#i may be emotional a little bit ough ough ough

[spearxwind]

Whole gang's here :]

[spotaus]

HEY!

It is me!

I had a thought concerning New Age AU :D

I spend some time thinking about waht you said.

That the castle Nightmare (and dream and their family) lived in. The royal castle.

Is the tree of emotions.

So. So hear me out.

I wonder that. if the castle is the tree. does that mean it may be a bit sentient.

You said that nightmare can easily change it because he is conencted to it (the apple ritual) but i wonder if the castle itself is kinda sentient.

And VERY mad about how its powers got used.

Maybe the story of the twins. OG story. is connected to the prophecy. But it was a warning.

It was a warning to remain united. To trust your family and to listen to them when they ask for help. To believe them when they notice things about people youdon't notice.

To warn away from going out on your own. warnign away from searching for power that you shouldnt take. (the apples were never suposed to be eaten after all.)

And of those twins the one who ate the apple actually succeed in killing their twin. that the grieve of that moment intensified the emotions based power source into overdrive which caused the one who ate the apple to even gain godlike abilities.

the whole prophecy was a warning.

The royal family that settled in this place. found the story. found the tree (having recovered after the twin who ate the apple died) and instead of seeing a warnign. saw a to do list.

The lessons they took:

power makes you undefeatable

the power makes you stay in control

the best way to gain this power? eat an apple and kill someone important to you.

attachment is a weakness waiting to be used to grow more powerful.

sadly after they grabbed and misused one apple? they got paranoid. if they can use the tree to gain power others can too! so they cut the tree down. and to make sure it could never grow back. build the castle on top of it.

Meaning there is only ONE apple. the one consumed by the one true ruler. and the ruler neeeds to willingly summon their apple/soul to give to eat to the new ruler. to pass on the forbidden knowedge and power through lessons and traditions.

over time the trees influence took over the castle. but because the ruler ate the apple and has a direct connection they can still control the castle.

the tree/castle watches as nightmare broke the cycle. as nightmare refused to hurt ccino (adn so his brother) nightmare, even through fear chose love and trust.

the castle willingly helps and protects nightmare.

and when nightmare lost the apple's power? officially breaking that godforsaken cycle? the castle is just more protective. thorn now protect the castle and the trees around it hide it.

this is of course. lost knowledge. the royal family made sure to destroy the knowledge in fear of someone standing against them.

but nightmare managed to break it still.

and maybe... just maybe... now somewhere deep in the castle. deep underground as a forgotten meadow deep underground. in a beautiful little cave. a new tree starts to grow to truly help heal the land.

haha sorry this got long again lmao.

but yeah! If you have the tree/castle kinda sentient you can have that the very land was trying to sabotage the old rulers but couldn't do a lot because of the one apple's power and so having to listen.

it would be the source of all that powerful magic.

Ough. It SO is slightly sentient.

Ancha once again you have obliterated me w/ ur storytelling istg-

Okay. I love that this info has been lost completely to time. Like. The only one that's aware is the tree/castle itself.

I think the interpretation I like here is that, the stump is somewhere within the grounds, maybe even in the treasury or armory, but the *roots* make up the building kinda cypress tree style, so as they cut down the tree, the once vibrant life in the old roots turned to stone and was left almost completely powerless. (I am, unfortunately, a sucker for the idea that there was a time that *someone* treated the tree with respect 😔) (Also hense the new young tree sprout growing out of the ground deep in a hidden cavern, because the roots relocated the power to a safer location.)

The castle, desperately grasping for that power back, so no one might mis-use it ever again. And then seeing Nightmare resist its twisted urges (like u said) in the name of love and care? It rips that power away the moment it loses its hold on Nightmare, and takes the seeds of magic away from harm's reach. But... Nightmare isn't upset by the loss. He doesn't go digging to get the power back. He... doesn't dig for *any* power.

Less blood is shed in vain on its land, more plants and ecosystems are allowed to thrive.

And gods, just the idea that the castle grows up plants and trees to better defend itself abd the people inside? This reaction is spontanious and Night assumes it connects to the state of the magic leaving him, but it doesn't harm anyone so ehhh. But the tree is trying to encourage and protect those who helped it without knowing...

And dude the whole story of the og story and both twins dying and then a family misconstrued that entire story into one of power and consumption and betrayal??? Waughhh it's beautiful....

I'm losing my mind here at the storybook level magical healing and forgiveness and learning lessons, I love it so so dearly <3

[good-beans]

You talked a little while ago about why you don't think Shidou would make a good father to Amane (agreed) and proposed the idea of Mahiru adopting Amane. That's cute but I want to tell you about my post-MILGRAM headcanon:

Amane joins the Kajiyamas

Not Fuuta specifically adopting her, but like him taking her back to his family's house. I'm sure they'd have a spare room

I think people don't think about Fuuta's homelife much, or if they do they take Fuuta's one interrogation question where he calls his dad an old fogey and assume its like, abusive

And don't get me wrong, I don't think the Kajiyama household are perfect. Fuuta' beautician sister surely hasn't helped when it comes to Fuuta's body image issues and I'm betting they're all a bunch of tsunderes too embarrassed to say they love each other

But in a series where most of the abused characters are still convinced their abuser loved them/acted out of love. Seeing a guy not be afraid to call his dad a loser is almost a green flag

I think it'd be good for Amane to not necessarily be adopted as the lone child to a single parent but get to be introduced to a very different style of family unit from her own One where its normal to express different opinions or disagreements or even have arguments and not have it be the end of the world

Amane already has a snarky side to her, I bet it'd flourish in a brash household like the Kajiyama's (or at least how I imagine them to be)

OOHHH wait I love that so much! >:O

I agree -- I never interpreted Fuuta's family as abusive or harmful, just not super close and struggling a bit after his mother left. (And yeah, all as openly emotional as him😭) They seem stable and very capable to taking in a extra, very well-behaved child. Assuming Fuuta is the way he is because of them, that atmosphere of being very honest and forward would work well for her. They say things as they are, little by little pointing out the harmful parts of her worldview. Like you said, none of them make excuses about harmful behavior stemming from love, so she'd get a really healthy dose of truth in that area. She never feels coddled or treated like a baby. They care for her while treating her very maturely.

I absolutely love how well she and Fuuta get along, with that snarky side to her that you mentioned. It would allow her to fit in well in the new household, getting the sense of belonging she'll lose after leaving the cult. Also, seeing how Fuuta and his sister let things slip and aren't perfect sons/daughters, she'll be able to relax about earning a parent's love through perfect behavior. She'll probably stay exactly the same, but her stress about it will fade <3

I doubt Fuuta's father can ever replace the hole she'll have from her own father, but the addition of an older sister will be huge. Amane will never get the feeling her mother is being replaced, but the woman will still fill the gap of the older, same-gender role model she needs. Her beautician job may throw Amane at first (being an indulgence in vanity), but it isn't as in-your-face as other careers. I think she could definitely ease Amane into accepting it, and over time, accepting her own personal "indulgence."

Plus, her moving in would also be really good for Fuuta! I think he'd recognize there's a ton of fun things she missed out on, and that heroic side of him outweighs the part that cringes: he gripes and groans about going to "kid places," but he's always the one to announce "I can't believe you've never been to __, we're going right now!!" This allows him to touch grass leave the house and experience his own life to the fullest. He's able to channel his desire to help society into a healthier outlet. Also, seeing her studying habits and plans for the future might even inspire him to do the same. (might.) He becomes the stereotypical good big brother, though of course he denies it viciously...

I have recently been going insane over their friendship so I'm completely taken with this idea OUGH thank you for telling me ;-----;

[skydigiblogs]

sky and co's seeker thoughts (ch 2)

ough, okay, quick thoughts on chapter 2. will try to be brief but i'll likely elaborate on these at a later point once i finish the whole novel (which, yeah, i am still gonna force myself through even though i am disliking it; i did the same for next, and it'll keep me occupied at work lmao)

so, first thing's first: i really do not like the worldbuilding of seekers. there's a lot going on that makes me very uncomfortable. that is:

everything to do with nation x. introducing it and describing it only through its low GDP, state-sponsored terrorism, and dictator, is uh. hm. it just doesn't sit right with me to strip a nation down to strictly these things, because unfortunately even if you call it "nation x," those characteristics have real world geopolitical connotations. to put it lightly, guys that feels a bit racist of you.

following on that, uh, hey, you know what also doesn't look great? SoC is introduced as "A militant organization that is considered to be the right wing of the code cracking team." SoC is described as a terrorist group itself (and i genuinely can't tell if this is the writer trying to write it so that this is supposed to be slanderous).

and one of their top execs is also the only person of color we have in the novel. right, right, cool, um. hey. like i love marvin's characterization so far dgmr, he is an actual person, but i really hope seekers tries to do anything to counter the fact it literally described SoC as a right wing, terrorist group??

final worldbuilding note: i don't like the fact that seekers hinges on us believing that the fuckin metaverse took off enough that there's a crypto rivaling the USD. this is the only worldbuilding note i am willing to let slide, since it is, at the end of the day, in service of giving us more of a reason why digimon can affect the real world at all (since, afaik, digimon can't realize in the real world, only hololize). other series like CS and GG did it just fine without this shit but i will let it slide for now. i may not be so kind on it in the inevitable essay about the whole thing.

i fucking hate sad white boy (leon). just straight up thumbs down i hate everything about him and how he is used narratively. this is because he is described as a blonde, blue eyed man with a tragic past whose fit physique is thanks to him working out to bury that "weakness" (his trauma). he has a savior complex and is an american and god holy fucking shit i hate him.

reason why i hate sad white boy number 2: sad white boy in chapter 2 is, by the end of it, almost explicitly meant to represent an ideal of his that is in conflict with eiji. that's to say, sad white boy is "justice," and eiji is "freedom." this is practically handed to us in chapter 2-9. i am aware that takemikazuchi mode exists so i know obviously at some point these two have to make amends, but seeing how chapter 2 ended with eiji crying over sad white boy martyring himself to save him (we'll get back to THAT in a sec), implying that he would even consider relenting his idea of "freedom" for sad white boy is. hm.

reason 3: following on that last point, sad white boy is by definition privileged. seekers isn't hesitant to point this out, which i do like! what i don't like, however, is that them doing so feels hollow after sad white boy's martyring at the end of chapter 2. this is especially so thanks to the fact that it's also coming after loogarmon's dark digivolution, which, in the text, feels like the narrative trying to condemn eiji for his resentment towards leon (something which, for a kid like eiji who has lost so fucking much makes sense!).

(side note: i know in general digimon has a habit of using dark digivolution as a way of like, condemning certain emotions. i would love to unpack that in a longer essay, to be honest.)

i love eiji though. dumb little shit.

still not sure what the narrative wants me to think about the police though. by the end of it i'm probably going to have a lot of notes about it. certainly feels sour on the reading palate considering what police actually do though. yesterday i mentioned how much i hated the narrative putting a line about colonialism right next to a scene that, at least imo, felt like it was trying to paint the digipol as the good guys. like, irl, cops function as an extension of colonialism, so it just. idk.

tl;dr: savers i miss you. savers please.

(for context: i started my rewatch of savers because i wanted to see how DATS was treated in terms of portraying police. savers pleasantly surprised me considering it quite explicitly showed that the government can and will enable genocidal behavior. like, kurata wasn't a "bad apple," he was enabled by the impatience of the japanese government and a LOT OF TROOPS.)

(also savers did the privileged character clashing with the more hot-headed/loose main character thing way better than my experience is feeling at the end of chapter 2 with eiji and sad white boy.)

[kae-karo]

is it bad I want to see your other ideas anyway-- adsagkljdslkgj. HOW MANY WIPS DO YOU HAVE actually scratch that I cant say shit because I have a kise wip in progress rn oops-- cant wait for your rnis work to drop <3<3<3

ahahhahaha no no ur so valid!!! for context (x) i'll do uhhh a quick synopsis below the cut for anyone who's interested in what i didn't mention over on twt !!! and i'll talk abt wips too LMAO i love a good excuse to talk abt what i'm working on. and omg dw u are so valid !!!!! and i take no offense i am always in wip hell (affectionate) (i like having things to jump around between so i never get too frustrated if i get stuck somewhere)

if any of yall see anything below that ur super into, let me know!! always cool to know what people are hyped about, may influence what i work on next lmao

first, wips!!

as mentioned i have a rnis fic which is VERY very loosely based on the concept from this post (x) ft background ryusae lsjdffsd cause i apparently can't write a fic without them

also if ur a fan of the mall au (x) i'm currently posting, u will be thrilled to know that i am neck-deep in part 2 which will feature sendou (some ryusaesen but endgame aikusenbarou), charles (one-sided pining for shidou + endgame niko/charles), isagi (kaisagi and some bachisagi), and karasu (tabieita fake dating flavor) !!!!

ryusae praise kink gone wrong !!!!! i love the way shidou is so complimentary of others and i Bet he has a praise kink himself and i just think that sae'd pick up on that and (completely on accident) say smth that rly hits on something shidou's actually sensitive about (like, smth he's self-conscious about that sae compliments) and it turns the whole 'about to hook up' vibe into smth rly soft and tender

ouuuuu ryusae Again but this time, sae got machine-ified at a young age to basically be used as an enhanced human processor for a research facility (where he's basically always hooked up to wires and whatnot, processing research data etc) and shidou's the new maintenance person assigned to take care of him :)

i think i mentioned in passing that i had some other ideas for spinoffs of the kaisagi counterspell fic (x) but i have actually started working on the initial ryusae spinoff which is a getting-back-together vibe where shidou broke it off bc sae couldn't accept the idea that shidou might like him just...for him, so he used shidou as a test subject for various spells he was developing in an effort to push him away

ryusae Again i swear i think abt charas that aren't sd and se lmaoooo this one's fully just pwp and my ovipos kink + shidou with tentacles :)

ough a longfic idea that i wrote a little bit of the start of that's ryurin but i think i need to rethink the actual dynamics of their relationship bc i might prefer platonic ryurin (like,,,,relationship but not romantic) but high school au with rin who's crushing on kaiser (bear with me) bc he thinks kaiser's so Cool and Punk only for kaiser to start changing his behavior bc he's crushing on sae who is very Uncool and Preppy (in rin's eyes) only to find out that sae's annoying friend shidou is actually very cool and punk and likes the same music etc etc chaos ensues

ryukai i just think they should be messy together and the line "are you seriously hard right now" felt hilariously perfect to make kaiser say to shidou. while they're watching rnis fight on field. i think this one includes some repressed kaisagi emotions on kaiser's part tho so i have to think abt how deep or not deep i wanted to go with those

kise spinoff of spellbound (x) the ryukuro fic !!!! that goes into detail on when sae first showed up at the castle and how he ended up staying

and then tbh i have a number of other wips that i refuse to say ive abandoned but also i have not touched in a While (zhongli x kaeya/childe/diluc/aether, bakutodo boarding school au, a kunigiri i halfway rewrote when i found out i accidentally completely deleted a kncg fic i wrote that couldn't be recovered)

and then other ideas asdkfjklsfdj

isagibowl actor au that i did not delve into plot wise any further than that lmaoooo frankly i just think i need to write isagibowl at some point cause that boy deserves to FUCK

my cousin's best man at his wedding gave a speech abt how my cousin FORGOT WHO HE WAS after they'd already met and been on like. the same baseball team or smth and idek what ship this would be (probs smth with rin or sae) but it made me laugh so hard i had to write it down

sae who Refuses to form attachments with anyone and hooks up with many people (this is labeled in my notes as 'sae using whoever as basically a dildo' and frankly i'm right)

everyone in ng11 having a tattoo so sae has a tramp stamp. idk if it's when he acquires the tattoo or what but i just think i should write abt it

siren sae ryusae this is a GREAT idea i should rly write this but siren sae who gets captured on purpose to bait someone on the ship into going overboard (ofc it ends up being shidou that he fixates on) and eventually he succeeds and nearly kills shidou except shidou's just looking at him like he sees sae and not some Evil Creature and sae's just like. fuck. and doesn't kill him, just tosses him up on some beach which is a pain in the ass cause no legs and then shidou finds him again and sae tries to scare him off by being all demon siren like and shidou is just ENAMORED

throat goat shidou ryurin where shidou'll give basically anyone head and most of the pxg guys have taken him up on it. rin hasn't (but he will :) )

another nontraditional fic format concept where sae keeps detailed records of everyone he's slept with, notes on preferences kinks how good/not good the sex was etc etc in like. a Form format

o i'm redacting this one cause i decided to use this idea for an original story instead lmao

noaego outsider pov "i wonder if your therapist knows everything about me" based right before noa goes to bllk to coach the bm team i just think noa's poor therapist would be so exasperated abt him going back to his ex like that

ryurin neighbors au where rin can see in shidou's window and that guy is ALWAYS half-naked and doesn't have/doesn't close his blinds/curtains and rin gets so fed up with it that he leaves a note on the door except then he swears it's happening MORE often, chaos ensues and rin goes over to Confront the guy. horny chaos ensues :)

kaisagi pov of fanfic writer hiori where kaiser's desperately trying to figure out what the hell is happening with all this fic stuff. bachira keeps sending isagi kaisagi fic from his fave author (hiori, not that he knows that) and isagi ends up reading it (out of morbid curiosity ofc !!!!) unsure of the resolution but it would be very cracky i think

saesagi my beloved but it's a seat chat fic bc i'm unwell about seat chat on airplanes. anyway 12yo isagi finds out he's on a plane with ITOSHI SAE (13yo, when he got scouted for real madrid) and sends him a seat chat message just talking about how amazing a player he is etc. ffw however many years and sae is lowkey obsessed with him (maybe in a 'his encouragement is what got sae through some of his darkest times in madrid' sort of way)

ryusae it's always ryusae lmao pop idol sae and budding makeup artist shidou. sae's notorious for being insanely picky abt his makeup (brands, application, style, etc) and regularly fires new artists. at some point, he fires one right before he's supposed to go on stage, calls kaiser in (old friends, and kaiser did his makeup before kaiser made it big & started his own company) and kaiser's like just this once, then i'm sending you someone else. and sends over the guy that barged into his office trying to get a job with no credentials or pro experience or references (aka shidou lmao)

ryusae (again, i know) trans camboy shidou and very invested watcher sae, but it's set in canon, and that's actually part of why sae picked shidou for the u20 game

ryusae (i knOW) where shidou wakes up multiple times to sae fucking him (or riding him, blowing him, etc) and he's like. pretty boy. I wanna be involved in this, wake me up next time. and sae is like rly cautious and hedgy abt it. won't say why but could go lots of ways - he thinks he wants it too often and shidou will find him annoying, he's still struggling to say when he wants smth, etc

ryukai dying each other's hair. bonus points if they both end up with purple tips

ryucha where charles clocks shidou's boner on field and follows him into the locker room to get dicked down about it

kise based vaguely (plot whomst we don't know her) on not the one by movie night (x)

kaisagi fwb i typed 'ypichi' in a fic on accident and published it not noticing the typo and i think kaiser would typo isagi's name and then put him in his phone as 'y🍑y' which would irritate isagi to no end. other than that, plot whomst?

rin&sae 2nd person pov fic about destroying your brother's dreams or smth along those lines. i have like. one starting line to potentially use here lsdjfklfs

either ryusae (iKNOW okay i know) or rinsagi based on i like me better by lauv (specifically the spotify studio recording version) (x) where they're just being. so unbearably soft for each other

rinsagisae based on in the middle by dodie (x) idk which one would be the ex of isagi's but i have written ryurinsae before and i wld rly like to try my hand at rinsagisae as well

ryukai i am deeply obsessed with them both having this core motivator of 'proof of existence' and i think that could be a fun idea to incorporate into a pwp fic

this is so important to me i need to write an h2o fic some day and i think it being about sae, isagi, and kaiser getting mer'd would be the best way to hit on all the relationships and dynamics i would want to explore

phew. okay. sldkfjklsfdjsfd. hey if u made it this far, thanks for checking this out !!! i think i unironically have another 11 fics i've finished that are in the queue to post over the next couple months so hopefully u will enjoy those as well!

and hey if any of these sounded particularly interesting (or any of the ideas i mentioned on my twt thread - x) feel free to let me know!! no promises, but i could possibly be steered toward certain ideas over others once i'm done with this rnis fic lmao

[katierosefun]

i just saw the ask game and idk if you still have time but if you 'd like to answer 001 with jwds cause i just love them so much and i always love to read your thoughts, you word things so well ♥

aww thanks for the ask, anon!! // from these asks

001 | jwds edition

when I started shipping it if I did:

i started shipping them probably the second they had their first on-screen interaction with one another. something just very funny about joo won quietly watching dong sik from the second he walks through the door, something also very funny about dong sik introducing himself to joo won (but joo won haughtily moving on), something insane about how joo won and dong sik were both adamantly against the idea of them becoming work partners. i don't really like enemies to lovers, but they had such funny and intense chemistry from the get-go that i think i fell for them immediately.

my thoughts:

i still think that jwds is perhaps one of . . . like .. . the ships that really made me reconsider how i feel about love stories and also what it means to really love someone, period. which perhaps sounds a bit dorky, because i also believe that stories can only teach you so much, but i do think that when i watched beyond evil, i had this idea in my head already of what devotion and love really looked like. beyond evil--and joo won and dong sik's relationship, really, show that if you love someone, you shouldn't want to go to hell for them. you should want to drag yourselves out of hell together, and that means so much in this world we're in.

What makes me happy about them:

i think the fact that they both are willing to admit that they were wrong about each other--and how, because of that, they're willing to defend one another through hell and back. there's something just so wonderful about joo won becoming so adamant about truly understanding dong sik once he realizes that dong sik is not at all the person he thought he was--and alternatively, there's something so painfully wonderful about dong sik going to bat for joo won even when everyone else was suspicious of him. they are the people who understand exactly how much pain the other has been in, and they therefore understand exactly how much heart is in the other person, so that makes me tear up.

What makes me sad about them:

hm, i think this might really just be a headcanon thing but also, it might be steadily based in canon . . . but i do think that while joo won and dong sik are having their happily ever after right now, i still feel like there must be a lot of difficult obstacles for them, just because they both have? a lot of? emotional scars. i think they'll absolutely work through them--they've been working through them together over the course of the show, but i'd imagine it still takes a bit of time before either of them can take a breath and go "okay. we don't have to act like this is going to blow up in our faces."

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

i don't think i've ever seen a fanfic that annoys me!

things I look for in fanfic:

anything that's post-canon related. also, idk, i do like the really long fics that are just a deeper exploration of joo won and dong sik's personalities.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: 

ough that's rough, because i genuinely don't think i'd want them to end up with anyone else outside each other. if they don't end up together, i'd hope that they'd at least have some unspoken "it could've been you" grief going on between them. (which may be a little evil of me, but. cut a girl some slack.)

My happily ever after for them:

living together forever, having a lot of happy days and nights full of good food and good company. they get through the bad days together. they also have a garden, and they also have a cat.

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

joo won's the big spoon. man is so touch starved that as soon as he graduates to that level of the relationship with dong sik, dong sik literally can't remember what it's like to sleep and not realize joo won's hugging him from behind.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

cooking together, probably. dong sik swears he's not very good at cooking (he really is actually quite awful), but he probably can work through some of his mom's older recipes. joo won's very good at cooking, as we already know, and he probably gets a lot of joy out of cooking for dong sik. alternatively, dong sik probably really likes making joo won try new things, so i think they probably match each other perfectly in that regard :')

[aeonophagic]

it is I. again. I think I'm running out of ways to open these asks... anyhow it's Ottokevin convo time, not because I'm very interested in them but mostly for one of my other friends and a little bit because I thought you'd enjoy them; there's a lot of images this time around so this might take multiple asks; these are also mostly wording differences as per usual, the CN text seems to be far more flowery than the official English translation also videos of the full convo are linked here TN: "The setup was really really hard to translate, and honestly I think the English one does an okay job setting the scene while still making it sound coherent, I just think there are a few interesting details in the Chinese at the cost of everything sounding 10x jankier" original: "Two men sat facing each other within the insulated void bubble above the sands."

original: "Golden light flowed and danced within the confinement created by the Void Archives, the first Divine Key."

original: "Otto observed the man before him. His inhuman gaze was devoid of emotions, memories, or warmth."

original: "But this man belittled everything. Schicksal and Otto himself meant nothing to him."

original: "No. The World Serpent does not intend to fight Schicksal."

original: "I don't need your promise. You either submit, or you will be destroyed."

original: Otto: "But the Honkai is intensifying at a rate faster than we think. The great enemy is evolving with our civilization."

original: Kevin: "Guilty as charged."

(this line is after Otto says "The 5th Herrscher will soon appear", 179 pointed out that without any other context the original translation kinda makes it sound like Kevin summoned the 5th Herrscher) I think I'm either reaching the image or text limit here so I'll continue this in another ask!

im a Victorian child asking please Sir may I have Some more. And you and 179 are feeding me

The void as a cage…ough….I really like this one. With how void archives was caged within Otto, and with how the fenghuang down’s realm by VA was composed of birdcages…

outright telling Otto he’s wrong LOLOLOLOL he’s the only one in the verse with enough power (in that story chap) to stick it to his huge ego like that

Kevin saying “that’s right” instead of “guilty as charged” feels far more fittingLOL when he said “guilty as charged” I was like woah…the horse used the elevator? I didn’t know he knew how to do that!

as always thankiu both so much….food so mf good!!!!!!

[archivalofsins]

Hello! Just popping in about that Mikoto fic 👀

It was all really cool, I loved the emotional punch that it packed. I was crying over Bokukoto trying to work through so much new information, trying to find comfort in the idea of Orekoto, calling out to him -- only to reject the thought just as quickly... And given everything we see in Double now, it’s extra fitting that he’s shown wearing himself out and not really using any healthy methods of relaxing rip

I loved the mirror as their contact point!! Both as a callback to the mv visuals, but just a really cool idea in general! Like, obviously they’d only see “themselves” when looking in a mirror, so it’s awesome to see the concept executed so literally >:0

OUGH Orekoto’s view of the world is so painful, but given his origins it makes so much sense. I feel like it’s common to see interpretations of him where he’s full of drive and aggression and motivation to fight back against the world (that’s how I took him until reading this lol), so I really enjoyed the more realistic perspective that he’s just fed up with everything. He’s not fighting because he wants to stick it to ‘em, he’s just fighting to hang on and make it through each day in a world that’s beating him down ;---;

There’s such a painful, ironic loneliness. Both feel so isolated despite having someone else so close. Bokukoto is afraid of the others staying away from him, and Orekoto is afraid of Bokukoto leaving him. Bokukoto wants someone to rely on, Orekoto wants someone to rely on him, but neither one is making it easy for the other!! >:'( I thought you did such a cool job of driving home that feeling of deep loneliness while simultaneously keeping up the tone that there was someone else nearby, connected.

I was curious, did Mikoto get to see MeMe? Or was he hearing the “other voice” in general? 

Ah sorry this got a bit long but I thought the fic was really nice!!

I did have a lot of fun writing the Mikoto fic and playing with the broader interpretations of Mikoto's character.

There are little nods to my own interpretation of his character here and there. That comes about in the subtle tiredness and disdain towards the way the world is in the second part. Along with the begrudging acceptance that it may always be that way regardless of what an individual does.

personally I've always considered the space in MeMe to be Mikoto's mental space. A representation of his own mentality and way of handling things. Hence why it's so destroyed but serene in a way. Far less frantic than what we see displayed in Double. I think there are a few things in Double that support the idea that in MeMe we're seeing Mikoto's space while in Double we see John's.

Not even taking into consideration Deco's statement after the videos release. So, I worked with that sort of impression in mind. To give this idea of Ore (John) trying to meet Mikoto where he was at in a way. Yet, still not really being capable of fully understanding. I wanted it to give off this feeling of I'm here to support you even if your actions don't make sense to me and mine may not make sense to you.

A theme that's incredibly difficult to convey. It did become easier to convey when considering that regardless of who did what they both held the same understanding that things couldn't have continued the way they were going for one reason or another.

Since I did write this fic before Double released I'm glad to see it aligned with some of the things presented. Though there are certain lines that give a clearer impression of the events that if I had them then probably wouldn't have changed much but certainly would have been helpful.

Such as,

" “He’s a liar”, you said, and made me out to be a scoundrel, why?"

Since, if Double is from John's perspective which it seems to be for the most part with Mikoto coming in at certain parts. Similar to how MeMe seems to have been from Mikoto's perspective with John coming in for other parts. This line is more than likely referring back to Mikoto's line within MeMe of,

"All those ridiculous accusations."

As "He's a liar" is put in quotation marks and most of the lyrics put into quotation marks within the prisoners songs seem to be something that prisoner have said in regards to the situation that put them here.

All of Mikoto's quoted lyrics would be

MeMe

"I"

"Me"

"Goodnight"

Double

“No, I need to do more…”

"Savior"

and

"He's a liar"

Goodnight and Goodmorning is used prominently throughout Double to transition between perspectives. Which have been neatly broken into a daytime part and a nightime one.

Something that becomes more interesting when one considers Mikoto's previous statements and the fact that MeMe the song that Mikoto is given onus of in Double-

As John takes onus of double singing,

"I don’t remember a thing, it couldn’t be helped, I’m DOUBLE (MeMe)."

MeMe is put in parerntheses not only highlightinhg yhe differences in songs but the fact that they are still one and the same to an extent. The tone of Double is also lighter than the previous one where Mikoto proper is shown to use more growling and screams.

Even shown to pant and hyperventalate at points similarly to how he does in the first voice drama. These sort of noises do break into Double at very interesting and indicative parts in my opinion. However, they're far from the main focus now.

Couple that with the fact that MeMe takes place at night with no daytime parts at all along with this answer Mikoto gave trial one,

Q.20           Are you more of a morning person or a night person?

Mikoto: I used to be basically nocturnal. Recently though I’ve been falling asleep pretty early.

Everything that occurred prior really lent itself well for Double to use lighting to play around with the concept of time and subtly transition from between one point to another.

As though showing the front and the back of the situation all at once.

Yet, it really made it difficult to not have that when writing a fic for Mikoto.

So, while writing those my main concern was not falling too into what I believed people wanted to see based on wider fandom interpretations of his character and instead subtlely highlight the intricacies that made me like Mikoto as a character.

A lot of which on Mikoto's end was that feeling of loneliness, fear of being stuck with oneself, and the fear being of being wrong in someway or viewed as wrong that MeMe gave off. Something I feel was properly expanded on through Double.

This is also why most of the songs I chose to listen to while writing them were heavily centered around loneliness, longing and to an extent the creation that can only be found from destroying ones present reality.

Something that is displayed in a more aggressive way in MeMe and Mikoto's first cover being Monopoisoner. I feel it's also visualized well through the state of Mikoto's inner world in MeMe. Because even though it looks in disrepair there's a peace and orde to it. That really embodies the concept of demolishing a wall to see the sky.

Throughout Double there are signs of Mikoto everywhere but in MeMe there aren't really many signs of John. Even when facing himself in the mirror. Something that was taking as though it could it was the other through yet through new information comes off as Mikoto being fearful of facing himself and his own actions.

So, I really had a difficult time interpretting the other as angry or agressive and leant more into tired and fed up as a result. Admittedly he can be angry and aggressive like anyone can but I wanted to explore where that anger and defensiveness would come from.

I also used the mirror as a contact point for this reason as well. I thought it was a subtle way to highlight that through not fully reflecting on himself Mikoto can't recognize the other as well. It also was a good way of playing on the idea of them seeing eye to eye being as simple as looking into the mirror.

Since again even if they aren't in full agreement they both seem to want Mikoto to be told he was right for what he did and be forgiven. For the audience to admit that they made a mistake and neither of them are the sort of person others have claimed they are. Something that has remained consistent through trials.

I'm really glad the characterizations can still sort of hold up even after Double's release though I personally see some areas where I could have done better.

Especially since the staff does such a great job of differentiating between the two of them visually in Double.

Even though I rushed writing it I was very conscious about introducing a reason behind their behavior instead of vilifying one more than the other. YetI still wanted to display Mikoto's distrust and upset at this turn of events as a valid response. So, I wonder if I made him come off more sympathetic in comparison to the other.

On Mikoto's side I really wanted to highlight and extrapolate on these lines in particular,

"Why, hey why, I’m nowhere to be found." "I’m probably not to blame." "It’s probably nothing."

Really home in on that feeling of being so close to knowing something but being so afraid of the truth one pulls away from it out of self preservation.

Yet, with the other I really wanted to focus more on the external pressures and since of wrongness in regards to the situation they were in. Along with the disdain one would rightfully feel for being blamed for everything that was going wrong. Double really did give me a lot more nuance to chew on when it came to them.

There's so much to analyze when it comes to it still but I am very happy you liked the fic and the feelings were properly conveyed.

In terms to this question. I may not have fully understood it so please forgive me,

I was curious, did Mikoto get to see MeMe? Or was he hearing the “other voice” in general? 

I said earlier I think the space from MeMe is Mikoto's one and having John there was in a way me implying they were meeting Mikoto where he was at.

My perception was,

The space in MeMe = Mikoto's Space

The space in Double = John's space

So, I believe Mikoto would be able to see it himself but be incapable of finding John in it. That's just my angsty interpretation of the,

"Why, hey why, I’m nowhere to be found."

Line. Since after a while I grew quite fond of the interpretation MeMe kind of being Mikoto looking for the other and having this discussion with the other. As Milgram is full of double meanings. I'd just interpretted for example this line,

"Please tell me it’s a mistake, that’s it’s a lie. That I’m right, I’ll forgive you If you tell me now."

As not only being directed at the audience but the other (John) as well.

Though that's just how i enjoy looking at it. Ah, this response is probably longer than you were expecting. But yeah that's mostly all of the thoughts that went into writing it and how I feel about it after Double's release.

So, in regards to your question in Mikoto's part where he was hearing the voices and the other speaks for a bit it was more so as though he spaced out for a moment. He didn't really see the space himself. While at the beginning of the others they were just hanging out there to feel closer to Mikoto in a way. Hope that makes sense.

[sneak-a-cat]

ough ough oh no... i just saw this post (its really cool art plus the rest of this post won't make sense without looking at it) and began getting a bit emotional because the prompt was time travel right? and the caption was "going back to save her" and obviously Barbra is in the drawing, so she is who they are saving. However in the process that will completely change how Nancy see's herself and acts in a lot of ways. Barb going missing and No One listening was what drove her to bond with Jonathan in their mutual search, since Barb died that was what pushed her to want to kill the Demogorgon, Nancy wanted to expose the lab because she wanted to give Barbras parents closure not just that though, throughout this whole journey the truth of a situation and making people Listen to what she is telling them has become incredibly important to Nancy. So even in season 3 where Barb is seemingly not as easily connected to Nancys character or less relevant the fact that Nancy is working in journalism is directly tied to her death. By 1986 Nancy is a very different person (Good As It Gets by Little Hurt is a very good song about that fact imo) but this time we get a call backs and see her reacting to someone talking about Barb dying in a chemical leak and we see how desperate she is to try and understand the fuckery occurring and how she reacted to Freds death and-

and going back would change her so fucking much? and robin only really got to know nancy in season 4 so can you fucking imagine how confusing it would be talking to a version of nancy who's first instinct is not to kill the problem? a version who hasn't gone literally to hell and back for her best friend (i will never not bring up portal to hell tree and nancy just fucking going for it)? the version of her who was fucking silly and did silly things and let herself be a teenager?

AAAAAAAAAA not only that but remember how its a Thing that since its a small town most people know each other?? well robin may have seen the barest changes in Nancy from afar and just not really cared? and can you imagine them talking about how much Nancy changed over time? and Robin realising what sort of (heart-breaking) things like how Nancy dated Steve for a year and suddenly was going out with Jonathan Byers (??) and what was actually going on behind the scenes of all that?

AND and! and its nancy who is with Robin! so its a direct fucking comparison between both versions of her!

god i am so insane for this concept... something about Nancy thinking about everything that changed about her and why and then wondering whether they are saving Barb or if they are saving Her in this situation and Robin just hanging around for The Saddest Introspection of All Time... something about Robin seeing how 1983 Nancy is interacting with people and reacting to things being So Confused because sure, she was different at 15, aren't we all?, but she seems like a completely different person? but then 1983 Nancy will do Something that is intrinsically Her that Robin just becomes more intrigued by just how all of the supernatural shit changed her...

❄, 🔥, 🌈, and ☀️ for the ask game !!!

thank you henrike i hope ur doing well 💛

☀️ Sun - What's your favorite part of your WIP?

ough since i’m writing paramour ig i’ll answer for that wip and it’s basically just the actual lengthy overly flowery and descriptive prose has actually been so much fun for me. i should write all my wips like this (i can’t bc it doesn’t fit the vibe of every story so i won’t but ough i love it)

❄️ Snow - Who is your coldest / most stoic character and how do they express themselves (if at all)?

i very much enjoy making stoic characters so i do have several of different varieties. the MOST stoic characters would probably be

jenna magboo (jenna the reaper): because she has flat affect and she has no intonation in her voice whatsoever (until yehna partially possesses her). she usually expresses herself through her actions and she’s very physically affectionate with people she likes. her and carlos hold hands and cuddle quite often and she tends to cling onto people’s clothing as a means of showing care.

rosmarin “red” (red death & the oracle’s favor): our lovely mc who has severe trauma and thus has an extremely difficult time expressing her emotions. she doesn’t tend to show her feelings because showing emotions makes her have physical panic attacks. she does grow a bit better at expressing them through getting closer to hel but she’ll always probably be awkward.

kalifia fandel (tcol): she doesn’t express emotions mostly because being [redacted] she is not familiar with the range of emotions that terraneans feel or can express. she comes across as cold and heartless but she’s honestly very, very neutral about most things. the only thing she expresses any emotion towards for a long time is flowers. she likes them and presses them in notebooks. but other than that she has no interest in being palatable to others because that would impede her mission regardless.

tomb (the graves we dug): similarly to kalifia, tomb is a man bound by duty. being a bounty hunter, attachments get you killed or the other party killed and it’s better to simply detach yourself from all things. he thinks graves and dove are in their predicament because they both care too much. this being said, he isn’t completely cut off from his emotions. he’s just very good at repression and restraint. in another life (his youth) he used to be very expressive and still could be if he chose to. so it’s less that he can’t express care or himself, he just doesn’t.

🔥 Wildfire - Who is your most emotional character and why?

oh god i have a Lot of emotional characters but let’s see if i can narrow it down to my beacons of emotional range:

marco azarola etxebarria (vdtrt): he just has a zest and zeal and love of life, literal ray of sunshine who can draw virtually anyone into his orbit. probably the biggest extrovert of all the vlad protection squad (runner ups being awilda and darren respectively). he’s one of those who doesn’t let his circumstances damper his vibe. +weed helps LMAO.

piper fairwind & san dearborn (tcol): yeah these two but in opposite directions. piper is similar to marco except it’s somewhat more internal. she feels everything intensely as she’s only had herself to rely on for much of her life and in turn she had to become her own advocate, her own cheerleader, her own parent etc. it’s an attitude born out of necessity perhaps. for san it’s the opposite because she was constantly spurned and pushed to the side so she had to fight for what little respect she could get. because of that they tend to run hot tempered and take things that may just be jokes too seriously;;; especially when either of them are with each other emotions are WILD and all over. i just know someone out there is going to ship them and lemme just say, i understand.

thei (god eater): it’s a bit of a cheat to put him here but it’s true. being the last god eater, thei has access to the entire combined consciousness of the singularity within him; so thats hundreds of thousands of emotional ranges potentially at any given moment. he’s kind of like an extreme empath LMAO. he actually tends to be more stoic to try and regulate these intense emotions, however when they get the better of him and he cries, his emotions literally can destroy the entire world basically. it’s why it’s a good thing he has taj to help him bc tbh he was barely holding on before taj came into his life.

🌈 Rainbow - What do you think makes your story unique / stand out?

round this out with paramour again but tbh i feel like the entire premise and the style i’m going for is sort of a slight modernization of types of gothic adjacent stories we haven’t really seen in books the past some odd years. also the fact that it’s got an all black cast for the subject matter and themes is definitely different!

[hydrangeawise]

Alright gang! El Cazador de la Bruja EP23 was painful and then very good and then once again painful!!

First things first: Ellis really healed Nadie with the power of her love, huh? Just made her glow all pretty and bam - healed! (I don't really think she fell unconscious from relief - though that may be a part of it - but using magic has always had the effect of her falling unconscious for a bit because of the energy it takes I think, but anyway!) It really hit her too that she hurt Nadie, although not intentionally, and that she had no way to really control it I suppose. I'm a bit miffed that Blue-eyes went all "Yes, you did this." because it felt to me like she was intentionally making it sound like Ellis did it on purpose, so that Ellis would be very aware of the consequences that using her power would/could bring. But also, isn't Ellis suffering enough already? :(

She didn't even want to look at Nadie, she just walked away with the intention of never seeing her again and ough! That hurt! Interesting was the way the grandpa interacted with her (and given the way that he apparently was controlled as well, the way he talked to Nadie, though I'm not as sure about that one) because to me it sounded like encouragement. Like "Yeah, it's not looking so great right now, but you're still learning and growing. It's going to get better." and that's not a bad advice (even though it was very bad timing because Ellis was obviously still reeling from Nadie being hurt). And it makes me wonder if it was a) a test of sorts to see how Ellis would react to the effects of her own power and b) given that she very much did not want to have them at all after the incident, tried to give her a more positive outlook which leads me to c) the question of: are the witches changing their mind when it comes to Ellis? Because encouraging her in that way seems rather weird if they want to get rid of her. But it's also possible that there is a catch in Ellis using her powers a lot, so maybe encouraging her is more of an effort to make that happen as soon as possible. Hmmm.

The whole scene was Camera Guy was overall - depressing. Like, I'm seriously starting to feel bad for that guy, especially after Nadie laid down her perspective of being 'free' and that it essentially meant 'being alone' down. Because first and foremost, Camera Guy seem to want company. Very specific company, mind you, and everything around getting said company is also pretty yikes, but the craving/intense desire to not be alone anymore? To have someone with you, looking out for you, talking to you? That is very much relatable. And well, with how Glasses Guy has apparently infiltrated that guy's whole body and mind, it's no wonder that he's losing it. Especially given how Glasses Guy has been acting and talking so far.

The scene I was worried about the most, the one in which Nadie hugs Ellis closely from behind in the rain, was honestly the bestest most wholesome scene in the whole episode and it has made me so so so so happy! <3 Because Nadie wants Ellis to stay with her, to stay her partner, to continue traveling with her and aaah I'm having so many emotions about it! (I did sob a little bit into my emotional support orca.)

Unfortunately we ended the episode with glasses guy and a slightly upsetting preview so let me end it with this meme I specifically made to be used in situations like this:

[that-tall-queer-bassist]

🪹anon here again i didn' realize i had made so mistakes in the previous ask lol sorry it was part of my 2am feral sprees :pp anyways uh I wanted to ramble a bit more about ur fic b4 i go eep. So if I'm reading this right, the Watchers finally got rekt (hopefully) by intruders (<- ooooooh hoo👀) and that's when g escaped. I think dats a pretty cool idea, Watchers are always portrayed as these allknowing and powerful entities with barely any weaknesses in sight, so to see that they were beat up in ur fic by people is so refreshing. i hope They were nuked down to the size of an amoeba.

Also the thought of Grian being so lost and hurt and alone finally letting himself break down in the frail baby world is giving me emotional damage. him not understanding the hermits kindness and believing he himself incapable of being kind OUGH. I'm eueueueueue.

I just want to hug the eyeball waffle boi give him soup and tuck him 2 bed. he's such a sad sad hurt little creachur🥺 pls

At least now he has The Entity and Scar and maybe later on the rest of the hermits 🥺

Also the fact that everyone already knew he was there and saw him but didn't do anything about it is a funny thought. G really thought he was being sneaky the entire time meanwhile everyone else is like "yo i saw magic creachur fren in my backyard last night" or something lol.

ur a really good writer dude i find it really interesting and cool, it's rotating on the back of my mind at all times :)) i hope u have a good day and get all the good vibes and riches (snacks , quality eepy time, etcetc) u deserve I'ma come back and ramble lateerr I'ma go sleeep now-🪹

Hi again!!! 

You are always welcome to ramble about my fic /gen

You are right! The Watchers did get rekt, and they’re permanently gone because I realized I can write whatever I want XD They were indeed destroyed by intruders, who.. May end up revealed in the fic? So I don’t want to spoil that, but yes that’s when Grian escaped, because taking advantage of the chaos is one of my favorite things to see in any media :) I’m glad you like the idea! I’ve always liked the idea of so called gods being able to be killed, and it’s something I incorporate in as many places as I can because I’m just like that XD. 

I apologize for emotional damage, I will make it up to you in the next chapter, I promise. (yay it hit right tho :3)

I can assure you that he will get plenty of love from the hermits. He will be a bruised but not hurt creachur by the end of the fic. 

Yes! He has good friends, and is gaining more every chapter :D I don’t think I’ll be able to hit every hermit unfortunately, because that’s simply too many people, but yes. (slight spoiler, next chapter is full of friendship development)

Grian ain’t as sneaky as he’d like to believe, that’s for sure XD It’s one of the biggest details that inspired me from Watcher’s Care. I just love it so much. Just, the idea of becoming attached to and then aware of this being that you’ve never seen (except in my fic because I thought it was funny) I just love it so much. 

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Hope you got/get some good sleep! I really appreciate your rambles and the well wishes, and hope you get good vibes and riches as well <3

[skelemira]

Since Hyper asked for Bad Sanses hcs,,, 👉👈 Star Sanses hcs??? Also feel free to extend the trio to add Outer or anyone else!!

Ough

I gotchu boo <3333

Star Sanses Hcs incominggggggg

Blue is ever so slightly juuuuuuust a little bit plant obsessed. And by that I mean his house is a jungle and he made a community garden and handles a lot of the upkeep for it. He's actually really good at taking care of them, he has a very green thumb and he lovingly cares for all his plants. His favourites are the herbs, and he loves drying herbs and using them in recipes. He also studies medicinal plants and makes little remedies for his friends when they've got insomnia or anxiety or an upset stomach. I'm totally not projecting here bc I'm totally not fascinated by an herbs class I'm taking rn XDDD (I am kind of projecting with the green thumb though bc a lot of my plants are dying DX)

Dream loves to go swimming. He loves going to the beach, but lakes are also very nice, just anywhere that he can just sit on a floatie and just look at the sky and float along. Lazy rivers at water parks are his absolute favourite, and he does sometimes fall asleep on them. He can sometimes convince Blue to go along with him and they just chat and watch the clouds go by.

Ink (the real reason you requested the star Sanses huh Saph XDDDD I know what you're up to) is a bit of an adrenaline junkie. He does like to do activities like rollercoasters or sky diving, because if he forgets what he's doing, it doesn't put him in danger, because he's not in control of what he's doing. Plus, when he goes skydiving, he can surf through the clouds on Broomy. And that just looks hecka cool.

Now for some x reader hcs~

Blue isn't usually much one for cuddling but whenever you're doing anything and you have a hand free he can and will grab it every single time, interlacing your fingers and rubbing his thumb (phalange??? I don't think the thumb is a phalange but idek lol) on the back of your hand.

Dream is like. Super physically affectionate but he will almost never initiate. I'm talking like if you grab his hand and hold it for a minute the next thing you know you are in his lap and you are now a teddy bear. Your hair is being played with and you are being snuggled into oblivion. Also bc I am highkey projecting he will absolutely melt at the small touches. Like if you're hugging and you rub his back a bit or if you hold his face and like caress his cheek with your thumb you will have a pile of goo in front of you and depending on his emotional state he may very well burst into tears.

Ink calls you his muse. Unironically and all the time. Bc you literally are, look at what he doodles in the dirt while Dream explains the battle plan and you'll see your own face staring back at you. Even his abstract pieces have the curl of your eyelashes or the smoothness of your lips or the dimple in your cheek when you laugh.

Also because I was rereading some of my old oneshots I was reminded, @saphirathedragon, that this man is a complete and utter simp. Having trouble falling asleep? He will make you hot chocolate or talk with you until you fall asleep or just sit there and draw and keep you company to drive away the bad dreams. Feeling a bit hungry? No worries, he has a list of your favourite foods on his scarf! Having a bad day? He will just like. Beat somebody up if he has to, or just generally ruin their day, depending on the amount of anger and vengeance you're feeling, but he'll also just tell you jokes he's written down, and even though you've heard them all before, he tells them like they're new, so you laugh every time. This man is a SIMP and we love him for it <3.

And now bc I just remembered u mentioned him OUTER!!!!

Roller skating. First thing my brain shouted at me... For some reason XDD but part of me thinks he would love those little light shows they put on sometimes where they make the room kinda dark and shine spotlights around and play music kind of thing? Those just scream Outer to me lol especially bc you don't have to do a lot to roller skate, just kinda push off every once in a while and glide, maybe do tricks if he feels like it, but otherwise he can just sit back (and maybe cheat a bit with gravity magic shhhh) and admire the way the disco ball reminds him of stars.

Outer is a little gentleman. The type to pull out your chair for you (whether it's him or his gravity magic is a toss up lol) or give you his jacket when it's cold (the cold just goes right through him eyyyyyy) or hold your heavy backpack. Also I just hc that he is a great communicator, unlike SOME of the other Sanses idk what about him screams that to me but he is always just down to sit down and have a talk about your needs or how you're feeling. Maybe he needs a bit of prompting to talk about himself but if you just nudge him a bit he will open right up to you.

Alrighty boo thank you for requestingggggggg!!!! Other people are still open to request if they would like to! Man I'm all soft now XDDD these are just so cute,,,,

god the argument scene in french is so good cause of how emotive that snufkin performance is. he's so intense and passionate and on the angy lines he's like a little barking chihuahua

also the part later when they both shout (moomin cause of the beans and snuff cause of the avalanche) is hilarious cause they're so dramatic 😭😂

and ough I think this may be my favourite version (wellll maybe barring the original english?) of the confession scene so far cause HNNNNG snufkin's voice wavers a bit on the last line that gets cut off and also mamma greets them with a "coucou vous deux!" which is très mignon
