i hope youre having a good day i am indeed alive!!

A NIA REQUESTTTTTTTTTTTT OMG YES

Rubber duckie, you're the one~

♡ pairing: Ranpo Edogawa, Dazai Osamu, Chuuya Nakahara, Edgar Allan Poe, Atsushi Nakajima, Mykola Hohol, Tecchou Suehiro x gn!Reader

♡ synopsis: You bring rubber ducks into the bath.

♡ cw: Swearing, nudity I guess??? It's not NSFW lmao but gotta cover my bases

note: HELLO NIA. I want you to know that I AM gonna be doing a BLLK version of this some time after I've finished this one. Also I don't know much about Honkai Star Rail but isn't Caelus basically like that game's equivalent of Aether from Genshin? I'm uncultured T-T These are just crack hcs lol uh yeah apologies for errors and I hope you enjoy x

Ranpo:

Bold of you to assume this mf didn't bring his own rubber ducks

The bathtub is overcome with your shared aquatic fowl. You two are having an absolute field day in there (and not like a regular field day, but like a Magic School Bus field day)

Maybe they have a war or something. Or maybe they establish a peace agreement and the two leaders of your different duck nations get married to form a union

You guys end up staying in the tub until the water is freezing

Honestly though, you probably benefitted from having a little while to both just indulge in childish behaviour without any judgement or consequences. And it was super fun so no regrets

After the first time you guys decide to start having shared baths every now and then when things get too stressful at work, so you could blow off steam in a harmless and fun way

But you two don't tell anybody. I mean Ranpo still brings rubber ducks to public bathhouses because he's just like that but nobody else ever finds out the true extent of your duck-related shenanigans

10/10 would recommend bubble bath rubber duck therapy w/ autistic manchild 👍

Dazai:

He didn't expect it, but he likes it!

Dazai probably never washes himself ever so he was already quite on board with the idea of having a bath with you (he gets to see you nakey and have clean hair for once? Like what a win)

Also I reckon he's the kinda guy who really enjoys bubble baths and plays with them and gets the bathroom all messy with the bubbles (me too Dazai)

So he was pretty hyped for this. But then you dump like fifty rubber ducks into the bath and NOW IT'S TIME TO GET FUNKY

Dazai has definitely never played with them before. He's amused with the way they float, with the fact that they make noise when you squeeze them, their big stupid eyes and everything about them

He initially wants to question why you have so many of them or where you got them from but then he just as quickly decides that he doesn't really wanna know the answer

Is he as invested in the ducks as you are? No, but he's very curious about them and finds it nice that you enjoy them so much

Probably wraps one in bandages and gives it to you so you're always thinking of him or smth 💀 (it's cute though)

Chuuya:

If Chuuya has run you a bath he probably intended for it to be romantic and relaxing

And then you bringed in the duckies

After a quick discussion you two do compromise on a romantic bath. With rubber ducks. And it honestly ends up being more perfect than either of you expected

He'd have been willing to just let you do your thing though because he just wants you to be happy but mans works too hard to pass up an opportunity to relax in the bath with you

So what ends up happening is you two just cuddle in the bath and talk about life and romance and stuff, and there's also ducks floating there, entirely out of place

Like Chuuya would have pulled out all the stops. Candles and wine and stuff, so like a pretty mature scene that does not accommodate for rubber ducks, and yet there they are

But he thinks it's really cute how into the ducks you are so he lets you keep them around

He would definitely buy you more rubber ducks in the future just to see you smile. Chuuya is down so bad for you 😌

Poe:

He's probably never even seen a rubber duck in his 1800s gothic anxietycore life

You might honestly have to explain what they are. He's like 'and they don't do anything? You just have them there for company?' and you're like 'yeah!' and he's just like

Poe would find one singular duck of yours and latch onto it. That one is his duck now and he would keep it nearby because it reminds him of you

Overall though he doesn't really get on board with it. Like after the first two minutes when the novelty fades he's like '...can we please remove them' lol

If you say yes then the bath then continues on exactly as expected. It's nice but Poe's a little insecure and shy (cuddle him pls)

If you say no then he's just gonna learn to deal with them. This man doesn't have the balls to set boundaries with you (ME TOO POE)

That being said, if Karl likes the ducks? ...oh boy he's straight up going to purchase an avalanche of them

It's really up to you whether or not the ducks catch on or not, Poe's just along for the ride whether or not he wants to be

Atsushi:

Help him

They didn't have rubber ducks in the orphanage, and Atsushi probably hasn't had a proper nice long bath in years. He did not want nor expect a horde of rubber ducks

But Atsushi loves you so much that he's willing to look past it. And the duckies actually grow on him by the time you guys get out the bath

He's always seen bathing as just that. A way to clean. But you're determined to introduce him to the wonders of bathtime and make up for the childhood he wasn't allowed to have

He mostly just goes along with you and doesn't really match your energy, but he absolutely loves seeing you so excited about the ducks

He would definitely like the idea of baths being a cute couply thing for you guys to do though so whether or not you got your ducks with you is honestly irrelevant

But you do. And so he accepts them as a part of being with you. In sickness and health or whatever idk nobody loves me lmao

Just make sure that you give Atsushi as much attention as you give to the ducks okay?

Mykola:

Mykola has literally never been happier in his entire life

This was the moment when he realised that you were the one for him. His soulmate, his one and only

He doesn't care how many ducks there are, he just cares that there's ducks. And that you're the one who bought them into the bathtub.

The pair of you wreak havoc on the bathroom. Like with Ranpo, y'all were just being a little playful. You and Mykola straight up destroy the whole room

You two spend hours in there coming up with names, extended backstories and lore of each rubber duck and it gets so complicated so fast

He would also give each one of them a different voice while you guys are messing around. Theatre kid moment

You've now given him the idea to just randomly present you with rubber ducks at any time, regardless of the scenario. Your collection grows tenfold due to this bastard and Fyodor is not pleased about it. Not when Mykola is interrupting DOA meetings with fucking ducks

The poor repair guys you hire to fix the bathroom...they're so confused T-T

Tecchou:

Straight up just does not react. This shit is a regular Tuesday for him

LET'S NOT PRETEND THAT HE DOESN'T OWN RUBBER DUCKS BECAUSE HE LITERALLY DOES I SAID SO

And he just lets them float there in the bath and pays no mind to them. Doesn't play with them, talk to them or whatever. It's just nice to have some silent, non-judgemental company sometimes

Tecchou doesn't strike me as someone who would suggest that you two take a bath together, so it was most likely your idea. He went along with it because relaxing in a steamy room with you sounded nice, but in reality you just wanted to show him the ducks

And though he might have seemed disinterested he was so happy to know that you and him had a similar interest

You two are so good for each other that way <3 (good = autistic I guess, because Tecchou is canon autism I decided)

So while you play with the ducks or whatever he just sits there content and watches you do so with a little smile. Probably calls you cute at some point entirely catching you offguard

You two make it a regular thing, but Jouno probably finds out somehow and it's just a whole other can of worms I won't go into rn

[thedeviljudges]

okay i know yall aint as obsessed with trap as i am but this is my tdj au kinda sorta based off of it that i've been meaning to post. so if yall dont want some things spoiled for the move, then pls dont read this.

@clawbehavior bc you told me you wanted to be spoiled.

yohan and elijah go to a concert, and yohan notices police everywhere. he lets elijah stay in her seat during the show, but he wanders around every few songs to figure out what's going on, eventually discovering that the FBI (or the sk equivalent) have a theory that the known serial killer 'the butcher' (and maybe i come up with a diff name idk but we'll keep it for now) would be attending the concert. they've got the place on lockdown, and he's got to find a way out.

stealing a walkie, he finds that they're looking for someone of his build and stature. he can buy time given there's a lot of men in the arena who've also taken their daughters to the show.

skipping over some details, but they eventually do get out. though it's messy, and yohan knows it's only a matter of time before they come knocking on the door.

though it turns out that they've got the wrong man. yohan isn't behind the murders, nor is he the butcher. except clues point to him regardless, and when they get home yohan tells gaon the police will be there for yohan soon; it's only a matter of time since they just found one of gaon's empty safe houses with a man chained in the basement.

gaon asks yohan if he wants to turn him in, especially since he made a mistake and now their family is in danger. but yohan declines and says 'till death do us part.'

and the end can go one of two ways:

murder-suicide, leaving elijah behind;

or they take yohan to jail, who covers for his husband, and eventually escapes with a fast-forward of them in a new country or city, where gaon meticulously picks his next victim and yohan continuing to support, no traces left behind.

hi!! im still alive!! + updates on this blog

first: i would like to apologize for disappearing without a word for like. nearly a year. im terribly sorry for any worry i've caused T_T;;

honestly i have no good excuse for disappearing like i did especially without reason (not that im obligated to let everyone know my business but i did have a "i wont randomly disappear!" sentiment and yet... here i am) but in a nutshell, its basically: fandom shifts, college, and guilt.

if you want to know about the future of this blog fandom wise;

still going to be a lookism/viral hit blog (havent caught up yet) but most likely wont be as active in the fandom anymore;;; thinking of sticking as a lookism blog until that series ends but who knows when it will so i might eventually just change fandoms 😭

please dont feel bad about unfollowing or anything!! curate what u wanna see with who u follow, i take no personal offense, even if we've been long time mutuals!! ><

fandom shifts will probably be more common; i have this weird thing where i cant focus on multiple interests or i get stressed;; so i get obsessed with one thing for months/years but then once i lose interest and move on, its likely i wont return to it unless something triggers it. thats why i dont think "multifandom" fits me, i'll always be fandom focused, its just the fandom focus changes 😭

p.s. sorry if im being dramatic about this (i feel like a youtuber who got canceled writing an apology 😭😭) i just feel like i owe yall an explanation </3

if you're curious about me, i've left that under the cut;

got into a new interest which made me stop looking at lookism/viral hit stuff -> knowing my blogs are lookism focused, i decided to take a "break"

couldnt get myself back into lookism after my "break" ended -> couldnt get myself back on tumblr

started to feel guilty because i havent been active in a long while

senior year ending, school takes my priorities -> summer break comes, i swear i'll apologize on tumblr but guilt eats away at me and then i have to do college stuff

become a little active on tiktok, start feeling more guilty because im active there but not on tumblr

college begins, get busy with college stuff -> during breaks, swear i'll apologize on tumblr pt 2 but the guilt has piled up so much it feels like the equivalent of when a person cant get themself to reopen their animal crossing new leaf game because they havent touched it in a long time

first college semester ends, winter break starts -> finally convince myself to get over it and start typing all this up

once again im really sorry T_T i was not made for the content creator life bc i cant stay active for shit + i feel so bad gaining followers for one thing but once i move on from that one thing, it feels like im disappointing a lot of ppl even tho i know i dont owe strangers on the internet anything- im just repeating myself now but yknow

oh and for anyone curious: my current fandom is dmc <3

[crappy-homestuck-confessions]

hm ok this isnt really a confession so much as a ramble but I feel like someone would stab me over this so wtvr

thinking abt how the creation of dirks splinters never come from a place of malice or self hatred or anything. they actually came from a desire for companionship.

prince of heart, based on class and aspect descriptions, is roughly equivalent to "destroyer of self". dirk continues to splinter and break into fragments but it's never intentionally done (at least as far as I can remember - hal doesnt really count as intentional, as he didnt think of it as "splitting himself" at the time). additionally, they are always made out of a desire for a companion.

hal is the obvious example here - dirk made him because he was lonely, accidentally trapping what is effectively a static version of himself for eternity. which. that's fycked up but yall know that. point is he wasnt created out of any self destructive tendencies but rather out of loneliness and desire for companionship. as solitary as dirk can be, he was still lonely.

BGD is an interesting one - considering that jake manifested him, you would think he'd have more of an original personality. he does, but only to a very small extent. BGD is like if you fantasized about your crush so much that the daydream version of your crush became sentient-ish and started trying to talk you through your shit. which. that's just kinda fascinating tbh. but more importantly, he was still created with that want for a companion, a friend.

nobody can be fully heartless. not really. arguably, dirk has more heart than anyone else - so much that it overflows and splits and fractures. when he feels something, he does so vindictively. then he tries to resolve it. when he got lonely, he did the only thing he could think of: if you dont have a friend, then make one.

anyway sorry for incoherently rambling in ur askbox at 1am 👍 I dont usually think abt dirk that much idk what's up w/me today

[ratatatastic]

"i think we were pretty good at the start" when my tall gorgeous wife says something i dont actually agree with but shes too stubborn if i confront her directly so i have to subtly let her know shes wrong

(which is what i wish was happening but no i have to burst my own bubble erod makes that face because as he scoots his water bottle forward it makes a dull plastic rubbing noise on the table and he makes that face as if to go wuh roh... hope that isnt too loud on the mic thats like right there. and yes the mic catches the noise good job roddy lol its just genuinely funny he makes that face right as mikksy talks about the "good" first period start like damn that synced up too well)

"i was a little lucky got the one through and nice play by lundy" and the mic catches an erod snuffle aka i cant believe you just said you were lucky you absolutely got that goal by skill it got right under skinners glove he was just a milisecond late your shot is amazing, sometimes it doesnt go in yeah but that doesnt negate the hardwork you put in-

eerily his inner monologue sounds exactly how i sound talking about mikkola, curious that aka rest in pieces that 6 sog but no goal mikksy game i think of you sweetly i wish he let it rip more often i also yell that at the tv too

and his face at "nice play by lundy" lmaooooo his face. made of clay. he cannot hide any reaction whatsoever. "nice" is also really downplaying it like im with erod both of yall did some fucking mind melting shit wtf man

mikksy downplaying his own skill but going it was a nice play by lundy like i really owe it to him he set up the goal i was just lucky it got in really... do you freaks want me to cry this is the fucking verbal equivalent of seeing an open door and going after you to the person after you but theyre also nice and go no after YOU and then its like no i insist and then they go no really I INSIST. and youre just stuck being aggressively polite.

edmonton oilers @ florida panthers game 2 postgame interview | 6.10.24 (x)

[artcommunityvent]

heres my rant for today: (sorry in advance for long post)

i hate how modern art communities have to “fandom-ify” every single new trendy thing literally DAYS (and sometimes even hours) after it drops. i know this is a lot of the same sentiment as those people that just go “popular thing bad” but honestly it really puts me off some medias because i dont want to associate with anyone else who likes it

do we really need a million different fan ocs and aus for EVERYTHING? and like, i know its nothing new, obviously we have the onceler and undertale aus to look back on, but its exhausting at this point because while those communities were presumably genuine, in the present day it just feels like the fandom equivalent to an industry plant. and most people dont even stick with the thing they decide to make their entire personality!!

remember when spiderverse came out and everyone made spidersonas? who can you name thats actually drawn their spidersona more than once? it feels like everyone just trend hops, and yes i know thats how the internet is but its just exhausting especially when it brings down otherwise creative and inspired works

fnaf security breach: everyone makes fnaf aus and glamrock animatronics, then spiderverse as previously mentioned, then welcome home dropped and thats becoming a shitshow with how yall are fandomizing what is essentially a small creator telling their ocs lore in a creative way, and now its happening with digital circus. im so tired of seeing projects that are cool and visually appealing becoming a cesspit of bland, unoriginal aus and piles of fanart only to get dropped when the new shiny comes out

and i wanna elaborate on welcome home for a second because i know damn well if one of these people who makes “daddy dom priest wally is actually the devil” aus had an oc they loved, and someone came along and made their own aus of it in the same way, that person would bitch and cry oc theft. some people dont even change up the characters design, like how entitled do you have to be to essentially just steal someones oc and call it your own? it disgusts me how people are treating clown and honestly i wish they would put the series on indefinite hiatus or complete their story privately to teach these people a lesson

another thing that puts me off is how every piece of media has to have the “fandom daddy” for lack of a better term. glamrock freddy, hobie brown, wally darling, or jax, its all the same thing repackaged; someones gotta be the tumblr sexyman. its so tiring—ESPECIALLY as a lesbian who doesnt really wanna center men in my life at all—to wanna see fanart of the media you like and its only: “heres the one character everyones horny for drawn in a totally different and more sexualized body type” with everyone in the comments salivating over them. i really like digital circus! but all i see are people who would walk across a mile of broken glass just to suck a fart out of jax’ ass. what about the other interesting characters? why does EVERY conversation with popular media have to be about “which guy is the most fuckable” (guy specifically because come on, when has a female character been the highlight of attention; using the previous example have you seen ONE person talking about digital circus that even remembers zooble exists)

it feels like nobody can appreciate work anymore without having to claim some form of ownership over it, to say “hey this thing is so popular and important that it is now a part of my identity!! look at my millions of ocs that i will draw one time and never again!” im just tired of people being unable to passively interact with media they enjoy and everyone seeming to fight over and prove some connection to the things they like

tldr: im tired of everyone in the art community making heaps of fanart, aus, and fan ocs for stuff the second it gets popular and then totally forgetting about it the next time something else gets popular

(and before yall bring up hyperfixations: i am autistic; i understand having so much love for a piece of media for a short while and then dropping it for no reason and its heart shattering; BUT AT THE SAME TIME this pattern is on oxford to me and its on such a large scale that it infects the greater art community as a whole)

That is indeed the nature of media consumer at its finest. I do feel like it is more appearent now due to the way most social media algorithm works. They only show what is trending at the moment, so naturally, we are exposed only to this specific thing until another trend eventually takes over.

Even artists who never create fan content can be influenced to do so by looking at the other artists, be it to dive in along the hype for the popularity of it, for the geniune fun, for the sense of community, and many more reasons.

i dont know how to share my confidence on anything honestly around here you know how it is. but its over. we won tabarnac. the communists win. i told opirg today. you dont need to dig very far to see how game over it is. we have world peace by christmas and i believe it for real. gg guys.

peace and love on planet ottawa! peace and love on turtle island! peace and love in palestine! we have negotiation tables in qatar again monday morning!! did that 20 million year old fossil in washington need a slap from his buddy justin or did this not even need to happen?

there are a lot of doors everywhere. there are a lot of keys everywhere. people love to just leave their keys everywhere, especially still in the ignition in this stupid city and im the biggest thief here. de toute facon comme jte disais..

the iron dome has security measures. i have good reason to believe i am aware of a particular security vulnerabilty on the israeli side and ive been telling everyone to change their passwords forever you know how crazy it is out there.

i shared a particular code with an antizionist mensch that has been coming to the solidarity demonstrations held every weekend in ottawa since netenyahu and his genocidal regime escalated the situation to a war months ago last october. i shared other strategic victory plans with the pym and they all know where to find each other.

ill go bug embassy security about nonsense at 3am on my way back from the bar if anyones around. its warm as shit out here this month idk they might be out for a smoke or something. its not like the palestinians have much of an equivalent but im in the market so yall know exactly where i wanna go.

long story but my favourite tree in town survived the two years of peace i gave canada and the rest of the world from my bullshit! i think qatar or some other gulf state is building its embassy around it. i want to convince them to save this thing and integrate it into their design so bad. her name is grandmother acab!! forreal guys. if theres another close favourite its the apple tree near the aviation museum that fruits like a maniac. im just too shy to bug the ppl at city hall about it if they already offered it to another gulf state in that alley (the japanese and south korean embassies arent far either, its just behind global affairs lmao).

i wanted to play more concerts in that field with my friends. as far as i can tell mitski and lady lamb are interested in playing there again. i need to hit them up when shit gets less crazy again. i dont even know if they realized this was communist bullshit and theyre americans lmao.

its been left to fallow for sooo long and its one of my favourite spots in town. ive offered to kill suicidal friends there before idk. its very sacred to me. and im so glad the bulldozing hasnt started yet really. the shit they did down by the marina and the path down to the kichi zibi (ottawa/great river) from the north end of lowertown hurt me sooo much my god. i was scared i lost so much more behind the mint too dear lord.

sorry for making the good news so long and silly tonight. i need to hustle more responsibly lol. ily all. if i dont see you again good morning good afternoon and goodnight bozos! this truman show with the rcmp bugging my life needs to stop already. check out lady lamb! sound of the summer!

with solidarity and friendship,

audrey, jeanne, and friends

oh my god I hate to think you thought people weren't LOVING lmr chapter 4! seems like there really was a universal lag in people not seeing the update, myself included. maybe more of your followers like football than u thought...

i didn't know there was any football stuff going on lol. i know there Are A Lot Of Sports Fans in the world in general but my vibe of the catradora fandom is that our football-viewer percentage is lower than average, unless you're talking about women's soccer 😂 i also think it was influenced by the archive having issues that day (partially down) since i had at least two people tell me they never got an email. I also didn't really mention i posted it on here - which i don't always do for fics, but i had been doing for the previous the chapters. i usually only mention it if im posting something or answering an ask anyway and can tack it on without like, having to make a Whole Post dedicated to it (this is a theme that will return later in this post)

normally when i do fic notes, i include a "what's next" section, but i left it off this time because im not sure, actually! i was initially planning (like, back a month ago when i first started writing) to do an au next but it would be a Lot and my interest is swaying towards canon rn so i thiiiiink it will be some OotW fics since i have a few wips for that and one In Particular that i need to figure out if its a one shot, or multichapter fic, or like two or three fics in a miniseries. i have like a dozen wips rn so its really hard to say.

i actually only realized i was posting on valentines day like two hours ago when i was given someone's milk chocolate haul since they only like dark chocolate lol. honestly im a bad person to ask this because im not one for dates or gifts or any of the stuff valentines is based on. i dont like Special things i just like the little everyday stuff, so valentines seems like a chore to me and its hard to come up with stuff for it. it also depends if you're talking like, in a modern au or for the etherian equivalent of valentines day. my vague answer is just they take it as an excuse to spend an entire day together since they love being around each other, or they go on a fun little adventure they havent found the time for yet. i can see them doing stuff with glimbow "double date" style too.

the answer is both! i go days without messages sometimes (which works for me because i like talking to yall but it also takes energy) and then other times i get a bunch at once. messages naturally gather around talking points (specific posts, fic uploads) so like, ive checked my asks twice tonight and had a decent number of asks both times, but when i posted chapter three i waited a few hours to gather some asks before replying since i knew they would be trickling in for the evening as people read the update.

it's also taken me two hours just to type out the replies in this post (which might give context to my "asks take energy" thing) so during that time more messages can come in and be answered in the same post as long as i remember to check right before i go to post it.

i like putting them all in one post just because it makes my blog and the dashboard experience Neater so i do it when reasonable, but i dont usually wait more than a few hours for the purpose of collection, if i do at all. it also lets me reply to and acknowledge some messages even when i dont have anything to say to them directly (like, i didnt have a reply to that ahhhh anon on its own, but it made me laugh so i wanted to post it, and by putting it in a larger group i can do that).

oh thank you! i feel like its something im actually terrible at since i do have a tendency to ignore/delete messages when im not up to talking (in general, or just dont have anything to say on the topic/in response). i do really love my comments and message tho so thank you to everyone who leaves them! i hope the blanket thank-yous are enough because usually they're the best ive got lol

idk i feel like never figured out the social interaction of thanking people (even/especially irl), so it makes me not reply to comments much because i feel like the best i can do is a canned, one-sentence "thank you!" response (and, of course, that still takes energy as mentioned with spoons, which doesn't feel worth what it "gives back" you know).

actually, ive talked about this for so long, so let me just take a temperature and i can gather responses (or post replies, those are great too!) for a bit: 1) are comments sections usually just [thoughtful comment]["thanks!"] and im otherthinking this because i havent read other author's comment sections, 2) do you Care if an author replies to your comment or not, at least when it's not a question (like, does it influence your decision to leave one if you think they won't reply. i personally don't care at all which is probably where part of my whole thing comes from), and 3) if it does influence you, does a simple "thanks!" really add anything to your decision. im almost certainly not going to change my approach because it's what im comfortable with, but i would like to know if im expending an unwarranted amount of mental effort on this XD

i have before! it's called Let's Get Physical. frankly its just harder to write lol

(also going back to the gathering asks thing, this ask came in while i was writing this post and thus got tacked on right after i posted it)

i dont think its that deep dude its like the equivalent to self depreciation

this is one of those “touch grass” type takes because lots of lgbt people make jokes like that and its obvs not genuine hate or discrimination

idk if milos lgbt so if not then yeah its a little weird but im gonna make the assumption they are bc it feels like yall are so quick to hop on their ass for stuff that,,is not that bad and shows that some of u need to spend less time online /lh

I personally didn't see a problem with it but I didn't want to silence someone of venting- Plus I believe milo is in fact lgbtqia+ themself. Although I do not think they should have put it in a big server like that where people can take it the wrong way (IE: the anon who did), I'd say keep it between friends or people who you know that they won't be rubbed off the wrong way even if you put /j.

OKAY SO—I AM CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF MY 3D ASSESSMENT FOR ART SCHOOL AND IM LIKE 70 TO 80 PERCENT DONE BUT I DO NOT CARE—WHEN NANAGO STRIKES, NANAGO STRIKERS

context—i was peacefully chatting with a schoolmate abt said 3d assessment while my sister was playing thru the genshin nahida birthday event. i didnt exactly see her screen but i didnt need to because back when i used to play genshin, nahida was one of my favorite characters and her archon quest is so good—both lorewise and storytelling wise

the reason this caught my attention was because one of the nahida birthday cutscenes for the event played and it was—LSFJGHKl it was one of my favorite genshin character trailers ever played and i watched it over and over and it lives dormant in my heart—here it is! it is required watching for context LMAO

NOW—to the people that KNOW, yall can probably suspect whats coming up. and to the people that dont—lemme lay it down "havent played genshin in 1 to 3 years" style LMAO

TLDR: nahida, the child god of wisdom, was captured and trapped by scholars that serve as the kind of? governing body of her nation. for the past 500 odd years or so, she has been used as a sort of "god battery" to power the equivalent of the internet on steroids. during this time, the scholars have grown displeased with her and her ideas of knowledge and wisdom as they clashed with their own, and collaborated with a terrorist organization to make their own god of wisdom. both the scholars and said terrorist organization fail, thanks to the actions of the MC and nahida, and she is returned back to her rightful place as god and ruler of said nation

i skipped thru a lot of details but thats the main gist of it. im kind of impressed since i just—pulled that off dome with no reference lmaooo. but YES, now that the housekeeping is done, its nanago time KLJGSRL;GhJN

what if, when gojo was sealed in the prison realm, kenjaku hadn't immediately thrown him into the marianas trench but instead used it similarly to how nahida was used like a battery? because i mean—it would make sense, considering the amount of cursed energy needed to keep those insane barriers up for the culling games, and to pull non-participants out of the culling games areas via the cursed realm. gojo would also serve as a good backup if his original plan for the merger ever fails—aka merging tengen with all of humanity. they could instead merge gojo's filtered cursed energy or gojo himself or something with all of humanity itself. he could also speed up his plan of turning everyone into sorcerers via using gojo as a battery to use Idle Transfiguration on a massive scale

but—thats just main plot stuff, the thing i wanna focus on is the nitty gritty of it—like gojo's experience inside the prison realm, how the "battery function" works, and how he'd be able to escape with nanami's help. and OFC nanami's there, how tf can it be nanago without the other half of the equation??? LDFJLBKj

i actually have a bunch of ideas already, with this main one being the strongest—the battery function, i imagine, needs to open the Prison just barely enough for some cursed energy to seep out to be used. maybe itll come out thru the eyes or something—that part doesnt matter as much as this next part. when it slightly opens, theres always gonna be the smallest chance that whoever's inside, aka gojo, can break out so, theres a function imbedded in it that renders whats inside mostly unable to function

and THIS is the part where we get really into the nahida inspiration. in the main story of the game, there is an entire plot where you're essentially in a pseudo-time loop and you've been looping for countless times and, if you hadn't figured out that you were in a pseudo-time loop, you DEFINITELY would've died. nahida helps you out because you're not the only one in said time loop, EVERYONE IS and she doesnt particularly want everyone to fucking die. with her help and some ace attorney-esque deduction, you find out that the pseudo-time loop is actually a looping dream and to break out of the murder dream time loop, you have to wake up the person who the bad guys attached the murder dream time loop to and is projecting to literally everyone.

i feel like you can see where im going with this.

everytime the cursed realm is used as a battery, gojo has to time loop relive a memory. i was originally thinking that he would have to relive a bad memory for the angst, but ive come up with a better idea that makes more sense

when its open/used as a battery, he relives a nice memory/has a nice dream. this is to ensure that he doesnt want to leave, and just stays in the comfort of the dream. when its closed/not used as a battery, he relives bad memories/goes through nightmares. this is because cursed energy is made from negative emotions, and this is the Prison Realm just "charging" itself

its not a full concept yet—im toying with the idea of having nanami try to get in while its open to get gojo out and try to convince him to leave the sweet dream (kind of hsr penacony of me lmao), or for nanami to be suuuuuper dead and for his memory to torment gojo in the nightmare when kenjaku isnt using it

eitherway, its a p fun concept and idea to think abt, and if you wanna take this idea and run with it? PLEASE DO OH MY GOD YOU HAVE MY FULLY BLESSING KFRHDSGklj

[squeiky]

Im gonna have to name this an au or soemthing cause damn am i getging obsessed with this

Ended up fully fleshing out The 10 sonadow kids and the espilver and Blazamy kids:

Starting with the BABIESSS we've got the triplets with Pickels the Fossa, Snowy the Kinkajou and PaintBrush (P.B for short) the coatimundi (P.B's entire name is literally Paint Brush, but i just added the extra title so we know what he.. IS.)

Pickles and Snowy are "twins" in the way that they look similar but very much are not related.

They were all found at the same time (kittens in a box sort of deal)

Trixie was found a couple of years after Alberto but i just havent made an actual adult form of her yet- bur she was adopted at age 3.

My girl watched the pony show and yall should KNOW whos her favorite character

WATTZ my little adorable one- really wants to be cool like Sonic and Shadow but the heart is so big and pure its hard to look stoic and cold when you've got the sweetest little golden heart in the world

And Banjo (who i originally named Bongos bur decided to change it) who is the akward teenager that likes his alone time and music. Not nuch to be said here other than there is never a time where i shall pass up the opportunity to turn this guy into a little pangolin ball with his dads.

You can tell my favorite characters have got to be Luca. She was the first and shes a wrestler (luchador anyone?) Shes the big relaiable sister who will infact pummel you, and i love that.

Might need to work on Summer and Albetro but otherwise these are what i call the "guineapig group" in the sense that they were the first, thus the eldest out of all the kiddos. I dont have kid forms for them but the stuff her is simple- took after the other parent too much, with Luca be dabsmack in the middle of influence. They all have their own quirks and likings but overrall i love the "how many idiots does it take to fix a lightbulb" and the awnser is none because Luca broke it and then bought a new one.

Oh yeah and Greybelle's a crybaby did i mention that? Hes also a late bloomer when it comes to his powers (mostly bcs i dont know what powers to give him yet)

Okayy and for the OTHER ship babies:

I find Greybelle's (should i name him Turnip or like idk some cute plant name or just keep the watermelon name?) And Flares dynamic hilarious because its literally the direct opposite of Silver's and Blaze's dynamic in which these two fucking HATE eachother. Childhood freinds? More childhood enemies.

Flare has her powers early because shes just like that. She looks calm and collected like Blaze (but she seriously has the temper equivalent to a matchstick in a pit of gasoline- which means shes also a rage quitter)

Oh and more baby time with the unnamed baby because i cant think of a name

(someone help me please other wise im gonna name it something stupid like "slippers/chinelas/zapatos", "borzoi" or like.. idk just "BABY")

More comics stuff with THE BABY and like a poster of Trixies magic show (its her all grown up 😊) as well as Sonic teaching Banjo how to play guitar for the first time (the first step towards his long journey of become a musician 😊)

Alright thats about it. I guess i could do more on metalsonic and Chaos but im pretty sure the entire robot kingdom and chao species are basically they're uhh family so i dont think they need the extra stress of an actual fucking weird robot waterbaby child (though that would be a kickass design ngl)

Also thinking about doing Rouge, Wave and knuckles because yeah they've got a thing going on and its like they're all buddies and soemtimes Rouge makes out with Wave. Thats about it. #singleforever
