for the rare pairs, did you ever get one with marlon and rasmodius? i haven’t been able to stop thinking about them together 👀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Old man yaoi is such a crowd favorite fr lmao
Ok you guys aren't ready for where I'm going to take this (except Human) because I had an idea for vampire!Abigail that involves Marlon and Rasmodius getting together. Cuz you know, like, 2 dads or whatever. (Technically 3 but Pierre? Ugh. He’s wimpy comic relief in this only)
For the purposes of this fic, Abigail is the wizard's daughter and only him and Caroline know.
Anyways I'm trying to do A LOT with this one so maybe I just do bullet points this time to give you the idea
There's no farmer, instead Marlon takes Abbie under his wing as a young adventurer
Rasmodius (because he watches everyone, like a creep) sees this and is like UGH not that THAT GUY, because Marlon is essentially his annoying coworker. Marlon tries to be buddy buddy with him and Ras is not about it. Like bro do your job protecting the valley and shut up pls.
Abbie stumbles on something she shouldn't in the mines, accidentally unleashing an ancient evil vampire and getting bit. It's very important to me that she turns into a bat. It happens automatically when the sun touches her skin, as a defense mechanism. She can survive in the sun as a bat.
So shit hits the fan obviously. Caroline goes to the wizard's tower screaming and freaking out because her daughter is missing and she is certain he has something to do with it (she hadn't known about Marlon) and Rasmodius pieces together it probably has something to do with the ANCIENT EVIL now on the loose. He assures her he is going to take care of it and has no choice but to team up with (ugh) Marlon.
Marlon doesn't know about Abbie. Ras is keeping all his secrets close and being careful about which info he gives to who. They go on an adventure of bonding. Important features of which are homoerotic wound dressing, and Marlon getting serious with Ras about his past and stuff. So he sees another side to him and starts to gain respect for the man.
A lot happens next that I don't have worked out yet sue me its just a concept rn. I have a few different ideas for how Abbie's side of things can go. She could potentially get out of the mines and turn into a bat which leads to her flying to the tower bc who else would believe her? Or she could be trapped in the mines with the original vampire and be like his spawn under his control or something.
Either way, we end up at a moment of truth where Marlon realizes Abbie has turned and feels like they need to kill her or otherwise trap her for eternity or something. And Ras is like tf no Im not condemning my daughter to that and Abbie and Marlon both are just [shocked pikachu face]
BATTLE OF THE DADS. DAD DUEL. FATHER FIGHT where they are physically fighting but also arguing about who knows best for her since the wizard has literally never spoken to her in her life but is also the one trying to save her, while Marlon actually did become a strong father figure for her but wants to kill her (only to end her suffering ofc)
Imagine they are fighting and Abbie just calls over them like "Not really suffering a whole lot, to be honest!" because this is a dark comedy as well as a romance.
Ras wounds Marlon badly enough (owie, it hurt his heart to do though, what is this, FEELINGS?) that he is subdued. Abbie and Ras take on the ancient vampire and nearly DIE but Marlon comes back and saves the DAAAY
He has the opportunity to also kill Abbie and doesn't, he's come around to compromise his morals for the sake of the ones he loves
Potentially even more homoerotic wound dressing and then they KISS with their old scruffy man beards and Abbie pretends to vom
The End
If you want this one to exist be sure to reblog and vote for it in the poll! This would be a hell of a fun one
Send me any Stardew Valley rarepair and I will tell you how I would make them work! (Even non-marriage npcs) If youre lucky you may get a mini fic out of it. Check the list below to see if Ive already answered yours

BTS fic poll
Tumblr media
Okay so first thing first, down there are going to be summaries/kind of just my rambling and after you read them PLEASE COMMENT OR SEND AN ASK WITH FIC THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE FIRST (or just send last to most intresting to you if you dont want to pick one)
For people that don't know what's going in doing poll to know what fic write first
note ~
all the fic below will have smut and some disturbing themes im sorry but thats just how i like
Loveproof
I have a first chapter (kinda prolog for that) already! I wrote it a long time ago in my native language but it's going to be no problem to fastly translate it.Okay but coming back to the concept and what's going to happen in this fic.I was thinking about making it centric with soulmate topics and growing. Like the main character is scared and doesn't want to have soulmates - there is going to be a mess of a big background for it, and there is gonna be bts. Our school heartthrob and sweeties that just want to be loved haha. It's gonna be soft fics with a little bit of mental health issues and a lot of dramas it will by angstyyyy
Bloodline
Magic powers au specials school au maybe yandere
OH God you won't believe it if I tell you that I'm obsessed with characters I pictured there. the dark min Yoongi (u know the pic from daechwita are with band on his eyes) having the powers and being that cool dark kind of tsundere character with deep voice. Don't get me started on the rest tho. The whole fic will be about yn being the daughter of two very powerful magicians and powerbenders but not having the power so they send her to magic school with hope she is going to come out with some kind of power. And there she meets bts that first thing are not going to like her slowly gaining an unhealthy obsession and doing everything to protect her. Did I mention a lot of drama jealous bitches and usage of powers in some hot scenes + possessive protective BTS
Devil's Dance
Mafia au soulmate au yandere au
Okay so the thing here is that I wrote this fic in my native language, like 7 chapters and after it I decided to rewrite again only making the first chapter. But I have the whole plot organized and damn if I tell you that there is gonna be crazy shit happening then better believe me. I'm such a whore for obsessive poly bts that are bonded to yn with some kind of soulmate shit. This is gonna be dark with the yn working as a hostess in a club and bts being that dangerous mafia that will play weird games till they get her in their arms
Butterfly Effect
Angels demons au soulmate au Kind of yanderish au
So I have kind of plan how I want this fic to be but at the same time there are so many ideas. Yn being just a normal student suddenly getting attacked by some kind of monster and after it she is gonna ask for help (bcs those monsters won't leave her alone) and the creatures that are gonna help her are going to be bts. There is so much stuff I want to describe without spoiling the whole fic but I will add just this. Angels, seven deadly sins, soulmate, secrets and a whole lot of drama Angst
Diabolik Lovers
Idea based on anime - not 1:1 just living with vampires
Okay so probably some people watched this anime I'm not gonna copy its whole I'm just gonna take a concept from it. Girl going to live in a mysterious house with seven different people that are not as human as she thought. Hot vampires, tsundere, yandere theme with a night school and a lot of smutty smut.
Best Of Me
Vampire au yandere au brother/caregivers au
Where 7 old vampires finds a little baby outside theirs house and decide to rise her
There will be romance and all the boys will be included. And I know I know it sounds weird that they going to romantically love the yn that they rise from beginning but that's the whole concept okay. Like I imagine super super soft caregiver kind of ddlg relationship where they just want yn to depend on then. Like don't get me wrong it's going to be dark like they gonna do some questionable stuff to make yn depend on them. And the concept of the beginning where let's say they all are so disgusted with a human baby slowly warming up to her and just a whole lot of fluff shhsbsbs
Scarlet Moon
Hogwart au yandere au
Okay but my weird mind connecting a witch like from chilling adventures with hot Higwart boys that are heartthrobs of their houses. Like edgy badass yn coming to school knowing she is going to be discriminated against and bts having their own personalities not liking each other bcs of their status in the end forming an inner circle to make yn hers. Imagine them trying to make some potions for her and totally messing it up while shouting at each other. And I'm such a whore of the concept of slytherin jimin being like so mean to her and then the Taehyung which she met one the train to hogwart that acts like a puppy with her but hiding a totally different face.
Cilnomania
Soft hybrid au where boys find safe heaven in girl
Or predator hybrids really mate for life and maybe just nie they found someone they want to stay with. It's going to be mostly fluffy fic with some angsty back stories with a later Smut. But imagine 7 predator's finding their perfect mate and treating the yn like the little prey that they need to protect. I'm jdhsbshsha
Vampire knight
Base On anime - again it's only the concept i won't do 1:1 action like in anime and just change names. So the big school with night and day classes where day classes don't know about night classes being a vampires. There will be hierarchy with pure bloods, rogues, aristocrats… and ofc the hot hunters and our little yn that is going to try to maintain the peace when suddenly some vampires come back to school and give her attention she didn't know she needed. It's gonna be daaaark like I know some of you didn't watch the anime but oh God let me tell you it's not gonna be sweet fluffy fic with love at first sight there is going to be a lot of secrets 😏
Good Evening
Other world au yandere au
Okay so it maybe similar to the film Caroline but just a little bit. Yn being orphan living in some old hotel room while working there since young. As a child she discovered old closet in her room that took her to another world (kind of like Alice in the wonderland) and there she meets bts. Her getting older and living with secret of the other world while suddenly on her… birthday the old friends started to act different not wanting her to go. And then maybe she by accident opens a portal that allows not so human friends to step on earth and taking her whole.
Irresistible
well there is not much to write couse summary is on my profile already

blood and wine rewrite au basic layout
i already posted something like this before but i cant find the post so im just rewriting all of this from the top of my head
everyone’s repurposed roles:
geralt - he’s still a witcher. he’s geralt of rivia. obviously. i don’t have time or interest to think about how to rewrite the entire witcher 3 game to be lore-friendly, but i assume there would be less triss and more dandelion involved in it. for this let’s just take him as geralt having done everything in tw3 but with the personality of geralt from the books because geralt from the games doesn’t have much of a strong personality good for writing or thinking about.
regis - a bitch. nah jk. he’s same regis but just what he was like 100 years ago when he got his head cut off. he’s less spiralling-into-doom than he was then, and is less desperate and hopeless overall, but is slowly getting there once again. he doesn’t remember anything about learning from his mistakes and becoming a good person, because this regis didn’t get any of that. to this regis, it’s like no time has passed at all since he died, and he’s ready to start partying again without any thought of the consequences. he’s moved to toussaint because everyone’s already tipsy there and the north is plagued by war so it’s not a really great source to be drinking from (like if there was a sewage leak near the vineyard you sourced your wine from). he doesn’t remember anything about maturing up or about becoming a surgeon or about the hansa, so that sucks.
dettlaff - not a fucking maniac. actually a character geralt will likely spend a good amount of time talking to. total character overhaul because he does not have a personality in the actual DLC. he arrived in toussaint because he had heard that regis had returned and wanted to fix things wih him, he had previously left him.
syanna - not a fucking dumbass, yet still naive in her own way due to being blinded with the promise of power. in this, she is planning to stage a coup on the duchy (because she is the older sister, so it IS her right by law) and she supports regis’ slow dive again into uncontrollable insanity because it helps her prop up rumors that her sister’s reign is ineffective against real threats and is cursed. but this alliance does not go as she planned...
orianna -  in this, she is the owner of a gladiatorial school (instead of an orphanage), and is still like in canon a wealthy and influential individual of beauclair, yet reclusive from human society. she is regis’ best friend and goads him on, because she never fixed her own issues with alcoholism and now is elated to have him back and forgetting that they had disagreements which drove them apart in the first place. they’re best friends (NO romance) and it’s just good to see how insanely different orianna and geralt are because they’ve both been regis’ close friends at different points in time.
the purpose of this:
fix regis’ relationships with the vampires. he slowly drove all of his good friends away by going off the deep end and many are likely wondering whatever happened to him. but books regis would never consider partying like that again, so we bring the party regis back and then slowly de-escalate him into normal books regis again, and we finally get closure with him and his old friends.
cool dramatic stereotypical vampire shit. i’m talking about a final battle or conversation in a giant dark castle with large open windows and billowing drapery.
regis’s hairstyle
give syanna actual agency as a character and give her motivations that extend beyond pure revenge (although they are related to revenge) and make her more unique so she is not just a ripoff of renfri. 
demonstrate anna henrietta and geralt’s relationship as it was in the books. he was genuinely intimidated by her and i interpret him as being jealous of her relationship with dandelion, so he in practice was quite withdrawn around her as she was her overemotional and embellished self
give dettlaff an actual character, holy shit. i hate how sorely underdeveloped he is in the game. i understand why because it’s not meant to be writing, it’s meant to be a video game, but come on. i hate having the vampire with the cool character design be the ultimate villain of the whole narrative. in this, he’s someone geralt can talk to and sees himself in. he’s emotionally mature and doesn’t mix with the other vampires. since we already know what regis is like, we don’t have to sit through dettlaff making excuses for him and trying to describe what his character is like. we also get a better view of regis’ past through dettlaff’s lense. 
give orianna an actual character, holy shit. i hate how they didn’t even try with her and just used her as a “surprise, she is quite evil!” gimmick. have her actually have a larder for blood that is lore-friendly yet still jumps out at the audience as morally wrong.  give her more personality and development.
examine regis’ backstory without actually getting into every single year of those 4 centuries. we can examine how it started good, turned bad, went worse... there’s a lot of loss involved and i think this would be nice to process it.
roughly what happens (under cut because if i ever do write this fic out, this is spoilers, literally the synopsis of the whole thing):
anna henrietta sends envoys to geralt. they establish that the duchess has no conflict with geralt and that her conflict was with dandelion, only. she has requested his help because he effectively dealt with many monsters while he was in beauclair and established a trustworthy reputation (also, he’s famous, and toussaintoirs are superficial). instead of the beast of beauclair killing particular victims, it’s the countryside which has been plagued by vicious attacks of the devil knows what.
geralt arrives and examines the scenes of the attacks. the sincere majority of the victims are alive, so he speaks to them. they remember nothing, but woke up with their village fucking absolutely trashed and with vomit everywhere. they all have wounds on their necks. geralt thinks he knows what’s up, but is reluctant to deal with it because of his memories of regis, who he misses
damien de la tour is assigned to geralt as a sort of backup. they argue and geralt manages to get him to stay put in beauclair while he rides to a village they believe will be attacked next. it’s not even a full moon so the vampires don’t even come out in their bat form (disappointing) but instead just mesmerize their way in in humanoid form. dettlaff sneaks up on geralt who is (ahem) staking out the situation, and is like hey dont kill regis hes not evil hes just misguided!! and geralt is like REGIS? EMIEL REGIS? THTS WHO’S LEADING THEM? i ..... i know him.... and dettlaff’s like what the fuck how... then they get caught and regis is like oh hey dettlaff who’s this guy and geralt feels very left out :( and also sad bc regis doesnt remember shit and geralt even lists the hansa members by name and regis is still like O_O ok yeah im just going to hypnotize you to get lost ok goodbye! but dettlaff prevents him from doing this and they both get thrown out of the party.
after the party geralt is a mess and is like wtf so hes back and what... how... huh... and dettlaff doesnt know how he returned or why he returned either but they compare geralt’s knowledge of how regis died with dettlaff’s knowledge of how regeneration works and they figure out that regis just regenerated from his past body and that’s why he doesn’t have any of his memories from when he turned good.
then they eavesdrop a little more and find out that syanna has been talking to regis and making deals with him (its... not really like she thinks, regis really hasnt been doing anything he doesnt want to. shes just like “hey can you attack this village here” and regis is like yeah i was gonna host a party there tomorrow night ...) so they are like who the fuck is this woman and track her down to her base of operations, and then they find out that THEY got followed by damien de la tour, who identifies her as sylvia anna. geralt is a little miffed on behalf of dandelion that damien seems to be so close to anna henrietta but i digress.
geralt reports his findings to the duchess but does NOT mention regis because the duchess knows who regis is. then we get the same vampire talk from canon b&w where the duchess and damien are sorely misinformed on every single thing ever.
geralt is defeated and has no idea on how to fix this and hes looking hard into a mirror by candlelight and then decides to go to bed so he turns around and regis is right behind him like hey. cue ‘holy shit what the fuck’ moment and freaking out. regis explains himself and says that he doesnt remember him but the fact that he gave so many specifics weirded him out and he kind of wants to know more out of curiosity. also he wants to talk to dettlaff but feels too bad about how he argued with him like 3 centuries ago that he cant just ask him directly.
so they talk and geralt is all :(( and regis is like ok well. i kinda want to get these memories back because they sound pretty significant and also im pretty miserable. but also im not going to stop partying bc its the only thing that makes me feel alive rn. so long!
geralt and dettlaff talk to orianna and she dislikes them both but still talks to them and then regis materializes and also begins bothering them and its quite civil but this scene just serves to demonstrate how annoying they are as friends lol
there’s scenes where you can either save damien / syanna from being unalived by the vampires’ / regis’ hand, only if you let syanna die will the duchess be mad and accuse you of being heartless like dandelion is and then geralt and the duchess actually get into an argument bc of that comment but geralt ofc loses bc hes scared of her lol
no matter what you get regis his memories back but your decisions to either continue helping him or not is what makes him change or not. even after he gets his memories back (or because he gets his memories back?) he decides to raze beauclair bc hes just so fucking miserable and geralt has to talk him down, if you are harsh and not understanding and shame him etc then he doesnt change, if you condemn his actions but still offer your support then he does.
if you offer your support > geralt talks about the hansa like For Ever and regis then adds in everything and yay regis is back to normal. theres like a wholesome montage of geralt being like “just TRY to sew up a wound i promise you you will be good at it” and regis does and hes splendid at it. regis and dettlaff finally make up and are bros once again. we help orianna with her issues and she realizes stuff but is still going to have a drink once in a while. if syanna is alive she doesnt hate on any of this but just decides to make up with the duchess and then become captain of the guard (damien gets fired for being a dumbass).
if you do not offer your support > regis goes to cry in a delapidated creepy old castle and you have an epic fight (geralt is backed up by dettlaff) and he turns into a bat and geralt almost dies, they manage to decapitate regis again and put him in the ground and set a timer for 50 years
if you redeem regis then there’s an ending scene where the duchess is like “oh regis i didnt know you were in town” and hes just like <:) ahaha... yeah...
cue crying about milva/cahir/angouleme For Ever. maybe link this with the fic where geralt and regis bring them all back as ghosts/real ppl and then they have to deal with those consequences

Ugh, so. I’ve been re-reading the Twilight series for the first time in ten years jesus shit, really? A whole fucking decade? And I’m up to chapter fifteen of Eclipse and everything about the first half of this chapter just absolutely repulses me, and I just can’t.... Eugh. I just need to rant a little bit, tbh.
To be clear, I read the Twilight series when I was in high school - the last book was only just out along with the first movie, and I was super into it. I loved it so much I read the series twice (which I pretty much never did back then), and, as much as I don’t like to admit it, it was my first fandom. There are some aspects of the series that I still like (mostly concepts of the vampire mythology - the werewolves in this, not so much), and I occasionally go back to the fandom - which, imho, far exceeds the source material. But, I haven’t actually read the books since then. So I decided to reread. And I’m kind of regretting it. Especially with Eclipse. 
I must have been so wrapped up in the Edward/Bella romance that I blacked out the rest of it, because I don’t remember more than half of this crap. Honestly, it’s pretty common knowledge that the writing in Twilight is... Bad. To say the least. But I didn’t realise how little actually happens in these books. So much of it is literally just Bella cooking or doing housework, or describing outfits, or just thinking about irrelevant shit, and honestly, you can skim most of it without actually missing anything. Like, okay, in the first book, there’s like 1-2 chapters between Bella finding out Edward’s a vampire and her confronting him about it. And literally nothing happens in between. And that continues through the rest of the books, so much of it is just, extraneous, and I honestly can’t believe I missed that the first time. It’s actually why Eclipse has been such a disappointment this time because I always used to think of that one as my favourite in the series: it’s the one with the most actual plot and, no, I don’t mean the love triangle. 
But, re-reading it now, it’s clear this one is going to be tied with Breaking Dawn for my most hated of the series. For one thing, I didn’t even get three chapters into Eclipse before all the main characters somehow made me hate them. I really have no clue how I enjoyed this in high school, but how the fuck did I miss this book turning Bella into someone so selfish they’re oblivious to everyone else’s feelings to the point of idiocy; Edward becoming obsessively controlling, and Jacob becoming a Nice Guy. Eclipse features Bella, Edward and Jacob, all at their worst, and honestly that’s bad enough, but chapter fifteen... Ugh. Chapter. Fifteen. 
If anyone needed a reminder, tbh, if you’re still reading this I’m already surprised, I honestly don’t expect anyone to care enough to have gotten this far, chapter fifteen is the one where Jacob tells Bella he loves her. Actually, no, I think that’s the very end of chapter fourteen, this chapter is Bella’s reaction, mostly. Anyway, Jacob has told Bella he loves her and Bella already knows this, but Jacob’s never explicitly said the words out loud before, and she sorta doesn’t want to hear it anyway because she’s with Edward and she knows she’s always going to choose him, and she doesn’t want to hurt Jake. But, basically, Jacob kisses Bella. He doesn’t give her a chance to say no - though she tries, she definitely tries, and she physically struggles against him, but he’s restrained her, with his werewolf super-strength, and he carries. on. anyway. As soon as he lets her go, she punches him in the face. Like, you can’t get a much clearer ‘no’ than Bella was giving in that whole scene.* 
This scene on its own is enough to make me Angry. A.F. but. But. Ugh. It gets worse. So much worse. Bella breaks her hand ofc, bc Jacob’s a werewolf and Bella put all of the force she had behind that punch, which, good for her, honestly. So, after he completely dismisses laughs off her anger and tells her it’s her own fault her hand hurts and claims she enjoyed it kissed him back, Jacob has to drive her home (poor girl just can’t get away from him, no matter how much she’s trying in this chapter), and Bella’s dad asks why her hand is broken. And holy crap this whole Charlie/Jake interaction where they have a whole ass discussion about Bella as if she’s not a grown ass woman stood right there sends my rage levels through the roof. Because it IS a Charlie/Jake interaction: Charlie ignores his daughter, who is livid and injured, and asks Jacob what happened like he’s getting a report from a babysitter. It’s so fucking... If I was a cartoon, my face would be red with steam coming out the ears. 
And that’s not even the worst part! He laughs at the fact that Bella punched Jake, as if he doesn’t believe Bella would possibly have any reason for doing that, and only after that does he ask why she did it? Like? What? Shouldn’t your daughter be your first priority/concern? ** Jake tells him he kissed her and Charlie’s just like? ‘Good for you.’ And that’s a direct fucking quote. Good. For. You. And, okay, neither Bella nor Jake has explained the details, or even that she said no, but, really? Fucking. Really?! The fact that she punched him for it should have clued him in - he’s a cop, ffs. Though, on second thought, I suppose that explains it. He’s her dad. And he just, does not care. 
And then the very worst point (imo) when Bella calls Edward (and jesus, what does it say that he’s her only ally in this?) and Bella and Edward show anger towards Jake, Charlie tells them off. Or, as much as Charlie tells anyone off, but still. I mean, okay, you could argue - actually, wait, Charlie does argue, that he doesn’t want Edward and Jake getting violent in his house, but no, that’s not really cutting it as an excuse tbh, because he didn’t bat an eye and what is, frankly, assault. On his own daughter, just because he prefers Jake to her chosen boyfriend. Jesus fuck, at this point, I’m trying not to tear my hair out in frustration. There is just, so much wrong with these scenes! And then, the cherry on top of that crapfest of a sundae, we end that scene with Jacob and Edward this time, discussing their juvenile spat over Bella as if she a) isn’t Right. There. and b) isn’t an adult who can make her own choices - has, in fact, already made it clear that she’s chosen Edward. Ugh.
Damn this post got long, I guess I needed to rant a lot. I’ve been trying to avoid rambling about it on here, but this chapter was just... Too much. I needed an outlet. Yeah, I’m really regretting re-reading this series - I’ve learned my lesson, if I ever want to return to this verse, I’ll stick to the fandom.  
*And people still act like Jacob was better for Bella than Edward. *Shudders* Eugh. No. Just. No. Controlling and stalkerish as he is, Edward stops when Bella tells him no. They were equally bad as love interests, though for different reasons.
** Bella having to parent her parents is whole other fucking rant, I tell you. I don’t know if that quite hits emotional abuse, but boy do some people need to learn that their children aren’t there to look after them. Yikes.

Yes. And absolutely. My mc is me at heart so she is an alcoholic <3 get help girl 🤨

Slowburn all the way baby we die like men!!! Slowburn, angst, major character death, minor character death, gore, heavy themes, death, 500k words.
22) Are they a fast learner? Hands on or book reader?
They're a fast learner, yeah. However they have a horrible memory, so mostly hands on because of that. She reads books sometimes but its only mystery. Any type of mystery really, she's a big fan of that genre of books
23) What was in their bag from earth?
Snacks, a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, her wallet, a few hair ties, a cool rock she found, her phone, playing cards and a pair of dice (dont ask)
24) What do they think of secondary characters (Escell, Florian, Scylla, Tulsi, Elowen, Saaros, Ayanna) ?
She thinks Escell is a piece of shit but really hot (ofc she does, stupid fuck) always lowkey flirts with him but only to piss him off. She thinks he's annoying and very unlikable.
Florian.....be my dad pls i love u
SCYLLA??? SHES SO HOT???? HOW IS HIS WHOLE FAMILY SO HOT??? Ellie loves her 👍
Tulsi. Tulsi, yeah. Shes nice. Ellie likes her but she doesn't know her that well. They think its really cool shes a blacksmith and makes weapons and stuff 10/10
Elowen my beloved......... hot cat girl....... yeah 👍
She doesn't like Saaros very much, they're very serious and Ellie is drawn to more chaotic people. That's it. I had more to say but i cant articulate my thoughts very well so that's all u get 😎
AYANNA? AYANNA???? HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. AYANNA MY BELOVED THEY LOVE HER SO MUCH THEY THINK SHES SO FUN AND COOL
25) What’s their health like? Do they have mental health diagnosis, are they disabled? How does this affect them in Astraea, how do their Love interests help them?
A lot of mental illness. I'm telling u. She jokes about it a lot but doesn't want to really talk about it. She's used to doing everything herself so she doesn't ask for help. She's not diagnosed 😔 her knee is really messed up after an accident in her childhood so she sometimes has trouble walking, running or standing for long periods of time
26) What’s their music taste like?
Hell itself. Dont ever give her the aux she'll play lemon demon, cavetown, poppy, grandson, mitski and glass animals in that order. Shes a menace. Put her in jail
27) Do they like swimming?
Absolutely not. She hates the ocean. She hates everything in the ocean. She'd fight god to remove the ocean in the next patch notes. Absolutely fucking not she doesn't
28) Zoos or aquariums?
Aquariums bc she thinks the colorful fish are really cool. Yes, I'm a liar. Cry about it.
29) Museums or amusement parks?
Museums. She likes history and learning about it. Looking at paintings and sculptures from other eras and centuries is really nice.
30) What were their hobbies before coming to Astraea?
Video games and music. That's it, final price. Take it or leave it.
31) Who is their love interest? What’s their dynamic like?
Felix.
Goblin (derogatory) and quiet, shy, nerdy guy that occasionally raises the dead i guess
32) How would their closest person describe them to someone who doesn’t know them? How would you describe them?
Stupid fuck that has an obsession with making jokes about fucking people's parents. Cant do math. Would rip someone's head off for 20 bucks. Probably not human now that i think about it. Stupid fuck (classic flavour) (the classic flavour is bland btw) stupid idiot, sometimes funny. Actually a caring person sometimes.
The way I'd describe them would get me banned, so i won't. (Lie) (i just don't want to type and entire essay bc once i start i won't stop)
35) What’s a flower/planet/star/color/etc you associate with them?
Flower I'd say any kind of lily bc i think they're all really pretty but also one of those nice purple ish blue flowers idk what they're called.
Color I'd say either dark purple or dark green. Maybe even a nice shade of classic wizard blue. I like that color too.
33) How would you describe their fighting style?
Playing dirty tm, throwing things like coins, glass, sand, dirt, grass, anything she can get her hands on. Very chaotic and disorganized, always changes. Very emotion oriented, she misses a lot but still swings out of anger. Shit talks her enemies to throw them off. Taunts them. Screams at them. Every trick in the book.
34) Do you have a face claim or voice claim?
Wouldn't you like to know weatherboy

Strike Witches episode 1: first impression
so im gonna try strike witches: the unknown anime i chose to not familiarize myself with the premise beyond 'something like fighter pilots i think?' that i picked up by osmosis
oh hey look a discarded doll. def war is hell vibes here
cant say im a fan of the visuals from the first several seconds, the color scheme and everything seems kinda bland? the only reason im making this observation is bc i had to pause to let it load tho
oh look Very Noticable CGI
(i have a headache and am vaguely nauseous and basically am Very Cranky as a result)
man, there aren't even characters yet. it's been almost two minuets and there still aren't people for me to relate too that's a crime by which i dont mean that literally but just 'this might not be the thing i want to watch right now'
oh hey monsters okay this is better than just straight up war is hell between humans omfg in 1939 subtle 'we wanna play with ww2 era toys but without bringing up the fact japan was on the side of nazi germany' i assume sure im onboard if thats the premise
magitech??? magitech!!!
that's. their legs. in those things. are they evoking Baba Yaga and her travels in a stupa bc thats okay panty shots i think imma quit at the end of this episode
oh i. just realized this is the movie that actually makes it a bit better and gives me more hope lets try the actual first episode first
ok the first shot is of the sky and not a discarded doll that's already better
holy shit whatever this video player is it allows to load external captions from pc or url. technology progresses at an incredible pace
i love that the fighter planes are clearly shown attacking the vortex first 9u9
opening has so many girls wearing shoes but no pants. im just. this entire device's entire point is clearly to fanservice that does not mean this is bad character-wise yet ofc. i watched and liked fucking rosario+vampire. this show has a chance yet. lets see what its got
the op song is nice its also very straightforward about aesthetic of this show being 'girls without pants in absolutely non-sexual situaitons' and i can respect that
and oh look it actually does start with characters interacting right after exposition that's what im talking about
okay so now might be a good time to mention that the first context i heard of strike witches was uh. misogynist porn. like the kind that doesnt go for 'look at these relatable characters being kinky' but for 'consider: what if powerful girls got hurt instead'. so thats the context in my brain and i want to fucking overwrite it
military uniforms+panties are definitely an aesthetic and im incredibly amused by it okay every single girl here doesnt wear pants sure that actually looks like a swimsuit rather than panties and thats nice
also they are characterizing the protagonist! like i know thats not much to ask for but im going into this straight off blogging about madoka and this is just such a relief! she is kind and brave and plucky and talks gently to a scared kitten and I love her also she Does Not Think Things Through shes like the typical shonen protagonist but a girl. im in
Yoshika her name is Yoshika
and her motivation is her dad but eh sure whatever I kind of like the touch of 'it was classified military information' not sure why
theres nothing about Yoshika that qualifies her other than her personality and magic powers huh
yep thats a swimsuit aww shes a healer!
I love that the military observers rush to help as soon as they see something is off theres work and then theres helping emergencies
oh!!!! her mom and grandma are around!!! and teaching her!!! im happy!!!
Yoshika why is all that a 'but' to 'you should learn to control your power' i dont think there was any subtext of 'you shouldnt even try' there? or was it? maybe i should just trust her for now
awww Yoshika actually doesn't want to go to war <3 but this woman thinks she will because she wants to help people and she'll help people the most there I I like this ;~; I'm so happy I like this I love Yoshika's 'fuck war' instinct I love her drive to help everyone and in fact the trope of magical healer almost killing themselves to help a patient (despite it being professionally inadvisable) is actually the thing i made my very first rp character sooo :> you know. stuff something is fishy about that letter. its no coincidence it was sent just now... I love Sakamoto and her A+ social skills HA HA HA HA HA also huh... she's not in on whatever's up with that letter
Yoshika so uh alright she'll take her without enlisting her huh interesting but uh what about school I guess military and witches can override all that and it kind of makes sense to me thematically
'Britannia' gee how familiar that name sounds and i dont mean geographically
so hm could Yoshika be a military doctor without actually enlisting? how do the formalities work there i like that Sakamoto doesnt question her dislike of all things military like its unexpected but mostly bc Sakamoto's got a one track mind that has a hard time expecting anything other than what she wants to happen and beyond that its like 'sure ok a conscientous objector got it' even though its weird how there would be conscientous objectors to fighting MONSTERS its not like theres an alternative to not fight I mean also clearly Yoshika is a kid and theres room left for that in other characters' treatment of her opinions and I love that they dont get Offended that she doesn't understand and Have Proper Respect well Sakamoto doesn't at least not sure about how other people will react
man that raccoon on the road sure was convenient though. like i first thought it was Sakamoto's deliberate tactic to gauge Yoshiko's powers. she was opening her eye to i guess do just that visually and then the raccoon appeared and it just felt very natural that one follows from the other? is this foreshadowing or are the writers of this anime just unfamiliar with the concept of 'subtle' i dont mind if its the latter tbh
(im writing a ton of reflection bc the episode broke after i tried to rewind a little and i decided to download it after all, and its doing that)
so far, this show seeems nicely straightforward and fast paced. like, really straightforward. yoshiko's introduction? saving a kitten. making a ww2 era anime without difficult shit? monsters attacked in 1939. motivations and revelations are handled with all the subtlety of a hammer to the face, from the raccoon to the letter. even fanservice has the same charming quality that makes me actually be okay with the entire point of their outfits being gratuitous panty shots. making sense and having pretense is for the weak. this anime knows what it wants to be and is going straight for that. i respect that approach
also its p clear that what it wants is to be character driven and its been Delivering on that since its only half episode one and i already Love two characters personally and also some supporting cast (Yoshiko's entire family)
and like you know that in some other show GASP MIGHT MY DAD BE STILL ALIVE would be a reveal saved for like. the halfway point. but here its literally the starting point spurring everything into action bc all other motivation was just too slow to get the character where she was supposed to go. good job yo
there's this trope where the main character doesn't want to go into the main conflict (Refusal of the Call)... and very often it's handled by either 1) letting them wallow until everything goes to shit showing how wrong they were or 2) immediately conveniently wrecking everything so they have no choice now I uh. am really glad this show went a different way if just joining the conflict isnt a good enough motivation GET A BETTER ONE and IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE ANGST (and it doesn't have to be romance, either!!! why are those two the only things writers seem to be able to think of jfc)
...okay I was more like two thirds through the episode rather than half but my points stand
okay so I think what just happened was Yoshiko realized the parallel between herself and her dad leaving and got scared and her response was to comfort other people and I love that <3
I love that Sakamoto doesn't have a doubt in her mind that Yoshiko isn't going to be useless and will definitely help and also comes to her to discuss this explicitly <3
man I love Sakamoto and her absolute lack of social graces and sense of when enough is enough
and the fact that Yoshiko is working chores now and seems to enjoy it too <3
and it's when it's established that she's part of the team that Sakamoto starts showing off <3 she clearly has a dedicated well thought out campaign of convincing Yoshiko going on and its borne out not of manipulation but of clear conviction that she is right and she just has to show the girl what she doesnt know yet <3
ahaha of course showing off worked <3
so I paused and imma make a bet with myself on whether Sakamoto is going to tell her 'if you liked that you can join' right now or leave that unsaid subtly my bet is that she is, bc subtlety is an entirely foreign concept to this wonderful human being, and if i lose im going to make my bed right now not even waiting for the end of the episode let's see
oh she starts with education huh, this is not widely known? i had no idea anyway lets see if she says the thing
I love that it's her dad and it's this kind thing of 'this is what he said he was going to do, and he did' <3
huh so that was slightly more subtlety than I expected, she offered her to try them rather than trying to recruit her directly so I lost the bet gotta go make the bed now
BAM DONE YAY GOOD SELF CARE
hey more main characters!!!! I love all of you already!!! you have personality and discuss things that make sense!!! including their outfits!!! I love them!!!! the parasol girl is my favorite but also the tiny girl and the red-haired girl they are all my favorites!!!
omfg a month of travel and half a day early Yoshiko gets impatient I love her
YOU ARE A NONCOMBATANT she said with the steely confidence of a commanding officer <3
I love so much that Sakamoto respects Yoshiko's boundaries re: fighting???
OMG THE ENDING SONG I LOVE IT
I love the upbeat and airy tone this show manages to have despite the premise??? like I had trepidations at the start bc I dislike doom&gloom-heaviness of 'war is hell' narratives and I'm not a WW2 affictionado. but instead of shiny boom boom toys and angst it's all character adorableness and so much sky??? even the lack of pants ends up feeling like freedom this is the anime we all deserve
