trick or treat! what are your opinions on candy corn, and do you agree that the Reese's Pumpkin is the superior shape for a reese's cup?

After careful consideration (and excessive testing) Tiny Vessel arrived at the conclusion that he does not have a true preference of shape other than one might be more appropriate for this time of the year. His only true qualm is, that both are way too big.

Hiii, you still making fanchilds?? I just wanted to ask you if you could draw the fanchild of Cinnamon cookie and my oc (From my secondary account) Blackberry tart?? Here is a drawing of him

Sorry it took a while, but here we are, this is Cinnamon Tart Cookie

So Cinnamon Tart here is a circus performer, I think a harlequin? They know magic, and probably use it in their performances. They could have probably been a skilled wizard, but they chose the performer lifestyle

(I’m gonna be honest, I never figured out their gender, so nonbinary it is)

As seen by the sketch, they curl their hair, though it’s naturally straight. Not only that, but the cheek marks are makeup. There’s probably also a difference in how they act on stage and in real life, but I don’t really know. They’re probably more whimsical on stage

They also have a performing partner. I don’t know who, they’re probably not another fankid, but they likely have a contrasting color palette of orange outfit and purple hair. They’re pretty close, even outside of work

Sorry I don’t really have much in terms of their personality, just the vibe

I don’t entirely remember where the name came from, since I came up with it months ago, but I’m pretty sure I based them off of apple cinnamon tarts. I think it was just trying to combine cinnamon with tarts, but it works

Apple cinnamon tarts:

So the reason Cinnamon Tart has all those round parts is because of the patterns on the tarts when I looked them up, and I wanted to incorporate that. They are supposed to have apple in their dough

I wonder if their colors are too gaudy, but at the same time, they’re a circus performer, so I guess it makes sense

I also wonder if they look not enough like either parent, though which one keeps flip flopping. Maybe because of that, it’s fine, but I’m not sure

Also I thought Blackberry Tart had a beauty mark, hence why I gave Cinnamon Tart one, but now I see he doesn’t, so oh well

And I don’t remember much else, so I guess I’ll end it here. Sorry the description’s a bit sparse. I didn’t have much of a thought process, just vibes, but I think they turned out good

Well in any case, you like them!

Okay listen, playing the Continuance and words cannot describe the effects Ruan Mei has on me. This isn’t like a “Omg her design and voice 😍” kind of thing, this is an “Oh my god HER WRITING?? HER IDEOLOGY?? IM NEVER RECOVERING” kind of thing

The way that HSR handles its divinity of the Aeons, not only has them stretch out across the universe causing multiple factions to pop up in relation to said Aeons with all kinds of outlooks and perspectives about them based upon their paths, their actions and their “blessings”, but also down to individual characters perspectives and relationships regarding individual Aeons and just the concept of Aeonhood in general is AAAHHJJ ITS SO GOOD

I need more Ruan Mei, I need to see more of her desire to create an Emanator and become an Aeon herself. I need that explored so much more I want to know so much more

Her treatment of her creations and outlook regarding her own research is something so interesting to me that I literally can’t put into words. Like the conflicting nature of her feelings regarding them and how they align with her objectives and looking at her research alongside her general demeanor is so????

I need more of her in my life, I need more characters who question the nature of Aeons for whatever reason at all like I love

[raetreaderarts]

w. woman………

PERSONALLY I headcanon her as having a little bit of muscle cause how else is she gonna lug that big ass cannon around (also so she can pick me up and spin me around and go weeeeeeeee)

Morpheus is a truly fascinating character to look at from a moral perspective because he's such a dick but about 50% of the time it's on accident and the other 50% it's on purpose, but not because of any genuine hate or malice just... poorly directed sadness. Neither of these reasons make it okay, but they make it damn hard to see where the lines are regarding guilt, blame, and forgiveness. As if this isn't enough, hearing Morpheus' take on things (or appalling lack thereof) along with some others makes it even harder to grapple with.

When I'm analyzing this first 50%, I often come back around to asking whether someone should punished for something they didn't know was wrong, which is a normal hard and fast 'no', but this someone has had millinea to find out it is wrong and correct it and hasn't, which then pulls me into questioning where the ignorance becomes willful. Especially when the individual is so blindsided by the idea that there might even be something wrong. Morpheus is cold and aloof, which I put down to a general temperament thing; the problem is that he can't afford to be. This is, quite literally, a major reason why the series ends the way it does. He wasn't particularly mean to Lyta, just not very kind or understanding. He was busy and distracted and hurting and didn't explain what was going on or offer much sympathy (none in the comics). Is it okay that he did that? No. Do I understand why and feel sad that a trait that is innocuous to most was deadly to him? Yes, of course always, yes.

The other 50% where Morpheus is trying to hurt people, it's born out of his own hurt, as most cruelty is. He is not a malicious being; cruel, but not malicious. The way he treats Destruction is from his own wish to escape the weight of their existence and a frustration that someone did it, someone did it and he couldn't stop or join them. He doesn't actually hate Destruction, Dream clearly blames himself at least in part for his leaving and seems to miss him as much he wants to respect or exile him for the deciding to do so. He's on the fence about how to act and overcompensates by being desperately terrible, which is what he always fucking does. That's the worst part! I chose Destruction specifically as an example because the situation lays bare the core of his cruelty very, very well. Nada and Orpheus are good examples as well. Dream doesn't like not knowing what to do, doesn't like being scared and can't stand the idea of being thought of as anything less than perfectly confident and controlled at all times (wow, so healthy!). He doesn't want people to look at him and see someone who needs comfort so he doesn't let them look at all, and ensures they don't by pushing them away at the slightest offense. If they brush against an insecurity or hurt, he's trained himself to lash out rather than lick the wounds. He condemns Nada to Hell when she sees who he is and rejects him for it; He leaves Orpheus on an island for a thousand years because he reminded Dream that he can't fix everything, or even keep those he loves safe; He's so unforgiving and rude towards Destruction because he did what Dream desperately needed to do but couldn't.

Thing is, these are both fixable flaws with obvious sources, but he has spent so long living by them that he doesn't know any other way to do so. Maybe it makes me an apologist—I'm willing to acknowledge that I can tend to hold a warped perspective on things—but I see his core personal moral failings as holding himself to an ordinary standard of behavior when an extraordinary one is needed and feeling that somehow his power and suffering makes him better than just about everyone else (now think about that and Lucifer and lose your mind briefly.) He isn't, on the whole, awful and irredeemable. He's flawed and he's trying, but when one is endless there is very little room for such a thing.

Then I end up asking the question: did he deserve it? does anybody? And that's... hard. Morpheus caused real hurt and damage, intentional or not, across space and time. Does he deserve to die for it? I would like to say no, but I would also see reason in saying yes. The questions get big, applicabilty of death penalty and impact of intention on action big, and that's usually when I stop the train. The point of Morpheus' weird and complex morality is to drive the train straight into the sunset, which I fully encourage those who can do it safely to do but if I did, we would be here until tumblr was ash.

So I can't offer an answer with a neat little bow, or even a particularly persuasive argument as to the final moral determination of Morpheus as a character, but that wasn't necessarily my goal. I can tell you one thing for sure: he would majorly benefit from one (1) positive and healthy friendship.
