#i really cant help but...just be so excited to get to experience IN THE GAME!!!

[evelynpr]

I am genuinely so moved by the Natlan Live Symphony music. My god it's so beautiful, so power, so sincere, so much- it's everything I could ever ask for. Hoyo-mix genuinely never disappoints I swear.

I just wished so so bad they gave the same respect and care for the characters, story, and world. If the whole of Natlan and Sumuru were done this well, I think Genshin could have really done something truly incredible in video game history, or even entertainment history.

But no, they are still blatantly racist, colorist, and such. Until then, KEEP BOYCOTTING!!! DEMAND BETTER REPRESENTATION- BECAUSE THEY CAN DO IT!!!

[jealousmartini]

List of things I am excited to experience in my K-pop idol dr(s) !

∘₊ ✧───────────────────✧₊∘

💭 — CONCERTS AND CROWD WORK

I FORGOT TO ADD SOMETHING HERE☠️☠️

Doing crowd work with my fans while performing is SUCH A DREAM FOR ME OMG. That's like one my main reasons I'm excited to have a concert because I want to interact with my audience; exchanging glances, throwing stuff for one of them to have and of course performing at my best.

🍊 — COLLABS AND HANGOUTS

Okay okay, I know I have yapped in the past about being excited to meet BTS, but first, let me name a list of groups/idols I am so hyped to be in a 2-foot radius of because sometimes a girl cant help but shriek at the thought of them🙈:

NEWJEANS ||

I FUCKING LOVE THESE GIRLS SO MUCH NO ONE GETS IT. Just a little fun fact, MKB(my own gg) is considered to be like an older sister gg to NEWJEANS because they are both famous 5 member girl groups. Some people even say that NEWJEANS' aesthetic is like a younger sister to MKB's; even though MKB isn't all that "mature" it does give off an older sister feel in contrast to NEWJEANS' AND ITS SOOO CUTEEE😭😭

WONYOUNG — IVE ||

In my dr, Me and Wony are really good friends, and we have each others contacts. I've gone to battle for her in my tiktoks and tweets against antis (I am very much popular for this too since it's considered controversial to speak out in defence for another idol and she isn't the only idol I've fought for😭😭) cus she's literally the sweetest idol ever?? I actually love her to death.

CHAEYOUNG, NAYEON, SANA, MOMO, JIHYOU — TWICE ||

In my opinion all of TWICE is so cute and I freaking love them all, but I am closest to these five. They're some of my closest girl friends because they were the first friends i made (other than my members lmao) and I love them all so much please I can't wait to meet them (especially since MKB and TWICE both exist under JYP so we're basically always hanging out)

BTS ||

No, because you guys. the dating, fighting and relationship rumours that are gonna be floating around me are gonna be CRAZYY cus of how many frequent interactions I have with the group/ the members individually and how much i talk about them because I am SO down bad for them PLEASE (but we can't let them and army know you guys shhh🤫) and I also just be having the LOUDEST MOUTH EVER🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️

But aside from how badly I want each and every one of them, Me and MKB are super cool friends with BTS; usually, 1 or 2 of us will visit them for whatever reason needed and whatever occasion like watching them behind the scenes, sometimes, we will appear on their lives in person or on phone (cus we have each others contacts😝🤞🏾), we always wish them happy birthday (as they do back to us), and few times some of us will make special appearances on their game challenges on RUN BTS too.

Also, I'd say I'm closest to being with Jungkook, Jimin, Namjoon, and Taehyung- BUT I get along very well with Yoongi, Jin, and Hoeseok too. I just hangout with those 4 the most out of all of them. [EDIT// Actually I do hang out with Jin too what am I talking about]

STRAYKIDS AND ATEEZ ||

More hot men. Idk what to say more about this LMAO😭😭

💭 — LIVESTREAMS AND BIRTHDAYS

MKB is most infamous (other than our music of course) for our ridiculous lives. But my favourite kind of live is the birthday one. The moment of appreciation and love sent from fans and the celebration from my family members and staff is so precious and important to me. The thought into the gifts and the messages mean so much more to me than what anyone could imagine and it gives so much meaning to birthdays because they are so important to me.

🍊 — PRODUCING, FILMMAKING AND BTS

I have always been a big music nerd and my urge to produce music for a loving and interested fanbase makes me feel so warm. it's just what my silly little heart was made to do.

I have also been super interested in being involved with the work behind the scenes , not just being in the scenes of our music videos. I really want to have a say in what the concept of the video to match the music will look like, the outfit ideas, the hidden lore in the videos. It's just such a dream come true for me, and I'm even excited for whatever travelling needs to be done, too.

💭 — STUPID SPECULATIONS/RUMOURS ?

Being nosey and attention seeking is a deadly combo. Always gotta know something, always gotta be talked about somehow (and I usually prefer the fake dating allegations cus they're just so funny and sometimes cute depending on who I'm being shipped with lol)

🍊 — FOOD

I am THE BIGGEST foodie there is I swear. I have always craved and cried to eat real Korean (and East asian) food without thinking about my money or my skin as well as usual meals too and as much as I want (because I scripted my manager let's me eat anything I want since I don't gain weight (I scripted this for all idols tbh cus I just want to see wony eat SOMETHING😭🙏🏾))

💭 — V.I.P STUFF

When I say VIP stuff, I mainly mean 1st class vacations and trips. I freaking LOVE exploring and travelling.. ON LAND. When I shift though, this will be my first time flying on a plane and I'm kinda excited, kinda frightened. I have a slight fear of heights so I'm gonna have to brave through it and try not to throw up or something.

🍊 — FANMADE GIFTS (fanimations, fanfictions, fan art, real life gifts, fan edits, etc.)

I am so freaking hyped for this stuff you guys stop. One of my main love languages is gift giving and receiving, and I already get so hyped when I get a gift on a random day from a family memeber😭😭.

The fan edits and fanfiction are gonna be crazy tho omg the ships..😭😭😭 (I WILL be looking out for the ship fanfics best believe.)

💭 — GOOGLEBOX BUT ITS KPOP IDOLS

"STOP TALKING ABOUT GOOGLEBO-" STFU AND LISTEN HOE🤬

Okay, so before I explode for excitement, I had this idea to make take the Googlebox celebrities and make a K-pop idols edition, and it couldn't be more perfect. Of course, you might be worried about how little privacy and time to myself off camera I may have now that I've added this into my dr, but never worry!

I scripted MKB to get 2 weeks to a month long breaks depending on stuff like exhaustion, injuries, meeting families, or just having a well-deserved vacation. I also scripted that our fanbase is very respectful of our space and don't bombard us if we're spotted in public.

Edit: O.m.g applies to all the things I said about MKB too guys I just cba editing everything add o.m.g in rn

Honestly, I do recommend just launching right on into the ao3 tag for ISAT even if you aren't super familiar with ao3. Just be sure to filter out anything you don't want to see!

Consider this a good starting point ^^

Carol Danvers x teen!reader - just a teenager

Hiiii, could I request prompt 15: “why are you staring at me” with Carol Danvers and a teen!reader please? - Anon💜

15: “why are you staring at me?”

Sitting in the avengers compound, you swung your legs back and forth as you nibbled at the sandwich Nat had brought in your for.

“Hey Nat?” You asked.

“Yeah?”

You looked up at her, and you gestured for her to come over so she did.

“What’s wrong?”

“There’s somebody coming into the compound…” you whispered.

“Are they a threat?”

You stayed silent for a moment, and then you shook your head.

“No, they have immense power but no sense of threat. Just incredibly powerful.”

Nat ruffled your hair.

“Thanks kid.”

You hummed, picking up your plate you wondered down the hallway, and you walked into the room where Bruce was standing with Steve.

“Hello.”

“Hey kiddo, what’s up?” Steve asked.

“I’m not talking to you, there’s somebody behind me.”

They looked behind you and you felt Steve grab your arm, moving you behind him.

Standing with your back against the super soldiers, you carried on eating your food while resting against him.

“She’s not a threat.” You said.

“No offence kid, but you cant know that.” Rocket said.

You shrugged a little bit, and you made your way around Steve, wondering back into the room you were eating in.

Sitting on the table, you listened as they all came in and you glanced towards them before turning away.

“Who’s this?”

“Sorry, this is (Y/N), Fury was looking after them, (Y/N) this is Carol Danvers.” Bruce said.

“I know, Fury spoke of her sometimes.”

“So, they said that you can sense power, is that true?” Carol asked.

“Yeah, I can tell if somehow has a power, what it is and how dangerous it is.”

You set your plate down and you heard somebody getting up, they walked behind you, plating their hands on your shoulders.

Smiling a little bit you looked upwards.

“Thor.”

“What do you think of this woman (Y/N)?” He asked.

You hummed a little bit.

“She’s helpful.”

“Right get outta here kid, let us talk, go see if Tony wants anything.” Nat said.

You let Thor pull you up, and you left the room making your way to Tony.

When he left the compound you went with him, but when things started going south with everything and they were all dragged back together you couldn’t go with them.

You didn’t have the strength they needed, and nobody wanted to put you in harms way.

So, instead you travelled and explored, waiting for the phone call that would bring you back home.

When the call came, you were excited to be reunited with the man who was looking after you, and you knew he wasn’t alone.

“I need you to stay with Danvers for a while.” Fury said.

“Why?”

“Because there’s still a lot here we need to sort out and until it’s safe I want you out of harms way.”

“Okay, good enough for me.”

Carol didn’t really know what to do with you, she didn’t know how to interact with you or what to say.

Sure, she knew how to interact with teenagers but you didn’t seem like normal teenagers, you spent a lot of time listening to audiobooks, you played card games by yourself.

Sitting in her chair, she looked at you as you stared straight ahead and you smiled a little.

“Why are you staring at me?”

“Anybody would be thrilled to be out here, you don’t seem to care, how come?”

“Ah, I see Fury never told you everything.”

“Everything?”

You turned in your chair to look at her and you smiled a little.

“I was a hydra experiment, the side affects is loss of sight. I can’t see, but I have an incredible sense of perception and sense for superhuman powers.”

“I’m sorry…”

“It’s fine, not your problem not mine either. It’s why Fury looked after me.”

Carol nodded her head and she reached out with her hand only for you to slap it away.

“I can see the aurora of your power Carol, I know when you’re nearby.”

You stood up and stretched.

“So, can you sense this?”

You ducked as she slowly swung her arm towards you.

You laughed a little and turned around to face her.

“Do your worst.”

Carol laughed and did it again, watching as you easily evaded her pathetic attempts at an attack.

She could see that you enjoyed people not tiptoeing around you trying to be careful for no reason.

You had a natural talent for fighting, and clearly had made use if the powers you were forced to have, but deep down you were just a teenager.

You wanted to fight and cause trouble and she could see that in the pranks you kept pulling and mischievous look you had.

That’s why Fury asked her to take you in.

You needed somebody who could keep up with you and let you live a semi normal life, you needed a family and she needed that too

[ganondoodle]

I honestly find it impressive how totk managed to fuck up so bad as a sequel. But truth be told, good gameplay aside, botw already was a whole lot of nothing as far as story and lore were concerned. I just feel like amnesiac Link going out into the world to save some voice is not a good premise, even though botw Zelda has an interesting personality. Idk, I guess botw felt like an experiment that was supposed to pay off in totk, but totk being a disappointment makes botw kind of feel like a waste of time as well

yes and no to that (in my opinion .. just gonna add that to be sure)

what hooked me in botw was less the story that was told and more what was implied, bc it seemed to imply so much, there was so much design that felt intentional- like an introduction to a world with subtle hints towards much much more that would be perfect to dive deeply into in an expansion or second part- just like you said

i personally am a sucker for big environments with enviromental storytelling more than direct dialog in your face- it might be a small detail to some but for me the choice of music, or how little and broken there was really spoke to me (in part bc i am very noise sensitive, id gladly spent hours in botws hyrule field, but id want to get out of twilight princesses hyrule field bc it would get unbearable to me after a while)

but mainly .. it was the world, botw made me feel like no other game has before, it felt so real to me, that this is a world with deep history, most of which unknown, so much mystery and things that existed with no explicit explanation (like man do i love botws dragons ...... and i will not forgive what totk did to them lore wise)-- like with the ancient shiekah especially, they were, or seemed, so drenched in lore you can only guess but yet it felt so intentional, or how calamtiy ganon was this strange being like a force of nature and the gerudo having had no king in so long it was basically forgotten it was ever a thing?? so much to speculate and think about, so much you could do with all those things; you probably didnt aim to get this kind of talk from me but when i talk i talk unfortunately, and botw is my second favorite zelda game (grinding my teeth to dust trying to ignore what totk did to its lore)

if you look at just whats told to you, botw isnt that special either (though at least coherent in itself lol) but its the world and design and mystery that got to me, that i care about so much, care that got almost utterly destroyed by totk bc it made me realize that there .. might have been no intention behind anything, it didnt mean anything actually

its a thing that hurts me so much to know, to think about, that totk cannot be separated from botw, they cheapen each other, people think its just botw+extra, when imo its more like .. botw again but worse, or them saying that botw was jsut a tech demo to the grand game that is totk (i couldnt disagree more to that wtf, totk is more of a tech demo for ultrahand tbh)

i cant even decide whats worse to me, the fact that botw isnt gonna get that deep lore dive in a second part that got me so excited like i never was before after the first trailer, that everything i cared about in it isnt gonna have a follow up ever, the knowledge that there might be no intention and no meaning behind anything in their games, that the next games might be like that too, that its inseperable from totk in the worst way, or that they only damage each other, botw functions better on its own than totk does, but together it worsens both

(i basically just said what you said in long form .. sorry- though i do feel more positively about the amnesia thing in botw, theres tragedy and emotional weight in it and helps immensely to let you and link explore the world like for the first time- plus its a drawback to an otherwise pretty overpowered piece of tech/magic- unlike some other things in a certain other game)

Snice Conner/ Kon-el is half Kryptoniton, would some of your Hcs still count?

Like Conner would be affected by sent too?

If that's so, can we get a Conner x Reader (He/Him) ?

I think it would be great if Conner had a crush on the reader, he might try to steal some of reader's sweaters/ hoodies without thinking. So to poke back the reader steals one of Conner's favorite shirts, the reader having a mischievous smile when he sees how flustered Conner is, to have the Reader smelling like him.

You can keep this fluff, or make it a little NSFT, I'll let you decide!

Conner Kent x male reader

Headcanons

(Ive run out of young justice conner gifs, so have this titans one instead)

Always hype to write about my kryptonian headcanons

-          Conner wouldn’t realize what he was doing in the beginning, stealing your stuff like he did. It would just be a deep urge of his, to smell like you or have your scent close to him.

-          So little by little as you two hang out, he would just bring some of your hoodies or sweaters back to his room, resorting to even wearing them every now and then.

-          You would most likely realize before Conner himself, seeing as he isn’t as subtle as he thinks he is when he borrows some of your stuff, especially when he doesn’t give it pack and it just ends up on a big pile on his bed.

-          So, when you start stealing shirts and hoodies back, that primal part of Conners brain immediately is awake, hyper focused on you. He especially gets antsy when you walk around wearing his clothes, smelling like him.

-          He starts chuffing and purring at a frequency only other kryptonians can hear, that feral part of his mind so pleased that you are wearing his scent and smelling like him. It makes him want to pull you into his arms and never let go.

 -          You two keep up this game for a while, swapping clothes back and forth without ever actually saying anything. And it only makes that part of Conners brain go a little extra wild. Especially when he one day catches you going around in one of his t-shirts and just a pair of boxers.

-          At some point he realizes you gotta be doing this on purpose, as you smirk and snicker at his flustered reactions. It makes him growl at the frequency normal people cant hear, feeling something in his chest about being teased that way.

-          It makes him want to mark his territory, but he feels embarrassed about wanting to smother you even more in his scent and even mark you as his. So, you’ll most likely have to take the step in that direction.

-          But when you get the ball rolling there’s no end to it, expect so many hugs and so much scenting, expect him to suck hickeys all over your body and lick you all over, especially in areas that gather a lot of your smell.

-          You’ll also have to learn to live with just how excited smelling your scent or musk can be for him, though it probably comes as a surprise to the both of you the first time he has an orgasm just huffing your armpit.

 -          After that time you both start experimenting a bit more, seeing if its just your scent or something else. This resorts to Conner wearing even more of your clothes, and at this point your wardrobes have just been completely mixed.

-          No one is surprised to see you two wear the others clothes, and no one is surprised to see Conner rubbing his face all over your neck, or to see hickeys and bitemarks all over your torso in the locker room.

-          Be prepared for the kryptonian libido, there is no mercy when you really get Conner going. You will be seeing God and wrung dry like an empty Juicebox, and he still wont be satiated.

-          That’s when its good to have some of your workout clothes or shirts you’ve worn all day laying around, as it helps Conner get off on his own as you catch a break so you can feel your legs again. It isn’t half bad watching him ride his toys with your shirt against this nose either, it really does something to your ego.

-          Afterwards you always cuddle, and Conner purrs even louder even though you cant hear it. He’s told you about it at some point, so you can feel its there in spirit. He’s like a space heater when you cuddle, so you never have to worry about being cold. It’s a nightmare during the summer though.

So, I watched the first episode of “Those About To Die” on Peacock.

I enjoyed it, and Im willing to do write ups if folks would be interested…

Since I wana talk about details, and I dont wana spread spoilers, everything is below the readmore.

What I liked: 🔵 And what I disliked: 🟠

Total Ranking: 8/10 - very good, worth the watch 👍

🟠 It dove into the Intrigue right away, which made it hard to watch while doing other things, but I can appreciate a show that grabs you by the shoulders and shoves you down into the couch to pay attention.

🔵 It wasn’t boring, quite the contrary, I felt fully engaged throughout the episode. Theres a lot of small moving parts to the story, and it orchestrates together incredibly well so far, even for Episode One. The writing is very well done, which is a lynchpin for me on a show like this. You cant pretend to be an intrigue type series without a proper plot. And, in my opinion, they’ve set their plots well right away. Tenax getting those shares in Blue was a great con, which had clearly been going a while, but we only saw the tail end of it. I see this little setup as a great look at how the writers DO their work. Connections matter, money does more than talk, and if you play the game wrong, you die. Don’t trust anyone.

🔵 I REALLY enjoyed the historical aspects of the first episode. Like, yes, this plot happened, its a historical fiction and a number of these characters exist in history, but its not just that. Its the small details, the different knives in different cultures, the veterinary care of race horses, the deities from more than just the main roman pantheon, the drinkware, the VARIOUS clothes from various cultures and climates…. And yes, women often went topless when they were a sxwrkr. Gotta advert.

🔵 ON THAT SUBJECT: can we talk about “3 sesterce… and Im tighter than both of them.” MY BOY, YOU ARE RIZZIN TOO HARD AND I LOST IT. Please, please let him be in future episodes. Omfg….

🟠 I am forced to concede the accuracy isnt PERFECT, the horses wore modern driving bridles to go with their ancient styled chariots. However, Im realistic about how many horses are trained today to pull anything without blinders, and how much safer modern bridles are. I’ll also note: I absolutely saw the animal handler grab the horse differently (calmly) before the riot surrounded it, then direct the horse to dance in the crowd. Great training with the horse! Bad camera angle. Lol

🔵 I also really like this cast so far. Everyone fills their roles incredibly well.

Hopkins doesnt even need an introduction, the mans a legend and brings all his experience to the stage with him every time. -chefs kiss-

Rheon was great in GOT, he plays calculatingly unhinged exceptionally well. But I wont lie, seeing him in a more commanding, level headedly calculating person?

Hashim….. HASHIM!!! Im SO excited to see where his character goes. We haven’t seen much of him in Ep 1 just yet, but he’s clearly going to be one of the main players. Im not familiar with him as an actor, but I’ve enjoyed his performance so far, and I REALLY appreciate the story being told.

Martins is also incredible. She does a fantastic job of knowing the danger her characters children are facing, but also knowing she HAS to play her cards right to save them. She personifies the strength and determination of a mother perfectly.

🔵 Quite honestly, I have to give points to that whole plot-line in general. That point of view is something we’ve had hidden from us (in America) for so long, that I think a LOT of people have… become calloused. I hope seeing it will potentially help others come to an empathetic understanding. This isn’t glossing over what happened, or whats likely to happen to any of the three children.

🔵 I also want to gush over actually SHOWING the wider Roman Empire, we get to see the direct effect of their influence in both Africa and Spain so far. Egypt was their bread basket, and without that grain, youve got problems. The Berber Coast has animals, and people they want, and we see money exchanging hands for the purpose of those ends. We see how the locals were told they’d be treated fairly, paid properly, and even eventually become citizens, like the Spaniards, only to have those promises thrown aside as soon as the Romans have better money to make. These people gave the Empire everything it wanted, but the Empire is never satisfied.

We also get to appreciate how far west the empire went when the Spaniards are trying to sell their horses. (Plot-bunny: Andies are dancing horses, exceptionally athletic, and a prime choice for chariots, though, a standardbred is the usual choice for modern cart racers)

🟠 I will say the CGI isnt the best. You can tell exactly when they change from live action to CGI. But this is a minor issue for me tbh. Its passable CGI, and they use it to avoid putting animals or people in danger which, obviously, I appreciate. A chariot wreck was shown, annnnnd it was pretty darn accurate to how messy those would have been. Not good times y’all. Not good times. Also, the ramifications of a major concussion. Oof. At least the guy would have barely knew what was happening? Still.

🔵 The sound effects were enough without being over the top. Often times when theres gore to show, theres all these extra squelching noises and gratuitous blood… not this time. It’s actually… pretty durn accurate. Don’t ask how I know. I don’t wana tell you, and you dont wana know.

Overall, it was a really solid first episode, and I plan on watching the rest.

What makes Futaba Sakura from Persona 5 the autistic girlie ever of all time? Here's what the people have to say:

Futaba-related asks/reblogs: x This post will be updated after each round!

Image ID in alt text and under the readmore.

[Image ID. White slide with a screenshot of Futaba in the bottom left corner. She is surrounded by text boxes which read,

"She’s a hikkikomori and a hacker genius. She initially has bad social anxiety due to trauma and does not leave her room."

"She's just like me fr fr (im autistic girlie)"

"Generally described as being incredibly introverted and socially anxious, however having no problem opening up if the conversation is about something that interests her. She also has a deep interest in hacking and computers (if the protagonist claims to have built his own PC, she asks for the specific details on it, such as GPU, CPU, RAM, ect.) There are more details I feel are autistic but I'm not sure how to word them !!"

"Talks in Video Game references and wired expressions. At one point she leaves a conversation because an Anime she wanted to watch was on. Helped me come to terms with my own Autism. Covered her face with a weird mask and a towel (separate events) because she didn't want to show her face in Public. Gets pissed off that someone messes with the her Neo Featherman Figure (basically the Persona equivalent of Power Rangers or Super Sentai). Overall just a massive nerd."

"First of all: The way she sits . little gremlin girl. Second of all. Social awkwardness (she has SO MUCH). Third. She's 15 years old and an international hacker, i mean come on, you cant DO THAt unless youre at least a little autistic. 4. Constantly tries to wear things over her head to avoid being looked at. Five. Her room is the dirtiest place on the planet, filled with snacks and figurines etc. Sixth. Look come on please shes autistic"

"She has social anxiety, doesn't really understand social norms and relates a lot of her real life experiences to video games. She also hyperfixates on the things she's working on and says a lot of strange things without thinking about it."

"Futaba is intensely afraid of social interaction (living in her room for years, unable to exit the house without a meltdown), including her almost constantly wearing headphones (which, to be, read as sensory comfort items). She's only really comfortable around her close friends and family, around who she becomes a lot more excitable and energetic. She has deep and passionate interests in the things she loves, and tends to become hyper focused on whatever shes tasked herself with, even neglecting her own health during which. It's very easy to equate her love of video games to a special interest, as it influences the way she sees the world, to the point where she calls the main character her "key item", since he helps her agoraphobia, saying she needs to "level up" to improve her social skills. To top it all off, her voice actress, Erica Lindbeck, has stated that she played Futaba as if she was autistic."

"Girl had so much autism stored in her body."

"It is very obvious in nearly everything she does that they intended for her to be autistic. Literally just watch almost any cutscene with her and you'll see it (well. Ideally after her palace is taken care of since she's going through stuff and the 'tism is less obvious as a result)"

"she is soooo autism girlswag coded. When you first befriend her and hang out, the characters all have trouble sort of connecting with her, but once they realize they are being way too obnoxiously formal/normal they start asking her about stuff she is interested in, which then she talks very excitedly about. Im sort of passively watching someone play persona 5 so i might have gotten something wrong but eee she is so coded to me <3 and not in a bad way imo ik sometimes things can be TOO stereotypical but yknow yknow"

"Struggles with social interactions, special interest in computers and video games, her English voice actor intentionally played her with the idea that she's autistic."

"She's obsessed with and so good with computers she was a world reknowned hacker before the story even began, she struggles with interacting with people and was bullied through out her entire childhood for being "weird" and being able to memorize books and other things. Her outfits almost always include her wearing headphones (which i personally hc to be to reduce sounds) and there are scenes where she experiences sensory overload that turns into panic attacks. A lot of her character arc is about how after a personal tragedy she completely isolated herself from the outside world and now shes trying to ease back into interacting with people with the support of her family and new friends. When trying to connect with her, the quickest way they got her to relax and open up was when one character got her talking about an in universe sentai show she loves. Also her English voice actor said in interviews that she performed Futaba with her being autistic in mind because everything abt her character just reads as autistic and seeing someone struggle w the same issues I did was super important to me when i got into p5."

"Futaba is incredibly autistic-coded. She couldn’t leave her room or speak to strangers due to trauma, but she also was “quirky” before the trauma. She’s a computer genius and can get so obsessed with her work that she doesn’t hear or acknowledge other people. She wears headphones almost all the time and sits with her knees up (odd posture). Lastly, her mother was known to also be “odd” and was also very absorbed in her work. Autism is often inherited, so my personal read is that both of them are autistic. I’m missing lots of things I’m sure but she’s the best."

"All of her interests are special <3, major social anxiety, partially nonverbal (just like me fr), one of the only people she's constantly jokingly mean to is also very autistic coded which idk if that's a me experience but i can only be joke mean to other autistic people. allistics wouldn't understand. She cannot sit properly!!! Very important she has that autistic ball sitting position"

"She’s a genius hacker nerd who up until certain events in the game never left her room or her house due to trauma. She’s gets nervous and overwhelmed very easily once she starts expanding her comfort zone, but she doesn’t let that stop her. At certain points when she has to interact with people she isn’t comfortable with she puts on a disturbing doll head mask. At one point she has a miniature meltdown in the middle of a crowded store, because she tried pushing her boundaries a little too fast and got overwhelmed until the protagonist was able to find her. She loves anime and collects figurines and gets annoyed when her display of them is messed with. Her personality is socially awkward and kind of bratty when she’s comfortable and I don’t mean that in a negative way at all, she’s great!"

"very bad with people, obsessed with programing and Nerd Shit, i love her and she is very cool"

"she has a massive special interest in technology, her entire character arc is helping her learn to socialize, she sits like a GREMLIN"

"she is a epic hacker gamer girl so we are within the margins for trans and autism, she has a hard time with eye contact, she has intense social anxiety and wahooooooo she has the special interests !! on a side note she has chronic fatigue so damn just like me fr!! and shes so fun!! ack!!!" End ID.]

Bg3 is insanely fun to me so far. very early in the game but knowing ive barely started makes me excited at the prospect of more cutscenes, quests, and character interactions..!!!

i was just talking to my friend about how easy it is to REALLY project yourself into the game because of how authentic and variable the character + spatial interactions are and i was like. oh god i would not survive in this world. i think for rpgs in general i will never not be able to separate myself from the chatacters i play as just because i control them. but they will always be a separate, well established character with just a bit of me in them. it's different in bg3 because of how my personal ideologies affect the storyline and characters around me, and i think it's really interesting playing a game where your character and the world around you arent narratively static or fixed (it also helps i customized my paladin) It feels real! and this isnt new, it's just very novel to me as someone who doesnt play games like bg3, and i wonder what other games offer this immersion? my only exposure to open world rpgs are genshin and botw/totk but they cant really compare because genshin has a linear storyline and you dont really influence the characters and teyvat because the narrative is already laid out (and it also clashes against the game's open world mechanic which makes the world feel, at least to me, very synthetic). botw is more of an exploration game since its whole point is testing the limits of open world. so it's not super story driven imo, not to say it doesnt have a solid story. but i love these games dearly, and bg3 offers a really satisfying and fulfilling extension to what i truly want in an rpg

but anyway that was just a tangent but basically i told my friend how my paladin pangy is kind of.. stupid. *I* am stupid. HAHAHA i happen to fall for a lot of schemes and am easily deceived. astarion killed me because i didnt shove him away after letting him bite me, afraid he might die of malnourishment. got pickpocketed by a kid (and my character ironically failed the perception check TWICE. i had no idea what was going on until my friend in call told me j just got robbed). believed the fake sobstory of the paladins who attacked karlach and had to reload my save slot so i had the upperhand. i have 0 survival instincts...it's almost ridiculous but also incredibly funny. it made me realize that this is a game worth taking seriously (and that im just. really clueless 🧍‍♂️). but the experience is fun, and i like how the stakes are high (for the most part). i have Got to get my shit together i cant get jumped like this all the time

Your story is so inspiring and intense, i can't help but being fascinated by intricate relationships and twists of fate!

(further are the thoughts about mc's development, this has been cooking in my mind for so long, please, bear with me)

I do not how canonically i understand the MC's development but MC is has grown so much, but i think (headcanonically) now my MC has chosen the path of self destruction. 

It's just like their awareness, potential were sealed, were dormant until they escaped the Cyre with the Prince. And than they decided that helping Irus to claim throne is their sole purpose of his existence, because it was Father's last wish and because Irus was their saviour, the first one to see real MC. (Also, he and the Prince are the greatest platonic soulmest ever)

Then thay've met charming, beautifully fierce and protective friends (and Sir Oren as RO omg be still their heart) and welcoming family. They made MC see that world is far more exciting and they have a choice, moreover, more good choices, not only duty as the best weapon. But then all this revelations overwhelmed them so much, that they again closed off, became more determinted but far far more reckless too. 

It's like they have that burning fire of emotions that hurt them too much to understand and they channel all this into determination to make Irus to succeed and keep their chosen family safe. But when their purpose would be fulfilled? They would be forced to face all their inner mess or the crushing void without their great crusade. (i really like that MC have such good emotional support because that's how big tragic villains are cooked)

The little comfort scenes when Oren's hug keeps MC from falling apart, or bonding while assisting Elora with her hair, delicate 'thank you's and 'i'm sorry [it has happened with you]' that MC and Irus exchange with each other. With your secret magic you make them so precious i JUST CANT

All this many words were the prologue to the main thing i wanted to say: often I see MC who has already being made a hot mess by some really bad fortune (or people) in the past and now I can choose how they overcome this.

but it's my first time when MC so naturally descends in their first adult life crises in real time (it's like a prequel to the main story you have always dreamt of)

its such a coool experience for the player

i hope this makes sense

thank you for your hard work!!!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you playing the game and I'm so pleased that you're enjoying all the relationships 💖

There is no canon way of interpretation the MC's development. I've tried to keep the choices and actions of the MC as open as I could to allow for players to act or change throughout the game without being punished for their reactions.

I've already planned some breakdown moments for the MC in Part 4 - because that's where things will get messy. Part 3 will have a lot of family heartbreak and so it's perfectly normal to feel like your MC has gone a full-circle with their emotional journey.

This is why I had contemplated doing a villain route where the MC could choose to join Virion, because it makes sense for MCs who are barely holding it together 😅

Thank you for sharing your analysis of your character and the journey they've taken 😊

hey there! could i possibly get a matchup for hazbin hotel, saiki k, vocaloid, and/or tgcf? tyyy!!

about me: i'm a usamerican teen with super nerdy hobbies haha, i really like reading whether it's fiction, nonfiction or even fanfiction, and i like playing video games and d&d. unfortunately i cant play a lot of video games because so many of them dont have accessibility settings and i have chronic wrist pain as well as impaired coordination related to autism :/ but i still keep an eye out for cool looking games that are accessible to me

my gender is complicated haha and even i dont fully understand it, mostly for autistic reasons. i use genderfluid as an umbrella term, but other terms i really like are soft butch, tomboy, multigender, transmasc girl, and autigender. i use any/all pronouns

my sexuality is... also complicated... i'm aromantic and romance-neutral to romance-favorable (romantic matchups are ok!!) as well as abrosexual and aceflux, or abroflux. i experience alterous/queerplatonic attraction to people of all genders and i have had both queerplatonic and romantic partnerships with people :)

my mbti type is enfp, i consider myself a very extraverted person who loves hanging out with people and making friends. i can come across as overly cheerful, loud, impulsive, excitable, enthusiastic etc., and i may seem a little airheaded or dumb sometimes because of it. however, if you take the time to get to know me you'll find out that i'm equally capable of being introspective, thoughtful and quiet when i'm in a calmer mood. i'm actually a quite intelligent person who tends to think deeply about things, and i find those same qualities attractive (though not essential) in a partner or close relationship.

my favorite color is olive green, my favorite band is counting crows, my favorite candy is toffee, my favorite movie is 'stranger than fiction', my favorite sport is hockey, my favorite animal is ferrets, my favorite tv show is community, my favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip, and i also love good food (especially any kind of curry), live music, fantasy novels, going on walks, and writing.

ummm i think thats it! thank you in advance, love your blog <3

A/N — hi there! and yes ofc you can get a matchup! I only chose one fandom for this since I can’t rlly write a lot BUT this was super fun to make and I also love your description a lot! you seem like a rlly cool person :)

(^_−)−☆ YOUR VOCALOID MATCHUP IS…

RIN AND LEN KAGAMINE

☆ just from reading your description alone, you match their vibe so much! you would be able to make friends with them very quickly unlike the others.

☆ Rin is someone that’s gonna be looking out for you all the time, she helps you with your wrist pain and autism a lot, she’ll do whatever it takes for you to be comfortable. I also think that she would like to watch any kind of shows with you. (she may make fun of them/j).

☆ Len is someone that’s gonna be around you to have fun with honestly, you guys are gonna do the most activities together a lot, I think that he would like playing board games with you but he would rage quit when he’s not winning / or didn’t win the game at all. Like Rin, he’s gonna be looking out for you as well, he doesn’t like seeing his friends getting hurt and he’ll prevent anything from happening to you.

☆ you guys are always so loud! the others can hear you guys even laugh from a 5 mile radius. you and len have the same energy so run is gonna have to look out for two idiots (that she cares for very much).

☆ when your in a quieter mood you’ll get the other two to be quiet as well, whenever you go quiet around them so will they just so that they don’t bother whatever your thinking about. (I think rin would have to stop len from trying to get you out of your thinking bubble, but if it’s too long then she’ll allow him to get you out).

☆ they also buy you a ton of gifts on special occasions! whether its holidays or birthdays, you’ll get a lot of presents from them (sometimes they can be homemade sweets but I feel like they would leave the cookies in the oven for too long and they’ll be burnt).

☆ you guys definitely go on daily walks together (especially to tire len out whenever he’s just a bit too energetic), while you guys are walking you guys will also get ice cream as well (they always fight over who’s ice cream flavors are better…).

ROUND-UPS: kaito, gakupo, hatsune miku.

FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING ✨✨

hey there! So...as you can guess, I've been playing Fire Emblem Awakening in these last few months. It may seem unbelievable but I never had the opportunity to play this game until now. My very first Fire Emblem was Sacred Stones, and it was not only my first experience with the franchise, but also my very first experience playing a tactical rpg. I didn't know anything about how to play so everything that happened within the first minutes of gameplay was a completely new experience for me. I still remember when I got my first support *conversation* between Eirika and Seth...my mind was simply BLOWN away by the fact that characters could interact and build stronger bonds in the middle of the battlefield 😮 Since then, I've been tryin to play any Fire Emblem I can get my hands on...and finally, thanks to my friends friend (Mr. Mystery ☝), I got the opportunity to try this one out.

I've always been curious about Awakening because a friend of another friend of mine had a 3ds with it. he showed me a little bit about it one day we visited him but because we had better things to do and a time limit for it, I couldn't catch a proper look to it. Still, I really wanted to try it out, so once I talked a little about it wit my best friend, I immediately asked her to ask Mr. Mystery if he could get it for me...and as you can see, he did it!!! 🤗 I'm still in my first playthrough but I already can see why people love this game so much. It is beautifully made, the new mechanics are polished and very enjoyable, and the characters are just SO good!! 😆😆😆

To be honest, my favorite part of all the Fire Emblem games I have played so far, has always been the supports. And every since I learned that in Awakening the support pairs can have their own children I was simply EXCITED to see it!! 🤩 I'm already in the part of the story were the child units appear and so I'm tryin to reunite them all before proceeding.

I think my favorite pair so far is Donnel and Lissa. Their support was just so really, really sweet that it made me tear up. I know that the child unit is always predetermined by the mother but still, I cant help but feel like Owain makes sense as a child of these two. (And also, its just too funny to let it slide 😆🤣) I don't know yet what other combination I may do in a future second playthrough...but I already feel like it will be hard for me to pair Donny and Lissa with someone else 😢 (Seriously now, why so few people like this pairing!?? 😭)

P.S: Mini Owain turned out really good for a first try 🤭 ...Although I'm a bit unsure if I put his mark in the right place 🤔

[star-sim]

hai vanya!! i haven’t stopped by in a while so i wanted to say hi and check in bc idk how blr mutuals work even after being on here for a while..

how are u??? i’m on winter break rn godbless 😭i’ve loved all ur recents 🫶 i’m getting new glasses soon 🥳

hi peng!! don't even worry about it, i have no idea how tumblr etiquette works or what's supposed to be the "right" way to interact with ur mutuals (other than to be kind ofc!) either

so uh.... a lot has happened. i haven't rlly said anything abt it on here but i cant hold it in bc im so excited!!!

i'm going on date next week!! i met a really cute guy and we've been talking so much lately, he recently asked me out on a date and i'm so nervous. i write a lot of flirty cute fluff but i have no idea how to navigate romance irl, like i can write the most insane romantic scenes but put me in front of a cute guy that calls me pretty and i freeze up (no idea how i pulled him, i just stood there and smiled, no rizz no game absolutely no ability to pull)

like i know i said a lot of my writing is based off of real experiences, which is very very true bc half of "you've got to be kitten me" was literally just me writing an autobiography..... but that doesn't mean that i have ANY real romantic experiences!!! ... someone help me!!!

anywaysssss

i'm so jealous, my winter break was far back in december and i'm wishing that i could go back so badly

all my recents are like fever dreams to me lol, but i love them equally

i used to wear these thick and dusty glasses and someone broke them, thank the lord because they were so atrocious i don't know how anyone let me go outside looking like that

thanks for stopping by peng!!

[dausy]

I'm behind updating tumblr again. I'm getting more invested with Threads. I feel like people there have been pretty friendly and responsive. I was thinking about trying out Bluesky website again.

Anywho, I'll have a new youtube vlog video out in the morning. I thought maybe I'd get more done this weekend than I thought. Not just artwise but chore wise. But it rained and there was actually snow/ice out on the mountains in the distance. I just kinda couch-potato'd at home. Didn't even go to the gym this weekend.

I accidentally got promoted again at work. This happens every few months. I have the most experience so I keep getting thrust into this position, I turn it down and somebody else comes in and takes it over and then quits and then I get it again. But I'm trying real hard to maintain my parttime hours. I don't want to be there 5 days a week and I don't want to take a beating from other administrators. I literally just want to be a nurse and go home. I'm counting down the months til I can quit before we move again.

Admittedly, I feel like things are a lot better at work and my girls tell me things are a lot better. I'm ok with delegating tasks to my staff members and everybody is extremely flexible and helpful to one another. My elderly age is getting immune to doctors screaming at me. I think this last girl who was hired into this management position may be on her way out but right now she's just stepped down but apparently still wants to work. I really really like her and I really really want her to stay, even as just regular staff.

My husband should be coming home within the next several weeks, I just dont know when. Theres some sort of "town hall meeting" in some odd days and I'm assuming Ill get those details then. Ofcourse, they like to do these meetings at awkward times.

Theres some places on this end of the country I'd like to see before we move because its probably unlikely we'll return to this end ever again.

Otherwise, as stated on my other social medias, I am back in my Final Fantasy 7 obsessive phase. I am super excited for the part2 remake to come out but I cant play it til my spouse gets home. I keep writing an entire thesis sized paper about the importance of this game to siblings and I but then I keep deleting it.

when my spouse gets home, I am doing a full power point presentation to catch him up (because he isnt a gamer) and I want a FF inspired meal! Also, I never played the Yuffie DLC....

wren 6, 28, 33. khio 35, 23. amadeus 1, 12. ben 20, 32, 50

Wren:

6. If they were badly injured, and for whatever reason couldn't go to a hospital, who would they go to for help?

I suppose this depends on the uni they're in but in their canon, without a doubt their roomie and best friend Clementine, who belongs to @snapplewapple. Clem is the only person they really, truly trust because they know each other better than anyone else does, until their eventual romance with Sebastian, but trust is not something that comes easy for them and when they're in any sort of critical state, that is what comes first

28. Are they a #gamer?

They play junimo kart and like thats it...maybe eventually but they were not given the luxury of video games growing up so like on one hand its new and exciting to them but on the other theyre kind of hard to understand its like showing your mom how to play a video game like they kind of get it but they still need practice. Arcade games are what they take to first though and they love them so i guess that counts

33. Do they play ttrpgs? If so what kind of characters do they play? Or are they more likely to GM?

They are way too shy to ever gm or play any ttrpg unless it was with very very close friends. I think for the most part they just like to sit in on Sebastian's sessions with sam and abigail and eventually get pulled into it once they learn the ropes, but i doubt they would play with anyone else. Its like a hobby they engage with bc they know seb likes it and its fun but not their first choice because improv is scary to them

Khio:

35. Do they believe in fate or do they believe they are in charge of their own destiny?

If you ask them they'll say the latter, but deep down they know it isn't true. They know they're put in the world for a reason and it bothers them deeply and is partially why theyre so invested in the lives of the residents of sleepy creek

23. How would they want to die?

Alone.

Amadeus:

Do they have any crafting hobbies?

He likes to make potions I think that counts. He really takes to this when his powers are taken because it's some semblance of magic he can still use; by the end of his arc he is actually very proficient with it.

12. Do they have any sense of style? Regardless of the answer do they believe they have a sense of style?

I don't have a sense of style so i cant answer this but he definitely thinks he does even if its gaudy and tacky he knows it is and he owns it

Ben:

20. Do they have a strong connection to their culture?

Depends on the day. Ben never truly comes to a peaceful resolution over his religion until the day he dies in which he decides that nothing matters because really its out of his hands anyways. So, sometimes.

32. If they could change one thing about themselves what would it be?

Depends when you asked him. Pre silent hill he would want to be a better man, not in the moral sense, but in the way that he could be happy filling his role as a godly man in society. Want to be cis straight and have no confliction about his religion without realizing thats what he was asking for, post he would just want to be happy

50. What is your favorite thing about them?

um i like being able to shove my own experiences and feelings on someone else idk ^_^
