HLVRAI Gordon is such a good character and I love his mannerisms. There are several points in the series where he lays a hand on someone’s shoulder when talking to them and pats them or how he catches Benrey when he gets stuck on the ladder and he seems like such a physically affectionate guy. He’s also first to be concerned when someone is hurt and is in genuine distress when people die, a fact that only really changes when Gordon steadily realizes that nobody in the Science Team can really die.

He’s baffled by their antics but he laughs and plays along with a lot of them too. He says goodnight to everyone and tells a story to Coomer when he asks. He forgives pretty easily when people show remorse for what they’ve done and he’s always trying to clean off the alien goop when it gets on people. He sits them down in a circle to talk and bond with them more than once. He’s such a DAD and it’s great.

Everyone who writes Gordon being goofy and having a great time with all of them once they’re out of danger is so right because if you take Gordon out of all the danger they’re put it, eliminating his main source of stress, he’s just a guy having a good time!

Considering the analysis you made about Satoru and Suguru's selfishness, do you think that in a scenario where both are interested in the same person, Satoru would step aside because he would feel that Suguru could make you happier than him?

I DO ... I GENUINELY DO …..

this might be a hot take i’m not sure…. but i do very much think that any ‘competitions of love’ between satoru and suguru would end with satoru respectfully yielding. like. let’s say they’re in high school and bickering over their shared crush — they’re gonna try to woo you, gonna try to show each other up, but i think that the moment their feelings for you become a little more “real” satoru will be the one taking a step back. partially because it scares him a little, mostly because he’d prefer to see you and suguru happy than just being happy with you alone .

this is a little snippet from an ohshc va interview lmao but i think it fits the bill so i’m leaving it here…

“i think kyoya is very much in love with tamaki and with haruhi. he’s very much in love with the both of them. and i think it matures to a point where he would much prefer to see the both of them together than him with either one. because they make more sense together than he makes with anybody else.”

Do all your superhero stories take place in the same world? I ask because Sweet Dreams is one of my favorite stories of yours, and the brief glimpses we see of society in relation to superpowers (like the power test kits available at pharmacies), or organizations related to them (like where the villain was imprison), really caught my interest. If it's not all the same world, do you come up with concepts of how things work in each world before you write them, or is it just made up as needed?

Hey! Great questions!

No, most of my superhero stories take place in completely different worlds. I’m just not in the habit of making my stories connect in any way. But this is also helpful because then I can explore a lot of different ways superpowers could affect societies and worldbuilding without feeling bound to the rules of one world! For example: Eyeteeth is a superhero world with a lot of fantasy influence when it comes to powers. In Biggest Fan, Superheroes and Villains are very commercialized with trading cards for sale. In Strays, powered individuals are tracked down as soon as powers manifest. And so on :)

However I loved the worldbuilding in Sweet Dreams so much, that I recently started another series called Sugar and Spice that takes place in the same world but a different city. It follows very similar themes to Sweet Dreams, being another Villain x Henchman roadtrip story but it explores a part of society where noncombative powers are not respected.

As for whether I plan the worldbuilding ahead of time, no. Almost never. I’m a discovery writer, aka pantser, so most of my ideas come to me as I go, and I love how once I figure out the world better it directly affects the depth of the story and characters.

It's so obvious nobody in this fandom actually gives a shit about real-world misogyny if they're so ready to throw that word around when someone has a slightly differing opinion. Like no liking a shitty Male character does not make them misogynist. Reevaluating a Male or FEMALE character's actions and doing an analysis for why you think events played out a certain way does not make you a misogynist. And it's funny because these same people who scream misogny I have seen turn around and greatly slander another female character that they don't like. Like, how are you going to call someone misogynist because you don't like their opinion but will then turn around and slander another female character without understanding their nuance? Make it make sense, dummy.

Found a month to month rental for a dry cabin in a very rural area that I’m considering. I’m making a pros and cons list and one of the items in the “pros” category is being able to wear cowboy hats and boots without feeling like a complete poser.

supposed to be sleeping but rereading coballoway scenes because i need to prioritize my mental health

[vriska-serketboard]

do you ever scroll through the tea and secrets blog & pretend/worry that all the anons about hating/falling out of love with someone are about you even if they don’t match up to any of your actual life experiences whatsoever, or pretend/worry that you sent some of the asks and then just forgot, or that you’re living in a different world where this stuff actually happened to you and marches up with your own life experiences & this present moment is just some kind of really long hallucination? Just me? Hahaha ok slay

on a scale of 1 to 10 — 1 being the least and 10 being the most — how confident are you in surviving an imposter sagau situation?

short answer: i, a non-native in terrain i’ve only ever navigated with 1) a glider 2) no fear of death 3) via a vessel 4) with a map, against various well trained armies, all hellbent on killing me? you’re funny.

now, the long answer…

the long answer, of course, depends on your preferred brand of isekai, as well as the various traits within that. i will… attempt at brevity, but cannot make promises. oh, and there’s no particular order to this list.

1) blood. i myself am more inclined to blue over gold, but that doesn’t matter for this topic. what does matter is if its present and if it manifests immediately.

2) teyvat. is the earth on my side? do the plants and animals know it’s me, or do i need to ‘prove’ it? does it resent me for whatever reason? what’s it’s level of influence (which sounds dumb, but do i have the power of earthquakes and storms or just a few animal helpers?)

3) the imposter situation itself. is there a physical imposter already there,and if so what’s their level of influence? origin? i’d rather go against a wayward traveller than celestia’s puppet. do they have powers? how does teyvat react to them, if at all?

4) speaking of, celestia. are they on my side, the fake’s(if there is one), or staying neutral? what brand of sagau are we even using here? i know i made a post about my version of sagau lore, but one of the key changes since then was celestia. what version of lore are we following?

5) teyvat’s people, emphasis on vision wielders. do they have that subconscious Know? do their visions act up? how do the people overall feel about the one on the throne, if there is one? if there isn’t, is celestia involved in their opinions somehow? what about the traveller, or my vessels?

6) my influence. what can i do? do i have creator abilities, and if so do they take time/some other cue to manifest? is it something i train, or just Click one day? what level? is it an element by element basis, like the traveller, or does that not apply to me? do i have an inventory? if so, can i access the character menus? the map? waypoints? can i move my party, still? do statues of the seven heal me, does food heal me, how do hillichurls and various abyssal beings react to me? ancient gods, such as rhodea (i spelled that wrong) or dvalin or that fucker in the sea outside liyue (yeah i. forgot his name) or azhdaha or yo(u?)kai, if i’m in inazuma? where are we in the in-game lore, by the way?

7) teyvat, again, but this time in terms of biology. i have a few headcanons about teyvat, notably that their gravity is lesser (less fall damage), weather less severe (global warming), and is overall much more temperate/cooler/less humid (global warmingx2 and also just a touch of idealism), so do these apply? this ties into the other points about teyvat, i guess: does the earth let me get cold? can i just shelter in dragonspine?

8) plot armor, for lack of better phrasing. will teyvat let me die? oh, and do i get timeloop’d, or kicked back to my world? do i die, go to my world, then go back to teyvat when i sleep/next log on/whatever? again, tying into other points about teyvat, but will it protect me from death? is my skin like impenetrable or something, or whoops, god is dead, sorry. if i revive in teyvat, is it like that one recent piece i did where the earth moves me? what happens when (if?) i die? does teyvat take revenge?

the long answer… is that it depends.

So how are ya enjoying AAI2?

And you're playing AA6 after that, right?

I haven’t played it yet

I’m replaying AA4, and then I’ll probably play AA6 and then I’ll play AAI2 I think and then I’ll replay AA5 :3

I think theoretically if I drink crazy fast and do not stop I could finish the bottle tonight before I go to bed but what satisfaction would that bring? The fact that I’m tolerance enough that I can have 25 shots of 60 proof without dying? (That’s equivalent to 18-19 shots of normal unflavored vodka but that doesn’t. Hmm. That doesn’t sound better or more reasonable.) anyway whatever this is not the lowest point of my whole entire life but it’s pretty damn low. But it still beats being actively suicidal at night. Like I often was when drinking wasn’t an option. Quite a conundrum

hi i haven’t been on here for a bit bc things are crazy but… i got my learners permit today 🤓

The more I think about storybrooke logistics the more my fucking brain hurts. Like. There’s the really simple stuff that can easily just be explained away by “magic” with no real thought and just a lazy piece of fucking duct tape such as: mail. Stores/restaurants being restocked. How does the money work? Taxes! What’s going on there?!?! But then there’s like BIG stuff that makes ABSOLUTELY ZERO SENSE.

Like okay fine it’s a self contained bubble of magic so things just magically restock whatever FINE. Lazy but fine.

But what about when Regina tells Emma she has to take nick and Ava (aka Hansel and Gretel) out of storybrooke to go to an orphanage in Boston? Like yeah I know it DOESNT end up happening but why would Regina even try it if “something bad happens when people leave storybrooke” (also like bruh what happens? Do they just die? Poof out of existence?? What then??

And then there’s the time Kathryn gets ACCEPTED TO LAW SCHOOL?! Bitch WHERE?!?! Ur not a real person. Do you have a social security number? Did u apply for fucking FAFSA???? Like what the literal fuck is going on

doing logic masquerading as philosophy is all fun and games until you’re asked whether the statement If a valid argument has a true conclusion, it is sound is true or false and to provide a counterexample if false. godless earth we all live on
