#and i miss discussing ideas and i miss interacting and i miss having fun. god i just miss having fun.

[urlocallesbiab]

sorry to everyone who's been missing me/waiting for something from me, i've been slipping in and out of depressive fog for a week or two (and in general have experienced significantly worse depression than normal for a couple years, but that’s another story)

i long to get back, too; a lot of things to read and ideas to write and people to talk to. love y'all, take care

hades 2 conversation dialogue my sister and i found interesting

SPOILERS obviously. my sister has been failing her runs on purpose to get more dialogue out of people. this post discusses dialogue that was not in the developer stream.

on hermes (mel and hecate are speaking about hermes and artemis at the start):

on melinoë, artemis, and the olympians:

on why mel is the only one who can kill chronos:

on hecate & mel's relationship:

on a secret order that mel is apart of:

on mel's job at the crossroads:

tension and secrets in the crossroads!!!!

when you give hypnos nectar:

(i wasn't fast enough to get his reply. hypnos says something like "zzzz... welcome to the.... zzzz"), then mel says:

other things i didnt screengrab:

hypnos: mel can remark to charon that hypnos is still asleep, charon says "arrghhh," and mel says "wait, he's of more use this way...?" possibly implying hypnos's sleep is not what it seems

nemesis: is uhhh kind of really mean!!!! she says something to mel along the lines of "you're upset you lost a family you don't remember? i KNEW my mom, all you did was be born"

moros: you can invite moros to the crossroads and he stands near the fated list far from everyone because nobody wants to talk to doom incarnate (odysseus in particular makes a point to say he'll stay away). iirc he introduces himself as "the bearer of bad news" which i find kind of clever but also a bit sad. if you give him nectar iirc he says nobody has given him a gift/offering before. aphrodite also notes that moros has made mel's acquaintance and calls him good-looking.

hephaestus: he criticizes your weapon's workmanship when you first meet him, then later takes it back and compliments it as very good, and says "just don't go spreading it around" to the olympians.

takeaways:

hermes is "missing" but he's on a mission for the war to find out what chronos is scheming

artemis (and hermes) didn't tell the olympians hecate has been raising a titan-killer (mel) and the olympians don't really believe she can do it but send her boons anyway, presumably figuring why not

only mel can enter the house of hades to challenge chronos, so that's why she needs to make this journey alone

hecate is rather sweet and mentorly with mel, but she gets exhausted and irritated when mel doubts herself. i didn't grab it but there's a bit where mel says if hecate had not held back, she knows she would've lost, and hecate snaps "you know?" asking mel why she puts limits on herself

mel, hecate, selene, and artemis are part of a secret order called the silver sisters that hermes also supports. olympus does not know about it. all these gods (save hermes) also have moon iconography in their designs

pretty sure moros will be romanceable. i think his and mel's interactions are very sweet, and aphrodite notes he's arrived and calls him good-looking, which reminded me of how she commented on thanatos to zag. no idea who might be a female romance option yet (i'm assuming there is one)

hephaestus boons are a lot of fun, per my sister

the big one: HECATE AND NEMESIS KNOW SOMETHING WE DON'T??? hecate maybe knew an attack was coming and didn't do anything?? nyx is also confirmed to basically be not around though we don't know where she is. and hecate is something called a handmaiden??? is she meant to serve nyx? it now seems like the children of nyx are meant to serve hecate, and eris isn't doing that, but nemesis is playing guard duty begrudgingly. so maybe nemesis thinks hecate let the house be captured/destroyed for her own ends, possibly also to get nyx out of the picture, so nyx's children would serve her(?). maye nyx is also a silver sister and hecate is now in command at the crossroads/on earth, second only to selene?

Ok guy I was feeling really bad that I didn't write out something to you guys in that moots giving chain so here's my separate moot appreciation post

Firstly

@foreignink yeah I don't know when you will come online again OR if you'll come online again but honestly speaking, you are one of my most beloved person both online and irl. You were the first one ever who listened to my endless ramblings and stupid stories I made up no matter how questionable or out of pocket they were. I loved sitting next to you and chatting away the entire break. I miss you I miss you since the day we last saw eachother after crying like idiots infront of the school. You will always be my baby mwah I love you <3 ✨💚🧡 everything orange always reminds me of you.

First Time Reading Girl Genius Novels 2

I am not surprised Agatha thought Lilith’s reaction to being told her lack of uniformity made her like Judy so it was fine was a bit odd. That is a weird interaction for her on so many levels.

Agatha’s gradual realisation as a child of the way the world around her discriminates against people like her parents gives me emotions.

She has a much more vivid memory of Barry than I expected, ‘seemed worried about things he couldn’t talk about’ is spot on and also heartbreaking

Agatha’s joy at having a home and stability for the first time is a lovely thing to add, she misses Barry of course but it’s interesting that they clarified he wasn’t in a good place or position to be raising a child

The late night argument and Barry’s collapsing mental health and possible death told through three increasingly rambling letters also giving me many emotions

The Heterodynes as an almost religious presence, an ideal people aspire to, like, ‘we should live our lives as if they will return’ is such a spiritual way to put it which I kind of love worldbuilding wise.

Jägers and Boris having an intense rivalry is one of my favourite running jokes and the backstory of Klaus enforcing a time limit on their fights before he has to mediate really reminds me of the ‘it’s like running a kindergarten’ line.

An opportunistic doughnut seller seeing the Baron engaged in a total and hostile take over of his town with his heir, second in command and soldiers and deciding they might not have had time to grab breakfast is exactly the kind of batshit insanity I expect from this setting.

Gil and Klaus just running madly through the streets, dodging crates and jumping on to walls in sync while keeping up a conversation like this is just about Tuesday (which it is for them) must be a pretty weird sight even for bystanders in girl genius

The older jäger grinning at Adam is a nice bit of foreshadowing

Just generally loving the fact that the jägers saying weird shit and arguing over things that make no sense is so normalised that it allows them to get away with hiding basically anything even if most of them have no idea what subtlety is

Gil and Klaus taking a moment to discuss how best to cover the undressed girl in front of them before proceeding further is kind of hilarious to me

Also every iteration of this exchange ‘You don’t find the fact that the girl is running about in a machine shop in her underwear to be unusual? Red fire, boy, what sort of lab did you maintain in school?’ Plus Gil’s blushing and ‘Father! please!’ is comedic gold.

The jägers finding loopholes to secretly give Klaus a guard when he’s in one of his moods (which are apparently a known and regular thing) where he wants to do everything by himself just because, is both wholesome and funny

The tavern song. Oh my god.

I need more information about how Agatha wandering around in her underwear makes Sleipnir assume she’s English.

Interesting that she’s calling her the Von Pinn. I never noticed that happening in the comic.

Descriptions of the school are nice to have, especially the bulletin boards covered in drawings, letters and so on, really makes it feel like an actual primary school.

Extremely rare Klaus feminist moment on the trousers front, though it’s definitely more about practicality than anything else

Agatha was shocked at Sleipnir referring to Wooster as a codfish, Girl Genius characters’ weird idea of what counts as swearing is so much fun

Children cycling around the airship delivering messages is a nice touch as are all the other details about Castle Wulfenbach, it really drives home the whole nerve centre and capital city of the empire thing

Saying you refer to your boyfriend as Herr Nice to justify not recognising his name is certainly one approach

Mowgli. Agatha you are fooling nobody here

Them ripping a machine apart while they’re plummeting to the ground and grinning maniacally should not be as adorable as it is

Khrizan gently cradling Agatha, calling her sweetheart and checking that she’s alright should have been a clue to someone that there as something special about her

Morbid children’s songs my beloved

Theo’s little interactive bit where he chases the children around during the story is so absurdly endearing.

“He nodded to the girls as he passed ‘RHaah,’ he said conversationally.” Did I mention I love Theo?

PRT is a genius bit of worldbuilding and I love it. That whole section is amazing especially the fact that personality shifts going more insane is only a tricky hypothetical on a test paper because Sparks are already like that to start with

I love that the tables are designed to be constantly replaced because they let the kids try out their new gadgets at mealtimes for serving the food.

They all bring different dishes from wherever they’re from which is also nice

The school is a lot bigger than I thought if they’re implying what we see is only a tenth of its normal capacity.

Klaus insisting that they go and oversee or assist in the harvests themselves to try and curb the culture of elitism is great and the way the kids actually look forward to it as opposed to their parents who hate it shows its actually working

The fact that Lucifer Mongfish’s conflicts with the Heterodynes are considered the cause of Bill’s marriage to Lucrezia rather than an obstacle tells you a lot

The logistics of family gatherings where every family member wants to and has tried to kill each other

Agatha comparing an argument between two twelve year olds to one between two teachers at her university is very in character with sparks

The Large Dangerous Mechanical Lab being the real name is kind of funny

[codenamethebird]

Okay if we are going to develop the Circe/Odysseus dynamic in Hades 2, they have to go all in. Give me all the drama and murder haha. So Cassiphone is the daughter of Circe and Odysseus, whose name literally means "brother killer". There's a lot of nonsense in her myth, she marries her half-brother Telemachus at one point, but I think they can just ignore that part and keep the murder. Sorry Tele I do this cause I love u!

Random extended thoughts below cut (also trigger warning for some discussions of dubious consent):

Okay I think a lot of Hades fans are hoping that Odysseus is lying about how happily he was with Circe, which I won't pretend I'm not one of them. While I do enjoy a reimagining where Circe and similar characters escape the kind of gross tropes of woman being either the dutiful wife or the vile seductress, I do think Circe being shitty works within the larger themes of the game. How the gods trivialize and are just generally the worst to mortals (and u know, Circe is a god, she's the daughter of a titan).

So while it does pain me a bit for female characters everywhere, for the grander narrative, Odysseus being coersed into having sex with her is interesting. And that producing a child after he left the island is just ripe for drama. While also a bit cartoonish, Circe naming her kid "brother killer" as a sort of curse, dooming poor Cassiphone to her fate is witchy and on theme.

I imagine Cassi showing up in Ithaca after Odysseus dies, so Telemachus is king. And well it doesn't go well as I drew above. I haven't entirely decided what happens after that, but I do know she's wreaked by grief and regret. And while she always had a complicated relationship with her mother, it goes absolutely sour after this, realizing her whole life was to be a weapon.

I go back and forth whether she dies or not, but either way, when Chronos rises, she sides with him against her mom and the gods. And who else sides with Chronos: Penelope and, more importantly, Telemachus. Incredibly awkward family reunions ensue.

But in more serious, I like the idea of Telemachus being incredibly emotionally mature about the whole thing, understanding how Cassi didn't really have any choice in the matter, and trying to reach out and bond with his sister. But Cassi is guilt ridden and constantly avoids him.

I don't think they'd do this, but I think it would be really cool if Cassiphone and Telemachus were the final surface area's mini bosses (like Asterius). And through Meli interacting with them, it allows them to finally get over the awkward murder between them and bond as siblings. And maybe after u fix their relationship, they fight u together as a boss fight, so Meli accidentally made things harder on herself pfft. (And fun angst potential for Mel as she's missing her older brother).

But yeah, other bonus thoughts about my version of Cassiphone:

She's a vegetarian because of the trauma of her mom turning sailors into pigs.

She has pig ears for the same reason, and because it's cute haha.

I didn't really do enough to show this on her design, but I like her having owl feathers, kind of replacing her mom's pelts. I imagine she has a very weird relationship with Athena. So it can both be a sign of respect for her or insult (you don't need to kill an owl to have its feathers, but that's one way of getting a bunch of them).

There's also a lot of interesting ideas to explore with her and Penelope. Penelope being forced to look at an embodiment of her husband's 'betrayal'. But she could also be the one who tells Penelope actually what happened, finally revealing why her husband was so weird about it all and paving the way for reconciliation.

But yes, I've talked about this before, but Hades 2 lacks witch related antagonists for Melinoe. Give me more witches!

[tooruuwuu]

acelaw fic idea? or something? HEAR ME OUT

ace lives. somehow. maybe he shows signs of living that go unnoticed at first, everyone trying to rush luffy out of there. law doesn't get to do much other than seeing his dead lover's body from afar, he's absolutely out of it but he knows he needs to save luffy.

(maybe him and luffy interacted back at the auction house, luffy recognising him immediately. "ace was right!! the 'death' on your fingers is so cool!!")

law can only bring himself to blame ace for talking about his baby brother so much. for making law unintentionally have a soft spot for luffy as well. it's all ace's fault. so law focuses on his lover's brother. ace wouldn't want anything to hurt luffy after all.

marco on the other hand notices signs, he notices the slight flicker of pyro on ace's body and he immediately knows, he immediately acts on it, trying his best to get his brother out of here to a place where he can find proper equipment and peace to heal ace while shanks negotiates with the government. the red haired pirates help them out. everything takes time to settle but ace comes out alive.

fast forward to six months, ace wakes up. he calls out for luffy immediately, in panic, a part of him screams for law, for his lover who he hadn't listened to, for his lover who he hadn't seen in god knows how long, for his lover who loved, missed and longed for.

marco had left ace behind with the red haired pirates, trusting them to keep him safe while he gets the whitebeard crew together. they help him out, reassuring ace they'll take him to luffy.

(ace asks about law too. he finds out his lover had saved his baby brother's life, he felt immensely relieved and grateful. but he also found out his lover was now a warlord, it was unexpected but ace knew law must've had his motives.)

ace and luffy's reunion is a tearful one, they cling to each other for days to pass, always by each other's side and rayleigh definitely does not mind another student, curious to get to know ace.

boa hancock was extremely generous to ace. (the man choked on air when the 31 year old woman called him 'brother-in-law'. but he found it rather amusing as well with how uninterested his little brother was about the entire thing)

ace spent his time with luffy, while actively trying to get a hold of law's whereabouts, shakky told him she hadn't heard anything about law in months. ace hated how good his lover was at keeping low profile.

ace has a long discussion with marco. marco and all of the remaining crew had decided to settle down, scattered on different island that were still under their territory, everyone was content with it but marco urged ace to not follow that, offhandedly mentioning how he could tag along with luffy. ("hah!? i don't want my brother to be my captain!" "you're not obliged to work under him, talk to him about it-yoi")

luffy is absolutely ecstatic with the idea of ace wanting to go adventure with him in the new world. happy that his brother will be with him for a longer time.

rayleigh and shakky advice him to disguise himself. while luffy and his crew were just rumoured to be dead it was way worse with ace. the entire world saw him die. so ace goes with it. he leaves for sabaody before luffy, promising to meet him at the sunny go when he's about to set sail. ace spends his entire time trying to dig up information on law, the information he found was interesting, amusing even, but nothing enough to give him any clues on where exactly law was. ace sighs in distress, he hoped the new world will be more helpful.

meeting the crew again was fun, ace realises. from their reactions to him being alive to the little reunion the strawhats had, coming together after two years. (it made ace miss his own crew, his own family)

punk hazard catches his attention in a way no island had in a while. fishman island was fun, but it was an island ace had visited more than once, considering how it was one of his crew's territories- or well used to be.

luffy offers ace to come along with him, zoro, robin and ussop as they set off to explore punk hazard. ace realises soon which area this was, a part of him grimaced, shuddering when he realised who had caused this, who the magma belonged to. he politely refused, joking about how he'll take care of luffy's crew while he's off having fun.

when they get attacked, ace springs into action, but quickly has to withdraw once he realises the men were carrying poisoned gas with them.

he shapeshifts into fire quick, using it as a disguise to hide away from the poison as he eavesdrops their conversation carefully, it seemed they were heading to the other part of the island, the one covered with snow, aokiji's work.

however he does make a mistake, getting to close to the gas without realizing, he tried to find a safe spot immediately, somewhere that would keep him away from getting caught.

he passes out from the gas in the library and is later woken up by brook ("they couldn't kill me cause i'm already dead yohohoho!") ace offers to go look after the others and brook easily agrees, saying he'll take care of the sunny till then.

in the past two years ace trained his haki well, he closes his eyes as he feels the cold wind rush through his face, trying to sense where everyone was located...ah! all the strawhats seemed to be together at one place but...ace freezes. sensing someone unexpected, someone who wasn't part of the strawhats, someone who ace was all too familiar with.

he rushes in that direction immediately, uncaring that he might get caught, too ansty, too desperate to see- feel his love right now.

ace's pace slows down as he reaches an abandoned lab, panting slightly, he can hear luffy talking to the rest. "will you betray me?"

"no." and god. god ace right. the voice was none other than law's. his beloved's, it makes ace feel weak in the knees, his eyes well up, as he finally looks up to where law stood beside luffy. his breath hitched. law was more built, had a long black coat covering his body, his hat was different but has the same pattern, he stil had that spotted jeans he wore on a daily basis and law- god his face was everything. ace had yearned for years to see him again, to hear him again to just- be with law.

ace doesn't wait a single moment, snapping out of his daze as he practically crashes into law, both of them now on the ice cold floor of the abandoned laboratory. "law" he whispers out with so much emotion.

law freezes. quite literally in shock when he felt a body collide into him, he was about to summon his powers when he heard his name, the voice was awfully familiar, law could not being himself to believe any of this was real

"oh torao!" luffy laughed "i completely forgot to tell you about ace! he's alive! see?" law doesn't understand how could luffy forget something so important but it doesn't matter, his hands tremble and shake as they slowly reach out for the man on top of him, the man who had his face buried in law's shoulder. words couldn't form, he couldn't bring himself to speak as his fingers ran through ace's body, finally cupping his face, law stared, and stared more. none of this felt real, he tried to swallow the lump forming in his throat, a hoarse whisper finally tumbles out "ace"

law doesn't say ace's name often, mostly sticking to hiken-ya, but that doesn't pop up in his head when he held his lover's face in his hands, his eyes roaming around his face in confirmation, wanting to believe what he was seeing was true, when ace nodded, giving him the reassurance he needed, law let his tears slip freely.

no one interrupts them and neither of them speak either, too overwhelmed to form words. they'll talk later, they know they will. ace was alive, ace was with law, they had time.

they had time.

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

I'm fascinated by the idea of ​​Bonnie hugging "Smallfreen" it's just so adorable and tragic. And where still some monsters are exsist. And... imagin that bonny would be hurt cause player didnt pay attention in theyr sprite form. nothing to seriouse, just some little scratches, but imagin confrontation betwen player and bonny, where player gennyally dont understand why the hell bonny will even do such a thing?! They know that this stupid fake body is just a mirage! It cant be hurt!!! THEN WHY DID BONNY ACT SO REACLESS AND DO SOMETHING SO STUPID LIKE TRY TO PUSH THEM AWAY?! IT LITERALLY THEYR JOB TO PROTECT BONNY THEN WH!!!

And bonny will answer in wery high tone that of cause they dont want player to be hurt!!! THEY DONT WANNA ANYONE TO BE HURT CAUSE OF THEM!!! The player... They look just like a Frin but most importantly... they are theyr friend! They here because bonny dont know that to do, they keep this wrong party in some distance they help, wiyh the Loop, with moments where Bonny dont know that to do, they keep them safe and and... And bonny dont whanna them to be hurt! Because... because!!! (Player... dont know that yo think. They... dont... know... that they feel then this speach is adress to them. After all... they really cant be hurt in thisplace. Not really. Then why....)

And I just think about this whole CH!Mira situation and the weird and loving way the player treats her and I can't help but think about the Player joking about how each Mira seems to be receiving affection from god-like powers. And I just imagine the Player somehow managing to end up in this Mira's friend quest (neither of them understands how it happened but it is what it is) and somehow it works. And… I just can't help but think that at some point… the Player will realize that if they want Bonnie to have her family back (for that is their role in this story at this point) they will have to destroy this version. Tear them apart down to their very core and pull out what was lost. They have to fix it. That's why they are here. … and then, Mira… (they feel sick just thinking about it)

Well, apparently they should add unhealthy attachment to some characters to the list of symptoms of their "Syphrinization"~ (The player is shaking from the realization of what they are going to do with Mira. Mirabelle. They feel bad. Oh, my God, why do they love so easily? It was unfair) They don't know why and how they started caring about her (she's just a character! (isn't she?)) but that's how it turned out (They know the reason perfectly well. They just never admit it to anyone (there are things that are better not to remember))

And if they hug Bonnie a little tighter the next time they are asked to hug them, it doesn't mean anything (and if they have a sketchbook hidden in their desk where they desperately sketch THEIR Mirabelle… no one needs to know that)

On the good side they still can gaslight the group!!! And it fun!!!! (They miss theyr siffrin. They mean it nice to finally being able interact with the group but.... (maybe they really need to do something with theyr attachmet isshue? ... nah. Maybe next time))

And imagin player making the hair to Mira, humming something (everyone else is clearly distress by this whole situation, and by the fact that Player freely shifts theyr hands go something less human like to make shure that they make this good. And... maybe a little envy, at least some of them)

(And just imagin player go under the favor tree in this Siffscin and Loop... just act to them... like they act towards Stardust. A little mean a little... familiar. Nothing to much. They didnt really discuss it. But... it was comforting. Even for a moment. (They didnt deserve this))

Imma tuck that Bonnie and Player moment away for a future little fic there.

Also that little angst there with the Player having to destroy this version of Mira in order to get Bonnie their friends back. Yeeesss.

But yeah no it's totally normal for the Player to ignore their feelings in exchange for gaslighting the group. Yep. Totally.

//Sorry for the sudden silence! I just realized that I missed the blog's anniversary! As of July 30th, i's officially been a year since I first made the ask blog. Thank you to everyone that's been around and has interacted with the characters. It's been a lot of fun and I've loved interacting and talking with all of you!

To kick off another year, have a mini blurb (because I can't write a short story currently and I'm still working on answering asks)// //EDIT: There's officially over a hundred of you??? I don't know what to say other than thank you all so so much!! The blurb will be under a read more since it's so long//

Sun: It's been a year already? It's hard to believe.

Lunar: So much has happened!

Eclipse: I have no idea what they even have planned for me. I'm not even in the actual story yet.

Solar: Ya think any of us know what they're planning?

Eclipse: ...Fair.

Moon: Are you guys coming or what? We're taking a picture.

Poppy: Hold your horses! Some of us are a bit slower than others, friend!

Kill Code: Would you like a hand?

Poppy: *blushes* Oh, no thank you, kind sir! Now bumblebee, straighten out your shirt. The daycare logo is all crooked.

Solar: Thanks, Poppy.

Poppy: You're welcome!

Lunar: It's hard to believe it's been a year. And last year there was only five of us!

Sun: Yeah, ten is definitely a lot more than five. And something tells me that isn't all of us, either.

Lunar Who knows! I like things better now, though. I'm glad we have everyone! We'll, everyone but-

Midnight: Yeah, yeah. Just stick me in the back. I ain't stayin' long. Goddamn stupid-

//Mun God hopes that Midnight is not about to make any sort of derogatory statement towards his Eclipse, let alone Mun God. And certainly not towards Quill.//

/Yeah, what they said! ....Wait, me too??/

//Mun God does not want to discuss this further with Quill.//

/But...ok. *blushes*/

Midnight: I ain't sayin' sh-

//Mun God hates to inform Midnight that they can no longer speak- at least, not until after the photo is taken. Midnight understands, correct??//

Midnight: *glares*

Harvest: Brother, your tie is crooked.

Bloody: Ughhhhh bloody pain and bother! Why need?

Harvest: *chuckles* It's just for a picture, then you can get rid of it. I promise.

Bloody: Don't like.

Harvest: Neither do I, but we can chase squirrels later, if you want.

Bloody: ....

Harvest: I'll throw in the new nylabone I bought you.

Bloody: Ok!

Moon: Geez, how do you even work this thing?

Sun: I think you need to set it up to your internal camera? That way you can take the picture without a timer.

Moon: But then I'll be blinking in the picture.

Sun: Hm...Clip? Any ideas?

Solar: Give it here, I'll do it.

Moon: You don't have to-

Solar: Least I can do. Just lemme work with it.

Lunar: Chip! Can I help?!

Solar: *smiles* Nah, but I appreciate it.

Midnight: *flips him off*

Solar: Uh...why ain't he talkin'?

//Mun God is unsure, it certainly is strange...//

/Melpomene! Be nice!/

//Mun God does not know what Quill means./

/Come on! It's bad enough you won't tell them about-/

Poppy: Ooh! Are we going to talk about when Solar gets-

/Oh! But what about when Eclipse finally realizes-/

//Mun God does not want to silence Quill and Poppy, but Mun God will if that is what it takes to avoid future events being spoiled.//

Poppy: Oops! Sorry, Melpomene!

//.....It is alright.//

/Aw, you're soft!/

//Mun God wants Quill to shut up.//

Kill Code: Eclipse. Perhaps it would help if you-

Eclipse: What?

Solar: What?

Kill Code: Apologies, I was talking to Solar.

Eclipse: *scoffs, rolls his eyes* Of course you were.

Kill Code: Son, I do not mean to slight you.

Eclipse: Whatever.

Solar: 'Clipse? You wanna help me with this? I don't know what I'm doin'.

Eclipse: *straightens up with a smile* 'Course you don't. Dumbass.

Solar: *smiles and hands him the camera* Least I can see what I'm doin'.

Eclipse: What's that supposed to-

Solar: *smirks* Kinda hard ta see when yer close ta the ground.

Eclipse: You son of a-

Poppy: I wish I was in my physical form...I was hoping I could hug Sol.

/I'm sorry...maybe when we do an ask event in the future? Maybe we could do one where we go back in time when you and Solar were still sharing a body?/

Poppy: *smiles gently* I would like that, thank you!

/We'll see!/

Midnight: *growls*

Kill Code: *picks him up by the hook* So you are the one who hurt Solar...*snarls*

Midnight: *stares in fear*

Solar: 'S alright, KC. Mun God has 'im on a leash. He can't talk.

Kill Code: Is that so? Well, then it is the perfect opportunity for me to say what needs said-

Eclipse: Gods, Moon. Could you have gotten a more complicated camera?

Moon: Blame Fazbear! It's the only one I could find!

Eclipse: Christ on a stick....Finally! Alright. Everyone gather around, it's time. I'm not doing this more than once.

Sun: Ok, ok, Lunar stand here, then Moon, Solar go between me and the twins, Eclipse by Lunar in the front, KC in the back, Poppy with KC, Midnight...

Midnight: *glares where Kill Code is still holding him*

Sun: ...Stay there. Perfect.

Eclipse: I'm doing one countdown. Blink now or forever hold your peace. Ten-

Sun: Nine!

Moon: Eight.

Lunar: Seven!

Bloody: Six!

Harvest: Five!

Solar: Four.

Poppy: Three!

Kill Code: Two.

Midnight:

Thank you for one year!

[seven-snails]

im watching yurikuma arashi (my piece of media for february, last month's was trigun stampede) and im really liking it but i feel like my brain is not big enough for this show 😭😭 i read the manga adaptation a couple years back but i remember approximately none of it so essentially im going in blind lol

god where do i even start. the hito = person = homo(sapiens)/yuri = lily = homo(sexual) wordplay going on in the subtitles is kind of fun. that's not really important though i just appreciate the work the translators are putting in

i feel like as with any ikuhara work there's a level of metaphor happening that you can see through really easily - like DUH the bears are an obvious stand-in for homosexuality, and of course the line about "girls who have strayed from the herd" refers to the same - but beyond that it gets so much harder to parse. thoughts under the cut 🫶

(this show does deal quite explicitly with themes around sex/sexuality, so content warning for mild nsfw discussion under the cut)

something that stands out to me immediately, which i feel like was discussed in the post i saw years ago that initally introduced me to this show, is that the ursa are being used as a vector for the simultaneous societal demonization and sexualization of sapphic love. the ursa consume these girls wantonly, and are painted as something monstrous and other as a result of these feeding habits; at the same time, the act of feeding, as we see it portrayed when kureha is involved, is overtly sexual. the ursa become young, lithe girls, and the camera doesn't shy away from objectifying their exposed bodies. when interacting with each other as ursa, however, their hunger rolls off their backs like play-fighting between kittens - they no longer have to fear being turned into one of the monstrous, after all. the appearance of the ursa also directly plays into this; in the show's mythos, the ursa are menacing and dangerous, creatures to be feared, but are presented as small, non-threatening, teddy bearish animals - in a similar way, lesbianism is feared for its potential to "corrupt" young girls, but never taken seriously as an aspect of one's personhood or lived experience, instead objectified and treated as novelty. this link between the ursa and homosexuality is something the show is acknowledging in its text on so many levels; after sumika goes missing, the other girls at the school discuss how it's safest to go about in groups of three or more - the implication being that leaving yourself alone with another person opens you up to being preyed on by an ursa in disguise. in a way, this wraps around to being an in-universe societal condemnation of sumika and kureha's relationship, though no one around them seems to think much of their bond otherwise - like, *of course* someone like sumika got picked off, why would you spend time alone with one other girl unless there was something off about you (ie. because you're already one of the ursa, or because you're otherwise in league with them).

it's interesting to me that life beauty keeps winning the court cases against life cool. the species divide court is supposed to be unbiased and impartial, dispensing justice according to an arbitrary universal balance - that the ursa were exonerated in both episodes i watched seems to be building up to the revelation that the ursa's feeding habits aren't the gluttonous acts they're set up to be, that allowing them to pursue their desires falls well within the theoretical universal standard of "fairness" despite the charges being lodged against them. which. *queer woman voice* duh lmao.

it's also interesting to me that the ursa are tied to the idea of sexual maturity/relationships transitioning to a more "adult" or physically intimate stage. sumika and kureha obviously care for one another very deeply, but they were still very much acting like two younger kids with crushes on each other - holding hands and whispering sweet nothings, but not much beyond that. in contrast, all the ursa we've met have engaged in sexual activity with a partner, or at least expressed a desire to. there's an idea being drawn out here that intimacy between girls is acceptable as a childish phase to be grown out of, but something that becomes dangerous when it persists into womanhood, and given these girls are just coming into puberty, it makes sense that in a lot of cases the line ends up being blurred, characters like yurizono starting on the "safe" side but quickly turning into ursa as their devotion to and lust for another girl grows.

anyway. super fun so far and im excited to see how it all plays out!! i do remember a little more from near the end of the series, so it'll be interesting to see how it fits in with what's being established here at the beginning :)

Trigger Happy Casters: Winners! ~

Congratulations to @corporalotherbear, @izzet-always-r-versus-u and @wildcardgamez for winning this week's contest!

@corporalotherbear — Keranos's Conduit

I was really hoping for weird cards like this, and boy howdy is this card weird without actually being weird. I think that because I get exactly how the name, setting and ability come together, this is one of those cards where the mood presupposes the vibe even without a visual. Kinda funny because you're using stormless storm with the God of Storms, right? Heh. Anyway, though, this card can swing games like nobody's business. Limited means your Auras and "heroic" triggers—and also Constellation triggers!—become that much more radical. It makes having a lot of bodies and limited Auras so much better.

In terms of random constructed thoughts, can you imagine this with something like Etali's Favor? Because it's a cast trigger, you'll discover so much that you can hit and cast all the smaller Auras, which will get all of those other triggers if they got 'em, and so on and so forth. Sage of Mysteries, major mill? Wicked Visitor end step triggers? There are lots of ways to make this card fun and brewable and I'm really impressed by how much this card can be fun at the helm of its own deck. What a rockin' card and what a cool idea.

@izzet-always-r-versus-u — The Cozen, Syndicate Enforcer

PUNISHMENT. I love punishment! I love punishing people for their crimes of free-casting! Being symmetrical is kinda funny but at the same time reasonable for the colors. I'm thinking of cost reductions, Omniscience punishing, Force punishing, Elemental punishing—hm. I do actually wish this wasn't fully symmetrical but it don't matter because hnnnnng. Having this be so situational probably means that it's not going to have a massive effect on the various limited formats. Are there any common ways to reduce costs? Hm... Affinity, Convoke, Cascade and Discover, Cipher, Delve... Heh heh heh. Okay, it's environment-dependent, but still. Oh gosh, and Plot too.

I was also shocked that this specific flavor text hasn't been used because I could have SWORN that I've read it before. But you know, taking a character from flavor text and turning them into an actual card is one of my personal favorite things that people pull out from time to time—if done properly—and a debt collector punishing people for not paying their costs is pretty perfect. I honestly think this card is missing flash, though, and I don't know if that's negligible. It would make such a massive difference, and yeah, the body or cost would have to change, but having that kind of interaction almost feels necessary for the environment in which this card needs to be. Almost. I'm willing to hear arguments against it, though, so you know—invitation to discussion and all that.

@wildcardgamez — Galazeth's Whelp

You know, what I like about this card is that functionally you can pay the mana and get a Treasure regardless of whether or not the spell resolves, and that works similarly to the pitch cards from Prismari that would help you get to those massive spells eventually. People...definitely cast those. For sure. Anyway. I'm curious about if the dragons on Arcavios actually could have offspring, but I guess this card is the answer to that, right? Or maybe this is just a manifestation, or a dragon in the same clan, or whatever. Doesn't matter—this card is a functional card that does a LOT of work. I absolutely love how well this card functions in a spellslinging deck.

My Magical Christmas Land scenario would be to chain together spells like Sudden Breakthrough and Ancestor's Aid, deal an insane amount of damage, draw cards if you have cards like Flick a Coin, etc. I think it might be too slow for prowess-style decks but in terms of just Izzet Spells, this card's a limited bomb and a constructed possibility. Magecraft to damage is an awesome combo and this card does all those little pieces right. Sometimes the right combination can make some wonderful work happen. Flavorfully, too, it's all the best parts of artifacts and spellslinging together. Great job overall, I'd say! ... Just capitalize "Treasure" in the future, comrade.

Runners comin' up soon. @abelzumi

DAY 11: DANGANTOBER

Day 11: Favorite Character Design

Oh. My. God. I had the absolute HARDEST time picking who to write this post about. I went through four different drafts, first picking Izuru, then Gundham, then Kiibo, and now finally, Miu Iruma. For the most part, I think the character designs in Danganronpa are really hit or miss. You either get outfits that absolutely SLAY, or you get Kazuichi's highlighter jumpsuit. Miu is one of these character's whose outfits are runway worthy. But first, let's discuss who she is as a character. Miu is one of my favorite characters in V3. Usually, I don't really like the characters who make unnecessary sexual jokes and references, I find it very uncomfortable when done in excess. Obviously, there's exceptions to this, I can handle it when it's in confession form (SEND ME THIRST/GENERAL CONFESSIONS), or when I'm in-person. Anybody who knows me in real life, will know that my humor is very explicit in nature as well. But when I'm playing a game, I try to avoid anything like that. It's the same reason I'm not a big fan of Teruteru (even though if you're a fan of his, chances are you're pretty chill). But for some reason, despite being the BIGGEST offender of this, I find Miu to be a really fun character.

Miu reminds me of one of my friends IRL, and even that friend agrees with that notion. Miu is very funny, especially in her dynamics with Kokichi. Every time the two of them would interact during a trial, it got a very good laugh out of me. THEY WERE GOING FOR EACH OTHER'S THROATS (literally. Looking at you, chapter four).

She's actually smarter than a lot of people give her credit for. Her entire murder plot in chapter four was actually very well-thought out, from the minor tweaks in the code, to the fail safes she put throughout the game. If she had succeeded, there wouldn't really be any reason to suspect her, and she'd have had a monopoly on all information available in the Neo World Program.

She's also very useful post-mortem, with the Electro Hammers and that one EMP grenade being her creations. Kokichi even had her make a device that would allow him to fake control over the Exisals. Despite her death, she still plays a very big part in the final chapters of the game.

Even if you want to look at trials, she almost always guesses the correct killer. Two examples come to mind, mainly Kirumi and Korekiyo. With Kirumi, she states "I think the cleaning lady did it!" before the group even suspects Kirumi. With Korekiyo, she says "I think you killed them [Angie and Tenko] both!", while everyone was still operating on the idea of there being two killers. I think two blackeneds at once would've been very cool, but alas.

But, let me get back on track, and go back to talking about her design. Let's use this full-body sprite as a reference.

Like many V3 characters, Miu suffers from what I call "Dusty Palette". To me, the colors are too toned down from previous games, and it looks like everyone is covered in a layer of dust. Despite this though, Miu's color palette still manages to be pleasing to the eye. She's mainly pink, with hints of blue, yellow, white, and black. Initially, you wouldn't really think this color combination would work, but it does. The variation on shades creates contrast, the impression of gold detailing against black backgrounds and great shading. She gives like, pastel steampunk vibes. Like, you're LYING if you say Miu wouldn't rock this hat.

On the topic of accessories like this cool hat, Miu knows how to accessorize her outfit. She has on studded, fingerless gloves, goggles, a choker, necklaces resembling barbed wire, and harness straps with gold rings on it. A lot of what she wears has a sense of utility to it. The goggles are the most obvious ones, not only do they make for a good hair look, but she can easily pull them down to work on something. The gloves also fall in this theme, allowing for mobility and hand protection from machinery, while matching her style. The harness and straps are also utilitarian, holding up her socks and providing posture structure, but it's also meant to illicit more of a suggestive undertone. Anyone familiar with Korekiyo's favorite past-time will know what I'm talking about. This is very in-line with her character, wearing things that can be seen as risque, but aren't overtly so, because she's not actually experienced with that.

The lower half of her outfit, the awesome boots, knit or ribbed socks, the straps, and the flowy, pleated skirt all really go well together. The boots come off as a yassified version of Kiyotaka's boots, as well as Junko's. The colors match her palette as well, no mixing of metals here. I believe her boots are supposed to reminiscent of bondage boots, since that's quite literally an item you can give her in-game. The knit socks are giving Pinterest autumn girlie, it stands out a bit, but it's also kind of a statement. You just know those are warm and comfy. We've already discussed the straps, but me personally, I feel like those kinds of garters are really nice touches on outfits. Catch me on Dress To Impress putting those on EVERYTHING.

The upper half of her outfit consists of her jewelry, a chest and arm harness, the gloves, goggles, and pink sailor's uniform with a blue bow. The pink outfit set is so unique, especially when there's already a ton of other female characters in that same traditional uniform. The list is endless really, Sayaka, Toko, Sakura, Peko, Ibuki, Tenko, and Maki all sporting some variation of the outfit. But none of them have theirs in pink, and none of them have accessorized it like Miu has. Honestly, she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment.

Miu is an amazing character, with even better fashion sense. While I can't CONFIDENTLY say I'd be her friend if she were real, I can definitely say she's provide joy when around her. She's smart, fashionable, and funny. I think she can be a bit awkward and insecure, but honestly, more reason to love her.

Just ignore the Love Suites, Love Across The Universe, and honestly, Free Time Event routes too. Jeez, Shuichi and Kiibo are victims.

And honorable mention goes to her admitting to giving Kiibo a camera function so he can take pictures of her...er...waste, and analyze it for her health. Once it was revealed that he was a camera for the entire game, basically streaming everything he sees, one must wonder how much the audience actually saw lmao. Tsumugi was sweating (truth) BULLETS after that reveal for sure.

PERMANENT PLOTTER / RELATIONSHIP CALL

happy almost year to this game and this blog so i figured it's time to finally put up a permanent plotter up.

liking this post means you're a-okay with me sending memes on meme day or just hopping in your inbox for something random ( and vice versa! ). you're also cool with me jumping into dms to discuss plots and all, and also just throwing out random starters your way. you're also cool with me liking starter calls and replying to your minis without feeling like i'm being bothersome!

just a warning is most relationships discussed will prob be pre-established stuff if we haven't interacted before, mainly because i'm just a lil tired of writing new meetings!

below is kind of a list of relationship types i'm interested in!! not rly anything final ( fantasy ) but just kinda a general idea of what i might vibe with.

friends: pretty classic stuff, despite clive's overall demeanor he's a pretty friendly guy. he gets along with a lot of people with different backgrounds. he's not exactly the most fun person, but he's... trying? sort of? he just kind of doesn't know how to be a normal person after being dehumanized for so long. nevertheless he does make a good friend and being friends means he's willing to put his life on the line for you!! this can also include being sparring buddies with him bc he's usually training a lot to keep his skills sharp. but really he just needs people to hang out with and maybe they can teach him how to loosen up a little

enemies: he's learned to be mostly patient buuut he's got a short-fuse and can be hot-tempered at times. he just doesn't have a lot of time for bullshit and has no tolerance for it. anyone looking to harm innocent people tend to go on his shit list pretty fast, and anyone who wants to hurt his loved ones will have the worst time with him. he's ruthless :)

not really enemies but you've annoyed him: again, short-fuse sometimes and has little tolerance for bullshit. he won't have the want to kill you but expect sarcasm and the negative sims emote.

animal lovers: clive spent most of his time with his dog or his chocobo as a kid and has a better connection with them. he's the only one who can speak to moogles in his world. he's basically a disney princess. if u like animals then he'll get along with u and if u like torgal then he'll rly get along with u! please show him ur pets too he will pet every single dog ever.

knights / other duty bound folks: clive has an odd relationship with his status as first shield, mainly because he really only took the role on to protect his brother. still, he takes pride in it and puts his duty before a lot of things. it would be interesting for him to see what people see when they look at him, but also find some kinship with people like him!

religious themes: clive was unfortunately fated to be some corrupt god's vessel and he really hates it! he's not exactly a religious person at all and has an odd history and feelings with religion because of that. he's tolerant of course but it's easy to understand why he's not exactly a faithful man, so it would be interesting for him to bounce off of characters opposite of him!

big brother / father figure: clive's got big bro instincts so he's pretty protective over younger characters. he can be slightly awkward with them because a lot of the times they're very playful and he's just, not really, but he's definitely got that cool big bro / wisely father kind of vibe! he's got years of experience and could give sound advice. really he just wants to look after people.

wife guys: anyone else miss their wives / spouse. he misses his all the time even tho she's on speed dial.

other: something else??? just let me know :3

[moon-ruled-rising]

20 Questions Writer Meme

Thanks for the tag @arielchelby

1: How many works do you have on Ao3?

Fifteen. Mostly Game of Thrones, but there's a Marvel one that's been on hiatus for years.

2: What's your total Ao3 word count?

319, 336.

3: What fandoms do you write for?

Predominately Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire but I have one Marvel one and I had two Stars Wars WIPs that got recycled. I also have an "original work" inspired by the TTRPG my friends and I were playing before our friend group fell apart, so that one might not get finished.

4: What are your top five fics by kudos?

— as the rain hides the stars

— begged and borrowed time

—Journey to the Past (surprisingly)

—Baby, Please Come Home

—your eyes shine brighter in the north

5: Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to. I don't normally comment on fics I read to begin with. (I know, I know, shame shame shame.) Sometimes I get a burst of energy to do it but sometimes I just don't know how to reply but I'm working on it because I love discussing my fics and interacting with readers.

6: What's the fic you wrote that has the angstiest ending?

... no comment because spoilers.

7: What's the fic you wrote that has the happiest ending?

The Glass Dagger and the Winter Rose with A Christmas Coincidence in a close second.

8: Do you get hate on fics?

When I first started writing more angst heavy stuff it wasn't received well. I was younger and not used to so much negative attention. Suffice to say, I lost the idgaf war. Now, not so much. I will get a rogue commenter every now and again with strong opinions about something I wrote— especially if I was trying something... experimental, I guess.

9: Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do write smut. I've done explicit stuff but, as I've voiced recently, I'm not super into writing it. I live in the land of flowery prose and abstracts. Explicit smut is so focused on physical that I haven't found a way to blend the two so it slows me down and, as an Aries, I hate being slowed down. I will, however, write explicit material if it's porn with plot. My non-explicit stuff leans more... metaphysical, if that makes sense?? I guess you'll just have to read sad beautiful tragic and let me know.

10: Do you write crossovers?

Fusion, yes. Remixes, yes. There is a Game of Thrones/Marvel crack fic sitting in my random WIPs folder that might see the light of day but other than that, not really.

11: Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. I don't think I'm popular enough for that ... wait... I think that makes me a bigger target...

12: Have you ever had a fic translated?

No but I am open to it.

13: Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. I've tried co-writing before but I always turn into that meme of Tyler the Creator: "Oh my God, can you let me do what I need to do." I'm not too great at collabs.

14: What's your all-time favorite ship?

Jonerys, hands down. But I'm also partial to Obidala. Controversial, I know, but it intrigues me.

15: What's a WIP you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

*Sighs* My Marvel one. The idea has been in my head since 2015 and I would love to finish it but I fell out of love with Marvel after Endgame so it takes a lot to get myself to work on it. Although, with the resurgence of 2012 Avenger's Tower fics... who knows.

16: What are you writing strengths?

Honestly, I have no freaking clue. I think I'm good at extended metaphors and plot. Maybe prose but it sometimes gets away from me. I used to be really strong at dialogue but now it's hit or miss.

17: What are you writing weaknesses?

Characterization and emotions. I'm autistic, you do the math.

18: Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

If it's plot relevant: yes. That won't stop me from doing Valyrian translations for fun.

19: First fandom you wrote for?

... ... ... rise of the brave tangled guardians... or was it Supernatural.... *buries face in hands and turns beet red despite the fact that none of those fics saw the light of day* But first fandom I wrote for and posted was... oh, I think it was Game of Thrones... or was it Supernatural...

20: Favorite fic you've written?

How could you ask me that? That's like asking a parent to chose their favori— begged and borrowed time, it's begged and borrowed time. It's my first time "bowling" (i set up the plot points and watch my characters knock them down and do their own thing) and I just have so much fun writing it and playing in the little canon divergent world I created.

As per usual, I leave this open to anyone who wants to join! Just a reminder that all fics linked in this post are only visible to registered users to prevent AI scraping, thank you in advance for your understanding!

[unknown-uno]

Okay Fun Fact. I was going to do this in tags but I think tumblr may throw a boot at my head for that because there is SO much discuss here-!! So onwards! *Nods* Utter top TIER interaction Arthur and Sean have!! So 👏imagining g/t shenanigans with the two and Arthur's reaction to finding his annoying VERY LITTLE brother like this [fdsasdfds] my brain is a COMPLETE buzz. AND THAT WAS ONLY THE FIRST PARAGRAPH!! (Can't see it, but the biggest most dumbest smile is upon my face reading about Sean nagging over Arthur's hygiene golly what irony <3) And NOW my brain is VIOLENTLY VIBRATING [Positively] over these potential encounters!!⁽⁽`o(≧ᗜ≦)o´⁾⁾ Reading "Bill" made me personally concerned for a second BUT at the same time he seems friendly enough towards Sean! (Welcomes him back happily and feels guilty after- ANYHOW!! That sure indeed does sound like an interesting scene!!) Though part of me believes Bill doesn't have the most gentle touch and Sean has to frequently remind him to loosen his grip his lungs need AIR for gods sake what the hell is he playing at here!?>:/ [Edit: looks like my concern was warranted YEAH do not blame Sean for not trusting Bill with his current vulnerability] We've got such hot headed characters like Bill with such a hair trigger temper and violent nature...NOW LETS GO TO THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF THAT SCALE BECAUSE MY GOD L E N N Y (& Kieran) When it comes to folks stumbling upon this poor guy's predicament, they'd be no one more respectful and careful about this situation than Lenny! (Bonus points these two are such good friends in game which I'm sure would ease Sean ♥) Perhaps a slight tease or two, but that's it - I know we've discussed this prior, but after the initial learning of Sean's shrunken state, Lenny doesn't treat him any different to how he was before, has him on his shoulder while they chat just like they would any other day and that sure is sweet to think about I love these two! Kieran :D I like to think even though Sean is no bigger than his thumb he's still scared/intimidated by him [asdfdsasd]! I doubt Sean would be thrilled to be held and helped by an O'Driscoll of all things, BUT YES!! Is very aware this fella won't hurt him (heck who knows, maybe warms up to the guy more after he tries to help him out) AND COURSE-! MARY-BETH AND TILLY-!!👏👏 My brain can't help but picture Mary-Beth so speechless with pure wonderment, in complete awe having the fantasy and magic from her books NOW in reality (Lord I can just see her trying to theorize how this all happened, was it a wizard? Witch? Did Sean anger a group of fairies??:0) He'd be safe with these two for sure! And most likely fussed over asdfdsdf- WHEN YOU SAY INTERESTING MY GOODNESS YOU WEREN'T KIDDING <3 Jack's a really sweet kid, however that's just it! A kid annd that fact alone can make this encounter so utterly unpredictable, could go good could go bad WHO'S TO KNOW WHO'S TO SAY (But I'll tell you now that concept right there has me so deep in thought and I have no idea what the outcome would be, a true utter brain scratch and that's what makes it such a intriguing idea!>:33) I've rambled a bunch, but I gotta say love how Hosea is in the middle category [The man intimidates Sean in general and now having him be 50x taller than him I don't think Sean's heart could take it-], BUT trusts more than Dutch if I'm reading this list correctly [asdfds] [Fair enough of course!! Despite Sean's fear of the guy Hosea does care about him! Plus I feel like Dutch would be trying to plan ways on how to use Sean's size and get him to sneak into places they can't reach -n-]

IT BE A SIN NOT TO MENTION JOHN!! [asdfdsdf] I adore the idea of these two having this feudal relationship (Such a missed opportunity there really Rockstar) And the last thing he wants is John finding him so small after what happened 'xD freakin ducks and hides behind anything near by or in pockets while telling whomever he's with that he's NOT here- (Bet if John does find him though his ass is getting dangled by his leg and yelled at/lectured for 20 minutes-xD)

If Sean was tiny who do you picture to be the first member of the Van der linde gang to find him?

If it's the first person that comes to mind, Arthur probably. I think their interactions are top tier & generally Sean would trust him with his life (he has been saved by Arthur before, after all.) would probably nag Arthur (jokingly) to wash his filthy outlaw hands EVEN THOUGH Sean isn't exactly a squeaky clean boy himself lmao.

Others that come to mind are Bill, Lenny, Kieran, Mary-Beth, Tilly, and Jack. Just cause I think they'd all be interesting characters to be the first one to happen upon tiny!Sean.

Now as for who he would trust? Characters he would want to call out for help to? Lenny, Arthur, Tilly, Mary-Beth, Charles, Karen would be at the top of the list, people he'd trust with his life, though I do think he'd be a bit afraid of Karen.

Next Hosea, Dutch, Kieran, Pearson, Abigail, Uncle. (He may have something against Kieran at first, but I think he knows Kieran wouldn't hurt him. Plus he warms up to him and tries to understand him later in the game so I think he'd be more willing.)

Then Javier, Sadie, Grimshaw, Trelawny, John, Jack.

(I do think he'd joke a bit self-deprecatingly about being seen as one of little Jackie's toys hehe. But also the thought of tiny!Sean with Jack 🥺 tiny uncle. Sean and Jack is one of my favorite character dynamics. Also Javier as a character is very hard to read. I think Sean would be afraid of him while small. I also think he loves John like a brother but in my mind the two have a feudal relationship going on & he sees John as dumb like Arthur does, probably assumes John will use this as an opportunity to get back at him for something he did *cough* John's tent *cough*)

He would actively avoid characters such as Bill, Micah, Strauss, Swanson. These are characters he just wouldn't trust at all with his vulnerability. Wouldn't trust Joe and Cleet at all either even though they don't come in until chapter 6.

(P.S. you know if Darragh was still alive he'd be #1, Sean would leap into that man's hands you know he would. Tiny son 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺)

Of course these are just my opinions!! But it's kinda fun ranking them in terms of "who would tiny!Sean be most likely to go to for help." Hope I'm not missing any characters

Thanks for the ask!

-> 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐲:

Your lil' sibling loved Freddy, big surprise. So you actively have to interact with the bear bot and he just falls for your wits and how smart you seem. Especially of how highly your sibling speaks of you.

Of course your cover up -your sibling- rambles on about how cool you are to Freddy and that you're a detective. Solving dangerous crimes and catching criminals

Freddy is... A little irked. Isn't that a dangerous job? Do you have a lot of enemies? Dear god, you need something done about that.

That's when his yandere side gets triggered.

Next time you come up to pick your sleeping sibling from Freddy he just:

"Miss [Y/N], I have a very important matter to discuss with you."

Freddy seems so genuinely concerned that you just wonder if your little sibling has something wrong with them. Or broke something super expensive.

Instead you just end up wanting to smack them the second you arrive home because of what they revealed to Freddy.

You knew the mascot of the company would be trying to stop you, possibly tell the higher ups but... It's weird because you're not banned from entering the pizzaplex anymore as every other public detective was, Freddy is just worried.

"Are you going to investigate today as well? [Y/N], I told you it's a dangerous job..."

Freddy got you to spend time with them instead a few times.

You knew the Glamrock Animatronics had a reputation for being somewhat sentient from their complex personality database but this is way beyond line.

And when you kept refusing, even threatening to never come visit him again Freddy dropped it...

Then in a split second you happened to fall unconscious.

You've gone through a lot of things but this was something even you didn't see coming; an animatronics caring for you to this extent.

Even after a somewhat successful first attempt at escape Freddy upped the security by several levels.

"I've explained it thoroughly superstar, such a dangerous job isn't fit for you... Sometimes it's better to leave secrets in the dark."

-> 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩:

Imma be real, Sun couldn't give two fucks about what you work as. You're a detective? Super cool from the drawings he's shown by the kids.

Sun's seen some kids draw detectives and explain what they do so he applauds you for being super smart and intuitive.

No idea that detectives aren't allowed in the Pizzaplex and honestly, he doesn't care. He got a new friend!

What he doesn't like is that you spend so little time with him, what? Just so you could go around chasing unimportant people around and getting hurt?

"You have to leave today again? Try the other attractions? But those are boring!"

Okay I take it back, realizing that you could get targeted during your work hours made Sun even more anxious.

Hasn't let you step past the daycare many times.

"Come on miss [Y/N]! Play with me and the kids! Your sibling says you have so many amazing stories and adventures to share."

You get surrounded by kids and get trapped.

Worst of all, your sibling wants to keep coming back here since Sun pays him special attention because of you.

You tell Sun to knock it off but just end up annoying him further because you're not paying attention to him.

Sun gets angry, and you know what happens when he gets angry? You get to fight a nearly 10 ft tall animatronic that's supposed to play with kids.

Fight is a generous word, even though you immediately started throwing hands you get knocked tf out the second Sun lays his hands on you.

"You just DON'T listen, do you sunshine? Then you deserve to be put in timeout."

Forget about the missing kids, you're literally kidnapped by a bot who's in love with you.

But Sundrop reverts back to acting happy most of the time now. You can just pay attention to him.

... And yes, he WILL use your sibling's safety against you.

"Now you can only pay attention to me sunshine, if you don't there will be consequences."

-> 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩:

Now imagine the kids are napping so you try to run off, and then you meet Moon. You aren't leaving.

Unlike Sun who doesn't care and Freddy who's just worried, Moon WILL use the fact you're a detective to basically blackmail you into doing what he wants.

... Which isn't a lot, Moon just enjoys teasing you and seeing you in fear and panic.

"What are you doing starlight? I think I already explained what will happen if you try to leave."

He's gonna put you to nap with the kids against your will. You're being treated like a child, knowingly from Moon's part too.

"If you keep running around and playing like that you'll get hurt, what if you bother the owner of the place and get them angry?"

Honestly he's just doing it to annoy you, Moon does like your presence, he really does like -to own- you, he just doesn't know how to properly ask you to stay with him -because you'd definitely say no- so he blackmails you to it.

When you actually end up making him mad you find yourself asleep immediately after being forced to swallow a moondrop.

You would sue, except for the fact the company doesn't give a shit and they've said they don't have cameras in the daycare.

You don't want to make too much of a big thing and end up getting banned. You have a case to solve.

When you return for one final time Moon will take the hint that you're getting fed up and will quickly try to abduct you.

You're running and hiding while a robot is actively looking for you.

When Moon finds you and he WILL, you'll end up in a tightly secured place, there's no use escaping when Moon designed this specifically for you so you can't use your skills to escape.

"Play nice now starlight, if you do something drastic who knows what will happen to your sibling?"
