#but i have a fun time regadless

Music Box

Fun fact about Royal Order! You can access all the background music for the game if you access the music box on the game! The Music Box is located at the extra button, simply click it and you will find it.

What catches my attention about the music is that one of the music used in the game is called "Prayer to Baðmur".

Why does this is important to me? If we listen to the music, it will play the music that is always played when we are in intense, scary, or dangerous situations (but not on the battlefield).

If you listen carefully, the song starts with a gloomy tune before escalating into an intense and fiery tune. When those fiery tunes are played, at 01:45 timestamp, you can start to hear people chanting.

But why is this important? This music only will be played when Aarya faces their enemies, but not in combative ways. It either will be played when they're sneaking around, when they feel a sense of danger, or when they're faced with a hard choice. And if we reread the day 10th of the story and choose Emrys's route, then we will face with this sentence!

From that sentence alone, we can conclude that the chanting people said in the middle of the music is a prayer.

So that music specifically are Sval Prayer to Baðmur will protect them. And it is ironic because the person they're praying to is the one they're fighting against at the time. Another sad part is the fact that Aarya needs to pray to themselves when faced with that kind of situation! Why is it sad? Because it shows how humane Aarya is despite being a demon, they're afraid of dying before finishing their mission. So whenever faced with hardship, they will always pray to Baðmur and themselves to survive.

If you listen to the music carefully, even at the beginning, the music is already fast-paced despite starting with sad tunes. It shows how urgent those prayers are and how the Sval situation really is. They're grieving and in pain, but they cannot wallow in that pain for too long or they will lose their life.

TLDR; I hate humans in this game

10 BL Characters I Would Hit With My Car

(I don't have a licence and can't drive so this is just for fun OBVIOUSLY)

LISTEN, I love these characters. They are complex, they are human, they are flawed and yet you can't help but root for them. Or they are just giant assholes.

Regadless, I think they would all benefit from getting hit by a car as a little treat.

Feel free to tag yourselves and participate in a bit of lighthearted negativity and media complaining.

1) Ben From Never Let Me Go (2022)

Of course he would be on this list. Mainly because how are you, a closeted gay in a coming of age bl drama, sitting down in front of a piano next to a beautiful boy and not just completely eat his face in a passionate life altering kiss? I understand that was the whole point of the scene, but personally I would rise above the narrative that was trapping me.

2) Dan from Not Me (2021)

Being a cop, killing Sean's father and selling NFTs is bad enough on it's own, I agree. But Dan's biggest sin was taking the cigarette out of Yok's mouth and depriving us of seeing sad First Kanaphan smoking near a body of water-THE queer cinema experience.

As it turns out, you can be gay and homophobic at the same time.

3) Kenji from My Dear Gangster Oppa (2023)

So you have funky hair and kawnty fashion sense? Oh, you partake in fun bathtub threesomes? What, you're a little unhinged and psychotic? Perfect! THEN WHY THE HELL YOU SUCK AT BEING A VILLAIN SO HARD HUH???

Kenji you better put your helmet on, I'm turning on the engine.

4) Kanghan from Dangerous Romance (2023)

Rich people don't deserve rights in general so Kang was already on thin ice to begin with. But being a bully on top of that? UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR YOU GO!

Also he is so attention starved on account of his father being a negligent asshole that he will jump in front of my car willingly just to get a drop of love from dad and Sailom.

5) Yu Xi Gu from HIStory3: Make Our Days Count (2019)

(I'm so so incredibly sorry but I HAD to okay you don't underst- *gets shot immediately*)

6) Mork from Fish Upon The Sky (2021)

I looked at Pond for 0.1 second and fell so embarrasingly in love that for the entirety of FUTS I saw no flaws in Mork's character at all. All he did made sense and I was blissfuly having a great time! So I'm pummeling him to the ground for my own sake I CAN'T KEEP BEING THIS STUPID ABOUT HIM HE IS OBJECTIVELY CREEPY!

7) Vee from Love Mechanics (2022)

Was he in my "I want them carnally" list? Yes. Do I find him beautiful and incredible? Double yes. Am I smearing him on asphalt like a squished bug for causing Mark so much unnecessary pain and heartbreak? More likely than you think.

8) Jiwoo from To My Star/ To My Star 2 (2021-22)

MY BEAUTIFUL BOY!! A crumb of healthy communication is all I'm asking for!

Jiwoo was so emotionally bricked up for the majority of both seasons that it caused ME damage. So me hitting him with my car is both a revenge plot and an attempt to let loose some of those pent up feelings of his.

(But also I'm dead meat if Seojoon finds out it was me behind the wheel. He loves that boy too much.)

9) Zee from Twins (2023-24)

I'm volunteering to do this as public service to keep Sprite and First together without any twins switch drama. One gremlin down, one successful volleyball couple UP!!

10) Winner from Pit Babe (2023-24)

I want to do it as an experiment. I feel like he would make a funny sound under the wheels, like when you sqeeze clown's nose or step on a rubber duck. I would also like to see how this will affect his character. Will he become even more annoying? Will it fix him completely? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!!

(This was so fun I love inflicting imaginary violence on fictional men. If you read this far into this incoherent insanity, consider yourself tagged!💖)

THAT ANON BACK FOR A CUTE THOUGHT!!!!!! Johnny and Simon drive Zach to school everyday before Johnny drops Simon off at work. When you eventually fold into the family, you make a red light kiss tax. Everytime the car is stopped at a red light, she gives a kiss on the cheek to all her boys in the car. Ghoap used to hate red lights (impatient, both of them. Road rage but not really, yknow?), but now they find themselves hoping every light is red and taking the long way home just to hear you whoop and say “kiss tax!”

cariño i adore the way your brain works!!!!

it's like one of their favorite parts of the new family dynamics and literally why the boys prefer driving over any other mode of transportation. they fucking adore your kisses.

personal headcanon but i feel like the boys, really all of the 141, are incredibly touch starved. even when it was just johnny and simon they had a point of contact between them at all times, no matter how small. this extends to zach who is showered with all kinds of physical love. that boy is given kisses, hugs, piggyback rides, he's carried, he's bundled, he's cuddled, they do everything to make sure that their boy knows how much he's loved.

and then you, oh of course you! i personally feel like the kiss tax is started relatively early in your new established relationship. it's summer holiday, you've all managed to sync up your days off, and you decide to do a family day at the aquarium. you're still trying to find your footing on how you fit into ghoap's pretty established dynamic so the most physicality around this time is some slight brushes here and there. fun outing regadless.

the problem is that despite it being the summer holiday the traffic never eases up. so of course, when you're in the car for 15 minutes and you've only managed to inch forward through two green lights you sprint out the kiss tax. zach starts getting a little fussy in his seat, legs thumping on the plastic, sometimes the plush seat below it, when you absentmindedly plant a kiss on his cheek. he immediately squeals, causing soap to turn around and simon to glance in the rearview, and reels back from you.

"what was that!?" he giggles out and you just pinch his cheeks. "it's a kiss tax!"

up at the front johnny and simon exchange a glance, simon's grip on the wheel lessens a bit as you explain, "well, when there's a red light it means you get a kiss!" as if to prove your point, the yellow light in front of you turns and bathes the car in red.

zach glances back and forth excitedly between you and the light, practically bouncing off the seat, "does that mean I get another?"

"one for every red," you nod back before planting the next one on his forehead. he dissolves into giggles again, fingers prodding the spots where your lips just were a few moments ago.

soap's grinning now, body angled completely towards the both of you his left arm resting on simon's left shoulder, "first I'm hearing about this tax. is no age exception, right?" cheeky little smile shot at you.

you really can't help the heat rushes to your face at this man, who you still cannot believe you're in a relationship with, is so openly gunning for a kiss from you. really he wants a lot more but baby steps you shake your head back at him, "no age exceptions. everyone's subject to the kiss tax"

soap feigns a dramatic gasp, "love," he pats simon's shoulder, "ye hearin'? committing tax fraud in our very own car, can ye believe?"

simon just hums in acknowledgement before johnny continues, "cannae have that. upstanding citizen's we are. if we've got to be taxed, we'll be taxed with honor." and he offers his cheek to you.

you're still a little timid but you press a soft little kiss to his cheek before pulling back a bit. johnny shoots you a pleased little smile, "cannae forget about sprout too, lass," tilting his head over towards simon. who is still staring ahead, watching for openings but the corners of his mouth are ticked upwards. they spread wider when you press a kiss to his cheek, catching both the smooth and scraggly parts of his face. they're all pleased as punch.

the ride back home is just more red lights and rounds of kisses til you make it home. johnny manages to tilt his head at just the right second on one of the kisses and plant a nice big kiss on your lips. simon, trying his best to be diligent, turns just enough for you to plant one of the corner of his lips, with a promise of a proper kiss at home.

not only do they enjoy red lights not but johnny and simon flip a coin every time they're about to get into the car to see whose going to drive and whose going to be the one to get lenghier kisses out of you.

Controversial take but I geniunely feel fandom would be better with female characters if we stopped being so fixated on canon misogyny and just, treat female characters as characters than checks of good progressive writing™.

Because so often do we focus on whether or not these female characters are valid geniune representation of womenhood or just misogynistic characters. Female characters cannot just be poorly written, if they're poorly written that means their writing is misogynistic because to write a woman poorly means you're a misogynist.

And so, we focus so much on whether or not female characters are good portrayals of womenhood we stop treating them as characters. We don't think about their personality, backstory, role in the story, relationship with other characters (regadless of gender), thematic importance or ways these elements can be expanded on without taking into account how progressive and feminist these characters are. And this just takes away the fun from fandom. If you're looking at a character just as a progressive statement™ you don't think about them in any other way, and at worst are outright discouraged from using them in other ways.

Don't get me wrong, canon can be misogynistic in a way that turns people off. Many tropes are baked in misogyny or have misogynistic implications, which can be a huge turnoff for women, people raised as women and others. It is understandable if someone doesn't want to work with female characters because of canon.

But if we spend so much of our mental time and energy thinking about whether female characters have misogynistic writing, it really ruins our enjoyment of female characters. It turns female characters into labor rather than fun. And again, no one wants fandom to be like work. It is meant to be fun. So in order to have fun with female characters I think we all could benefit from not always thinking about feminist criteria and instead just, having fun and playing with these characters, expanding on their canon portrayal and thinking of fun possibilities with other characters. Just like people do with male characters.

But idk that's just my two cents.

Yep, even Tiny can't resist a child's charm. Its not helped that Ami is not even the least abit afraid of how Kafka looks regadless of size. That girl is scoring some brownie points with Tiny without knowing it.

Other more pleasent things, not to mention cute, is Kafka has the habit to make nests near the special heater on cold nights. Which is placed in the fireplace as it is the most fire resistance place in the dollhouse. And makes it safe to have it on for long periods of time.

Mina have loads of pics of Kafka in said nests, said person being in all kinds of sleeping positions, and even a video that proves to everyone that Kafka can infact purr. Even though the man himself deny it with a vengeance.

Reno and Kikoru have had some fun time as well with how tiny Kafka is now. A whole lot of silly stuff now happens between the three as Kafka size makes it even more possible for him to get into more trouble than usual.

Though the less said about the bathroom incident, the better all three are in general. Noone is willing to bring that one up, not even the meanest of DF member.

When I get the chance to, I'm writing down headcanons for Feral/Riot Kaiju!Kafka. Absolutely admit he's super soft around children and babies even if he goes berserk. Not the same could be said for adults except his mate.

Bet Chibi Kafka almost got flushed away from the moment bathroom incident came to mind. Soap makes him extra slippery so I can see how things sorta escalate. That's one movie scene he rather not re-enact.

Kafka definitely purrs if he's happy, content or comforting someone. He also would make nests out of blankets, towels, and other soft cozy bedding material. I probably see someone installing heat lamps for him as Kafka gets colder easier.

For the Milgram oc thing- an oc that's 17? And questions 3, 7, 9, 11 and 16 :- 3c

Curse the lack of anon...!

Yay~

3. What is their reasoning behind their killing(s)?

"It was getting really troublesome. There's just so much a person can let slide; ya, know?"

Jayden's reasoning behind his actions is whatever causes the least problems while solving the main issue. If that happens to turn out to be killing somebody he's not oppossed to doing it.

7. If they hadn't been put in Milgram would they have continued killing?

"No, it's stupid to make something like that a daily thing if one doesn't have to."

9. How would their prisoner outfit change depending on their verdict?

"Changing your clothes just because of how people view you is stupid."

If he was voted Innocent his clothes would get more dishelved and he'd outwardly seem irritable. However, his hair would still be well maintained and he'd appear well kept outside of the state of his slovenly attire.

His mindset would frankly be,

"Fuck trying to make these prison clothes look nice. I don't want to even be here."

So, it wouldn't be because he was actively changing his clothes to display that but simply because he wouldn't really care or be interested. If he were voted guilty his clothes would be more well kept but not really change aesthetically and he'd seem a lot more calm. Regadless of how many times he were voted guilty or how restrained he was.

11. What recurring themes present themselves throughout their music videos?

Police, criminality, vilification, ostracization, surveiling, self-policing, and interrogations (in a this isn't my first rodeo type of way).

16. Do you have any minigram plots for them?

Jayden is in the same Milgram James is in. So they'd continue to interract well off each other.

James: *writing dreamily into a journal*

Jayden: Oooo you look like you're writing something good let me see.

James: Sure, here you go!

Jayden expression getting bleaker as he flips through the journal. Before closing it.

Jayden: Ya, know you're really calm outwardly but yeah somethings-

James: Uniquely wrong with me?

Jayden: Pleasantly unhinged about you. I will be reading this again when you add more. Because I could never fucking imagine feeling as much emotion as I read here. Great job keep doing what you're doing regardless of what anyone says.

(The journal ammounting to literally multiple pages about discussing everything great about his victim and how he'd certainly do it again and she's a god to him. As ephemeral in memory as she was in life.

Jayden: This is so unhealthy god I wish that were me. I wish I allowed myself to go that insane in the privacy of my own mind.

Jayden is simply the definition of I will support my homies unhealthy fixation.)

This would lead to James continually coming up to him when he adds on more.

3. What is their reasoning behind their killing(s)?

"They tried really hard didn't they. They tried really hard and still... How about you try now? Try really hard to keep breathing for as long as you can. After all you were the one who had fun watching people struggle in vain first. So, keep having fun."

7. If they hadn't been put in Milgram would they have continued killing?

For work purposes yes. For personal reasons no.

9. How would their prisoner outfit change depending on their verdict?

If she's innocent, she'd have a very preppy outfit underneath her prisoner uniform. Kind of like that of a bubbly college student. She's the sort to order clothes simply because she's bored and not because she genuinely plans to wear them. They just look cute in the moment, and she can imagine wearing them. She'd request clothing catalogs to the prison first thing and have a laundry list of clothes on order.

Other prisoners can find her trying on clothes in her prison cell as if modeling for herself regularly and she will invite people to watch and ask for their opinion on the outfits.

If guilty, the color pallete of the clothing she chooses would be different and more muted, leaning into pastels instead of bright colors. Yet, it'd still be noticeably preppy. She would, however, start accessorizing with jewelry, and it would probably be the first time anyone noticed she had piercing simply because she wasn't wearing earrings before.

11. What recurring themes present themselves throughout their music videos?

Revenge, fairness, games, collective responsibility.

16. Do you have any minigram plots for them?

She'd be in the same Milgram as Luna, which is downright hilarious given what incited her crime. She would bother Luna to regularly watch her try on clothes simply because she's an actress, and Celia believes she has good taste because of that. Luna keeps telling her actresses have stylists for that, and she rarely picks out what she's going to wear. Yet, Celia just ignores it. It's heavily implied she has another personal reason for bothering her, and the topic of boys keeps coming up.

‘you need some sleep. you look very tired.’ dan heng for caelus

valid remark is met with a dismissive wave of caelus' hand. his focus at the moment is on the game flashing across his phone screen, so he doesn't have time to sleep right now. so what if he's falling asleep as they speak? that doesn't mean he has to cut his fun short, he can sleep when his body makes him! besides, if he doesn't make progress in this level now, he won't want to do it later. he's just being productive! at least, he thinks this counts. it should.

he spares a glance at dan heng. " why does it matter if i sleep now or later anyway? i'll be tired regadless of what i– " and then, thanks to that split second distraction, there's a faint, pitiful sound of failure from his phone. caelus groans, annoyed, as 'game over' appears in big, bold letters on his screen. add another death to his tally. " ...was this your plan, dan heng? you wanted to sabotage me? to kill me? "

[yandere-romanticaa]

The idea got popular so here it is, the twst boys’ prefered body type! Be sure to take this with a grain of salt however, these are just my opinions and headcanons. They would all still love you regadless of your appearance! TW for low key misogyny lmao, maybe even some feeding kink? Also implied female s/o, but not necessarily.

This also didn't quite turn out to be about body types but IDC I'M TIRED 😴

HEARTSLABYUL :

Riddle cares about your health to an obsessive degree and he will want you to be proportional in every sense of the word. He wants you to be the best version of yourself, therefore he won't allow you to be neither overweight or underweight. He'll spoon feed you himself if he must, your health really is top priority to him. He doesn't really have a preference due to this. He does have a soft spot for delicate hands and legs though.

Trey, oh God Trey, I'm sorry but the two of you are literally in your late teens/early twenties but y'all are gaining weight like an old married couple, it's so precious!! 😭😭 He really likes to spoil you with sweets and he has a hard time saying no to you, he just wants to spoil you, okay? 🥺 He says that he has no preference but that's a lie, he likes to see you gain more weight and become a bit more chubby over time. If he's in the mood he'll even squeeze your belly but he won't be mean about it! Softness is his weakness, especially if he was the cause.

Cater, I can see him going in several directions but rn I feel like being mean, he is SHALLOW lmao. He really wants you to look good for all of his photos and he'll guilt trip you if you don't work out and eat well. He'll join you sometimes, maybe! I also see him being into someone that's shorter than him, he really likes to look down at you because it's just so cute to him.

Ace - THIS BULLY, THIS AWFUL, MEAN BULLY!!! No matter what you do or how hard you try Ace will poke fun at you and he won't hold back. You're skinny? Wazzup twig, go eat something! You're bigger? YOOOOOO piggy, go take a nice long run, it could do you some favors! If you're a girl, if you have a flat chest? Boooo, you're not trying hard enough! Big chest? You little slut, you're in an all boys school, you ought to dress more appropriately! You're a guy and you're not built like a brick house? God damn you are WEAK, he could take you on right there and then! He's mean, mean, MEAN! In reality he is shallow too and he'd really like it if you were ✨sexy✨ but you're always cute to him. He just won't say it out loud though!

Deuce is not super picky in my opinion, but I think he'd really like it if you had some cake 😫🥴 He's a pervert that stares, and he'd love to grab your ass and just grope it!

SAVANACLAW :

Leona wants you to have a soft chest and not to be too bony. You'll be his personal body pillow and he really wants to use you, but he can't do that if your bones keep poking him. I also see him really liking nice and smooth skin, it just catches his eye.

Ruggie, grrrrrr he'd die if you were taller than him but that's quite sexy to him. Look down at him and tell him what to do, he's there to obey. Just don't push it too much, k?

Jack would be so happy if you were an athlete and a good amount of muscle on you. He has a lot of stamina and energy and he would love to go on long runs with you! He just loves to work out with you and I can't see him with a couch potato.

OCTAVINELLE :

I'm sorry but I feel like this entire dorm would be just straight up chubby cashers 😭 Azul would look at you and he would just !!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous, beautiful, let him touch you, please let him touch you!!! He's so handsy he cannot control himself even if his life was on the line.

The tweels? BULLIES, but not as bad as Ace. They'll tease you but they will stop at some point and then they suddenly switch to being really doting and sweet. They don't mean what they said, they just like to see you flustered!

SCARABIA :

Jamil - HIPS, HIPS MAKE HIM 🤤🤤🤤🤤 Hips, thick thighs !!!!!!! You could crush him and he might just thank you with the faintest of smiles on his face. He's blushing like mad but he wouldn't trade it for the world. He's also an ass man, don't @ me

Height is irrelevant to him

Kalim, precious baby. You're literally so beautiful to him regardless how you look. You could be wearing a trash bag and his heart would still burst with joy. He's the type of guy that will tell you look gorgeous in all of your outfits but you just want to hear some consecutive criticism 😭

POMEFIORE :

Vil and Rook are similar to Riddle. They want you to be the best version of yourself, but there is a certain shallowness from Vil's side. He's greedy and selfish, he wants to destroy you and build you from the ground up, you are his personal project that must be done perfectly. There will be no blemishes, those are ILLEGAL. Weight? He controls your diet strictly. Clothes? Exactly the same.

Epel on the other hand... Girly girl. Be cute, be helpless, BE SHORT, wear skirts, let him feel like a man god damn it. Big boobs would be nice to squish though ♥️

IGNIHYDE :

Idia has been spoiled by anime/games and if you don't look like that he'll bully you too. He'll force you to wear skimpy clothing when it's just the two of you, he doesn't care if you hate it, you will wear it. Maid costumes + CAT EARS, he's on the ground sCREAMING (feel free to remove that s! 😏)

The problem is, most people just do not look like generic fantasy babes and he's an incel because I said so, and by default that just makes him out to be a MASSIVE prick, ESPECIALLY if you're a girl. Everything you do to him is a tease, you are literally just breathing in the same air as him and in his head that must mean that you want to be with him. But yes, ideal body = BIG BOOBS, tiny waist, BIG hips, just imagine the most basic, typical anime babe.

DIASOMNIA :

Malleus, I also don't see him as someone that fawns over your body all too much, but I can imagine him really enjoying the warmth of your chest, bonus points if you have boobs. Size is irrelevant, he wants to SQUISH them. Your neck is also something he likes to fawn over, that pretty neck that he gets to nibble on like a snack every single night. I also think he'd really like eyes that are just soft, full of love and light. He's weak for your eyes man.

Lilia is incredibly versatile, he's seen it all and he loves it all, he loves you. Tall? Amazing. Short? Hehehe, he can bully you!~ Although, I see him fawning over someone that gets sick easily 😭🤣 Therefore, be a little skinny, very weak, let him take care of you 😔 He keeps you docile this way, and pampers you like doll. Probably dresses you in lolita style dresses.

Silver is a tough guy and I can see him fawning over a dainty, feminine, sweet little thing that just needs his help with everything. Kinghtly duties run in his blood, he's used to servicing people, but you are a special kind of enjoyment.

Sebek, ugh. He wants to be like Riddle and Vil but he sucks at it. In reality he doesn't care, he just doesn't want you to get sick or anything like that.

[work-for-mattia]

10-13/12/20

Dear Mattia,

I hope you are well.

I am writing to you regarding the position of Mattia, which I saw advertised on your blog. It is my belief to be suitable for the position that has led me to apply, and through the following paragraphs, I intend to describe you my skills and experience.

Regrettably, my belief does not heavily rely on any relevant skill or experience – I did not apply for this job twice in a row, which means that I did not even stand a chance of earning my own job. My intention was to use these letters as a means of building up a routine to my life; by finding a creative way of channelling my frustration over constant rejections for jobs that I could easily do, I hoped that having at least two things in my day that I would do – studying and applying for this job – would help me build at least a semblance of an adult life. In real life, though, I would define myself as someone chronically frustrated over their daily conduct. I have myriads of plans for the future, but my days just seem to be filled with in-betweens: study in-betweens, house chores in-betweens, phone call in-betweens.

I thus tried to find solace through these job applications since they made me think of things I have actually done, and use them as a means of self-motivation. Giving them a written form allowed me to keep a digital proof of my achievements as well as the structural lack of activities that actually inspire me to go forward: writing, painting, studying and eventually moving to Lisbon. Applying for a job of/at myself gave me a chance to reflect on my life and the empty spaces I was leaving behind. Nonetheless, I have had immense fun deriding corporate, growth-obsessed capitalist machines that companies I apply for often are. Also, I believe there is a painful truth concealed inside these letters – that I often measure my sense of self-worth against metrics of success. I am not sure what the right metric would be more suitable, but I am determined to find it.

On a side note, I finally caught a mouse; to my dismay, it was just a tiny one, which means that its parent is still running around free. I also submitted a poor attempt to an annotated bibliography to my PhD supervisors, accompanied by an equally poor attempt to an email explaining the slow progress on my reading list. I am very happy to have them as my supervisors though, because I think they respect my slightly neurotic approach to life. I have also managed to increase the number of study hours beyond 20 per week – something I have not managed since I submitted my MA dissertation over a year ago. Getting back to a study rhythm has been hard but I am, thus far, managing to trail along. I have also managed to talk to my friends and family more often, which is not making me feel too lonely, if anything. They care about me, and I care about them as well; it is nice to reinforce old ties in times of physical absence, and venture out to create new bonds. I have managed to meet a group of lovely UAL students that make me feel very comfortable, and they seem to like me. Finally, I feel that my drive to write and paint is becoming stronger, and I hope I will lose my fear of making mistakes in art.

I can imagine that this is not what you imagined receiving on a Sunday night (when the closing date was on Friday), but I hope -regadless- that you may consider me for the role. Tomorrow is a new week and thus a new beginning, but I shall conceal my plans from you – it is better to talk of achievements rather than to omit failed expectations.

I look forward to hearing from you soon – and wish me the best of luck.

Kind regards,

Mattia

general relationship hcs for xigbar?

I know its been a while since KH3 came out but i’ve added some spoilery stuff under the cut in here ! just letting yall know, in case you still wanna avoid spoilers

Xigbar : 

There’s never a dull moment with Xigbar - that itself can be good and bad cause hey, he likes to make things fun and drag you to adventures ! But you also get the feeling that he doesn’t take anything seriously - cause he does that thing where he just straight up laughs or snorts in the most inappropiate moments and you just gotta elbow him in the ribs to get him to stop. 

He’s r e a l l y touchy feely and doesn’t know what personal space is. ( G E T IT, HIS POWERS ARE SPACE W H E E Z E - Oh man, i’m funny ) If Xigbar feels like hugging you or making out or anything, he’s just gonna stand the fuck up and go find you, regadless of where you are or what you’re doing. He’s not shy about it either, you’ll know when you hear him scream and announce that he wants A t t e n t i o n from miles away.

Okay but hear me out - We all know he’s super sketchy and schemes a lot behind peoples backs and shit, but listen. Got a problem with the dumb shit he says on the daily ? No worries, he’s open to suggestions and critiques ! Like he’s a Big Bastard, but this bastard has a soft spot for you, so he wants to at least try to Not Be a Piece of Shit around you.

But he’s also super attentive to little details, despite masking his intentions or passing his opinions as jokes. When you’re having trouble with something, he might slide an off-handed comment here and there that’ll make you chuckle - but when you start to t h i n k about his words, you’ll immediately come up with a solution. Xigbar is the guy who does nice things for you behind your back without taking any credit and then feels his ego i n f l a t e when he sees you happy, like “HAH, I did that. I made Y/N happy. Twas me.”

There are times where he just r u n s out of that energy he usually has and he might get kind of moody or more sarcastic and snarky. Xigbar despies showing weaknessess or being fully vulnerable, so he might just avoid you until he gets his spark back - but he might also just cling onto you and drag you into bed for a 8 hour nap or to chill in silence. If he puts your hand on top of his head, he’s indirectly asking you to play with his hair, because it never fails to calm him down.

He never planned on telling you about his past as Luxu or his real mission, but deep inside he wishes you would find out on your own, just so he doesn’t have to tell you himself. But he ALSO doesn’t want you to figure him out in any way, fearing for your reaction. So he’s just super conflicted about the whole thing. 

Xigbar has a really good memory and he’s lived through a lot, so he loves to tell you about fun stories of the past when you have trouble sleeping, masking them as “stuff he made up” or fairytales or myths. He just rambles and goes on and on until you’re either laughing your ass off or peacefully asleep - but you’re fond of that one story about a world where only light exists and everyone is happy and has a rad keyblade.

[sharoncartercomics]

A PSA

Being a fan of Sharon Carter in the era of MCU domination has been a thankless endeavour, for sure.

(No specific spoilers for Avengers: Endgame but this post has been informed by the events of the film.)

She had some great, but all too brief moments in The Winter Soldier and Civil War. I suspect that’s pretty much all we’ll ever see of her ever again, although I keep my fingers crossed that she pops up in Falcon and The Winter Soldier as an ally and collaborator.

But ultimately, in a meta-textual sense, in terms of her position and importance in the Steve Rogers/Captain America mythology, she has effectively been replaced by Peggy in the MCU.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, I suppose - adaptations are not carbon copy interpretations of the source material (and let’s be real, source material in this case is so vast that you’d never get anything as complex and nuanced in an adaptation).

But I fear that the success of the MCU means that we will  may never get another take on Sharon.

As it is, we’ll probably never get another go at the Steve Rogers story on film; one where he makes his home and family and peace in the time he wakes up in and continues to have all kinds of adventures and growth and all that fun stuff.

Never mind a reboot - because of the way Marvel Studios and Disney are approaching these properties, we won’t even ever get a live-action television series that makes another go of the Captain America story.

Perhaps we could get an animated series. But even that will likely be heavily informed by the MCU, just as the Avengers Assemble and Guardians of the Galaxy cartoons have been.

Already, the MCU is casting a long shadow in other media: we’ve already got a game where Sharon is no longer Captain America’s partner and complimentary other half: instead, she is turned into Steve’s daughter with Peggy. 

The shadow is encroaching into the comics. This is not necessarily a bad thing: when Nick Fury Sr. was retired, and succeeded by his son (and Samuel L Jackson doppelganger), it was a modernising touch that updated SHIELD for a new age.

But it also makes me worry that losing Sharon in the comics is an eventual possibility. People do come and go, but you can’t take anything for granted when it comes to secondary characters -- while Logan was always going to return as Wolverine sooner than later, it was several decades before Gwen Stacy made any kind of a comeback.

[And that only initially occurred because of the sheer popularity of Emma Stone’s take on the character in the Marc Webb films. A lightning-in-a-bottle, one-in-a-million costume design made her popularity explode in such an undeniable, revenue-generating way that Marvel’s editorial powers could hardly justify shelving her again.]

But that’s why, more than ever, I want to keep flying the “Sharon Carter flag” flying high. It’s difficult to escape the long reach of the MCU, but regadless of it, and whatever influence it ends up having on future comics, nothing can take away the vast plethora of already-existent, excellet comics that prominently feature Sharon.

Over decades, writers like Mark Waid, Ed Brubaker, Warren Ellis, and Ta-Nehisi Coates (welp, so many men) have developed her and given her a fictional life worth celebrating.

Thanks to them, and the Captain America editors, she continues to live on strong and proud in this medium that I still love the best.

I’m going to keep writing my letters to the Marvel Comics letterbox raving about her, so that they know that Sharon Carters fans exist, and that we’re buying comics. I’m going to keep chronicling her comics journey on this blog, even as I brainstorm other ways to share the love. And I really hope I won’t be alone.

Schumacher Phantom, Coppola Dracula, Black Swan, Labyrinth, Crimson Peak, IT 2017, Brides of Dracula, Moulin Rouge, Sommers Mummy, Sommers Van Helsing

Schumacher Phantom

never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

A flawed adaptation of an already flawed musical. I’ll never not find it amusing that the self proclaimed Angel of Music can’t carry a tune in a bucket.

The movie’s gorgeous and I’ve watched it... an embarrassing number of times at this point. I first saw it when I was much younger and the issues I had with it then are pretty different from the issues I have with it now.

As an adult, I have a lot of trouble not focusing on Christine’s age and how much older her love interests are, but in an odd way that almost explains her glaring lack of agency (a carryover from the stage musical’s faults). If she’s so unassuming, so reactionary, it’s because of youth, etc. It makes for a fundamentally creepier and unsettling scenario, and actually, I would’ve been fine with the story exploring those themes... if they’d actually ever explored it. Or even deliberately invoked it in the first place.

Still, it’s beautiful to watch, and I definitely love to hate it.

Coppola Dracula

never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

This is my favorite kind of awful film. Amazing cast and designers, grade A director, fantastic effects team... all working on absolute garbage. And hilariously (depressingly) enough, it’s just about the closest to canon adaptation we’ve gotten so far.

Of course the romance was predatory and awful, though as you mentioned before the first half is in some ways an excellent portrayal of an abusive relationship (even though that’s likely not the intended read of it)

I love how crass and awful Van Helsing is in this, even though it’s not really in character for his novel counterpart. He’s the best part of the movie for me. So delightfully awful.

Mina is unfortunately nothing more than a plot device. Her emotions and thoughts are entirely dependent on what’s convenient for the story. Though I unironically like the fraughtness of that one line in the blood sharing scene that goes something like “You killed Lucy; I love you.” It... doesn’t make sense in context but idk the concept of that kind of twisted, toxic feeling is intriguing to me.

Black Swan

never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it but I felt like my takeaway was far different from what the film makers intended. Regadless, Nina’s slow spiraling is difficult to watch and very well portrayed. Though given her work and home situation it’s not at all surprising, and just that much more upsetting to watch.

It seemed especially tragic that (iirc, again it’s been awhile) before the last show Lily reaches out to her and seems genuinely happy for her. All in all I wanted more from the movie, but what I did see was pretty thought provoking.

Labyrinth

never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

It was definitely a favorite as a kid but I’ve grown out of it. The quote, “Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave,” has definitely stuck with me as the quintessential example of a conditional, impossible to satisfy relationship. I can’t say I even remember much about the larger context of the scene but I think about that one quote a lot.

Otherwise it’s a fun, over the top film. I’m still a sucker for that ball scene but the effects are kind of hard to look at now.

Crimson Peak

never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

Yeah I have majorly mixed feelings about Crimson Peak. Killer aesthetic, most stilted script I’ve seen in a long time, appalling underlying message.

I love the concept but dislike every character in the story, except perhaps Lucille who’s pretty close to my heart. It doesn’t feel like a complete story to me, just a hastily cobbled together excuse for gothic romantic aesthetics and putting Doug Jones in more monster makeup.

It (2017)

never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

I’ve read It before but lol I have the worst memory issues so I didn’t actually remember much of the plot going in. So I was somewhat surprised by the opening scene even though I could tell something bad was definitely about to happen. Even despite that clean slate expectation, it just felt too over the top and gory to get a real reaction out of me. I felt the same way about most scenes Pennywise was in. It was just... trying too hard.

The highlight of the film was definitely the scenes between the kids. And the more mundane peril they faced honestly felt worlds tenser than the haunting sequences. There was far more fear in that one scene with Beverly standing in front of her father in the hallway than in the entire film. Or even when the neighborhood bullies were chasing Ben.

Regardless the haunting scenes themselves imo were most effective when Pennywise was not himself visible. (The distorted children’s program, the sink scene, etc) I just... didn’t like him as a villain even though I suppose I get why, thematically, a killer clown preying on children could be compelling.

I had plenty of other issues with it but I can’t think of them off the top of my head.

Brides of Dracula

never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

Technically I’ve seen it. But I can’t remember anything. Generally though, I love Peter Cushing, and even moreso him as Van Helsing. And I’m almost always a fan of Hanmer horror’s specific brand of cheesy.

Moulin Rouge

never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

It’s very silly up until it gets sad. Definitely has a ton of issues and hasn’t aged that well but I can overlook it for the kitsch.

And honestly nothing beats out Tango de Roxanne in terms of sheer cinematic drama.

Sommers Mummy

never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

I just remember liking it when I was younger. Don’t recall many details. Rachel Weiss’ eyebrows deserved better though.

Sommers Van Helsing

never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

I actually only saw this for the first time around a year ago. It’s a great deal of fun and I’ll never get over how the comical brides’ hissing scene is near identical to the Coppola’s films. A good deal of my enjoyment likely stemmed from early 2000s nostalgia, even though I do usually like silly things.

Either way, an Indiana Jones type Van Helsing is just a hilarious concept. And I love how Dracula just went ham the entire time, complete with constant dramatic hissing.

Thanks for the ask!

[diefakekalvingarrah]

hey hey is peanut awake?

probably not! But that's okay!

Saves me the embarassment! I wanted to ask for a favor!

It's a really dumb stupid stupid dumb favor but it's kinda important so! Please don't laugh at me! At least not to my face

uuh! muy nervoso!

So like,,, Good Omens is awesome and great and I love that you're passionate about it! And I love it when you talk about it because it geunuinly makes you happpy and you get all excited and I like it and I really do want to get into it because it means a lot to you! So that means a lot to me!

And like,,, Crowley is an important character to you and I get that too! I respect that! Having CCs is an awesome thing and kinning characters that mean a lot to you is neat and I understand it !! That's great! Never stop being you and doing what makes you happy! Because it makes me happy too

the problem is just that like... I'm gonna be blunt and honest with you. I really really really don't like it when you say I'm your Aziraphale

Listen you know better than anyone that I love matching kin

And I love being cute couple pairs because I'm cheesy like that.

But like,,, i dunno how to say this without sounding like a total loser

Like i'm embarrassed to admit this stuff but I trust you and I want to be around you as much as possible and I don't like when I have that nervous feeling. That nervous feeling I only get when I get a notification from someone I really don't like and don't want to talk to. I get that nervous feeling now when I talk to you because of this and that's like my signal that hey don't just shut up and drop it say something

And i know i CAN say something because i trust you and you mean a lot to me and i know you care about me too so like y'know

i dunno

I really don't like when you liken me to Aziraphale. I kinda get really upset, and really dysphoric, and then that just turns into me getting really angry but not wanting to get angry at you because you dont know any better so i just bottle it up and freak out about it alone later

and then i feel stupid because its a stupid thing to get upset about and that makes me even more angry

it's a big loop thats hard to get out of

and like,,,, being called a bottom. I get it's funny. it is. Bottom jokes are funny it's meme culture it's hilarious

but regadless, being called the bottom in this relationship that i'm very passionate about, and despite all my efforts in being the confident, protective, chill, extroverted, masculine one,, all things that make me very gender euphoric,, to have that all kinda stepped on just to suggest that I'M that bottom,,,, it kinda hurts man. feels bad

i dunno

and getting called aziraphale feels kinda the same

like i honestly can not find any similarities between me and aziraphale and I feel like that character is everything I'm not

it's like the complete opposite of me?? y'know??

and after all the change and all the growing I've done to get to who I am today, only to be told i'm the complete opposite

it hurts a lot

it feels like you didn't see any of it. Any of the growing. even though you've known since we were kids

it's upsetting

and when i asked you how i'm aziraphale,,, everything you listed was physical

and i know i joked about it but it's because i was super upset and joking is safe and i didn't want to make a fool of myself by getting upset

being called a character that has nothing to do to me in any way, just being of physical things,, really hurts. The fact that I'm overweight like him and my hair is big and goofy like him. And then you say it's because I'm "cute" like him,, feels like putting a bandais over a punch

i dunno

i feel like i look like a fool y'know

i feel like i look super weak and super dumb and super sensative but i don't know

I just want to ask that we just don't joke about that stuff anymore. I like making jokes with you. I like laughing with you. But it just doesn't feel like i'm laughing with you anymore it just starts to feel like i'm being degraded and laughed at and I really don't like it. It kind of ruins everything and makes me really nervous to talk to you.

Anyway,, i love you a lot. Text me when you wake up. I miss you all the time and I hope you understand where I'm coming from

I didn't know it hurt you like that

I didn't mean to hurt you I'm so sorry Muffin

I'm not making fun of you or mocking you I promise. I guess I just didn't know when I should stop teasing, or I just didn't get the hint when you told me you didn't like it

Which I know you told me when you didn't like it

I don't know why I didn't listen

I'm sorry Muffin I didn't know I did that to you

I promise I won't bring it up, because you aren't a bottom. You're not one at all, and you're not Aziraphale either. You're honestly, truly not. I guess I thought that maybe it'd be a funny tease to joke that you were?

But that's not a good excuse

You're strong, brave, smart, and masculine, you really really are.

You're not a feminine wuss like Aziraphale is, and you're not submissive like a bottom

You're not fat, either

I really really want you to know too that when I say you're 'soft' please please know I'm not calling you fat

Anybody in the world can be soft, it's just with how cozy it is cuddling you, that's the first word my big brain was capable of coming up with

I'm so sorry, I don't want you to ever feel nervous to text me or read what I texted you, that's the last thing in the world that I want to happen

Please just let me know whatever I do that bothers you, not just the overflowing things, and I promise I'll work on it

I hate making you upset, and making you feel like you can't tell me right away

I won't tease you as much as I have been, I know it's gotten a bit excessive

I'm sorry, I'm gonna work on all of that, it's gone too far

I hope you sleep well, Muffin

I love you :heart: I love you bunches

Thank you for being so understanding. I'm sorry for being such a bother about all this,, I hate to make things awkward or make you feel bad. I really am sorry. I really appreciate you being so kind to me about it

You're not a bother, your feelings matter to me. I would never want to make you upset and have things stay that way

I'm just happy you were willing to be honest with me :heart:

I know that's hard for you, and I really appreciate it

Moving to Glasgow, Scotland for studies, the first thing I learned from one of my Scottish flatmate who is an artistic hound of the city was that there is no way you will drink from Starbucks or Costa around here if you visited Frida’s.

That summer, since I have been postponing on seeing who’s Frida and how good is her coffee, I decided to grab a bus and see with my own eyes (and taste) this mystique coffee shop she’s been telling me about. And there I am, talking with Frida.

i loved the medieval au headcanons you did! how about doing some where the reader is the knight and sora and roxas are royalty? i must protect my boys

I have so many medival AU stuff just r o t t i n g in my ask, w h e e z e - big soz bout that. im glad y’all seemed to like the AU so much though !

Sora :

I can see Sora being that type of prince who spends more time outside the castle than inside, running and having fun around the kingdom with like one or two guards at max - there’s no tension or awkward atmosphere between the royal family and the villagers because they’re treated kindly and equally. So despite being a common citizen, you’d be one of Sora’s closest childhood friends ! 

When you two first met, you had no idea he was the crown prince, so you merely asked him if he wanted to play with you - And Sora being Sora, he even got his personal guards to join the fun games you suggested. Imagine your surprise the next day, when the rest of your friends bombared you with questions about the prince. To this day, he still laughs at the fact that you never figured t h a t out after seeing his clothes or y’know. The little crown on his head. 

Everyone mostly sees Sora as a carefree, oblivious and sometimes lazy prince (because he usually skips his classes and goes to hide at your place) - but you get to see that he truly cares about his kingdom and his people. He’ll talk about the projects to renovate and build schools, public services and stuff that his parents are working on with such passion that you’ll feel hopeful and eager to see that future he dreams of. Sora ain’t motivated or smart enough to properly teach you the stuff he learns in the palace, but he i s rather smart and mature for his young age.

Once his parents pass away due to an unfortunate accident years later, you’ll see him less and less - but even though he’s super b u s y with affairs of the court and stuff, Sora still makes time to visit you at least once every week and catch up with you and your life ! You do notice how he avoids talking about himself, though. And that’s what motivates you to become a knight, to help him feel a bit less lonely in such a big empty palace. Like, he might be the king, but he’s still your friend - he doesn’t have to carry the weight of the crown on his own. No one is surprised when he appoints you as his personal bodyguard.

As for romance, he has definitely loved you for a long time. Sora would have no problem when it comes to confessing ! He was raised knowing that he was free to love whoever he wanted, regadless of social status, gender or nationality. But he knows it’s not exactly a good time for romance considering he’s busy 24/7, carrying on his parents’ projects and supervising construction and whatnot. And he’s the king now, he can’t afford to be selfish when his kingdom needs him. 

So it’s pretty much up to you ! If you make the first move and confess, he’d be s u p e r happy. Sora would want to make a public announcement right away, but he understands if you want to be more private about your relationship. But like. Y’know. He r e a l l y wants to celebrate this, so indulge him when he begs you to plan a small gathering or party. If you don’t confess or if you don’t have any feelings for him, that’s okay too ! Sora is glad to have you by his side as his best and closest friend, your honest opinion and support are more than he could ever ask for.

Roxas :

Not gonna lie, Roxas is probably a bastard prince. Son of the king and a commoner, probably forced to live in the castle as a “long distance relative”, posing as the kid of some made up duke or something to avoid the scandal from getting out. He’s also kind of a cryptid, avoiding everyone and refusing to speak to anyone but the king - the villagers and other servants begin spreading stories and rumours about the ghost of a kid haunting the palace.

You two would meet later in life, during your teen years as you begin your training as a knight in the palace. The other apprentices dare you to explore the royal library and discover the truth about the so called “ghost” - but instead, you find Roxas himself taking a nap. He’d disappear the second you look away, leaving you to wonder if he was ever there in the first place. As time passes, you’d begin seeing him around more and more, noticing how he looks away everytime you meet his gaze. And you’re just there r e a l l y confused because he’s clearly a noble by the way he dresses and how the other servants address him. 

But there he is, opening doors for you, helping you carry materials and weapons around if he happens to see you, giving you hints and tips on how to navigate the castle more efficiently. All of that without muttering a s i n g l e fucking word. In reality, Roxas finds you interesting and he also thinks it’s r e a l l y funny the way you think he’s a ghost only you can see. After he finally decides to come clean and confess that he was sorta messing with you, Roxas would become your first actual friend in the castle ! And you’d be the first person he has ever spoken to in years ! It’s a win-win situation.

Your friendship is a rather odd one, since you do most of the talking - but you two get to learn a lot from each other ! Roxas helps you in your daily life as a knight in training, as well as teaching you how to read or who to avoid or befriend in the castle, while you slowly get him to come out of his shell more and more every day to everyone’s surprise. He’ll confide you with his problems, as well as the story about his true origins. But don’t bother getting him to try to claim the throne once his father dies, Roxas doesn’t really care about royalty or fancy titles - thanks to you, he knows that there’s an entire world out there to explore and experience for himself.

As soon as you finally graduate and become a real knight, Roxas would ask you to run away with him. No small talk, no warnings - he just shows up with the brightest smile on his face, ready to leave his past behind. And you know. He also confesses while he’s at it. It’s sudden and unexpected, just the way he’s always done things. If you’re speechless, Roxas would continue and tell you that he’s liked you for a while and that he wants to have a life full of adventure and freedom with you, instead of being stuck in a dying kingdom. If his feelings are reciprocated and you chose to run away with him, he’d burst out laughing out of hapiness and spin you around. 

Or at least try to spin you cause armours are pretty h e a v y. You two would become a myth among the people, the ghost of a nobleman and his trusted knight and lover ! If you decide to stay and reject him, Roxas would be a bit discouraged and feel a tad betrayed - but he’d accept your decision in the end. Roxas wants to remember you as the brave knight who freed him from his tower, as his best friend - so he’d leave to start his new life without warning to avoid any bittersweet goodbyes.
