i actually didn’t like burgers until i became a vegetarian because ground beef in addition to beef being horrible for the environment is also so boring and swagless but a good black bean burger can make you see god

Petition for there to be a Kdrama based on Hannibal specifically so Lee Byung-hun can play Hannibal Lecter

I don't think Willow and Hunter start dating immediately after the events of W&D. They know they're something and they're both open to exploring that when they're ready. But they also agree that it would be in their best interest to adjust to their new normal and do some soul searching before they make themselves an official item. They don't consider themselves dating but they don't consider themselves single either. And the way the two of them approach their feelings for each other in this murky limbo state is vastly different for both of them.

Like if somebody asks Willow if she's in love with Hunter, it's like

Willow: Am I in-...? Well, it's...complicated. It's a very complicated situation we're in and I don't want to make any bold decisions right away. Do I love him as a friend? Of course I do. Am I physically attracted to him? Yes, but hormones don't mean love. Am I also emotionally attracted to him? Yes, but a crush isn't love. Do all of these things at once equate to being in love? Well, that seems like the kind of question that would keep a very nervous very scared person lying awake all night. Good thing that's not me, haha. It's not like I'm scared to be in love and I'm subconsciously avoiding confronting the fact that I am. I just believe in staying rational and analyzing your emotions so you don't get too reckless and dive into things without thinking. You'll hurt yourself. I've heard that's it's really easy to hurt yourself when you're in love. You see it's...we...Hunter and I met at a really crazy time, when I was just starting to become the witch I want to be. And then everything got so much crazier and we were confused and scared and it was hard to think about who you wanted to be when you weren't where you wanted to be. So now we're home. And finally, we have the chance to figure ourselves out. And that's exactly what we're gonna do. I want to be with him...eventually. When we're ready. I like him and I want to kiss him but I'm not in love with him. I'm totally not.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Bonesborough

Del: Willow seems like a nice girl.

Hunter: Yeah. I'm in love with her.

I'm putting this up for the time being but I will fix her arms in a bit lol. and her jewelry. make it actually look like gold. but I'm going cross-eyed XD so;

Osyth (O is mostly silent; this name is pronounced uh-SCYTHE) is the goddess of love and strife and she adores her job. She's a bit of a bitch. She's of the opinion the world and everyone in it her personal romance game and she's on the hunt for the perfect tragic romance. Has caused three wars; two interdimensional crises; and at least one new god and a prophesy to go with him. Oh-and at least one supervillain who then went on to take over her reality.

Osyth lost a bet to a vampire who was already old by the time she was born-and is considered positively ancient currently. Damiano (Vester De'Ville stand in) made a bet with her he could as a matchmaker, in a set amount of time, make more healthy relationships that lasted longer than anything she could do with her arrows and magic. He was right, he won, and she didn't like that. However the beginning of the end for her was forcing the traveler stand in to fall in love with (and vice versa) the Si'ha Nova stand in-creating Farwander and a prophesy. Although the spell wore off leaving genuine feelings and Traveler is ultimately to blame for everything after the initial meeting of Si'ha; he still blames Osyth for all his problems. Osyth's downfall came from manipulating Damiano's soulmate into a doomed romance-they're fated to fight each other to the death. She just made sure it couldn't be the love interest nor could it be a metaphorical death. The Chip stand in, however, considers mercy the greatest strength and the last thing Osyth wants from anyone she made to be tragic. And he's right.

A stint as a human and trying to win a scorpion-alien woman is just what she needs. And she isn't going to be happy about it. Si'ha's stand in gets to help with this as well, as well as several others. But she's not necessarily going to learn to be a better person; just more cautious. She does represent strife as well, after all

Telling Ven and Roxas apart headcanons:

- Aqua, Terra, Lea, and Sora almost never mix them up. When they do, it's usually when they're distracted and barely paying attention to which one they're talking to. It's just that easy for them to tell from their personalties, manners, how they speak, and the minor differences in their appearances. However, as everyone gets used to having both Roxas and Ventus around, they start accidentally mixing their names up the way parents do with their kids - they're not really thinking that Ventus IS Roxas, they know this is Ventus, but Roxas is the name that came out of their mouth anyway. This eventually happens a lot and Roxas jokes that they should wear name tags. Ventus says that it wouldn't help.

- Isa and Naminé can mostly tell them apart but sometimes they like. Squint at the boys, unsure. Naminé will just be like 'are you Roxas or Ventus' (Ven: It's Ven :)! Roxas: wow Naminé I'd never mix YOU up with Kairi or Xion god). Isa doesn't like to ask but eventually he will if he can't figure it out.

- Riku can't tell them apart at a glance, but after engaging them in conversation he can figure it out pretty quick. Mainly because Ven is really friendly with him and Roxas not as much.

- Kairi is confused at first but then gets really good at telling.

- Vanitas never mixes them up, but he will tease Roxas about 'stealing' his brother's face and is also rude to him a lot.

- Xion can also always tell them apart. It's kind of uncanny: even if one of them comes up to her and she only gets a glimpse of them, without hearing them speak or them do anything distinctive, she knows exactly who it is. Does she just know them both that well, or is it a weird side effect of her mimickery? No one knows.

- Yen Sid and Mickey insist it's 'obvious' which is which. Though Mickey has definitely called Roxas 'Ven' by accident.

- Donald and Goofy are honestly a little lost.

- Most of the Radiant Garden lot are as well, but Aerith can tell them apart. Leon and Cloud usually avoid names just in case.

- Hayner/Pence/Olette find it very trippy that Ventus looks like Roxas, but they take a couple minutes to learn the differences between them and then never mix them up.

also was thinking about the twin AU again and just. how funny it would be if the only one who realized what was going on was Coran, but he just kept it to himself. Clearly it's none of his business if Keith is actually two people pretending to be one person.

[blueorchid-95]

can we talk about superheroes who view their secret identity as separate from their real identity. the person under the mask is irrevocably different from the civilian, and yet they know exactly who they are. i think they’re a little silly, actually,

[this-world-of-beautiful-monsters]

secret good version of Mayfair Witches that lives in my head where Carlotta and Deirdre are ghosts haunting the First Street house forcing everyone to confront them and the ugly truths they represent over and over and over again >>>>>>

Alright I see a couple people are curious, and I've kept you in suspense long enough, so here's my new fictional crush (literally nobody will be surprised):

I'm sure some of you who know nothing about DBZ are probably thinking, "Isn't that just Goku/Evil Goku?" And the answer is no, he's an entirely different character, who's written to be the exact opposite of Goku. He exists (mainly) in a singular movie that's not even canon (he cameos in a couple of other non-canon things as well I believe).

Whatever bit of lore they gave him has put me in such a vice grip of potential that I can't help but feel some butterflies for this stinky bastard. I wanna put him in my mouth and shake him around, like a pitbull with a chew toy. I wanna spray him with lysol. He's so yucky.

I think all Sims or visual novels (not just dating ones) should have like. Four dialoage options. Each with a unique personality and tone.

Like, one could be more sarcastic and dry, one happy go lucky "look on the bright side ™!", or just emotional in general, one purely logical, and one who just tries to make jokes or playfully flirt.

Player can choose any of these options at any time, they don't just have to stick to one. This could be tweeked whichever way would work the best, but yeah. My opinion.

Thank you very much for answering!!!

In some interactive fictions I've played personality works like a stat, so if you're character is shy but acts more outgoing around an RO they'll comment on it, which I like, but just letting people choose at will would certainly be easier... lots to think on (╭ರ_•́)

This more or less what I've been working with as a general guide for myself???

I split how MC talks generally vs how they are with the specifically romantic choices. My handwriting is a bit messy here, but I know I want how the player interacts with the romance to be something I keep track of even if I let you bounce around between being pessimistic or optimistic. That way if you are playing someone who is repressing their feelings you get to choose who cracks first, you or your RO.

i absolutely cannot let myself get started on another fic until im at least onto chapter 5 of caecilian but the temptation to write something of aaravi taking miranda monster hunting and describing the entire EVERYTHING there is real

People at Wihuwte either ship him with Kemakka, simping at him (I mean... I do too ngl dude's a snacc XD), or already predicting him being a bad guy (I... somehow though he's a double agent at worst), meanwhile I am in awe with how similar he looks with Avenel (the Timid Trader/Bandit from DT Phys. Ranged Role Quest).

Like...

(Stole that Wihuwte screenshot from @demilypyro cuz I didn't take any MSQ screenshot of him rip OTL)

It got to the point where I actually made them twin brothers separated by circumstance (Avenel's Turali birth name being Awetihwe) in Cole's storyline.

The story is that, when they were kids (around 8-10 at most), they tried to escape their increasingly unhinged outlaw Da not long after their Ma died from unnamed illness. Only Avenel made it across the salt while Wihuwte unfortunately got caught by the Da's underlings.

Avenel got found by an Ul'dahn merchant and grew up under their tutorage, though since he refused to talk about himself - not even his name - as a sort of defense mechanism in fear of being found by mercenaries sent by his Da, he's christened with his current name by said merchant and he himself claimed to strangers that he's born and raised in Ul'dah from then on. When his parent figure died, he took over their business but either not as savvy as them as a merchant or oversaturation in market that he had a hard time keeping up (leaning towards the latter atm) to the point of struggling financially, leading to him being taken by Chalteaufite's lies and participating in the Elezen's criminal activities in order to make ends meet.

Wihuwte meanwhile had to grow up under the Da and his gang's suffocatingly watchful eyes until he managed to sneak out from the Da's grasp many years later and went to where Hhusatahwi is now to sign up as a Duskwatch (or proto-Duskwatch, I forgot how long had Duskwatch exist) so that he could stifle down criminals like his Da was. Though with how stretched thin the Duskwatch were despite their best efforts, he got disillusioned and Zekowa's gang forming sort of made him snap to the point where he took control over the Daybreaker with the intention of starting a gang war against both his Da (for the mistreatment he done) and the Duskwatch (for, in his eyes, not doing enough), only resorting to stealing and selling stuff in the Black Market due to needing the funds and equipment first before doing so.

I know Patch quests could throw a wrench on their entire background story but like... Idk I just went crazy for these 2. I can understand Avenel being confined within Role Quests stuff but by God do I find Wihuwte utterly underutilized. Maybe cuz I have high expectation coming into the Shaaloani part after watching so many RDR2 clips and playthrough, but I feel like there's more to him than meets the eyes (Zekowa and Kemakka probably too but I felt this strongly on Wihuwte).

Bonus: Have the twins' family photo when they were kids and after both got released from jail (and Avenel finally has the courage to sail back home) :D
