what is going on

[starboy-squeakers]

Again not a dungeon meshi reader/watcher but every time I hear about that laois guy I get reminded of how my system had/has a hyperfixation on dragons so intense that we got that big fancy dragonology book and we treated it like the damn dragon Bible for like years

Now, obviously, we understand that there's different interpretations on mythical creatures, and no one interpretation on a dragon is necessarily gospel, but that multiple interpretations on the classic tale of beasts of scale and fire are completely valid and to be expected!

however if you call an Eastern dragon a coatl I'm going to come to your house and slaughter your family

Pick a card reading; Your psychic talents/ gifts and how you can develop them.

Keep in mind this is a general reading so if something doesn't resonate for you, feel free to leave it or pick another pile! Trust your intuition always.

Take a few deep breaths and chose from the pictures below.

(1-3)

Pile 1

Cards; 4 of cups reversed, Ace of wands, 5 of swords,8 of cups reversed, 8 of swords reversed.

Your psychic gift/ talent is knowing. Clairaudience, clairsentience etc You have been blessed with so many opportunities and ways out if you desire them. If you need something, it shows up for you, if an opportunity is not for you, you are guided away accordingly. Its kinda like the world is especially looking out for you and your sense of intuition and manifestation is quite strong. You may have things go your way easier than some other people. The people in this pile are great manifesters and masters of their emotions as well. The type of people to make a wish and it happens. Some of you always experience great luck and advantageous coincidences. However, a message is coming through that you should remember not to take things for granted.

How to develop your gift;

Develop a clear channel to your intuition, so that you can receive messages easily. This is important so that you can make the correct decisions, since you are being guided constantly. Developing a strong sense of trust in yourself is important as well. Having psychic clarity or practices that can improve your clarity such as meditation will have a very positive impact on your life. For a specific few of you, there is a set way that your life is supposed to go, a kind of divine purpose that you have to fulfill, and your gifts are meant to align you on this path.

signs/confirmations; blue and cool toned colours, oceans, vines, reeds, fire.

Pile 2

Cards; 3 of pentacles, Wheel of Fortune, Queen of wands reversed, 3 of wands reversed.

Pile 2 you are quite connected with animals and nature, there's a way you can intuitively understand and work with the cycles of life around you. You may care quite alot about the environment and its enhabitants. You may also have a particular fascination with insects. Your psychic gift/talent is this connection. You are the type of person who easily gets signals and synchronicities through animals/ wilderness. Some of you have strong ties to your ancestry and could come from cultures that practice nature based religions with medicine men/ women. You are talented at divination too and could be adept at bone throwing or runes. Strong ties to your ancestors, they could send you psychic messages quite often and work with you to bring in manifestations and blessings. (this last part is only for a specific group of people.) People who chose this pile may have native american/african(particularly the interior/central african communities)/celtic ancestry.

How you can develop your talents/gifts;

Going out into nature and managing your emotions. You may be prone to depressive episodes? or bursts of irritation and anger and may also often get disillusioned with life and feel that it is cruel to you, or that you are unlucky. Learn to take it in stride, there are always ways to seek support from the universe and sometimes bad things just happen. Seek support from your communities(if you dont have one, try to cultivate one) and look to learn from them, you could greatly benefit from a mentor or a guide in your spiritual practice. Carry out research on your ancestry and their ways of life/spiritual practice.

signs/confirmations; small woodland(i know these arent all woodland creatures but im honestly not sure how to classify them😭) creatures eg squirrels, possums, badgers., insects, eagles, warm fiery colours and violet and orchid flowers., 333.

Pile 3

Cards; Queen of wands, 3 of swords, The tower, Page of pentacles reversed, The sun reversed.

Pile 3 you may be quite beautiful and sensual. You aren't afraid to embody your sexual energy and may have broken quite a few hearts. Your gift/ talent is towards healing and transformation. You have depth of character and may have gone through some traumatic experiences but you overcame them and transformed them into wisdom. There is a sort of femme fatale energy about you but interlaced with kindness. Because you present yourself this way people may have been eager to approach you but found themselves transformed instead. Beauty and brains, mysterious and magnetic appeal. You are also talented at witchcraft and could work your magic through glamours, charms, sex magic, lunar magic too. There is a duality here, sometimes you are femme fatale, tight dress and red lipstick, other times you are more nature, cottagecore aesthetic. You are unafraid to present yourself in whatever way you are feeling.

How to develop your gifts/talents;

You may get bored easily and feel that you always have to be working on something. Frequent change and following your intuitions and urges will help you develop your talents; if you feel interested in something you are being encouraged to do some research about it/try to pursue it. Working to see your life in new perspectives you can appreciate is also helpful for you. Don't be afraid to do things that shake you up or that may seem dramatic to other people.

signs/confirmations; sun, chickens, yellow, sunflowers, farms, south american countries .

[desognthinking]

im fascinated what is tomb guardians au i am immediately imagining ava trying to get (very serious about her job) bea to talk to her (t4t aka tomb for tomb communication) like “it’s because you’re always on that damn guarding the tomb” and bea staring at her like “oh (relevant semi-religious curse word/deity invocation), i HAVE to fuck her”

Hi 😄  tomb guardians au is exactly that! except a little weirder, i think. Because they arent the guards stalking the graveyard they are the inhumanly stone-and-metal-but-not-really guardians themselves ☺️it's like what if beatrice had two heads and stood watch over the sealed, entombed heart of a bloodline. And ava was the new, terrible protector of a clan of craftsmen on a hilltop, buried with chambers of generations of their art. And what if they were necropolis neighbors 😳

This is one chunk previously posted and this shorter thing is set a little later, during the wedding mentioned in the first part. i think it kind of matches this ask pretty well 🥺:

Weddings are just like funerals: they’re never safe. The procession overflows from the courtyard at the mouth of the tombhouse, and nobody turns their attention to the other side of the hill. That's Ava’s job. Beatrice, perched carefully atop her roof in a long line of others she can vaguely make out, stretched across the rim of the hills, can see her sway and duck through kitestrings and tree-hung lanterns blowing in the wind as she keeps vigil. 

There’s fire, and an uncoordinated symphony of chattering accompanying music, and colored smoke that drifts up and drenches the air in pinks and yellows. The party had started at the Salviuses’ inner city tombhall, and then wound its way through the cobbled streets to settle here sometime around midday. Now the sun has cooled from its boil and the clouds are dissipating in streaks leaving swatches of color overtop the trees.

Celebration mixes with ceremony in equal parts, and Ava’s soaking it in, so she told Beatrice herself. Amidst the rush of activity at the Silvas’, she’d found her way over yesterday, dangling her human legs over a particularly stubborn branch that tipped over a brass gate, lurching under her weight towards brown grass.

“And, if you want,” she’d said quickly, “the view from atop our central mausoleum is incomparable.” Following the parched trajectory of Beatrice’s traitorous eyes, Ava had reached up to hurriedly smooth out the colorful combs that had erupted from her crown as she blurted out the offer. “You could see the dances up close.” 

She paused, as Beatrice reached out, at first hesitantly, then bravely, to gently still Ava’s hands from patting down the sharp, fiery crests. It’s okay.

(I like them.)

“We’re close enough that you could still keep a lookout for things over here.” 

Proximity, of course, was in truth the last thing that Beatrice feared would compromise her duty, and she knew that Ava knew it too. 

They sat in silence, not uncomfortably. Hot plumes, from where the days-long feast was being prepared in great earthen pots and pits on the rolling green surrounding the Silva walls, thinned out as they passed through the trees to Beatrice’s clearing. 

Whispers of stews, and meats, and spices. Beatrice felt, suddenly, terribly hungry.

“Will you ask again tomorrow?” she chanced, finally. 

Ava, bright and shocked and delighted, laughed. In her relief she nearly fell backwards off the branch, taking with her Beatrice, who had joined her on the tree.

Razor-edged fronds sprung up again from the top of her sun-warmed head. “Horrible”, she joked. 

Beatrice disagreed, and let her know.

Now, the sky is dampening, and the wedding party, in dribs and drabs, pauses to refill its cups and light its candles. In this twilight Beatrice lets herself turn to the west.

It is not easy to see, but the creature on the Silva house is there, beyond the clasp of woods, and when Beatrice meets its eyes its form unfolds in magnificent, menacing span and its unmistakable, jagged tail rises, quick and high, as in warning or challenge. 

From this far away, and half-hidden by foliage, it is impossible to make out the details of that bolted, harsh surface, but Beatrice knows how it feels under her palm, fluttering and leathery and spiny and warm, just as she knows by a glance the towering shape of the display and the exaggerated, daring, silly invitation that it extends across the space between their roofs. 

Ridiculous. 

Ava – terrifying as she extinguishes the numerous wraiths that have already sought to take advantage of the guardian transition, serious as the new caretaker of an artistic legacy, and an achingly, brilliantly quick learner of that uncommon dialect spoken by Beatrice’s house – lifts off her roof in a dramatic jump, and lands with a shaking thud that sends shivers through the ground all the way over. 

\

Help arrives so quickly that Beatrice knows said help is going to give her a hard time. 

“Mary,” she greets, relieved all the same. “Are you sure you don’t mind keeping watch?”

“Yeah, don’t worry, Shannon's got it all handled back home,” Mary traces the perimeter easily, scanning the horizon in each direction and then feeling the hollows and convexities of the tombhouse in quick reappraisal. Beatrice stands aside as she smoothly pads across the surface of what she must have judged to be possible points of weakness, tests the robustness of a couple of Beatrice’s carefully constructed defenses, then nods, satisfied. 

A great-aunt, peeking out too to watch the celebrations, looks up, sees Mary, and waves. Mary sends her a bow. 

“You know, Bea, she’s right,” she hums, finally. “It’s not too far away, and you’ve always been focused when out visiting.”

The bait is not particularly subtle, and Beatrice narrows her eyes. 

“I just don’t think it’s safe to reduce any protections during a celebration when everyone’s guards are down.” She busies herself with cleaning up the place, tightening the wards and doing some final redundant sweeps and checks. “It’d be easy for someone or something to slip through, especially with so many unfamiliar faces.”

“Mm. And you’d be distracted.”

“I don’t know what you mean.” 

“Sure.” Mary circles, then sits down, settling in and getting comfortable. She uncoils and reaches out to nudge Beatrice gently where she’s examining the shifts in some stones very conscientiously. “And I promise not to look over.”

“Mary.”

“What?” She shrugs, casually puts out a strong claw and kicks Beatrice firmly off the parapet. “Time to go-o.”

There’s a shower of stone fragments as Beatrice shakes and gathers herself to snap and snarl halfheartedly and harmlessly up at her from the ground. 

Mary looks over the edge and shakes her head, grinning. “Oh, baby girl,” she tsks, “Don’t tell me you need me to teach you how to fuck her.”

“Mary!”

Mary’s laughter echoes as Beatrice turns and steals into the darkness, necks hot with embarrassment. “Now hurry up, Beatrice,” her call seeps, howling, into the roots. It warps with the topography of the earth into something deep and old, sinking its frigid teeth into Beatrice’s bones. But the shape of the wind whipping past Beatrice’s ears is fond and teasing in its turbulence as she tears through the thicket. “Your poor girl’s waiting for you.”

if you’re wondering why I’m having to repost this, or why you were perhaps previously following me but no longer are, please refer to this post. I was able to retrieve this thanks to the very lovely friends who have relentlessly sifted through tumblr archives to recover them, thank you all so much!! ♡

Thranduil x Short!S/O

- first of all, Thranduil is supposed to be like 6’5”, so around 99% of the world’s population is going to be short in comparison to him

- but as a dignified short person, I know that an actual short person is anything less than 5’5”, and considering Im exactly 5ft tall, Im a particularly short person, and this one goes out to all my fellow shorties

- needless to say, your height was a bit of a shock to Thranduil, even considering the fact that you arent an elf

- the fact that your personality exceeded your size so much was fascinating to him, and he quickly became utterly entranced by you

- I’d say Thranduil would dwarf you, but using the word “dwarf” as an example of anything positive in front of the Elven King is probably a bad idea

- but he adores your height!!

- he finds himself being thrown into spirals of anxiety every time he loses sight of you, because you’re so small you can easily disappear into a crowd

- he does tower over everyone though, so he’ll always find you soon enough, but he still freaks out about losing you

- Thranduil has realised that a vast majority of the time, he’ll hear you before he sees you

- whether it be singing as you skip down the halls, laughing very loudly, or just simply shouting to get people to acknowledge the fact you’re talking to them, he will hear you a good few minutes before you enter his line of sight

- to add to this, as a gift he crafted an anklet for you that is decorated with beautiful silver bells, so that even when you arent being particularly loud, he wont lose you as easily, because the bells on your ankle will alert him of your presence

- Thranduil had COUNTLESS elven robes tailored especially to your size, but whenever you wear his robes, his heart just sings

- on a more saucy note, the fact he towers over you so much is a bigbig turn on to him

- he loves picking you up and spinning you around, and even though he’s a king, he will gladly give you piggyback rides for days on end if you ask him to

- because of your size, Thranduil is far more protective of you than most people

- it’s not that he sees you as inferior, he knows you can handle yourself in battle, but people have a habit of not seeing you, so they trip over you or walk into you

- and if the King hears of anything like that happening, he will not be best pleased

- so he tries his best to prevent such instances, by always having you at his side in order for others to see you, or having you stand slightly behind him so that you are protected

- your small stature is utterly adorable to him, and whenever he sees you doing literally anything at all, he finds himself smiling because you just look so cute when you exist

- he refers to you as any combinations of petnames that he can incorporate your height into

“Good evening, ai’mela(little love)”

“Did you sleep well, aier(short one)?”

“What is it that amuses you so, ai’ arwen/ai’heru(little lady/little lord)?”

- Thranduil does not tolerate anyone talking badly or laughing at your height, especially if they use that as a reason to invalidate your royal status or your marriage to him

- despite usually being a pretty calm and collected King, he has had to force Elves and other creatures alike up against walls and remind them who your protector is, whenever he’s heard of them joke about/criticise your height

- since you dont take up much room, most of the time he’ll insist that you sit on his lap and share his throne, rather than sit on your own

- this is also his best excuse at getting you close to him, so that he can admire you and kiss your features

- your body fascinates him, not just in terms of being the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen, but in a biological sense he is in awe of how all your vital organs and bones are compacted into such a small form, he thinks you’re a miracle

- again, Thranduil is apparently 6’5”, so majority of people are short in comparison to him, meaning all of these events can apply to mostly anyone

- but an especially small person? you become his little jewel, and he’ll never let you forget it

“You are like a star, ai’mela(little love).”

“How so?”

“You appear so small, but the closer I am to understanding you, the more your beauty exceeds the drop of starlight in the sky that I once thought you were.”

[samooooo1]

based on my digimon master online game, how would be like a 24 year old fem! tamer who found in her doorstep a cardboard box with 4 digieggs (wizardmon, terriermon, (fem!) lopmon (she is terriermon's younger twin sister) and meicoomon) and when they hatch as lil keemon, zerimon, kokomon, and a fluffier looking snow botamon with faint light markings (that sign that she is a meicoomon when she grows and evolve to her actual form);

and the lil keemon is the one who loves y/n a lot compared to the other 3 who like her too; with a timeskip of 2 years later with him now as a wiz giving her a flower before confessing his feelings for her and gladly she accepts his feelings.

(Credit to the artist (Artist is mentioned down there on the right side))

(Sorry but I cant picture myself this scenario, as you would have been like a mother figure to them which is why I will do platonic version but no more or less, sorry since it probably would be heading a entirely diffrent way then you wanted but such scenarios are also platonic in my eyes.)

B/f x reader

Growing closer

_____________________

It was a cold nice day, finally after 8 painfully long hours of working, since you gotta make a living somehow, you took office job and after it was finally over and since it was over, first thing you done was to watch TV, there way to many TV Series that have to be finished by you and to little time to sadly do it. After watching a couple series for some hours, you heard a sound from the door you went there, thinking what or who would do such thing this late at the day.

You have gone to your door and opended it and found.. a cardboard with some eggs in it? You were weirded out having never seen such eggs.. and big at that to, you first thought these were Ostrich eggs.. so you tried to cook them but they were to hard and couldnt break which frustrated you.

Sooo, like any person with the average IQ of -5, you used Google to try and find out what these eggs were or better say from which animal or organism they came. To your suprise, they werent any ordinary eggs.. these eggs were called Digieggs and after some throughout research you found out what will come out of these eggs, some Digimons named Botamon, Kokomon, Zerimon and Keemon, they were fictional characters from your childhood Show 20 years ago, you used to watch it so much but sadly have forgotten most of these times.

So you made sure to take them with you everywhere, as to make sure that when they hatch you can see it in a instant. After some further hours of waiting they hatched ! You saw and felt like a Mum VvV, seeing their kids being born, you were very happy :D

Now the funny part.. you dont know what they eat, nor what they can eat or not, they arent any organic organism but you decided milk and some meat should be ok for now.

You searched up their names and what they could "evolve" into, or as people would say "digievolve" into. Now you got a Keemon, small and friendly but sometimes somehow angry, how? I dont know, a Botamon, a chaotic little energy ball, a Kokomon very cute choco looking like digimon and lastly Zerimon, weird but also cute.

Now there was another small problem, you never had to take care of any kids, much less since you were a only child and pretty much got always what you wanted, you never had to do anything. Now that you were a fully responsible adult and moved away from your parents and took a job to pay rent and your living expsenes, you didnt know if you were able to take care of these little Digimon.

Sooo, you called your bestfriend over, he was at first not believing a single word you have said but the moment he was in with you.. He was fascinated, such cute little creatures? But then he asked for what reason did you actually call him.

"So... hehe, basicly if I would this alone, there be to much for me to work off... and I dont wanna be a single mum, and since we both are already bestfriends why dont you help ne :D Also these little kids need a dad."

"Wait wait wait wait- a dad? But why me!"

You mentaly slapped yourself and just gave him a unfazed stare.

"Who is a man, is my closet friend, can weirdly be a good dad, can help me and is always there for me :D"

He just sighned and.. even though to us its obvious and you being a blind person ( in terms of reading the room), he has feelings for you and taking care of them with you.

"You will be the mother?"

You just nodded VvV. "Then... eh.. should I adress you as honey then, infront of the kids?" At that point you just stared at him. Would that title suit you?... Yes, yes it would.You happily nodded.

"So we be parents then? :D" you asked, he just embarrasedly nodded and you jumped in the air, feeling all happy and friendly, atleast you wont be having to deal all this alone, you have someone by your side during all of this.He just smilled at you, how could you be so blind to his feelings but because of you.. he be doing this, out of love for you.

2 Years Timeskip~

After some years parenting, both you and B/f have come far, your small little kids that you named happily, Botamon, you named him after your Uncle, his name was Kai, and little Botamon gave some Ninjago Kai vibes off, and he always watched that show as he grew up.Kokomon, you named them Choc, because of his chocolate coulered self and his affinity to liking sweets that are always sided with chocolate flavor.Zerimon was named Lemon, he is coloured like a Lemon and loves Citrus fruits, noice which is why the both you of named him Lemon and he is the exact opposites of his sister Zerimon.Keemon was the weirdest of the bunch, he was like a clingy dog which is why ya named him Max, he wouldnt leave neither your or B/f sides, always calling you both Mum and Dad, which at times made you chuckle and B/f a blushing mess, yet as they digivoled all into their respective forms you couldnt help but smile at them and B/f and even thought it might have seemed as if you were oblivious to B/fs feelings, you werent, you also liked him but wanted just to tease him so much it also made you realise how thankful you were that he was by your side, supporting and helping you no matter what or without any complaints, so one day when it was late and the kids were sleeping, you invited him to the livingroom since before you both have sleeped seperately but now you wanted to be more then just friends, you took him to the livingroom and confessed to him.

When he heard those words from you "I like you more then a simple friend".. he cried, he was happy beyond any thing that could be scaled, this one was one of the hapiest day of his life, and yes finally after so long you are finally his. He took you by arms and hugged you, its safe to say that you both went to bed after that confession but didnt did the deed as you both were faithful followers of the lord, you saved yourself for day you both will marry.

But the both of you pray and hope that the lord will bless you both with more such happy moments , the moment that the both of you will spend together, as lovers and one flesh, just as the lord always had planned for the both of you.

Okay theyre losing tumblr privileges again

[pwusy]

im about to dm an Ever After High campaign and i just want to talk about the lore surrounding each of my player's characters so I will do it here

[ignore this thread if you are one of my players, or i will cry]

[eng isn't my first language, so i apologize if my words arent making sense]

post 1 of ?

1. Oriana Swan - Future Odette

Oriana Swan is the daughter of Odette from Swan Lake and the half-sister of Duchess Swan, the next Odile.

The fairy tale I used as a base was Barbie's Swan Lake, since my player was more comfortable with following the events of the movie rather than the original story, which was perfectly fine by me! With the only exception: in the end, when Odette defeats Rothbart, he dies, no matter the circumstances.

When it was her mother's turn to continue the story of Swan Lake, she and Rothbart made one of the biggest mistakes ever seen in the Fairy Tale universe. They fell in love. Going against the status quo and putting in risk the future of their story.

That's when the Fairy Queen (Movie character, she's the cousin of Rothbart, and the reason he went rogue. Rothbart wanted to become the next Fairy King), decided to take matter on her own hands, by also being persuaded by a mysterious and powerful creature who named themselves as the "Writer". They convinced the Fairy Queen that the only way to save their story was if she made the same actions as the past Rothbart's, cursing Rothbart and making him turn into a crow. She used Prince Siegfried and disguised him Rothbart and made Odette declare her love for the wrong man.

And as Rothbart watched Odette waltz with the wrong man, kiss him, and tell him she loved him, without having any power to stop her. Rothbart’s heart broke, and once again, love defeated the evil sorcerer because he would rather die than live without the woman he loves. A part of Odette died that day, too. Her joy and happiness left her soul as she realized what she had done, what the Fairy Queen did, and that she could never have her happily ever after no more.

And nine months after, two girls were born. One of them was born with the love and care of the Prince maiden, and the other one came out of a falling petal of a moonflower, hidden away in an attic where's only light source was the moonlight. The daughter of Prince Siegfried: Oriana Swan, and the daughter of Rothbart: Duchess Swan.

Oriana grew up as a very loved princess by her dad's kingdom and received all of the things she needed it and more. The remains of Odette’s love were given to each of her girls, and so Odette became so overly proactive of both of them. She didn't want them to step a foot on the Enchanted Forest, the fairies where monsters and that the Fairy Queen was the evilest of them all.

Duchess understood this and kept her distance, dedicating herself to practicing her ballet with her mom, since dancing was the only thing that made Odette slightly smile. But Oriana couldn't be any more difficult. Oriana loved the forest, and even though she knew what the Fairy Queen did to her mom, Oriana couldn't avoid being fascinated by forestial magic. She tried to her distance with the fairies, but she couldn't avoid them forever.

And so one day, she met this fairy boy about her same age. Rowan Fae, the next Rothbart in line. Chaos ENSURES.

Dark humor galore - YES YES that's her yeS! Major bonus points for her expressing her own twisted sense of humor in the most dorky-asf ways, always!! 🌟

Sexy bully - yeahh imho this is a hard no when it comes to humor styles to use often (if at all) with her, ESP when irt what her own sense of humor is..

That "mess with them" comment is one I'm not a fan of either tbh bc it's confusingg like you say, and also 'cause the most straightforward answers to what it probably means are.. pretty... Dumb? "Ooh, you thought I was this gender but actually I'm THIS gender haha get rekt gets em everytime" just... sucks 😭 so personally I think the best way to read it regardless of whatever it's ~supposed to~ mean is like, "Anyone who'd get super flarfed up over this honestly deserves it and I think that's funny *proceeds to be authentic gnc self* if your stupid head explodes then it explodes lmao go ahead & die about it!"

DEFINITELY her love for riot grrrl includes the fact that it was a punk feminist movement - going off her writing in the show and stuff that's been shared by woy crew behind the scenes, I think it's correct to say that she's a riot grrrl herself (but the fact that she's a feminist is easy to overlook bc being as self-centered as she is def clashes with an ideology that's inherently about caring to look out for others in addition to yourself, aka "she's this but she's not great at it bc of who she is") hence her song's intro, how she hates being "typecast as The Girl", etc.

"Personal boundaries over her body" + "pride that would prevent her from being intensely vulgar & 'degrading' her self in her view" + "No sense of sympathy for others, she just wants to destroy those puny little faces (Cute aggression over 9,000!) And it's bleak! Yeah! ...and, lonely. Woops." I believe ALL hit the nail on the head with her... with probably a piiiinch of "not caring what people think abt her or her body bc ofc she's already perfect, she's HER" mixed in for good measure! 🤏

Sexuality is not something I would have her be unhinged with because I think veering into that realm would have the unfortunate side-effect of creating some uncomfortable implications/vibes about the character. (......Side note: I'm just now realizing that I may have been using "sexy bully" to mean something dissimilar to what you first meant with it [femme fatale / weaponized feminine wiles trope™ vs 'those female anime characters that are uH...um 😨😭'] SO IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN Uh HOPEFULLY ALL OF THAT STILL MADE SENSE I dont think there's anything in what I wrote that I'd retract aside from usin that term wrong... I'd just like to add an extra, "yEAH NO SHE IS NOTTT SUPPOSED TO REALLY BE THAT, NO" for good measure hrbzBDNDMGBFVN)

Back to what I mentioned earlier about the Sexy Bully archetype not really fitting her: as cringe as much of its execution was (*stareshardatTheBattleRoyale*), the only times we ever see that trope being applied to her in-show is when it'd be the most appropriate way for her to give her enemy a false sense of security/accomplishment and/or the best way to totally humiliate them when she up and wrecks them just seconds later. She's often shown to NOT enjoy playing the part, (given her subsequent irritation towards said enemies and their feelings for her that she used against them, how she'll only ever keep up the ruse for a very short amount of time, and how she never weaponizes her feminine wiles against them ever again once she drills it into their head that she feels the total Opposite and wants to destroy them), so it's not the specific ruse itself that she favors using, rather it's that she loves crushing people's hopes so much that she'll opt to personally give somebody hope that they're going to get what they want just so she can shatter it only a moment later, just for the sadistic cruelty of it. Dominator is a character who cares a lot about being authentically and unabashedly herself, and since the Sexy Bully thing is so opposite her authentic self, it doesn't seem right to label her as being that archetype, especially when it isn't a go-to by any means, even though the trope does get used with her in bits. The fact of the matter is that she can always accomplish her victories and the inflicting of terrible harm without ever resorting to these methods... but using them capitalizes on the hope-crushing, it makes her victory-in-progress even more assured... yeah, she doesn't NEED all this, but Dominator is an overkill kind of guy, so even when the situation annoyingly calls for her mode of manipulation to be: Using The Sultry Act To Play Some Fool, she goes for it. And she pulls off that sweet, sweet bullying overkill by honestly putting the least amount of effort necessary into using her feminine wiles to preemptively salt a wound because she's not gonna apply her love of overkill to the very execution of This Thing That She Kind Of Hates Doing (it's just the fruits of the labor that she loves), no, she'll only floor it with the stuff she loves to enact (the power of incredible violence!), because there's nothing more important than what you love doing, right?

I wrote WAY more than I meant to here 😅 the TL;DR is that She's very much the "get under your skin and twist the knife" type, but when it comes to the sexy bully trope specifically, it's not something that she'd go far with, so anything that'd make you go, "hm... that's rather vulgar..." would probably be ooc I think, whereas most anything else wretched of her, she will VERY MUCH go far with, because she'll be like that with stuff that feels true to herself, and only with that kind of stuff!

ALSO I JUST REAL QUICK WANNA SCREAM ABOUT HOW COOL IT IS TO SEE SOMEBODY ELSE WHO INTERPRETED HER "WHAT— EW. NO!" AS IMPLYING HELLA PERSONAL BOUNDARIES AND ALL THAT!! BC I HONESTLY THINK SHE HAS A P DECENT AMOUNT OF THEM. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO PUT TO WORDS / EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHY, BUT YEAH! JUST SEEING SOMEBODY ELSE BE LIKE 'OK BUT THIS IS WHAT THAT REACTION COMES OFF AS POTENTIALLY SAYING ABOUT HER' IS REALLY NEAT ABDNANDS.

End note: ..I am so sorry for how long all this word-vomit is, oh my goodness. Oh, AND for missing that you reblogged with an addition that further explains what you were thinking, ahh. I saw this post when I got home from class the other day and got so excited to reply to everything there is to talk about here 😅 I started off just jotting down specific notes in my phone's notepad app one-by-one and then came back to add to it here and there and yeaaaahhh that method.. snowballed bad aosdihgvsoihshgghh 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 sorry for the insane wall of text. Wrote that massive chunk on Dom and the sexy bully archetype stupid late at night and the dormant part of my brain that gets poetic about Lord Domiantor or whatever that writing style is got activated aoahg💥 🙏

????

So I'm trying to write out some ideas for Dominion au scenes and I guess I'm questioning what kind of humor fits Dominator? She's definitely comically evil + mean spirited so there is dark humor galore (Plus with kid cosmic using death as a punchline, lmafo it makes for some dark opportunity),

but if.... sighes, If the writers really were trying to go for the "she doesn't belong in the show" anime-op-badass "sexy bully"(<<<gags I hate this approach i hate sexy bully) archetype, I have to wonder if she's conscious of herself in situations or not. In Q&A they say she loves riot grrl but she's also fine with using a guy persona to "mess with people"?? Mess with them how? Make them double take and awkwardly scramble to treat her differently? Or make them not judge her as a (gender) but as a badass foe first and foremost regardless, and being a woman is just the cherry on top? I have to wonder if her love for the riot grrl genre includes the fundamental girl empowerment (proud to be a girl), or the "don't judge me just because I am a girl! I belong here too!" aspect. Is her perspective that she is proud to be a badass woman, or does she feel she's a badass who happens to be woman therefore women must be great? She seems to use whatever tools she has at her disposal, but also has a comedic self care routine of fluffy towels and pink guest bathrooms. So she's all out evil villain, but also has sensitivities and seemingly personal boundaries with "me-time" which doesn't read entirely as the all out off the wall destroyer, but a quirky lethal evil conqueror. It matters because like, would she be a "sexy" bully that has personal boundaries over her body, or is it all in, make the others squirm and yelp? Is she vulgar and unhinged? or does she have some kind of pride that would prevent her from "degrading" her self in her view by flirting with people she sees as losers? We have characters that have a sense of pride or a sense of boundary, which can make for good kind spirited humor too, but if Dominator really doesn't belong, it's hard to discern just how far her actions would go. basically it's one of the two: A) she embodies the "intensely evil little girl" all grown up into a fearsome villainess, playing godzilla with living toys. This is within the same vein to Hater's "spoiled brat emo prince" all grown up into a manchild rockstar tyrant personality. This means she would have some personal boundaries and sense of pride, meaning she would toy with others (flirting, teasing) but not be intensely vulgar. Fits the setting of WoY pretty well, though? Is... being pretty and mean enough to be a sexy bully archetype? Ugh Man, I hate this trope lmao. It feels gross. B) She embodies the "evil no matter what" and just happens to be a woman. she relishes in bullying others and making them squirm, wanting to destroy everything in her path. She's super unhinged and even self-destructive if not careful. No sense of sympathy for others, she just. wants. to. destroy. those puny little faces. (Cute aggression over 9,000!) And it's bleak! Yeah! ...and, lonely. Woops. This means she would be very vulgar, and not care what people think about her or her body because of course she's already perfect, she's HER. This to me reads as more so the sexy bully archetype, but ignores some semblance of her softer sides like her "...friend?" moments with Sylvia or her funny reactions to things like "what? Ew--no." which imply personal boundaries. I'm writing a whole damn essay about this because I don't want to make her too vulgar if it's ooc. But... it's seriously hard to understand what the hell the writers even meant by "sexy bully" because is that just a hot mean girl? Or a get under your skin and twist the knife just "to break your heart and watch you cry" kinda thing??? HOW FAR DOES IT GO, idk idk. Frankly I wish canon Dominator was not fanservice sultry and only sporadically "maniac pixie nightmare girl" like the VA's videos implied, because that stuff was hysterically fitting for WoY. Unhinged and unfitting of the WoY universe, but in a light goofy turning instantly heavy and dark humored way.

[conspicuous-clown-car]

was asked to share about Bitzy the clown so im gonna!!

excuse anything that doesnt make sense or spelling errors i currently have a migraine lol

this is just surface level stuff that shows who they are as a person

okay so bitzy started off as a clownsona that i could imagine saying what i was really thinking to customers/coworkers whenever i got mad at them when i used worked in customer service lol, it really helped me chill out and control my emotions

they were originally a character that i imagined doing badass stuff to music when i went on 4 hour long car rides every weekend for half a year, it helped pass the time and keep me sane

but yea bitzy very early in development was just the embodiment of what customer service does to a mf

inspiration for them: The Collector from the Owl House, Steve from Big Top Burger, The Ice King from Adventure Time

they go by they/it

VERY gender, will wear anything

but will scratch at their skin if its exposed so they tend to wear clothing that covers their limbs

they have adhd and theyre autistic, they dont/are unable to mask

theyre immortal, they can die (usually it happens in the stupidest and funniest ways), but they keep coming back, because their worlds rules say that theyre supposed to be there, always

they are inorganic (by earth standards), along with everying in their world

theyre a literal creature, able to contort and warp their body into anything, usually unsettling scary shit

they became a god-like entity, accidentally

that gods purpose is to observe and experience

though they are not the leader type, preferring to be lead by someone else

they dont need to eat, sleep, or drink due to being immortal, but they occasionally do if they want

has a personal, wholesome, and wordless relationship with the one deity thats a higher being than them, but they rarely see it, about once every thousand years or so. it shows them the stars

sometimes they forget theyre a god though so they act like a mortal more often than not

they have a really bad memory, like, amnesia type bad. half is from repression, half is from head trauma when they were younger. also has constant headaches, the worse they are the more likely it'll mention them. both of these are partially a result of their powers

they arent as funny as other clowns, and theyre bad at entertaining and improv

as a clown they should enjoy performing for others, but they do not, instead preferring to do so alone and only for themself

hates being percieved and analyzed

it used to be a jester

sometimes works on cartoon-like physics

in their world theyre a wanderer, and though they have a home they dont use it often

their house is like a huge blanket/pillow fort that sort of resembles a circus tent

theyre very childish, and from an outsiders perspective they seem kinda empty headed

even though they are childish and whimsical, they HATE being babied

will get irritated if clothing is asymmetrical

favorite color is red

is fascinated with celestial things, too bad there's no sky in their world....

shorty, especially compared to other clowns, they can change their height but prefer not to (it lets people think theyre harmless)

very unpredictable, quick to irritate, never know what theyre gonna be chill about and what theyre gonna have a meltdown over

they try to refrain from hurting others though, hating the reputation they have due to....'events' that happened when they were younger, events that were not their fault

theyre very impulsive, not thinking before doing, but that doesnt mean theyre an idiot

can be incredibly stupid when it comes to certain things and incredibly smart when it comes to others

they cant navigate a conversation when theyre involved in it but if theyre just observing they can easily figure out intentions of the conversing parties, things those involved in the conversation wouldnt be able to decipher at all

many try to befriend them for selfish purposes and bitzy can tell, they can always tell, theyve always been able to tell

it doesnt have a reflection

theyre vehemently TERRIFIED of bodies of water, especially the ocean....

is also scared of being in a car, but not the car itself.... wonder why....

they find it funny to be chill and silly around people they know are terrified of them

something is clearly wrong with them, like theyre putting up a façade and ignoring how fucked up they are mentally

10,000 years of living in self inflicted isolation can get to a person

stuck in a state of dream-like escapism

escapism is a huge part of their story

loves liminal spaces, because, well, it lives in a world of nothing but that

has daddy and mommy issues, thats why theyre insane /j

very emotionally mature when someone is being vulnerable with them

great with kids surprisingly

has a cult dedicated to them that they do not approve of, but will use that fact to one up people

those who dont know of bitzys reputation are bound to insult and underestimate them, and then... well... they figure out who they are

bitzys overall mentality is "you dont fuck with me, i dont fuck with you"

has an immense appreciation for earth, and by extension humans, wonder why? they arent even supposed to exist in their world....

has a way tortured past

does not like the sound of jingling keys or keychains, it reminds them of some bad people, and stresses them out

they have a high pain tolerance but will fake getting hurt just to be dramatic

they also just tend to overreact as a joke, getting fake mad at little things just to be funny

powers can be emotion based though, and boyyyyy do they have some big emotions

has a gripe with technology

is not aware of peoples personal bubbles

never comforable enough to be vulnerable with anyone (anyone except for daydream)

despite being a chaotic and probably annoying person to be around theyre a good friend, who often puts their friends needs before their own, but they only have one friend that this is applicable to lol

can be unintentionally funny by being painfully truthful/blunt

struggles with reading due to brain damage, is more of a physically active person than a mentally active person anyways

if i havent made it clear enough, they are a complete outcast, but by no fault of their own, even before they lost their marbles they tried everything to get people to like them for them. it never worked...

theres a big 'secret' about bitzy i havent revealed yet but.... maybe this spotify playlist of songs that vaguely tell bitzys story will be a helpful hint ;3

[grapecaseschoices]

I've been waiting for this one. How does amryl feel about dame aylin 🎤

2w3eewqwe lol i was like i dont remember posting this ask game.

then i was like why would amryl care about dame aylin, it's ISOBEL that'd be the issue.

but then i recalled that aylin is a god's child. and selune's at that.

[sadly i havent gotten there yet as i had to restart amryl's run bc of a mod .... and then taveah happened, BUT]

i mean other than thinking she's hot? ... ahh, i THINK amryl would keep a respectful but cold distance from aylin. which is different from the one they keep from most as it's deliberate and [specifically] respectful. after all, aylin IS selune's child and she has respect for selune. selune is also bahamot and lathander's ally. i dont know too much about aasimars, if they have specific issues with the undead. i dont think selune does [it'd be weird if she did, you're the goddess of the moon. let the sketchy creatures be!] i think if they DO it would be a matter of you HAVE to work with me: (which would make it a bit smug) but the energy would shift. it'd be more you owe me your life, so don't even think about threatening mine. and it would be more leery of aylin. [and them finding her hot would be more >/ than a passing, appreciative notice lmao]

i think it would tolerate aylin bc parts of aylin reminds it of wyll and shadowheart. and they would also appreciate a dedication to one's god. as amryl is very dedicated.

as for aylin being a chiild of a god ... it would be a sorta weird thing. i dont think they would ask questions, but they would watch how that interaction/fact effects aylin. you'd think between isyl and amryl, that amryl was the sibling with amnesia lmao [though, honestly, bc reason's amryl's memories ARENT the best but they are far from durge level]. bc they really dont ... acknowledge the fact that they have a sibling. it tries very hard not to think about it [and in doing so it weighs very heavy, imo. (there is a reason why amryl's pinboard title for amryl is 'this is my sibling and i need a shovel to love xyr' as a opposed to isyl's 'one is always the watcher, the other the dancer'. bc the existence of isyl and amryl's feelings are a heavy blanket that it doesn't want on their shoulders but can't shake off ... doesn't really want to shake off, so they pretend it's not there. like they're not wearing a shroud) but they really want i think to focus on the now. i dont think it even knows that isyl is alive. i havent pondered that yet]

so tl;dr: if aylin is cool with the undead, amryl will treat her with respectful indifference lmao. maybe indifference isnt the word ... she will appreciate aylin as an ally and find her fascinating, a nd probably tolerate her more than it would most people like aylin [bc of the selune connection, bc of aylin's zeal and zest and manner of speech]. but if aylin, amryl will be more with a wall between them -- until it's the opportunity to hold aylin's debt to them over her head.

if aylin is pro-undead, amryl will definitely take the time to ponder her and aylin's connection as a child of a god

but if she isn't amryl just wont bother ... much lmao.

i have NO IDEA if this is what you were looking for! but it gave me food for thought!

[geroya]

things that make you go hmmmm 🤔 (constant snake sightings) (but considering their recent recurrences what do you think of snakes in general? do you like snakes? what are the vibes you get from snakes?) *KEESES*

i am very hmmmmm 🤔🤔 rn esp for what it could mean for me exactly !

as for what i think of snakes! i think they're very interesting creatures & i like them a lot. i used to watch the garden snakes i would find in my backyard &, when i was really young, catch them just to hold them in my hand & have them wrap their tiny bodies around my fingers before letting them go. it was such a strange feeling, how cold they feel? & their scales ! & knowing that they could like idk bite me at any moment (even tho garden snakes, ive always been told, aren't venomous). i was also really fascinated by the cotton mouths we used to see at the lake where we fished. always just. watching me in return in the summertime. idk.

i just find snakes really cool even if it's kind of scary to think about how dangerous they can be if you cross paths with them, even those that ARENT venomous. like being bitten in the wrong place or multiple times? being constricted by a python's full body? (even if they arent here & are usually only loose bc someone's pet was dumped) that can be just as dangerous as a snake that's venomous ! & idk idk how to like explain the sort of feeling i have for snakes. respect is probably the closest word to the feeling. fascination, absolutely. like. if i just leave them alone, let them do their thing, they will leave me alone & we can both just go on with our lives. but it's also exciting (in a nerve-wracking heart pounding sort of way) to be around one.

i'd wanted one as a pet once ! i cant remember where my desire went though.

[bulbabutt]

i genuinely cannot believe you read a post where someone said "this text reeks of christian propaganda and that frustrates me" and decided to say "you dont understand the christian text, let me explain what christians believe"

it leads me to believe that despite calling yourself an ex-christian that you haven't grappled with what that really means. you arent grasping that cultural christianity is the entire problem im having. youve basically reworded and explained away any problems as "its like this in christianity". like yes. that is the problem. that is a negative aspect to the story. it speaks to you not growing in society as an outsider to cultural christianity that you cannot see that, and that you havent grown past the indoctrination you probably grew up with. maybe you dont go to church anymore, but arguing that it means more to the world that the robots have literal tangible souls now speaks to how you still believe in that concept.

to be clear: im watching all of transformers chronologically. ive not read idw. i am currently in the middle of prime wars, and just witness megatronus, god of decepticons come out of a firey portal from below. like. jesus thats heavy handed.

to be very clear your statement as a whole here is extremely flawed.

"Humans fulfill the narrative role of robots in Transformers"

i dont think you know much about sci fi robots if you think humans in this universe could take their place in this narrative. the argument for human life in the eyes of the transformer in this universe is more like the argument that an ant has life compared to you. humans are short lived biological creatures, they seem like an accident to a million year old robot.

that is not following the logic of the organic being creating a synthetic one to do its labour, it doesnt ask the question 'we made this being, is it alive? does its life have value, or is it property?'

to get a grasp on the concept im talking about, i recommend you to watch some star trek to learn about what im talking about, this very famous scene comes to mind:

this is not an argument you can make of humans fulfilling the role. this is why we make media about robots. and you might say "well it doesnt have to be the only one" correct, but why does what replaces it need to be some divine intervention? some one to one christian doctrine? youve said it yourself, yet youre not grasping the concept of that being negative.

yes, the robots are more alien than robot, but why? they used to be robots with life outside of 'soul'. they used to be alive without us needing to be able to explain it. heres something seaspray says when his friend worries his lack of what she sees as 'soul' will get him killed:

"Maybe that is all I am, a bunch of transistors and bolts, but I don't believe it! My heart may look like an energon pump but that doesn't mean it can't feel."

its boring to take this concept away to just retell the bible, a story that culturally everyone knows, religious or not. it comes from a patriarchal worldview, the all powerful father who grants us life. it was far more compelling an argument to have the robots be alive despite the lack of what a human would call 'a soul'. the robot represents interesting things, and in g1 it still did.

in g1 they were created by another being, the quintesson. an alien who designed them to be their slaves. the robots rose up against their makers, and its been so long since then they have forgotten. their creators arent an all powerful good being, they are beings who dont value any life outside their own. they hold courts where they view innocence as punishable by death, yet they created our beloved transformers. it makes the transformers more alive to see them as so autonomous in this narrative. here's a fascinating quote from rodimus prime about them:

"We Transformers have looked into the face of our creators...and we have seen the face of an enemy."

this makes them more alive to me then any idea of a life spark ever could. they were beings rebelling against a status quo, thinking and feeling, finding injustice in their existence. taking charge of their autonomy. the fact the quintesson is an enemy to both autobot and decepticon is beautiful, it says something interesting. far more interesting than the idea that a god grants them life and they need to serve him and his worldview, and if you dont then you are the outsider, the decepticon.

also just some quick points of why its bad to base this story on the bible that you havent grappled with:

solus prime is the only female prime. she dies and her body becomes the well of all sparks, also known as the birthing canal of cybertron. woman created in mans image, showing her as deviation from the norm and that her purpose is biological to the lives of men.

we have a divine right of kings. a divine right of primes if you will. the governing system in power has a divine right to be there, creating a pope like figure in whoever leads. do i need to explain why we dont do kings anymore? its a hierachal system that benefits those in power and crushes those who arent.

the decepticons are now the othered, no longer tyrants who are power hungry, but outsiders who have no rights because they do not believe in our beliefs. many examples of why thats bad in the real world.

if the decepticons are the othered, then the autobots are the rulers. it indoctrinates the viewer into seeing the othered as evil. they fight for their rights, but why? do not question it, they do not believe in our beliefs.

it makes the viewer not question authority. why is robots in disguise full of copaganda? it seems for a moment that it will end with us learning the high council is bad and has indoctrinated the planet, but no! its okay it was just those evil decepticons! you know, the ones we hunted down and placed in stasis prison pods for god knows how long? thats where they go, because they are evil and we are good. into the pods you go.

i really charge you to grapple with your own world view. do not claim to be an ex-christian but believe in their beliefs, or if not believe, defend their perspective. all we ever hear about is that perspective. if you are atheist or just a non christian religious person these things seem a lot more obvious. its unfortunate to me that a more interesting more original story could have been told, but it all went out the window to make way for the bible. the fact you are brushing that off is insane to me.

id say maybe im wrong for going off so hard about this toy commercial franchise, but clearly its sending a poor message and people like you havent grasped it yet.

not to still be all up in arms about the transformers religion but holy fuck, robots having religion is nothing new, they can have theology! that makes sense! robots who are fully sentient seeking out a reason for their souls is totally fine! im not saying the transformers shouldnt believe in primus or the all spark or believe in the 13 primes that whole thing works, it just bothers me that the canon of their religion is canon to the story. why is their planet LITERALLY their god. why is their religion based in literal history. i shouldnt even call it their religion, its just their canonical history. thats the problem! it comes from the perspective of writers who see religious doctrine as real history!

it also sucks for the nature of the robot as a concept! instead of being machines so advanced they are sentient, they are now fully formed beings granted souls by their god. thats no longer synthetic life conceptually, is it? that is a higher being creating life out of nothing. the concept of robots comes from slave labour, machines created by man to further their own advancements. machines created by organic life, not machines granted life by an ethereal being. they were created as commentary on capitalism. it asks the question "if this life is created synthetically, but it forms sentient thought, it is alive?". most other stories containing robots do this. think about overwatch's omnics, mass effects geth, star trek characters like data and the doctor, we the audience see them as alive but people in their worlds have to debate about it. that is the point of science fiction, to have theological discussions about robots.

what disappoints me about transformers isnt the changing of the lore, but the fact they couldnt conceive of anything more interesting to say about robots. i was watching g1 thinking "i cant wait to see future adaptations take this concept and flesh it out", and watching these adaptations strip the nature of the robot entirely from the lore in place of some all powerful god really sucks! imagine if their theology was the same, but their history was not. imagine robots who believe their planet is their god in spite of not actually knowing that to be true. wouldnt that be conceptually more interesting? wouldnt that say something?

instead of a unicron who is just a cosmic horror, a rogue planet who hungers for other worlds to sustain itself, unicron now represents all evil in the universe. hes a being of pure evil, existing as the equal and opposite to the canonically good god primus, the planet of cybertron. that ruins the concept to me. theyre taking the fun of science fiction out of it, turning it into basic "all good in the universe comes from god". it takes the choice of being good or evil out of it. giving them literal souls takes them choosing to say they have souls out of it. it takes the choice of valuing biological life away from the robots themselves to say that it is simply evil to not.

maybe some adaptation i havent gotten to yet will say something else, but as it stands right now im just so disappointed that this is the route it took.

Michael Sheen on playing fantasy creatures, angels and the concept of goodness ❤. (MCM Comic Con, 30.10.2022)

Q: You've play a variety of various monsters over the years, like, various fantasy creatures, you've played: Lucian in Underworld, you've done Aro in Twilight, you've done both briefly Crowley but you've definitely done Aziraphale in Good Omens, who was your favourite to play and are there any, like, mythical creatureas that you still want to do?

Michael: Ooh, it's a good question. Well, because there's such a sort of tradition of vampires, you know, and I do like - having said that I don't like horror films, partly because I'm so... they have such power over me in a way and I'm so sort of sensitive to that material, that's partly why I didn't watch things - but I've always been fascinated by vampires and what they represent to us, what they symbolize to us, and how they've changed over the generations, you know, each generation sort of finds its own version of vampire, so doing twilight was part of that and I saw how that had affected my daughter those books and that story had affected my daughter and that you could see that was a very powerful thing and then, you know, werewolves as well, the idea of men and women, I suppose, who've... their anger and their appetite just sort of overtakes them, I mean, that's true of lot of them, arent' they, vampires as well, but I've always been drawn to all that... but in a way that challenge of playing an angel has been the one I enjoyed the most because I am sort of fascinated by goodness, what is it to be good and the concept of goodness and that we as a sociaty tend sort of undervalue goodness, it's sort of seen as somehow week and a bit nimby and 'oh it's nice' and, you know, not... and I think that to be good takes enormous reserves of courage and stamina, and... I mean, you have to look the dark in the face to be truly good and to be truly of the light and it takes such courage, and the most, the bravest people I've ever come across in my life are people who've gone through terrible tragedy and terrible pain and terrible grief, and have somehow managed to turn that into something positive, to make positive change for other people, and whenever I've met anyone who's done that I always think it's a miracle, it's an absolute miracle, and the idea that goodness is somehow lesser and less interesting and not as kind of muscular and as passionate and as fierce as evil somehow and darknes I think is nonsense. So the idea of being able to portray an angel, a being of love and... I loved seeing the things that people put online about angels being ferocious creatures and I love that, I think that's a really good representation of goodness can be, what it should be I suppose. So, yes, so I'm gonna say: the angel.

oh god this is so long.

for one. that antlion pokemon. i revamped it to be more of an aquatic pokemon -- it's a little squid guy, that hang together in little groups and dig themselves into little circular holes in the ice. when you step over them, they all leap out at once and bite you! they evolve into another bigger squid guy. it's like the kraken + a bear trap. when you step over them, they SNAP their beak shut around you and drag you into the water. though thankfully, they only hunt very heavy + big pokemon SUCH AS the lunbare. the lunbare is the second evolution of the lounburr, which is a small rodentlike creature that lives in bushes. theyre super tiny and spiky. low speed stats but high defense stats. these swap when the lounburr evolve into lunbare, large bear-like pokemon that used to be used by lumberjacks in the region due to their HUGE heavy swinging axe-tails and incredible stamina. theres a couple others (rimesok, grityto, the gliding electric type pokemon and the sleeping mountain pokemon) but those arent as developed so i dont wanna write about them yet.

the story is pretty simple i think, youre travelling with your best friend (rival!) across the world and discovering historical artifacts. your best friend is more enthusiastic than you are about it but you tag along because they're awesome. something something, you both travel (unimportant, but neither you nor your rival have ever fought in trainer or wild pokemon battles before. your rival has a single pokemon who they have for the sole purpose of flying around with.) to this ancient sort of abandoned icy wasteland region in search of cool new history to study and come across some crazy team that has their base set up here. you think nothing of it, for the most part, and instead you two just spend most of your time helping the local professor do some stuff, as well as take your time with your rival to study the murals and ancient artifacts of this long forgotten region, but also take some time to check out the gyms. the story progresses as per usual, occasionally encountering those members of the team you did before. you and your rival take up pokemon from the professor and begin to battle each other for fun. however, your rival tends to take these battles much more seriously than you do.

on an expedition with your rival, you both accidentally discover the team plans to awaken ancient legendary pokemon (the sleeping mountains) who could bring about the destruction of the world if awoken together. it is an accident, but the team members see you both and leave the cave, but not without taking what they wanted and causing a cave-in.

and THAT is when you first meet barrewulf. the two of you are desperately trying to find some other way out, when barrewulf CHARGES in and snatches you both just before the cave collapses. when you're out of the cave, it vanishes.

i cant quite think past this point My writing juices have vanished BUT... in short, your rival becomes increasingly interested in the team's efforts, and gradually more and more frustrated with your increasing strength in battles. it all comes to an apex point where they are captured by the team due to their intelligence as an archeologist (?? ithink) and begin to think "hm. this team appreciates my talents... i'm worth something here." while you are desperately fighting through the team's base (perhaps alongside the professor! i don't know who they are yet but i planned to have them be significant in some way. they're very old, and have been here since before the land went to waste.) trying to get to them. perhaps when you finally find them, they're in a room with the team's leader. youre about to beat the fuck out of the team leader (when i said you had no pokemon fighting experience i never said you had no FIGHTING experience.) when your rival goes between you two. they tell you that you can all stop this right now. they tell you how fascinating the team's efforts are to revive the past life of this land, that you and them can JOIN the team, together! or something like that. you deny this, telling them how dangerous it is and how it could lead to the deaths of many. idk i feel like this is getting too dramatic so LONG STORY SHORT they get pissed, telling you how youve always held them back and acted like they were worthless to you. they challenge you to a battle. simple rules -- you lose, you join. you win, you leave. considering how pokemon works, you win. theyre furious, but have to leave for whatever reason because Hey this base is Compromised now or something. okay i cant finish this its too dramatic but. you get my idea

just woke up i had a cool dream about a new pokemon game entirely staged in a new region which was literally all snowy mountains. every pokemon was some form of suited to the cold and ice types were Way. Stronger here. also strangely enough there was a LOT of awuatic pokemon like A Lot. the game starts off with my parents (?? like pokemonnparents not my real parents) sending me off at the airport to the mountains.Alone . and then i dont remember anything between th at and the end. the end was just a bunch of fainted aquatic pokemon resting in a snowbank while i fiddled with revives and potions and then suddenly i. heard this Whirring. and i look over the edge of the cliff to see a FUCKING SHARPEDO (but varied to this region. it was different, it took on the aopearance of a snow mobile and was a ghost/ice type) CLIMBING UP THE PATHWAY ON THE SIDE OF TTHE MOUNTAIN. SO I WAS LIKE FREAKINGOUT TRYING TO HEAL MY POKEMON AND SHIT ANDNIT . COEMS UP. AND ITs surprisingly peaceful? upon seeing all my weakened pokemon... SIKE IT FUCKING ATTACKS ME AND WE START A BATTLE. AND APParently the storu revolves around this one specific sharpedo. but thats not important bc i dont remember anything after that other than me trying to capture it

there was a couple new pokemon i remember. one was called barrewulf and it was a big dog pokemon that like. u know rhe ones that dig people out of snow? Those. and there was another pokemon that idfk the name of but it was like.. an antlion but for Icy lakes. it would carve holes in the ice and replace that spot of ice with the huge fake block of ice on their bacjks, then flip over and drag you under when you stepped on them. i think it was either ice water or just straight up Dark

Tell me about your favorite animal that like, logically shouldn't have made it this far but against all odds is still existing

okay i am going to give an animal example and an insect example because this question is just very good, thank u kat 

okay starting with an animal i am picking a favorite invertebrate of mine, the horseshoe crab. 

now what i find SO fascinating about these animals is that they’ve remained basically unchanged in their estimated 480 million year history on the planet. i mean, the current specimens we study are almost identical to the fossils that have been discovered of them! they are fantastic and strange little creatures! however, the reason for this is basically, they found the right formula to survive very early on in the planets life, and why fix what isn’t broken? i mean, the “prosoma” or the head of the animal houses all of its vital organs and two most apparent eyes, has its 6 appendages underneath it, all while being covered by a hard dome like shell that protects all of these sensitive parts of the organism. you might’ve heard me say two most apparent eyes, and yes this was not a slip of the tongue because horseshoe crabs have NINE eyes on their body and several more light receptors near their tails! overall, these guys are so strange, are known as “living fossils”, and against the odds have made it 480 million years. they’re great. 

ANYWAYS 

onto my favorite insect that should not exist in any form but it does. the vinegaroon! 

also known as a whip scorpion, these guys are SO NEAT and i love them so DEARLY. despite looking like terrifying dangerous alien creatures, these guys are pretty much harmless bumbling fools and they are so neat. classified as arachnids, these guys are similar to scorpions in the way that their first set of legs have become a modified pair of pincers called pedipalps! and earlier i mentioned them being “pretty much” harmless, and yes much like every being on this planet, they arent without their own set of defense mechanisms. one of the vinegaroons defenses is actually how it got its name! when threatened the specimen will spray a vinegar-like smelling liquid that contains acetic acid; and while this acid is not very painful to humans, it will burn potential smaller predators. alongside the pedipalps that can be used to pinch, the vinegaroon also has a set of powerful chelicerae or mouth parts that can also deliver a powerful pinch when threatened. however scary this may sound, vinegaroons are often kept as pets within the insect community and they are very handleable and calm! theyre so cool and alien and i adore them!
