#i have such a bad tendency to ramble

[ad-hawkeye]

Ngl, I haven't been too interested in Lovebrush, but I really like that trope you mentioned with Alkaid. I'm a sucker for otherworldly love, and then people resisting it, is just icing on the cake for me. Maybe I'll go check it out now.

I can hear my phone storage crying in the distance. Lol

OMG FIRST OF ALL. ANON. I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THE LOVEBRUSH SPAM. my brain is yet again Not Well, i fear, and i sincerely hope my tags are helping you block out any clutter. BUT. im glad you at least found some good in my ramblings!

there are a lot of things i like about lovebrush. while it might be harder to get attached to characters due to the "each world has an au version of the love interests" bit, it has its benefits. this aspect of lbc helps prevent ooc actions, as well as preventing the writers from loading new hobbies and skills onto the love interests because they've run out of ideas. like, if they want to give a new hobby, they can just make it something that au version likes.

base personality tends to stay the same, though. like what i mentioned with alkaid. he's gentle, respectful, and has strong emotions. it's nice because in both his godheim and eden routes, he resists the spells and otherworldly influences for lust and possessiveness, but genuinely and organically falls in love with mc over the course of the plot. it's a nice chance of pace from the writers being like oh look! he's under a SPELL or he's DRUNK or Whatever - isn't this behavior HOT.

i can't speak for the future of this game, but i like it a lot as of right now. also it feels easier to be ftp. due to the fact that the cards only have like. four minute long stories (if even that), there's less of a "i NEED it" to pulling cards. there's a lot of reruns too. so while i always feel guilty when recommending a gacha, i feel less guilty when it comes to lbc which is more ftp friendly.

Hello!

If you're not too busy, would you mind listing some of the things you think count as death flags for Mr. Spender?

There's the obvious fact that he's the "old" mentor to group of young protagonists, but what else do you think would count?

OHH BOY ok so I'd think I'm a crackpot for this but since we're talking about Zack "Foreshadowing" Morrison. I have some thoughts

No harm in leading with the (chronologically) first thing that jumped out at me:

This one IMMEDIATELY made me antsy whenever I came back to it after my initial read, and considering Zack has referred to it on twitter in the past as one of their favorite jokes it's definitely not been forgotten about.

Second, the sheer amounts of near-misses, jokey or not, of Spender narrowly avoiding specifically lightning

Again, not much, but it's weird that it happened thrice, latter two of which had real gravitas rather than an one-off joke.

And third, Spender himself. He's repeatedly shown himself to be kind of a self sacrificing idiot, as well as prideful to a fault. Granted, it's both him and Mina trying to take on all the responsibility of saving Mayview and its inhabitants from their fate.. But Spender is exactly that right measure of doesn't-value-himself-enough (chest footprint aftercare or lack thereof), having an obscene amount of power (enables his loner act + pride) and poor judgement that has the capacity to put him at great risk. And it has!

Spender has not only shown low enough self-esteem to view himself as the de-facto scapegoat for the safety of the town, but also prideful enough to make very bad calls that end up in people, often himself, hurt (COUGH FORGE INCIDENT COUGH)

This is all conjecture, but it's definitely enough to make me worried about him :') Even if all this doesn't mean he'll necessarily die he's definitely getting (even more) seriously injured at some point. I love the guy but he's so far doing a horrible job of convincing me he wants to live bad enough to circumvent at least that

My Dearest Gumdrop,

I have recently binged the entirety of trainee-verse. Your wonderful masterpiece gives me life. Then I started to read everything on AO3 account and must now humbly beg your opinion on a thought your amazing work has sparked. (And possibly a prompt….)

Got to thinking about tiny humans and milestones and the fact that Tiny Shadowhunters probably grow up tracing the runes on their parents’/guardians’ skin. And because All Things Angelic are Super Important, it’s a Big Thing when a tiny human draws their first rune while coloring/finger-painting/drawing-on-the-Institute-walls, on par with first steps, first words, first curse, etc….

And maybe this is something that Tiny Shadowhunters are told about, a bit like the Zhua Zhou fortune-telling ceremonies, First Runes are meant to say something about the Shadowhunter….

Cue a new Runes Master (or Clave teaching auditor) who does a little ���Get To Know Me’ exercise with the Trainees, “Let’s all draw our First Runes and what Rune you wish to get after your Runing Ceremony. Then we’ll talk about them!”

…… Everyone draws ‘Deflect’ at least once, but they all have an unusually uniform hump at the bottom…..

(Someone we wouldn’t expect points out the Trainees are tracing the Rune in 3D as it dips over Alec’s collarbone).

My dearest Bean,

this prompt has had me feral for the days because of my stars is it adorable. Of course, Nephilim would have a ceremony like that because the seven runes they decide to draw, the runes they find themselves drawn to are supposed to be the runes that will guide their life as a shadowhunter. Some parents or institutes try to cheat by pushing their kids in a certain direction rune wise but that fails more often than it works.

I can just imagine an outsider’s POV (an OC or maybe Lydia to have her join the story) be confused how all of the trainees who grew up at the NYI have been drawing the same deflect rune with the same mistake for years: Max, Leo etc.

They don’t understand why until it’s Steph’s audit and she enters the room cradled in Alec’s arms and everyone sees her tracing Alec’s rune, shoulder blade bump included. Steph doesn’t notice the auditer(s) watching too busy chewing on her lips because she forgot all of her runes and she’s doing the audit alone because Rara is two years older than her and she needs to choose good runes and everything is being very scary and not fun.

The auditer (OC or Lydia) ends up hopelessly charmed and (if it’s Lydia) decides to move to the NYI because a Head that is so clearly adored by all of his trainees is a Head worth working for.

(Can you tell I’ve been thinking of nothing but this prompt since I got it? Because I have, seriously THIS IS SO CUTE I CAN’T.)

Also, Steph ends up drawing: the always-present deflect rune, a promise rune, a bridge rune, agape, angelic rune, fireproof and something the auditers can’t make out but Alec recognizes as her attempts at a familias rune.

Also also, because it hasn’t made its way into the series yet. Steph is Alec’s official, legal goddaughter not that he knows it because Steph’s mom bamboozled him and made him sign a godparent agreement with Izzy and Jace’s help without reading it. It’s an open secret in the institute and everyone is betting on when he finds out. Yes the trainees are also in on the secret and have been sworn to secrecy much to their absolute delight. Steph doesn’t know yet either because the chance of her spoiling is too big.

By the way. Buying jeans in stores is impossible if you are shorter than average and they are gonna drag behind you like a veil. Have fun tripping on them (It's me. I am short)

[designernishiki]

just a thought but like. if akiyama, who’s established as being a bizarrely talented investigator in y5, suspected kiryu’s death to have been faked (or at least “fishy” in his own words) basically on the fucking Spot, i feel like it just makes sense that majima would’ve been just as quick, if not quicker to see where shit wasn’t adding up and become skeptical that the whole thing was a coverup. reason being, in y5 he put shit together and figured out the grand scheme going on so damn early most people didn’t even suspect yet that there was any scheme going on. he then faked his own death well enough to get it in the papers and had masterminded himself all the way to the final boss (with some help of course) before things backfired on him. so he’s got some crazy good skills when it comes to reading people, figuring out their intentions, putting puzzle pieces together, etc– way better than he wants people knowing, generally– and he knows the hallmark signs of a faked death because he’s literally done it before. all that on top of knowing kiryu like the back of his hand and knowing damn well how hard this man is to kill, and how prone to running away from shit for the sake of the safety of people he cares about (for better or for worse) he is. he could absolutely put together that, if given the opportunity by some faction or powerful individual, kiryu would sacrifice his identity and status as a legit living person for the assured safety of others, or for yakuza tensions to diminish, or maybe even as an act of self-flagellation.

tldr: I think the reasons majima didn’t go rogue/apeshit after kiryu’s alleged death are that A) for once he has saejima around to reign him in and make it feel less like Everything has been lost, B) I think he’s legitimately known pretty much all along that kiryu didn’t die that day; nor would he believe it unless he saw it with his own eye.

If the apology vid IS making reference to the watcher apology then that makes me slightly more confident that whatever they're doing isn't going to be putting their content behind a paywall like what happened with them lol

tbh i cant imagine them ever putting ALL of their content behind a paywall, one off things like the WAD watch party or recordings of both stage shows (i think?? idk i havent actually seen them bc of the aforementioned paywalls) like that i understand. but all of it? i dont see it happening. i also dont think they make enough content to warrant a streaming service or something, which was one of the big criticisms of watcher. they also know their audience, so they know it just wouldn't go over well.

so yeah i really wouldn't worry too much about a paywall, it seems extremely unlikely to me

It’s really rude how my computer has gained sentience and is purposefully making sure it changes my correct answers into wrongly spelled answers on my knowt.io flash cards because it definitely isn’t that I am just incredibly frustrated and have really low self esteem so continuous failure makes me split into a situation where I am the victim and right now I am absolutely a victim of my sentient computer who knows what it is doing is wrong and they just want to hurt my feelings and it’s fucking working and I’m very sure punching and slapping my laptop that probably costs a grand will surely remedy the situation and I am behaving completely normal right now I am very rational in dealing with this situation thank you

I'm interested in Deimos, in general, care to ellaborate on them?

(what's their taste favorite food?)

YES ABSOLUTELY (bit of a long one again, sorry!)

Deimos, as previously stated, is the Embodiment of Human Fear - human fear specifically, being a result of rather than a wielder (as all the embodiments are really) and only coming into existence once homo sapiens became a thing (twice), but he is the fear by all accounts. Some miscellaneous stuff: 1. Essentially retired by this point in terms of his title. The Embodiments as a whole used to be a lot more 'around' per se, but the lot of them all kind of split off and humans do all the fear-mongering for him now, which is both fascinating and sad.

2. Bit of a bastard (/aff), likes to poke fun in his own eloquent way but knows when to back off. Maybe backs off a little too often, he prefers to avoid conflict when the option is available. Can and will read anyone like a picture book made for five y/o's and is a huge Shakespeare nerd (which probably has something to do with a chance encounter in London circa. 1592) 3. He's gone by countless names and forms, and the very notion of sticking to binary gender is laughable, (though he/him is the latest preference,) but 'Deimos' kind of became the default after Locke threw it at him as a nickname and it stuck 4. He's fond of referencing pop culture, (something of which Locke has no hope of ever understanding,) but it's either pop culture thats slightly too old for the current age or slightly too new. Slightly too old is self-explanatory, but what I mean by slightly too new is that since its naturally ingrained in him to pick up on the social patterns of humans, he will slightly nudge something forward in the public consciousness attuning to those patterns that will inevitably pick up in popularity because he finds it incredibly amusing. 5. Alas, he can't take credit for TikTok trends 6. Literally radiates terror to anything in a five mile radius that isn't dead. When he and Locke used to meet up in various points in history, they'd meet at around midnight to early morning as to not alert the local population, which unfortunately had the additional consequence of freaking out the local wildlife. Locke had to reason with the outraged birds that they could sing at dusk instead, saying that its just like morning but backwards. It took much convincing every time. and a hefty bribe of seeds. 7. Found the Woods a little while after he and Locke split up for the last time. To his knowledge, this vast stretch of wooded area somehow exists in several places simultaneously all over the globe while also not technically existing at all, looking at a decent map. Those that enter with good intentions exit, and those who enter without seem to blip off the face of the earth. It's usually pretty silent. And theres a big hecking house plop in the middle of it in pristine condition, looking wildly different in appearance depending on who's looking at it - so naturally he sets up camp in it and stays there for the next 300-something years 8. HAVE SOME CONCEPT ART, he does little things with his appearance every now and then for fun (colorful markings, scales, runic symbols, that sort of thing) but generally keeps up the base appearance of not quite fitting in seamlessly with reality, like a memory blurred around the edges.

the odd cross where his face should be is to remind myself where the heck he's looking lmao (he likes dressing casual-fancy because it makes him feel sophisticated) 9. He was close with another embodiment of fear early on in his existence - Phobos was moreso the reaction to fear and wasn't restricted to just humans for Some Reason. The two of them haven't spoken in ages though, for good cause. 10. He was debating reaching out to Locke for a while before they ended up in the woods themselves- despite his own interests, he's always preferred to let them do what they wish, especially given the extenuating circumstances 11. However, these extenuating circumstances say nothing on a plethora of curious children dragging the android in to stay a while (12. he doesn't really need to eat, and he has to fashion a whole digestive system for that, but Deimos does have a fondness for sweets - pastry items, chocolate, you name it. He'd also never admit it in front of the children ever)
