I doubt any of you want to know but I love talking about them so-

Eclipse’s version (I’ll do Chai’s on my art account.)

Any variation of “I’m fine” or “it’s fine”

Basically never. They’re/we’re SHIT at verbal affection.

Also practically never, unless around either their world’s family or the bloodpack.

Childcare.

Yes. They don’t think of anything. They just can. Their human form is small and pathetic looking, they use it for pity. (I do. I’m tiny. I look young. It’s so so so easy to get idiots in trouble.)

Favourite show: ever after high. They will never mention this. Ever.

Fuckshit. Probably. Or just “GET YO ASS OVER HERE.” With their gf…… the SpongeBob theme. Eclipse is still childish at heart.

There’s actually a list.

Nothing= anon

Friend= distant.

Name = talked once or twice.

Nickname= close

Hun/bud/pal/pet names= family or extremely close. Or if they’re concerned.

It depends on the situation. It’s a weird mix. They can be very rough, but they’re usually gentle at the same time.

Random facts about mental states. Usually things that make people feel better. (Ie; fun fact, you’re face is distorted through your eyes, so how you see yourself isn’t what other people see.)

Trust me. You’ll tell. (They’re already behind them.)

People being dumb. Or people trying to insult them. (Please. Try to. It’s hilarious.)

Always. I don’t think they know how to smile naturally at this point.

With their finger. Or hand.

Home: kinda dull, calm. Work: silent, disassociated. Friends: HYPER. ABABABA. MISCHIEF. PRANKS. alone: no facial expression.

Idiots.

Memories. Others, idk.

Luna. Believe it or not, but their version of lunar is almost MORE psychopathic than them…

Panic. Not because of the person, but because they’re trapped. (One, that shouldn’t be possible. two, agoraphobia.)

1:Unknown. 2: the astals. Specifically the higher ups.

Uhh.. eye contact, I guess. They’re fine with it, but they know others aren’t.

Hilariously, normal work hours. And taking breaks.

OHHH BOY LET ME TELL YOU- (reminder: luna is a ghost.)

Bold of you to assume they only took one.

Uhh.. random facts from plants and animals to history to cooking. They’re 600+, they’ve had a LOT OF FREETIME.

Laughter.

A “dont do drugs” pencil. Responded with heavy laughter.

A break. I pled the fifth (death.)

“Your funeral”

Heavily different because of the topic of their work. Personal= eh whatever. Work= oh fuck oh shit

.. seeing luna happy actually causes the most guilt.

MONEY PRINTING. WHO NEEDS A JOB WHEN YOURE GOD?

Silence and a glare

Family/not super close friends/people who look up to them: very calm but visibly happy. Close friends/people close to them/people who don’t necessarily hold them highly: ABBABABABABABAB

…so…many

Tartarus. “Can’t kill him yet. He still has use.” But DAMN DO THEY WANT TO. (Tar is a corrupt ass in their au btw.)

Actually nothing serious. Like… nothing. Besides secrets others have told them.

Hahehakfjkwnf. One that I have. Juggling.

Excluded. They hate having people include them just for pity. Though that’s if they know. (Same philosophy as me. Just being invited is enough. Even if I can’t come or I don’t have to actively participate.)

Depends. If the person looks annoyed it’s “what an ass.” If they look neutral or uncomfortable, it’s quickly “are they okay?” or “am I too imposing?”

Unknown at the moment.

Guilt and tragedy coping. Self explanatory

They’re quick to assume people being uncomfortable or afraid is because of them. They will not mention this.

Any. Since built in language processors, but probably Spanish since is such a direct translation language.

Shoes/socks in the house. What’s the fucking point. Take em off.

Listener. Make them talk? They’re autistic. You. Will. know.

EVERYONE FROM THIER ORIGINAL WORLD. EVERYONE. they either are still on the “glad they’re dead” bandwagon or the “holy shit he(moon) killed a mostly innocent dude.” Wagon.

Girlfriend. Friends. Family. Literally anyone they know. Hey, who coulda guessed, the person grappling with their past is a people pleaser!!

Nope. Politely decline

Hhhhhh….. past morals I guess? The old belief of corporeal punishment? (they don’t now.)

“Hun” when they’re concerned.

Self explanatory (mod is a lawyer…. Eclipse is at heart..)

The blood pack or their gf. (Too much shit has happened for them to NOT believe the pack. They’re safety is top priority)

Freeze to fight in normal situations. Straight to fight in dangerous situations. Freeze to “JEESUS” in safe situations.”

Destroying worlds. It’s their job, sure, but they’d much rather stop what’s CAUSING it.

Gf usually. But she’s back on the “hub world” so probably no one.

Eating. Sleeping. Drinking…. Self care.

ALL OF THEM.

Ok so obv it's not ok to sacrifice a blemished calf but the blemish is just on the eyelid? So maybe it's ok? But also and i don't want people to start going around thinking that it's ok to sacrifice blemished animals. But the thing is that if i don't bar Kamtza will tell the Romans we insulted them and that will be bad probably. And like no one likes bar Kamtza anyway will people really miss him..... but ugh neither of these seem like good things to do i don't feel like it's my place to make a decision about this :/

xianyun’s story quest cutscene was so so beautiful, the visuals, the message, reconnecting us to the traveler and their emotions like i’m just in awe of how much genshin has stepped it up lately omg

#genshin impact #xianyun #gi xianyun #xianyun story quest #genshin spoilers #cloud retainer #xianyun story quest spoilers #im actually going crazy what a GOOD story quest oh my god #i think they balanced it a lot better than some of the others too #the npcs were actually interesting with a good story #but they still managed to keep cloud retainer a BIG focus which i loved #ive been so much happier with the newer story quests compared to some of the old ones #feel like they’re really hitting a stride with it #and the animations are just getting better and better like oh my god #that was absolutely stunning #and im SO glad they took the time to remind us of the traveler and their actual goal and emotions #it felt so absent in fontaine to me #so ive been feeling a bit disconnected from you know the MAIN PLOT lol #honestly this quest alone did wonders #you really can get your audience re-engaged with even the slightest thing

Don't you love it when you get back into your childhood hyper-fixation that you remember very fondly as an adult and realize how fucking depressing the actual story is now that you have the capacity to understand it beyond cool fighting and characters, humor, and awesome friendships?

#bleach #ichigo kurosaki #bleach 686 #every analysis I see makes me more and more upset #why does literally everyone in this story suck #how did Kubo make such dynamic characters only to slowly crush their souls more and more until we get the most unsatisfying ending EVER #I keep trying to get back into the manga/anime but I feel like a pit forms in my stomach every time I try to #I love the characters dearly but oh my god #the relationships and the way most of the characters interact just grates at my nerves #like every few months I'll read like twenty chapter of the manga #get back into the fandom #read some analysis #and then I'll start dislking it all over again #I need a happy ending #i need a better ending #please Kubo #I need the hell arc to completely dismantle the soul society and the whole world as they know it #I NEED CHANGE #I hate the regressing and stagnation of the soul society #I need them to be overthrown #I need the characters I love to become antagonists all over again #I need Ichigo to be enemies with the soul society again #i need rebellion #I need the soul society to be the greatest evil again because in the end #they are the source of nearly ALL the problems Ichigo and co. face in canon #I'm so tired of them being the lesser evil #I need them to fall apart #I need the characters to have genuinely good endings where they are happy rather than regressing back into the people they were at the star #of the story or even worse turning into the ppl they had sworn they would never become

Saw the season 2 leak drama going on in Hazbin and, honestly, glad I'm not in the fandom anymore because I would have been even MORE annoyed at the writing and the way information is paced/revealed

(No I will not be sharing spoilers on any of my socials nor will I make an indepth post on them. I respect that some fans of Hazbin are genuinely upset at what I think is the entire second season being leaked, which you have a right to be. If you want to avoid leaks stay off Twitter, that seems to be where the majority of leaks are)

#Like oh my god the way these people fucking reveal some information is just...#WHY WAS IT NOT ESTABLISHED IN SEASON 1???#Some bits I get #But oh my god some of the stuff shown in the leaks would have been so much better in season 1 #Ya know #The season which is supposed to establish the characters of the show and make us care for them #If anything this is just sad #As much as I hate the writing of this show I feel for you Hazbin fans #The ones who are just trying to enjoy an animated show #You guys can't catch a break with this fandom and I feel for you #If you want to avoid leaks stay off Twitter that's where they all seem to be rn

weird mood of the day: having one (1) cup of coffee and experiencing what you suddenly realise is what it must be like to have a regulated nervous system

#oh my god. it's so quiet in here.#i'm starting to understand why people with ''normal'' nervous systems don't get why we're always so stressed out #if my mind was like this all the time i wouldn't get it either #really puts their ''idk i just get up and do stuff??? it's not hard????'' commentary in perspective #also unpleasantly puts my everyday ''wow everything is Extremely Difficult for some reason'' mode into perspective :/#it's a miracle i ever get anything done at all. living life on dark souls difficulty and other people are livin like... idk... sdv #actually sdv is also stressful to me. video game tasks are only fun when they're not like real-life tasks. then it's just Too Real #(this is also why i don't play animal crossing. a game where roaches invade your house if you neglect it? no thanks.)#unfortunately! anxiety is trying to sneak in the back door with ''better not waste this temporary reprieve! do something useful!''#shut the fuck up. shut up!!!! my GOD

sometimes you see a bad tweet and it makes you upset all day but you cant interact with it in any way because then twitter will just be encouraged to show you more bad tweets. but it did ruin my whole fucking day

#anime life #the tweet was something like #'MAYBE when trans women talk about how bad testosterone is its because of their own trauma #and its not about trans men because literally nobody was talking about you guys oh my god'#like... ok...?#but trans men can still HEAR you tho....#i don't think its fair to act like trans men are self obsessed professional victims or whatever just because you said something shitty #like yes it's from your trauma and not about trans men but. yknow.#if i post about how ugly my fat body is #just because its coming from a place of trauma and societal abuse doesnt mean my comments don't hurt the other fat people who hear it #anyway i think part of why it's stuck with me all day is because it made me feel so sad #sometimes it feels like no one cares about me but me yknow?#like no one cares about trans mascs but other trans mascs #and no one cares about fat people but other fat people #and no one cares about disabled people but other disabled people #i KNOW that isn't true!!!#factually that is false #but sometimes it really feels like people only care about me in as much as they care about telling me i better not start thinking i matter #as much as they do (people whose lives and problems and societal marginalizations ACTUALLY matter)#and then if you try to talk about your problems to explain how theyre real you just get made fun of #oh well. time to get under my weighted blanket and get real small #and try not to get entirely black pilled by the world lol

okay what’s up with the good wife out of all the media you reblog this is the most random one ?

it's not RANDOM omg that is a top three rewatch show to me... I love my silly little lawyers.... perfect mix of fun week to week cases, excellent side characters, interpersonal mess between the main cast, plus all the ways they'd imaginatively tackle Current Events. the good fight had a similar appeal - minus the focus on week to week cases and plus far more explicit politics. didn't always work, but it's one of those shows where I just kind of appreciated how willing they were to take a swing at it and get a bit weird about it. even in the good wife, they had so many Good Bits... the nsa agents who were super invested in the main cast's relationships, the liberal judge with all his Causes, the wife killer, LOUIS CANNING!! obviously, the 'in your opinion' lady, the google guy... also this is from the good fight but the federal investigator lady who always had the birds fly against her office window was a+ plus, it's such a dumb bit but it got me every time as a great appreciator of dumb bits. such a corny pair of shows that are very much like,, About Liberalism and a reckoning with that entire era of american life from an unabashedly liberal perspective, with all the inherent pitfalls and shortcomings of that pov... but does consistently manage to do interesting stuff with that starting point. a lawyer show that's also a bit of an autopsy of a mostly dead vision of america, kinda all you need sometimes

and I love alicia and will, my tragic heterosexuals!! the forbidden love of it all!! I love how cruel and selfish alicia was a lot of the time and how she's mostly in control of that relationship even though will SHOULD be the one in the position of power, how she's constantly using him and then pushing him away while will is so obviously besotted, how she simply keeps finding excuses to stop herself from being happy... does she even love him at all or does she just like him in theory, does she just want to be desired... how they always have 'bad timing' and just cannot figure their shit out... "it's romantic because it didn't happen".... "my plan is I love you" the unapologetic melodrama of it all!! the deleted voice message is?? crazy?? (eli goated character btw, the cheese lobby episode is still one of my favourite episodes of anything ever.) that lift scene is peak romance... when she leaves the firm and he feels so betrayed... his tantrum!! "I took you in when nobody wanted you"!! "you were POISON"!! "you're awful and you don't even know how awful you are"!! he's so pathetic and angry for half a season that he's resorting to just arguing with her in his head!!! always with their failed communications via phone and lift doors and loaded gazes across office spaces and delicate finger touches... the romance of it all, how they really could have worked but it's also so glaringly obvious why they kept falling apart... in the end all these repressed losers create their own misery... elite

#i know it may sometimes not seem like that on tumblr dot com but i do occasionally engage with cultural properties that aren't anime #we have the dvd boxsets back home and invariably when my mum and i can't think of a show to watch together #we fall back on 'hey let's rewatch some good wife episodes'#anyway my mum is right there with me on the 'oh my GOD leave your shitty husband' train. her kids would've been better off!!#big show for mother daughter relationships that are in enlightened agreement on the 'sometimes parents separating is Good Actually' issue #if i were the florrick children i would have simply never spoken to peter again. rip to them but i'm different #//#batsplat responds #simmering heterosexual tension for four and a half seasons only for it all to end in tragedy... that's what it's all about #also obviously kalinda was just fully in love with alicia. like that's just canon #i love rotating will/alicia/kalinda around in my head. in a very odd way i guess i do similar things to it as with faith/buffy/spike #to me the perfect dynamic is tragic heterosexual pairing + obsessive lesbian angle. god knows why. nobody psychoanalyse this #will performs such a shallow version of masculinity while being narratively so thoroughly emasculated... relatable icon #constantly doing his sad wet eyes at alicia oh he'd do anything for that lady... i get him i fear #oh to be a corrupt dirtbag lawyer who will do anything to get the unhappily married love of his life back into his world

diavolo would like my little pony me thinks

i feel like he'd appreciate the lessons at the end of each episode :3

you're so right.... he'd be mentally taking notes and everything, talks to ik about it "you know, if everyone just learnt these lessons, i'm sure it'd take much less time to reach peace between the three worlds :D"

realistically ik probably shows it to him, but i think it's so much funnier if he somehow got a hold of it himself before he even started the exchange program. one day he mentions it to ik and she's like (double-take) "YOU'VE WATCHED WHAT"

#answering asks #valenrien #who do you think his favourite character would be... i feel like there's an argument to be made for all of them #but i think diavolo is a bit of a basic guy when it comes to this so i think he'd just pick twilight #also i'm not super knowledgeable on mlp but i think rainbow dash and mammon would mesh well #plus rarity and asmo and probably applejack and beel #oh my god you know what i just remembered. that rainbow factory song #specically this one 3d animation of it where the pony gets her colours drained or smth and then Crushed #i feel like ik would've watched it when she was like ten and just assumes it's common knowledge #she mentions it to diavolo and he's like WHAT??? THEY DO WHAT????????#against her better judgement ik shows him the video and he's inconsolable for three hours

when i was younger and hung out around my uncle a lot more than i do now, i remember whenever he referred to things regarding his native heritage, he always just called it "indian". called himself an indian, called the words he taught us indian, so on. since i was a little kid who didn't know any better, i didn't know that "indian" in the context of indigenous americans was a very broad, frankly bastardized term to paint a vast variety of cultures spanning two whole damn continents with one brush. it only occurred to me as i got much older than i was at the time that there'd be more than one "indian" language, and up until now since i had no idea what tribe(s) he even is i couldn't even begin to know where to look unless i found a download of every goddamn interlingual dictionary available and painstakingly checked every godddamn one for what their word for "thunder" is

the word he taught us meant thunder was hiloha. i didn't even know how to spell it until now, because he only ever said it aloud. literally just a few minutes ago, i decided to ask my grandma (his sister) if we knew what tribe(s) he belonged to. and apparently he's a mix of choctaw and makah. which gave me a lead, which led to me finding a dictionary on libgen, which led to me word searching "thunder" in the choctaw to english dictionary. it's the only word i remember him teaching us, and i'm unsure if he ever tried teaching us others. but it was his dogs name, and he was a damn good boy, so i remembered it clear as day. though, they normally shortened it to "hilo".

so, i guess what came out of this is that i now know a bit more about my uncle's heritage, and where to look for more research. so, if you're gonna have a takeaway from this, i'd appreciate it if you remembered the word "hiloha". it means thunder. and aside from being the name of a very good boy who deserves to be remembered, i think it's even more important to remember the histories, cultures, and of course the languages of all the indigenous folks who came before us and did their damndest to preserve their cultures in spite of it all.
