In honor of Sonic x Shadow Generations, the Knuckles series being announced, and of course me adding a Chao figurine to my Sonic shrine :)

[thewitchoftheweed]

Hi! I've been wanting to send you these alone with the questions in the previous ask, but it was taking too long, so!

First! A page of your Ratau from Red Star!

My first depiction of him, I added the stick just for it. Anxious fellow but still hopeful if a bit by the light in his eyes. Maybe a younger version of him.

My second depiction! I made some adjustments, especially to the rope and feet because I thought it was too fat and realized that perhaps rats have five fingers. I made him a pinned cloak with the pin right above where his heart is because I forgot how you described him in the fic at first and I wanted to make a pun on how he was sacrificed by being stabbed through the heart, as you can see in the small doodle of him above looking so done 😂 this was inspired by @stychu-stych cokic idea of how Lamb's fleece was formed from their blood. You could count this as his formal look for when he needs to look fancy. I made his getup under the cloak more rouge-like because some people theorised that Ratau is a stealth main.

Second depiction being more biblically correct lore wise! Gave him a lamp and a more sheepish expression compare to his more worried look from the previous one. Could be his alternative look. I added his older, more current look at the above.

Ratau's expression! A godly raging one, see his eyes bleed ichor and scleras turn black from it, with slitted pupils. Smug Ratau on the right, winning in a Knucklebones game. Sad Ratau on the middle left, mourning something silently (loss of family?) Peaceful Ratau smiling in contentment, something that's never going to exactly happen any time soon given the people in his life. Happy Ratau in relief, when he sees the joy in his life. Last right one of Scared Ratau (in general, or in the fave of lost favor?) Also added a sketch of young Ratau being hunted by cultists, it won't be a successful escape...

Will send the next page to you later

Aaah, I love this! Whenever I imagined Ratau I kept picturing him in the style of NIMH and these illustrations remind me of that.

I really enjoyed writing Ratau and I love how you've drawn him in all these iterations. The idea with the cloak pin is really clever; I like the idea of him highlighting where he was sacrificed/how he became the vessel.

All of the expressions are great, though I think my favorites are when he's happy/content/a little smug. After all he's been through he deserves it.

Thanks so much for sending these; I'll take a look at the next page!

Here are some fun and important and fun things to know about Krow Jones from the Radiant Souls AU!

Krow is 18 years old, almost 19, during the events of the movie. His birthday is in early November and he meets Yukito in December, so both he and Yukito are 19 when they meet.

He is transmasc. While AFAB, sometime within his youth he decided he didn't feel like a girl and didn't want to be one. He started HRT when he was 14 and had top surgery when he was 17.

Krow is bisexual and attracted to many genders and species. But he does not know this until after he settles down in the present timeline and has time to think about things like that. Due to growing up surrounded by mutants and Yōkai, he doesn't find being attracted to non-humans weird in the slightest, and is in fact surprised when many humans say they aren't.

Personality-wise, Krow is compassionate, sweet, and endearingly sincere. He is serious when under stress, but when he relaxes he is quite goofy and playful. He is curious, loyal, and courageous. But he can be blunt and sarcastic. He has a temper and is prone to jealousy and wanting revenge. Though he tries to be fair, due to his high expectations of others he can sometimes be overly critical and hypocritical. But he always has his heart in the right place and tries his best to exert self-control, keep his flaws in-check, and maintain an air of maturity.

When he comes across new words or things he doesn't know, he tends to misremember or mispronounce the names in funny ways without meaning to. In roleplay, he's mispronounced charcuterie as "shark-cooch-tarry" or called the Guggenheim Museum as the "Google High".

While not knowledgeable about many things since he didn't have much of a formal education, he's clever and street-smart. He knows how to improvise and strategize, and he is good at solving puzzles. He's not great with comebacks most of the time, but he does like wordplay and puns. (He usually appreciates Ace's (Leo's) humor when no one else does.)

He is an extremely bad liar. So much so that it's painful to watch him lie. This is usually pretty humorous since he tends to behave anxiously whenever he lies and becomes a ball of sweat.

He is vulnerable in some ways. He wouldn't knowingly and willingly give information to an enemy or anything, and he doesn't purposely rat people out since he's very loyal to his family/friends/causes. But he's easily manipulated and his emotions are easily toyed with.

He is easily embarrassed or flustered in social situations. When he blushes, the tips of his ears go red and it soon spreads to his whole face. It is adorable.

Krow is very easy to tease. Because he never had a sibling growing up, he never quite caught onto the strategy of "don't give someone who's annoying you a reaction". He tends to react to everything and doesn't ignore those who annoy him. Characters who like to tease have a lot of fun around him.

More under cut!

The mask he wears was originally his mother's mask. After she died and he entered the war, it was modified for his use in battle by Jett (Donnie).

Jett wanted to make sure that Krow was going to be as protected as possible, so the tech inside the mask is meant to help him out as much as it can. It can do things like calculate trajectories and timing for him, so it's best for him to have his mask on while in battle or swinging with his grappling hook.

Krow wears his heart on his sleeve and has ever since he was little. He's very expressive; his facial expressions and tone of voice give away everything that he's feeling, and he has a lot of trouble with hiding it.

The Future turtles were concerned about Krow being so vulnerable, so when his mother died they encouraged him to keep and wear the mask when he feels scared, anxious, or sad. The mask acts as a security blanket for him and he hides his negative emotions with it. If he has it on him when he is feeling bad and wants to hide, he flips it down. He literally masks up to emotionally mask.

When Krow was young he was given various age-appropriate tasks to help around at the Base. Due to the large amount of things that needed to be done, he has broad skills and knowledge. He sort of became a jack-of-all-trades kid. As an older teen he's fairly self-sufficient and knows how to clean, cook, fix things, give first aid, and care for others.

Krow started training to fight when he was about 8 years old, some time after his mom died. Master Ace (Leo) thought it would be good for him and might also help him emotionally. Krow started out with basic Lou Jitsu-style martial arts. He was not allowed to use a bladed weapon until he was 12 and until that age was trained exclusively with wooden sticks, staffs, or any non-lethal blunt object.

Krow had a specific job in the war as a scout, messenger, and courier. It was his job to scout out areas and communicate with the Base and the other Resistance soldiers about what was going on so they could better strategize. He knows how to identify different types of Krang exosuits and ships from a distance and is good at investigation and patrolling. He was also often sent on missions to send messages or retrieve/deliver objects that were too important for regular drones to take care of. (Drones were often easily shot down or seized by the Krang whereas a person had a higher chance of success.) Later on in the war when the Resistance's numbers dwindled and he was older, Krow's role became less specialized and he was also fighting on the front lines a lot as a regular soldier.

He is farsighted. He can see things from a distance really well which was great for his job in the war, but he has trouble with seeing things up close. He needs reading glasses. No one noticed this because the majority of the reading Krow needed to do was mission notes and messages within his mask, so others couldn't really see him squinting. He also learned that he can read better up close if he relaxes his eyes/goes cross-eyed for a moment then refocuses.

Krow, like a crow, is a scavenger and loves to pick up random objects off the ground that catch his eye. He's drawn to things that are colorful and shiny - cool rocks, flowers, glass shards, coins, trash, trinkets, anything really. (This guy would go ham in a gift shop, do not bring him into one unless you're willing to spend hours in there.) When not on duty, he fills his pockets and bag with the things he finds. He amasses collections of things that he likes and stashes them away in secret spots.

Little things bring him a lot of joy and he tends to assume it brings other people the same amount of joy. Because of this, if he likes someone then he is going to give them the random things he finds as gifts, regardless of whether or not they actually want these things. Gift-giving is one of his expressions of love. The better he knows someone the more thoughtful he might be about it - for example, he might give someone things that are their favorite color.

He always wants to feel helpful in some way and feels anxious when he can't help. He tends to serve others before himself and act as support. If he can't do much, you'll often find him doing menial tasks or manual labor. This makes him a wonderful carer when people around him are ill or injured. He's also great at getting chores done.

He is certainly his mother's son: he has so much undiagnosed ADHD. It's just expressed differently than his mother. He's not spontaneously loud and brash like her, but he certainly cannot sit still for long periods of time and always needs to be on the move. He's often pacing around or fidgeting, and he's very expressive with his hand motions and gestures. He's also quite mentally restless, especially when stressed, and tends to overthink.

Because of his restlessness and curiosity, some of his favorite things to do are simply wandering around and people watching. This makes daily life in present-day NYC immensely interesting to him. He doesn't like crowds so he'll often be on the top of buildings and watch activities from afar. This behavior leads into his life as a vigilante slightly later on, as he tends to catch a lot of crime when he's watching from up high. He's like a heroic crow carefully watching the scene before swooping in to help others and swiftly deliver justice.

Krow is highly adaptable, so given time he learns and adjusts fairly well to life in the present timeline. He is, however, an older teen who wants to be independent and does not want to feel like a burden, so he's itching to figure out how to make it on his own. He's past high school age and has no interest in school, nor is he confident that he could do well in it. A year or so after he's been in the present, he starts to look for jobs and apartments.

Present Jett forged documents for Krow so he could get a job, and Present Angel (April) helped him with other job things like interviews. Krow's first few jobs were in things like retail and fast food, which he could not stand and wouldn't be at them for very long. He's not socialized to believe the customer (or boss) is always right. He can be quite blunt or have a temper and speaks his mind about what he believes is right, so he's very fire-able despite any other good work he does.

Krow eventually lands a day job that he tolerates and comes to enjoy, which is being an ice technician and groundskeeper for a local ice rink. It's there that he learns that he loves ice skating and ice hockey, because he often watches games and competitions. (It's a little funny that he has to work in slightly chilly conditions considering he hates the cold, so he's often bundled up for work.)

By the time he is in his late 20s to 30s, he's far more emotionally/mentally stable and has matured. He seems to have mellowed out a lot, and he channels a lot of his anger and any resentment into his fighting and vigilante work. He kind of leans more into being edgy when he's older because he uses this edgy persona to be intimidating. (And he is still a bit edgy on the inside.) But he's still the same lovable dork too.

I could probably go on and on about this guy but I'll stop here for everyone's sake. But there ya go! Lots of info about him.

Playground Life Games

I love the idea of Limited Life being a big game on a playground with school children. Not based on anything specific, just little bits i thought would be cute

***

Grian glances at the watch on his wrist. It’s Spiderman-themed, which is really cool, but not the most important part. The watch’s time display is the most important thing about the watch on his wrist.

3 hours from now, at 9pm, Grian and the rest of them had to go back to their houses. Curfews were so dumb, Grian thought, but his mum would kiII him if he was home late, so he didn’t argue much.

“Okay!��� He shouts to his circle of friends. It quickly gets all of their attention. “Everybody’s watches set?” He checks.

It’s a few moments of everyone checking their watches, before Jimmy pipes up. “I don’t know how to set mine!” He whines. Groans come from the group.

Tango, standing next to Jimmy, grabs his wrist and tinkers with it for a moment before exclaiming, “Done! We’re ready, G-man!”

Grian nods seriously, glancing around the circle. “The boogeyman will be randomly chosen by whoever finds the piece of paper I’ve hidden first. When you’re the boogey-“ He’s unceremoniously cut off by Pearl shouting, “We know about the boogeyman! Can we go play now?” She asks.

To his utter shock and surprise, everyone else starts nodding and agreeing with Pearl.

Grian pouts, “Fine! Go!” He yells, throwing his hands up in the air. Everyone scatters like rats.

***

“Oh, Lizzie,” Joel sighs the girl’s name dreamily. He clutches his chest, leaning against the metal leg of the playground jungle gym the Bad Boys have claimed as their base.

Grian rolls his eyes, flicking the boy on his arm. “Lizzie,” He mocks the dreamy tone, high pitched, “thinks you’re lame.” He says. Joel glares at him, flicking Grian right back on the forehead.

Poor, oblivious Jimmy looks between his two teammates, utterly confused. “What about my sister?” He asks.

“Lizzie? Oh, I love Lizzie!” Scar interrupts their conversation. Grian really should stop rolling his eyes, or he really will get them ‘stuck like that,’ like his mum says.

But he can’t help it, not when Joel glares so hard at Scar that it’s shocking that Scar doesn’t light on fire and explode in front of them.

***

“They want to be known as the Mean Gills?” Jimmy says, again in his, seemingly, default state of utter confusion.

Cleo laughs loudly, “Mean Girls?” She asks, curious amusement on her face.

“No, no, Mean Gills!” Martyn chimes in, walking over. “A very clever pun, if I do say so myself.” He says, self-satisfied.

“It’s your team name, then?” Cleo asks, “Like, Jimmy’s whole ‘Bad Boys’ thing.” She snorts.

Jimmy makes an affronted sound. “I am the bad boy of the playground!” He says insistingly. Cleo laughs, verging on cackles, and hunches over as she puts her hands on her knees to support herself.

“Aww,” She giggles, wiping an imaginary tear from her eye, “Aww, of course you are, Jim.” She says, nodding patronizingly.

***

“Why can’t Ren play with us?” BigB pouts. He’s been asking that for the past two hours they’ve been playing. Grian hands him a stick, which they’re gathering for weapons.

“Because, BigB,” Grian starts, exasperated from having to explain this again, “Ren is at summer-camp all summer. It’s for werewolves or something.” Grian explains, crossing his arms.

“I miss him.” BigB frowns.

“You were literally cheating on him with me last summer. We were secret soulmates and you want to go back to your other soulmate?” Grian squints at him, almost offended.

BigB is silent. Grian throws his hands up in the air and walks away.

***

It has to be the hottest day of the summer. Scar fans himself uselessly with his hand. He starts to pull off his shirt.

Cleo turns around from where she was organizing their lunchboxes-turned-chests. The shirt is halfway pulled off as she shouts, “Scar!”

“What?” He asks.

“Keep your shirt on!” Cleo says loudly. In the distance, Scar hears Bdubs laugh from their farm. He sighs, pulling the shirt back on.

“Okay mom!” Scar chirps, just because he knows it annoys her and the heat is putting him in a gremlin, mischievous mood. Cleo groans, glaring at him as she heads off toward Bdubs at the farm.

Jokes on her, Bdubs thinks calling Cleo ‘mom’ is even funnier than Scar does!

[shmowder]

I have a very important Patho character question which characters do you think would have a cat? If they could? Personally I think of one character who strikes me as a cat person for sure but that’s probably like the most obvious candidate for that

Ah yes the most obvious candidate

the candidate that is the most likely to be a cat person

The Pathologic character candidate

Of course I know them duh. It's so obvious I don't even need to name them

Anyway here's the tierlist.

I debated whether Dankovsky would be a cat or dog person, I settled on dog because he likes having control. But I don't see him as a pet person at all. He prefers observing animals and reading about them, not interacting with them. Dogs he can stand if they behave, but he absolutely won't entertain someone's cat or bird if he was a guest at their house.

Anna wouldn't want any pets but if she could stand an animal, a cat would be the best choice sine they tend to be the cleanest.

I like the Idea of Rubin taking care of a kitten and raising it into a cute cuddly cat that brightens his day. That man deserves happiness.

I also like the idea of him and Artemy being so big and scary yet end up having cats as pets. Artemy's cat could either be a stray that adopts itself into his life or a cat that Isidor used to take care of and now it follows Artemy.

Aglaya would like dogs for their loyalty rather than the need to control them, she'd still admire cats for their freedom and cleverness.

Yulia desperately wants a cat but I think she is scared deep down of getting too attached to it, especially with no veterinarian in town and how devastated she'd be if her cat passes away. So she skips on the whole ordeal. She pspspsps at strays when no one is looking tho, shares some of her food with them.

Alexander Saburov seems the type to have a childhood dog he grew very attached to. He doesn't fully understand cats and doesn't like that they can't be trained but he'd still do his best to take care of one if it became his pet.

I think it's very ironic how much Khan resembles an indoor domestic spoiled cat personality wise yet he is the leader of the dogheads. My theory is that he tried petting a cat one and it scratched him and he held a grudge ever since so he always claims that dogs are better.

Maria would get a black cat thinking it will help her appear more fearsome in the town people's eyes, only for the cat to end up being the most loving adorable ball of pure abyss. She would kill for her cat and keeps it protected safe inside her room, she plays with the cat and showers it in compliments and kisses after locking the door to make sure no one walks in on her showing her soft side. If this was the modern world, Maria would have so many pictures of her adorable black fluffball playing with her expensive pearl necklace or rolling around her priceless silky sheets.

Notkin already has a cat, even tho he himself has the personality of a loyal dog. Cats scratching him didn't deter him but made him learn to respect animal boundaries.

Mark Immortell's cat is the incarnation of a hell cat, the most evil sinister and annoying thing that will slap you with its paws for giving it any non luxury brand cat food. They're two sides of the same coin and only he and his cat understand each other.

Katerina's position is a pun. Yk cats eat mice and the rat prophet and all, so she never wants a cat around.

Sticky seems like he'd take care of strays because he sees himself in them. He understands cats better than anyone, he too hates being disturbed and likes spending time alone. And he is also endlessly curious. He takes it upon himself to feed Murky and give her candy at the start of the game just when she starts frequenting the haruspex lair.

Murky learned from him, she probably used to leave cats bowls of milk before Sticky informed her it's actually bad for them and they can't have milk.

-

If it wasn't limited to cats, a bird would suit Eva much more because they thrive under attention and require so much love and care. Owning a bird, let alone an exotic one like a parrot is almost a full time job.

Artemy has his bull pet in canon, I think Oyun used to have one too. It would be adorable if Murky just led a baby calf home once because she found it alone outside and Artemy just accepted it as a new part of the family.

The Kains do already have pets, the human kind. Aka the Stamatins. But if they absolutely had to pick a different one, I see the Judge maintaining a pristine aquarium for the most beautiful fish you've ever seen. It takes dedication, time, knowledge and lots of money. The fish might end up as the family pet as every person chips in every once in a while, Victor fixing the water filter etc.

The Stamatins themselves would probably keep lizards, maybe even snakes. I don't think they know how to take care of pets or even want to learn. However I do see them sharing custody over a pet rabbit when they were just kids. It drove Peter crazy because it kept eating his canvasses. So Andrey took it with him outside most of the time. It ended up getting picked off by a hawk. The two brothers spent the remainder of the week setting up a trap to kill the hawk and avenge their pet.

Princessa ( a Luisa drabble)

“OOH that slit goes high!” Isabella declared in a mock scandalized tone. As Dolores squeaked and blushed, flashing her leg out from one of Elena’s lounge dresses a few inches too short on the bottom. Enjoying the tinkling sound of crystal beads colliding only audible to her. As the excited sounds of Mirabel’s voice echoed from the closet into the cave-like antechamber of Bruno and Elena’s bedroom.

Elena giggled from her place on the loveseat next to Luisa, as Mirabel brought a handful of dresses to lay on the bed. The trio cooed over the glamorous styles. Deciding which dress would fit whom, and who was going to go next. Of course, these styles are not ones any of the girls would ever wear in the Encanto. But a throwaway statement of the girls being welcome to borrow any dress had a very pregnant Elena nearly dragged to Bruno’s tower to play dress-up. Meanwhile, the seer decided to make himself scarce to ask Antonio how to mediate a serious conflict among the rats.

Luisa and Elena watched the happy proceedings as Mirabel disappeared behind the screen to try on a velvet green dress with faux pearls hanging on the shoulder. The dress she wore the first night Bruno saw her, and her life changed. Instinctively she brought her hand to her swollen belly, happy as can be. She would be unlikely to fit those dresses again, but it was more than a fair trade.

“Whoo!”, Elena exclaimed as she felt a kick. Luisa flinching at her side, immediately reacting with protective concern. Hands at the ready to help where no help could be given.

“It’s alright, I think their ears were burning. I was thinking about them.”

Then another kick gave her a start, and Luisa reflexively checked on Elena again. “Should I get Mom?”

“I’m fine Lu. I think the armistice is over. The twins are taking turns trading fire as wombmates”. The pun perhaps not hitting, as Luisa’s brown eyes didn’t drop a smidgen of concern after the joke.

“I’m really ok, I promise.”

“Sorry, I know it is normal it's just… you’re just so small”. Luisa trailed off almost apologetically, she had been reacting strongly to every kick all morning. Elena put a reassuring hand on her arm, as she leaned back to take pressure off her spine.

“No smaller than Alma was I have been told, and she had three. Besides we know for a fact everything will be ok”. Elena said gently waving to the glowing green tablet of her future family framed above the bed. A rectangle piece of emerald glass save for a small corner cut out to make their wedding rings. A promise for a future that was almost here.

Satisfied Luisa smiled, and they both looked back at the three girls. Mirabel was trying her signature dancing twirl, but the too-tight dress was not willing to accommodate. A clever seamstress, Mirabel on her own embroidered skirt dropped the waist to capture maximum twirl. Obviously glitz and glitter had downsides.

“I’m sorry I’m too short for you to wear my dresses,” Elena offered as she thought about the contents of her closet, and if anything could be used to help her share in this moment. But her mind was drawing a blank.

“It’s alright, I like my practical clothes.” Luisa countered, but Elena didn’t quite believe it.

Luisa’s room at the beginning portion functioned like a gym. A room full of weights and dumbbells that would make Hugo jealous. The balcony like entry, opening up to a beautiful vista of rocky mountains as strong and imposing as her exterior. But like Luisa, her true nature was hidden deeper. A childlike sweetness of a woman denied a proper childhood. Her bedroom full of soft fuzzy rugs, flower linens, family photos and drawings collected on the walls, sheer curtains hanging over her bed, and a pile of stuffed animals she was gifted over the years. Of all his daughters, and despite all appearances, Luisa was Agustin’s little princess.

‘Oh that’s it!’ Elena thought with excitement as she swung her legs up, using the momentum to vault her and her rotund belly forward out of the chair. The sudden motion caught Luisa at such a surprise, she didn’t have a chance to help the petite songbird stand before she was waddling like a petite penguin to her cavernous closet.

“Now it’s not ‘practical’ mind you,” Elena called loudly from the magical closet that was bigger on the inside. Before emerging with a green velvet box. “But I have something perfect for you.”

“When I was young I used to do birthday parties during the day, and lounge at night.” Elena said with a sheepish smile, As she opened the lid. "The dresses are gone, but I couldn’t get rid of this.” With a flourish, she revealed a shimmering costume princess crown. Delighted to see Luisa’s eyes widen at the treasure. “I am a little bit of a pack rat.” Elena said as she gently fixed the crown onto Luisa’s head, pulling her braid to cover the sides. “But perhaps that is why your uncle loves me?”, she joked.

“So beautiful,” Elena said stepping back to admire her lovely sobrina. “It’s yours if you want it.”

The quickness a teary-eyed Luisa stood to tower over Elena to envelope her in one of her signature bear hugs, did give Elena pause as to whether she would pop under that affection. But ever conscious of her strength, Luisa adjusted quickly and gently enfolded her tia in thanks. Before excitedly going to admire herself in the long mirror, the trio of girls chorusing “oohs and awws” as Luisa joined them.

With very little grace, Elena gingerly sat down to watch the proceedings. A tiny oof as she settled into place with a pillow shoved behind her spine.

“I wonder, do I have a little princess of my own?” Elena asked quietly, but a smiling glance from Dolores told her it was still heard.

A tiny kick came in response and Elena leaned back happily.

Who, or What, is a risuko?

Tagged by@candybagcj , transfemme Alan Wake. Alaina? Would that be Alaina?

Who were you named after?

Like most trans gals, i'm named after myself. i honestly didn't realize it would work out to be squirrel girl until it was far too late. i was just thinking i was being clever wiv bilingual numbers puns.

Last time you cried?

i don't remember, and this is honestly a bit of a problem for me. i kinda feel like it would be a healthier if i could just have a good, honest cry for once. Oh! Wait, i do remember! But it's not really a public consumption story, sorry.

Do you have kids?

No. Steps were taken. There are a few folx in my community young enough to be my kids, and i only hope i have been a positive parental-adjacent person in their lives. That's an honest hope, they're good kids (tho', i think the youngest of that lot is a whole-ass adult now. How time flies).

What sports do you play/did you play?

Zilch, nada, none. Not very sporty, me. i tried a couple when i was a real wee squirrel, but none of them really stuck. i do like biking around and walking, so i'm not completely inactive.

Do you use Sarcasm?

Not as much as i used to, honestly. i've made an effort to get out of the habit. Partly because it doesn't really track well in Japanese, and partly because i think Whedon-esque/mst3k-style 90's snark is a bane. i'm well tired of social masks, and happy to be quit of them (medical masks, tho', those are great).

First thing you notice about people?

Fashion and ink, how they hold their bodies. My aversion to looking at people's faces has only gotten worse as i've gotten older.

Do you have any talents?

i was a dab hand at embalming way back in the day, and i can still walk through all the steps in my head.

Scary Movies or Happy Endings?

Or, hear me out, scary movies wiv happy endings. i'm not against a total party wipe, and can appreciate them when they're done well. But i do like it when we can over come the metaphorical horrors, it happens so seldom in meatspace, you know? Also, i am morally obligated to mention here that the 1988 version of The Blob is one of the best movies ever, and is both scary and has a happy ending.

Where were you born?

i'm adopted, so i couldn't tell you wiv any real granularity. Blacksburg Virginia, US is as close as i can get you. Not a big city, tho', can't be that many hospitals. Unless i was born in a ditch. i'd honestly like it if i were a ditchwater baby.

What are your hobbies?

Creating in LittleBigPlanet (full series); wiv the official servers for 3 being down i've gone back to 1 & 2 to see how well i can do in those Create Modes; it's been fun. Trying to work up the courage to jailbreak my ps3 to get on the private servers, but fucking up my console or account isn't an expense i can really afford at the mo.

Do you have any pets?

i have a rat skeleton named Sydney who i rescued from a school i was demolishing (as part of a job, mind you. i didn't just rock up to some random school and start wailing away wiv a crowbar). i love her dearly, and have only fed her blood the couple of times.

How tall are you?

Oh! i just had a medical checkup, so i know this one; i am officially 178cm and some change.

What was your favourite subject in school?

Forensic Science in uni. We got to handle bones. i got to read through Spitz & Fisher's Medicolegal Investigation of Death. My prof had an entirely healthy fascination wiv kaiju (this was prior to coming to Japan, and in the 90's, so a bit more unusual than if i'd gone to school here).

Dream Job?

Embalming. Or at least something involving corpses. i get the dead way better than i get the living. And no corpse has ever called me fag (pejorative).

Who to tag, who to tag. Hrmm @soupum & @jacechaotic , but only to the extent you want to answer any of this, of course!

D20 - Dungeons and Drag Queens Ep 1 Notes

Hey @lurkerviolin,

My notes ran too long so I thought I’d post it as a text post 😅. I do realize some of these are incoherent, and lacking my usual amount of emojis but I typed it in my laptop instead of phone so...

Also I think i kept switching up all their pronouns cause I wasn’t sure which was the right one? 😅😅

Anyways here we go:

This theme song is already so chaotic lol

God still so strange to see Brennan all made up, but he looks great

It's so nice to see how the Queens are all so engaged. Brennan is radiating such incredible Storyteller energy right now, it's amazing.

Lololol oh no Monet! "We have someone who works in identity theft" lol

Jujubee is so entranced as Brennan is describing Everdeep. Mood.

Oh my gosh the Queens are so funny. The riffing about the gem's origins.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR WITCHES!

Hmm yeah she did talk to her own mother like that ...

The way it was written by Tuna Turner! I don't know how much the Dropout people asked the Queens to lean on puns but they are doing amazing. Bob especially is SO into it.

The growl from Alaska lol

Hmm, has Bob played before? They seem more accustomed to the game play.

Ok yeah I think Bob might be my favorite so far

Jujubee is a close second, they are so enthusiastic but so lost. It's endearing. "We went to Cher's last first concert to gether." lolol

Cause they're an inch from 5' feet lolololol oh my gooood.

These interjections are such a gift. They just make the story so much funnier

Lieutenant Alvin the chipmunk lol cute!!

Jujubee forcing Brennan to narrate as Alvin was such a Mood. Yes, make him work!

Zaria Hex: Beware her death drop *I snorted, oh my god, ingenious*

SHE ATE THE SEED LOLOLOLOL

"9.30" "Yeah, it's late for you Grandma" lol

Alaska's growling accent is an excellent character choice

Bob entering the bar and immediately describing what they are seeing, are we sure they are completely new to this?

Oh my god I love Kashra, look at that build!

Daggy is also really handsomely designed.

Makes sense for the two fighters to be able to down the drink no problem.

Aww two nat ones

"If your perception's a one, that means you are delusional" lol

Oh my god Jujubee is too cute, with how often they get confused.

A racotour is when you contour with a rat LOLOLOL

"Oh, he's a pimp"

This is a greatseason for newcomers to DnD. Brennan is such a good teacher

Bump is kinky! LOL

Gertrude is so clever. I love how quickly Bob and Monet understood the concept of the game.

A 24?! She is going to pulvarize him!

Lololol, just so you know when you turn 36 yourknees know when it's going to rain.

Idk who Michelle visage it, but I like how Jujubee says Brennan. Yeah he may be the DM guiding them in the adventure, but to them, he's also like a younger kid/brother-type.

I remember Raphaniel casting Detect thoughts in Ep 1 of the ravening war and just getting blasted with horny thoughts lol

"Twyla! Don't look around! Don't freak out!

Oooh Wallace... I like that idea, yeah his clasp is a different colour cause he's an undead pretending not to be. Solid guess.

Oh damn they went from initiative to beast assault. Zero to 60 indeed.

A Cat Tree??? So out of left field. God, you got to love first time players just doing the wildest moves.

Amazing Grapple. Like a To-Go container.

It's probbaly Swallace, drop the 'S', no one will know . LOLOL

This Mark Ronson gag is also so funny.

Cousin KK, incredible.

Ooh, Brennan is so good about tying far flung stories together.

Aww Jujubee really liking Brennan'sflowery descriptions! Cute.

I really like how Brenan incorporates all their random additions into his narrative. As a DM, really letting the players's additions become part of his world. It's very kind.

Lol, the caption for the guardian being "Stoned for days, Darling". All these taglines are so clever!

Oh my god, the camera jumping back and forth between Monet and Jujubee instead of Brennan as he is trying to do a play. Far more entertaining, good call Director/editor

Alaska's voice for Princess is so fitting and so funny.

"Just straight up the same one?" Judgey much, stone guy?

Brennan is so good with descriptions of what is happening.

OOOOH They look so into it in the next episode. This looks like a cool side quest, can't see what comes next.

[enkisstories]

A little later Vi Moradi passed by the napping couple. It took guts to sleep this soundly in roughly the middle of the enemy encampment even when you were currently under diplomatic immunity. That, or an overblown ego.

"So trusting, General? Or still not taking us seriously?"

"Well, in one regard you were correct: I'm not averse to spying in general. Or on Generals, pardon the pun."

"Too easy... Romantic attachment ruined many a good person. And apparently at least one evil person, too."

"Let's see now..."

It doesn't take Vi Moradi long to break the encryption on Hux' datapad. As expected, there is a file concerning the newly proclaimed Supreme Leader's future plans.

Steadfast to remain in orbit of Batuu... wait for Finalizer's arrival to leave planet... occupation squad to retreat from Kijimi...

"Interesting. So you had already planned this BEFORE you offered it to me. Clever rat."

All military operations, executions and interrogations halted... doesn't apply to secret service activity and responsive actions in case of getting attacked... mass-testing for m-count in the armed forces and on colonized worlds... and some more neat stuff that you'd love to learn, right, Moradi?

Wait, what was that last one she'd read?

So that was why the encryption had been so simple. Hux had WANTED her to read his files. Not just clever, but insolent rat!

But also a lying bastard? Or had the Supreme Leader left this document for her eyes, after their face to face talk had ended in a brawl earlier today?

[its-a-rat-trap]

my huge fixation on the rats has come back again so out of curiosity, what are some of your favorite tracks, and why?

Oh man sorry it took me so long to answer this! It ended up being harder than I thought to narrow down a list of my favorite songs but here’s (some) of my current faves at least!

Lookin’ After No. 1 - A bit of a cliched inclusion but it’s still (imo) the best example of their early punk/post-punk sound, and you can really hear how well Garry and Simon meshed with their playing. Plus I’m an utter sap and it makes me very emotional to think of Bob going from writing “Don’t give me love thy neighbor / Don’t give me charity” to. yknow. putting on the entirety of Live Aid. 

(Also don’t eVEN talk to me about the Music Machine gig, every time I think of Bob singing “Don’t wanna be like you / Don’t wanna live like you / Don’t wanna talk like you at all / I’m gonna be like me” in the face of the neo-nazi skinheads who just punched him in the face I go INSANE)

Joey’s On The Streets Again - Look I know that if we’re picking “Top songs Bob wrote about the Ireland of his childhood” then Rat Trap is understandably always gonna be at the top of the list but consider: Joey is just a better song, especially the last verse of it.

Also the Self Aid Joey performance? SO FUCKING GOOD genuinely my favorite live performance of this song that they’ve ever done

Wind Chill Factor Minus Zero - The lyrics just do it for me. I feel like a lot of people don’t think of Bob Geldof as a great lyricist but he really is and this song is just full of little clever lines like “You start to laugh (No) / You say you’ve won (No) / It’s just I lost (No) / That’s not the same (No)” that just make it SO satisfying to sing!

Also gotta put a shout out to “Real Different” for the same reason, every time I hear Bob sing “I'll fill my pocket full of stones and I'll throw 'em at the light” I just go feral asldkfjals

The Elephant’s Graveyard - You know that quote about (I Never Loved) Eva Braun that describes the song as something like the happiest most upbeat song about Hitler you’ll ever hear? The Elephant’s Graveyard is exactly like that but for police brutality and the Rats fucking made it work. 

Obviously if we’re talking about social justice themes in their songs Mondays and Banana Republic are gonna top the list but listen. Listen. Bob wrote a song specifically about anti-black police brutality in Florida that calls out the double-standards of the US justice system (“Justice isn’t blind / It just looks the other way”), made the campiest beach-themed music video for it, and somehow they completely nailed the combination. 

House on Fire - IT’S JUST A FUCKING BANGER OF A SONG! Seriously between the brass instruments and Bob’s voice it’s just such a fun and funky song, and it’s a great example of the Rats playing around with their sound in their later albums in a way that just works perfectly for them. 

Also it has more good mouth-feel lyrics in it, like the line “Doing halo hula-hoops, executing loop-de-loops / Takes a lot of skill and bad taste” is just sooo satisfying to sing !!!

Trash Glam Baby - Obligatory COB inclusion alksdjfklas I almost went with She Said No instead but they really nailed that old-school rock sound with Trash Glam Baby and I absolutely adore it. I love the little references at the start of the song, I love the reprise at the end, the video absolutely fucks, this was everything I needed from 21st Century Rats and more!

Do The Rat / D.U.N. L.A.O.G.H.A.I.R.E. - Because I couldn’t pick just one, special shout-out to both Do The Rat and D.U.N. L.A.O.G.H.A.I.R.E. for being fantastic b-side tracks! I love that Bob and the rest of the band were having fun fooling around with their releases like this. I love all the puns in Do The Rat, and the little convo at the start of D.U.N. L.A.O.G.H.A.I.R.E. both makes me laugh and makes me a little emotional now that Garry’s gone.

summary: after taking etiquette classes, sirius confesses his feelings for you in shakespearean.

w/c: 1.6k

notes: friends to lovers, fluff + jealous! emotionally incompetent!sirius, name puns, one swear?

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

“your parents sent you to etiquette lessons?” james scoffed, leaning back in his seat. you and the other four marauders were once again riding the hogwarts express towards an exciting sixth year. as usual, your shared compartment was full of chatter. you and sirius took one side of the benched seats with james, remus, and peter in front of you.

“aye, mine own moth’r bethought i wast out of controleth,” sirius said straightfaced.

peter snorted. “you can’t be serious.”

“what art thee claiming? i am, at each moment-”

“you’re always sirius. yes, that was a clever one, good sir,” you finished, struggling to hide the mortifyingly huge grin that threatened to escape every time sirius was around.

it had been months since you’d seen him, which felt unfair, because james got to see him every day. and the four of them would always gather during the full moon to help remus with his transformations and you didn’t have an animagus form that would allow you to join.

“mine own loveth, thou art the only one who is’t und’rstands me,” sirius swooned, placing a hand around your shoulders and pulling you into his side.

you blushed and averted your eyes, an action which did not go unnoticed by the ever-perceptive remus lupin. 

“what are you on, pads?” james shook his head, amused. “c’mon, we all know you’re not being seri- for real.”

sirius sighed. “fine, i concede. i have no clue what that rat-faced bastard—sorry, wormtail—was talking about. it was mostly stuff like memorizing the ‘lineage of the noble house of black,’” sirius raised his voice mockingly, “and ‘gentlemanly manners for a young pureblood bachelor like yourself.’”

“you? a bachelor? do they know that you’re in a very loving, committed relationship?” you joked, poking his side which was like a jab to your own stomach.

“oh yes, they knoweth much about mine own womanizing ways,” sirius muttered sarcastically. what you, nor james or peter knew was that sirius hadn’t so much as talked to a girl in months (with the exception of family, but they were more like demon-spawn than human women). it wasn’t that he didn’t have the opportunity to—oh merlin, not at all; women were throwing themselves at his feet—but because he had no interest anymore.

remus cleared his throat. “and wouldst thee liketh to speak of courting such maidens in particular?” he raised his eyebrows at sirius. i’m giving you an opening.

“uh- sorry, i didn’t understand you,” sirius lied.

“won’t you tell us about your summer escapades?” remus rolled his eyes, knowing that sirius was going to chicken out of admitting his feelings towards you once more.

“there’s nothing to tell,” sirius said truthfully.

“oooh, pads doesn’t kiss and tell,” you smirked, nuzzling closer to him. “don’t worry, you can trust me. i’m good at keeping secrets,” you whispered into his ear seductively. shit, was that too far?

“cheeky girl!” sirius squished your nose teasingly, perhaps to hide the flush creeping up his neck and the new goosebumps littering his arms at your proximity and words. “trust me, if i had any romantic endeavors worth sharing, you’d be the first to know.”

remus wanted to bash sirius’ head in. he glared at sirius. you big fucking liar!

leave me alone! i’ll tell her! …someday!

you’ve been saying that for the past two years, romeo! maybe you should’ve paid more attention in your bachelor training lesson or whatnot, because you clearly have no idea what you’re doing!

“y’guys okay?” james narrowed his eyes at the intense silent exchange between remus and sirius. peter waved his hand in front of remus’ face.

“yes! totally fine,” sirius blurted loudly and unexpectedly, “terrific, actually! super good.”

you looked at him oddly, but your thoughts were interrupted by peter suddenly announcing his dire need for the bathroom (the poor boy always got motion sick) and the knock of the trolley witch on the compartment window.

“treats!” james exclaimed, jumping out of his seat immediately. you laughed and looped your arm around his on his way out the door, and he dragged you into the corridor.

sirius watched the two of you longingly, jealous of the way james would tousle your hair and the way you’d pretend to get upset with that stupid, adorable huff. he scowled when you’d push james’ glasses up his nose for him with such casual affection and how he’d pinch your cheek teasingly only to be rewarded with one of those brilliant smiles sirius wished could be for him. he glared when your hands brushed as you both reached for trolley treats, and when-

remus’ voice snapped sirius out of his daze.

“alright, i’m putting an end to this,” remus declared, slamming his fist into his open palm decisively. “if you don’t confess before we arrive at the castle, i am not letting you off this train.”

sirius looked at remus incredulously. “you can’t do that.”

“who says i can’t? i’ve gotten pretty good at the full-body bind curse, if i do say so myself. would you like to be my first test subject?” remus reached for his wand threateningly.

“right! okay, i’ll do it. i’ll try.” sirius was silent for a beat. “…how exactly would one go about doing that?”

the compartment door slid open and you and james breezed through with snack-laden hands. you practically jumped onto sirius’ lap, cozying up to his chest like you hadn’t been making his heart palpitate. you scrounged through your pile and held up a caldron cake for sirius triumphantly.

“for you!” you beamed, twisting your torso to stare up at him with such delight that the boy wanted to melt into the velvet cushion lining.

“t-thank you!” he stammered, unusually nervous. “that’s sweet. i mean, you’re sweet. you didn’t have to buy me anything, though. i’m not that hungry. but thanks.”

your face fell momentarily. “oh, sorry then. you don’t have to eat it, of course. no pressure.”

“no- no, i’ll eat it! it’s a gift from you. i- thank you.”

as you opened a chocolate frog box, lupin mouthed at sirius you’ve said that three times already.

sirius pinched the bridge of his nose. merlin save me, this is going to be the worst train ride of my life. he peeked out the window and to his horror, saw the thick forest that indicated the castle was less than 20 minutes away.

you munched on a leg of your chocolate frog contentedly, pressing yourself closer to sirius’ chest. as much as he loved the way his head nestled perfectly into the crook of your shoulder and the smell of your shampoo and the soft, sweet breaths that occasionally tickled his face, he hated how obviously his body was responding to your touch. he was genuinely surprised that you hadn’t picked up on his furious heartbeat.

“dove, can i talk to your for a second?” he murmured into your ear, looking straight at the carpet and refusing to make eye contact with anyone.

you looked confused but agreed. he never felt like he deserved someone like you, who was so easily trusting and loyal to someone like him.

the trolley witch had long finished her rounds at your corridor when sirius pulled you outside your compartment.

“siri, is everything okay?”

sirius’ hand snuck beneath his hair and scratched the back of his neck. “yeah, yeah. nothing’s wrong, necessarily, it’s just that i- er,”

you quirked your head stepping closer to him. sirius took a step back nervously.

“hey, you know i mean it when i say you can tell me anything, right? i’m not just joking in front of the other boys, i- i mean it with you.” you paused and then smiled slyly. “perhaps you could say that i’m sirius about it.”

sirius chuckled, looking to the side—anywhere but your face, really. you extended a hand, rising onto your toes to coax his gaze back at you. somehow, you’d ended up with sirius’ back pressed against the corridor wall, with you “boxing” him in. well, if boxing in was more like you standing in front of him as he metaphorically shrunk under your gaze.

“oh fuck it, i’ve just gotta- ilikeyou.”

“you need the loo? i’m sure peter should be done any moment now, you-”

sirius groaned, combing his fingers through his hair in frustration. “no, i’m- bloody hell, i like you. i like you… non-platonically. as in, i’m really in love with you and i can’t think straight so words are just falling out of my mouth right now and i’m sorry,” he gasped, catching his breath.

you stared at him with your mouth open. sirius winced at your wordlessness.

“so…?”

“thee liketh me? thee… loveth me?”

“um… thou art c’rrect.”

you blinked at him a few times before bursting into giggles, slapping your hand over your mouth to muffle them. sirius looked hurt.

“no- siri, i’m so sorry. i- i loveth thee too! i just hadn’t expected; well, i had made this big plan with lily to… bid thee how i hath felt the first week we did get backeth, but thee did beat me, i supposeth.”

sirius squinted his eyes at you in disbelief. “you are so annoying! i can’t believeth i loveth thee,” he complained, rubbing his eyes in frustration. “you’re so insufferable sometimes that i just want to kiss you stupid,” sirius grumbled.

“then kisseth me, thee coward!”

sirius didn’t need etiquette lessons to understand that one.
