#anon you're so right

[allastoredeer]

Chiming in to say I find it a bit silly to say Alastor wouldn't do something out of 'masculine pride' because Alastor is very much okay with making himself look a bit silly at times. This is the guy who ran around post-extermination Pentagram City shoving a crappy corner in random sinners' faces while interviewing them about a hotel which is a public object of ridicule. Even if he was the kind of person to find a man wearing women's clothing demeaning in some way, he'd still do it.

He is so silly.

Look at him

Look at this guy!

This man too prideful to be silly?

Him and his little roach crown?

Is that the face of seriousness?

You know what they called his duets with his bestie back on Earth?

Mimzy and Whimsy, because he's so goddamn wacky.

i think the funniest part of nick's jealousy of vlad is that there's literally nothing to be jealous of. nick, you're rich, attractive, vlad literally WORKS FOR YOU, and him and hayko are the epitome of just bros™️. you're jealous of a LOSER (affectionate)

Like, this guy is just an engineer who likes plants and hates you. He has no sexual or romantic inclinations towards your Hayko. Be so fr. 😭

lmao thought of wonu this is so him 😭

One of my favorite things about this mod.

Almost all the residents gather on this day, celebrating Community Day, have new dialogue each season as they interact with each other.

Like how Alex wants to play a catch-up with the ASS trio (Sebby doesn't like that idea too much lol), how Evelyn says that even though George is grumpy about "being dragged to this silly holiday", he was so excited before it started and was waiting for them to get here (but it's a secret shhhh!), how Claire, who is technically not a Pelican Town resident, is still invited and grateful for it (but also worried that Martin is now working at the movie theater while everyone else is celebrating and promised to visit and bring him something yummy), how Kent listens to Marlon's stories, how Andy and Susan tending to the little plot with plants and talk to each other, how Victor wanting Elliott's autograph, how Sandy being grateful to be invited to the party- I could talk about it for hours.

And I never miss this day just to listen to everyone's dialogue (also a great way to give everyone gifts to increase friendship/Mr. Qi's quest hee hee).

Something I appreciate about the SDV Expanded Mod is that characters regularly use the Community Center.

When I spent so much time in normal SDV on it and there’s only one celebration day before the town forgets it exists again, it was really disappointing.

I wanna see a fic where the Batkids realize that no, Matches Malone isn't just their dad's crimesona. He was a real dude who committed suicide, and Bruce committed identity theft for a mission and then proceeded to... not stop committing identity theft. Like, it legitimately sounds fucking insane when you actually hear it

Bruce: "You've never heard of the sunk cost fallacy?"

Jason, leaning about Matches Malone's origins in detail for the very first time: "Did you -- did you just make a joke?"

Bruce, deflating slightly: "...Matches likes jokes."

Jason: "Oh my GOD--"

Dazai with big hands I’m thinking he’s easily able to manhandle his s/o 😵‍💫 or about Dazai’s broad shoulders and how they grip his shoulders when they’re riding him … I ♡︎ Dazai’s body

dazai with huge palms, defined forearms, and lithe biceps that pick you up so effortlessly. . .dazai with piano fingers and pretty knuckles that he thinks your mouth looks so pretty around. . .dazai with slim wrists that link together at the small of your back while you ride him. . .dazai with broad shoulders and a little waist that you alternately claw onto while he thrusts up into you. . .dazai with prominent hipbones and collarbones that he knows drive you crazy. . .dazai with a biteable neck and elegant fingertips and lips that stay wet as he gasps below you and soft lines of muscle all over him that don't give the impression that he'll have you flipped over in a second but he will! dazai who's strong and knows he doesn't look it so when the surprise strikes across your blissed-out faced he can't help but grab your chin with those gorgeous hands to force that horribly charming shit-eating grin in your face as he starts fucking into you hard :)

The Hawaiian language doesn't attach gender to pronouns, but it does have a complex set of relational pronouns, so you can use a particular pronoun to note for example "all of us (except for that guy)"

I just had the most horrifying realization.

Roo is just your average writer/artist and Alastor is her fandom darling. She just has the privlege of being canon to Hazbin.

She sent him to the Hotel to fulfill her twisted plotlines.

Oh god,fanfic writers are the root of all evil

[cry-ptidd]

Some things I'd change are:

less Seras objectification (really don't like how the series treats her sometimes),

more time between Seras and Pip to build up romantic tension (I genuinely didn't realise I was meant to ship these two until Pip DIED),

a more proactive Integra (I think she's cool, but too reactive. It would be awesome to see her predict and foil some of Millennium's plans and set them back in significant ways instead of simply reacting to what they do and responding exactly how they want to. Showcase her strategic mind! Also she can sword fight, give her a sword fight, please!)

THIS IS ALL EXCELLENT. Especially the Integra parts.... yes yes she's severely underutilized. I think Millenium didn't have nearly enough setbacks, and the lack of punishment for them felt really anticlimactic and frustrating. Integra pushing back against their onslaught would've been not only extremely interesting, but would showcase what makes her a capable leader despite every single odd being against her. AND GIVE HER A PROPER SWORD FIGHT DAMMIT!!

And then, Seras. My poor baby. She really deserved better from both the story and the author. Really fell victim to the Break The Cutie trope, with the rapey fanservice rubbing salt in the wound. At least it had the decency to not play it off as a joke or make her "like it". The bar is in hell.

Seras's character is extremely interesting and could've benefited, like Integra, so much from not only extra screen time but with more room to act instead of react. Her relationship with Bernadotte was so rushed, and it was done somewhat well in my eyes with the, like, 3 scenes of them we got. I do like the trope of the female character being the avenger for her dead lover instead of the usual other way around though.

Hirano, you coward.

Hi I know you mentioned you being aroace just a couple days ago and I was wondering if maybe you could explain more in depth about how you found out your sexuality and what not? If it’s not too personal…

I’ve always sorta struggled since I haven’t had any crushes as a kid except for maybe one and that’s just cause ppl kept asking me who mine was… so I don’t even think it was a legit crush?? So not only do I not know who (looks,gender, that sorta thing) I would like … am I ever gonna like someone to even find that out???

I know you said Superman on the new trailer was hot ahaha so do you still experience that sort of physical attraction? I’ve been told when people question which gender they like, to pick which one looks more attractive to them but I’ve never really experienced that sort of physical attraction so I can’t tell that way either…

I think any thought of a crush forming was more towards their personality as well. Looks I guess are more of a second thought I think..? Even then I can’t tell if this is “you’re such an awesome person I wanna be besties with you” really strong feeling or an actual “I wanna date this person” feeling.

The only person I’ve gotten really close to discerning it as officially crush was someone from work who was older by a good amount… which can be/is pretty weird.. Lots of people my age are just a little too crazy for me.. I guess??? Idk and even now I can’t tell if that was just “glad to have someone as a friend sorta thing. I’m really sorry if this is too personal and u don’t have to respond to the ask directly either I was just hoping on maybe some advice for some clarity if possible… as I get older and realize I’ve never dated/had that sorta infatuation it feels so excluding at times.

Also I am hoping for a feast AND desert with this “‘soon’ but still haven’t posted it two days later” chapter plz and thank you

I hope this made sense and wasn’t too invasive!! :(

when i was younger, i was reading about this kind of thing online and i didn't find anyone like me. i think it's about time that i come full circle and make my own post. i've got like half of my frontal lobe developed and i've been figuring out a lot of things about myself these past couple of years, and there might be someone out there who needs to hear this (´-`ʃ♡ƪ) so if anyone is interested, below the cut is a very long talk about how i figured some stuff out

when it came to my sexuality, i only started considering it when i was in middle school, going into high school. (which would be when i was 12-13). that's when a lot of my friends started having crushes on our classmates and i realized they were being serious when they said they had crushes on people. they had figured out their identities as being a lesbian or bisexual, and they had relationships. (or as close as you can get to that in middle school).

i started to panic and think that i was lagging behind. and i really started to repress my feelings about dating people and romance and what that would entail. i found out through the internet about being pansexual. at the time i thought "oh, they have the same attraction for everyone!" and i slapped it on myself because i thought it would fix everything. i even came out to my parents as pansexual and for a while i left it at that.

i had an idea of romance. i shipped characters in media and i knew that my parents really loved each other. there were a lot of examples for love in my life that weren't the best, but having two parents that actually did care about each other made me want that for myself in the future...

but that's in the future. i personally didn't think about it much because we were still kids. for a while i didn't think anyone else was being serious, that they were just trying it out quicker than i was ready for. it was a strange feeling. i guess i still believed we were playing make believe, or copying what we saw on TV or with our parents. often when my friends asked me who i had a crush on and i felt pressured, i would pick someone that i thought i wouldn't mind dating if i had to. someone would be "interested" in me and i would say "okay" because i felt like that was part of this game we all seemed to be playing. i've had a few "boyfriends" over the years that got people off my back when i had them. in elementary school it was this boy that didn't pick on me, another boy that was my parents' friend's kid. in middle school i had an online boyfriend and a couple of "crushes" on friends of friends, someone just a little far out of my circle that didn't shake anything up. my friends would help me get together with a person and they'd seem so excited for me, so i just went along with it.

then it hit me that they weren't doing it just to do it, or playing pretend. they actually felt something when they were interacting with their crushes. i started to reread books and rewatch media and really grasp what they were saying. the feeling of having butterflies inside them when they talked to each other, blushing when something was said? i thought that was about a general anxiety people get when talking to other people. but there was always something more to it that i just... didn't get. no matter how hard i tried, i didn't understand what that something was.

then started coming the pressure to do the same, to fit in. that's why i accepted a label of pansexual. it was "strange" but at least it didn't feel "broken." i could deal with people telling me that i was wrong for liking more than just boys. but to say that there was no one on the table gave me an anxiety i'd never felt before. like i would be letting down my family, that the entire course of my life would shift. i wouldn't walk down the aisle because there would be no wedding. my parents wouldn't have grandkids. my friends would go on to have lives completely separate from mine, we'd have nothing in common anymore. so i stuffed it all down and made myself believe that this wasn't who i was.

it really mixed me up because i did have a couple of "crushes" that felt real. there were a few girls i was friends with, there were boys in my classes (usually class clowns...) that i'd get excited to see every day. when i thought about dating them, it felt nice. any other time when i thought about dating someone, i'd get this awful feeling in my gut that i later realized was dread. i was fully convinced it was different from all the other times. that "different" that i didn't understand before.

it was different! but not for the reason i thought it was. those people made me laugh, they listened and remembered things about me (that i didn't get much of during that time of my life), and most of all: they didn't like me back.

there were literally no expectations in their eyes for things to go away from friendship. and i think that's what made me like them, but not as a crush. it was relief. there was always an expectation for other people (specifically boys) that if we were friends, things would stray from friendship at some point. not with these people. that relief, combined with all the other good feelings they gave me (class clowns...) made it so much easier to fall into a friendship that i didn't have with other people. and i was in denial for so long that i thought of those friendships as crushes because they were different from other friendships.

there were a couple of times that i got close to having to face my sexuality and it felt like a gut punch. there were a couple of people i was friends with (that i didn't have crushes on) that i had previously thought "if i had to pick someone" about. but when they actually told me their feelings, i would run away. in one case, i literally ran away. i changed my entire routine so that i wouldn't have to face them. and i'm a creature of habit, so of course i took that step back and asked myself why i was having such a strong reaction. my friends didn't understand why i was so panicked about these confessions. especially because before, i "liked" people and had no problem with it.

part of my feelings were that no one would actually like me (which only furthered me not wanting/not considering romance). some of the confessions that i got were fake/pranks, and it would really mess with my head. i wasn't skinny, i knew i was strange and awkward, and i could be very brash and stubborn. i had a weird sense of humor and i missed social ques. i got a lot of "you should be a lawyer" and complaints of being bossy when i was growing up and i always knew they really meant "you're a bitch." i wouldn't understand why i felt so othered from my peers like that until i learned i was possibly autistic, and i only found that out a couple years ago. combined with being plus sized and not conventionally attractive, i didn't get much breathing room. if i wasn't perfectly calm all the time, if i didn't force myself to be overly nice to people, and if i wasn't funny, i'd get told i was "draining" to be around.

i did a lot to try and fit in. i kept my hair long because people would compliment it, i tried to wear skirts instead of pants/shorts, i'd wear comfy clothes and the like so i didn't look like i was trying too hard. a lot of my personality was forced and i was the one who was being drained instead. i ended up having to get a radar for when people were just messing with me. and so when a real confession happened, there was a combination of anxiety about if they were faking or not, doubt that they could actually like me, and then a deep rooted fear about if they were being serious.

instead of the relief i should have felt when i learned it was a real confession, i still felt scared. it would be the same anxiety as if someone asked me to get on the world's tallest roller coaster in the world and i had just seen a chunk of the roller coaster fall in front of me.

that part made it even harder to come to grips with my sexuality. i thought if i gave up on being a hopeless romantic, i'd be giving in to all the times someone told me "I just don't see you dating anyone." being unlovable was a death sentence in my eyes. and it didn't help that i've lived in the south all my life. i was already strange and going to hell for a multitude of things. turning around and telling them that i was going against every expectation set of me to get married and have kids by 24????

(i should clarify that my parents had never been the ones to put this in my mind. when i came out as pansexual, they had only been confused about what the hell that was. the rest of their reaction was "i mean... we could already sort of tell." and while my parents had hopes for my future, i knew deep down that while they'd be a little sad not to have those expected memories with me, they wouldn't turn me away. and they would very likely be happy to create a whole different set of memories with me.)

i have my current friends to thank for me coming to terms with who i am. by the time i was in college i had started to question everything. my middle school friend group had been majority queer but we had gone to different schools or just faded apart. in high school, a majority of my time was spent in band. and while i was one of those people who had friends in a variety of friend groups, the closest friends i had were the people in my section that i sat next to every day. and in the present time, only a couple of them remained straight churchgoers. even though they've changed now just like i have, during high school i was a different story.

going to college opened me up to a far different experience. by this point i'd shifted from pansexual to bisexual. my college experience wasn't... ideal. or really healthy in any aspect. but meeting these people did dislodge the mindset i'd had for most of my life. and my current friends have changed my life. the fear that i had about being aromantic has now become the relief i needed my entire life. it doesn't feel broken, or wrong, or strange. sometimes i do feel sad about it, or question if this is really the case. maybe one day i'll meet someone who shows me that "different" feeling i'd been waiting to understand. but i grew past the societal expectation of needing a partner to be fulfilled in life and i'm so much happier.

life doesn't need to be about that partner. i have many, many friends and family to grow old with. i have a godchild!! one day i'll have my own house to celebrate holidays and achievements at, to host my friends and family. i'll have pets that i love and i'll have my own career, and i'll be happy because i never needed to fit expectations to be happy.

when it comes to anything sexual, it's sort of the same feeling as when i had "crushes" on people in real life. though also different? i don't look at real people and feel an attraction beyond knowing that they are attractive, objectively. i can feel attraction sometimes in a physical sense, but i have no interest in having anything personal happening between us. a fictional character has no interest in me, and so it feels safe to think that they're hot and to express it. like sure, yeah, i have a crush on them! i get giggly when Captain Smoker from One Piece shows up on the screen, and the new Superman makes me think "oh! okay!" but if they were real and in front of me? i'd probably... lose that attraction, like it was never there.

here's the kicker, though, and might sound weird at first: you don't have to put a label on yourself

yeah, i do consider myself aroace. but the world is ever changing and so is the human experience. it helps to have a basis, to understand your feelings and work through them. it's nice to be like "there is a name for this" and to find a community through that. i'm not saying there's anything wrong about figuring out your identity and saying "I'm this, this, and this!" nothing at all wrong with that. but we're all figuring ourselves out, all the time. it doesn't end when you put the label on. you have the entire rest of your life to continue learning things about yourself and the world around you. i wish i'd known in middle school that i didn't have to rush it, that i have every opportunity to take it one phase at a time. a human life seems fleeting, especially when you're looking back on your past and feeling like the time flew by. but that's just our perception of it as we look back.

what i mean to say it that it's okay to backtrack. it's okay to change your mind. it's okay to not put a label on it. it's okay to put a label on it. it's okay not to tell anyone, if you don't want to. it's okay to say "i'll figure it out." and it's okay if you don't. it's okay if you sit up in bed one day when you're 60 years old and go "that's what it is." as long as you live your life listening to yourself and not trying to meet an expectation you think you have to, then you're doing it right.

and it's okay if you lived your life like i did, and you didn't do any of that. being a human is messy and that's part of life. you're not gonna get it right the first time- but even then, sometimes you will! there's a nuance and a spectrum to everything you experience. take pride in who you are even if you don't have a clue yet. be kind to yourself. you're gonna be okay.

MELUSINE CREATOR MEETING PAHSIV

MELUSINE CREATOR MEETING PAHSIV ‼️‼️‼️

PAHSIV PAHSIV PAHSIV YIPPEE!!!!!!! SHE'S SO CUTE

one day, you're taking a rare trip to the upper world with Foul Legacy, needing a bit of sunlight after spending several weeks down in Merusea Village. he sweeps you up into his arms and takes you to a distant forest, all surrounded by trees and mist and moss, where not even the Treasure Hoarders dare step in. but to you, both protected by an Abyssal monster and hidden from a cruel, unforgiving world, it's lovely and fascinating. Legacy's steps are several of yours, so he can easily keep up with you as you explore the foliage and fantastical reed pipes. his lilac ruff of fur bristles when he hears the unmistakable howl of Riftwolves, taking your mitten-like hand and gently tugging you away from the old, rotted willow that looms in the distance, wandering towards a lake dancing with wind and floating globes of water. it calms in your presence, though, and you're dancing among the lakelight lilies when your antennae twitch at the pitter-patter of small, stumpy feet

"Creator! Creator! Pahsiv!"

a Melusine with brilliant fuchsia eyes happily darts through the grass, tapping her feet in a little excited jig as she stands before you and Foul Legacy, whose wings flutter in surprise. she skips in a circle around you in particular, examining you at all angles but never touching as her tail wags. after a moment you stick your hand out to shake, and she stares and tilts her head before extending her own and giving you a light, friendly smack on the palm

she's a Melusine even stranger than you- or perhaps, like you, she's not a Melusine at all. but she's friendly and curious, with a sharp interest in tidalgas, and whatever fear she had of Foul Legacy evaporates when you explain that he's a friend, dancing around and allowing herself to be picked up and placed on Legacy's shoulder opposite of you. he's strong, after all- carrying two not-Melusine is nothing to him! you gift your new friend some tidalga you were carrying, much to her delight, and she pats her mittens over the shimmering patterns across your body with a knowing look in her eyes

she doesn't come with you when you leave Erinnyes, but somehow you know that she'll be there to greet you if you ever come to visit again

[kyouka-supremacy]

i think atsushi has slowly, almost imperceptibly, become an expert at reading akutagawa. and sometimes, it catches akutagawa off-guard. atsushi can sense when something’s wrong. even through the driest, most neutral responses. one of the most quietly moving things about akutagawa is how honest he is. but he undercuts his own feelings constantly, like he doesn’t believe they matter. atsushi sees through all of that. maybe even better than akutagawa himself by now.

he doesn’t always say something. sometimes, he just gives akutagawa one of his soft, steady looks—the “you don’t have to hide from me, you know.” and it stuns akutagawa every time. because that look makes space. it makes room for feelings he usually buries. and so, slowly, he starts giving his emotions a little more of a fair chance. if the weretiger thinks they’re worth paying attention to... perhaps he can try. he’s not always successful. defensiveness still comes first. it’s instinctive, a shield before he even knows he’s raised it. but that care, that quiet attention atsushi offers—it sticks in his head. it stays. and somehow, that starts to matter.

(i hope you feel better soon. the sheer love and care you put into your blogs is so wonderful. so genuine. it inspires me to be freely passionate about the things i love too!! <3)

Oh God. Oh God, I love all of this so much 😭😭😭 This is all so true. I agree with this on a spiritual level. The thing is, that Atsushi is canonly perceptive of people in general. It's made explicit in chapter 51 (below), but you can also tell how acute he is by how quick he was to clock the ministry of justice official for lying to him in chapter 57.

The thing is, this already established skill of his only gets amplified tenfold when it's Akutagawa because- you already know why. Because their hearts beat in sync and they know each other better than they know themselves. So yeah, Atsushi would notice. Would immediately realize if something is up with Akutagawa, no matter that Akutagawa's complex relationship with his own emotions and ever swinging temperament makes it hard to tell. To me it's especially heartwarming that oftentimes Atsushi will realize Akutagawa has something that's bothering him before Akutagawa realizes it himself. And another very sweet trope, when in fics Atsushi meets Beast Akutagawa, and he's identical to Akutagawa in everything; yet Atsushi can tell immediately, from a very raw, very visceral feeling, that that's not his Akutagawa. Because he just knows him so well! Not from anything that he can pinpoint in particular, but rather just a primal feeling of recognition for his other half when he sees it.

Not to mention Akutagawa's utter shock and disorientation at this. Because to be read so accurately, even back when they were still at their knife-at-each-other's-throats stage, left him bare and defenseless all of sudden, with no notice or time to prepare. It's different from how it was with Dazai, who didn't read Akutagawa as much as he controlled him to feel the emotions he wanted to, coerced the emotional reaction he wanted out of him. Atsushi doesn't do that; he simply understands. And that only doubles down the impact that has on Akutagawa after he's realized it, because no one had cared to understand him before; and it's terrifying.

I love how you described Atsushi handling it 🥺 This is yet again something that makes me very soft about them (although, I realize I'm saying that for everything they do ahah), the way they're... Not accustomed to look after each other rather than hurt; but there'll come a point where they'll want to, whether they're good at it or not. And Atsushi *is* a little good at it, because, kindness comes easier to him, right? Perhaps not when direct to Akutagawa, but even then, he's determined to learn. And the sskk progression of going from a place where they can only hurt each other, to one where they care for and nurse the other at the best of their abilities is endlessly touching.
