#augh. augh. augh. stop. im so crazy.

[redthunderstorm]

stop making me CRAZY.!!!!!!!!!! you’re playing dangerous pingpong with me i can’t just leave these tags cold and alone. im coming to get you.

even then i imagine it’s something she can’t control, like a traumatic experience you do not come out the same. she’s not the same, but she’s still their azu… punches 100 holes in my walls. she wants to love her friends and be vulnerable again that’s literally her whole thing is struggling to be vulnerable and struggling to be honest. coming out of mdcr even worse.. there’s no other way out than going up. she is doing it scared and im sure she’s shaking and feeling stupid but her friends ... fusakin . will hold her hands as long as she need to fully come back together in that moment. simply seeking empathy and understanding from someone she knows has been through something similar, maybe they both can feel less lost and alone. sometimes one needs some company when you are at your weakest. and maybe fusakin sees this opportunity to also be weak and vulnerable. they both melt into eachother’s grasp. they feel so much about eachother and their pain and their friends. we have to protect eachother but will we be strong enough ? will we make it out together ? please. they deserve to converse about their deepest thoughts and fears and yet not stress over it. it’ll be ok. we’ll do our best.

just be near me right now…live in this moment with me. perhaps this is all we need in the meantime.

I realize I'm in the minority here but I'm replaying my canon Inquisition file with my Lavellan romancing Josephine and all those other important decisions blah blah blah but every time I talk to Sera I'm a little sad that I'm not romancing her this playthough

In other news I think I might choose grey warden as a background for my first Rook. I just find them so endlessly compelling I can't ever stop thinking about wardens

Felon!Stone: Hey, I don't have rabies!

Me: Forgive us for questioning that, but you do have a rotting corpse in your house.

Felon!Stone: I keep it because my father doesn't deserve to be buried.

Bharat doesn't deserve to be buried, but Felon!Stone could have cremated the corpse instead of leaving it in the house. Which makes me think Canon/Girl Dad!Stone was so lucky that he didn't leave the bedroom when he landed in Felon!Stone's universe that time he and Devil!Stone (who was disguised as Felon!Stone) switched places.

well you cant just remind me of the au swaps and not expect me to push forward the thought of: what if he did find the body? what if he did manage to talk himself into leaving the house?

whateverrrrrr

[ghostiezone]

YESSSS HI ROS I LOVE YOU FOR THIS . THANK YOU. IM GOING CRAZY OVER HERE . putting. most of this under a cut bc its gonna get Long

I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH U KNOW ABOUT OFF. so i am going 2 give a very quick rundown of the basics. french rpg game where you play as a guy called the batter who declares its his "holy mission" to purify the world, aka kill a bunch of ghosts and creatures that are haunting the land. i wont get into spoilers until later so this is basically all u need to know for now.

ZACHARIE is like. sans undertale but for people in 2008. hes a 4th wall breaking merchant that talks over the batter's shoulder directly to the player, referencing the fact that theyre in a video game etc etc. i love him dearly. (off as a whole does a lot of cool 4th wall break stuff, the player (you) is as much of a character involved in the story as anyone onscreen. very cool. anyway)

so. in the second zone of the game you are in this library trying to find codes in some of the books. most of the books are kind of nonsense flavor text so the codes stand out easier with the exception of ONE. called "the toad king and the merchant". its written as a fairy tale, ("once upon a time" in the beginning and everything) and it very briefly tells the story of a king whose "actions and appearance were so repulsive he was named the Toad King" until one day a man in a mask shows up in the kings court to challenge him to a duel and eventually kills him. now this is NEVER officially confirmed in canon but its. very heavily implied that the hero in this story is supposed to be zacharie. man in a mask AND a merchant . etc etc u get the point

SO HERES WHERE I WILL GET INTO SOME. SPOILERS. so beware. the game has been out since 2008 but its suuuch a good story to go into completely blind AND a lot of it is very open ended and everyone sort of interprets it differently so this is entirely just. my point of view how i personally like to interpret the story. so not everyone will feel this way but its how *I* feel and thats all i care about rn 😌 my blog i get ti make the rules etc.

ok ive stalled enough spoiler time: at the end of the game you sort of find out that this world youve been "purifying" is actually the creation of a very sick little boy named hugo. he's trapped in his room bc of his unspecified terminal illness so he creates this entire world to entertain himself so he has something to do/people to talk to etc. a LOT of the characters that you meet in the story are like... simulacra of people who hugo knows in his real life (ex: its implied that the "queen" trapping hugo in his room is his mother, the batter is his father, etc.) so he created the batter (the character) as a representation of his real father, who would sometimes bring him comic books to read. these comic books featured a guy dressed as a baseball player as the main villain, and hugo was angry at his father for not letting him leave and bringing him books he didnt want, so he sort of combined the two in this world in his head. im getting off track here but god i could talk about OFF for hours dude. ok. back to zacharie

theres a scrap of paper you can find in Hugo's room at some point that says something to the effect of zacharie is his best friend/the nicest person he knows. so this is where we get into my personal takes on the situation: hugo at one point had been given the toad king fairy tale to read, and latched onto this hero and made him a permanent fixture in his imaginary land. etc etc something to the effect of having a hero who would slay the evil king keeping all of his subjects trapped in their kingdom; hugo wsnting someone to do that for him too, so he creates a version of that hero to be his friend. which gives us. the zacharie we see in the game.

does this make ANY sense. im realizing now that ive just spent 90% of this post explaining the plot of OFF and not actually talking about my backstory stuff. sorry. here we go.

i am going 2 direct everyone who has read this far to THIS VIDEO which i saw for the first time when i was first getting super into OFF back in like. 2015 or so. and let me tell you it is absolutely instrumental for so many of my zacharie thoughts. i love it so much

so the way i like to think about it is. zacharie was a sort of travelling merchant; he carried around all of his wares on his back as he moved from town to town/kingdom to kingdom. (he always kept his face covered too, but i am taking artistic liberty with the reasoning behind this because i have not decided which reason i like best. so its a mystery. important part is he wears a mask over the lower half of his face. oooooo mysterious). because he was also alone on the road so much, he carried a sword with him and knew how to defend himself. when he first visited the Toad King's kingdom, he saw how miserable the people were, but they still welcomed him in and treated him as kindly as one of their own, and he knew he had to do Something to help them. he wasnt a fighter, he wasnt some trained hero, he was just. a guy who happened to kind of know how to use a sword and wanted to do something good with it.

the king in my mind started off as just some horrible evil guy, but he was cursed by a witch or a sorcerer who he had offended somehow. this curse turned him into a giant humanoid toad, and everyone who ever set eyes on his face would be forever filled with hatred and fear (etc etc something like that. fairy tale curse.)

oh shit cool fight scene etc etc. i like to think zacharie has his add-ons at this point simply because i LOVE the guardian angel imagery that would evoke but i have not fully decided on how/when he gets his add-ons. ill thunk abt the logistics of that later. imagine if you will, though. a man in a hooded cape with most of his face covered walks into the king's court and announces that he's challenging the king to a duel. the king laughs in his face and boasts that no one has ever beaten him in a fight before, what makes this stranger think he's so tough. the king goes to attack him and he throws the cape off to reveal a sword and a glowing halo and wings. GOD thats so cool. its so like. basic fantasy fairy tale type stuff but i gotta admit im weak for that sometimes.

zacharie wins the fight, but just before hes about to kill the king, in one last act of defiance the king chooses zacharie as his heir, and when zacharie kills him it transferrs the king's curse onto him.

not wanting the sudden responsibility of an entire kingdom on his shoulders, especially with the effects of the curse, zacharie hides his face again and flees the kingdom. he felt guilty for leaving them without a ruler so suddenly, but hoped that now that the evil king was gone, they could rebuild themselves on their own. his sudden disappearance + the description of angel wings from the people who witnessed the fight kind of immortalized him in the eyes of that village as some sort of mythical hero: a guardian angel who disguises himself as a humble merchant and rids the world of evil tyrants to protect the people who treat him kindly etc etc etc. this is where the book comes from. ... when in reality hes just . some guy who wanted to do the right thing once and got cursed for it

FAST FORWARD HOWEVER LONG to the events of OFF, this version of zacharie that hugo created isnt exactly the same guy but he believes he is/remembers being that guy in the story. but because he's been living with the curse for so long he found ways to get it under control: make himself appear more humanoid (with a few exceptions; eyes, neck, skin, etc), wearing full masks to hide his face so nobody gets affected by that aspect of the curse, etc. he just goes back to being a travelling merchant again, but hes way more weird and offputting and unhinged about it . the beloved.

god this got . so very long and i didnt even talk about everything i am SO sorry but if u want 2 know anything more specific pleaseeeee feel free 2 ask me about it im literally buzzing irl because ive been thinking abt this for so long AUGH

do u guys want to hear my thoughts about zacharie's backstory because i think about it so much. i unlocked something in my brain with that art earlier and i cannot stop thinking about pre-toad king zacharie.

[mechagender]

do you have tips on drawing robots/mecha?

augh I really do wish i could have like a really good and thought out tutorial but honestly I don't even know how I learned WAUUHH ummm I think if I had any tips that I personally had to share which isnt a lot 1. try focusing on bolder geometric shapes!! it REALLY helps to sell the mechanical look. organic things tend to have a lot of soft irregular shapes, so deviating from that helps makes things look inorganic. also, try and picture things as a 3d model in your mind if you can! (if you can't, that's alright! people's imaginations work differently, some people can picture things, some people can't. that's just what I personally do)

2. exaggerate your parts and proportions to your hearts content!! robots and mecha are an excuse to really go crazy with things!! while something like drawing humans would typically have sort of a 'set' anatomy and proportions (varying on art style of course) mecha isn't really bound by any set of 'rules' especially if you don't care about being realistic!! (which i dont HEHE) 3. study and try and learn from some of the details of other mecha art. watch/play/consume media that focuses on mecha/robots like gundam or things like transformers, etc. other things that are good to study is real machinery, dolls, and real organic anatomy in general. i'd probably recommend searching some terms like "how to draw mecha/robots" on here and seeing what other tips more experienced artists have 4. PRACTICE!!!!!!! this should be like the tip ever for anything at all. im only able to draw like i am now because i spent a good few years drawing almost nothing but transformers which sort of forced me to learn. don't stop trying even when things look 'wrong' because fucking up is how you get better at Not fucking up

here's a snippet of like some of the first mecha art i can find in my files from back in 2021, you can tell i wasnt really confident in my shapes at all at the time, but keeping at it gave me the ability to improve (obviously none of these are concrete rules pls dont take them as such!!! i also HEAVILY encourage finding lessons elsewhere because beyond generic primary/middle school art classes i have never taken any sort of art education ever and I have no idea what im talking about. i'm entirely self taught, and i've also rarely done serious studies on my own. bad, i know WAUUUGH.)

[kneelingshadowsalome]

honestly can't stop thinking about bunny engel w doberman könig like AUGH

köni trying to lick engels ears clean and her trying to pry him away from doing so, forcing her to have a bath ( köni ended up looking like HE was the one who had a bath because of her constant kicking ,splashing water all over the place)

and when mating season comes in? 😭😭😭😭😭😭 im dead, I've been resting , but when im sick enough to the point of being dizzy, THID IS ALL I COULD THINK OF AAAGASG

Not König licking his bunny girlfriend’s ears clean and forcing her to take a bath?? 😭😭😭 I wouldn't be surprised if she bit him... Later on she hops onto his lap when she wants attention again (basically forgets to be angry with him because bunnies are never angry for long 🤍)

But mating season has me worried because doberman König is a crazy stud and can mate at any time while a receptive bunny will lift her tail only when she is ready. Will there be chases and fights and lots of clamor and noise when König is trying to breed and bunny Engel thinks he’s just being annoying again, trying to lick her (sensitive!!) ears clean???

[gaybellethorn]

i started listening to the first shannon hale eah book on my walk earlier and it's so good. hale you mad bitch <3!!!!!!!

raven being a swiftie (taylor quick........obsessed) and apple being a directioner ("you don't know youre charming" in universe pointing to the real life charming family. CRAZY.)

apple keeping a basket of candy and coins at her bedroom balcony to throw down to her adoring masses PLEASEEEEE . all her kingdom management classes amassing to this she's so FUNNY.

relatedly, how frustrated she gets at the end of her first chapter that people are only gonna grade her on being a good snow white based on how pretty she is and not on how hard she's studying to be a good ruler. very very juicy very interesting characterisation very interesting take for a snow white character. but also. the chapter starts with her naming the dwarves by derogatory nicknames ("my name is frank," pouty said poutily) and the narrative itself superimposing her names onto them in the dialogue tags. SO FUCKING GOOD. APPLE YOU SILLY BITCH.

hale's distate for apple's dad bleeding into the description i looooove it. "keeping a hand on the hilt of his blade as if ready for battle at a moment's notice, but of course he had never been in battle. his only claim to fame was falling in love with a comatose woman in a glass coffin in the woods" damn hit him again for me!!!!!

BUT this coming from apple's pov???? EXQUISITE!!!!!! god that's so fucking INTERESTING and really doubles down on her looking up to her mam and wanting to be the best ruler she can be, because no one's gonna help her out later! i haven't gotten to apple interacting with daring yet, but that's gonna be such an interesting lens to read their relationship through as well if she considers his role in the story like. repulsive!

also just an interesting contrast to raven's relationship with her parents, where she loves her dad and wishes her mam wouldn't belittle him in their convo. oh sidebar there was a description like, raven's mam did love her, in her own way. hope was like a sticky syrup and raven wished she could drink it down just one more time. auggghhh ravennnn :( <33333

back to apple, i liked the little detail about snow having this squeaky high pitched voice, and apple musing that being stranded in the woods with the squirrels may have done a number on her. i think she gives a length of time there, either weeks or months? i hadn't considered that being part of the snow white legacy, that's interesting ! especially after thinkng of her dad as a useless bum ass nobody like 😭

looooove getting raven's introspection around her mam. the mirror scene at the start is so so good. ugh then when she's talking to apple and she notices how slouchy and unkempt she is next to her. and she tries standing properly but she knows she comes off as too tall, too gaunt comparatively. and then she reprimands herself like 'stop comparing yourself to her, that's probably how mom turned out the way she did' AUGH ? that being the first indicator that raven can understand how that path unfurls in front of her, how she could easily take those same steps. sooo juicy

also looove her relationship with baba yaga so far. it's really interesting that baba yaga is compared/contrasted to raven's mam, i wanna keep an eye on how that relationship develops

baba yaga using an actual spray bottle on raven when she starts voicing rebel thoughts PLEASE‼️ raven grumpily looking into the princess' advisor office (run by the white queen! cute detail) where theyre given tea and plush chairs and noticing that there isn't a spray bottle in sight. MWAH.

oh ! and the detail about it being maddie who asks raven point blank "if you weren't destined to be the evil queen, you would...?" as part of this wonderland word game that she doesn't think anything more of, but raven is left speechless because she's never been allowed to consider it before. really sweet moment between them! :)

im like an hour into this 6.5hr audiobook. the voice actor is doing a wonderful job, i really like her voices for raven and apple in particular so far. i definitely wanna keep going on it! i will listen to it on walks i think :^)

[flowersinthegrocerystore]

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 15: PAINFUL RE:BAKE - Episode 26: The Feelings Put Into A Bare-Handed Fight

Towa: This is a seriously professional training space. Look, that over there is training equipment for acrobatics!

Ibuki: How come you know that?

Towa: I did LOTS of research before coming here~!

Towa: The Spring Troupe’s workshop made me realize just how important being fully prepared is!

Ibuki: Oh right, you said you went to Spring Troupe’s too, didn’t cha.

Towa: Yup. Since this one focuses on action, there are lots of male participants.

Juza: G’morning.

Taichi: Good mornin’!

Towa: AHHHHHH, it’s everyone from the Autumn Troupe…!

Ibuki: You go crazy over every little thing…

Ibuki: Oh, heya, Izumida. I heard your ZAMI sidegig has been on fire. How about we collab soon?

Azami: Nahhh. But you do have my thanks for teachin’ me my way around social media.

Ibuki: Yup, yup. You better be grateful.

Yuzo: This sure is a nice training space. You should let my guys use it too.

Zen: Sure, when neither the guys from my shop nor the new gen are using it.

Yuzo: So I’m third in priority?

Banri: We oughta be startin’ soon.

Omi: …

Omi: (So he’s not coming…)

Keiku: …

Omi: ——

Sakyo: … That him?

Omi: Yes.

Sakyo: I'm glad he did come.

Omi: We’ve cleared the first hurdle.

Omi: Alright, I think we should start MANKAI Company’s Autumn Troupe’s Action Workshop.

Omi: Thank you for participating, everyone.

Omi: First, I’ll introduce the members of the Autumn Troupe and our special instructors, Yuzo Kashima and Zen Kuryu. We’ll begin with warm-up exercises once that’s done.

-

Yuzo: I’ll have you do a simple fight now.

Yuzo: The most important thing in combat scenes is for actors to synchronize their breathing. A single wrong move by either party can bring about the entire scene’s downfall.

Yuzo: That’s why it’s important for the two actors to trust one another.

Omi: We’ll explain the steps now. Each participant will be paired with a member of the Autumn Troupe, so please work together as such.

Omi: The pairs will be–

Keiku: I wanna do it with whoever’s best at fightin’.

Yuzo: … That’d be Juza.

Juza: ‘kay.

Keiku: Huh…

Juza: Thanks for showing me that shop with the cheesecake.

-

Yuzo: Have you all memorized the steps? Then, let’s start with slow motion–

Juza: 1–

Keiku: Haah–

[Keiku attacks Juza]

Juza: –gh.

Keiku: Ooone, two, three!

[Keiku repeatedly attacks Juza]

Juza: –gh.

Yuzo: Hey!

Sakyo: Stop!

Omi: You alright, Juza?

Juza: ‘m fine.

Keiku: I wanna fight with you. If that’s not happenin’ I’m goin’ home.

Omi: … You–

Juza: If ya behave yourself through the whole workshop, I’ll fight you.

Keiku: Bet.

Keiku: We were doin’ this in slow motion starting with step 1, yeah? 1–

Omi: … He memorized the steps properly.

Yuzo: Geez, if you got it down, then you should’ve done it from the start. Start another fight without permission, and I’m throwing your ass out!

-

Omi: Thank you very much for participating today, everybody.

Towa: Thank you very much!

Participant A: Thanks!

Zen: It’ll just be side dishes, but you can eat at my restaurant if you want.

Former Wolf: I’ll show ya the way, so please follow me~!

Keiku: …

Towa: You did that fight just now so well! Do you have experience? Do you already belong to a troupe?

Keiku: …

Ibuki: They’re leaving. Let’s hurry. I’m hungry.

Towa: Buuuuut…

[Ibuki pulls Towa]

Keiku: We doin’ it here?

Juza: … Why do you want to fight?

Keiku: ‘Cause it’s easy to understand.

Yuzo: Oi, you sure you’re okay with letting him do this?

Sakyo: Well, it'll be over in a flash, I believe.

Banri: Give ‘im hell, Hyodo.

Juza: You don’t hafta tell me twice.

Juza: If that’s how you prefer communicatin’, then I’ll respond in kind. I understand the loneliness of not being able to connect with anyone.

Keiku: I don’t need you to understand me–

[Keiku kicks Juza]

Juza: –gh.

Juza: You satisfied?

Keiku: Wh–

Juza: I’ll respond with all I’ve got–!

[Juza hits Keiku hard]

Keiku: –Augh.

[Keiku falls]

Keiku: … Ugh.

Keiku: … It hurts. It hurts. The hell…

Keiku: (You’re kidding. I can’t stand up. My knees gave out… The hell’s going on…)

Azami: It really ended in a flash.

Keiku: …

Taichi: Y-You okay…?

Keiku: … This might be the first time I’ve ever lost.

Banri: Heh, that’s a good thing.

Zen: Oi, you lot should hurry. The others are gonna eat everything.

Keiku: …

Omi: Want me to carry you if you can’t stand?

Omi: Give me your hand.

[Omi pulls Keiku up]

Keiku: …

-

Zen: C’mon, how long are you gonna sit there shocked for? You should eat, too.

Keiku: …

Keiku: ‘s hot… I don’t do well with hot food.

Omi: Then let it cool before eating it.

Keiku: … I mean, I can eat it.

Juza: Omi-san, could ya make something sweet for him?

Omi: Sweet?

Juza: I saw him happily stuffin’ his face with cheesecake before… He’s probably the same as me.

Omi: I see… Something I can make quickly would be…

-

Omi: Try eating this. It’s French toast with plenty of honey.

Keiku: … It’s good.

Omi: There are seconds, too.

Omi: Nachi, the guy whose name you borrowed, liked this too. Though, he liked it with a sunny side up egg in between.

Keiku: … You said he’s dead?

Omi: Yeah.

Keiku: … I met him once in the past. That Nachi guy.

[blackbatcass]

Linden, I just wanted to thank you for your ardent recommendations to read Ram V's Tec run! I started it last week and I'm blowing through it. There's so many things about it that just show how V gets it! He understands Batman in a way others writing him just don't seem to.

"He will see the trap and he will walk into it anyway, because he's the only chance any of those people down in the tunnels have." - The way I had to put it down and walk around the house when I read that line.

Thank you again! (Probably gonna start Flash once I'm caught up since you've spoken so highly of it as well!)

OMG YAAYYYYY im so glad you’re enjoying it!!! ram v like single-handedly gives me hope for modern dc lmfao like yeah he simply Gets It.

YEAHH WHAT A LINE and i have never stopped being crazy about “gotham I am your shadow I will always walk with you” LIKE. AUGH. ram v my goat forever

of course!! thank YOU for taking my recommendation lol if i get anyone to read ram v or spurrier my time on this earth has been worth it🫡🫡 I LOVE SPURRIER FLASH like yes it’s very technical and over complicated and hard to follow but idc I LOVE WHEN COMICS MAKE ME THINK. AND HAVE THINGS TO SAY. i love you speed force i love you cosmic horror i love you wally west‼️‼️
