FINALLY FINISHED MY QPHIL 3.0 DESIGN HOORAY (cant wait to. redesign it again in like 3 months.) (CHECK UNDER THE CUT FOR MY SILLY DESIGN NOTES!!)

I think I said this before but i so. SO BADLY wanted him to have a sleep theme since I always loved how his presence on the island was kinda up in the air. Is it a dream? Is it not? When he goes between the island and hardcore is that change really happening? Who knows.

The idea of making his usual outfit more like a housecoat was super appealing to me, so I opted for this open housecoat look with really heavy frills which were super fun to figure out, and I knew from pretty early on that I wanted to give him a quilt pattern SOMEWHERE on his design, so I thought the inside of the coat would do nicely for a sorta "default state". It also meant I could attribute meaning to the symbols and colours I used. wink nudge.

He has a more subtle angel theme, like with the mobile on his walking stick being a halo with the wing placement further emphasizing this, as well as just his generally lighter colour scheme. When I say sleep was his theme I almost more-so imagine it as like. The feeling of waking up in the morning where you're mostly refreshed but still a LITTLE drowsy. Lots of very spring-y, morning colours.

Just some other quick notes, I always really liked the mod in the server where you could have the crows perch on your shoulder and follow cuz of the lantern, so I thought it'd be fun if I made it so brian just straight up WAS the lantern. So I made him look like one of those wall outlet nightlights!! The backpack being kinda cat shaped was COMPLETELY unintentional but a very welcome result. Missa backpack is real.

As for the alternate outfits, I have a bolas one, as well as an ender king one since I deemed those two the most important. For the ender king I weirdly don't have many notes, like it's fairly straightforward (Save for the elephant in the room but now I'm gonna keep my secrets on why that's a thing). The Quilt design is supposed to be a lighter, easier-on-the-eyes version of the no texture pattern, and I imagine that all the goop and gunk on Phil is hidden under the coat. I imagine it'd look fairly similar to canon so just like. imagine it for now. Might draw it one day. MAYBE. There's some tiny additional colour symbolism but I'll hold my tongue on that and let you guys draw your own conclusions there. I WILL say, however, that instead of his theme being sleep, his theme is "nightmare" (and also kinda sleepwalking since both fit).

The Bolas design was SUPER fun to work with. For starters I wanted the three designs to be in three different states. One with the coat, one with the coat reversed, and one without the coat entirely. Since I wanted to do the checker pattern thing with the possession design, having the sleeveless bolas design worked really well for the shape I landed on, even if it wasn't conventional. and SPEAKING of non-conventional design choices, I decided to go against the usual plague doctor + gas mask fusion design. Which might be controversial... But god. The moment I thought of his mask being a falconry hood, the idea just wouldn't leave my mind. Because of this, the full mask is kinda separated into two parts. The eye mask which kinda also mirrors his usual sleep mask, and the gas mask itself (I kept it in a beak shape since it'd feel odd if i made it any other shape for phil, lol). When designing the whole thing I kept thinking about more apocalypse setting clothing. Like mad max. Or the one gag from that one spongebob movie. Lots of leather. And of course, to match the other sleep themes, the Bolas outfit's theme is "fever dream", although its a bit more subtle. It's easily the weirdest design, The pops of green were simultaneously in reference to the friendship emerald... As well as... Well, the green chain right below the chain on the sickness themed design was probably the most tasteful way I could've chosen to get across vomit without it being too on the nose. (also sidenote, I had a few friends compare bolas phil to... a fly. Which wasn't intentional but it's kinda funny that the guy designed after fever dreams looks a little bit like a bug.) Ok thats it for design commentary I'm gonna go to bedge nyow.

Before episode three of Perfect 10 Liners continued the love story of these two color-coded boys in love,

It gave me small glimpses of the other color-coded boys in love.

And I'm intrigued by the Lapis Lads.

I don't know if Faifa is truly flirting with Wine or if this casual affection is the norm for him since Yotha threatened him to not behave with Wine as he had with other people, but I think that is the point.

Wine won't be able to tell if Faifa likes him or if this is all just part of Faifa's personality.

Unlike these two where it's obvious one likes to annoy and the other likes to act as if he is annoyed,

Wine seems impersonal and sad, so if he can't get a proper read on Faifa, who comes across as aloof and nosy, I'm going to eat them up because this is truly a battle of two Blue Boys making the worst impression on each other through their color's worst traits.

Just like Red Rascal Arc is leaving a horrible impression on me since the show is determined to remind me he is a Manchester United fan every single week! I don't care if he has Rashford's red jersey! GET IT OUTTA HERE!

And just like that, I'm sent back into the past where Arc has just caused and accident due to his road rage, and Yellow Yal Arm is just "no biggie" about it all. He seems kinda into it actually.

But I don't have to dwell on that kink too long because Blue Boy Sand, in his "relationship" shirt, is clearly already dating Orange Oddity Pond, with his very orange Thai tea and Spider Man hoodie, so as a person who sat through sixteen episodes of We Are for Marc x Poon, I'm thankful my prayers were answered in this series. Amen.

I'm also feeling Blue Boy Warm being in contact with Arc's mom because I see you, Mrs. Robinson! Arc better watch out before he gets a new daddy. Purple Person Cop knows. He sees the writing on the wall.

I'm going to ignore the elephant in the room, or the tiny worm if you ask Pipo, because I want to point out that JJ is looking very adorable in this show, and this scene gave me time to really notice all the yellow in Arm's room. The elephant is hiding behind the yellow couch, but also there is a yellow clock, his yellow bag, and the subways in the painting are also yellow.

I like that in an effort to ignore the elephant he saw, Green Guy Pipo changed his shirt to an Apocalypse Now shirt.

Where would Arm and Arc be without their Blue Boy Besties? LOST and friendless, that's where!

Arc wants Arm to know more about him, but all Arm needs to know is Arc's color is red; therefore, he has anger issues, he is persistent to the point of stalking, and the sex will be 🔥🌶🔥, but somehow, I think Arm already knows.

Orange Oddity Pond is doing such a great job communicating and taking up all of Sand's attention while also giving rides. This is how you balance the negative with the positive as an Oddity. You hear that Peaceful Property's Somkid!

Color-coded boys in love and their friend Steve.

It's real gay of Arc to keep staring at Arm's lips while berating him. It's giving >instigating a fight so his hands will be on me< and, once again, I think they are both aware of this.

And I end the episode with their color-coded gears interlocking before the preview decided to show me a bottle being smashed over Arm's head.

But at least he'll be wearing a color-coded appropriate smiley face shirt when it happens!

Because color-coded boys in love get happy endings, even if car accidents and bar fights are part of the journey to that happy ending.

I see you, kinksters.

Hello! May I request romantic headcannons with Ne Zha and F! Reader who has wings?

Also, may I choose 🪶 as my emoji?

-🪶 anon

Ne Zha Having a Fem! S/O with Wings

Character: Ne Zha Requester: 🪶Anon A/N: MY FINAL REQUEST. I'm surprised I got them done so quick... anyways hope you do like this 🪶Anon ⚠️ Spoilers/Trigger Warnings for: Nothing ⚠️

Disclaimer: I kinda based the Reader off a phoenix

╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗

╚═════ Ne Zha ═══════════════════════════════╝

🪷 Ne Zha has seen many kinds of humanoid beings, ranging from humanoid birds to elephants, hell, he's seen humanoid monkeys. So just seeing a human with wings was on the calmer side of everything

🪷 He loves your wings, especially if they're kind of colored like a lotus flower (white fading into green/pink)

🪷 Whenever he feels down, you'll come up from behind him and hug him, your wings wrapping around his body, as if it was a shield protecting him from the rest of the universe for he could be safe

🪷 He values your safety over everything. When Lady Bone Demon came back, she had you by one of your wings, threatening to tear it off

🪷 Ne Zha grabbed his spear and almost cut her hand off, though she moved at the last second so she was fine. You flew up and to the other Monkie Kids as your husband sped up to you

🪷 Monkie Kid and the others were shocked to hear you guys were married, Ne Zha looked so young while you looked like the average 15-year-old, even though you were both way older than that

🪷 If your feathers ever fall out, Ne Zha will grab them anytime he can and put them in a jar full of your feathers. You told him to do this for some reason, he guesses you just like to re-stuff the pillows sometimes and this was a cheap and creative way to do it

🪷 Ne Zha also has an issue with your wings. When you shake from getting rain on you, your feathers begin to fall off in heavy manners, kind of like a dog's hair when they shake

🪷 While he doesn't get angry about it, he tries to keep your feather shedding at a minimum

My take on a certain part of the McLaren fandom:

Every tag I open I see parasocial behavior.

Let's just touch grass and stop it. It prevents people from enjoying the sport without cringing (and, moreover, be happy for a team's success).

Why do I have to mute stupid tags (anti...) and block people in order to appreciate F1 in peace? Why do people do not understand that this is an highly mechanical/engineering sport and not only a driving sport? Why do you not understand that drivers are humans too?

But mostly, why does it seem so difficult to root for an entire TEAM?

Like, can't we JUST collectively appreciate everything that happened today? Just for once.

Like:

1. Oscar's sprint pole was a significant milestone for him and his career. (And i would love to see him win the sprint). Although he's still a rookie, he's developing into a really good driver (just needs one or two more years to settle down). Also, he has been maturing a lot since the start of the season and you can see that in the way he speaks about the whole "papaya rules" situation (still hate it, no team orders please... Just tell him to not crash both cars.) now compared to before the summer break. (please Oscar, do not let Mark Webber's delusions get into your brain. Thanks.) Also, nice helmet. Love it.

2. Lando finally looks serene and at ease without succumbing to anxiety for other's expectations. (He also seems to not be willing to give a f*ck about WDC, good for him). I'm also really happy that he's back to eating/drinking before races and can finally enjoy driving again. (Noticed him eating an energy bar before the race in Mexico)

I also noticed that he, just like Oscar, matured A LOT this year, especially after the summer break. (Speaking of the elephant in the room: Despite the team's apparent indifference, I still think that WDC can be achieved if he chooses to. Even if they're not interested in helping him due to different priorities or contract clauses)

And no, he is definitely a First Driver. If you think otherwise you are just living in a delusion, sorry. Telemetry, just like Math, is not an opinion.

Like, look at the last qualy time he did (and aborted) before pitting.

(the green lap records are the last sectors performances set by the driver. Look at them. Just look.)

And yes, if he gets the points he deserves a WDC, if he wants to. He IS a really good driver.

Mentality is a concept as old (and toxic) as Helmut Marko. Please, don't be like him.

3. We are finally seeing what the upgrades were for... Especially after whatever Austin was. (And yes guys, BOTH of the drivers have had the upgrades since Austin. Oscar just got 6 upgrades out of 7 at that time... Not none. Sorry to burst your bubble.)

And no, the upgrades DIDN'T actually upgraded the car's overall performances in Austin, you can clearly see that from the data. They purposely sacrificed it for the next races. See this:

https://f1i.com/news/521800-mclaren-explains-decision-to-delay-updated-floor-in-austin.html

Also they took risks with the floor too in Mexico. And no, they didn't give it to Norris because they hate Piastri. They give it to him mainly because he is more experienced and can provide useful data during practice while Oscar still needs to improve this skill.

4. Also, the team has done a great job in finding a way to change the banned rear wing without compromising performance and exceeding the spending cap. Love it. (also they made a new beam wing configuration specifically for Interlagos and it, apparently, works really well!)

I'm still not convinced that we currently have the best car on the grid (Ferrari looks really solid anywhere) but it's already better than the rocky start we got in US.

Not gonna lie, the moment they sprayed the WHOLE side of the car with the flow-vis in Austin i was like "goddammit, no improvements"... So I'm relieved that it wasn't the case (better sacrifice a race than discard the upgrades package entirely like Ferrari did in Silverstone).

WCC wise, I just hope that today they don't do something silly risking two MCL38 in a multi21. (And that we get some good strategies... Hopefully... Ok, I think I need to start pray some ancient god for that.)

And what If they multi21? Well, it would be really entertaining, but I don't think Lando wants to risk points/DNF for that. It's just not his style. (Mentality again? Go to bed grandpa... And take your medicines)

Let's be healthy fans, guys. Not parasocial delulus. We can rant about McLaren shenanigans TOGETHER.

Like, YES, i'm still convinced that the strategy team/management team is doing a real poor job this year. Both in managing the races and managing the drivers. (Including Bortoleto's contract clauses...)

And last (and least?), I loved the Google chromed livery aesthetically... HATED it aerodynamically. You won't be missed. Sorry Google, I had to say it.

Thank you for reading my rant. Love y'all (even if you don't agree with me)!

[quantifiableconnections]

I just finished watching Skam (Norway) today and let’s just say I’m not kidding when I say this is one of the BEST shows I’ve ever watched. I did take a lot of time to watch all the seasons (spanning over one year) but I enjoyed each and every moment of it. Well, some a little less than others. Hence, I have some thoughts and please forgive my yapping.

Okay so Season 1. I actually liked it quite a lot. The acting was good, and it gave a nice start to the whole story.

The getting together of the girls was the highlight obviously, but I really liked the portrayal of Eva in this, as a kind of lost teenager who doesn’t have a lot of direction in her life and is mostly dependent on her boyfriend.

I did think the Isak plot line in this was a little badly done, but I guess it was necessary for the big reveal in the end.

I think the fact that Eva was able to resolve things with Ingrid was very unrealistic, considering they had literally been besties and she basically stole her man. But really idk.

Talking about Jonas, he was majorly gaslighting Eva during the season so I think their relationship was a little immature. Classic right person wrong time.

Penetrator Chris is SO HOT. Especially in that mf smoky eye makeup istg. But he’s a giant asshole and we do not support him.

Season 2. Okay. First let’s start with the showstealer. Eskild my man. I don’t think Eskild is appreciated enough in the whole series but I absolutely love him!! He is so mature, and is such a good friend. I love the dynamic between him and Noora and even him and Linn.

Now let’s address the elephant in the room because why not? I did not like Noorhelm all that much. William never had much of a character development and we never get to see him expressing a lot of emotions. I forever stand by the opinion that Noora was too good for him. Many people talk about William’s support of Noora’s decision to not have sex, but really, that’s like settling for the bare minimum that can be expected from a decent person.

I think the dickhead of a brother had more personality than William. So in conclusion, season 2 did not really impress me but I’d watch it again for Eskild.

Eva hooking up with Chris?? The guy she cheated on her ex with? Can’t say I like this.

Season 3 is SO well done. There’s no question about it. I love Isak’s slow acceptance of his sexuality. From being a closeted gay guy who made homophobic comments to fit in, to a happy and out gay guy in a relationship.

Absolutely adore the boys. Jonas, Mahdi, Magnus. I especially loved Magnus and his take on the whole situation.

Eskild coming in and stealing the show yet again?!!

Emma and Sonja are VICTIMS. As much as I love Evak, they fucked their girlfriends over pretty bad and I hate them for it. Also, Emma is soooooooooo pretty.

The story of Even. His whole character portrayal. The picturisation of his mental issues. Chef’s kiss.

Minute by minute??? Are you trying to kill me here??? It is SO wholesome and they both have matured so much, especially Isak, dealing with his sexuality plus his boyfriend’s mental issues so delicately.

Their chemistry. Their chemistry. Their chemistry.

Sonja should NOT have apologised.

Overall, this season is tied with the fourth as my favourite.

Season 4. Sana is my favourite character hands down. She is portrayed so well, we see all her insecurities, beliefs so beautifully.

Yousana is my favourite couple. Evak is a close second.

The understanding between them, the intellectual conversations, the level of maturity. Just wondrous.

I did think the whole situation with the russ bus was overdone. I never really understood why Sana was so involved with it in the first place. This could easily have been summed up in one episode leaving time for more Yousana development.

Yousef is such a green flag omg. He’s literally the cutest out of all skam boys( my opinion). I just wish he had more screen time.

Elias and Sana??? Whatever bits and pieces we got to see of their relationship were GOLD.

I. Love. My. Girls. So. Much. I just wish Sana was shown interacting more with all of them, not just Noora. Also Yousef and Noora working together to thaw Sana??

I canNOT stress this enough. Yousef and Sana are the best couple ( besides Evak obviously). The chemistry, the flirting, everything was done so right that it got me blushing furiously through the screen. And they managed to do all this without showing any kind of physical contact. Just lovely. The way they counter each other’s opinions with such delicacy and respect makes me believe that they are definitely going to last.

The situation with Even and Mikael and all the balloon squad boys should have been given more screen time.

The way Sana’s faith and her relationship with her family were handled are commendable. We see the dilemma, the cogs of her brain working, and how she accepts her fate and doesn’t sway from her beliefs. I strongly believe that her and Yousef will handle their differences maturely and still come out to be a strong couple.

I SWEAR SHE AND I ARE SOULMATES?????? Cutest shit I’ve ever seen.

Sana and Isak’s friendship means so much to me. In Season 3, we see her rising above her opinions and respecting homosexuality. Here we see Isak figuring Sana out and helping her see beyond her strong opinions. And wdym Sana??? You are best buds.

Okay. The last episode. I absolutely loved it. It’s one of the best season finales I’ve ever watched. We go into the lives of all the girls and some of the guys too. I literally teared up at the Eskild and Linn part!!( idk why they still address Chris as penetrator Chris when his face is literally on the screen like people we know it’s not our girl?? Idk I find it extremely funny). I wish they had shown more of Vilde and Chris’ friendship in the past and not just the final episode. The Even part was absolutely incredible. His insecurities, his fears, and we see him pacifying Isak and not the other way around. Yousef texting Sana from Turkey?? And saying he’ll take her there?? My heart melted.

I literally don’t think Noorhelm is going to last long even though they have reconciled. Something just seems off. Joneva is back??? Didn’t really like the buildup but I guess they could be a good couple as they are more mature than the last time.

Okay. So that sums it up more or less. My favourite was season 4, closely followed by season 3. My favourite characters were Sana and Eskild, they were just so amazing. I related to Sana fiercely all through the show.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk. Feel free to give your own opinions please!!!!

Went from wedding to children/family headcanons a bit, so it’s kind of a long one, guys-

Leona and Morel would probably have an intimate wedding without all of the buzz royal weddings usually generate. Close friends and family would be invited and maybe a few family friends, too.

Leona finds those big royal affairs exhausting and Morel is uncomfortable with the idea of her wedding being a massive political and public event rather than a day to celebrate the love she and Leona share.

So parents would be there, Mrs. Rosehearts excluded because she doesn’t really approve of Leona because of his laziness nor was she really invited. Falena and his family would be there, of course, and Cheka would probably be the ring bearer. Of course Riddle and Rayne would be there since Morel couldn’t imagine her wedding without two of her favorite people. And friends like Yvette, Jack, Vil, Jamil, and their significant others would also be there. And before anyone says I forgot him, Ruggie would most likely be Leona’s best man and his two siblings would also be there (Ruggie is definitely the oldest of triplets).

After the ceremony and pictures, Cheka would likely be sent home so the reception could be more of an adult event and so Cheka wouldn’t see or hear things that he shouldn’t since he is young. The night would be very fun, lots of music and dancing and a bit of alcohol because what’s a wedding without alcohol?

I imagine Leona and Morel would spend a bit of time with their friends and family for a couple of days before they went on their honeymoon. They’d probably go to a couple different places, I mainly see them spending two weeks in a secluded beach house on the shore of the Coral Sea, and then possibly travel around to different markets in the Shaftlands and the Scalding Sands for a week and a half, and to finish off their honeymoon, they’d probably secretly spend the rest of their honeymoon time at the hot spring spa that used to be known as an elephant graveyard and a no man’s land.

The whole ordeal would probably be a month long of just enjoying each other’s company and spending time together for Morel and Leona before they’d have to go back to work.

And, since Morel would become a princess upon marrying Leona, she’d have a few royal duties to fulfill and get used to. Leona is happy to help with these things because it’s an excuse to constantly be with the woman he’d denied loving for so long for some fucking reason (he’s a tsundere).

They’d probably have their first child fairly early within their marriage, with Morel getting pregnant on their honeymoon and finding out two months later. It was definitely a surprise but a welcome one.

Morel would give birth to their daughter prematurely, at about 34 weeks pregnant. Surprisingly quite a healthy preemie, though she was still small and would have it worse than most cubs when she would eventually get sick later in life. She’d be a cute little beastman, with white hair and vitiligo and very pink cheeks. Probably has Leona’s eyes, only they’re a bit on the blue side of green, and mean mugs you if you wake her up from her nap like him, too. Naming was definitely a bit of a bump in the road, but eventually it was decided that her name would be Gardenia Kingscholar.

Sweetest little baby ever, even with her mean mug and the fact that she loves to gnaw on her daddy’s ears. She also gets confused on why her mama doesn’t have ears like her and her daddy. She loves playing with her cousin Cheka and she thinks it’s funny to pull Uncle Falena’s hair. Uncle Riddle and Auntie Rayne are really fun to play games with, but Uncle Ruggie is definitely her favorite babysitter and bonus points if his brother and sister tag along, too.

When Gardenia was about eleven, her twin baby brothers, Karim and Leilani, were born. They have lighter skin than Leona and have his dark brown hair and emerald eye color, but their eyes are wide in shape like Morel’s and Karim has regular human ears and no tail but has lion mannerisms and characteristics like slit pupils and fangs while Leilani has ears and a tail like Leona. Other than the ears and tail, the twins are identical and could very easily switch places.

The twins are complete mama’s boys and have been since birth. They’re really sneaky and are quite mischievous, kind of like Merida’s brothers from the movie Brave. Much like their mother and sister, both Karim and Leilani have very big sweet tooths and will do almost anything if it means they get a sweet treat, but they will up the price if they’re being asked for a big favor (they learned this from Uncle Ruggie). Karim can bargain his way out of almost anything while Leilani is more so on the sneaky side of getting things and can swipe almost anything without getting caught. But both boys will always fold if they got caught by Morel because, again, they’re mama’s boys who are practically physically incapable of pulling any stunts on their precious mother.

Leona and Morel do take a tiny bit to get used to parenting, but they, like most parents, find it gets a lot easier with time. Leona kind of feels like fate cheated him because he got one daddy’s girl while Morel got two mama’s boys who make him jealous of getting Morel’s attention but he still loves his boys very much. Though their children are chaotic to an extent, Leona and Morel wouldn’t change a thing because they’re living a comfortable life with their beautiful children and spending their days with their respective love of their life.

(Don’t you worry those pretty little heads, my fellow hyperfixators! I’ll be making profiles of the children at some point!)

No reaction, no doubts

In my previous posts (here and here) I kicked the three alien gods. In this post I'll kick the different aspect of the moments with them. Specifically, the moment in 5 season.

Let's look at the comics for the start. Jack lost his sword due to the energy burst during his attempt to open the time portal. In despair, he wanders and hides from Aku (and in the comics Aku immediately felt the destruction of the sword and put Jack on the wanted list, so everyone is ordered/offered to kill Jack — pretty weird that Aku didn't use his mirror for finding and killing Jack himself, because I doubt that changing of your clothess and getting long hair and beard will hide you from magic mirror, so Aku used for this Jack's blood, given to him by the bounty hunter robot, and then finally found out Jack without the sword). And then the exhausted and weakened Jack remembers his dad and the tale of how Emperor got the sword.

And here Emperor tells the story, very close to the events in "Birth of Evil". And apparently it happens before 1 season 1 episode. I guess, Jack was too young to not notice, how his dad doesn't mention some events in later iterations. Because, as I pointed out here, there's contradiction. Or the alien gods really started to erase some memories of Jack's dad?

Here Emperor admits that he watched Aku's birth, but doesn't aknowledge (or doesn't realize his responsibility) that he himself accidentally created Aku, gave the life to him. Because here he doesn't mention about the poisoned arrow and his attempt to destroy the dark shred, which instead caused Aku's birth.

For some reason their laser from eyes here is green instead of blue. Hmm, just like the color of the poison the Emperor used... But no matter, Jack is exhausted and simply hallucinates.

This color changing could be done because of visual aesthetics, but still pretty weird.

I mean, their main color is exactly blue. In "Birth of Evil" their laser/fire is blue, the light from their weapons is blue, even the eyes of their animals are blue. Ra's crocodile, Odin's stallion, although Rama's elephant has pink eyes, but I think that it's implying that Rama and his animal are blind (because Rama's eyes are black). Plus, the raven, another Odin's animal, also has blue eyes and blue light as well, when it teleported Jack to the castle of the alien gods, where they made the sword to Jack's dad in "Birth of Evil". (yep, even here the comics are authentic and respectful to the classic seasons and their canon — if in "Birth of Evil" Odin's stallion leads Jack's dad to their castle, in the comics Odin's raven leads Jack).

Later the alien gods appear in their true form (just like the classic episodes, the comics also hint that the monks are simply their human forms/avatars) and tell to Jack another part of the story, the beginning. Jack is calm here, because he knows about them from his father's tales. Remember that moment.

And this scene has own weird moments. Notice that they never refer to Aku as to a living being (which was deprived of free will and chance to become accepted, loved and "good guy" creature). They refer to Aku as the part of the Void of Ultimate Evil. And the most astounding thing — they don't mention that both they and the Void arose from the same star. Simply saying, the thing they know nothing about they themselves mark as the evil and kill, as well as the offspring (Aku) of this void they treat as the shred of the evil, which must be killed. They created the rules of this game. And they don't mention that Emperor created Aku as well. They test and judge Jack for loss of the sword (ah, guys, you themselves have weapons for "destroying the evil", what's problem? and why didn't you say to Jack that it's a bad idea to create time paradoxes?). And they also hint to Jack what his father said to him once in 1 episode of 1 season — the sword is just a tool, the main thing is the soul and its strength and purity.

They don't make to Jack the new sword, they don't restore Emperor's sword, they hint the way how Jack can make his own spirit to be his own weapon. And Jack does this in the deadly battle with Aku. He'll never give up.

Incredibly epic and powerful moment. Despite some strange moments, the comics really nailed the core of the show and the character. Awesome arc, leading to his decision to fight for the future and his friends he met and helped.

But this beauty was destroyed and threw away from canon in favor of the cursed 5 season. Hence nothing of this happened in the show anymore. What caught me out of guard in 5 season — Jack's absolutely absent reaction at the alien gods during his first encounter with them. Emperor never told to him about the alien gods and what they did, Jack never knew about it. Simply saying, he sees them for the first time, but there's no fear, no suspicion, no distrust, no assumption that they can be another spies or bounty hunters etc. And when they briefly mention that Jack was the chosen one just like his father, Jack again has no reaction. He doesn't ask them at all about "You knew my dad? You created the sword? Who are you? You know Aku — what caused the conflict in the first place? Why you ignored me all these 50 years? Why you ignored Aku's crimes on Earth and didn't beat him themselves all this time?". Why?!

Like, at least, in "Birth of Evil" Emperor's "absent" reaction (his face was literally "WTF is going on?!") was understandable — like, he encounters the supernatural beings for the first time in his life, he wants to protect his family and kingdom from the creature he created (without realizing this) and saw as the deadly threat, so he seeks for help and easily believes to the creepy trio's words about Ultimate Evil thing, because they create the weapon for him to succeed in defeating the demon. Why Jack has no reaction and no doubts, I have no idea.

Let's Talk Whump

Welcome to Let’s Talk Whump, a series of interviews that spotlight the amazing people in our whump community! I’m Malice and I’ll be your host today. 

Today’s I’m talking whump with the amazing @lonesome–hunter!

(this blog and the recommended pieces contain NSFW and are 18+)

Welcome to Let’s Talk Whump! Would you mind sharing a little about yourself?

Howdy! My name is Sarah but everyone usually calls me Lonesome. I'm an elder here in the community lol. I love thrifting, smoking pot, birdwatching and Disney World (I live so close to it). My favorite colors alternate between black, various greens and burnt orange. I truly love all animals. There's no way I could pick just one. I am particularly fond of moths, owls, elephants and exotic birds. 

I'm a big stoner goth aunt and I love connecting with people. So feel free to come talk to me anytime!

What does whump mean to you? 

It's absolutely an outlet for me. When I was a kid I couldn't figure out why I liked seeing people tied up in people's basements in movies and on TV so much but it never left my mind. Those feelings are there, the excitement. When I started writing in fifth grade I realized I could produce those feelings by writing the stories myself.

And trauma dumping through fictional people is almost therapy lol.

And how did you find the whump community? What made you want to join? 

During the first season of Supernatural I got on live journal and found other SPN communities. Then I fell down a rabbit hole that led me to whump. I finally had a word and a whole bunch of people who felt the same way which felt validating after being told I'm weird from teachers and family members.

During the pandemic I reconnected with it when I was in a dark place and really got into what everyone was doing. I thought "maybe I can do this". The rest is history.

Do you think your view on whump changed since you joined in terms of trope enjoyment or consumption style?

My view on whump has always been the same really. No one is hurting anyone and with proper warnings we can write the darker stuff some of us really enjoy.

I can't really say there are any I changed my mind over. Any trope can be good if it sucks you in with the writing. 

And your favourite whump tropes because it’s guaranteed there’ll be more than one!

 Ooh wee here we goooo lol. I dig dehumanization, whipping, sadistic whumpers, noncon, water torture, stress positions, begging. So many.

Time to share your awesome writing. Do you have a favourite piece you've written? 

So my first main series “The Devil’s Highway” has been my baby for three plus years and I’m excited to rework it now that I have more tools at my disposal. That being said, I really am proud of what I did with “Bury Me Beneath The Weeping Willow Tree”. It features some heavy TWs so be mindful of that but that almost stopped me from wanting to do it. Would showing Big Boy and Darlin’s graphic murder be too far? Probably lol. But I really dug deep in and got emotional writing it honestly. And it shows Ezra that this weird love Josiah has for me won’t protect him like he thinks it will. It didn’t work for Big Boy. Those two guys are secretly my favorite and I’m most excited about reworking that particular story.

Your imagery is deliciously brutal and creepy. I’m obsessed with it, it’s that good! Do you have a writing routine or is it more when inspiration strikes?

Definitely a night owl. I can’t focus until it’s dark out. Gotta have water and a little sweet drink to keep me focused. I tend to write when something strikes, lately it’s been extremely dry for me creatively but I’m trying to stretch my legs again and get back into it.

And do you find that it’s easier to write some things over others?

I can write the hell out of dreams, surrealism and atmosphere. That’s always been my favorite thing to do writing wise. Also death fics are fun lol.

Dialogue is my least favorite and it probably shows but can’t get better without practice.

Is there anything you're working on at the moment?

Been working on the rework of The Devil’s Highway, started a fun little prompt series about a bunch of masked men and I have another forced to fight series with slow burn romance than I’ve ever done before.

Do you have a joke or pun you would like to share to spread some smiles today?

I wish I could remember the dad joke my customer told me last night that sent me into a coughing fit but I have another one for you.

"What do you call a factory that makes okay products?" "A satisfactory."

That got a laugh out of me! Is there any writing advice you’d like to share?

Just have fun. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself and just write for yourself.

And tag your stuff!

Shout out to your favourite writing/whump blogs, bffs or people who've inspired you. We're hyping everyone one up here!!!

Oh man there's so many I could be here all day but these folks have truly helped me so much over the years and I would die for them lol

@knivestothroats, @galaxywhump, @girlsjustwannadrawwhump, @evermetnotforgotten, @redstainedsocks, @coldresolve, @whumpshaped, @whumpfigure, @ephemeral-phosphorescence, @whump-me-all-night-long, 

Anything you'd like to add?

Save Florida from Facists!

So good to have you here today, @lonesome--hunter! 

And to all you folks at home, have a whump-derful day!

Gundam: The Witch Witch from Mercury Episode 9 Review

- I’m sorry Shaddiq, you struck out, and you struck out hard. I was right in my assessment that he loved her, but unfortunately he was never honest. If he had trusted Miorine and treated her like an equal, he may have been able to win her heart, but he didn’t. He wants everyone to act on his own terms, so he can be safe and secure in his outcome, but real people don’t work that way. They have their own thoughts and feelings, ones that could come into opposition with his own. However he refused to acknowledge this, unlike Suletta who’s a very open minded person. Suletta gave Miorine support but never coddled her, but Shaddiq only knows how to coddle. That’s why he’ll never be able to come into the greenhouse and why Miorine cut off the green tomato. Their love was unripened and will never come to fruition

- The battle this episode truly showed the definition of a team battle. Shaddiq just used his harem as attack dogs, leaving them to clean up while he takes all the glory of defeating the commander. But Earth House instead works together even after they were torn apart. Each one of them was broken and struggling but they came together to protect Suletta. That’s why she refers to them as “everyone” similarly to her GUND Bits. Earth House is now her family.

- But let’s stop stalling and talk about the elephant, or Aerial, in the room. This episode proves that not only can Aerial communicate with Suletta, there’s more than one being inside it. When I brought up the twelve Eri theory, it was mostly as a joke, but this episode pushes it pretty a bit. The scene where Suletta is talking to the robot while Miorine is confused was pretty terrifying. Hell, even one of Shaddiq’s harem called her a monster for her 360 vision attacks. I hope people start to really question what the fuck is up with this robot, cause so far it seems like the Purple Guy got transported into this universe

- Now let’s talk about the three MVP’s this episode, Chuchu, Till, and Lilique. Chuchu put up the best fight out of the Earth House kids and landed the finishing blow on Shaddiq. I wasn’t sure how good she would do in a sniper suit, but I think it helps reign in some of her more reckless tendencies. Maybe her new suit could be a sniper and up-front melee combination. Till came in super clutch as the one to reassemble the entire squad back together and get Shaddiq. He realized the mistake the harem girls had made in not finishing off the robots and used that to his advantage. Hell, even though he’s a mechanic he did pretty well in the suit. However Lilique once again shows just how perfect she is. Not just a management queen, but a decently talented pilot as well. Also the reveal that she turned down one of Renee’s backup simps boyfriends was hilarious. She has a body type pretty unique in anime but she’s also seen to be very attractive.

- The harem girls got a bit of spotlight this episode, but nothing too important. Renee’s pretty cute, but Felsi is still the best tussle brown haired girl. Sabina has her own lesbian fan club which makes so much sense it’s not even funny. And Henao is flexible as fuck

- Lauda went full psycho this episode, unnerving both Secilia and Rouji who just want to chill. He’s got a serious brother complex, and I’d like to know the backstory between them. He’ll definitely be a villain trying to “save” his big brother from the evil Mercurian witch’s grasp, without realizing Guel’s happier this way. Maybe we’ll get the Guel vs Lauda fight I predicted and a touching reunion between brothers, or most likely Lauda will let revenge cloud over his mind and die for it, possibly by Guel’s hand. I’m emotional either way. Also would be interested in seeing more of his relationship with Secilia since the series seems to be pushing the two sort of as rivals

- Once again, it’s Guel loving hours with me as your host. The moment I saw Suletta in the woods, I knew what was happening but god damn did I love it anyways. Guel calling her “country bumpkin” will always be adorable and I can see it transforming into a fond nickname. Though I was sad Guel didn’t participate in the battle, I think it makes better narrative sense to have Earth House alone work together. But even without a big battle scene, Guel still fucked with my emotions with the talk between him and Suletta. The moment the lights came on was gorgeous, and hopefully indicates that Guel will finally move on from his puppet life. Also once again the show makes the connection between Guel and his father and Suletta and her mother. I think he’ll be the one to support her when she learns the truth about her mother. But his asshole father fucks everything up by stealing away our Guel Camp and getting him unenrolled. Next episode better be him joining Earth House to get away from that shit or else I’m gonna scream. I know I’ve been saying it in every single review but GOD DAMN IT GUEL JUST JOIN!

- Prospera showing some actual emotion this episode with that tear. Her team, her professor, her husband, they were all stolen from her. She‘a been planning this revenge for over 20 years and now she knows nothing can get in her way. Nothing can stop Suletta and Aerial. Now she can put her true plan into motion.

- also finally, Suletta fucking emoted on his ass. If this was to mid 2000’s, you bet she woulda teabagged him

[tobiasdrake]

At last, the secret lab. Allegedly.

Honestly, yeah. Yes, please. Give me one of your masks. If the goal is to sell the illusion that I'm your private secretary, that's all we need. Someone sees me walking around in a Makoto mask, they will assume "Weird Makoto Thing" and pay me no further mind.

That's brilliant. Do that.

At the very least, a change of clothes would be good. I didn't think about this before we got here but Yuma's still wearing the Standard Master Detective Uniform. It's easy to forget 'cause all the Master Detectives are mavericks who screw the rules and dress how they please. But to anyone who knows the WDO, these clothes are a neon sign that reads "MASTER DETECTIVE".

This is like going undercover in a Galactic Empire base, but wearing your white/orange Rebel Alliance Pilot jumper while you do it.

Ooo, maybe there's a murder to solve.

Which. I. Should not. Solve. While I am undercover as a not-murder-solver...

...

But... mystery....

Maybe it's Halara. Maybe this is the same Restricted Area somehow, and now they're halfway through trashing the entire Peacekeeper army to find evidence of malfeasance.

They'd need to get past the biometric scanner to get here, but it's Halara. Remember that time they successfully drew a floor map of a place they'd never visited before? Halara could glare sternly at the biometric scanner, and the scanner would blink and give them a green light.

Yeah, I was thinking that too, Shinigami. The both of us being here at the same time may not be directly related but it's unlikely to be entirely coincidental.

It's okay. We go in, we see what's up, maybe high-five the intruder if they are who I think they are. Everything is fine.

Everything is not fine. We are doomed. This is the worst possible scenario that could ever have occurred. Yuma, why didn't you take the mask when it was offered!?

Going straight into business mode and pretending I'm not even here. Completely ignoring the elephant in the room. That's certainly a choice, Makoto, but I'm not sure if Yomi will go for it.

Makoto strongly implying that Yomi's presence here is suspicious. Would Yomi descend from his ivory tower to catch some burglar?

...

I mean. He sure does descend from his ivory tower to chase after us a whole lot, so this doesn't seem that OOC for him. Though that could be my bias talking, as he's taken a personal interest in our organization specifically.

So maybe it is OOC for Yomi to care about a break-in, but not if it's a WDO-related break-in. Which. If it's Halara. Then.

He's weaseling so hard to get me into that crime scene and I have no idea where he's going with this. I can feel the play being made but cannot for the life of me fathom what maneuvers it will involve.

If you have to tell people that you're charismatic then that's a tacit admission that you're not very charismatic. It's one of those things that can't be self-diagnosed.

Power and numbers, I'll grant you. He's got four armed men with guns while Makoto's got one out-of-place Junior Detective struggling not to pee himself.

Ooo, appealing to Yomi's ego. Yomi is the Scar to Makoto's Mufasa. Putting pride on the line and offering him a chance to prove he's better than Makoto is a genius play.

Yomi has no practical reason to accept Makoto's offer. But Yomi is not a practical man. He's jealous, spiteful, and desperate for validation. How could he possibly resist a dick-measuring contest against the central focus of his ire?

Weird name for a guy who only KO'd a couple guards. I would have expected a Slaughter Artist to. Y'know. Slaughter.

Also, fantastic job subtle-interrogating Yomi there, Makoto. An effective technique for extracting information is to avoid asking questions and instead make false statements. People love to correct people. It's reflexive. If you assert something that's wrong, you're more likely to get a right answer in response than if you merely asked about it in the first place.

Ask someone, "What's John's role?" and he'll tell you to eat shit. But tell him, "We nabbed your boss John," and he might go, "Fuck you, John's a glorified delivery guy. He just moves supplies. You dumbasses think I answer to JOHN?"

Makoto isn't doing that, but what he is doing is that-adjacent. He's playing civil and offering Yomi opportunities to bark information at him. Playing on their rivalry to make Yomi uncooperatively forthcoming with information about the situation taking place.

He's a corporate arms manufacturer so I'm not surprised he's made some deadly enemies. So now we have another serial murderer targeting corporate assholes for retaliation.

Clearly, Fink the Slaughter Artist must be Halara. :P

Okay but why tho. Why send a letter to the cops going, "Hey cops, I'm going to be coming to kill one of your cop scientists soon so you better CLOSE RANKS!"

The existence of this letter is extremely suspicious. A hitman who calls the police to report on himself does not sound like a very good hitman to me.

Just like that, Yomi's snared in the psychological trap Makoto laid for him. He's so eagerly chomping at the bit to prove how much smarter he is than Makoto that he completely forgot he was going to have Yuma dragged away and waterboarded.

This is what a master class in manipulation looks like.

...oh, yeah, I guess he landed that too. Master class in manipulation. This is unsettling, in fact. Makoto, did you hire Fink to break in for the express purpose of providing us with this smokescreen?

...

Hold on. Breaking into a secret government lab. Conspiracies wheeling within conspiracies. Searching for secrets related to homunculi. Out-of-control serial killer running amok. Something about this scenario seems familiar.

...

No, I can't place it. Must have been my imagination. Anyways, let's go see if we can hunt down Barry the Chopper before Yomi does.

FoTw: SDMI - Battle of the Secret Fright Hound

Yeah, you read that right, and no, there is no episode actually called that. You see, the next few episodes couldn't produce enough material to make separate posts for them - especially when compared to the college episode - but I felt like giving you all a gift with an extra-long review covering the designs and stories of the next three episodes. Battle of the Humungonauts, Howl of the Fright Hound, and The Secret Serum. Let's call this the Break-up trilogy.

In these episodes Shelgma finally breaks up and created the first fracture in the group, leading to the hilariously f*cked up and nonsensical plot point of Shaggy picking his dog over a human girl woman.

This sounds like a progressive plot point for a Family Guy episode.

Let's get into this.

Backstory (Part 1): A giant ape-man interrupts the sheriff and mayor's (Fred's Dad) date at a tiki bar by destroying the locale, a scathing critique of Polynesian Appropriation in western media. This draws the gang's attention, which is necessary as Velma has reached her breaking point when it comes to Shaggy's inability to commit. She makes an ultimatum, alongside with Scooby, that Shaggy needs to pick one of them already. Fun fact, this is the first episode where the gang officially calls themselves Mystery Incorporated in the story.

Fred attempts to mend the cracking group dynamic by getting everyone uniforms, much to the group's embarrassment. As the group investigates, it's soon revealed that there are two Humongonauts - one red and another green.

As the Humongonauts continue to wreck different buildings in Crystal Cove, the gang first suspect an escaped Ace Attorney character named Rusty Gnales as the man in the mask. The gang hits there first snag however when the next Humongonaut attack targets Rusty.

With help from Mr. E, Velma puts together how to draw both Humongonauts to the same location. Once the two encounter each other, they duke it out before finally landing into a trap.

First Reveal: The culprits are first seen on-screen when they are unmasked, but both characters were revealed previously through their advertisements! A really cool way to give the answer away without making it too obvious. The Humogonauts turn out to be Max and Jax Minner, twin brothers who were both circus strongmen before entering the Insurance business. They were rivals since one of them transferred to a rival circus, the Humongonaut costumes actually being leftovers from one of their previous acts.

As rivals, they targeted buildings insured by the other to ruin their sibling's business - and Velma got them together by insuring an abandoned dock under both companies.

Design(s): The Humongonauts are two giant humanoid creatures believed by the sheriff to be aliens. Obviously based on the hokey costumes of B-Movie Monsters, the Humongonauts share the same design but with different colors. Despite their large size, they are rather squat proportion-wise, with elephant-like furless legs and gorilla arms. Their faces are orc-like, with wavy boyband member hair and goblin ears.

Interestingly, their biceps and abdomens are hairless like their face, but they also have small scale-like details. Speaking of their faces, there are markings going around their temples and over their eyes that almost resembles a domino mask - though they don't meet in the middle over the bridge of their human noses.

Overall, I find them charming and serviceable, but not that interesting in the long run. I love how they look like heels for a local hometown wrestling tournament who are clearly just there to get beat on by the town's golden boy.

Final Score for The Humongonauts:

2/5, not too interesting but fun bad guys of the week.

Backstory (Part 2): While the last episode had Shaggy avoiding the conversation entirely, this one tackles it head on before leading us to the infamous break-up scene. Before we get there, we must first deal with the Terminator homage sharing the love triangle's screentime.

A rabid and powerful dog has begun a series of random attacks, the first of which being the tour bus Velma's mom drives. Its collar gets left behind while escaping, one remarkably similar to Scooby's. With this evidence the Sheriff decides to detain Scooby-Doo in a mental hospital/prison made specifically for intelligent, and very dangerous animals.

One such case being Professor Pericles, the talking German parrot/mascot for the old Mystery Incorporated. Pericles disposes of the guard for a minute to give some esoteric warnings to the gang, right before Mystery Inc checks up on Scoob to reassure him that they are indeed planning on solving the mystery.

Their first suspect, a boy named Jason, is considered since he's a whiz at robotics and has a crush on Velma. However, he proves to have an alibi and kicks the gang out of his house after they accuse him.

The scary dog then targets the gang, and later on Scooby himself, afterwards. The final showdown begins at the Animal Asylum for the Criminally Insane, where the guards go all out on trying to stop the "Fright Hound". A fire then starts, melting away its fur to reveal that it was a robot all along.

The robot dog then chases Scoob and the gang when they escape the asylum, following them into an abandoned factory where a Forklift-certified Scooby tackles his shadow head on. With the help of the dangerous machinery surrounding them, they proceed to brutally wreck the robo-dog until it stops moving.

The gang then spot the true culprit controlling the machine, before snatching them up with a crane. With the mystery solved, Shaggy reveals that he ultimately chooses Scooby-Doo after realizing how important he is to him.

Velma takes this badly.

Also, the bird breaks out of Arkham Asylum.

Second Reveal: The true culprit is actually Mrs. Wyatt, Jason's Mom. It's actually never even made clear why she did it like this, since attacking Velma's mom did no favors for her son's relationship with the gang. She used her experience with Military-Grade Robotics to create the Fright Hound to help protect her son in a weird, slightly incompetent way.

Design(s): The Fright Hound begins as a large dog the same breed as Scooby, with similar features as well. It's eyes and muzzle, however, are more realistic when compared to Scoob. Its eyes glow red, and long fangs jut out of its mouth past its heavy jowls.

It looks even cooler when its false skin melts off, revealing a terminator-like endoskeleton in the shape of a ferocious dog. Oddly enough, it also looks a bit like a giant robot rat. I really love this design, especially its second form, and it can look legitimately frightening in some shots.

Final Score for The Fright Hound:

5/5, it's motives leave a lot to be desired, but you can't say it isn't an awesome freaking design. So cool.

Backstory (Part 4): Our final episode for this review begins at an auction ran by Daphne's Mom, Nan Blake. It's interrupted by a Vampire who proceeds to swoop in and steal a painting that nobody else wanted.

The episode follows the fallout of Shelgma's breakup, Velma still peeved off over getting second place to a dog. This causes the boys and girls to split up momentarily before the Vampire's crime spree draws them back together to the same clues. Daphne and Velma begin to track Nan Blake's movements, as Daphne's mom has begun sneaking out late at night.

With a little forceful help from Mr. E and his assistant, the gang soon realize that the Vampire is actually stealing ingredients for an Eternal Youth Potion found in an old magazine.

Using this knowledge, they eventually capture her before she can acquire the last item on the list - Daphne being convinced that it's her mom as a real vampire.

Right before she can drive a stake into the Vampire's chest, killing her mom regardless of her undead-ness, the Orlokian removes her mask to avoid dying a painfully brutal death at the hands of a Prep.

Third Reveal: See that vampire-looking lady next to Daphne's Mom? Yeah, that's Sheila Altoonian and she's the Vampire. Resentful of Nan's natural beauty, she attempted to create the potion to avoid aging despite its dubious origins.

Yeah, everyone in the fandom agrees this is top 3 weakest motives in the series.

Design(s): I actually really like this design! It's almost like a Comic Book Villain whose a Vampire, like Morbius, and it fits the show much better than glitter boy. She's a pale bald woman, with features reminiscent of Count Orlok - the best one to do it since Big Drac.

She has an interesting costume, consisting of a heavily modified cape and full bodysuit that cuts off at the elbows and knees. Her cleavage is on full display, and her collar, like all good vampires, is popped open way wide. She wears a black choker and her eyes glow purple.

Her cape and suit are actually structured, in-canon, to use the same physics a Flying Squirrel uses to become airborne. Thus, she could fly and swoop around large, enclosed areas like a real vampire could.

Final Score for the Vampire

3.5/5. Not too original or complex, but I love its sleek design and campy appearance - I feel like a Drag Queen could probably elevate this look further though. Otherwise, a Flying Squirrel Countess is hard to dislike even with a bad motive.

hi! do you have a favorite kind of bug? if so, what is it?

I have several that I really like so I'm gonna make a list of them! they're not really in any particular order, they're just kind of a group of favourites. I think this is gonna be mostly lepidoptera lol.

1. Sphingidae just in general, but especially Elephant Hawkmoths, Death's Head Hawkmoths, and the Pacific Green Sphinx. the two brown caterpillars we had last year were Elephant Hawkmoths and I still can't believe we actually got to raise some

(image sources: Elephant Hawkmoth, Death's Head Hawkmoth, Pacific Green Sphinx)

2. Lycaenidae are also one where it's just a whole family of lepidoptera we like (a friend mentioned them and we looked them up and were like "oh they're amazing" and they quickly became a favourite). I especially like the subfamily Polyommatinae (the Blues), with some of my favourites being the Friday's Blue, Melissa Blue, Holly Blue, and Western Pygmy-Blue. a lot of them have really interesting interactions with ants, such as relying on them for protection, but I know at least one species (the Large Blue) actually eats ants as a caterpillar

(image sources: Friday's Blue, Melissa Blue, Holly Blue, Western Pygmy-Blue)

3. Hesperiidae, also known as skippers, are another one where I love them just in general but I think the Fiery Skipper is probably one of my favourites. they're just very cute and they kind of remind me of hawkmoths but they're in the superfamily Papilionoidea so they're actually a type of butterfly

(image source)

4. the Sargasso Emerald is one of my favourites just because I think it's a cool little dude. look at this funky guy

5. the Vapourer/Rusty Tussock is another one of the species we raised last year and I didn't know much about them before raising one but they have very distinctive looking caterpillars and the adults are sexually dimorphic to the point of looking like completely different species. the caterpillars are known to eat a huge variety of plants which is really convenient when it comes to raising them. I also love tussock caterpillars in general because they're all so fluffy and funky looking

(image sources: male Vapourer, female Vapourer, caterpillar)

6. I feel like I should include cicadas on the list because I just think they're really cool and I'm fascinated by periodical cicadas especially

(image sources: aberrant Cassin's 17-year Cicada, Common Cicada)

7. given that we're called the Ant System I think I'm contractually obligated to include at least one ant and I want to introduce everyone to the absolute little weirdos that are honeypot ants. some members of the colony store food in their abdomens and then regurgitate that for the other ants when needed. I think they're just fascinating little guys

(image sources: Mexican Honeypot Ants, Myrmecocystus)

8. I almost forgot to include these little guys but carpet beetles are going on the list because I see them a lot and I think they're pretty cute little guys

(image sources: adults, larva)

anyway I feel like this is a good list but I've probably also missed so many species that I absolutely adore and I keep stumbling across new ones that are really cool.

I've also been fixating on aberrant lepidoptera recently which isn't really a favourite kind of insect so much as just me being fascinated by all the ones where the colours or patterns are different to what you'd expect for that species

I'm fully back on my bullshit and while I accept you guys don't want to hear about my OCs I am going to talk about them anyway, so here's all my current NRC students (not including any character who can be thought of as Yuu)

All these bitches are still a work in progress.

Tully Bumble - A second year Octavinelle student based off Mr Smee from Peter Pan. As a Smee adaptation, he is friends with my Hook adaptation and is rather clumsy. He acts eager to please and generous and as a peace keeper, but will often bemoan how much he has to do and how irritating others are. He is an older brother and is used to taking care of others. Tully has messy blond hair and red eyes, and wears a red bandanna and glasses.

Aria Campana - A second year Ignihyde student based off Ernesto de la Cruz from Coco. Aria stands out a bit as an Ignihyde student in that he likes to be the centre of attention. A natural born performer who will gladly push others out of the limelight, very much a 'me me me' type. Would join the music club. Has short, curly, black hair and wears silver make-up that is somewhat reminiscent of the markings on Ernesto's skull.

Brutus Claus - A third year Savanaclaw student based off Sabor from Tarzan. He is small but strong, is very stubborn and argumentative, sporty and a bit of a little shit. Track club boy. Obvs a leopard beastman. Browny blond and spotty and all sleek and slinky.

Goldie Corpseflower - A third year Pomefiore student based off Mother Gothel from Tangled. Goldie has ended up being basically all the shit awful takes about Vil the fandom keeps making - he is the bitchy, bratty, self absorbed, beauty obsessed, closed minded hoe of a man. He's also jealous of Vil and thinks he should be housewarden (but never actually challenges Vil for the position because he's a little bitch. He does however trip Vil in the halls and then pretend it wasn't him.) Goldie has long, curly black hair and green eyes. He's in the same form class and club as Vil.

Helmut Corred - A first year Pomefiore student based off Captain Hook from Peter Pan. Helmut has pretty bad anxiety and tends to overthink things. Probably has a fear of the ocean. Flamboyant. Has curly black hair, blue eyes and a prosthetic hand. He is in the film research club.

Nat Dentlar - A first year Octavinelle student based off Darla from Finding Nemo. He has a huge obsession with sea life and the mermen in his dorm. He wants to pick them up and shake them like a doll, pull their tails, get a tooth and a scale and examine them under microscopes. He loves fishies so much (please god help the fishies). Nat has short red hair and green eyes, freckles and braces (but not the headgear Darla has). He is in the science club.

Coral Ethanoli - A first year Savanaclaw student based off the pink elephants from Dumbo. He and his brothers are identical quadruplets. While all four are playful, mischievous and like to confuse and bewilder others, Coral is persistent, stubborn and athletic, often showing off as a natural gymnast. He is in the music club.

Fuchsia Ethanoli - A first year Heartslabyul student based off the pink elephants from Dumbo. He and his brothers are identical quadruplets. While all four are playful, mischievous and like to confuse and bewilder others, Fuchsia typically takes the role of the strict and bossy leader (which more often than not just gets him teased by his brothers.) He is in the basketball club.

Orchid Ethanoli - a first year Diasomnia student based off the pink elephants from Dumbo. He and his brothers are identical quadruplets. While all four are playful, mischievous and like to confuse and bewilder others, Orchid's brand of mischief is typically seen as more wild and out there than that of his brothers. He is in the track club.

Pastel Ethanoli - a first year Scarabia student based off the pink elephants from Dumbo. He and his brothers are identical quadruplets. While all four are playful, mischievous and like to confuse and bewilder others, Pastel is shown to be quite resourceful and intelligent, putting a lot of planning and forethought into his actions. He is in the film research club.

Maine Frostjammer - A third year Heartslabyul student based off Snowball from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Maine is a busybody who greatly values the rules and the upholding of order. He is a horse beast man with long black hair, braided in several sections. He's tall and built like a brick wall. Thanks to me joking about Twisted Frollo and his horse being a thing, Maine has met Rollo and has a crush on him.

Scorpius Hankerspire - A first year Octavinelle student based off Mr Scroop from Treasure Planet. His uncle is a member of staff at NRC, and is representative of Silver from the same film. Scorpius is a little ball of rage, moody and standoffish. He may be fae or half-fae. He has shoulder length white hair with red streaks, red eyes and fangs, as well as red cross hatch lines around his eyes.

Elvir Picklepuss - A second year Heartslabyul student based off Edgar from The Aristocats. Struggles a lot with classes, may have learning difficulties. Fairly gentle, a good cook, good with animals. In the Equestrian club.

Guy Pinaster - A second year Ignihyde student based off Syndrome from The Incredibles. Naturally a huge tech nerd who likes to build and tinker with things, whatever comes to mind. Talks to himself as he does it. Thinks he's better than you, and will get into really petty fandom arguments with you at the drop of a hat. Ofc ginger with blue eyes and freckles. Ofc in the science club.

Naloa Pitaata - A second year Pomefiore student based off Tamatoa from Moana. Naloa is graceful , cheeky and sassy, but seems relatively kind and generous. He takes good care of himself and adores jewellery, having a large collection of different jewels and accessories. In all his outfits he will wear any accessories he can get away with, be it bracelets, necklaces, rings, piercings, anklets, hair ornaments, whatever. Unlike Tamatoa, Naloa believes firmly in inner beauty as well as outer. He has long, curly hair, mostly bubblegum blue but the front left is pink. His nose is pierced on the left, and his left leg is prosthetic. He tends to use coconut based products for skin and hair care. He lives with his grandmother.

Khei Purrgattony - A first year Pomefiore student based off Am from The Lady and the Tramp. Khei is cheeky and mischievous, and seems to have trouble filtering his thoughts before they reach his mouth. He seems to have met Professor Crewel prior to enrolling in NRC, supposedly because Crewel is a good friend of his elder step-sister. Alongside his twin, Khei is an expert at causing trouble but pretending to be innocent and playing the victim. Khei is a cat beast man. He has chin length cream hair with black tips (plus matching tail), black ears, blue eyes, fangs and a brown birth mark around his eyes and nose.

Shayn Purrgattony - A first year Pomefiore student based off Si from The Lady and The Tramp. Shayn has better self control and acting skills than his brother, making him better at getting them out of trouble and less likely to say something out of the blue that might get them in trouble. Like Khei, Shayn is cheeky, mischievous and enjoys causing trouble for others through playing pranks, breaking things and being an overall little shit. He's an expert at playing the victim and pretending to be an innocent sweetheart. He is physically identical to his brother, though his hair is slightly longer and he will tie it back for PE or alchemy classes. He also has a birthmark on his face, but it is different in shape to Khei's.

Kahoda Saanp - A first year Savanaclaw student based off Kaa from The Jungle Book. Kahoda is crafty and intelligent, spiteful and opinionated. He has a huge soft spot for children. He's very flexible and is happy to show off either his mental capabilities or his gymnastic talent. He tends to stick close to Ty. Kahoda has dark brown curly/frizzy hair that tangles easily, which annoys him a lot, and hazel eyes. He wears glasses with red frames. May have a younger brother based off Sir Hiss from Robin Hood.

Bugsy Sackville-Baggins - A first year Ignihyde student based off Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas. He's introverted as many Ignihyde students tend to be, but is playful and likes to scare others on purpose. Very quiet and very good at sneaking up on others.

He's in the board game club.

Jonathan Softsword - A third year Scarabia student based off Prince John from Robin Hood. Jonathan is a whiny brat with mummy issues. He acts way younger than he is and clings to others. He's somewhat desperate for attention and positive affirmation from others. He is a prince somewhere and like Leona has a bitter relationship with his elder brother. Jonathan is a lion beast man with long ginger hair and hazel eyes.

Ty Sundar - A third year Savanaclaw student based off Shere Khan from The Jungle Book. He is a polite young man who cuts an imposing and intimidating figure. He has a great deal of pride and self confidence, and can be quite stubborn. Mans has short, black hair, amber eyes, is tall and athletic and wears an orange turban or headscarf. He is in the track club.

Ned Switt - A third year Diasomnia student based off Randall Boggs from Monsters' Inc. Ned is highly competitive and ambitious, a sneaky little fucker and almost certainly also little shit material. He's a fae lad with purple hair, green eyes, purple and blue scales in a pretty pattern across his skin and also he wears purple glasses. Also pointy razor teeth. was I lazy with his name and just gave him Randall's beta names? Absolutely.

George Roy Trotach - A second year Scarabia student based off Hans from Frozen. George is a quiet and lonely individual, having spent much of his childhood and formative years neglected and ignored, he tries to be independent, determined to survive in this shitty world. He can't stand bright sunshiny people and sure as sugar ain't here to make friends. He's got short brown hair and blue eyes. He's in the equestrian club.

Chester Van Trout - A second year Octavinelle student based off Captain Gantu from Lilo & Stitch. He's easily irritated, hard working but impulsive, happy to use brute force when he sees fit.

Brian Vinewood - A third year Savanaclaw student based off Clayton from Tarzan. Brian is very loud, brash and impatient, and has an interest in hunting, similar to Rook in that 'what a lovely fur coat you would make' way. would turn Brutus into a coat for sure if given half a chance. Has messy blond-brown hair. Is in the spelldrive club.

Cuddy Weathers - A third year Heartslabyul student based off Dawn Bellwether from Zootopia. Cuddy comes across as a meek neat freak who flits about making sure everything is perfectly in order. He has a keen interest in politics. He has curly platinum blond hair and blue eyes. Looks like the kind of dude who would be at home in RSA, is also a shady asshole. I mean, what politician isn't?

Falcon Yanise - A second year Scarabia student based off Shan Yu from Mulan. Arrogant and confident, respectful of those he recognises as strong or intelligent, and loves birbs. Collects bird related stuff, and if I ever plan out a unique magic for any of these characters, Falcon's is gonna use the idea of Shan Yu being able to look through his falcon's eyes somehow. He has long black hair in a ponytail and dark grey eyes. He's in the equestrian club.
