Laios superfan and Monster ultrafran anon back again! I am now curious about all the dragons that appear. They're summoned by Thistle rather than ocurring "naturally" in the dungeon, but I'm left wondering if all the dragons have a common ancestor....

Actually, do any monsters have an evolutionary line? Are they just spawned as-is into the world, and can only exist in the dungeon? Are they products of The Demon or are they actual creatures?

Because Laios does mention Doppelgangers existing in his homeplace, but also mentions that the dungeon is a giant pool of mana that without which some monsters couldn't survive (i.e. Falin Chimera, which he considers making smaller or into a different type of dragon with Those mushrooms). And then in one of the tidbits, Thistel spawns in a Giant Mega Monster, but it has to be fed a whale every 30 minutes, which just doesn't seem like a sustainable metabolism for a creature to have.

I understand why Miss Kui didn't give us the phylogenetic tree of every monster ever, but I do have a paleontology degree and I can't help but wonder about these things.

Hello! That's such a cool degree!!

There's definitely monsters living in the surface, I was wondering about that too because of the Chimera Falin thing, here's the pages about dragons from the Adventurer's Bible, it includes what level of the dungeon they can be found in but some of them don't actually live within the dungeon.

I can only imagine they had some ancestor that's the same since something like a nightmare is still considered a dragon even thought they don't look like one, monsters in dungeon meshi seem to be animals that have been influenced by magic/mana.

There are monsters who are magical creatures tho, in the sense they're created using magic instead of something naturally occuring, perhaps Thistles ultimate monster is one of those? Since he feeds on spirits and not meat

Mana is everywhere in the world but more condensed inside the dungeons, so my guess would be that the bigger monsters live in places where they can absorb the most mana? Or in places where there aren't many other big monsters to out compete them in mana consumption? Perhaps Falin in the first floor of the dungeon is more akin to trying to keep a deep sea fish alive in the surface? or wait, perhaps like someone that lives on sea level and goes abruptly to a higher altitude without time to adapt.

But a creature like her would be better off away from other monsters that consuming the low mana reserve? Lots of assumptions.

okay i just got into f1 at the end of the last season. Can you explain some things to me- a hesitant Mclaren fan??

Basically why is the team so good this year and if Zak has proven the success of rookies, why don’t more teams follow suit? i’m so curious and also i wanna know everything abt Oscar and his war with Alpine?? Is Zak the team principle? why is he always there if not??

This one isn’t abt Mclaren and even tho i know it’s controversial i still don’t really understand but; What exactly happened in Abu Dhabi 2021??

alright so i typed up this whole thing once and then tumblr deleted it so now you’re getting the shorter and more annoyed version, apologies

here we go, more drama this time mclaren edition

zak brown is the ceo of mclaren racing. some ceos are also team principals (horner, i think toto?) but he is not. he’s also not an Owner i don’t think. but basically he’s the ceo of all branches of mclaren racing including f1, formula e, indycar, super e and esports. admittedly, he is a more involved team ceo. like he appears regularly on their social media pages and at the races and on the pit wall and all that, but he’s not the team principal. that’s andrea stella. andrea is in charge of the f1 team, zak is in charge of all the mclaren teams.

teams need three things to do well, good drivers, good car and good team. supposedly this year mclaren has all three.

lando and oscar get along and have proven they are both good drivers. they are on the younger side (lando is 24 and oscar is 22) and i think they’re the youngest driver pairing on the grid, but they have both proven they can do the job. they are also willing to work together, as in, none of them threw a fit if one had to pass the other and also they’re in it for the team first, personal success second. which is key. you can’t have your drivers feuding cause then they do stupid shit (ie nico rosberg and lewis hamilton)

oscar and lando have both driven the car at this point and they said it went well. but most people say the first test goes well. however, they started shit last year and then made upgrades to get better so the general hope this year is that they will start good and get better. i think lando said in one of his interviews that he was something along the lines of cautiously optimistic (he doesn’t like to say he’s confident because then it looks bad if they suck) but we will know more about the car at pre season testing this coming week.

as for rookies. not everyone signs them cause they’re a risk. and if you’re a big team with an good name and reputation then you might not want to risk it. this past year there were three rookies. nyck devries who failed to score a single point at alpha tauri and was swapped out mid season for daniel ricciardo. logan sargent who scored only one point and it was because two people in front of his dnfd. admittedly he was in a williams, but his teammate manages to score 20 something points so. and then oscar, who i think finished with 80 something points ans a few podiums. oscar was in the better car so he naturally did better, but also he still could have flopped tremendously. and that’s why a lot of the bigger teams like to have the new guys proven themselves first in a shit car cause then if they’re in a good car they’ll really do well. signing a rookie tho is a risk, as it’s been a rare occasion for them to win anything or even podium in their first season. and that’s not great if you’re trying to win a title.

when lando was signed to mclaren he had already been involved with the team for a few years. he was in f3 in 2017 when mclaren noticed him and then made him a test and reserve driver in 2018. now some people (haters) point out that Oh Lando Was A Pay Driver until he was in f1. (meaning, his dad is a millionaire and he basically backed him his whole racing career. so he didn’t have to get sponsors because he had his dad. this is basically what lance stroll does) but when he got into f1 he said he didn’t want to do that anymore because he doesn’t think that that’s what you should do in f1. some people think he only got his seat cause of this, but objectively, mclaren noticed his good performance, not the money part and in any case, his dad doesn’t sponsor him anymore. in any case tho, he had already driven mclaren cars in tests prior to getting his seat in 2019. he was also quite young. 18. but he also had a decent rookie year (not quite as good as oscar but also the car was more shit then than it was this past year).

the oscar piastri alpine drama is basically that he was alpines test and reserve driver for 2022, exactly like how lando was for mclaren. alpine was losing fernando alonso for 2023 cause he was going to aston martin and they were like oh this is fantastic we can sign oscar now and give him an f1 seat. oscar had been in the alpine drivers academy for a few years when he was in the junior leagues (which basically means that they sunk a lot of money into his career). however, aparently alpine announced that oscar was driving for them in 2023 before he had signed his contract. and oscar didn’t appreciate this.

mclaren had unexpectedly an open seat after daniel ricciardos contract was terminated early and i guess oscar had been in contract talks with them. because he tweeted this:

which is nothing short of iconic. then alpine tried and failed to sue him for 4M USD. he dodged a bullet by going to mclaren.

and then abu dhabi 2021. without getting into it too much cause that’s insane lewis hamilton and max verstappen went into the race with the same amount of points. it was the last race of the year so whoever won that race was going to win the world championship title. there a lot that happened at that race that was weird but among the weirdest thing was that towards the end of the race there was a yellow flag, and a safety car. which means that all the cars got close to eachotjer again. now, hamilton had a comfortable lead over max at this point because there were five lapped cars between them. basically, those five cars were a lap behind hamilton and verstappen. sometimes on safety cars they allow the lapped cars to unlap themselves (go around the safety car and back to the back of the grid so they’re in the correct order). and for some reason. they allowed only the five lapped cars between hamilton and verstappen to unlap themselves (which is weird and unfair) and thus verstappen ended up winning. the whole race was bonkers and batshit tho and i would highly reccomend watching that drive to survive episode because they actually show the bonkersness pretty well.

Error and Ink headcanon

real tiny TW of triggering people on purpose so be warned(its only mentioned once)

so lets say hypothetically, if all the creators were to lose interest then the multiverse would die a slow and sad death until only the void is left. Now Error and Ink obviously are the only ones with direct contact to the creators so lets just say that any sort of truce or peace between sides tends to bore a lot of creators(enough to cause worry). They want action! drama! death! all of the above. So! every time the multiverse comes even a little bit close to a truce, lets say dream and nightmare get close to apologizing to each other and/or the council starts to learn their ways that would be the eventual end of the multiverse(In their eyes) so Ink and Error have this mutual agreement to continuously fuck shit up even if it cost the both of them their relationships and lives.

Error does this in an obvious way, by doing what he does best(destroy, and by proxy bringing creators back so they can create more to replace them and stay out of spite) but i think he would make truces with people like fresh and the council and such only to break them off on short notice or barley work with them at all and cause general mistrust. In think he would be betray Nightmare and foil his plans a lot because even if the bad side wins in the end that's still gonna turn constant and for many creators(unfortunately) that's just as boring as a world that's happy all the time. Error would definitely fool the council into thinking he's a good guy and even being content with it himself until the creators start to pester him and bring his intrusive thoughts back out.

In the other hand Ink would stay content for a while playing the good guy and encouraging creators to make more universes to keep it alive however in times of desperation he would turn to other measures such as leaning into his chaotic good to neutral side and even betraying dream for Nightmare starting as small favors and possibly even tuning into something bigger(im squeezing in some hypothetical Inkmare cause i can, but kinda one sided wont say for who tho). He'd even break his own rules of not interfering with a story just to get an "interesting" sans out of it to bring old creators back to a creation that they had once long forgotten(basically giving out more trauma like pokemon cards).

The both of them would see drama between two san's or people and both actively think of ways to make it worse or stretch it out for longer then it should have initially been as well as being everyone's #1 instigator and i think Ink especially(but also Error too) would "accidently" trigger people mid fight to escalate things and just ruin any chance of rekindling old friendships unless those friendships and relationships are "interesting"(Ink) or "worth it"(Error) in the long run.

The creators voices(Error) and creative drive of the creators(Ink) would most definitely sway them and if they're in the middle of messing something up but the creators suddenly seem to have a change of heart or find interest without any intervention they would stop what they are doing and leave them alone finding something else to do.

And when the day is done they would both meet up in outertale(an au the creators seem to love and therefore almost never gets touched besides from a visit or two) sit down side by side and both silently wonder what life would be like if the creators didn't have to be there and they could both let the Multiverse run its natural course.

(i imagine them to have some sort of QPR here but this is up to how you interpret it!)

Is it rude to ask why you hc rain as she/her?

oh no, its absolutely okay!!! it's a good question actually, I don't know if I'm even able to explain how I feel about it. I'm gonna do my best and to make it easier, for big rain I'll be using just rain (he/him) and for regressed rain it'll be rainy (she/her), if that makes sense hahahahsh

okay so I think rain in general is the most mischaracterized ghoul (besides the girls, I feel like they're a different story entirely). his stage presence changed a lot since we first saw him and it's very hard, at least for me, to pin a specific personality traits to him. I did have a similar issue with dew when I first started writing and tho I got him now, rain is still tough. he's not shy, but he's not "loud" (of course I don't mean literally), he's not rough or angry, but he's not really calm either. now he likes attention, begs for it sometimes, but back then he was hiding in the back of the stage and twisting his leg anxiously. I think this is easily explained by the unmasked ghoul getting more stage confidence but I always look at the ghouls as having their own lives and stories that may influence their stage presence

the thing with that is I see so many different characteristics in rain I can't decide on any specific way to write him. if you'd go through my fics you'd find a million different versions of rain

with she/her rainy, though, I think I gotta explain why I think rain regresses in the first place. in my head it's because of her disabilities, pain and anxiety. sometimes the regressed space can be nice and allow her to relax and forget about big world problems, but sometimes it makes all the feelings she's having bigger, as if the regression takes some kind of a filter off, yk? and I see taking off that filter also as something that makes rainy let go of some things and be that cute little princess "version" of her. yes, rain does get called a princess both big and small, but rainy is a princess and she knows it shgsgss

it's kinda like boys being young and having dreams like "I wanna be a firefighter when I grow up!" and she just wanting to be a princess but alas - boy (it'd still be okay ofc, we know my thoughts on gender roles and stuff but yk what i mean). she's not trans for me, but she needs to be able to let herself be that princess yk? it's easier and most natural when she's regressed and that's it

this also ties to my own feeling about gender stuff and everything, but that's not important. I hope this ramble makes at least a bit of sense, ugh. to try to summarize, maybe, let's say that I see rain as a princess but due to a lot of different and sometimes even opposing characteristics I see in him he can't be that princess all the time, and being regressed is kinda a solution to this

RoR: Issues with Kyoshi's supposed fate (her power and purpose)

Spoilers for the Roku Novel....obviously (as well as Kyoshi's novels, ATLA/LoK show and comic will be touched on. Lightly touches on Yangchen in her novels but not the plot). TT0TT

I have a lot of thoughts on Kyoshi's fate, but instead of one big post, I'm just going to do a bunch of smaller ones that tie into different aspects of it.

This one involves her power narrative and purpose.

Trigger warning under the cut as well (under the cut cause of possible spoilers)

TW: Suicide/Suicide mention

Ok so basically the novel wants us to be like "She went so far off the deep end, she stopped valuing human life and just found it easier to kill people! But then looked within and realized her time had come and possibly just let herself die. uwu"

So many issues, holy shit. Like....so many things that DON'T add up. It doesn't help that we literally don't go into how the world is shaped by her 230 years, not even how Roku is effected by it! And this doesn't even consider the darn "Every Avatar is made right for that era" spiel.

Now, I'm not against Kyoshi realizing her time has come for that era. Or if she always planned to self exit (both kill herself and just literally see herself out the gd door cause damn did she just....bounce! She really left us guessing TT0TT) because of one reason or another.

But I don't like how it was framed in this story (so far, cause I barely wanna give RR the benefit of the doubt >_>). Mostly cause I think we could've gone about her wanting to leave without vilifying her. I think it's more tragic if she just..... it was just too painful to live. Like she could've kept going, but she didn't want to because she missed all that she had lost.

And the vilifying is less of me being like 'My character can do no wrong!" and more "This doesn't add up with our perception of her later down the road, and it's not like a part of her legacy was hidden like Yangchen's was." Kyoshi is more up front than sweet scheme Yangchen (and to YC credit she schemed for a good damn reason). And it's not like she had a Kuruk to take the damn bullets for her. Kyoshi stood on her business. She never denied or diminished what she did, accident or on purpose. It was one of the few character traits we got out of that Avatar in the original ATLA. What we see is pretty much what we get.

But while the suicide route is viable. I really think we could've just....gone with a bigger hero moment. Maybe she dies by the hand of a spirit? Possibly protecting someone. I feel like that utilizes her extreme godly power to a much better use for the 1) the narrative and 2) "every avatar is made right for that era" mentality.

Cause......let's look at point 2

Yangchen: Was a schemer who stopped other schemey schemes from scheming. Her gentle and forgiving nature giving her a peaceful vibe. And all that accumulated to her navigating the world to peace. She brought balance to an imbalanced human world. The world needed someone who could navigate people into peace.

Kuruk: Was a powerful bending prodigy and amazing hunter. He used those skills to defend the human world against spirits that Yangchen pissed off. The world needed someone who could fight those spirits.

Kyoshi: Because Kuruk had to ignore the human world, corruption and crime became rampant. Kyoshi was born at the lowest rung so she could understand and fight for those who couldn't fight for themselves. She stayed alive for 230 years. We don't really know all the progress she made tho (we do know she failed in some regard, such as changing the Earth Kingdom's views on LGBT, or the fact there is apparently some daofei still hanging around 3 years before her death), but apparently she did A LOT of good. She accumulated a lot of power and.....we don't know what she did with it.

Roku: We're ignoring you :) (partially we don't really.....know a lot of his accomplishments that maintained peace, only really his mistakes, rather than me being a hater. We know he more or less kept the peace tho)

Aang: Ran away right before a war started, securing his people's culture to at least remain alive with/within him. Finished the 100 year war with a way of avoiding having to kill (which kept his culture's values alive). Giving the world a form of hope and peace amongst all the death and destruction.

Korra: A powerful fighter put through the ringer over and over and over. Constantly showing the world that it still needs an Avatar. The world is going through intense constant change, and she was there to help guide it through each change in its rapid current.

Taking what we broke down above and going back to point 1 with the "narrative," Kyoshi just kinda.....dies. There's still stuff she wasn't able to fully see through to the end. She probably COULD'VE but she doesn't, she dies. And her death is a mystery on top of that.

Then there's the fact she accumulated SO MUCH power and.....what was the point of it? Was it just in service for the Avatar state? (I thought the creators chose to make "Prime Raava" to be more powerful and 10,000 years worth of lives???? so what's the point there)? Why make her supposedly so freaking powerful if you aren't going to do anything with it?

I dunno, if she was going to become THAT powerful, it feels like it's building up to something. Someone who needed to suffer for 230 years, get that strong. I really think if they wanted to claim "yeah she got really powerful" then it should be in service of something. She sacrifices herself to defeat a strong spirit. Either dies in combat along with it, or, upon seeing the threat is gone finally let's go because she realizes her time had come (aka she realized that was the last duty she needed to perform as the Avatar).

It's the only thing that makes sense with what we are given. Between the time delay, the lack of knowledge, her having so much power. And the fact the last time an Avatar went AWOL (aka Kuruk) that wasn't because of an injury (aka Korra).....it was because of spirits. Which loops back around to part 2, Kyoshi was the Avatar that generation(s) needed, because it built up to that. The world needed someone resilient to last 230, gain power, and then protect the world from devastation! (....to unite all people within our nation-ahem sorry sorry got distracted >_> still fitting words jkldsajflk;j)

I dunno, maybe I'm too hung up on her being uber powerful. It just feels weird that she may have exceeded past Avatars by a lot and then.....do nothing with that. If they didn't make it feel like she'd basically obtained godhood, that would be one thing....but that's not what they did so. TT0TT

[lisannastraussisanangel]

I’ve really enjoyed a lot of your FT headcanons, especially the Team Natsu ones. I was wondering, how do you think the rest of the team feels about Wendy being as powerful as she is at such a young age? Or how Wendy herself feels about having that level of power? (I’m of the opinion that the sheer breadth and scope of Wendy’s abilities, especially with how expansive and powerful Enchantment magic was revealed to be, ought to be a bit of a bigger deal than it seems to be. Give a girl remarkable natural talent and learning aptitude, as well as access to magic that can essentially warp reality (because what else do you call altering the shape of a country and bringing objects to life), and you’ve got to wonder just what she’s capable of.)

I'm glad you like them! I always think about the scene when Wendy is first introduced and Jura, Ichiya and Erza are like holy shit this kid is strong. If Wendy can keep up with them now just imagine how crazy powerful she'll be when she reaches adulthood

Wendy

Because of everyone around her being so strong, Wendy didn't even notice how much she was progressing

In her head, she's still that weak/timid little girl that joined Fairy Tail

She knows she's gotten stronger technically but she's too busy comparing herself to people way older than her

She starts to realize just how strong she is when she starts matching the strength of the rest of her team. Nothing like throwing Natsu through a wall to make you realize you might have some power

Of course, she is very humble after realizing her strength. When it's given attention during interviews, she always redirects to talk about the rest of her friends strengths

It's just not in her nature to be cocky

She does train and study incredibly hard tho! Our girl puts in the work!

Carla

She knows Wendy is strong, but in her mind, Wendy will always need her protection

She also makes sure Wendy knows her worth

Carla will defend Wendy's honor and strength in every situation

She is also adamant about Wendy resting and not pushing herself. While Wendy is strong, it does not mean she has to be reckless

It took a long time for Carla to notice Wendy's strength. When she first started to realize was during Tartaros

Natsu

Natsu sensed Wendy's strength pretty early on. He didn't pay much attention to it tho

He only really started watching her after Fairy Tail got back together

It was almost impossible not to notice how much stronger she had gotten

Natsu, of course, loves it and is rooting for her to surpass him!

He tries to teach her the same lessons Gildart's taught him, but Wendy has already got most of it down

He has full confidence in her and will hype Wendy up at any and every opportunity

Lucy

She realized Wendy's strength during Tartaros as well

Lucy will forever be impressed with the fact that Wendy was able to take out a demon of Zeref

She knows that with Wendy's strength comes people wanting to take advantage of it. So Lucy is very protective

Lucy is always reminding people that while Wendy is crazy strong, she is still just a kid and needs to be shielding from certain traumas

She also pays close attention to Wendy's limits and will find ways to remove her from situations if it becomes too much for Wendy

It's very important to Lucy that Wendy has as much knowledge as possible, so she tends to go out of her way to find books and such to help further Wendy's education on enchanter magic

Erza

Erza makes sure to drill discipline into Wendy. She knew from the start how much potential Wendy had

But Erza also knows how dangerous that magic can be unchecked

The older Wendy gets, the more Erza trains with her

She worries that Wendy could become drunk with power and begin to look down others, so Erza always takes the time to make sure Wendy's morals line with Fairy Tail's (its an irrational fear but Erza has seen what a taste of power can do to some people)

Erza worries a lot about Wendy and the situations she might end up in because of her crazy potential, but Erza will never voice them. Instead, she is always supporting Wendy and encouraging her to grow

She is a very proud big sister!

Gray

He takes the longest to realize Wendy's potential. To him, Wendy is an adorable little sister. He doesn't think about her in that way

Gray finally realizes Wendy's strength when she brings Juvia basically back from the dead

He cannot believe the little girl has gained so much power in only a couple years

Gray feels indebted to Wendy and offers her any help she could ever need growing up

He knows it'll only be a few more years before she surpasses him. Part him wants Wendy to become S-Class before him. She deserves it

He also tries to keep her humble. Everyone is always singing her praises and he makes sure she doesn't let it go to her head

Ego causes the death of many powerful mages and Gray is determined to have Wendy live a long and healthy life

[penname-artist]

So I know that "avian" universes have been created by a few Planes folk, or at least just by buddies @c-119 and @ask-dusty-boy (that I'm aware of currently) but I'm quietly toying with a similar idea of my own, just on the...Opposite side of the scale?

By which I mean, goddamn tiny bird people.

So this is where I wanna dump all of that plated spaghetti of unsorted ideas. I have lost my writing muses so pardon the mess.

I know for normal-sized people to have bird wings, generally the rule of thumb is that you make them bigger, and their wings much bigger, to reach accuracies and such for how they'd get into the air. And also power. Big powerful bird person cool.

For me, creating my own little side-dish sandbox of "human Planes characters but with bird wings so I can play birds too because fuck you still you one human person from an unspecified number of years ago who wouldn't let me play with them" means going the other way. Making them TEENY. fairy sized. Dollhouse scaled. Itty-bitty please do not step on them little bird babies.

This might also be so I can save a bunch of DIY dollhouse items to my Pinterest and melt over them with an excuse that I'm "conducting research" for such a world.

Anyways.

Somewhere I already said and or drew or did something where I was like "Blade. Hummingbird boy. Nuff said." But like LEGIT, I bring this up again. He would have a hummingbirds wings and have similar qualities. Probably would struggle with discerning reflective surfaces in bright sunlight so he's probably hit his head more than once on stuff.

Baby go boom, pass out on ground for while til someone hands him an appy juice (natural sugar is very helpful for replenishing an exhausted hummingbird's energy)

Dusty is probably one of those small wild birds you hear in the morning. Maybe like a robin or something. Loud in the morning, chirpy, big on vocalization and tree branch hopping

...Nick's probably a chickadee. The colors tho. The little round ass fucking body, that thing is so B O R B. He is small round borb. A mess of feathers.

I also won't take literal fairies off the table here because that would be an interesting combination. Or butterflies! Or moths! Or literally any other type of small creature capable of flight. And the likes, for the non-fliers as well

*cough* spider Maru *cough*

Fuck now I want to ironically make Cabbie into some kind of tiny bat thing

The SJ can be his bugs- I mean um beetle styled people

GUYS, NOBODY SLEEP ON KEEPING TINY BIRD PEOPLE IN A DOLLHOUSE AT HOME THO.

I imagine there's a terrible pet industry for them if that's the case, but my point still stands that if you take good care of them you should get to have them around as trusty companions! Maybe less like a pet hamster and more like a befriended hive of bees

They have predators. Likely just any animal that would eat what they would be animal-wise. But like not each other. That'd be weird. Also if that was the case Cabbie would be down like, five Smokejumpers. So no it's just the big pred animals going after them not them after themselves

Cats are NOTORIOUS for getting to them. I fully believe Rip would have set one on Dusty in their final race, on purpose.

They probably aren't like, just woodland fairy like creatures anymore, like the stories would have you believe. I think they'd all be integrated somewhat with the modern world and have a lot of evolution themselves, so they basically have scaled down versions of everything normal humans have, even down to styled choices of clothing...well, minus the added wings

They probably don't lay eggs

They do molt though when stressed

I have to imagine there's SOME sort of process to the insect ones on shedding skins?? That's kinda gross but like? It's nature??

*cough* spider Maru *cough*

Catching them is probably illegal, especially inhumanely (ie in ways that injure or risk injury to them, like using bug nets, zappers, etc) and accidental capture (like from mouse traps let's say) may be fineable

(okay but someone stuck on a sticky mouse trap is kind of funny to me. They have such an angry grin and the occasional 'flflflflfl!' of wings)

That's it that's my post byeee

[snarkylinda]

I’m very glad you’re talking about spencer being parentified because it feels like people sometimes gloss over it a bit? or maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places. if this isn’t something you do in you’re blog feel free to just. not respond but do you have any more thoughts or. idk headcanons on how that might have affected him as an adult?

Hi anon! To be honest I have no idea what is essentially discussed alot on the fandom other that a tiny fraction of it I expose myself to because 1#I am too tired and old to deal with fandom discourse about my blorbo, and based on my previous experience with fandoms I KNOW that the most popular the character, the bigger the discourse so haha no- 2# I joined in late lmao literally a couple of months ago, so I am super out of the loop just screaming to the void in desperate needs for someone to scream back 🤲🏼 do this kind of asks actually made me so happy agahagaha 🥰🥰 Buckle up bois this is LONG-

Ok now to those that might come across this and ask themselves what the hell does being parentified means, it's a broad term used for the phenomenon of (at best) a child sharing parental responsibilities due to x circumstance, or (at worst) downright having the parent/child dynamic completely swapped, with the child being the caretaker for the parent and household. You don't have to know deep CM lore knowledge to realize the latter is Spencer Reid to a T. Hell, they aren't even subtle about it lmao:

Btw parentification is often mixed in with abandonment and while they share the "child being forced to grown up" too quickly, the former is often distinguished by the fact that, more often that not as is this case, the parent still cares for them but are unable to do so how it should be (tho there are several cases where parentefication is an part of willing neglect, sadly) and added to the fact that they have to look after themselves- they have to look after another.

This is a really complicated, broad topic and I just mentioned this to go full disclaimer and that I don't blame Diana at all for how messed her son ended up since she can't help it- and to make a joke about how Spencer was abandoned and parentified. Also harassed. Guys he wasn't even 18-

Anyways but back to your question, how do I think that affected Spencer growing up....well in everything basically lmao

But I will take on two instances that had stood up to me the most: emotional management and hiding secrets.

The second one is easier: you would catch this man dead before he vents to you over something other than his shitty dad (that I find very funny tbh) and when he does is because he is at his limit and about to fucking cry.

Now don't get me wrong: we all are entiltde to our privacy. These are grown ass adults and they have lives outside of their working circle....

Right?

Haha we have an problem-

So yeah, Spencer kind of actually needs to rely on his co-workers because he has literally nobody else to rely on-

And yet

Oh here is the thing- Spencer is one polite boi but he is also blunt, if he doesn't want someone on his business he says so (look back when Alex discovered him and Maeve) this is literally "I wanted to tell you but I feel like I shouldn't"- this is not season 1 mind you, this is season 11, and yet here he was one of his oldest friends literally grabbing him by the arm and having to tell him it's never a bother- I am the only one fucking crying at this?

Excuses seems to come to Spencer like it's second nature- "sorry a tube on my apparment broke" "Oh I....I tripped!" "There was a lot of traffic so..." "I was watching an movie" and I am not am expert on USA's history or some shit, but Child Protection Services had been a thing since at least the 60s, so I don't think that a 10yo living alone with his mentally ill mother would have flown well- you get the idea.

I think this scene summarizes the whole thing perfectly

Get it? it's irony. (I love how Spencer is about to say something like dismissive "thank you" but because this shit hit too close to home to comfort he just gave a polite smile and walked away. That silence was LOUD) Because Spencer had always had done the former but the latter er.... :D

And it's not only when it concern Diane btw, any problem whatsoever Spencer would rather lock himself up (literally lmao) that sit down and talk about it- it's only when his bs is exposed and he can't refutage (like that little scene after Gideon's death when Rossi asks him if he had been there all night- he points out the fact he is wearing the same cardigan as the day before) that he opens up....or he runs away, which leads me to the second big point that I think shows how much Parentification fucked him up:

Spencer has the emotional maturity of a teenager.

I talk about this literally all the time so I'll be shorter lmao basically Spencer... has an issue- ok he has lot of issues- and that is the way he dislikes direct confrontation, so whenever he is hurt or angry he would rather be dismissive and passive-agressive that talk it out with the person- even going as far as turning away and storming out of the room.

(Here is the part where I put the screencaps but him storming off would be out of focus so lmao er.... Elephant Memory, Memoriam, Proof, a little part in 15x2 and The Gathering)

Now... I do think that a grown-ass man doing this shit is hilarious, like I love Spencer's bratty side so much lmao but it's an clear sign of someone that never learned how to deal with his emotions on a healthy way, someone that 6 out of 7 days of the week had to interiorize everything in and because of that holds on so much....resement, so much repressed anger but also without an stable force on his life to help him manage that- so we are left with an teenager trapped in an adult's body, loss at how to handle shit like he always did.

....And want to know the worst part about an Parentified boy onto adulthood?

That they don't know better.

if there were to be video or something that came out of jk doing something clearly romantic w a girl, would u think we misinterpreted tkk all this time and were just reading into their interactions way too much? or would u maybe believe they were together at one point and ended it? maybe they’d be in an open relationship? or maybe it rlly was for show?

i didn’t follow ur blog at the time of when the shitstorm happened w the sasaeng taking a video of jk and a girl in his apartment (ik it’s an old topic but it’s one of the only things that gets in the way of tkk for me) but i’m interested to know ur take on whether that video was a romantic interaction or could’ve been just friendly? i believe it was 100% a real video and at first i was so heartbroken and confused abt tae and jk’s relationship. i grappled back and forth w the nature of the interaction in the sasaeng video for a while but the more i watched it the more i thought okay wait it’s like a 15 second video taken super out of context of just one location in his apartment where u can’t even rlly see if they’re alone or what happened prior. and it could be platonic (there were pics of him back hugging his female tattoo artist who was just a friend) especially if he’s not straight and the girl knows about that? i feel like there’s a lot more leeway w platonic physical affection between women and queer men than with straight men (even tho ik of friendships between both straight men and women that are also physically affectionate but still totally platonic). however, i sometimes feel like that sounds like me just rationalizing why it may not be romantic and being in denial. idk bc i don’t want to blindly believe in tkk but i can’t explain away tae and jk’s interactions as being totally platonic either so then i get super conflicted.

sorry ik this is rambling atp and it may be a topic u don’t want to address anymore but i’d love to hear ur interpretation of that whole scenario and how it affected ur beliefs and views on jk/tkk

It would be very hard to convince me now that there wasn't something between Taekook at some point, and it certainly wouldn't all be undone by a clearly romantic something between Jungkook and a girl. You definitely would not be able to convince me that what they did was "for show". Their relationship is authentic no matter what the nature of that relationship is. I've been a Taekooker for a long time now and I think I'm older than the average here. I not only have plenty of receipts for my belief in Taekook, I have context for all of those receipts because I was here when it happened. I was much more active on Twitter when the tattoo artist "scandal" happened, and I actually got tagged with a few of my TK friends by the first shady accounts trying to spread it. When I think back on that time, I just feel bad for everyone involved. Even the tattoo studio staff, who were harassed mercilessly and had their shop vandalized. That had much bigger impact than the recent video, but it's funny because when I saw the convo around that I was just thinking I've already seen him back hugging a woman. If that was enough to debunk Taekook I would have bailed in 2019. The intention of this rumor was exactly the same as well. It follows the same pattern as every other. Post something with no context and that's actually not proof of anything, but spin some wild stories about it. It's very easy with interactions between a man and a woman. Every person I see still posting it everywhere says the woman in the video is his pregnant gf. That's obviously not true. People freaked out because they were told more was coming. That didn't happen. I agree with a lot of your second paragraph. I don't put more weight on interactions just because they're between a man and a woman. I do think it's weird that a few seconds without any context would be enough to question just because it is a man and a woman. I've had plenty of interactions like that with male friends I had no romantic feelings about. Hell, when I was Jungkook's age if a stalker wanted to they could have gotten video of me hugging and kissing people I also had no romantic interest in and never dated. That informs my perspective on things. It's not just heteronormative, it's all a little puritanical to me. I actually wasn't blogging here until a few weeks ago so you're my first ask about this. I appreciate your message. After days of nothing, I got yours and then another (which I'm not going to post because it was obviously someone trying to start shit) a couple of hours later about the exact same topic, so I was a little sus about people trying to troll. But your questions were asked in good faith so I wanted to answer genuinely. Hope you're having a good weekend. ❤️

🐰🐥 // fem🐥, voyeurism as punishment.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

Lix is sitting on the floor between minho's legs, in front of a mirror, her legs spread as she toys with her pussy and makes him watch. He's forbidden to touch her but he can hear evey hitch of her breath, feel her legs shaking against his. He revels in the way she's grinding her ass on his hardening cock and he whimpers, a pathetic little squeak against the shell of her ear; this isn't about him tho. She pays little to no attention to, her gaze fixed on her slick folds, and her fingers gliding through them, teasing her clit. Teasing her entrance. She angles her body well enough so that minho can see every inch of her, every glob of slick dripping from her that he knows he's never gonna taste. And he knows better than to ask.

Massaging her clit with her thumb, Lix uses Minho's thigh as leverage to sit up properly s that she can plunge her middle and ring fingers into her. She makes minho watch s she takes herself apart on her own fingers. He wishes it was his finger. He longs lap at her folds like man starved, but he brought this on himself. So now he has to sit and watch as the love of his life brings herself to orgasm without him, and there's nothing he can do about it.

Lix then licks her hands clean, never breaking eye contact with minho, and he looks like she'd wronged his entire family. Then she takes mercy on him...or at least he thinks that's what she's gonna do. She tells him he's gonna fuck her until she's satisfied and he's happier than a kid on Christmas morning. But then she tosses him a strap and instructs him to put it on. And he's confused, naturally.

"I...I thought you said I could fuck you?" He asks, on the verge of tears, is aching hard cock bobbing in the cool air.

"You didn't think I'd let you fuck me with your own cock, did you? Please" She chuckles. "You're still being punished. Now put it on. I will lot be repeating myself." She commands, and Minho's moving without so much as a second glance.

Pathetic little thing he is. He gets so embarrassing hard every time she makes demands of him. And to rub salt in his perverbial wound, the dildo she chooses is significantly bigger than Minho's cock. There's something gratifying about it even if i hurt his ego. But there's nothing he could do about that anyways, not that he would if given the chance. He's just her obedient pet. She can use him however she sees fit.

TDI 2023 S2 Rant Pt.4

TD Review Pt.4

Spoilers Down Below.

…………

Episode 7: I'd like to start this review off with a question. Does everyone remember in S1 where nearly every episode started with a millie and priya training scene? Well now they're just doing the same thing but with Caleb instead. This shit lazy asf. I can't get behind Caleb x Priya. I'm sorry.

I thought Bowie going would give Raj the determination to fight. But he instantly forgave Julia?? Then why the fuck is he still here??

The creators made their own mess by confirming a 15 year timeskip and then bringing back Owen with an unchanged design. Either commit to the idea or don't. I'm fine with either option.

Maybe I'm tripping. But do the Hockey Bros seem dumber in this season? I remember them being semi-competent in challenges in S1. Maybe the cassowary gave them brain damage.

Remember how Axel said she was gonna demolish MK after finding out she was cheating in episode 6? Does this dynamic get explored at all? No because we need 50 ripaxel makeout scenes pronto!

Even with the unchanged design, I think they made the cameo feel natural. I remember the ROTI cameos where an OG character would show up for a second and then get blown up.

Lots of lore about Julia this episode. (Sweet Little Julia's, good at cooking, hates her parents) Fanfic writers about to go crazy.

Imma be honest. The ripaxel double elimination scene is probably the only time I actually enjoyed them. Ripper metaphorically and literally dragging Axel down represents their time together in S2.

Episode 8: Sometimes I like to watch td reaction channels to get a second opinion on things. And this one guy made a really good point about how this season seems to focus more on comedy and slapstick rather than character interactions and growth.

I think this episode is a perfect example of that. It's mostly just slapstick. The highlight of the episode is the secret reveal. Other than that, it's just the characters getting hurt.

MK being an ankle biter is funny tho, I will admit that.

Looking at it from a writer's perspective, it makes sense why Zee left over Caleb. Zee already fufilled his purpose and Caleb still has a story to tell. But last episode they specifically mentioned that Axel was voted off over Ripper because she's a bigger threat. So why wouldn't they vote off Caleb?

I think this issue could've been easily solved if they just gave Caleb immunity.

I gave into temptation and looked at the thumbnail leaks. So I have a rough idea how the rest of the elimination order is gonna go. If the leaks are true then it's so joever.

Knack x Godzilla.

Considering Knack can grow to the size of a small/average kaiju, maybe bigger if he has enough relics, the crossover would be interesting. And imagine if he's actually a type of kaiju himself, natural or artificial. There's entire relic temples, and I wouldn't doubt relic golems like him might've been worshipped like the kaiju in this context. And he's basically indestructible, given his relics aren't damaged or destroyed he can just reform any that get knocked out, like in the second game. Would definitely give Goji Ghidora flashbacks with the sunstone powers tho. Or remind him of his moth wife and he starts crying. Knack would probably get alone better with Kong though; they bond over their human companions. Also I can most definitely see the relics actually originating from inner earth.

I won't lie that I read this and thought of the 'I miss my wife' meme but it's Godzilla saying to it Knack. Also the Doctor would absolutely make a kaiju on sheer accident. Lol

Both universes do seem like they fit together quite well but I bet Knack's eventual reveal to the world had Monarch knock on the Doc's door very quickly. Study ancient ruins is a given for the organization considering a good lot depicts or worships Titan. Monarch has theories that Knack's form could be mimicking an one. Bets are either on an undocumented species or Great Ape.

They were definitely surprised by his intelligence as our boy is one very smart cookie. Or a chill mischievous fellow who definitely pranked some poor agents with his size manipulation. Getting Knack to dance is easier than Kong.

Speaking of the big K, they definitely been introduced. It took offering the chance to meet a Titan for them to agree. Jia and Lucas definitely bond over having nonhuman sibling figures. Kong did stare at Knack in obvious confusion. Add surprise to the list when the tiny 2' ft fellow bulked up to 32' boi.

He definitely isn't gonna reach Kong's size(337 ft) without giant relics but Monarch can now check off 'be mistaken for a Mini Great Ape' on their theory list. Knack's nickname from our alpha ape is 'Tiny' much to his embarrassment however the two get along very well. Monarch probably has a stash of giant relics for him to borrow so he can either team up or spar with Kong in a kaiju clash.

Speaking of Godzilla, he definitely senses Knack during a casual swim. The golem was training his abilities near a Monarch facility at the time. Godzilla witnessed Knack using his Super Moves(specifically Blast) and unconsciously thought about Mothra(man's still mourning).

Cue one 393 ft giant lizard plucking a 32 ft golem off the ground alongside a shit ton of people just panicking. Knack was so confused at Godzilla's sudden friendly behavior before someone joked about the titan mistaking him for a whelp and missing his moth wife. He's practically dying inside from embarrassment as it sounds about right.

Godzilla tends to show up unannounced if he senses Knack nearby. Like an oversized curious cat that prods at their new(reluctant) kitten. Monarch and the Doctor just document everything as a mellow Godzilla is a rare sight.

Knack deals with it even though he had to get used to being called a 'Pup' by a thermonuclear lizard in kaiju.

💙 for gabs and loux if you wanna uwu

muse relationship headcanon game

who curses more?

loux omg. does this need an explanation? lskdjfd they first met and he'd already said fuck 3 times and shit twice i'm pretty sure. the proof is in the scarbuncle puddin

who is more patient?

i feel...i feel like gabriella is. she's so sweet, right, until she's not but still. loux is patient in a lot of ways but he's also somewhat impulsive and extreme for no reason or because of impatience. :I it's gotta be gabs

who does the driving?

loux cannot drive. physically. like he understands how a car works, but cannot work one himself. do not let him get behind the wheel of a car. gabs'll live but nobody else will. if she even has a car. i juST-- fuck it, he'll pay somebody

who is louder? who is quieter?

i feel like context matters cos they're both monstrous in their own ways. she more eldritch and he more divinely animalistic. the noise comes from them killing things. otherwise i think, in a general sense, loux is loud and talkitive where gabs is more shy, quieter in that sense

who is more physically affectionate?

loux. no one will ever beat him in this, i'm convinced.

who is more likely to tease the other?

loux again. sexually, conversationally, like. :/ gotta feel for gabs on this one. she will know no peace

who is better with time management?

i feel like, since gabs holds down a regular job, h-her. there's something about that screams she can do it better than him, i'm just saying. but loux's still kind of always busy, doing his own fucky sort of work, and still making time to be a teasing, goofy 'can i getcho numbuh' ass guy with gabs ksjdfh

who wins the arm wrestling matches?

depends on if magic and tentacles are allowed or not, but my answer will probably always be loux if only because he's super competitive and i don't think gabs cares about this kjdfhs

who controls the music in the car ride?

i imagine they would take turns, if they had a car, but i don't think it really matters? to them. house music is different though. loux's got hyper-specific playlists for everythang

who covers dinner when they order in?

what? loux, and he won't take no for an answer so she's gotta deal. them's the breaks. never ask a lady out and then not pay for everything, in his mind

who is more outgoing? who is more shy?

loux's gotta take it again cos the man's a social butterfly. he's here to rizz and be obnoxious and flirt and make a girl feel good-- y'know, about herself

who has the more outlandish fashion sense?

loux. i'm saying loux right now. gabs is alternative in a sense, but loux be out here in wizard armor and robes okay

who starts the tickle fights? who ends them?

oh loux's gotta be the one who starts them and if he can get away with it, he will end them too. ahem. with kisses. u kno, he can be chaste and not a complete menace--

who has the darker/more “edgy” sense of humor?

loux again. homie's a 12 year old in a cod lobby

who is more competitive when it comes to games?

loux again. he's naturally competitive in general and i don't see gabs being down to play against him because of how competitive he is. he's at least a good sport most of the time though

who has the bigger appetite? the bigger sweet tooth?

do...well, gabs eats people in her eldritch form yes? that's one hell of an appetite. loux is a walking garbage disposal and has to eat even though he doesn't really enjoy the process much. he'll eat anything tho

who is more likely to get in a confrontation in public?

loux :I naturally aggressive, just calculating about it. and will fight anyone, without reason or mercy if he feels like it

who hosts the parties/hangouts? who organizes them?

i feel like they both would here, but loux especially since he's persistent

who is better at cooking? do they ever cook for each other?

i'll say they both can cook but loux is bonkers about it. if he's cooking, she's gonna just sit there and look pretty and that's that on that. he loves to cook, loves it, and holds it in such high regard he manifests a third personality as gordon ramsey. very extra. he'll eat whatever she makes, but when he's cooking, he's cooking

who is more likely to engage in dangerous and/or illegal behavior?

loux. entirely loux. i don't have to explain skjdfh

who is more likely to notice when something is wrong with the other?

this depends on context. loux's an idiot but he's incredibly observant and perceptive, whether he does anything about it is a different story. i feel like gabs would be more sensitive about it

who does the talking in public settings (i.e. to the waiter at a restaurant)?

loux sometimes, depending on where they go. but he's not one to trample over someone's autonomy except in certain situations and generally only regarding people he doesn't like

who is more likely to extend a helping hand & provide emotional support?

i feel like gabs? would be. loux will, but...hmm. i'm not sure it would necessarily be helpful or even a hand worth taking

who is the bigger prankster? do they get the last laugh or do they suffer for it?

loux and he better suffer for it

[epickiya722]

how can you be a fan of mirko and hate bakugo tho??? they have basically the same personality.

And you know what, this is one of the few times where it's the MALE character that's hated while sharing the same traits as a FEMALE character.

I said this is the recent ask I just answered, but I really think it's because Miruko is a hot woman.

Don't get me wrong, I find her attractive, too.

But seriously though, let's be honest, with Miruko her personality doesn't matter when she's a rabbit woman with a cute face. I have made a post about it before so long ago, but Miruko has to be the most sexualized female character there is in BNHA.

I don't see a lot of people wanting to explore her more character wise as they do with Midnight. Who is a canon sexual character.

Like I bet you right now, go into the Miruko tag and you'll see more fanart pictures of her where her tits and butt are drawn way bigger than she naturally has before you see a headcanon post that doesn't touch on how she can screw the reader.

Back to Bakugou, I also feel like it's the case of popularity.

Miruko isn't that much of a popular character, she isn't. She's just getting the acknowledgement due to her showing up more in the manga and anime.

Before her appearance in season 4, I doubt anyone remembered or cared for her from the manga. (As a opposed to me who saw her in the manga and went, she's already became my fave. It was her lines that got me.)

And when she was animated, people were more antsy and racist to her English VA than to hate on Miruko as a character.

Bakugou, on the other hand, has been present since day one. And even then, he already got fans, grew in popularity. He has reigned #1 since, what, the second popularity poll?

So guess what?

He's easy to hate on.

With many fans, there's going to be many haters because "Oh, look, more people to bother". I feel like half of the time, his haters don't really be hating him. They just look for easy targets to bother because they're bored.

Like I don't see Mineta fans get bothered. Some I'm sure do, but at best they're ignored like Mineta himself who the fandom either hates or ignore exists.

Overhaul fans. Despite him experimenting on Eri since she was a toddler? Don't see them get bothered much. Why? Overhaul isn't that popular of a character.

People want to pull the "He is a bully" card as if Bakugou hasn't acknowledged that himself. Yeah. As much as people preach about kids being kids and they can learn, they sure do get antsy about a fictional one admitting he was a complete ass and has issues.

Something quite a bit of ADULTS in REAL LIFE won't even do.

So far, I have only blocked 1 person who was anti Miruko but so many anti Bakugou blogs.

Like even if I hated Bakugou, I'd probably still be blocking anti Bakugou posts just for the fact a lot of antis tend to be trolls. That's how annoyed I am.

Your whole blog dedicated go hating a character?

WHY ARE YOU SPENDING ALL THAT TIME BEING NEGATIVE?!

[ask-the-kh-crew]

Don't know if anyone asks this yet or not, but uh, Roxas, do you ever think you'll forgive Riku for what he did in the past to both you and Xion? Like maybe not even fully forgive him, just enough to tolerate being around him if that makes any sense. If not, do you think the two of you will just fight it out here and there out of spite?

Again sorry if I made no sense ^^'

Makes a lot of sense, actually. It's something I used to think about a lot.

It's difficult for me to imagine fully getting over what happened, having everything taken away from us. Even now that we're together again, it hurts to think about the time we spent apart. And when I think about that hurt, I think about Riku.

But I also think about Xehanort, and the way he ruined the lives of so many people aside from us. The more I learn about him from the others, the more I realise how we were all just puppets or pawns to him. It was all so much bigger than me, Xion and Riku. Both of them did what they did because of DiZ and Saïx, and they only did what they did because of Xemnas and the fake Ansem. And in the end, they're the fault of Xehanort, so it always comes back to him...

Plus, if I'm gonna stay mad at Riku for trying to sacrifice me and Xion for some guy I didn't even know, I'd have to blame Xion, too. And there's no way I'd ever do that, so whenever I blame Riku I feel kinda bad. He'd do anything for Sora, in the same way I'd do anything for Xion. Speaking of Sora: when I first disappeared inside Sora's heart, I could still feel and think a little bit, and all I felt was anger. Anger at Riku and this guy he sacrificed everything in my life for. But then, I got to know him a little more, and I saw just how much light was inside him. I accepted that it really had to be him, because he was the one that could bring everyone back. And after seeing him reunite all of us, I can't help but feel like Riku knew he was gonna do that all along. He trusted him, and now I do too. He makes a good other, after all.

Anyway, Xion told me her and Riku already talked about it some time ago: the conversation lasted about an hour, and apparently most of it was just Riku apologising to her over and over. But I didn't feel like talking about it (especially not for that long) and I think he knew that, because he didn't try to talk to me one-on-one for a while. Whenever it was just the two of us, there was just a long and awkward silence until one of our friends showed up again.

But then, a couple of weeks ago, he came to my room after visiting Naminé and asked if he could ask me something. He looked kinda nervous and so I assumed he was here to apologise, but then he... asked me if I could teach him how to skateboard.

Yeah, turns out he thinks it looks pretty rad when Sora does it and he wants to impress him, so he came to me for help. For the past couple of months we've been meeting up every Thurday to practice around Market Street, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fun (although it'll take a while before he can do mid-air 360s: he's not exactly a natural).

I still don't know if I can ever truly forgive him, but I don't think Riku could ever truly forgive himself either. The least we can do is to try to make the best out of the awful situation we both found ourselves in. And if we still feel some resentment for each other after that, we'll just have to do what Hayner and I always do when we're mad at each other: have a Struggle match to swing the anger out of us and then have ice cream afterwards. Works every time.

(Xion keeps trying to take pictures of me and Riku together, sometimes without us knowing. I'm not sure why and it's kinda annoying but I just let it happen atp. No photos of us skateboarding tho because "Riku always looks a little like a dork when he does it" and I don't disagree lmao)
