#i have no idea how to respond to the ask!

[rassebers]

hi i don't even go here (mob psycho) but your hello hello hello animation came across my dash and it is stunning. like so visually pleasing that i need you to know i queued it, looked up the song, added both versions to my spotify, and then came back to your post to watch it again like three more times, just mesmerized. song choice is banger, i've been trying to get into new music so thank you, but more importantly holy SHIT your animation is so gorgeous and cute and fun! please go off explaining all the little details of it because you said you added a bunch in your tags and i'd love to hear about them! :D

WHAAAT THE FUCK THANK YOU!!! Remi wolf is an awesome artist and I'm proud to be an unpaid advertisement for her music

SOME SMALL DETAILS I LIKE truthfully most of the details I mentioned are how the lyrics match up to the song and mentioning it makes me sound crazy so I won't list them all! But

Mob waking up to his phone is meant to match up with reigen calling him in the shot right after! there's only one person that would call him so bright in early in the morning ....

It's not super clear but the person after reigens part is meant to be ritsu, specifically when he's gone power crazy and tries attacking teru with his psychic powers. So, teru shows up in the next shot

Tomes little paper has the aliens she met on them. She drew it herself

One lyric i WILL TALK ABT is shous part because its meant to be like. The moment of him stepping thru the doorframe of ritsus house. hense, "i got one foot in and one out the door"

Reigen and mob play Rock Paper Scissors near the end, and reigen wins. Because reigen never loses at rock paper scissors!

Mob with his bouquet at the end because of course . i finished this before season 3 started so at the time it was an extra detail for manga readers

OH I really need your opinion about Louis being so emotionally intelligent, I think it's barely even talked about it here

ARE people not talking about it? What a funny thought! As a post-hiatus fan, I'm accustomed to thinking of myself as something of a newcomer, even though it's been years now, so it's weird to realize I've been here long enough to see patterns and trends come and go and come again. It's even weirder the way trends in fandom can be completely forgotten and erased when the boys, in contrast, eternally exist in all times at once, everything they've ever said considered to be equally valid to their current lives whether they said it 12 years ago as teens or just yesterday as whole ass adult men! Anyway my point is, there was certainly a time when Louis' emotional intelligence was discussed a lot, AS IT SHOULD BE. For sure so much when Walls came out it was... those LYRICS!! Yes, without that gift he's still gorgeous and smart and embodies a unique and bewitching gender presentation and has a beautiful and captivating singing voice… I guess there are a lot of other reasons people might like him. But to me the thought of that not being the top of anyone's "why Louis" list is bananas, it feels so absolutely central and necessary to understanding what makes him special!

It's certainly a lot of what makes his songs resonate with people- he's a skillful lyricist, he could craft clever little twists of phrase and metaphors regardless, but it's his emotional intelligence that sets him apart imo. He describes it as honesty, and yes- the willingness to be vulnerable and reveal your feelings is special, but what I don't know if he even really realizes is that for so many people it's not just an unwillingness to open up honestly like he does, it's that they are genuinely unable to identify and understand and name what's happening inside them like that. I think it comes so naturally to him that maybe it can be hard for him to recognize that that experience isn't universal.

I really appreciate that you used the words emotional intelligence specifically, I love that phrase; I think framing it as a form of intelligence is correct and important. It's a skill set that is dismissed as "feminine" and so less important or easier to access than intellectual intelligence, but it's none of those things. And it's a minority of people who, like Louis, are both intellectually and emotionally very very sharp. I'd say it's a reason he was been able to stay such a good person in the face of things that can easily ruin people (being rich and famous from a young age, trauma and loss), and it's certainly what enables him to be so good at his job. It elevates his songwriting above the ordinary, but also it gives him the tools to do the dance of giving the public something to connect with and making it feel like he's completely open and present without actually giving away too much, which would be absolutely impossible without emotional intelligence- if you don't know your own boundaries or can't intuit on the fly what people respond to, it simply falls flat and seems forced. We've been seeing him exercise those skills close up and in person over the last few days in the signings, making everyone feel special and held and like they got a personal special moment without actually telling anyone anything much or going overtime or getting sucked in to any weird interactions! Again, something that would be nearly impossible without those kind of people skills.

It's actually really funny the way the discourse recently (speaking of changing tides in fandom) has been focused on the idea of Louis presenting himself as masculine (is there a relationship between that and the lack of chat about his EI? hm), when I feel like in the past he was the most feminized by fandom, and not because of his mannerisms or look, but because of his willingness to embrace his emotional intelligence- to cry/ talk about crying openly, to share readily about his feelings and be vulnerable, all these things coded as feminine. He himself has said that he doesn't think he's anything special in this regard (or especially feminine, I think is part of the subtext to that) because Northern Brit men are just like that. I'm from the US so I'm not the one to really respond to that, but it seems to me that does contain some truth- I have seen a willingness to cry openly, to talk about vulnerabilities, etc, in other men with public personas from up there- but I think that again, what we're saying is that's he's showing more than just that, that we're talking about his emotional intelligence quotient being unusually high, which is not a regional characteristic, but a personal one.

what do u think characters favorite foods are :0

blake and cal eat snow, i think. cal's more dignified about it and just likes snow cones but blake eats it off the ground for fun.

elias eats shit that Tastes. doesn't matter if its good or bad it just needs to feel like he's one step closer to getting visions from arceus again

titania likes grilled cheese. despite lacking taste buds, a mouth, internal organs or a need for sustinence at all, her aegislash also does

shelly's second favorite food behind the cuffs of her long sleeve shirts are plastic bottlecaps. she just likes chewing stuff without the consequences of tasting stuff

noel likes kit kats. he wants to share with his pokemon but his team consists entirely of Normal Ass Animals and a fairy type even more succeptible to food poisoning so he can't give them any. anna on the other hand feeds her jirachi plastic because "it looked hungry :("

and hardy just like fries. he's a fries kinda guy

It’s so funny how people usually wonder about how writing long chapters, while I start having my eye twitched when I see a 6k words count and realize I’m still far away from finishing.

How do you all write short stories tell me your secrets.

[the-rule-of-beasts]

Ok so you wrote the 'Ghost on the shore' thing, right? (Which is very good by the way)

I was thinking that what if the challenger tried communicating through the death cards? Like, slowly mapping out sentences telling Leshy about themselves? Idk, i just feel like there's some story opportunity there but i don't have the brain cells to write it. Maybe explaining why they never take the meat?

Y’all… y’all. Y’all are absolute geniuses. I hadn’t even thought of this concept when I wrote Ghost on the Shore- and honestly?? Amazing, breathtaking, spectacular.

I’m sorry if y’all wanted a real, proper fic about this concept, I’ve been having trouble with long form writing as of late, so this is just going to be more of a stream of consciousness than anything else.

Okay okay anyway anyway:

Maybe you first reach out to Leshy through your death cards as an experiment. Maybe it was just for fun, maybe you have some suspicions that Leshy just seems far too real for this to be just a game. He’s said one to many oddly specific thing, has praised you one too many times, has held the camera one minute longer than seemed natural. Perhaps you feel like he’s truly in there, and perhaps- whether you truly believe yourself or not, you decide you want to reach out.

The first card is a simple message: a little “Thank You :)” written above a weak, high cost card with crappy sigils. It’s obvious to Leshy that you were not trying to make a usable card, not trying to break the game as you often seemed so fond of doing, instead using the name as a way to communicate. He does not respond right away, and your monitor displays the by now familiar “…”. He takes your puppet’s picture, and the game resets. He does not comment when the scene shifts back to his table, to the shadowy puppet and the long stretching silence.

But you notice that he did not pin up your death card too the door, that he does not offer it for use. And in your wandering about his cabin, if you are keen about it, you will notice that it is placed on his right side, often resting beneath the tips of his fingers.

This is promising.

You hasten your death, dying quickly to map battles and shifting excitedly when the scene once again shifts into that familiar photo room. You pay no attention to the stats, no mind to making a descent, working card. Instead you type “can you hear me?” with shaking fingers. There is another long stint of silence as Leshy ponders your card, hope swelling in the Scrybe’s chest in… well, he can hardly remember the last time he had felt hope.

“No,” he finally says, and you can feel your excitement mounting with every word, “I cannot hear you. But this- I can see this.”

Thus begins a new way of playing, of learning how to communicate. Leshy is finally able to begin to place a person to the puppet he faces, is finally able to put bits and pieces together to form the semblance of a personality. And you learn new ways to communicate with your game master, learn everything you can about him and his world. He tells you stories, asks you questions about yourself. You learn a way to answer yes and no questions with the squishy mushrooms by the globe, two bops for yes, one for no.

And you use every death as an opportunity to introduce yourself time and time again. You give him your name, your real name. You tell him that you love his game, that you wish the two of you could speak properly. You tell him how bitter you are about not being able to eat his gift, your little “want meat >:(“ bringing a smile to his face and his bright laugh to the dark room.

And it is not much, it is small and fragile, but it is tangible. And Leshy knows that there is a person behind the puppet. A true Challenger to love and to admire. He has words now, words that he can hold and read over and over again, even when you leave. He has promises now, too, words that he gets to hold close to his heart and await the day they are fulfilled. He has you now, a semblance of you, a tangible part of you that he can touch and feel and cherish. And while he wants more. He wants to hear you, to touch you, to feel your pulse and your breath, feel the proof that you are alive and that he is alive. But this… this is enough. This is the small blessing you gave him, the one true light in the darkness that surrounds and suffocates him.

And he hopes that one day there will be more.

He hopes that one day, there will be you.

    Powering down did not work. Stasis did not work. He re-awakened from them, on his own, without heed to a timer or anyone’s assistance, as though he had merely been in recharge. All he could do was nap briefly to avoid his problems.

    And unfortunately, his conditions had begun to show more visually, rather than primarily being internalized. Despite no further exposure to ultraviolet light, his paint had dulled in color and shine, his biolights and optics had grown dim, and perhaps it was his imagination, but he thought his teeth had sharpened further, which was highly uncomfortable in his mouth.

    There were two more days left. Ratchet had decided to just lay on a desk for the time being, helm in folded arms. He was strong. He could endure this. Hopefully.

[shmorp-mcdurgen]

You got the best style fr

Thank you!!! I’m glad you like it

[searidings]

I have read a few of your supercorp writing now and while I understand you don't need a strangers validation I wanted to let you know that you are truly an exceptional talent. Your writings elicit so many rare and real feelings, thoughts, concepts and understandings all the while being the best things I have ever read. I do wonder sometimes "who hurt you" when reading your depictions of Kara and Lena's trauma but I also applaud your ability to grasp the characters and what they go/have been through, the scars they have, and how they could even start to deal with any of the situations in their lives. Your writing is addicting.

My only sorrow from your readings (other than wanting more) is that I now know I will never experience a love like you depicted of Supercorp.

BROSKIS I LOV YOU NOT KIDDING 😭😫🤧🥰

[ratcandy]

hiii haha you look like someone who knows all the 57 precepts of zote *giggles* *twirls my hair*

Of COURSE I know all the 57 precepts of Zote. For they are the moral code by which I live my life. The final precept demands I commit all precepts to heart and obey them unfailingly and to go against this notion would make me nothing but a fool. Are you suggesting you DON'T know all the Precepts? Like some kind of coward? Well then listen closely anon because we're about to repeat the 57 precepts of zote. And you better listen to everything I say or else I'm gonna have to do it again. And silence that giggling. This is important. This is the most important information you'll ever receive in your life. It's no laughing matter. Ahem. Now. Anyways. Precept 1 is always win your battl

While the trauma of finding his friends dead body could have caused Beyond Birthday to snap, personally I like to think that this guy had some signs of sociopathy and Wammys did nothing about it.

I tend to think that before him and A became close he tended to be by himself, he analyzed the other kids at Wammys to try and figure them out . He had a strange fascination for crime scenes that went above the norm for somebody in the successor program. He had a habit to lie to the other kids, trying to make them do things for him. Whenever a teacher or another classmate irritated him, or if he got into a fight with another student and was going to be punished he would destroy things in his room. He didn't hurt animals as much, but there were two instances that were memorable. He killed a hamster and swallowed a goldfish.

After A became friends with B he calmed down some. Having somebody that was mature and genuinely kind to him helped. Not to say B stopped his actions but A was a voice of reason and helped B find outlets that weren't what he was doing. A also tried to help B see that there was in fact a problem with what he was doing. B had good days for sure, he lies through his teeth but A calls out his bullshit and they laugh and if B needs to get away they sneak out and go blow off some steam. Though on bad days B distances himself from A and isn't the best. He lies more and doesn't acknowledge A when he calls him out on it, he can end up trashing his room and even A's if they argue when there and A definitely has found himself getting hurt . At the end of those days B doesn't apologize, sometimes he just leaves. One of the times after a bad day B had gone and was away for almost two weeks. He ended up being found the next city over. Usually after bad days, especially if B had run away, it takes a while for A to reconnect with B and get him back on track.
