While playing my Melly WoL I'm thinking hard about her story, both the original novels I've written 1000 drafts of since I was 12, and how to wrangle the basic facts into her being a WoL...

She's a mermaid princess (able to walk on land with ease and eventually choice of transformation), because that's always been a part of her story one way or another, though if I ever manage to write far enough to get there I will have to not call it Atlantis like I did in the 12 year old me's drafts. Ugh, original names? And thankfully we do have a whole bunch of lore about undersea auri folks living in their bubbles and even having royalty for this OC WoL business. So she and Kurenai are already set up to be cousins with a pleasant if slightly stiff and formal relationship. You know, forced to socialise at events. Never really understood each other even if they also are the most alike of any of their peoples, which can really foster misunderstanding and confusion MORE than not getting someone at all...

In the stories she has a fail-wizard bestie who to be perfectly honest Galvin is already somewhat like because I have a stock rota of characters I put in all my stories, as we all do, so I guess if I'm committing to Melly being defined enough as a WoL character she can exist in Galvinverse, as his really prickly, exhausted bestie. Maybe this is what Galvin has been missing all this time. Maybe we can fix him.

Ardbert most fits her love interest in terms of personality even if he's a sword guy not an axe guy (MELLY is the Axe Guy in this relationship, it's the start and end of her personality though I am talking about character dynamics here not her other Mary Sue powers), and I'm thinking more of Alive!Ardbert than the one we interact with :P In any case, the tragedy of WoLbert shipping has been consuming me as I played through ShB over the last month.

6.4 has made me start thinking wildly while I have been zoned out doing level 34 reaper rotation in levelling roulette. So. We are able to give Themis a whole bunch of aether to keep that memory of him alive. And he owes us one on the Ardbert front. If Melly has been THAT attached to Ardbert, she's forthright enough to just tell him (also to not do that dance with Lahabrea not telling HIM what he did >:)) so Themis, knowing Melly and understanding what he personally did to her in the future, ALSO has a connection to Ardbert within her. Blah blah aetheric signatures or something. I think he could probably reach within her and draw him out and drain a bunch more of her aether into drawing out a stable Ardbert from her similar to what Athena did making their memory forms, but stronger and stable because he's still very much part of her soul but also finally free to be a guy and walk around talking to people and wear different clothes and whatever. Hold her hand :) MAYBE GROW OLD TOGETHER? In any case I'm looking forward to that for her.

Melly also fits really perfectly into FFXIV because her story is set in a unstably high fantasy world (i.e. lots of modern elements bleed in despite the overall surrounds, creatures, magic etc being high fantasy). She can wear jeans and fight dragons in both. But it's also got a ton of city states people can be rulers of as well, and since her basis has always been in playing with all the big fantasy tropes there's so much OTT drama over things, I've decided this is the perfect reason to crack out my old favourite: Estinien as the initially or perpetually unknowing true heir to the throne of Ishgard, who should NEVER actually be given it on account of him not wanting it and feeling quite rightly like it would be a terrible idea. Which would just make it very funny that Melly knows this about him and is doing everything in her power to prop up Aymeric in power for the sole reason of protecting Estinien from Ishgard and Ishgard from Estinien, on account of the complete brainrot that people would get in the city if even a whiff of a rumour of a long lost heir of the first Azure Dragoon and unwilling prince of Ishgard being around ever got out. I mean, he would never set foot in Dravania, Coerthas or maybe even The Black Shroud ever again just for good measure XD

... anyway just typing up some things about Melz because it's honestly hilarious that this is the one place my online presence hasn't centred entirely around her existence and I think of her daily even before I got back to levelling her as a WoL, and just playing Warrior has been enough to get me redrafting her story in the past :P

Elesa’s feeling homesick. Emmet, bless his heart, tries to help by infodumping while Ingo frantically runs off to find water (crying is a very dehydrating experience).

((Would you look at that! The kids are picking up kantonese and galarian from each other!))

Heh. Callback.

the tiny, inside the walls, hyping themself up: It’s totally fine. Everything I’ve seen from this human shows that they’re kind, level headed, and normal. There’s utterly nothing wrong with this human, and I can totally befriend them! I shouldn’t be scared at all!

the tiny: *peeks out hole in the bathroom wall, looking up at the giant before them*

the giant, in front of the bathroom sink, obliviously doing their nightly routine: *removes their dentures*

the tiny, has no concept of what dentures are, who just saw this behemoth remove all the bones and flesh from its own mouth in one swift pull, without a flinch of pain: what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

I have been dealing with how much some people hate Gambit for TEN YEARS and one of these days (not today) I am finally going to snap and pull this story. TEN YEARS. TEN HUMAN YEARS.

you ever wonder if the Glamrocks's face tracking acts up when they look at Glamrock-Freddy, like they'll look at his face, and the recognition will register as Freddy, but their systems for whatever reason or another think that there is a face overlapped on Freddy's do you think they see two small squares next to him, at his side, roughly child sized, but no one is physically there.... right...?

Wait batsplat wdym Casey messaging Vale about his daughter.......

(follow up on this) yeah! I don't really have massively more to add to this except that valentino definitely said it. I was lazy and just pulled up one of the few (poor quality) english websites that posted it but the quotes were widely reported in italian sources and are originally from here (whole interview from early 2022 is worth a read)

"often sends me messages"... often...

while we're at it, casey obviously said a bunch of stuff around the time of valentino's retirement (and in the years since), some fairly nice some rather less so. but one of the things he said was this:

now, personally I doubt this dinner is something that has happened or indeed would happen, not least because I'm not sure valentino would be particularly interested in relitigating past events with casey. "at peace with himself" is the right way to put it, and at the end of the day that's always been a rivalry that has considerably more emotional baggage for casey than it does for valentino. but, I mean, maybe he'd be curious what casey would have to say! can someone ask casey about this again? can someone ask valentino? are they still messaging each other? do they want to schedule the dinner date? can somebody let me sneak into the dinner date so I can listen into what they discuss? why are no journalists or indeed podcast hosts asking them about any of this? why do they refuse to do their jobs properly? the people need to know

Relationship Status: Poly, married (commitment/ceremony only can’t legally marry where I live), and not super fussed (personally) about finding more dates/people to add to it. I can’t even joke about needing a sugar daddy I’m just not cut out for that I’m too aro-ace

Current Obsession: U h….. being alive. Jkjk I just chewed through all the available chapters of Greatest real Estate Developer, it took me a while to suck up and read ‘the popular thing’ cos i thought it was gonna be like other infinite power up fantasy Story-Book Isekai’s but it’s actually really charming- the artist, adaptor, AND author are all having a really good time working on the series from the ‘extras’ they posted and the expressions are………. Well if I ever get around to posing the stuff I have in mind you’ll see the influences I’m sure. 🫣 …. Also I’m still super obsessed with FFXIV and all my blorbs- rn the spotlight is flickering a lil tho cos I gotta clench my jaw and just take the time to do some work in blender instead of playing the game and spinning the camera real fast around my beans cos my beans are still BROKEN lol. I gotta find a way to update Lev’s skin and Mochiie needs to be rebuilt from the ground floor still basically.

Last thing in my search history: ………….

Red Guy being deluded with his crush on Duck is equally funny, me thinks

Just this feral full on rabies man Duck who commits war crimes and Red’s delusional ass goes “he is so dreamyyyyy ❤️❤️❤️”

HE'S GOT THEEE WORST TASTE AND I WILL STAND BY THAT FOREVER.

Like, Red has got his issues, but you could see why people would like him. Sooo many people have/had a crush at him at one point it's unreal. NO ONE FEELS THAT WAY ABOUT DUCK GDGDF

THERE'S SO MUCH WRONG WITH HIM... FOR GODS SAKE LOOK AT HIM.

look at his PANTS LEG

this is a notice that yes there were two ju's in the jojo fandom , as we both have changed our aliases . quite frankly it's none of anyone else's business what i go by now but i was ju from 2018 , i ran marineborn , bubblebursted , this blog mostly and a few other off hand canon muses . i'm the one of the people who made a post about someone , who for five years straight can't get me out of their head and that's fine . the issue is , its affecting someone who has nothing to do with the situation at hand , the second ju who now goes by Gross . underneathe will be various screenshots to prove this fact as well as continuous incorrect assumptions .

tumblr ims from both sides .

underneathe are calls that we shared . i have censored my discord pfp for my privacy but left my username as proof . and what Gross' Ju stand for is censored as that is their irl name .

underneathe is by no means a callout but simply the proof of false information being spread . i am not rossest , that is Gross , leading to confusion and Gross being mistreated .

Light spoilers for TDI 2024 by the start of episode 5 (and technically also TDI '23's finale)

Please tell me Axel-Ripper ends up as a more important ship than Caleb-Priya. I know it's a shot in the dark, but wow is it more interesting than what's quickly looking like one of the biggest finalist derailments in Total Drama history and a floundering attempt at a new Justin arc.

What began as a friendship between Ann and Abraham [Lincoln] turned at some point into romance. They shared an understanding, according to friends, that they would marry after Ann completed her studies at the Female Academy in Jacksonville. Ann was only twenty-two in the summer of 1835. While New Salem sweltered through one of the hottest summers in the history of the state, a deadly fever, possibly typhoid, spread through the town. Ann, as well as several of Lincoln's friends, perished in the epidemic. After Ann's death, Abraham seemed "indifferent, to transpiring events," one neighbor recalled, "had but Little to say, but would take his gun and wander off in the woods by him self." Elizabeth Abell, a New Salem neighbor who had become a surrogate mother to Lincoln, claimed she had "never seen a man mourn for a companion than he did." His melancholy deepened on dark and gloomy days, for he could never "be reconcile[d]," he said, "to have the snow—rains and storms to beat on her grave." Acquaintances feared that he had become "temporarily deranged," and that unless he pulled himself together, "reason would desert her throne."

goddamn. fuckin bleak period in mr sixteenth president's life
