemption and regret and rising above who you once were but like

going back to the backstory of what happened, what they did during the war, do they deserve it? obviously i guess it doesnt matter theyre on a ship far far from any real consequences and all the mechs back on Cybertron seem content to just forget about them but thats why i focused this rant thing on specifically Drfit, Cyclonus, and Megatron (with Starscream ofc) bc those are the ones we follow and the ones we have context for to compare them to each other)

im ofc not the first to bring this up theres tooooons of discussions and people unsatisfied with how Megatron ended up just getting away with everything, but i wouldnt put that focus solely on him bc although he was the tyrant and icon of the Decepticon faction he wouldnt have been able to do anything if there weren’t powerful mechs fighting for his cause and destroying entire civilizations for him

to bring this back to Starscream, Megatron’s second in command, who was ofc just as bad as the rest for different reasons, he just got death; sure it was an honorable death and he saved Cybertron in the end which really showed what he was willing to do as a leader but it just,,, idk kind of feels shitty bc he wanted to be adored and loved and maybe for the wrong reasons but everyone else just gets to have relationships and a happy ever after traveling space (in the alternate timeline ofc in the one we followed they,,, well) with friends

TO END THIS FINALLY im perfectly content most of the time to just ignore the war and think about the shenanigans of the characters i love but i think totally erasing what theyve done and who they were simplifies them to the point theyre no longer the characters with the depth and intrigue that i love so much

[princessselene126]

Hey yall, emotional abuse, physical pain (not self harm, just illness pain), brief mention of periods, and shitty parents tws coming up.

So i generally try to keep my personal life off here unless I won’t be posting for a while and want to let you know why (like i did with my ear infection.), but I’m having a really bad week and a half and desperately need to vent. Feel free to completely ignore this because I don’t expect anyone to respond, I just need to get everything off my chest--although any suggestions as to what the fuck I should do are more than welcome.

My dad and stepmom have been controlling any emotionally abusive for pretty much my entire life--because you know, abuse doesn’t just start randomly and it’s not something that you can easily fix.

Anyway. When I went home for my ear infection, my stepmom got kinda mad about it. Mad might be the wrong word, controlling is probably better. I didnt tell her or my dad that I was coming home to see the doctor for a few reasons:

I knew if I told them, they’d tell me i should tough it out and go to class

They’d say that i was being over dramatic and that it couldn’t possible hurt that bad

They’d ask why I couldn’t have seen a doctor in Milwaukee (where my college is and 1.5 hours from home), why I needed to come home for something like that.

So I didn’t tell them. While I was home my stepmom texted me asking how I was doing. At the time she didn’t know I had an ear infection or that I was home, so of course like the idiot I am, I was honest and told her I came home sunday night. Seriously I think honesty is my fatal flaw. She, of course, asked why and I told her that “I cant think right now, let alone take a bus somewhere I’ve never been before. I tried to get into the dr at school, but they dont have any openings until wednesday.” I was able to get into my doctor at home on monday, two full days before I would have been able too at school, so it seems logical that id go home right? I couldnt hear out of my right ear anyway, so it’s not like I would have been able to pay attention in class and actually learn anything. 

She drops it or that day.

But my stepmom, being my stepmom, of course texts me back a few days later (fthursday or friday i think) because she thinks that I should have tried harder to find a doctor here. She said, and I fucking quote this entire goddamn text 

Hey so I just want to clarify with you ... you could have gone to a dr there you know? You guys didn’t have to come all the way home and back. good lord. Just find a clinic thats an urgent care or er. you might have had to pay more out of pocket, but so what? And you have 2 insuraces, so that wouldve helped more too. Just saying. So I thought I’d let you know instead of doing all that craziness back and forth. Make it easier on yourself next time kiddo.

And this has me fucking livid because:

I literally explained to her why I didn’t find someone in Milwaukee days before. 

She’s insinuating that it’s too inconvenient for my mom to come get me.

And my stepdad had off on tuesday, so he gladly took me back too school. No questions asked. No complaints. He even bought my antibiotics for me (which I was totally prepared to pay the $10 for myself) before we left.

She’s talking down to me as if I had no idea that I could do this.

I can’t afford to pay more out of pocket right now, even if I might (read: MIGHT) get reimbursed for it later.

Going home literally WAS making it easier on myself.

So I send a screenshot of this text to my mom of course, and she replies almost immediately just going off. My mom and I havent always had the best relationship (she has some emotionally abusive habits too, but she knows about most of them, acknowledges them, and tries her best to fix them), but I know that she will always be there for me. She’s that person who will drive an hour and a half just to come make sure someone is okay, and she has done so 2-3 times in my 2 years at college. She doesn’t care if I’m 45 and living on the other side of the country, she will drive or by a plane ticket to hep me if/when need it. So my mom is beyond pissed off that my stepmom would ever imply that coming to get me, take care of me, is an inconvenience.

I reply a simple “i know” to my stepmom, because I know better than to give her a long winded explanation. She’ll just come back at me with an even longer block of text basically telling me how wrong/stupid i was to not just see a dr in the area.

And of course, of fucking course, she replies with a long block of text anyway basically telling me the same fucking thing. She does this several times and I keep doing the “i know” “yeah” “okay” thing because I just didn’t have the fucking ENERGY you guys. 

But then she says 

my goodness you’re a peach sometimes. Just trying to help and maybe you guys didn’t think of that. 

So by this point in time my patience was completely GONE. I have absolutely none left. I know when my stepmom calls me a peach it’s just her “nice” way of saying “you’re being a fucking bitch.” ((Keep in mind this entire time I was taking screenshots and sending them to my mom so she could be mad with me.)) And so I fucking went off in the nicest way possible. I tell her

no, you’re trying to be in control of the situation that had absolutely nothing to do with you

I was going to just try going to a dr the next morning, but then my mom called and I was crying and she asked if I wanted to come home, so I said yes. It wasn’t an inconvenience to her, though it feels like you’re trying to make it seem that way. And [stepdad] had off so he was easily able to take me back.

I’m not an idiot, im an adult fully capable of doing things myself. But i also recognized that I needed help and accepted it when my mom noticed I did as well

Because yes. I was in so much pain that I was actually crying from it. I usually have a decent pain tolerance (horrific period cramps will do that to a person), but for some reason whenever I say that I’m genuinely in pain my stepmom never seems to think it could be “that bad.” And... that’s exactly how that went. I was soooo prepared to just tough it out and wait until Wednesday if I absolutely had to. But then my mom called and I may be 20 years old but there are those times when you’re an adult and you just need your parent. You need your parent to tell you it’s going to be okay. You need your parent to hold and comfort you. You need your parent to take you to the dr. And for me this was one of those times. I so very rarely ask for help but this time i needed it, and there’s no reason for my stepmom (or anyone) to make me feel like I should be ashamed of that.

So she said something brief to that and I didn’t reply back. Ne next moring she sends me another text starting off with something along the lines of “I’m hurt by how you treated me last night...” and I didn’t read the rest because I knew it would make me mad. I did, however send a screenshot to my mom again.

The next day I call both my mom and my paternal grandma to talk about this entire conversation.

My mom thinks that I should cut off ties with them for at least a few months because this has been overwhelming me so much. I agree with her, but I’m concerned about my younger siblings (not that they’ll get hurt or anything, but that I won’t be able to see them) and also my aunt is getting married in may.

And my grandma was livid too. She’s never liked my stepmom because she’s always thought that she’s treated me like shit. (For a long time i mistakenly believed that my stepmom was a better person than my mom, but I was an impressionable child/teenager then). My grandma and I talked about times when stepmom made me feel bad about myself or treated me as lesser than my half siblings. And my grandma agrees that I should keep my distance, but she asked me to not cut ties, and to keep a decent amount of peace, until after my aunt’s wedding.

Which I understand. I get it. I love my aunt a lot and I truly dont want to cause any problems at her wedding, she deserves the world. But at the same time I don’t know how much longer I can take this you guys. I’m supposed to go to a water park for a night with my dad, stepmom, and siblings during my spring break (it was a christmas present from my dad to the family) and I’m absolutely dreading it. I don’t want to go. My mom says I should just lie and say I have to work, but again, fatal flaw here is honesty, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that. I want to see my siblings too, but I really need to start taking care of myself.

I’ve spent far too long worrying about my family even after not living at home for the last two years. I need to take care of myself. I do. But I honestly don’t know how to do that without causing a family feud in the process.

And the reason this was all triggered again today (after not having talked to anyone on my dad’s side since saturday) is because I got a call from a random number while I was in class today. It was a call from my home city and whoever it was left a voicemail. In the back of my mind I started worrying that it was my dad and that he wanted to talk me into not being upset with my stepmom (he’s a terrible person too but that’s a rant for a different day).

I have yet to listen to it because the idea of talking about this with him makes me nauseous. At the same time, not knowing who called is making me overwhelmingly anxious. I don’t know what would be best:

Ignoring the voicemail, or listening to it and potentially having to talk to my dad?

Toughing out being around my family until after the wedding, or risk causing a family feud by cutting ties?

I just... I’m so lost you guys.

Dan Watches: Star Wars: Episode I -The Phantom Menace

So.. I got the idea of writing my thoughts up as I go basically as they get to the Gungan city so.. i’ll try and remember my thoughts before that and then I’ll do it kinda live. Under the cut cus long. 

Alright.. So the opening crawl was very.. politics which to be honest as i’ve got older I actually kind of enjoy that side of Star Wars but it doesn’t really add anyhting to the actual film because I think everything thats in it could be picked up by just watching the film. 

I kinda like the battle droids.. weird soft spot for them. I like the big ship ones too and Droidekas i thought were the coolest shit ever when i was a kid and i stand by that. 

I’m not all that bothered by the racial stereotypes because like.. i’m not the races they’re sterotyping but i can see why it’d be problematic.

Jar Jar isn’t as annoying as everyone makes him out to be.. don’t get me wrong.. he’s annoying.. but he’s not cancer. 

Aesthetically the Gungan City is pretty cool, giant underwater bubble city.. i bet there’s cool fan art of it somewhere. 

Alright now we’re live.. The duck things the Gungans ride are weird. 

Do Gungans like JarJar eventually become the giant Green guy? .. I googled apparently they’re just two different races of Gungan despite looking like totally different Aliens.

It’s nice that all races are like “Life debt? Oh yeah thats a legit thing.”

Gungans speak like English or Common or.. i forget the Star Wars term.. Basic? is their second language.. but it isnt. 

Yooo Qui Gon just made JarJar go to sleep using the force.. Why is Force Sleep not a thing in more stuff... gotta keep an eye out for that now. 

Naboo is pretty.

Padme is so extra, she’s in her iconic red dress that’s already extra as fuck and then sees that she’s been captured and is like “Alright.. but first.. wardrobe change!” and then shows up in some black number. I’m not sure if at this point she’s actually Padme or if Padme is pretending to be one of her servants now but either way she had a costume change and nobody questions it so she must be having costume changes all the time. 

When Qui Gon force pushes two battle droids theres a really weird sound effect that sounds like it belongs in a mario game. 

Pretty sure Padme is the handmaid now and this new Queen should take the opportunity to be like “Yoo peace out bitches.” Then we get Keira Knightley’s adventures in Star Wars.

Also who was she before this swaparoo? Was she a handmaid and just suddenly got promoted to queen? Like she could be saying all sorts of shit. I know she gets revealed later on but think of how much she could do whilst Padme is away. 

The first words ever spoken to R2 in Star Wars, chronologically, (although inderectly) are “Hello Boyos”. Just sit with that. 

The first words spoken to him directly are “How rude.” which seems about right tbf with how sassy he is. 

Darth Maul is awesome. 

Keira Knightly or Sabe (I looked it up) is like “Yo actual queen, clean that droid!” i think she just wanted to feel more powerful than the actual queen there, little power trip. 

Nice Poncho Qui Gon. Cal approves. 

I wonder how long Padme took to convince the others to let her go off alone with Qui Gon and Jar Jar and R2 (Dunno why R2 joins them?) on a planet thats ruled by the Hutts

I kinda like Watto.. not as a person.. he just amuses me.

Kinda cool that Anakin can speak Huttese, wish he spoke it more often.. just cursing in Huttese as Obi Wan tries to teach him stuff. 

“Are you an Angel.” Smooooth kid. Smoooth, you’re gonna get with her. Despite her being way older than you. They couldn’t have just made him the same age as her? 

Toydarians should be used for more things, especially involving force users. 

Anakin. The slave. Is like “Here Qui Gon, you’ll like this food.” and he’s just like “Cheers” and pockets it for later. Dude. Try it. 

I really hope they do go into more High Republic stuff next, give me a Destiny-type game where you play as a Jedi with your mates. 

Quigons like “You must have Jedi reflexes to race pods” Then he catches Jar Jars tongue in a blink of an eye and Anakins like “You’re a Jedi Knight aren’t you?” And Qui-Gon is like “What makes you think that?” ...? .. You just fucking.. God damn it Qui-Gon. 

Anakin: “No one can kill a Jedi”. Palpatine: “Hold my Blue milk.”

I feel like im becoming fluent in Gungan broken basic which is worrying. 

Anakins mom whos name i’ve literally just forgot is like “He was meant to help you.” ... bitch.. what? Why does nobody question that? 

WHY DOES JAR JARS MOUTH MOVE WITH OTHER PEOPLES LINES!? ... Darth Jar Jar.  #PlagueisTheWiseWasAGungan. I mean not rly but seriously.. that would have been a really cool plot twist. 

Jar Jar got numbed and got his hand stuck.. so like.. perhaps not.. otherwise you’re playing a little too dumb mate. 

The look of worry from Shmi, good stuff. 

The two Headed announcer speaking basic and Huttese is pretty smart like, the one doing one and the other doing the other. 

What the fuck is Clegg Holdfast?

What the fuck are any of these races? Like.. where are these races throughout the rest of the franchise? 

Crazy that lightly bending that one part of the podracer can fuck it up so bad. 

Who the fuck is that other Hutt? Oh yeah I’m watching the like updated version with Geroge Lucas’ “Fixes” in it. Probably should have said that earlier. 

I cant remember if this is true but I’m pretty sure Qui-Gon knows Padme is the Queen and is just fucking with her at this point. 

Man Pod Racing is cool, fuck whoever says it isnt. 

Gimmie an updated Pod Racing ps4 game.

What the fuck is that long thin alien thats selling food to the crowd? Gimmie a Jedi version of him. 

Havent commented in a while because i just kept watching it tbh.

Coruscant looks cool. Still want more High Republic stuff. 

What the fuck is that driver alien, he looks in pain to exist. 

“There is no civility, there is only politics” The Chancellor code. 

Is it too late to call a vote of no confidence on Palpatine? 

I see you there in the background Yaddle. Get it girl. 

Fuck me the added extra of this long neck ass Jedi Master is so distracting. 

Where Jaro Tapal at tho?

You’d think after Padme’s like “Surprise bitch it’s me” moment coming up the Jedi would be like “Well shit.. maybe we’re less aware of things than we think... Yoda.. are you just a short human painted green?” 

Amedala... So extra with these outfits. I get that she’s a Queen but Jesus. 

Eyyyyyyyyyyyy it’s ET. 

Qui-Gon is such a bad boy. 

I kinda get why Jedi take kids when they’re really young, so they can’t remember their parents so they aren’t constantly worried about their parents and then fall to the dark side... doesn’t make it any nicer though. 

My vote went to Bail Antilles. 

To be fair not training Anakin could have been very bad. He could have like gone even more Darkside and Palpatine could swooped in and trained him himself completely. 

Maul is barely in this but fuck is he still cool. 

You know what I don’t hate Midichlorians. They’re just like atoms that stick to certain people and thats what gives them access to the force, it doens’t really change anything it’s just a scientific explination. 

You know what.. During the middle of the film, Jar Jar keeps his mouth shut and just lets people get on with it, that’s alright. 

How old is Obiwan supposed to be in this film? 

A little more variation in these creepy ass gungans would be nice. 

Damn the Viceroy and the other guy are huge or Maul is smol. 

Love that Gungan dindgeridoo horn thing. 

I also love the giant bubble shields. 

Are they watching a Star Wars battle tactics pc game on that screen?

Fuck The Darth Maul fight is badass. 

I don’t buy Anakin at all, he wants to fly out there and get involved, the little shit. 

Quigon doesnt even flip when he jumps, he’s just like “I’m too old for this shit.”

Yeah R2 is like “Go back” and Anakins like “Naaa fuck that”... Tut tut. Boys gonna be trouble.

The way Maul stalks back and forth the other side of that barrier like a Sith Tiger.. Good shit. 

Aaaaand Quigon is dead. RIP. 

“Now This is Pod Racing.”.. It’s not though is it? 

Nice to have something blow up and actually have debris instead of just all being gone completely. 

Anddd there goes Maul to go get robot spider legs and then be found by his bro Savage. 

Why do you wanna bring balance to the force anyway if it’s currently so one sided favouring the light side? Surely bringing balance is a bad thing at that point. 

Yoda’s already soooo old. 

Alright so they know there’s a Sith out there and the guy is still just like right next to them and they don’t know. Tut. 

That Jedi behind Mace Windu at the end looks intimidating as shit. 

Padme, he’s a kid, calm yourself down woman. You predator. 

Alright.. Film done. 10/10 Best movie ever. Naa tbh I enjoy the prequels more than most, obviously if you’ve stuck with me this long you know that but it clearly has its flaws.. still.. I enjoyed it! Feel free to ask me my opinions on specific things if you want.  Also shamelessly gonna plug my two star wars muses Cal and Savage here, rp with me you cowards. Also I’m down to star wars verse any of my other characters, literally any of them, i have ideas for all.

Brewing a Wolfsbane Potion (Hogwarts Mystery Imagine - Werewolf reader x Penny Haywood)

Masterlist  (To view my Masterlist, visit my Tumblr page)

Request: Can I request a reader x Penny fic where the reader is a werewolf in need of some wolfsbane potion?

A/N: I really like the idea of the reader being a werewolf, especially because Penny is afraid of werewolves after her friend was murdered by one. Maybe I could write another part of this, because I think Penny would probably have to get more used about the reader being a werewolf (especially once they are dating)

Words: 2126

_________________________________________________

You have managed to keep it hidden from everyone else pretty well. Only a few people knew about your condition. You just needed to get away from everyone during the full moon. It was something you learnt to live with. No one thought it was suspicious you were gone during the full moon. All your friends thought you were just busy with the Cursed Vaults whenever you were gone, even during the night. Rowan did suspect something was up, but they never asked about it. They also thought it had to do something with the Cursed Vaults and just was concerned about you whenever you were gone. Dumbledore had been kind enough to give you Wolfsbane potions a week before the full moon. You had been grateful. You expected Snape would know about your condition as well, thinking he brew the potions. He never said a word about it though. You were grateful though. Wolfsbane potions are quite expensive. Besides that, being a werewolf was problematic. If people knew about it, they would judge you. You couldn’t help it you were attacked by a werewolf once. You were bitten and they just couldn’t cure it. You would just have to live with it.

You were carrying a bag with the potion for a later today. You were minding your own business until someone bumped into you. Your eyes widened when your bag fell on the ground. You could hear the potion shatter. You cursed under your breath. “Watch where you are going, Y/L/N.” Of course, it just had to be Merula you bumped into. “Maybe you should watch where you are going Snyde…” You said seriously. “You were the one who was daydreaming.” She said. “Oh, I suppose you couldn’t take a step aside then.” You said, frowning. “The great Merula feels too good to take a step aside.” You hissed at her. She blinked. “Whatever…” She said and then she signed to Ismelda to come along with her. You kept glaring at Merula until she was out of sight. You picked up your bag and sighed. You were fucked… You weren’t just going to tell Dumbledore ‘Hey, Merula bumped into me and the Wolfsbane potion shattered’. No, you needed to fix this yourself… Maybe you could brew it yourself? No, that is a quite advanced potion, you haven’t even got that far… You could ask someone… Although it would be suspicious to ask for that… Although, you were desperate. You needed the Wolfsbane potion, otherwise you would lose control over yourself when you transformed.

 There was just one person you could ask… Although, you knew she didn’t like werewolves at all. She was basically traumatized by one. Her friend was murdered by a werewolf. This wasn’t going to be fun, you knew that… Although, she was your only hope at this point. You needed to talk to Penny about this in private. You took a deep breath and decided to look for her. Maybe it would be good to tell someone as well? No one knew after all. Yeah, you tried to be positive about this, but it was hard.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Penny was standing there with some other Hufflepuffs. She seemed to be chatting happily. Good Merlin, she looked pretty cute when she was happy. She definitely was one of your best-looking friends, you were sure about that. She also was very kind, but definitely not fearful for a lot of things. She was always happy to help you out when you needed help, maybe, just maybe, she would be happy to help now as well. You approached her and gave her a smile. “Hey Penny, can I talk to you?” You asked. “Oh, hey Y/N.” She greeted. “Sure, where shall we talk?” She asked. “Somewhere private if you don’t mind.” You said. Penny looked at the two other Hufflepuffs. “I will talk to you two later.” She said. The two Hufflepuff nodded and said their goodbyes. After that, you and Penny began walking somewhere more private. You ended up in the Artefact room. It was the most private place to be now.

 “What do you want to talk about?” Penny asked when you two were alone. “I wanted to ask for your help.” You said seriously. “Oh, with the Cursed Vaults.” She asked. You shook your head. “No, it is something else, something really complicated.” You said. She blinked. What could be more complicated than the Cursed Vaults? She was sure this was something more personal. “Penny, I’m going to warn you though. It might not be pretty to hear this.” You said, glancing away a little. “It can’t be that bad, can it?” She asked. “It is pretty bad, believe me.” You told her. “No other student or friend knows about this.” You said. “So, the professors know?” She asked. You nodded. “A few of them know.” You said. “All right, I suppose this is something hard to understand, so I will try my best.” She said. “How… how familiar are you with brewing a Wolfsbane potion…?” You asked. “A Wolfsbane potion? I can brew it, but why would you ne-….”

 Penny’s eyes widened, realizing what you meant. “You… Are you really…?” “A werewolf, yes…” You said honestly. “But… but how?” She asked. “I was attacked by one and I ended up being infected. It’s incurable.” You said honestly. “So, you never told anyone else about this…? Not even Rowan?” She asked. You shook your head. “It’s not something I should tell anybody. You can already imagine what parents would say if they heard a werewolf attends Hogwarts.” You said honestly. “Do you get a Wolfsbane potion from Dumbledore? Well, probably from Snape.” She said. “Yes, every week prior to a full moon I get a Wolfbane potion every day.” You told her. “So, why do you want me to brew it for you. “Well… I bumped into Merula and my bag dropped. It shattered in my bag…” You said, rubbing the back of your head. “Please Penny, could you brew it for me? I don’t want to lose control during the full moon. I really don’t want to hurt anyone.” You said, almost begging for her help.

 “Of course, I will brew it for you!” Penny said. “I mean, I don’t want you to lose control during the full moon. I know how dangerous a werewolf can be after all…” She said honestly. “Yeah… That’s why I thought it would be hard to ask you… It is quite a sensitive topic after all…” You said softly. She gave you a small smile and placed a hand on your shoulder. “If I can help you to keep control over your own form, then I’m glad to help you out.” She said honestly. “I mean, you were not the same werewolf who attacked Scarlett.” She said, frowning a little when she remembered that event. She shook her head a little and gave you a smile. “Well, let’s go to the potion classroom. I’m pretty sure it is empty now.” She said, grabbing your hand. She basically dragged you out of the Artefact room. She didn’t talk the whole way to the Potions classroom. She didn’t want to talk out loud about what she just heard. She wasn’t going to tell anyone about this. She wouldn’t be a good friend if she did tell anyone.

 Once you two were in the Potions Classroom she told you to get certain ingredients. You grabbed what she said and just helped her a little by getting her the things she needed to brew the potion. You knew it was important the Wolfsbane potion was brewed perfectly, otherwise it wouldn’t have any effect on you. You just watched Penny working hard on brewing the potion. It really took quite a while before Penny was done. “Ta-da! Here you go, one freshly brewed Wolfsbane potion. You should probably take it now. That way we can be sure Merula can’t bump into you again.” She said, handing you the potion. “Thanks Penny, you are the best.” You said before you slowly took the potion. The potion was disgusting, but it was worth it. “I heard it really tastes bad.” Penny said. “I suppose my face was making it obvious as well.” You said with a grin. “Very obvious.” She said. “If you don’t mind. Can you tell me if the potion has worked after the full moon? I mean, I’m not a Potions master yet. I think I did it perfectly, but you never know.” She said. “I will tell you about it.” You told her.

Thank goodness… The full moon was over and you wouldn’t have to deal with it for another month. You had full control over yourself after you transformed. From a secret source you heard the Shrieking Shack was a safe place to transform. People wouldn’t come there anyways. They all thought the place was haunted. You were grateful for whoever sent you that information. Madam Pomfrey seemed to know about the place as well. Even though you could use Wolfsbane potions, it was probably better to be as far as possible from other people. You didn’t want to risk it after all.

 You began looking for Penny, wanting to tell her the potion she brewed worked as well. If one potion failed, the others would fail as well. You spotted Penny near her common room in the Dungeons. You walked over to her with a smile. “It worked.” You told her. She looked at you and then she began smiling as well. She basically jumped towards you to give you a hug. She had her arms wrapped around your neck. “I’m really glad!” She said honestly. “I was worried I might did something wrong.” She said. “No, it worked just fine, it was an easy night.” You told her honestly. “That’s good.” She said honestly. “Also, I was thinking… I know about this, but wouldn’t it be time to tell our other friends?” She asked. You grimaced a little. “I don’t know… I mean, it isn’t something to really share….” You said honestly. “Y/N, they are your friends, they will understand.” She said honestly. “If it makes you feel better, I can be there to support you.” She said. “Please Y/N. I’m sure it will be for the best. You can’t hide this forever for them.” She said. You sighed and then you nodded. “I suppose you are right…” You said. “That doesn’t mean I will do it now.” You said. “Maybe, once the next full moon is getting near again… It might make more sense if I do it then.” You said.

 Penny took a step back and took one of your hands. “I’m sure it will turn out all right.” She said honestly, squeezing your hand lightly. “Just tell them like you told me. That way, it won’t be too direct.” She said. “I suppose I could think up something to tell them.” You said. “Great.” She said. “I was about to go to the Great Hall, care to join me?” She asked with a sweet smile. “Sure, I would love to join you.” You said honestly. She smiled, still holding your hand when you walked with her towards the Great Hall. You blinked a little, wondering why she was still holding your hand. You didn’t mind it. No, you actually enjoyed her holding your hand. Her hand was soft and warm. You wouldn’t mind holding her hands more often. You softly squeezed her hand. She blushed slightly when you did that, realizing what she was doing.

 “Oh Merlin, I’m sorry… I didn’t realize I was still holding your hand.” She said, about to let go of your hand. “It is fine. I actually like it.” You told her. She was surprised. “Really?” She asked. You nodded. “Yeah, I like it when you hold my hand.” You said honestly, blushing a little. “I suppose I can do it more often then.” She suddenly said. You blinked. Did you hear that right? “You would?” You asked. “Well, yeah. I mean I like holding your hand.” She said. “Maybe I even would like to do more than just holding hands?” She said, blushing more. “Oh really? Like what?” You decided to ask with a smirk, although you were still blushing. She stopped walking and then she turned to look at you. She slowly took a step closer and then she pecked your lips softly with a small grin on her face. You began blushing more. That was a bold move… A really bold move. “Does that mean you like me, even with my condition?” You asked. “I thought the move I just made, made it all clear.” She said with a wink.

 Merlin, this girl is amazing….

[little-misses-lee]

This past year has been one huge fuck you.

I went into 2018 with my Cluster Headaches, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction and Trigeminal Neuralgia as well as some unwelcome new symptoms.

So along came more medications, the controlled drugs, the questions and odd looks in the pharmacy. But no diagnosis. Just questions.

Is she crazy? Is she a drugseeker?

No. I believe I have eventually found doctors that can see my pain.

March comes and everything was painfully normal until the morning I woke up and something felt wrong.

I had a dead leg, atleast thats what I thought it was so I waited. And after 20 minutes I realised it wasnt right and pretty soon was waiting for an ambulance and feeling terrified.

At the hospital I kept smiling but knew something was wrong with me, something has been wrong with me for a long time. And now I cant move my leg. Not even wiggle a toe. Being transferred in the middle of the night and nurses giving each other glances they think I cant see, 'its quite possible its MS or a stroke".

I was 26. And some days later a neurologist is telling me that "the signals going from my brain to my leg are being lost or confused somewhere along the way. It may go completely back to normal but some people stay the same for 25 years."

I was not going to spend 25 years this way. I sat there for days just thinking over and over again about moving my leg, twitching my toe, anything. Over and over. Eventually my muscles started to move when I was making conscious thoughts, then I could move my toe although uncontrolled. After a while I could slightly bend my knee and then I was going home. I was wheeled out of hospital with still no real meaningful use of my leg. In bed for weeks having to drag myself across the floor just to get to the bathroom where I would be so exhausted I would collapse in a heap on the floor and just cry.

But I fought.

I worked through my physiotherapy and I got better. And the first time I really left the house was to go and see Blue October in Concert. I was determined to stand there at the rail and I did.

So I can walk but I remain using a crutch but considering what could have been I have no right to complain.

The year moved on and my symptoms worsen. I am constantly fatigued to such an extent that I had to brush my teeth in bed, eat meals in bed, spent countless hours exhausted but suffering horrific insomnia.

My life consisted of working when I was well enough and sleeping to avoid my body crashing so badly that I couldn't get up again for weeks.

I felt void of any purpose or value. I was so depressed that I completely lost myself along the way.

Eventually I had spent weeks in a state, I couldnt eat or drink without vomitting, my weight was dropping rapidly and I was in so much pain.

And I went for an Upper GI Endoscopy. A routine procedure under sedation. A sedation to which my body had a severe reaction to. The medication? Maybe. But they believe my body just couldnt cope, I was unconscious for about 10 hours, coming round later in Resus having just given up.

After scans and trial medications etc I finally got a diagnosis in August, "we are going to start treating you for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Fibromyalgia."

I have seen what M.E and fibro have done to lives and I was devastated. But I was determined that I wasnt going to feel defeated. I was going to find me again, I was going to enjoy life and it was going to mean something.

I had been promised so many things, a house, kids.

Then 2 days later my partner of 8 years left me. With no look of sorrow or guilt in his eyes. He doesnt love me and hasnt loved me for a long time. And there was me excited to start moving forward.

I was completely floored.

8 years of being completely dedicated to someone and they can leave you without them suffering any form of emotion. Or was there hatred for me? I will never know.

But how the fuck was I going to do this on my own. I had work colleagues help me pack up the last 8 years of my life from his to move out.

I felt like I had been dropped in the middle of the desert with nothing.

It was soon pretty evident that I was completely on my own and my best friend was gone. And to this day I havent heard a single word from him. I thought I couldn't be without him. But I did it and I did it with grace and dignity and I am stronger than him.

And to finish the year my dad has been diagnosed with a cancer in the brain and we are now watching him undergo treatment.

So we spent christmas day yesterday in hospital.

Now its boxing day and I am so floored.

My health feels like its taking a nose dive. My cluster headaches, trigeminal neuralgia and TMD are flaring up and im stuck in bed on Oxygen with injections by my side praying for it to stop.

My painkillers were stopped and I am now reliant on off license drugs such as Cymbalta and Lyrica, Amitriptyline. They have given me painkiller patches which are not helping.

My insomnia is currently so bad that I am a serious health risk and dissociation is a massive issue.

So 2018 had been a huge shit show but I have survived. And, my god, have I been challenged and have I learnt some amazing things about myself.

I will be going into another year with more symptoms, is it the conditions? The medications? I dont know but I am ready to fight again. With the knowledge that I am capable of getting through the worst without people I thought I couldnt live without and that I am so much better for it.

I may go into 2019 feeling a mess but in February I will stand at the rail at the Blue October concert and feel strong. And everything will be okay if only for a night.

THE MOMENT I REALIZED

I AM EMPTY. MY FEELINGS VANISHED FROM MY BODY. THERE’S NOTHING LEFT OF ME.

I WANT TO FEEL BUT I DONT. I LISTEN BUT I DONT HEAR. I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND.

I WANT TO SCREAM BUT I DONT HAVE THE VOICE. I WANT TO CRY, BUT I CAN’T AS THERES NOTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THEM TO DROP BY DROP DOWN MY FACE. I KNOW I WAS HURT BUT I WAS HURT SO MANY TIMES THAT I AM EMPTY NOW. THERE SHOULD BE PAIN BUT THERE ISNT. THERE SHOULD BE HATE BUT THERES IS NO HATE IN ME. HAPPINESS, THAT ALSO LEFT ME LAST NIGHT.

I AM SIMPLE BOY IN MY TWENTIES BUT NOW I FEEL MY LIFE HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF MY FIRST HEARTBREAK BUT BECAUSE OF EVERY FUCKING HURTFUL HATEFUL THING I HAVE HEARD BEEING THROWN AT MY FACE. DISRESPECT COMES MY WAY EVERYDAY. MAYBE. JUST MAYBE. IS THAT ME, IS THAT MY FAULT, DID I CAUSED THIS ?

•HEARTBREAK•

SOMETIME AGO I FELT MY HEART IS STONE COLD AND DEAD. IT JUST PUMPS MY BLOOD AND THAT’S IT. I WAS TEACHING MYSELF TO LOVE, AND CREATE SOMETHING FAKE. AS YEARS OVER THE YEARS PEOPLE DID SOME CRAZY THINGS AND I FELT LONE AND DOWN. BUT I DID MY BEST.

ONE DAY I JUST DECIDED TO SEE WHERE COULD A PRETTY FACE PUT ME. MAYBE WILL TELL ME THAT I AM NOTHING AND JUST MY LOOKS DOESNT FIT THE NEEDS. i was wrong.

BOY WHO THOUGHT HIM SELF TO BE SOMEONE AND NEVER LISTEN TO ANYONE. AS TILL NOW PEOPLE ONLY HURT ME.

I FEEL IN LOVE THE MOMENT I SAW HIM WALKING MY WAY. I FEEL IN LOVE WHEN HE STARTED TO SPEAK. I FEEL IN LOVE WHEN YOU SMILED. *inhale and exhale* HIS SMILE WAS JUST SOMETHING, IT HIT ME AS A ELECTRICITY AND TEARED DOWN THE STONE COLD WALL AROUND MY HEART. I FEEL IN LOVE WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS SPEAKING. I LOVED MYSELF WHEN I WAS AROUND HIM. I WAS LISTENING AND I UNDERSTOOD, THERE WAS HAPPINESS AND PASSION. THAT’S WHY THAT DAY I FEEL IN LOVE WITH HIM BECAUSE I LOVED MYSELF. WHO WOULD KNEW THAT JUST ONE PERSON WOULD COME AND HEAT ME UP AND BUILD ME UP.

AS YOU SEE, THE STORY IS ABOUT CAUSING MY BREATH STOPPING, STOPPING MY BODY. NOT EVEN CREATING THE STONE AROUND MY HEART BECAUSE SIMPLY I DONT BELIEVE THERES SOMETHING EVEN IN ME ANYMORE.

WE SPENT TIME, TALKED AND DID THINGS. HE STAYED AT MY PLACE. HE WAS NEXT TO ME. AND PUT HIS HEAD ON MY CHEST. AND MY HEART TURNED INTO A FIRE. BEAUTIFUL, WARM FIRE. AND EVERY OTHER THING I KNEW ABOUT LOVE WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE WHAT I FELT. NOW I KNOW HOW THE HEAVEN FEELS LIKE. I WAS DEAD AND YOU WOKE ME UP. YOU GOT UP. GAVE THE LAST KISS AND WALKED OUT. I WAS THE HAPPIEST PERSON ALIVE. I DIDNT NEED ANYTHING. I WAS JUST ME. BUT THEN IT ALSO CAUSED PAIN.

MAKES SENES, EVERYTHING IS IN BALANCE. I FELT PAIN BECAUSE YOU LEFT, I FELT PAIN BEACUSE YOURE NOT HEAR. I FELT PAIN BECAUSE I WANTED YOU HERE. I FELT LOVE BECAUSE I WOKE UP NEXT TO YOU, AT THE SAME FEELING PAIN, BECAUSE WHY I AM THE LUCKIEST TO HAVE YOU.

- I WAS WRITE. why did i have you?

THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. I NEVER HAD YOU. YOU WANTED TO EXPLORE. JUST WITH THE WRONG PERSON. YOU SIMPLY SAID - IT WAS A MISTAKE. I NEVER SHOULD HAVE STARTED THIS. YOU ARE SWEET AND LOVING BUT I HAVENT GOT OVER SOMEONE.

IT KILLED ME. YOU KILLED ME WITH YOUR MISTAKE. AND AT THE BEGINNING I SAID THE ONLY THING PEOPLE HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE IS CAUSED PAIN. AND YOU WERENT ANY BETTER. YOU MADE ME ALIVE. WILD AND FREE. I WAS MILION TIMES BETTER THEN I WAS THAT PERSON WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD WHEN MANY PEOPLE DESTROYED ME IN PIECES.

I FINALLY THOUGHT ITS MY TIME, SOMETHING GOOD FINALLY. IT WAS ME WHO REBORN WITH MORE IN ME THEN EVEN. BUT YOU ONLY NEEDED TO TELL ME I WAS A MISTAKE TO KILL ME. ONLY THIS TIME THE FALL WAS MUCH HIGHER, THE PAIN, MUCH GREATER AND EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WAY MORE PAINFUL THEN WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD.

*RECOVERY*

MANY THINGS HAPPENED, YOU MADE ME TO NOTICE THAT YOURE STILL HERE. AROUND ME. TO MAKE SURE I AM NOT GETTING UP FROM A PLACE YOU KILLED ME.

HAVING THE BEST PEOPLE AROUND ME AND TREATING MYSELF GOOD AND DOING THINGS THAT I LOVE. WITH A TIME I BUILT MYSELF AS A DECENT HUMAN. NOT HAPPY. NOT SAD. NOT MAD. JUST SIMPLE BREATHING CREATURE. I WAS BREATHING AGAIN. ALIVE, MAYBE NOT REALLY. I WAS BETTER ANYWAYS.

*REALIZED PT. 1*

YOU MAYBE CAME MY WAY TO SHOW ME WHAT I CAN BE. AND FUCK ME UP AT THE SAME TIME. BECAUSE THINGS WERE CHANGING. THEY WERE CHANGING BECAUSE I WAS A PERSON WITH NO SOUL. I WAS JUST GOING THROUGH LIFE AS IT NEVER REALLY MATTERED. SO IT HAD TO SHOW ME. THAT I CAN LIVE, BE IN LOVE AND BE SEXY. AT THE SAME TIME. FEELINGS ARE JUST A GAME AND PEOPLE ARE STILL JUST TO HURT YOU.

*FEELINGS*

SOMETIME AGO I HAD MY FIRST REAL CRUSH ON A BOY. I MEAN, EXISTING PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. NOT SOMEWHERE VIRTUALLY. WE MET ONCE, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL BUT COMPLICATED. AS HE WAS NOT LIVING CLOSE. JUST HUNDREDS OF KILOMETERS AWAY. SO IT WAS SOMETHING BUT STILL IT WAS SO SHORT AND THE TIME WAS STOLEN TO ACTUALLY MAKE THIS WORK.

TAKING YOU BACK TO NOW.

THIS FIRST CRUSH AGAIN IS BACK FOR COUPLE OF DAYS. I MEET HIM AND AT THE END OF THE EVENING I KISSED YOU. AND AWKWARD MOMENT TURNED INTO BEAUTIFUL PASSIONATE NIGHT FOR JUST COUPLE OF SECONDS. BUT HIS LIPS TASTED AMAZING.

NEXT DAY I GAVE ROOM FOR YOU TO DO SOMETHING AND YOU DIDNT DO ANYTHING. AND THE NIGHT WAS OVER.

TWO DAYS LATER MY FRIEND HAD THE LAST GOOD BY PARTY AS SHES LEAVING. WE BROUGHT THE PARTY TO HOME AND PARTIED THERE.

TILL YOU SAID YOURE IN TOWN. AND WE MIGHT MEET. TOOK ME COUPLE OF MINUTES TO GET READY, AND MY BESTFRIEND AND OTHER FRIEND WAS ON THE HUNT FOR YOU.

I MET YOU. YOU WERE COLD. I WAS CONFUSED. THEN RUMOR WAS, THAT YOURE GONE. BUT MOMENT LATER YOU WERE THERE. NEXT TABLE. NOT GIVING ANY ATTENTION. ALTHOUGH MY FRIENDS HELPED ME TO GET IT. THEY SAID YOU WERE LOOKING AT ME HOW I DANCE. YOU JOINED OUR TABLE WITH YOUR FRIEND. BUT DIDNT SAY ANYTHING.

THEN MOMENT LATER WE ALL ARE LEAVING FOR ANOTHER PLACE. WE TAKE A CAB AND WE ARE TWO MANY. GIRLS TAKE THE CAB I CALLED AND YOURE LEFT WITH ME.

WHILE WAITING. YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU COULDNT NOT LOOK. YOU LIKED THE WAY I DANCED. AND ACTUALLY YOURE HAPPY THAT ITS JUST YOU AND ME HERE BECAUSE YOU GET TIME WITH ME.

AT THE BAR WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO ORDER DRINKS. YOU AND YOURE FRIEND ARE IN FRONT OF ME. YOURE TOUCHING MY LEG AND I RESPOND. YOURE GIVING ME SIGNALS. I LIKE IT. BY THE TABLE YOU IGNORED ME.

EVENING IS GOING SUPER NOT WELL. AND I AM ALMOST SOBER. I TOOK SHOTS. WE GO OUT TO SMOKE. WE GO BACK FOR THE TOILET.

*Toilet*

THERES TWO DOORS IN THE TOILET. ONE IS TAKEN. I GO FIRST. HEARD YOUR KNOCKS. I GO OUT AND LET YOU GO IN. FUCK, I AM AN IDIO. I DIDNT PULL YOU IN.

YOU CAME OUT. AND ANOTHER PERSON CAME IN. HE IS WASHING HANDS. AND YOURE WAITING TO DO THE SAME. YOURE WASHING YOUR HANDS. ITS JUST YOU AND ME. YOU GIVE ME A LOOK THROUGH THE MIRROR. THAT AGAIN TURN ME ON AND I FELT SOMETHING GOOD. THE NEXT MOMENT. OUR LIPS MEET. I AM AGAINST THE WALL. KISSING. AND ENJOYING. FIREWORKS IN ME. FEELING GOOD. TILL I GOT SCARED IF SOMEONE COMES IN. AND I STOPED. BUT I WAS A FOOL NOT TO GO BACK AND CONTINUE.

THAT WAS IT THAT NIGHT. I FELT AMAZING BUT I WAS MISSING MORE.

NEXT DAY I ACTUALLY COULDNT DRIVE BUT I DROVE YOU HOME. HOLDED YOUR HAND ALL THE WAY. HOPED MAYBE WILL CONTINUE WHAT WE STARTED LAST NIGHT. BUT NO, NOTHING HAPPENED. IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY.

*SAME EVENING*

I AM HOME WITH MY PARENTS. I THINK ITS ENOUGH. BUT TO SAY FAST. THEY TOLD ME THAT I AM HORRIBLE. SHITTY SON, AND I FELT HOW MAD AND UNHAPPY THEY ARE WITH ME. I SAW HATE. AND DIDNT KNOW ABOUT WHAT WAS THAT. AND SOMETIMES ALL YOU NEED IS ACCEPTANCE FROM YOUR PARENTS. FOR YOUR PARENTS TO SAY - YOURE DOING GREAT SON. KEEP UP. NEVER HEARD THAT. AND THE QUESTION IN MY HEAD IS - WHAT DID I DO SO WRONG? DO THEY LOVE ME?

MOMENT I REALIZED ...

I AM EMPTY. ALL THESE PEOPLE JUST TOOK ALL THERE WAS LEFT IN ME. AND WE ARE BACK AT THE STARTING POINT. THATS HOW ACTUALLY I FEEL. PEOPLE SHIT ON ME. AND I AM UNHAPPY. BUT AT THE SAME TIME - HOW DO I KNOW? I AM REALLY EMPTY.

3/8/21

I guess if the last time i wrote on this was in January is ok. I feel like ive been really struggling for the last week and a bit. This most recent lockdown has really impacted me - i feel like i cant hold onto anything too long, i feel jaded, i feel like its hard to see a light out or a way forward.

It’s hard to feel lonely and isolated from my family again. I can’t see them and even if i could, i know it would be tricky because of our weird dynamics. It upsets me to hear saphta covid denying. i want so badly to protect all of them but i know i cant. I know i cant do anything to stop covid or keep them safe. I know to keep me safe i have to stay here in Melbourne, but it feels odd. I feel almost orphan beng seperated like this. I belong to a family. I belong to many families but my connection feels so weird. It feels weird to miss them. Its something that i try to not tell them. Which i know is wrong of me to be withholding, but to say i miss them is to also say in part i miss dysfunction. Obviously we are all in a better place then all those years ago. But there are still some chaotic elements there.

I sit here riddlin around in my head with thoughts non stop. The anti depressants have been pretty good at keeping the background prattle quiet but its happening more atm. I am getting my tasks done. But my emotions are flip floppy. I finish all my work im overjoyed, several hours later im despondent and inconsolable. i was proud of my media release and then i feared my friends would tear it apart.

I know Noam loves me. I know he cares for me. I know he is also going through his own things at times. But i keep doing this dumb thing where i start shit. Asking him like tonight if he thinks im too emotional and telling him that i dont know how he does it with me. I as a kid was a sponge and took on everything around me that people said, i was so eager to please that i adapted these parts into my personality, into who i am. Dad worries that im too emotional. He says “does he not mind that youre so emotional”. I know this is more about my dad then about me. I know mum was “too much” for him so now he has a relationship with a woman who personally i dont think is particularly healthy, butit seems they dont fight and thats what he needs. But my dad, although he has always been there for me and is my rock sometimes thinks im too sensitive to things. And then i start worrying that noam will start thinking that. Even though nothing has happened. But my brain prattles on thinking that i am too much, and i dont know how he can date me and im WAY too emotional. Then he says he doesnt think that way and i get anxious, i get annoyed for bringing it up, i start thinking ive doomed everything. It’s over and i wish i hadnt brought it up in the first place cause now i feel vulnerable and wide open and see through. Just because i feel like im too emotional, like my mood swings and my depression will at some point be too much for him and he will walk away.

I know that we have lots of beautiful memories. Most of our times are fun. We explore a lot and dont need much but eeach other to enjoy each others company. But then i do these things, this is the second time this week ive been like this and i just think why does he bother with me. I am just so much work. My friends didnt reply to a message and then i felt left out. THis most recent turmoil came because i sent noam a video of me singing, but when i listened back i didnt like how i sounded. Im still paranoid that everytime the downstairs neighbour opens the door downstairs its to give me a hint to stop, even though she has all her phone calls outside.

Singing is such a weird thing for me. Its so personal and ive always been critiqued. I couldnt act for all those years because i had to get my singing right and being the perfectionist i was it never was good enough. I tried though. Then seeing pip wasnt good for my mental health, yes my voie sounded great but i had to go to such mental leeps and bounds to get there. I am out of practice. I stopped singing as much last year. Mostly because i was trying to be mindfull of housemates, when at times they werent mindful of me. No one asked me but i did it. And also because i didnt want jacuqi commenting on it. Also because i couldnt allow myself to love theatre, because it keeps falling through and even now i am so anxious about writing a show or doing a show because the state of our country and covid gives me no hope.

I dont like how i sound and i know i could work on it. I could work on the singing and instead of nitpicking, reckon with the fact that i havent worked on my singing properly and im trying to find joy doing it. Maybe im best off not recording myself and playing it back to myself when i sing to noam. and just send it and be done with it. It triggered an old response from uni. something i havent experienced for a while.

To be honest, this last lockdown and comign out of it hasnt given me much hope. Jessie calls me to compare lockdowns, how theres is the worst, saphta says we live in comunist australia and shes so lonely and i wish i could hlep but i know i cant do much. Im giving a lot to my clients becuase i dont want them to feel low post lockdown, i want them to feel good and enjoy moving, but im having a harder time picking myself up each time. Getting back into it. It takes more strain, more resilience. Its harder each time to bounce back. I just cant imagine ever going back to normal. Or when ill see my family which stresses me out. 

[kosmicdream]

hi i just discovered your webcomic !! i very much love it a lot and i was wondering if yo could maybe clear up the worm's anatomy ? cuz like, one minute they have boobs except its referred to as a he and then it has a dick but its still a queen ? don't get me wrong its insanely cool but if you would be so kind as to enlighten me on the subject it would be very much appreciated !! keep up the good work !!

I’ve been getting a lot of new readers and I think its been a while since i’ve gotten questions about this, so I suppose I don’t mind recirculating some information again. Hopefully i can cover a little bit more of the deeper nuances about worms and their relationship to gender/sex/pronouns that i haven’t talked about before. Its best to keep in mind that pronouns and also body parts (genitals/breasts, ect) arent always indicative of gender or sex. I think this is safe to say this is true for.. even outside of my story.

**SOME SPOILERS BELOW IF YOU HAVENT READ THE ENTIRE COMIC... SORRY I RAMBLED***

Anyway-- In the case of hydragora worms (which ill focus on as they are the ones with the king/queens classifications), their pronouns are not even exactly related to their genders or sex at all! but rather the type of ‘class’ of worm they are. Technically, all worms are able to lay eggs and also fertilize them. there are no “girl” or “boy” worm. Sometimes their rituals with how this process happens are different depending on what kind of worm they are, but they are all able to shape-shift their bodies to look how they want-- well, based on what they eat-- so body parts like boobs and genitals are really just accessories. For some worms, they’re important parts of their body that help make them comfortable, for others they couldnt give a fuck about what is swinging around. it really depends on the individual. Worms can mate without even having any visible genitals just as long as they squirm around in the necessary fun fluids with some sort of .. open.. orifice to absorb it with.... worm sex can be real damn freaky i wont get into it rn.

Back to the pronouns though. What does it mean??? Well, Kings do not actually mean male and Queens do not mean female..Even though we humans generally associate these pronouns/words with male and female! To make it as simple as i can, I try to explain or ask others to think of it like..Kings (he/him) - Typical characteristics: Lazy, Important, Need to be worshipped and protected. Very sexually appealing. Also have mysterious powers. Often have little weird crowns.Queens (she/her) - Characteristics: generally very large, can regenerate, specifically hunt down kings to kill them. Super strong. Generally have cool looking tails for some reason. Very colorful because that is useful for intimidation and showing off how strong they are.Regular worms: want to worship kings + protect them, also desire to become knights. technically speaking-- i would say that the lack of pronouns is the most ‘suitable’ pronoun to describe them. some even casually adopt he/she/they pronouns but usually in the space of interacting with other species. anyway, they’re loyal and subservient. knight worms: the special king-appointed upgrade of regular worms, they often adopt he/him pronouns through this process but it is reflective of their close bond with their king. (the very simple format is thinking the three basic worm genders as LAZY, MURDER and WORSHIP.)

*ok more specific character spoilrs below YOUUUVE BEEN WARNNNED IM WARNING YOOOU ok done warning**

Some worms break from this system and try to reinvent or reinterpret pronouns for their own while still interacting with worm culture/society. A couple examples of worms that do this are Agent Paper and Nail. (although really, its hard to think what worm character in ffak does not do this lol) Paper is a woman wishes to be viewed/treated as a woman by ANY species she interacts with. But! this doesnt mean she identifies as being a queen worm however- even tho she uses she/her pronouns. She just is a female worm. That identity is important to her even if, for a worm, it is far more ‘binary’ way of thinking than worms typically exhibit. Other worms will probably view her as a wanna-be-human or close minded. But just because the majority of worms are very fluid in many aspects of their gender/bodies/identity/sexuality doesn’t mean paper has to conform to this fluidity as well. The idea of a ‘Binary Gender’ for worms is typically very confusing (or an example of someone who is misinformed) to those who understand that worms generally do not adhere to a binary system. Especially for a worm who is NOT trying to disguise themselves as a human and integrate with human society (Aka, like Dylan who mostly interacts with humans and generally tries to remove herself from worm culture/society completely. Dylan does not even WANT to be considered a worm while paper still LOVES being a worm and associating herself with worms. shes just a woman worm. dylan is a woman. just not a worm woman. she will begrudgingly accept she is still technically a worm, but the identity of woman is less important to her and is more just the default of being viewed as a cis lady by humans and dylan is like ‘yeah whatevs’.)Nail is a queen worm, which typically have she/her pronouns, but he goes by he/him pronouns and also is fairly assertive of that. However, this doesnt mean he is a man or wishes to be viewed a ‘Man’ or ‘Male' (specifically) or even as a “King.” its more like... his own interpretation of what he/him means, which is about authority, dominance and most importantly: power. If he would pick a ‘binary gender sort of thing’ (while rolling his eyes bc he thinks its stupid while also thinking its important enough to get annoyed at when people dont respect his pronouns) he would pick being a man and would vehemently reject being viewed as a woman, but in a more deeper level that is not actually how he sees his he/him pronouns as a man thing. (even between being NB/male/female he would still pick man because that just seems ‘direct to the point.’ and satisfying) He also generally rejects the label of Queen worm too, but will begrudgingly or unenthusiastically accept that he is one. He is also considered an ‘odd’ queen because he is very small in stature and generally has muted colors of browns/tans instead of flashy ones. He has been teased at this too that he wasnt QUEEN enough by being so small and puny lmao.

To backtrack a little, As worms integrate with human society, or even hekatons (which that species also mimics a lot of human society), they will often adopt the ideology and system of how pronouns are used. Or at least, will be forced to process how other species will view them based on the shared language of using the same words, despite it meaning many different things... to not only groups of people but also on the individual level. I think thats an important thing to consider that there are many different dynamics, interpretations and journeys interacting all at once and influencing each other and are constantly evolving and branching out. Even the lines between what is a king/queen/other worms really ARE is blurry because its all on a spectrum of.. various physical characteristics and behaviors.

And to go into EVOLUTION and BLURRY LINES... As we can see with a worm like, Jacket for example... while he is specifically NOT a king, he is also more like a unique blend of features from queens/regular worms and also knights. because he WANTS to be a knight he already uses he/him pronouns despite not actually having a king already and hasnt even gone through the specific knighting process. Jacket sees He/him as words that mean total loyalty to the king. Whoever the king is. And if someone were to try to put him in a specific box of queen/king/knight/regular worm they would be unable to place him b/c he is something else unique entirely. and while jacket uses he/him pronouns i think at the core of it he literally does not give a fuck about language at all, or genders, or labels. those are all nonsense things. he relies only on instinct and desire.

Phew. ok I could ramble on and describe every one of my worm characters, but I’ll leave it at there for now. Crimson is even more confusing bc she is a fucking hybrid human/mandragora worm, using a goddamn hydragora body, and has like 2 other clone heart selves and all this other fucking bullshit. i have been writing this for like an hour. lmao

I hope some of this is communicates at least, its a little difficult to orchestrate and articulate all the levels operating here at once in a simple-to-digest manner. the fun thing about ffak at least is that if you dont want to think about this stuff you dont really have to--although id think it enriches the experience a bit.

Plum: ..................................... Psalm: The ability to go back in time would be useful.  Plum: the ability to go back in time would be useful Rokka: stop making me choose one thing i can't choose. Finn: I want to dual wield blades. Cimmorro: teleportation powers perhaps... 

Q - if you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30 year old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

Q - tell me about the first crush you remember having

Psalm: No. (offscreen there is a screech of a chair. keva is leaving) Rokka: Ummm...... Finn: (Finn "Hm"s) Did anyone else crush on characters from the books they've read? For me it was a swordsman, in any case. Han: (whispers to the asker) whats a crush?? Cimmorro: [tilting head at han and shaking his head] ...yeah, finn. wee jas.

Q - what’s your favourite thing about someone you admire?

Rokka: she's really tall! and strong! I admire her strengths! she's really nice!!! She's the best. Keva: that everything would be okay if they were around. or it felt like that at least Psalm: He was more friendly than me, and I envied how easily he could make friends when we were younger. Finn: He stands his ground against anyone. Han: they are so easy going and kind hearted, even when i am not to them. Cimmorro: just about everything? especially that they seem to never break under pressure and are completely capable of making decisions with swiftness and grace...

Q - would you like to be famous? in what way?

Psalm: Absolutely not. Keva: no Rokka: I don't think I have the skills to go that far. Finn: I don't aspire much fame but some renown as a swordsman seems worthwhile. Cimmorro: gaining a good enough reputation to be an influencer… i believe it would be important for the church, so i wouldn’t refuse it.

Q - cole what do you think about vinny as a boss

Cole: ooooh incredible ! The fact that i get to work under a wizard of his skills as an apprentice still bowls me over, I've learned so much and i haven't even been here all that long. I know he doesn't seem to like the Accord much but being part of their group is no joke, he musta' had some cool projects back in the day. He doesn't seem to mind when i break things either, he's a real swell guy like that, nothing like my last boss [nervous laughter]

Q - when is the last time you got a manipedi

Rokka: got a what? Cimmorro: i do my own! as often as needed!

Q - what is it like having a tail

Rokka: Idk? ok? but what's it like NOT having a tail though? :thonk: Psalm: ...Normal. This is the norm for me, so I have no clue how to answer this in a way that would be satisfactory to someone that doesn't have one. Like with any part of the body, I don't really think about it unless I remember it's there. I guess the one thing is that I don't like having holes in my clothes, so everything I wear is low waisted. Finn: I wasn't aware everything you wear is low waisted, much less why. Psalm: I always wear a waist sash, but next time I can go without if you're curious. Cimmorro: i used to trip over my own tail a lot when i was a kid. it was rather long for my size at the time hehe

Q - finn what do you think about your uncle’s growing fanclub? what does he think abt it?

Finn: His "fanclub"? Well, it is true people take a liking to my uncle rather quickly, but I've yet to see him reciprocate any such affections. If this "club" is anything official I would like to be its president though, to guide others of course. I may find someone who could get along with him, he really ought to settle down one of these days!

Q - finn can you tell us a little bit about your cousins?

Finn: Hmm... from the beginning they have been more outgoing than me, I must admit I am a bit envious of that. But the Vengaboys have brought out a lot in me already, I think.

Q - ezra and cole have you ever had to help vinny find his glasses. let me clarify i know he has that thing where his glasses can hang from his neck but have you ever had to help vinny find his glasses bc he lost them anyways

Ezra: never, but he didn't always have the string, he told me he slapped it on because he had that exact problem. Cole: I've only ever seen em' with that string so he’s never really lost em'... though one time he broke them and i had to help him around the store for a week until a friend of his could fix them, its the grumpiest ive ever seen him [ she makes a face like this :y and laughs ] 

Q - ezra i'm serious will you please let me buy you a new coat

Q -  psalm you wear a lot of black nail polish but do you have any other colors? what are your favourites?

Q - do you guys like piercings ?

Keva: do i like having them or do i like when other people have them what are you asking Rokka: (points at keva) what she said Psalm: Yes, I do have them after all.

Han: its so cool!! i wanted some myself but aah.. my tribe was very against that thing Cimmorro: yeah and yup.

Q - hey tieflings what’s horn maintenance like for you

Q - hi um this question is for psalm how do you keep your hooves warm in the winter? do you have socks? leg warmers?

Psalm: That's an interesting question. While I'm not that well versed in the specifics of tiefling anatomy, I do know that keeping warm isn't really an issue for me whenever it gets cold, so I don't typically wear anything like socks.

Q - rokka do you have a favourite meat dish?

Rokka: hmm...anything roasted on a stick? But that's a stick not dish...meat buns!

Q - hey psalm han and plum your brows are amazing what salon do you go to

Han: sah lon? i dont know what that but these run in family Psalm: These are how they are naturally. I have better things to do with my own time than fuss about my appearance too much.

Q - what are your thoughts on the institution of marriage

Psalm: My parents are married and seem to like each other enough, so I suppose it's not so bad. Finn: I think it is merely a matter of who you choose to spend your life with, not marriage itself.

I can read them to you if you want. Keva: (is getting visibly pink) Psalm: ....Is that a no?

Q - for every one, what's the way to your heart??

Finn: Hmm... you must be worthy as my rival! (he gives his rapier a test swing) That is for sure. But should you lack a passion for swordsmanship, please do your best to entertain me at a ball, at the very least. Rokka: um...? (Scratches his head nervously) I'm not sure how to answer this haha....just....please  love me??? *shy* Psalm: I've never thought about it. I just like who I like. Cimmorro: fuck around and find out!

Q - would you or would you not try roller skates (shoes with wheels on them)?

Finn: Shoes with wheels on them? That sounds most absurd... and yet... I must inform my uncle of this. Where does one acquire such shoes... ? Rokka: (tries to picture this in his head for too long the interviewer moves on) 🤔 Psalm: This sounds like a prime setup for falling on my ass, so no.

Q - hi vengaboys. i’ve been following your adventures since predebut. i’ve been stuck at home bc of a global pandemic and i gotta say it’s really bumming me out. what should i do

Finn: I have plenty experience with staying at home. A lot of people might tell you to hone a skill or indulge in hobbies you have been neglecting and while that can be a productive use of your time, it is easier spoken than done, no? I recommend, if you are allowed, to seek out quiet places without many people around. That way you do not endanger yourself or anyone else in these trying times. Spending time in nature is quite refreshing. Please look forward to our continued performance, dear reader. Psalm: *Is somewhat amazed.* I don't think I can give a better answer than that one. Rokka: wow finn you're so smart

Q - would you ever become a vegetarian if you aren’t already one

Psalm: *coughs into his sleeve* Finn: *does the same*

Q - do you have people waiting for you wherever you call home? if you can share, who?

Finn: My family. I can't wait to speak to my cousins again and tell them about this job, shall it go well. Psalm: I'm not sure if "waiting" is the word I'd use, but yes. Cimmorro: i can’t imagine any of those people not wanting my presence again

Q - do you like hugs

Finn: ... If they come from the right people, then yes, certainly. Rokka: oh! yes, I like hugging Psalm: What Finn said. I like them about as much as the average person, although I have a friend that mocks me for not being particularly good at giving them, whatever that means. (How can you be bad at hugging...?) Finn: Perhaps your posture is stiff, Psalm? It can make the hug feel rather "cold", so to speak. Psalm: That's what he said... (He looks lost in thought.) Rokka: psalm if you need practice hugging I am here (stands there with open arms) Finn: Consciously think about your movement. Are you actually bending your torso, properly using your arms? Try with Rokka. Keva: (was about to answer but is now biting her lip to keep from laughing at rokka and finn coaching psalm on hugging) Han: (faces away from this spectacle and slaps a hand over her mouth to not break out laughing too) Psalm: There's a lot more that goes into hugging than I initially thought.

Q -  do you prefer hot weather or cold?

Keva: hot Han: cold!! honestly its too hot in shorewater... i never thought i would miss snow Rokka: more warm than hot......but if i had to choose between the two then it would be cold Finn: I've been preferring cold weather as of late.

Q -  Hello Vengaboys! We have not had the pleasure of meeting but I am an old friend of Finnian's. He tells me about your travels in his letters and I quite look forward to reading them. Your time in Shorewater sounds like it has been quite the whirlwind! I am writing because I have always known Finnian to be a kind and gentle boy who worries about others often, and I want to be sure he is as okay as he says he is. How is he really? Please treat him well, and please do not tell him I wrote! I imagine he would be quite beside himself with embarrassment if he found out. Sincerely yours, Sagessa  P.S. I do hope we get to meet one day! May Pelor protect you until and long after then.

Rokka: Hello sagessa!! Nice to, uh, read you! I didn't know he had a friend! Yes...shorewater has been super crazzzzy. Kind of scary actually...don't come here. (Lol) you're right he is kind and well so far! He's nice to me and I like him! We shared a bed and it was nice. Also, don't worry my lips are sealed! Promise! Sincerely, Rokka. P.s. I hope to meet you soon! (saying this all outloud)

Psalm: I've been trying to figure that out myself. Rokka: my father Finn: *side eyes psalm* I took an interest in swordsmanship early. I've had an instructor and participated in many tournaments.

Q - do you like bugs

Rokka: yeah, they're neat! Lady bugs were my favourite when I was young. Keva: as long as they're not biting me or trying to get at my food, they're fine Psalm: No, but I'm not scared of them either or anything silly like that. Finn: As a child I was less aversive to them but I must admit I find them most unpleasant and avoid all contact. Cimmorro: yeah!

Q - would you confess to your love interest first

Rokka: idk maybe? I've never been in this situation before do I'm not sure...👉👈 Psalm: It depends. No sense in keeping some things hidden though. Finn: If there is no other way, yes. Cimmorro: sure. beating around the bush feels like a waste of time really.

Psalm: I've been to my parents' wedding, but aside from that not really. I do like parties. Wedding parties seem like fun. Cimmorro: i ordain weddings... or, well, i used to. the parties are fun, but overseeing the ceremony itself is something i’d rather avoid.

And to teach, shall you wish it. Keva: first psalm now you what is going on Psalm: It's an admirable trait for sure :-). Finn: You could simply stand to make more of yourself, Keva. Keva: you're just making fun of me now Finn: Absolutely not. But let's just say you're not going to impress anyone like this. Keva: who is there to-- i'm not Trying to impr-- okay (she is leaving) Finn laughs quietly to himself as she leaves Psalm: Hmm.. if I ever grow my hair out I'll be sure to come to you Finn.

Q - have any of you had a job before this? i know han worked at the swallow’s perch but what about the rest of you? what was the job if you can share?

[krystalia-productions]

All of them for Dicemint!

oh goodness haha, well, alright then!

these will be going under the cut! please realize i do not own Peppermint and may not be correct on him in some of these. Peppermint belongs to @mangofritter

1. Who is the early bird/ Who is the night owl?

Dice is very much a night owl. if he even sleeps. he doesnt normally like being out in day times because he doesnt like being around too many people, and he doesnt wan to be noticed by strangers or whatever. he avoids all that. but he does what he can. most of the jobs he has to do are done in day light. Peppermint on the other hand could be an early bird, i could see that, but im not really sure. i dont really see them waking up too early.

2. Who is the big spoon/ Who is the little spoon?

Dice is definitely the Big spoon, and Peppermint is the little spoon. its pretty obvious because of their heights.. haha

3. Who hogs the cover/ Who loves to cuddle?

i dont think either of them would hog the covers. heck, Dice would feel lucky to even be sleeping in a bed with a blanket and pillows. he wouldnt mind if Peppermint took all the covers considering how used Dice is to the cold. though, i dont think Peppermint would do that.as for cuddling, Dice actually would cuddle Peppermint haha. he always has that feeling of losing another in his mind that he would want to hold him close. but only if Peppermint will let him. Dice very much respects what Peppermint does and doesnt like in their relationship. although, i see Peppermint as a cuddler.

4. Who wakes the other one up with kisses clinks?

hahaHAHA.. okay, Dice is very shy as of right now about having the first clink with Peppermint. Once he gets enough courage to finally clink Peppermint, or Peppermint might even clink him first, then its possible that he would do that if they happen to be sleeping in the same place. course, he might still be a bit shy to do so, he will feel he might be disturbing Peppermint. Peppermint on the other hand, i could see him possibly doing that. im not exactly sure of Peppermint is really shy tbh but he seems like one who would be confident enough. but i could be totally wrong haha.

5. Who usually has nightmares?

Dice definitely. and he freaks out afterwards. as much as he usually does get nightmares, when hes sleeping anywhere around Peppermint, its not often that he has them. when sleeping anywhere else, its bound to happen and hes bound to freak out and panic.Peppermint, hmm, im not sure. im sure he does have a nightmare occasionally, but im not sure if he has nightmares very often like Dice. even if he did though, Dice would be there for him.6. Who would have really deep emotional thoughts at the middle of the night/ Who would have them in the middle of the day? 

Dice is more often than not, having deep emotional thoughts most of the day and night. around Peppermint its not so bad. if you havent noticed, Peppermint makes alot of things better for Dice because Dice is more focused on Peppermint while around him than on anything else. so these emotional thought probably wouldnt be there unless they were on a topic related to them.Peppermint i wouldnt doubt does have emotional thoughts, and i could see them being thought of in the middle of the night or when hes alone, but again, i dont really know. im still learning about Peppermint.

7. Who sweats the small stuff?

Both of them possibly? idk, Dice thinks everything matters. even the smallest of things. Peppermint i could see being the same way.

8. Who sleeps in their underwear (or naked)/ Who sleeps in their pajamas?

Dice sleeps in his clothes, without the belt and side accessories on his pants of course, because otherwise that would be uncomfortable. he also takes his choker off, but thats about it, its not often he would take off his shirt and sleep in just his undershirt and pants. but he only takes those off if hes sleeping in a bed. Peppermint im sure probably has some form of Pajamas or clothes that he sleeps in. if not, im sure Dice is okay with that.

9. Who makes the coffee (or tea)?

Dice might knows how to make both of those, but he doesnt do it often. most times he would have to be asked to, if hes in a place where he can make some that is. Peppermint doesnt really like coffee, so it would be he would make tea if anything. i believe he likes hot chocolate though, i think he would rather have that.

10. Who likes sweet/ Who likes sour?

Dice likes sweet due to his love for Peppermint candy, but im sure he wouldnt mind something sour every once in a while. Peppermint probably likes the same.

11. Who likes horror movies/ Who likes romance movies?

Dice could go either way really, depending on the romance movie. some things might make him blush and etc. and he would have to have peppermint candy in his mouth to be watching horror movies. Peppermint... im honestly not sure on this one, i feel like he could go either way also, but idk.

12. Who is smol/ Who is tol?

Peppermint is the Smol, Dice is the Tol :)

13. Who is considered the scaredy cat?

Peppermint more than likely? hmm. although i could see Dice being called a scaredy cat due to his freak outs to jumpscares when he doesnt have peppermint candy. but that would irritate him, he doesnt like being called something like that when he knows himself he cant help his freak outs or whatever.

14. Who kills the spiders?

i really dont think Peppermint would be afraid to kill a spider. But Dice would be okay with killing them if needed. that or he will keep it as a secret pet pfft.

15. Who is scared of the dark?

neither i dont think. Dice sleeps outside alot, so hes definitely not scared of it, he actually likes it. Peppermint i doubt is scared of the dark tbh.

16. Who is scared of thunderstorms?

Neither of them? Dice again sleeps outside so, it wouldnt phase him.Peppermint, again, i doubt.

17. Who works/ Who stays at home?

Dice does small jobs as of right now. Peppermint probably has some form of job im sure, so he probably works as well. in future though, like living together wise, Dice would be the one working and Peppermint would probably be the one staying home. but Peppermint can do whatever he wants tbh Dice aint gonna stop him.

18. Who is a cat person/ Who is a dog person?

hahaha, Cats Scare Dice. he doesnt like them one bit, he would forbid having them in the house. so he would be a dog person. Peppermint i honestly could see as a dog person as well, but idk.

19. Who loves to call the other one cute names?

....i mean, possibly Peppermint? i dont think Dice really would. he would probably ask Peppermint about it first.

20. Who is dominant/ Who is submissive?

if you think for one second i haven't thought about this your wrong. pffft.Dice would definitely be dominate. when it comes to something like this, hes dominate at all times. unless Peppermint finds a way to switch it around.

21. Who has an obsession (over anything)?

Dice loves peppermint candy, almost as if he has an addiction tbh. Peppermint im not sure about at all on this one.

22. Who goes all out for Valentine’s Day?

Dice did last Valentine’s Day, as much as he could atleast, and hes always going to for now on for Peppermint. and hes not going to care if its around anyone, he wants to make Peppermint happy, especially on Valentine’s Day. its Peppermint’s job to be waiting for what Dice has planned for him ;)

23. Who asks who out on the first date?

Dice wants to be the one who does this, but again, hes very shy and all. he will do it eventually im sure. unless Peppermint does it first XD  DICE GET YOU BUTT GOING24. Who is the talker/ Who is the listener? 

Dice doesnt really talk too often as it is. sure he talks to his friends and definitely Peppermint. but he would rather, and gladly, listen to others talk. so he is more than likely the listener and Peppermint would be the talker.

25. Who wears the other ones clothes?

Dice doesnt really like taking and putting on other’s clothes. hes rather comfortable in his own. plus im not sure if Dice could even fit in Peppermint’s clothes. Peppermint i could see taking Dice’s Jacket to try it on. and Dice wouldnt mind at all, he would think it is cute af.

26. Who likes to eat healthy/ Who loves junk food?

Dice would eat more Junk food than most. he already eats alot of peppermint candy. (dont worry, he cleans his teeth very often, and his breath always smells minty fresh ppftt) Peppermint i could see eating more healthily but eats junk food every now and then. i heard he eats peppermint as well so--

27. Who takes a long shower/ Who sings in the shower?

Dice would take long showers. he likes the hot water on his bones and running down his body. most times he bathing in cold water so haha yeah. also, he might hum in the shower, but thats about it.Peppermint i dont think takes too long of showers, maybe semi long, but i definitely see him singing in the shower.

28. Who is the book worm?

i see Peppermint as a book worm. ...idkDice, if hes interested in a book enough, he will read it, when he has time, possibly shoo away his friends so he can keep reading. he wouldnt do that to Peppermint though, he would stop for Peppermint.

29. Who is the better cook?

ooooooh, good question. idk.Surprisingly, Dice is a really good cook. he learned straight from his mother before she left the family. Dice ended up teaching Atticus to cook afterwards. nowadays Dice doesnt cook often, considering he really has no where to cook. but when he gets the opportunity, he tries his best on it. if hes cooking for someone else, he aims to satisfy and impress.i dont doubt that Peppermint can cook, and that hes a really good cook. i just dont know who is better XD

30. Who likes long walks on the beach?

Dice loves walks in any kind of place. it takes away stress. he used to take walks with his brother in his AU. So he would definitely love to take walks with Peppermint anywhere.id like to believe Peppermint likes a walk occasionally. :)

31. Who is more affectionate?

i feel like Dice would be more affectionate towards Peppermint. he would do anything for Peppermint. he really wants to love Peppermint to the best of his abilities as long as Peppermint is okay with it.Peppermint probably is affectionate towards Dice, just not as much as Dice is towards him.

32. Who likes to have really long (deep) conversation?

oh goodness. neither of them? i dont think Peppermint really wants that unless its important. And Dice really just doesnt like those kinds of conversations unless it means letting Peppermint talk about something important and or helping him with something by talking about it with him.

33. Who would wear “not guilty” t-shirt/ Who would wear “sin” t-shirt?

boi oh my gosh--they are both sinners, they both need a sin Shirt.

34. Who would wear “if lost return to…” t-shirt/ Who would wear “I am…” t-shirt?

Dice would be wearing the “if lost return to Peppermint” shirt, he disappears alot and wonders off tbhPeppermint would be wearing the “i am Peppermint shirt”

35. Who goes overboard on the holidays?

Dice. no questions asked. Holidays were a big thing in his family and celebrated widely and happily with everyone in his AU. not to mention lots of games and all. haha. the only thing he would be sad about is not getting to spend anymore holidays with his brother. but hes happy to spend it with his friends and Peppermint. hes generally happy during these times, which might be weird to all of his friends and possibly Peppermint.As for Peppermint, im not really sure. he probably does normal stuff, but Dice goes all out.

36. Who is the social media addict?

Dice cant be, his phone doesnt have service or internet, so he cant look anything up or whatever. he cant make calls or send texts on his phone. all he has on the phone he has is games he had before his AU was destroyed. which he loves. he certainly doesnt have a computer either. he has no access to social media.Peppermint, i have no idea. i dont think he is though haha

37. Height difference or age difference?

Dice is 5′3 and he doesnt give out a specific number for his age. but he is an adult.Peppermint is 4′10 and idk his age right now, that would be a question for Mango.

38. Who likes to star gaze?

Dice does and i dont see why Peppermint wouldnt, so both? Dice likes the actual stars on the surface, and the “stars” in the underground. he looks at them alot in different AUs. he would love to take Peppermint Star Gazing some time.

39. Who buys cereal for the prize inside?

neither. atleast i dont think Peppermint would. Dice isnt interested in something like that.

40. Who is the fun parent/ Who is the responsible parent?

i see them as them both being.. well, both! they like having lots of fun and stuff, but they know when they need to be responsible. Although i feel like Peppermint would be more responsible than Dice. Dice would be the one probably taking them blame for things lol. But Dice knows when he does need to be a parent and take responsibility for things and etc.

41. Who cries during sad movies? 

Peppermint more than likely. Dice doesnt really emote much while watching movies. it has to real sad to make him cry.

42. Who is the neat freak?

both possibly? i know Dice likes things really clean, he cant stand things being dirty. him and his brother would clean the house constantly. can you see now how Dice’s clothes are always nice and white? lolPeppermint i would like to believe likes to have things clean, but isnt paranoid or whatever about it.

43. Who wins the stuffed animals at the carnival for the other one?

Dice, and he would happily do it for Peppermint :)

44. Who is active/ Who is lazy?

Dice is always out. he never stays in one place. he might hang out with friends and all, but most of the time hes out walking around, or working. so hes pretty active. plus a really skilled fighter so hes gotten exercise from that way back.Peppermint is more than likely active, working and etc. i dont exactly know what he does, but im sure hes pretty active. again i could be wrong though

45. Who is more likely to get drunk?

Peppermint maybe? its more likely compared to Dice if Peppermint even drinks alcohol..again im not sure. but Dice cant even really afford alcohol all that often, and plus, it takes a lot of it to even get him drunk.

46. Who has the longer food order?

Dice eats? ummmmmm ... i have no idea for this one. Dice doesnt eat alot, most times hes starving for like 2 days before getting some actual food to save money. hes weird and just... idkit might be Peppermint.

47. Who has the more complex coffee order?

Dice. he knows alot about coffee and plus Peppermint doesnt really like coffee. so its definitely Dice.

48. Who loses stuff?

Peppermint? possibly. Dice doesnt have much of anything to lose really and keeps things hidden in his hidden pockets in his jacket lol.

49. Who is the driver/ Who is the passenger?

Dice is the Driver, Peppermint is the Passenger.

50. Who is the hopeless romantic?

pfft, neither? i dont think Peppermint is and Dice certainly isnt.

idk why y’all keep asking DiceMint for these XD dont get me wrong, i love doing them, i just dont know alot about Peppermint. so thats a downside to this. but i added alot of info on Dice here to try and make up for it! i hope this is okay!
