Every song from Short Circuits 03 by The Garages and how it relates to Skyblock Kingdoms

Because I'm normal. Some background:

WHAT IS SHORT CIRCUITS 03? - SC3 is an album by the garages that came out in February 2022, parallel to the last short circuit season in blaseball (long story). One of the more cohesive albums that the garages made, it's about time, how fickle everything is, and what you do with what you've got. And also has the funniest disstrack ever made. (Also I'm on it)

WHY SBK? - Because there's something so finite about skyblock due to the void that's under everyone's feet, and also they're dealing with god nonsense too. So it works. And I can do whatever I want so there.

OKAY NOW ONTO THE COMPARISONS

diary entry 7/15-7/28 + fourteen days is not enough for my screams to reach your ears: O.S.S.H.A. Avid + Avoid. The horror of realizing everything can swallow you whole so quickly and being unable to stop it. There's so much you want to say. And do. And you can do none of it. So you just have to sit there. Avoid has been in limbo for 1000 years. There is so much he wants to do. So much he wants to say. He can't, there's no time and all the time in the world (if anyone's out there somewhere between me and earth / or somewhere far out in the dark places / I hope my words have brought you some comfort / for one last time, this is Alice, at the end of everything.)

will: Sapphire. Just. Everything about Sapphire. Her imprisonment in Ruby's body and how they've been there for seemingly eons and need to get out (i know my chances are gone / odds almost one thousand hundred to one / but while there's still one / one shot / im searching for a way out / i'll keep searching for a way out), the relationship between Saph + Nav as well as Ruby + Viking in general and how push and pull it is (free me, take me, see you on the other side, let me go). This is the song that made me start thinking about SBK in connection to this album as a whole because it's SO in parallel

STRIKEOUT: Doovid. I continuously describe Doovid as a webkinz soaked in milk (which he is) but he's also a lot of fun! And this song is sososososo fun but is also about the most loser webkinz soaked in milk guy ever. To be fair Doovid is not a loser, but he has the like. Vibe of someone who walked into a party without knowing anyone due to the fact that he is the only average guy on the server full of people CONSTANTLY going through it (when my horoscope said that "my life would be changed" / i thought it meant that i would get to play college basketball / but i'm here, and i hear them call my name / i guess i should go). This song could also be about Milkman if you squint.

hymn to a non-allergic reaction: my song!!! this can be taken in two/three ways- leon simping for olm (if you wanna be funny) or olm possessing vintage (if you wanna be angsty) or O.S.S.H.A. Avid tubing his friends. Hey what if god showed up and wanted you to join his cult and in order to get you to do so he wrote you the most ineffective ad jingle known to man. But also what if he made not-so-subtle threats towards your friends and alluded to your role during the end of the world (so prep your family, say goodbye [tell all of your friends goodbye] / for the sake of peace they all may die). What if you wanted literally nothing to do with this (there is another god in the sky that calls my name. i do not want to listen to it, for it does not abide by science, but nothing in this world makes sense anymore, so f*ck it all, i guess.) but couldn't get away from it so you just. Gave up. Maybe this is also about Fool but idk much about him so bear with me.

two week world: less lore and more meta- SBK and it's community! This is a small community but it's one full of love and collaboration and we will cherish it for a long time. What the SBKers do here is gonna stick with us (maybe one day our light will guide someone home).

just bad: birch please. thats it thats the whole thing. if there's a line to compare it to. were like the netherlands weather in that just like it were bad. i take no pleasure in announcing the facts.

OKAY SO THE FRESH ANALYSIS

ME DEARLY BELOVED FOLLOWERS, you probably started wondering why I like Fresh so much. Why I have been lovingly rotating him in my mind like a rotisserie chicken.

SO ANYWAYS I AM GOING TO DO MY BEST TO WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING I’VE READ ABOUT HIM. This is not complete simply because I haven’t read EVERYTHING on the old RP blog CQ ran for him. This is also mostly from the perspective of his character so other facts like Fresh using he/they pronouns and having furby bombs and canonically liking kissing (okay actually that does play into his character slightly) won’t be the primary focus of this analysis. This also, All, my own interpretation.

This analysis will be in three sections: His original characterization, his Monologue, and finally what could be inferred about how how his character changed due to the Event that gave us the Monologue.

His Original Characterization

The first thing you need to know about Fresh is that his goofy 90s persona was chosen specifically because they thought it would be non-threatening. This plays into a major part of his personality, which is that, baseline, everything he does is for survival. Once everything needed for that is met and taken care of the next major component is that he does whatever he wants to do to entertain himself.

He possesses people to live, but torments people on occasion (not too often, making enemies would go against the survival thing, unless he’s assessed that they would be a harmless enemy perhaps). All his weapons are innocuous at first glance to once again pass himself off as non threatening (oh hey the furby bombs come into play here, huh, he also uses a wiffle bat).

He doesn’t feel most emotions, but he can feel a few, (and at one point CQ said that the longer Fresh is in the same host the more he can feel? Not sure if that still applies, take that with a grain of salt) but those emotions are fear, anger, and amusement primarily (though affection and others are not off the table, it would just take A Lot of work for him to get to that point). Primarily his emotions that he portrays are all ones he’s imitating based on what he thinks are non threatening reactions. He easily pretends to be chipper or indignant but he doesn’t truly feel most of these emotions. According to posts written by CQ he is not genuinely flirty though him imitating “safe” emotions might put him in situations where he does that (most likely just to entertain himself, which is the primary reason he likes kissing. He doesn’t understand why kissing is meant to be important and does it because he’s amused by people’s reactions to it. Absolutely no thoughts [about kissing] behind those glasses.)

He is also very full of himself. He thinks he’s better than other people (but obviously he recognizes that as being a negative/”unsafe” thing to voice so he keeps it to himself and privately believes it). He thinks he’s better and deserves good things (this is directly stated in The Monologue), which is another reason he amuses himself by scaring people. IT’S IS ALSO A RESULT OF ANOTHER MAJOR COMPONENT OF HIS PERSONALITY: He has an ideology that people are primarily driven by selfishness. This is likely a direct result of him being a literal parasite who needs to harm others to live. He is really unable/unprepared to comprehend that people can care about others so much that they would put their loved ones before themselves. When this is challenged it typically makes him irrationally angry and ready to hurt people (even ones he “pretends” are his friends, and even though this contradicts his need to survive at any cost) to prove to them that they should never trust anyone. This is also why on occasion in a few comics CQ has done Fresh will offer up being possessed to desperate people with the lure that they won’t feel pain anymore (which is implied to be a lie because people who can read souls and Fresh himself say they can hear the host screaming, possibly in agony).

THE MONOLOGUE

Okay so I’m going to explain the events leading up to The Monologue, and then I’m going to share the whole monologue here, then I will analyze it (plus here is the link to the post with the monologue and a more in-depth recap of events from Fresh’s old RP blog)

There was a huge multi-blog RP event (these used to be very common, I don’t go to the RP scene anymore though so I’m not sure if they stopped or I just stopped seeing them, basically a whole bunch of blogs get together to RP through one big common event, typically a party that they are all attending) called the LoveBall that Fresh went to with the plan to infect as many people as possible with parasites he produced and from there infect the whole multiverse (which he claims is to “help” them all). Fresh directly states that he’s not a Sans here, even though this was before his redesign when he was still possessing one (STARES DIRECTLY AT EVERYONE CLAIMING I AM A SANS SIMP FOR LOVING FRESH).

Anyways he gets confronted by another Not Sans, who takes him to The Last Corridor (judgement hall) and Fresh is sure he’s going to die, though he still tries to act unbothered. They talk a bit and it is revealed to Fresh that he is a fictional character (he could see the whole multiverse was code too which is a fun detail), he’s clearly taken aback but still tries to play it off as it’s explained to him that him and the other Not-Sans and everyone they’ve ever known are Nothing, and that it would be for the best if he doesn’t try to get OUR attention.

SO NOW WE COME TO THE MONOLOGUE ITSELF WHICH IS SO GOOD THAT I WANT TO EAT IT. Anyways:

…….I’ve thought about a lot of stuff lately. Ya know. All these inner thoughts I ignore or avoid listenin to. And I realized. Ya know. Maybe I wasn’t lookin to ‘help everyone’. It was some excuse, ya know? I like messin with people. I like the concept that in some way, I’m more clever, or amusing, or hilarious, or-…. simply put, I’m BETTER then the rest of em. I’m better and I deserve to get what I want, and I wanna mess with people and I want to hurt people, and since, ey, I gotta possess people to survive, I might as well ENJOY the process as well, ya know dawg? I wanted to take over the multiverse because yeah, it extended far beyond somethin so noble as ‘helpin’ people, I wanted to take over because I COULD, and because it was FUN, and because I couldn’t be STOPPED. I wanted the power to enslave E͏̷͏V̨̀͜E̸͠͠R̡̢͠Y̸͢͟T҉̢͠H͏͜͞Ì̴̕N̡̨̕G͡. The power to enslave everything. But. I can’t do that. Can I?

B̷͠E͢͝͡C̕͠͝Ą҉̀́̀U̡̢S̀͏E҉́͢͟ ̷͜͞Ó̡̢F̢̧͝ ̶Ỳ̨́O̢̢̢Ù̶͡.̨̛ ̵͜͜R͏̷͢Ì́Ǵ͝͞H̡̡͟T́͞?̛͜͠ You’re the voices Error hears. Aren’tcha. The voices Error always talks about. Always chats with. You’re ONE OF THEM. BEYOND THE CODE. YOU’RE WHAT I WAS WARNED ABOUT. YOU’RE WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. BEYOND ALL OF MY KNOWN EXISTENCE. BEYOND ‘THE GAME’. You’re toying with Error. Askin him questions. We’re all your toys. Every single thing I’ve seen, every Universe, every single creature I’ve come across or possessed, every bit of data…. is something you are capable of manipulating, right? And now.I got your attention. Just like he warned me against.

….y-ya know. I won’t stop. Right. I’m gonna keep possessin peeps, and runnin around and having a radical time.

That’s what you WANT, right?? That’s what you’re lookin for, to be amused, and have a laugh! Well you’re in luck! THATS WHAT THE FRESH IS HERE TO DO! No worries, my good ol chums!!I’ll keep it up. Everything.

Right?? THATS WHY YOU’RE TALKING TO ME NOW. Right?? You are amused by me!!! Ah hahaha wicked brah! I’m glad! I’ll just- keep–

I-I…. I’ll just. Keep up my dated lingo. I’ll heelie right into every situation and make a joke of myself, and then when peeps drop their guard I’ll do somethin creepy or hilarious– OR BOTH! Ah hahahahahahaha. That’s what you want. THATS WHAT YOU WANT?

….don’t kill me. Don’t kill me. Or worse. Whatever you’re capable of….

I… I’ll do what you want!!

I PROMISE. just….just.

Don’t kill me. Please.

So one of my favorite details here in the monologue is the fact that it starts with him outright stating that he thinks he’s better than everyone else and it ends with him begging us not to kill him. His hubris hit an unmovable wall at 100 mph.

I really feel like the monologue speaks for itself, so onto the next part!

Post Event Characterization Implications

So one of the things that could probably be inferred by this is that all three of his major motivators, His Need to Survive, His Want To be Entertained/Amused, and His Ideology of Selfishness are basically shoved into a blender. I’m sure he still believes in inherent selfishness but his ego about it should be at least slightly bruised, knowing that he’s just as microscopic and inconsequential as anyone else in the multiverse. As for his need to survive and want to be entertained, they’ve both been subverted to different extents. His want to be entertained is completely subverted where instead of being the one being entertained by bothering people, he is now the one wanting to do the entertainment because they believe it is necessary for their survival.

I imagine he is being eaten alive every day by the worry that he’s not being interesting enough and will be abandoned and effectively killed for not entertaining us enough. Though he might be able to push that out of his mind most of the time to continue what he normally does, because he might be able to convince himself that we have to like him for who he is to some extent or he wouldn’t have gotten this far, which seems very plausible given how good he is at hiding his fear and anxiety during his confrontation with the other Not-Sans.

Anyways he’s a bastard and he’s great and I am unfortunately in love with him. He probably wouldn’t be down for it but I will still imagine holding his hand and then picking him up and slam dunking him into a trash can (lovingly).

[briliantlymad]

Anyway. The ObiAniDala thought. The obianidala thought that was in my mind that's been marinating like a rotisserie chicken. Sith! Obiwan and Dark Padme lets goooo

Established rulers of the galaxy Sith!ObiDala who after murdering palpy are taking great pains to ensure the galaxy is shaped under their "gentle hands". They're looking for Anakin who got away from the temple during order 66 and has joined the rebels.

Anakin was never Obiwan's padawan. Obiwan left the order cus qui-gon died and he fell to the dark side while fighting maul and stayed to help padme who's very very disillusioned with the republic when they sat twiddling their fingers even after she begged them to save the lives of her people. Their relationship develops from there with obidala falling in love and plotting against the republic. Padme stays on for a 3rd term before giving way to queen jamillia who insists padme be the naboo senator. Obiwan is approached by darth sidious to become his apprentice sometime during this entire thing. and he's like yeah sure how about a partnership instead. (which of course palpy hates and he totally thinks padme is the reason for obiwan not fully comitting to the dark side, so he totally plots to kill her)

They don't meet anakin again until the events of Ep 2 where padme and obiwan totally see padawan anakin and they're like oh oh and anakin is enamored with them. full on puppy eyes, staring at them whenever he thinks they're turned away T _T

cue very sweet stolen moments while mace windu, who took on anakin as his padawan is like ??? right in front of my salad????

anyway they fall in love there's definitely some manipulation some mind tricks to keep anakin from uncovering their plans as they try to outmaneouver palpy.

anyway. i've been rotating this fic idea in my head for the longest time. i feel like this would definitely turn into a multi-chap fic tbh

[mithrilhearts]

hi Maeve!!! Heartstones sounds interesting as well but i was really hoping for Thief of Hearts to pass through to the second round. i haven't lost hope yet haha!! would you mind sharing a little tidbit about the fic? a ficlet, further details on the premise, i'll take anything!! ❁

Hi Keet!! I'm so excited you're asking about this fic! It's kind of a newer addition to my "ideas" list, inspired by some artwork by @aimless-passerby 👀

Anyway, I don't have a lot on paper yet for this fic, I keep rotating it around in my brain like a rotisserie chicken and have a general idea of it that is so exciting to me! So I'll share some of what I have!

In short: in my brain I have it planned from start to finish, but on paper...haha....

Bilbo retired from his life of gentle burglary years ago to care for his ailing mother. With Belladonna's illness getting worse, he seeks out the aid of an enchanter, who is said to give people anything they want in exchange for a little task. Bilbo's task is to burgle one little stone from one lonely mountain under the nose of its king. Lucky for him, Erebor is preparing to host a grand party in hopes of finding a spouse for the oldest prince. It's the perfect distraction, and no one will see him coming.

We have Bilbo Baggins, who used to live a life of burglary, and made something of a name for himself through such means, who has taken the backseat to care for his ailing mother, Belladonna. Now, you've read the fic summary, so I won't recap that, but I think my favorite part of this fic for me as a writer, is the kind of reverse Cinderella aspects I have about it? Maybe?

Just imagine Cinderella secures an invite to the Prince's Ball in order to steal from him, play him like a fiddle, and live to tell the tale in order to better someone else. That's what I'm after. Whimsical fairytale elements. But Thorin won't be so easily played...or will he? Guess we'll find out. He's been living under the thumb of his grandfather, Thror, for so long, who has worked with Thrain to arrange this party, in order to help find a spouse for Thorin, etc etc.

I know it's not a lot of new information, and I'm REALLY excited about this fic (always happy to talk about it!!) and I'll be putting my brain-map on paper very soon.

If you guys wanna vote for "Thief of Hearts" to make to the next round of my plot bunny battle, check out the link here! It's SUCH a close race!

[padawan-crevette]

You know how sometimes a piece of media, or even a specific character, will happen just at the right moment?

Well you see, the thing is, sometimes you'll only realize after days or weeks (or months, years even) of blissful brainrot the impact it's actually had on you. This is what happened to me after the Arcane finale. (It's all good things, I promise. Putting this under the cut because it's a whole lot of rambling.)

Lately I've been interacting with this fandom (and especially the jayvik side of it) more than I have with any other in the last few years, and it's mostly in the wake of that finale. More specifically the jayvik storyline. Especially the last talk Jayce and Viktor have. I keep talking about disability and internalized ableism, about both of them taking care of each other, and about how Viktor in s1 is singlehandedly responsible for me finding a mobility aid that works with my fucked joints. And yet it took until today for me to realize the impact it's all had beyond this, beyond the sheer love and delight I've felt looking at all the good content out here.

Winter is hard, cold weather makes my joint pain worse than usual, but since it lasts for months I tend to reevaluate my baseline and push too far too often. I forget how much pain is too much, I forget that thinking "I should be able to do this" doesn't mean "I should actually do this" or "I am physically capable of doing this". Even when I want to do the thing. I'll remind my partners and friends to rest when they need, but forget that it also applies to me, that just because I may need some form of rest every day it doesn't make it any less real or necessary.

I look at Viktor and say "his disability does not make him any less worthy of love", I think of Jayce fixing his leg brace and go "he does it because he cares and out of love", I listen to what Jayce says and think "he's right, Viktor needs healing but not fixing", I look at Viktor realizing he didn't need to change to be a beautiful person. And then after days of rotating these two in my mind like a sparkly rotisserie chicken, today a coworker very naturally and very kindly takes my disability into account and I catch myself thinking "I don't deserve this, I should be able to do it anyway, if I can make myself walk there it doesn't matter if I'm in pain, nobody sees the pain so it's irrelevant". And it's like everything grinds to a halt.

Stupid jayvik brainrot making me sit down and take a long hard look at ableist thought patterns I hadn't even noticed. And I say this with all the love in my heart, truly.

I'm not quite sure this has a point beyond just wanting to share, but I'm feeling a whole lot of big emotions about it and I think that's pretty fitting considering what caused it in the first place.

Sometimes a character tricks you into aggressively loving yourself through them, and really, I think that's pretty great.

[againstme]

wait i’m. wait. i’m sorrry i’m already going insane already but i.

@psychotic-gerard @dysphoria-things are you different people. i think my brain has merged you together if you are different people. but if you’re not i also feel like my world is exploding.

i think my brain has just been rotating these accounts combined as one in my brain like a rotisserie chicken. also my brain feels like goo so please keep that in mind

like. i . you are different people right like my brain is just bouncing one brain cell around like crazy rn right? but what if i’m wrong anyways hi uh

[scootsaboot]

I'll ask you about Josuke, I wanna hear about Josuke 🥺

What Josuke thoughts are on your mind rn?

omg 😭

i'll be honest i'm constantly rotating him in my mind like a rotisserie chicken so the thoughts arent always coherent but...

i think part of why I like josuke so much and why he's so compelling is that despite his "delinquent" looks and layer of nonchalance he wears like a well-fitted jacket, he cares DEEPLY and doesn't actually want to hurt anyone. i've always been a sucker for the delinquent with a heart of gold trope and he fits it to a T. Like when Jotaro showed up, Josuke didn't HAVE to apologize for his very existence causing strife in the family of the man who got his mom pregnant and never looked back. he didn't have to be understanding about it. he could have lashed out and told jotaro to fuck off and i don't think anyone would have blamed him for it because growing up half-white (and gay imo) in a small japanese town and being raised by a single mom (in the 80s and 90s especially!!!) could not have been easy. he's been othered since the day he was born thanks to joseph (even if joseph didn't intentionally abandon him). AND STILL!!! the first thing he does is apologize.

and then we get to the fight with the nijimura bros right. he ends up beating okuyasu pretty handily (ha) but acknowledges that his stand is pretty scary. AND THEN ... he watches the guy who just tried to kill him, who has a stand with a terrifyingly dangerous ability, get absolutely obliterated by his own brother and not only drags him OUT of danger, getting himself injured in the process, he HEALS him!! this guy who he has no business to like or trust not to attack him again--in fact that's the whole reason okuyasu came back into the house to begin with!!! josuke heals him because the well of his empathy is practically bottomless. even after that, he lets okuyasu into his house + life and the rest is history.

i think josuke feels a lot and feels it very deeply but because of all the ways he's different (stand, race, sexuality, pride, sense of duty) he stuffs anything that might make him look weak or vulnerable so far down that he's able to pretend that it doesn't exist. he's able to pretend that nothing really gets to him. until someone makes fun of his hairstyle and he explodes--which seems like a very silly character trait until you realize all these other things are constantly building up inside him, things he pretends don't bother him, things he brushes off in the moment and tries not to think about. they're adding up anyway and when he's finally forced to release some of those emotions, they come out angry and violent and sudden. and then it's over because he's let off enough steam to put the lid back on. and ofc thanks to his stand there are zero consequences for this (and everyone who gets the worst of josuke's rage "deserves it"......don't they? <- thoughts that keep josuke up at night years after DIU.)

(Araki doesn't explore this at all but I think there's a very real chance that Josuke's intense rage fits could scare him a bit. He literally has no control over himself. That's pretty scary. if he didn't have his stand to bail him out after it would be even scarier....and you know. its definitely possible that he could just go too far one day)

he should go to therapy imo and get help with regulating his emotions but thats not as much fun as putting him thru the wringer (my favorite thing to do)

[neroushalvaus]

character: Evita

madre de todos los niños, de los tiranizados, de los descamisados, de los trabajadores, de la argentina... she, my current rotisserie chicken... thank you <3

My first impression: I didn't like her. I was prejudiced because it was an alw musical about a woman (#based of me tbh) and I thought she was basically a man's idea of what a powerful or a complicated woman looks like. And I don't think I was incorrect in every way.

My impression now: So idk for a long time I thought she was fine but then I went to see the Jyväskylä production, which, in my opinion, wasn't as good as the Pori production I had already seen, but still, something clicked. I think it was partly because I was in the first row and for the first time I wasn't watching Evita from afar or in a smudgy bootleg. And you know, when thinking of Evita before I had thought "it would be so cool if this was a musical about a woman trying to survive in the world created for men, altering between the two classic, dehumanizing roles men assign for women, being constantly frustrated in her hunger for power"... And then I watched Evita in Jyväskylä and I was like, hey, this could be a musical about that? Evita could be that character I have been wishing for. And then I proceeded to rotate her in my head like a kebab for the next six months.

Favorite thing about that character: Gahh!!! So many things. I think at the moment I would answer I like how in the ending Eva first feels so incredibly angry and frustrated with her body for giving in earlier than she was ready for, and then she can kind of sound like dying young was her own idea and it was all a part of her plan anyway. You know, not admitting defeat even in the end.

Least favorite thing: Bleh. General misogyny nonsense in how she's written. The way the role forces actresses to rip their vocal chords. The sort of "I can excuse authoritanism and populism but I draw the line at being a woman" attitude that's present in some lines.

Favorite line/scene: The first line to pop into my mind right away was "What I'd give for a hundred years / but the physical interferes every day more / Oh, my creator / What is the good of the strongest heart / in a body that's falling apart?". Idk head in my hands.

Favorite interaction that character has with another: The scene with Perón's mistress before Another Suitcase in Another Hall. I love how during Goodnight and Thank You it's easy to be on Evita's side as she uses sexuality to use the men however she wants to advance her career. It can be a delightful subversion of the woman who "sleeps her way up to the top", showing that Evita is perfectly aware of what she's doing and the men are the ones feeling used and fooled in the end. But when she interacts with the mistress, you see how the dynamic usually plays out: Mistress is the one discarded when Perón no longer needs her and Evita seemingly feels no solidarity with her, no "class solidarity", no "sisterhood". And isn't it kind of sexist of me to assume she should feel either of those just because she is a woman? Do I have any reason to demand she'd live to a moral standard I'm not expecting or Perón or any other man in this musical? It is very interesting.

A character that I wish that character would interact with more: Evita interacting with working class women in general is very important to me.

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character: This is embarrassing.. I have indicated before that I see similarities between Evita and my blorbo supreme Thomas Barrow. Something about them both being disenfranchised in society in different ways (Evita by being a working class woman, Thomas by being a gay man and a servant) and both trying to advance their rank by being cunning, scheming and charming. Evita is much more succesful in her endeavours, though.

A headcanon about that character: My personal interpretation of Che is that he is and should be a part of Evita, be it her conscience or her mirror or what she would have been if she had chosen a different path. He is not Guevara. And in this essay I will tell you why I would cast a woman to play this role and give the character similar clothes as Evita has in Buenos Aires...

A song that reminds of that character: I haven't thought about this outside of Evita songs... Maybe When the Chips are Down from Hadestown? It fits.

An unpopular opinion about that character: Everyone says they support women's wrongs, but when I, Eva Perón –

Favorite picture: I don't have a favourite! I'll pick this one by Jukka Kontkanen to mourn the fact I didn't see the Seinäjoki Evita. It's stunning.

.

send me a character and i'll answer some questions!

yeah, because they dont have a space player in the QB session it is technically unwinnable, so jack would have to scratch the session. the post-scratch session is control characters bc Why Not tbh, i think it makes sense. polaris is like a first guardian in this au (so she's like the becquerel to jesse's jade, if you catch my drift, including eventually prototyping herself, then self-prototyping with jesse's dreamself so that when jesse godtiers, polaris becomes a part of her. i just love that concept so much lol)

anyway back to the qb characters tho!! in this au, they all know each other cuz they play d&d together online. will is their dm. will and jack dont live together anymore (will went to study abroad and is staying with his & jack's grandfather, who is a scientist) hence why they play online. this is how they end up playing sburb together.

jack is the first to enter the game, followed by paul, then beth, then will last (he does NOT like jack being his server player, lol).

as far as who reaches godtier first... i have thought about this a lot actually and i think paul, being a seer of light, is the first to figure out how to godtier, but is not the first to do it because he is afraid to die. in the end, jack probably makes it to godtier first, entirely by accident (he probably does something stupid and gets horrendously injured, and someone-- maybe paul?-- carries him to his quest bed). after jack has reached godtier, paul asks his help with it, and gets jack to kill him >:3c because of course jack is the only one he would trust to do that >>>;3c

asdhjklhgfdsdfghjk ANYWAY. i am... probably not going to write this au anytime soon, as i have several other WIPs on my plate right now, but i like rotating it in my mind like a rotisserie chicken sometimes regardless. you know how it is.

[wreckmetoji]

you know your fic "Don't Call Me Friend" the millions knives one? you ruined me and I blame you . It was one of my first knives/reader fics and now every time i read a knives fic I compare it to yours mentally. you set a standard in my mind. anyway this is my way of telling u that ur fic is my fave knives fic and it's absolutely phenomenal. I will be rotating it in my head like a rotisserie chicken for the next week

Barry Seal, Maverick, and Ethan Hunt for the character bingo!

mav:

hes my punching bag hes my little slut hes my snuggle bear what cant he do 🤷‍♀️ also objectively my fav tc character bc my brainrot for him lasted the longest (except ethan who ive been into since like … 2018 ? but hes been on the backburner for a while). subjectively my fav tc character is still bill cage <3

but like you guys have no idea what is in my head about this man and his gay little friends from the year 1986. in my head i’ve written at least 1,000,000 words total of mav-centric top gun aus and its just a matter of writing them all down on paper 🫡 maybe if i dont finish them before i die ill leave the rest of them to my kids in my will

ethan:

WAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHH I ACTUALLY HAVE VERY MANY DEEP THOUGHTS AND META ANALYSES ABOUT THIS MAN IN MY HEAD YOU HAVE NO IDEA

but like oughsrhfdoshskg honestly i think that he is so slept on in the m:i fandom in favor of the other characters (cough* benji and brandt-) and i have a lot of angry feelings about how they treat him when hes literally a fictional character. but it’s ok i have my silly little aus and my far less silly and far more depressing little aus so this man is CONSTANTLY on rotation in the rotisserie chicken al dante that is my mind … the grind never stops with him <3

barry:

ha ha we are talking about the fictional tom cruise barry seal right … yeah well anyway i dont have THAT many thoughts about him except that he is very fuckable and very chompable and if i had been playing his wife they never would have been able to remove my hand from his ass once it got on there.

What prompted you to watch Sailor Moon as I'm curious when and why you started watching it to begin with (not in a rude way just in a curiosity way, I promise. It sounds like a good story.)

Oh, I didn't take it in a rude way, I think anyone who knows me casually has at one point or the other gone, "wait, how the fuck did YOU start watching SAILOR MOON?"

But hilariously, it's very "spiderman pointing meme" because I am continually surprised so many people got into watching it as adults!

I saw Sailor Moon for the first time as the DiC dub on, I think it was Fox? On Saturdays Mornings. I must have been around six, and I really enjoyed the superhero show for girls, and Sailor Venus was my favorite, and all that, blah blah.

Then at, oh 13? They had S on Toonami, though of course it was the Cloverleaf, and I consumed it in a very weird and awkward feeling which made me think I was gross. Anyway, do not recommend. Viz dub kicks both it, and, not to get murdered on the internet but I'm about to, DiC dub's ass.

Anyway, after S I knew nothing about it and mostly just rotated the concept around in my mind like a rotisserie chicken, but held on a fair amount of affection for it! Then in college, I walked into a girl's room in my dorm, she was weeby as hell and had the whole series on a burned DVD set, and I said something offhandedly about "Ah, when I was little, I used to love that show" and we started talking about it, and anyway, long story short I BINGE WATCHED the whole thing over our Winter Break one year.

I went hard into fandom writing fanfic in both English and Spanish, etc, and then faded out of the fandom for awhile until I came back into it, oh...eight years ago? About?

So I got into it as a kid, and that's how it got it's hooks into me, but really if we're being honest, I like what people DO with the characters and the show more than the show itself, a lot of the time. I think some of the most creative fanwork I've ever seen has come out of the Sailor Moon fandom.

A (Non)Comprehensive List of Reasons Why Everyone Should Vote for the Bumblebee Bats (Duke & Cass):

So first up: Duke is the ONLY member of the batfam who works during the day! Cass is far from the only one to work the night shift ofc, but she's also very well-known for being one of the few batkids who says on several occasions that she WANTS to be Batman & to carry on the mantle. She's a Major Night Bat & is in her element when working from the shadows.

More so cosmetic: their costumes complement each other and are nearly completely inverted! Duke's primarily a yellow/golden outfit with black & white accents, whereas Cass' Batgirl costume is primarily black with gold & occasional white accents.

Their most distinctive abilities also complement each other very well! Duke is also known as the only metahuman in the batfam, and one of his abilities (along with general light powers) is being able to see a few minutes into the past/future. This is especially useful for him in combat, when he can 'predict/see' his opponents moves. Similarly, Cass' greatest ability as a fighter, and a crucial part of her origin, was being raised from birth w/ no language, in an effort that 'body language' would be her 'native tongue'. She's able to read people so clearly, that she can tell what they're about to do before they do it. Notoriously, Duke's newness means that his ability isn't as useful around villains with more combat experience, and Cass' ability notoriously doesn't work as well with metas, and that's where they help each other grow! They've been shown sparring so many times in an effort to help better one another!

Another tick for them being foils is how Cass was raised by her father with the expectation to follow in his footsteps as an assassin, which she ultimately rejected. Whereas Duke only later found out after becoming a vigilante, that his bio-father is a supervillain (who then tried to tempt Duke into joining him too).

I said before and I'll say it again, they're the batfam's Apollo & Artemis and there's so many more things that I could say about their journeys as characters, as siblings, how their time on the same team helped them to grow. Hell I could bring up even smaller shit like how Cass couldn't (& refused to learn how to) read for the longest time, while one of Duke's major hobbies is being into fantasy & poetry and just!!!!

There's so many things about these two that has me constantly rotating them in my mind like rotisserie chicken, they're blorbos of all time & plz plz plz consider voting for them. They get constantly ignored or pushed aside in the batfam fandom itself, I'm honestly shocked they made it to the finals against so many odds. It would be absolutely INCREDIBLE if they won it all ;-; anyways thanks for coming to my talk, ted <3

SUN AND MOON DUO SHOWDOWN - FINALS

[highfaelucien]

Nesta/Az/Cassian for the ship thingy???👀🥺 we were deprived of their domesticity in the House of Wind

Pairings done so far: Luzriel

send me a pairing and I’ll give you some headcanons

falls asleep on the couch

-Honestly all of them. Azriel frequently finds Cassian and Nesta slumped naked on the couch after they had sex and then fell asleep afterwards. He makes a very miffed comment about them having fun without him. Cassian opens up a wing to invite him to join them, while Nesta sleepily flips him off. He acknowledges this is Nesta speak for the same thing.

-Cassian can absolutely sleep anywhere. In any conditions. The couch is absolute the least weird place Az and Nesta have found him napping in the townhouse.

-Nesta is guilty of staying up reading a really good book and then passing out. When Cassian finds her he flips to the end of the book and reads loudly from it to wake her up (though he doesn't ACTUALLY do this because she WILL kill him for spoiling her. So he makes up his own ending). Azriel, who is polite, picks up her book, marks the page for her, and takes her to bed.

-Azriel passes out, less likely on the couch, more so on his desk, working himself until he literally fades into unconsciousness. Nesta will deadass return the favour and pick him up and take him to bed. Where she will then grumpily sit on him so that when he wakes up he finds a tiny angry fae sitting on his chest glowering at him threateningly and telling him it is time to SLEEP. Azriel is a smart man so he doesn't budge. Cassian will ALSO carry him to bed when he finds him because Mother knows he needs it.

-Occasionally Cassian also finds Nesta and Azriel fallen asleep together on the couch after reading the same book together and having a lil book club over it. He fakes a HUGE tantrum over this because how COULD you do this without me!? you KNOW snuggles are my favourite thing ever!?!!?!?!?!?

makes friends with the neighbors

Cassian. Absolutely. The second they move in. And he puts in all of the 'friend making effort'. Azriel is a painful introvert and does not want to do this, but he's polite so he hovers awkwardly beside Cassian as he happily introduces himself.

Nesta stays inside and unpacks doing "something actually useful" as she pointedly yells at Cassian.

Cassian takes advantage of her absence to spin a long and boastful story to the neighbours about his dear wife Nesta. When he met her she had been cursed to just be the most hideous looking creature in existence. And you might think she'd have a good personality to balance that out? The sweetness of an angel, the most incredible kindness and generosity. Well you'd be WRONG. She's a monster. But I was patient and majestic, and I took care of her and cured her curse and- oh hello sweetheart.

As Nesta marches out of the house and GLOWERS at him then frogmarches him back inside. The neighbours are quite sure they will never see him alive again. Azriel is left standing alone outside. Gives an awkward little nod and tells them if they need anything to just let them know. Then he melts back into the house to prevent a murder.

is the adventurous eater

Cassian will eat legitimately anything. And there are very few things he doesn't like? but the things he doesn't like he dislikes VERY VIOLENTLY. If you attempt to feed this man peanut butter he will make your life miserable forEVER. He also likes to experiment in the kitchen.

Nesta is very much. She likes what she likes and she has no interest in adding to that. She's perfectly happy. She will make the effort and try things that Cassian specifically makes because she knows it's important to him. but she goes into it like she's headed to the gallows each time and as long as she takes a little bit that's fine. Nesta doesn't like new things or change in her established existence.

Azriel has a very discerning palatte. He can subsist on soldier's rations. But he's absolutely the obnoxious foodie of the group, surprisingly so to people who don't know him. Cassian considers it a Great Personal Achievement if, when he puts the first mouthful of food into his mouth, Azriel smiles.

hogs the covers at night

NESTA. She sleeps in between the two Illyrians, and no-one have any idea HOW but every night she manages to cocoon herself in blankets. Cassian has described her, lovingly, as his "little rotisserie chicken" assuming that she just...rotates and pulls the blankets in around her with every turn. Cassian and Az doesn't really mind, they have wings, and body heat, and have slept in far worse places. It amuses them.

forgets to do the dishes

Nesta. Azriel and Cassian both have that 'hyper neat military discipline' thing and they both get antsy if their spaces aren't clean. On very rare occasions Az will sometimes leave like the occasional tea cup or plate lying around and Cassian will take that as a cue to go and check in on him because he must be really distracted/bothered by something for that to happen.

tries to surprise their partner more often

Cassian does the surprising. Most of them involve nakedness and rose petals. He also occasionally does ridiculous things like hiring a band to follow Nesta around the city all day and sing a song of how much he loves her. Buys an enormous teddy bear for Azriel so he has someone to hold him while Cassian is at the camps - because sweet Nesta won't (sweet Nesta elbows him)

Azriel does like big important anniversary/birthday and they're always incredibly intricately planned and thoughtful.

Nesta and Cassian both tag-team Azriel for special occasions and force him to take some time for himself and they just make him do all of his favourite things and it's Wholesome.

leaves dirty laundry on the floor

Nesta, mainly, because again Cassian and Azriel are neat freaks. However, Cassian will take credit for doing this when he's stripping one or both of his partners for sex.

stays up til 2 AM reading

All of them, actually. Cassian far less frequently than the other two. Az does this literally every day until Nesta legitimately picks him up and carries him to bed. Cassian assists by whipping the remaining report paper out of his hands as they come in. Azriel grumbles about them fussing over him like a pair of mother wyverns. Nesta pointedly tells him he needs it and Cass agrees.

Sometimes Azriel returns to the favour with Nesta. Or he TRIES to. But he approaches and she just raises a finger, without looking up, and growls at him. Cassian claps a hand on his shoulder and tells him to just let her finish her book. He doesn't want to have to start writing that eulogy just yet.

sings in the shower

Cassian sings very very loudly. It is not good. He does it anyway. And he dances. Even when he's joined in the shower by his partners.

Azriel sings, but only when he's alone. Or with Nesta. She is allowed to hear, but only if she sings with him. It's quiet, and beautiful, and one of their bonding moments.

takes the selfies

Cassian. Frequently. Nesta is very changeable. Sometimes she likes it and poses with him. Other times he just gets a palm in his face and a rude gesture.

Azriel always point blank refuses to have pictures taken.

plans date night

Azriel usually manages it, Nesta is his co-planner. They both like things ordered, and controlled, and to know what's happened.

They let Cassian plan once and never again. for the general of the Night Court armies he's fucking terrible at managing restaurant bookings.

It’s miscellaneous fandom time!!! Here we go!!

Jayfeather

(Of the warriorcats variety)

Apparently I have a favourite character type (of several) and that is whatever the intersection of this guy, Moon and Stone from the Raksura series, and Colin tmagp is. Perpetually prickly and snarky yet lovable and clearly have a soft spot for certain other characters or things. Jayfeather beloved, genuinely one of my Favourite Fictional Guys of all time. Grumpy old man since birth and boy does he deserve it <3

Whiteout

(Of the Wings of Fire variety)

Whiteout <33333 my beloved my heart and soul she deserves every good thing ever. I’m so sorry your brother was evil I’m glad you had a good life in the end. We stan neurodiversity rep in the murder dragon series

Qibli

(Also of the WoF variety)

Qibli my son my baby boy my beloved. The most character ever and honestly looking back, how much I related to him probably should have indicated my adhd far sooner. Zoomy brain buddy you deserve the world and also that love triangle (iykyk) should have ended in a polycule fight me

—

PJO

Disclaimer: I have not read PJO. I have not read any Percy Jackson books. I was a warriorcats and WoF kid. Everything I know about this series is passive knowledge acquisition from participating in a crossover AU my friend mir ( @giraffes-golashes ) convinced me to co-write with them using my UsherRP characters. My Knowledge Is Very Fragmented so yk don’t murder me or ask me things about the series I just like the blorbos okay anyways here we go

Percy

Yes everything I know about him is from my friend’s portrayal of him in an AU yes everyone else except them and myself are wrong about him don’t worry about it /j

Anyways, definitely one of the guys of all time, mans has really been through it huh. ADHD king who is also bi, fight me (please don’t I will lose but feel free to go fight mir about it because they will win <3)

Annabeth

Annabeth! Girlboss, she’s great, would trust her with any task ever. Like all the pjo characters I know of (not very many), lots of depth to her character, very good very cool go do some world domination you deserve it

Leo

Double bingo!!! You can tell who my favourite characters are by bingos alone. Anyways, the GUY he is my favourite guy the best boy the most character of all time. I rotate him at high speeds like a rotisserie chicken in my brain. Same category as Qibli when it comes to Type Of Favourite Character, both of whom are reflected in some of my OCs (cough cough Jaz). Love him and from what I’ve heard canon did him dirty so I have decided it doesn’t exist after a certain point <3 as you do

—

And that’s- oh, wait, I missed one. Just for you, mir.

I was going to do OCs but I am So Tired so this will be all unless I change my mind. Hope you enjoyed! If you don’t mind me I’m now going to sleep for a week (and rotate the blorbos)

If anyone wants me to say my opinion on a character with this bingo
