FIRST DA2 PLAYTHORUGH EVER DONE. if eel sick

[theangelcatalogue]

If I had a nickel for every musical fanfic that i love was written by a hispanic guy that cast himself as the protagonist, i would have two nickels! Which isn't a lot but it's weird that happened two times!

What if…Marius makes a comment about how pretty Lethica’s ear jewelry is (bc idk what that thing on the tip of her ears are called), and wonders out loud if he could ever pull off jewelry like that, and Lethica offers to help him pierce his ears and give him some of her extra earrings and such. Perhaps nothing too feminine, but something elegant that fits his vibe.

Am I just saying this bc i decided to draw Marius in casual wear (bc there’s no way in the Nine Hells he’s sleeping in all that armor, even in his less bulky rose armor), and decided last minute to give him earrings that are vaguely similar to Lethica’s?

…mayhaps

You need more free art.

I quit my job yesterday. Well, actually I quit my job eight weeks ago, but they finally released me yesterday for good behaviour. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do - but I do it for the wrong reasons. Working for major charities, you learn very fast that 'I want to make the world a better place' is a phrase you use to ask people for money, not to give them things. I was an ass-backwards fit for that world.

You need more free art. I need more free art. Everyone has felt the shift in our media landscape over the last ten years, away from access and towards nickel-and-diming the human experience. That lack of access is making life and culture worse for all of us, across the board. Paywalled news sites leave us less informed, attacks on the Internet Archive leave us less capable of research. Algorithmic social feeds and streaming walled gardens trap us inside smaller and smaller demographic bubbles, where we are increasingly only likely to encounter ideas that have been curated for us by marketing departments. Hasty efforts to resist AI commodification have only led to more artists locking their work away and calling for even more onerous systems of copyright law. This is not good for us.

We all need more free art.

So what am I going to do about it?

This is a question I have been asking myself for years. It's easy to sit here feeilng frustrated and thinking 'boy I hope SOMEONE does SOMETHING'. It's harder to take action in a world where I still have rent to pay. But hard doesn't mean impossible. Sometimes hard just means time-consuming, frustrating and slow. And sometimes it's worth doing something time-consuming, frustrating and slow because...I want to make the world a better place.

I'm going to do this:

1. From April 1st, I am relaunching as a freelance writer and editor.

This is the one that will (hopefully) help to pay the bills. I am a very good and experienced editor. I've worked on hollywood movies, I'm a member of the Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders, I have clients who have been coming to me exclusively for more than 10 years.

Alongside bigger contract jobs, I am going to refocus on offering my services to small-press creators at a reduced rate. That means you, graphic novelists. That means you, itch and amazon writers. I want to help you develop your work, the same way I help large organisations. You can learn more about what an editor even does and what kind of pricing you can expect here.

2. I'm also going to start giving shit away. Like, constantly.

Next week I'm going to launch a new free shop. If you're unfamiliar, a free shop, giveaway shop, swap shop, etc. is an anarchist tradition of setting up a storefront where anyone can take what they like for no cost. Offline, this often means second-hand clothes, tools, furniture, food etc. Online, I am going to be giving away digital art. Copyright-free, no strings attached. It will (eventually) feature everything from print-res posters to zines, poems, tattoo flash, t-shirt designs and anything else we come up with.

Yes, I said 'we' - while this is a curated collection, it will feature work from a variety of credited and anonymous artists and activists, all of whom have agreed to give their work away to the public domain. Some of it will be practical, some of it will be political, but a lot of it will be decorative or personal. This is, in part, a response to recent difficulty I had finding somewhere that would print a one-off joke poster for a friend that featured the word 'faggot'. Enough. No middlemen - no explaining ourselves. Just print our shit and enjoy it.

I'm very, very excited about this project. I'll have more to say about it closer to the launch, but you can expect it to go live on March 27th.

2.2 I forgot to mention the ACTUAL LAUNCH GIVEAWAY

To celebrate my launch, I am going to be giving away a ton of physical prints. When I went looking for my old stock to see if it was worth setting a new (paid) storefront up, I realised I had way more old work in storage than I thought. This will be announced in its own right on Monday, but this is why I've been hinting you should go follow my Patreon.

On April 1st, I will pick 8 random patrons (from across all tiers including non-paying followers!) and mail them a bundle of assorted prints and postcards. The prize pool includes A3 and A4 posters, packs of A6 postcards, and printed minicomics that I've previously sold for up to £12 each.

You don't have to be a paying subscriber to enter - this is strictly no-purchase necessary. It is purely and entirely a celebration of the concept of GIVING ART AWAY FOR FREE.

3. PORN, YOU PERVERTS

Because I still have to pay to stay alive, I am going to be subsidising all this free art with the introduction of Fuck You Fridays. Starting from March 29th, I will drop a new 18+ short story on the last Friday of every month, over on itch.io (yes I know my page is desolate right now, don't worry I'll get there).

The first edition, Go Fuck Yourself, is about, well - telling your boss where to stick it. Julia has had it with her millionaire man-child manager, and is just about ready to let him know what she really thinks. It's a short and steamy 5k words, with a gorgeous cover illustration by @taylor-titmouse, and you can pick it up for $3 starting from March 29th.

4. ANOTHER BIG SURPRISE

I'm keeping this one under wraps for now, but April 1st will also play host to one more (FREE) launch. If you've been following me for a long time, you might remember the other significance of this date (no not April Fool's day, though that is certainly thematically relevant to this entire effort). That's all I'll say right now. Watch this space.

tl;dr: I'm sick of paywalls and career ladders. I'm literally putting my money where my mouth is. More free art for everyone and I'm not kidding around!!!

[gaywineauntsstuff]

any thoughts on dick haunting the narrative despite being very much alive ?

See my favorite part about this is that Dick doesn’t haunt the entire narrative. Usually when he’s mentioned in other people’s comics (roy,Wally etc) it’s something like “thank god for dick Grayson” or “gee I sure liked working with nightwing” or even “damn I hate the fact I have to do this but nightwing asked and like he doesn’t do that” the same way all the titans reference each other.

You might get a bit more reverence out of like raven? Or Clark? Casually saying Dick Grayson is their favorite or something

But Dick Grayson specifically haunts things that are literally in anyway related to Bruce Wayne (including Bruce) and it’s entirely their fault.

Bc to haunt a narrative one must not be accessible in the narrative imo. And every single one of the bats is too chicken shit to have a normal human conversation.

Bc like Dick does show up in other characters comics, he helps out in the birds of prey, most of the fab 5 have mentioned that he stops by whenever they’re lucky enough to have a solo run -DC GIVE DONNA TROY A SOLO RUN- he helps a lot of the younger teams, he works with the league.

Now GOD FORBID BRUCE CALL HIS SON WHEN HES MENTAL BREAKDOWNING.

Bc yeah he does haunt the Batman narrative. If I had a nickel for every time I turned the page on a Batman solo comic to suddenly get 2 pages of “dick Grayson, my ward the first Robin. My greatest achievement” spat at me I would have enough nickels to buy the comic bookstore

Or in a Robin comic “dick Grayson, the first Robin, he was the blueprint” like if yall wanna act like this pick up the phone and call the man.

Like despite what I and the fandom will tell you. There has never been a time where Dick and the bats weren’t on speaking terms (Jason excluded for reasons of murder and general bitterness) but even when Dick and Bruce hated being near each other -post Jason death- they could still work together.

They just decide to go “ah yes nightwing he’s great and he could probably help wish he was here anyway I’m not gonna call him”

People will bring up Red Robin but him and Tim were solid for like 99% of that so be so fr

Anyway all I’m saying is that Batman and his Russian nesting doll collection of ever shrinking robins need therapy and maybe medication but it’s okay I love them anyway

Being the Son of Calliope, headcanons…

PJO x Male Reader (No romantic pairing)

Warnings: None…

Summary: You’re the son of the goddesss of epic poetry and eloquence and One of the Nine Muses…

(A/n: I know I was meant to work on other stuff but I got distracted.)

(Song is unrelated to the story but it felt Muses coded so…)

——

You were the only half-blood at camp related to one of the Muses, specifically Calliope, the Goddesss of Epic Poetry and Eloquence.

When you had gotten to camp you used to stay in Cabin 11, even though you’d been claimed, there was no cabin for you. So you ended up bunking with Travis Stoll.

But after the war with the titans and Percy’s demands to Zeus to the gods, a cabin dedicated to the Nine Muses had been built.

You being made the counsler… not that there were any other options…

The cabin was great tho, it was decorated with statues and carvings of the muses and their symbols. There were paintings hung of their famous demigods too such as Orpheus, Hyacinthus and Linus

The cabin had a big book case with novels, plays, comedies, tradgedies, poetry. A soundproof dance studio, a soundproof music room with a bunch of instruments, a sky window to study the stars.

Basically everything associated with the Muses.

——

If you had a nickel for everytime someone had tried to pick you by saying ”you were their muse” or that ”you had inspired” the poem, song or novel they wrote… you’d be richer than Hades.

You were particullarly popular amongst the Apollo cabin who seemed to think you were some kind of key to overcome creative blocks. Will Solace, their counselor, needed to keep them in check since they all seemed interested in you in one way or the other.

Athena’s and Hephaestus’s cabins were also drawn to you for your creativety.

——

You would however end up being paired with the Apollo cabin to lead the campfire sing-alongs, you usually end up with a solo song telling the dramatic story of some greek hero.

Imagine something like ”The Gosphel Truth” from ”Hercules”, with the Apollo cabin acting as you back up singers.

——

As for your powers, you were far from the strongest of demigods, but you were by no means weak.

You had a natrual talent for the arts, singing, dancing, poetry, instruments, etc…

As the son of the goddess of Eloquence you could cast minor short lasting curses on people that would effect their speaking, that could for example cause them to only speak in rhymes and limericks or make them unable to finish long sentences before drifting off.

Your swordfighting style would be noted by the other campers to be quite different, while they fought normally with their swords, Percy described your style more as a ”VERY deadly and sharp dance”.

Being related to the muses you also had an aura that could induce inspiration and creativity in someone (so maybe the Apollo cabin was on to something with their interest in you).

Though that power worked both ways as you could also curse someone with creative block.

——

Unlike most demigods, you’re mother showed up quite often to advice you whenever you had a problem… and she didn’t come alone.

Let’s say you’re in your cabin and you’re sad after having an argument with a friend.

Well… then all the 9 statues of the Muses in the cabin come to life and start singing a pop-soul number about why friendship is important and you should make up with your friend.

It’s was quite terrifying the first few times it happened but you get used to it after a while.

Being one of the Muse’s son is pretty much like being all of their son.

(A/n 2: Sorry, this is shorter than i usually write and is more so a collection of small headcanons for a Son of Calliope!Reader than a full on fic.)

[thistleraven]

Do you have an estimate for chapter 10 of take a bite?

Hello nonny my love!!

Currently chapter 10 is about...1/2 way to 3/4s of the way done? T'was a busy week at work and alas I had less time to work on it (also I wrote 6K of hades au porn but this aint about that) but I'm hopeful to finish it this weekend.

It should be up by Tuesday/Wednesday latest. Could be sooner!! But that's my goal.

In the meantime, have a sneak peak at the introduction of everyone's favourite tortured catholic vigilante:

~*~

“Mattycakes, Mattycakes, does whatever a Mattycakes does!” 

“Wade,” Matt says dryly. 

“Matty!” Wade cheers. “If you were wondering what, in fact, a Mattycakes does, I’ll tell ya: smolder, for one thing, hot damn. Been a minute, looking good, you sexy devil, you.” 

Wade bats his eyes coquettishly but Matt’s face doesn’t change. Uh-oh.  

“You took a job for Fisk.” 

Drat. 

“Damn, we’re really just jumping straight in, huh?” Wade mutters. “Okay yes! But I also! Critically! Untook it. I feel like I should get some brownie points on that one.” 

“You would have gotten brownie points if you hadn’t taken the job in the first place,” Matt growls, in a dangerous but unfortunately also distractingly sexy manner. Hello, boner town. 

“Wade,” Matt snaps, because he notices, of course he notices. Boy, if he had a nickel for every enhanced sensed, super-powered beefcake vigilante Wade hung out with, two nickels, etc etc. 

Wade puts his hands up defensively. 

“It’s not my fault! I’ve got Pavlov’s dick when you use that voice on me.” 

“You think I could get you to sit and stay?” Matt asks in that low, rough voice. “Or just beg and roll over?” 

Jesus.

Pt 2 of my headcanons 😃

Each of the Heathens have all been forced to get on their knees at least once in their life while Gareth scolded them for doing something stupid (Nikolai being a frequent offender).

Vaughn is level-headed and smart, so Gareth doesn't have to lecture him often as Vaughn doesn't let himself be pulled into their antics (most of the time, at least), but he gets easily manipulative when Yulian is brought up by any of the Heathens, lol. He FOLDS quick.

If Gareth gets into trouble, he always makes sure to only get HIMSELF in trouble (doesn’t like dragging his loved ones down with him), but the rest of the Heathens are always ready to SQUARE UP for him.

They are very protective of Gareth but try not to show it often because Gareth can be very prickly about it. He's basically their princess, but Killian will forever deny this.

Gareth still has the occasional tendency to just instinctively grab Kayden by the throat whenever Kayden is being a shit during a fight (Kayden does not take any of their arguments seriously most of the time until Gareth actually gets upset or starts crying.)

Kayden is very weak to Gareth's tears (even indulges the fake tears); Gareth has learned to weaponize them.

Vaughn regularly breaks into Kayden & Gareth's home to steal Moka but always returns Moka 3 hours later because he also can't stand the feline. Vaughn has a love-hate relationship with Moka.

Moka loves Gareth & Yulian (Kayden thinks the cat has a fondness for blond or smth, what else could be the reason?)

Legally, Gareth is Carson-Davenport, but he goes around introducing himself as just Gareth Davenport.

Alex, Asher, and Killian have all various messy feelings about it (especially Alex, that's his beloved GRANDSON, goddammit!)

Yulian and Ava are basically twin lookalike.

The truth, however, is that Yulian is not a natural blond but has dyed it blond once as a child and he kept it for sentimental reasons instead of going back to his natural black (lol).

Which is a crime because BLUE EYES AND DARK HAIR, Yulian you would have been even more gorgeous.

Cecily and Yulian have regular hair dye sessions and talks for hours over hair care because its hard to maintain both healthy hair AND the colour.

They use the sessions to gossip over EVERYTHING (boys, girls, anime, Landon's latest schemes, their boyfriends' jealous hatred for Landon, etc)

Yulian is surprisingly very responsible, but it's a toss-up on what he's being responsible about and what he's being irresponsible about.

Vaughn has a car back home in NY but rides a motorcycle while attending university with the rest of the Heathens. Vaughn has mixed feelings about Yulian being more obsessed with his motorcycle than Vaughn is. Yulian insists that it'd a good model and has always spent the first 5 minutes of their meet up to run his hand over it.

Unrelated, Vaughn has crashed several motorcycles.

Yulian collectively calls Brandon, Gareth, and Vaughn the "baby gay trio" despite also being just as inexperienced (Kayden had no fucks about being with a guy, the man was so chill in his old age FOR REAL)

While reading the books, Brandon and Gareth seemed very much "gay" and "demisexual" to me. But I thought Nikolai was more pan while Killian was more bi (but it's officially switched, LOL).

Vaughn and Yulian screamed to me as somewhere on the "bisexuality" range, but more like Vaughn is accepting of either genders on a surface level (more girls than boys, but more other boys than Yulian lol) but his dick only gets hard for Yulian

While Yulian is bicurious? The bi being only for Vaughn.

Token straight Jeremy!

If Jeremy gets a nickel every time he is standing in the middle of his friends getting punched by their SECRET BOYFRIEND, Jeremy would get two nickels because Nikolai & Brandon was already shocking enough, but Jeremy's soul left his body when Yulian socked Vaughn in the face for being a very pissy asshole (it was smth about being them being exclusive but them also being JUST fuckbuddies???)

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

If I had a nickel for everytime Hanae Natsuki voiced a mobile game character that took inspiration of the red queen/queen of hearts from alice in wonderland I would have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's strange that it happened twice

(The other character is Jonah Clemence from ikemen revolution)

Something about voice must scream, "Queen of Hearts character coded" www

Maybe?? I don't think my username is particularly unique so it's possible. If there was, it wasn't me because I didn't even know about IkeRev until 2020ish but haven't played any games by Cybird until 2024ish (IkeVil).

I do happen to have a friend that was very active in the IkeRev fandom! They claim there isn't anyone with the same username as me, but that they understand where the confusion may have come from since IkeRev also has strong Alice in Wonderland motifs, references, etc.

[chicalepidopterareblogs]

If I had a nickel for every time an AMC's Interview With The Vampire cast member has played a closeted queer man who is being blackmailed at his workplace in a period drama, I would have 2 nickels etc

Characters who SPECIFICALLY should be the ones to kill AFO

TW: Language

Listen there are so many characters (basically almost all of the characters) deserve to kill him but these are the ones who definitely deserve to do it.

1- Yoichi Shigaraki

Poor dude ended up with an obsessive brother who gave him his name because he was his first property!!!! Genuinely I feel so bad for him it’s not his fault AFO became obsessed with him to the point of wanting to wanting One For All just so he could have Yoichi back like seriously Yoichi should absolutely demolish AFO

2- Tenko Shimura (aka Tomura Shigaraki)

I’m using Tenko’s photo because truly he should be the one to kill him. Sure Tomura should also destroy him but Tenko deserves it more (I know they are the same person but they are at different points in their life) like Tenko deserves so much better

3- Yuga Aoyama

Honestly the Quirk that AFO gave him is enough reason for him to demolish him. He has been manipulated for his entire life and was forced to be a traitor by him. I can’t wait for the anime when he attacks AFO

4- Toshinori Yagi

Honestly AFO should’ve stayed out of the story after the Kamino Arc. He killed All Might’s mentor and caused his injury which led him to using the rest of One For All to take down AFO. So having that fucker return and be essentially the final boss is so upsetting like if I was All Might I would be so angry

5- Oboro Shirakumo and Shota Aizawa

A two for one. Oboro lost his life because AFO (okay it was Garaki technically but he was doing it because of AFO) wanted to have Aizawa’s Quirk and he ended up dying so he absolutely deserves to kill him and Aizawa also deserves to destroy him because he was the target (I swear if I had a nickel for every time an evil organization wanted Aizawa’s Quirk I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but weird that it happened twice, right?)

6- Izuku Midoriya

I mean he already did it but still it was deserved. Honestly Midoriya should’ve also demolished him with words as well as killing him. So glad he took him down.

There are honestly so many characters I could’ve included (Grand Torino, Nana Shimura, Basically all One For All users, Present Mic, all of UA, etc) but these six (technically seven) are definitely the ones who should have been (and were) the ones to destroy that fucker.

[cosmerelists]

The Rules of the Cosmere

And by “rules,” I mean tropes that crop up repeatedly in Sanderson’s books, that one could consider “rules” in a nonserious, please-don’t-take-this-too-seriously type way. 

Spoilers for pretty much all of the Cosmere!

1. Don’t feed the children

As seen in: Elantris, Oathbringer, Warbreaker

If you see a hungry, homeless child in a Sanderson book and you’re tempted to, say, give them food--don’t! Raoden tried that. And the poor child was horribly mangled by the men who wanted that food. Shallan tried it. And it turned out the child was being coerced into accepting the food by gang leaders--who ended up killing the child. Vivenna didn’t exactly feed them willingly, but the urchins did, like, beat her and steal her food while she was living on the street. So that wasn’t great.

Exception that proves the rule: Stump. She fed lots of orphaned children, and she was only almost killed. So the message is: if you want to feed the children, have a Lift around to protect you.

2. Once Marriage is On The Table, Breakups Don’t Really Happen

As seen in: Mistborn Era 1, Mistborn Era 2, Stormlight Achives, Elantris, Warbreaker

Once characters get to the point of marriage, be they engaged or in an arranged marriage or just solidly A Thing, it is rare for them to break up. Sometimes a breakup is floated--like when Adolin told Shallan she could go ahead and leave him for Kaladin or when there was Wax/Steris tension or when Zane tried to break up Vin and Elend--but in the end, the original relationship tends to hold strong. Siri and Susebron were married before they had even met, but they ended up happy together. Even “death” couldn’t stop Sarene and Raoden’s engagement--Sarene did try to marry someone else, to be fair, but that second marriage did not actually happen and the original marriage reigned supreme.

Exception that proves the rule: Elend’s first engagement did not work out. Vin killed the fiancée. So it is slightly riskier to be engaged if you’re not a viewpoint character, if you’re secretly evil...or if you’re in Vin’s way.

Although...did Elend and Shan actually break up, or was their engagement only canceled by Shan’s death? I guess either way, it didn’t work out!

3. Your enemy will save you...if the sexual tension is high enough

As seen in: Elantris, Rhythm of War

Perhaps appearing in two books isn’t quite enough to call this a rule...but if I had a nickel, etc. Hrathen was Sarene’s enemy...but in the end, he kinda fell for her and ended up killing himself to save her. And in a strangely similar manner, Raboniel used her dying moments to save Navani...after Navani was the one to kill her. Then there’s Lewshi and Kaladin--neither sacrificed themselves to save the other, thank goodness, but Lewshi does help save Kaladin and/or his men on several occasions and their romantic tension is off the charts.

Exception that proves the rule: Even sexual tension doesn’t seem to be enough for Moash to not try to drive Kaladin to suicide. 

4. Your fave is (accidentally) queer

As seen in: Stormlight Archive, Mistborn

Sanderson has a tendency to write characters that he innocently believes to be straight...until readers point out how incredibly not-straight they are. Take Shallan, who is as bi as the day is long--which Sanderson admitted, I believe, once it was pointed out to him. Veil is canonically into women, at any rate. And Sanderson has said that both Shallan & Adolin would be open to adding Kaladin as a third, so Adolin is presumably bi as well, to no one’s surprise. Many readers--me included--read Kaladin as some flavor of ace, although again, that seems to be unintentional, canonically speaking. There’s also Lewshi, a woman inhabiting a male body, whose transness is not really talked about as such but is very present. And in Mistborn, there’s Wayne and his gender-fluid SO MeLaan, a queer relationship that I don’t think is ever really identified as such. 

And yes, there are also canonical queer characters in actual queer relationships, but so many more seem to be accidentally queer.

Exception that proves the rule: Sanderson insists that Moash is canonically straight...somehow.

5. Don’t trust the underling priest!

As seen in: Way of Kings, Warbreaker, Elantris

If there are suspicious things going on, look no further than your nearest, seemingly loyal underling priest. In Way of Kings it was Kabsal, who turned out to be an assassin. In Warbreaker, the seemingly helpful and awkward Bluefingers tried to sacrifice Siri on an altar. And in Elantris, while Hrathen never exactly trusted Dilaf, he did believe that he had him handled...which turned out to be a mistake, and Dilaf ended up being one of the big bads. The big bad? It’s been a while since I read Elantris.

Exception that prove the rule: Kadash seems like a good dude. I will be genuinely shocked if he tries to, like, murder Dalinar or something.

6. Hoid is there

As seen in: All of them.

Hoid has a supernatural ability to be present at all important moments in the Cosmere, so he can expect to find him in whatever book you’re reading. If there actually are Cosmere Rules, this would have to be one of them.

Exception that proves the rule: I don’t think he’s in all of the Arcanum Unbounded stories--like Shadow for Silence or Sixth of Dusk. So maybe if your story is short enough, you can escape Hoid?

It could be the only way.

[numberonetacostan]

not feeling very well so sending in some random thoughts that popped up! you know I am very curious about object anatomy as a whole, I imagine since the contestants aren't organic at all they PROBABLY work differently than actual objects not created by mephone4. If that's the case then what I imagine going on is that actual objects sort of follow a natural life cycle of objects in real life? which probably means a lot of them don't really live long enough. Objects like bubbles for example, hell even balloons, even if they manage to make it through childhood and adulthood by some miracle they know they really wont last long. I think the contestants do follow most of these rules (fragile ones like balloon and paper for example) but perhaps have more 'endurance' for saying in some way? like compared to actual objects outside the show their lifespan is more 'extended' than most. Of course it doesn't make them invencible they died pretty often after all but also a lot of it was due to being in very insane circumstances. I don't know why I picture some contestants being able to not retract their arms but 'detatch' them, its like that one taco headcanon. I think it would be pretty funny if objects like for example luz parts of their body act a bit like toys, detatch, re-attach, it would be extra funnier if none of them had any idea their bodies could do that. Imagine someone accidentally detatching pickle's arms and everyone is screaming and panicking but then pickle realizes- uh- he is not actually hurting? and after some inspection they manage to re-attach his arm like nothing ever happened in the first place. I imagine test tube would probably do some tests or research about it and honestly that'd be pretty fun! there is more though I want to put into all of it because object anatomy is just pretty strange and weird so yk? I imagine taco did know to an extend their bodies could do that because I think girlie is pretty flexible somehow, her arms sometimes fall of she re-attaches them, sometime they get caught up on her shell and she has to ask someone to help her get them off. She just seems like the type of object to be aware of that knowledge yeah? that's taco for you.

Hi Kiara!!^^ Welcome back, and thank you for sending in an ask!! :]

Object anatomy is a very interesting subject, and your idea with the contestants not being as organic as regular object is super neat!! Fragile objects not living long would probably be a sad reality in their world, so they'd end up being quite rare, yeah? Not only since they die so easily, but parent-objects would avoid making their kids fragile, yeah? Probably a lot of, like, rocks, since they're strong. It's interesting to think about the contestants being more durable than regular objects too, since we see them having insanely fast healing times in the show, with Knife's broken leg and Testy's broken arm in seasons 2 and 3 respectively.

YAY my detachable arms headcanon!! :D And none of the others thinking they can do that. I mean, Taco doesn't have shoulders, of course she can do weird arm things. Pickle. Pickle oh god where are your arms?? I like to think that Taco is under the impression that Pickle can retract his arms too since he didn't have any in The Stupid Trailer. He does not think he can but low and behold there they go. And Testy would find it so fascinating you're so right. Maybe sometimes armed objects could just... attach their arms to contestants like Baseball, Suitcase, etc., who don't have them. Just letting them borrow some arms. Or with Test Tube's research she could just make them some arms. OR they've had them the entire time and they've been retracted. I think that would be funny just because Nickel would be so pissed.

yES! My special girl Taco would know <3 She does weird stuff with her limbs all the time, she'd know a lot about it!! She just wouldn't know that no one else knew, lol. Every so often she accidentally pulls her arms out backwards. If she can't reach something she'll pull one arm out and hold it up with the other so she can reach. i lvoe you taco (misspelling intentional for accurate feeling).
