#and while this is still very much about his relationship with Jaiden

[feminetomboy]

Y'know what, I do love Spiderbit to pieces but I am actually very happy that Roier sorta backed away and told Cellbit that Bobby is his and Jaiden's son. Cellbit can very much be his step-dad! But it's him and Jaiden that went through all the love and grief together first.

[gz-missfit]

God the more I rewatch Etoiles fight the more it hurts. Hell the more I watch any parent fight their egg it hurts, from Max bawling over Trump to Quackity being basically insta killed by Tilin and Roiers anger as fake Bobby didn't attack them while Jaiden was filled with conflicting delusional happiness.

But especially this Etoiles fight yesterday puts the whole dinner into a much bigger perspective and I'd like to think that that's the reason why they put Phil in the fight with Etoiles.

They wanted him to hesitate.

They wanted Phil to be the burden during that fight because those things carry the names of his children, the children he'd burn the world down for. But they underestimated how strict Phil is with his trust and decision making to the point that even in egg form he treated them like they were monsters instead of his children.

Phil's special because while yes during Etoiles fight the code got better at adapting to an egg its still the same concept. He still had definite proof that that wasn't her but he still hesitated.

And I wanna go into the why of that, Phil's a hard-core player through and through and you will not get that out of his playstyle, you can see it on every multi-player server he's been on in the past because thats just how he plays the game. And as a hard-core player he probably has the most interesting relationship to mortality and is someone who can understand the eggs on a whole different level. But this means he's also INCREDIBLY aware of how much weight decision making carries and how even a single decision could decide over him staying alive or dying, he's used to that, it doesn't bother him anymore. That's why Phil is also someone who's very confident in his decisions, when he says he won't do or go to something because he knows the outcome then he means that and not even curiosity will get the better of him if he sees any form of danger or risk. If he tells Tallulah or Chayanne an instruction he expects them to follow it to a T because he gives those for good reasons each time (and both of his kids know that his instructions are teachings more than they are just him telling them to do something). And this confidence in his own decisions is why he fought those codes so relentlessly at the dinner, I'm convinced even if he hadn't gone back to get a picture of his kids he still would've fought these codes the same way. He trusts his experience and he trusts that he'll be able to deal with the consequences of his own decisions no matter if the outcome is good or bad. There's a reason why other players usually come to him for advice or when he spends time with someone he naturally falls into a teaching role, it's because he knows so much because he's had to know it all to survive in a world where death is inevitable.

Now why does that differ him from Etoiles? Well Him and Etoiles are good fighter's in their own ways. There's no doubt about that. But Etoiles is more upfront, he's smart during pvp and incredibly knowledgeable about statistics and strategy but ironically enough he still struggles to trust in his own words and decisions. He's someone who's quickly plagued by regret or doubts, it's why he praises Bad and Phil so much. Because both of them are incredibly headstrong and confident in their decisions just due to sheer experience. Etoiles just isn't even if his experience is just as good. And you can see this hesitancy even during the dinner fight, he didn't want to fight the codes until they hit him first. And it was Phil screaming to kill those things that made him set on actually attacking. Even when he got singled out later on and had a fake Tallulah follow him, he didn't attack until Phil confirmed Tallulah was safe with him. Etoiles trusts Bads and Phil's words a lot and holds them both in high regards when it comes to their opinions and decisions because he knows how much sheer experience those 2 carry. But during that fight yesterday he was alone, each of his actions couldn't be reassured because he was fighting alone and the actual Pomme wasn't there. He was terrified of making a wrong decision, even with Pierre reassuring him that it wasn't Pomme Etoiles couldn't bring himself to trust his own decision, even with their secret code not working Etoiles couldn't trust himself, even with seeing it carry the codes swords he couldn't trust himself. Even after the fight was over, after he saw Pommes bed with her sleeping tightly in it. He couldn't trust himself. He didn't feel like a winner to himself because his mind went into a spiral about of his decision was right or not, his mind screamed at him because he was sure he had fucked up royally and that's what makes it so interesting. Because Etoiles is a good fighter! And I'm pretty sure with equal gear he'd beat the 2 he holds in high regards to fighting skill a good amount. But he doesn't hold his own decision making very high, he's happy to be as help as a weapon that when he has to make a call he hesitates. And it didn't help that he had his daughters face stare at him while he had to make that important decision because while Phil loves his children just as much as Etoiles does, Phil never had to earn to be trusted with them. Phil's always been someone people trusted with the eggs while Etoiles had to earn his time with Pomme in promising he'll never let her die on his watch and will be careful beyond believe while he's with her.

It shows in the confidence of their decisions, and it's fascinating how much more it shows during these high tension moments. Etoiles is someone who struggles so much with the knowledge of failure and its what made his fight hurt so much more, because he was convinced he'd fucked up bad even after he saw her bed.

Just some food for thought about our codebreakers

[lostsoul1217]

You want to know the one thing that keeps pissing me off in the Hazbin Hotel Fandom? The fact people disrespect the fact Alastor is AROACE

I'n case you don't know what that is here's some very simple explanations:

Aromantic means that you feel little to no romanic love. You basically don't really care about dating, you don't feel romantic love. You can still love people but not in a romantic way like you would with your Boyfriend/Girlfriend or Husband/Wife.

Asexual means that you feel little to no sexual attraction. You do not feel sexually attracted to people or you just don't like it!

Yes, while some people who are Aro or Ace can still feel these attractions, it does not mean you can use that as an excuse to live out your fantasies.

I've seen so many people use bullshit excuses to sexualize Alastor or to shove him into a romantic relationship it's unreal. JUST LET HIM BE SINGLE! These fuckers are always like: "Oh but he hasn't found the right person" or "He just doesn't have good experience with it"

Seriously??? You're mad because a hot guy won't date or fuck you, that's all this is about. You can't let one fucking character not be in a relationship or be sexualized?

It's appealing.

Oh by the way for the people who go: "Well Viv is a terrible person and we don't have to take what she says as Cannon as we're removing the art from the artist!" IT STILL DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO INVALIDATE SOMEONES SEXUALLY!

Just let him be.

I've had someone come to me and say that "Al is just uncomfortable with sex because he's been through a lot of trauma. It's my personal Headcannon." Literally so they can ship him with Lucifer.

The fact people can't accept that one character is AroAce to the point they completely erase it from his identity is actually terrifying and really uncomfortable. Is this how you would treat actual people? Like, you would treat actual people like this? I had a friend who made me physically uncomfortable because of how much he didn't care about Alastor's sexuality. He didn't care, even after being told he just didn't care and got upset when no one would be horny with him!

For a long time I've questioned if I was AroAce because I don't feel sexual attraction, I very rarely feel sexually attracted to anyone, but because of what I keep seeing happen to fictional characters who are Cannonly AroAce and even to an actual person called Jaiden Animations I'm scared to even have that label.

I just don't understand why no one can respect that a person doesn't want to be in a relationship or like anything sexual. Why? I genuinely don't understand. It makes me so mad and upset, scared even. Just let him be. It's not as if it's a popular Headcannon, it's been confirmed in and outside the show! He's even shown that he's uncomfortable with it in show.

If I've made any spelling errors I apologize. I'm just upset atm.

[fruit-sauce]

im so happy other people have the headcanon of “qsmp eggs look like their parents + start looking like the people they hang most around” because i’ve had that idea since like. day one of the eggs lmao

i’ve only drawn dapper, but! i have many design ideas that i wanna write out (bc i might forget them lol), if you have any questions, feel free to ask them, I love talking about my designs, they are weird and silly and i love them all, i promise i will not be upset if you ask something i will instead by very happy

first, each egg started off basically as a blank slate (this is all with human designs in mind), just whatever is their defining detail but also pure white clothes, white hair, etc. but the more they hang around their parent(s), they go through a transformation and then look like their parent(s), typically after an emotional/impactful moment, like how pokemon evolve in the anime

second, to be more specific, every egg has different “Styles” that match each of their parents, as well as a few having mixes of parents (the beginning 8 [except Tilin and Dapper] and Richas w/ TazerCraft) called Duo Styles. All these Styles represent and resemble their parents in some way. 

Still, these Styles can change over time, fading when a parent is absent, or warping to fit the people (not their parents) that are around them the most. This came from the idea that BBH takes care of a lot of the eggs very often, even being referred to as another parent. but what if he hangs around them so much they start to look like him,,, as an example, now that Tallulah sees Phil as her father figure and wants him to refer to her as his daughter, she technically has two Styles, Wilbur and Phil, but since Bad takes care of her so often, tiny details start to change. most obvious, her eyes are becoming lighter, like Bad’s pure white eyes, as well as the tips of her fingers and fingernails creepily starting to turn into the charcoal black that Bad’s skin is. 

Warping to Styles can be stopped if the egg accepts the person as their parent, in that case, a new Style would be made, and the previous Styles revert to being not affected. 

Negative relationships with eggs or even between egg partners will reflect in the egg’s Style, for example, Mariana and Slime’s... thing they had going on? It showed in JuanaFlippas Duo Style

---------------

this is gonna be an entire essay, i’m sorry, but now its full on ramble time of each egg, some things will be vague, i’m just too lazy to try and describe it fully, while others i have more specific ideas that i wanna talk about ok lets get on with this mess:

-----

Bobby - Since he had such a close, positive relationship with both parents, Bobby has fully defined Styles of Jaiden and Roier, both having full patterns and even a bit of color in his hair. He also has a Duo Style, again, very developed, comfy, and stylish. As for any particular warping, he wore fingerless gloves (Cellbit), had yellow and green accents in his clothing (Mariana and Slime), and had slightly light eyes but nearly had his hands fully black (BBH)

-----

Chayanne - Fully defined Style of Philza, even to the point of having small crown shaped arm bands from his stories of Techno. As for Missa, his Style is less defined from not being around very often, but still very Missa, lots of bones and purples/blues. His Duo Style is more leaning towards Phil, but noticeably different from Phil’s Style. His clothing has soft yellow accents (Wilbur), a leather holster for his sword and one shoulder pad (Fit), and lately, his eyes are pure white (Missa Style already had pretty light colored eyes, but they’re now pure white from Bad)

-----

Dapper - He’s basically Bad’s mini self, I’ve already made a design for him a while back, but it needs to be updated. After Baghera, he now has a second style! Lots of soft, fluffy colors and textures. Owns a pair of sunglasses that he wears every now and then (Max), has some brown accents in his clothing and a dark grey glove on his left hand (Fit), horns have bright yellow tips, his shoes have purple accents, and his hair is braided back in Baghera’s Style (Forever), and his clothes have gold and diamond details (Foolish and Skeppy respectively)

-----

JuanaFlippa - With Slime’s Style, the ends of her limbs and hair were slime-like and green, and even had one of the slime creatures (?) that Slime has on his head and shoulder. Mariana’s Style wasn’t as defined, but still had the same colors and generally shapes. Her Duo Style was messy and vague, kinda like if you took the two main Styles and mushed them together, instead of being a third new one.

-----

Leo - Very defined Styles of Foolish, Vegetta, and Duo. Foolish’s Style has many gold and emerald details, and is comfortable to even swim in (because shark). Vegetta’s Style resembles Trunks/Bulla from Dragon Ball because haha funny. While not being a parental figure, Leo does have a Roier Style, with heavy details of Cellbit. They have semi-red horns (Bad), black accents in their clothes (Bad and Max), and fingerless gloves (Cellbit)

-----

Ramon - Duo and Spreen Style has nearly fully faded, but Fit’s Style, similar to Bad and Dapper, is very much like Fit himself. Lot’s of warping from Bad, charcoal skin goes up past his knees and elbows, horns are almost fully red, and eyes are also nearly fully white. He wears fingerless gloves and has a white streak in his hair (White streak earlier resembled Spreen, but is now closer to Cellbit’s hair)

-----

Tilin - Never formed a Luzu or Duo Style, and his Quackity style barely resembled Quackity. Bright purple eyes and accents in clothing (Jaiden), bright red accents and spider web details (Roier), red/white shoes and green under shirt (Slimcicle)

-----

Trumpet - Dan and Duo Styles vaguely resemble Dan at all, but it was still noticeable. On the other hand, Maximus’ Style was very defined. Had pure white eyes and red horns (Bad)

-----

Tallulah - Again, Wilbur’s Style resembles Wilbur exactly, even after all this time. She doesn’t use his Style since he left, but it’s still exactly how it was since then (aside from warping). She had HEAVY warping from Phil, but since asking him to refer to her as his daughter, she now has a Philza Style. She has a lot of colors in her clothing, im gonna have fun designing her (i say, through gritted teeth) Her hair is now a lighter brown, nearly a dirty blond, and is braided back (Forever), eyes are fully white, hands are becoming that pure black, and she has many black accents in her clothing (Bad), a white streak in her hair and some dark brown accents in clothing (Cellbit), previously had dark brown eyes, still has light brown/blue accents (Fit), previously had dark blue accents(Quackity, not anymore tho), and her horns are purple (Jaiden). I’m gonna regret doing this once I get to drawing her design but its ok i’ll survive. maybe.

-----

Richarlyson - Style for all five parents, Felps is the least defined but still there, and TazerCraft does have a Duo Style. He also has a Quackity Style, but that has been slowly fading since the arrival of El Quackity. Red horns and black accents (Bad), yellow accents (Baghera), and a few emerald details (Foolish)

-----

Pomme - Has five Styles, but Kameto’s is basically just a dark blue dress since he was barely there, all others are very defined. Consistently has bright blond hair in all Styles (Forever), red accents in clothing (Forever and Bad), and has some black accents (Bad)

-----

This is gonna be the death of me but I just needed to get these ideas and designs out of my head, I draw so slowly and I didn’t wanna forget anything so spitting them out in text form was my best bet, once i finish this kirakira precure drawings, i’ll start drawing these out, some of the wording might be confusing, i apologize, but it’ll all make sense once i draw them out

[unmotivated-student]

Okay, time to ramble a little about q!Roier [from my own point of view]:

To me, q!Roier seems like the "I have to be fine so I can help everybody else to be fine" kind of guy.

He has experienced tragedies, suffered betrayals and suffered losses, he knows how important it is to have someone by your side when dealing with pain, so if anyone needs him, he will most likely be there.

After losing Bobby he found happiness in his new family formed by q!Cellbit and Richas, although we must not forget the importance of his relationship with other islanders [like Leo, q!Foolish, q!Jaiden...] and after a while, it seemed like he was finally moving forward with his life again...

But now? With the disappearance of the eggs and all the Federation stuff, the mental stability of the islanders [or some of them] deteriorates little by little and his is no exception. He's tired, he's sad, he doesn't look very good/healty but he doesn't want to show it, he needs help but he doesn't want to ask for it because how could he?

How could he ask someone else for help when everyone is dealing with their own stuff? Not only that but how could he ask for help from people he doesn't even trust enough to confide in with his problems and feelings to that extent?

And don't get me wrong, he trusts his husband, he really does, but he knows q!Cellbit still going through Richarlyson's disappearance and he knows how hard it is to lose a child [he already went through that].

In recent days, he has been constantly watching his husband suffering because of it and investigating day and night looking for clues and much more, he can see how tired q! Cellbit is, he can see his husband is not okay...

So how could he add more weight to q!Cellbit's shoulders by making him worry about him too?

Instead, he prefers to keep his feelings to himself so he can help with whatever his husband needs and disguise his pain with jokes, because humor helps heal, right?

And if those silly jokes also help to bring out a smile to his husband's face [or the face of whoever is with him acutally], that's more than enough for him [no matter how small the smile is].

Also, although it may not seem like it at first glance, I think he is a very empathetic person [or cube].

Maybe you believe me or maybe you don't, but I'll explain it anyway. Let's take a look at the next example...

When q!Bagi told him everything about the twin stuff [my apologies, I suck at explaining lore], she let him know how worried she was about her relationship with q!Cellbit, how worried she is about him, just like how much it terrified her that he wouldn't even want to look at her after discovering that they were siblings.

After that he asked her "do you want me to talk to him?" and she answered "yes please".

But here's the thing, he knew there was probably a reason why his husband hadn't told him anything, like he probably wasn't ready to do it. But he was so sure that q!Cellbit would tell him eventually without the need to pressure him he decided to bring that up himself.

He couldn't just minimize Bagi's feelings. No, he was respectful and careful with his words, deciding to tell her what she needed to hear to have some peace of mind "He is not mad at you, I will help you, at the end of the day you two are sibligs and that's never going to change and you have to love each other, next time I see him I'll talk to him" [Paraphrased] And then finish with "Everything is going to be okay and if it's not okay, it will be" [when he said that, part of me thinks he was also saying that to himself].

When he finally talked to q!Cellbit he never pressured him to speak, he let him do it at his own pace. He only mentioned what q!Bagi had told him until q!Cellbit started talking about his past [and fulfilled what he promised q!Bagi in the process].

Also, the way he worried about those two's relationship shows how much he cares about the state of his new family and obviously also shows how much he cares about his husband. In a way, he was their support throughout the entire process.

He knows how hard and painful it is to drown in loneliness and he doesn't want q!Cellbit to suffer anymore either.

Am I overthinking? Of course I am, I always I'm.

[zeb-z]

to be fair, I don't think qroier not trusting qbad is particularly new haha. i think it's been going on for a while even before purgatory. the only thing purgatory did with that particularly relationship is it gave qroier an excuse to be more vocal in his annoyance

( @lucienff the themes of these are similar so I’m answering the ask and responding in one post instead of the comments, hope you don’t mind :3 )

I agree with the read that Roier didn’t particularly trust Bad before, but I think that at a baseline, Roier doesn’t have much trust with most anyone to begin with. I think everything that had happened with Spreen back in the beginning of the server is something that is a large cause in that, because its still something he is suffering from months later - it’s just in true Roier fashion, it’s something he doesn’t really talk about to others. He’s only recently shared it and talked about it with Cellbit.

But even then, he had a respect for Bad. When the eggs first went missing, and they were both visibly affected by the stress, they had moments of somewhat acknowledging the other, but sticking to the script of “oh I’m fine” yknow what I mean? And before purgatory, yeah, there was no doubt that Bad cared for the eggs, and could be trusted in that regard.

But post Purgatory, I think that baseline trust has been shaken. He doesn’t let Bad see Pepito when he visited the castle, makes excuses for him to leave, and then afterwards talks to himself about how he’s angry that everyone seems to have forgotten Purgatory (both in the context that he also doesn’t trust Pepito, and he doesn’t want Bad coming up to him as if the past two weeks didn’t happen). When Leo wakes up, and Bad is around trying to talk with them, he makes a point of pulling her away. Of putting himself between Leo and Bad. And it’s in the subtle, usual jesting way he’s done before with Bad (“you can only drink lava once yknow. sure, try it, I’m not going though!” and “stranger danger Leo, stranger danger!” etc etc. said with enough dramatics it keeps it lighthearted, because that’s what Roier does).

I don’t think Roier is actively thinking he should mistrust Bad with the eggs specifically. I don’t think that he thinks Bad doesn’t care about the eggs. I just think he hasn’t fully trusted Bad before, and now since Purgatory he doesn’t trust him at all, for good reason - Bad was very much an instigator and a cause for both his own torment and his family’s (Jaiden namely, what with the spawn killing, and Cellbit, Foolish). It’s no longer a ‘this guy is a thorn in my side and I don’t trust him’ kinda petty drama between islanders. It’s a ‘this guy went back on the deal to keep the score 50/50 and did so under the impression we as the losing team could die’ kind of situation. A ‘we spent the past few weeks in hell and this guy repeatedly not only killed, but went over the top in tormenting my family and myself, I don’t trust him’ kind of situation. It’s not an excuse to be petty or properly annoyed, it’s a result of how Bad burned all his bridges in purgatory. It’s in large part a trauma response.

It doesn’t matter that Bad has never once been a threat to Leo, that he’s taken care of her multiple times, that he has always checked in with the eggs and cared for them - it matters that Leo is his sister, that Pepito is under his care, and he Does Not Trust Bad.

dude your art is so amazing..i fucking love how you do anatomy, and linework, its just so perfect and also your qsmp designs??!? so fucking cool. your deathduo especially is so so dear to me<3 and your bluebird au(/aus?) amd your bluebird art in general its just so <33333…and your qsmp entities like cucu and eye creature and especially baribel, MAN those are singlehandedly my favorite qnpc designs theyre so great like. how the eye guy just has Teeth that come out of his head wherever?? and all your little headcanons about the bears??? THEYRE SO COOL MAN. and your philza with the patches on his pants n the baby zombie scar on his leg (also whats the scar on his nose from?)(also also i love your phils hair, like the short with the little braid its so neat:DD), and pommes hijab braids, and the zippers on th back of cucu and ositos heads (i have yet to figure out what those are for but ehatever theyre cool anyway) n just like. the thought and detail that goes into them, im rambling but aa<333 theyre all amazing:) OU AND YOUR COMICS,, i love love love how you structure n format them because theyre so dynamic and interesting while still being super readable and the ART IVE SAID IT ALREADY BUT I NEED TO SAY IT AGAIN I LOVE YOUR STYLE SO MUCH. its just so nice. like how you use general shapes and like i dont know how to explain it but its cool:)) your art lives in this little spot in my brain rent free…made me subconsciously kind of incorporated stuff you do into my own art process like sketching shit in blue LOL

anyway sorry for the wall of text i just needed to rant a tiny bit because youre one of my fsvorite artists n you inspire me so much ssob,,anyway have a good day mate

This ask makes my heart explode oh my goddd. I'm so happy you enjoy the stuff I put out augghh that so sweet THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE IS SO SWEET WTF. I hope you are ready for a ramble about hc/theory/design choices. Seriously its long-

I have so many head canons I like showing. Some lean towards theory territory and others I legitimately do not believe in myself BUT I like drawing it out because WHY NOT !!?? I like the whimsy of it all

THE BLUEBIRD AU is purely me having fun. Its such an angst filled au that is coated with a mask of nuclear family and hurt/comfort. In reality its like being hit with a sauce pan repeatedly. I'm more of a scientist Jaiden believer personally. DON’T GET ME STARTED ON DEATHDUO- Man I want to go back to drawing self-indulgent stuff for that. Fuck this ask is making my brain engine go insane AUGHH-

Like stuff about Osito just being a huge flirt because of their exposure to Roier from the beginning or Baribal being a pot head, yeah those sort of head cannons I'm sure people are dying to hear from me (sarcasm). Or more serious ones like the relationship, more like lack of, between Cucurucho and Baribal being one of miscommunication that snowballed into hate but never enough to kill each other. Literally the trope of "twins separated where one is raised within evil and other is forced to take them down" but it's very dark grey from both sides. YESSIR

Or other theory territory like federation not knowing that Cucurucho and Osito are not the same person because it’s a secret- BUT THAT’S VERY FANON/THEORY TERRITORY AND TOO CONVOLUTED FOR HERE-

Oh and of course more tame head cannons like sexualities and stuff. Cucurucho is aromantic to me. All of them are transgender. The entire fed staff. Fuck even the purgatory island goobers. No real concept of what gender is and sort of adopted what the islanders do or what the federation refers to them as. It's just not a thing, same with labels on sexuality. If you like someone then you just like them and that’s how it rolls !!

THE WATCHER. MAN DO I HAVE THOUGHTS ON THIS GUY. Like actual constant threat and you are left scrambling trying to figure out the rules of not pushing the wrong buttons so you stay alive. I know his concept art had like him as a human at some point, but I like fungus goop watcher more. Little goober who just so happen to survive the longest, learn the most, and as a result evolve to what he is now. Eventually became strong enough to overthrow the previous leader (and consume them-) and is now king of the purgatory island in privacy. Until the new islanders were sent there ofc. So yeah, bro is very old, its why Cucurucho has no clue who this dude is when he does get to put a face to the name.

PHILZA. This guy is the kinda guy to put survival above all. So I like to imagine that not only would he be covered in scars because he tanks most of the hits and is generally a very selfless person- SOME SCARS HAVE A REASON ! The zombie scar being one of course, semi infected bc I like to think that he did not die in his hc world but rather came close to it. And his buildings is what caught the attention of the goddess of death and allowed for her to give him immortality and be her eyes in the mortal realm as her angel of death. So the poison is still in his foot, just unmoving. Stuck in time just like his body unable to age. As for the scar on his cheek? Nightmare Stalker grabbing him by the face and throwing him in the ocean the second time he tried to get up to save Tallulah. The only evidence left of that night happening. YES SHORT HAIR PHILZA AND POMME WITH A HIJAB YESSS

The zippers are supposed to show that their "head" is not actually what they look like. It’s a helmet/mask. I don't draw their real faces out of fear of making them look too "human" but rather I enjoy the implication that they COULD LOOK LIKE any other islander. Isn’t the thought that this horrible twisted shell of a being could look just as human as you so much more eerie? I dunno I was watching horror analysis videos of the unknown while building the fanon side of them- Now why their masks can emote?,,, its cartoon logic !! And it's cute I have so many thoughts on these guys can you tell? OH MY GODD THANK YOU THO. Augh this is the sweetest message ive ever read pls.im so so very glad these little guys can make you happy. That’s such an honor fr !!

[td-frog]

okay i'm not done talking about this. i want to highlight again the all stars couples from previous seasons and what direction they seem to be heading in (and why i think it's a good narrative choice)

jaiden:

they had a whole arc throughout their season with loads of conflict. it went back and forth a little bit, but in a way that made sense for the characters, and it felt like it resolved really nicely by the end.

because of that, it would be really disappointing if they just brought the conflict back now that they're on a new season. they put in the work on the show and all signs pointed to strong, healthy relationship when they left off (having already had the experience of working through problems).

and so far, that's exactly what they are. the drama of the past season is resolved, they're still super close, and the conflict now is not within their relationship, but who they are outside of it. first with being on different teams, and now with james being out so early.

i really really like that james immediately shut jake down with the accusations of cheating. it was very much an opportunity to reintroduce relationship conflict, but the show said "no, they're happy together."

i also like the choice to have james leave and aiden stay: first, james is a stronger competitor (explicitly why he got to go for the win in s2), second because aiden is less confident about being on his own and we get to see that, and third because of what's going on with tom/jake

i think at this point jaiden seems super solid and it doesn't look like they're planning to change that. which they shouldn't, these guys have had their drama and deserve to be happy.

tomjake

they also had a lot of back and forth in their season, but the key difference is that nothing was really ever fully resolved? there were mini resolutions, where they agreed to communicate better (and then failed immediately) but it didn't have the finality of "we've worked through the misunderstandings and are stronger for it" that jaiden had.

like, their issue has always been being Terrible at communication. tom because of the secretiveness of his spy background, and jake because of his gullibility and tendency to jump to the worst conclusions. so the fact that their plot this season seems to be Bad Communication turned up to 11 is perfectly in line with what we've seen before.

it's also a nice contrast to jaiden- they both have the "on separate teams" problem, but while jaiden have the trust and strength in their relationship to handle it, jake's insecurities cause him to fall back on old patterns with almost no prompting at all (and tom's not entirely innocent here either- i fully believe his friendship with aiden is just friendship and there's nothing wrong with that, but his avoidance of jake is absolutely feeding the problem and he should know that)

based on s1, it really doesn't seem like they'll make the relationship work unless some major conflict forces them to actually deal with their problems (and then they have to Actually deal with them), so i'm expecting it to get worse before it gets better. they both need to grow as people before the relationship can work, and until then they can suffer.

(also: removing miriam from the picture by putting her on the third team is key- she's the voice of reason for jake that he desperately needs, so taking that away rapidly accelerates the Problems)

hunterally

they're kind of an in-between case. we saw a little bit of conflict on the show, but they didn't actually get together until the very end (counting them resolving their friendship problems in the finale) or after (start of the actual relationship). so we haven't actually gotten to see how they work as a couple.

similar to miriam, tess seems like she is a key part of keeping the relationship together (given that the problems seem to have started after she left, and she seems to be the most chill and rational at this point), so distancing her is good for seeing how the relationship plays out.

as far as hunter and ally's conflict, it's interesting how it follows from their characters in s2. hunter seems like more of a jerk, but not in an ooc way- literally the first thing we learn about him is he's not big on socializing, so it's not surprising that he might not put much effort into a relationship. meanwhile ally always seemed a bit more invested in their relationship on the show (partly because she had a crush on him), so it tracks that she could be putting more into the relationship and get frustrated with him when he didn't.

like from what little we've seen so far, the conflict they're having feels very realistic for "we became friends on a reality tv show and started a relationship after"- they don't really know each other that well by the end, and they might not be as compatible as they thought (and regardless, need to work to make the relationship succeed)

also, another note on tess: while i am a little disappointed that it's not the poly throuple i expected, i don't hate it. tess's relationship to the other two was more "the first people to try to help her out of a very dark place" which can be romantic (and especially at first is likely to feel that way) but it doesn't have to be. i would be very disappointed if they weren't still friends, but that's not the case.

i also think there's a possibility that the resolution is their relationship doesn't work without tess. i don't know if this is the direction they'll take (and i don't need it) but i think it'd be super cool if it ends in a poly relationship that isn't romantic on tess's end but is no less important (possibly more important).

gabellie

shoutout to these two. i don't have much to say, mostly because their relationship has never been the source of drama in the same way as the other three.

i do like how they've almost kind of switched roles since s1? at the start of s1 everyone hated gabby, and ellie wasn't super popular but liked well-enough. now ellie's the one everyone hates and gabby's still not the favorite but is doing fine.

i think they're really cute together and i love how they support each other. and it's really nice to have a relationship that's almost fully outside of the drama of the show, like it's formed in response to individual drama (ellie being the only person to stand up for gabby) and it affects the drama (gabby saving ellie even though it could (and did) cost her a chance at immunity later on) but it's not dramatic itself. i hope that lasts.

as for other couples: i have some thoughts on connoriya but they're kind of separate from this. yulgrett is new this season so that's also a different thing. there isn't really anything to say about ashwill given that he was out first and didn't return. and i think that's it for all star couples so far.

QSMP Quackity Swap AU - Guapoduo

I mentioned once that El was very close with Guapoduo but I never went into detail with it.

For those that don't know, this is my swap au with Quackity and El Quackity where Elq was the OG

Elq was close with Roier from the very start of the server, and he was one of the very few people that Elq would go out of his way to spend time with/around without it involving some grand scheme. Roier enjoyed his company and how he never failed to darken up a room with only a few words or even a glance at someone. Elq thought Roier was fun and he liked having someone that just took him at face value and didn't call him emo (Shut up, MISSA-)

Elq had a tendency to make a lot of jokes about getting with Roier but Elq jokes in a very...deadpan and non-romantic way so it just came out as "[Scowling] I can't believe I married you." which Roier found hilarious but could never tell if it was flirting or jokes. If questioned on this, Elq would pretend they questioned him about something else.

Elq was the defacto babysitter of Bobby to the point where Bobby and Tilin were like siblings. He was a...odd man and honestly probably not the best babysitter, but he once took several arrows in a row without wearing armor to make sure Bobby (Who was fully decked out in armor and had a totem) didn't get hit so he was alright in Jaiden and Roier's book of who to let babysit. Elq was close to Roier to the point where multiple people on the island genuinely couldn't tell if they were dating or not (Roier had no idea either, but he was leaning towards 'No'.) (Elq acts like the question was dumb and refuses to answer).

Cellbit made things interesting because he was extremely close with him from the SECOND that he met the man, it barely took any time at all. They bonded over puzzles, scheming, and mysteries when they first met and would grow to bond over their natural lack of compassion and empathy for others (Both of them have very low empathy and have selective compassion).

Cellbit thought that Elq was fascinating and made for an amazing debate partner. Elq thought Cellbit was so interesting, he was entralled by him completely.

He had a...weird relationship with Richas that consisted of both of them threatening the other constantly but jumping to their defense the second anyone else slanders them. Richas has stabbed multiple people for making fun of Elq. He still becomes 1% of Richas's parent in this au but neither of them tend to acknowledge it to each others faces. Behind each other's backs, they'll be like "Well, MY dad could trick your dad into signing away his soul!" or "MY son is so much better than your kid. What can your kid do that mine can't do better?" Cellbit finds it adorable and loves watching the two bicker.

Elq, after knowing Cellbit for some time, does the same flirting joke thing that he does with Roier (and while it flusters Cellbit a lot more than it does Roier), and it confuses the shit out of poor Cellbit. He tried to ask the other members, but they had no answers. Neither did Roier but he found the whole thing funny from the start so it was unlikely he'd be much help either way.

Once Roier and Cellbit started dating, they both thought Elq would either get jealous of one of them or stop with the jokes (Maybe do a mock assassination attempt if he was especially pouty). They did not account for him acting as if absolutely nothing changed. The only thing that changed with his banter/jokes/flirting was that he would speak as if all 3 of them were in a relationship. It confused them so bad that they'd occasionally forget that they weren't actually dating Elq (At least, they thought so).

Elq basically lived in the castle with them for fucks sake, it was a really confusing situation that no one except Elq understood (and god knows he wasn't willing to explain).

Slimeriana Top Gun AU

okay so surprisingly, people are interested in this AU so here it is - it’s only half-baked for now so details may change in the future (: hope you enjoy

I’m having the most problems with names/callsigns so if you have any ideas please reblog or send an ask!

the cast would look something like this:

naturally Charlie and Mariana are Maverick and Iceman, since I love icemav and also they fit into the roles so well. Charlie is Mav, the reckless pilot who doesn’t care about the rules and needs his RIO to keep him in check. Mariana is Ice, stickler to the rules who considers Slime dangerous, and is his rival for the Top Gun trophy

I’m putting Jaiden as Charlie’s RIO, bc I really like their friendship [: she gives me Goose vibes (and he's my fave so !!) and it would make so much sense to make Roier Jaiden’s husband with Bobby as Bradley but I really want Roier to be Mariana’s RIO. The other option for Mariana’s RIO would be Missa since I think the two of them hang out on the server? but I also want to make Missa Spreen's RIO. we’ll see

I’m thinking of making Osito and Pato the instructors - Osito “Cucurucho” as Jester, the instructor who plays the enemy during hops; and Pato “Duck” as Viper, the other instructor. I think it’d make more sense than putting other players as instructors, since the only other person I can come up with as an instructor is Quackity

and I actually want to make Alexis “Quackity” a pilot, in place of Hollywood. His RIO would be either Wilbur “Soot” or Luzu “I have no idea for a callsign” - I’m not really sure yet. 

the plot would be very similar to the movie - naval pilot Charlie “Slime” and his RIO Jaiden “Jay” are picked for TOPGUN, after a meeting with two hostile MiGs causes the previous pick for the program, Spreen “Bear��, to resign. yes, they still flip the MiG off while inverted like Mav did in the movie bc i love that scene

there will be no romantic relationship between Rubius (in the role of Charlie) - the civilian contractor and Slime. They’re good friends, but no romance

so instead of Rubius, Slime meets Osvaldo “Mariana” and his RIO Roier “Spider” at the bar the day before the first day of classes. There is no serenading but Jaiden introduces them because they went to flight school together. Slime and Mariana immediately establish a rivalry since Mariana was friends with Spreen and blames Slime for Spreen resigning. Charlie decides Mariana is hot as fuck and falls for him on the spot - he’s into this rivalry stuff lmao; Mariana notices Slime is his type but 1. he’s too dangerous, and 2. getting the Top Gun is more important

Charlie spends the whole time flirting with Mariana but nothing happens until Slime abandons Q in the air to go after Pato during Hop 19; Mariana is all pissed off at Charlie’s recklessness and corners him in the locker room after the hop. they get into an argument and Charlie kisses Mariana to shut him up

they Do Not start dating, I’m thinking something like rivals with benefits - they sabotage each other during classes and try to sneak away from the group during outings at the O-Club to make out. Unfortunately for him, Mariana falls in love with Charlie, how can he not? Slime is an excellent pilot, brilliant and funny. He wants to tell Charlie before a hop where they are paired together but he doesn’t have time and they put it off until after the flight. Yes fellas, it’s Hop 31 and so

Jaiden Fucking Dies

and here is where my thoughts for this AU end for now - there is some more vague stuff like Mariana taking care of Slime after the hop but nothing solid yet, will let yall know once i have something out [:

qcellbit my guy of all time i can't even put to words how much i adore him

6. Name a ship(s) you like

spiderbit makes me so crazy also i miss them so bad i've stopped caring about so many other ships 😭 no one is doing it like them genuinely

7. Name a ship(s) you don’t like

i'm not fond of most ships bc i care a lot about chemistry but in terms of ships i genuinely dislike i just find slimeriana fans so obnoxious i never want to hear about them ever. not a fan of most slime ships for similar reasons

8. Your favorite egg & why?

richarlyson brasovo of all time he has so much personality and ricardão is so talented at rp, he's really great at building relationships with everyone and creating his own character while still bolstering others' rp, it's really impressive.

YOUR QSMP + ALPHARAD AU??? IS??? SO COOL?

(any thoughts on how q!alpha would interact with others on the island? maybe roier?)

RAAHHHH I DIDN'T SEE THIS I'M SO SORRY <</33

i already kinda went over that in this post here, but since you mentioned roier specifically i'll go with how i think they'd interact

despite having different types of humor, i can definitely see them getting along well, with neither of them able to give up the bit (since jacob's sense of humor has turned more sincere recently while roier's is a lot of silly goofy stuff). considering the situation they both find themself in, too (roier's co-parent gone missing + jacob looking for her) they'd find comfort in knowing that both pre and post disappearance, jaiden was loved and cared about. roier also trusts jacob because of how much time he spends with cellbit, since he trusts cellbit with his life and he knows jacob wouldnt pull shit (he's aro just like jaiden)

speaking of that whole family, i might've mentioned it before but jacob would absolutely be a babysitter for richarlyson. he'd think it was so weird how the eggs work (they are literally big eggs with stick legs) but would still be so charmed and a little honored when entrusted with richas' safety. they end up sorta getting adopted into this family and by the end of it, roier, cellbit & richas won't be as important to him as jaiden, but they'll be very high up on the list

i want to explore the concept of jacob's relationship with them a bit deeper but i feel like my ideas would come across Kinda Weird and since people on the internet are nuts about mcyt i'm not gonna go into it, but tldr qpp polycule. yk

[sapybara]

I love big Q so fucking much but I'm afraid he bit off more than he can chew here. He already overextended with the divide (shitload spanish streams, pretty much no english streams, the audience became unbalanced, which while understandable, is also very not good for a comeback) and now the lineup is just random people and very few close friends that would help him carry the burden of connection. There could be a last minute grand announcement of more players that he has strong ties to, but the premiere is literally almost here already. He could also introduce his other friends one by one as the smp goes on, but without a strong ground zero group the new players would have no foothold in the environment, even feel alienated if too many of the people decide to wait out comms and just go off to do something individualy. I pray that Q has iron control of the main plan and interpersonal dynamics are taken into account because I want this to work so bad! I'll send as many good vibes as I can, he deserves it ❤️

Unless I'm forgetting someone, it's actually pretty equal? Philza, Fitmc, Foolish, Jaiden, Dantdm, Wilbur and Slime (the last two im assuming cause they were in the trailer) for English and Luzu, Spreen, Maximus, Missa, Vegetta for Spanish. So it's 7:5 + Q. My bet is in that there will be more people that will either be announced between today and tomorrow or that will be introduced to the story later.

I think that what is making noise to ppl is the fact that hispanics sort of already know each other from past events (still. Its not like theyre best friends or something, probs only Luzu and V are from the same group, Maxo too maybe, but V didnt knew who spreen was until he googled him lmao) , but the english CCs don't really have a relationship between them. Idk, is not like I'm expecting the best server in the world on the first day but I trust Q's capacity to choose people that will adapt into the environment so I don't really think I'll flop (at least not right away).

The point is, a bunch of people are already doomposting about it, but I think everyone should give it a chance to show the potential it has. Just wait and see, then you can say whatever you want.

The Ordo is QIU's student body's worst-kept secret.

Everybody Quesadilla Island University knows that the University has two chess clubs - the QIU Chess Federation and the Ordo Bellitas.

You wouldn't think that there'd be two of them. Really, just one should be enough. No one really knows how there ended up being two of them anyway, but it's not like the Ordo is an officially endorsed one. The Ordo Bellitas isn't an officially endorsed QIU club, which honestly makes the whole situation even funnier. And the situation being hilarious? Well, that's the reason why people even pay attention to the two clubs in the first place!

Because, really. Being peripherally aware of your school's chess club is one thing, but being aware of your school's chess club is a whole other. No one really cared about the Federation before the Ordo appeared. No one really cared about the Ordo before the Federation did. So really, this whole situation is the Federation's own fault, no matter how much the members complain and gripe about it.

From an outsider's point of view, as most students at the University are, the whole situation is hilarious.

Really! What's with the Federation being so threatened by the existence of a group of friends playing chess? The founders of the Ordo - well. That's what they really were at first, weren't they? Just a group of friends playing chess together, teaching other friends how to play chess together. It's the Federation's push that made them into a symbol.

It's almost sad how the Federation reacts. Like, come on! A group of friends playing chess together without being in your club shouldn't be a reason to declare war.

But that's what happens.

News of the Federation and the Ordo tends to be the talking point of the week. Several buildings are almost burnt. They run smear campaigns on each other.

QIU Chess Federation is run by the most straight-laced, clean-cut, stereotypical competitive chess players there are and almost all of them look the part. They're not really friends, more of a group of people working towards the common goal of dominating tournaments.

Ordo Bellitas, on the other hand, is chaos.

The Ordo's "Captain" Cellbit very dramatically "infiltrates" the Federation after his best friend Felps joins the Federation. Ordo "Captain" Cellbit also gets unofficially kicked out of the Federation after 3 days. He's still registered as a club member though, because that's out of the Federation's and Cellbit's control. Paperwork. He also has only slept for 8 hours in the past 4 days.

The Ordo's "Captain"'s boyfriend Roier does not know how to play chess. Still, he's very supportive of his boyfriend's shenanigans. He's also friends with this guy in the Federation. It's not a point of contention in their relationship because Cellbit doesn't know. Also because Osito and him had a bit of a falling out earlier on in the term and they don't talk anymore. He dressed up in drag and did pole dancing during one of the Ordo meetups.

The Ordo's "Captain"'s boyfriend's best friend Jaiden plays chess sometimes. Casually. She holds a membership for the Federation and shows up sometimes. She also has a standing open invite to the Ordo from her best friend's boyfriend. (Cellbit asks her to help spy on the Federation. Her other friend Cucurucho asks her to help spy on the Ordo.) She has tattoos and her sleeves are ripped and no one expects her to know how to play.

Ordo co-founder Foolish joins the Federation so that he can get sponsored by the school to partake in tournaments. It was fine for a while, then he beat Ordo members Pac and Mike consecutively in a tournament. Fellow co-founder and long-time competitor/rival Bad declared this an act of betrayal and exiled him from the Ordo. Jaiden still invites him to play sometimes, when no one is in the room. He once replaced an entire set with chocolate and ate the pieces when they were captured just to freak out his opponent (Bad).

And that's just four of them.

"Ordo Bellitas is full of drama kids and QIU Chess Federation is petty," someone comments, aptly summing up the entire situation.

Their friends laugh and they go back to watching Cellbit yell at Cucurucho over a chess board. Cucurucho smiles like the cat that got the cream. Cellbit rages.

QIU would not be the same without them.

(or, a university chess club au)

[qsmpbutwithsignlanguage]

I'm back, and I've been thinking about the A.U. nonstop for the last day and a half. So. Further thoughts that nobody asked for that may or may not contradict your original statements, OP, but I needed to get these out into the world.

(under the cut because this is really, really long for a Tumblr post)

I'm kind of imagining this like a version of Quesadilla Island more heavily populated/spread apart (to explain the whole Bolas Rojas not knowing if their friends/family are alive, and trying to find them anyway). Maybe four major areas? One where Bolas found each other (imagine U.S. Midwest/East coast suburbia), one where the Green Gay Ninjas banded together, one where Soulfire found each other, and one that is the 'Capital' where the Federation resides. Alternate Universe in the truest sense of the word, separate from the established beginnings of Quesadilla Island.

When apocalypse strikes, people that only sort of knew each other (i.e. Carre and Jaiden, who only saw each other in passing on commute to work) end up clinging to each other with the desperation of someone facing imminent death (because that's exactly what's going on). They're separated from the people that they love and their family, with no way of being 100% certain that they'll get their family back.

Bolas Rojas would be that group that's formed through blood and tears, and exactly like you said, they are dead set on finding their family and loved ones again. I specifically think that Jaiden and Cellbit trying to figure out what happened with Roier after the nuclear weapons dropped and get in contact with him again would be really interesting.

There's a major missing persons issue, where after the 'apocalypse' people just went missing, and never turned up again. It's not entirely addressed, but it's definitely present. Two major victims of this are DanTDM (who is just. never found.) and Quackity, who does end up turning up again some time through the timeline.

Radiation poisoning! Really, the effects of the use of nuclear weapons in general. For survival, the residents would have either had to have a past in the military/nuclear studies/settings or be paranoid enough that they know how to survive that kind of thing. They would have all had to be rather far away from ground zero, but in an area where they can get to cover underground quickly (parking garages, cave systems, basements, etc). Buildings made of brick or cement would have also been useful. Depending on how far away they were from ground zero, it likely would have taken some time to regroup and get back into the (now irradiated) world. However, I think that radiation would have to remain a constant worry. Members of these three groups would have to have at least one person experienced with nuclear weaponry/radiation in order for them to traverse the world safely.

Investigating romantic relationships would be really interesting in this. Considering that this is literally the apocalypse, and imagining Quesadilla island is spread much further apart, it would be a very major effort trying to get couples back together again. And you wouldn't even know if they were still alive.

Let's follow canon that Max died, I think that it would be interesting having Tubbo have above average knowledge when it comes to nuclear weapons. This is mainly due to his involvement in Project Dreamcatcher in the DSMP, but also due to just how much he works with mechanics and engineering in the QSMP.

Green Gay Ninjas and Soulfire have at least some hostility towards each other when they originally meet, due to their differing ideals. Soulfire is dead set on fixing the world, while Green Gay Ninjas has basically accepted that it is unlivable.

Most of the eggs go missing after the bombs drop, for *plot purposes*. But really, I think that this would be a major plot device in this world. The survivors had the brain or luck to be tucked away when the nuclear weapons hit, but when they got back out into the world, their children or the people they considered their children were gone. (emphasis on fostering?)

Everyone is kind of an edge. Soulfire tends to act more carefree/careless, Bolas is more manic, and Green Gay Ninjas unhinged, but still mildly composed.

Basically City of Ember vibes, if you've ever read that.

Other Assorted Ideas that aren't Really Composed Enough to get a Bullet Point on the Main List:

Purgatory Two guest members are just kind of chilling throughout. The former teams will have banded together, and just kind of work to survive, occasionally assisting the main three throughout.

Those found underground in the Federation's facility (IronMouse, Lenay, Nihachu, TinaKitten, Tubbo, Carre, German, PolisPol, Rivers, and WillyRex) as well as those canonically involved with the Federation (Bagi, to my knowledge) as well as Baghera and Jaiden are involved with the Federation in this, who are the cause of said nuclear devastation. ElQuackity is involved in the Federation, obviously, as is Forever?

I'm messing around with the idea of a sort of cyberpunk code thing? Like, holographic, sentient A.I. as some of the characters (IronMouse, Luzu/Arin, WillyRex, and possibly Wilbur) that the teams have to be certain to preserve (because they're still people, in a sense).

Basically the Federation is connected to the nuclear catastrophe in some way, shape, or form. Whether it gets addressed or not.

And. Um. Yeah. This idea possessed me for the last couple of days, and these ramblings are heavily, heavily inspired by the song 'Save Yourself' by Stabbing Westward. I just thought it fit.

I genuinely haven't stopped thinking about this for absolute ages.

AU TIME BC BRAIN GOES BRR

Nuclear fallout au (I have never seen nor played anything fallout btw I just saw gas mask and I blacked out) in which team bolas are survivors trying to make it out in this shit life. They stick to eachother bc there are barely any chance of reuniting with their other connections. That doesnt mean it'll stop them to try.

Soulfire is a team of engineers and a scientist going around adopting valuable people with their number one goal being to reintroduce electricity and technical advancement to the world again. After all, humanity hasnt been completely doomed, right?

GG Ninjas are the brave fighters who does their best to make extinguish every hostile mutants within their boundaries before moving to further cities. Because in their mind, if the world is going to die out, they might as well make it as clean as possible for the next generation of plants and whatever the fuck to thrive

[unmotivated-student]

Just a little au where Baghera is studying to be a fashion designer and for her final project she has to organize a fashion show in which she would have to present a line of clothing for men and one for women.

She needed three male models and three female models, so her first option was to ask her friends.

BadBoyHalo was her classmate and he had his own show to worry about, Forever was going to model for Bad along with Pac and Fit [This slowburn started burning a while ago but it's going very slow so Bad and Forever wanted to give them an excuse to spend more time together and make it progress faster], Mike was going to be in charge of helping with the stage and decorations and Felps was traveling so she couldn't ask any of them.

She asked her roommates Etoiles and Charlie and while Charlie said he would gladly accept, Etoiles said no, but not because he didn't want to help but because that really wasn't his thing, he didn't think he could do a good job as a model and he didn't want to ruin the final project of one of his best friends but promised to help her with anything else, like finding cool locations for the show and photoshoots and help her get money to finance everything since he was more of the adventurous type who can't sit still.

Then she asked Cellbit, he hesitated at first but accepted just because he wanted to help Baghera, Cellbit also convinced his sister/twin Bagi to help.

Etoiles asked his friends [Foolish, Tina and Roier] if any of them would like to be a model for a day.

Foolish couldn't because he had a lot of projects to finish before the end of the semester, Tina said she wasn't sure because she was almost in the same situation as Foolish [although she was tempted by the idea so she wanted to think about it] but Roier said he would like to try it.

Roier and Cellbit meet when Baghera calls all her models to take measurements to make the clothes.

Cellbit was charmed by Roier's playful and flirtatious personality while Roier enjoyed teasing Cellbit, Roier thought it was cute how Cellbit let go of his mysterious and serious side every time he got nervous by his flirting or felt more comfortable with whoever he was talking to.

Roier also liked to listen to Cellbit talk about riddles, mystery and horror novels although he knew he wouldn't care much about those topics.

Tina accompanied Roier only to talk to Baghera to tell her that she could be a model but probably couldn't go to all the rehearsals and dress fittings.

But that's when she met Bagi, they were both attracted to each other since their first conversation and from then on they took advantage of any excuse to spend time together [Bagi offers to help her with her projects and Tina agrees to be a full time model for Baghera for example].

The last female model would be Jaiden who is convinced by her roomate Roier to do it, being the last member of my platonic quartet [Jaiden, Baghera, Foolish and Etoiles] who, among other things, helped each other, talked and gossiped about life, the relationships that were forming around them and debated if they could do something to make them progress 👍

It might also be fun to add that Charlie and elMariana meet at one of the show's rehearsals because Mariana was there to tease Roier but got distracted by Charlie.

idk
