In praise of good martial forms
One thing I alluded to earlier is that Suo has really, really good martial forms. As someone who dabbled with martial arts at various stages of my life, these details jump out. Of course, any martial artist worth their salt must have good forms, unconventional style or not (as Suo described the forms he learned as a "jumble of mixed martial arts"). Wind Breaker is one of the best choreographed manga I have seen, so these details are very much worth analyzing :P
Table of contents:
Martial arts start with good forms
Suo v. Oobiki: Is Discipline Rigidity or Fluidity?
Foundational Grounded-ness: Defense as Offense
Circularity; Yin and Yang
Suo on the Offensive: no_fist.megamind?
I will first go over the basics — how the choreography demonstrates Suo's solid skills, which segue into Suo v. Oobiki's debate about "discipline" (spoiler: Suo wins because he has better forms, i.e. better discipline), then moving on to make more observations about his styles— particularly the circularity and how the narrative is restraining Suo from using his fist to attack.
Martial arts start with good forms
As an introduction, I will note that Suo always sits and stands very properly, with his back straight and his posture supported by his hands behind his back.
Notice also that while Sakura casually leans back against his chair, slumping backward, and Nirei "cowers" -- leaning forward -- Suo sits straight-backed like the epitome of a polite young man :3c
This is another fun contrast between Suo and most other delinquents in the story— in an environment emphasizing rebellion, freedom, and a bit of teenage arrogance mixed in, sparking all sorts of wild and flamboyant self-expressions (dyed hair, undercut, piercings, etc.), Suo alone stands with a very traditional, conservative, and almost a prudent sensibility, in both his clothings and behaviors. Had he not don his Furin jacket, would anyone believe that this gentleman is a delinquent?
That is to say, Suo's trainings are baked into his bones, to the way he holds and moves himself, most likely to even his speech. Good forms from the beginning to end. Suo likely has practiced martial arts for a good while.
The thing that makes me notice how good his form is is from his fist placement in the Kanuma fight:
First, note that Suo's right fist is in the ready position by his hip, ready to hit. It's small, but surprisingly easy to forget when you are starting out. It's somewhat about being ready to punch at anytime (even though we never see Suo actually punching anyone), but more about the discipline of always being ready for your next move.
Similarly, the fist is there during the Oobiki fight. Note that Suo was able to surprise Oobiki and get a hit in because the ready-to-go fist exists as a camouflage, distracting the opponent from his other arm (out of frame— out of Oobiki's visual field). Having the fist there is an excellent basic form, and it allows Suo multiple options of attack.
Let's transition to legwork. One of the most important thing in martial arts is stances. Generally, the deeper your stance is, the lower your center of gravity, hence the more stability you have. This is, of course, at the cost of mobility, which is achievable with narrower, higher stances. An exercise at the advanced (masters') level of karate is to stand in kiba-dachi, the basic horse stance (first thing you'll ever learn) continuously for an hour or more. That's how strong your legs have to be. And practice staying in proper stances is how you hone it. Having a strong, solid stance is essential for balance and power,
Notice the solid, deep (low) stance— and how much power is behind it as Suo very gently seize Kanuma's fist and flips him. We can see the difference in speed (and thus input power) by the blur in both frames.
Again and again, Suo does a lot of "flipping people over" like this (I'm sure there is a proper term for it, in what I assume is Aikido, but that's a martial discipline I haven't flirted with lol). I will labor the point of Suo's moves being primarily circular later, but just to demonstrate the power behind his seemingly-effortless moves:
Note the stance— and the engaged legs muscles

Same here— the deep stance provides a tremendous amount of power required to fling a grown man and knock out two more people. Note again the difference in speed/input momentum (top right panel).
Doing mixed martial arts doesn't means that every move is a hodge-podge of everything. Suo's starting stance is a very basic/common starting form in kungfu:
As a side note, visually this starting form is very representative of Suo as a character/fighter :P He doesn't start (seemingly) looking for a fight; his stance is neutral, relaxed; one hand is inviting the opponent into his space. However, when we look closer, his feet are position such that he is ready to lunge forward (front-facing leg) and a fist is hidden behind his back, also ready to pounce.
It is a basic stance because it is good, and great when done right. If there is one (1) single thing you get from all the ramblings I do, let it be that Suo has very good basics. From his resting stance, fist placement, low stances, to kick— everything is solid.
This brings us to the "debate" between Suo and Oobiki about what "discipline" means.
Discipline: Rigidity or Fluidity?
Suo v. Oobiki is, ultimately, a fight about their philosophy regarding "discipline". (In this manner, we can say that Suo participated in at least one conversation, lol. But more on this later in Crisis of Contact or The Failure of Language (coming soon. at some point.) perhaps.) Firstly, Oobiki brought up discipline with the context of punishment for bad behaviors:
Which suggests that a (rigid) social code was violated here— which is that Suo, the underclassmen, had insulted his superior (in age and school-year). Discipline, here, is a violent mean to "bend" someone back to the appropriate behavior; or, perhaps, discipline means the rigid code of appropriate behaviors itself. Regardless, we get the sense here that "discipline" is rigid, meant to be followed to the letter, and even somewhat hierarchical: the elder enforces discipline onto the younger, not the other way around.
Ironically, this rigidity and hierarchy of discipline is what Oobiki forsook in the first place when he gave up competitive gymnastics:
Rigid routine, rigid rules;
The hierarchy of ranking and rigid scoring system;
And yet, old habits die hard. The brutality of competition and gymnastics is engrained into Oobiki's conception of discipline, and what it means to be, yourself, disciplined, or to discipline somebody else: beating the same stringent routines and rules until submission.
Afterwards, Suo relays a very different view — another definition altogether — of the word:
(Yeehaw! The first visual of Suo's master--- the same narrative role as Akari, yet so much further away...)
Discipline here is not a rigid code of rules or behavior, but rather the transmission of knowledge. This may be due to localization (can somebody please supply me with the Japanese version), but notice that Oobiki uses "discipline" as a noun, while Suo uses it as a verb. One is a thing that you have; the other is an action you impart upon someone else. Already, we see the rigidity of an object without care for whom it affects, versus an action that involves two people at the minimum (the teacher and the student) and widens the possibility of what could be taught. Martial arts is a discipline; so is calligraphy, for example, or tea ceremony, or life philosophy, or math, or science, or literature, etc.
Discipline, to Suo (relayed to him by his Master, by the quote) is a living, mobile thing, means to share knowledge without forcing it upon somebody. You can try to train or teach someone; it doesn't mean they will learn it that exact way, or they may modify your teachings to their needs. Suo is already innovating upon the discipline passed down to him by teaching Nirei to protect himself and fight back at once
It's a living thing in the same sense that humanity is a living thing, as culture and knowledge get passed down and modified generations by generations. It's quite generative, to employ a pun here. It's more philosophical and metaphysical than the concrete, object-like "discipline" that Oobiki wants to impart, or force upon, others.
How do these two views of "discipline" duke it out? By fighting, of course! And, I will argue that Suo wins because he has the better discipline, narratively speaking. Of course, it's nearly impossible for two definitions of the word to duke it out— this is why we have stories and narratives :D The key observation I want to make is that Suo has the more solid and proper forms.
I noted earlier that Suo was able to get a hit into Oobiki with his elbow because of his good ready stance with the fist. The more demonstrative example, I think, is in this sequence here, which immediately follows the aforementioned example:
Oobiki begins with a gymnastic-inspired cartwheel, using one leg to attack and hook Suo's arm down. Note that the force is concentrated on Suo's wrist. With his momentum, Oobiki's arms push upward to complete the cartwheel, and, theoretically, slam Suo's body down by his wrist (a very tiny fraction of Suo's body mass— which is proportional momentum). That's cool and all, but I think Oobiki makes a grave mistake next…

... of attacking with his other leg instead of landing. He expects Suo's whole body to go down with his wrist (which, again, very small fraction of body mass— Suo is a lot stronger physically than Oobiki expected). If that is the case, then Oobiki gets the point. However, I think, giving yourself zero point of contact on the ground — your form and stance not being grounded at all — is a risky gamble. You risk standing on nothing and having no foundation beneath to push you on. While you are falling mid-air, your opponent easily get a grasp on you, and, supplying some (seemingly) minimal amount of force, turns gravity against you. Again, no foundation, nothing solid to land on.
This is, also, the last significant movement in their choreography before the winner is decided. This ending is signified by Oobiki saying, "I can't read you at all..." before the narrative naturally descend to the conclusion of their fight with Suo as the winner. Oobiki's "encore" is merely the last desperate swipe in a conversation already closed.
Foundational Grounded-ness; Defense as Offense
Another observation: throughout the Oobiki fight, most of Suo's stances are low, deep stances, which emphasizes stability and grounded-ness. We see these in the previous examples— in the one immediately above, Suo's stance is so "deep" that he is kneeling on the ground: very stable (which also necessitates no small amount of core strength, mind you) in contrast to Oobiki's ungrounded-ness.
Here, Suo starts from a neutral, high stance, then steps out and down to move his opponent down along with his own center of gravity
Next, a very impressive (holy crap I can't properly express how fucking insane of a move that is) swing: from a low (kicking) stance, which provides the normal force necessary to push, and over
To a solid, whole foot (HEEL FIRST! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT-- note the angle where the heel is closer to the ground) and a forceful slam down.
While Suo adeptly utilizes high, middle, and low stances, I want to point out that in this fight, all of his move begins from a low stance. Narratively, Suo is focusing on stability, grounded-ness (purpose-wise, Furin's job is to hold their ground, too), and defense — which is his specialty. Suo rarely initialize attacks as offense; here, he relies on the same grounded-ness of his defensive practice as offense. You have heard "the best defense is offense" before, now, welcome to "the best offense is defense" :P.
Combing through the manga, I am struck with how solid Suo's stances are, which I'm sure I have more than adequately emphasized by now. He is agile, mobile, and responsive, yes, but he agilely steps into a sturdy defensive stance in every fight, as demonstrated above in the Kiryuu introductory fight as well as in Roppo Ichiza.

I think this does say something about Suo as a character; just as Sakura's agility, adaptability, creativity, and ferocity says about his, or Tsugeura's high-spirited, principled (even if seemingly odd) virtues being supported by his muscular sturdiness— emphasize the simplicity of pure force, or, Sugishita's long-armed, forceful, but single-trajectory attacks says about his single-minded determination. It doesn't have to be anything too deep lest we step too close into Backstory Speculations territory (though I would not blame us for that, seeing that that is the #1 mystery right now, lol). But, to me, there seems to be an interesting contrast between Suo's image as a lighthearted, blithe, socially-adaptable child and his principled and grounded stances, which are primarily employed to protect or defend someone else.
(Suo's return to the group post-Oobiki is blithe and lightfooted. At this moment, his return is more to a social effect, reconnecting with the rest of the class before the fight resume. Note that, in contrast to his earlier heel-first landing, toe-first landing is used for very light landing— a spirit of windless calm, as I love to say these days. His first impact is this lightness — relieving Nirei from his post, signifying a victory, like a balm upon the toiling soldiers.)
There is, still, a hidden sternness and practicality underneath such a light and humorous character. We caught glimpses of it: Suo who, on the first day of class, "fact-and-logic"'ed Sakura and Sugishita into resolving their conflicts:
Suo who represents the foundational philosophy of fighting as a group to Sakura:
Suo is also teaching Nirei the foundation of fighting, etc. etc.
These roles fit perfectly into his motif as a "teacher" in the narrative, conveniently also as the narrative mouthpiece: I discussed in another analysis Suo's role as the one delivering "conclusive remarks" — the final deliverer of message to Sakura's journey. Just like his conception of discipline as "passing down teachings" — passing down something fundamental, grounding, upon which new innovations can be made — Suo provides the elementary, foundational "bricks" to the story, upon which Nirei, Sakura, the audience, and whomever else he will teach next, can build up their unique substances. It all starts with a good basics— that’s the thing that struck me with Suo’s fighting styles: it’s graceful and simple, based on strong and solid foundational skills.
Circularity; Yin and Yang
By now, it's clear that Suo's fighting motif is primarily circular: he twists and flips his opponents both parallel to and perpendicular to the plane of his body

@darkersolstice and I briefly discussed this point earlier, here, where they insightfully compare Suo to the eye of a hurricane. Inspired by this, I remarked that the philosophical basis of Suo's style is something to the effect of "A steadfast heart amidst the ever-turbulent circumstances" (In Vietnamese, "Tâm bất biến giữa dòng đời vạn biến"). As the calm in the eye of the storm — the central, unmoving axis of rotation — Suo controls himself and the vortex of life such that they all pass by him. He sees and acknowledges the turbulence; but he remains unperturbed and untouched by them.
There is a nuance between what I argue here versus what I argued by Suo's evasiveness, in that it is not the fighting style that is the evasive one, but Suo is. The evasiveness — the "letting life flows by" physical philosophy — is just one of the many possible motivator for his evasion. The bulk of Suo's dodging, I think now, is social rather than physical; the physical aspect just further enforces the motif. (Or, I may argue, the physical aspect may hints towards a deeper motivation for the habitual deflection, without it being the main culprit of the evading act.)
Coming back to the circularity itself; the perfect circle has been symbolically important, throughout many culture, as a symbol of perfection and completeness. The Aristotelian view of the universe was that of a series of enclosing sphere, because circles — and spheres — are perfect. In Chinese philosophy, the same ideal is reflected in yin and yang
There is light in darkness, darkness in light, as circular force and motion rotate in the universe. This is the total encapsulation of everything. Suo's circular form, where he controls the sum total of his force and the opponent's momentum to his advantage, symbolize this philosophical totality. By Suo's association with a heavily Chinese motif, this could be the intended basis of his form.
Suo on the Offensive? no_fist.megamind?
Another thing that is apparent is that Suo has yet to (actually) attack with his fist; both time, against Kanuma or KEEL, he was thwarted from doing so:
Both time, Suo going for the punch was considered an excessive use of force— explicitly so in the KEEL's case, where it was considered the wrong and overly-aggressive choice. There, it also marked a break from his serene and mature characterization.
Suo does attack— but it is always with his legs, palms, or elbow (in the Oobiki fight).

Never the fist. Why?
I, to be honest, still have to ponder more what this means in relation to the rest of his defensive, circular (yin-yang), and deflective (utilizing the opponent's momentum) fighting style. An oath of non-violence, perhaps?— an oath to respond to your environment, to defend as the need arise, to seek not violence but repel it? These are compelling statements. Why kicks and push, but not fist? Perhaps there is an "excuse" of repelling and deflecting in kicking away, pushing away that does not exist in punch in, punch at, punch through. With its various prepositions, punching is rarely away, but always offensive, violating, stepping inside in a sense. Suo's discipline seems to be that of pacifism or at least, minimal violence. Violence cannot touch him, and he cannot exude violence with the discipline he was taught— handed down to? constrained in?
There are still so many interesting thoughts to extrapolate on, so many narrative trajectories wide open for Suo (and his backstory) to take— but that shall be the story for another day.

kofi - [ payment here / paypal ! ]🌻 (though requests are made and discussed through my tumblr dms <3)
prices:
10$ for every thousand words!
(1k = 10$, 5k = 50$, 10k = 100$, and so on!)
payment upfront / half upfront and half after — no refunds! (just to avoid customers who might refuse to pay bc they didn’t like the final piece TT;;;)
the minimum amount of words you can request is 1k, but i have no maximum limit! just keep in mind that longer requests will, of course, take more time TvT🫶 — i’ll aim to finish your comm as soon as possible, of course. but i am a mentally ill student.
(i won’t charge extra if i go beyond your wc! please don’t lead with the expectation that this will occur however.)
what i will / won’t write:
fandoms:
i’m willing to write for any fandom i am even loosely a part of lol; jjk (<- main fandom / most familiar with writing), csm, hsr, bllk, wbk, fate, hq, and so on! if there’s another series you’d like me to write for feel free to ask (maybe i’ve seen it before :3c).
any and all characters are welcome, i have no hard nos there. i lied actually i won’t write for principal yaga ^_^ anyone else is welcome!
… if you’re interested in my personal favs, however!!!… they are as follows :3c
jjk: SUGURU GETO 💞💞💞. satoru gojo. shoko ieiri. kenjaku. megumi fushiguro. hsr: kafka. madam herta. jing yuan. boothill. bllk: reo mikage. alexis ness. wbk: endo yamato. togame jo. umemiya hajime. fate: artoria pendragon. merlin. kirei kotomine. hq: kuroo tetsurou. yuu nishinoya.
canonxcanon:
i’m comfortable writing for most ships (wlw, mlm, poly, het, etc); my only real boundary is darkships! (ie incest, underage/adult). there are someee cases where i’d be willing to write for them, but generally only specific ships in specific aus.
generally speaking though, most darkships are a strict boundary— i’m just not comfortable writing for them 🙂↕️ though feel free to confirm with me if you aren’t sure where your ship falls!
reader-inserts:
gn!reader, fem!reader and male!reader are all welcome! (as well as trans readers, genderfluid readers, etc <3) anything goes! personality wise as well. the only reader i won’t write is one that’s an entirely blank slate, since it’s … impossible LOL.
genres and tropes:
anything you’d like! i have no hard nos here, just throw an idea at me and we can discuss how you’d like me to portray it 🫶 it can be fluffy, angsty, something in between— or something entirely different. same goes for any kind of trope or au!
smut:
i doooo take smutty requests, but only under fairly strict limits — hard nos include rough sex, degradation, oral (m!receiving) and most hard / taboo kinks. basically, i am a connoisseur of vanilla sex, sex so reverent it’s intense, and sleepy needy morning sex ^.^ daddy/mommy kink is welcome too. if that’s what you’re looking for i have no issues writing it (or just incorporating it into your request!)
dark content:
dark content follows the same line of thought; hard nos would be typical hard dark content, such as noncon and incest — (pseudocest / parental undertones to romantic relationships i am fine with however….) i am open to writing for yanderes, but they’d have to be tailored to suit my own boundaries ^^”. here is an example of the kind of yandere i am comfortable writing for! (tldr; one that doesn’t harm the reader/character physically.)
of course, we can always just discuss what you’d like to see, and reach some kind of compromise between what you want and what i am comfortable with. don’t be afraid to ask!
what to include in your request:
your request can be as specific or vague as you want! either full of details, or just a bare-bones concept for me to expand on <3
please keep in mind that since vague requests give me more to work with and decide on by myself, it might not end up being what you had envisioned while requesting — i will of course check in with you and make sure you approve of the general direction (i value communication and will almost definitely be bothering you during the planning process and writing process!!) but just keep it in mind ! ^^”
on the other hand — pleaseee make sure that your request matches, at least loosely with the wc you’ve set. if your concept is very detailed, and plot-heavy, i will need more words to properly explore it. so please don’t request a very short piece with a meaty concept TvT i won’t be able to do it justice that way…!
i like giving my reader inserts at least a vague personality, so please include in your request what kind of reader you want me to pair your chosen character with! (assuming your request is for a canonxreader pairing.) are they on the shy side, or more outgoing? silly or hissy or sad? it doesn’t have to be more than a single personality trait, just give me something to work with 🥹 you can also just leave the choice up to me, but i’ll probably be a little self-indulgent…. (<- guy who likes bratty and soggy readers …)
tldr:
give me a concept (could be a scenario, or just a genre or a trope — with as many or as few details as you want), a word count and a reader-insert personality (if you request an xreader fic!). before you request, please do read through some of my (recent) works to make sure you are aware of what my usual prose, writing style and characterization look like 🫶🫶🫶
(mlist here.)
important: i am allowed to decline your request / ask you to make revisions to your request if i feel i cannot do it justice, am not comfortable writing it, or feel unaligned with the characterization!
in addition to all of this: please do tell me if you’d like me to post the commission on my blog / ao3, or just send it to you privately!
thank you for reading this & considering commissioning me i love you MWAH <333333
#ari comm time everyone be nice this is my first time selling myself T_T;;;#boosts are super duper appreciated — tysm for reading !! <33

First time sending an ask on your blog, I’ve been following for awhile and always loved seeing your headcanons and other stuff and you seem like a genuinely cool person mate.
So don’t feel obligated to answer this cuz it’s just for fun but, got any cool Mephone4 headcanons? (Floorphone would be cool, but not needed!)
Thanks!! Your pretty awesome sauce :3
Hi Luke!!^^ Welcome, and thank you for sending in an ask!! :]
Thank you thank you!!! <3 That is very kind of you to say!!!^^ :3c You're pretty awesome sauce yourself!
Regarding Bookcasey- made before Mephone grasped the concept of mortality, how his actions could affect others, the real-ness of not only the contestants but just everything in general. I tend to think that Mephone still thinks about him sometimes. Passingly with not much care at first, but with a lot more guilt after he realises he'd made all the contestants. Did he doom someone to falling down a hole until they died of starvation? Could he not starve because he was made by Mephone, and is still falling to this day? Just another sprinkle on the mephone's-guilt-complex-cookie.
Mephone and the Floor both enjoy a tasty treat so much, that they decide to try baking together! :) It goes terribly. Floory can't really reach anything so he ends up just reading the instructions to Mephone (who would read them wrong anyway, so this is quite helpful), Mephone mixes up regular and imperial measurements and doesn't know there is a very important difference between a tablespoon and teaspoon, seven eggs are cracked before one actually gets in there, and they've both tasted so much batter that they have enough to make one (1) single cookie once they're ready to bake. The cookie ends up tasting awful, too.
The two of them cuddling (re: mephone laying on the ground and the floor popping his face next to him) is all sweet and snuggly until Floory starts snoring. Hard. And Loud. Meaning he's opening his mouth pretty wide, yeah? We've seen how big he and his mouth can get. Mephone nearly falls in, it's quite a rude awakening.
Floory is the one comforting Mephone4 the most after Mepad's death. 4 can't really bring himself to talk to Toilet, much less the rest of the cast, and 3GS has been in a closet for a decade+, he is not well-equipped even if he is well meaning. But Floory's a sweet guy, and even if he doesn't always say or do the right thing, the effort is always there, yeah? He'd probably talk about how he liked working as Mephone's assistant, to at least try and convince Mephone that Mepad had enjoyed most of the time they'd spent together, at least before everything fell apart.

Okay! So, is there an RPG that's more rural, like farms and fields, windmills and carts, swamps and forests, but also still like big monsters and magic? Vibes wise, something akin to Amphibia the show, or Atomicrops the game. I'm sure one could just repurpose any regular RPG to make a world like that, but I'm curious :3c
THEME: Farming Plus
Hello friend, so I have a few games here that feel at least slightly fantastical, as well as a game that definitely works as a post-apocalyptic kind of game, although I don’t think any of the games listed here have the cartoonish-ness of either Apmhibia or Atomicrops. My main goal was to find games that felt like they communicated a slice-of-life style of game, while making room for a setting that feels outside of our normal experience. I hope you still find something that works for you!
Take Root, by katykoop.
You've achieved the dream! You have a farm, in a cool place full of forests and the mysterious dungeon keep, and there is the promise of glory-- with a festival at the very end of the year. Play against several farmers, with a world master controlling it all, to win by having the most points in your farm display.
Each season is condensed into 9 days, with harvest on the 4th and the 8th. Unlock cool items through random events with NPC's, buy livestock, and traverse the dungeons of Dungeon Keep.
This is take root.
Take Root is a very procedural game, with each player responsible for their own farm, which they are tasked with caring for until harvest and the bringing of your fruits to market. The phases of the game are (predictably) sorted into 4 seasons with 9 days in each season, with two market days per quarter of the year. Different seasons have different basic crops, and certain items are more valuable than others.
However, you’re not just farming in Take Root - you’re also venturing into dungeons, and trying to romance select NPC’s. Diving into the Dungeon Keep is dangerous, but could have you coming away with rare items that give you money for seeds or items that allow you to fulfill mini quests - such as wooing the love of your choice, for example. The end of the game results in a winner - the player with the highest accumulated points, acquired through selling items, adventuring, and romancing NPCs.
All in all, Take Root is streamlined and simple, and yet manages to combine both dungeon delving and farming into one neat little brochure.

The goal of this game is to build up your farm by managing resources, while dealing with threats both mundane and fantastic. Using cards for the encounters and dice to determine the outcome of actions taken, the player will gain resources and try to figure out how best to use them to continue building their farm. This game is meant to be played with one player and a GM. Farmtasy Simulator can be used as a supplemental mini-game for an on-going fantasy campaign, or as a standalone to enjoy some agricultural fantasy hijinks.
This is meant to be a two-player game, with one player and one GM. The character has dice and five stats with varying modifiers, while the GM has a deck of cards that they will pull from over the course of each year, used to generate encounters that will make the farming difficult. Farmtasy Simulator appears to be primarily designed as an add-on to another game, incorporating farming mechanics into a larger story. I think it might be a neat way to watch time pass for one character who’s trying to settle down and start a farm - perhaps each player takes their turn running through the simulator with the GM, or the GM use this as a mini-session with the only other player available to build their backstory before they went adventuring.
What’s So Hard About Farming?, by K.Petker.
This is a game about working on a farm and dealing with the triumphs and hardships of such a life. It might not be any kind of farm or farmers you’re familiar with, but the connection to the growing green and the earth is still there. Regardless of the season, there’s work to be done. And things might get a little weird.
I don’t own this game, but my experience with What’s So Cool About…..? games is one of light rules and plenty of freedom to let you take those rules where you like. What I expect from this game is just enough rules to give you a reason to roll dice, and the rest of the world is up to you.
On the plus side, this means that if you want to farm in a swamp, or in a post-apocalypse… well, you can do that! On the downside, the experience won’t fundamentally change according to to the setting unless you decide to do a bit of game design yourself, which is a delightful challenge for some, and an unnecessary amount of labour for others, so take from that what you will!
Mectors, by Harper Jay.
After the war, thousands upon thousands of bipedal mechanized fighting vehicles (or “Bimechs”) were left scattered across the land. Many were brought back to the capital cities to be repaired or scrapped, but the majority of them were too damaged to be easily transported. With the war won, the victors simply left their mechanical refuse in the battlefields to rust and wither.
In Mectors, players take on the role of a farmer, miner, fisher, carpenter, or some other worker in a labor intensive field. Mector Owners come from all kinds of backgrounds. Some own a Mector that’s been in their family for generations. Others came across theirs recently, through purchase or luck. And a rare few have managed to piece their own together using scraps from decommissioned Mectors, but this is even harder than it sounds. No matter how they got it, they now have a powerful tool with a long history.
I’ve recommended Mectors before for a similar request, and I think it definitely holds up as a great option for a fresh take on the slice-of-life farming sim - because it involves mechs! The setting is post-war, in a country that has learned to beat their technological swords into highly efficient plowshares - and the troubles that plague your settlements are less sinister and just the problems of a small community, such as the mushroom fungus spirit who is willing to guide lost travellers out of the cave, but also can’t seem to stop herself from feeding them mushrooms that also leech away their memories. If you want to tell stories about people solving everyday problems, set in an agricultural setting that’s wholly divorced from our own, I recommend Mectors.
Weeds in the Waste, by Megan Cross.
Weeds in the Waste is a solo storytelling game about tending a garden in a post apocalyptic wasteland.
Determine the state of your wasteland, create your gardener, plant your seeds, and tend your garden as you play through the seasons in the wastes. It is a narrative, storytelling game played using 2d6s and a 6x6 grid, as well as a series of prompts.
As primarily a solo game, much of the tone and pace of Weeds in the Waste is set by you, the singular player. This includes describing how the world ended, and how your garden started, as well as what kind of gardener you are. The game moves through different phases for every season, indicating what parts of your hard work pay off, and what parts are unfruitful.
The end game (and reflection phases) revolve around what withers, and where - which I think is truly reflective of the post-apocalyptic themes in this game. Try as you might, the current conditions of the wasteland can only be so fruitful, and you will have to learn how to live with a drastically reduced yield in comparison to the work that you’ve put in.
There are also rules for multiple players of Weeds in the Waste, so you can also make this a collaborative effort, answering the questions together, and strategically planting your crops as best as you can.
I’d Also Recommend….

notes under the cut (warning; list of links/genders that include names that are NOT screenreader friendly)
sorry if this isn't super accurate, i didn't watch much of ghostbur's arc :P i tried to base it a lot around his ghost-ness because from what i remember the reason he was so different from alivebur/revivebur was that he was a ghost and therefore felt more free and detatched than either of them did?
if you'd like any of this to be changed, feel free to send another ask with what you'd like changed and possibly some additional information about the most important parts of ghostbur's arc to help me do better :3
i also had to get this pack's oxigender (the first one) coined, because i couldn't find it anywhere; here's a list of other oxigenders i found, that were similar to what i was looking for, but not what i wanted (very screenreader-unfriendly list in 3, 2, 1)

12, 20, 25 for NULL? :3c
hi there. questions here if anyone else wants to take a spin
12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?
to be honest i avoid having any headcanons for him at all, almost everything is as close to his canonical behaviour as i can get it.. however he does not actually have all those scars, those are just a physical representation of his general self destructive behaviour. i could go into more detail about this if i haven't here before but it would need a dedicated post for appropriate content warnings so for now i'll move on
then there's another thing i do that i guess looks like a headcanon. i think the rest of his skin is under those clothes. a lot of people make him totally invisible, and i mean i can't blame them since being invisible is pretty freakin' cool. but if you look at n.png it doesn't have All the skin, so, i mean, where's it gone? must be under the clothes, right? usually this only comes through when i put him in dresses so i should do that. more.
another interpretation of this that would also make sense is that it doesn't show up on ull.png but rather gets transferred over to n.png whenever he moves his clothes around. which would make more sense with how the cut-out is edited, but if i want to see how that'd look i'd have to draw it myself
i can understand why no one really thinks of it though. i don't think it's common for people to spend this much time thinking about skin
20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?
to be honest i think it's sweep. my dark secret is that i don't really ship filesweep, i just think gotta sweep would be the best friend for him to have.
principal is in a position of authority over him and punishes him, green cunt is in a position of authority over him and punishes him. plus characters would freak him out. blue one is a good choice but they disagree on politics (to put it in a funny way). and then everyone else is a child. this leaves gotta sweep who actually is pretty good
it's a very consistent person who doesn't change a whole lot over long periods of time, and can keep itself grounded easily. it isn't bothered by loud volume, it probably can't feel pain, it doesn't have any reason to judge anyone. in its poster there's this feeling of outside-ness attributed to it, as it was hired the last day possible. so it's only barely part of the game-prison and that's just because it likes to keep things clean
to someone who is terrified, angry, loud, and paranoid, this is a pretty good rock to have
25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
to my knowledge i didn't like him at all at first. i had a vendetta against secrets. i hated gaster my whole life because i didn't think any of the evidence provided to me made sense. and then when he was considered "filename2" i just didn't see much going on there either and thought it was stupid. but i didn't even know about 99, so i guess that makes sense
over the years my hatred for convoluted secrets developed into a skillset that turns convoluted secrets into sensical series of events. i still hate them. this hatred just drives me to fix them up. and so when i truly returned to the understanding table it was kind of disappointing that a majority of people didn't even try. i guess because they just like "playing" the "game" or whatever. but you don't even know basic cryptography? you haven't spent years piecing together horrible arg stories that don't make sense until you spend 30 hours on just the plain information itself? you were told by your stupid developer himself that there is a secret in revenge of the crazy baby, where it is, and you didn't even look. you didn't even find the hidden image in the kickstarter promotional video...
they're all so stupid. null is 100% justified in getting so angry because they're all. so. stupid. they don't even know what morse actually is, there's no way they could put basic context clues together
so to answer the question i call this my enemies to lovers arc

sodaa !! can i pls hear anything u want to share or say abt ur dgm insert !! im rly all ears !! (@dmclr)
HIIIII CLARA HIII thank you so much honestly... I have so many thoughts cause none of my friends are into d gray man and there for have. no idea what I'm talking about!
this is a long post so have some songs I listened to while writing it <:3
⛈️ ⛅ 🌨️
I was going to make this like a big lore post but I realized there's a bunch of things I wanna figure out first and a bunch of things I'd have to explain and I don't wanna leave this in my ask box for. Months! So instead I'm gonna use this post to talk about my current design process hell. I'm like aware self insert designs don't need to be complicated or directly match the source material but. Mine does actually! No it can't just be me it needs to fit with the LORE
a big problem I've been having recently is colors... I would consider my s/I to be like... part of the main quartet to some extent and all of them have main colors I associate with them.
Allen is generally white or a pale grey but I could understand if someone argued for red because of his scar and arm, but red is more an accent color than a main color for me. when illustrated in a simpler way Hoshino will usually focus on including his pale-ness before his red accents so I consider that more important in his color hierarchy
Lenalee is obviously purple. her hair is canonically black but whenever hoshino stylized her its just. purple. and she also has purple eyes either way. shes purple.
Lavi's in an orangey red or just orange in the a very "He is a ginger." type way. you could also just say his color is ginger and i'd be like. yeah.
and then finally, Kanda's is very much blue, even in canon I think during the Alma arc when he went insane his hair turned blue. even if that wasn't true, like Lenalee his eyes are blue is canon, and when given the chance his hair is also stylized as blue.
that being said when the characters are so clearly color-coded I find it important to also color code my self insert a little which leads to the dilemma of: which color do I give them?
i know my blog's theme might lead one to believe otherwise but my favorite color is red, so of course that was my first choice, but even with red not being Allen's main color. it's still very prominent in his palette and felt like stepping on his toes a little, plus even excluding Allen, Lavi will often stray into red and i don't want to deprive him of that versatility in my art just to differentiate the two color-wise. there is the option to make them into more of a pinkish red so when i push Lavi into more red, they'd become more pink so palette-wise they stand out from each other but I'm iffy on that.
this is also to say it isn't unheard of for characters to share a main color but it's usually with purpose. Like Alma's main color is arguably blue but i think that's purseful seeing as Kanda and Alma's stories are extremely intertwined. it shows that they're connected to each other in a way others aren't, these two characters' bond is unique.


I also like to think that Kanda and Lanelee having similar colors with Kanda occasionally slipping into more indigo than his usual blue shows that they have a unique bond in their own way too but :3c that's more just wishful thinking on my part...
Allen's mentor Cross's main color is red, which very much makes sense to me with Lavi and Allen's dubious claims to red as their central color since all three of these characters have a connected history. I would get into how the histories are connected but then this post would NEVER END so we can't do that. not today at least.
that being said I DID consider my self insert blue as a central color because my character is obviously very connected to Kanda, but I didn't like the idea of them having the exact same shade of blue so I thought of making it maybe a little lighter or a little darker. i also did not like that though because it reminded me too much of one of my moots ships. WHICH IS NO SHADE TO THEM BTW I love his ship a lot and that's partly why I think my brain has decided they have a claim over that specific color combo.
besides even if all of the above wasn't true I think Alma and Kanda's bond is very specific and unique and I feel like sharing their color might... intrude upon that instead of building upon it, if that makes sense? My s/i is still connected to BOTH in a way but, at the beginning of their relationship especially, not in the way they're connected to each other. I don't like the idea of them signifying a sense of unity with Kanda by sharing a central color with him when that's simply not true for them until WAY later. maybe they'd wear each other's colors to show that or something...
At the moment I'm really considering yellow for multiple reasons...
an orangey yellow to be specific! partly because it would still connect them to Kanda and Alma in a weird way of being their opposite of the color wheel but also showing their distance by again, being their opposite. i think it also goes with some design themes I was playing. them being a warm yellow in contrast to Kanda's cool blue... i also liked the idea of their ability to involve a flash of light somehow. especially since i planned to make them light-sensitive and get migraines like meee :). its funny to me.
i believe that is all my thoughts for now!! at least the coherent ones. i might post some design concept later... for nyow, thank you for coming to my ted talk! like genuinely if you read all this thank you!!! i talk a lot.
#🫧.blub blub#🐚. moots#🦐. asks#tag later#debating wether to put this in the main tag or not...#yes im posting this at 7am at a Wednesday. what of it#🗡#📕#👢#🌱#what of allen and alma emojis...#thats what the tag later is for i guess.

“Come on buddy, don’t ya wanna make a lil deal with lil ol’ me?”
I’ve been on a bit of an equivalence high recently as anyone following me may have guessed haha ^-^
For anyone who’s interested I’ve written some of my thoughts on demon!Mabel below the cut :3
First things first let's talk about her style and general appearance, cause I feel like I’ve deviated a fair bit from the previously established fancy suit she’d been portrayed as having like Dipper.
My logic for the change (outside of wanting to try drawing something that isn’t a suit haha) is that I feel she would have more varietyin the outfits she wears compared to Dipper. Looking at the show Dipper was out there wearing the exact same outfit for an entire summer while Mabel (admittedly wearing the same type of clothes) had significantly more variety, wearing a different sweater every episode, some episodes even having more than one, and I feel this would continue to reflect here.
Dipper has his suit and doesn't venture much further then that if he can help it (obviously not to say he doesn't but you know what I mean). Mabel mean while would have a new outfit every day, multiple per day sometimes!
Most of the time I think she would default to a more punk, diy aesthetic because of the inherent creativity of it (which for a typically detail averse artist such as myself was certainly a decision haha), not to mention I can imagine Mabel being like “I’m a literal demon Dipper I gotta go for the outfits with the spikes and chains!”
At the same time she would definitely enjoy trying out a whole host of different styles (to a point though. Some just aren't comfortable, not any more at least, a part of her stolen away with the Transcendence).
I'd need to do some research into clothing styles to say specifically what else she would enjoy, but I can say it's a lot of black with small splashes and highlights of colour. She's also, regardless of style wear lots and lots of jewellery and piercings cause I think she’d like them :3
Switching things up a bit I wanna quickly go over her pins (ie, her queer identities). My hc for demon!Mabel is the same for normal Mabel, being bisexual with a masc preference, and a demigirl (she/her/they/them exploring and trying out various neo pronouns as she encounters them, rotating through them depending on her mood).
Slightly serious tangent, but I know the previously established lore for EAU was that she would be aroace, but in all honesty that never quite sat right with me. Like the only reason she, or subsequently Dipper in the main TAU canon, are aspec is because of the demon-ness, and while I love demons and the demonic as much as the next aroace person, and I adore representation of my identity, the implications aren’t my favourite in the world. Obviously no disrespect to the people behind that decision, (in fact I applaud them on exploring how a character like Mabel might react to people assuming she wants that in this lil fic here :3). Only the maddest of respect to the people who make characters the identities they want them to be :) I just wanted to address it for anyone who like me has read every bit of eau content they can get their grubby lil hands on and noticed that particular difference :p
Besides, this way we get to explore the logistical and moral implications of a character being allosexual while also being an incredibly powerful and immortal being, especially when you get into questions of how she ages herself compared regular humans :3c (I think I'll leave that for another post though haha)
On a different note, another design idea I had was that it'd be really cool if she had a dynamic and moving tattoo that would constantly change and show new (typically pig and star related) designs :) this definitely wasn't inspired by my own inability to come up with and stick to a particular singer design, definitely not.
I also thought it would be neat to differentiate the demonic aspects of her and Alcor's design by giving her feathered wings, rather than the typical bat wings. I mostly just thought it could be nice to try drawing something different, and while Dipper and Mabel are very close and have a fair amount in common they are still very different characters, so it would make sense for their demonic features to differ, even is only slightly. On that note I also gave her a pink outline to her pupils as inspired by this art cause I thought it was neat :3
Anyway I accidentally posted this before I was finished so Imma just take that as a sign to stop and put my other thoughts in a different post haha 😅
#art#my art#equivalence au#ghost chatters#tau#demon!mabel#mizar#I had perhaps too much fun with this pose and colouring haha#if you saw this in the seconds before I realised I has posted this before I was finished#no you didn't

4. mythical creature you think/believe is real?
16. thoughts on mint chocolate chip?
29. preferred pasta noodle?
:3c
Sure! :3
4. Mythical creature I think is real? I’ve answered this question before somewhere at some point but I’ve got 3 main ones:
- Ghosts. I don’t know why, they just make sense to me. Weird stuff just happens all the time; why not ghosts? (Do they count as a cryptid/mythical creature?)
- Mothman. For, uh, reasons~. I’d like to think he exists.
- Loch Ness Monster: I don’t care how many times this one gets debunked, the idea that there might be some sort of plesiosaur-like aquatic reptile still around isn’t far fetched to me at all!
16. Thoughts on mint chocolate chip? I like it! People who say “oh mint tastes like toothpaste! Blah blah blah” are pedantic at best and generally no fun. It tastes so much better when someone’s not telling you not to like it. Mint and chocolate, especially in a cold dish, are an A+ combination (still more of a peanut butter gal when it comes to my desserts but nevertheless)
29. Preferred pasta noodle? They all only love me for my pasta selection…
Kidding! Once more for the folks in the back, it’s long, flat noodles like Fettuccine.

I may not have gone out and dressed up for Halloween (partially because it's getting colder these days), but my kid OCs still can!
First up is Ellie, dressing up as her idol, Goombella! Complete with her own Tattle Log for all her RPG needs! No clear ideas on where her big adventures could start, but whenever adventure calls, she'll be ready!
Kinda hard to find decent refs of her that weren't… y'know. For adults =w=""
Second is Tuno, as one of his favorite heroes, Young Link! He was introduced to the Zelda series with OOT and MM, becoming glued to the latter game while Tuna preferred the former.
Armed with a sword (that hopefully isn't real) and shield, Tuno's ready to defeat all the monsters and save the land! Look out, Majora, there's a new silent protag in this world! And he's all too glad to take you down!
Third is Leon, as Kirby! Specifically Yo-Yo Kirby, because hey, yoyos are Leon's thing already and he likes how versatile Kirby is.
And I guess one of the perks of being a Koopeleon is being able to change your hair and tail color whenever ya want. Lucky bastard; never has to worry about hair dyes or contact lenses for cosplays! I don't even cosplay and I'm jealous!
Fourth is Tuna as Ness! Most of his understanding of Ness comes from Smash Bros, but that kid's baseball bat was all Tuna needed to see in order to declare Ness as his favorite character of all time. Oh, if only he could send people flying with a single swing just like Ness… It'd be so awesome! Totally worth the inevitable scolding from his parents!
Leon was originally going to be Ness (Ness uses a yoyo and wears stripes, Leon does the same, etc.), but lost a game of rock paper scissors XD
Last but certainly not least is Dusty, dressed as the one, the only, The Great Gonzales Jr.! He hopes to one day be as strong as that Yoshi, maybe even take on the Glitz Pit when he's older! Then and only then can he prove to his sister once and for all that wrestling is better than kickboxing! >:3c
Admittedly this costume was not my favorite to color. Or draw in general, since wrestler outfits seem to range from "Just Spots All Over" to "Who The Fuck Designed This And Why The Fuck Would You Wear It." I guess there's some appeal that I'm missing because I'm not into wrestling myself… o3o
#Happy Halloween#Eleanor Truffles#Tuno Beetles#Leonardo Parson#Tuna Beetles#Dusty Corey#would tag the respective franchises for the costumes but... I'm both lazy and don't wanna flood this thing with tags :'D#it's just kids in cosplay at the end of the day =w=#and yes I just yoinked game screenshots for the backgrounds#again. lazy. also I was tired after sketching/lining/coloring these kids :'D#now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go stuff my face with graham crackers#axewchaoscribbles

EXTREMELY LATE but i am here with starbucks (not starbucks actually but just a nice lil drink✨️) and am all cosy and ready to reread this and type out my thoughts bc >:3c TIS SIMPLY DA LYNN WAY IM SAWRYY <3
gilgamesh: I DO REMEMBER !!!!! and i am vv happy u remembered too wahh 🥺 I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE VERY NEAT! and ohhh it would hurt sm on hakuno's end <3 logically she knows that she shouldn't be because this isn't the gilgamesh she knows, but emotionally she just </3 it's tough, yknow!!! it's gonna hurt like a binch for hakuno but i see it as good development for her in the long run! AND ALSO YES PLS.. it'd be interesting to see em maybe have to do smth together- like a mission or just working together? not sure how that dynamic would turn out (BUT I AM OFC VERY EXCITED TO SEE HOW IT GOES... ✨️✨️) but i do know that even regardless of the circumstances hakuno would still look out for and want to help him in her own distant yet caring way,,,
achilles: YES ABSOLUTELYYY i want hakuno to, at first, be somewhat intrigued by achilles's dudebro-ness yknow.. it's super different from hakuno's more reserved kinda demeanor, so i think that's Neat(TM) they are both burying certain things down reaaal deep and i want em to uncover that too!!! it could also force hakuno to confront some of her own unhealthy ways of coping methinks, which would be very nice too >:3c oh and also! hakuno's also a huge History Buff from what we see in fate/extra (which is pretty ironic because she knows sm abt all of these people but nothing of herself </3) so i'm also wondering how achilles would react to somehow who'd know sm abt his story and myth 👁✨️
leonidas: LET'S GOOOOO!!! THE SILLIES.... if he asked her then she'd see no reason to refuse but also- hakuno vc would it even be possible for me to gain muscle..? /just artificial human things yknow ✨️ BUT YES ! hakuno seems like the type that's perfect for just sitting still and looking pretty and she could do just that without complaint as well orz but she's not exactly fond of it! she does like being on her feet and exploring, even if she's not exactly aware of it, so it'd be so nice if leonidas could get her to be more active in general 🥺 ALSO UM HIM MAKING SURE SHE'S NEVER LEFT OUT- WHAT IF I CRY ACTUALLY /POS she'd appreciate it sm but also she has her reasons for being so distant despite wanting to be closer to others and i just 🥹 Man
hei: me, googling hei and seeing his name is 黑 which means black while hakuno has 白 in her name which means white: 👁👄👁✨️ OKOKOK CHARLIE THAT SOUNDS FRIKKIN COOL AND I ALWAYS LOVE EXPLORING IDENTITY THEMES WITH UUU 💖💞 LET'S GO!! i also read your hei verse post and egad- that genshin one!!! hei who can take on many different identities v hakuno who lacks one of her own? hei whose solely focused on getting bai back v hakuno who has no purpose nor family? AND HELLO, THAT BIT ABT HEI WANTING TO ERASE WHO HE WAS AND MAKE THE MASK HIS NEW IDENTITY HAS ME REELINGGG we absolutely need to explore that wat da wat!!!!!!! also Yes to that genshin plot because that sounds So interesting and i'd wanna see where their dynamic could go from that!! and if they have an enemies kinda dynamic in genshin- if u do end up making a fate verse for him, how about an allies kinda dynamic for em there mayhaps ? >:3c
alhaitham: FOUND (FORCED-) FAMILY ?! okay help now i'm giggling kicking my feet losing it over that dhfksjjd BUT I THINK THAT'D BE SO FUNNN on hakuno's end- i can see her going from her usual polite and reserved demeanor to being more relaxed and possibly even playful! she might even get that sorta bratty lil sis energy sorry in advance al-haitham <3 sgjfwhdj i imagine it being annoying in a roundabout way of looking out for him too like- i can see her disturbing his reading time when it's rlly because she thinks he needs to take a break from reading sm and rest his eyes 🙏 lil stuff like that! AND GAWD I'D LOVE TO SEE EM WORK TOGETHER LIKE THAT i feel like al-haitham looks purely at the logic and rational side of things, which hakuno does too but she has a tendency of getting swept up and swayed by others' emotions if that makes sense... so honestly it'd be good for em to work together and get a more balanced and clear view of things!
qiqi: me, knowing hakuno fears forgetting and being forgotten: 👁👄👁✨️BUT YEAH WAIT THAT DESCRIPTION MAKES ME SO SADDD 😭😭😭 and gawsh it would make hakuno sad too i just know it- let em vibe together!!! it'd be so sweet methinks but also bittersweet in a way bc they're both so ??? their circumstances make me rlly sad </3 but it'd be rlly wholesome and meaningful for them to find happiness in their shared moments together 🥹 it's those lil kind of moments yknow! ALSO OH MAN I'D FEEL BAD FOR HU TAO BC WHFKJWJF IF HAKUNO FINDS OUT SHE WANTS TO BURY QIQI SHE'D BE LIKE 😐 hu tao. (Menacing) also i just randomly thought of it but hakuno would also so accompany qiqi in doing her calisthenics and i'm losing it bc IMAGINE SEEING THESE TWO EXERCISING WITH THE MOST 😐 FACES EVER WGFJEJLVEJKF PLSSS
❓️ GASP FATE OR GENSHIN MAYHAPS 😳 ?!
hakuno & gilgamesh. oh man u remember when u said about different summonings and gil being hakuno's servant in ccc? we should explore that. the whole different summonings and giving hakuno a bit of angst of that it is a gil but it's not her gil but its also still him but they have to establish a dynamic again.
hakuno & achilles. i want hakuno to see right through achi and how he's burying some things far deeper than he should be and its not healthy. to have that surface level dynamic of him dudebro-ing his way through life but also catching those hints of his grief and shame beneath. pulling on the threads a little, y'know?
hakuno & leonidas. sometimes we deserve something light-hearted and a little silly, and he wants to get hakuno involved, training and jumping around. bringing hakuno into the community, encouraging her to take part and ensuring she's never left out either.
hakuno & hei. okay but hear me out. this is genshin verse but i could also reskin him a fate verse too. but this is another charlie and lynn explore identity because omg. okay so hei basically has this whole deal that he uses his face and normal appearance as a disguise and he's only really showing his true feelings when he has his mask on (except also there's more to it than that it's more he want to erase who he was and make the mask his new identity) but in g.enshin he's using this to do undercover work for the fatui and i just think it would be neat if hakuno saw right through him. because this cheerful, pleasant server who is occasionally clumsy and has a big appetite is acting the part but his eyes are dead. and she sees that because she would. unearthing this fatui spy completely on accident (making an enemy?) and then dealing with the fallout of that.
hakuno & alhaitham. no because the more I think about the brief discussion we had of this, the more I love the concept. I need the comedy of this researcher driven to sibling antics because of the dynamic they have. I want them to have to face a problem that requires both of their skillsets to solve so he's forced to slow down and listen to her and she can see how he works. him having to learn how to work with her (not that it will stop him being him)
hakuno & qiqi. okay but someone who never had any identity, and someone who lost it all. qiqi can run into hakuno easily enough - help her escape hu tao while she's trying to pick herbs in peace and make a friend of this zombie. help her organise her notebook into a more coherent system and let her offer you medicines and share cocogoat milk with you and share odd thoughts out of nowhere.
SEND ❓ FOR PLOT IDEAS. // @nulltune
#SORRY IF IM REPEATING SOME STUFF EGAD- my memory is Terrible 😨 !#and also these r just some quick thoughts!!! i jst wanted to type em down bc 🥺😭😭🙏💖💞💕 U ALWAYS HAVE DA BEST DYNAMIC IDEAS C.HARLIEEE#I LUV IT SM#resolutepath

musical rambling #3
i've done the two Beauties (as in, brains brawn beauty (and then the guru)) so i think that means... brains next ? aka bentley's turn !
regardless of my status i feel the psa should still apply-- i've got no idea if this makes sense to anyone but me. ''<:]
angle ; emma harner
you know i'm not entirely sure how this became my number one bentley song actually ? i do know it was very early into the process for my reboot and i immediately attached it to jailbreak- and by extension, to bentley :]
as per usual with these, analysis/breakdown under the cut <3 this one's a little less specific/in-depth because a lot of my association for this is based on Vibes and Reboot. but i've managed some things >:3c
now it is important to note that as i said this is very Jailbreak to me and not a lot of anything else and that Will be reflected. sorry but not really lol.
"High above the color of your conversation / I'm asking if your lips could move / The way they do in my imagination / All's well for now, just tell me how we lose"
okay so i mostly have thoughts for the "all's well for now, just tell me how we lose" however those are very much so reboot-based and not canon based sooooo. not a lot for right here. BUT. i cannot find the post for the life of me (hellsite fr) but there's a post somewhere that points out that sly 2 is very much so about losing in general; sly & murray get arrested, the clockwerk parts are reclaimed, clock-la Exists tm, bentley's spine, etc.
in a canon jailbreak context, i suppose "just tell me how we lose" is probably mostly bentley being an anxious little dude. it esp. reminds me of murray being all Spicy tm; "all's well for now" and it's "tell me how we lose" bc he's with sly, but they're still losing bc murray is Losing His Mind.
as for the beginning ..... shrug emote? i'm imagining him saying it to sly, but i'm not entirely sure why.
"I don't wanna be a world / Would you mind if I orbit a bit, I'm"
bentley is so incredibly stressed out all the time, especially during jailbreak when he's flying solo. i'm sure the week vacation they take is just as much for him to relax as it is for murray to shake off the spice-ness because ancient knows he needs it ! he needs a nap and a hug
"Hanging on to what I've heard / When it comes to you, I don't forget"
okay back into the throes of jailbreak here bentley's "hanging on to what [he's] heard" is very much so him running recon on the contessa with his weird ass sound vibration darts. "when it comes to you, i don't forget" is ALSO very him at the contessa but that's also mostly Vibes.
what's he not forgetting? who's to say. possibly himself, if the contessa were to get her weird-ass lobster claws on him. but in general this is just very Running Recon tm.
"Delirious, a fear of us / It's fine, but why so serious?"
this one is BLUE. that's intentional. this is moreso associated w/ jailbreak than with bentley specifically and therefore there's some sly shenanigans in there. "delirious, a fear of us" is almost too easy to apply to sly and murray while murray is literally trying to murder him while they're messing with the agitators.
and, taking canon and running with it, "it's fine, but why so serious?" is absolutely sly downplaying the effect the prison had on him because that's just How he Is. there's no way one is not Traumatized tm from the extended visit to the contessa in general, and he was in the hole for Who Knows How Long. and of course it would be bentley who is being serious because like sly That's Just How He Is. he sees right through sly's facade.
"It's a metaphor how to flip the table / When my breathing slows down, I'll find an angle"
flipping the table is actually just him saving his brothers <3
WHEN MY BREATHIN' SLOWS DOWN, I'LL FIND AN ANGLE... say hello to the line that started it all (affectionate) that's bentley during the predator awakes' getaway!! that's his sleepless week of data crunching !! it just. AUGH. it's so very That.
"(Flip the table, find an angle / When my breathing slows down I'll)"
read as: the moment he can (aka when his "breathing slows down") he's gonna make for his brothers and come up with a plan (aka flipping the table & finding an angle.) it's just so very much jailbreak.
"I watch you dance for the apocalypse / It's not like you'd be running"
okay so i think in rebootiverse "it's not like you'd be running" is the current title for his journey to prague but that's gonna change p soon here sooo. anyway
thinking about this harder i think this is kind of. bentley about sly n' carmelita esque. i know that doesn't happen until A Tangled Web but it's just a matter of principal y'know. the "you" is of course sly and presumably "the apocalypse" metaphorically speaking is carmelita herself. bc sly's got a big heart and is a goober and will save the cop that's only making their job harder.
"And we both know I'm a colossal mess / Attempts to sate just agitate this longing"
[bentley voice] "the long walk out of the jungle gave me time to reflect, and with each passing step, my sense of isolation grew. shockingly, my comrade's absence was having a profound emotional effect on me!"
i think that... explains itself
(note: replay of the chorus)
"I flipped the table, I did / I love the way that you give / And if this angle's a bit unstable, I'll live"
AND THE HAPPY ENDING <3 these all have very different meanings they're just grouped together bc they are the happy ending lol.
i flipped the table i did - smiley face. bentley proved that he can kick ass on his own and saved his brothers
i love the way that you give - something something sappy for his brothers something something The Wizard something something
and if this angle's a bit unstable, i'll live - character development the beloved. like okay sly 1 and early sly 2 bentley is very rigid and stick to the plan and no, sly, shooting yourself out of a cannon is NOT a good thing!
but then jailbreak comes along and he's forced to do a lot of scrappy improv and he learns that he's actually really good at this. which paves the way for our much more calm cool & collected bentley that we see in sly 3 !!
bentley's character development is my absolute favorite thing, can you tell ? :]

VERSES UPDATE: 5/?
FAIRY DROPOUT / winx
what is it?
Sam Winchester used to be a Specialist in training at Red Fountain Academy and he never had a problem with fairies until his 16th birthday when he discovered he was one himself. His wings and powers had suddenly appeared while in a panic to save his older brother Dean ( @tobeblamed ) from an enemy while on their first solo mission.
Instead of informing anyone about his powers, Sam and Dean decided to hide them for the rest of the school year. It was a task easier said then done though and just before the end of their second semester, Sam decided to visit their rival school, Cloud Tower for witches, to see if they could remove his powers or, at the very least, just his fairy form. He was quickly laughed out.
At the start of the new school year, Sam finally relented and joined Alfea’s school for fairies where he was quickly welcomed in with open arms. He couldn’t say he felt the same though and spent his first year trying to avoid his fellow classmates whenever he could. He also spent that year avoiding his brother as well due to his disapproval of switching schools and just being a fairy in general (fairy-phobic).
It was during his second year as a fairy that Sam finally started accepting who and what he was. He became proud of his powers and even thought his wings were pretty badass. It was at this time that Sam finally became confident enough to visit Dean again and started making friends.
After graduating, Sam started to apprentice at the school’s library and after several years, became the new head librarian and a member of the school’s board.
tldr: Sam is a knight-turned-fairy who takes a while to accept his powers, but ultimately grows to love them. After graduating from fairy school, Sam becomes the school librarian and occasional student counselor to those still accepting their fairy-ness.
who else has made winx verses so far?
@tobeblamed
@lilyspaintedred
@gracethieved >:3c
@ofblackskies
@fidelissimi >:3c
more notes
Sam is the fairy of All-Sight (psychic shit)
His colors are orange, pink, gold, and black
He tutors his niece @lilyspaintedred when she first discovers her own powers
After graduating, Sam creates a spell that allows him to have his wings out at any time and is often seen wearing his casual clothes, but with giant sparkly wings sticking out
