Throwback to the first quilt I made for myself! Now, years later and having made a lot more quilts, there are some things I’d change but I still love it

[call-me-pup2]

One time I made myself cum as I was literally falling asleep so I dozed off right after then woke up a couple minutes later, hand still on my pussy, no clear memory I'd just cum so I started playing again and was all over sensitive and realised what had happened and I'd missed that comfy come down feeling after cumming 😔

What I love about this fandom is how we are all in love with Ferdinand despite him being the most unlikeable person ever. Like he is an anti-social, rude, cold-hearted, know it all snob and we love him all the more for it.

When he enters the story this is what we immediately learn about him, but he was kind to Myne. So we know there is more to him, but we have to wait till to get it. Until that moment in the Trombe subjugation we weren’t sure how to fell about Ferdinand nor how’d he react because he is always the first person to remind Myne of her place. She’s a commoner and despite guiding her he also doesn’t let her forget that. So when he backs Myne we finally know we can trust him like really trust him. And that he is someone to lean on.

And even before we learn his sad backstory(which again takes VOLUMES hell PARTS). We already love and trust him. His backstory doesn’t endear us to him, because we have long since had love for him. He doesn’t need a sad woobie backstory for us to feel for him and feel positively about him because like Myne he has long since proven himself to us. And while many people in story would liken spending time with him to torture, we know that despite all of that he is a good person, and loyal to a fault.

And honestly, he doesn’t really grow in that aspect, I mean he learns a little but the things I listed earlier are still very much his character flaws. He doesn’t grow past them, learn to be kinder, socialize more, or anything like that.

They’re still apart of his personality, they’re flaws but they are his.

And in keeping these flaws we retain the part of him the is undeniably Ferdinand.

We love Ferdinand despite the fact that if we met him in person many of us wouldn’t like him, and I think that’s one of the most fantastic things about AoaB

I am thinking about. The blood n knife n alcohol in Boone's room. And the broken mirror.

[naynkitten]

im a sucker for redemption arc burningcheese dont get me wrong but mutually toxic burningcheese is now taking over 50% of my brain because how fun it is to play around with the dymanic

golden cheese cookie being the type of girl that goes “i can fix him” while burning spice cookie is like “i fucking ruin her lmao” the relationship being rocky and mildly codependent (gc gotta make sure the guy doesnt destroy a city in a post-breakup rampage ig, while for bs this is literally the only thing thats keeping him motivated enough to live) this is the best i could explain my view on this :’) i would love to have more fics/art of this concept because its so intresting ughh

Here, you're getting Fiddlestan Angst because I said so

The couple started fighting about something and Fidds wanted to try and bring Stan out of the Episode that started it

Fidds, holding the piglet: Stanley? Can I just... make a bit of an observation?

Stan: Why not? Isn't like I have anyone else to nag at me.

Fidds: *Cringes Slightly Before Sitting on the Floor with Stan* Honey, look at our daughter. And not just a glance, but get a good look at 'er.

Stan: *Looks at the Piglet* What about her?

Fidds, setting the piglet down: Think o' her as a chance.

Stan: A chance?

Fidds: Mhm. We're both in similar boats, ain't we? Two old men, bidin' their time the best way they can an' hoping nothin' their brains cook up will someday hurt someone they love. We've already lost people we care about, got 'em back in one way or another, and on top o' that, we're coverin' up part o' our pain with... *Looks at Their Wedding Bands*

Stan, following Fidds' gaze: *Hesitantly* You sayin' what I think you're sayin'?

Fidds, hurriedly: No! No, o' course not. I love ya, so much. Nothin' could change that... but... nothin' else is really gonna change, is it?

Stan: What do you mean?

Fidds: Human bein's are creatures o' habit. Anythin' that changes on a dime, intentional or not, could send a person into a spiral. That's why we don't like change. And the changes we need are bigger than th' two o' us care to even slightly admit.

Stan: So? Change isn't always better. Sometimes it's okay to stay the same. It's okay to pull the same con twice on the same person if it works! We're not hurting anyone or breaking anything!

Fidds: We're hurtin' ourselves, Stanley. Lettin' our minds do this t' us, not tryin' t' talk or work through it-

Stan: I DON'T TALK, FIDDS! YOU KNOW THAT!

The Piglet: *Squeals with Fear and Scrambles Behind Fidds*

Stan, instantly feeling guilty: Wait, no! I didn't mean to-

Fidds: I know, sweetie. It's okay. Let's just... go and get some sleep.

Stan, quietly: Okay...

Fidds: I love ya, sweetie. Never forget that.

Stan: I won't. I promise.

i'm so ambivalent about frigga! on one had i think the MCU treated her very poorly and so fandom should build her up and give her some more 'oomph,' on the other hand what fandom has done with her also annoys me because it apparently decided she's the good parent to be contrasted with her husband even when they did the exact same things.

so i always have the urge to "support" her by making her problematic in one way or another. and strange. she deserves to be strange.

Hi everyone! Hope you've had a good week and that the weather's been treating you well. It's been one hell of a hot summer for me. 😅

Next Update (Chapter 3? Quite Possibly!):

Intro Scene (if not on music fest route): 100%

Music Fest Routes (Solo, V, and Amara): 100%

Club Pyre Path: 100%

Editing: 40%

Coding: 55?% (Possibly even more!)

Bug Testing: 0%

Gotten a solid chuck of editing done this last week! At the rate things are going, I'm (tentatively) estimating the next demo update may be ready by the end of August to beginning of September. 🤞

As for the coding, I've started porting some of what I've already edited into Twine, hence actually having a percentage this week. I've also axed a small scene that I decided was unnecessary for the plot which has speed things up a tad. All in all, things are going good!

It came to me in a vision:

Some days being autistic feels like you're playing a video game on the hardest possible difficulty settings, with no instructions and your health down to 1%, while everyone else gets to play in easy mode with directions (so they always know what to do next) and unlimited health cheats.

Sure, being late-diagnosed means you're aware that you're playing on hard mode. Now you know you will struggle and you can give yourself grace and accommodations.

But some days it all feels so unfair...

Why do I have to constantly struggle at things that seem to come so naturally to others?
