#and boy oh boy idk how MG will be affected but i know he will be

[keeperofmemory]

hi. i watched the seven first episodes of Legacies and have (really long) opinions about the characters’ Hogwarts houses. (they’re under the cut because, like i said. long.) 

i’m using @sortinghatchats​ ‘s way of sorting (that i’m like... way too obsessed with) the way this game works, you have two houses (both equally as important): - your "primary” is WHY you do things (motivation/values) - your “secondary” is HOW you do things (methods/skills) 

HOPE MIKAELSON Hope has grown up within the Mikaelsons, who claim “Family is Always and Forever” (capitalisation intended). They use that vow to justify any and all actions, however cruel may they be, as long as it’s to keep their close ones safe. This girl has grown up in a family that is as Slytherin as they get. But she’s also still a child who was involved (?) in both of her parents’ death, and the trauma of these events have brought her to become a (mostly) Petrified Slytherin Primary. (A Petrified Slytherin is one who has come to believe, whether through death, betrayal, abandonment or otherwise, that making connections with people is not worth the pain that comes with their inevitable loss. They close themselves off to any kind of meaningful relationship because the consequence of losing them is too much of a risk considering how strongly they attach themselves to the people they select as their own.) 

So we begin the show with a Hope who claims to have closed herself off from making any sort of close relationship, who’s known on school grounds as a lone wolf (no pun intended). I, however, don’t think she petrified all the way, because you can see that Alaric is clearly an individual she’s latched unto as some sort of parental figure. Still, every time she can feel her heart go soft for Landon, she leaves. She can’t afford to just hand out her trust like that. People she lets in have a tendency of dying on her, you see.

There’s also a theme of responsibility that tends to make its way back on her shoulders. It could almost look Hufflepuff, this way she runs after Landon to protect the school. But she calls this her fight. Says Landon was at this school, got the knife, put them at risk of exposure, because of her. This is her fault, her school, her responsibility, and steps up with possession, with loyalty. When it’s time to vote on whether Landon will stay at the school or not, she says he has to leave because they can’t keep him safe. If he stays, it’s their responsibility to protect him. He becomes theirs. At this point, I think she’s already begun to include him in her inner circle, which explains why she insisted he leaves. She probably would have wanted him to stay if the circumstances were different, but this was about putting the people you love first. The right thing to do is to keep them safe, no matter your desires.

So she’s in the process of de-petrifying; you can see that she slowly begins to take in the idea of relying on other people, on letting them back in. She tells Raph she’s here if he needs someone to talk to, gives Josie a birthday present that keeps her safe, calls Penelope and MG her own Avengers squad. It’s a beautiful process, seeing this girl slowly learning to let herself have friends again.

I think she also models a Burnt Hufflepuff Primary. She wants so badly for the dragon lady to give her a reason not to kill her. She’s begging for explanations as she brandishes a knife. Hope also seems to hold a desire to simply belong. Not be supernatural, not be a loner, not be a tribrid, just normal, like everyone else. (It’s interesting, the parallel between Hope wanting to be normal and Landon wanting not to be, while both simultaneously want to belong.)

Her secondary is an impulsive, go-getter Gryffindor Secondary. Her way of handling things is just running to fix them, right now. She doesn’t care what she needs to get there: breaking rules, cutting corners, upsetting people. She needs to make things right. When Landon steals the knife, her motivation is part responsibility, part revenge. But the way she goes about it is that she charges. She disregards the rules about using black magic on school grounds, brings along a killing spell not caring about what anyone might think, lies to Raphael about giving him a whole 3 minutes to try things his way, and immediately shoots Landon against the wall. When Josie’s in trouble and Alaric needs her help, she takes a shovel and just runs into the woods without a plan. Hope finds the headmaster’s methodical, analytical way to go about things slow and ineffective. She discredits safety for results and recklessly rushes into things. It tends to get her into trouble.

LIZZIE SALTZMAN Lizzie Saltzman has a particularly selfish brand of a Gryffindor Primary that looks terribly similar to a Slytherin Primary. See a Gryffindor is defined by the way they interact with their system (instinctively, by trusting your guts and pursuing your beliefs), and not by the contents of the system (in this case, a prideful, selfish and loyalty-driven one). Her motivations, the things that fuel her actions seem to consist of two things: pleasing her dad, and her pride. She’s on board for losing the game because she wants her dad’s attention (not for the greater good, or the safety of the school), carries out her dad’s mission and acts like a caricature of a hero at Mystic Falls High because that’s how Hope acts, and it usually garners her father’s attention. And yet, when Dana takes several jabs at her and wounds her pride, she says “screw this game, screw the safety of the school, screw what dad cares about”, because making her feel like she doesn’t matter is wrong. Her dad tells her to stop going after the monster and she hangs up on him because her gut is telling her this is the right way to go. She gets mad at her sister for keeping the black magic she did with Hope a secret, and at her dad for keeping secrets with Hope that his daughters don’t know because not being truthful to the people close to you is not right. It’s an odd moral compass she has there, often based around her pride (this girl has a lot of self-esteem issues to sort through), but it’s one that’s intuitive and felt. 

Lizzie performs an obnoxious, overly confident Gryffindor Secondary on top of what I think is an actual Gryffindor Secondary. She unabashedly talks about her assured win at the elections, calls herself an influencer, asks Josie about what colour her outfit should be at the victory rally. She stands up in front of a crowd and calls herself a “hero”, tries to order people around with comic book references. It’s a performance that people don’t react well to, because it looks like a performance. Disingenuous. But when she tells her teammates that the way the opposite team treats them is not right, there’s something in the way she believes in what she says that inspires. People follow. She stands up to her dad when it matters, and when she says “let’s do this”, this charge gathers the people around her. They take down the bad guy. 

There's something unapologetic about her. She meets her problems head-on, without changing a thing about herself. Both her and Josie have a Slytherin system that fuels their actions, but where Josie tries to please her dad and get his attention by submitting to his rules and listening to him (Hufflepuff secondary), Lizzie does it by going all the way, and overboard (“we’re going to fail this game as epically as we ever have! let’s kill a giant spider like Hope would!”)

JOSIE SALTZMAN Josie’s Hufflepuff Secondary is so loud it’s often the only thing people see. She’s good at making people feel heard and shows care with kindness and dedication. Hufflepuff secondaries invest fully in whatever they do, and Josie does not love halfway. “[I get my heart broken] on the regular. I care too much, it’s kind of a problem,” she said once. And you can see it in the way she still goes after Raphael to calm him down even after he yells at her to leave him alone, leaving her with tears in her eyes. She doesn’t give up on people. If anything, she’s dependable to a fault. In fact, Lizzie has come to rely on the way her sister always shows up in her every time of need. Josie goes missing the entire night of their birthday and it’s only when a boy breaks her heart that she notices her absence. “Where is my sister?” she asks as soon as she gets hurt, because she’s so used for Josie to show up every time she needs her. Hufflepuffs also tend to generate trust and a sense of safety. That’s what makes Raphael open up so easily that night in front of the bonfire. There’s a steadiness in her that makes it easy for people to show softer parts of themselves.

I think she might also have a Ravenclaw secondary model she whips up from time to time. I think she sees the usefulness in being observant, level-headed and prepared (think her studying offensive spells in her free time because the curriculum doesn’t cover them).

Josie primary’s a Slytherin, meaning her idea of what’s “right” is based around the people that are most important to her. She insists on losing the game and doing the community work harmoniously because it’s what her dad wants them to do. It matters to her because it matters to him. And Josie is content with following her father’s rules for a while, until following the rules puts the people she loves in danger. At that point she stands up to her dad, telling him his rules aren’t enough, and they should be learning offensive magic to protect themselves. And it’s not fairness or doing the right thing that drives her to do this, but the safety of the people she loves. You can see the clear Slytherin in her in the vote that decided if Landon were to stay the school. (That situation was a mess of Loyalists with different definitions of who they called theirs — but that’s another story). At the end of the day, Josie is going to put the safety of her family and her school before anything else, and won’t feel guilty over it. (Her inner circle consists of her father, her twin, and when it comes down to it, the school.) A Hufflepuff Primary would treat a stranger the same way they would treat their best friend — or would try very hard to. A Slytherin Primary doesn’t think they owe people in general but do think they owe everything to their own people. Her decision to make Landon leave was one of a Slytherin primary that said “I protect my own. This school is my family and it’s mine. I will make the hard call in order to keep them safe.”

She’s also a pretty obvious case of a Slytherin who kicked herself out of her inner circle, meaning she’ll be prioritizing the ones she loves fiercely and selflessly, but exclude her own self. (It’s what makes her look like a Hufflepuff Primary a lot of the time.) She puts her sister’s needs above her own in every circumstance without flinching; tells her crush to give her sister a chance the moment he seems to show interest in her, whole-heartedly tells Lizzie she’ll do everything to step down as the representative in the honour council so she can take her place. Penelope tells her Lizzie sucks the air out of every room she’s in and she replies with insistence: “She’s my twin. We can share oxygen.” Heck, she’s smiling when she tells Jo that no one will notice her missing from her own 16th birthday party. Josie Saltzman, bless her heart, doesn’t know how to be healthily selfish yet, because she’s lived being codependent for too long. When she tries, it looks like setting her ex’s hair on fire, or freeing a monster loose on school grounds.

PENELOPE PARK Penelope Park has the signature quick wit and knack for deception and manipulation of a Slytherin Secondary. Flexible and cunning, she improvises and adapts to the situation at hand. (Think her snatching the opportunity of Josie thinking she’s running for honour council without batting an eye, or just every one-liner that comes out of her mouth.) But she pairs that Slytherin Secondary with a Ravenclaw Secondary Model she clearly loves using. She’s a quick-footed strategist who loves making long-term plans to get to her goals. (Penelope Park canonically has “strategy sessions” and mentions “long cons”, like, twice.) “I do everything on purpose,” she told MG once, and spent the rest of the episode standing tall with her arms crossed, a confident smirk on her face. 

She’s also an unapologetic Slytherin Primary who feels validated in prioritizing herself as well as the ones most important to her. The line “Oh, she won’t ever burn your world down. So I will do it for her.” is one I can’t stop thinking about because how much it screams Slytherin. This is a girl who hates Lizzie Saltzman almost viscerally because she believes she sucks all the time, energy and love from someone she loves, someone whom she decided is hers. And she’s ready to wreak havoc against Lizzie because of her, through clever manipulation and long-term plans. Penelope puts Josie above any sense of morality, politeness or fair-play. She’s even ready to be hated by her, clearly someone she cares very deeply about, if it means Josie can find herself and get every ounce of love and space and care she deserves, in the end.

MG MG is a Hufflepuff primary who is beautifully devoted to the community in which he belongs. Hufflepuffs tend to hang some degree of worth or identity in their allegiances, and MG is a young and impressionable Puff who cares very much about the opinion of the people around him. He does things because there are rules in the community he’s part in, and he likes to please people, including the ones in a position of authority. Eventually, he does break the rules, but only because following them put people in danger. “People get hurt if I’m weak,” he said. And he wants, needs to be strong enough to protect them. This is about obligation, about loyalty. (And note that even when he decides he will be feeding on humans, MG has trouble actually doing so because he feels bad. They’re people. And people have worth, you know?) 

His Secondary is also a Hufflepuff. He invests himself in the people around him with service, dedication, and consistency. He brings Lizzie brownies after she gets attacked by the gargoyle, visits Kaleb and offers him blood while telling him he’ll make everything right. He woos the girl of his dreams because he’s put in the work. He’s invested in her since day one, gathered her favourite flower, colour, dessert, music, and song to put up one heck of a show on her sweet sixteen. Hufflepuff secondaries’ reputation also tends to generate trust in the people around them, and this boy has gained the headmaster’s trust enough that he has the school phone. I think MG might also have Gryffindor models, both Secondary and Primary, that he’s beginning to develop. He takes them out when he’s out slaying zombies or standing up for what he thinks is right (whether that is respecting women or duelling a guy for stealing his moment).

LANDON KIRBY 
Landon Kirby looks to me like a Hufflepuff Primary who terribly and desperately longs for a community to burrow into. All he wants is to have a home, to belong, even when it doesn’t make sense or when his safety is put on the line. He asks to stay at a supernatural school, again and again, even when he knows he’s human, even when the headmaster has said no, even when he wouldn’t feel safe there. He’s just a boy who wants to be part of something that’s bigger than himself. 

But I think Landon models a Slytherin Primary from time to time; perhaps he’s begun to bond to individuals as a way to keep himself from Burning through his years in foster care? The way he puts a great amount of importance on standing up for the people that matter to you looks like a Slytherin’s loyalty: for them, it’s wrong to abandon your people and right to defend them. It means the world to him when Hope takes the time to change the sky of that cellar (this boy looked at her like she had become the sun) and it crushes him when she belittles him all day at Mystic Falls High. 

When backed into a wall, Landon naturally slides into a Slytherin Secondary and uses it incredibly easily at that. He lies like he breathes; pretends to be compelled so they won’t throw him back in the transitional cellar, keeps insisting he doesn’t have the knife when he does, lies to Raphael about the threat he received on the dollar bill, tells Hope about feeling safe in the school without flinching. I don’t think he likes to use it, but only because the community he’s trying to join disapproves of it, because it hurts a person he cares about. (Like the true Loyalist he is.) 

I think Landon might model a Ravenclaw secondary at times, when he’s not in danger. He collects information, asks a lot of questions. (“Wouldn’t you?” he retorts when Hope points it out.) And he’s observant, good at noticing things. The way Hope leaves when she gets a bit too close, the way she talks about her parents in the past tense, how she uses anger to keep herself from letting her guard down.

RAPHAEL WAITHE Raphael has a steadfast Gryffindor Secondary that colours every action he makes. (It makes it hard to figure out his Primary.) This boy has an incredible sense of morality (has to keeps his word with Lizzie through and through, is offended when Hope accuses him of lying), but this shiny brand of integrity is self-defined. He doesn’t just adhere to a system because it’s there. He already has his own. These rules are a deal with himself, not others. And there’s something very honest about the way he carries on with things. He never lies, always carries along with the truth, a steady thing. He’s honest about his intentions, even when it’s hard (think him telling the truth to Lizzie on her birthday), and you always know where he’s headed. Not to mention he has a way of charging into the things he believes in, like going after the Alpha position for Landon. 

Speaking of Landon, Raphael is a Slytherin Primary who basically only has Landon in his inner circle, and puts him above everything. It’s interesting to notice how Landon fervently seeks a bigger community, while Raphael is perfectly content with only having his brother by his side. Raphael is ready to give up the safety and stability of a home to be on the run with Landon, believes him at his word despite the evidence pointing against it, and literally beats up an alpha to take his place just so Landon can have a chance to stay. This boy is fearless loyal, and clearly bonds to individuals much more than he bonds to groups.

KALEB Kaleb has a loud Gryffindor secondary he uses to meet his problems head-on. His own integrity is put above social harmony or any set rules; he has defined what is right for him, and screw whatever anyone else says. This genuineness and bluntness inspired the vampires (like it usually happens with Gryff secondaries) and they all rallied behind him when it was time to elect someone to represent them in the honour council. He stands up and shouts it from the rooftops, these things he believes in. He doesn’t speak out without every fiber of him ringing with certainty. And people rally behind him for it. 

I’d like to sort Kaleb in a Hufflepuff Primary; we haven’t seen that much of him so it can easily be argued otherwise, but he talks a lot about sticking with his people, about “them and us”. He has a community mentality: “vamps before tramps!” he repeats to MG again and again, and won’t let Landon stay in the school because if you let one human in, they’ll take everything away from them.

ALARIC SALTZMAN (This is only based on his character on Legacies. I haven’t watched TVD in years.) Alaric Saltzman loves to live in a Hufflepuff Primary Model and does so almost at all times. He has built a community around him, one that provides safety for supernatural kids, and has decided to put them first. (This “community first” mindset is one he tries to teach his kids — Hope included.) Alaric is also a man who adheres to the concept of “every person is a person, and therefore they have inherent worth”. I mean this is a man who kills monsters to protect his kids, but still gives every one of them a proper burial. Sits down with a dryad who can bring chaos to the world if set loose, and talks to her like a person, shows compassion for her losses.

It’s a model he lives in almost exclusively, until his daughters’ lives are threatened. Josie gets taken by a monster and suddenly his Slytherin Primary appears, in which case he goes: “Screw the world, screw the potential apocalypse. This monster has my DAUGHTER.” Lizzie is put in danger and he chastises her, telling her that being a hero will never be more important than her being safe. You can also see it in moments where the kids at the school are put in danger (think Matt warning Alaric about them); there’s a particular sense of possessiveness that comes out, which leans more towards a Slytherin than a Hufflepuff (whose loyalties are more broad, having more to do with a sense of belonging). These are his kids. “If you threaten my kids, Sheriff,” he warns him through gritted teeth. “I’ll be the one coming for you.“ 

Alaric has a Ravenclaw Secondary he shares with Dorian. He’s faced with an impossible problem of folklore creatures making their appearance in real life, and he turns to books for investigation. Methodically tests different ways to destroy the knife. Jumps in front of an attacking gargoyle because his research said he would be safe. He likes getting all the information he needs before proceeding, whether it’d be with the mystery surrounding Landon’s identity, or the monsters that head his way. (Hope’s Gryffindor secondary doesn’t understand the purpose of waiting, and rushes into their problems instead.) He probably has a Hufflepuff Secondary Model, too. I mean he’s built a community around him, literally. And he likes to do things with compassion and purposefulness, by helping others.

(As for the other adults, I think Emma is a Hufflepuff/Hufflepuff, and Dorian a Ravenclaw(?)/Ravenclaw)

tl;dr

Hope and Raphael are both Slytherin/Gryffindor. They prioritize the individuals they call their own and do so by charging into things that stand in their way. (Hope’s just in the process of letting people back in.)

Penelope is a Slytherin/Slytherin. She puts herself and the people she loves first through cunning adaptability and long-term plans.

MG is a beautiful and impressionable Hufflepuff/Hufflepuff who’s learning he loves to model Gryffindor/Gryffindor.

Kaleb has an “us vs them” mentality of a particular type of Hufflepuff Primary, and meets his problem with his own brand of integrity, typical of a Gryffindor Secondary.

Lizzie is a Gryffindor Primary with a very Slytherin-seeming system. She performs an obnoxious Gryffindor secondary performance under an actual inspiring Gryffindor Secondary.

Josie is a Slytherin Primary who’s ready to make the hard calls to protect her loved ones, while having kicked herself out of her circle. Her secondary is a Hufflepuff; quiet, caring, dedicated.

Alaric, like his daughter, has a Slytherin Primary that comes out when his kids are in danger. But he mostly lives in a Hufflepuff Primary model, treating everyone like people and solving problems with his Ravenclaw secondary’s analytical and methodical approach.

Anyway, you can read more about the sortinghatchats system here! (It’s fun! especially if you’re into personality tests and character analysis)

[notthatiwilleverwriteit]

idk if you’ve ever been asked this but what do you think is the boys love languages??? i think MGS is (secretly) cooking and words of affirmation. the other 3 boys...im not really sure so i would love to see another opinion on this <3

Hello, dear anon!

Oh, these kinda asks are always so fun!

I’m not really familiar with the different types, so I did the 5 love languages test on HERE while pretending to answer in character. The site asks you to pick between two different options based on what would be more meaningful for you. Sometimes it was hard to pick if I felt like neither choice really fit the character, but I tried to go for the one that fit better. In the end, the site gives you percentages of how the different types are represented in you.

Click on the pictures for better quality!

Mo Guan Shan

According to the site, MGS’s love language is acts of service (33%) and words of affirmation (30%). I could see MGS appreciating if someone he loves/cares about does something for him. He is a very proud person and insists on being independent, but I think he also wants everyone to do their part. As someone who also works hard, he would appreciate other’s effort. MGS also seems to prefer actions over words when he wants to show affection. He cooks, cleans, and offers concrete ways to help someone.

I was surprised that words of affirmation came out this high as well but I suppose it fits him too. Despite everything, I think he likes to hear praises and appreciation. Because of his trust issues, I could see MGS think that actions matter more than words. But I think words still affect him a lot and saying something positive to him means a surprisingly lot to him.

He Tian

HT was probably the hardest one to do this with. In the end, he came out as physical touch (40%) and quality time (27%). We all know how touchy-feely HT is, and I think touch is a very important way to show and receive love/affection/attention for him. If he’s worried, he touches for reaffirmation. If he’s scared, he wants physical comfort. If he’s happy or affectionate, he grabs a hold of you and holds you close. He doesn't like being physically apart if it can be avoided.

Another thing is that I think HT appreciates quality time. He enjoys undivided attention (both giving and receiving) when he’s being with the person he cares about. It doesn't have to be anything grand, just being around them is enough for him. In fact, it’s probably the mundane time spent together that he loves the most.

Jian Yi

JY also turned out to be physical touch (33%) and quality time (30%) but just spread more evenly. I think this combination fits him, too. JY likes touching (ZZX) but I would say it’s more about showing his love and affection. Physical contact isn’t his go-to for every need he has. But he does get a lot of reaffirmation out of well-timed physical touching, too. If he’s feeling insecure, small touch can do wonders for him.

His percentages were almost tied with quality time. I think also JY has that need for undivided attention like HT but JY’s vibe is a bit different. Both HT and JY suffer in loneliness, but JY is like a sun that withers by himself. He comes to life and shines in company, especially if it’s with his loved ones (ZZX). According to JY, the best things are probably done with the person you love, so go on an adventure with them!

Zhan Zheng Xi

ZZX came out similar to JY but just flipped around: quality time (37%) and physical touch (33%). To be honest, most of that description doesn't really connect with ZZX in my head, but I still think the quality time category fits him. ZZX shows love by spending time with you - whether it’s doing some activity or just hanging out. He doesn't demand your undivided attention but if you find yourself hanging out with him regularly, you most probably matter to him a lot.

I would say physical touch fits him too, although more in the giving sense. ZZX isn’t probably that comfortable with receiving a lot of physical contact (depending on the giver, I suppose). But I think physical touch is a surprisingly big part of him showing love, affection and giving comfort. He doesn't necessarily touch you often but when he does, it’s when you realize that you had really needed it.

Thank you for this fun question, dear anon!

Do you guys think these are accurate? What types do you think the boys are?

[casually-inlove]

aah i agree im vry disappointed in this chapter ! like its good like usual, but its kind of a let down after the last 5 chapters... ht rly exposed himself minutes before, and comedy aside, MGS answered him by ignoring him, and then saying "were not friends, were not as close as you think we are". it must have been hurtful for HT, its basically a rejection of recognizing HT vulnerabilities. and its totally In character for MGS to say this, so im not disappointed by it 1/?

i mean HT lay his heart down for Mo to see and theyve known each other for 15 DAYS, its too soon for anybody and especially for Mo who have mistrust problems to respond in the same way ? so running away and deflecting the declaration is cool, i wasnt excepting a "ill never abandon u!!" lol. but then HT being cool with this rejection and having a slapstick comedy just after doesnt feel right. mb show HT swallowing and being disheartened, and then put his usual facade and only then have comedy 2/?

would have been good, bc we would have known "oh ht is actually hurt by MGS reaction but doesnt know how to say it, so he plays it cool and change the subject bc hes still not at ease with being vulnerable". a realistic situation would have been "ht tried to be vulnerable but it was too soon, too much for mo who rejected him, so it confirmed ht biased thinking that showing vulnerabilities is bad and it will prevent ht to be vulnerable in front of someone in the near future". 3/?

i mean it could have been a nice although sad conclusion for this mini-arc, especially since ht have been grieving (?) his mother just this morning. a little step back, and then smth else happen and cause ht to crack completely but then mo is able to respond present and its a step forward. ok im daydreaming but that would have been climatic lol. instead this..ah i dont know i feel cheated, i know its ox' work but still haha ! like when they do an abrupt change of scene after an emotional page 4/

its a trick ox use often and after 300 chapters it feels old n cheap. when u engage in a emotional scene, u cant just do "oops i change my mind!!" and put slapstick comedy or ignore totally what just happened and dont have a progression. u have to stay on this road : u cant put traumatizing backgrounds and mafia affairs and mature problems (kidnapping, mother being threatening into prostitution,etc) n just.. not stick with it and making ur characters not traumatized by it and just 'lol comedy'.

sry im kind of monopolizing ur askbox lol, i guess im kind of frustrated ! it just the last chapters were so good and it was a while since ox use this cheap trick of not going through an emotional scene that i kind of forgot how terrible they were at handling transition between drama and comedy. theyre a good artist all in all (or i wouldnt be this disappointed!!), but they have this failing in their writing an it drives me nuts each time lmao. haa i hope next chapter will be better...5/5

Hell yeah, DEFINITELY, that sums up my thoughts. Also, you don't have to apologize, it was an interesting read and I can tell that you feel strongly about it. While I can’t say that I’m flat-out disappointed, as I wrote in my original post, I’m definitely feeling lukewarm and indifferent about the recent ch.

OX touched upon a few serious matters a couple of chapters before: namely She Li’s fucked up goading and the way it unsettled He Tian -- unsettled in no joking manner as follows from his reaction. Then we get He Tian swearing to beat up anyone who dares bully Mo, and the whole profound monologue from the previous chapter. Just as you say, He Tian truly laid himself bare there. One could argue that He Tian listed the reasons he was enamoured with Mo, or one could argue that he subtly commented on the milieu he grew up in, or one can even read it as He Tian admitting/reflecting on his flaws out loud. There are many ways to construe this scene, each of them is extremely meaningful. Not to mention it took HT visible effort to say these things out loud.

The problem which both you and I noticed is that OX left this mini-arc/mini-subplot unresolved. Instead, they abruptly switched to comedic relief. Much like you, I wasn’t expecting a big reaction from Mo -- no grand verbal declarations at very least. What I expected was a panel (maybe a close up of Mo’s face as I mentioned in my original post) that indicated he actually HEARD what HT told him, that it gave Mo some food for thought. 

As you mention, Mo getting disconcerted and doing the tsun-tsun escape is fairly in character for him. Still, a panel like this would have been very welcome to emphasize his confusion and to justify him not gracing the other boy with an answer, ignoring HT showing his underbelly (which is something that doesn't come easy for him, as we readers know). Okay, sure, OX handled it differently this chapter -- we get Mo silently running away and blurting out the first comeback he could think of. No problem. It works to show that HT’s words had an effect on him, albeit it’s much less pronounced, than, say, the Aquarium scene -- again one would have to wonder why: HT’s “don’t abandon me” is just as strong, if not stronger, than “I’m afraid you’ll forget me”, so it follows that Mo should have been just as affected.

The problem is the way an emotionally charged moment quickly fizzled out into comedy. As you said, Mo blurting out “we are not friends, we are not familiar enough, so I don’t care what you think (of me)!” SHOULD have hit HT harder. Just minutes before we had HT being genuinely disturbed by the idea of someone looking to intentionally hurt Mo, seeking physical comfort, being disquieted by the idea of getting abandoned and losing someone he likes, confessing that he admires the other boy -- yet when Mo utters yet another curt rejection of sorts, we are not shown HT’s reaction, which, logically, should have been there. 

And all of that emotional build-up is cheapened by an accidental dick slap comedy. 

Indeed, showing HT being hurt (disquieted? deflated?) and then putting on a cool guy mask, and ONLY then switching to a slapstick humour would have been more appropriate. It wouldn’t have taken a big or an overly dramatic scene either -- just, IDK, show HT’s eyes widening, or his throat clicking, or his posture slumping, anything to indicate that Mo’s words affected him -- that the whole thing mattered to him. Otherwise, it leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth: “so Imma confess to the person I like and swear to protect them and beg them to put up with me -- oh! forget anything serious that I said, Imma touch some dick now”. While I don't have an issue with comedy coming into focus again, I do wish it hadn't been this abrupt. Had there been a better transition between these scenes, there wouldn't be this "lol jk" vibe that I’m getting.

So yeah, I, too, feel a little cheated. OX certainly has an issue with drama-comedy transitions, which are sort of hit-and-miss for me. Sometimes they work well to alleviate the grave mood, other times they appear to be out of place. The recent chapter is the latter case. Dangling a possibility of climatic resolution for the subplot and then intentionally subverting it just doesn’t work in favour of the plot here. It cheapened the emotional part and made the comedy feel much less fun for me. Of course, no one says that writing is an easy task. Plenty of mangakas, for instance, work with writers to strengthen their script and plots, so it’s challenging when a single person is responsible for both drawing and planning the story. OX is undoubtedly doing a tremendous job. Still, I wish they wouldn’t stick to using the old trick this monastically because it's becoming a trite writing device and works against them on occasion. It’s totally fine to keep the comic light-hearted yet it’s not good to ignore the needed dramatic development.

Curious Cat: describing SVT personalities

J: kind and selfless to a fault, willing to sacrifice himself if it means letting the ppl he cares about flourish. he's very shy, yet at the same time, very easily excitable. he's a child at heart, but he'll only open up to ppl he is closed to. he clings to his members, seeking affection, playing pranks on them as a way to show his affection toward them. childish & clingy, but incredibly intelligent and clever. he's faced a lot of hardships, but the fact that he always holds a positive attitude is amazing. he's not greedy nor takes things for granted, he knows how to appreciate what he has, but constantly aims to ameliorate himself. he forces himself to be confident bc it helps him believe in himself in order to keep going. he's very humble about himself, but will throw a parade for his members. non-huihuis often see him as a weirdo, but i see it as him finally being comfortable enough to show us his lovable and eccentric quirks. overall, junnie is an adorable and sweet kid, who loves his members and triggers people's motherly instincts 😆 (god, i love him so much)

HS: spazzy but intense. we all know how he gets when he's excited and having fun lol. he's among the moodmakers, the one always ready to cheer you on and offer to help you. he is very kind and generous, and yes, spazzy lol. on the flip side, when it comes time to work, he is INTENSE. he's hard on himself AND his members. he knows when to stop goofing and get serious. he may be a little clueless when it comes to most things, but he's far from dumb. super passionate and determined.

WW: the hot nerd jk 😂 idk how it's possible for someone to be such a perfect blend of: confidence, intelligence, kindness, and playfulness. (not to say that the others are shallow FAR FROM IT), but wonu is just so deep? in everything he does, he puts in so much thought, carefully choosing his words and actions. he's the cool kid that gets cooler as you spend time with him. he tends to be on the quieter side (when not having fun with the rest of them), but he knows how to take charge and be assertive when he needs to. the way he cares for his members isn't obvious as some others, but it's there, subtle yet significant. something else i really appreciate from him is the amount of thoughtfulness he puts into something he knows is important--not necessarily for himself, but for others. like how he took the time to learn flower language bc fans gave him flowers, or how he continuously wore the bracelet that jun's mom gave 96z. and his determination and sheer willpower. god, that clip from HTR. he was ready to collapse, yet didn't allow himself to. the fact he was able to push forward and finish the show speaks volumes of his sense of responsibility and determination. *sigh* jeon wonu, you are the perfect man

WZ: tough marshmallow lol. bc he's strict, but also super soft and sweet! haha. if WW comes across as closed off at first sight, then WZ is basically a hermit lol. he's very shy, but he's grown to be confident and proud of what he's accomplished. of course there are still fears and worries, but he's by no means hesitant or indecisive when it comes to what he wants from his music. passionate and serious, but still sweet and caring. a man of few words, but many melodies and poems~

T8: very goal-orientated and ambitious. a realistic, but still able to dream and create beautiful art pieces that require imagination. a romantic. kind and sweet, but not overtly emotional. down to earth and practical. (the same can be said for wonhoon too but) not someone to condone BS lol. protective of his members. won't hesitate to snap back if there is injustice or unfairness. despite the serious attitude, a real loving kid.

MG: mr. perfect, with a slice of clumsiness jk 😂 a soft boy. the kind of friend you can count on. reliable and pleasant, friendly, outgoing. can get huffy at times, but it never lasts long. emotional. he just has A LOT of feels all the time about a lot of things. despite being pretty much perfect, he still strives to better himself, never letting his achievements get to his head. his clumsiness isn't limited to breaking/dropping things. some of the things he says sometimes does come across as a little tactless, but it's never with bad intentions. he's an all around GOOD BOY. very soft and gentle.

DK: the kindest soul~ most ppl see him as a little ditzy, and he does tend to be clueless and silly, but he has such a big heart. and a very good moodmaker! it's not for nothing that he's our sunshine! hahah. but he's so hardworking, too. and also super emotional. if MG channels his emotions through speeches and writing, then DK just lets his emotions flow out haha. it's raw and honest. not one to pretend or put on airs. what you see is what you get. an honest and kind boy :D

SK: sassy lol. he is such a delight tbh. one of the brightest spots in the universe. not only is he smart, he quick on his feet and can turn any situation around. sure, he nags and sasses his members, but he loves them so much??? also king at reading the mood in a room. king of entertainment. king of moodmakers. he can be loud and confident and funny and lead an entire show. but on the other hand, he is very sensitive and ALSO emotional. yes, he cries a lot lol, but he's also more likely to lash out when he's mad (which is actually hilarious to see ngl). among svt, he probably takes care of their image as idols the most lol.

VN: (anyone who comes to me with "VN stoner" comments will get smacked). he is a sweet and caring kid, mischievous at times, but doesn't have a bad bone in his entire body. yes, he's spacey, but he is true to himself and what he wants. he doesn't bend for trends or anybody's opinion, and i honestly find that admirable. even more so than josh, he is very mellow. he is much more of the listening type, but afterward, he will talk and give you his honest opinions. he doesn't mince words. very honest and true. also great supporter, even when he doesn't quite understand lol. while he seems pretty mature, the fact that he's still much a baby when it comes to everyday life is really cute.

DN: a very mature and independent young man. in a way, i think he's quite similar to Hao, with how he is very ambitious and strives to do/learn more and more, to hone in his skills. very passionate, too. he is very responsible and capable of taking the lead, which he does when it comes to dancing (only second to HS). he acts like a hyung lol (and you can see it pretty clearly in the way he and jun interact). i think he has an easier time being the maknae nowadays lol. a reliable young man full of passion!

oh, man. this is a huge essay 😅 i'm sorry it's so long! and i'm probably forgetting a bunch of details for each member, so pls don't get mad at me 🙏😭 these are just my own personal thoughts about each of them, even if they're lacking. all in all, we are very lucky to have 13 wonderful, kind, and talented young men.

ahhh thank you, my dear! please take care and stay safe, too! hopefully this is satisfactory 😅

(i should have ch. 17 out in a few days. thank you for the wait!) xoxoxo

[request] [scenario] sleeping beauty

(requested by @cosmic-weird-soul o mg idk wat this is im sry if this is a mess AHAH ty for requesting luv u <3) 

Title: sleeping beauty

Member: hansol ft. members

Genre: fluff // angst if u squint 

Word Count: 1649

“Uncle, when you said ‘summer job’ I was thinking more… You know, convenience store cashier,” you mumble, glancing out the window at the fans lined up outside, cameras flashing and girls screaming. “Not assistant manager for an idol group.”

He laughs, shaking his head as he pulls out of the parking lot. “I needed the help,” he shrugs, “Besides. I’m doing you a favor,” he grins.

“A ‘favor’?” You ask, eyes narrowing in suspicion. “You didn't…”

“Yup. I know all about your love for the boys.” The car comes to a stop at a light, and he leans in, voice dropping to a whisper, “I also know about your undying love for Jeonghannie over there.”

You hit your uncle in the arm, prompting him to burst into laughter. The car lurches forward, causing you to fall back into your seat. “Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me!”

“Secret?” Seungcheol repeats, leaning forward. “Hyung, there shouldn’t be any secrets! We’re a family here,” the leader pouts, turning to you with a grin. “What’re you hiding, hm?”

“Nothing,” you reply curtly, turning to look out the window. “It’s not important, anyway.”

“What do you mean?” Jeonghan pipes in, the frown on his face visible in the rearview mirror.

“I mean… I can’t be biased towards anyone anymore, right? I have to take care of you all equally.” The car erupts into chaos as the boys toss questions at you, throwing out guesses and assumptions.

“You’ve got to tell them now,” your uncle chuckles, “They won’t listen to you if you don’t tell them.”

You groan, glancing at the grinning Jeonghan in the mirror, your eyes meeting for a split second, before you avert them and turn a shade darker.

Jeonghan giggles, face unable to cease smiling.

“You two…” Seungkwan grumbles, “It’s Jeonghan-hyung! Look at how red she is from just a glance!” He shouts, pointing a finger at the elder accusingly.

The members grumble and complain for a few minutes, eventually letting the situation settle and slipping back into their conversation. 

“(F/N)-ah,” your uncle calls from the doorway, “Wake up Hansol, I’m going to take the rest of them backstage.”

You shoot him a thumbs up, tossing your phone into your open bag, zipping it closed. Hansol shifts in his sleep, mouth open, facing upwards to avoid ruining his makeup.

“Hansol-ssi, it’s time for pre-recording.” You shake his shoulder, only receiving a swat in return. “Chwe Hansol!” He jumps at that, yawning as he stretches.

“Oh… Sorry,” he says sleepily, “Didn’t get much sleep last night. Practice,” he mumbles, standing. He brushes past you, not bothering to wait for you to lead him.

“Uh, did I do something?” You ask, fastening your pace to match his, flashing your badge at the security guard by the stage.

“No,” Hansol replies, “Not really.”

“Not really?” You repeat, glancing at him. His brows are furrowed, expression unreadable in the darkness of backstage.

“Call it jealousy,” he says, disappearing into the large group of rehearsing boys, leaving you with the rest of the staff.

You watch him coldly glance at Jeonghan, before the frown on his lips form into a smile, courtesy of the gag trio. His white smile causes your heart to skip a beat, the idea of him - Chwe Hansol - being jealous because of you, making your stomach flip.

“You look like you’ve just seen a ghost,” your uncle chimes in, “What happened? Hansol doesn’t normally put up a fight, did he give you trouble?”

“No, no…” You grumble, sighing. “He’s… Jealous, of Jeonghannie.”

“What? Why would he -” Your uncle scrunches his nose, then a lightbulb goes off, and a grin is on his face. “Ah. He wanted to be your bias.”

“It’s even more embarrassing when you say it out loud,” you whine, covering your face with the palms of your hand.

You have to look away from the large screen backstage, unable to meet Hansol’s gaze, despite it not necessarily being aimed towards you. Being a rapper, his singing sends chills down your spine and causes heat to flood your cheeks.

Your uncle just sighs and pats your back, laughing quietly to himself. The day ends with a fansign, leaving you exhausted from collecting gifts and transporting the endless amount of them to the car.

“Geez, what kind of manager falls asleep on the job?”

You feel your seatbelt retract, and brush off the hand attempting to shake you awake. “Stop it,” you grumble, “‘ss tired.”

“God,” the voice says, “Fine, just wrap your arms around my neck, alright? Then you can go back to snoring.”

You comply, sleepily reaching for the other, wrapping your arms and legs around their figure. The car door slams shut, beeping locked.

You forget what happened from that point onward.

You somehow ended up in a bed, under a warm blanket and in a hoodie that smells and looks unfamiliar. There’s a small amount of light emitting from the cell phone screen of the male leaning against the bedframe, sitting on the floor.

You quietly shift, aware of the quiet, sleeping breaths of the other members, and lean towards the browsing male. “Hansol?”

“Oh, you’re up. Got a good nap, Sleeping Beauty?” He grins at you, the dim light of his phone illuminating his smile. “Gee, and I thought I was the manager.”

“Sorry.”

“Don’t apologize,” he says, “I know how exhausting it is to handle all thirteen of us. You did a great job for the first day.”

“Thanks,” you smile shyly, “I should go home.”

“Hyung’s asleep on the couch, so I don’t think you can.”

“Oh, then I’ll just take the other couch,” you suggest, “I don’t want to intrude.”

“No, really, it’s fine. Jihoon-hyung’s in the studio, and he’ll probably sleep there too, so I can just use his bed. Rest.”

Hansol pats your bedhead down before heading to the bunk beside you, pulling back the covers and slipping into them.

“Good night, Hansol.”

“Night, Sleeping Beauty.”

-

“Sleeping Beauty~ Give me a bite.” Hansol sits on the floor of the waiting room beside you, freshly styled. He literally and theoretically glows - and it has you unable to meet his eyes without turning pink.

“You can’t eat before a performance! You’ll get bloated,” you grumble, chewing on the stick of Pocky in your mouth.

“Huh? It’s just one!” He complains, brow furrowing when he notices you’re more focused on your Twitter feed than him - so he leans over, nipping off the end of your Pocky.

“AH!” You drop the piece of Pocky between your lips and cover your mouth, glaring at the smug Hansol, chewing victoriously.

“Thanks,” he says, brushing a piece of hair out of your face before standing, rejoining the crowd of boys gathered around the broadcast screen.

Seungkwan elbows his side, mumbling a quiet ‘I saw that’ before masking it with loud laughter. “Geez, the two of you are so obvious. And here I thought she’d for sure fall for Jeonghan-hyung.”

“What do you mean by that?” Hansol mutters, glancing up at the elder on the opposite end of the group, whose gaze falls on the blushing you, chewing on another stick of pocky, headphones in.

“I mean, he’s her bias!” Seungkwan more than shouts, and it’s times like these Hansol wishes Seungkwan had some sort of off button, because all of the members’ eyes are on them, expressions confused.

“Just because he’s her bias doesn’t mean she’s obligated to fall in love with him,” Hansol retorts. Seungkwan acknowledges that he’s poured salt on a fresh wound because Hansol storms out the door, slamming it shut behind him without so much as a word.

You feel the force of the door slam, and remove an earphone, looking up at the group of now-silent boys. You can’t find the familiar, soft eyes of Hansol, and you understand the situation from the guilt in Seungkwan’s eyes and the shiftiness of the others.

You stand, off to find him when a voice stops you.

“You really like him, huh?”

Jeonghan smiles haphazardly at you, a mix of hurt and affection in his gaze.

“Yeah, I do.”

You leave the waiting room and go to the place you know you’ll find Hansol for sure, the rooftop.

“Hey,” you say, finding him sitting on a bench, fiddling with the sleeve of his shirt.

“I’m sorry,” he immediately sighs, scooting over to offer the seat beside him, “I shouldn’t have run out like that. It’s just… If he’s your bias, what am I? What is this?”

“Hansol,” you breathe, “I like you.”

His head shoots up to look at you, eyes wide. “Huh? Wait. Me too?”

“What do you mean ‘me too’?! I’ve only liked you,” you grumble, crossing your arms and turning away. He chuckles and wraps his arms around you, shaking you back and forth.

“No, that’s not what I meant! I mean, I like you too!” He stops shaking you and sighs, dropping his head against your shoulder. “What about Jeonghan-hyung, though…?”

You shrug. “I dunno. Lately I’ve been distracted by my bias breaker.”

“Huh? Who?!”

“You, idiot.”

He grins, and you turn to face him, pouting. He brushes a strand of hair out of your face, pulling it behind your ear and sighing.

“Hey, you know how I always call you Sleeping Beauty? Her prince wakes her up with a kiss.”

He leans in, hesitantly, gauging for your reaction, but when your eyes close and you lean up into him he smiles and presses his lips to yours, lips meshing softly.

Upon pulling away, you giggle and mumble, “I’m not sleeping.”

“True,” he replies, kissing your cheek, “So look forward to it when you are.”

(almost) every anon ask since fall 2016

if u havent noticed i am BAD at answering asks so here’s a Big Dump of most of the asks i’ve gotten in the past few months

ps; i’ve excluded pokemon suggestions bc i plan on getting to them at some point

Hihihi!!! What brushes do you use in fire alpaca??  i dont do much in firealpaca (esp not lately lol) but when i did use it a lot i just used the fill bucket and the standard/default brush to fill in gaps n such lol! i dont really draw in it, i used flash/adobe animate for the lineart and just fill in color in firealpaca :3

when did you start animating?   uhh when i was around 11 or 12 when i started digital art i guess? i just used photoshop for the longest time then got flash when i was like 15 or so

 How did you get flash?  i got the creative cloud dealie, its technically required for my school :—-0 

 hello!! what are you majoring in in vcu?? im thinking about going there for college  im in communication arts! omg cool lmk if u come here ill tell u where to get the best bubble tea

 how many fps do you use for your wiggly animations? i work at 24 fps in flash on twos but just end up using photoshop’s 0 second frame delay/ “no delay”?

 Hey love your animations! What do you animate with?  adobe animate 2017! (previously flash) 

You mentioned a YouTube channel but I can’t seem to find a link to it? Do you post processes on there? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCovvoZxlQjFaIA7A3w_94Zw theres not much atm but i plan on posting a lot more, including process/speedpaints! 

i really like your art style gosh darn!!! everythings so fluid and stylized and nice aaa (also ur animations are goals) do u have any tips for someone still developing their artstyle????  WAH TYSM!!!!! compile art you already like and incorporate aspects from their styles into yours, BUT dont limit urself to one style! if u like something then try it out! do straight up copies (as PRACTICE, DONT CLAIM IT as your own ofc) of stuff you like to see how they work and what you’re clicking with. spending time on fundamentals is MEGA helpful so keep going back to that too! USE REFERENCES!!! draw …from ur soul…what makes u ..FEEL good

 how do you make that burn effect on your lineart? it makes it your pieces look sharper and even more interesting, it’s super cool!!  when i used to use flash for lineart and firealpaca for coloring a lot, setting the lineart layer on BURN with the coloring layer seeping a lil past the lineart would get this effect automatically 

(like on the whiskers. u can see it gets a brighter brown(?) and the warmer yellow on the ears)

but since then i’ve been using sai+photoshop more so i just do it manually! i’ll use this funny pic of me and my cat as an example lol

^i select the lineart/everything i want the funky color around

^slam that INCREMENT button a couple times

^make a new layer under the lineart

^fill that puppo with ur preferred color! something brighter works best, or even straight up white

that’ll give you something like this

then i open it in photoshop

and i mess with the pink line layer’s blending mode..color burn usually does the trick but depending on the Look you’re going for, saturation, multiply and overlay have some similar effects that look cool. 

i also usually get rid of the outermost edge of pink line that’s visible around the lineart, just so it looks a little cleaner? to do that you just select around your lineart, increment/expand selection, and delete/erase in the selection of the pink line layer

uhh yeah! lmk if anyone needs clarification on this, i have some other #TIPS on makin ur art look crusty and funky so…lemme know if you’re interested :—3

What do you use to animate? And, a more specific question, how do you make transparent animated gifs? adobe animate 2017! (previously flash) i export my animation from flash as a png sequence then open it in photoshop, where the background will be transparent and save it as a gif from there nyaaa

if anyone needs more clarification lmk and i’ll make a proper walkthrough :-0

 Hello!! Ur art is rlly pretty and so inspirational and nice to look at!! 💗💗 I was wonderin’ if ya had any tips on choosing shapes for characters? Like, when you draw shapes for a certain character, it looks rlly like it fits with the character’s personality n stuff!! ( e.g: Your Love Live! drawings!! The characters look so good in your style.) I’ve always admired how u did that n was hoping for some tips maybe?? Anyways, have a good day!!💛💖💟💜💝💞💖 HOOGA!! TYSM!!! and YEA you basically guessed it, i mainly just think about the character’s personality and translate that into a shape or Pheeling… 

especially for anime characters i look at the Very Subtle differences in the character’s original design..or possibly canon implications…for example kotori has slightly different eyes (it also says on her wiki page she has soft droopy eyes!) so i make sure to incorporate that Detãile

 anime wiki pages that have details like that is nice, for love live they have cute lil “charm points” which is really cool n helpful! listening to how a character is described in their world can give clues to what differentiates them which you can make more clear in your design

taking into account each characters context is good too, what they do/hobby/personality and how that could affect their appearance/posture/attitude

 YEAH its really fun to figure out certain characteristics and make it evident in their appearance! or. idk thats just what i do lol. hopefully this helps!

Have you ever seen the anime jojos bizarre adventure? alas i have not..i have some friends whom are into it so i’ll prob end up watching it sometime lol

sorry if this is obvious but!! are you the creator of Fork and Knife: Food Fighters?? your gif of fork is super cute btw!! yes i am!! wah tysm!!
