THE HOMESTUCK IS TAKING OVER!! AGHHHHH!!!

[bulkheadbignaturals]

GOODRA ART POST GOODRA ART POST EVERYBODY REJOICE AND CHEER

The brainrot has spread so much i am now making my own Transformers AU

Here's my designs for the main Autobot cast! (for now...... Also i can't design cars for SHIT)

[doublequaterpounder]

WAHOOOO!!!! mental health and feedism woo woo!!!

i always see peeps asking feedees “what has your fam said about your gain” and like i can understand why that is like ooo hot evidence of weight gain but like idk (sorry to be a boner killer) but that can be a hella rough question for some when the mix between fantasy and reality collide

personally! idk i don’t have a large family (including extended) but i recently heard my aunt and cousin making fun of me behind my back cause of my gain and body from another family member

fam let me tell you that shit is still having a severe affect on my menty health, i’m still gonna be getting fatter but it stings a lot. it’s a tough world out here in gainsville. just wanna be out here humanising the weight gain world

but yeah anyway yolo swag fat sorry just brain is braining atm

but like so serious i constantly see so many people come in and out of this community due to mental health related reasons cause the split between reality and fantasy is so far split and idk i just think we can be human with all this stuff esp with each other any way blah blah blah sorry for the word spew

[ghostiguro]

CAT BOY YEEHAW!!!

i fucking love his design, it's so cool & swag, i hope you agree. 👉👈

OK so allow me to ramble:

Two tails, because I think that's cool af & I love when animal deity's have like extra eyes, tails, horns, wings, etc.

Choker w/ a lil chain detail; although I think he would more likely hate it cuz after being chained for 1000+ years, would you really wanna wear more chains?? HOWEVER, counterpoint, it looks sick af. I rest my case, your honour.

Cold shoulder sleeved shirt cuz, again, it looks sick af.

WEAPONS: so obviously, the God of Death NEEDS a scythe. However, I used to have a character who had a weapon that was basically two mini scythes chained together; I recently learned that this weapon has a name!! It's called a kusarigama (more specifically, a dual kusarigama), & it looks cool, I like it. I like the idea that he can basically summon his weapons from his blood (practical? not really. cool? yes.), so he can switch between the scythe & kusarigama no prob. Side note, if we applied the rules of Avatar: Last Airbender, he would be a water-bender; more specifically, a blood-bender. Cuz OF COURSE he would be, don't argue, council has spoken. (NOTE: I know they're technically sickles, not mini scythes, but I don't care enough to go back & edit it for the 100th time.)

I think his combat-style would be more stealth & agility, as well as magic. I don't think he would be the most physically strong of the bishops (that spot is reserved for dear Heket >:3).

When first indoctrinated (post-battle), I imagine he would have a hard time with things like fine motor skills, walking, etc. cuz he hasn't really used his limbs for over a thousand years now. I also think even after he's kind of recovered, he'd still have chronic joint pain & issues like that. On top of that, I imagine for awhile he would experience some degree of hallucinations & nightmares, as prolonged isolation & solitary confinement can leave a lot of cognitive & psychological damage. In his god form, he wouldn't be as affected by it, but after being knocked down into a more mortal form, the effects of it would grab him by the throat & throttle him around like a ragdoll.

I'm absolutely projecting here... bro has gotta have hella abandonment & trust issues. Is being betrayed & locked away in the afterlife by your own family not the ultimate form of abandonment?? i cast mental illness on him, case closed.

The breed of cat I based him off of is a maine coon; a) fluffy cat :3, b) LARGE fluffy cat. He is indeed a large cat so it makes sense to me. :P

Ok ramble done for now, pls enjoy. UwU

I definitely would love some Vox x Singer!reader headcannons. The concept is hella swag!!

Vox x Singer! Reader | Headcannons

Warnings ⚠️: Drugs, very short

Vox has eyes EVERYWHERE, so he’s immediately taken aback when you and your skyrocketing career shoot up out of nowhere

Who are you? Where did you get all of this talent? When can he get a contract on your soul?

After your first album was in everyone’s ears, he knew he needed you. Either your soul or even you as a Vee, he had to share some of your power.

I mean, with a popular artist, you could spew any mumbo jumbo in your songs and people will eat it up, it’s a sure way power-grab.

Vox had been looking for you everywhere, but he could never find you.

He got even more antsy to get you on his side when he learned you were starting to deal souls of your own.

Even though you weren’t an Overlord, you were influential, and Carmilla thought that was good enough to be invited to the next Overlord meeting.

Once in the meeting, Vox immediately introduced himself and his proposal.

You denied the soul deal, and you didn’t want to rebrand yourself as a Vee, which pissed him off.

You reassured him that you would still be up for an offer with him, if he needed anything just to get in contact.

Without thinking, he asked you to live with the Vees in the V Tower, so you could be involved with the Vees, but not an actual Vee.

You agreed, seeing that was good enough, but you demanded to keep your studio in your small turf on the other side of the Pride Ring

Vel and Val were fine with you staying with them, but they were pissed at Vox for not warning them beforehand or even letting them in on the decision.

With this close, homey contact, Vox started to catch feelings. While each Vee, and you, had your own small penthouse on the top floor of the V tower, he desperately wanted to share one with you. Oh how he craved waking up to the sight of you.

One fateful night, after using some of Val’s drugs to destress, he got too loopy and banged on your door at 2:27am.

You begrudgingly drug him into your bed and made him sleep, curling him beside him

He was so confused and flustered to regain consciousness that morning, apologizing once you woke with him.

You just warned him to be careful before giving him a kiss, telling him to shut up and that you were going back to sleep.

Maybe he should take Val’s advice more often.

Tech conferences are not for me.

For the last two days I've been helping to run a demo booth for my company at the Databricks summit and while I really enjoy the customer interaction and demoing and learning from my peers, the sheer quantity of stimulus from 8am to 8pm is breaking my brain.

On the expo floor they play club remixes of popular songs at high volume all day, so your baseline is shouting. And then you have thousands of people all shouting over each other on top of that. And the overhead lights are hella bright and most of the booths have LED lights and all the monitors are glaring to the point that I feel like the lights all have sounds too.

Tonight I got back to my hotel room with my takeaway dinner and I was so relieved to be in a quiet place I literally started crying. I hadn't eaten since breakfast because there weren't GF lunch options, though, so I didn't stop eating my tofu and rice noodles. I was just ugly sobbing while trying to stuff my face.

And what's wild is that most of my coworkers were headed to dinner together at a bar/restaurant AFTER scream-talking for 10 hours that day.

Like, sure my brain isn't normal but I feel like that's an excessive amount of socializing even for neurotypical people.

Anyway, me and my vendor swag homies are going to watch some HGTV and go to sleep early because we've got to do it all over again tomorrow.

[lazareneblessing]

bursts in with two extra large iced coffees. you should tell us more about aiden 🤲🫶

OMG HIIII TEHEHE TWIRLS HAIR. so. aiden infodump!!

legal name aiden december, he's a galliard who ended up joining the hart wardens. he's kind of scrawny and doesn't have all that much going for him except for his strangely powerful personality. got that deer in the headlights swag. he has been plagued by strange visions since birth so he was a very peculiar and off-putting child and his parents did NOT wanna put up with his ass. so he fell in with a bad crowd of equally peculiar and off-putting fellas and started dealing to be financially independent and get the fuck away from home but oops he started Abusing Substances. all that earned him a stay at juvie after which clay first contacted him. at that point he has been homeless/no contact with his parents for like 2 years and clay taunted him into confronting them during which his first change happened and his parents ended up splattered all over the house. RIP! very sad. either way he joined the beaver pack and all he got from that was going clean so like, good for him? but scraper and clay were awful and nasty to him as they are, and he kind of just took it because he believed he owed them. tapping into his spiritual side with black tarn was a big big big step for him, it meant so much to learn that he's not literally insane and that all of this is Real. he may not be a theurge but he has a very strong intuition and could tap into the umbra even before learning the proper rites tehehe.

so that's for pre-book backstory ig? personality-wise as i mentioned he is very much spiritual, he respects the spirits and believes in garou's mission of balancing the two realities they exist in. despite that he has a lot of faith in humanity and does remarkably well in social settings - he works at byzance as a barista :3 and just in general he is pretty extroverted. and he cares about everyone so so much... he is such a pack hypeman like he has a way with words and enough conviction behind them to get the gang GOING !! he is however rather timid and lowkey most of the time. he's hella patient and not quick to anger at all - he represses his rage a lot because he's a control freak and doesn't want a repeat of what happened during his first change. he's super perceptive and has a keen eye for details, especially stuff that other people might overlook, which makes him a great investigator - but also pisses off stormcat because he keeps asking her questions about the damnest things LMAOOOO. when he can't rely on his personality, he generally uses his wits to get out of bad situations. because his physical stats are shit. all he has going on there is his decent knife-throwing.

when it comes to relationships :333 he's close to his whole pack tbh but there's a lot of different dynamics happening so let me get into it a bit.

so starting off strong with elton he's the love of his life <3 aiden was SO suspicious of how much kindness elton was showing him at first, thinking that since he's a shadow lord he has some ulterior motives, but very quickly he realised that elton is just a big big nerdy softie LOL. they became quick friends during the month long lockdown daphne put them under, between investigating together, getting burritos and just hanging out reading and exchanging notes on each other's books at elton's flat. they have a very similiar dry humor and a shared interest in spirituality and occult, both garou and human, AND generally they employ similiar methods in dealing with various problems so that also created a lot of mutual understanding between them. aiden is way more considerate of humanity though, so they do balance each other in that regard. like idk aiden looks up to him so much and thinks he's so cool but also sweet <3 and he brought so much life into elton's life. and then they started kissing with tongue and calling each other mate romantically. like bros do. idk theres so much about them....

nin and aiden the breadwinners of the pack... i don't have as many elaborate thoughts here because aiden just loves nin so much they were also very quick friends, like they're fully understanding of each other's quirks and hang out a lot. probably play video games together because aiden is canonically a gamer. they hang out and maintain the woods a lot together it's a fun time :3

melodie genuinely intimidated aiden at first quite a lot despite the fact that he was the one to rescue her from a pumpkin cult, like she just has that aura about her. they quickly bonded because aiden was super inquisitive about the three families, harmonie and all the stuff the broad brook caern was up to. melodie thinks his cooking is terrible but she will still turn up unannounced at his cabin to steal it

podge and aiden are literally girl so confusing coded. there's a lot there. i think a lot of it comes from how podge is just very proactive in everything he does and like jumps into insane shenenigans no thoughts just full on ballistic and aiden is like uhm maybe we should actually consider our options here maybe we should try the stealthy route maybe we should consult the spirits first... like on a principle he agrees with podge on a LOT of things like hell yeah lets kill this fucking ceo however maybe lets not just bomb the whole building because there will be way too much collateral damage and also we do not need cops on our ass we gotta be SMART about it. podge disagrees. they really should work it out on a remix. because they do vibe they're like both more silly than serious :3 and they also care about humanity :3 and theyre roommates… ohmy god they were roommates. but they dont smooch bcuz aiden is down horrendously

uhhh gosh that's about it? if you have any more specific questions abt him :3 pls do ask he's my pookie ultimate recently

[banhtet]

HAYAMI RAMBLE POST

hii. been busy here and there so all ive done is rewatching unfinished anime series and dealing w both asthma and acute laryngitis and depression 🤡🤡

but ive been thinking abt hayami whenever i listen to mitski so. I Have To make a post abf her

this will be hcs mostly.............. 💀 some hcs/interpretation will be ooc as i need to rewatch the anime + reread the manga and the korotan series. but it physically hurts me sometimes bc i get too excited, then ill spiral into hatred for the series. ALSO MY INTEREST IN IT HAS BEEN DILUTING? THATS NOT GOOD!

───────────────────────────────

- i think hayami straightens her hair for the majority of her middle school final yr. bc in the manga, its shown in the manga that she still has curly frilly hair but to separate herself from Irina, its tied up and straightened

- which leaves me to think shes those cases of blonde suddenly turn brunette as they grow older but in her case its like hella obvious. I dont think her mom would let her dye her hair so the dying hair thing is out of the question for me

- this mostly stems from the ova where she has blonde hair + some ppls interpretation of hayami in which she has brown hair and i think thats so swag

- i think hayami has hazel eyes.. just bc it just seems fitting that she does yk. and also brown hair + hazel eyes combo hayami ? God Bless

- how others see hayamis eyes can depend on the lighting.. like when its sunset it appears more brown to others or when its morning, it appears more green. could even be gold in a very specific moment

- its mentioned that hayami is more expressive in the beginning of assclass and gets more stoic later on.

- And then i think abt how matsui tried to box hayami into the tsundere stereotype even tho it just makes me see her more as a person w communication problems and issues handling her facial expressions

- i think hayami naturally just has like an angry face (furrowed brows and all that)..

- combined w her communication problems, hayami is pretty much just misunderstood by her classmates as someone whos difficult and irritable (one example is the boys group chat thing where okajima expresses that he likes hayami and in turns maehara is like "eeeehh... uhhhhh.. dunno dude shes kinda scary")

- its also Very Important to me that hayami has said tsundere-esque lines.. Like the infamous "Dont get the wrong idea" when saving itona and also her line in the popularity ranking ("Its not like im happy or anything" or smth of that nature)

- Ik why she said those but Why is she saying them specifically? like whys she trying to Stay Neutral/not opinionated abt her ranking in particular.

- shes so catcore. Hayami was a latchkey child from a very young age. we dont rlly have any info on hayamis life from her graduation forward aside from some in the korotan, the epilogue and like some meta info,,

hayami was relied on a lot and had to do others dirty bidding. i imagine her believing that it was some form of friendship, some way of maintaining their relationship (considering the absence of her father and mother and her chasing for validations)

i think her previous classmates were afraid of her at the beginning, but when realized that hayami had good intentions, they used her loneliness to benefit themselves

(UTTER OVERTHINKING) do you think that her being "sassy" or smth of that nature is to barricade others from getting too close in hopes of not being fooled/used for dirty works again, its also her nature in general But like at the same time, its prob one of the only approach of communication shes used to (knowing what happens after and all that). Do you think she has disorganized (leaning a bit more on anxious) attachment. Do you think that her communication problems already make her appear to be cold but her interpersonal difficulties drive it further . Why does she have such little connections to the girls despite being seen w them often. do you think abt yada, whos multitalented, jealous of hayami ,whos noted by others for mostly her sniping talent and the rest is ignored. do y

its so weird to me that hayami stagnated in her development? (her being a receptionist, the whole "she strives to be a coworker everyone can rely on" and also singlehandedly fishing chiba out of unemployment)

its great that shes honed her receptionist skills but in the end, its mostly just for helping someone else. and the fact that chiba isnt depicted as like being against it is kinda off.. hayamis known for her stretching thin of herself and chiba, being arguably hayamis closest friend, would. at least realize that she has a self-sacrificing tendency (seeing how observant he is yk)

?? apparently she singlehandledly handles every business and sales matters. insane. also,, ig its fitting that hayami chose a fast-paced position for her job but idk man. Idk its still insane to me that hayami is chibas receptionist..

on a lighter note she cut her hair at some point in the future so thats cool

demi hayami forever. shes 100% demi. i also think shes unlabeled, like she doesnt rlly care what she is tbh. others ask her abt it and shes like "idk up to interpretation" (ooc)

its so funny to me. that in korotan c, apparently she showed up to watch asano having a lil date w princess lea? bc it mentioned her name later on helping lea from the "bodyguards" (along w chiba too.. this makes their viewing their classmates from afar in the animated koro q funnier tbh)

hayami in the skiing club.....

i think her interest/reason for joining is mostly that she wanna try it and also bc i think she saw it on tv a few times and got fascinated by the ppl skiing/snowboarding

dunno where the clubs got the budget to apparently Go Fucking Skiing frequently,, or how the club would even operate (in Middle School no less). but i think itd be pretty funny if the club disbanded some time later and hayami joined a dance club instead (which would make more sense)

i think hayami had done ballet before. as a kid. Just a hc but she wanted smth to do rather than. Sitting watching tv bc no ones home

horrible horrible thought but hayami seems semi like those kids whose parents are on the verge of a divorce (projection) 💀

i think one of the reasons why i tend to read hayami as having avpd is. just the fact that she pays attention to 'the class dynamic and harmony and such'? im not 100% sure on the meaning of that sentence but that just reminds me of my experience w avpd and i Have To hc her as having it

as a final thing :

[datclassicrockfan42]

Who are the monkees?

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

DEAR LORD YES

(Sorry I don’t get this question very often)

Anyways, allow me to introduce you to The Monkees

They were a 60s rock band with a TV show(like the Aquabats). Originally created to make money and sell records but after a rebellion from their music producer, they truly(at least in my eyes) became a true band. Unfortunately a lot of factors caused the bands decline in popularity and their dissolvement. They did get back together in the 80’s and 90’s with a little surge in popularity, and thoughout the 2000s and 2010s they continued to tour. Currently the last remaining Monkee(Micky) is doing shows to honor the band these years.(this is definitely a cliff notes version bc(well I kinda lost my Monkee Autism for MCR autism and there’s no way I can fit the entire story into a single post, we can keep talking about this through dm through)

Now for the members. This group consists of four members. Davy, Micky, Peter, and Mike

Here’s a photo

The first member is Davy Jones.(Bottom Right)Short, British, and babyfaced. He’s basically the “Paul McCartney” of the group, the one that all the girls love(at least when the show first aired). In the band lineup, he does vocals, tambourine, and maracas(usually has like fifty maracas) In the show, he’s the group’s hopeless romantic. Always going after a girl and falling in love. However that whole “Davy falls in love and now it’s our problem” is much more of a season one plot line than season two(not to say doesn’t happen there too.)

Next is Micky Dolenz.(Top left). The bands…(for really lack of a better term here) wild card. He’s very energetic and comedic. In the band he’s the drummer but also does vocals most of the time. In the show, he’s wild, chaotic, and the jokester of the group.

Next is Peter Tork( bottom right). Sweet, sensitive Peter. Look at him isn’t he cute? In the band, he’s the bassist, but also plays a multitude of instruments. In the show he was the dummy. The butt of the joke all the time. His shy, awkward(auto fill suggested knees here, and I’m questioning everything), personality and lack of social skills was a constant joke during the series. Actual Peter is pretty intellectual.

Last but certainly not least(especially on this blog) is Mike(top right, in the green wool hat) the second Michael in my life(Mikey was the first). Ah Michael Nesmith. Where to start? Stoic, quiet,aloof, but a total goof sometimes.(starting to sound familiar here)He has what this website calls…autism swag. Usually wearing a little hat(okay now that I type this here I’m starting to realize the similarities between the two Michaels in my life), this Texan is the “serious one.” The dad of group basically. In the band he plays guitar and actually wrote a few songs(oh we’re gonna talk about this). In the show, he was basically the voice of reason. Not really focused on that much,but he had his moments. I should mention that he got rid of the hat around season two, but you can still identify him by his massive sideburns.

Look at these

Look at the size of them

NOW THE SHOW AND MUSIC.

The show: The show aired from 1966-1968 with two seasons. They also had two tv specials and one hella trippy movie. Currently a lot of the episodes have been taken off YT(damn copyright) but we have archive.com and many drive folders containing these episodes. Episode plots can go from “guys Davy’s in love again and now it’s our problem” to “Crap we can’t pay the rent” to “crap we gotta save America from spies”. And season two only gets weirder. Each episode usually contains two “romps” which are basically music videos that showcase songs(like I said made to sell records)

(I do gotta warn you tho. This show was made in the 60s…so some of the content is not actually…politically correct according to today’s standards. So yea just be prepared for that)

Episodes I’d personally recommend for beginners are

Season 1 Ep 8: don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. A simple episode. Displays each of the characters personally traits pretty well. Has good songs.

Season 1 ep 23: Captain Crocodilez a pretty funny episode. Got a lot of that typical Monkee rapid fire random humor(which is kinda Aquabatsish). Some good romps and I find this ep quite enjoyable

Season one ep 12: I’ve got a little song here. This is a Mike focused episode and is a little bit sadder than the majority of eps, but is overall good. It’s got the bands superhero personas, the Monkeemen. Good songs too.

Season two episode 16: fairytale. An iconic episode.(so sometimes the guys would dress up in drag to make their schemes work and there’s lots of that in this episode) it’s a bit more off the walls(which is normal in season two) but still overall a good episode.

Here’s the link for the archive(kinda bad quality but pretty accessible)

Edit: so i checked and something is wrong with the link….so yea

Ummm if yall want I can dm you a link to one of the drives

NOW FOR MUSIC

(Buckle up)

So the group(in the tv show years) released(holy shit) 9 albums.

The Monkees(a classic album of songs from the show) notable tracks include Last train to Clarksville, Saturday’s child, Sweet Young Thing, and Papa Gene’s blues

More of the Monkees(another classic, once again full of songs from the show) notable tracks include Mary,Mary , I’m not your stepping stone, the kind of girl I could love, and(you probably know this one) I’m a believer(yep the song from shrek was a Monkees song)

However, these albums were made with little to no creative control. Opting for studio musicans and writers than the actual guys themselves(who were all pretty good musicans) but after some rebellion, the producer getting fired, and a hole in a hotel wall(before the producer got fired,(guess who did this one lol). The band was able to play their own instruments.

Which brings us to an era which I personally consider the bands finest:

Headquarters: a masterpiece with the group playing almost of all their own instruments. Notable tracks include: Sunny Girlfriend, for Pete’s sake, and Randy Scouse Git

Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones(thats actually all the members zodiac signs, expect Davy’s bc him and Mike are both Capricorns and they actually share a birthday(Dec 30): this is their psychedelic album(hey it’s 1967 everyone’s doing it) Notable tracks here include: Pleasant Valley Sunday, Love is only sleeping, Star Collector and the door into summer.

The Birds, The Bees, and The Monkees: another classic👌. Notable tracks here include: Daydream Believer, Tapioca Tundra, and Dream World.

We then have the HEAD(that trippy movie i was talking about(that’s a little advanced tho, stick to the show for now) soundtrack: notable tracks here include: Porpoise Song, As we go along, circle sky, and daddy’s song.

Now for some mythbustijg bc oh boy

They didn’t play their own instruments: actually a lot of the guys were originally musicians before the show(Mike and Peter were folk singers, and Davy worked in broadway(not an instrument but still cool to know). We kinda already debunked this one though so let’s move on to the next:

They didn’t write their own songs: kinda true. The studio did bring in some studio writers to write songs, but the guys actually wrote some songs themselves(mainly Mike, but the others did too)

Ok well I’ve been typing for quite a while now and my hands tried soo ima leave this here. DM me if you want any more info(I have a master degree in the history of Micheal Nesmith with a minor in the band and show history)

[katyspersonal]

What's your interpretation that the left hand of cleric beast is much bigger that the right?🤔

Well, like I've pointed out before, the only explanation I am seeing is blood ministration being done on the left arm!

However, this might get a little more interesting with the Cleric Beasts, because Emilia is also one, yet her arms are symmetrical!

My closest guess to why it happened is because of something Healing Church has been known to do with female bodies. Namely - do some sort of surgery/manipulation/operation on them in order to change their blood type into 'holy blood' one, which they are able to share with the hunters!

English localization team had to use term "groomed" instead of whatever this actually says, and this is definitely going into top 10 of my biggest headaches with mistranslations! As you can see from the Japanese script retranslation ( x ), the meaning is more literal, implying a procedure. I always felt like it would be a surgery on bone marrow, since this is where blood cells are produced, and doctors in Bloodborne could have learned to alter them into having impossible type of blood!

So, as a female cleric, Amelia might have had her first communion with the holy blood as a Blood Saint, instead of generic blood ministration treatment like apparently everyone else has!

I am still not sure why female staff specifically was the Blood Saints, since apparently blood vials are not menstrual blood, as we can learn thanks to Adeline:

Maybe it could have something to do with menstrual cycle, though, because of the whole cycle of moon vs menstrual cycle thing, and Laurence being affiliated with Moon Presence, and then Micolash also stealing his swag and basing his own institution on:

I'd say this is either some sort of deeply rooted superstition within the setting, or in fact, yes, the holy blood links to the Great Ones who put HELLA importance on blood and birth, so being biologically female is crucial for that link to take intended effects.

Ludwig is an interesting case, though! He was SUPPOSED to have blood ministration too, like Laurence or Cleric Beast of the Bridge! Why would not the first Healing Church hunter and the HEAD of their hunters do something so crucial? Especially since Cleric Beast of the Bridge drops the Sword Badge with which you buy Hunter Chief Emblem, implying that this beast is currently what Ludwig used to be? But his left arm is not bigger. In fact, it is even smaller. So I am trying to think of the variants of what had happened here:

1) Ludwig somehow merged with an actual horse, so his anatomy is simply no longer judged through the same lense

2) Ludwig is a leftie, and this is where he holds his Holy Moonlight Sword, so its effect would be a "remedy" for possible arm deformations

3) Ludwig is not a simple beast, but the one with a lot of Kin features, so his anatomy is simply no longer judged through the same lense (+horses are primarily herbivores, and Kin is associated with the flora in the setting, so maybe that's why he went horsegirl mode instead of getting something weak like antlers lol)

4) Ludwig is trans and actually was the first to get Blood Saint treatment rather than regular blood ministration (+we take Adeline's blood from her right arm, and notice that his right arm is a little bigger)

5) Ludwig is a cis man and was the first biological male who attempted to receive Blood Saint treatment instead of regular blood ministration, but that didn't take the intended effect because the gods Be Like That in the setting + his unusual visions and mutation might be the side effect of that and that's why Healing Church stopped doing that with male organisms. Basically, if a male attempts becoming a living factory for the holy blood, it will go "wrong".

6) Combinations of the above points

.....Okay, that went a little unfocused from the initial topic, but you see my points here! Thank you for the ask!

_________________

Bonus ideas:

- Whereas Ludwig is holding the Holy Moonlight Sword in his left hand, Amelia also is grasping the Gold Pendant in her left hand. So maybe nothing was special about her, but holding a special item in the "effected" hand will remedy the asymmetry effect, and had Amelia not been doing that all the time, she'd be asymmetrical too?

- Amelia using recolored model for Bell-Ringing Woman for her appearance might be not accidental, but a fuel for the headcanon that she has Pthumerian blood too, and Pthumerians might simply evolve differently, or traditionally have different way they' go for the blood communition. Off the top of my head, look at Loran Clerics having same sized arms:

Basically, I can answer why Cleric Beasts and the huntsmen have asymmetrical arms, but not why people like Emilia and Ludwig broke the trend despite being the first in line to have blood ministration normally... Because I just have too many ideas, and my preference usually falls towards the most logical ones, but when there are equally logical ideas I become helpless :')

Ruriko Midorikawa ramblings

Like this is the character I was most excited for these notes are very scattered I apologize

Where do I start with fucking Ruriko Midorikawa

Ruriko Midorikawa in the original series is a very different character. While still the daughter of the man who altered Takeshi, in the original she initially believes Takeshi killed her father and spends a decent chunk of the first “season” attempting to thwart Takeshi in addition to SHOCKER before beginning to realize they have the same enemy.

Their shared history of having their lives completely upturned by SHOCKER was an element I found infuriatingly intriguing, I felt like she had the potential to have this amazing character dynamic and turn into one of the more important cast members if it wasn’t for the limitations of 70′s sexism. So when Shin Kamen Rider was announced and Ruriko was so prominently portrayed she became the character I immediately was the most excited for

She didn’t just live up to my expectations but fucking shattered them

She’s incredible  

Ruriko at one point describes a computer program she is working on as “Hella complex”

Ruriko is a test tube baby who was born so her father could find a “practical use for Prana” with Augmentations that allow her to interface with technology, and is something of a walking database which she uses to try and dismantle SHOCKER.

While it is implied she was close to her brother, it is made abundantly clear that her relationship with her father is distant at best. When he dies she genuinely has difficulty figuring out how to feel about it

She shows more fondness for the ShOCKER AI K than her father which says all that is needed.

As the film goes on Ruriko rather blatantly comes to see Takeshi as family.

In the gif below, we end up seeing Ruriko break her stoic demeanor for the first time, after hearing Takeshi’s

“Surprisingly positive look on my father’s ego”

Before calling him a fool and sadly noting that is probably why he was chosen by Hiroshi as her “guard dog”

I have no idea how the version in the gifset ended up with such a fucked framerate but it has haunted me

Her time running from SHOCKER has left her paranoid with SEVERAL safe houses each with extensive security measures. When approached by the government’s Anti-SHOCKER Alliance she decides to “play along” for their resources.

At one point the Intelligence Operative hands her a gun to which she states that she will need another magazine

She then adds she will also need another gun

Despite her cold, clinical character she frequently shows a fucking bombastically showy side which is just a joy to watch. Like when she decides instead of just shooting KOA-1 when his virus doesn’t infect her, she will fake being infected for a very long time so she can monologue about how she countered it. This is after she gunned her through the various automatons

Due to growing up in a fascist organization she has been left with some trust issues, with many of her scenes with Hongo being her defense slowly being lowered by his traumatized swag and actually allows herself to finally truly trust someone again.

Then there is of course her dynamic with Hiromi

For the unaware Hiromi is not a name picked out of a hat. Hiromi was Ruriko’s college friend in the original show who honestly didn’t have that much memorable about her but eh 70′s children show what are you gonna do

Hiromi is reinvented as the Wasp Aug here, someone from SHOCKER Ruriko was close to before she defected. Ruriko’s stoicism does not break when meeting with her old “friend” repeatedly trying to get Hiromi to join her in leaving the Organization.  

Also this isn’t important but Hiromi frequently has the classic SHOCKER leitmotif from the original series playing which was a fucking amazing surprise as that was not on the soundtrack!

It doesn’t work and she and Takeshi flee as Hiromi makes it clear the organization’s stance on traitors. However when Ruriko is gone, Hiromi looks on wistfully at them leaving by bike.

There is a rather cute scene in which after leaving HAA-1′s base Takeshi sets up a camp for them because he simply prefers camping to staying in like a hotel, and he ends up cooking for them as Ruriko works on trying to alter the unfinished SHOCKER augs programming to simplify things later on

Takeshi states that she should savor her food more, Ruriko replies that she only really cares about the nutritional aspect. When they are approached by the brain washed townsfolk Ruriko furiously starts cramming as much of Takeshi’s food in her mouth before they go.

As they prepare to leave Takeshi states that he knows she doesn’t trust people, but he has a plan and if she won’t trust him she hopes she will trust his plan

She responds that she doesn’t trust his plan, she trusts him and I am going to begin sobbing uncontrollably at this point

She goes again to try and convince Hiromi , seemingly alone.

Hiromi yet again doesn’t bite and is surprised she felt safe enough to do this alone

Ruriko reminds her “"I told you, I'm well-prepared."

as they continue talking, just desperately trying to convince the other to come back to the other, Hiromi finally points states that Ruriko’s problem is she doesn’t trust anyone

Ruriko’s response is simple

“I don’t have faith in many things. But I believe in Masked Rider”

Takeshi destroys the plot thing view tactical fucking aerial Kick strike

Ruriko again pleads with Hiromi to join them

Hiromi responds in what is surely a healthy way of talking to your crush

“I think now I’m going to make you cry Ruri-Ruri”

as a vespid enjoyer I owe this movie my fucking life, you made a monster of the week only memorable for her horrifying death scream the coolest fucking villain in the movie

Hiromi promptly attempts to savagely kill Ruriko’s “pet” (Takeshi Hongo) in an extended and dope as fuck fight scene set to my personal favorite variation of  the SHOCKER AUG leitmotif

In the end Hiromi is spared by the “guard dog” and Ruriko again pleads with her to join her as a lovely reprise of “At the Train Tracks” plays. However Hiromi’s fate is rather tragically obvious when one has listened to the soundtrack and seen the track name

“Kill the Bee”

The government agents she earlier allied with come in and one of them (Taki) shoots Hiromi in the heart with a specially made bullet gained through Ruriko’s intel. Ruriko is understandably distraught at inadvertently leading to her “friend’s” death.

Throughout the film Takeshi and Ruriko’s bond has shown them to be, aware of the others hangups. Takeshi knows Ruriko doesn’t trust easily, and he tries to be overtly courteous to let her know where is at all time and assuage her concerns about him. 

Ruriko in turn recognizes Takeshi’s hang-ups on killing, and while initially it is partially due to not viewing him as reliable in combat, there are times where it comes across as genuine concern. She is also aware of Takeshi having issues with A, concerns over his bodily autonomy after the whole turned into a monster thing and B general social awkwardness so she also tries to be as clear as possible for what the boundaries are with them.

 She is comfortable with his presence and wants him to know when she feels safe and that she is fine with him being near her.

The two are just clear about the boundaries between each other are and the reason I am tangenting about this is because of what she says after being devastated by her only other companion before Takeshi needs that context for why it hits the way it does to be enunciated here

“May I borrow your shoulder for a moment”

As she proceeds to sob into his shoulder over her ex-girlfriend friend

The next morning at a Anti-SHOCKER safehouse Ruriko is noticeably agitated as Takeshi sits calmly.

It serves as a nice mirror to the start of the movie where Ruriko is calm in the safehouse as Takeshi is shaking in horror at what he has become and his whole murder hands thing.

The normally stoic Ruriko, crushed by her friend’s death ends up snapping at a lot of relatively minor things, like lack of shower or change of clothes only really calming down once she is able to focus on something else  like programming and changing her clothes.

Here Ruriko ends up giving Takeshi more boundaries for their relationship. She mentions that Takeshi is oddly far away as she is changing under a blanket

Takeshi responds it would rude as she is changing and Ruriko states that she trusts him and wants him to be near and elaborating the only times she would be uncomfortable.

Their relationship makes me want to explode and just the fucking

I am going to sob if I think about their friendship

Ruriko begins writing her will and unfortunately my memories of this scene are blurry but I remember finding it cute. I believe she first mentions her brother here and how she is messing with the entirely unrelated Butterfly Aug’s code

As Ruriko and Takeshi prepare to sleep, she apologizes to him for how difficult she was to deal with that day

But that it was nice to have a day where she realized how loved she is

A feeling she always felt was distant in regards to her family

 The next day they go to face the SHOCKER sub-commander of K’s division

Ichiro Midorikawa, her brother.

When she arrives they discuss Ichiro’s plan to take everyone’s Prana and put them in the “Habitat Dimension” removing the corrupt human element but retaining their soul

It is also revealed that Ruriko did the programming for this plan when she was “Naive, and unaware of the world”

which like yeah she grew up in a fascist cult that tracks.

She does a merge thing where she attempts to do something that I am going to blunt.

I don’t know this word

I cannot find a definition

I don’t know what it is meant to do

It was meant to damage the program in some way but, her Prana was insufficient in comparison to Ichiro who has done nothing but build up Prana throughout the movie, and she collapses, as Takeshi helps her down gently as she stays unconscious for a little while and Ichiro converses with Hongo trying to figure out what his deal is and why is he is so devoted to his sister

“We share a bond based upon trust”

Ichiro initially plans to allow them to retreat but they both refuse

So he sics a certain SHOCKER Rider on them who proceeds to playfully chase them and challenges Takeshi to a duel

as this goes on Ruriko begins frantically preparing a program to deprogram the Rider

After the fight concludes she manages to apply it to the Rider, Ichimonji before he can kill her buddy and he is flooded with emotion as the brainwashing is broken

As Ichimonji cries she wordlessly gives him a red scarf

Ruriko prepares to return to Hongo and begins discussing what their next step is as she suddenly inhales sharply

And K.K. aug lets go of his invisibility and rips his knife from her back

While Ichimonji kills the shit out of K.K. Aug

Takeshi frantically crawls towards Ruriko and desperately tries to stop the bleeding with the scarf she gave him

She tells Hongo deliriously that she got sloppy, but despite that she is glad it was because she felt safe with someone. She then transfers her will and soul to Takeshi Hongo’s helmet

In her will she states to Hongo

That she fully expected to die within a few weeks after defecting from SHOCKER, but now she actually sees the possibility that they might be able to continue after this

She mostly talks about her time with SHOCKER, her family and how her father loved motorcycles. And she always saw pictures of him with this red scarf and Ichiro riding with him looking so content, and safe. She was always envious that she never got to know them like that. But with Takeshi, on his motorcycle she got that bond she wished for.

“I’m glad the scarf suited you, Hongo.”

It promptly cuts to a black screen with text saying, “PS. I hope I get to say that to your face.”

She also details the plan to defeat her brother but that is left offscreen for y’know audience experience.

Takeshi ends up slamming his helmet onto Ichiro’s head and forcing him to have a conversation with his sister.

In which they discuss the death of their mother, the human condition and just how tired they are. Ruriko asks him to stay with her here, as there is room for them and Takeshi to just continue and try and fix this mess.

Her brother decides instead to follow in the footsteps of SHOCKER’s founder as Ruriko pleads with her brother to stay.

At the start Ruriko bluntly states her expectation that the two of them will likely end up dead and dissolve

She is correct and by the end of the film Takeshi and Ruriko have both died.

With only their consciousness saved to the helmet

Ruriko is just

I genuinely don’t think I have the words to explain how happy that character being given the reimagining she deserved made me.

Yo yo, what's up fam? It's ya boy, Victor Frankenstein, live and direct from my lab, where I'm about to flex my mad skills and show you how I'm about to create life, all on my own!

First things first, let me give you a quick tour of my setup. Got my Bunsen burner lit up, got my test tubes poppin', got my electrodes sparking, and you know I gotta have my beats bumpin' in the background, cuz I gotta get in that zone, ya dig?

Now, let's talk about the real reason why we're here. I'm about to unleash my latest creation, and trust me when I say, this ain't no basic B. This creature is gonna be next-level lit, and I'm the one who's gonna bring it to life, all thanks to my mad scientist skills.

I'm talking about using some serious biotech swag to piece together body parts and organs, and then using some dope-a** lightning bolts to shock it all to life, ya feel me? This creature is gonna be the baddest dude on the block, and he's gonna be straight-up grateful to me for giving him this gift of life.

So if you're ready to witness some major-league sorcery, then keep it locked on this livestream, cuz I'm about to drop some serious heat. And when this creature is finally up and running, you better believe he's gonna be hella lit, all thanks to yours truly, the one and only Victor Frankenstein, in the building!

Yo, hold up, hold up. Looks like my boy Henry just stepped into the lab, and he's looking kinda stressed out. What's good, my dude?

"Victor, what the hell are you doing? You've been in here for days, subsisting solely on ramen noodles and caffeine. That's not healthy, man. You need to take a break and eat something real."

Yo, chill, Henry. I'm just trying to get this creature up and running, you feel me? I can't afford to take a break right now.

"But you can afford to give yourself a heart attack? Come on, Victor, you're better than this. You need to take care of yourself if you want to create something amazing. And besides, your breath smells like garlic and soy sauce."

Okay, okay, I hear you. Maybe I have been neglecting my health a little bit. But you gotta admit, this ramen is fire, right?

"Yeah, I'll admit that. But it's not exactly a balanced meal. Look, I'll order us some real food. We can take a break, eat some veggies, and then get back to work, okay?"

Aight, fine. You win, Henry. But only if you get us some sushi. And make sure it's the good stuff, none of that supermarket crap.

"Deal. Now let's go before you collapse from malnutrition."

Haha, you got jokes, Henry. Alright, let's bounce. But don't worry, I'll be back soon, and this creature is gonna be straight-up legendary, you hear me?

...

What's up, people? This is Henry, coming at you live from Victor's lab. As you can see, my boy Victor is knocked out cold face-first in his sushi, probably from sheer exhaustion.

I tried to get him to go to sleep earlier, but he was too stubborn for his own good. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and end this livestream for him. The last thing he needs right now is to be broadcasting his sleep-deprived ramblings to the world.

But don't worry, folks. Victor will be back soon, and he'll be fully rested and ready to show off his latest creation. And trust me, it's gonna be something special.

Until then, take care of yourselves, and remember to get enough sleep. It's important for both your physical and mental well-being. This is Henry Clerval, signing off.

hi i gotta know abt ur matt thoughts. i am so down to hear anyone's matt thoughts any time

thank you for asking anon i love matt i love talking about matt heis so fucking goofy. heres a complimentary doodle before the headcanon dump

obligatory queer hc list . asexual, aromantic... considers himself above human concepts of gender. also as an extra thing hes intersex lawl

externally resembles a mishmash of a human and some bird-characteristics but internally is kind of erm. gross? doesnt have quite as many organs as hes supposed to yknow. less bones than the average person. darker blood than youre meant to have. nobody can figure out exactly what the hell is goin on w him because whenever anyone asks he just says something akin to "wouldnt you like to know, weatherboy"

doesnt have parents. like at all. just popped into existence one day fully formed. have you ever seen a star be born? its like that. hes a star. marvel at his being.

npd swag (everyone loves him :.-}!)

smokes HELLA weed. used to being lectured for it since he doesn't even bother to step outside 99% of the time

TERRIBLE at dancing. likes to do it when hes alone but refuses to do it in front of anyone else cus hes not risking the blow to his ego that is people pointing out that he dances like every white boy ever

despite oscars claims that he stifles his immense sexual appeal, the two actually start hanging out a decent bit after 3s ending. this is definitely because i think theyd have a lot of comedic chemistry and NOT me being biased for random minor characters being besties (lie)

listens to a lot of tv girl, car seat headrest, dazey and the scouts... fuckin virgin (joke at my own expense mostly)

"wow this place is a freakshow. i literally dont respect any of you"

urghhhh ive probably said a million other words abt him at some point but these are myy favorite thoughts of him

[riftwalker-limbro]

well i hopped ingame to just. VERY QUICKLY DOUBLE CHECK baby kelth's look because apparently that's just Out There for Everyone to See. so might as well snap a quick shot to put here too.

this is the nerd. they're paler than a sheet of printer paper because they hail from a long line of nerds and the only light their skin sees is from a computer monitor.

i really liked the full face of void scarring and they've always had it but i'm not quite sure lore-wise why yet. i'll figure it out. it's probably related to the Hella Pale eyes.

swag wise they're currently in a Manduka set bc it's the best-looking (imo) that i could get with plat immediately. (it's also because the sleeves reminded me of limbo and i mean. see the name of this blog) (also the feet have claws and i dare you to try tell me you wouldn't wear that shit on a heartbeat if you're 17, in charge of your own money, and laid eyes on that)

in canon they've got a cane to get around because a sweet 1000 year cryosleep nap has some side effects. they get exhausted very fast, can't seem to build up stamina, and things start hurting if they push themself, so they'd rather not. also canes are badass (and the first one i find that i like on an antiques flea market i am fucking buying)

and i might as well throw their drifter self in here too While I'm Here.

@ DE please make it easier to sync colours like eye and skin and whatever across operator & drifter because god. also physical features presets. how am i supposed to design other people like this. untenable

anyway this is them. you've seen the back of their head plenty recently so here's the front. they have received No attention in my lore rotation on here yet so Apologies but i'm not gonna start in the middle of exam time.

currently in standard drifter swag. do not perceive them
