#but theres so much i want to research and learn and also do and spend time on where im like i have Got to dedicate more of my time to this

[mellotronmkll]

Does anyone else get the thing of like you're already so obsessed with something that you're like it would probably be good if I was less obsessed with this / I need to shut up about this but at the same time you constantly find yourself thinking I have Got to get more obsessed with this. I have Got to get more obsessed

[genderqueerdykes]

i love cishetallo guys because theyve always been much more accepting of my 'weird' identity then exclusionist queers have (in my experience). the amount of cishetallo guys who go "WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! you cant do that!!!!! that breaks the rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" when i say im straight and pan at the same time has been 1. meanwhile i cant count the amount of exclusionist queers who just Say That to me. (i also get a lot of fist bumps from cishetallo guys for being autosexual, like so many 'hell yeah man's)

sometimes uninitiated people can be extremely understanding because they don't attempt to overthink it. i've had a lot of people who are unfamiliar with queer lingo literally just never question when i say that i'm a bisexual lesbian and a bisexual gay man. ive had cishetallo people nod and go yeah i see that vibe for you. like of course theres some cishetallo men who are shitty, but it's generally people within the queer community who are deeply obsessed with nitpicking at every term who become exclusionists, not people who know nothing about queerness

like cishetallo people don't identify as "exclusionists" they don't even know what that is on a grand scale. most cishetallo people don't spend literally all of their time in queer spaces learning about unique identities just so they can shit on them. that is a phenomenon unique to online queerphobes who want to sound like they know everything about queerness but have literally never researched queer history in their or any other country. it's ridiculous

i'm glad you've had those experiences! i'm very happy for you! thanks for sharing this!

[tmwcs]

so here are the profiles for each character, no special template was used for the sake of time but you can get all the status below. as far as birthdate, they all were "created" by God's angels before the creation of the world and before Jesus Christ was born, so i left that blank bc all the research shows that it was a long time ago (since these are biblical references) and they were all made in Heaven. Aside from that, everything else is below:

Requested by @violet-moon-rp - I hope this is what you were wanting.

MDNI 18+ only.

Warnings: theres some suggestive juiciness hinted in these profiles.

Leviathan/Jake:

Birthplace: Made in Heaven, resides in Hell.

Birthdate: way before Christ.

Favorite color: Blue

Favorite food: He's rather cold blooded, so anything warm soothes his tastebuds. Whether it's fresh made bread, or spicy foods, he likes it.

Hobbies: swimming, admiring aquatic life, spending time with Layla, messing around with his brothers (specifically Niki), visiting the mortal realm, occasionally seducing the ladies (he likes to exercise his tongue.) He prefers mortal women when it comes to the juiciness. For him, mortal women taste better and make the best noise when it comes to the juiciness, so that's where his preference lies. He's a bit of a playboy, but that changes when he meets his own y/n (hint hint) and if you remember the teaser for his and Sunghoon's own story in the Se7en series....Levi/Jake....has a huge breeding kink (its just as bad as Heelels) and whoever the 'lucky' girl is that he chooses to impregnate, you're in for a real surprise....like a bunch of them *hint hint*.

Satan/Sunghoon:

Birthplace: Made in Heaven, resides in Hell.

Birthdate: way before Christ.

Favorite color: Red

Favorite food: Meat, any recipe that includes meat, specifically red meat.

Hobbies: He likes to challenge his brothers or visit the mortal realm and challenge the strongest men in the world, occasionally will even participate in a street fight or a MMA tournament, disguising himself as a strong mortal fighter. He hasn't dabbled into mortal women so much since he isn't fully used to interacting with them, he has two Succubi's that he frequents with. His own y/n has been hinted in the first chapter of his story, there's more to come with that, but he's definitely one of those types that's a bit hard to please or to impress, but something very simple is what catches his eye.

Asmodeus/Sunoo:

Birthplace: Made in Heaven, resides in Hell.

Birthdate: way before Christ.

Favorite color: Blood Orange

Favorite food: delicacies, exotic fruits, crackers, cheese, and exquisite finger foods is what he likes the best, all paired with fine wine. He also loves chocolate.

Hobbies: He likes to wine and dine. He also frequently visits the mortal realm to interact with people, learn various cultures and foods from different backgrounds. He's also the Prince of Lust, and naturally, he likes to dip into collecting very 'unique' toys from all over. He likes to play with them on his own or use them with some of mortal women or demonesses. Not to spoil, but he eventually will have a favorite person to use these toys on...and his y/n is neither mortal or demon. *hint hint*

Belphegor/Niki:

Birthplace: Made in Heaven, resides in Hell.

Birthdate: way before Christ.

Favorite color: White

Favorite food: He is very fond of anything that has noodles, so ramen or pasta, things of that nature. He also loves soup, any flavor.

Hobbies: He's a prankster, and because of that, his brothers do a good job to keep him busy at the River Styx, where he's in charge of managing dead souls and demons. He loves music, so he frequently visits the mortal realm with Sunoo to gain a diverse taste in music. He doesn't pay any attention to girls, he's the youngest and has always been looked after by his elders, specifically Sunoo. Again, not to spoil, but back when they were arch angels in Heaven, Heeseung used to somewhat baby Niki.

Beelzebub/Jay:

Birthplace: Made in Heaven, resides in Hell.

Birthdate: way before Christ.

Favorite color: Green/Jade

Favorite Food: He has a constant sweet tooth, really likes candy, pastries, or sweet drinks.

Hobbies: He loves to visit the mortal realm and observe nature. He also creates a different species of insects and watches humanity discover and study them; he finds that all interesting. Like Sunghoon, he also has a few demon mistresses in his realm, and is a stud when it comes to doing the juicy things...and he does it often. He likes sultry women, which is why his y/n is a bit different from the rest, much like Sunoo's y/n. *another spoiler* As you already know, he's talented with his hands, and he enjoys playing the guitar as much as he likes playing with women's body parts. He goes half and half when it comes to messing around with the demon mistresses and mortal women.

Mammon/Jungwon:

Birthplace: Made in Heaven, resides in Hell.

Birthdate: way before Christ.

Favorite Color: Gold

Favorite Food: He likes seafood and fruit.

Hobbies: He loves his cats. Literally, his cats are his babies, and as you read in Se7en, he filled his entire realm in Hell with the feline species, from lions, tigers, panthers, and domesticated cats, he has them all. He tends to go to the mortal realm and bring them back as he finds them. He's the second youngest out of his brothers, but is feared by many in his own region, due to his merciless attitude, should anyone anger him (remember what he did to that lady's hair in his chapter?) He has a fondness for pretty things, and (slight spoiler) he likes to dazzle his sweetheart with lots of jewelry. He is rational but has a dark side that is almost as bad as his eldest brother....almost. *hint hint* when he gets his own y/n, his favorite position is doggy kitty style.

Helel/Heeseung:

Birthplace: Made in Heaven, created and resides in Hell.

Birthdate: Way before Christ......way waaaaaay before. He's the first arch angel, God's most beloved and favorite angel/creation while he was serving him. In a way, he was like God's first son. No one ever did replace him as the favorite.

Favorite Color: Various shades of purple, though he is more fond of violet and royal purple.

Favorite Food: He's a bit different from his brothers, he didnt' really dabble into mortal foods, although he does now more than ever since he has y/n. Prior to you entering his life, he would sometimes feast on his own creation and eat some of the demons in Hell. It wasn't at all for sustenance, it was more for just the pleasure because the man is cruel, twisted, and psychotic beyond all nature.

Hobbies: He didn't really have many, he was very angry and disgruntled due to feeling betrayed by his former master. His only focus was to kill off humanity just so he could hurt God, but since the discovery of you, that all changed. He now loves to watch you, he'll sit for an eternity just to watch and admire you. After you acclimated to your new 'home', he loves to interact with you, stargaze, or do....unspeakable acts with you. He will go rough and hard, or soft and tender, he'll go both ways just to see the various shades of your reactions and tones when you scream and moan out of pleasure and pain. He loves the idea that he has you for an eternity, and plans to fill Hell with all of his babies through you. He actually really doesn't care about his offspring, he is tender with them while they're young, but his dark nature mixed with his obsession and murderous love he has for you is going to cause some friction with his son's as they get older, especially since they seem to inherit his possessive and obsessive nature for you. If he could, he would spend all of eternity holding you with his c*ck inside you, and your wings intertwining.

hello! i just wanted to say following you for memes and silly goofy haha stuff ive come to realize how insanely talented you are at game design and rpgmaker and just wanted to let you know youve been a huge inspiration to me!! Speaking of rpgmaker, would you perhaps have any words of advice to people wanting to make games in that engine for the first time? ty!!

I keep forgetting to answer this but this is so sweet ;_; thank you so much for the kind words!!! It always makes me really happy when someone follows me for either Joke posts or Art/gamedev stuff and then realizes i do the other half too, and ends up liking that stuff as well. Its super fun

And Im not sure if youll see this but i'll offer my thoughts on RPGmaker too. Ill be repeating a lot of stuff ive said on da blog before but hopefully its still helpful and is more specific to this particular question

So as for RPGmaker, regardless of the version you use -- I use MV, but research and figure out whats best for you -- Id honestly just recommend screwing around in the engine. Start off making junk test projects where you just have fun testing different features. RPGMaker is pretty unique in that its a very "exploratory" engine to learn, theres a lot of tools there for you by default that you dont need coding knowledge to understand, and its really fun to familiarize yourself with them. So its easy and fun to spend a bunch of time making a bunch of horseshit that you dont plan on putting in an actual game as a way of learning

These are the tutorials i watched to figure out rpgmaker MV, very simple and fun. Id recommend just going thru something like these and making doo doo projects to see how it works. Like for example I relearned the engine by making shit like this using default assets. its way too fun.

Once youre essentially familiar with how the engine works and youre like "hey why cant i do this extremely basic thing in the engine already" id suggest searching for plugins! Theyre scripts other people have made that expand what you can do in the engine. Here are all of the ones i use for my game.

I say thsi a lot but i think the most important thing as an RPGmaker developer, particularly one not super versed in coding, is planning your games around what the engine does best and what plugins you know are available. RPGmaker is very good at making what it expects you to wanna make. Its very bad at doing anything else. So if youre like "im gonna make this cool minigame" or "Im gonna make this crazy looking UI" and plan your game around the idea youll achieve those things its gonna be very very difficult for you to do that unless you get a programmer on board. And itll probably be kind of a pain for the programmer as well. Research how feasible it is to get a particular function in the game before you become married to that idea

Also as i always say, i really recommend starting with a tiny project! like take your conception of what a "small project" is and imagine it so much smaller that it seems ridiculously tiny and simple. And youll find that that alone takes way more work than you anticipated. But dont let any of this dissuade you too much, the most important thing is doing *anything* in the engine (and having fun with it). Its great to finish projects but if you end up not finishing one then its ok, you still learned a bunch from doing that

[jonahfagnus]

i dont think you ever posted about your "jon sees elias as jonah when he takes the archivist job" au but please start with that immediately 👀👀👀👀👀👀

so i dont think theres very much that i didnt say in the tags of the post i made about it (unless tumblr ate those for some reason)

but basically. yeah after jon takes the archivist position he starts seeing elias as jonah (at elias' age, not as like. a corpse in the panopticon). obviously he immediately realises that its jonah bcs, yknow, the guys paintings are everywhere.

i imagine jon's train of thought is something like this:

did my boss get possessed by jonah magnus -> no thats dumb ghosts arent real -> im having a psychotic episode -> surely id be seeing other symptoms -> what the FUCK is happening

so a huge amount of jon's desire to find the truth about the supernatural ends up focused on jonah. initially he's just doing research into the actual guy jonah magnus himself but that doesnt really get him anywhere because its not like jonah was like "dear diary im an eye avatar and im going to start putting my eyes into other people so i can be immortal" so he starts doing research into elias instead. which also turns out to be quite difficult just doing normal research.

luckily, jon and elias are decently friendly with each other (at least in early s1, which this would still be). so surely its not weird to try and make sure your relationship with your boss is positive. thats just common sense thats just cultivating a welcoming workplace environment or whatever. and ofc elias is like

bcs this is objectively great! jons leaning into the eye hes considering breaching elias' privacy to learn more about him and ofc hes flattered that jon is so focused on him in particular. so he allows jon to break into his office and look through his things and he pretends he isnt watching the entire time, and he casually mentions some flaws in his home security to try and spur jon into breaking into his house (which he doesnt. yet.)

they're sort of not-quite-dating - tim might joke about jon going on dates with elias and jon gets very flustered and denies it and elias is a little over affectionate in public just to see how jon reacts, but neither of them have any idea that jon's doing all of this just so he can figure out why his boss is (apparently) the founder of the institute.

then prentiss happens. then they find gertrude's body.

i dont think jon gets as paranoid as he does in canon - hes been less of an asshole since all of his focus has gone into researching elias and trying to figure out what the fuck happened. so while i think he does do some research into the archival crew, its mainly research into gertrude herself, and continuing his research into elias. now with added stalking!

and of course elias still doesnt care about the stalking because hes still 1. very happy jon is taking to the eye so well and 2. flattered that jon is so focused on him to the point of stalking him. in my heart i know elias considers stalking to be a form of flirting

s2 goes generally the same but i want jon to find out about the not-them just a little sooner so i can make him go "holy shit! elias got not-them'd! what the fuck!" of course this is completely incorrect if you know anything about how the not-them works but jon. doesnt.

jon, of course, breaks the table. then he finds out that sasha got not-them'd. then he finds out leitner is alive. then he finds out leitner is dead.

who else does he have to go to? he shows up at elias' home, maybe just minutes after elias finishes cleaning up, because a man has been killed in his office and he didnt do it.

because i am a soft elias truther s3 isnt just manipulation and horrible things happening for jon. horrible things still do happen (elias very much doesnt discourage him from talking to jude perry, or mike crew, for example) and elias is still a bastard but its probably not any significant amount more horrible than canon s3 was.

jon probably spends amounts of time talking to elias about what leitner told him (which is hilarious to elias) and elias (against his better judgement) doesnt tell jon that leitner was lying, but instead asks him questions that may or may not lead him to figuring out the entities. he's curious as to what's going to happen, and he's sure jon likes him enough that showing just a little of what he knows wont tarnish their relationship

i dont have many thoughts beyond that - the confrontation probably goes differently, for example, and maybe jon permanently moves in with elias. i cant decide how much of a corruption arc i should give jon (obviously he ends up much more content with the eye than in canon bcs the eye is sexy but i cant decide if hes pro apocalypse or not) but when jon finds out that elias is jonah hes like "oh i know" and jonah is like what the fuck do you mean

[ofthenoseclan]

*me pointing to various Touhou characters asking you to explain them* I would love to know more about this girl!! Love her hat fr

thats marisa kirisame, self-proclaimed ordinary magician, and shes the series deuteragonist! i love her to pieces

she first showed up in the second title, touhou fuumaroku ~ the story of eastern wonderland., which was the first game in the series to be a shmup and the first to have dialogue, so in many respects you could consider her basically around since the start of the franchise. in it, she appeared as a boss fight, but from then on she became the secondary playable character option. shes appeared in more games than reimu has by now actually!

marisa is a human from the human village in gensoukyou who ran away from home to pursue magic. she lives in a shop* she set up in the forest, where she spends her time researching magic and danmaku to improve her skills.

personality-wise, marisa could be best described as tomboyish (i hate this term too but its the quickest way to get her deal across), especially near the beginning of the franchise. she's talkative, quippy, and confident in herself. her trademark manner of speaking includes a lot of "-ze" at the end of phrases, just to hammer this in. as a kid she often behaved in rude or impulsive ways, but in the later parts of the series she's matured quite a bit, and comes across a lot more well-adjusted than reimu in many regards.

speaking of which, marisa is a fun contrast to reimu in tons of ways. although her laissez-faire attitude often makes her come across as rather lackadaisical compared to reimu's jaded, practical outlook on her role in gensoukyou, marisa is much more free-spirited, self-driven, and passionate about her craft. as doc has phrased it in this very very good stream (which i highly recommend as an intro explanation to the franchise despite its length), marisa is "an incredibly hard worker, and doesnt want anyone to know it." compared to reimu, we get narration from marisa's perspective very often, and get a lot of insight into her outlook through it. she serves as the emotional intelligence and learned experience to contrast with reimu's pragmatism, making them a fantastic duo dynamic as the protagonists of the franchise.

she does a lot of research into how to improve herself by analyzing the spells of other characters in the franchise, and determining how best to incorporate their patterns into her own moveset of danmaku—you could consider her an "open source programmer" of magic. her most well-known spell card, love sign "master spark", is a danmaku pattern she borrowed from yuuka kazami, while adding her own touches like the extra star bullets to truly make it her own.

also because i talked about trans subtext for like every other one of these infodumps i should mention she has a lot of that. her given name is made up of extremely unusual kanji (like the "ma" being taken from "mahou" meaning magic), especially compared to her very straightforward last name, which makes it really likely that she chose a name for herself. not to mention the whole "running away from home because your family wont let you be a magician" thing is ripe for analogy. also she lives in the forest and scavenges mushrooms and learns magic what more explanation do you want from me

theres probably more i should add about marisa because shes got so much depth but i cant think of more to elaborate on right now. shes great. if you get into touhou you will see a whole bunch of her, and she will make you love her without fail!

*she calls it a shop, but no one seems to show up and buy anything since it's in the middle of nowhere, nor does she seem like shes interested in selling whatever she has on hand in there.

Hi Arrow. Do you recommend trying TF2? I like the funny guys but I have no FPS experience

Em. I am gripping you by the face. I have not been thinking about anything besides TF2 for the past two months. I absolutely recommend it.

I’m also not really big into FPSs, but I really enjoy the gameplay for it. There’s a fairly outdated tutorial you can play where it walks you through how to play a few of the classes that I found helpful to get a feel for the game, but there’s also offline training with bots that you can play to get a little more practice with each class until you feel comfortable enough to play online (if you even want to).

There’s also a lot of custom maps that people make just to be silly on (the Mario kart and McDonald’s maps come to mind lol). I’m personally a big fan of Mann vs Machine, where you and five others just fight waves of robots.

The game isn’t super great at walking you through things, so you would probably need to either have someone play with you to explain things or do some quick research on it, like reading the wikis or watching some videos about it. It’s pretty easy to pick up once you get it tho!

Also, TF2 has had a huge problem with bots in the past few years, so to be able to communicate through chat, voice commands, or voice chat, you have to spend at least $5 on the game. I just bought some silly cosmetics from the community shop, but you can also buy taunts and other weapons if you want.

There’s a ton to explore in the game and I learn something new every time I play tbh!!!

But!!! If you want to enjoy the silly guys without playing the game!!!! There’s comics!!!!!!!!!!!

There’s a lot of smaller comics that were released to introduce new updates which is really fun, but then there’s the main comic series that focuses on a big overarching plot that’s sooooo funny and silly and heartbreaking <333

It also (imo) helps establish some of the characters in really interesting way. Like they’re all fucked up little clown dudes, but the comics give a bit of insight for some of them. A couple of the characters get brushed over a bit because there’s nine of them and you can only do so much, but it still did a damn good job of getting me attached to them all.

The only problem is…it’s not finished. The second to last comic was published in 2017 and the last one has been “coming soon!” since then. :( I’d still recommended it tho bc the comics are really good! The art is gorgeous and everyone is sooooo silly.

AND if you don’t want to do THAT! Theres the Meet the Team videos that Valve made to introduce each of the mercs, plus a few other videos for updates and other things. I LOVE these. I watch em all the time lol. My personal favs are Spy, Pyro, and Medic but it doesn’t take long to watch them all.

AND THEN There’s a whole wide internet of SFMs (SourceFilm Maker) on YouTube!! A lot of them are super silly YouTube poop-like videos that are rawrXDomgLOL random. This isn’t super my thing so I don’t have any recs unfortunately.

But there was an SFM recently released called Emesis Blue that is driving me to the brink. It’s a full length psychological horror/thriller movie that’s like TF2 but real fucked up. It’s been living in my brain for a solid week. It lowkey kinda gave me nightmares so you may check out the Does the Dog Die page for it if you’re sensitive to horror, or skip it all together.

Also kind of a blanket trigger warning for all media listed is blood, guns, violence, and bodies exploding into cartoon meat chunks. Fun stuff lol.

So there’s a lot of ways to enjoy the fun mess that is TF2. Let me know if you get into it bc hooooly shit I love this funny hat game so much.

[fansnails]

feel free to ignore this message if you don't wanna answer. When I think of "art expert" I think of you lol.

Basically I've been using the same crappy drawing tablet I bought as a teenager and I've been wanting to upgrade for years and years, I could never justify the expense because art doesn't make me money it's just a hobby. but it is a hobby i love. I've saved money, I want to throw down to get a goooood drawing tablet. But i'm super clueless about what tablet that would be. something like a cintiq? If you have any recommendations for brands or what you use I'd love to hear. I get so overwhelmed trying to figure out what to get. If you have any other artist friends who want to input their advice that would be cool too. Even if you don't answer this message or can't give advice, thank you so so so so much for encouraging women to do art. Stuff you've said has really inspired me before and I'm just glad for it. :) thankies!

"When I think of "art expert" I think of you lol."

thats so sweet!!! im not expert by any means but i am passionate about the subject so i can definitely go on about it and lots of opinions. im gonna try and keep this short tho.

Heres a youtuber whos reviews and information i found really helpful and information when i was doing research for a tablet purchase. highly recommend. https://www.youtube.com/@aaronrutten

I've used wacom: bamboo, intuos pen small, intous medium and now my cintiq pro 24. my previous screen tablet was a huion 19 inch.

I used to have a lot of trouble with colors (still learning rn but anyway) so i didnt mind having a tablet with poor color fildelity but knew i wanted a screen tablet. I should have bought wacom cause i did end up wanting to replace it eventually, tho my huion did the job and lasted, its better to do one expensive purchase instead of two.

I agree with what this guy has to say about wacom alternatives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOnt5mLeJ0E Ive only ever used one huion tho so my personal experience could be limited.

Personal preference: i know extremely talented artists that dont use screen or large tablets. I personally have a lot of trouble with smaller non screen tablets. Screen tablets helped me improve noticeably. if you feel like the non screen tablets are limiting you might be like me and benefit from the screen.

I also felt guilt about wanting to buy a nice tablet "what if i fail? what if this just stays a hobby?" theres nothing wrong with that. Why cant you enjoy your hobby and have tools that imrpove your experience?

my main advice: its better to buy an expensive thing once then a slightly cheaper thing that isnt exactly what you want and then have to buy a second one or third. Do the research, find the one you want, even if its more expensive. My first screen tablet was 500 dollars…and it was the cheapest one but it wasnt really what i wanted so i inevitably replaced it with what i wanted the whole time. So research and just try and be sure about what you really want. The more thoroughly you research the less likely you'll have to spend even more money if you have to buy a different thing. If you said you saved and you want it, its worth it. If you just opt for a cheaper one you'll probably end up having to replace or buy a newer one.

[captains0lo]

I really wanna chime in here because I actually have a BA in history and english theatre but then pivoted to a research-focused marketing master's degree (that eventually became very consumer culture, internet culture, and media focused)

We have an ethics class as part of our masters' first of all, and it was actually more aptly described as a philosophy of business (and capitalism) class and I shit you not we read Marx (not just Marx, but we did read some). Obviously most of the class was not super down for communism lmao, but everyone had to engage with the material, give presenations, and so on. My humanities and arts background were CRUCIAL in understanding this class, but also a bunch of research that branches off from communications and performance studies (both of which I touched on in my earlier studies). Now, I'm applying a lot of this knowledge to become a qualitative consumer culture researcher. Transferable skills are so real

I also want to point out that business undergrads and graduate degrees could not be any more different lmao a lot of people in business-focused grad school (at least in marketing since thats my field, but i've also met some people from other programs) are actually SUPER critical of business and unfetterred capitalism. Our profs were quite intense on drilling into us that purposefully misleading people is extremely wrong and absolutely not the point of marketing (ofc, lots of marketing ends up being misleading, and honestly its sad that that even needed to be said I suppose). Nevertheless, I just wanna offer the perspective that a lot of people in the grad research and faculty of business schools (not everyone, but a lot) are there for a series of reasons:

wanted to do comms/media studies/cultural studies/etc but also needed a degree that pays

have a degree in psych, math or other smarty pants fields but want to apply it in a way that is more practical and can actually make businesses Less Shitty and More Ethical

generally want to do research so that businesses dont do as much shitty stuff (wether its identifying systemic inequalities in markets, helping businesses make products people actually freakin want/need, or helping businesses with their energetic transition, or any other thing)

like, ultimately, most of the attitude I see at my school at least is "capitalism kinda sucks, but it be the world we live in now, so let's study it and try to find ways to make it a little less sucky" (now, if you're a proper anarcho-communist, you're not going to think this is any good, and i respect your opinion) (and yes, theres still tons of people absolutely bending over for neoliberal bs, they do exist and they annoy the living hell out of everyone else at the school lmao)

business degree does not automatically equal evil-looking-hand-wringing-while-lurking-in-the-shadows-and-laughing-maniacally OR dumbass who needed 4 years to learn that profit = revenue - spend (business degree sometimes equals bitch with a theatre degree who decided she might as well do theatre/performance venue marketing because she does not have the resources to support herself while she tries to become a succesful director in an industry where most people never succeed or spend years living paycheck-to-paycheck and with 3 jobs trying to get by and make art)

a lot of people i know who got some sort of business undergrad also did so cause they didnt really know what to do with their life or their parents basically forced them. like its much funnier to make fun of the "entrepreneurial types" or daddy's money boys (*retches*) but theyre not the majority; most people in business school just... dont care about it that much (and just wanted a good accounting job upon graduating so they could afford to do fun stuff on weekends)

[spiralstereo]

Hi! I think it's fine if you want to experiment and test out referring to yourself plurally (coming from a system)! Staying anon since we're not out as plural on our own blog, but I do encourage testing out referring to yourself as plural!!

We're also in a position on where we can't get diagnosed either, so I do get your situation, but it does help finding friends who are plural as well which helps and understand more about it! And if you'd want, I could send you a dm if you'd like if you want to know who we are

I wish you luck though on figuring everything out! It does take a while, but I still wish you luck on it :D

TYSM!! we've been thinking about it alot & like- my good friend windy (shoutout to him) got a bunch of resources from his good friend so we really got to see it & understand it. &...yeah i genuinely think i have it

specifically osdd 1-b (we've done EXTENSIVE research... like. reading from actual sources & spending hours learning about the symptoms & different types) but... we're really unsure but at the same time we're sure we might have it!

even if we don't have it like- there are very much 'voices' with names & like... yeah at this point im pretty sure we're a system. theres alot of us in here

but anyways- tysm!! /gen thanks guys seriously-

[the-videodame]

so for yvette, what does she do after the absolute crisis and what's the situation with gale?

ooOOHH this is a good question cause it can have multiple answers LMAO

---

Let's assume this is the branch of her possible endings where she's w/ Gale only, rather than other AUs where Zevlor is included (or where she joins Raphael)

[[spoilers for Gale's possible endings, just for anyone who is reading and doesn't want to be spoiled LMAO]]

Ending 1: Adventurer [the most likely canon ending]

This one is pretty self explanatory, but her and Gale continue to adventure together around Toril. I honestly don't see Yv'ette settling down just yet, as she's still in her prime and is itching to be productive and active. Not to mention she still has that pesky curse on her that she needs to break - and what better person to help her out than the child of magic himself, Gale Dekarios?

The two likely join back up with her pirate crew (perhaps with a few friends from their quests?) and set sail! After a few more years adventuring, partying, and hopefully fixing her curse, then the two likely settle down in Waterdeep and maybe have a kid, and Gale of course becomes a professor at Blackstaff, with the occasional guest visit from Yv'ette and their kid.

I'm debating on if I want them to get married before or after her curse is broken, cause honestly the idea of Hyde - her grandfather and her mothers patron devil, the one who placed the curse on her in the first place - crashing the wedding and stating how he's offended that he, her grandfather, was not invited? Oohohohoggoh I'm such a sucker for "other worldly villain crashes a gathering of sorts to remind the protags of their impending demise" UGH

Ending 2: Straight to Waterdeep

Basically the two decide not to adventure and instead settle down right away in Gale's tower (after Yv'ette informs her crew that shes safe, but won't be returning ofc). While Gale takes on his role as professor, Yv'ette likely has to find a hobby, or attempt to get back into the theatre career.

I haven't thought too much on this one, likely because it's def not in Yv'ette's nature to just sit around the house all day as a housewife LMAO - but also because there's still the issue of her curse, which is a very very pressing matter to her. Maybe she spends that free time researching and planning on how to break it. Maybe she and Gale eventually do retrieve the Crown of Karsus from the river and attempt to use it to free her / kill Hyde? Maybe Yv'ette and her brother Vekyll team up to fight him? Maybe Eilistrae finally hears her pleas and helps her out? Who knows! (not me)

Ending 3: Divinity

So I learned that Ascending with Gale is actually a possibility and not just a "fix it" fanon ending like I thought it was, so OF COURSE I can't resist thinking up an ending where she gets to be divine with Gale.

I think the act of Ascending itself would likely sever the curse she has - either that or the magic both she and Gale will have will be enough to cure it. Thus, I like to think the marks from her curse become either a faded scar-like color, OR they turn silver-ish purple to reflect her storm sorcery heritage (which is why i hope people dont think im copying god Gale's design with his lightning markings being literally on the same side of his face LMAO...)

As for what she'd represent or what her title would be, that's the biggest issue because there's ALWAYS something in lore that already has a deity for it, and theres no like... easy cheat sheet with all the gods and what their titles are and I really don't wanna scour the wiki of EVERY god so heres the big things she'd likely represent:

Storms (specifically lightning)

Sea

Theatre

Burdens

Jealousy/Envy (though this i lean more into if she sides w/ Raphael)

Those who are ostracized (tbh I think it would be pretty sick if tieflings had a "good" deity to worship specifically for themselves)

Acceptance

Persistence / Determination / Victory

I really really wanna associate her with storms cause I can already picture her design having her hair morph or move into something more cloud-like, or becoming iridescent GUH

---

theres also the "gale ascends w/o her" or "gale chooses mystra over her" angst type endings but yknow 😇

[puppywitchling]

I don’t have a lot of time to do witchy things throughout the week asides from Thur/fri where I have less responsibilities, so I’ve really just been spending the free time I get sort of contemplating my place in things, what I’ve learned in the craft, my personal identity and place within the system and our sort of underlying philosophies and what that says about us and how I want to approach this as well. I wish I had something very insightful and thoughtful to say here but all of it is too long and feels a bit too much to put here. But I can say a little, personally where the majority of the system is rather agonistic towards any spiritual or religious beliefs, I don’t think the connection with this is specifically mine as an individual. It’s a tool that’s connected to all of us and I think a different alter would have a different experience but it would be with the same thing, so now I’m not so worried about being dormant or fused as before! It can be so stressful committing to things when your ability to be conscious of exist at all is untenable but it’s very comforting knowing that it’s rooted in all of us to some extend and that someone else can pick up where I left off :). I’ve been practicing drawing sigils as well and I’ve been getting a little better with the basics. I’m not going to use any I’ve made myself because I’m not 100% but I might burn one I’ve made with some help to bring me some more clarity as I move forward, and use the ash for something later. The full moon is in a few days and I fully plan to take advantage of it. I feel a little guilty for not using some of the free time other days on anything but I have other aspects that need time and space and also I need time to recharge and make sure I’m okay, work while I’m not well or that burns me out or hurts me won’t be helpful!! Things will survive if I postpone them a few days!!

I’m doing more research into dogwhistles and red flags, I don’t know all of them though. The tiring part of social media is really scoping other people out for being terrible. It’s obviously really important and I’ve already known a few from being general dogwhistles.

I’ve been practicing some of the symbols related to A.M/O, might make a stamp because that’s easy and little and shouldn’t tire me out too much. Working with a disability here is so irritating, especially when it affects my hands so much =_=

I don’t really know how my underlying identity fits with this. I might be a conceptive of some sort. Also, slightly related but theres a lot of accidental overlap with things like tulpae being terms for multiple unrelated things! We’ve dabbled before with sentient autonomous system members as well as servitors as non sentient non sapient mental constructs. I wonder if a altar in the headspace would be anything? I’ll ponder that later. I need to also make a comprehensive safety list ^_^ I can be so impulsive that having my BoS with me during my practice helps because obsessively checking that is better than accidentally making myself sick. Note to self, work on that.

I’ve discussed astral projection and things as ‘kin things but I’ve not in this perspective nor have I ever practiced it. By I I mean another alter a long time ago though :p. Anyways I’m personally a bit interested but it might remain on the back burner….except a lot of the weekday work means we sit around without much to do for hours and can’t really do much with our hands so maybe it might come up. Meditation is so hard! I’m like many in the system where breathing exercises are a trigger and I’m working through grounding. It’s weird for me because I’m never normally grounded, it’s not returning to form it’s coming into full contact to an alien body and alien reality and it just feels so repulsive. It’s not as panicky as with others even if it is generally a terrible feeling I don’t hallucinate or have (immediate) panic attacks so I think it is possible…maybe just to shift my meaning a bit and view the vessel as again more of a tool that just needs more direct control and attention for a brief period? Would that work? Hm, more reading up necessary.

WITCHCRAFT TIPS FROM UR FAVE (baby) WITCH except its on the sasi blog bcuz i dont want 2 use my main

Also I am an atheistic satantist who practices witchcraft, i am not wiccan. So. These will just b general witchcraft tips & also also ive only been practicing 4 like 3 years, so. Still very much a baby.

TIP 1: RESEARCH LIKE CRAZY. I know this seems obvious, but people like to just Jump In w/o knowing anything & its crazy 2 me. I am a baby witch, I've only been practicing for 3 years, so it's importsnt you get your info from witches who have been witches for much longer. It's kind of an issue w/ its only baby witches pasisng info 2 each other HEJEKDJDJ

But research research research. Read every witchcraft book you can get your little hands on. AND: STAY SKEPTICAL. do not trust everything at face value. Witchcraft is full of cultural appropriation & misinformation, so you need to learn how to critically check ur information & learn from multiple sources.

Also: don't get all your information fron social media. I mean it when I say either physically go to your local library or bookstore and get a book on witchcraft or get one online.

TIP 2: LEARN THE "BASICS": cleansing, protecting/warding, vetting, & banishing. I know this is often recommended before entity work, but hell, I think it's before everything.

Learn how to cleanse your space & your mind & your tools. Research different ways to remove energy, research how it's different from banishing, & research appropriation bcuz again there's a lot of it.

Learn how to protect your space, yourself, and your tools. Research the many different ways to protect yourself, learn how to cast a circle, learn how to make protective items, & learn how to set them up.

If you ever want to work with an entity in the future, whether that be a deity or a demon or ancestor work (i dont think wiccans work w/ demons or ancestors? but i am Just Saying) or whatever it may be, learn to Vet. Learn how to tell if who you are talking to Is Who they say they are. There's a million different ways to vet, but if you ever plan on working w/ entities you have to learn this.

Learn how to banish entities you dont want and learn the difference between this and cleansing. Learn the different ways to banish. Learn about the LBRP, or the "Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram", but please note that's also most likely cultural appropriation but I do not know for certain bcuz I don't do it. So learn if it is or isn't.

TIP 3: WITCHCRAFT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PHYSICAL. a lot of my witchcraft is done online. I have an online grimore (& a physical one) & I have a million apps and websites I go to for tarot and astrology and ETC. I just draw my sigils in my notes app! You can do spells anywhere. Don't feel like you need a million things 2 be a witch.

TIP 4: DONT FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO BUY A BUNCH OF STUFF! or that it has to be "aesthetic". You can get jars at the dollar tree. You can use a fucking chopstick as a wand. You can use an old necklace as a pendulum. You can go outside and ask nature for things for your spells. You can use the things that you already own in your kitchen cabinet for spells. Use birthday candles because they're cheap. Use glue to close your jars, who give a shit /ref. Witchcraft is not about buying everything and spending like a thousand dollars on tools. Be resourceful. Have fun.

Witchcraft has rules, but I think rules are meant to be broken, but don't break them until you know them and understand them.

TIP 5: DON'T FEEL FORCED 2 PICK A PATH OR LABEL YOURSELF. theres a million labels for witches, like kitchen witches or water witches, and then theres the left and right hand path, etc etc. If you fit in one of these, that's great. But it's okay if not. Don't feel like you have to pick one immediately.

I'm an atheistic satanist, but I honor ares & medusa & artemis in a lot of my practice bcuz I look up to them. In the same way I use satan and lucifer as a symbol of how to live my life, I use those greek gods & entities as well. I also learn about daemonology despite not believing in demons. I don't even follow one of the two satanic religions, I make up my own. I mix & mash stuff, I don't pick a path. You should b the same. You are fucking alive do whatever you want forever /ref

you ever wake up with the urge to convert to wicca

[whoree321]

the bad batch + what romance/rom com movies they watch with you

each of the bad batch x gn!reader

ok first and foremost i really truly believe to the pits of my soul that every single one of these fuckos loves romances and you cannot under any circumstances change my mind

ALSO it’s a gender neutral reader except kinda in echo’s theres like a very brief quote regarding breasts but like i still think even that is pretty gender neutral tbh

so anyway

Hunter: Pretty Woman

this is not the first time that i have publicly declared that i think hunter has a deep rooted connection to the movie pretty woman and it will not be the last

first of all this movie is incredibly soothing to hunters overwhelming savior complex

second of all hunter is literally richard gere (debonaire but emotionally distant gentleman that learns to love) and julia roberts (hooker with a heart of gold) at the same time

he was a little skeptical the first time you put it on but he instantly fell in love with it

the humor, the sensuality, the class divide, the glamour, the unconventional cinderella story of it all. it just really butters his bread

after the first time, when you suggest watching a movie and you pick this one he’ll act very aloof about it (“whatever you want cyar’ika, it doesn’t matter to me”) but secretly he’s really really happy bc it’s one of his favorites (you def know this and def pick it more often)

he absolutely hates the scene when stucky the lawyer hits vivian. like it doesn’t matter how many times he watches it he will fully turn his head away from the screen and say “I don’t like this part” and when it’s over he nuzzles a little closer into you and very tenderly kisses your forehead

he loves the soundtrack too. like he fully exposes how much he likes the movie when you catch him singing or humming “pretty woman” or “it must have been love” absently to himself (you kept it to yourself for a while but eventually you just had to tease him about it. he just smiled a little sheepishly and admitted he liked the songs before promptly changing the subject)

hunter also lowkey definitely wants to recreate the ending where richard gere shows up to her apartment in the white limo with you bc he thinks it’s such a sweet gesture and he wants to treat you like royalty

Crosshair: 10 Things I Hate About You

if there’s one thing about crosshair it’s that he’s a sucker for the enemies to lovers genre

maybe its just him projecting (spoiler alert it most certainly is) but he really enjoys watching the drama conflama of a miserable bastard be tricked into love

and really that’s the true essence of 10 Things I Hate About You

he will grumble and bitch and moan about not wanting to watch a ‘chick flick’ when you put it on, but 15 minutes in and he’s hooked

he has strong negative opinions on literally every single character except for kat and patrick

(crosshair really really wants to think he’s patrick but when it comes down to it he is katarina stratford in every single possible way)

he doesn’t say a word throughout the entire movie but you can tell when he’s annoyed at like bianca or cameron or joey bc he will openly scoff at them

will absolutely hum along in your ear during the “can’t take my eyes off you” scene and make out with you during the paintball scene

(seriously he wants to be patrick verona so bad)

when it’s over and you ask him what he thought he’ll roll his eyes and say “i guess it could have been worse” but his little smirk let’s you know he enjoyed it a lot more than he’s willing to admit

Tech: 50 Shades of Grey

ok hear me out on this one

tech is a huge movie talker. like subtitles are a non-negotiable if you wanna be able to take in any of the movies dialogue bc tech is most likely gonna make commentary over it the whole time

this makes him absolutely indescribably so much fun to watch bad/corny movies with

he will go off about EVERYTHING. the plot, the dialogue, the acting, the costuming, the music, the production quality. nothing and no one is safe. whether you just enjoy letting him talk at you or you join in on the roast, cheesy movies are a hoot between you two

and honey. 50 shades is one of THE cheesiest movies ever

you and tech will literally spend the entire duration of the movie tearing it to shreds

and the thing is tech is a very sarcastic, funny guy when he wants to be (and when it comes to you he definitely wants to be) so by the end of it he will have you in absolute stitches from laughing at the ridiculousness of both the movie and him

with any of the other batchers watching a movie like this either turns into a shy, slightly awkward experience (wrecker, echo) or an incorrigibly horny experience (crosshair, hunter)

but in this context tech literally has no shame or squeamishness about sexual things (why should he it’s a natural biological process?) so to yall the sex stuff is just another thing to roast

literally christian grey could be fully tying dakota johnson down and flogging her and tech will be like “in the last 3 minutes they have panned up to her nipples 4 times. this is criminally shoddy cinematography”

even tho he’s busy giving a detailed play by play critique, he never fails to keep some sort of physical contact with you (wrapping an arm around you and running his hand up and down your skin, playing with your fingers or your hair) so you know he’s enjoying spending this time with you despite his nasty words about the movie

also 1000% after you watch it tech will do extensive research on the ins and outs of bdsm and will have lots of hypotheses he wants to test out (as long as you’re willing and able ofc) ;)))

Wrecker: 13 Going On 30

of all the bad batch members, wrecker is the only one who unabashedly loves any movie that could be considered a chick flick

like he doesn’t even try to hide it or act like he’s too masculine for it. he loves romance and he’s proud of it

this man will have full marathons with you. rom coms, regular roms, tragic roms, hallmark roms, you name it and he’s game

his absolute favorite tho is 13 Going On 30

i feel like he has a huge soft spot for childhood best friends to lovers stories like he finds that type of lifelong partnership so endearing (and he loves to live vicariously through jenna since that type of romance was obviously never an option for him)

wrecker is also very childlike at heart and i think the idea of a 13 year old sweetheart trapped inside the body of a 30 year old cut throat magazine exec is so amusing to him (and maybe makes him feel just a little bit represented in the media)

he is definitely the type to completely engulf you in a cuddle for the entirety of the movie and he DEFINITELY cries into your shoulder at matty’s wedding when jenna is crying on the stoop with her dream house

he wants to try razzles so bad. like so bad. i think if he ever came across them somewhere he would barter at least one of his brothers for them

wrecker really just loves love and watching movies about it just reminds him of how lucky he is to have his own love story with you <3

Echo: The Princess Bride

i feel like it’s glaringly obvious why echo loves this movie

pirates. sword fighting. decades long revenge plots. the value of an honorable, loyal man. true love that never wavers even in the face of devastating tragedy and the darkest of hardships. clever but goofy humor.

echo considers this an action/adventure movie and NOT a romance movie (even tho it 100% totally is a romance movie) and requests to watch it very frequently

he can quote the whole thing. i’m seriously telling you echo loves the princess bride with his whole chest

even tho he refuses to admit it’s a love story above all else, he really does try to model himself in your relationship after wesley

like especially given what happened at the citadel and all the time you thought he was dead, the cinematic parellels are alive and present in y’alls relationship and he strives to be even half the man to you that wesley is to buttercup

literally in your day to day life he will sometimes respond to your requests with a smooth “as you wish ;)” (it doesn’t matter how many times he does it it still gives you butterflies)

when you watch the movie, he snuggles as close to you as possible and does his best to make youre comfy the whole time (he’s insecure about his prosthetics hurting you no matter how much you reassure him they don’t)

he just loves to be able to feel your heartbeat and your laugh when you giggle at the funny bits

every single time without fail at the part when buttercup is about to stab herself he leans down, ghosts his lips against the shell of your ear, and whispers the line in time with wesley: “there’s a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. it would be a pity to damage yours”

every single time without fail you wind up making out until he pulls away and tells you to watch the next part when wesley challenges humperdinck to a duel to the pain

echo just loves you to bits and wants you to know he’d endure a thousand fire swamps for you

Omega: Clueless

i have this really specific obsession with omega being a total girly girl and having very traditionally feminine interests as she keeps experiencing the universe and being exposed to a spectrum of gender expression beyond clone (masc and boring) and kaminoan (ugly)

so with that headcanon of her in mind, it’s vital to me that she sees clueless as soon as possible

clueless is an essential piece of media for a girl entering adolescence and i will die on this hill

it has literally everything you want and everything you need to develop into a well-rounded young woman

it’s so deliciously 90s and glamorama and valley girl humor and camp. its got meaningful female friendships and valuable life lessons and paul mf rudd

if there’s one thing you should encourage a burgeoning hetero teen girl to do, it’s to stick to dating guys like paul rudd in clueless. the earlier this message can be broadcast the better

the second you’re able to steal omega away from hunters watchful eyes (“hunter we’re just gonna watch finding nemo i swear!”) you show her this movie

at this point omega is not really a girly girl, but omega also has absolutely zero feminine influence in her life

the first time she sees clueless she is absolutely obsessed. like seriously she is so enamoured with the glitz and glam of cher horowitz

she asks you questions the entire time. she wants to know about EVERYTHING. the makeup, the clothes, the hair, the slang

(she definitely goes around saying stuff like “i’m totally bugging” for long enough afterwards that almost all of the boys have slipped up at least once with some ridiculous valley girl slang. you thought you were gonna die of laughter when you overheard tech say “as if!” to wrecker in the middle of an argument)

it just really introduces her to this whole world of femininity that she didn’t even know existed and she absolutely loves it

she makes you watch clueless with her seriously once a week at minimum. she begs you to style her hair like tai’s and you can’t help yourself when you happen to run across a little yellow plaid dress and buy it for her on sight

(hunter was gonna scold you for recklessly spending credits until he saw how omega almost cried from how happy she was for the gift)

honestly she enjoys the romance of it all and paul rudd is def her first celebrity crush but she enjoys more that you and her now have this special thing of hair and nails and pretty dresses

she loves how confident and beautiful and special you’re able to make her feel, and you love that you get to bring her that small sense of normalcy and happiness

[thegradus2]

Well if you want me to keep going outside of tags ill gladly obige bc boy do i have so many THOUGHTS. These bitches are gonna be stuck on a space ship together for however long theres so much that can happen like for example:

- idk the character from miracle nikki obvs but what youve laid down is already so interesting bc im just imagining these 2 otherworldy beings (even if theyre human theyre still otherworldly ig xD) explaining what the deal is and suddenly the Trash Nobel cale henituse pipes asking actually useful questions like “is the culture different than ours?” And “do they speak the same language as us or do we have to learn a new one?”

- cale is mia for like three days, making the henituse worry frantically, before he shows up with aforementioned documents, books, pie-charts, graphs etc etc on the population, culture, language, etc. cale thinks its the most normal thing in the world and he tries to lock himself in his assigned room to work on it further. He is very surprised to find people not avoiding his existence

- eric is tasked with finding out what the fuck. Cale is like “its very simple really” and then rants for about 2 hours about how to do population analysis and what hes found earth is like “i mean i managed to do it when i was 8, its just that now im doing it based off actual numbers instead of novels and gossip” “what do you mean. Cale henituse, WHAT DO YOU MEAN.”

- alongside with finding a bunch of music, cale finds out abt earth fashion after a week and he tries out a different of clothing style every day: rocker chique, old money, new money, preppy, dark academia etc etc (“cale what… what are you wearing” “on earth they call this fashion aestheric ‘bratzcore’ and its very ‘trendy’. Apparently they show a lot more skin in south korea than in roan.”)

- cale likes carly rae jepsen

- i think the trash cale suddenly mellowing out and actually being friendly with the new people would freak people out. Lily takes it as a chance for her to get closer to cale herself, but basen is initially too shy and hes very jealous of aeon and marina. Cale is still under the impression that people dont like him (his trash act was superb after all) so hes very surprised when suddenly his siblings wanna hang out a bunch

- also idk if people can die on this ship but im sure that at some point people would try to kill eachother (cough, venion, cough). Cue murder mystery, cale solving it way too quickly and alver wanting cale to work for him rlly rlly badly (ive made another post sorr of like this but rehashing plots is my specialty LMAO)

- cale finds out about the earth hobby ‘bedrotting’ and is absolutely delighted. Eric and his family are incredibly worried that hes suddenly staying in bed all day and just looking at the ceiling after being active with his earth research for ~2 months. They think he is depressed. He isnt and has everything under control. (Hes totally depressed 💀)

- cale eventually decides to work with alver bc he thinks alver would be the best person to introduce their worlds’ population to the earth population when they arrive. They work on immigration plans together, like planning out housing matters, making korean language courses (especially for all the kids, no matter what class they were originally from), culture courses, actually maybe they just make a whole curriculum for people to distribute and learn. When alver asks how much korean cale knows, cale can already write whole sentences. Alver doesnt know why hes surprised at this point

- maybe some slowburn ogalbecale after they find they work together so well and them spending time together ;0

- Eric: “cale, this is an intervention. You made a whole personality for yourself, and youve insinuated that your alcoholism and anger issues were from a similarly crafted persona. Talk to us!” Cale: “I dont see the problem?? My friend alver over here has been doing the exact same thing so it cant be *that* concerning” Tasha: “…alver, this is an intervention-“

- concensus: YOU IDIOTS YOU CAN JUST BE YOURSELVES STOP TRYING TO ALTER YOURSELVES SO PEOPLE WILL PERCEIVE YOU A DIFFERENT WAY THATS MENTAL ILLNESS BEHAVIOR. ESPECIALLY YOU CALE GOD SO HELP ME…

- i have no idea if this would be bad worldbuilding but idc i had this thought where maybe even tho obvs their status doesnt mean much anymore (at most its just leftover social customs staying in place somewhat) everyone gets their own credit card with rhe amouny of money they had in their og world digitalized. The henituse go from completely neutral to the most powerful family (bc they have the most money). The crossmans also have a lot of money but alver knows his family is gonna have issues w him so hes extra relieved to have connections with cale

Ngl, the Ark of Miracle Nikki sounds like the perfect way to get characters transmigrate from a world to other.

I mean, imagine most people from TBOAH getting suddenly teleported into a massive (techno? magic? fashion inspiration fueled?) flying ship, which can travel through the space-time, because "your world is doomed because of an asshole. We're so sorry. Please feel free to use the facilities and rest until we arrive to your new home".

Besides, I would really like to have og!Cale befriend Aeon and Marina. They would get along, specially having in count that "new world" means their nobility is nothing. He wouldn't need to hide himself and they aren't from his world, so no precoinceived ideas.

Besides, Marina is a kid. Og!Cale would look at this cheerful lively kid and wouldn't be able to hold back his big brother instincts. "She's a lot like Lily when she was a toddler", he probably would think. (Because, yes, I headcanon that og!Cale spent a lot of time with Lily when no one was around and she was still "too young to remember". Lily isn't sure whether she dreamed it all or not)

And imagine Aeon introducing modern music to og!Cale. Og!Cale, who may had learned music when he was a kid (classic noble kid activity), liking many of these various styles of music, all so different from the elegant ones the noble likes and the vivid ones he heard at the streets and bars. Then Marina telling him that Aeon also writes songs, but warning him not to listen them in a way too serious tone (she's such a gremlin).

And between all that you still have the tboah characters aclimatizing to the idea of a new world, fixing relationships, and planning what to do now that their status mean shit (poor royal family. Ha.)

Just a transmigration story where the characters have time to talk with their family and adjust before being send to other world.

Maybe the world they're going to is the Soo's Earth. One that is on its way to recovery, but has way less population than before.
