Best to worse hygiene in the Chain:

Part 2

4. First

• Alright so he was kept in a dungeon and tortured for a bit so at that time bathing wasn't such a big thing for him. But once he got out and had a dip, he decided that water was the most glorious thing for Hylians to have.

• He likes to soak in a cold bath for a long while. It's therapeutic for him and it soothes the scars littering his body.

• He does search for a body of water when they make camp for the night just so that he can wash up. He doesn't care how far he has to walk to the water - he's going to have the next best thing to therapy for himself.

• I also see him going and making sure that the younger Link's take regular baths as well. He's not as bad as Legend and Time with it but he us very persistent with the subject.

• First doesn't really use too much products like Wars and Legend, but he has his own that he specifically uses with more calming scents or those of a Middle aged man like Old Spice.

• Of course he is a knight that we know, but I don't think he'd be all that with the idea of being over hygienic. The regular and simple hygiene is fine with him, taking baths regularly, washing your hands, etc.

5. Fierce Diety

• The reason why I scored him so high is because although he is a literal War God, he's not one to like the aftermath per say.

• He might not be bothered by the sight of blood and gore or it getting on himself. But I fairly believe he likes to keep himself neat and orderly - meaning he does do a thorough wash up after.

• He wouldn't like the iron smell on him from the blood and all.

• He might not bathe every single day, but he does every second or third day when he's not covered in blood. He also has a routine that he follows with how he showers/bathes. First a good shower and then a bath.

• He does keep up with hygiene like washing his hands regularly because of his title as a War God.

• He's not picky with the smell of the soap or shampoo but he does have a preference for the more earthy type smells like pine or something similar to the forest.

6. Four

• He's a smith my people, he does sweat alot and ends up smelling like he hasn't bathed in weeks. He doesn't like the smell of sweat and it makes him feel gross when it feels like the heat is making his clothes stick to him.

• He bathes everyday but he doesn't always wash his hair. He's got certain days that he deticates for doing his hair care routine. Can't argue with me, just LOOK at his silky hair.

• Not only with his occupation, his other selves (Red, Blue, Vio, Green) also have their own preferences on cleanliness. They are the main reason for Fours awareness about his hygiene.

•  Blue doesn't mind the smell of sweat as much as the other colours. But he does hate it when his face and hair get dirty/oily.

•  Red and Vio are both the clean freaks out of the colours. At first it won't bother them as much but after a good 30 minutes their both wanting nothing more than to take a nice bath and scrub the guck gone.

•  Green is the one to take action of going and washing up after he notices any dirt. He keeps his hands clean to the best of his ability even while working.

CRAZY THEORY INCOMING

I think my brain just glitched...

Ok so... Camelot. Arthur made Camelot through the power of Chaos right. At first, I found it weird that Arthur even needed to steal parts of Britannia to make Camelot. Chaos is incredibly powerful, it literally made three powerful deities that made their own realms for their own created races. So... why can't Arthur just make Camelot on its own. Then, it was later established that these places and people in Camelot are made through the wishes and wants of the people, without it there's nothing. If Chaos is so powerful, why is Arthur limited through that? Then it clicked.

The Sacred Tree is still alive

The Sacred Tree is essentially an embodiment of Nature. Disaster, a power granted by The Sacred Tree to the Fairy Kings is an ability that grants control over life and death.

The 'people' within Camelot function like a physical illusion. They're 'alive' but not really. They're just there, fueled by a wish. They don't even grow old, they just stay like that because that's all they are an illusion, they're not alive because there's no life.

The Demon King's power is darkness. The Supreme Diety's power is light. The Sacred Tree's power is life.

Notice how unnatural-looking the Chaos monsters are. Almost demonic even. That, to me, shows that Chaos is unstable.

The Demon King and his Commandments and The Supreme Deity and her graces are somewhat of an extension of themselves, it's their power passed to others. If we correlate this to Chaos creating the DK, SD and ST as Chaos sacrificing parts of their power, that power is lost or weakened because they have it. But the DK and SD are no longer present and since they are created by Chaos, that power most likely goes back to it. That is my assumption at least. But the graces are still out there. Ludo, Sariel, and Tarmiel died with their graces so they'll just go back after a few thousand years with their graces so that part of the SD probably didn't even go back to Chaos.

I made a post way back and on that, I compared the Commandments and Graces to Disaster as all three are just an extension of the DK, SD, and ST's power, in there I noted how Disaster is different as all three Fairy Kings can use it even if they're all present, it's not like the Commandments and Graces that only one person can use it. So that is also interesting.

There is also a complete lack of Sacred Tree information and just now, in 4kota is literally the first time we ever step foot inside the Fairy Realm and we got more Fairy Lore which is really nice. Now, what if the reason behind the lack of information about the Sacred Tree is because of Chaos. Nakaba doesn't want us to know anything about Chaos up until the very end because of 4kota, because he wants to keep Chaos a mystery.

In Chapter 140, Tioreh told us about these giant mushrooms that grow on top of the Sacred Tree's roots that are called "God Seats". The DK and SD are the only ones primarily dubbed as Gods. So that part is also interesting.

This is the Demon King's last words to Meliodas.

"You will regret this..."

In Cursed By Light, before Meliodas and Zeldris beat the Supreme Deity, she says that the only way to maintain balance in the world is by continuing the Holy War.

Before Chaos is established, this is just nonsense. But now that we know... I have a feeling that the DK and SD sealing away Chaos has more to it than what we know. Also, isn't it fun that two beings born to be in conflict with one another worked together to seal Chaos? Now, we don't get to know more because they're gone but the Sacred Tree is still around... so there's that.

I have a huge feeling that Nakaba will give us some juicy lore about the Sacred Tree in the future. Either that or I'm high on copium.

[neverchecking]

Imagine a whole ass debate with a rebuttal and everything 💀

Warriors is citing his time as captain or wtv and that he’s reliable and protective (rebuttal would probably be about how he can’t retire from that job for a long time and it’s very taxing)

Legend has a ton of protective gear and he’s just really cute (rebuttal would be abt his hoarder tendencies)

Sky is one of the firsts so of course his child should be first but also he’s well educated kinda, good with kids, has a tight knit community, and has a super cool bird the kids could ride (rebuttal, he’s in the fucking sky. What if the kid just jumped off)

Twilight has a ranch and a horse. Good with animals, works at home kinda, can become a fluffy dog (rebuttal me personally I’m mildly allergic to dogs, and also ranches take up a lot of time. As a country person I know, I know it all too well)

Wild has long hair the kids could braid. Has horses, can cook a good meal, doesn’t get tired of cooking, has a thing he can take pictures on, well travelled. (Rebuttal he does some stupid ass shit bro, and also he isn’t always considering what his actions do. What if he does something stupid and gets seriously injured and the kids and reader are like fending for themselves for a bit)

Time. He’s responsible, a good leader, the oldest, has cool markings. (Rebuttal. What the fuck happened with the moon. Also FD mask, what if the kids got their hands on this super dangerous mask that has a god inside of it. Assuming that FD isn’t unleashed alr)

Hyrule. HES SUCH A CUTIE OMG. He’s half fairy, good with kids, soft, inviting, can literally heal (rebuttal, the blood curse. What if the kids inherit it cause like genetics and stuff)

Four. Works at home kinda, he’s also a cutie. Could make little toys, is good under pressure, is around their height, good playmate (rebuttal. If the smithing area is inside the house easy access to burns. Also the four sword is a thing)

Sage. Has nice hair as well. Protective, has two houses technically, can fuse things together, can make cool little things to ride around on with reader and children (rebuttal. He can make literal torture machines, and he’s a little unhinged. Also Wth is up with his world. That place is not safe at all)

Fierce Diety. A literal god. (Rebuttal. A literal god. Does godliness get passed down, idk but he’s also like really tall and that’d hurt a lot. Like procreation and having fucking this dude who’s built like an actual monster’s kids pop outta yah)

I don’t have a good read and cal but pretty much the same stuff abt Sage and wild. Just a different font.

HBGFIFBND SKY'S NF9FF 'What if the Kid just jumped off?'

THAT LITERALLY TOOK ME OUT-

I also love how a point in all of this is whether or not their hair is good. That's an incredibly important point.

Wars I love because his job would take a lot of his time. But because of said job, mans is loaded. So money is another good stand point for him. (Rebuttal: He had a literal time and space wizard-ess after him??? imagine her going after your kid man-)

Legend is someone who has seen everything. So he is so smooth and steady, nothing really phases him anymore. Including anything your kid brings to the table. (Rebuttal: He's an asshole. I guarantee any of his spawn are also assholes)

Sky is literally hug shaped. He would be the cuddliest dad and so affectionate <3 (Rebuttal: I deadass almost couldn't come up with anything- mans is such a helicopter parent. His kid couldn't even breath without him being there)

Twilight is also so dad shaped. Like, look at him. As someone who also lives in the countryside, I know he's the dad to hold his kid close, watching the sunset as he explains some far off tale. (Rebuttal: Is the 'Just rub dirt in it' dad.)

Wild. His horses are a great point. But, he also has so much energy? He can take all the night shifts with no problem. Can make meals filled with both vitamins for post-partum and energy boosting effects that taste Amazing. (Rebuttal: He has ghosts. Just following him. Like??? Those can't be good babysitters???)

Time. He's so calm and patient. So anytime the baby gets to be too much for Reader, he's easily stepping in and swooping them up, settling them within seconds. (Rebuttal: Fought the fucking moon- Also, has farts that are comparable to an actual try on your life. Idk what this man eats, but someone has got to find what crawled up his butt and died)

Hyrule. Loml. I love him. Gibe him smooch- He has babysitters out the freaking door. His sisters absolutely adore you and your baby and bring the best presents. (Rebuttal: Yeah that blood thing is pretty bad, but he also is the worst at saying no to your kid. That kid will be so spoiled and you'll be forced to be the stricter parent)

Four. He's also got babysitters. That are him! Win-win! Can handle multiple things at once and should the colors be needed, he's got that male relative that I'm still uncertain about! (Rebuttal: Talks to your kid like their both men in their fifties sitting in a bar, catching up after years lmao)

Sage! Great hair. Also cool arm. Has two houses, but that asshole princess took one, bitch. BUT he also has horses :D AND DonDons. We love those guys. Can also cook and he's the dad to walk around shirtless with the kid on his chest, napping, while he does one thing or another. He is also rich because he cheats the system--I.E. the universe. (Rebuttal: Yo wtf is UP with those hands in the ground?! And the TREES?! Nothing is safe. Also, the sages? Not great babysitters. Especially his giant robot. That one is not the worst however. That's Sidon's title.)

Fierce Deity. He can reach the top shelf. He's got a cool sword. He's got a nice face, would like to sit on it. He also is super old and probably super wise. Probably. (Rebuttal: LDNFNG I LOVE YOURS SM I- YEAH, TEARING FROM THE V TO THE A JUST BIRTHING HIS FUCKING KID)

For Cal, may I offer-

Calamity. Strong knight and used to following the orders of those above him, especially his Goddess and his child. He would go to the ends of the heavens and hells should it be what they wish (Rebuttal; Mans has the emotional capacity of a fucking Rock. Also, he eats rocks. Imagine your kid just eating rocks because their dad did. Return them both/hj)

So obviously, with all these options, pros and cons, there is only one real option.

Courage and Koridai.

Nah I'm fucking with you-

First. I see no flaws with this man and if there are some I don't wanna hear 'em.

[charmedreincarnation]

Hi charm idk if you’re on break but I just wanted to ask something abt how you started manifesting like idk bc this states stuff is very confusing and I trust your judgment. Did you begin your journey with states ?? And how did you overcome your 3D to occupy the right state especially since you openly talk about your hard circumstances

Hi love ! I’m not on a break right now I’m just not as active haha :)! Also no, I did not use the concept of states back in 2020/2021 when I actually started shifting and manifesting successfully. I wasn’t on tumblr, and tho I knew about Neville Goddard, I can’t lie I did not care. I was trying to manifest and shift without reading tedious essays I didn’t care about. Like I said, I had horrible circumstances so no offense the “having it in imagination” wasn’t going to cut it back then. I use, acknowledge, and like states now.. but of course it’s easier for me now because I’ve already been shifting successfully and manifested my dream life already. It’s easier to fulfill my state when I already know it’s going to work. i can’t say it would have been the same when I started lol

I didn’t join tumblr until the end of 2022/ the beginning of 2023 so I didn’t know the Terminology of states, affirm and persist, etc and I definitely would not have cared back in 2020/2021 when I was beginning my journey Fr. I started manifesting successfully literally using whatever made me happy. I didn’t know techniques, I definitely didn’t care about Neville at the time, and I wanted to shift and manifest more than anything in the world. All I did was write down my desires everyday, visualize 24/7, and affirm to myself in the mirror whenever I wanted.

And before the terminology tyrants come, yes I’m aware I was occupying states. But who cares what I was using if at the time I didn’t know what it was called, or what it was. If you tried to explain to me what states was at the time, I honestly would have told you to eat my ass tbh bc I would not care about that stuff at all. All I knew was repetition and positivity was helping me get my dream life… so I couldn’t have cared less if it was witch craft or satanism 😭 Especially since I was trying to escape my undesired circumstances, again if you told me to fulfill it in my imagination because that’s all that matter, I would have blocked you.

It’s true for me now, yes because I talk about that all the time, but I’m also aware it’s easier for me to say that now that I know it’s real and is 100% worth it. If you’re having trouble manifesting or using states, literally just go back to the basics, and be so consistent. It won’t fail you if you persist.

Also this reminds me, I was actually on amino and we had a similar problem. I hindered my journey dropping what I knew worked for me to try the trend of “shadow work, dieties, and spirit guide work” because that’s what people preached I needed to do. I didn’t care about that stuff at the time but I thought since that was trending it had to work and resonate with me or else I would never succeed. Nothing worked for me until I went back to what I knew was true for me. Which was my original “methods” I already talked about above. No one’s forcing you to understand or like something that doesn’t resonate with you. Just don’t be rude or argue with people who like states lmfao. Even if everyone in the world is talking about states that doesn’t mean you have to follow them.

Ok I’m in my “hades hades hades rant hades” phaze today so here’s it

People forget hades is the one who CONTROLS death. He’s not the god of death, no that Thanatos, but he is of the god of dead

He might not be the one to personally take up your soul, but he’s the one who controls and holds it, there’s a reason why Thanatos works for hades, and isn’t the one controlling the dead

He’s the one who chooses your fate after death

He’s the one who is the ruler of death and everything else that comes withe it

Nyx the one Zeus fears? He shared a domain withe them, and Nyx ALLOWED him to be the ruler

Erebus, who used to be the supreme deity after upsurping chaos? HE ALLOWS HADES TO BE THE RULER OF THE DOMAIN

You have to think about it for a second

Hades was the first god ever

Zeus and all them thought that they gave hades a ruler of a seemingly worse domain then theirs

Because Zeus couldn’t control the underworld

The underworld before hades came along to rule over it was the closest thing to the beginning of the universe. A blank emptiness of seemingly nothing but in reality housed chaos and Nyx and Erebus and all the original deities that are literally a domain, they are not gods of a thing, THEY ARE THE THING

and Zeus saw that and was like Ope can’t control that

So he gave the rule to hades, thinking oh he can’t control this this is just a place to put him since I have to go withe my agreement of giving them part of the world BUT dont want to

So he gave hades the underworld thinking it would crush him

BUT IT DIDNT

HADES SEEMIINGLY WEAKEST OD THE THREE RULED THE UNRULABLE DOMAIN OF DEATH

And what’s even more is that he’s not as powerful as Nyx or Erebus, BUT THEY LET HIM RULE THEIR DOMAIN

And he doesn’t control it, no no you can’t control it that’s the wrong thing Zeus was trying to do

No no hades gave order to it, he compromised withe it, and since the underworld is literally a diety of its own, he doesn’t control it he brings order to literally chaos

He gives the underworld a purpose, a house for the dead

He allows equal power and doesn’t try to be a tyrant to the deities that were already there

He works among side them

And you have to remeber

Kronos was also the seemingly weakest of his siblings, and he was then made king of the cosmos supreme ruler of all

Oh also

Hades literally houses the monsters of Tartarus

HE LITERALLY IS THE RULER OF TARTARUS

WHICH HOUSES THE MOTHER AND FATBER OF MONSTERS

TYPHON AND ECHIDNA

TYPHON IS LITERALLY THE MSOT POWERFUL GREEK MYTHOLOGY ENTITY AND IS ONLY CONTAINED DUE TO ENTRAPMENT OF ALL THE GODS COMBINED PUT TOGETHWR

AND HADES IS TASKED WITHE THE RULE OF RULING OVER THEM

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE TARTARUS HOUSES???

KRONOS

HIM

SELF

THE PEICES OF KRONOS WERE CAST INTO THE SEA IN SOME MYTHS

BUT MOST AGREE THAT THEY WERE EITHER FIEST PUT IN TARTARUS OR ENDED UP THERE SOMEWAYS

Hades literally has the world in his hands, he may not control a seemingly better deal domain, but everything comes to his control sooner or later.

How did you find your patreon dieties?

Or even, how did they find you?

OOH! My first question this is so exciting thank you for asking! So it practically all began when I felt like I was seeing signs from Apollo. I’d ask signs from him and see if I got them, and when I felt like I did I used a pendulum to communicate with him and if he wanted to work with me, and he said yes! It was pretty simple but it was a really joyful moment for me.

However, for Persephone.. it was a bit of a long story.

Persephone actually sent me me signs, some very obvious ones. In fact, I asked for signs and completely missed it like the stupid person I am lol. First it was actually a pomegranate scented candle my mom wouldn’t stop buying the day after I thought that Persephone was contacting me. Which was indeed weird. Then the next day my mom bought a POMEGRANATE, which my mom almost never buys which I also found very weird?! During that time I also had a lot of ants crawling on me too which literally never happens, I can assure you this woman’s was contacting me 24/7 and I didn’t see the. Because someone told me it’s unlikely.

Not to mention it took me weeks to figure out if I wanted to work with Persephone, because. I wasn’t sure if I was comfortable working with other deities yet. (But also because she intimidated me a tinsy bit at first, however I still admired her greatly).

And so that’s when I first met Persephone in person in my dreams. I remember chasing down a cousin through a school hallway after a fire alarm was set off (it was chaos). But at the end of the hallway I saw a weird figure, which my consciousness told me it was Persephone herself. Next to Persephone was an open door, and when I approached her she offered my hand. If I remember, I can directly quote what she said.

“It is time to face your fears.”

She said it in a kind voice, which was a little unexpected for me.

I was eager yet a little nervous for the challenge, Persephone took that as a yes. So I held her hand as she guided me through what I thought was the underworld?

When I entered there was one of those rune floor puzzles that you’d had to step on in a specific order to not die, not to mention the floor was floating and there was hot lava under the platform I was on. That’s when I became nervous because obviously I didn’t want to die.. so I said fuck it and stepped on every rune while running to the other side of the room like I wasn’t gonna live tomorrow. Fortunately, none of the runes hurt me and in the end I just thought about how stupid I was. Persephone someone approved though..I think?

And when we got to the end, we were on some floating platform that worked like a elevator. And slowly we went down, down, and down into the darkness. This was when I got a little nervous, because hell no I didn’t do well in the dark. And when we reached the bottom I saw nothing but human bone remains, which lowkey creeped me out but I could keep my composure, nothing was going to hurt me even if it felt somewhat unsafe. But I had someone with me so I guess you could say I was also to over come it? And then as the platform went up, we would soon be escaping the “underworld” and when we were back onto the surface I could see a flower meadow below me. It was a green pasture filled with animals, (like giraffes and cows.. I don’t know why there were giraffes.) but it felt beautiful and peaceful. And I remember Persephone telling me something before I woke up.

A few weeks later prior the dream, I was able to contact her via pendulum. And right after I called Persephone into my space I heard a

“Hello, child.”

And that’s how i met both of my deities :) a bit of a long story for Persephone I know, but I found it white intriguing and interesting to share. Thanks to my deities who let me share this with everyone reading!

Child of Chaos - Xand Donovan:

Chaos Itself was curious. All of these primordials and titans and gods and other deities are making offspring, so It decided to do so as well. It had created many things, but had never 'raised' a child the way parents do.

It created Itself a human form. They did so easily. All They had to do was observe some humans for a few minutes and create a body that would pass as attractive and that could hold a child. They’re very androgynous and it seems as though no matter who looks at Them, they see something they like.

The whole process of creating a child in 9 months wasn’t something They were interested in, so They sped up the process to a day.

The child was born and They realized They would need to learn how to raise a demigod (demiprimordial? demientity?). So They observed. They picked and chose from the minds of the humans around Them what seemed to be the best ways to raise a child and did what They could to raise this child into a well rounded human. It worked, to an extent. When you are the literal beginning of existence you tend to have some quirks that can pass down to your offspring.

Overall, The child, that was named Xand Donovan (names that many people seem to think are "cool" and "edgy" which is apparently a good thing among human youth.) was a typical yet very weird ass kid.

Xand looks normal, until you see them from the corner of your eye, then it's like their eye's flashed like a cat's or their outline blurs slightly. It always feels like it's about to storm when you're near them. That feeling of static gathering like lighting is about to strike.

Xand kind of has, maybe, a little bit of a god complex, but not in a "im better than everyone no one can best me" kind of way, but in a "I'm going to live forever so why should I waste my infinite time with being insecure and caring about how others view me. They will die soon and will become a blip in my time in existence" kind of way. If that makes sense.

Xand loves humans. They have genuine relationships with them and they creates friendships and longs for people in their personal life and feels and wants and needs just like humans do. But Xand also knows that they are different and that they are an infinitely powerful being that is only nerfed by the fact that their parent is stopping them from ascending into primordial...hood? Why, because they are too young.

"Parent? I am 247 years old. That is like, 23 in human years. When will you let me join you as a diety?"

"Like I have said before my child, when you are older and have matured. Now. Explain again what these two women are trying to portray by running over and over again to their original song. It's very catchy."

The two of them, though they look human enough, feel very not of this world. If you were to meet one of the olympians, you feel that as well, but with Chanon and Xand Donovan, it's like being in a room with an eldritch horror, but not realizing how horrificly in danger you actually are.

They are uncanny valley without being uncanny. Something sets you off but you convince yourself that you're imagining it while your hair stands on end and you start to sweat.

Now: Power time.

We know that Chaos is literally the beginning of everything, therefore, can potentially have whatever power it wanted. It's child is not that powerful but is very much op. Of course.

While Xand is not able to ascend yet, their powers are more imaginable. Powers that make sense and you are able to wrap your brain around unlike being the beginning of all existance.

Xand is able to change their appearnce in anyway possible. Think, Nimona. Nimona can change into a shark, an exact replica of Bal with his voice too, a bird, a random little boy, (cough *ashes* cough).

They are able to create anything out of practically nothing. If they have a handful of dirt, they can make a new phone. A pile of trash? A beautiful house. Water partials in the air? A nice glass of juice. If there is matter, it can be manipulated. If Chaos let Xand ascend, they would be able to make anything out of nothing, just like their parent.

Xand can also "be" multiple places at once. Now, right now they only have one physical body, but they are able to split their consciousness up into multiple pieces that can functionally be in different places at the same time. Kinda like multiple ghost versions of them that are all their own sentient beings while separate.

We're gonna go a little cliché here and bring in telekinesis. When your parent in the beginning of creation, you're gonna be able to manipulate matter. and that means being able to throw it around and move it at will.

im gonna have so much fun with this character.

thoughts #1: Kaleidoscope by Goldberry

link to story: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/2212118/1/

its another of many stories that were written before my parents had even conceived me

I'd seen this story floating around a lot for yearssssss from the general search bar to ppls favorites lists but for some reason i'd never clicked on it until today. I can really say that i regret not reading it sooner. The first thought i had after finishing the story was "younger me was so stupid..." I guess the description scared me off but looking back idk how it couldve been scary at all. I guess i should attritube that to my low level reading comprehension at the time but anyway

Goldberry is kinda mother (or father idk)... they're like a major diety in nejitenism everyone knows them and respects them. Their work was revolutionary.. its mandatory curriculum at all schools in nejitenlandia. Ive always wished i was born sooner to witness the golden age of nejiten but also that would mean id be old af now (no offense). That reminds me.. i was gonna say i wonder how goldberry is now and how they're doing now (are they alive?!) but clicking on their ffn page.... they literally publiushed a genshin impact story like 4 months ago bruh

ANYWAY here is my official review of "Kaleidoscope"

At first i was just gagged at how good the writing was. Like the opening scene scared me cuz it seemed wordy (im stupid) but im glad i fought through it (theres nothing to fight thru its pretty light if ur not stupid). They are so descriptive and smart in their writing. Theyre especially good at creating rly specific tones.. kinda withdrawn and melancholy which perfectly fits neji in that time in the story. Ya so i was just gagged at how intelligent the writing is. Its a great example of how tone can be used to characterize

The story itself is so perfect for me cuz i lowk hate ooc super sweet kekekuku stories (SOMETIMES) but this was so smooth and intimate without being all up in ur pussy idk how else to describe it but it just fit nejiten's dynamic so well cuz u know... theyre not kekekuku but are still scarily close in their own way

I think ppl are scared of writing friends to lovers cuz how do u even write someone realizing their feelings. Usually its like the guy sees the girl in a dress or something and is like wow😍😍😍😍😍💦💦💦💦💦i actually like you 😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ but here its a very thought out and natural realization that you dont even realize how sudden it is (DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE):

"After about half an hour they would settle, each of them slipping off into dreamland. Neji, however, did not that night. There was a thought turning in his mind, taking on different shapes as he added to it. Finally, when he was sure he knew what it meant, he turned over, his milky eyes finding her shape in the darkness."

This was so good liek instead of actually painstakingly rifling through his thoughts its just a few short sentences in summary. I guess the main point is the outcome rather than the actual inner turmoil or wtvr. Actually we dont even know if it was turmoil, it certainly isnt phrased like one. "Thought turning," "taking on different shapes as he added to it," its just an eventual conclusion after thorough exploration. So cute im kekekuku and then the next line..

"Neji knew."

It's so short but so meaningful. Like ya. He knows. He doesnt fight it or zealously double down on it. He just lets it sit and exist. Nejiten ffn is famous for letting things just sit and exist, its a very hmm... idk the right word... professional? Withdrawn? ship... idk if u get it u get it

It even says it in the story, its a surprising "but not unwelcome" revelation. He himself doesnt even know what to think about it but its okay because things will happen when they happen

Looking back its a bittersweet ending knowing how nejiten turned out liekk i kinda feel bad for the author.. little did they know what the future held.... but im still glad they wrote and kept this story out there like thankGOD

I have a million more thoughts but school is beating my ass and i havent even started my math hw i just needed to get this out of my system

Oh also i would pair this story with the song "seasons" by wave to earth. Esp the beginning. Its a super slow descension into the main melody but when the main song hits IT HITS and it kinda reminded me of this story. Nejiten's fall into something more is super gradual and slow and barely noticeable like on a random rainy night in a random inn far away but IT HITS.... trust me....(i sound crazy) also the second part of the song "i cant be ur love im afraid ill ruin ur life" ... iykyk (i dont know)

But ya thats all i have for now final rating 10/10 so cute so kekekuku so nejiten so intelligent

the people have spoken

so we start with light yagami. top of his school, great family, tons of friends right? well, it definitely looks that way. but if you look more in depth you start to see the cracks in his “perfect boy” persona. he goes to class, studies, and goes to cram school. we really don’t see him with any genuine friends and anyone he seems nice to he actually kinda hates in his inner monologue. the only time we see him hang out with people outside of school is during the bus jacking date and that one time he tried to find misa. it’s most likely intentional since he doesn’t think anyones as smart as him. he’s close with his family, but even then he’s playing the role as the golden child.for example, we are introduced to his mom via her asking him for his test scores, making small conversation, and then leaving him alone. she’s glad his scores are so high and compliments him, but doesn’t even ask about his day or anything. his dad works weird, late hours as a cop as well. he’s close to sayu, but pushes her away as the story goes on.

also, light is incredibly immature at the start of the story (and doesn’t really mature mainly because of the death note. as we all know, he developed a severe god complex and stop maturing mentally since he saw himself as this all powerful perfect diety who didn’t need to change his ideals and how he saw the world). in all fairness, he is around 16-17 when he received the death note. i think his beliefs are better summed up in Where Is The Justice than i could write. i fully believe that had he not received the death note he would have become a very respectable detective, but that is not his story.

to summarize, light is lonely, immature, and think he’s the smartest guy in the world.

until he meets L.

L Lawliet is a weird character. he doesn’t really trust anyone, is off putting to most people, and more importantly, knew light was kira even when evidence pointed otherwise.

it is a fucking delight to rewatch death note just to see L make light squirm. you realize all his weird tendencies were intentional. Light can’t take anything he says at word because L is always two steps ahead of him. i think it’s best shown in the phone scene, where light thinks he can get L’s true name (side note: i love how L’s real name is literally just L Lawliet. that’s so clever, he doesn’t have to worry about kira finding his true name, since he already knows it, kira just needs his last name but doesn’t think of asking because why would someone just be named L? it’s genius) and calls misa, then L reveals he has miss’s phone and fucking talks to light on it. then lights like “ok whatever he didn’t know misa has another.” AND L HAS THE SECOND PHONE TOO! he’s just an absolute genius.

additionally though, L is also very lonely. he doesn’t really have any friends and his only family is fucking watari, who i am sure kept him away from the other kids in the wammy house as a child so he could focus on detective work. he’s incredibly smart but he’s reached that level where nothing really satisfies his curiosity, which is why he takes on the kira case.

somehow along the way, kira and L become light and L, who are actually friends. they understand each other in a way no one has before. the yotsuba arc shows just how well they get along, even if they annoy each other. they aren’t lonely anymore. they have someone who understands thems.

once l dies, however, it’s clear just how much their relationship meant to light. even before they really became friends, their rivalry was amazing. L was the one thing keeping light in check and with him gone light goes completely off the rails. light does some things in the second half of the series (trusting people with the information that he is kira, falling for nears traps,killing takada, and letting mikami use the death note) that he wouldn’t have even considered in the beginning because of how risky it was.

and at the end of it all, it’s not misa or his father or ryuk he sees as he dies. it’s L.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT WAS SO GOOD OH MY GOD

Grian finally getting to wake up in bed with both of his s/os only to realize that Scar is in pain and wake him up???? I am in love but also are these poor dudes ever gonna get some fucking rest good lord. Plus like - what a TIME for Scar's core to be restabilizing because Grian is already freaked out because of Scar's silver hair AND NOW ITS MORE SILVER AHHHHH

Also the explanation for how the cores work is great frankly - like, do I understand 100%. No. But that's fine because it seems like no one 100% absolutely gets it so it works. I really liked that part!!!

Also... 👀so dieties souls dont expire either hmmm. vampires AND dieties....hm hm hm. HMMMMMMMMMMM

But also Grian telling scar he has to outlive him AHHHHH im not ready for Mumbo or Scar to confront the fact that Grian has a human soul [you know, until he doesnt] bc I cannot stand like Immortal/Mortal lover ahhhh 😭😭😭Scar who's trying to restabilize his magic and Grian just accidentally and offhandedly reminding him that he's gotta live long enough to outlive grian AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT GRIAN IS LIKE "I hope they still have souls when they die so I can be with them" I AM HURTING I AM TAKING EMOTIONAL DAMAGE AHHHHH I know he's a godling and that will likely fix the issue but ASDFGHJ how dare oyu

My sweet Grian ahh. For you to ruin me like that and then get them back to cuddling i am TERRIFIED for what chapter 5 holds frankly but i am SO ready

HHHHHHHH THANK <3

Yesssss it was such a bad time for it to happen <3 But Grian got to enjoy about half a second of waking up with both of them there at least jhfgdjkk. Also they will eventually get to rest.... <3 When I feel like being nice haha~ ALSO THE SILVER HAIR HAHA <3 Something that used to fascinate Grian will now be a forever reminder that it's literally a sign of Scar dying as his magic gets stronger jkgfdkjgjkfdlk <3

Hard to understand something so intangible right~? hjfdskhfds I'm glad you liked it bc I was stressing about it I didn't wanna overexplain or underexplain hjfgdjkhj <3 <3

:) :) :)

GHJFSHJFKSHJK Grian and Mumbo have been so caught up with Scar's mortality that they have both forgotten one huge very important thing, and that is Grian is even more mortal than Scar hahaha <3 But now that Grian's brought it up....... :)

<3 <3 I had to, I had to do it because Grian still hasn't taken the three seconds to consider why people keep calling him a godling <3 hfjksdfghjlksdgds

Sometimes you gotta cause emotional damage and then patch it up with some cuddling bois <3 Chapter five, you have no reason to fear it..~ <3 Nothing really happens in chapter five, it's just Mumbo being gay for his boyfriends while his boyfriends aren't even there jhgfdsjkkfjds-

I’m one of those witches, babe

Pairing the tr boys with diff types of witchy s/os

feat. Mikey, Mitsuya, Chifuyu, Kazutora, Wakasa, Kokonoi, Baji

pt 1/??? (maybe)

a/n: enjoy my arbitrary writing about witchcraft because I just know these mfs would fuck with it

꙳⸌♡⸍꙳ Now playing: Witches by Alice Phoebe Lou ꙳⸌♡⸍꙳

Mikey ⇢ Solitary Witch

Solitary witches are loners, not operating in a coven or group. All of their practice is under their own direction, though they may consult with dieties and spirit guides. They may chose to follow a particular sect of witchcraft (paganism, hellenism, work with orishas etc.), or choose an eclectic approach-but the main factor is that the solitary witch works alone.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and much like a solitary witch, Mikey chooses to take on a lot of things on his own for those he truly loves. A solo witch would understand his plight, but also be able to send him some little magical boosts while he stays none the wiser. I also think that Mikey would literally wear every single charm and trinket his witch makes with pride, and try to insert himself into the craft a bit too- it’d be really cute to see him trying to make tea out of moonwater 🥺

Mitsuya ⇢ Cosmic Witch

An astrology bitch who has everyone’s birth chart recognized. Yeah that’s your cosmic witch. They’re masters of the stars, studying astrology and astronomy in tandem with their magic. They take an active, not passive role in the celestial events, and can tell you more things about signs other than the basic “Gemini’s are two-faced” narrative.

Just thinking about how I KNOW mitsuya is also an astrology bitch bc he was sick of everyone shit talking him as a Gemini (honestly wakui should have made him an Aquarius but I digress)- and using horary charts of certain zeitgeists as trend analysis tools would also be such a smart move for him as a designer he just really needs an Astro witch to match his drip.

Chifuyu ⇢ Green Witch

Green witches harness power from nature. Green witches respect nature above all else and derive a lot of their healing methodologies and ritual tools from the earth itself, using plants/herbs/flowers. They are focused on healing mama universe and are kind to all living creatures, especially animals.

It just fits the vibe. He’s kind, and peke j is the cutest familiar. Green witches imo are the KINDEST souls in existence, and he deserves nothing but the best. Plus I can just see the pet shop being connected to a coffee shop/florist type of deal and I love that meet cute.

Kazutora ⇢ Divination Witch

Psychics/Tarot Readers/Mediums- the practice of divination takes messages and premonition-like messages from the universe and realms of spirit. Divination in itself literally means “to be inspired by (a) god.” Diviners can use tools or their own intuition to channel messages for themselves or others, and have an uncanny ability to fortell events or outcomes.

Part of me feels like Kazu is intuitive within himself- doesn’t know he can channel messages until he meets someone that can enhance his abilities. But I really think he could also become an AMAZING cartomancer (tarot/oracle reader) if he really practiced and got into his own craft.

Wakasa ⇢ Love Witch

Glamour. Beauty. Aesthetics. I LOVE love witches! They use concepts like glamour, sensuality, and pleasure to add emphasis to their manifestations, and harness the power of unconditional love in all forms for their strength.

Look me in the eyes and tell me a man with eyelashes like that doesn’t practice glamour magic…. Or use those bedroom eyes (and subsequent orgasms caused by them) for manifesting… That’s all imma say.

Kokonoi ⇢ Gray Witch

gray witches straddle the lines of black and white, having a strong sense of justice and twisting their craft to suit the situation as necessary. Masters of karma, they use their energy to redirect ~bad~ energy to where it should have gone in the first place.

Perfect for Koko’s calculating (affectionate) nature. A gray witch would help him not only gain the upper hand in his self interested pursuits, but also encourage him to soften up a bit and do what’s right when called for… would also help dissolve some of that delusion oof

Baji ⇢ Chaos Witch

Giving into it all, chaos witches believe that the most important tool in their craft is their intent. It is self directed, and derives power purely from the practitioner- in other words, the magic doesn’t make you a witch, you make the magic that makes you a witch. There’s no limit to your abilities as long as you have yourself. Chaos Magic can also sometimes use gnosis which is an altered state of consciousness that is purposefully induced and controlled by the practitioner.

Come on, Keisuke is chaos incarnate. I honestly think that Chaos would be one of his chosen deities next to someone like Hades. He needs someone to believe in him, to trust him, and to move purely from a place of centered personal power- able to freely surrender to the unknown just like him.

[mintytrifecta]

can i hear your pitch for a garfield series? 👀👀

OKAY SO

In Garfield's Judgement Day it's revealed that there is sort of a pet counsel of sorts, one that resolves the issues surrounding pet-kind and emergency situations involving their owners. They also seem to be against strays, what with the hurricane coming and Arlene being forced to hide in an alleyway during it. (also if you didn't know Arlene is a stray cndnns surprise)

And since nine lives are canonically reincarnation in the Garfield universe, the council to me works by descending order of who's lived the most lives and by how many centuries it spans.

Garfield is on his eighth life (canon) and his lives go back to the caveman era (also canon) so he's second in command next to the oldest one in the community, who's a black cat on his ninth. Garfield doesn't really want to be in command and is honestly really shitty at his job, usually on purpose.

Of course, Garfield could also easily take up leadership completely, given how he's escaped death twice now and managed to start a new nine-lives cycle, either by time travel or Literally Lying To God (this one's a bit more complicated cause both of those are canon but I just linked the two timelines together. Garfield's technically on his third cycle and his eight one there and without doubles he's about 21 lives in. I have a flowchart graph for this)

Recently, there's been a huge rise in strays going completely feral and attacking pets. It's weird enough as it is, but the fact that most of them have no memory of it happening is even weirder.

Garfield's put on the job to figure out what's happening and put a stop to it and he will complain every step of the way even if he's one of the only people qualified to do so given that he was a private eye in a previous life (again canon) but he doesn't wanna do it alone so he enlists the help of both Arlene and Odie. He's not technically allowed to bring Odie on the job since Odie isn't a cat but he lied to God about it and called him a cat once so he gets a pass.

Garfield's family also helps him!! They live in an abandoned restaurant and are all technically strays and if it weren't for Jon Garfield would not even be allowed in there and he's aware of how rocky his social standing is, and he knows how the feral acts would immediately be percieved as intentional, but Garfield also knows better than to believe the elitist pet's prejudices but I digreds

His mom, helpful as ever, reminds him of an old queen's tale called Primal Self.

The story says that the world's diety loved cats so much it gave them nine lives to keep living and staying on the mortal plane, but the other animals all got so jealous of them that they begged the god to curse cats with a malevolent spirit that haunts them and reverts them back to nothing but pure feral instinct and bloodlust. It haunts cats when they're at their weakest and possesses them, forcing them to attack others and remind the god and the world that cats are animals, just as the rest of them are.

It's not really the most logical lead, but at the moment that's all Garfield has to go on. (plus, it sounds really familiar to him, but he can't place from where..)

So they all go round up the ones they know started attacking and try to ask if any of them have heard of or know about primal self, but barely any of them seem to be responding. The only one that manages to say anything only muttered something about "green eyes with fur as black as the starless night"

So they're back to square one.

Until pets start going feral as well. And now nobody is safe.

The weather outside gets worse and worse and less cats start responding.

Eventually, Garfield and Co. go back to the council in the old abandoned theater and explain to the head cat the situation, only to find out something big.

Primal Self isn't a curse, but in fact an ancient cat spirit. One who's lived and skipped countless deaths and possesses other cats to steal away the lives they have left to add on to his life cycles. And he's currently residing in the head cat. Primal Self has gotten anxious that the cat diety is spotting him and what he's done that he's been jumping from different cats in the same era to avoid a confrontation.

Primal Self takes one lunge at Garfield at the first sign of him trying to run away, and steals this life from him.

But Garfield isn't dead, he's back in his first life as the pet cat to a caveman. And now he has to speed through all of his lives again and reach the one he had to put a stop to Primal Self.

Cause like it or not, he's got to play hero now.

Ugh.

(meanwhile back in the present, Arlene and Odie explain the situation to all the pets and strays still left and maybe even Jon and Liz and get them to help out and put a stop to Primal)

[genderbinaryisforlosers]

everyone on the carte blanche for the ask meme

everyone? oh boy this is gonna get long ajfhdsf

JUNO

First impression: i, like a lot of people who get into the podcast without knowing a great deal about it, was expecting at most an ambiguously bisexual angst machine with a closely-guarded heart of gold. juno being an explicitly bisexual genderqueer angst machine is perhaps the most pleasant surprise of my life. the angst machine heart of gold characters were kind of my type at the time, so i loved him right away

Impression now: every time i think about juno’s arc from depressed mess held together by bad coping mechanisms, safety pins, and a few good strong puns into someone who can talk about his feelings, feel comfortable about being happy, and recognise when he needs to change, i want to cry about it a little bit. the depth of my love for juno steel has only grown along with him

Favourite moment: juno has a lot of great one-liners and i’m still a big fan of the “on the other hand i wasn’t wearing a watch” bit and who can forget such classics as juno finally deciding to stop moping over nureyev and move on only for him to open the door to his apartment and find nureyev sitting in the dark dramatically, but honestly nothing will ever hit me harder than his sudden, pissed-off declaration of “i can’t die yet, i still have shit to do!” in promised land. god.

Idea for a story: oh i have so many and i want to write most of them so no spoilers, but juno accidentally kidnaps a baby during a carte blanche heist and shenanigans ensue

Unpopular opinion: obviously we all know he’s dummy thicc but i feel like a lot of people forget he’s an actual genius, like the stuff he notices and how he strings it together is sometimes so obscure and he’s almost always right. oh, also juno is not skinny and i will not be taking criticism on that

Favourite relationship: this is so tough because every dynamic is so good, but i think it has to be juno and rita. those two are so good! the best best friends in the world!! i’m really a sucker for any dynamic that’s ridiculously in-sync so i loved these two as soon as juno saw rita’s notes in prince of mars and went “makes perfect sense to me” (which it probably didn’t, because rita, but he trusted that she knew what she was doing which is the important part)

Favourite headcanon: this isn’t really a headcanon but i still think about how juno is (was?) deathly afraid of heights but when he heard rex glass coming he still attempted to climb out of the window. either his aversion to working with dark matters/other people in general was so strong is overrided his fear, or his office was actually on the ground floor. not sure which of these is funnier.

NUREYEV

First impression: we’ve all seen the memes about nureyev knowing juno steel for one (1) day and deciding to Risk It All by leaving him with his name, look at this Hopeless Romantic, this utter DISASTER of a homosexual. the fact the very next time we hear from nureyev (at least directly) he’s patiently waiting in juno’s dark apartment to surprise him with a heist definitely supports this image.

Impression now: even after literally being inside peter’s head, i feel like we didn’t get a real sense of who he is until man in glass, where we find out he aggressively compartmentalises everything that causes him stress. he’s also distinctly someone who’s had his heart broken before, i think, which makes those first appearances of his very strange. but it does remind me of what juno says about diamond, and how he decided to provide the trust first and wait for the trustworthiness to grow in (only to get severely hurt), and i think that’s exactly what nureyev did. i am also... very uneasy with how suspicious he’s behaving this season because obviously i want to believe he’ll sort it all out and not betray the crew but... oof

Favourite moment: the beginning of what lies beyond pt1 where he’s affectionately bullying juno into taking care of himself? cleared my crops watered my skin etc etc etc

Idea for a story: i’d love to hear more about his past as a young thief idolising buddy and vespa (i can’t actually remember if that’s canon or fanon but anyway i wanna read it!)

Unpopular opinion: i think people often cling to an image of him that more resembles his first impressions in season 1 instead of seeing the depth that we’ve been given about his character in season 3

Favourite relationship: him and juno but honestly it’s a close call between them and his budding friendship with rita. even though she learned it by accident, his name is still a point of intimacy and it’s one less secret to keep around her which has to be a weight off his shoulders, at least a little? they seem like they could be really good friends once ultrabots is out of the way. juno steel love (and also bullying) zone activates whenever they’re together

Favourite headcanon: i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again - nureyev has never done a household chore in his goddamn life. he doesn’t know the water needs to be hot when you wash dishes.

RITA

First impression: honestly i’m not sure? i don’t remember having a big awareness of her in murderous mask but i remember loving her “note-taking” in prince of mars, i thought she sounded really fun and cute

Impression now: rita is really fun and cute, she’s also an extremely hardworking and dedicated woman who had the guts to throw in with a detective fired from the force and then invest all of her time and money into helping him help people.

Favourite moment: Rita Gets A Knife. enough said

Idea for a story: i don’t know honestly! i really struggle to write rita because her thought processes are so wild and i don’t think any story i could come up with would match mega ultrabots of cyberjustice.

Unpopular opinion: this shouldn’t be unpopular because juno steel himself shares this opinion but all future-jupeter headcanons are incomplete without rita also being a huge part of their lives

Favourite relationship: rita + franny 4ever obviously.. jk it’s juno & rita have you heard rita minute 3 they’re too adorable for this world. im still Soft over their conversation at the end of soul of the people when he said he couldn’t stay in hyperion anymore but he wouldn’t leave with the carte blanche if rita wasn’t coming because he was done leaving her behind, and she threw out all her hesitations on the spot and said call the big guy. speaking of, rita & jet are a close second. instant best friends i love them.

Favourite headcanon: i think this is basically canon now but rita being literally half the height of jet is so good

JET

First impression: “haha lorge funny man puts juno in the trash”

Impression now: jet sikuliaq is one of the dearest characters to me out of anything ever. he is a huge, menacing, polite, kind, sincere man who i would very much like to give me a hug. he’s the best aro ace in outer space and while being generally very levelheaded and straightforward, also takes every opportunity to fuck with juno because it’s very easy and very hilarious to him personally. he is everything my autistic acearo ass needed and i’m so glad to have him

Favourite moment: all of them every single one. him putting juno in the trash is of course a classic and every moment jet chooses to be funny makes my heart happy, but also every piece of genuine advice he gives. i’m a particular fan though of buddy recounting her years in the lighthouse and him saying he became concerned when she didn’t come downstairs at the usual time. “you took the door off its hinges.” “i was deeply concerned.” king of understatement

Idea for a story: again no spoilers for you but..... tools of rust time loop au

Unpopular opinion: this isn’t “unpopular” as much as it is unknown but jet is buddy’s queerplatonic partner and i will keep saying it until everyone believes it

Favourite relationship: jet and buddy,,, just everything about them. the way he suspects when she’s lying, the way she makes tea for him when she expects him to drop by. the fact he comes to check on her when she is 41 seconds late to the family meeting because it’s unlike her to be late and the last time she was late for something her brain was turning to radiation soup. but most especially the way she snaps at him to stay out of her business and he said he could not because he made her promise eight years ago to never stay out of the business of her health, no matter how many times she asked. they r literally in a qpr

Favourite headcanon: i don’t think this is true but i still think it would be funny if the ruby-7 used to be painted red but when jet got it he had it painted green because he Just Really Likes Green (as evidenced by his hovercycle). it’s very funny to me.

BUDDY

First impression: it’s been a minute since i relistened to time gone by but i’m pretty sure the first thing she ever says in the podcast is sliding up to depressed accidental whiskey thief juno and say “that’ll be ten million creds,” scaring the shit out of him, so needless to say i was in love instantly.

Impression now: my love for buddy aurinko has only grown and if it sounds like i already said that in this post it’s because i did about juno and it’s appropriate because the parallels are astounding. the heart of it all gave us such depth to buddy’s internal monologue and why she always sounds like she knows exactly what to say and what that’s like and honestly will i ever be over the heart of it all as an episode? unlikely. i think i’m gonna have a little piece of it in MY heart forever.

Favourite moment: everything she’s ever said is iconic as hell i especially like “in an impressive fit of hubris i’ve decided not to prepare my words for this vow” which made me laugh out loud but once again i must give it up for her iconic “I WANT TO LIVE” moment. honourable mentions to her taking rita out for ice cream and giving juno shooting lessons while she’s in her actual wedding gown. i love her

Idea for a story: buddy and vespa as sun/moon dieties.... that’s all

Unpopular opinion: stop drawing her with a fancy high-tech eye like the theia!! it canonically looks like garbage and it’s described in detail, please, i’m dying, also don’t minimise her scars you bastards

Favourite relationship: buddy and vespa invented romantic love and the entire carte blanche crew’s relationship to her is great but you know by now i’m a slut for buddy & jet out-of-this-world queerplatonic partners. the way she checks in on him during tools of rust to make sure he’s not relapsing and he comes to find her when she is 41 seconds late in the heart of it all to make sure she’s not having a heart problem!! it’s the trust,, the devotion,, the mortifying ordeal of being known

Favourite headcanon: she can sing. absolutely tears it up at karaoke. i’m right

VESPA

First impression: knife lesbian goes STAB. she will heal your wounds but she will be threatening to give you more the whole time

Impression now: she is extremely strong, heart-rendingly tender, and despite being in the older half of the carte blanche crew somehow has unmistakable little sister energy which makes her downright hilarious. i’m so glad she got to marry buddy and they’re official space wives now they’re so good for each other

Favourite moment: both from shadows in the ship, either “GUN!!” “KNIFE?!” (iconic) or when she clocks the dark matters drone pretending to be juno because it called her crazy and juno wouldn’t call her crazy. i’m always a sucker for “shapeshifter fails to fool mark because they Know Each Other Too Well” and it was just *chefs kiss* so good

Idea for a story: i really want to write something about when she was first staying at the lighthouse with buddy post-reunion, and getting to know jet and stuff. i think it would be cute

Unpopular opinion: i know vespa doesn’t canonically have lots of scarring but people who don’t draw her with scarring? cowards.

Favourite relationship: once again, although buddy and vespa invented romantic love, i just love the dynamic between vespa and juno so much. they’ve come so far with each other and their weird sibling dynamic gives me life. at the end of what lies beyond when juno says “we’re not gonna kill her, vespa” and instead of sounding full of Rage and Suspicion she’s like “whyyy notttt?” and he’s like “because i said so!” and that’s just good enough for her even if she’s a bit grumpy about it. i love it.

this took.. a hot minute to do! jshkfjsdgsa thank you dyl ily <3

[dontletthishappentoyou]

Bruce

Bruce is a newsman. He tells the news, whether it be about cookies or waterfalls, and goes home to a nice house with a wife who I’m pretty sure is Jennifer Aniston. Through some mildly degrading dialogue and comparing himself to a slightly more successful newsman, we the audience are somehow made to feel sorry for this man? I don’t know why, but that’s just how the cookie crumbles I guess.  After that, he steps in a puddle, gets pissed, and stumbles across a human manifestation of a diety, who had previously been homeless maybe, now standing gracefully in an abandoned building. Maybe he’s lost his job because he threw a hissy fit. I may very well be thinking of another movie though. Anyway, Bruce hates god, shouting “You ape! How can you be so void of mercy! So unjust! No god of mine will fail to provide for his followers as have you!” or something to that effect.  Anyway, abandoned building. Morgan god speaks to Bruce and proves his powers, and decides he’s going to take a break and let Bruce do the work for a bit. For quite a while, the world continues exactly as it did when Mr. Freeman was god, attesting to the fact that it’s basically easy and the world kind of takes care of itself. Bruce abuses his powers to humiliate Steve and do a variety of other things, but is largely just slightly happier, his confidence proving just as useful as his omniscience.  Meanwhile, people are praying. Mr. Freeman takes him aside (to the ocean) and reminds him that the weird voices he hears are various calls for help. Bruce struggles to organize the prayers in a manner he can manage, eventually settling on a computer, answering prayers in the form of email. He receives what in the modern day we would refer to as ‘a normal amount of emails’ with what we in the modern day would refer to as ‘a typical sense of obligation without motivation’ to answer them. Being the lazy piece of shit he has already been clearly established to be, he does some sort of reply-to-all style thing and just gives everyone a big Yes, because it has also been previously established that he is a Yes Man or something.  Suddenly, our previously utopic city is literally on fire. Too many people win the lottery, too many people fall in love or whatever, and when Bruce goes to some fancy party to enjoy his life, he realizes that being omnipotent is harder than he thought. He leaves the party with what modern day young adults would refer to as ‘a normal amount of stress’ and walks the burning streets screaming at the top of his lungs, hoping to appeal to the very same dieties he decried as useless in the second paragraph.  Morgan shows up and says something along the lines of “you little slut; you thought you could be top me? You thought you could be the master? Well you’re shit, and you can’t! Put your filthy collar back on, eat your fucking dog food, and learn your place. You are no more than a stupid animal to me, and I saved you and you owe me your life! You’re nothing!” or something to that effect, implying that the job was harder than Bruce originally thought, even though it was actually pretty easy until he started actually trying to help people. 

Then Bruce appreciates what he has or whatever. He learns his place in the social and supernatural heirarchy and now knows that it’s best if God does literally nothing and lets the natural world run its course, because that was the most successful strategy he saw when he was in power.  So moral of the story: The world is better off without an intervening God.  Ah! I remember: he got fired because he did the waterfall gig and was excited about it until he saw that while he was doing that, Steve had been promoted to the archanchor, and his hissy fit was thrown live on the news in the presence of Niagra falls. He thought he might be getting the promotion because the cookie story went well because he made the most of a kind of silly situation and people liked it. His boss was even nice to him, recognizing that he was the more creative in his banters with his otherwise superior Steve. Nick? Nah, two syllables I think. Like Eric but more alpha.

Still so disappointed mammon wasn't white and the rest of his brothers were 🙄😔

You chose the ONE DEMON quoted in religious texts as 'an Enslaver of Souls' and 'Hells Ambassador to England' to be of color?! Make him a stereotypical 'cherub' looking guy with the blonde hair and blue eyes it makes sm more sense!!! Manifest Destiny and Colonialism were the absolute epitome of greed, there was NOTHING 'divine' about that!!!!

His brothers all being of color would've been sm more cool esp considering Levi is associated with the sea and being a serpent? Inuit Levi would be SO COOL (I mean with the diverse mythologies surrounding the sea and fish in inuit culture) 🌊👀

To continue, many cultures view food as sacred, something to be cherished and a way to connect with family and the gods. Beel being an almost inverse representation of that ideal and cultural value could have been fun, that food is nothing more than fuel, something to be eaten and forgotten, ect.

NOT TO MENTION HALF OF THE BROS DEMON INSPOS WERE JUST PAGAN GODS TWISTED BAD BY CHRISTIANS!

Belphegor varies, but the general consensus for his original deity is that he is from the middle east. Some say Jordan/ancient Palestine (Moab) others Sumeria, but still. Our boy would not be THAT pale. Really.

Beelzebub was originally Baal (beel n belphie have a couple deities theorized to have originated as for either of them, its almost a shared pool) which would also put him in the Middle East, or even starting to head into Egypt, as he was a Canaanian deity.

Asmo would have been so cool to see as a black man. Seeing even a small glimpse into the work and effort put in to maintain black hair would have been so cool, even more so if the brothers were understanding, sympathetic, and patient. Not judgemental, because 'ew asmos being Asmo' , but understanding of the effort and time he puts into his hair and overall appearance, and the annoyance when it's disturbed. Let black men present and express themselves in more feminine ways, I'm begging. (this is also partially bc of asmodeus' association and occasional interchangeability with Amaimon, Amaymon, or Amon. You know, the 'demon' version of Amon-Ra, the mainish diety and God in the ancient Egyptian Pantheon?)

I understand the risk of making minority characters the bad guys, but this is literally a game about befriending and sometimes dating said demons, not to mention they have no real bite as 'bad people'. If the demons bois were actually evil, I'd love for them to stay mainly white, but with the knowledge we currently have of their characters, no. There could have been better representation.

AND this is all based off the Bible, and white people were a freak genetic mutation that really never was going to evolve naturally. (not that fast, at least.)

Lucifer and Satan are the only characters who I can almost see from a mythological/biblical standpoint being white. They, for most accounts and knowledge, didn't really have inspiration or origins in pagan/middle eastern mythology. Of course, in my opinion, that would then make them middle eastern by default bc Jesus n Bible STARTED in the middle east, but most Christians view God and Jesus as white so whatever 🙄 (even mammon has SOME deities he's believed to have been connected to so)

Looking at the preliminary versions of the brothers designs, I'm always upset, because seeing that, seeing those sketches, none of the brothers started out of color and were changed. It doesn't even feel like they considered or allowed it for to be an option, trying it out before changing their mind because the skin tone didn't work with the required color schemes or something. It just. Isn't there.

Idk I might make redesigns of the bros more representative of their mythological and literative origins, it's late rn so see yall tmrw
