#i have a theory that it might be due to support being not as strong this patch

[meat-kat-ultra]

Honestly after awhile the main thing thats frustrating about this patch is the matchmaking. Like the dps passive isnt necessarily bad but when you are in a match with a silver/gold tank who doesn't understand natural cover it's a fucking nightmare

FIREBALL

this could be the sound of Will shooting fireballs. The same OST plays 'She'll Kill You'

Will doesn't look too thrilled to use the fireballs but he can rise to the occasion when the time demands it. Till then, he'll stick to his wisdom. (possibly due to its adverse reaction, eg: nuclear bombs are potent but come with terrible side effects, irreversible damages). HE USES THEM WISELY. Foreshadowing his restrain.

*FIRE CAUTION*

Note: These might be little far-fetched. This is my failed attempt to understand why dialogues emphasised on color of fireball? i could be way off. i am following Marvel's interpretation since X-Men and Superman have been mentioned by the party.

GREEN LANTERN AND color of his ring theory

Green lantern powers(embedded in his rings) and parallel with will byers. 'Will' POWER is his actual power. Will is at the centre of his power.

Energy Projection: It can emit powerful blasts of energy, create force fields, and provide energy-based attacks for offense and defense. (electromagnetic field & fireballs?)

Data Analysis and Scanning: it can scan for information, detect energy signatures, and provide tactical analysis.(Nina project, IP?)

Teleportation: Some rings have the ability to teleport the wearer across vast distances. (true sight, now memories?)

Environmental Adaptation: It creates a life-support system for the wearer, allowing them to survive in extreme conditions, including the vacuum of space. (upside down?)

Time Travel the ring has been used to manipulate time. Wormholes and Spatial Warps: The power ring grants its wearer access to wormholes in space, enabling the ring wielder to rapidly cut time and distance needed for transport. The Guardians established at least one known wormhole to Oa, which once required the use of a power ring to enter. (Gates)

Weaknesses

Willpower Dependence: The ring’s strength is directly tied to the user’s willpower and emotional focus. If the user doubts themselves or loses concentration, the ring's effectiveness diminishes.

Limited Charge: The ring has a finite charge and must be recharged regularly using a power battery, which connects to the Central Power Battery on Oa. If it runs out of energy, the user becomes powerless. (Dustin's remark "Dead battery". eleven being drained)

speaking of charger, Mike is shown to be directly or indirectly associated with POWER SWITCH & SOCKETS ( source of energy? a charger ? a battery? for will?)

Vulnerability to Fear (Parallax Influence) : Lanterns' weakness to the 'COLOR YELLOW' came from the Fear entity trapped within the Green Lantern Corps' central power battery.

Mental or Emotional Instability: Strong negative emotions (fear, doubt, or anger) can interfere with a Green Lantern's ability to wield their ring effectively.

Mental Instability Protocol: Drug use, neural interference, vertigo or other forms of mental incapacitation can render the wearer unable to use their ring, rendered useless.

“I don’t know who’s been raising you, but I’m gonna get you some new crayons because it looks like he’s shooting cabbages.”

Is Will a Most Powerful 'Failed experiment'? like Madelyne Pryor?

Another green x-men, who is, possibly the most powerful, Goblin Queen (Clone of Jean) , X-Men Goblin Queen, Madelyne Pryor, X-Men's Most Dangerous, anti-hero. She unlocked her latent psychic powers. In addition to those, Madelyne also had the ability to perform sorcery, which she used to summon goblins and demons.

Madelyne eventually learns that she's a clone of Jean created by Mister Sinister. Sinister originally discarded her as a failed experiment, until the Phoenix itself gave Madelyne sentience.

Madelyne's powers are incredible hence the suggestion. might i add, a close parallel to will's alleged powers.

i am a more of a 'will byers is superman' kinda guy. but my personal favourite being will byers 'a divine deity/god' @greenfiend 's theory.

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

connecting green lantern with Kryptonite: Green latern's ring can project beams of force powered by the will of the user. The ring can be used to 'produce kryptonite' and kryptonite radiation.

in context of SUPERMAN

Superman is a regular Kryptonian man, He gets his powers from our yellow sun, green kryptonite cancels that.

Uranium fluoresces green under U.V. light (Atomic Bomb theory correlation)

Green Kryptonite : It was a radioactive element composed of pieces of the exploded planet Krypton. Surviving natives of Krypton, Superman is weakened by exposure to Green Kryptonite. Prolonged exposure could result in fatal radiation poisoning.

Red kryptonite :Superman has suffered the following effects upon exposure to various pieces of Red Kryptonite: Transformed into a dragon, Rendered temporarily blind to anything colored green, Loss of power, Gained telepathy, Generated an evil doppelganger , Mental transference, Personality alteration

vecna mind lair is red toned

BLUE-K : most interesting one is Blue-K (Upside down is blue toned)

Blue Kryptonite can reverse the effects of Red Kryptonite and can work wonders on afflicted Kryptonians. Perhaps Will created upside down to save himself & hawkins? (Superman is credited for manufacturing Blue-K, to save fellow Kryptonian see the kryptonite handbook) Effects on Bizarro(Man of steel's doppelganger and a supervillain) Blue Kryptonite weakens Bizarro (does Upside Down weakeans Vecna, hence he needs tentacles to recharge?) in a similar way to how Green Kryptonite weakens Superman. It can also sedate Bizarro, allowing him to be apprehended. Blue Kryptonite can also have a calming effect on Bizarro, removing his rage toward Superman. Blue-k was created by reversing the ionic charge of green kryptonite.

How exactly does clothing work for the monster guys in your inhuman AU? Is there anything like specific means of dressing or accessorizing? For centaurs, nagas, driders, harpies, etc. especially. Clothing and accessories would have to be tailored around the parts of their bodies that are inhuman.

Ah, I've talked a bit about this in another post's reblogs.

@fidenciothecryptidgent said-

"My personal theories would be that the majority of day to day clothing is fairly loose with straps to help adjust to go over tails or wings or spines and plenty of clothes tend to have backless versions or even what's basically a removable back but maybe fashionably hidden (maybe buttoned down or kept tucked etc). Wide bottom pants might be favored depending on how clawed everyone is in the non human au (firmly believe Lion claws on feet will shred up any pants that are tighter than regular fit or boot cut)

I always imagined the equivalent of low back pants with ribbons/ties to go over tails as the standard for day to day outfits for folks with tails

Backless stuff for the wingeds or those with back ridges and a not so small amount of tube top type of clothing for ease (depending on floof on shoulders and chest cause having hair etc stuffed under clothing is uncomfortable) or just sleeveless shirts with wide arms for some since there's probably plenty with ridges, feathers or spines or even wings on their arms and if you need something to keep your arms warm then you'd get the appropriate thing.

Fancier stuff is gonna have to be fitted and tailered

But that's just personal opinions and theories lol"

Which makes a lot of sense. Now as for something like a drider or a centaur, it will only be the human part covered. Something like bottoms would be too much effort to make and wear aside from something to just keep their junk covered.

Also, for things like shoes he once again added-

"The world is likely fairly catered to getting battered from foot traffic and having to tough out strong nonhumans. I imagine depending on the feet such as hooves they'd probably wear something like large booties (think those giant dog shoes etc) but with good sturdy layers. Sturdy rubber sole, stiff middle layer to help with support so that the rubber sole isn't worn down too quickly while added support plus a cushiony layer on the inside for comfort and to make sure the middle layer isn't crunched on from the weight.

I wonder if due to the difficulty of trying to cater to so many different body types there would be a greater variety of accessories but for functionality. Like spray on rubber for shoes if you need better traction (similar to spray on waterproofing you see in hardware stores and outdoors supply stores), ways to add straps (basically broad straps/sashes that can kinda button/pin to stuff if the clothes don't quite fit or have enough strap etc). Basically just way more ways to help things fit."

So yeah, the custom clothing business would be making big bucks since there would be a lot of different body types needing clothes.

My it sure is nice how, because I clearly tag things, tumblr has no problem with finding my old posts, isn’t it?

Sure is great when you want to return to an old topic, you can easily reference an older post, isn’t it?

Anyway, I was thinking about some of my favourite mobile suits recently, and more specifically how they fight.

The Sinanju and Sinanju Stein (strictly speaking that’s unit 2 above, but the Sinanju Stein Unit 1 only shows up physically once anyways, so I tend to conflate the two) from Universal Century, and the Gundams Bael and Zepar from Post Disaster. The Bael and Sinanju’s are thematically and functionally similar, if not so much visually, since they’re piloted by the series resident Char Clones, Full Frontal and Mcgillis Fareed respectively, and thus have a similar fighting style - high mobility and very flashy, typically dodging with minimal effort and taking out scores of foes near-effortlessly. The Sinanju Stein (Unit 2) certainly could fight like that, but its pilot Zoltan Akkanekan is…… not in a great place mentally, and as such he tends to be more brutish, always pushing the attack and closing ranks with his enemy very quickly (we only see him fight once in the Sinanju Stein before it docks with the Neo Zeong II, so it’s possible that his aggression is more due to the enemy being a Gundam, as opposed to any real strategy). The Gundam Zepar we have even less information on, but since we know both that it doesn’t have any ranged weaponry, and that most of the emphasis seems to be on the shield, we can guess it would want to get close fairly quickly, and would be well-prepared for a reprisal.

And this reminded me of something I mentioned previously when discussing non-Gundam Mecha series - I like when we know the “thesis” of the mecha. I like when we know why they were built and what the in-universe theory was in their construction (Or at the very least, we can guess, as with The Big O). It makes the world feel realer to me, and don’t get me wrong, I love giant robots, but it feels wonderfully cohesive when there’s an in-universe justification. I don’t typically forget the out-of-universe justification “to sell toys” but it feels less “Johnson, quarterly earnings aren’t looking good, make a property we can merchandise things out of” and more “Hey, this guy’s got an idea for a cool show about robots, maybe there’ll be a market for cool toys there?”.

Weird tangent on the relationship between entertainment and merchandising aside, I like Universal Century because it’s got a strong “thesis” - mobile suits were designed primarily as an anti-ship weapon that would engage at visual range, due to the effects of Minovsky particles rendering most long-range weapons difficult to aim. They’re fast, and carry handheld weaponry both for ease of use, maintenance and operability and they’re an extension of “armoured space suits”. There’s even the military angle of “a secret weapon to to win us the war against a foe that could beat us conventionally”, and I’d assumed that, with a few exceptions like Wing and G Gundam, most of Gundam followed that same thesis.

However, I realised that’s perhaps not quite true with Iron-Blooded Orphans (or at least it’d be interesting to consider why it might not be true). The above graph is an illustration of the breakdown of forces used in the calamity war, and how they were deployed depending on the field. Quote: The unit formation deployed against the mobile armors depended on where the battlefield was. On Earth and Mars, the Gundam Frames served as the main fighting units, and they destroyed the mobile armors one by one with assistance from other mobile suits and supporting units. In space, the Dáinsleifs were used as the main weapon, and were assisted by mobile suits, including Gundam Frames, and other supporting units. On the Moon, mobile suit teams like the one deployed on Earth and Mars were also used in addition to the aforementioned use of the Dáinsleif.

So I got to wondering if Post Disaster (or I guess Current Disaster) mobile suits had a different development ethos, since they were deployed largely terrestrially.

Mobile suits were only used during the Middle and Late stages of the war, which implies they were developed during it. The above Rodi and Hexa Frames were developed first, with the Gundam And Valkyrja Frames following in the later stages of the War. It’s also stated that, quote: The beginning of the Calamity War was the result of AI-equipped, self-sustaining weapon systems going out of control. Before the outbreak of the Calamity War, automated machinery was a symbol of wealth and abundance, and humans were actively promoting the automation of wars. With the risk of losing valuable soldiers reduced as the weapons were AI operated, and the introduction of the semi-permanent Ahab Reactor as a power source, mobile armors became the ideal weapon that can fight efficiently and persistently. So, it’s possible that after the Mobile Armours were unleashed, there was a rush to adapt previously autonomous weaponry into something human-controlled, with the Rodi and Hexa Frames representing these early steps. Furthermore, it’s stated that Mobile Armours acquired Nanolaminate Armour, so beam weaponry would presumably have been used in the early stages of the war.

So, could Mobile Suits in IBO be autonomous weaponry adapted for human use, as opposed to the Universal Century’s “Armoured Space Suits” line of thinking? We know that Alaya-Vijinana works best with forms closer to the human form - hence the Gundam Frames being constructed as close to the human form as possible. Another angle might be that of upsized Knights, here to slay the mechanical monsters that threaten humanity.

So it’s an interesting angle compared between the series - in one, mobile suits were built for wars in space, fought between nations. In the other, mobile suits were built to be used terrestrially, in response the threat of extinction by mechanical foes humanity unwittingly unleashed upon itself.

(Also, it’s interesting to look at how common mobile armours and automated weaponry were in the pre-post disaster setting, since I just imagine Treize Kushrenada from Gundam Wing being distinctly unhappy)

[sgushyonka]

Hi me with my silly rants again. Might be another one "on a surface" thing but hey

There are some fics and fanart that depict Peter always being super passive, and like some butterfly of a boy (idk how else to put it), forgetting that he actually killed a man, presumably due to creative differences. It's not all of them, obv, and I can understand why ppl would see him as such, but I believe there's another side that I'd like to see more (in my own work included lol)

My theory is that he's so used to Andrey being here for him for anything, be it support his projects or enable his bad habits, that he sometimes expects the same from other people. I actually think that he can get really manipulative and vindictive to ppl who disagree with his vision, perhaps fly into a rage much like Andrey in extreme cases, which is evident by what happened to Farkhad. I don't know how this story was told in the remake yet, but in classic he only blames himself, and it's only him that Saburov suspects, while Andrey doesn't comment on it (or at lest I don't remember him to), even tho the headstone says that it's from them both. However, by the time that the game begins, Peter is so deep into depression and addiction that whatever strong emotions he might have, they are more likely to be directed inside, rather than outwards

Internalized Ableism As Means For Unhoused Survival

We need to dissect the cultural context of homelessness as it relates to disability. I’ve spent most of my life unhoused, while also being a disabled person who didn’t have a clear understanding that I was disabled, and both of these experiences had huge impacts on my experiences of ableism, especially internalized.

It needs to be understood that it’s not always rooted in internalized ableism for someone to not identify as disabled, especially regarding physical disabilities. Including choosing to hide disability, pain, or weakness. It also includes choosing not to use mobility aids or other assistive devices that could, in theory, be helpful for their day-to-day life. Instead, they grit their teeth through the pain or find alternatives to manage. This is akin to (and may overlap with) autistic masking.

Being on the streets comes with a culture that allows for strength to often guarantee safety. The ability to physically defend yourself, carry your belongings, withstand harsh weather, use survival expertise, etc. are often necessary skills. Showing weakness is vulnerability. Vulnerability allows for situations where you are more likely to be targeted because attackers can recognize your difficulties and take advantage of them. This danger is amplified if you are a part of other marginalized groups.

When I was a young queer and trans person growing up on the streets, my homelessness was inextricably linked to those experiences. If I were to seem like I was disabled, I was putting myself in a more vulnerable position. Once I started using mobility aids on the streets, I experienced significantly more dangerous situations than I had before. I faced more direct physical violence and threats as a result of it. It wasn’t just me fearing that I might face judgment for being visibly disabled, it was that I was facing real-world repercussions, both within the unhoused and housed community. I was targeted by housed people frequently due to the inherent publicity of unhoused experiences.

Unhoused people spend significantly more time in public. As a currently unstably housed person, but housed nonetheless, I have the privilege of privacy for my pain. I can crawl in my apartment freely without anyone literally kicking me while I’m down. I can scream, I can sob, I can dissociate, I can do whatever I need to, with or without aids, and not face violence from the people around me.

I also have access to more supportive aids just by having housing. I now have in-home care attendants, something that was impossible without a home. I have a bed I can rest in at any time. I have a microwave for hot pads. I have a bathroom. I have electricity. I have food. These things were never guaranteed while unhoused and disabled. Unsurprisingly, I have significantly fewer emergency room trips, unmanageable flares, missed doctor appointments, etc. now that I have even unstable housing.

When you have more time in the public eye, there are more opportunities for facing ableism and houseism from the general populace. Those two experiences intertwined, and being chronically homeless, led to me having to navigate internalized ableism as a survival skill because there was a direct link to the ableism I faced daily.

Some disabled people on the streets, especially if they can’t hide their disability, feel more pressure to present themselves as inspiration porn. Inspiration porn panders to ableist narratives about disabled experiences, and can even give you an edge while panhandling. It also acts as a protective factor, there’s a mindset that if you’re not held back by disability, then you are not disabled. Thus, your disability cannot be exploited by others, and you are just as strong as a physically abled person. It’s something we do because we have to in order to survive, whether or not we’re conscious of the ableist narratives we’re feeding into.

There are times when I have to choose to do actions that are more harmful for me, such as presenting as more abled, for my immediate safety. I have to weigh the risks, and often, the risk of being attacked is far greater than the risk of falling, fainting, or being injured. This is not internalized ableism, it isn’t subconscious, it is for protection. Presenting as disabled is difficult enough, but when other marginalizations are added to it, it is exponentially more dangerous. Even more so than it is for me to not use aids or to not accept help at times.

If I wasn’t able to be recognized as disabled, I was granted more privileges akin to those my able-bodied peers automatically receive. If a bathroom wasn’t accessible for me, but I did my best with it instead of asking for accommodations (which is often seen as being picky, needy, or ungrateful) then I was more likely to be allowed to use that bathroom again. The same goes for couch surfing at a friend's house, needing to carry everything I own up three flights of stairs, if I didn’t mention that it was difficult for me or said no to help, then I was being a good guest by not making my hosts uncomfortable. Making concessions like this whenever I could gave me more access to safety.

When my disabilities became more serious, and I wasn't able to keep making concessions, I would fall in that bathroom, I would faint on the stairs, and I immediately was more unsafe. I couldn’t hide my disability anymore, the choice was taken from me. No amount of pandering to abled people would make me able to do those things anymore. For me, that felt like a personal failure. I had been told my whole life that I could and should push through my disabling symptoms and conditions, and I took that as fact. Not being able to do that was a heavy and horrifying feeling for me.

It’s taken years (and is an ongoing process) to find safe enough spaces where I can ask for help. Where I can freely use mobility aids, show my actual pain, wear braces, wear compression garments, cry, rest, and otherwise exist as my disabled self without being harmed. It’s taken equally as long (and is still ongoing) to find grace within myself and advocate for the accommodations I need and actually use them. I still struggle with the pressure to feed into inspiration porn, something that the cripple reclamation movement is focused on deconstructing. I struggle with accepting help, asking for help, or even looking like I might need help. But I also recognize that beautiful things can happen when I get what I need.

It heals internalized houseism to be dismantling my internalized ableism, and vice versa.

Unhoused disabled people are allowed to be weak. Unhoused disabled people are allowed to cry, to scream, to be in pain, to ask for help. Unhoused disabled people are allowed to be human, just like everyone else.

Ok so....

Attraction is weird for me.

Always has been but like rn I think i have three options how I can interpret how that works forme

1. I don't feel romantic attraction but do feel very strong friendship attraction or need for closeness and have interpreted that to be love.

2. I fall in love with nearly everyone I get to know in a friendship type of way.

3. I can't separate friendship attraction from romantic attraction or the other way around.

I'm like seriously unsure what it is.

In favour of theory 1:

I don't 'love'

The way I've experienced what I call love is different from how others feel it.

It's not as long or intense in certain ways.

I've not really found I can relate to the feeling of love people described. I get the need for intimacy. The need for trust and closeness. And the intense feeling of comfort in that. But like.... I don't feel like it's anything more than that? And I always got the impression people feel love as something more than that.

The thing is I have a suspicion I might have termed a different feeling as love than other people feel.

Mainly because I feel that what I describe as love is fundamentally different from how others feel it.

I however can't be sure if that's actually the case or if I'm just overthinking.

In favour of theory 2:

I love everyone

To be honest this is in my opinion the least likely. But still to be considered.

What if I just fall in love really easily?

It could just be that I fall in love so often and easily I conflate iit with friendship due to its frequency and ease.

Another point in favour of that is that I 'fall in love' again and again and for sometimes very simple reasons.

I might just easily develop these feelings.

In favour of theory 3:

What is love?

This is the theory I've put the most thought into.

Because what if I just can't differentiate between love and friendship?

What if it is just like one and the same to me?

Because with every person I've had a deeper friendship with I felt some desire to have a deeper connection than social norms allow. Do things that would usually be put into the category of things that would express romantic interest.

So maybe that's just part of friendship for me? To love?

Because the opposite is definitely true. Because love without friendship is definitely impossible for me at least.

So maybe it's just that the inverse is also true because both are the same for me or at least I can't separate them..

Conclusions and ramblings

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG

I'm sorry I had to let that out....

To be honest I think the most likely case is a mix of theory 1 and 2 or maybe some sort of state that won't let me separate between one and the other.

That would also support why I don't really have an internal understanding of why certain things are reserved to 'friendship' or 'romance'.

The easiest example is sex. Like if not for social conventions I can't like images a reason for at least talking about having sex with each other in basically every slightly deeper friendship I had.

Not like all the time or regularly but like why doesn't that happen? I don't understand that! Like I do but more on an intellectual level.

I just feel like the categories of love and friendship are kinda imprinted from the outside and don't really originate from my inside.

The only reason I adhere is due to the fear of being socially excluded due to not conforming.

But like aside from sexual stuff because I don't like conflating sex with closeness there are others things...

Like what is the level of closeness in other areas that would differentiate love and friendship?

I don't see a line there tbh.

Also as for a feeling of romantic attraction? I... I'm not sure? Either I don't have it and just call my nonromantic attraction that because I have a higher need for social closeness or I just feel it for basically anyone.

All in all I think I'll keep using the term love as a shorthand for a certain subset of feelings of trust and safety. I might even expand for what I use it. But I honestly don't think I experience love In the traditional sense I think.

• What plot points would change due to the inclusion of your character in canon?

• What headcanons/theories do you believe fandom would invent about your character?

• What feelings does your character most often instill in their fans? Affection? A desire to protect? Open lust? A love/hate dynamic? Why do you think their fans feel this way?

• How does fandom characterize/mischaracterize your characters ship in fanworks?

• What is the quote between your character and their love interest/whoever they might be shipped with that their fans would latch onto?

I know this is a lot, but for Kana  & or Kurumi,   😭

Thank you for sending this Jojo!!! I don't mind being sent a lot of OC asks, don't worry hehehe (I can just get very slow jdsbfhsdvfhsdf like right now with this one ueueueue) I love yapping about my bebeghurls the most 🫶🥰💖✨😆🤣

What plot points would change due to the inclusion of your character in canon?

I already mentioned some here but here's more for you 🫶🫶🫶

With Kurumi's inclusion:

Tsuna gets to have another friend and support added to his circle 🥹✨(well maybe I should say two friends, because Kurumi usually has Yui in tow with her)

Lambo gets to have another onee-chan too! Their dynamic is very funny and cute.

She'll often be seen as a trio with Kyoko and Haru. I guess the perceived love triangle(?) with Tsuna at the center may upgrade to a some kind of love square lmao

With Kana's inclusion:

Tsuna, Lambo and Mukuro get to have another person beefing against them. Thankfully, Tsuna and Lambo are both under Kurumi's divine protection.

Hibari and Gokudera get to have another person they can beef against. There will be a new committee as well.

Yamamoto successfully wins over and befriends another swordsman who will train him. It's a W that he deserves.

What headcanons/theories do you believe fandom would invent about your character?

Kurumi:

Because she's a "good" character, I feel like it's only natural that there will be people with headcanons or theories that depict her as the opposite.

Another reasonable fandom theory I can think of is that her character will develop into someone similar to Rinko (her 1st Generation equivalent).

Kana:

There will be theories that Kana will either go through character development (into a better person) or character regression (into a worse person) as we progress through the story. There will also be arguments that it's a death flag if she goes and develops into a better person.

There will be people making headcanons that since Kurumi is shit at cooking, then maybe the opposite is true for Kana.

KanaRumi: I have a theory for the shipping fandom in general as well, derived from an amusing thing I read from a shoujo-series fandom I can't remember right now. They'll be forced to romantically ship Kana with the nearest character they can personally ship her with to fight off the incest shippers 🤣😭🤣😭 jdsfbhsdvfsh Sorry, both Sou and I have been in the Gen/shin fandom (and other various ones b4 that), and we both agree that if KHRe had a fandom, there would be this small subset of romantic shippers for the twins 🗿🗿🗿🗿

What feelings does your character most often instill in their fans? Affection? A desire to protect? Open lust? A love/hate dynamic? Why do you think their fans feel this way?

Kurumi: For Kurumi, I feel like there will be a lot of people who will feel affection for her. This is because I think a good amount of people may even see her as someone relatable, because of her efforts and struggles with expressing herself. Another would be a desire to protect her, even if they know that Kurumi is strong.

Kana: I can see a love/hate dynamic for this one. I feel like she's the type of character who will both have dedicated fans (who may woobify her too much) and dedicated haters (who may vilify her too much). There will be a lot of discourse related to her. TsunaRumi shippers might feel frustrated with her for always trying to cockblock their ship, while TsunaRumi antis celebrate her as their champion.

How does fandom characterize/mischaracterize your characters ship in fanworks?

Kurumi: In terms of ships, I feel like there would be depictions of her having this intense & bitter rivalry vs the other characters Tsuna is shipped with. But the truth is that her biggest enemy & rival is own self and personal struggles sjdvfhsdvg

Kana: I already answered for her here!

With the modern fandom environment right now, I feel like there would be way less of those "hating on a fem character because they're in the way of their ship" type of problem. Especially since the twins' genders are pretty vague (esp Kana with masc clothes) and they run the risk of being one of those people that would often be listed in DNIs shfshvfgsdvf I feel like they're more likely to just treat the "third-wheel" fem character as an accessory now, from what I've observed.

What is the quote between your character and their love interest/whoever they might be shipped with that their fans would latch onto?

I just realized the question didn't specify whether it's "latching onto (happily and excitedly, we're so back!)" or "latching onto (despairingly, it's joever...)" or "latching onto (in copium/hopium)". Suddenly, I have a few more lines I can think of on the spot (not a guarantee it will be in the story but still--- hehehe)

Kurumi: "I'm sorry...You're so bright sometimes, I just couldn't face you"

Kana: I already answered here! But another one I can think of is: "It's almost impressive...to be able to follow me even to this place. But this really is the end of the line."

MHA Yandere Quirk Ideas

To preface this I'm not really into yandere stuff and such haven't explored it enough to know more than the bare bone basics. That being said I Am into quirks, and after getting inspired by @dystopyx-blog and @evilminji and their stuff decided to throw out ideas. It's not nearly as polished as my traditional quirk analysis but it's Something and I just haven't had the motivation to do something refined. So with that out of the way, Ideas

Aizawa: https://www.tumblr.com/threepandas/753060246354903040/exactly-if-youre-scary-hurting-your-target?source=share  (I already did a bit of this guy with Minji and there's more quirk based stuff hidden in another reblog chain)

Midoriya (It’s actually Inko but shush)- Not gonna touch OFA with a 10 foot pole but Midoriya himself is actually pretty interesting. They don’t have a natural quirk of their own, so what Is there acts as very convenient support for many of my theories surrounding vestigial quirks and quirk inheritance patterns (namely the fact they tend to follow the mothers line and quirks are a blend of the biological and magical, rather than being a stark divide). So what does this mean? Any sorta obsessive tendencies would be entirely unexpected in him!

Quirks have a major impact on their hosts biology, ranging from the physical to the mental to the near magical. Add to that their lingering changes passing on from one generation to the next, even when the actual quirk has long changed beyond recognition, and you have an Interesting mix. 

Midoriya (in this case) displays obsessive tendencies and other behaviors that leave him firmly in Yandere territory, but where oh where could he get that from? It honestly could be due to upbringing, he DID spend the vast majority of his developmental period in life heavily bullied and socially isolated which is bound to have Some sort of effect on him, but my bet is Inko. 

See, Inko has a mental quirk, something that is bound to have a major impact on her psychology. And while we never get to see much of her life, what we do know is that she loved Midoriya with all her heart and only really put her foot down for anything when he got seriously injured multiple times with little done to change that. We also see that she’s Very emotional, managing to literally worry herself into passing out during the sports festival MULTIPLE TIMES. That in itself is enough to give her the base to build yandere characteristics off of but on top of that she tries to keep all her known friends together (we only have Mitsuki as an example here, but she stayed close enough for Midoryia and Bakugo to end up with a strong enough foundation of a friendship to have their weird ass dynamic survive all the way to high school) and her husband “went overseas”. Now he very well might have, but we never do figure out MHA’s living wage to average wage ratio or how child support and potential tax exemptions due to children work (damn you Horikoshi) so Inko could very well be supporting Midoriya on just her wage, especially since production costs probably go way down with the introduction of quirks and potential tech advancement (particularly in building costs and how that might transfer over to cheaper rent). And failing that she could very well be utilizing a portion of some sort of life insurance or inheritance. That of course does lead to the question of WHY  Inko might have disposed of her husband, but there’s plenty of possible reasons for that. Top ones I can think of is how quirks tend to relate to personalities in some way (clarification at the end of Midoryias section), and a fire quirk would be particularly dangerous. Fear for Midoriya's safety due to his quirkless status and Hisashi’s theoretical anger issues. Or maybe Midoryia didn’t factor in at all and rather Hisashi’s quirk was a super dangerous mix with Bakugos when his quirk first came in. Hisashi would’ve posed a serious threat to her friends kids safety just by Existing near him (assuming some sort of passive or unintentional activation, like sparks).

So, Inko matches enough boxes to be a yandere! Happy days, but what about Midoriya? Well, I might’ve forgotten about him but pretty much everything we went over with Inko could carry over to Midoryia. Obsessed with friends, inherited mutations to the brain (heavily supported by his seemingly super high intelligence, analysis, and anxiety seeming to mostly match Inko, meaning it could have ties to her quirk and the supporting mutations it came with and passed down), a willingness to endanger lives for the sake of friends (USJ, Kamino, debatably Overhaul and Gentle/La Brava), and overly emotional. Enough on its own, but added to that are the more behavioral things that likely only popped up in him (or simply weren’t shown in Inko’s screen time). Stuff like his analytical abilities (supported by his obsessive behavior), willingness to put up with far too much for the sake of friendship, and attachment issues stemming from the previously mentioned social isolation (interestingly NOT translating over to being touchy feely, as that usually gets initiated by someone else instead and seems to leave him uncomfortable, though that could be due to the instinctual connections to Bakugo’s bullying and turn right around once he’s comfortable enough with someone, something I think is shown with his willingness to hug Inko whenever possible, though my memory is spotty there).

So yeah, I don’t know enough about yandere stuff to know what that all actually builds into, but I leave it to you, like a cat leaving a dead bird at the doorstep.

For clarification on quirks impacting personalities I actually think that, outside of a few exceptions like Bakugo, this has more to do with societal expectations than biology. Now mutations could definitely play a role, such as increasing adrenaline production or heightened senses leading to sensory overload, but growing up being expected and forgiven for being mad all the time because you have a fire quirk, and then being met with confusion and hesitancy when you move out of that stereotype, is a great way to raise a child/young adult to meet every emotion and interaction with anger.

Ashido: The tail end of a mutant line (clarification is worth a whole post, but basically she has an ancestor who was a mutant, which has an influence on her quirk) that I suspect was based on some sort of horned lizard based on the horns, acid secretion, black sclera, and very loosely her hair acting kinda like a crest, making her appear larger in a way very reminiscent of horned lizards spikes around their head (her pink skin actually isn’t a mutation, but instead a sort of stain from a reaction her acid has on her skin, though some horned lizards do have minor control over their coloration that could be tied to that). Many of the base mutations in the original lizard quirk are likely long gone but some relevant ones may remain. Stuff like their burrowing habits (translating over to blanket forts and digging under the covers in Ashido), more meat based diet, ambush hunting strategy, and preference for warm places.

Asui: While not a “pure mutant” Asui still has TONS of frog behaviors and that’s likely to leak through in any sort of yandere situation. Unfortunately I never did manage to narrow down what frog species she’s closest too, but she’s pretty similar to Ashido with some standard stuff like ambush predator instincts, preference for warm environments, meat based diet, and potentially even the burrowing instincts. Less like Ashido would be the strong desire for water/humidity, potential climbing habits, occasional loud vocalizations (though I think that actually was greatly diminished when being passed on, being the source of her “ribbit” at the end of sentences rather than a loud croak), and shy behavior that turns into intense aggression when jealous (though that last one may be applicable to horned lizards, it’s not nearly to the same degree. Frogs are vicious man). Added to all the biology is the more societal impacts on Asui, with many mutants being discriminated against (especially one as noticeable as her), made worse by any lingering prey instincts potentially flaring up around other mutants. Not nearly as intense as Midoryias situation but still very isolating. This is made worse by the lack of accessibility for mutants (they’re very accommodated for in UA, but any scenes outside show a very baseline human centric design, something made note of in the Vigilantes spin off series, though admittedly that was focused on large mutants), so who knows what was expected of her growing up both physically and mentally. Girl is accidental autistic representation with how much masking she likely had to learn, and still comes off as off putting and blunt (it’s entirely possible she IS in fact autistic, but we don’t get enough screen time to make any proper conclusions there)

Iida: Very little to work with quirk wise here outside of some minor mutations to the brain's processing speed during quirk use and maybe some slightly higher spatial awareness, but Iida’s far from a lost cause. He grew up VERY restrained, only ever really showing strong emotions when (failing to) reinforcing rules, panicking, or driven over the edge by Stain. Considering how he never seemed to speak with anyone about his feelings about Stain and the constant comparisons to a robot as a kid (shown in Vigilantes) it’s not a stretch to assume that any intense feelings would be buried and ignored until they built up and he had no choice but to address them. This would be made even worse thanks to the fact he grew up very upper class and has likely made his “role” his whole being. Being forced to confront the fact he’s not a 2 dimensional being who follows every rule perfectly and doesn’t have any unsightly emotions is gonna be *rough*. Especially since the only other time this has happened was with Stain, which is a whole other can of worms.

Uraraka: Million ways to interpret her quirk but there’s a good chance for mental mutations that were originally meant for supporting her higher spatial awareness but led to her wanting her people around her, not to mention any other unintended consequences messing with brain development might have. Also worth pointing out she doesn’t seem to have many friends in canon, only being particularly close to Midoryia, Iida, and debatably Asui and Ashido. No one she knew before coming to UA. Add to that her focus on making money and it’s entirely likely she grew up fairly lonely, spending her free time working or training instead of hanging out with friends (somewhat supported by her rather large quirk limits, even at the entrance exam. Some possibility she has a desire to touch stuff thanks to her quirk, explaining why she’s usually the one to initiate hugs and whatnot. This would potentially be made worse if touch based quirks are discouraged from touching people (very shakily supported at right before the entrance exam when she apologizes for using her quirk on Midoriya, despite just saving him from falling) and her hypothetical lonely lifestyle pre-UA leaving her somewhat touch starved

Other notable students I considered doing but lost the momentum to do were Yaoyorozu, Kaminari, Todoroki, Bakugo, Hagakure, and Shinso (Mineta would've been super easy but no, just no)

[maegorsbignaturals]

whos your ideal pairing with maegor?

OMG MY FIRST ASK THANKS!!

WEll, tbh i don't have an "ideal pairing" with Maegor. I like every relationship of his in a certain level bcs they are all so fucked up in different ways

Ceryse and Maegor it is a relationship that i haven't seen have an in deep analysis, but it sure is the root of his pyschosexual trauma with sex and having heirs. Considering that when they were married, he was 13 and she was in her early twenties. Still a child even for Westerosis standars. He took high pride into "conceveing a child" that night with his New wife (once again, an adult woman that doubled him in age) and failing... That surely had to affected him in a way that would Mark him for the rest of his life. He was a child who began his sexual life so early... Also, i cannot stop wondering what Ceryse might have felt in all that situation.

Alys and Maegor are so UGGGHHH. I think that they DID have a honeymoon phase. Maybe, for the Harroways, it was like a pure moment of luck when Maegor visited Harrnehall, and Lord Harroway (Srry baby Alys, i forgot your father's name) took the perfect chance and sneaked his daughter into Maegor's bed. And even convincing her that, of course she wanted to be part of the Targaryen family and wife of the Hand of the king, and, who knows? Maybe even Queen. The two became infatuated with eachother. Maegor was not willing to let go a woman who was so willing to marry him and bare his children and Alys was neither willing to let go the man who could elevate her house status, and that infatuation was so strong that they even accepted the exile!

Tyanna and Maegor!! Oh my god, what can i say about Tyanna and Maegor that it had not been said alredy? They surely were close to each other, to the point Maegor fully believed him when she accused Alys of cheating on Maegor. He followed her advise and trusted her, she helped him after his injury on the head, and even supported him when he took the decision to take three New wives. Perhaps she tought that she was safe as Maegor trusted her so much, that she was safe from Maegor's brutality. She was the woman that had most power over Maegor (after Visenya), so it was possible that she was poisoning Maegor's other wives too, but that doesn't explain why she never ended pregnant. As Mother of Maegor's children, that would surely cement her over his other wives and put her in the position of THE QUEEN, not Maegor's third wive. Her lack of pregnancies makes me believe that, after all, Ceryse was not the barren one in here, hmmmm

Elinor Costayne and Maegor, oh, ELINOR AND MAEGOR!!!! I love their dynamic! And i love every single theory about Maegor's death. She killing him with the help of the kingsguard? Oh, amazing, wonderful! Her finding her husband killed by someone else that was not her!?!? SWEET MOTHER OF MINE!!! HER FINDING HIS OWN HUSBAND THAT JUST KILLED HIMSELF DUE TO ALL HIS DEEDS?!?!? ALMIGHTY GOD IN THE SKIES!!!

And the Last one the Aenys-Maegor-Rhaena. They are like the proto Viserys-Daemon-Rhaenyra, and i can see it! Yet, i can't see Maegor and Aenys being as close as Daemon and Viserys or the grooming that Daemon inflicted upon Rhaenyra happening with Maegor and Rhaena. As i said, they do hold similarities, but the Aenys-Maegor-Rhaena relationship doesn't hold the same strenght and obsession as the other. The potencial is there, i just can't see it.

Thanks for your question, anon!!!

[welcome-to-oslov]

So, we all know actually-helpful therapy doesn't really exist in Oslov (that was such a great chapter when he was sent to one!). We've also seen the things he's healed a bit & struggled to come to terms with things over the years, both early in his post-kettleboy era and later in life.

If Tilrey *could* have accessed real therapy at some point in time (now? While he's living with Gersha? When he's set free? Older? Now that Oslov is free?), I'm wondering:

What feelings/trauma do you think he would struggle most with allowing himself to think about/work on?

What things do you think he could've healed much better or faster if he'd had skilled help? What kind of therapy/therapist do you think he could've felt safest with to let himself be free to heal?

This is a great question! I wish I were better qualified to know what kind of therapy really would help Tilrey.

I think he would struggle most with accessing and coming to terms with his past self—the naive teenager who was thrust into this situation and had no idea what to do. Who truly believed that things like this couldn’t happen to someone like him. Who struggled, protested, cried. Over the years, Tilrey has shut himself off from younger Tilrey. He’s created a fiction of his own strength, toughness, and resilience that has served him for decades. Of course it’s not purely a fiction. Those qualities are also him. But underneath somewhere still is that frightened boy, and he affects Tilrey’s behavior in ways Tilrey might not even recognize till after the fact. He makes it much harder to trust or love or have hope for the future.

I think Tilrey needs to learn to love his past self and forgive the younger him for how he reacted in the moment to a situation he couldn’t handle. And it’s not just a question of loving the past self enough so it stops bothering him. He needs to be there for it always, to accept that he carries that inner weakness and grief with him and it’s okay, he can still also be strong.

I don’t remember the therapy term for this—“parts theory” maybe, something like that? But I’m not sure how much Tilrey would benefit from talk therapy. In any one-on-one situation with an authority or expert, he will revert to his kettle boy training and tell them what he thinks they want to hear. A therapist who could call him out on his deference might be good. His role-playing with Einara kind of worked similarly, even if she wasn’t doing it for his benefit. She kept triggering his deference/submission responses while also challenging him on why he was responding that way. But she couldn’t teach him to love his past self, because she hasn’t learned that lesson herself.

Given that Einara helped him to some extent, I think Tilrey might like some kind of peer support group where he could talk to people who had gone through similar things. Even better, he could lead the group, which would make him feel like he was still being strong and helping others. I can see such groups forming in the Brothel, or whatever they end up calling it post-revolution, for sex workers who were exploited and now can choose whether to continue to do that work on their own terms. Tilrey would hear so many stories, some like his and others different, and in the process he might develop a new respect for his younger self who coped with an impossible situation in the only ways he knew how. 😢

I honestly never thought technocratic “meritocracy” (never truly based on merit) would be a possibility in my lifetime. But now that it is (maybe?) happening, I’m all the more aware of what that mentality does to everyone who is labeled lesser because of a test score or an accident of birth. When you’re trained to think your misfortune or oppression is always due to a lack of personal merit, you turn all the righteous anger on yourself, and Tilrey is exhibit A. (I think Bror is better off because his family didn’t absorb this Upstart mentality.) So anyway, sorry to get briefly political, but yeah, perfectionism is a destructive creed.

[hamilvette]

Nobody asked (me) for this, but here I come with my two cents:

Hot take: I don't think King Magnifico would be too thrilled about the idea of having children.

Like, hear me out! I know we would like to think he's so kind and loving and everything, and if you have him with an OC or even with Amaya, we all would like to think of them as they'll have a happy merrier life, but let's be real: I don't think he'd have the goal of having children, and there are A LOT of approaches to that.

The first one, and just for our dearest Magnífico supporters/defenders: his trauma (hahaha)

He would be so terrified of the idea of having children and for them to meet the same destiny he did of losing their family and home, so he wouldn't be too thrilled or even take seriously the idea of having a kid.

As well, he will probably have a ton of nightmares about losing either his partner or the child. Like, this man has such a strong fear of being alone and would like to have control of things, but ofc some things are out of his control.

If parent 2 has female characteristics (sorry, I'm not native in English so I don't know how to get my point here, but I'm referring to if they can have children biologically), Magnífico would absolutely be scared of them getting sick or hurt due to the pregnancy itself. And let's not even begin with childbirth.

Now, to the points I actually wanted to make: why wouldn't Magnífico, personally, wouldn't want kids:

As much as I love him, he's a (slight) narcissist. Ofc he knows he wouldn't live forever (unless the theories of him being already ancient and having extended his lifetime with magic are true) and that he need a heir to keep on with Rosas, and wouldn't absolutely trust anyone to that task, unless he gets to shape said someone.

Which would mean that he could be quite controlling with his child. I'm not sure if he would be either overprotective or just compare himself with the kid sometimes. That typical (narcissistic) parent discourse of: at your age I already knew how to do this and I did that. Blah blah, you get the idea. He wants that child to be good, but might be afraid it's better than him.

I'm also thinking he would also get slightly annoyed at times with the idea of not being the center of attention. Like, he likes granting wishes not only for how kindly he looks at the wishes, but also for the attention, he loves being in the spotlight.

He feels seen and loved by being king, so giving up that feeling would make him feel strange and unsure. He'll probs would have a midlife crisis not knowing what his role would be anymore after making one of his children the new ruler of Rosas, lol.

And probably would be slightly annoyed at times of having to share the attention of his partner with the child. He loves them dearly, but would probably get annoyed that a child requires so much help (cuz for his own trauma, he had to do everything on his own for quite a long time ago, and he would struggle to realise not everyone can and neither should).

Also, him being a slightly narcissistic parent would be such a sh*t show. Like, wow. He obviously wouldn't do it like actually meaning to hurt the child, but his expectations would absolutely be astronomical.

And let's be real: Magnífico isn't the most patient of people. He has, in fact, a lot of patience to spare but everyone has a limit, and a baby requires such a ton of patience. And let's not even begin with a toddler or a teenager.

I can already picture him having a lot of disagreements and heated discussions with his child about the wish system like Asha and Magnífico should've had, and Magnífico would snap at them, even if then regrets it. Parent 2 will have to be the absolute mediator in between them like forever.

Probs Magnífico would be a harsh parent. Not a bad one, but he will have high expectations and rules for his children. I'm picturing him to be like King Triton, so...

CHRIST. I KNOW I MADE HIM LOOK LIKE AN AWFUL PARENT, BUT I DON'T THINK HE'LL BE. IM SURE HE'LL ALWAYS TRY TO DO HIS BEST, ALWAYS! But no parent is perfect, sadly. 😩

I could also make the other side of the coin: what things Magnífico would be thrilled about having a child, but in another time lol.

[mydisasteracademia]

I spend a lot of time harping on the disappointing and frustrating aspects of MHA, so I'd like to change gears and talk about some specific positives for me:

- Ida, Todoroki, and Izuku's friendship during and post Stain Arc. The way those three stuck together was just awesome, and we got the legitimately funny 'Hand Crusher' moment.

- Eri being 100% ride or die for Izuku. I'm not a fan of Eri (specifically her writing), but seeing her going so hard for Izuku in the light novels were the ONLY bearable moments for me.

- Kota becoming an Izuku fanboy and apologizing for how he acted towards him, specifically how he ran up to hug Izuku after the Dark Izuku Arc.

- All Might and Inko owning up to their mistakes and working to make up for them.

- The audience legitimately cheering for Sero after his match with Todoroki during the Sports Festival, seeing as how unfairly matched up they were.

- The OFA vestiges (for the most part) being genuinely kind and helpful towards Izuku, gently encouraging him to rest and not push himself during the Dark Izuku Arc

- Dark Shadow absolutely loving Izuku and being so gentle with him during 1A vs Izuku 🥺

- Aizawa FINALLY realizing how unfair and awful he'd been towards Izuku during the PLF War, specifically after hearing Izuku stand up for him

- AFO in Kamino Ward was badass. Enough said.

- Dadmight and Izuku. No other words needed.

- Ida comforting and reassuring Izuku that he'd always be there to help him during 1A vs Izuku.

- Endeavor actually realizing how awful he was towards his family, and Natsuo and Shoto being more or less allowed to feel conflicted/resentful of him.

Those are all very nice moments, I do have to say. I agree wholeheartedly with all of them.

Adding to that list, I love how the girls support each other. It’s such a good group dynamic and I love that despite their differences they all look out for each other and their friendship is strong.

I may criticize the plotline as a whole, but I do like that instead of turning on the Yuuei traitor they understood the traitor’s situation and promised to help the traitor with their issues. It was honestly really heartwarming.

I love Kaminari, Sero, and Kirishima’s adorkable friendship. They’re all so goofy together!

I love seeing Kirishima and Tetsutetsu’s bonding moment during the Sports Festival. Kiri definitely needed another friend and branching the gap between the (at the time) nebulous 1-B and our 1-A was really nice. (Plus the separated at birth theory makes me laugh. Too many coincidences! Get the string board!)

Eri SMILING and finally acting like a kid during 1-A’s musical number at the Culture Festival and making Mirio cry? That hit me right in the feels.

Speaking of Mirio, I love his friendship with Midoriya. He is the exact kind of friend he needed and he’s so goofy he makes me smile whenever we see him. The Big Three are honestly one of the better parts of the Academia part of the manga/anime.

This is a bit of a petty moment, but I’m petty and it makes me laugh: Overhaul’s whole cameo in the Lady Nagant arc. I personally despise him so seeing him so disheveled and bewildered all of the time gives me joy.

I LOVED Shuichi/Spinner’s loyalty/friendship with Shigaraki. He is such a ride or die friend and it made me smile every time he mentioned how much he was willing to do just to save him. It reminds me of how dedicated Iida/Todoroki were to save Midoriya from himself and it hits home that they’re effective foils of each other.

And of course, Uraraka and Midoriya’s bond is one of my favorite parts. Not only are they both super cute/adorkable, but they care about each other SO MUCH and it HEALS me to see them showing that.

There’s just so much good and while it frustrates me a lot due to the wasted potential I just can’t hate it, y’know? Not when there’s so many good parts to come back to.

[lxver-gal]

you know what fuck it ima make my own fankids of TD.

yeah tw question mark?

let’s start off strong with the divorced nemma.

they have a kid named Ezra, but due to the fact that they are divorced, it’s 50/50 custody.

Noah would be either a college professor and teach coding for video games or make a video game and I only say this because isn’t it confirmed his first job at 6 was to code or is that just a theory. CORRECT ME I BEG!!

Emma would be lawyer, but she would also work with Courtney in the law system. You can’t convince me that they both sued Total Drama and Emma lied about not knowing Courtney and that there will be no bias but there sure as hell was 😭🙏.

Anywyas uh that’s just how they are now, nows for some things about them

Emma: straight woman, but she’s very supported of the community. She would definitely remarry to man with kids so she can be a step mom for no reason. She just thought it sounded cool (?). But she wouldn’t be a deadbeat, she would pay her share of child support and her and Noah would be on very good terms, I mean Noah would randomly text her “I’m bored wanna shit talk someone.” And they will. I don’t think the divorce would be very effective towards them, but I heavily believe that at first it was.

Noah’s ass would be diagnosed with whatever he has, autism and possible something else. His jobs (if he’s a professor) is really just him yapping about something he likes. But i might run a poll onto which one and rewrite his. But if he’s a game developer I could see him yapping to his helpers and artist and stuff about very specific details and hex codes he wants. He didn’t take the divorce well at first and was just a drunk until he seeked out help, aka team e-scope, therapy, Owen, and possibly Cody (Noco we trust!!) he’s fine now :3!

Ezra is just that one emo/gay cousin. I really think nemma would have a trans son and fight me but you can’t. He would be gay and a trans male, he would take after Emma with the navy blue hair but skin tone and looks is really just a mix. Does he sound like he would have piercings or am I INSANE. He would just be that one guys that either on something or onto something. Idk he seems silly.

CODY AND HIS DAUGHTER TIME RAAAAA.

Okay so now this is an AU jst bc of half the kids ima write about. the drama brother lasted until they were all in TD to When they were early adults so 23-24.

Cody’s daughter would be a past relationship during the time he was in the drama brothers and since his type was emos, it would be an emo or a girl under that category. He ended up getting the girl pregnant and since the drama brothers were still a thing, she left the kids life when she was born. His daughter’s name would be something cool like Citra or something like that. But despite this. He never understood why his ex did what she did but he didn’t judge he had a cool ass kid. I feel like his daughter would’ve grown up with the drama brothers even after They disbanded. The band would still be in touch and if you say “but-but Justin!” No Justin would be flexing his child aswell and stuff like that or who he’s modeling for.

anyways jobs and stuff.

Cody would be that white bisexual guy, and he only figured by being a hopeless romantic for a guy. He gives off the “I used to be on tv and in a band does that count for experience ?” On a job application for Walmart or something. There’s nothing more to say. He looks like he will blast music and sing just to make people loud, and is always first in karaoke. Him and the band meet up but it’s more of a reunion each time because they do just dance and shit like that.

his daughter would be named Citra because I have no name rn for her so! She would be mixed, as in like “my dad white but my mom was Dominican.” She would love to cook and let Cody do the baking, due to his sugar tooth she has diabetes because it sadly genetic. So she can’t bake anything even if she wanted too. Would have ever drama brothers song memorized because the drama brothers always have thier kids at the reunion and they will at some points start singing their songs. A little lesbian in denial, knows electric guitar :3! She would be like a dark pastel or like the early 2000s cunt style.

Noah and Cody would meet and start dating and Noah would refer to him as “this rich white man” then “maybe my future husband.”

should I do more these seem booty cheeks.

[lotusofhope]

it has been really sad that my journey into being Jewish and my cultural heritage has been so disjarred by Israel. I want more and more to do research into the schools of early Zionism, and especially anti-Zionists.

Early Zionism and anti-Zionism was so different than it is today... I mean you might as well as talk of Zionism as being a colony on the moon as an early theory - even early rabid Zionists believed they could live among indigenous peoples and raise the common good among Jews and Gentiles in Israel. Early criticism of Zionism talked mostly about learning to adjust and live in greater European society and integrate successfully... And it is not the case that that exactly worked out. Yet other minority groups have had no choice but to do so, even among populations that enslaved them. Escaping to an Ethnostate of Zionism supported by global Imperialistic powers is impossible for every other persecuted group to even imagine.

The anti-Zionism I really want to research is the time around '67, or when Einstein distanced himself from Israel...

Zionists wasn't inheritely a supremacist, right wing concept. But in practice, it had to be due to how the concept had to be implemented. And maitenence of Zionism and Jewish culture in Israel has only enshrined it further into fascism and supremacy.

Yet I strongly desire to connect to Jews throughout history before 1948, 1967... The groups that withstood so much and stood so strong despite everything, and who weren't co-opted by antisemitic european interests and power...

[seonghwacore]

im about to go apeshit about the house burning scene and its possible symbolism, it punched my gut a lil too strong. dont wanna call this a theory, more like a review. but here's what i find. long ass shit btw.

what are they looking at?

i remember its mingi's scene first before yunho but that mingi's looking up and yunho's looking down, despite the lack of logic behind the torn down house and their respective set being burned altogether. i honestly thought the torn down house was the symbol of their "safe space" when they were beaten and broken by life, cus you know house is often associated with safety. but before it's burned it's already in a shabby state and was looking indecent, fragile.

meaning that the stigmatized "safe space" was probably not that "safe". being on their own and hiding their pain or anger alone might seem to be the best choice but was doing more harm than repair. so when yunho burned it, (i assume this cus he was looking at mingi in thAt scene, as if affirming.)

and in the lyrics itself theres yunho's line about "wanting to be the pouring light" and wanting to lean his head and rest his heart and hoping that mingi would look at him with a happy face. it just all fit in the pics. yunho looking down at him with a rather helpless look but mingi's slightly... hopeful to me?? curious?? as "the light" poured on him, his best friend.

yunho's like "i burn this house for us, for you. because you cant seem to find the beauty in your life and let this loneliness gnaw you instead. and i want you to know that youre also my pillar so, why dont we rely on each other instead of eating our own struggle? let's enjoy the present [time] together."

then mingi realizes yunho values him and embraces his flaws. in the uncertain time of youth when everything feels unforgiving, his best friend knows his struggle and tries to shed some light on him despite being flawed himself. notice that yunho's beaten as well, scarred and jagged, angry and sad. basically what this wants to say is to be the light to others l, you don't have to be a saint. just a willingness to walk, run, or sit together with them in all weathers.

while the first interpretation is written because i saw a visual parallel(?) between mingi's one and yunho's, this one might be more canon. they're looking either at the fire or their new selves outside burning the house, meaning their new selves are getting rid of their past doubts and struggle and choose to move forward. and there's a relief in their pained faces, as if they're finally being put to rest. like, "finally."

and then there's yunho asking for a validation from mingi? since he burned his "safe" haven cause he thought it's the only right thing to do? but also, was he feeling apologetic?

but mingi's unshaken, rather cold about the burning house. there's also a hint of longing due to a familiar place being taken away from him. maybe it's the best decision. and at the end, he only exchanged a look at yunho, like "now what?"

—supporting analysis

this might be the picture of what mingi felt like going through his youth. the running scenes take 3 parts of the mv: the beginning, the middle, the end. this one's in the middle when mingi realizes yunho isnt following him. sometimes, in your youth days, you'll be aware of your friend's existence and their personal life.

mingi might think that yunho's with him all the time but what if he also has his own life and goal? what if mingi is the only one feeling like he has a friend when yunho is probably not that really deep into this? what if this friendship is just a made up scenario in his head to cope?

we can also see the reference of how youth feels like to both mingi and yunho as performers (maybe). the dome-like structure with windows maybe symbolizes fans, media, and other people who can only perceive them through the glass. and only yungi who are full fleshed, can touch each other and are very real to each other.

then the glass shatters were pointing towards them. their audiences who only see their persona, might use that "glass" to hurt and judge them. to be idols at a young age, they feel like walking on a thin ice from the exposure.

ALTERNATIVELY. those glass pieces were the result of mingi breaking the mirror. so, the sharp pieces are actually flying outwards. this might also symbolize the possibility if yungi break their persona and just be themselves for the sake of freedom, they might make mistakes and hurt other people. see how the glasses being frozen and we couldnt quite tell to which direction its moving, like, im no einstein.

little irl insert. this scene hits too close to home cus i have a best friend who's chained to her sufferings too til now and all i could do is watch her through the window, the way yungi did. we both had the same childhood trauma ig but i was "freed" earlier than her and my eyes have seen through a lot of layers and angles.

and sometimes, i insist that her only way out is to "burn the house". burn the past and lets move forward, im running next to, just slightly behind you.
