#but her behaviour wouldnt change if not

🌾 Dawndawndawndawndawn

What would your OC be like if they were evil?

OOO this is such an interesting one.. honestly cant really imagine dawn of all people being evil tho...

She would probably be similar to the coyote (current monarch of the neighboring kingdom) where she'd keep all her citizens super happy just to keep them loyal and make sure anyone turning against her would be ratted out by the rest, or the cult leader route in other words. Her approach would be more towards the 'innocent good royal lady who can do no wrong' type of caricature though in contrast to them, since they have slightly different goals than her. I'd assume she'd still be interested in nature and flowers and whatnot as well and that's easy to turn into people seeing you as childlike and good-natured. Evil dawn would basically just try to fake having real dawn's personality to the public.

in private she would be a lot more cruel to her friends, making them do all her work for her, snapping at them when angry, would easily get into dissagreements with both of them honestly. She'd still care about them though and would absolutely throw a fit if any of them wanted to leave, and then would immediately turn to 'how could they leave her alone and scared here what if something bad happens' n stuff like that or worse if there was any serious chance of them leaving. Would still make flower crowns n stuff tho n vibe with them. The kinda friend that's nice n fun to be around on good days but annoying as hell on bad days.

ykw actually I am angry + disappointed w them. I've been pushing how I feel aside and trying to make it my own fault so it's all contained but I think theyve just been mean. and they really should know me better ik I try to pretend I don't expect more from them so I feel less hurt when they do things that upset me but we've been friends for years by this point. like come on.

[dandyshucks]

once again trying to decide if i should show counselor/therapist my selfship art bc she asks to see any art I've made that i want to show her each session fjfkdl ,,,, i probably won't because I'm still terrified of being judged for it but mannnnn that rly has been almost all I've made these past two months ( ╥ω╥ )

[onsomeplanet]

I am sure the Joe Goldberg reference was a joke because he is in fact a stalker first and she is indeed engage in stalker behaviours, even if in a way that is incredibly relatable.

Taylor Swift watching her ex on a location app because he forgot to turn it off I'm obsessed with you admitting that to the entire world.

[prosciuttoon]

Anyway, Shuro isn't the only character with problems, he isn't even the only Japanese/ Eastern Archipelago character, so not the only one with that specific background. And yet, he sure is the only one who acted out the way he did.

If you like him for .. whatever reason (narcissism? Based on your posts, I guess), that's fine, but like. There's extremely valid reasons for not liking him that aren't just "ur racist" or "you just don't understand!!!!"

hes the only one that acted out bc he was the only one that laios was interacting with that was the reason they fought?? laios wasnt talking to hien or benchidori or maizuru like that he didnt even meet them until he reunited w shuro in the dungeon

and when did i ever say “you’re racist if you hate him” all i did was talk abt the cultural context of his upbringing that would make him a terrible communicator. also, narcissism is such a weird word for liking a character a lot? and its not like im making him look innocent and flawless bc im literally explaining his flaws and where they come from. if someone doesnt like him bc he reminds them of someone that hurt them im not gonna try to change their mind, wouldnt hurt to know Why he acts like that but if theyre informed and still dont like him thats perfectly fine!!!

since i think u sent 2 asks ill just put the first one here and answer it too:

in the post abt him leaving izutsumi in the dungeon to come back “if she wants to” the “nuance” i was talking abt was the fact that he said “if she wants to” i.e giving her a choice to return (which she didnt do because she hated that place obv). also sorry hes not powerful enough to abolish slavery in his country, hes not even the heir to the family. dont think the eastern archipelago is strictly based on a specific time or reality in japan, probably just inspired by reality but not based on it, so shuros family is likely one of many families serving their “feudal lord” who rules a province of the country. in history, feudal lords were also under shogun and the emperor, but neither are mentioned in the manga iirc so i will guess that wasnt the case.

my aim w my posts isnt to force ppl to change their minds on whether or not they like a fictional character. im just giving an extra perspective w stuff from extra content plus my own experience (i.e being asian too) that some people may not know about. what they do w the info is up to them im not trying to tell people how to think. if they learn smth that changes their opinion fine if they dont also fine its not that serious. im just talking about my interpretations of the character.

if i see a critique i may think “wait but do they know about [insert notable info]”. if they dont know, would maybe be good to know bc its important to the character, if they do know and thats the conclusion they came to, thats it! i dont do any more than that n ur acting like im forcing everyone to like him.

tldr; just cuz i am explaining the root of his flaws doesnt mean im ignoring them. i still call him what he is! a loner who cant set boundaries and it only makes problems for himself and people around him, but i also happen to be interested in Where the behaviour comes from! (which happens to be heavily due to culture). doesnt mean im calling u racist if u dont like him wut

[notnights]

This is gonna be long because im an overthinker AND an overtalker- sorry in advance 😭

alright so i found out you wrote a fic for Ribbuns and immediately went off to check it out, and the tags actually scared me cause my taste for ribbun fics is smthn cute and fluffy- bc they get enough hate as it is, i didnt want them to hate eachother as well lol. Idk, the tags made it seem as if there wouldnt have been a happy ending where they both end up liking eachother.

BUT once I read it!! yes it started off negative, Gangle hating him and the overall relationship theme being kinda toxic (its probably tame but im not mentally strong for this ok) although its deserved since, you know, Jax. No hate to him or anything, the fic says it all lmao

but the way you write them-- it made me open my eyes to this type of relationship between them, particularly on how Gangle had- what, a power trip?- in this relationship, treating Jax badly but him still loving her. Woke smthn up in me frfr; ESPECIALLY THIS (along with more scenes but i esp like the power Gangle is shown to have here over him):

----------------

He shuts up when she says his name though. Nothing more, just a clear command to stop and a quick glance up to his face. Will question why that tickles her brain later.(Acetate Tears, Chapter 1)

----------------

this made me fall in love (as well as understand the trope more) for power trips in toxic love.

Almost made me change teams, to look for angsty toxic ribbun content despite my mentality, until:

----------------

Jax leans into her, pounces. Gives her silly wet kisses. She gives a squeaky scream. Weakly attempts to push him away from her, despite knowing she deserves this. Well maybe not this specifically , but some form of punishment. (same source)

----------------

THIS made me giggle and kick my feet in glee, reminding me of my love for soft kisses in fics

TLDR; your fic is honestly one of the best Ribbun fics ive read so far (im still digging through the tags!! I'm desperate for more!!) and it also awoken smthn in me that i tried to ignore hehe.

I LOVE your perception on their relationship, their behaviours, mindset, everything! Here's to hoping you'll write more ribbun, but its ok if u dont!! 🐰����

(im not good with words, but i hope my love for your fic is shared thru this jumble of words lol. I also hope episode 4 gives more depth to Ribbun's relationship that can bring more supporters instead of hate, since its gonna be focused on Gangle🤲)

((OH and im sharing my thoughts here instead of ao3 bc i'm super duper shy for no reason -carbon footprint scares me- and somehow tumblr asks in anon mode isnt as scary. Again, srry im saying so much 💀You dont hv to answer this since its long and not rlly an ask lmao))

Aw hey this is sweet thank you! You're all good, I am also an overthinker and overtalker (if that hasn't been apparent by the way I answer asks already) so I get it!

the tags actually scared me... Idk, the tags made it seem as if there wouldnt have been a happy ending where they both end up liking eachother.

Hey that's alright! That's what the tags are for to make sure this is something a potential reader can handle or get prepare for! The unfortunate thing is I obviously don't want to give away too much with them such as the happy ending, so I totally understand if it wards some people off. Respect for those who know their limits!

I also wanted to leave the ending a bit ambiguous as to if they truly ended up together or not. And depending on what you're hoping for with the story might not be the happy ending [Ganlge voice] you were hoping for.

particularly on how Gangle had- what, a power trip?- in this relationship, treating Jax badly but him still loving her.

One of my favorite things in stories about relationships is that one brings out something in the other they didn't know they needed to let out. Helps balance themselves out. Jax lets Gangle let out more than just "sadness" he lets her find out she's more than a pity party, she has anger to release and resentment to express (among other emotions). She has more than two emotions.

And while this is primarily a comment on Gangle, (this ain't about Jax right now...) Gangle lets Jax find out he's someone capable of relinquishing and receiving of love (the thing about him hating the idea of them having a "happily ever after.")

THIS made me giggle and kick my feet in glee, reminding me of my love for soft kisses in fics

Glad to hear it! I do really like Jax and Gangle being cute. But I like it more when it's after all the hard stuff. One of those well earned things. A cold glass of lemonade after mowing the grass. Eating something salty before eating something sweet and it makes it taste even sweeter!

A lot of folks make cute Jax and Gangle content that it makes me forget I don't make enough of it. Those of y'all who make cute stuff balance out whatever the hell I'm doing over here! So thanks for that.

All these things are very kind of you to say also! Thank you! It means a lot that you came to say them even though you were so shy!

Good luck with your searching! I hope you find more that you enjoy.

And yess I'm very excited for the Gangle episode either if it has some interaction between them or not. Because while I ship them and they're my two favorite characters, as my boyfriend describes "you just like Jax as an accessory to Gangle." Oops! Here's two hoping that sticker set implies there is some more meaningful interaction between them there.

[speakofthedebbie]

this one goes out to my platonic soulmate @starryeyeddreamer21 :3 (IDK HOW MY HCS ENDED UP SO SIMILAR TO YOURS I SWEAR IT JS HAPPENED-)

only the hazbin gang + luci and cherri cuz im biased

hazbin charas rated least to most likely to crash the car during the charlie-mandated bonding road trip

husk

dont wanna js repeat what i said here but i strongly believe he would be the least likely to crash. forget what people say about old people driving, id trust his old man back over literally anyone else any day of the week.

2. alastor

(whaat i was checking when cars were invented to see if he would even know how to drive one no siree-) on a serious note, while i just cant picture him driving, i feel like he would still know how out of principle. he'll def put on some jazz and throw you out the window if you try to change it.

3. luci

while starr (can i call you that?) brings up the good point of him not needing to cuz flying/teleportation/having drivers, you cant really live as long as he has without knowing a thing or two. his ass would def need pedal extenders tho LMAO-

4. vaggie

she also tech need to cuz wings/princess of hell girlfriend priviliges, i wouldnt put it past her. but once again, gonna need some pedal extenders-

5. sir pentious

while he doesnt have feet, im sure hed be more than able to make a lil something. i mean he piloted a zeppelin, im sure he can manage a car-

6. charlie

inspired partially by Igual (long winding chaggie fic that you should totally check out!), i feel charlie would be the type to just.. not know how to do basic things cuz of her sheltered upbringing (no hate to her parents, lord knows theres a lot of shit to shelter her from in hell lol) she would be waaay too overly cautious, to the point where it earns her more problems. i wouldnt exactly trust her behind the wheel, but if worst came to worst it probs wouldnt be that bad.

7. niffty

first of all, short. second of all, given her already erratic behaviour in the show, im not sure it would be wise to trust her in a vehicle. that is if they dont forget her loud house style LMAO-

8. angel/cherri

theyre both so bad they had to share a tier. likewise to starr, theyre def the daredevil types. to quote starr: "[Angel]'s always driving like he's running from the cops" and honestly, given his life history, he probs was LMAO- i love them, but i would not trust their asses behind the wheel if it killed me. just like them driving probably would-

seriously, go check out starr's version! i was focusing purely on the driving aspect, so theirs is more in dept

next up, picking random ass words and making hazbin headcanons out of them- (jkjk... unless?)

[sturnsreckless]

okay girly so i need your help...

im gonna jump straight into it but im 'dating' my best friend's brother........... I KNOW

so her brother is like 3 yrs older than me (im 16 he is 19..) and the reason why this all started was because if i went to her house, she literally wouldnt hang out with me. LIKE IM BEING FR she would be on her phone, ignoring me if i tried to talk to her etc.. which started last year

and so her brother (being the kind person he is) would hang out with me instead!!! and so i would spend most my time in his room or with him in the kitchen etc to the point that the sleepovers i was meant to be having w my best friend were js an excuse to have a sleepover with him - in his bed.

and so one thing leads to another and now we're 'dating' but its really unofficial, like with that i mean he barely texts me and we do hook up often but always at his house (js weird little things yk)

another reason why we are 'dating' (unofficial) is because he is known for being a player and hooking up w multiple girls at the same time so im so stuck and idk what to do bc my best friend still doesnt know about this!! anyways thats all

okay okay! girl i hope you’re 17 soon because if not, he could catch a case but do ya thing!!!!!

also FUCK THE SISTER (not literally). GET HER OUTTA HERE W HER NEGATIVE ENERGY.

but if he’s a player just watch your step, yk? maybe don’t jump into it all too quick, check things like instagram followers and see if any of the girls have posts/highlights of him just incase he has a girlfriend no one knows about? and just watch what you’re doing. i don’t have much advice on that because i’ve never been in that sort of situation but i could try n help you out.

so yeah don’t jump into it way too quick, let it go on and see if his behaviour changes over the time because most boys that are looking for hookups n things like that NEVER stick around for long/want to stay in the girls company.

also don’t feel pressured to tell your best friend!!!!! you don’t have to!!!!!!!

but i hope it all works out for you🤍 if you have any questions or things like that just ask, don’t be scared 💋

[shit-people-probably-didnt-say]

Every umbrella's favourite/least favourite crow?

Luther would relate to Matthias, both have that loyal to something that actually turned out to be terrible background. They also are displeased by some behaviours of those around them. Least favourite would be Kaz, he is too ruthless and personally motivated. Kaz isnt about the “greater good”

Diego Ive got to say Inej for obvious knife related reasons and having a code they live by. He’d probably butt heads with Matthias because hes so similar to Luther

Allison would also love Inej, a resilient strong woman who doesnt take shit is right up her street. I can see her struggling to find common ground with Kaz and Wylan. She wouldnt dislike Wylan but she doesnt have much in common with him and as for Kaz? She doesnt trust him as far as she can throw him. His secret motives have alternate secret motives and Allison needs some control over a situation or she loses it

Klaus is of course going to vibe with Jesper. If you gave Klaus guns they’re basically the same person with different addictions 😅. As for least favourite Im going with Matthias. Matthias duty and honour nature is just polar opposite to Klaus’ hedonistic lifestyle

Five is a cut up between Kaz and Wylan. He would like Wylan as they are both science brained and happily talk back to authority figures despite being physically smaller. And I can also see Five respecting Kaz for his ability to be 3 steps ahead of the enemy and figuring out impossible tasks whilst not shying away from using violence when necessary. Fives least favourite would be Nina. Shes too loud and lacks finesse and a history of going rogue which he would consider a liability on missions.

Ben 1.0 I feel would like Nina especially after her grisha powers are changed into something that feels monstrous and that she doesnt know how to control. Much like how Ben 1.0 felt about his powers. He also came across as shy so Ninas confidence and ability to get people out of their shell would work well with him. Ben 1.0 would probably not dislike any of the Crows, but Kaz would unnerve the hell out of him. I cant imagine them having easy chit chat

Viktor’s favourite is also going to be Wylan, fond of music and having especially harsh treatment from their fathers? Trauma bonding buddies 💖 as for least favourite? I dont think he’d have one. Theres parts of each Crow that Viktor would like or at least understand or empathise with

spades slick's possible reactions after sexual assault - short response to nonnie

here is a basic hypothesis on the matter: For spades slick it's easy to say one thing or that he'd react one way to a certain concept, perhaps in ways that are traditionally understood as 'grief' or 'trauma' responses. But this concept is broader than most and the label of the topic isn't truly important regarding the way he internalises his own experience. he likely wouldnt even be able to accept a labelling of events as "sexual assault" and would merely describe and process events 1:1 to the way they occurred in his world.

therefore it would matter above anything else the exact events that transpired and how he interpreted them and to what level he was affected by each event. Even as he displays an animalistic mindset that entails not thinking much about anything and mostly only taking actions his mind will process things with varying levels of consciousness and his behaviour will change afterwards.

So with a description of a few specific events we can go into his interpretations of these events and find out the ways he would behave as a result. since it happened to him as a middle aged adult his worldview shouldnt drastically change and he would understand the event as it fits into his existent world view. Let' s take a look

Scenario A: Assaulted by unknown male Scenario B: Assaulted by unknown female Scenario C: Snowman abuses him sexually Scenario D: Droog abuses him sexually

his takeaway from each event would highly depend on the perp. AB are random events perpetrated by randos. CD are assumed to be long term and from 'trusted' beings. In order for anyone to physically overocme him long enough for assault/rape to happen there would need to be a few conditions - they take advantage of his disabilities to surprise him and/or multiple people are involved. hed probably be drunk or something walking alone at night so his defences would be variably weakened. Anyone could see the eyepatch indicating that he's blind on one side and take advantage of it no matter how much he's adjusted himself to keeping alert with one eye. However, after being attacked, and after some struggle, he would EVENTUALLY find a way to wiggle out of the situation (He is crafty) and get away and possibly kill most poeple involved. these are the parameters of the circumstances of the situation and how he will escape. No need to graphically describe how it happens. The second general point is a bit obvious but those circumstances in which any perps got the jump on him would be noted, however, he is unaware of the extent to which he adjusts his behaviour. If they took advantage of his blind side he would feel acutely frustrated at having to acknowledge he's lacking in that area (see disability house MD nonacknowledgement paragraphs) but becomes hugely more vigilant/paranoid to make up for it.and the same for anything else. Not much needs to be said

If a woman does it - he has no capability of understanding this as rape. it's different from snowmans treatment becaues other women are random, fragile dames that are dependent but Snowman is understood to be on a higher level in all ways. if a dame managed to do this to him he'd simply be confused, and any parameters that allowed her to take advantage of him would be noted, but in terms of assault he wouldnt truly care. this is the scenario that would mentally impact him the least because he makes it out as some woman having had sex with him even though there was likely some violent element to it. He counts it as a lay

If a man does it - highest possible impact. He knows he has been sodomised. on one hand this is somewhat like any other kind of violence that could have occurred, and he would never take a random event like this personally. he primarily blames the demographic that he perceives to be hte kind to do this, rather than seeking a higher 'reason' for it to have happened (he's not introspective enough to be capable of self blame). He exclusively thinks of the perps as "faggots" and if they're part of any other societal group (homeless) he would include that in his insults as well. therefore his highest takeaway involves what he felt during the encounter. If he were touched even against his will he would have become aroused as a purely physical reaction. but he interprets this reaction as having been "into" the event, and fixates on what this means. he quickly forms the conclusion that he must be secretly gay in some way, and that he's now a "faggot" like those men, which is a heavier thought to him than the fact the sodomisation happened at all. his new defensiveness over anything implying that hes into men/likes what men do to him would be more of a giveaway that something happened rather than any other response hed have. shortly afterwards he may also try to combat his new conclusion by finding a woman to sleep with. however since he does this a few days after the incident the sexual touch only makes him think of it again and he has an extremely poor reaction. He interprets this as having had "male fantasies" during hetero sex and takes it to mean that the woman herself was repulsive to him .

continuation of this world - if it occurred in an existent world where droog has been macking on him and casually acting perverse towards him . Rather than suddenly becoming extremely sensitive over droog's advances like one might think, he may actually turn the opposite way and become more passive towards the advances because he conceptually thinks he "likes" it now, when before the event he would react with disgust/rage since he thinks droog is a homosexual. now he's no better. However all of these discomforts would slowly build up to a huge, deep disturbance witihn slick, who doesn't have the tools to understand and identify the source. He would probably just take it out through more extreme violence towards civilians/people he dislikes.

When it comes to both scenarios C&D they are more of long term 'disturbances' that could potentially cause shifts in his worldview due to his mind having to acclimate to the circumstances. in addition to this it's plausible that snowman has ALREADY perpetrated this towards him more than a few times since that's just what they do... it could be said he would put up with any level of abuse from snowman and may also see an act of this nature as more shitty sex. no one in his life would have anything to add to the matter either because everyone knows what he has going on with her. To be honest i don't remember whatever i was planning to explain about the droog story but slick's mentality within the hypothetical circumstance along with their existent relationship can be extrapolated easily.

But yea Just a few quick thoughts

[tojikai]

Hey Kai I have a question

Would Naomi still be a good person? If her and Satoru were still together and he went ahead and married her? Would she change? Because I would be surprised if she was! Because like Girl no matter who said it! You do not SA your boyfriend! Try to baby trapped him so that he won’t leave you! And just because his mom gave you the idea! Doesn’t make it better! I don’t care how convincing she was to you but no one is that convincing!

Let say hypothetically that Naomi continues to listen to momm Gojo and listen to her advice and it was influenced her.

Would she treat Yui different if Yui started to resemble y/n? I know Yui is a blanking copy of Satoru appearance wise in term of hair colour and eyes etc I mean like bone structure in the face, body type and maybe even in her behaviour and personal taste.

To the point that people could that Naomi is clearly not her mother. Would she treat her differently once she got own baby? Would she start to hate her? Would she try to get rid of her? Because it ruined her perfect idea family image and like maybe send her to a boarding school? When she can’t visit her father coincidentally and not at all in intentionally but is always able to see her mother. Would she stop caring about Yui if she had more of own children or her own baby girl?

How would Satoru react? Would he stay with her even though she changes?

Would he suffer the same fate as his father? Yui and Y/n disappeared from his life entirely and lived his life with Naomi. Or would he divorce her and try to find them?

if she didn't SA satoru, well i dont know if i could really say good person bc she disrespected yn, when as a woman she should've known how yn would feel. if Satoru and her got married, i wouldn't say she'd get mean but i feel like she'll feel like she has more rights than yn (which would be true, bc she'd be his wife then🥹) i see her getting braver and firmer with her demands. but the fact that she SA'd Satoru—even if she was manipulated or not—is already proof that there's something wrong w her. bc even if satoru's mom pushed her to do that type of shit, she has a brain. she should've used that. it's a no-brainer, really, all she needs is a sense of morality to know if what she's doing is right or wrong and we all know what she chose smh. anwaysss if Yui started to resemble yn, hmm no. i dont think she'll treat the kid badly. she's quite fond of yui. it'd be a different story if she got her baby tho, she'd put that baby first. i'll say there might be a very tiny bit of jealousy if her kid doesn't get the same treatment as Yui (toys, gifts etc) but not to the point where she'd be a villain to the kid's life. she'll still care for Yui but ofc, she'd be putting her own kids first.

Satoru wouldn't allow any mistreatment towards Yui. or any of his kids. it'd be a really big problem for them if Naomi starts acting up and being mean to Yui. he'll only tolerate so much before he takes action.

if yui and yn disappeared while he's married to naomi, i doubt he'd stay like his father if he doesn't really want to be with naomi. he's already seen what it did to his family, and he wouldnt want his kids to go through that so, divorce, babe, divorce :')

[looptroupe]

since goe and lup have the ancestors they do i wonder how they would approach the prospect of having kids? Fuji doesnt seem like the kinda person whod want kids of her own but i wouldnt be surprised if lups been with other women. Goe doesn't seem interested in romance at all for the most part but maybe thatd change once hes a bit older. How would they manage kids while being thieves I wonder 🤔

Oooh… this is a good one!

I can’t see Lupin ever settling down for long enough to ever actively parent a kid. Of course, his legacy is important to him, as it has been to his father and grandfather, but he’s never been one to do things by-the-book.

Goemon, I thjnk, would be more inclined to live a slower, easier life. He knows he can’t pretend to be young forever, even if that doesn’t necessarily mean having kids.

Lupin is great with kids from a merely entertainment-centric standpoint. He’s animated and wacky and constantly in-motion; and most kids love that! His natural charm makes him a wonderful candidate for children’s birthday parties, but not so much for babysitting. He is, of course, level-headed enough to safeguard a child. He cannot, however, be trusted not to let them get away with murder.

In fact, he… actually actively encourages bad behaviour. In his experience, breaking rules is great, and it’s exactly what he did as a kid. And who wouldn’t want to turn out like him?

On second thought, maybe don’t leave your kids around him at all. Just to be safe.

When it comes to kids of his own, Lupin is pretty indifferent. He loves the idea of having someone to carry his family name into the future, but he knows he could never be a reliable father figure. He recognises first-hand how messed up it is when your dad is some daredevil big-name thief, and he knows that he couldn’t possibly give up his lifestyle for long enough to break that cycle.

Over time, maybe he starts to recognise that there’s potential for an adopted heir of some kind further down the line? I can see him taking an older kid under his wing and teaching them the tricks of the trade, and I think that would be a much better fit for him and his nature and the level of responsibility he can reliably be trusted with. We know that he’s more than comfortable sharing his life with his found family, and I think having an heir who isn’t necessarily a blood descendent wouldn’t be any kind of issue for him.

The Lupin name itself is important to him, however, and he’d make a huge deal of passing it down to someone else. You don’t get to wear the Lupin name and not live up to the legend. He’ll make it his mission to haunt you otherwise.

In short: they’ll have to be one badass kid.

Goemon isn’t planning on settling down any time soon, either. Though he toys with the idea, he knows that he isn’t satisfied with his own abilities yet. Training is rigorous and the hours he spends away are long. He can’t in good conscience have a child when he’s so busy bettering himself.

With that said, he is well aware of the slow passage of time. He recognises that they’re all going to get old one day, and when he can no longer work, he will need other things to keep him busy and fulfilled. While he has no active interest in children, he doesn’t totally write off the idea. It’s just… there, in the back of his mind. A situational ‘maybe’, if you will.

After all, Goemon… struggles, shall we say, with children. He finds it a little grating to constantly have to explain himself and the world around him, especially in simple terms. While he’s kind and generous in his own way, it’s clear that the distance he keeps socially might not always gel with raising a kid; especially when it comes to teaching societal norms and expectations.

To Goemon, in opposition to Lupin, his name is less about passing it on and much more about making sure that he himself does it justice. He is going to be the best he can be, because that’s what his name implies. The weight of his family’s history is on his shoulders: THAT is what’s important to him.

With that said, I think out of the two of them, Goemon is most likely to have children of his own. While Lupin may have a protégée, Goemon would likely take a much more active role in parenting a potential child. I think he’d secretly enjoy all of the baby babbles and firsts he’d get to experience. As long as he had a helping hand, so he could slip away for a break every now and then.

The secret third answer to this prompt is Zenigata, by the way. Again, not the most… devoted or present father, that’s for sure, but certainly the best father figure out of the whole gang. Probably the most likely to have children, too, considering he’s been there, done that, left to get the milk.

Also definitely the most intent on passing down his name. If he wasn’t insanely obsessed with Lupin, I reckon he’d be living a stereotypical nuclear family lifestyle. Definitely deep in the closet, but you know what? At least he’s great with kids.

[blamemma]

very weird take to defend Kelly for “protecting his privacy” as if her and her friends posting ig stories in real time isn’t what got the paps called on them multiple times. It just happened over break, it’s only this year that she started posting where she was a day later. Lando lets other people post where he is just the same, him parting in the Nederlands is all over the tl but he doesn’t get mobbed like Charles does. Weird to blame Charles for not “maximizing” as if it happens to others like this when it really doesn’t, not to this degree

oh my god its literally like she learned from her previous behaviour and adapted how she behaved so that that didnt happen anymore....shocking news: human person changes their ways.

the ask i received mentioned charles after i used him as an example as someone who gets mobbed and how i wouldnt want that for max. i see nothing about lando. idk when and where he gets photographed nor do i care because i do not think about lando or care about him?

genuinely interested in what taylors reading here, assuming it isnt required reading for school since the prt seems to have regulations on and about juvenile capes

i wonder if its twilight?

self care!!! (she would not give herself this kind of time off if she werent in prison)

taylors back to her favourite pastime again!

the logistics around this would be very funny to figure out, though i pity the sap that has to change the bug-ket when it gets full

that explains how quickly they got it, i had assumed dragon was just being creepy and had pre-made the hero!skitter costume in the hopes it came up.

this way is probably better

...

yeah, nah that's not gonna work. "mistakes" is doing a bit too much heavy lifting on your part armsdealer

he is staying as STILL as POSSIBLE (goofy guy behaviour)

so were currently 2 for 2 on PRT non-cape fuckheads, lets see how he holds up! (either way i somehow doubt he is long for this world)

Mrs Yamada. I like where you're coming from but therapy + 10 judgemental onlookers might not be the best call.

aw fuck hes getting downright endearing

REAL (clockblocker has shot up to S tier)

WORLDS SLIMIEST MAN (its nice that hes on taylors side but like wow this guy is shit)

GIRL!! NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR SPOT CHECKING!!

she does not give up on her hobbies gd

dont worry, all im doing is setting up a large scale surveillance state, perfectly ethically and legally sound.

okay ignore any bad ting i may have ever expected to say about glenn.

THIS MAN GETS IT

YES!!!

WERE GETTING DOWN THE PRESENTATION!!!!

the dissonance is too powerful for him, he's seen taylor at some of her most nightmariest highs and now she's going through the same public relations hoops he had to

i really wasnt trying to find him this charming, i really wasnt

taylor drops ONE (1) bugfact and suddenly shes getting called a nerd. maybe the endbringers are right, we really should kill them all

d-doesn't he go to classes on exacty this?

what am i saying, he wouldnt pay attention in school

yes actually, 'disturbing' does suit your swarm of insects quite well as an adjective

i get that we're supposed to be a little annoyed at the constant micromanaging but i expected theyd do at least this much, im surprised she didnt get some media training beforehand, theyre being pretty hands off, all things considered.

maybe thats because they want her to fail though :(

eyyyy! thats... deeply disturbing as a heroes one-liner actually. maybe take some more time workshopping that

oh that's nice, her bugs worked to break concentration, this is a fight against dnd wizards

LETS GET ELDRITCH BABEYYY

unbe-weaver-ble

i do love how hard theyre commited to the bit though

legitimately sick burn

had to be done, glenn wont be happy though

“Taylor Hebert?  On the issue with the bug population of my facility, I feel it would be a very bad idea to provide you with a caustic substance to give your bugs, given what your file says you achieved with capsaicin.  I had a bug zapper purchased, and you should be able to access it with each and every one of your tiny soldiers.  I expect to see it used, understand?”

(moving to copy paste bc tumblr says no more screenshots)

immensely funny solution

The spiders, I kept on hand, directing them to the burned corpses.  They could breed, in time, and I could put them somewhere where they wouldn’t encounter any people. Breaking the rules, maybe, but it was something to occupy my thoughts.  It made me feel just a little safer, a little more like myself.

its gonna be so funny when the wardens find the underground spider breeding ring

ok hello hi in honour of me finishing season 6 of dr who i will write out my impression of it before starting s7! that there WILL be spoilers so im putting it under the cut!

first things first, it was definitely a HUGE improvement from s5 in my opinion. like it was in general just a lot more enjoyable for me, though still not quite satisfactory. i think matt smith finally got properly into the role too which is nice.

still. this season was deeply unsatisfying. there were so many interesting threads that i feel just didnt go anywhere or didnt get nearly enough development.

1) i thought the "youre my best friend" scene btwn amy and the doctor was very very sweet but i felt it just came out of nowhere? she spent the entire s5 having to "choose" between him and rory and i do appreciate their friendship but i wish they had more time to really develop that kind of relationship

2) i was honestly so happy to see 2 companions throughout this whole season! i think it makes up for a really fun dynamic :]

3) i love rory with all my heart hes such a sweetheart but i feel a little weird about his character development? it definitely makes a lot of sense seeing as how hes 2k years old at this point but it just feels to me like that was done at amy's expense? it feels like shes denied the same development time and time again and i dont like that. i will be honest i don't like her as a person and that in part is due to her behaviour in s5 (i will never fucking forgive them for that scene where she confessed to the doctor it was so dumb and so deeply unpleasant but i digress) BUT i think shes an interesting character and wasnt done justice. like!!! the way i see it, she is contrasted with all the previous companions by the fact that shes not that great of a person. which isnt a bad thing! she had such a huge potential for growth but it felt like every time she learned a lesson she forgot it the very next episode or it just felt like it just didnt matter in the grand scheme of things. which i blame on the writing, in case that wasnt clear. great potential, terrible performance

4) and now for the loose threads.

4a) madame kovarian was such an intriguing villain and the sneak peaks we got of her only hyped it up but then i feel that just went nowhere? she served cunt for one whole episode where she wasnt even the main focus and then died. and im assuming she didnt REALLY die given this is doctor who after all but her participation in this season specifically was deeply disappointing to me.

4b) in the same vein, i really wish we could see more of melody and more specifically her upbringing and training. all that teasing of "the woman who murders the doctor" only for her to try to kill him for half an episode and suddenly become "one of the good guys" as soon as he makes sad wet puppy eyes at her?

4c) in the same vein (again) all the teasing of how river and the doctor meet and fall in love and then when she meets him for the first time they dont even get to spend any time together to bond and actually develop any real feeling for each other? and then they just get married for no reason other than it was teased? "i love you more than any living being in the universe" bold statement for a girl who met him ~twice~! it was all so intriguing but it just fell flat in the end.

4d) now dont get me wrong. i fucking hated the ending scene of mid season finale. "um actually all of this horror is your fault because you did too good of a job saving people so now people who want to do fucked up shit are scared of you and want to kill you. if only you didnt save all those people so good we wouldnt be in this situation!" like do you realize how ridiculous that is. even so! that literally didnt fucking go anywhere. was it just supposed to be a one-off guilt trip that never gets addressed again and doesnt change anything other than anger me? what was the purpose of that. it was said as if it was leading up to some huge character discovery moment for the doctor but then it just. didnt. he just left to look for melody.

4e) "i didnt want you to die without making you see how much people love you" yeah and. yeah? go on? oh? we're just leaving it at that? no old friends coming together to save his ass and yell at him abt how much they care about him? other than the justice whatever that we saw in ONE episode and who didnt even get any help from the doctor lending him their robot suit? ok.

4f) all that build-up to accepting your fate and being at peace with death (which like. we've already done all that with ten and i loved that arc but whatever ok lets do it again i guess) only for him to not die was. a little disappointing? i mean dont get me wrong im glad hes ok but it just felt empty bc it didnt lead to anything. and like again i LOVED the solution to that particular puzzle! of course the doctor lies and of course he'll find a way to cheat death again thats what he DOES but its just upsetting that that whole build-up was virtually for nothing

ok thats all for now. in conclusion, s6 was much better than s5 for me but still disappointing. hoping s7 will pick up!

as always i welcome any and all comments and discussion just be niceys to me

speaking of yukako jojos i do always still find it a bit Ugh when people compare yukako and anasui (especially when trying to call anasui haters hypocrites for not hating yukako the same way) because that comparison seems so……. surface level? like theres ofc the obvious optics of an obsessive teenage girl vs obsessive grown man….. who violently butchered his ex gf…being VERY different lol.

but also theres the fact that even as both of their obsessive loves are ultimately (questionably) treated as sources of comedy ultimately koichis discomfort and lack of concent is highlighted! like his emotional distress is taken seriously and notably even CONSIDERED in the first place! and their relationship progresses only once koichis attidute towards her changes, on screen, no matter how quickly that might happen lol.

like theres things to dislike about yukakos portrayal and i wouldnt fault anyone for being uncomfortable with it, but meanwhile jolynes obvious discomfort at anasuis initial behaviour (trying to kiss her etc, even arguably being cruel to foof which im sure jolyne would have taken offense to had she known) isnt really paid much mind at all and anasui doesnt have to apologize or change!! like its somehow handeled way worsen and again the optics are ALSO just so much worse 😭
