As we all know, the Maarer are using rune magic to mostly fight or at least as support. But when fighting you also get hurt, that is a fact.

Whilst writing chapter 4 I saw in my Maar lore doc that I didn't have a rune for healing - one of the most basic runes to have! So I scoured through the doc to see which rune didn't have any magical use yet to put as a healing rune. And I just can't decide which one to use!

The meaning behind it is what the symbol usually represenst in not only day to day life but also the values of the god they stand for. (I have yet to assign every god one or more runes and that will be in the far future lol.)

Also: Should I make a general post about all runes and which ones are actually used for magic?

What were suposed to be a simple drawing became quite complicated cause of the background, lol

Anyways, I love Hope, even though I haven't posted about him since his creation 3 months ago, lol. I have many ideas with him and want to do a small comic about his backstory; what lead him to give up godhood to roam the multiverse, helping people with their hopes and dreams with an optimistic view

[shimbosrcimblo]

Made around late 2023 to early 2034...

I feel shame everything i look at this

I remember being so passionate about this project

We were supose to make a lyric video for a song

In powerpoint

It was supose to be a group project but I wanted to do it on my own because I had a vision, so excited about it too

It was supose to be simple not anything compliant

I started doing it it was fine but I kept getting stuck on the small details and more ideas are appearing on my head on how the powerpoint should go, focused on the details on the first few slides

the deadline drew closer

They gave me an extention to finish it

The extended deadline drew closer but im still not finished, the assets are still unfinished and slides still bearen

I caved in and decided

They told me it was amazing and better than what anyone else has made

Detailed and intricate

While everyone else was pretty basic

A year has past

Then my computer broke

My drawings and assets for it are safe

But the powerpoint?

All the progress I made?

Was gone

2 years later, the thought of not finishing it haunted me

I feel like I not only disappointed my self

But also let my teacher down

I feel like I took advantage of that kindness and i felt shitty

I always intend on finishing it

I dont want to let go

I even attempted to do it against but the guilt won't pass, it won't let me but little by little I try to add to it even if its line by line and its better than nothing

I'm sorry if this seem very... all over the place

I'm not the most organized of people in fact I was jumping around in writing this post

(Does that even make sense?)

Anyways, there are even more assets than these drawings of SAYU although it's just an untextured and unfinished 3d model of her and her trident

As well as 2d background elements inspired by her boss fight's backdrop

Tldr: guilt over unfinished school project due to overambitiousness and lack of planning, still attempting to finish for closure

Reading this summery made me realize

Its a lesson and advise I here time and time again but i never seem to internalize it

This project wasn't the only one to follow the same path

unfortunately

But that vent is for another time

Or post

That is will probably get into

Probably

Some day

MY SPARKLECARE THEORY

The Number.

Y'all remember when the ZCP told us to not call the phone number Rem gives to Bright? You should not, I'm not sure if it's an actual number in real life; but if it happens to be, no one who's on the other side of the line will be happy.

To avoid curious viewers to obliterate someone's phone, what usually is done in media ever since in the 1960's in the U.S. and Canada is to have the phone number's central office code to be 555 as it's almost* guaranteed no civilian person will have such number for personal use or will link to any business. This only applies in the North American Numbering Plan of course.

Why didn't the ZCP use a 555 number then? They actually used one in the same volume, the phone number Lo dials to call the Citycountrytown Casting Agency is 555-2737.

What I get from this is that, if they didn't use a 555 number for the number at the end, it is because the numbers in it themselves carry some kind of information.

Cross on blue and yellow background.

Such symbol has appeared before in Volume 1, where we see a escaped patient having it on a sign, and in Volume 2, where it is held by a protestor. As Eve mentioned once in this ask, such symbol which also appears in the blog, website and other stuff is NOT the hospital's logo. Then of what or who?

An anti-Sparklecare group?

It is clear that this symbol as shown in these examples, represents a statement against Sparklecare. What I supose is that, because Kittycorn doesn't want to reveal any further information of the protestors seen in volume 2, they will be relevant in a future volume or series. If we link these clues together, perhaps this symbol doesn't just represent the movement in general, but a specific organized group against Sparklecare, making it their logo. Then this would make Rem part of it too, and so Rem then becomes a very important piece in the story, because she's the infiltrated secret agent in the hospital. Knowing how heavily implied Doctor Party is to be an ESPer, he surely knows about Rem's undercover identity and about this organized group. Perhaps he's part of it too, if so, then they have another great important character against Cuddles.

A cipher?

Going back to the phone number, if the numbers in it are important and relevant, perhaps a piece of code is ciphered in it. My first thought was A1Z26 cipher, a simple sustitution code in which each letter gets a number assigned, so A is 1, B is 2; and so on.

The first six digits of the phone number, if you read them as 1-14-20-9 and decipher them using A1Z26, you get the word ANTI; which I really doubt this is just a coincidence knowing how it is implied this phone number belongs to an ANTI Sparklecare group.

The other four tho: 2425, are not that obvious. The possible combinations readable in A1Z26 are 2-4-2-5 (BDBE), 2-4-25 (BDY), 24-2-5 (XBE), and 24-25 (XY).

The only idea that comes to my mind is A-N-T-I-B-D-Y which is one letter off from "antibody". An antibody is protein belonging to the inmune system which will find, target and neutralize foreign and so-possibly harming bodies such as harmful bacteria and viruses.

An antibody's job is to protect the human body from what will harm it, and these anthries's hope seems to be to protect the patients from receiving any more harm from such heartless medical industry.

But Imma be honest, the four last digits are quite an stretch to analyze and I'm starting to doubt if the ANTI is a coincidence.

*A footnote.

If you want to use a 555 number in your media, DO NOT put as area codes 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844 or 833 before them. These area codes are reserved for toll-free dial numbers, to which the 555 office code is valid; so you may actually write a real phone number that who knows where that will link to.

This was my face while reading Titans (2023) #18, if you even care.

Why was Raven acting like a child?? Like, i get it, she was more emotional bc the thing that happened before. But did her mental age regress to a five years old kid??? U know, u can be emocional without acting so infantile!!!

And Roy. What about your daughter?? You just moved with the titans e left your daughter (who was missing, to put it in simple terms) BEHIND?????

And the team as whole as is so disfunctional. Like, aren't you guys supose to be adults heros with years of experience in fight crime?

What was that excuse of a fight they had??? WHY WERE RAVEN AND ROY ACTING LIKE THAT?!?!?!?!

Urgh, not even ask me how i feel about dearthstroke being the big villain. Again.

To be honest, i liked the focus on Donna's struggles in leading the team. I think this issue would work if she was partnering with new heros. I think we have enough new untrained characthers to make a team and let her lead it. And we can see all her pains and doubts as a leader. I would love to see that. I would love to read a fun and fresh story about Donna Troy. But in what way can she teach to what may be the second best super hero team on earth?

[msbunnat]

So is Ganymedes relationship to Zeus Stockholm syndrome? like what exactly is it, is it abuse and coercion?

You will only found out their relationship in the comic u.u

But I will add: I dont belive in stockholm symdrome, this term is so fishy (like its not even a thing in psycology). And their relationship its not suposed to be so simple, that is why its a specific situation and I want to explore in a deep level so there is no easy simple answer. Both will be characters imperfect and do things mean to create questions in me and in anyone that wants to try give it a shot. Just stop trying to categorize something that isent even build yet u.u

I also think people have dificult to understand how relationships work... how a lot of them re messy and toxic and people can still feel happyness, but its dosent mean this erase any bad that cames from it... I never knew that it was to hard to understand that... (NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU ANON!! Just using this space to talk a lil).

[sins-cheotic-mess]

Spoilers for in stars and time act 3!!!

And sorry if my au has any cherecter odditys in the future, I havent finished isat yet, personally Im just at act 3, will update it as I go :3

So the au takes place in a very big number of loops, where Sif is stuck, not knowing what to do different anymore, theyve stopped going to loop for help.. and eventually loop stopped showing up, Siffrin got use to the predictable things in theyre every loop, he accepted that nothing would change anymore, but as the universe would have it, at the start of a tireing loop, Siffrin wished to the change god for change. Any. Change. The change god listened.. the Universe listend.. someone else listend. Siffrin felt a tug on theyre stomach and the smell of burnt sugar.. more intense then theyve ever smelled it. And the faint smell of...

They woke up on the grass, they dont understand what made them rewind this time.. they get up and may the "usual" loop start

SO THE AU, the premise of this au is simple, what if the loops were unstable? What if the loops didnt work correctly? What if. The loops didnt loop as theyre supose to? What if it ALL changed?

So yeah. You can probably imagine what type of cheos this little au will have, although this au will be heavily focused on Siffrin the party will almost always be present, Sif will have a pretty hard time, I hope you all will like to read about theyre mental state teehee

The more Siffrin loops, the more things will change the more things change, the less time Siffrin will have to find l-

One thing I havent decided yet is wether or not to make this Siffrin visit different aus(with permission), since the interactions would be intresting, for example, the Siffrin is out au, if this Siffrin joined them for one singular loop in the place of theyre Siffrin, they'd both have some comfort and Siffrin could learn some stuff they didnt know about themself, then what if they visited aus like the age swap au? Or the au where the god of change banishes Loop? So much could happon if only they were there for one sigular loop? So much pain, confusion and yet comfort and warmth from alternet versions of theyre party!

An easy way to know that the Siffrin in the au is the in stars and out of time one, would be a Star pin that they have on theyre outfit, they didnt evem notice they had it on...

Whelp, if youre intrested in the au, stay tuned as, as soon as I get my AO3 account up and running Ill be making a few chapters of the first loops before everything goes CRAZY AS CRAB!!! hehe, so if you dont want to follow(wich is ok) you can always follow this post to recive a notification when I reblog more info about the au or the AO3 story itself :]

Camomile pt.2 [Ghost x gn!Reader]

pt. 1, pt. 2, pt. 3, pt. 4, pt. 5, pt. 6, pt. 7, pt. 8, pt. 9, pt. 10

AN: This is getting serious !!!! I have an essay due Tuesday !!!!! I haven’t started !!!!!! Anyway. I have the worlds fattest crush on Price but I haven’t figured out how to write him yet. I’m sticking to Ghostie till I get it right. Onwards!!!!!

Synopsis: a short conversation between you and Ghost about tattoos – over a mug of camomile of course. Word count: 343 Warnings: none!! Ghost x gn!Reader: Not explicitly romantic but we’re getting there. Gotta ease into it lads. FLUFF!

Not proof-read xoxoxox

☆。*。☆。

“I like your tattoos.”

“Hm?”

You smile shyly at the lieutenant who sits across from you. He’s in a simple black t-shirt that hugs the upper part of his body, cutting off around the biceps. 

‘Your tattoos - they’re cool.”

Ghost looked down at his arm, as though he forgot he had them. “Oh, yeah. Thanks.”

“Got any more?”

He folds the corner of a page in his book, letting it shut gently. “Yeah, a couple, you?”

You nod, “A couple on my ribs, one on my thigh. Got them while I was at uni.”

“Ah,” he nods, “student loan spent well?”

You smile, “yeah, parents weren’t too happy.”

He hums, nodding, “yeah my captain at the time wasn’t either.”

You lean forward, resting your elbows on the table. This is the most he’s talked about himself since you started these casual late-night “tea-parties” a couple of weeks ago. 

“You got them while in the military?”

He nods, taking a sip of his tea, “yeah, they’re a lot stricter on cadets than special forces I ‘supose.”

You tap the side of your nose where a small silver ring sits snug on your right nostril. “Tell me about it. I had to wait till the 141 to get my nose pierced - I emailed Price after I signed my contract, he said yes and I got it done the next day.”

The man let out a short laugh, “I was wonderin’ about that.”

You grin into your tea. “Still healing three months on - missions aren’t really the ideal environment to heal a piercing.”

“Having regrets?”

“Nah,” you laugh, leaning back in your chair, “I reckon it suits me.”

The lieutenant looks at you a moment, steel blue eyes meeting yours. “It does.”

Red's characterization is frustratingly inconsistent (based on the viz translation)

So I tried to do a "Red centric" FS reading the other day and honestly:

Red as a character lowkey pisses me off the more I think about him.

Trying to write him doing ANYTHING in FSR just, breaks my brain because: What character does he actually HAVE?

To explain further: WHAT CHARACTERIZATION DOES HE HAVE THAT IS CONSISTANT?

Because I can list a fuck ton of his traits, but none that remain consistent and reliable character traits that I can make into a rule set for me to follow to write him properly and which rules I could BREAK depending on the scenario.

I'mma admit this rn: This might be extremally bad faith reading and I'll admit that with my whole chest but it just bugs me the further I try to think about characterizing him.

Buuuut on the other hand. Venting my frustrations might help me get a grasp on what he's MEANT to be like and that'd be useful.

TLDR: I genuinely think Akira has no fucking clue what they were doing with him and I think he's the worst written Link of the set of four/Shadow Link. (This admittedly could also fall hugely on the fault of the translation team too with botched dialogue.)

And I even hypothesis they cut a whole chapter about him for time. (We'll get to that)

Full rant:

Okay. So you'd think this idiot would be pretty simple to figure out.

There's a lil page dedicated to each Link describing their traits, which are all pretty accurate. (This to my knowledge i only in the legendary???)

EXCEPT IN MY OPINION, RED'S. (Green's too but maybe I'll get into Green at a later time...)

His is just. Wrong. Upfront wrong depending on how you read his character...Which...is imo inconsistent based on the canon events of the story.

Let's go down the list of traits from this page

Easygoing - this is accurate since he takes the mission the least bit seriously between the four and gives everyone silly nicknames.

Bright- ...I'm going to assume this is in reference to his personality being "Optimistic" not his intelligence, as we'll get into soon.

Innocent - ...I have some counter arguments to this one but go off I guess. He's SUPOSIVELY more innocent than the other 3.

Simpleminded - again there is a shit ton to suggest the opposite, but well, get into that shit.

So, depending on how you read the word "bright," there are already inconsistencies with "simple-minded" (I'm trying real damn hard not to be obtuse as fuck here but I'm a stickler for wording...)

So for the "innocent" thing...okay this one particularly rubs me the wrong damn way. Because of a few diffent things.

Let's go over smth first:

Identifying the links, you can always tell its red in a panel due to his even screen tone tunic and white sleeves.

Blue has a gradient that goes almost black with screen toned sleeves. Green also has an even screen tone but black sleeves, and Vio has a noise screentone with white sleeves.

Now, Red's "Innocence" or imo lack there of.

Now thought bubbles are hard to pin to anyone specific without like, tails to lead to characters. The fs manga is guilty of not having proper word bubbles often or pointing at the wrong damn character. But here were lead to think the one who assumed the knights were dead were Red and Green. Green starting the thought and red finishing it here.

Red is the first one willing to stab who they assume to be very close people to them. Green as we know is the one NOT willing to fight and rather just defend himself.

So much for "innocent"

Tangent time: I'm not unconvinced the screen tone artist didnt fuck up here, and this was meant to be Blue, but...uh that's not what it ended up being

It's hard to tell because the eyebrows could be either red or blues from my guess.

Until coloring the first volume of manga I ALWAYS ASSUMED this was Blue.

It's for sure not vio or green since their eyebrows are nearly always blonde/not filled in while Reds are thin but occasionally have a bit more thickness, especially when giving heavier expressions. And if this was meant to be Blue. It would be a bit on the thinner side but would match way more personality wise.

Further on the whole "innocence thing"

Wtf was all this shit

Like...I get it. It's for comedy haha. But it just feels so out of character for him this scene just ends up annoying me.

Like it makes him feel so fake. It makes ALL HIS PREVIOUS AND SCENES HERE ON OUT FEEL FAKE.

His tears feel so crocodile considering he doesn't cry when stabbing someone he assumes to be his friends and does THIS SHIT immediately after assuming blue is MAYBE DEAD???

Seriously I kind of hate this scene it feels so two-faced, out of character, and mean-spirited for no fucking reason.

I get it. It was a joke haha. But why the fuck is he joking around and being a goof when his response to green possibly being dead TWICE was to panic and cry and be terrified for real. Why am I meant to take one seriously and not the other from a character standpoint.

From a character stand point: it just feels like he gives less of a shit Blue is in danger/dying vs Green and considering later character interactions I don't think that's meant to be cannon/intentional. (He also calls out to green exclusively on occasions so like...Again was this on purpose or on accident...)

I'm just not a fan of writing characters shittily and out of character for the sake of comedy that doesn't even land.

From a character context: it just looks like he doesn't give a shit about blue here. Which, fine write him mad blue has been a dick but this feels like such the wrong way to go about it to me. Idk.

Onto his intelligence:

Imma be real it feels like he just is only smart when the writing needs him to be for plot reasons and not for characterization reasons.

His intelligence fluctuates so damn much it drives me insane. He's either dumb as a brick or literally smarter than vio, and there's no in-between or reason behind why. It's not like he's good at certain things and dumb as fuck at other things it's literally just because Akira pulls it out of their asses and said so and that kind of writing especially character based pisses me off. 😭

Examples of red being smart:

I don't have a problem with Red having intelligence of his own, but they had to give vio 1 functional brain cells for this scene to work the way it did. Like red can be smart, it'd be great if he was in some instances! It'd even make sense they're all dumb at some shit or excel at others. That'd make them a good well rounded team!

Vio randomly being shit at directions would be a hilarious character trait.

IS this why he gets lost in the tower of winds? Idk if that's a genuine intentional writing reason, but I'm going to assume/head cannon. Imma say that's why, for my own sanity and making this scene make any sense. But i shouldn't have to justify vio being an idiot here with head cannons.

I'd have loved for a scene where Vio over thinks to shit about smth and red is just like "lol the answer is just this silly" but red and vio literally never speak sooooo...thats off the table.

That almost feels like that's what this was trying to be but just...failed at.

He randomly grows a brain again in the temple of darkness. But it just feels so out of nowhere, considering how he's such an idiot most of the book. Like his competent moments, feel SO out of character in comparison.

Like I can see what I THINK they were trying to do with him but it just doesn't land. It just feels like he randomly grows a brain every so often instead of always having one but he he just lags behind the other three in terms of other contexts.

What i think they were going for is "red IS smart. He IS capable. He just needs to be in the right scenario for it to shine. He has such a unique mindset compared to the other three and hes a valuable team mate"

What it comes OFF as... is bad writing.

Onto his like "crybaby" persona the manga and the Fandom itself likes to fall back on

I've touched on it but it feels so fake.

Like I genuinely cannot tell if this is meant to be a character trait I second guess but it's thrown out the window all the damn time.

-him stabbing that one knight with no fucks given really

-him quickly getting over blue being frozen in lue of a stupid joke

Okay let's see when he DOES CRY...

Virtually all the damn time but here's smth I noticed:

He doesn't cry when shadow dies lmfao.

But he does when they kill random rock babies.

Yeah sorry but that rubs me the wrong way too.

Like Reds whole reaction and facial expressions to shadow dying just gives "I wonder if we're having Wendy's of McDonald's later"

Like I think most people are too distracted by vidow to notice that shit but it's so off-putting from a guy who will take the change to bust out the water works at any given change doesn't shed a damn tear when a version of himself kicks the damn bucket.

Not even a reaction to vio being upset about it. Like wtf.

This is what I mean about him being inconsistent. Literally the entire manga is just "He does x sometimes but not other times when you think he would" I genuinely cannot find rhyme or reason to half his character traits and it drives me up a wall. There's no consistency to ANY OF IT and it just leaves this sense of fakeness and it rubs me such the wrong way.

One last thing:

I'm pretty sure he had a cut chapter centered around Red.

I don't have concrete evidence but here's smth i noticed:

This is the last time we see him before his next apearance

And then...suddenly. THIS IS HIS NEXT APEARANCE:

I'm sorry WHAT.

DID WE MISS SOMETHING???

Randomly:

He has a fairy. They've apparently been looking for the other three. TELEPORTATION IS JUST A THING WITHOUT EXPLANATION???

Like, Wtf????

What my opinion?

And SUDDENLY later Red's all like "I'm so independent!😇 "

WHEN. WHEN DID WE SEE THAT RED BECASE IMEDIATELY AFTER YOUR TOWN SCUFFLE YOU'RE WITH A FAIRY AND GET BLUE SO STFU.

If you want what I THINK happened in this hypothetical cut:

Red got away from the towns people and ran into the fairy, and Shadow shape shifted out of being that kid that stole his shit.

Because like...I never knew that kid was meant to be shadow Link until someone pointed that out as a possibility because...Literally I thought Red having his sword and shield gone after he left the waterfall was an art error and not because of the kid.

Like the fact that is even up for debate whether or not that kid was shadow or it could be misinterpreted is a flaw in the writing imo but whatever.

Like it was never solidly conformed. There's evidence but it wasn't stated/shown directly and having the idea Shadow can shapeshift to THAT DEGREE is very interesting/cool lore. (We know he can look like green/Link but still. Would have been nice concrete powers around him he can be random ass people too and he's not bound to being just Link.)

If you think about it:

Green got the Pyramid segment

Vio gets the whole shadow link subplot

and Blue gets the temple of darkness.

Wtf does red get. He gets tacked on in the temple of darkness KIND OF but that felt like it was ONLY because he didn't get his own chapter and they had to mash Blue and Red's arcs together making both of their arcs WEAKER. And it just, annoys me idk.

Aaaaanywaaaay. That's my rambling nonsense.

I think with the idea of what they were TRYING TO DO with Red's character I can get a better grasp of where to take him in FSR.

It's so hard to describe why Red gives me "uncanny valley" vibe in his characterization but I hope I did a decent job explaining my thoughts.

You probably noticed: When smth about red doesn't make any fucking sense. I try to rationalize it. But I don't think there was any thought behind a lot of what he does. Which is why it makes me annoyed. 😭

Still of my Fairy Tail Kick(and NaLu kick for some reason), and I was rereading this comic series on Insta about a stray cat and a house cat[Sesame and Rice Cake] and poof this was born!

I made three different versions because I couldn't decide which I liked more.

Canon Colors:

Semi-Realistic Colors with Simple Patterns:

And

Semi-Realistic Colors with Semi-Realistic Patterns:

I tried my dang hardest, and I drew with my finger so like...give me a break. Probably try redoing this later but for now.

For anyone curious: Natsu is supose to be a Lilac colored classic tabby, and Lucy is suppose to be a Cream spotted tabby Turkish Angora.
