Wargh, I'm hyped (despite the negative things), I'm deep in that rabbit hole (again) and I have nobody here to talk about my obsession with a mobile game 🥲 I even thought about creating a Duskwood/Moonvale Forum. So I'm here, scrolling through tumblr, especially yours, trying to become part of the fandom community 😅 It's good to know, that you're still here, I followed you for a long time, without being brave enough to contact you.

The last days I had many people telling they never were brave enough to contact me or to reach out or interact in any other way. I can understand this feeling very well, I think I almost never reached out to someone out of fear to bother them or be weird or make them feel uncomfortable in any way. Most of the time I'm just to insecure.

If anyone of you feels like this with me, please don't. Easier said than done, I know. But really, no one ever has to worry about bothering me or anything. And I would never think that you're weird or whatever. Trust me. When people want to talk to me.. most of the time it sounds so unbelievable to me because I'm like "Why would anyone talk to me?" So, every ask or comment or whatever I get makes me the happiest person on earth because to me, it's just wonderful when I see people liking what I just said or they want to talk to me about specific things or similar.

So please, never hesitate to reach out, okay? I'm here and I want to see the fandom and all of you. You're kind and amazing and I mean, we all love Duskwood. So we already have a huge thing in common. :)

I won't lie tho, I'm super bad with DMs, which is never due to anyone of you. It's just my problem with communication and the strength to answer you. Not because I don't want to, but because if I answer, I want to give a good answer and I want to put effort into it. Sometimes that gets into my way and makes me hesitant. Because even if you reach out to me, and maybe you're afraid to bother me or something, I also fear to come over as weird or anything. So, if you're nervous, don't worry, I'm as well. Hehe. 💚

And I actually know you're following since a longer time. Every time I see you I recognise you, your name and profile picture. And I'm always happy see people coming back and are still interested in the game and also in the fandom. For me, it's a great thing and of course, this fandom will welcome everyone as long as you're kind. (You are, heh) But I mean in general. I've never experienced anything else here before.

So if you want to post yourself or only interact with blogs I'm 100% everyone will appreciate it and is happy to have you with them.

And welcome back in the rabbit hole, I'm waiting for all of you to arrive, we have lots of space in here and some chinese food, as long as you like it, haha.

So, of course, you're welcome to share your thoughts and to talk about the game with me. I'm also happy about it and I'm sure I will enjoy it. 💚

And I'm also glad you decided to send the ask now. Since you say you were not brave enough before, it's nice that you overcame this feeling. It's a huge thing and you can be proud of that. 💚

I thank you very much for your time and your lovely words. This ask already was enough to make me happy. And I hope you will have a wonderful day/evening/night! 💚💚💚

hiii darling~ I've missed you so much <3

HA JUST KIDDING, well I mean, I have missed you, but not like that. Did you know I get sad when you don't answer me fast enough, I feel like you don't love me anymore :( you still love me right? Platonically of course but like, you do love me? I think I'd go crazy if you didn't, it'd send me right over the edge, gosh the things I'd do, people I might hurt if that were to happen.

But it's ok it's all good, cause you'd never forget to message me back right? :3c

Forever and always, your best friend, Heart 🫀

Of course I love you Heart! You're the bestest friend in the whole wide world! 💗 Your messages never fail to brighten my day, and I look forward to them all the time. I promise to always answer your messages since, like I said you're my pookie bestie hehe. 💓💝💞💕💖💗

Hello. I want to know why you don't like Rhaenicent. When I say that it doesn't make sense that Rhaenyra and Alicent are romantically attracted to each other, people call me homophobic 😑 and I'm not homophobic I just Don't See It..they together. Laenyra on the other hand, it makes sense.

Haha, sure, I can talk a little about that. (I mean, I hope based on the content of this blog *gestures* it is vastly clear that I am not homophobic 😂)

Gotta clarify though, I don't dislike Rhaenicent per se. It is more like I am generally rather ambivalent about that ship, and won't go out of my way to engage with it.

I'll put my main response under the cut because it runs a little long:

That said, the main Rhaenicent doesn't quite work for me is that the show spends very little time on the period of time when they aren't actively at odds. And during the time when they actually spend non-hostile time together, Rhaenyra's like...fourteen? I could see Rhaenyra having an inchoate crush on Alicent during that period of time, but I have a hard time buying that those feelings at fourteen can stand up to the years (decades?) of acrimony that eventually ensued.

On Alicent's side, I don't really see her being romantically interested in Rhaenyra during the period of time that they spent together. If I recall correctly, Alicent was seventeen at the beginning of the show, and already expected to have to deal with politics and marriage, etc. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra is only starting to develop awareness of all these very serious adult problems and still retains a spoiled streak of her childhood. Despite only a three year difference, they are at very different phases of life at that point, and I don't think Alicent really has the bandwidth/presence of mind then to be romantically attracted to Rhaenyra as such.

And afterwards...well they spend most of the show outwardly hating each others' guts and doing truly hurtful things to each other. Hardly a great recipe for romance, I'd say. I read most of the conciliatory scenes between Rhaenyra and Alicent (e.g. family dinner, Alicent insisting Rhaenyra not be harmed, that page from the book) as their nostalgia for simpler times, and residual affection for a close childhood friend that doesn't necessarily shade into romance.

If Rhaenyra and Alicent had more time to grow up together not at odds, would they be convincing as a romantic ship to me? Probably. But from the snapshots of their relationship that the show showed us, I have a hard time seeing it as romantic without inserting maybe 300k words of fix-it and trauma processing before I can even vaguely see the possibility of romance.

To be honest, House of the Dragon in general is not a particularly shippy show for me. This is, after all, the fucked up politics and internecine warfare show, while my taste in romantic ships tends to towards those that are less...emotionally fraught.

Yo! Got a silly multi prompt for ya! Reader and the hazbin/helluva are on a date, they've been dating for a long while now, when BAM! Reader is on the floor! ON ONE KNEE! There has been no discussion of marriage so this is completely out of left field!

Anyway, it turns out that reader had just accidentally dropped a piece of jewellery on the floor and knelt down to grab it.

If you want it to be extra spicy then maybe it WAS a ring that reader ended up holding, just one that slipped off of readers own finger instead of being a standard engagement ring.

𝐎𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐊𝐧𝐞𝐞.ᐟ

⋆｡ﾟAccidentally dropping your ring during an anniversary dinner leads to some misunderstandings ﾟ｡⋆

— Vox, Loona, Lucifer, Lute

Vox watches you get on one knee with panic and all but flings himself out of his chair to kneel in front of you and pull out a ring box. He was not about to let you beat him to the punch, especially after he took so long to pick out the perfect ring. But when he realized that you were only picking up your napkin he blushes and tries to play it off like this was his plan the entire time.

Loona immediately freezes as you drop down to the ground. She’s watching you like a hawk, sweating underneath her fur and hoping that her dad didn’t follow you guys this time. When you sit back down and show her the fork you dropped, she instantly relaxes. No way is she ready to commit to something like marriage, so why was she a little disappointed?

Lucifer gasps so loud it makes you pause in picking up your ring. His eyes shine with tears and he looks so genuinely excited that you decided, fuck it, and proposed to him with your ring. You hope he never finds out you didn’t actually plan on proposing because it would crush him, but marrying him actually sounds wonderful.

Lute watches you kneel down with confusion, her heart beating a little faster at the idea that you could be proposing to her. But she notices the laces on your shoe are untied and deflates a little. Honestly she kinda liked the idea of marrying you, so much so that she might just have to go ring shopping later. Maybe Adam can help her.

This has been in my drafts for a while uhhhhh😅

Headcanons for what Valentino, Angel Dust, Asmodeus, and Fizzarolli are like on dates? - Platypus anon

YESYESYESYESYESSSS

How Valentino, Angel Dust, Asmodeus, and Fizzarolli are on dates

Angel Dust

- He’s gonna SPOIL YOU.

- There’s two different kinds of dates he’ll take you on—it’ll either be a big drag show that he takes you to, or just a chill bar or movie date.

- You guys are getting dolled up. Case and point.

- Super affectionate. He’s yours and you’re his, he doesn’t give a fuck!!

- As long as he has you by his side, he’s not letting anyone boss you two around.

- Cherri isn’t a third wheel exactly, but she’s a killer wingman! It’s always a good time when the three of you get together. She knows your boundaries, and you know hers.

- You two definitely run the town on date nights. Whatever trouble you two get into is just apart of the fun.

- Shopping sprees together!!

Valentino

- Another one that’ll spoil you!!!

- Anything you want, you get. No questions asked.

- Expect the vibe to be off the entire time lmao

- Sugar Daddy. That’s it, that’s the headcanon

- He’ll probably try to talk you into a really sketchy deal half way through. Don’t push your luck.

- BUT, if it makes it any better, he does sometimes show genuine interest in what you’re saying! He knows how to turn his charm on.

- He’s a bit distant- like, when you want something he just does it. No additional comments.

- The more you ask for, the more you’re gonna have to do to pay him back, so make the most of it lmfao

Asmodeus

- I’m stating to see a pattern. I think all of these guys are the type to spoil,,

- Sugar Daddy BUT. Complete opposite of Valentino.

- Instead of just getting people to wait on your hand and foot while he stares creepily, he’s gonna be absolutely PAMPERING you!

- He loves to see you happy, no matter the cost!

- Definitely taking you shopping, no questions asked.

- He’s by no means an obsessive perfectionist, but he does want everything to be perfect for you.

- And, it will be whatever you consider to be a perfect date. From movie nights at home to expensive dinners, he wants you to know how much he cares.

- After everything is said and done, you two go home and cuddle. Not only is he super warm and cozy, but he’ll make you a lovely breakfast in the morning!!

Fizzarolli

- Oh boy, you two are gonna get into some trouble!

- Make sure to dress nice if you’re going out! The paparazzi will be on your ass.

- You two are for sure blowing Mammon’s money on some random shit.

- Definitely taking his quievies (I think that’s what they’re called?? The fucked up chihuahuas) with you two on occasion!!

- Anywhere you want to go, you two are going. Perks of being famous.

- He would totally wink at you during big performances. He can’t take his eyes off you, and everyone knows it.

- You’re going rollerskating, along with other activities like that.

- He spends forever getting ready, but he always looks amazing, so can you blame him?

Sad that HB can't break barely get over 10M, while Digital Circus gets 3 or even 10 times more than that

[brdfcker]

I really dislike stolitz too and feels like it’s being forced into our throats at this point.. the show isn’t about IMP anymore but it’s about a toxic relationship with side characters sometimes . I really miss some of the themes in season 1 where they actually do their job and hunt people

Why even bother making those apology tour and whatever episodes of they’re gonna end up together again ? Ugh 🤦

Also what does self shipping mean?

Ugh, yes! I completely agree!

First of all, I’m sorry for not replying to this sooner, I’ve had some funky things happen recently that has left me sort of down in the dumps. Anywho, I totally level with you on this.

The plot points of the first season have basically been tossed aside. The show now feels like it’s being written by a horny teenager who just discovered Wattpad for the first time. It’s so infuriating! All of the characters - especially the female leads - had so much potential. At this point they’re just figures of glory to boost the dumpster fire of toxic yaoi that has become the focal point of the show. Don’t even get me started on the finale of season two…

For your second part, self-shipping basically just means shipping yourself or a version of yourself with a fictional character! Me personally, I prefer to use my sona or an OC to self-ship, but everyone does it differently. There’s truly no right or wrong way to self-ship!

Thank you so much for your questions! Peace and love :)

Was thinking about The Iron Trial and wow. The Magisterium just really, fully, legally, whole-heartedly kidnapped Call, didn't they

[marley-manson]

what evidence do you have that bj and hawkeye are only friends because they are "trapped in an army base" and "hawkeye doesn't have any better options"?

tbf I didn't say they're only friends because they're trapped on an army base, I said BJ only gets away with his late season shit because they're trapped on an army base. That said, I do think if they'd met anywhere else, like at a medical conference, they wouldn't have become friends, and yeah the way they clash in the later seasons, I don't think they'd stay friends if Hawkeye wasn't stuck with him.

My evidence is:

Hawkeye describing BJ as a good clean-cut family man and adding "Despite that, I really like the guy," in Our Finest Hour, indicating that on a surface level they're not that compatible. On a deeper level of incompatibility, you have episodes like Preventative Medicine where they clash on a deep ethical level and don't reconcile their points, they simply choose to drop the argument. You also have their respective attitudes to hardship as highlighted in later seasons - BJ "saves [his] pshaws for things he can do something about," and largely remains passive give or take moments of sudden lashing out (eg the end of Back Pay) when he loses his self control, while Hawkeye is always acting on his feelings as much as possible whether he can affect change or not, because it helps him not feel helpless. BJ derides and mocks this attitude (calling him crazy in Back Pay and Tell it To the Marines, calling his tongue depressor tower pointless in Depressing News, etc) and Hawkeye ignores him and does what he needs to do anyway. They do not help each other see eye to eye or meet in the middle, they simply clash and do their own thing.

More headcanony, but I also think they're incompatible emotionally, in that Hawkeye wants people to open up to him and spill their feelings, and BJ is one of the characters most allergic to doing that, and almost never supports Hawkeye when he wants to talk about his feelings (Blood and Guts, Depressing News, GFA, etc). They have a very uneven relationship where Hawkeye is BJ's emotional support whenever BJ snaps, but BJ ditches Hawkeye when Hawkeye just needs his emotional support (this is what "Would you hold me in your arms or would you let me lie there and bleed?" is about), and I think BJ tries to make up for this with big gestures, but Hawkeye is more about the day to day support and solidarity with each other.

There's also the intensity of the rebound vibe in Welcome to Korea part 1 where Hawkeye refocuses on BJ after moping about Trapper and seems to deliberately explore how compatible they can be as friends - the babysitter comment to suss out whether he'd be a partner in womanizing, his willingness to break rules and flout authority, his sense of humour. BJ passes, so Hawkeye accepts him. It feels calculated because Hawkeye needs a replacement Trapper. ("We need to get him started on his ulcer," as potential evidence of Hawkeye wanting him to be Trapper 2.0)

BJ's attitude throughout season 4, in which he stamps out his own reactions and feelings to align himself with Hawkeye. The Bus has a thread of a battle of wills between Hawkeye and BJ over whether or not to include Frank, which Hawkeye wins. In Hey Doc he also wants Hawkeye to be nicer to Frank, but in the rest of the season he's right there with Hawkeye making fun of him. In The Gun BJ stands respectfully when Margaret comes to their table and Hawkeye glares at him disapprovingly, so then BJ turns it into a joke, seemingly correcting his own behaviour.

Wheelers and Dealers characterizes BJ as resentful in a way that makes him passive aggressive, which rings very true to his character to me. In Wheelers and Dealers he bemoans being so nice and passive and lashes out. "Who cares about what they want, I'm doing what I want for a change." This obviously says that he buries parts of himself to make nice with people habitually, as part of how he interacts with people, and I think you can see him doing it with Hawkeye early on.

You also have episodes like Heroes and Stars and Stripes where BJ alternately mocks Hawkeye for getting the spotlight and lords his own spotlight over Hawkeye, because he's insecure and presumably feels overshadowed by Hawkeye.

This is all to support my take that BJ moulds himself to suit Hawkeye because they're not intrinsically all that compatible as people, and he resents being the one to do that. So later BJ lashing out with mean pranks and psychological warfare (Bottoms Up, Dear Uncle Abdul, Joker Is Wild, what feels to me like negging in No Laughing Matter, etc) and ditching/mocking Hawkeye when he's upset about something (Back Pay, Depressing News, Give Em Hell Hawkeye, Blood and Guts, etc) is a response to that resentment when he feels more secure in Hawkeye putting up with it.

I think BJ would probably mould himself to fit anyone he wants to be friends with, but I don't think if given the option, he'd choose to be friends with Hawkeye. He disapproves of several things about Hawkeye even initially - his aforementioned lack of patience with Frank, his rampant sexuality (eg he does disapprove of Hawkeye sleeping with Carlye in The More I See You, and you also have several instances of BJ making fun of Hawkeye when it comes to his attitude towards sex, eg Taking the Fifth, Inga). And I don't think Hawkeye would choose to be friends with a monogamous married suburbanite if they weren't forced together right after Hawkeye lost his last war zone bff.

My evidence for Hawkeye only putting up with BJ's late season attitude because he's trapped is that he tries to put his foot down multiple times and fails because a) the 4077 is a very small world, and b) BJ needs his emotional support in a war zone. And every time he comes back they don't address what they fought over or discuss it or reconcile it, they simply drop it because they're reliant on their friendship.

In Ain't Love Grand he sleeps in the front office but comes back to share good news with BJ and emotionally support him. In The Most Unforgettable Characters they drop the fight because it upsets Radar without addressing why they were fighting. In Picture This Margaret manipulates Hawkeye into going back to BJ by lying about BJ needing his support. In The Joker is Wild and Bottoms Up Hawkeye mildly pranks BJ back in a tag and calls them even even though he's taking a loss.

It's also worth noting that Hawkeye hates BJ's friend Leo's extremely weaponized style of pranking. He's fine with shit like exploding cigars, not fine with him getting BJ court martialed. BJ is fine with it and thinks it's funny, which strikes me as another unaddressed incompatibility that feeds into the vibe of BJ's pretty intense psychological warfare later on, which Hawkeye is generally upset by rather than seeing it as all good fun.

And in GFA they both initially intend to leave without seeing each other again, BJ trying to leave a week early despite knowing his travel orders are sus and without saying goodbye or leaving a note, and Hawkeye expecting and ecstatic to be flown home when released from the hospital only to be ordered back to the 4077 for one more week. Also in GFA Hawkeye says goodbye for good, fully expecting to never see BJ again and sad about it but accepting.

Oh also the fact that Welcome to Korea is structured as a series of horrible things happening in a war zone that bond them together through shared trauma is another piece of strong evidence for the reading that being in a warzone together and needing each others' support is why they become friends, when otherwise they might not look twice at each other.

Ultimately you can take all this stuff and also interpret it as two guys who fall in genuine love/intense friendship and put up with each other because of that, but I think there's more than enough evidence that them being trapped together in hell is a major reason they become and stay friends, and imo it's a solid reading of their relationship, and also infinitely more interesting to me.

[prof-ramses]

Since Full Moon is out, what are your feelings regarding the episode and how it may affect things going forward?

For real, I'm currently working on a proper review, but in short, this is the most consistently good episode of the season, it doesn't have the best moments, but it also far surpasses the worst season 2 has had so far.

[silentstaresfanficandfanart]

Ciero and Amor with matching Valkyrie outfits!

It just looks funny that way.

Ciero does NOT appreciate this at all-

Heartbreaker thinks this outfit is a vibe-

thank you for the ask!

DARLING~ GUESS WHO'S BACK FROM JAAAIIIIILL

Did you know I have been thinking about you all day, like nonstop? I'm just can't stop thinking about how everybody else gets to interact with you, be your friend, talk to you. IT'S NOT FAIR!

I should be the only person you talk to! Don't you love talking to me? Am I not good enough anymore? Cause I can be good enough, I can be whatever you need me to be. All I ask is that you stop wasting time on pathetic nobodies. They mean nothing to us, they're pathetic.

You're lucky I didn't do anything to any of them, cause I sure thought about it, I thought about a lot of things I could do. But I didn't, cause I love you and know it would make you mad, and I don't want you to be mad at me. I don't want you to be anything except happy <3

With all the love my pathetic, damaged blood pusher can produce ~ Heart 🫀

Hello dear!

I hope jail treated you well hehe, I missed you lots! I also think about you all day friend! But you're different than my other friends I can assure you, you're my BEST friend and no one will change that :3 They all pale in comparison to you! I love your messages and I love everything about you! So no need to worry Heart 🫀!

[xluciifer]

What if I said I thought about coming back?

What then?

Do y'all miss your little slice of Lucifer trouble and Luci love?

Multi prompt ask: they're just chilling and flirty joking with reader when reader just jokingly drop that if they were to sleep together then they'd totally dom their ass, reactions?

𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐩.ᐟ

⋆｡ﾟJokingly saying you’ll top them leads to some realizations ﾟ｡⋆

— Verosika, Vox, Beelzebub, Velvette

Verosika is genuinely caught off guard by the joke, not having anyone say something like that to her. She’s used to having a semblance of control in the bedroom, being a succubus and all, so having someone say they wanted to top her? To focus on her pleasure? Makes her blush and ask you to prove it.

Vox laughs, thinking your joke was just that, a joke. But when you raise an eyebrow at him and he realizes you’re serious? He short circuits so bad that you have to reboot him. When he wakes up though, he’s instantly pushing you on your back and telling you that if you want to top him you’ll have to earn it.

Beelzebub laughs loudly before grabbing your arm and pulling you to somewhere more private. She likes your straightforwardness and tells you to show her what you got. You do just that, fucking her so good she sees stars, and she decides that maybe she’ll keep you around.

Velvette just stares at you, trying to figure out just how serious you were. No one has ever said anything like that to her before, always assuming she preferred to top. When it turns out you were in fact very serious, she smirks straddles your lap, and tells you to do your worst.

The girls and Vox lol

[askthefizzyfactory]

Hey Fizzies! Did you come with those colors originally or changed them later on?

$ — As for myself, I used to look just like the standard fizzbot, save for a decorative monocle to show that I was an office-model. I've changed pretty much everything about myself since then. Being the manager has its perks.
