Hi hiiiiii!!! I just wanna say i love ur oc’s so much, they live rent free inside my head like a growing necrosis!! Ever since u dropped the character trivias for Lavi and Elias I cant stop thinking about an AU with the game Catherine for Elias and Lavi but like with a lil twist to itt (the twist being i cant properly remember the entire plot to Catherine, its been like a decade since i played it so i tweaked so much of the actual storyline to better fit the narrativeT-T) feel free to delete it if its too weird;;

TW: cheating, pregnancy, reader/mc is pregnant, ooc Lavi im sorry, Elias having a reasonable crashout, yandere behaviour, continuous affair, reader/Mc cheats, character death(?), misuse of commas and my terrible grammar really

—

Okay so Imagine this, whilst drinking out one day, trying to drown out the midlife crisis and potential worries about the future, you end up having a drunken one night stand with Lavi, this one night stand however snowballs into an affair as you end up sleeping with Lavi AGAIN.

You’re pregnant, and you’ve been in a relationship with Elias for 5 years, Elias is absolutely ECSTATIC to find out that you’re pregnant, and is even considering marrying you if you agree to it (you have no choice in the matter btw lol), so in order to plan for the baby (and wedding), Elias has been taking more and more modeling jobs to hopefully save enough for your future together.

This would’ve been a happy ending for both parties if you actually KNEW who the father was. Youve been rethinking your entire relationship with Elias for a while and whilst its good to feel loved and appreciated just for existing, Elias’ is just… he’s too much sometimes— well most times tbh.

Elias would kill you both, but he hasn’t suspected anything yet, and you plan to keep it that way because you’re thinking of ending things with Elias by the end of the month anyway,

until you can’t.

And you find yourself puking every morning, a worried Elias by your side at every step of the way, loving, understanding (?), pulling your hair back and dabbing away sweat from your face as you stay hunched over the toilet seat, and the guilt smashes into you like a truck, its debilitating—Elias loves you so much, cares for you (too) so much. The guilt should have set in sooner, you should be groveling at his feet begging for forgiveness, but you dont, instead you stay, and the affair continues, even when you don’t remember spending the night with Lavi (where they even at the bar last night?). Even when the test shows two lines. Even when Elias starts doing more work to provide for the two of you.

Maybe it’s guilt, maybe its your consciousness telling you you need to leave, to not subject Elias to a life chained up to someone who doesnt love them enough to stay faithful.

You end up having these weird nightmares where you have to fight for your life trying to escape a hellish landscape. You survive each night but always seem to end up waking up to Lavi on your bedside (you haven’t been outside, Elias hasn’t allowed you to go to work since the pregnancy test, you don’t remember telling Lavi your address either)

But one night, when you wake up from another nightmare, crying, shivering, Elias and Lavi nowhere in sight.

Impulsively, you end up calling Elias and tell him about the affair, how you don’t know who the father of the child is, how you’re sorry and how terrible you are and how it would be better if you just break up.

and as expected, he breaks down. asking you, demanding answers, crying, screaming, shouting, asking if you actually loved him, asking if the child is actually his, asking you why he wasn’t enough, how he knew you were acting weird, asking which fucker he has to kill to make everything work out. its guttural, the way he screams, shouts for answers.

You end up dropping the call. And Elias immediately spams your phone with missed calls until you end up blocking his number.

He’s coming for you, you know he will. And he does, not even an hour later, banging on the door. You worry about your neighbours hearing about all of this commotion, its 11pm, he should’ve been at home but he was still at work, should’ve spent this time relaxing and watching tv shows with you at saturday night, but instead he was still at work, working to support the both of you (even if a big part of you knew it wouldn’t have stopped him from coming anyway)

He’s banging on the door, and you have half a mind to grab the knife at the sink. He stops after what felt like an eternity, only to forcefully barge his way in by using his body to slam the door open.

Elias makes his way inside, immediately grabbing you by the shoulders, eyes red with tears as he looks at you with the most painstakingly hurt expression you’ve ever seen (you’ve seen it countless times before, but only this time its different, it’s it scarier, it feels like he might actually hurt you)

His eyes grows into slits, as you feel another arm snake behind you.

It’s Lavi.

You are so fucked.

Elias ends up lunging at Lavi, screaming, intent to kill, to get rid of the vermin homewrecker that ruined (whatever was left of) your relationship.

Lavi fights back, albeit without mentally damaging Elias in the process as he talks about how much time he spends with you, how he planned on taking you with him secretly behind his back, how the child is actually his and how he intends to take full accountability for it.

You watch as Elias screams reaching for something in the sink only for Lavi to laugh at him, taunting him, waving the knife in his hand hautily, simpering with a glint of malice in his eyes “Looking for this?”

You’re about as useful in this situation as a screen door to a submarine. And you know its in vain, but you scream at both of them to stop anyway. Crying as you fall to your feet, you feel like puking.

Elias freezes, breath hitching as he turns to you before the expression on his face falters, angered as Lavi continues, telling him that “he’s the reason you’re having such a hard time right now”, “how he has no business being a father when all he does is hurt you”.

Everything falls into a blur as the fighting continues,

it feels like forever but it does stop, and you hear someone slump on the floor.

and you find Elias on the floor, with the knife plunged into Lavi’s stomach.

I had to write it out the brainrot was killing me, had to write it out until the brain rot unrotted itself.

I do know i couldve done this darker and better but i cant write anymore i feel so rustyT-T if you see “them” instead “you” its because i originally wrote this with “Mc” and using “they/them” before changing it to explicit xreader

Rereading my writing realising it is so tellenovella coded oof

Holy shit anon I don't know how you did it but this might just be the most hellish possible scenario known to mankind. I'd honestly just end it right then and there, there's no getting out of this bermuda triangle ass dynamic we got going on here.

Like Lavi and Elias being in the same universe is already horrible, them liking the same person is even worse but darling CHEATING on one of them with the other??? I would just

Odile wakes up in a shop once more, and screams.

Her body, as usual, ignores her desires and continues to browse despite odile knowing the familytale is not here, and most likely doesn’t exist.

Odile doesnt know what happened, but one moment she was on her way to reunite Bonniface with their sister, snd the next they were trapped in this mockery of herself, in a universe that seems so reductive it hurts. They use terms that make no sense, and insults about said terms that make no sense based on her understanding.

Worse yet, she seems to be stuck in a version of siffrin’s loop, though they seem unaware (hopefully, sweet gems she hopes)

speaking of, here comes this abomination of a siffrin, wearing garish shades and an insulting shirt that her body seems to find humerous.

time passes, and they arrive at the clocktower to find Bonniface alone. This is by far odiles greatest relief and greatest horror: Bon remembers the loops, and seems to be her own Bonniface. They have tried throughout various loops to talk to you and the others, yet you find yourself unable to respond, to grab them and hold them and apologize for the hurtful thing you said dear god you’ve made Bonniface cry so much you feel dick you feel angry you wish to tear whatever did this into shreds so small-

Yes, it is safe to say Odile has mixed feelings, and she cannot do anything about it.

jesus christ how did you make it even more of a horror scenario. christ. stares on in horror is this the life all of the party is forced to live

i see that you're playing the JP server and do the translation by yourself, would you mind to describe Alfons's personality? I got understand he's a cat-like-person, but sometimes i couldn't grasp his personality pretty well

anyway, thankyou for your hardwork 🥰 i really love your tranlastions hehe

hii anon! first of all ty for reading my tls 🥺🫶 it rly means a lot to hear. i find it also can be a way to bring over paid content to those who may not be inclined to pay for it…i kinda feel its my way of contributing smth to the community a bit ig haha.

but as for als personality…hmm i kind of opted to go with an approach where i sorta write down my streamline thoughts as i go. so theres not much organization, but hopefully it can give a bit more insight, or smth to think abt! i will put under the cut, as there may be some minor spoilers below.

alfons mini essay ↓

i think he is sort of like a walking contradiction. he does things in the pursuit of his own pleasure, yet his actions always save others who r struggling. he wants to create distance and acts like he doesnt care, and yet he is deeply sensitive. he has no will to live, yet can’t bear to leave others alone. he pushes his views and philosophy onto others, yet he tries to be considerate…perhaps by doing exactly that.

he cant bear the pain, yet if anyone got hurt, he would rather it be himself than anyone else.

he is a hedonist, pursuing things that r pleasurable to himself. he has promiscuous relations with his “friends,” plays around at night, casts illusions within the slums, and drinks away the day and night. he likes fun, thrilling, dangerous games, and his sense of humor stems from his contradictions. but is he really doing all this for himself? to him, escapism is an essential part of life bc life is nothing but a tragedy. if you dont indulge in these pleasures, life will someday crush you. he himself learned tht the hard way and thats maybe why he is quite sensitive to others pain and suffering and wants to relieve them of it. (this is evident from elbie and als first meeting!)

he does it in a way where he can distance himself due to the nature of his curse. again, it all stems back to the mindset of “getting close to them will only hurt them more in the end” bc they will end up forgetting he had ever existed…but he understood and empathized what elbie was going through, and that was why he had stayed with him all these yrs. and even with liam, though he never really meddles deeply, he was able to observe how, when liam needed an illusion, he himself was never in them. in other words, a convenient illusion to liam was one where he was not in this world. and with kate, he knew that she was scared, so thats why he “kept her company” so to speak. but in the end, he cant save himself. he cant forget what he wants to forget, even though he can help others forget their pain, so he is also self-deprecating in that sense.

but, rly, if you stripped away all the outer lyrs, the complications due to his curse and his trauma, at his core he is a very kind and selfless person i believe.

so kind, so selfless, it borders on self-destruction.

HOLD UP

i have a theory i just figured out

i dont know if this means anything

but hear me out.

--------------------------------------------

so. in IGBP. the TV that sells 4 the keyboard CLEARLY looks different then Mr. Puzzzles, yet they are clearly the same character due to the theme song

however, we have no REAL reason that mr puzzles would want to cause IGBP

UNLESS

what if comes from a different computer

kinda like zero, niles one and two.

and he needed the PERFECT USB

to get to the mario 64 emulator

that would explain why he caused IGBP

AND

Why he and his family doesnt look like memes or nintendo characters

the video SMG4 was creation during IGBP

WAS MR PUZZLES NEW BODY

SO GET TO THEIR WORLD

Come right in to the pillow fort, pal ^^

And you got a theory? Hell yeah! yall already know those and ramblings are always encouraged on this blog. Let's see, so to sum things up, you're saying that Puzzles came from another computer (or universe if we're getting practical here) and needed 4 to make the perfect video/USB to make a new body to enter the SMG4 universe. (Hopefully I got it right, do correct me if I'm wrong.)

It is an interesting theory and it's pretty similar to a theory we've talked about before, of Puzzles possibly being a literal virus. Good times. Anyway, I'm actually pretty curious about this and wanted to know if you have a scene you'd like to point out or some screenshots. Otherwise, I think it's fun, though there might be a few holes in it.

(which I'm gonna leave it under "read more" cuz I would be yapping)

about Puzzles and her family "not looking like memes or nintendo characters" -> I know what you mean, but I beg to differ that it's only those two options. I mean, in the mix-match sandbox world of the SMG4 universe, not every character could fall under the meme or nintendo category, some are completely OG. And I'm sure some would debate that the characters used as a stand-in for past Puzzles & family are from known franchises. Really, the point is, I wouldn't say Puzzles' character design isn't out of the norm. (Well, is anything in the SMG4 universe normal? lol)

According to your theory, the timeline would be that "Puzzles existed in another device" then "IGBP happens" then "Puzzles entered the SMG4 universe". Again, hopefully I got it right. -> Now, correct me if I'm wrong but, wouldn't it contradict the Didney plot point? Didney existed in the SMG4 universe for years (not exclusively for WOTFI) long before we were introduced to Puzzles. And based on "Mr Puzzles' Clubhouse", the Didney World Puzzles took over to make it Puzzle Park was the same one Little Puzzles went to in the flashback. For that to happen, Puzzles would have to exist IN the SMG4 universe way before IGBP, which is contradictory to the timeline you're proposing.

About the perfect video/USB being used to be Puzzles' new body for existing in the SMG4 universe -> the perfect video, from personal research, is pretty powerful. If you think about it, if 4 uploaded that video, he won't have to work again. It's perfect after all, there will be nothing else that could meet its potential, and literally everyone would watch it. And worse, 4 would accidentally cause the death of creativity, for other creators unable to continue on their own projects if everyone's focused on this perfect video. It's too powerful for its own good. If that is true, then Puzzles would have no reason to pursue the infamous "5 Stars". For the USB being that powerful, Puzzles would've gotten what she wanted a long time ago. It can't fail.

About Puzzles having no reason to cause IGBP -> Well, other than it being a horror/thriller parody and Puzzles believing that taking over 4's channel to "make them entertaining" would prove that she had creative vision after all, I think there's a reason. We may not know what happened from the point she took her head off up to IGBP, but let's think about it from another perspective: Puzzles from a young age were neglected by her family, her dreams and self-esteem were crushed at the same time. Being told that the only way she can achieve her wish to entertain is to have creative vision, which according to her father, she apparently doesn't have. It's why Puzzles locked herself in her room for years. Now, you might call Puzzles an unreliable narrator since the TV head part would go against your theory. It's kinda hard to believe that Puzzles would lie about such a grim thing to begin with. Regardless, Puzzles would have to find out about 4's channel after the event eventually, according to the "Creative Control" song. I mean, think about it from her perspective: she has seen, in her eyes, true entertainment through the TV and was about the need of creative vision to achieve her dreams, right? So then, here comes a YOUTUBER who does memes for a living. The surprising part is how 4 could reach the top at all, on how many viewers the channel's able to earn. Through memes? And to be able to have a content farm channel profiting of from 4's "success", you would have to be well off to be recognized like that. Now, Puzzles could argue that it's centralized in comedy, frankly the lowest tier. But to her, it doesn't add up for her, the math wasn't mathing. How could this stupid show, with barely any budget to work on nor that contains real entertainment, could possibly gain this much traction? It didn't make sense to Puzzles, it's almost laughable. She had to work through it all, she had to suffer. Then, how come 4 gets to have it all when she couldn't? To her, 4 doesn't deserve it if he didn't earn it. The truth is it wasn't for 4 either. He had his own battles and insecurities, his own in-universe audience doesn't even like him that much. Plus, his videos aren't just memes, they can be thrilling and action-packed. Emotional and inspirational. All 4 wants is to bring happiness to people's lives and does his work with absolute passion. He may be silly but he can be clever and strong in his own way. This is what Puzzles isn't able to see. And it's more than just jealousy btw, it's her self-worth and pain she went through as a child on top of it, and so many other layers. To prove what true entertainment is to go against the very person "humiliating" her. More like, confusing her. But certainly, Puzzles and 4 are more alike than they realize, two sides of the same coin. It only makes sense for Puzzles to go after 4, her narrative foil, to begin with.

(↑ and we got black psyche-locks for Puzzles, eh? sorry, just had to add in an ace attorney ref for any fans lurking around. I know a moot would get this haha)

Anyway, uh. I kinda got carried away there. But that is to say, it's a fun theory to think about but it kinda has its flaws that might contradict what's canon. That is not to say it's wrong; that's why it's called a "theory" and not a fact. It's why I like to encourage theories, it gets people thinking and invested in the show. (Or you have me yapping in my lil corner about every goop!4 hint lmao.) Not every theory's going to be a 100% perfect, but I think it's a nice start and I'm glad I could hear you out on it :)

thanks for the ask!

[downfall0fman]

what are your thoughts on born again?

My first ask!!! Thoughts on the first two episodes of Daredevil Born Again, spoilers ahead‼️

*deep breath* Okay so

Short answer: I am really enjoying it so far! I’ve only been a full fledged Daredevil fan since November (Ive always loved the concept of Daredevil. I started watching the show after I saw the D23 trailer online and remembered the original show existed and, no joke, binged it all in four days HAHA) so I know my opinion will be made differently than people who have been here since 2015, but its been a great time! I will miss the amount of colored lights that they had in all of the Defenders shows though 😔

Long winded yap answer: I think, and I believe other people should at least hold space for this too, it is crazy to judge the entirety of the future of Daredevil in the MCU and say “we are not back” “they should have never brought this back” “this is so bad I refuse to accept this as canon” based on two episodes. I’ve heard people say that they completely removed Karen and act like she is never coming back because she wasnt in the second episode (to be fair that is half of the show-) like of course shes coming back, Franks in the trailers and she has to go get her man! (If we dont get Kastle canon, which its unlikely we wont, I will throw a fit online) I heard someone say the character arcs in Born Again are one dimensional while they were large and complex in the original, like girl there hasn’t even been enough time to arc like come on be real

Now saying that I definitely can understand when people say they should’ve given us at least half an episode worth of N, M, & P before fridging Foggy. I feel like we never got to see them, we never got Nelson Murdock and Page as a business at all. I would’ve enjoyed at least pretending that the show was happy for a second (also from what I’ve been hearing its a side effect of the change in directors, still it does leave you wanting). I also agree what people have been saying about the CGI (someone more knowledgeable on the why can comment on that aspect) and the fact that Marci should’ve absolutely been in Born Again, but I have yet hope for the future!

Many things to look forward to! Kastle kiss HOPEFULLY, more Fisk couples consoling, I have been keeping blind to as much of anything about Muse as I possibly can because he sounds so SICK and I have a feeling he might become my favorite Daredevil villain based on vibes alone, I really like Heather and I hope she doesnt hang herself! Look forward to crying my eyes out when Matt and Foggy reunite after Matt finds out hes in witness protection, I look forward to Karen putting herself into even more danger, the Frank and Dex fight you KNOW is going to go hard as fuck, Frank beating on cops, Frank

Oh dont get me started on cameos/reoccurring characters. I cannot state how much I NEED Brett Mahoney and Turk Barrett. Seeing the Defenders again would be so cool or seeing Claire Temple or Maggie!! Some reference to Lantom would break me I think. Those are only the characters that I think it would be realistic to see again, but I have my own personal list of unrealistic hopes (like the coffee they all had in the Defenders shows, they all had the same to-go cups, bring back that one coffee place- is that Beckys Diner?? Is that it!?!) Theres a whole lot to be excited about!!

…did I mention getting a Kastle kiss yet, I look forward to a Kastle kiss I really want Frank Castle and Karen Page to finally kiss pLEASSE GOD (or Kevin Feige) LET THEM BECOME CANON I COULDNT BEG MORE

[alienjoyer]

can yuo share more vampire mumbo-jumbo things about your oc guy

giggles hehe yeah :3

this was originally going to be part of an enormous elijah masterpost but i think dividing it into 2 posts, a later elijah-specific post (that i will hopefully remember to edit a link into here when i post it), and this speculative biology post, is a far better idea. so have my vampire biology. it’s long. the cut is needed

elijah is my canvas for this worldbuilding so when i talk about him it’s teaching by example.

vampire claws are somewhere between michael the distortion and netflix castlevania… extendo fingernails but theyre claws. evolutionary purpose: defense against other vampires. bone nestled within bone, think 3d printed collapsable swords. that scene with alucard scratching the runes into the mirror. but it’s his fingers.

shapeshifting into an animal is possible but most vampires dont know that, it doesnt come naturally. eli took 300 years to figure out he could turn into a raven/crow (uncanny valley! he turns into neither actually, but only the discerning eye can really recognise that).

sunlight feels like standing in front of an open oven. it’s not fun, but it is survivable. can be avoided with hooded cloaks, hats, long sleeves, also this effect lessens with age. by the modern era eli will still avoid the middle of the day if it’s sunny out, but it’s not the end of the world if he needs to be in it for some reason. wheras when he was younger it was a lot more of an issue. sunscreen might help in a modern era too. slip slop slap seek and slide, yknow? effects on the young: severe sunburn and some form of heatstroke. light sensitivity, especially direct lights… ambient sunlight loses potency over the years but like no vampire’s ever gonna look anywhere near the sun.

a vampire probably doesnt need to sleep unless they’ve metaphorically lost/used their spoons, by being affected by the sun or:

silver does affect vampires! touching silver burns vampires as if it’s fresh out of a forge. silver mirrors can’t reflect vampires (thus, cameras made with silver mirrors can’t take photos of vampires). in versions where werewolves are in the picture the same effects go for them. unlike the sun this effect doesn’t lessen with age.

let’s talk about garlic. if it’s a strong smell to humans, what do you expect it to be like for a vampire? and most human foods have more or less lost their taste for vampires, but not garlic or other members of the garlic family probably. it’s also one of the flavours that most clearly stays in the bloodstream. it’s not poisonous or repellant by any stretch of the imagination, but it is unexpectedly strong. it entirely depends on the vampire how much they avoid it, a matter of taste. some don’t mind it. some hate it, enough so the myth exists.

house permissions is only a problem if theres a ward on the building. these are pretty rare. i’ve made a post about wards and sacred ground already, [HERE], and though it is written pretty sarcastically and Old Man Yells At Cloud-y it does also accurately describe how wards work. im actually not sure if i described what the end product is. it’s like an invisible wall. most of the time that’s all it is, but some mages/paladins also know how to put defensive measures on it to shock whatever’s trying to get in. and it keeps out vampires and shapeshifters and we’re going into a whole NOTHER post there so put a reminder on that.

vampires dont have blood of their own theyve gotta steal it. this means they cant drink alcohol straight, or take drugs straight, because theres nothing in their veins to dilute the effects and they fucking black out or whatever effect at 100% for like 3 weeks straight. caffeine is a weird one (and by that i mean i havent made an executive decision on it yet because it would be mean to him to not let him drink coffee). i specificy ‘straight’ they can drink blood of drunk/high people and experience the effects. eli likes to experiment pairing different alcohols with different blood flavours like how you can get at fancy restaurants sometimes.

^ this is also why stakes through the heart dont work. the heart isnt actually doing anything most of the time? just for like an hour or two after feeding (cardio system isnt actually that much changed it just goes dormant most of the time). so if you stab it, that just means you have a hurting and pissed off vampire. the actual worry happens later when the vampire cant process any blood theyve drunk. so they kindof just have to starve and wait until the healing factor fixes it. but the healing factor is slowed because they cant drink blood to like,, fuel it. so for like a month this pissed off, hurting, starving vampires just gotta sit there and wait until their heart’s healed again. basically don’t do this.

iwtv and castlevania went hard with the bloody tears so im stealing that. except it’s not actually blood, it’s like how painted statues can look like theyre bleeding from iron in the pigments mixing with water… does a vampire need iron? probably not. so i guess it’s a waste product idk

vampirism is spread through venom (but not in the twilight way we made it good). in theory evolutionarily humans and vampires have a cooperative symbiotic relationship (we are talking neolithic here) but in practice the cooperative bit’s been dropped BUT the abilities are still there. so in small doses the venom heals wounds so a vampire can feed on a human without killing them. in larger doses (if the venom overpowers the bloodstream) then the transformation begins. i think. this bit’s all under construction still but i’ve yet to come up with another idea in the months-year+ ive been thinking about it.

thralls? let’s talk about thralls. it’s another venom-based thing, but it’s the consumption of venom instead of being infected(?) with it. eli avoids it, he’s a big fan of free will. if a magic user gets a hold of some venom they can cast a spell to make people obey them, but if the respective vampire is still in the picture their commands take priority on the thrall. is there a limit to what a thrall can be commanded to do? idk. i think it manifests as the thrall having unquestioning trust in the vampire. they can still think for themselves, but a direct command is just like “ha, im sure eli knows what he’s doing” *walks directly into incoming traffic*

as you can see this is a combination of like, every different vampire media plus some popular tumblr posts, plus my own thing ive got going for me. i pick and choose bits that i like and leave out bits i dont.

also i think these vampires would be more accurately classified as viruses than any living* thing and i think that’s cool.

i like speculative biology, and i don’t much care for religion, and i think handwaving “it’s just magic, it doesnt NEED to make sense” is the easy option and also short sighted. i have a very religion-like faith in science in that i believe there will always be a scientific explanation, and if there isn’t then we just havent found it yet.

violinist au masterpost !! ghuahsdgl i always think annoting music is very personal, since it's just like notes for urself esp if ur doing it with someone else idk, and handwritings together with the doodles on the side. i hated annoting music right before i quit tho. off-topic but ik kafka looks rlly hot while she's tuning her instrument. like she has her head cocked to one side to listen to the note so she can tune it, she's very focused... btw kakfa has a spider tattoo on her rib rage or her hip. idk yet the vision i recieved was unclear. also very hilarious to me that kfr got together 21 years after they first met meanwhile acheswan are hs sweethearts that are still together.

also that kafka fic you released, you need to put a warning. i would die if i was with kafka, i wouldn't be able to handle her w my abandonment issues. like she's not open, she's elusive for no reason, would kms

and the valentines day fic odahgl kafka is always yearning she's so stupid. the last paragraph tho....</3 "nor any desire to be known, to be picked apart without the guarantee of being glued together afterwards. Her feelings have no name and her body rejects their existence within her like unknown bacteria. Despite it all, once in a while, a repressed corner of her mind bears its ugly head and demands that you look at her." like fucckkk. she's so terrible at feelings.

also i'm building my aglaea rn shes v fun but i'm acc considering pulling sunday for her...like she hits 50k max w out sunday buff but i used an assist and she hit 130k like...

dsfhksdh i have more to say about kafka but i'm very tired and i still haven't gotten new sleep meds. but that is (hopefully) happening tmrw. but i did go to the art museum today and i got dim sum. since it was my birthday a little bit ago i should totally buy a kafka print, or a plush perhaps. also am considering buying tickets to hadestown but atp I'll have to spend all of it on the fucking doctor. really glad my midterms got delayed because of a snowstorm tho because i was not ready. anw i think I'll try sleeping but if i can't i'm watching "kafka all scenes 1.0-3.0" and yell abt her ur inbox. if my doctor's appointment doesn't go well you'll see me on the national news tho <3

youre so right abt annotating music sheets together being personal… in a sense it represents them approaching their ambitions/dreams together despite them having different notes for themselves on certain parts and its so cute. kafka’s childish doodles ughhh and they all sit in a corner of r’s bedroom somewhere.

i will never disagree that kafka looks hot with a violin in hand… she could be doing anything but her focus is so attractive to me hfjsjsnf ugh i need her so bad. when she blocks out the outside world and focuses on herself and her instrument phewww. also the spider tattoo idea is a yes from me idk if you saw that one art of her as shizuku (? i don’t remember her name) from hxh but she literally has a spider tattoo on her abdomen and its so sexy, so i approve!!!!

in acheswan’s defense they tried so hard to get kfr together as teens but kafka wouldnt listen and r was oblivious as hell bc they couldn’t believe k would ever want them that way so its not their fault they got their high school/lifelong romance while kfr were miserable…… 21 years is insane though i hadnt done that math dhjdkfkg

i had to think for a minute what fic u were referring to but yeah… i love writing about kafka leaving idk what that says about me but her elusive ways are really part of her charm to me in some way hdjfjfmg i would def end my life if she left me but

kafka yearning <3 so subtle yet not. so easily overlooked because of the way she presents herself. so good.

aglaea is very very fun to play but yes you need sunday so she doesnt underperform 😭 50k for her enhanced basic atk is like 1/4 of what she can hit consistently with my sunday and hes not even well built, so i would def recommend pulling for him, i dont think he’s only good for her either so its a nice investment

ahhh im answering this so late but i hope you got new sleeping meds and that you enjoyed your birthday and that you did get the kafka print or plush bc you deserve it and its ok to treat yourself. hope your doctors appointment went well too !!! i’ll be rewatching k’s scenes soon im having withdrawals…

[softness-and-shattering]

Started playing Hollow Knight recently. Been watching a Lets Play and enjoying it a lot, so ok Ill try it out. Im enjoying it a lot. The first few times I sat down to play, I couldnt go for too long because my skill was obviously as minimal as you can get and there wasnt much room to explore without beating bosses, getting a lamp etc.

Today I went from outside Greenpath to like 6 attempts at the first Hornet fight. I LOVE Hornet. And I kind of knew there would be/was looking out for a bench, because it was just too far from the previous bench, to go halfway through the whole area just to get back to the boss fight. Also I had like 800 geo to nervously side eye, and I was right, stag station right under Hornet room. Also I LOVE the stag. I do not love Zote, who I rescued. I liked that the big fly? boss spits out little ones so I could hide under the platform and heal. And Im getting better at the jump strike. Im just too impatient + tired after all that to beat Hornet. I keep getting the thought of, just keep hitting her she'll go down if Im fast enough, but she just has too many fast attacks and too much health, it doesnt work. But I kept panicking and just going whack whack whack oops Im dead again. I do appreciate that theres quite a lot of time to heal if you time it right. Im just so impatient today! (Im struggling w access to adhd meds. Impulse control. hard to play patiently which is tbh the least of my concerns, but idk. Theres something nice about having a struggle thats not so vital as other things im struggling to do. Yeah I keep whacking Hornet and dying but ultimately it doesnt matter, the game is so pretty, the music so beautiful, what do I have to complain about. Like the fights and stuff is tricky, but its not stressful tricky, theres a calmness to the whole thing. I am still in brackets here oop). Ive also been continuing my real-life stretches some of which have now upgraded after a few months to very basic exercises, and what do you know, im feeling better, and stronger, and Im able to move around a lot easier (not much stamina yet but still, being able to twist and move dynamically again is GREAT), and theres like, endorphins happening, like its NICE to exist in my body, not just weird and awkward and painful. Im having a good time here! Hopefully get more support work soon too! Things are looking up and its a long time coming and a LOT of hard work coming. Its still hard work but this is one of those moments you get to a rest point on the mountain and look down safely and marvel at just how far youve come. This feels like a pretty big landing. Im admiring the view. I feel safe, in my guts.

Healing is possible yall. Its really really possible. and its GOOD. Its been....5? 6? years since the worst of it, I think? Theres no correct timeline. The time will pass anyways. Its very non linear. Its like climbing a mountain (i know very little about climbing a mountain), you dont just start somewhere and walk straight ahead in a line until you get to the top. You gotta go up and down and around and backtrack and its not sliding backwards, its ALL progress no matter what direction its in. Youre still moving towards the peak when you go down a slope, when you rest, when you go back to pick up something you forgot (idk if thats a real thing in serious climbing/mountaineering). Sometimes you gotta hole up for a week because theres a snow storm. Thats still in service of your life and your goal. And gaming is part of it, for me. Partly distraction, partly as like, a signal to myself that its ok, theres energy to spare, we can learn new useless skills, and have fun, and experience art. Theres time. Theres safety. We're not running from tigers, we can stop and breathe and take it in.

[varivenom]

could not stop thinking about a sukuna+yuuji as siblings au. hopefully the spacing helps bc i dont feel like using colored text. typing style aside this was all written in a stream-of-consciousness way so it might read like hot ass. but its okay 🫶

img 1: - heian sukuna+yuuji!!! theyre not related (yet). made heian yuuji blond bc of how gege sometimes colors his hair as blond. also its something that "others" him from the general population of the era, making him look like a foreigner (yuuji🤝sukuna; being seen as weirdos. worse in sukuna's case obviously). he's the older sibling bc its funny to me. also tbh he'd do good as an older sibling - i had vague thoughts on how they met but im kinda meh about it so i wont add it for now - they travel together for a while. at one point he learns sukuna is under 18 and it shocks him lol - they get closer over the years, but they split at some point so that yuuji can be a proper sorcerer. sukuna tells him it wont work out but yuuji tries it anyway. sukuna for sure got bitter about it. just a lil - time passes; sukuna finds uraume -> they eventually set up base somewhere -> he does his king of curses shit -> yuuji drops by at some point, finally disillusioned with jujutsu society (sukuna absolutely tells him "i told you so") - yuuji stays with sukuna and uraume. he also gets to view yorozu's yorozu-ness from time to time lol - when kenjaku tries convincing sukuna to turn into a cursed object yuuji isnt enthused about it. but he eventually pulls sukuna aside to set up a binding vow between them along the lines of yuuji being sukuna's future vessel (<- whoaaa reincarnation plot)

img 2: - post canon (or post culling game ig) sukuna+yuuji. sukuna gets his own body after all 20 fingers (+his corpse ig) are eaten but kenjaku pulls some shit. maybe activating a fail safe they set up back when they implanted sukuna's finger in yuuji? idk - so yuuji starts dying or something and sukuna sacrifices 10 fingers worth of power to stabilize him. the "ten fingers worth" turns out being literal too and his body ends up smaller and younger+he ends up with only one pair of arms (and no tats rip)

img 3: - sukuna+yorozu as first years. yorozu gets her own body too, tsumiki is fine (yay). thought it was a shame that yorozu barely ever gets to live in aus bc i think she's a funny character (tho i get why she's usually killed off) - based their uniforms off their canon outfits+some already existing student uniforms. designs subject to change -- sukuna: the pants style of his heian+megkuna fit, a sleeveless compression shirt(?) like his megkuna fit but as a croptop to not bother his stomach mouth, the same shoes as yuuji's uniform shoes. also used todo's outfit as insp. kinda wanted to take insp from noritoshi's/mechamaru's uniforms as well but decided against it. at some point i realized the vibe i wanted to draw him with was starting to turn out delinquent-like so i used misc manga delinquents as insp -- yorozu: heavy insp from her culling game fit (sleeveless top, pants style, boots, and those armband things). i took insp from mai's uniform too - i feel like in this au sukuna+yorozu have better rapport. not that he doesnt get annoyed with her sometimes but its not as bad as canon. also i kinda feel like pushing yorokuna for this au cause they are hilarious to me lmao

img 4: - okay so remember the previously mentioned reincarnation binding vow. now imagine shenanigans happen (maybe kenjaku messed something up in their own planning) and yuuji+sukuna end up body/soul swapped right when the first finger is ingested, without initially remembering they knew each other in the heian era - they both end up thinking theyre each other but yuuji (as sukuna) doesnt have hostility/disdain towards sukuna (as yuuji), and sukuna (as yuuji) has some violent leanings but like. not extremely since he believes himself to have lived as an ordinary person with a caring guardian for 15 years lol. - dunno if ill stick with the idea but i really like the set up just for the possible second hand embarrassment sukuna will experience after getting his own body lmao - like!! sukuna was mostly removed from his hangups, minus his subconscious ones+he "knew" he was loved as child and he got to freely experience making friends+having a teacher who taught him jujutsu/looked after him. sukuna def told gojo that he'd get as strong as him and fight him - also i might draw something related to it at some point but for this au i see him as someone who plays arcade rhythm games like ddr/mai mai/etc+likes eurobeat (and other music but that felt like the most amusing genre to mention). he continues liking those after getting his own body - when sukuna gets his own body+his proper memories back im sure he'd want to deny what he'd said/done while soul swapped but it'd probably feel like admitting defeat or something. so while he's not as open as he was before he doesnt pull away completely (yuuji probably helps him sort out his feelings too) - he had the mind of a teen so you know he said some stupid shit here and there. particularly i have the idea of him not being knocked out at shibuya and eating the fingers jogo had while calling himself "the throat goat" lmfao - meanwhile yuuji had his personality but was stuck with an adult's mind+sukuna's memories, being more somber and maybe a bit cold/brutal sometimes, but still caring. probably was interested in nurturing sukuna's potential/helping sukuna to familiarize himself with his cursed energy and jujutsu concepts. a weird but supportive presence in the back of sukuna's mind - it was kinda awkward when they un-swapped. bc hello?? SUKUNA was a student while the guy they thought was sukuna is actually a personable teenager. but its fine. trust - yuuji enjoys seeing sukuna at a younger age than when they first met in the heian era (even if he's lacking a set of arms). cameras/smartphones exist in the modern day so you bet he takes a lot of pictures when he can - the rest is misc doodles. uraume sticks around ^_^ uraume+yorozu likely knew something was up before the siblings did lol

FUN FACT ABOUT ALL THE DUDES LETS HEAR EM‼️

Damn you know when you gotta introduce yourself to the class and forget like. everything. im sure i can come up with a few things... gonna just ramble until i get at least one "fun" fact down

For isaac, he is incredibly avoidant of people. even though hes great at masking as a normal talkative person, hes fucking terrified of everyone, and it takes a lot of exposure with someone to even be comfortable with more than sparse communication. as a bonus, despite being a loveless aro, he does get limerence episodes that can last anywhere from a week to nearly a year. isaac is also an artist and paints digitally.

For redux dude, um. he exists. we know he exists because we can usually tell with vibes and such, but weve never actually met the guy and arent even sure if hes "fully formed" or whatever. based solely on vibes he doesnt feel anything like isaac, but thats all weve got. whether or not hes fully formed, it also feels like communication barriers are also kinda thick on the guy, but given time we should be able to get closer to him and learn a bit more. hopefully

For reznor (thats 2), that things got like a strange connection with shrimp and aliens. hes not kin with anything, but he identifies closely to both of those things. like comfort creatures. we have a stupid little emoji with a shrimp over an explosion made just for it. he also wears dog collars a lot.

For doe, shes a fairly new addition and we dont know much about her. she stays inside the headspace mostly and causes chaos there. oddly enough, she also seems to have a friendship with moira, an overwatch fictive who showed up vaguely around the same time, and moira usually speaks for doe while shes off doing god knows what. shes also transfem! (insys, bodys transmasc). another cool thing is shes not any specific doe, she kinda has traits of em all. really neat. she can not only do both but she could do ten if she wanted. So, shtopor is kiiinda a similar deal to redux, cept weve, like, seen him. i think he fronted, but only once. hes also pretty energetic, but thats about all we know about the guy. he actually has a favorite food! corned beef stew with salted cabbage. unsure where it came from, but he just remembers weve had it, and it was his favorite As for the movie dude... also not much known about the guy. hes kinda shy? nothing like isaac, but he doesnt have much will to front or talk to anyone. maybe if folks start to interact with him more, hell open up. he seems like he wants to talk to folks, but doesnt really have the energy to push without some external incentive. also (fork found in kitchen) hes gay For dude, hes our most developed dude (isaac being our secondmost, and reznor being our third). straight up, dude is just his name. he is the 3rd one though. he (so far) appears to be the only transmasc dude, and besides that, him and isaac have the most source memories. dude is what he calls d4d, short for dude4dude. basically he only finds himself attracted to other postal dudes. he likes to act like hes taken, but hes not actually in a relationship or anything. hes also got an emoji

Hi, hey. thas me, im 4. i dont got a name yet, sorry. not too concerned with a name... im just tired all the time. too tired. theres like this weird psychosomatic bullshit that makes my eyesight worse when im in front. also i havent gone into detail about kinks or fetishes or nothing cuz i wanted to do that in its own post or whatever. so uh. you know what to do if you wanna know that shit, wink wink. anyways im bi probably and i also have a stupid emoji. theres your facts

Both the brain damaged dudes dont have names yet either. they both wreak havoc in the headspace and they are... very queer with each other. they continue to fight each other, but its a lot less grand in our more... boring headspace. it ends how you think it ends. with whoever wins... getting their way. mr beedee mostly doesnt care to interact with most people, but mr beedeeoh... he looooves attention and will talk to anyone in whatever way he likes if anyone happens to show interest Weve got one extra secret dude, whos pretty new but surprisingly active... we wont tell ya who he is though. hes an introject of someones fandude, and while im sure the artist wouldnt give a shit, it still feels a liiiittle weird

thanks for tuning in and giving us that sweet sweet attention... and keep it comin if you know whats good for ya! ;3c

[burgycreeper405-blog]

*passes the microphone to you* so what is your fav ii dark fic about m8

super duper glad tou asked and didn't have to make you asked that bcuz no one was asking me about it/hj djfh

but my fav darkfic is simple actually

it's about mephone4

shocker i know sjdhsj

i started reading this when i wasnt even that into mephone yet lol

i was still doing the mp4 stock image meme dance lol

i m very sad that im not sure if this would get updated cuz this was published in april and updated in april, just a few days and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i am hurt in two ways jfhdjddj

caution, there are gorey stuffs there that even if there's tags there, it still shooketh me that i was like, *"holy sh1t, what am i reading?!"* (but not in a negative way) snfhsjf

like it went from 1 - 100 real quick (spoilers, or, warning,, it's about a animal that made me go "wtf" bcuz they're robots, it's fine lmao, but animals mmmmmmmm not sure about that sirmadam djdhsjj, and it's in chapter 4)

anyways, my explanation is gonna be very messy and short so bare with me here, i just wanna get this out now bcux most darkfics are just bad/mid/weird

so, this fic is mostly a what if/au

and that what if is a "what if mp4 failed to escape meeple hq" and ii doesnt exist bcuz, mp4 never escaped,, and the sad part about it is mp4 doesnt try to escape again bcux he forgot about it, cobs made him forget everything that makes mp4 want to leave

did i mention cobs is an absolute bastard here/neg didhjs

like dude, at the start of the fic, he is drunk, and he gave mp4 a smol task

but mp4 failed that task and since he was hella drunk, he smashed mp4 using a wrench, almost breaking him permanently

the brotherly bond of 4 nd 4s really makes it feel all wowie zowie, the author wrote them greatly like holy crap bruv

there's more in that fic, i think theres like 9 chapters and it took me 2 hours to read it in one go djdha

and i think that's the end of my explanation bcux my brain is all over the place rn and i just wanna get this out so bad

i might add more in the future but sheezus, yall should read it if you haven't/nf

i want it to continue so bad but i think it’s forgotten maybe,, hopefully not cuz it was just getting more juicier jhgfj

long story short, i love this fic and im still geeking out about it, i hope i can do fanart for this soon bcux i very much want to but brain says do it later, and you should read it/nf

Rating Littlest Pet Shop Gen 7 Wave 2 Leaked Pets

Wave 1 just toke their places on the shelves in my country and I cant wait to buy them! :D I couldnt find them yet but hopefully, I will get my hands on those bad boys😈😈 (Enflation be hittin different, if yk yk) Also, these are mostly leaked and Im not sure if these are the final products. I hope theyre not.

Edit: WHAT ARE THESE TYPHOS OMG💀💀

Blind boxes!🔥

(Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/LittlestPetShop/comments/1cdsf1r/g7_wave_2_blind_boxes_leaked_on_taobao_all_18_of/ )

Axolotl 7/10

Nice color choice but the mold design could have been better.

Goat 8/10

The shooting star symbols placement is bad but now generally speaking these stars, hearts and other symbols looks like they are randomly placed on pets to make them distunguasheble from the Hasbro made ones. But it takes the natural looking vibe from them. Which I LOVE THAT VIBE. Thats pretty much the only problem I had with this design. They are pretty :3

Panda 10/10

THE COLOR PALETTE, ITS SUCH A PRETTY BLUE😭💗💗 ITS SUCH A SOOTHING AND GORGEUS DESIGN OMFG🔥🔥 Also, I appreiate the diamond symbols on her eyes. Patterns on her fur doesnt look like theyre randomly placed like the previous goat one. I WOULD SOLD MY SOUL FOR HER😍🩵🩵🩵💙💙💙/hj

Dog 3/10

Idk how to explain this, she looks weird

Wolf cat 9/10

Nice colors, the way they turned her hair into a shooting star is so creative, whats up with these shooting stars tho?👰‍♂️

Bunbun 6/10

This is a recycled design of hasbro that I cant find the original at the moment, it looks boring and plain but still I like this mold. Maybe add some flavor to it a little bit? Andd whats going on with her body? There is a hole under her paw..

Donkey 9/10

Simple yet cute design, I love hoofed pets <3

Possum -10/10

The possum mold is already ugly in my opinion, the weird color choices and overall design is just awful. Its definetely not my cup of tea.

Kiwi bird 6/10

Yet again, unnatural color choices and boring patterns makes it look weird. Maybe it could have been better if a more greyish blue were used? Basic Fun is allergic to non-bright colors ig :’(

Dog 5/10

Not a fan of this mold, the brown color suits him honestly. The thunder symbol doesnt fits him. I can feel his eyes staring at my soul😭😭

Dog 8/10

He looks like a papa dog with a simple and smooth design. Basic Fun should make family sets for us

7/10

She looks like she accidently fell inside a can of toxic waste but idk I LOVE BIRDS SO SHE DESERVES A 7!🩵

Monkey 8/10

Babyboy <3

Llama 7/10

I feel like this is the same llama from wave 1 but she feel into a can of toxic waste too, its okay sweetie I still love you :3

Iguana 7/10

Silly boy🧡💛

Bird 5/10

Ik this is a redesign of already existing Hasbro design but literally nobody asked for this..

Fish 6/10

I wanna spin her like a coin

Cat 9/10

I wanna make a fur suit of her. But Im also dissappointed because this was originally a sitting shorthair cat. Still love her <3💜💜💛💛

So yeah, gonna add others in a different blog because i can add 30 pictures at max. Hope you enjoyed it, have a nice day :3🩷
