what would you say is your favorite thing (or things) about c!niki as a character? I’ve seen you post a lot about her and I want to understand her from a c!niki fan perspective.

< < ( candle 🕯️ anon ) > >

The hardest thing about this question was that you clearly just want me to list a few things, and not write an in-depth novel on why I love c!Niki’s character, and how she is a much more important character to the lore than she is given credit for. And also being forced to only pick a few of my favorite things about c!Niki, that was also difficult. I’m gonna try not to repeat anything I’ve said in this post though.

I love her character, her personality. She’s sweet, compassionate, determined, courageous, loyal, and an animal lover, but she’s also vindictive, hotheaded, impulsive, and a touch bloodthirsty. She balances out these conflicting traits very well, either based on circumstances or on where she was in her either vengeance or healing arc.

I really do love how involved c!Niki is in the story. She’s there from nearly the beginning. She was involved in L’Manburg, got directly involved in the elections, was involved in both Manburg and Pogtopia, she got involved with Rutabagville and Dry Waters, she was a major player in the pet wars, she’s the third person who said “it was never meant to be” and it actually lasted when she did it, she’s a member of the Syndicate, she get involved with The Egg, she’s implied to be a dreamwalker and that allowed her to directly get involved in C!GNF’s dream, etc. And all the while, she also had her own storylines going on – her own vengeance arc, her healing arc, her massive underground city, etc.

This is biased because I write fanfics, but I love how well she bounces off of ever other character! I have yet to found a character she doesn’t bounce off well. She’s such a dynamic character, she’s so fun to write into fics. Is she good, is she bad, is she somewhere in between? Is she friendly with this other character, or an enemy? Doesn’t matter, she’s gonna work very well in those dynamics.

Something that I also love that applies to both c!Niki and cc!Niki is just how funny they are. C!Niki can be a hilarious character, just like cc!Niki can be a hilarious content creator. She could have picked anything, anything to shout to distract c!BBH and c!Skeppy, and yet she chose to shout “Sperm whales can't cum!”. When Tommy is bragging about his muscles, she chose the perfect tone to deliver the line “I'm sorry, Tommy, but what muscles are we talking about?”. These are just a few examples, but watching any video with cc!Niki in it will show off how funny she is.

I like that there is some mystery to certain aspects of her character. Why does she hear voices like Technoblade? Can she dreamwalk, because it is heavily implied that she can… why can she dreamwalk, if she can? Her eyes change color multiple times, as well as her hair, are the reasons why they change magical or mundane? There are a lot of angel and demon symbolism surrounding c!Niki’s character, does that have any meaning? Also, the fire symbolism. These aren’t questions that need answers, but it does allow for some creative and fun interpretations of her character. This, again, might be something more relevant to someone who writes fanfics… but hey, it’s still a thing I love!

I think that’s where I’ll leave that. Don’t want to make what was probably intended to be a simple question with a simple answer.

[cozymochi]

love how the oc asks are mainly thirsting over nyoka, then there's some Cecil kissers (ahem) and Emilio...

I mean I love him as well, he has literally my favorite signature spell ever, but my instincts tell me not to trust that man

I feel like that’s appropriate for him also in universe.

I just made a wonderful connection. have you perhaps seen the movie Four brothers??? the character Jack mercer interpreted by Garrett Hedlund looks so much like your version of Sebastian. I was just wondering if you seen it and you were inspired or if it's just a beautiful coincidence 😭🙏🏼

here's some pics of his character in the movie. he's also emo/punk in it so it's kinda accurate

IM CRYING BECAUSE YOU ARE SO CLOSE!!! the answer is yes and no.

Yes: i did use him as inspo/reference.

No: Not Sebastian. Sam!!! :D

ive actually never seen the movie but i saw him while scrolling thru pinterest and thought he'd make a nice sam reference. Mostly for the hair and facial expressions!

With Sebastian, i don't use any references. However, as far as looks go he is almost a replica of my OC Emi (down to the piercings), which tbh i developed for years purely out of "how do i make him handsome af" lmao :3

most recent Emi art:

thanks for this yunodazed! you have a good eye!!

cheers to beautiful coincidences!! 😂

Hi I've seen you use the tag transfeminism a lot but I've never seen anyone else talk about it? Would you mind explaining it, or if not maybe pointing me in the direction of what to read to understand it? Thanks a lot in advance! <3

Yeah absolutely!

The most broad and basic premise of transfeminism is: it is feminist practice that works to incorporate the experiences of trans individuals into a feminist framework.

Depending on what theorists you engage with transfeminism is either a framework for the liberation of all trans individuals from the Patriarchy - or it solely focuses on the experiences of trans women and fems. I personally ascribe to the theories of the former, not the latter.

The best, and easiest, place to start with transfeminist theory in my opinion is with Emi Koyama's "Transfeminist Manifesto" - [ here ]. The first 10 pages are the Manifesto as originally written. The last 5 are a postscript to the manifesto and a bonus piece about racist feminism. I highly recommend reading the postscript, I find it fundamental to my own understanding of transfeminist praxis.

You can read more of Koyama's work on her website - [ here ] - and I highly recommend it! She's a profound trans and intersex advocate.

I also recommend trans theorists that pre-date Koyama such as Kate Bornstein, Leslie Feinberg, and Judith Butler. They're all nonbinary trans theorists across a multitude of identities and experiences. I love this interview with Feinberg and Bornstein a lot - [ here ].

Feinberg was prolific and the first author to truly advance the concept of transgender liberation - hir website [ here ] has a free PDF download of hir book Stone Butch Blues and several other resources on hir work and life.

Bornstein's books Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us and Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation are go-to's of mine regarding a relatively modern history and understanding of trans identity. Her My Gender Workbook: How to Become a Real Man, a Real Woman, a Real You, or Something Else Entirely really helped shape my own relationship to my gender identity really positively and profoundly!

Judith Butler's most recent book Who's Afraid of Gender is also incredibly good, however it is incredibly dense in an academic sense. It personally takes me weeks to get through Butler's writing because it is so jammed with information - and that's not to their discredit, it's just the way they write. I highly recommend looking up some of their talks and interviews on YouTube as they're an easier introduction to their work.

Personally, I don't like Julia Serano as an author all that much, but she is still an influential transfeminist voice to be aware of because she coined and popularized the term transmisogyny. I personally have a lot of criticism of her work - particularly her seminal work Whipping Girl - because it explicitly, in her own words, is intended to be distinctly different from the work of Feinberg, Bornstein, and Riki Wilchins (another nonbinary intersex activist) and is more interested in societal perception and binary trans womanhood over politics and liberation. It also stands in opposition to a lot of the liberationist ideals of the Feminists she claims to be inspired by. I've read the whole book twice over now and in my opinion it reeks of White Feminism. I don't recommend it outside of reading it for context to the wider transfeminist discourse.

Transfeminism as a whole is also deeply entangled with the politics of Black and Intersectional Feminist politics, as many of those previously mentioned authors worked with, worked around, or were inspired by authors like Audre Lorde and bell hooks. As such I highly recommend both of them as authors as well!! I think their work really helps set the framework transfeminist theory is also built around.

I hope this helps!!

it's important to know that bonnie went to an all-girls school.

Kinda curious on how gigantron and ultraman first met and how they become lovers? And also wanna know did they do the boombayah to make emi? Or nah ultraman is just emi step dad?

My idea is that Gigabtron is a teacher at the local elementary school. The one that Minus 1, Suko , Battra jr, Gigan’s little sister, ultra zero and the rest of the little kids go to.

I image that they met at a party for the local school district and immediately Ultraman was smitten. He definitely asked Shimo for help when first trying to talk to her, as I imagine he was much too nervous to go up to her directly.

They bonded over a passion for education and a love of reading. They hit it off pretty quickly and started dating rather soon. They got married after 4 years, and then a year in they had Emi.

So yes, in this AU, Emi is half Kiju half ultra. But she’s more or less the same as she is in the movie, maybe she’ll have some cool ultra powers when she’s older but for now, she is baby

As someone who follows your ao3 acount what would you say was your favourite/funnest fic to write

First of all, thank you! I know most people who follow me haven't read my fanfics, so this is a pleasant surprise!

To answer your question, my favorite fic to write was Burning Iron and Honey Sweet Promises. It's not completed, but I absolutely love the worldbuiling and chemistry between Wilbur and Quackity in that fic.

Honestly, I love that fic so much I have been considering making it into an original work (and making it lesbian, because we love lesbians).

Sorry for asking about the teeth 🤣 I was just extremely curious and won't ask the other question that also popped into my head about his teeth.

I am actually really interested in learning about both Nyoka and Cecil's magics. And just in general. As someone who likes to gush about their characters to my friends, I really like knowing all about characters, especially ones other people have created.

Whatever you're willing to share about them, I'd be very interested in hearing about

other question khjgh ITS FINE I THINK IT’S FUNNY, Thank you and everyone else for the interest 😭😳💖 I probably don’t say that enough I really really do appreciate it. Time to drop important lore on a random post 👍 These are gonna be super paraphrased 😭 one spell is less complicated than the other.

CECILS SIGNATURE SPELL:

“Sorcerers’ Stand-Still”

Renders a person or people frozen in place like a statue unable to move or speak until the caster either releases it, runs out of magic reserves to hold it, or it runs it’s course and wears off on it’s own.

A person is consciously aware that they are frozen in place. There’s no protection qualities here, they’re just stuck. It doesn’t seem like much, but he knows how to use it.

Inspiration: The “Standstill Stone” spell that Cedric used to briefly take over the kingdom in season 4 premiere of Sofia the First.

NYOKAS SIGNATURE SPELL:

“Mark of Evil”

intrusive thoughts the spell

His magically-infused cobra venom can affect someone's mind and remove their morals if he injects it into someone. His magic inflicts tremendous waves of pain and makes it difficult for a victim to think and control their own actions. So long as the spell is active, Nyoka can influence them almost like accomplices for his own means.

It’s not immediately obvious to anyone else that a person is under a spell at all. However, as the effect goes on, the victim becomes more and more openly uncharacteristic, irritable and difficult for Nyoka to steer influence as their psyche continues to fall apart. It’s ideal to release them before it reaches that point. Don’t worry, venom won’t kill this time because magic, but a victim’s memory will be hazy and they will be hurting quite a bit afterwards. 👍 He has more incentive not to use it.

Inspiration: The magic bite Ushari inflicts on Kion at the start of season 3 of the Lion Guard, and the maddening effects it causes from that moment on till the end of the show. (Heavily paraphrased.)

Are you familiar with Sonic the Hedgehog???

Can you draw Sonic Characters???

I'm not a Sonic fan and don't know his lore so much (I even still didn't watched Sonic 3 movie lol)

But still I love some characters so much and some things too. Buuuutt still not a Sonic fan yeah.

[mirensiart]

For your pain sharing AU, I thought it would be funny if the chain are just chilling at camp, resting up, and then they suddenly feel they're on fire??? And then the camera cuts to Triple Threat TM in the middle of a forest fire with Wild patting down his clothes (that are also on fire). Legend and Wild don't think anything of it until Hyrule just goes "Uh y'all... If we feel Wild's burns..."

Cue the 'Oh Shit' moment

Just a little scenario that tickled my little lizard brain, this AU has so much potential and my brain has been going having a field day with it

Have a great day/night :D

I love those little scenarios with this au hehe like some of the links going around doing mischief, just to remember they're all linked (heh) and then going "oh shit" lol

My bestie @alch-emi did a comic with a similar concept but with just hyrule and wild hehe

PLEASE CHECK IT OUT it's so great!

I know the fandom calls them triple threat but I am very fond of the powerpuff girls name LMAO cause ya know, their colors
