it baffles me, yet still i feel like i can find plenty of peace in these thoughts and memories

by my name, and by the gods, i love my adorable silly slinky wife

[trelinha9]

I loved today's episode. I loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!!

Spoilers below the line, as always, and let's go to all the incredible points of this incredible episode in this incredible anime with incredible characters!

Spoilers below the cut!

1 - The episode begins where we left off, with Liko and Ametio trapped together in the cave. This opening scene is short but important. Terapagos is yelling at Amethio, and Liko tries to calm him down without success. Ametio takes a deep breath, steps forward and tells Terapagos that he wouldn't do anything, to trust him. I like how Amethio kind of prepares himself to say this sentence, as if he doesn't know how to handle the situation

2 - Terapagos apparently realizes that Amethio IS NOT Gibeon, despite probably looking a lot like a younger Gibeon. The small sparkling legendary turtle is clearly confused, but he simply turns his back and heads back to Liko. At that moment, Amethio sighs, he is relieved to have solved that problem

3 - The cutest scene of the entire episode: Ceruledge watching Floragato collect grass to help Liko stay warm, and he decides to use his blades to warm Amethio too! It's like, the cutest thing in the world. I love these two so much. I need more fics with these two. Ceruledge cares so much about Amethio, it's so beautiful

4 - Liko asks Ceruledge to burn the grass to make a fire, and Amethio agrees. The two sit together and do something that no one thought Pokémon writers would be able to do: THEY TALK!!!! Like, they ask each other questions, and they answer those questions, and they both end up understanding each other better in the end. Here are the notes, because it was my favorite moment of the episode by far:

5 - One thing I really liked is that Amethio is the one who starts the conversation. He asks why Liko was ready to give up when he terastalized Ceruledge, and Liko explains that she failed the terastal application test. Liko says she thought she would be more useful if she had passed. Amethio then asks if she's going to give up (HE ASKS IF SHE'S GOING TO GIVE UP OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS EPISODE SO MUCH). His words (in the Brazilian dub) are "Are you going to give up just because you tripped once and you think you won't be able to help?" Amethio clearly identified with what Liko said here: he lost to Friede, he lost to Rayquaza twice, he lost to Hamber, and in the last episode he lost to Spinel's Umbreom. He had to recover from all these losses if he wanted to continue to be useful to the Explorers. Faced with Amethio's words, Liko reflects and says that she doesn't want to give up.

6-It's Liko's turn to ask a question, and it's interesting when she says that she always wanted to ask him that: because he saved her in the battle against Rayquaza. Amethio says that he didn't save her, and Liko says "But I was saved. You saved me" (which, coupled with the fact that she thanked him, shows that she is grateful to Amethio for saving her, since she thought on the subject).

7 - Liko says that the Explorers are "bad" people who are after Terapagos and Rayquaza, but she feels that Amethio is different in some way. This is in the episode. I'm not making it up. It's 100% canon. I'm normal. I'm fine.

8 - Liko asks why Amethio needs Terapagos and Rayquaza, and Amethio explains that, to fulfill his grandfather's, Gibeon, dream of finding Rakua, he needs them both. (Note, Amethio explicitly says that he wants to make his grandfather's dream come true. This is the first time we hear him say that he wants something, in this case, to make someone else's dream come true).

9 - Mini note: the moment Ceruledge kneels next to Amethio when he says "I want to make my grandfather's dream come true" is so... Sweet. Interesting. As if Ceruledge is saying "I'm with you on this, you're not alone"

10 - Liko and Amethio continue to bond over the fact that they are both following their grandparents' legacy, and how their path is similar.

11-One of my favorite moments of the episode: Liko says that she was happy to have had that conversation, because before she only thought of him as an enemy. Amethio responds that he only thought of her as "the girl who has Terapagos". This tiny moment is actually huge. It is explicit in the text that Liko and Amethio's view of each other has changed. The two talked, opened up, and ended up understanding each other. Now THAT'S what I call a wholesome bonding scene

12 - My greatest wishes were fulfilled in this episode: Amethio gets up and says "Let's get out of here, Liko". LIKO. LIKO!!! HE CALLS HER BY HER NAME!!!!! I'M SO NORMAL ABOUT THIS.

13 - Amethio and Liko come up with a plan to enlarge a hole in the ceiling of the cave so they can get through safely. Ceruledge and Floragato climb onto Corviknight and use their attacks to open the hole wider. The two work very well together, and Amethio and Liko successfully exit the cave (also, considering the fact that the exit was on the roof of the cave, we can assume that Liko and Amethio rode Corviknight together, which is cute to imagine )

14 - I loved how Amethio reaches out to Liko and helps her get out of the crack they created. He is a gentleman indeed

15 - Amethio warns Liko to be careful with Spinel, because he would definitely try something like that again, which is nice of him. He hates the guy, that's a fact.

16 - Another super interesting conversation was when Liko asks Amethio why the Rising Volt Tacklers and the Explorers don't come together, since they both want the same thing, and Amethio says it's impossible. Amethio says that, even though the goals are the same, the paths are different, and that he will continue in his own way.

17 - The scene where all the admins, especially Spinel, stab Amethio in the back is heavy. Spinel and Agate did a great job of pretending they didn't know anything, and Coral and Sidian, too. To clarify, no, Amethio was not kicked out of the Explorers, at least it is not said in the episode. Gibeon says that he was disappointed in Amethio, that even Amethio was turning against him, and tells Amethio to leave, that he doesn't want to see his face. This one is HEAVY. First, we get some hints about what happened to Amethio's father (he probably betrayed the Explorers), and second, the fact that Gibeon doesn't even give Amethio the benefit of the doubt to explain what happened is horrifying. He's his grandson, you should believe what he says!

18 - The episode ends with Amethio literally shaking. He was betrayed by his colleagues, and neither his mentor nor his grandfather wanted to let him explain himself. Additionally, he has been compared to his father. This boy needs therapy.

Episode 10/10 for sure! I didn't mention the scenes with Roy, Dot, and Friede throughout the episode, because the Ameliko content was the highlight of the episode for me and is more relevant than anything else. I can't wait to see how Liko and Amethio's relationship will develop in the next arc, and what the writers will do with Amethio's character.

Do you ship it?

Based on an idea by majestickdoodler

Doodle, my dewdle, genuinely thank you so much for this submission, I have zero clue who these characters are but I looooove their designs, they're absolutely adorable. I'm gonna save this to my favourites so I can take inspiration for my own characters.

[suethesocks]

oh i love you Rose Quartz

I think rose is a really cool and interesting character. On one hand she abused her pearl, abandoned spinel in objectively the worst way possible, lied to her friends once about her identity and once about another one of their dear friends giving them no agency or closure over either situations, still exercised her authority over Pearl for at least 1 thing,

and

above it all

Never went back to correct any of those mistakes, running away from them forever and ever, only to have a son and leaving him to deal with the consequences (whether she couldve forseen that or not isnt very relevant)

But at the same time she was the only diamond to see the error of their ways, to end her colony, to fight back against the system. Liberating a whole planet and protecting its people. And while the crystal gems were still a full rebellion force she spread so much god to all those gems and making them see the error of their ways too, while also showing them love despite being rejected by their empire

The fact that all of that was built on lies and deception.. it doesnt undo it, but it does make it so complicated in such a cool and interesting way

She genuinely hated what the diamonds did, what she did as a diamond. She genuinely cared for the native residents of planet earth and keeping invader gems off of it and ending its colonization. Those are all good qualities, yk?

~She LOVES IT!!

~You can be around her all day everyday!

~Her best friend loves her so much, and she knows it! She loves to be loved!

~Spinel is just as clingy as you are- which might make things a little bit unhealthy, make sure you spend a healthy amount of time away from her, and a healthy amount of time close to her!

~*Shrek voice* LIKE THAT'S EVER GONNA HAPPEN

~You and Spinel are inseparable!

~The more clingy you are around her, the more clingy she'll be to you. The relationship literally never stops growing at this rate...

~She always wants to be playing games with you or holding your hand.

~Spinel might feel a bit jealous when she sees you bonding with somebody else, but she tries to remember that not EEEEVERYONE is gonna abandon and leave her in the end, and that it's good that you have "other friends". She forgets sometimes, though :(

~Then hopefully she'll make friends with your friend, too. More friends all around. She needs it desperately.

[swelling-feeling]

This imagine is... more spicy, than the usual stuff i write and imagine - im still lowkey suprised by it myself, since this might be the first ever sex-adjacent thing i've ever thought of, or well, written

so, yeah, that out of the way-!

Simply put; The hornier Spinel would get, the more she would Inflate

this, of course, can fall into a kind of loop of sorts;

Spinel, whilst in private, thinks about being inflated (or in general made big) by her Beloved eldritch god, and with how even the mere idea of it makes her feel, a faint hissing is heard as she begins inflating all on her own - which, of course, only amplifies the feeling she's experiancing; and in turn, amplifying the inflation further, the hiss rising in volume as she balloons out further - and thus, the cycle would form; repeated ad nauseam for as long as the feelings continue

Of course, since we are talking about Spinel here, it's clear that her limits are... Well, rather Impossible; with this idea in mind, she could practically keep growing, well, forever, all fueled with the idea of her Beloved inflating her into a blimp - But, for the sake of the idea, let's say that she did have a limit; still impossibly large, but a limit nonetheless - This cycle, horniness fueling inflation, all growing to a climax, in a way, akin to an orgasm (but without all the mess lmfao) - And as Spinel keeps growing more and more, quicker and quicker as the merest idea of her beloved inflating her like his personal, adorable little balloon keeps turning her into a bigger and bigger blimp, the closer she draws to that climax, the sounds of her body squeaking, groaning, and creaking growing in volume, growing more frequent, growing ever closer to the climax ever quicker as a result from her self-made feedback loop of thought and feeling, until...

P o p !

Down, down, down she falls back unto her Mess of a Pile of Pillows, Dizzy out of her mind from all that pressure, and pink-faced from her adorable full blush - and perhaps, mayby, naked if her clothes ripped apart in the middle of that feedback loop of horny b'looning

...until, the mere idea of going through all that again makes her even the slightest bit horny again, which makes her puff up steaadily again, and the cycle begins all over again in earnest, much to her delight im sure lol

but, that's all by her lonesome! Try to imagine just how more potent the effect is if Maxim was to actually be there; gently teasing her, his hands gently tracing and stroking her body, or even softly whispering all the things he plans to do with her when she gets to the size he wants to see her achieve - the merest touch or stroke of his hands on her form would drive her positively mad, beyond quickly ballooning out and into him; bonus points for him now being pressed into the wall by her puffed up form lmao

...Admittedly, ever since i got that idea recently, it did kinda wind me up, wanting to see Spinel practically balloon out as physical proof of her enjoyment of all the affection and teases i offer her

iunno, i just love Spinel and want to see her balloon up just for me lmfao, either only her belly puffing up, or her entire form rounding out into an adorable blimp

...y'know what, imma go try to cast this on Spinel real quick and watch the fun unfold, brb fellas-/hj

[sketchedatrocities]

You.

I found your SU fan-animation episode "The Smothering" with a Mom-Swap AU.

I have several questions.

Is Jasper a fusion? If not, what's Amethyst's role? Is she still an overbaked runt or is she more powerful? Is Garnet still a fusion? If so, is this AU's Homeworld's treatment of fusions different than in canon? If Pearl takes Peridot's role, are Pearls more than just servants in the AU? Or is she a servant pearl like other pearls? What's the deal with the diamonds in general? Jasper and Peridot still seem to have the yellow diamond on their chests, does Steven have Yellow's Gem on his chest instead? Or is it still just Pink? Has Peri never been poofed and is that why she still has her limb enhancers? Was Bismuth (and her whole deal) still a thing? If so, does this mean that Amethyst (Or Garnet?) was the one stuck in the mirror? Was it just Sapphire given her future sight?

These are just a few of the questions I have, I don't want to overwhelm you.

Thank you for reading this if you have I am too curious and I would love answers please I'm beggin' ya. I am on my hands and knees here I am so. curious.

So the issue with what you're doing here is that you're trying to equate a one-to-one exchange between characters in the AU.

For example, there's no reason for Jasper to be a fusion.

So the basic idea was that Peri-Jasper-Lapis were Rose's friends in this version, or at least were the ones who ended up being alive (or unbubbled) and looking after Steven. The other component of this idea is that they'd be much worse at it. None of them being particularly good at getting along. I like to imagine they occasionally try and take each other out when away from home like when Peridot aimed her cannon at Jasper. They're a much more dysfunctional version of the normal gems.

So Pearl and Peridot didn't exchange roles in the story one-to-one. Potentially Rose didn't receive a new Pearl after cracking 'Volleyball' or felt too ashamed by this and bubbled her and claimed she didn't want a pearl. She did ditch Spinel forever on a secret island in space so it's not like that's unreasonable for her. If you want a cannon answer for this AU specifically, her new Pearl was delivered by her overprotective sisters and she never activated it. Partly due to shame and party out of loathing that they think she'd need an attendant. So Pearl (our Pearl) is in a box in Rose's room.

Instead, Rose found Peridot and broke stuff to have an excuse to talk to someone. She discovers Peridot has been hiding that she's a dud and cannot control metal but sees herself in the weaker gem. When she takes Peridot's hand instead of discarding her she wins her loyalty for life. Peri's Limb enhancers are things she created to feel more useful and prove she's not weak and useless. If you want another one-to-one exchange, imagine the reveal that she's got Limb enhancers replacing the reveal that Garent is a fusion. They're quite similar in regard to poofing a gem revealing their body isn't quite what you expected.

Lapis is just cheerful because in this AU she wasn't repeatedly imprisoned after many war crimes. I still use her theme of freedom, in that here she's enamoured with the idea that there's no hierarchy and revels in freedom. So she's the fun aunt type who would be fun for a weekend but god you wouldn't want to live with her. Rose met her shortly after she was imprisoned for a little accidental war crime she was ordered to do and set her free.

Jasper was just Jasper. But Rose revealed she was Pink Diamond and Jasper went to her side instead of trying to kill her unknowingly in a war for ages. Jasper already adored her and - after the idea is introduced that gems can choose who they want to be by Rose - Jasper attempts to mimic things Rose did because she liked Rose so much. Obviously, if you want to be a good gem mimic a diamond right? She attempts to mimic her compassion and respect without really getting it. Ironically she's the most like Homeworld, since she just obeyed her Diamond and is not trying to do what she thinks her Diamond wanted. Her journey would be actually understanding what Rose meant as opposed to just repeating it. (Fun gag: Since Rose loved Greg Jasper assumed Greg has immense value, and tries to sort of flirt with him because that's what Rose did. Greg figured out she's just mimicking Rose but it's still super uncomfortable and he's intimidated by her.) (If you want another one-to-one, Jasper gets the love confession from guy-who's-name-I-forgot and accepts. She shows off that she has a pet human like Rose and everyone is disgusted by this.)

---

So Peridot wants to show she's smart and competent, believing she's Rose's extension and needs to look after her son. She's conflicted about considering herself inherently weak and needs to learn to accept she doesn't need limb enhancers. She doesn't like Lapis because she's never doing any jobs and was born super powerful. She doesn't like Japser because she thinks she's an idiot thug and also was born Perfect, unlike Peridot.

Jasper tries to enforce a more military-like command structure but neither of the other gems respects her or cares so they just butt heads a lot. (heh) Lapis hates orders and Peridot doesn't think Jasper has smart ideas. Jasper ends up feeling like she's nothing more than a violent murder machine and her function is to do harm. They also get wicked pissed at her when she tries to mimic how Rose would act.

Lapis hangs out and has fun. She sometimes breaks rules just because she can and causes some issues. Being a powerful water lord she needs to learn some restraint and control as well as the ability to work with the others.

---

CHEATS - I left their design unaltered because I didn't want to use new designs. I should have used new designs, but I didn't. This is why there are yellow diamonds on the outfit. Assume they are incredibly uninterested in changing outfits. if I redid it they'd have unique outfits, or at least they'd have pink diamonds on their chests.

Bismuth, the Diamonds, and fusion are all the same.

---

I think Amethyst would have been discarded and practised transforming so hard she could pretend to be strong and large long enough that she'd get away with it. That and only faking muscle right up until she needed it.

She'd blow a lot of hot air and then try and end fights asap until Jasper knocks her around.

Sapphire would be great for the mirror, a mirror that sees the future would be incredibly handy. She'd be uncatchable also and fulfil the role of someone who contacts homeworld. When she came back with Amethyst and some rubies armed with destabilisers one fused with her to save her. This crisis of faith caused them to flee while the other rubies were bubbled.

See it's about having similar outcomes with the same overall plot. Instead of events being the same with new faces, you exchange the trials a character goes through with the other. Amethyst and jasper are facing the same issues but the one we're rooting for is swapped, etc.

For Pearl, she'd have an episode where Steven discovers her and the gang use her like a slave. Steven is uncomfortable with this and tries to make Pearl think of herself as her own person. She ends up working at the car wash and has a nice time. Steven wanted her to be her own person but she's coded to obey him, so he leaves her with Greg, who's not directly her owner but a still in charge, which she can handle better since having no one in charge around causes her to panic or shut down. Greg pays her but she turns around and uses her income to buy things for the Carwash.

[nanayuz]

so... hz ships.

right now, they’re kinda nameless. well, not exactly, with the use of japanese portmanteaus being popular. but, just to be a bit more ‘mainstream’ at least in pokémon, they deserve ‘_shipping’ names.

how about we give them some?

i did not make all of these ship names. i made some of them, but some were taken from my friends or may have gotten usage already. 

let’s start off with, from what i’ve seen, one of the most popular ships in horizons, ameliko. since i don’t ship this, i’m unfamiliar with the fandom, and have no idea if they already have a name. but i’ll still give them one: pendantmissionshipping. i don’t really like it, since it’s probably not gonna end up a huge part of their characters like it is now, but it works.

next, let’s do likoroy, or royliko as some people call it. let’s start off with the fact that it literally cannot be horizonshipping. it can’t. the name’s taken, it’s been taken since the old bulbagarden shipping list. so, there’s the alternative newhorizonshipping, and it’s probably the most similar that we can get since ‘horizonsshipping’ just sounds stupid.

alright, ann x liko. it was the most popular liko ship during hz001 and hz002, but recently it hasn’t been as popular compared to other ships. the recommended one is aiboushipping, ‘aibou’ means partner in japanese. sidekick, one and only. i think it fits quite well.

the last ‘main’ liko ship is dot x liko, which i don’t really have any idea for. i do like the name ideas of superfanshipping and guruminshipping, and i think those fit best out of the ones i’ve seen recommended. i’d love to find better names for them, since i do enjoy them as a pairing.

since there aren’t many ‘main’ roy ships besides likoroy, let’s move onto my favorite platonic soulmates, furiame. the recommended name for them is freedexplorershipping, which, oh my god, fits perfectly. it’s both obscure but not absolutely ridiculous, and it’s literally perfect for them.

one of the other friede ships, friede x murdock, is one i did make a name for, which i’m very much proud of. capncrunchshipping surprisingly isn’t a taken name, and it makes sense for both characters and their jobs on the ship. rn, this may jst be my horizons otp, half because of the name. airfryershipping is another name i enjoy.

orla x mollie is definetly the most popular yuri ship in horizons up to this point. they’re just.. oh my god. i suggest the name heartstruckshipping for them, since it again, makes sense for the characters’ jobs. and it’s just a gorgeous ship name, they deserve a gorgeous name.

there are other ships, like friede x mollie, or amethio x spinel, or one of the many rarepairs i’ve already made, but the last ship i’ll talk about is zir x conia. since the name ‘explorershipping’ is taken, explorersshipping could work, as i’ve seen recommended. it doesn’t sound as goofy as ‘horizonsshipping’, and it works for them.

but, i really wanna see what other people think could be their ship names!!

[smilingperformer]

SO, about today's Horizons episode, HZ014! Gonna put under the cut so no one who's behind on watching these episodes won't get accidentally spoiled on. Thou tag filtering is a thing, but anyway!

It was great! Truly enjoyable, there are some dialogue not easy to understand for me but most of the episode was easy to understand by simply following what the characters were doing on screen, which is brilliant story-telling in animation!

And I must say right now, I LOVE Kaiden! So much! It has so much personality already and it's such a nice take on a bird Pokémon who, ironically, cannot fly. Mostly seems to be related to being afraid of heights? And the way Roy was helping Kaiden out and trying to figure out ways to help it was just... HNNNGH my heart strings, it was really adorable and sweet. And the way Liko and Murdock got to witness it was such a nice way to tie in three different happenings in the episode. And it culminating into the two bonding so close that both feel sad about separation and instead Kaiden flies, kinda badly, towards Roy and when it ends up beginning to fall to the river, just as Murdock gave Roy the pokeball for capture (he knew right away ;__;), Roy catches it. It is such a good capture it might actually be among top fav catches in all these years ;V;

Also Murdock thanking Liko for being friends with Dot like asjfhsfjkhfkjhf he's so glad Dot's begun to socialize and it's kinda thanks to Liko aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh they're all so sweeet!!

We also kinda come to realise in this ep that, Friede doesn't really tell his crew everything even when he ABSOLUTELY should! He was lured into a trap by two Pokémon, clearly trained, and he told them nothing when asked by Orio where he went. It feels like it's simply because he doesn't want others to worry. But I also feel like this is what caused Liko to get off guard about a VERY obviously sus mail to her rotomphone about a spice that Murdock, conveniently, couldn't get before when the two went shopping. And was eavesdropped by Spinel's Beeheeyem? God I never remember that Pokémon's name, not in english, not in japanese lol.

But like yeh. Liko got lured into a trap partly due to how Friede didn't tell anyone to be careful despite obvious danger lurking around them, got hypnotised by Spinel's Beeheeyem-whatever, got snached of the pendant and, on top of it all: seemingly lost her memory alongside Nyahoja! THAT FU-

Anyway I am now looking for Spinel to talk to him about what he did to Liko totally not gonna punch him in the face-

AHEM.

Anyway, brilliant ep, definitely looking forward to next ep because it definitely is gonna be important for Liko ;A;

[niceness-before-knives]

Doodles while I was watching movies last night~~ Some silly thoughts too.

About Veil (they/he): I think I said it before, but Veil looks uncannily like my Hawke (dark curly hair, freckles, amber eyes, tan skin). So much so I imagine when Varric and them first met, Varric called them Hawke. Veil is like ‘??? That’s a rook???’ Which is where their nickname came from. Veil loves corvids a lot and likes talking with them when they see one. (is also romancing a Crow too, go you Veil).

Veil is also probably the tallest out of everyone? It’s the one factor that keeps the ‘uncannily looking like the Champion’ from being too uncanny. They’re like six four, six five ish? o:

Grew up in the Frostback Mountains in an Avvar hold. Their mother was a trader and brought Veil with her when they were younger so they could see the rest of the world. She always believed like nothing made you appreciate home like coming home after a long trip. When Veil’s magic appeared, they got grounded from the time being until they got a better handle on it. Eventually, they left and joined up with the Wardens. I imagine the Fifth Blight left deep scars on the land and the minds, and Veil wanted to help protect his people if/when the Sixth Blight showed up.

(And given what’s said about the South in Veilguard… 🥲 Veil is Concerned.)

Knows a lot of spirits and gods. Generally, very mild-mannered. Let’s to joke around but isn’t heavily sarcastic (another point against being like Hawke, Varric sighed in relief). The only time he gets annoyed is when people call him Ferelden, and it’s still more pinched. ‘No. That’s wrong, thank you.’ Also doesn’t appreciate when people talk over them about spirits and possession?? Like he knows shit too. It can’t hurt to listen. :/!!

About Velveteen (she/they): Unlike the other three, Velveteen isn’t a revamp of an older OC I made prior to Veilguard so I have less headcanons about them yet. :(

I was debating making them a Lord of Fortune because I had a delightful thought about who their folks could be. But, idk, I do love them as a Crow and having a solid connection to Treviso and Antiva. That’s home to them~ I imagine they were abandoned as a baby, and that’s where the name Velveteen came from. They were wrapped up in some.

Also? Could use Royale from Royale Sea Silk?? Do like but idk. I’ll have to sit on it.

Had an incredibly edgy teenhood while dealing with lots of ugly emotions and intense gender woes, which is when they got their skeleton scars done. Eventually, they accepted themselves and started to dye their white hair pink instead of blood red, changed the gem in their horn to pink spinel and just finally felt at peace with themselves.

Still has the skeleton scars because that’s just a Damn Good Aesthetic, Antiva taught her well, though she added a some heart into it to fully complete it. <3

Very jokey and light-hearted. Also, Very Small for Qunari. :’)! Velveteen is only like six two, six three tops. In game, she’s like a good head shorter than the other Qunari and I love it.

I still have no idea who they’re gonna romance. Bellara is the only maybe I’ve felt so far? I’ll have to see. Velveteen is giving me slight aro vibes. Or maybe it’s poly. 🤔

About Auspex and Exuperia: I haven’t played them as Rooks (yet), but they’re old Tevinter OCs I made back when Trespasser first dropped. c: They’re half-siblings, both belonging to some old Tevinter Noble house. The heads of Risus had an arranged marriage, as you do in Tevinter, but did appreciate each other as friends. They came to agreements as long as they had an heir, they were both free to explore other relationships.

They ended up both falling for the same person tho, an artist they frequently commissioned. Artist was more than okay with that, and it ended in a polycule.

Exuperia is the Risus Heir, and the older of the siblings. She’s outwardly very polite and very aligned with Tevinter politics. Is a mage, probably has a seat of the Magisterium but takes more cares how and when she makes waves. Is a secret viper under her polite smiles.

Auspex is the Risus bastard, and a Soporati to boot. Was very much loved by his family, through Auspex isn’t sure if that would’ve been the case if Exuperia wasn’t around to be the face of Risus. But she is, and he loves her for that. <3 He’s more of a spitfire and a chaos gremlin~~ Very outspoken and snarky, and is more kind than he is nice.

Both siblings are very close, and Auspex acts more as Exuperia’s left hand. I always liked imagining he got sent south for a spell to train with the Templars because Dad and Mom thought it was be safer if Auspex could, you know, stop a mage flat??

Probably a good idea because Auspex gets into a lot of trouble with mages and the Venatori. I also always imagined them as trying to upend Tevinter, so they being apart of the Shadow Dragons would just fit perfectly for them. Exuperia is one of their insiders and Auspex is more an active member.

Also, Auspex would have the biggest heart eyes for Emmrich while Exuperia is making ���why are you like this’ faces off to the side.

Kinda want to make a game to play Auspex now. :’l <33 He was the first idea I had for a Rook (before Rook was even a thing), and I wouldn’t have to change much to his original backstory.

Both Veil and Velveteen saved Treviso, so I do want to see the flipside to that. 🤔🤔🤔

Also??? Maybe earlier in life, a mission went very Sideways and Exuperia had to questionably revive Auspex? o: I like neither of them knowing quite what happened, and neither of them want to talk about it. Like what if Auspex got joined with a spirit like Wynne back in Origins? Because I think Disruption would be very fun to play with there. >:)!!

Happy Tenth Birthday Steven Universe!

I remember seeing a quick teaser for this back when I was a kid and thought, "huh, that doesn't look very good." Flash forward to now and I'm writing a 200k+ word Steven Universe fic.

There will probably never be another show that means as much to me as Steven Universe does. I feel head-over-heels in love with its characters (their dynamic growth, their well-developed personalities, their voice acting, my God their voice acting), the art style, the story, the soundtrack, and the themes. I grew up immersing myself into this world, and it really did affect my outlook on life and how I interacted with others. It told me how important empathy and loving your enemies was, and these are still values I hold with me. It also proved to be an amazing creative outlet for me, and I would in no way be writing as a hobby now if it weren't for this show.

Then the movie came out and I fell down a rabbit hole.

I've never so loved (and so identified with) a character before. Everything about Spinel was done extremely well, and it all clicked for me: her voice acting and her singing (thank you Sarah Stiles!), her design and mannerisms, her back story, and especially her personality. She's just a blast to write, and I'm certain that I'll be writing plenty more about her for the foreseeable future.

Thank you, Rebecca Sugar, for creating a show that has stuck with me for a decade now. Thanks to everyone in the cast and crew for putting their all into a really good show. Thanks to everybody I've met in the community, who've also inspired me to continue writing and doing what I love.

Keep Beach City Weird!

Just watched Hazbin Hotel for the first time and having sooo many feels

Adore the characters they created. Also after my prior hyperfixations of Yuri!!! on Ice and Heartstopper, this show feels SHOCKINGLY mature lmfaoooo. Like did y'all just say CUNT 20 times??? ?? ???

Adore the cast, the drawing/designs, pretty much everything. The aesthetic at first reminded me of Spinel singing "Other Friends" from Steven Universe (I think bc Alastor is so radio coded)

I cried a lot with the redemption arcs, the ideas of good/bad, and I think because of some Christian trauma I had. I found myself ENRAGED by Adam and realized it's related to Xtian trauma and male supremacy in the religion I was raised in, even in the 12 step groups I'm a part of now/meetings I go to that are more male dominant. There's so many ppl would be like "of COURSE Adam is in heaven" even tho he was sadistic, cruel, calls women bitches, etc etc - and never be questioned for his behavior- while others are expected to go to hell and nobody questioned it. The entire idea of angels/those in heaven not knowing WHY they are there was very powerful

Man the character of Angel Dust made me cry a lot...like a lot

Absolutely gagged at the last episode and the twists and turns oh my god

LOVE the character of Lucifer and the line "you like girls, we have that in common, great to meet you Maggie, hugggg" lmfaooooooo he's so awkward

Wish Vaggie had short hair all the time, looks so much better

Kinda bummed the one lesbian couple is confirmed to think kink is gross canonically - although maybe this is just the version angel dust promotes and arguably he's fuckin going thru it and likely has sadly skewed ideas abt consent- but FFS A WLW COUPLE AS THE HEADLINERS OF THE SHOW? And they're so unabashedly in love and sweet - wtf

very curious about the deals made/how ppl sell their souls in this can't wait to learn more lore

Really enjoy the character of Husk- how he turned Angel Dust down, called him out etc

Loser Baby is SUCH a good song, I had to sing it today before work as a therapist. I hope that gives you some slice-of-life lol

SO EXCITED FOR SEASON 2 WHOA

Avalanche Shipping Evidence Post

These two have been on my mind so much recently. I have to write this down somewhere or I swear I'm going to explode. In this this post I will go over ever instance I've seen throughout the series of these two being in love, because this ship is everything. Without further ado, here we go:

Ep. 24: Sidian tries to keep Coral out of potentially dangerous mission.

Ep. 25: Sidian scold Coral for putting herself in danger + She doesn't even seem mad at him this time. Nice foreshadowing of their dynamic with Sidian having Garganacl catch Glalie.

Ep. 27: Sidian continues to scold her for putting herself in danger

Ep. 27: Coral wants him to play with her + She always just following what he says during the meeting. That way she looked over at him was super cute

Ep. 43: Sidian is in ultimate protective boyfriend mode. He worries about her so asks her to go undercover. He worries again and goes to check on her when she takes too long. He worries yet again and drags her away before she can get in trouble with Spinel. Plus he joins in on the fun halfway through. Also he didn't deny it when she called herself cute.

Ep. 43: Coral literally invited him out to go with her to get cookies. She seemed pretty happy when he decided to join the battle. And that power couple pose when they got serious.

Ep. 44: Sidian once again looking out for her by trying to keep her out of trouble. Even gives a "the things I do for her" headshake.

I'll maybe come and update this list as more episodes come out but that's it for now. God these two are so tsundere.

[bpd-blorbo-bracket]

hi it's zongzi anon again (favorite food zongzi submitter who also recently remembered Vanitas and Harry Hook etc.) and i would absolutely love a follow-up bracket if you ever felt inclined to do so

also if the character you thought of last minute happened to be Amethyst i just wanted to let you know that that's GENIUS and it made me remember pearl also. because ohhhh my god that one episode where they were fighting over who got to fuse with garnet was. very BPD on BPD violence.

and i ALSO remembered Candace Flynn from Phineas and Ferb as well so. yeah it turns out that Most of my blorbos are guys that i would headcanon as having BPD which is not at all something I realized until I started submitting them, so thanks again for hosting this!!

(if you do end up deciding to make a follow up bracket I will gladly start working on propaganda for these guys too!!)

Oh hell yeah. I would love To do one if people really want one so I'll save this under #backupbracket and if anyone else agrees keep letting me know youd want more. if around the same amount of characters are wanting to be submitted I don't see why not

Also thank you. I totally meant to have her in anyway, because holy shit shes one of my faves and I can't believe I forgot when she's one of the characters I made the poll for. Amethyst, Pearl, and Lapis specifically are all ones I hcd the longest, with ruby and spinel making their own additions to the list by the end of the show and movie.

Amethyst reminds me a fuckton of how my symptoms presented in highschool and her arc made me feel one of the most seen in term of how I learned to navigate and work on those symptoms to make them more manageable.

And her relationship to Pearl reminds me in many ways of my relationship to my older sister. I also felt envious of how collected she was, until like amethyst, I realized how much of her "stuck up" nature was actually a defense against the traumas our parents left.

While I think of Amethyst and Pearl as less siblings and more roomates (sometimes to lovers) their general dynamic helped me rebuild my relationship by helping me work on my lashing out due to jealousy, so I'm always grateful to the show and these characters for that.

Anyway that's enough bpd lore about me haha, but tl:dr: Amethyst changed my life as a character who shared so many symptoms but with a satisfying arc, and I love her for it.

Sarah Stiles as Mimzy ...

...Now where do I know that-

Oh FUCK NO!

Worst possible thing that could've ever happened. Least favorite character in Hazbin Hotel officially clocked just for- No wait.... Okay . I think I just changed my mind in real time ...

Because I'm listening to "Drift away" off screen right now and without the association of this stupid cringe arse character that I never wanted to see or think about or have big name weebs in this fandumb who have no life or frame of reference outside of their next cartoon craze and harry potter try to associate with me again... (Spinel). Sarah's voice actually very pussy cunt cunt slay and I can see her voice actually working for Mimz.

I am also closing my eyes and re-imagining the song to be Mimzy singing about her and Alastor's failing sex life and it's hilarious.

"Here in the garden, let's play a game..."

"Come here Darling... And let Daddy show you how it's done!"

"Happily wondering, night after night, is this how it works? Am I doing it right?"

Girl, no. He's a self loathing, chubby chasing beanpole of a man who just used you to experiment with a latent stuffing fetish that he doesn't want admit that he has and although there are other controversial reasons why you should've probably been retired as a character the second Al was confirmed ace, and maybe that just happened because someone realized that it was controversial to have you as a coupling in the first place, so they chickened out and claimed he loved no one instead of fully committing to having him fuck a fat flapper chick like they should have ... You deserve so much better, girl.

Another good thing about having a Steven Universe cast member join the Hazbin Hotel cast I guess, is that the overlap in casting officially proves that ~"Criticals~ calling Hazbin things like shitbin, trashbin, and Hazmat are officially as unhinged, if not terminally more so, then the ~"Criticals"~ calling Steven Universe "Shitvin". 💀

I guess this means that petitprincess1 can officially kiss my body rolls now and I want all the gray faces who can't reach me to know that I am stuffing cheese fries into my mouth as I said that. Bitch. 💀

Oh... and specific to this casting news this also means that aside from making this one post about it, I will also be blocking getting overly excited about Sarah in the tags and cross posting for her previous work on a now long finished kids show just like I'm doing with all the posts in the tags about Jeremy Jordon because you all need to calm the absolute fuck down. 💀

Also, in the spirit of killing everyone's joy and being as unlikeable as Mimzy herself is in this fandom, this is my official announcement that I personally will not be fully accepting of having the word of god say that Alastor is ace or aroace until his sexuality is explicitly mentioned, shown,or explored within the canon text. Why? Because controversial or not I've always felt as though going from having Alastor being in love with the only fat character in the narrative back then to just loving no one at all as having this strange undercurrent of fatphobia to it to begin with even if it might've been someones well meaning attempt at fixing a problem and I love Mimzy, and since she's gonna be voiced by Sarah now and people are probably gonna make the inevitable angsty association between the song "Drift Away" and Almimzy as a pairing like I just the fucking did, the whole undertone of "I'm Ace because I didn't like fucking this fat chick" is just gonna become an even more glaring issue for as time goes on, even if it isn't there, unless we get a canonical explanation as to why Alastor is ace that doesn't have anything to do with their relationship. And even then, we still don't know how Mimzy will be treated by the narrative, let alone by Alastor, and there's still no guarantee that Al's aceness WILL be explicitly explored or if it's just gonna be another "Princess Marco Turdina" Situation, even if it's word of god this time round or not, and I can still respectfully disagree with some aspects of the way this is handled and interpret word of god in my own way. And some of you are like, militantly overprotective of a fictional serial killer to the point where you're past being obnoxious and it's become concerning and you're probably gonna throw a tantrum for being dissatisfied with what you get anyway and end up dropping the show, so...

I'm not sorry that for Al and all his boys and his girls and his Mimzy, I just choose love ... Bye! 🤭🌹 X.O
