#blue swag blorbo

[blue-swag]

I AM REQUESTING SWAGGY BLUE BLORBOS.

I will add everyone added in the other category to the drop-down! So it's easier for me. If your blorbo is in the drop down vote there instead of other!! (but also please but a character in other! I need at minimum 32)

if you have multiple blorbi you'd like to add list them like: blue 1 from x, blue 2 from y. ECT. if the form cuts you off it should let you go twice!

[acepumpkinpatrick]

Should we like.. start following the tiktok/reels way of making "content" shorter and shorter until it's literally just a video of picture with a trending sound on it?

I thought this was the reading site, I thought y'all loved reading and following posts that have a gazillion add-ones to them?

Are your reading privileges only reserved for 10 paragraph analysis posts about your fav blorbo and not for actual people & their painful real world stories?

You know... people like Al-Najjar family who lost their only source of income?

Or Abdul Aziz who is trying to help his children?

Or Somia Ali who is trying to help her displaced husband's family?

Sorry for the tags ♡

LISTEN. I KNOWWW that the polls haven't even started, but I'm impatient, ok, I'm just putting this out there now cause I can't take it..... anyways - I've seen people do powerpoints as a way to campaign for their blorbos in the various polls that have been going on, so!! I thought I'd do one of my own for the @autismswagsummit ^^ as I simply can't pass on any chance to be brainrotted over this series, it seems...

ID under cut, as it's very long!

[ID: a powerpoint presentation campaigning for Mob from Mob Psycho 100. It's formatted in dark purples and pinks.

The first slide is the titlecard, differing from the main slides by having a pink holographic aura, like the ones from the show, as the background. The text says:

"#MOBSWEEP 2023

Aka why you should vote for Mob in the upcoming autistic swag summit. Please

(JK follow your own heart ^^ but for your consideration:)"

The second slide is titled: "Who is Mob, aka Kageyama Shigeo?" and below the text lists:

"Source: Mob Psycho 100, which is also where Reigen comes from;

The protagonist! Only with background character syndrome (which is why he’s named ‘Mob’ – it’s kinda like naming your protag ‘John Doe’ lol);

A 14 year old with the psychic strength to destroy the world. Which he’s not very happy about actually;

Cause really, he’s just a nice, gentle boy who simply wants to improve and impress his crush by getting swole :) Oh, and he also experiences the horrors. Btw."

On the right of this text, there are two images: One is a zoomed in screenshot of Mob, his face blank and confused, and the other is an official art of the show, depicting Mob in the center, aura glowing, with many of the show's other characters around him, with the show's title at the bottom of the image.

The third slide's title is "Ok but tell me more about the autism", and below, the text says:

"Gladly ^^

Ok, first off – symptoms:

Bad at reading social cues, detecting sarcasm, lies, etc.;

Struggles with recognizing/expressing emotions. Has what could be called psychic meltdowns;

Very honest and blunt, sometimes appearing ‘ruthless’ as a result;

Explicitly low empathy, in that he can’t feel what others are feeling;

Actually very compassionate, and follows a really strict moral code;"

There are no images in this or the next slide.

The fourth slide is a continuation of the previous, with the text being:

"Abnormal reaction to sensations, but instead of overreacting, he underreacts, rarely responding to physical touch and disturbing imagery. Has shown to be at times sensitive to loud sounds, however;

Prefers following a routine. One of his biggest conflicts with Reigen literally arise from the man often calling him out of the blue and making him suddenly adapt, which Mob finds really annoying/upsetting;

Struggles in school. Explicitly bad at math, japanese and PE (really passionate about the latter tho), which could be for a variety of reasons, autism related conditions (like dyscalculia/dyslexia/dyspraxia) being one of them;

Has felt like an outcast for most of his life. Even if he grew up in a pretty loving environment, he recognizes that he is different to others, and people sometimes treat him as such (in a /neg way);

His main arc is about overcoming trauma and… just masking (and how to stop doing it), pretty much, lol."

The fifth slide, in contrast, is mostly just images, placed upon a white background. The title for this one is "Alternatively, just look at him:"

The images, from top to down, and then left to right, are:

Three cropped subtitles out of screenshots of the show, which say:

"I'm sure I just got the wrong idea again. How embarrassing."

"He's detached from urban legends, fads, and other hot topics among people."

"You just can't lie, can you?"

The fourth is a cropped screenshot of Mob's explosion meter. Both in Japanese and English. Specifically, it says: "Progress towards Mob's explosion: 92%". Additionally, there is an annotation above this image, saying: "Literally has a meltdown meter ksfdks"

In-between these and the next column of images, there is also a transparent image of Mob, him standing stiffly, faced towards the camera, his standard, blank expression with a small smile on his face.

The next column of images goes like this:

A screenshot from the show, done in paint on glass, of various kids towering over Mob, who's standing in the middle of the image, small. Their expressions wary, from sneering, to frowning, to looking disgusted. The subtitles at the bottom say, with one part blocked out due to spoilers: "[spoilers] didn't treat me any differently even though I could use psychic powers."

Next two are cropped dialogues as well. They say:

"This version of him was created from being suppressed and locked away."

"Social skills like that are beyond you."

And on the right of the slide is one vertical image, showing one of Mob's books, with the subtitles translating the Japanese title of the book as "The Proper Way of Reading the Room". Next to this one, there is also an annotation, saying: "He has a book on learning social cues :’)" That's all for this slide.

The sixth slide is titled "Is he good rep though?" Text below is:

"Well, to answer the first thing relevant to this question… no, he’s not actually confirmed canon autistic. But c’mon.. it’s so obvious. This kid is not fucking allistic like c’monnnn

Of course, what people consider good and bad rep is gonna vary from person to person. But to explain why a lot of people see him as very positive rep:

"1) He’s the main character, so he gets the most spotlight, and the narrative is formed around his pov, in that we only see things that are relevant to Mob, and visually things are often represented in the way Mob sees them as well (take the body improvement club or Tsubomi, for example), which puts all viewers soundly in his shoes and makes him easy to relate to and sympathize with, and makes it clear how important his emotions and view of things really are;"

On the right of this are 3 images against a white background. The first one is a screenshot of the Body Improvement Club - 5 very buff and large dudes - standing against an explosively red and yellow background, with all of them enthusiastically flexing. The caption below that is "The body improvement club! ...they're supposed to be middle schoolers lol".

The next two, below the first one, are two screenshots of Tsubomi. The one on the left has her smiling, her eyes wide and bright, the background being pastel pinks and yellows. The one on the right, however, has her frowning, the background turned black, her eyes dark and disinterested. The caption below says: "Tsubomi :) And how her design subtly changes alongside Mob’s view of her".

The seventh slide is a continuation of the previous, with the text being:

"2) He’s a very well rounded character, with well thought out strengths, flaws, motives, and his overall story is very cohesive and satisfying; 3) His autistic traits are portrayed neutrally – in both where they help, and where they can cause conflict. It balances between him learning what things he would benefit to address and deal with, and what things he shouldn’t be trying to change at all, and as the whole message of the show emphasizes – he is no more or less special than anyone, no more or less of a person – he is simply human, and his autistic traits are just part of what makes him himself."

This one has images next to it as well. The first one is a screenshot of Reigen looking towards the camera (at an off-screen Mob), hand to his chin, eyebrow raised and smiling, some food crumbs still stuck to his face, as he says: "Today you happened to save some people that only you could have saved." Next to it is the annotation: "Reigen reassuring Mob about how his inability to read the room and feel empathy actually can be a huge benefit sometimes :)"

The next image below is a zoom in of Mob's face, his eyes shadowed by his hair, the scene's lighting dark, as he says: "I'm not being mocked, nor am I easily taken advantage of." The annotation next to this one says "Mob learning to recognize his emotions and assert himself better as the story goes on!"

And the last two images is a screenshotted dialogue, saying "You don't think changing yourself for someone you love is natural?" "I don't. At least, not when we're talking about [spoilers]" (The last bit is blocked out again).

The eight slide is also a continuation. The text says:

"4) He is loved. Loved by his friends, his family, his allies… even most villains come to take a liking to him. In fact, he’s something I haven’t seen many autistic characters be – he’s admired! So many characters, and even viewers of the show I’ve found, really admire him and want to be more like him. And not because he’s a perfect person, or super smart or anything, but because he sincerely tries his best. And I just really appreciate that, personally,, 5) And more than just loved, he is accepted – the whole main arc and the resolution of his story centers around that, around how important it is to feel accepted by the people around you, in all your entirety, no matter how strange or destructive you may feel yourself to be. And how you need to come to accept yourself in the same way as well. I just think that’s a really sweet in a story centering around a neurodivergent person :’)"

And the images next to it are as follows:

A screenshot of dialogue from the show, saying: "At first glance, Mob may seem unreliable, but his strength is undeniable." The annotation clarifies with: "The ‘strength’ in question, in this case, being Mob’s ability to reach out to people ^^";

A screenshot of Teru placed against a blindingly white background, him grinning widely, looking down, eyes shining, as he says: "I knew it, you really are amazing!". Next to him, there is a small caption of "Lol gayass /pos";

And a screenshot of Mob, in the bottom center of the image, small, as he is surrounded by various characters. Most of them are smiling encouragingly, with the ones closest to him, like Reigen, Ritsu, Dimple, Teru and Tsubomi, being bigger and placed in the front. A small caption at the top says: "He has so many friends and allies ueueeueueue.."

The ninth slide is titled "Additionally:" and the text lists:

"Psychic powers as a metaphor for being nd/othered, if that suits your fancy;

His design is iconic and versatile;

The boy has. Issues;;

There are many other characters in mp100 who can be read as autistic. Not a single neurotypical in this show /hj

Mob has more than just autism swag. I’ve seen people with bipolar disorder, ADHD, anxiety and those who are plural (etc.) also relate to him :)

He is simply the Boy ever"

Next to the last line is a small, low quality image of Mob smiling from the manga. The rest of the images, on the right, are:

The meme "I can be your angle....or yuour devil", with images of Mob instead - on the left, him smiling brightly and blushing, placed upon a colorful magenta background, and on the right, a panel from the manga: Mob in one of his explosion states, surrounded by fire, face shadowed, hair pushed back by his powers and waving in the air, and his eyes, wide and eerie, being the only features on his face that are visible.

On the right of these images, there is a smaller one, of Mob in another one of his explosion states (the one from episode 3, season 1 of the anime). He is facing to the side, aura surrounding him, hair pushed back by his powers and his eyes a glower. His pupils are red.

Below these, there are three images of, in order, Serizawa, Tome and Ritsu. Serizawa is sweating, nervous, Tome is sweating even more and yelling into a phone, and Ritsu is simply glaring towards the camera. The annotation pointing to them says: "A few of the other autistic blorbos in question :] (as I personally see them at least)".

And the last is a panel from the manga, of Mob sobbing, tears and drool dripping messily down his face, his hair waving in the air. His expression is somewhat blank despite the clear distress, and the text boxes next to him read: "His tears won't stop. It's an emotion he has never experienced before."

And the tenth, final slide, is formatted the same as the titlecard with the pink aura background, and says:

"Thank you if you got this far <3

Have good days everyones, and remember, the true win for autism is the fun we had along the way :]

Buh bye!! ^_^"

Around this text, there are various images of Mob. Counter clockwise, starting at the left corner:

A low quality screenshot of Mob flying in the air;

Mob, in his puppy hoodie, sweating in distress as he points at a vase;

Mob caught mid smear frame, his leg kicked high in the air as he jumps, his school bag swinging to the side, his expression comically flustered.

A panel from the manga. Mob's eyes are shadowed, chopsticks held to his face, as he stares to the side and says "Tch... Shut up and eat.";

A Mob in an alleyway from the anime, smiling, pointing and looking up and to the left (the center of the slide);

A photo of a Mob plushie tucked into bed;

A low quality screenshot of Mob, standing against a wire fence, facing forwards, his eyes appearing a bit angry due to his hair cowering them.

Obscure Character Showdown FINALE

[image ID: the first image is of image is of No Significant Harassment, a shadowy figure standing behind a sleeping pink-red, fox-like creature. their green hands seem to be holding up the floating creature. the second image is of Granger, a girl with green eyes and short, wavy or curly black hair. in her hair is a red hat or ribbon. she's wearing a black turtleneck sweater, blue overalls, and a green coat. end ID]

No Significant Harassment

[NSH has beaten Akama (The Idiot (1951)), Libby Day (Dark Places), Sally Swing (Betty Boop), Shrimp (The Upturned), Oopsy Bear (Care Bears (2007 series)), Hikaru (Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu), and Diggory Graves (Hello from the Hallowoods)] They're just a silly little guy. A jokester. Significant harassment if you will. Anyway, a more in depth run down: They're a city sized supercomputer built by a Buddhist adjacent society to figure out how to transcend the 'Great Cycle' (semi-metaphorical cycle of death and rebirth) in a safer way than the previous method (submerging oneself in the 'void sea' which is a mysterious golden liquid that dissolves whatever it touches). Despite being built for this express purpose NSH never really shows a pressing interest in ascension, even cracking jokes about those who are still looking for a solution. Whether this is due to indifference, dislike of, or humor to cope with being unable to ascend is not clear and really up to interpretation. Example: NSH: I wish them super good luck in that endeavor. How is it going to happen? Have the overseers gnaw through bedrock until their entire can crashes down in the void sea? BSM: Please be respectful when speaking of the Void Sea. Grey Wind, where did you hear this? CW: I really shouldn't say. He's going to attempt some sort of breeding program. Thought you might want to know. NSH: Haha with the slimers, lizards and etceteras? Surely the answer was in a lizard skull all along! He's very flippant, but does care very intensely for those close to him. NSH: Moon? It's me again. NSH: I do not know if you are receiving these. Please signal in any way you can. NSH: I need to talk to you. I need to know you're okay. NSH: … NSH: Its difficult for us to assist you over this distance. NSH: Even more difficult for us to do anything in the midst of these tantrums. NSH: Were going to try everything that we can. NSH: Just hold on a little longer. (Context for previous convo: They genetically engineered a super organism of a slugcat (the species you play as in Rain World) to help reset his coworker/sibling after her collapse and restart her systems. He was so desperate to fix her that he accidentally messed up the slugcat's (Hunter) genetic code and as a result it became riddle with the Rot (relatively similar to aggressive cancer) :( which parallels his other coworker/siblings condition who also has the rot. ) He canonically uses he/they pronouns too! Nonbinary swag! NSH has major internet troll vibes. He has sent a data pearl of "something distasteful" to his neighbors on several(?) occasions and causes chaos. If he had access to the wider internet he'd probably be an influencer So…yeah! Vote NSH this website likes the allure of heavy machinery and stuff like that so… there you go. Kind of a blorbo. End post.

Granger

[Granger has beaten Chopfyt (Oz), Wolfman (Darkwood), Gaap Goemon (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun), Forest Friend (Gris), Turnip (Chicory: A Colorful Tale), Gary (Faith the Unholy Trinity), and Stag Malinay (Krystar First Fragment)] so granger is the main character of the indie game "NeverHome" Chapter one, which is only $1 on Steam, is called NeverHome: Hall of Apathy. if ur a fan of young protags being put in RPG maker horror games, then this is the game for you!! so granger is just that… she wakes up to find herself in a strange, hostile world. she, along with the friends she makes, must solve the various puzzles before them while creatures are out to kill them… and along the way they can uncover the secrets of these never ending halls… her dynamics with the cast is also super fun… each character gets their moment or moments with granger. and what's so cute is that there's unique art for each pair that highlights the fact you cant get through these halls alone!! she also has her own theme song!! here!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_vwtmIj5cw it's called cyclical tragedy AND HERE IS AN ANALYSIS OF THE THEME!! MUSIC THEORY!!! written by my good friend @HIEMIOLA "cyclical tragedy" embodies the protagonist, granger, through the music theory behind the track and ties itself back into the main track as well. to begin with an overview of the track, the key is D minor and hte time signature is 3/4. the piece begins with a broken minor third starting from the tonic. that is, it begins on the main note and moves along the main chord, D to F. the next set of notes are C to E, which is shifted down a step. the phrase repeats again, this time D to F, then G to E, which is an inverse movement from the original sequence. even in this first part, we could tell that the protagonist begins from square 1 with a simple pattern, then tries it again when it works. however, the inverse breaks that expectation of repetition, thus showing the diverse variations of solutions she comes up with using just the tools she has (the two notes moving in thirds). just like the game, she is given a handful of objects as well as a knife to defend herself and solve the mysteries of the world she exists in. with her creative uses of the items given to her, she continues on her way through the plot. we will keep moving. the melody begins. true to the title of the track, the melody cycles around the same beginning note, D, that she always returns to at her square 1. this is a nod to the save states she is allowed to keep to make sure that we the players don't lose the game, but it also references the health bar that appears as a circle around her avatar. the melody, mapped out, is also moving in an up-down wave movement across the sheet music. granger is creative with the knife she has and the quest items she obtains throughout the story, but she is not entirely reckless. rather, she knows when it is time to return to the safe rooms to rest. to time her returns requires skill because she must run to cover without being caught by varying her path so the enemies don't corner her as she tries to return to the room. most of the time, she is successful, shown through the consistent return to the beginning note. let's keep going. i would like to turn your attention to the main theme briefly. in the bass notes, you can hear arpeggios and outlined chords. this makes up the bulk of the accompaniment in the main game theme. [mod note: the rest of the essay, and some more propaganda, is continued under a cut because tumblr will not process more text than this in an indent. sorry to split it up, please continue below for the rest of the essay and additional propaganda (including art) !]

the third variation of granger's theme also has arpeggiated chords in the accompaniment while the melody features broken chords. at this stage, the pattern switches to eigth notes instead of the quarter notes at first. with greater movement and heightened senses, she runs throughout world and befriends other people, thus interacting further with the environment. while she isn't exactly someone we would call open, she is respectful to the people she first meets and has no problems with asking them for help when she needs it. because of her openness to working together, she speeds up her progress by asking for aid at obstacles that would be too difficult for her to overcome on her own, such as asking a teammate to break things, move things, or reach into smaller holes. fusing the main theme elements with her own theme marks this step as the inciting incident that sets her on the path to escape from this world. we'll continue.

continuing the same part, we hear some secondary fifths. i'm not entirely sure if this is what you call it, but it is a nod to the parallel key, D major. depending on what theory class you take, this could also be considered the other half of the key. i dont know how else to describe it, but i digress. these are glimpses to different dialogue options she could take, glimpses to a different key or a different ending. because this game only has one chapter ending so far, we are unsure of what other paths granger will end up in; we only know that there are certainly other endings she will experience, only to begin the cycle again when the save state is loaded for players to reach another ending. both A major and G major are chords that signify different choices that may lead her elsewhere only for her to return back to the tonic or main note, D. despite this, she keeps going, as will we.

at the midpoint of the track, we see a quick shift in patterns. instead of upward leaps in the notes, the melody falls in stepwise motion. true to the plot, this is another turning point of the game when she is forced to make a choice: continue or stop. after facing the spoiler event, her once determined personality is challenged as she struggles to keep herself and her team together. despite being the headstrong protagonist who spearheaded solutions, even now she finds herself doubting and taking smaller steps, smaller risks.

even after all of this, she rises to the challenge as the melody returns to its beginning sequence. true to a protagonist she gets up again despite the events that transpired and keeps her team moving in their lowest points. the thirds return as she finds more objects to solve more puzzles to open more rooms to save more friends. this repeating part of the track only solidifies her resolve as the piece ends with a broken chord in the main key, her key, of D minor. despite everything that transpired, she stayed true to herself."

the game is also so, so charming with the art, music, and story made by the same person… its so clearly loved and full of passion!! i love listening to the game's ost on occassion!! since it's all on youtube!

ok one last thing thing!! on may 8th, the game hit 100 downloads (on both steam and itch.io). you can see the creator of the game celebrate that with this lovely drawing of granger: https://twitter.com/NeverHome_Game/status/1655761270694633472

so at most, only a bit over 100 people have played the game… id like to say that makes it obscure!!

anyways granger and neverhome!! we love to see our protagonists put in horrific situations and isn't she super cute with a lil bow on her head? she is my daughter…

What makes Nagi Usui from The World Ends With You the autistic girlie ever of all time? Here's what the people have to say:

Nagi-related asks/reblogs: x This post will be updated after each round!

Image ID in alt text and under the readmore.

[Image ID. White slide with a screenshot of Nagi Usui in the bottom left corner, her glasses are all white and there is blue lightning coming off her. She is surrounded by text boxes which read,

"Has a special interest in EleStra, a mobile game, and it is her main motivation to live (or to come back to life, at least). Has an unusually formal, sometimes awkward manner of speech; often refers to others with Lord/Lady honorifics. Hyper-empathetic; can sense when people are masking their feelings, and is strongly affected by others' negative thoughts and emotions. Her power allows her to go into others' minds, but she dislikes doing it, both for their privacy and because dealing with their strong emotions exhausts her. Puts significant thought and care into her interactions, calculating every aspect of her behavior when communicating."

"Winner of the The World Ends With You autism bracket! Nagi is very emotionally perceptive and is easily overwhelmed by others' emotions, suggesting hyperempathy. She has a big interest in a game called Elestra, which she talks about often and relates situations from it to situations in real life. She particularly loves one character from the game, and pretends that someone from real life that she knows is that character. While Nagi is very empathetic, she struggles to see things from the point of view of those who are very different from her."

"Trapped in a death game and her sole motivation for escaping is to get back to playing her fave video game which she hyperfixates on. She has a speaking quirk where she talks very eloquently and overly formal and makes a lot of sounds/unintelligible noises to express when she’s feeling excited. Hyper empathetic and makes an active conscious effort to understand and communicate with people, calling it a skill that can be honed like any other."

"Literally died and landed in a death game, but was more worried about not being able to play the next chapter of her gacha game hyperfixation than y'know, being dead She is also hyperempathetic and makes So Many Noises"

" "I am simply aware of the importance of communication. And I take great pains to ensure my interactions with others remain as peaceful as possible. Asking questions. Gauging responses. Reacting aptly. I leverage every element at my disposal—actions, words, emojis, anything at all—to ensure everyone feels welcome.” - This is a direct quote from the game, which should be pretty autistic on its own. But wait, there's more! This is how she's able to Dive into other people's souls and help rid them of their inner demons. When she ends up in a three-week-long series of death games in another layer of reality played by the dead for a second chance at life, her motivation to get back is that there's a new chapter of her special interest mobile game and she can't play it until she's done with all of it. She joins the team because there's a dude who looks eerily like her favorite character who hangs around with them. Her arc resolves not by being less interested in EleStra (said special interest mobile game,) but by getting someone else who she'd previously had trouble getting along with because he spent the game masking INTO EleStra, on the grounds it'll help him cope with grief and improve his social skills. Nagi was voted Most Autistic Swag of the game duology in a fandom tournament, and this is saying something because you can make a case for like 60% of the cast at a low estimate being readable as autistic. She is an autistic queen."

"She obsesses over a mobile game (and one of her teammates because he looks JUST LIKE her blorbo/husbando). She has an ita bag covered in pins of said blorbo. She speaks in an old-timey fashion (she's 19 in modern day Tokyo) and refers to others as "Lord/Lady [Name]". AND she refers that special interest game to others as a way to "heal (their) hearts." She was voted Most Autistic TWEWY character on tumblr in a finals match against someone who's literally nonverbal with a special interest in tech who talks EXCLUSIVELY using text and rarely facially emotes. That's how autistic she is."

"Nagi is described as devoting most of, if not all her time to her pastimes, especially for a certain in-universe mobile game (Elegant Strategy, or EleStra), which she carries an itabag completely decorated with merch of a singular character from the aforementioned game, from several buttons and pins, to a charm, to a keychain plushie. She is also described as "more of a subdued character who can't assimilate into a social environment as easily as other people" by her character designer. I could go on but I'm not sure how to put concepts into words"

"She has an INTENSE special interest in a mobile game called Elegant Strategy to the point where playing it is her main motivation for trying to escape the literal actual death game she gets chucked into. She is highly empathetic which is highlighted by her psych (essentially the magic system in this game) being the ability to dive into other people's minds. She is extremely observant and puts a lot of effort into effectively communicating with the people around her, calling things like jokes or emojis "tools" to make sure everyone has a good time. The twewy fandom hosted an autism poll and she won so she absolutely deserves to go here" End ID.]

[icerosesummerbracket]

Also hey here are a list of ✨️ things ✨️ I think about in this series every day. With no real end thoughts!! I just think about them!!

-How in their first scene (all the way back in the end of book 1, danm) Rose is "afraid and almost animal" and Radiance "though she looks kind, she clearly does not feel anything at all" and their last meeting (goddd book five was SUCH a trip) RADIANCE is the one "afraid and almost animal" and ROSE is the one who "doesn't feel anything at all". Insane scene and the only way I think Radiance's death would have been satisfying. If they had tried to redeem her it just wouldn't have worked.

-Lux and Lily parallels. HEY. WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY THIS. NEVER elaborated on to my knowledge. Insane book series 10/10

- The Chronicler is described as a "bright eyed man with white hair that curled around his ears, as well as a white mustache, and twinkling indigo-purple eyes" (like Rose). He is also described as "being short" (like Rose) and implied to have similar leg issues as Rose. AND THE VASE OF BLUE AND PURPLE ROSES. Hey author! What! Did! You! Mean by this! Also p.s I just love his funky guy swag. I love his golden glasses and astrology cape <3

- ALSO HEY WHAT is UP with cloaks and capes in this series?? It's clearly and identify thing- a mask with your face bare king of thing, right??

- How does Belladonna smell like cinnamon. Like I get it has to do with the color of Radiance's hair (before it goes white in book 3) but like. Why The Cihinnamaldehyde Girlie

- I love Lily so much, and I also love how the posters in her room reflect certain plot beats and character backstory. Also, the fact that she was on fanfiction.net is extremely funny to me.

- MADAM SPICEBERRY'S DEAD CHILDHOOD FRIEND like who WAS he. Why was he mentioned. IS THIS INTENDED TO BE A PARAELL (????) TO ALEXANDRIA OR OTHERS (??????????)

- Also Madam Spiceberry's snake. I love her so much. Why did you name that animal fluffy girl 😭 she's so fucking funny. I also love how she's canoncially the second best cook in the series

- Speaking of cooks, I love how Belladonna canonically can't cook and Carter is canonically the best cook in the series. It's Just So Funny.

- All the women in the book series I had a arocrush on as a child

- Ohhh how I love the bug symbolism in this series 😁😊 But also WHAT! THE! FUCK! WAS THE BEETLE IN LILY'S BED SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT!

- I love Lux and how autistic he is about his plants ♡ and also how dog-like the plant monsters themselves are <3 they simply love him so much!!

- I love how Belladonna doesn't brush her hair- HATE how her default look is just a corset over a tank top and jeans. Like girl I love you and I love the look but why are you walking about in a corset and jeans. Its a slay but what 👏 is 👏 the reason 👏

- Can't belive the author almost named Belladonna Hemlock

- It's so funny that Lux's favorite character is the joker

-Anyways thank you for coming to my Blorbo Ted Talk thanks 4 tuning in <3🫡

in conclusion *looking at a board covered in red string* what does it mean, what does it all mean-

[uncaught-coolfish]

has anyone sent adam yet. i must.

CRACKS KNUCKLES

OTP: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bulldogs. it’s like the only one I can think of that won’t get me assassinated where I lay. and I like marrow a lot. and if you do some serious fanon mangling twisting churning deforming grinding into the blender and fullmetalalchemisting… sun x adam is the shit

Brotp: he and the 2 twin dudes from v4-v5… perhaps they were homie balonies.

NOtp: like the. the obvious ones. but for one. frostbite. there’s good art of it. but it’s. yeah. yeah no thanks . shaking my head violently

Thing I like about the character: I like his designs (take a shot every time I’ve said that). Yeah his OG design was slut city but tbh the timeskip design has grown on me. It’s goofy but like it looks decent. Also he had one of the better Maya models, change my mind. I honestly kind of prefer the Maya look to the og look (though rip to the slutty waist) His character might’ve gone down the drain and gotten stuck in the gutter but at least he looked swag during it. Also he has the face of a fucking puppy/j also that “looked at the sky with bright blue eyes” shit in the aa bio is one of the most depressing fucking things from this show to me. like. byeeeee…..!!!!!!!!

Things I dislike: his WRITTIIIIINNNGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH literally why did we. WHY. you have the power to end these patterns. I still don’t get why they wrote him to be this irredeemable hatesink and then threw on top of the mudcake “OH he was a child slave and also GOT BRANDED!”. Like. I mean okay more material for me <3 but then WHYYYYYYY DID THEY NEVER ADDRESS IT ANY OTHER TIME. ALSO WHY WAS HE GIVEN THE MORE ON SCREEN DRAMATIC DEATH THAN FUCKING J A C Q U E S. oh and also the fact he only ever interacted with uhhhh like? 6 characters maybe and only 2 of our main characters are included in that.

Their best volume: I’m gonna be honest…. Volume 6. It was the volume the animation looked good, he looked good, his va improved somewhat (though the dialog certainly didn’t RIP), we finally got to see under that mask, and that alone was what got me interested in the loser. And thus, blorbo.

Holy shit this got really long. ADHD kicked in *quirky*.

[daz4i]

what makes you like the dark era?

joke answer: dazai kinnie disease 😔

serious answer:

i think it's well made :0! i haven't read the actual ln (yet. rip 💔) but from what i gathered it's a good adaptation!

from a directing standpoint, i think it utilizes the anime format well - the first time i watched it i was in awe from how different the tone was compared to the rest of the series, both visually and like with the music and even voice acting. also making odasaku's ability blue hurts me deep

from a writing standpoint! tldr: oof ouch owie. longer answer: it hits your emotions just right, i think.

the mystery around what ango's deal is keeps ramping up and the rate in which you figure things out along with odasaku is very well paced imo (as in, you get bits of information at the right rate, with enough space between them to digest what you just learned)

i think mimic are an interesting antagonist, and their motive is understandable imo (tho their execution of their goals is weird to me lol). the whole conflict around them feels realistic imo, both like. their origin story - war really is like that - and the way the government uses the mafia to handle them

speaking of, mori is extremely interesting there imo, and his relationship with dazai is as well. i think this whole story adds a great layer to him and helps you as a reader understand him more, and the way he chooses to approach things. and! dazai's reaction to that approach is also interesting, and highlights the difference between them which imo is important to dazai's character as well!

also i love odasaku (he was actually the first bsd character that made me go "omg blorbo alert? 😳" in my first watch hehe). like first of all he is very fun, i love the whole chill vibe autistic swag he has going on. but he's also extremely interesting; his refusal to kill, his dream of becoming a writer, his care for the orphans - and in turn, his drive for revenge, his refusal to listen to reason after the orphans die, his acceptance of his incoming death. his views of life and death as a whole are fascinating to me, i think he's one of the bsd characters with the most interesting ones tbh (along with yosano, dazai, and nikolai imo) precisely because he contains contradictions despite being so straightforward

on a meta level, i love the adaptation of the buraiha trio from friends in real life to friends in the series as well, and i think it deepens the characters' bond as well as just being a fun parallel :)

ok i think that's all i have in mind for now. apologies for the ramble and if you were looking for a simpler answer ajdkfjskfg but thank you for the ask 🙏🖤

CHARACTERS

I’m gonna be honest with you all the characters are notably the most thought-out portion of this WIP. It’s been my longest-lasting WIP and as such I’m afraid to really commit to a plot or anything because I don’t want it to die.

Onwards!

In order: Bard, Tulle, Sylvia, Nox, and Ambrose

BARD

an Picrew of a white teen wearing an MCR shirt under a leather jacket. he has shaggy brown hair and bushy eyebrows. he has a big long nose and his ears are pierced. he is smiling rather large and maybe looks a little overwhelmed. the background is blue.

- he/him - bisexuwhale polyam - autistic - loud voice unless he’s checking in, emotional support but never admits that anything is wrong - sends postcards to his friends - kind of overwhelming in group situations - likes almost all rock and indie pop music and has a classic rock hyperfixation - falls in love just a little more a little bit every day with someone new

TULLE

a Picrew of a white teen with kind of short blonde hair. she is wearing a big green bomber jacket over a yellow tshirt. she is smiling and wearing big round sunglasses. the background is cream.

- she/they - sapphic demisexual - audhd, psychotic, and more - nonspeaking and very opinionated - fat but uhh you know picrew - super popular on imaginary tumblr - super into flight and engineering and had a blimp hyperfixation and now makes planes - encyclopedic knowledge of plane and boat design - also super into 19-20th century american literature - likes wwii movies & rhythm games

SYLVIA

a Picrew of a Latina teen. she has long black hair, a colorful flowery dress, and a dark green jacket. she is wearing daisy earrings and has a neutral expression. the background is salmon colored.

- she/ey - pan ace transfemme - ocd, autistic, and more - the picrew i used didnt have many options for her clothing so oop - guatemalan (or similar idk this is a fictional world) - knows a lot about plants, fungi, lichen, and algae, specifically about mycelium networks and mycorrhizae - the love of my life - codes games mostly about plants and other little guys

NOX

a Picrew of a Korean-American teen. they have long black hair mostly up in a bun, a black turtleneck, and a black jacket with constellation patches on it. they are wearing moon and star earrings. they have a curious expression. the background is taupe.

- they/it - queer - audhd, dyslexic - bugs and mythology, especially about patterns in mythology across the world - that one kid that sits in the back of class and draws - has a lot of bugs housed safely in enclosures and takes them out often to draw with - kind of quiet but when the situation calls for it will ramble to literally anyone on very serious philosophical topics but using a bunch of slang

AMBROSE

a Picrew of a white teen with long brown hair. he is large round classes and a neutral-satisfied espression. he is wearing a black buttondown with suspenders over a yellow turtleneck. he has flowers behind his ear and as part of his background. the rest of the background is yellow-green.

- he/him - aro acespec - adhd, psychotic, depression, and more - on and off cane and wheelchair user, plus that tboy swag - oldest of the group, a leader of sorts if there is any at all - that was the best I could do for his outfit lol this is the first picrew of him I’ve ever made and it’s stuck - interested in most things, has a pretty good understanding of most STEM fields, literature, and polysci - connects with folks intellectually

THEMES

This whole WIP is kind of an amalgamation of my own character development over the last year or two, so it’s a lot about connection and how we’re all very similar in a lot of ways and all deserving of love. I may have another character on the way actually who’s kind of this theme personified as a literary device you know, but idk much about them yet so I didn’t include them.

WHAT NOW?

Good question!! I have no clue, I hardly even have a setting for them except I know that Sylvia has a greenhouse and Nox may or may not have the woods. I might split that into a different WIP. I guess they’ll just live in my head until I either write them down or they leave!

YOU HAVE ANOTHER WIP?

yes I do! sort of. I’ve got a plot (ish) and themes and kind of a character or two but they are not at all fleshed out enough to do anything with. it’s about a person who lives alone in the middle of nowhere who seeks connection via crow-courier! yeah it’s pretty okay

-

yeah so that was pretty cool we should do it again sometime. enjoy! and I hope to get to know all of you better in the coming years :>

[hermitcraft-8]
