mu5a my big brained beloved,, i know we've talked about the winx and specialists as kpop idols before (like brandon as mingyu) but do you have any more idols in mind for them! especially for their voices! i'm having such a hard time with nabu and tecna :')
OOH i do for some… ima keep it brief! i don’t watch gg content as much so i can’t say too much for the winx </3 but i will say chaewon’s charisma & performance for easy is how i envision musa if that makes sense.
hmmm for riven, i’d say probably yuta is the closest? mostly cus u could tell when yuta is not that interested in a video, and he doesn’t try to hide it lol. also for short(er)!riven enthusiasts, yuta is 5’9 (176cm) but to me yuta always gave off the vibe that he was taller lol. and i wanna add in for brandon! i also see similarities with him and johnny lol. i see mostly johnny & mingyu because of their charisma, and how comfortable people are taking to them. + johnny is just very easygoing but i will say his humor is more sarcastic than brandon’s.
and i see jeonghan in nabu as well! mostly cus i think that for both, their way of thinking can be unconventional + i think nabu would be creative in finding ways to cheat. i saw somewhere that they headcanoned nabu has lower stamina (i think cus he is more inexperienced in combat + he uses magic?) + jeonghan is known for having low stamina. but i also wanna say vernon… because the way he reacts to svt’s antics he’s just like: okay! 😊🙂↕️.
as for voices, nabu… hmmm i watched winx in the nick dub, so for me.. i kinda envision his singing voice to be like nct’s jaehyun! but maybe more raspier, a little lighter? he isn’t a kpop idol but sfc.jgr who is khiphop (his song seaside specifically)
and for tecna, i see her having a deeper voice (same with musa) and it’s hard because a lot of gg sing super high 😭 but i think i would say wonder girls’ yubin (from baby don’t play & her single lady) would come close (i also considered stayc’s j, gidle’s yuqi or everglow’s aisha).
but im so curious about your voice headcanons for the rest of them! for musa, i personally headcanon her singing voice as either boa or a member from s.e.s (specifically whoever sings the first verse of their song “red angel” i cannot find who sang that part)
#asks#another thing for riven it is that#for yuta he is competitive for things when he wants to be#but for riven he is just stupidly competitive for everything like#but i feel that they have similar vibes?#writing all the stuff im not too confident about in the tags#i was lowk thinking new jeans’ danielle for bloom?#but yeah i was oddly thinking joshua for sky mostly because i imagine if sky was an idol he’d have that gentlemen/prince image pushed#and josh doesn’t really take his image that serious lol that’s sort of how i imagine sky would be like#but i don’t know i struggle a lot with sky and especially nabu’s character#i was also thinking maybe nct mark for timmy because they are both dorky and awkward lol but it’s very endearing

@xoxo-lahh
So in this verse, Tsunade never ends up teaching Sakura- as that role is fulfilled by Chiyo. (But she DOES return to Konoha eventually).
And Chiyo's first rule (for everything lol) is: Nothing is Free.
Chiyo always demanded something in return for healing, and unlike Tsunade, she considered medical jutsu a part of her arsenal. If it could kill, then it was always an option.
So Sakura learned from that mindset, trading her services and using her rare skillet as a powerful negotiating tactic, especially during Tea Country's civil war. Her healing effectively kept her, Enji, and Saeko in relative safety and provided her a card to play when she needed.
And, while Sakura is nowhere near as jaded as Chiyo is, and often enough of a bleeding heart to help people for damn near free, (a place to stay, food for the night, a new holster for her kunai), she is also VERY pragmatic about her skillset. The civil war taught her that sometimes, letting someone die is better. This puts her at odds with Tsunade, who has a very different mindset (and was, historically, bitter enemies with Chiyo).
Another issue that arises with Tsunade, is that the Godaime is a doctor- while Chiyo is more of a healer. Their understanding of the human body comes from a different place.
Tsunade can name every bone and muscle and perform open-heart surgeries. Sakura can heal bone and stitch back together muscles and flesh on a very basic level, but she's never going to be able to open up a human body and revolutionize medical history like she does in canon. (In canon, Sakura creates a Jutsu that allows her to do a four-man surgery alone; she can't do that here.)
However, she can do some stuff that Tsunade claims is impossible—like reconstructing/altering someone's chakra network, unblocking tenketsu, sometimes turning off someone's dojutsu from a distance, and lite-healing remotely (Tsunade is very upset about this one specifically). A lot of it comes from her mastery of Genjutsu.
Genjutsu, as I reworked in my comic, requires a complete understanding of someone's chakra network to control ALL their senses. Sakura's understanding and control are so prodigious that she can almost autonomously control people's bodily functions (a skillset that is GREATLY aided by training with Chiyo's puppet mastery).
She uses Genjutsu as a tool to understand the body and employs it as both support (helping an ally maintain a sense of gravity as they're pulled underground or flung in the air, etc) and offense.
And that's it for the wall of text! Once again, thank you SO much for the amazingly kind words and all the interest in this AU! <3
#naruto#haruno sakura#tsunade#why yes that is a human heart she medical scalpeled right out a nin's chest#this isn't a scene that happens but the VIBES#But that time she killed a bunch of enemies because she altered their sense of time to be so slow#that she just walked right up to them and slit their throats was pretty damn lit#also I feel like puppet ninjutsu and genjutsu and medical jutsu have alot of similar concepts- all about controlling someone else#also u remember Tsunade's 4 rules for medic-nin? Yeah Chiyo's got her own lol#also Tsunade can't heal Gai's 8 gates but Sakura sure can#but if you've got a tumor that needs to be excised ur better off with tsunade#coven!Sakura

if u like listening to music while u work but find urself getting distracted fiddling with queueing stuff/finding The Perfect Playlist/etc my recent hack has been just throwing on youtube videos of dj sets
book club radio is a good channel to start w bc they usually have the overall Vibe of the set in the title (i.e. "dreamy pop mix", "energetic techno mix" etc) so u can pick the general tempo or w/e u want but then it just kind of blends into the bg and u can set it + forget it
any time i put my own playlists on i'm just too familiar w what could be coming up and i end up wasting so much time skipping/scrolling 2 look for specific songs and stuff. dj sets are like putting a post-op doggy cone on me. it;'s out of my hands
#also youtube videos of dj sets are just fun.#it kind of has a similar vibe to sitting in with a streamer while u work? the ones i watch have video feeds of the parties they're at so it#Feels ambiently like hanging out w people. like putting on coffee shop ambient noise.#anyway speaking of streaming + dj sets i've also recently really been enjoying playing risk of rain 2 on easy mode just to loop endlessly#and selecting the perfect dj sets to put on the in bg based on the character i'm playing#(ror2 obviously has an EXCELLENT soundtrack already but i play it so much that sometimes i just want something different)#and anyway i'm excited to come back and do some vibey ror runs w handpicked dj sets in the bg. it's a nice time and i think u'll like it to

On the Topic of Plagiarism:
I decided to make my own post rather that co-oping @thefreelanceangel's because, despite having her full and enthusiastic permission to do so, what I'm talking about is somewhat adjacent to her point and entirely inspired BY the fact she tagged @riftdancing—particularly Blink—and I wanted to demonstrate examples of incidence were coincidence and consent do not immediately equate to plagiarism; it's ultimately about intent, and you do not need to tear yourself up on the inside if you find someone with a similar idea to yours, provided neither of you have gone out of your way to copy each other.
First, please meet the troops:
On the left is Miss Koret Swan. On the right is Miss Blink Vaniro. As I so delicately summed up:
It would be easy to surmise, based on this alone, that one of us copied the other person. However, both of these are old characters, written in a time and space where neither of us knew each other, and the similarities have always been a cause for laughter and playful teasing rather than competition and spite. I made Koret in WoW as a sister to a wolf and lamb concept, and Pepper made Blink as a character to an overarching D&D campaign set in a sci-fi universe.
What I'm trying to say is that, whilst plagiarism is absolutely a bad thing, as someone with anxiety over this sort of thing, you do not need a wholly 100% original idea in order to write and roleplay publicly, and many ideas share overt similarities to others that deviate the moment you peel back the veneer.
Koret and Blink are both 'pirates'. Koret is a privateer (said with all the sarcasm a privateer entails; a pirate with the proper papers) and Blink is a sky pirate. All of Kor's theming is around the ocean, particularly the deep ocean, and Blink's is all about the sky and the freedom it gives. But they both have wolf motifs. Kor has had a sister, Blink has had a brother.
What makes these characters different is the way that we explore them and how these broad ideas become niche based on the concepts we want to expand on as writers. What makes them different is that neither was written despite (or even in spite) of the other, nor did one of us look at the other and go 'oh, i want to do x with y because i think it'll be better'.
There are dozens of femme fatal concepts out there. There are heaps of bad-ass men. If I had a dollar for every knight character that was in xiv alone, I'd still be a rich woman. Hell, I know for a fact that my star-gazing viera is certainly not the first of her kind, nor will she be the last. I can coexist in spaces with people who have these similar concepts because I know there's enough deviation between those characters, as I have spent the time cultivating a niche story for mine where broad concepts are more set-dressing than the actual meat and potatoes of the character.
If you have the ick about someone copying you, especially if you have a negative history with them or the person is being weird, you're probably right on the money. I have had characters of mine blatantly ripped off for the former. But this is more for the reassurance of people who are like 'I don't want a pink-themed miqo'te because I know one already exists' or 'I don't want to play with a spore druid concept because I know one exists' (i'm using my own miqo'te here as an example, LMAO). You can have a primadonna, pink miqo'te who lives in Ishgard and is clawing her way to the tippy top of the high houses and I wouldn't stress because my primadonna, pink miqo'te is currently knee-deep in a bog because she heard she can find peat mummies there. They're not the same. They share similarities, but they're not the same.
Write it because you think it's fun. Not because you've seen x's concept be popular and you want a slice of it. Not because you want a ship similar to y's and you're going to gush about how much you love it and try to mosey in with a knock-off (no, this has never happened to me, what do you mean?). You're not going to have the same amount of fun!! It won't be the same!!
But also, at the same time, don't rob yourself of an opportunity to play with a concept because someone else is already doing it, especially if it's just a trope. People can tell the difference and they will embrace it if you're earnest.
You may even find someone like I found Pepper. We laughed at it. Then we made an AU and shipped them. They're kissing. They are stabbing. They are kissing and stabbing each other.
#。・゚゚・ — sea speaks#I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSEEEE#plagiarism bad#inspo not bad#similar =/= copy BUT#if you have a weird vibe your probably right!!!#but don't immediate rule yourself out because someone is doing it#OR#assume someone is automatically copying you#just because you have a bad ass women or something#u feel me? u feel me.#anyway if you use this post to justify plagiarism but you are actually plagiarising i wish leg cramp in the night on you

The Language of Love
If you are already convinced snakes are incapable of love, this post is not for you. But if you are open to the possibility that maybe they do, and maybe they love us too, this post explores that thought. Perhaps snakes feel it differently, perhaps they feel it the same humans do- though even humans experience love, be it platonic or romantic, differently from individual to individual. Different people also show their love in different ways as well! Yet still even with a divide between species most of us have felt love from our furry and feathered friends. Perhaps our scaly friends are also telling us they love us, we just might not understand.
When I first got my girl Scoria, if I could tell her only one thing it would be, "I love you." When I held her, I wondered if she understood how much I cared about her, and would do anything to protect her. When I pet her, I wondered if she knew how amazing I thought she was and enjoyed spending time with her.
And then I started watching livestreams of wild snakes, and how they act toward each other. (The above still is from Project Rattle Cam!) When the babies see a trusted adult, they slither all over them! How many times had my girl happily slithered all over me going no where in particular? I imagine that my finger petting her soft as a feather was probably quite similar to another snake greeting her in such a way.
Sakura is much more shy, yet wants to form a bond with me. I see it when she fights her fear to vibe with me. Sometimes she'll sit for hours at the edge of her tank nearest me, not wanting to come out, but just be near me.
Snakes like rattlesnakes and garter snakes will vibe peacefully with each other, with baby rattlesnakes sleeping near the adult rattlesnakes they trust to keep them safe.
Perhaps, when our shy snakes sits with us, facing their fears they're saying, "I'm scared, but I want to be closer with you." And maybe when our snakes slither all over us, going nowhere in particular, like their wild counterparts do with each other they're saying, "I'm so happy to see you! You're my favorite to be with!" I wonder if they could tell us one thing it would be "I love you, best friend!" And it's okay, best friend. I love you too, and already know. <3
#snakes#snake#hognose#rattlesnakes#rattle snakes#I don't want to debate this- those who would are already cemented in their opinions#Plenty of us snake caretakers have wondered I'm sure#From the behavior I've seen from my girls#I feel we are a happy little family#And they display requesting and giving affection#as well as empathy#Not sure what else they'd need to do to convince the world but its enough for me#And really why deprive snake caretakers the comfort of knowing their little scaley friends love them back#“But maybe they don't”#Yeah well maybe they do#Especially when they're doing the behavior their wild counterparts do when they see their friends#Yes they have friends!#Sakura understands when I do the hognose twitch too and will come over when I do it with my arm#Being able to communicate with them is incredible honestly#Anyway#If there was anyone out there wondering if their snake loves them#If they rush over to see you#like to vibe with you#then they enjoy your company#If they can't wait for you to pick them up and wiggle all over you going nowhere in particular#You know they are happy to be around you and are telling you in snake language#which seems super similar to petting/being pet for a critter with no arms#I mean when you have a tongue that isn't made for grooming#And I think it is family love <3

Random thoughts but
imagine Boothill going to the Luofu and meeting Jing Yuan and by extension Yanqing and it's like "Wow! You guys are motherfudging cool!"
But it occurs to him how young Yanqing is and he can't help but think that maybe his daughter could have grown and made friends with him. It's somewhat concerning that this little guy is in the constant face of danger. Boothill gets it, the kid's strong, but the dad in him worries just a bit.
Then maybe Boothill and Jing Yuan talk while eating (well, Boothill chewing on a bullet probably), and he brings it up casually, smoothly but the General knows what he's trying to get at.
Jing Yuan talks about how he's also feels worry, that he had thought about what it meant to raise Yanqing as a son, retainer, and a soldier. It takes some moments but Boothill finally openly talks about his daughter and how he wishes that he got to see beyond her first steps. That she could have had the chance to play guitar or ride horses or even learn to drive a spaceship. He feels afraid for Yanqing because isn't that boy still so small?
And Jing Yuan agrees with a thin, close-eyed smile that Boothill recognizes but can't put a name to. They reach a mutual understanding yet unanswered questions hang in the air.
#honkai star rail#boothill#jing yuan#hsr yanqing#incomplete thoughts i'm sorry ToT#these two have specific similarities that'd be wild to see compared in-game#free roaming dad who lost his kid vs restricted to one position dad who still has his kid#there's a lot to chew on here but i'm too brainfried to write more than that ToT#how would boothill and jing yuan feel in this scenario? it'd be cool to hear how other ppl answer this question#i personally see boothill looking out for yanqing#and he'd probs vibe with jing yuan and really admire him since his vl about dh indicate he really respects the xianzhou#struggling jpg thinks

i’m really glad to see everyone saying that overall the show was amazing. i think because they made the bold choice to really go for it. like the boxing thing or the theories iceberg or the doll humping (can’t believe that’s a real thing i just said oh god) could’ve gone cringe if they hadn’t just fully committed to it. i knew i’d love it regardless but it’s sooooooo great to hear that it really was just a great fucking (heh) time. i’m that much more excited for my show now
Real it was SO GOOD!!! I have to be honest I was mentally preparing for it to be a bit cringe dsdfhkl but it really wasn't at all. My friend described it as having the exact right level of self-awareness, which I think was really accurate. They fully committed to everything, it felt like they were having a great time being on stage too! There were so many moments that made me genuinely laugh out loud, it was an incredible show and I really wanna see it again
#phan#dan and phil#dnp#titspoilers#i have to be honest i did not vibe with wad. i didn't see wad live so maybe it worked better in person#but i saw the livestream and recording and i just wasn't really feeling the humor and energy#and that's the only reference i have for their live shows since I haven't seen any of the others#so i was worried it would be a similar vibe to wad but it really wasn't#tit just worked so well it was so funny and genuine and yeah. thinking i might really have to buy a ticket for Amsterdam lmao#ask#also this was a really nice anon dhsjdjks like it's really nicely phrased. idk im really sleep deprived idk how to explain it

thinking about boromir dying and and his last words being “I have failed”
and Aragorn saying “No!” and kissing his brow and “You have conquered. Few have gained such a victory”
and realizing that even here, Tolkien was planting the seeds for Frodo, because Boromir’s victory, the victory Aragorn praised him for was that he fell to the Ring’s temptation but unlike gollum and Isildur he came back—
and because he came back, Frodo could too.
#literary emotions#lotr#boromir and frodo as foils#also as a side note#the whole interchange between Boromir and Aragorn reads remarkably like the catholic rite of confession#which i suspect was not an accident#but you have the naming of the sin: “i tried to take the ring from Frodo”#the act of contrition: “i am sorry”#and the act of penance: “i have paid” ie died trying to save merry and pippin#which means of course that Aragorn is taking the role of priest in giving absolution#which is very priest-prophet-king vibes#anyway tolkien is famously anti-allegory#but when people love to say “frodo is the Jesus-figure” in lotr i think they are massively overlooking aragorn#who like. is descended from a line of kings but of a now kingless country. and doesn’t look like a king. and heals people.#and something about the entrance into the city in disguise versus his entrance as the king reminds me of jerusalem#idk it’s not an allegory for similar reasons to why frodo is not an allegory#but i do feel that tolkien does allusions and symbolism a lot
