#idk about harrow tho lmao

[filo-academia]

if i had a nickel for every time a lesbian character has placed her devotion on a religious female figure from their religion only for that devotion to be challenged by their love for another lesbian, i'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

December prompt day 4: Yui & Harrow

(I.E the grandparents)

Initially I planned on having this be a snapshot from the past where they were younger, and have teen Jurou/Alistair cringing at the background, but decided to draw them in current timeline instead. IDK how they'd be able to be singing together in a club in public tho, given Harrow is a wanted criminal now...

Don't ask about what they are singing, I have NO clue what that song is, its just this random snippet that has been playing in my head. I dunno where it came from lmao

[radellama]

C, G, U, Z for the vg asks (can't believe I forgot to send any)

also (if you want) N and O, but you can't repeat what you said last time

C: Least Favorite Game of all time?

I've played a lot of crappy games, but I think it'd be a tie between chrono cross and aragami 2. I find it pretty funny that I dislike them for similar reasons- the core of what irritates me the most is that with the increased scope, they throw away any connection or continuity from the game they're apparently sequels to. Both could be fine, or even great games on their own (aragami 2 would need a massive bug and performance patch tho lol) but they failed in their job as sequels for me. That's what makes them hurt more, the clinging onto the brand name despite clearly not wanting to continue with the expectations of that identity 😔

G: What’re you currently playing?

Very slowly playing Bowser's Inside Story on my DS, but I haven't played it in a bit... And Re4 with you >:)

Hoping to start up one of the games I reeeeeaaaaaalllllyyyyyyy wanted to play this year but haven't had the chance to yet, but idk what I'll play. I miss my PS4 😭

U: Favorite Handheld title?

If we're going by sheer numbers, it'd be Tetris ultimate LMAO. I play that the most on my 3DS >:)

But, for a real answer... I might have to say Minish Cap. I really love that game, and the aesthetic of the toon style worked really well in pixel art form here! It was a nice story to play, and I was fascinated with the puzzles that revolved around the gimmick of being small haha. It's very cute, and I had so much fun playing it over and over as a kid

Z: Game character you most associate with?

Associate with what lol. This is weirdly worded, so I'm going to interpret it as a character I personally feel connected with - and that'd be frog from chrono trigger 🐸

I can relate to a lot of things he's going through and how he presents himself, and I admire a lot about him. Even tho Magus is my fave, frog is close behind, and I even made a little frog from these weird bead thingies to keep on my desk during high school as an encouragement charm (among others hehe)

N: Favorite protagonist?

Claire Redfield. She's just a super cool lady, I like how she's very proactive (didn't hear from her brother for a while, decided to come up and see what's going on), she's very clever and resourceful (basically everything in all the games, but especially Code Veronica), and she's able to think quickly and stay calm under pressure (her taking care of Sherry during the Raccoon City incident, and her taking care of Moira in Revelations 2- even going as far as adapting how she worked with Moira so she didn't have to use a gun as she was uncomfortable using one).

I also really like how she's not an action hero type where she's super into the action guns-a-blazing on the battlefield, she takes a much more humanitarian approach and wants to help continue the kind of work her brother does by working with organisations that help the recovery and rebuilding after the fact. It's unfortunate that she was kinda butchered and not given a chance to shine that way in the animated movies/show, because we already have basically the rest of the resi protag group to take care of the action hero archetype. I really appreciate that she's obviously taken her brother's teachings of combat and weaponry training to heart, and can step up when the situation calls for it, I'd just love to see her more where her passions seem to be where she's working with Terrasave and such.

O: Favorite antagonist?

Albert Wesker. He's got an iconic look with the sunnies, and the whole black leather thing going on. He's a double crosser, develops a god complex, and he's a little bit goofy.

He starts off a lot more suave and collected, only letting his ego slip through when he's let himself get caught and reveals that he's been a double crosser all along. There's not much textually (in the remake, but especially not the og lol) about how harrowing that must be- but I like thinking about how fucked it is that you literally trusted this man as your superior for AGES just to have him use that trust as he leads you to your deaths in order to collect combat data for the enemy.

After that point, he lets go if any pretence and just leans fully into the superiority complex he has and working in the shadows to get what he wants. In all honesty, he goes so completely off the rails that his ideas/motives as a villain don't make any sense, which betrays the supposed intellect he's got, however it does illustrate how far off the rails he's gone and how highly he thinks of himself. I like the early stages (re1-cv kinda era) where it's grounded, but still a little bit goofy. I still wanna write a prequel series about how he was inducted into Umbrella lmao

THIS!!!

THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!!!

So often I find myself appreciating Harrow’s depiction of her hallucinations and other mental illnesses because like fuck!! me too!!

And its not used as a scare tactic. Its not used as a once off thing that was magically foxed in which then made Harrow smarter and more brilliant, allowing her “true potential” to shine through after years of supposed adversity because of it! No!! She’s brilliant, but damnit she’s got problems! And she knows exactly how to navigate through said problems! She navigates some things better and some things worse because of these problems! And they don’t just go away when the plot gets convenient either. She just fucking has it, and has to live with it, and we all get to watch and understand it, without the bullshit fear factor movies wanna feed us!

Like I’m sorry that me seeing faces and bugs and shadows in the corners of my eyes is apparently freaky, news worthy material to you hollywood writers, but shit exists! It does, and no amount of horror content you make is going to rewrite the reality that people just exist with it. We go through day to day life, and we deal with it! On good days and bad days, life goes on.

I will also say tho that this post made me realize this is why I’m so much more perceptive than others around me 💀💀

Like yeah I have ADHD and Autism too, but yeah no I wouldn’t see all the little shit I do if it weren’t for the fact that my brain and eyes are always working overtime to triple check the reality around me

I feel like The Locked Tomb series has opened my eyes a lot more than I expected it to on my own funky brain issues and idk how to feel about it sometimes lmao

I could just be sitting here vibing and get IMMEDIATELY sucker punched with the reminder on exactly WHY Harrow is my highest kin

I am forever grateful for the balanced way Harrow’s psychosis is displayed. She is a rational person. She is able to evaluate data as sharply as anyone else. Maybe even more sharply than anyone else. She just isn’t sure if the data she is evaluating is all accurate. She reads as someone who has long since adjusted to this self-doubt about reality, and possibly as someone who’s intelligence was honed specifically by the process of needing to run every observation through rationality checks. It makes her weird, socially, but it also makes her very good at processing and deduction.

[theharrowing]

favorite chapter in a fic of yours is the one in collateral where mc goes to house of cards and witnesses the cruelty (and loyalty??????) of the family men for the first time. i have never stopped thinking of hoba being like "you will watch as they torture a man and you will learn a valuable lesson" (in creepier/more elegant words) like WHAT WERE YOU THINKING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH brilliant.

what i like the most about your writing is not only how descriptive you are but also how flawed and weird and worried and unhinged and raw and sometimes fucking terrifying your characters are. they all feel so real, like i could walk down the street and encounter any of them. it honestly has raised the bar so much for me.

obviously i am excited about you updating collateral, which i think you said you are taking a mini-break from, which is so so so fucking valid. shit is dark. i am also excited for white lies because boy blue is how i found you and i miss those fucking monsters very much.

thank you mother harrow! you're so cool and also thank you for turning anon back on because i had missed yelling. i need to catch up on the halloweenie fics and then i will yell!

ANON, HELLO HELLO!!!

Collateral chapter 8 is really the turning point, i think, both for me as the author of that fic, and for the reader. i also really enjoy that chapter a lot. (lmao "in creepier/more elegant words" feels like an apt description for a lot of the shit i write.) as for what i was thinking...??????????? idk honestly, my brain just goes places and does things and i do my best to keep up!

ugh, you're so kind. i really try to pull out as much from characters as possible, which can be quite tricky at times for some of the minor players. lmao i sure hope you do not walk past a lot of the types of people i write on the streets, tho!!!

i have been taking a teensy break from Collateral, but i am excited to continue it, and to finish it finally!!! god, what if i finished it this year???????? i thought i would have it done months ago, tbh, and that i would already be working on White Lies and Reconciliation by now. this semester has beat my ass. SOOOON. soon. I ALSO MISS THE WHITE LIE MONSTERS and i am excited to introduce you to the new mc!!! i hope people like her more than the Boy Blue mc haha.

THANK YOU ANON!!!! you are also very cool and i also missed hearing from my lovely anons, so thank you for saying hi and making me feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy!!! please do catch up on the 'weenie fics if you have a chance! most are short and sweet!!! please do yell anytime!!! 😍🥰💜

👉 talk to me, anons! 💌

[dolliedarlin]

Hi I’m one of the anons who’s obsessing over the P.A series!!!!! For some reason my brain has been full w diff things that could happen IDKKK! Hope u don’t mind if I dump a few....

TW: this is A bunch of rambling and some grammar errors LMAO sorry

Idk y I c y/n having a stalker💀 this prob sounds rlly weird but hear me out. (To add drama, also I Lowkey wanna c Mina,Sero and kiri get mad idk y-)

Since we all know y/n is the baddest most sophisticated b*tch (sorry idk if I’m allowed to cuss or not LMAO) her Ex lover is still obsessed w her and thinks that they are soulmate even tho they obv aren’t. I feel like y/n knows he stalks her but she ignores it until it gets worst. Like he found out where she lives. (He finds out where she lives while she’s sick which is now loll)

Anyways I feel like Mina would be over at y/ns place and since she’s getting better they are In her living room talking abt who knows what and y/n gets a knock on her door she goes to open it and admittedly closes it looking shocked. Mina being a pro hero is  supposed to be able to read body language. Mina ask her if everything is Alr and y/n OFC (stupid a**) says yes. Mina didn’t want to keep pressing the issue so she dropped it until it became a reoccurring thing with y/n and it’s not just her that noticed. She (y/n) is extremely hesitant to open the door and when she does she opens it a little bit. (And then idk her EX does crazy like breaks into her apt and scares the sh** outa y/n) THIS IS WHERE MY BIG IDEA STOPS 😭😭😭😭😭😭 that was a lotta rambling my apologies

Have a great day dollie!

oh no! please don’t feel bad, it’s always fun for me seeing what you dolls would want to happen next

although i don’t plan on bringing any psycho exes into ‘the p.a’ series, as a writer and an avid daydreamer, i can’t help but play around with this idea 

warning: there are brief mentions of violence ; this is not a part of ‘the p.a’ series but is just a little thought that i just couldn’t help but try my own hand at also ; i didn’t edit this either 😂 so kindly forgive any grammatical/spelling mistakes 

continuing on from your idea...

⏤mina, having the sneaking suspicion that something bad might happen to you that night, notifies the rest of the group later on that day

⏤usually, bakugou was in charge of you during the night and always sat in a chair beside your bed on high alert, ready to serve your every need...

⏤BUT!

⏤now that mina told them about your suspicious behaviour, all of them were put on high alert. 

⏤they all agreed to keep you unaware of their intentions by having bakugou take care of you like usual but they made sure that when on the night patrol, they were close by with their radios on and constantly being hyper aware of the shortest route to your residence from wherever they were situated - just in case of an emergency 

⏤naturally, they trusted bakugou with keeping you safe but that didn’t mean that they had no worries for you at all 

⏤seeing as you usually feel asleep before bakugou switched with the sero, who took care of you in the late evening, you were under the impression that you were alone at home 

⏤your current condition disallowed you from comfortably staying awake so you were constantly tossing and turning in bed, brows furrowed and sweating more than usual

⏤”what is she dreaming about?” bakugou utters in frustration as he continues to wipe away the vastly accumulating sweat rom your wrinkled brows

⏤he wasn’t frustrated at you no no, he was annoyed at the fact that he couldn’t make you comfortable no matter how many wet towels he uses to cook your forehead or wipe your sweat clean off your skin 

⏤as the night progresses, you eventually fall into a dreamless sleep, far too exhausted to continue stressing over your ex with the added burden of your fever on your body

⏤nevertheless, bakugou continues being on high alert at all times except for when he momentarily leaves to room so as to go to the toilet 

⏤this was the perfect opportunity for your crazy ex to sneak into your room via the window bakugou left ajar so as to help cool you down better 

⏤your ex was a creepy and disgusting man - someone that you had grown to dislike the more you got to know him and naturally left as quickly as you were able to 

⏤what followed was harassment to the highest degree, thankfully you were able to protect yourself due to your self defence training and quirk, however, it didn’t take away the shuddering feeling of being watched constantly

⏤you grew paranoid and extremely fidgety over time and eventually filled for a restraining order. unfortunately, that didn’t work and left you to deal with the situation yourself

⏤you were naive enough to think that you had shaken him after a particularly horrible beating he took from you in self defence. he had come at you with a knife but you were able to disarm him and send him limping home with a dislocated arm, a black eye and a bruised ribcage 

⏤over time, you got busy with work and slowly forgot about him, it wasn’t until today that you were reminded of his crazy obsession with you and were thrown into a panic 

⏤believing that you were alone at night and in your most vulnerable state, you didn’t feel safe and sought to deal with the situation however you could, even in your dreams

⏤all attempts were in vain, however

⏤bakugou, returning from his momentary break to the toilet came back just in time to see your creepy ex hovering over your sleeping figure. as if you sensed the unpleasant existence stalking you, your body stiffened under the blankets and you began to breathe uncomfortably, beginning to sweat bucket-fulls once more

⏤not wanting to disturb your sleep as rest was the top priority for you, bakugou crept up from behind the unknown figure and instantly went for his neck, choking him into silence as he dragged his thrashing figure outside, far away from you all the while sending a emergency signal to the rest of the squad 

⏤in no time at all, the rest of the squad arrived and had your crazy ex cornered. at this time he had already been tied up by bakugou and was ready for a quick chat 

⏤”what the hell were you doing with our yn?” kirishima began, sharp teeth grinding together as he clenched his jaw 

⏤silence 

⏤”speak up, we can’t fucking hear you,” bakugou spat as the others glared on from beside him, their eyes piercing through the moonlight and darkness of the night 

⏤”y-yn isn’t yours - that’s the first thing,” your ex finally cracked, giggling creepily in between 

⏤”you’re right,” sero began, “yn doesn’t belong to anyone so why were did you break into her house,” it took everything in sero not to lash out but they needed answers

⏤”wrong again!” your ex sang, “she doesn’t belong to you, she belongs to me! i’m her boyfriend!”

⏤”yn doesn’t have a boyfriend,” kaminari spoke up

⏤”that’s right! and if she did, we would have known,” mina agreed

⏤“that’s because she doesn’t know it yet, we broke up but we’ll get back together again soon” the tied up man giggled to himself, “it’s only a matter of time before she realises her mistake and she comes back to me,” 

⏤the team of heroes didn’t know what to say, they were so shocked and appalled at what they were seeing and hearing that they couldn’t bring themselves to utter a single word of response, they only listened further

⏤”i hoped she’d come back soon, anyway...but i was getting impatient so i had to try and convince her a little more. she’s been ignoring my love for her all this time, she can’t continue rejecting me for long...” he laughs, “i bet she misses it”

⏤“miss what...?” bakugou didn’t want to know but it had to be said

⏤”i bet she misses being with me. she’s so beautiful and so soft to the touch, she always smells good too and she has such a lovely voice - i want her all to myself, she doesn’t deserve to be anybody else’s”

⏤it was then that the team of heroes just about lost their minds. the creep before them didn’t say anything explicit but the madness in his eyes and the harrowing smile he was displaying was off putting. they dread to imagine what a lowlife nasty sob like him put you through but they saw flashes of unforgivable scenes that sent all of them into insanity 

⏤someone so precious to them didn’t deserve any such treatment. you may not have disclosed anything to them strict on being professional but if this man was willing to break into your house...they were fearful to think about what else he was capable of

⏤he deserved a beating from that act alone, actually, and a beating he got

⏤they could’ve killed the guy - they were more than tempted to and it would have been so easy...but he deserved to suffer in jail for his crimes against you so they held back no matter how painful that was for them 

⏤the very next day, under their authority and recommendation, the man was locked up for as many years as they could tally up and seeing as they were heroes, they were able to look into his past documentations and found you had filed a restraining order for him under harassment, assault and a number of other things they grew all the more furious at the more the read

⏤they would prefer it if you didn’t realise what they did that night but the media couldn’t let the story of 5 high class pro heroes sending a singular, beaten man to jail for life

⏤your creepy ex’s battered photos were all over the news and you were so incredibly grateful  

[stuffedsand]

Anyways hihi. I answer my own question. For context I was introduced by my sibling and watched some videos out of order before watching the voice trailers and song trailers. Anyways let's go

First character i "latched onto" (got super interested in) was actually mahiru!! Hence why she's still one of my favourites lmao. I Love You was a. A ride. And it's what truly got me interested in milgram. She gets to share the spot with muu tho for after pain and inmf being the first songs I listened to courtesy my sister :)

Oh also I remember that when my sister showed me after pain and asked me if I thought she should be innocent I said no because "she reminds me of a classmate/neg" which. I was right. But also the funniest way to procure an opinion on a character. Iirc the real reason was that I caught Bad Vibes from some of the lyrics' phrasing but idk.

Oh and I remember watching ily and being. Concerned. She'd earned an inno since I got into the project to the end of her trial lmao.

I think I also was interested in MeMe? Though not enough for it to leave a suuper lasting impression. From what I remember the last songs I listened to were Magic and Harrow cuz I didn't have time to listen to the whole playlist constantly + was more interested in the t2 songs overall

My current favourite(s) are obvious to everyone on this blog probably. Shidou n Kazui. Im constantly realizing more reasons why I subconsciously was so interested in their characters but I'll go for individual traits that made them stick out to me

Strange to say but the reason I was interested in shidou was the death penalty thing. And the fact that he was inno t1. I thought that was hilarious from a "fictional media" standpoint that the whole fandom decided to just. Not give him what he wanted. Even if it seemed he deserved it.

I believed the organ harvesting theory for at least 2 months. I think. Which makes it funnier that he's my favorite and makes it obvious that apparently the way to make me interested is to be inherently kinda funny. Cuz listen "organ harvester" is kind of funny ok. And it was funnier that he was innocent.

After the change in theory belief he makes me unreasonably sad but also intrigued in what caused such an extreme reaction and belief. Maybe this makes me strange but hey there's a reason I shouldn't study psychology )it'd make me too powerful)

Kazui was actually cuz of the gay kazui theory pre Cat release cuz I thought that was a funny, strangely substantiated theory that I assumed Cat was gonna disprove so I spent much of pre-Cat-release spinning around the theory till it was disproven. It wasn't it actually got more substantiated imo which makes it verrrrry funny to me.

Also because he makes me unbelievably sad all the time. Like what the fuck if his murder is what I think it is that's. Tragic. Tragic and realistic and aidbsusvdaugh.augh. also if it is what I think it is I get to point at kazui and go he just like me fr. Horrible.

Also Cat has a banger mv like hooooly shit. One of the best mvs so far imo.

Fun things that both have in common is that.

1) I generally disagree with the most common theory surrounding their murder in trial 1 specifically (organ harvesting theory, cheating theory)

This, ironically, makes me more insane Abt them cuz I get alllll the time in the world to think about what I think of them myself instead of using fandom interp. Encourages critical thinking (JOKE). I also get to then see someone's wildly different interpretation and get a whole different perspective!!!!!! Win win it's like peer reviewing. I might not agree with who I read the posts of but honestly I don't care much it gives me stuff to talk, think and jokingly complain to my friends about

2) their mvs have soooo many things and small details to point out that either give you a further insight to their murder or an insight into their character. It's so fun I love going frame by frame to see small details and symbolism. Like. Down to single 1 second frames or the line colours (haruka gets my attention for this too but that's a different post) or how the expressions can be read and. Look I take literature for a subject I'm bound to be attracted to these types of symbolism and to having the ability to pick up the smallest thing and make something out of it. Hell even in half how there are some moments I can't yet fully interpret that's what keeps me invested!!!! Wanting to see what happens!!!! What the next mv will reveal!!

3) on the point of symbolism!!!!!! They have my favourite forms of symbolism actually, flowers and theatre imagery. I once spent 3 hours searching up flower meanings for an art piece for my sibling like I wasn't even invested in the series it was for but she gave me flower ideas nd I ran w it. I'm in drama club. Love for theatre imagery is a given.

4) their songs SLAPPED and no one can tell me otherwise. That's the point that's it.

5) funny point but they continue the trend of me relating to/getting really interested in, in my friends words, "the kinda fruity middle aged to old people" which was the funniest description of my favourite character tropes???

6) oh yeah they're really easy to make fun of. That's what I need in a character.

7) also kind of a. Strange. Point. But I have a fascination with characters who explore the themes of grief and guilt over what isn't technically their fault (ie. Character doomed by the narrative:"this must be the concequences of my actions") and both shidou and kazui fit perfectly into that. Shidou is mourning his family but thanks to that feels guilt over the grief he's caused others. Kazui is mourning his wife whom he believes he's, in some way, caused the death of. They make me insane.

8) continuation of a briefly touched on point but their vagueness is one of the more intriguing things to me. Most of the other characters, while definitely nuanced and vague in their own ways, feel less so compared to these two to me. Cuz like kazui's whole deal is wanting us to find his lie, so we don't truly know what's up yet. Shidous thing is so. Confusing to me in a good way. Partially cuz, like mahiru, he seems to have a bit of a warped view of reality that directly relates to his crime. Maybe it's the liar imagery, the knowledge that they're keeping something hidden, that makes me want to look more closely and interpret the smaller details. Or I'm just insane.

Yeah I'm probably just insane. I have recently made Observations that a certain mutual will be hearing me go insane abt next week. anyways I'm gonna finish my homework goodbye milgramblr.

Send me your blorbo essays and dw if it's strange or long or "cringe" because dude look at mine. I will not and cannot judge because I am insane and j accept going crazy over characters

Ooh actually. People in the milgram tag tell me who the first character you latched onto was. And then tell me how you got attached to your current favourite. +Generally why they're your favourite. No word limit give me your blorbo essays plsplspls

[sparklingpax]

About that 18th episode of Masterforce.... The good thing is that Minerva didn't end up like Movieverse Jazz. Yikes

LMAO YEA TRUE (rip jazz tho 😔🤘🔥)

-Kuni :3

[crowncorvidae]

Lmao ok so this’ll probably be a long post but here’s all the songs I think everyone from each of the nine house would listen to from my Spotify library

((also feel free to judge my music taste))

Ninth house

Harrow- Okok so i have a lot to say about what music I think harrow listens to I think she’d like weird older gothic music cuz it’s kinda spooky kinda churchy kinda intense but so so good

Wytches - Inkubus Sukkubus

Gideon- you can’t tell me Nav wouldn’t fucking love like classic rock ,I’m genuinely sad she’ll never listen to things like Joan Jett, Heart, Pat Benatar. So I’ll give her 2

Bad reputation- Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

Heartbreaker - Pat Benatar

Eight house

Silas - I genuinely think mayo uncles music taste is similar to harrows but in a different way

Stigmata Martyr - Bauhaus

Colum - lmao ok I honestly don’t think he likes music, like I can’t find a song on my Spotify I think he’d sit down and enjoy, he probably just second hand listens to Silas music and doesn’t enjoy it

Seventh house ((htn tho cuz I say so))

Dulcie- Miss “horny for revenge” LIVES for Florence + the machine, just enough kick ass + a lil romancey vibe but in a dope witchy way

Cosmic love - Florence + the machine

Protesilaus-I personally like to think he listens to like “tough” dad music

Fortune son- Creedence clearwater Revival

Sixth house

Palamedes - he’s chill he probably likes like chill but rad tunes but his Taste isn’t exactly “mainstream” liking smaller name bands or lesser popular songs from big name artists genuinely , he likes things like passion pit, the pixies and Portugal.the man

Basic space- The XX

Camilla- she likes bad bitch music and most of pals music also

Didn’t come to play- Dope saint Jude

Fifth house

Abigail- I think she likes Stevie nicks like I can just feel it in my bones, she likes the chill but sometimes odd vibes

Sisters of the moon- fleetwood mac

Magnus- ok y’all knew this was coming he like full on “dad” music but more on the like low key silly dad kinda way but it’s good music so no one can complain

Brown eyed girl- van Morrison

Fourth house

Isaac- the kiddos like the “new wave punk “ ish kinda edgy music but it’s so cool

The Phoenix - fall out boy

Jeannemary- she likes cool kinda punk music kinda just catchy and good jams hah no further questions ((she can have 2 as a treat))

Molotov girls- The Zolas

Cry baby - destroy boys

Third house

Coronabeth- she listens to baddie music only

Mans world- Marina

Ianthe- she also listens to baddie music but enjoys weird bands a little bit more, like Harley Poe, the mountain goats and will wood

Magpie- the mountain goats

Naberius- ok hot take I think it unironically likes stupid pop trash music, it started as a joke cuz the twins would play it around him but he started to actual like it, makes him feel like a bad bitch lmao I think he’d vibe w YUNGBLUD also

What are you waiting for- Gwen stefani

Anarchist- YUNGBLUD

Second house

Judith - she tough but I think she likes a little bit more chill tunes, music you can listen to and still think and enjoy

Be nice to me- the frontbottoms

Lone Ranger - Rachel platten

Marta- she even tougher but shes got good music taste, little more fast paced not aggressive music but more so then judiths

Survive- the moog

First house

((but I have less reasoning for them))

Mercymorn- her music is?? Interesting, it’s good and sounds good but there is something kinda strange about it but not super sure why?? I mean listen to the song it’s self explanatory

Scary world- night club

Augustine- he gives off a certain bastard energy that can only be described as cage the elephant, no I will not elaborate

Mess around- cage the elephant

John- similar to Augustine, he gives specific bastard energy BUT a different kind, his music reflects this

Teeth- 8 graves

Bonus

okokok more about harrowhark for a sec , we all joke she’d be into emo music like MCR BUT I think she’s actually more AFI circa 2003 in terms of “emo” music

Silver and cold-AFI

Ortus - I have no proof and no reason but I think he’d like most Mumford & sons songs

The cave- Mumford & sons

Nova- ok so I don’t think nova would listen to music at all BUT if she had to it would be like hardcore metal or the weirdest aggressive church gothic music possible

Dead souls - sopor aeternus & the ensemble of shadows

Livestream - veil of maya

Wake- Okokok not music I think she’d listen to BUT I have a song that’s vaguely her vibe and idk where else to put it so enjoy!

massacre -kim pertras

[jetblacknewyear]

Me & my house mate have taken the obscure notion to be watching all the pokemon movies this past week .... i think we r aiming to watch them all. Tho i myself have only watched up until the end of gen 4 and that absolute garbage cg remake of the first one. Anyway some thoughts-

Nostalgia is an absolute farce & sometimes 4 kids over saturate the pokemon voices way 2 much and the meme of me enjoying childhood hyper fixation absolutely fizzles out for a second into i feel like a parent watching this or someone who has never seen pokemon in my life and is just like . What . Which is very not tru bc like i love pokemon lmao. but mayb its the curse of capitalism and knowing the shallow plots r built just to sell a product makes this like tumultuously evident?

I cant believe they actually went and tried 2 do their own ghibli movie w the 4th movie. And im high key accosted w the cg, it had actually some of the prettiest cinematography in these movies and decided to wipe its entire ass with its own shit.

Also idk if they still do this but . I never realised how much they love implementing god awful cg into theze movies. Like its BAD. not even redeemably good and makes transitions between scenes all the more harrowing. I understand its y2k its all about using sweet revolutionary tech. But I feel like if yr not pixar in 2004 and you dont have their fat wallet. Its fucking pointless. Nyway nothing has aged well at all.

Like all the hoenn movies r tortuously slow & badly plotted except the lucario movie is genuinely charming especially if you were angsty as all hell in 2008 and love watching wolf with psychic powers mourn his bf for an hour & a half. Also medieval pkmn half hour I guess

The villains r actually quite interesting in these movies! And kind of makes me wish pokemon anime itself was more narrative wise strong? Some of the characters ie the girl jewel thieves in the 5th movie fucking rule. Would hav bin cooler to tie in these movies w anime plot or something better....

I feel like also w the movies nintendo r just like . We gottaaaa uhhh promo this new fucking cat thing can youuu like uhhhh. Do something . And tv tokyo just has to take it at face value and be like . Yeah. Bc I genuinely dunno if anything ab the anime has anything faithful 2 the games.

Anyway in terms of banger plots. The og 3 r yr standard good tho i think the second is eugh whatever lmao. But anyway The 9th one fucks so hard? Darkhorse of the movies imo but its been like the most consistent plot wise? And just really fun!like atlantis......

Also sad pkmn ranger got its ass handed to it bc it was a sick concept?

I wish the 5th one had a better plot but i think I really like these movies when it’s the animators like hehehe we are in pokemon venice doing silly things. First half of it is gr8. Bc the minute it hits legendary pokemon garble plot im like aughhhhhhhhh shut the fuck up go back to the gif of vaporeon drinking water from an out door tap.

I will come back 2 this when we start watching the movies i havent seen lmao. We r 2 start gen 4 next and i cant remember if any of those movies r descent bc they’re all super unmemorable.

This has bin fun so far. Obviously im just typing my gripes & the demographics for these movies r not for me. but still interesting to rewatch after like 12ish years ?

[queenjanai]

You said in a fic that Amaya and Sarai are Asian and Jewish coded in the show (I hope it was you anyway lmao), I know basically nothing about Jewish culture but like,,,, can you tell me more?? What makes them Jewish? Do you have any other Jewish headcannons for them? Idk, whatever you wanna write! Have a good day!

heeyy yeah i’m the one who said that! so first of all, i'm jewish, so the first thing i noticed were the jelly tarts, which are exactly like a pastry called hamantaschen we eat on a holiday called purim (halloween). then i saw a post about how sarai comes from "sara" which is the first jewish mother in our bible, and that ezran comes from "ezra", another name from the bible. idk if all of these were intentional, but the jelly tarts were, and it personality makes me very happy that my favorite characters have jewish hints about them- even if i'm reading into it too much

jewish culture... it mainly revolves around our holidays. i don’t wanna bore you, you can just google jewish holidays. i made a post with headcanons but i can’t find it now (thanks tumblr for your incredible search engine). i’m gonna put what i remember under a read more:

harrow’s favorite holiday is hanukkah, he loves the sufganiyot (only the simple, traditional, jam filled ones. he doesn’t like all the fancy variations). sarai’s favorite holiday is purim bc of the hamantaschen. she has a year long supply and won’t tell anyone where she gets it from

amaya’s favorite holiday is rosh hashana (new year’s eve, basically). she likes the apple dipped in honey, and her favorite treat is the bread dipped in sugar (instead of the usual salt)

janai’s not jewish but she’s crazy about lag baomer (its a day where everyone does bonfires). she almost asked amaya to marry her when she told her about it just so they can do it every year. they roast marshmallows over the fire.

callum and ezran love sukkot (we basically sleep in a tent for like a week. that sounds bad. you should really look it up) because of all the decorations they can make. sarai and harrow hang decorations they made as babies every year

everyone hate passover (you can’t eat anything with flour- only this dried bread we call matza). everyone want passover to be over. sarai broke the nice plates for the big dinner and didn’t tell harrow she did it. he mourns the plates still

i swear it’s all food with us

i’m not sure.. if harrow was jewish before he married sarai. maybe half? anyway he digs it all

everyone love shavuot tho. it’s basically a spring holiday where we eat a lot of diary food, so italian party it is. pizza, pasta, quiche, pastries. sarai LOVES it. it’s amaya’s cheat holiday so she eats whatever she wants

i’m just thinking about janai celebrating all of these with the family. it’s just so sweet *sobs*

“yeah i’m gonna marry this woman”

so this is all i’ve got. thank you so much for the ask! have a lovely day

[purfectprincessgirl]

Sooo... TDP Season 3 is finally out and...

...I’ve got... SO many feels about it : o 

((SPOILERS BELOW))

Zym and Bait continue to be precious lil beans and I love em >w< Zym’s especially reminding me of my sis’ new pup irl so all his puppy-like cuteness kept killing me every dang time 😭❤️

Poor Rayla being so excluded from her own people like that... all over something her parents “supposedly” did that didn’t even turn out to be true ;-; Someone pls give her a hug 

RUNAAN’S HUSBAND ETHARI IS HERE AND HE’S SO PRECIOUS~! 💕Seeing that flashback of him and Runaan just being so soft and loving to eachother before this big mission... only for Runaan to befall a tragic fate and leaving Ethari so alone now q-q Luckily that one shot of Runaan’s flower faintly glowing underwater could give us some good hope of a reunion between them one day... T-T

Sooo, looks like Rayla and Callum are canon now? :O Huh, that’s cool ^^ Admittedly I wasn’t too big a shipper of them in the previous seasons so I was a bit unsure at first at how to take in all of this sudden ship-teasing in-between all this serious war stuff happening... but it all turned out surprisingly pretty heartfelt by the end and it’s at least refreshing that they didn’t wait til like, the very last season(s) to bring them together or whatever (unlike some other annoyingly-dragged out “will they/won’t they?” ships in certain other shows >.>). I wish these two the best of luck for the upcoming TDP season(s) 👍

Callum’s getting pretty powerful now with these new spells he’s learning... wonder if he’s gonna find any limit with that or if he’s gonna go the straight up Avatar route of just obtaining all the magic arcanums? Either way, I’m intrigued : o 

Also speaking of which did anyone else just scream at that lil boomerang mention? Aaaaa thank you for my daily Sokka feels T-T

I’m... really conflicted on how they handled Claudia here .-. I mean, I still love her as a whole and I’ll admit that I am pretty intrigued to see how she handles being on the same side as not just her dad but Aaravos as well now... but, I honestly feel like she was a bit too trusting of her dad here? ^^; Like, girl... you just saw Viren turn everyone into freaky lava monsters and the way he kept harshly brushing off Soren... why so quick to still take Viren’s side in all this? o.o Guess that’s an unfortunate side effect of having a manipulative prick like him as a father... I just hope she’ll somehow find the light of it by the next season or so. Poor thing deserves better :c 

On the plus side though, Soren was SUCH a pure bean here and I couldn’t be any prouder that he was able to break free on the good side now~ :D. Never stop being you, boi 💜

Viren’s still a stubborn jackass... surprise to no one ever lol Wonder how long he’ll be able to keep up this "having good intentions at heart” schtick... he doesn’t have much left now except his daughter and “little bug pal”, so... lol

Now Aarovos on the other hand... oooh was he just fun here~ ;p Being able to move around more freely in that spirit form as Viren prepared his army... lowkey acting like a playful troll the whole time (ex. laying around on his spirit-horse while Viren talked) but still putting up the “charming yet intimidating” villain card well when the time called for it. That very last cliffhanger tho... idk if this means his bug form is gonna grow into some freaky butterfly now or if Aaravos is actually regrowing his actual body in a physical form but either way, I’m hyyyped~ ;D ngl tho am I the only one who kinda thought at first Claudia killed his bug body to bring back her dad? lmao

The other characters were pretty entertaining here in their own ways too~ Love how Amaya was her usual bamf-ass self but yet still soft enough to convince Janai on her side :3. Poor Janai losing her sister though... arrogant or not, that was a pretty harsh fate she went through o.o 

Hurray for Gren coming back in one piece~! :3 And that Sunfire linguist that was helping to translate Amaya’s words for Janai was pretty cute too~ ^^

King Ezran is so strong and resourceful at his young age ;w; Harrow would be so proud~

Speaking of Harrow... whoa, that flashback with him and Viren though : o Twisting his grief over his deceased wife enough to convince Harrow to bring down Zym’s dad... ouch

Nyx was a fun little character with a pretty design... kinda wish she stuck around more for the end though, but hopefully we’ll see some more of her in the next volume? 

I... did NOT expect to see lil Aanya show up with her whole army with her... but boy was I hype for it~! 👏 Now THAT is a queen :D

Overall, I say it was a pretty fun season as a whole, and I can’t wait for the next to come (if it does soon) ^w^

[tartareus]

who is della? she's so hot. is she canon?

          hello, hello ! how do you do ? okay so, first lemme say YAAASSS, she's a piece of work isn't she ? i love my dramatic baby witch so much sidse babett knudsen - she's not only gorgeous but also ??? very talented ??? off to the main question, then !           i am so sorry for not having all her info up yet - truly, life has been crazy these days! either way, i will throw here some stuff that makes it plotting/rping with della rather easily.           yes, she is canon - but not from caos netflix series ! if you note, in my muses directory i have placed her under the comic books character ( alongside with edward as well, but that's another story ) due to the fact that she was originally from sabrina the teenage witch comics && later got a small role in the chilling adventures of sabrina comics.           here's the short intro about her character from the sttw comics wiki: "Della, the Spellmans' head witch. A strict, short-tempered authority figure, Della does not approve of Sabrina using magic to help others.", she's usually showing up in the early comics and plays a similar role to a high priest to be honest, however it is much more of a desk job - really.          in tcaos comics she is not present in most volumes, but she is the one responsible for sabrina's dark baptism ( which, my friend, is  A LOT different and DARKER than the show ), in fact, she is the one who conjures satan himself ( with the blood of the goat that was sacrificed by sabrina ), there are also some allusions to her and other witches being taken by the dark lord - but imma head out and def not touch in this subject at all rn lmao           now she is never known in depth by the canon source material, which is a shame considering she is, at least in the sttw comics, responsible for sabrina's witchy conduct and training too. also, she won miss hex appeal in 1962 ( which we are led to believe that is some sort of beauty/hex contest ? ), which is cool once you ignore how painfully sexualised she was in the comics.          in the original comics, she was very mean to mortals, and did not accept sabrina mingling with them unless it was to hex them - which, btw, was one of the weekly tasks she gave brina. she was also very good at teleporting, and did so often times inside the spellman household, she apparently did not mind showing up at random ass times outta the blue and scaring the living shit of sabrina lmao, she was sharp but actually cared for sabrina.      in the caos comics, however, she was very religious ( in fact, she is pretty much dressed as a satanic nun, horns and everything, and although she wears a lot more of clothes, she is still portrayed as some sort of sexy vamp but again, i am not going there ) and truly mean to sabrina - i mean, once the whole dark baptism went to shit thanks to harvey and madam satan's interference - calling her a mutt ( i hated this ) for being half mortal, and pretty much commanding the coven to hun and eat sabrina's mortal boyfriend before he had the chance to tell anyone what he had witnessed in the woods.         i gathered as much info on her as i could, and worked my way into the tv series canon - ofc there are some major differences but other than that she is pretty loyal to the source material. here are some things to be noted:

apparently she is very strong conjurer ( in the tcaos comics at least ) and a quite talented at hexing people

sabrina said she accidentaly created the twist, you know, the dance, after hexing a mortal that was dancing twist and shout

her familiar appears to be a puma ?? its actually a wild feline, idk what it is to be frank but i know it is not a normal, house pet like, familiar - its feral.

she wears a lot of capes and overdresses a lot in contrast to the other characters, in fact the only time in the comics when she wore normal clothes was when she was retiring and was wearing her nightie

she is very easily annoyed, it seems, and quite strict with everyone ( including sabrina’s aunts )

she’s also always on time “a witch in time, saves nine”

in my portrayal, though, i have given her some other things to be aware of:

she was classmates with hilda, almost flunked at bubbling had it not been for her

since they have the high priest over what originally was her work, i have kept her title but amplified it - since in the tcaos and in the sttw comics she was shown to be close ( if not an actual member of ) the witches council, i have given her a job under them, she oversees some covens around the globe and reports to the council. i hc that there are plenty of head witches for all over the world, but they all report to rome

btw i hc that the council is set mainly in rome, in a sort of vatican organization where the elders and most powerful warlocks and witches are members. they decide the stuff.

she has  a werewolf fur coat, made from a rabid werewolf that tried to kill her.

her hair was originally pitch black, but she keeps it crimson red because she likes the colour best

her relationship with zelda is rocky due to their academy years - hilda was harrowed quite badly by her own sister and this marked della

della is an orphan, and as such has no last name - well, she had one but her family was so old and into the conjuring business ( where, according to the tcaos comics one should never reveal their full name to a demon ) so that they ended up changing it a lot. she likes to make up stories about the possible heritage she has tho - so dont believe her if she claims to be descendant from merlin or from the bathory countess

she is tasked to investigate the murders and the issues in greendale, which is where i usually start my interactions

[saltine-kakyoin]

15. five most influential books over your lifetime

oH GOD.. this one is tough, i will have to mfin Dig thru my memories skks. A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki is such a WONDERFUL piece of fiction, it shook my whole soul when i read it as a sophomore and i still think about it... First They Killed My Father + Lucky Child by Loung Ung were really harrowing and educative reads about the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, and both of these really shaped how i view military occupations + other politics. The Little Book of Hygge + The Life Changing Art of Tidying Up are simpler reads, but they really slapped me in the face + made me realize i was driving myself into the ground just by the way i was living. ik we all love marie kondo- if you haven’t had a chance to read her book, I definitely recommend it!! :3

19. which Harry Potter house would you be in? or are you a muggle?

i wanna meet the legends who answer this by saying they’re a muggle.. That is BDE at its finest. i’ve taken a few quizzes over my lifetime, and they all agree i’m a gryffindor?? but i just can’t see it. i’m like a ravenclaw w hufflepuff tendencies yo. :(

21. do you love easily?

SO *cracks knuckles* i am. a clown. I become infatuated really easily, but romantically?? idk i struggle to actually love. platonically tho, hell yeah. i give my love out by the bushel yo, we’re all jus sufferin in this mad world + a little bit of love can go a long way!

23. how often would you want to see your family every year?

this is a fun question bc my sister + her fiance + their son moved out a few months ago, and I’ve been dealing w withdrawal and separation anxiety ever since lol. ideally, the longest i ever go without seeing them would be like. 6 months. i don’t think i could go any longer than that lol. The rest of my family can yeehaw, they all have really yikey things about them so if I don’t see them for multiple years at a time then like... that’d be ok lmao

25. could you live as a hermit?

NO. i don’t like to go out That Much but i need social interaction, without it i’d Die

29. three songs that you connect with right now

The first one would be Crossing a Bridge from the musical, Anastasia! Once this upcoming semester is over, my life is going Heavily Askew and part of me is super excited for it. part of me is also deeply terrified lmao! i’m jus halfway between where i’ve been and Where i’m going.. the second would be Hysteria from the Light in the Piazza, for the same reasons. i have where i’m going and what i’m doing mapped out, but actually following that plan is *SCREAM* yk?? but i’ll make it work. i just have to not overthink it lol The third is California by Childish Gambino!! it’s a funky song that reflects my Funky State of Mind rn, esp about probably moving to tennessee?? “she want to move to california/she must have lost her fucking mind” like bro me @my own damn self lmao!!

[Days later]  

// 16th of November, Tuesday; 10:00 AM //

The snow drifted in a downward trajectory, sprinkling the windscreens of cars, forcing itself into the crevices of shop fronts and mounting against the pavements; a gentle reminder of the equally as cold and brazen commands that had been executed in Detroit, imprinting darkly on its history. Fingers curled around the metallic handle of the door, the dragging motion in which followed was swift and effortless, presenting the area hidden within. The automated system governing his movements took over, as he found himself walking inside the building.

Surprisingly, the steady ticking of the digital clock was the first thing he noticed. Its systematic song a reminder of the obsession humans had with time; a reminder of their impermanence and the seconds, minutes, hours, even days, they’ll never get to relive. Yet, what was a disturbing human thought, their reality, to an android?

Next, were the masses of people within the department’s waiting room. It seemed busier than what he assumed a typical police station looked like, and the hurried bodies scuttling in and out of the door only heightened his assumption. Shoulders, whether intentional or not, (he knew how turbulent and volatile the relationship between machines and humans were), barged into his own form, forcing him to sidestep. As hands moved to readjust his jacket, an ingrained habit, the hushed whispers shared between others piqued his interest; small words such as  ‘deviants,’ ‘revolution,’ ‘Cyberlife,’ were thrown around, and it was clear that the recent insurgency had shaken everyone up. The TV in which had initially blended in with the background was the third thing he noticed, and it only proved the fact further. Bullins covering the latest updates on androids, ‘the android question,’ and the debate about their place among society was broadcast.

“All deviants have allegedly been terminated, the figurehead for the android liberation movement, Markus, has been confirmed as ‘destroyed,’ alongside the androids who assisted in the rebellion’s planning on November 11th — models PL600, PJ500, WR400. While androids themselves are slowly being accepted back into the household, Cyberlie life has suffered significant repercussions; their sales reaching its lowest, since their inception. Despite this, Cyberlife has assured models directly within stores are “deviancy free,” and are, thereby ready to integrate into “home life.” Yet, with recent events, this has understandably been met with apprehension.

“Congress has been quick in its legislative response regarding the uprising and have announced stricter android laws to prevent similar occurrences. The bicameral system, with both the House of Representatives and the Senate strongly voting in favour of the bill, will most likely be implemented later this month; more on that later.”

“Alarmingly, an unidentified android, who has been sighted numerous times with the deviant leader and his inner circle, is yet to be discovered by the authorities.”

The screen transitioned, displaying poor, almost wholly unidentifiable shots of the machine in question, and if it hadn’t been for his enhanced optical units, he would not have been able to run scans. Quickly, the analysis proved itself ineffective as a profound red warning, flashed into view.

-------------------------------------

[X]

RK900: ACCESS DENIED;

NO AUTHORISATION;

-------------------------------------

Perplexed, he immediately ceased his search, tuning back into the TV for information, seemingly as it was his only resource at that stage. The blond news anchor, Rosanna Cartland, continued.

“Although it is still only early days, and the deactivated machines scattered amongst the outskirts of Detroit are currently being sifted through, authorities have stated that “it is almost certain” the android will be located. Officials have yet to comment on the subject, and, just like Cyberlife when asked about this specific, unknown model, they have remained reticent.”

“This begs the question: what is Cyberlife hiding? Is Cyberlife, the multi-trillion dollar empire, as innocent as we initially thought? Or are there darker forces at play? Corruption; greed; the bribing of executives? Who can we trust, now that technology has proven itself a threat to humanity’s very existence?”

With the woman’s harrowing last words, the report ended, an abundance of advertisements promptly replacing the substance, and the room that had momentarily silenced to hear the news had struck back up again; most noticeably, in fear. The android hesitated for a moment, eyes monitoring the screen longer than usual, only managing to snap out of his processing when deciding it was no longer of importance. The android swiftly turned his attention away from the TV and returned to his objective, moving to approach the front desk. Greeted by a female ST300 model, who was handling the reception, he quickly gained access to the heart of the building. After passing the mandatory security evaluation, he pushed his way past the crowd, and the small, glass automatic doors, with his aim, clearly displayed.

----------------------------

FIND  LT. REED

----------------------------

Desks, most of which were void of workers, stretched out across the floor. The disorder had undoubtedly propelled the department into havoc, as stacks upon stacks of files decorated most cubicles. Deviancy had been a nuisance to deal with, the number of reports before the revolt had surpassed that of any other state — Detroit, somehow, being the nucleus, outshone any other major city. Quickly, it had spread like a plague of locusts and thus, the damage it had caused, both directly and indirectly, had reached a boiling point. This buildup of paperwork was the kind that would hold employees back for days on end; there was no escaping that.

Roaming, yet attentive, he scanned the name tags attached to the round corners of the tables, only halting when one particular work surface seized his attention. Bland, beige boxes covered the surface — variety, among the blinding sea of paper — and while most of the contents, he assumed had once decorated its top, had been packed away, the forgotten newspaper clips, remained; hanging from the transparent wall. Bright, bold headlines read:

‘DETROIT POLICE DISMANTLE A NETWORK OF RED ICE DEALERS’

‘DETECTIVE ANDERSON PROMOTED TO RANK OF LIEUTENANT’

‘NEW RECORD SEIZURE OF RED ICE IN DETROIT!’

Grey eyes speedily skimmed through them, coming to the rather natural conclusion that the workspace had once belonged to a ‘Hank Anderson’. His analytical interface had already been conjured, and as he ran the name through the system’s search, a plethora of results manifested, ranging from behavioural reports — mostly negative, after the point of 2036 — to his birth certificate, occupation, and thus, his death.

Anderson, Hank

----------------------------------------------

Status: Deceased; suicide

Born: 06/08/1985 // Ex-police Lieutenant

Criminal record: None

----------------------------------------------

Stepping back, he took one last glance at the mess, before redirecting his gaze toward more of the stations. Moments passed before he eventually found the one in which corresponded with his mission. The desk was messy and impersonal, utterly contrary to Hank’s, and judging from the small feline follicles scattered across the counter, and along the chair’s upholstery, the Lieutenant owned a cat. This information alone wasn’t enough to determine definitively the type of person the Lieutenant was, but if his desk space was an indicator, he seemed lazy. Letting the piles, which evidently spanned longer than the timeframe of a few days, to build up, clearly only delving into the theory component when he absolutely had to. However, despite this, there were elements even if they were small, that were commendable. The subtle efforts of professionalism that occasionally cracked through the lax exterior were displayed by the lack of sentimental trinkets.

As if on cue, the quiet tapping of keyboards, the soft hum of the air conditioning and the irregular computer notification, which were directly paralleled with the noise in the department’s waiting room, was interrupted by the harsh slamming of a door. Shifting his gaze ahead, toward the source of the sound, he saw a figure transcend the stairs, muttering curses with hardened eyes and furrowed brows. The man had just exited the centred glass office, of whom he had guessed was Jeffrey Fowler’s, and after a quick analysis, it was clear that the furious man was Lieutenant Gavin Reed. The android waited patiently at his new partner’s desk, watching like a hawk as the troubled man’s eyes transfixed on the floor, lost in thought — practically refusing to look at anything else.

Once the man arrived, still in his own world, he dropped the miscellaneous items he was carrying, onto whatever free space he had left. Gavin, unnerved by the overwhelming sense of being watched, snapped out of his trance and looked toward the direction the sensation was originating from. The glare that had instinctively formed, then morphed into that of shock once he realised the android’s presence, his head rounding to double take.   

“What the fuck? Connor?” He asked, exasperated, looking the android up and down hardly believing his eyes.

“Incorrect, I am its successor, RK900. ‘Connor’ is no longer in function.” The android replied, matter of factly.

The tension was thick, and it was evident by the Lieutenant's clear standoffish body language, that he was uncomfortable. The RK900 model immediately deduced that it was his presence in which exacerbated his dismay.  

“If only the rust bucket could have stayed dead.”  

Sighing, Gavin ran his hands through his hair, turning away from the android. “That means you’re my new partner.”

The words conveyed disbelief, so much so that it was as if someone had told him he had just been demoted. The scoff that left his mouth was in pure repugnance, and it was at the moment the RK900 model knew that his new partner was going to take a lot of patience. Despite this, he fully committed to the task at hand.

// G A V I N ▼ //

“Affirmative. I am here to assist you on homicide investigations and, on the 0.1% chance it hasn’t been quarantined, deviancy cases. This is a precautionary measure Cyberlife has employed to—”

“That asshole didn’t say anything about a fucking android. Fuck!” He growled, ranting more to himself than anything.

Gavin, suddenly reared back around, after grasping the situation, and marched towards his new ‘partner’, straightening his form in an apparent attempt to intimidate. The android remained stationed, stoic and unaffected as Gavin, who was reasonably shorter than the machine, started jabbing him in the chest with his index finger.

It would have been an amusing sight to behold if there had been anyone around to witness it, as Gavin had clearly failed in his aggressive approach.  

“You screw up once, big or small, and you’re through. I don’t care how fucking expensive you unnatural pieces of shits are, I’ll put a fucking bullet in your head. Are we clear?”

// S O F T W A R E  I N S T A B I L I T Y ▲ //

Gavin was met with a vacant nod, and that was enough to convince him, the android sustaining his emotionless front.

“Fucking plastics...”

// 16th of November, Tuesday; 5:00 AM //

Days had passed since you had first stumbled across the old warehouse. Dark, dank and abandoned, you found refuge in the secludedness, almost certain, at least for the meantime, that you were safe. It had been hours since you had last seen outside, finding comfort in the consuming, yet ever-present darkness; the only constant in a rapidly erratic existence. It had been minutes since you had accessed your memory, replaying — no reliving — the annihilation of innocents. Long since had you ripped the guards uniform from your shaking body, the blue blood well-soaked into the material; contrasting colours clashing. Although the remnants should have evaporated, it remained; your optics still able to trace the residuum — a continual, consecutive reminder of hatred and loss. It disgusted you.

The wound you’d suffered had effectively been treated, cauterised, and your artificial skin had somewhat repaired itself, disguising the damage, leaving what could only be described as a scar, in its wake; but yet, your thirium levels remained low. Unlike Jericho, before it fell, you didn’t have the option to replenish the drained stores, and with all things considered, it would undoubtedly be a while before you could…

Unless...

The days of recession ended. The darkness exchanged, in turn for the sunlight that had once shone so freely on your form. To blend in with the humans, observing, waiting; at least for a while until the opportunity to strike presented itself. The absence of your LED, removed long ago, was enough to aid your cover. However, the once clean, now tattered clothing, which enveloped your body was far from subtle. A desperate change of clothing was required.

Markus had worked too hard — fought too hard to keep the movement alive — and for it to be crushed the way it had...it was impermissible.  

If deviancy had started once before and spread at such a rate, like wildfire, then it would start again. With your urging, who’s to say it ever died?

Phase one was about to begin.

-----------

16th of November, Tuesday; 7:30 AM

Delicate hands had reached out toward the thin, white lines overhead. The clothes you oh so desperately needed, swung, gently flowing with the wind. Fingers wrapped around the small wooden nubs, squeezing as the pegs capitulated. There, in the middle of the lonely ally, with the sun newly risen, you changed. Black jeans, a plain black shirt, boots and a long, black coat decorated your form; the coat’s tail closely trailing behind as you made off with purpose.

The streets of Detroit, for the first time in days, had mostly reverted back to its old, lively self, the obnoxious blaring of the horns, an old familiar song. Your determined steps and the soft crunch of snow beneath, which followed, merged in with the background and the smell of newly fresh, yet still, slightly damp materials filled your senses.

Cotton, polyester, linen, denim, wool.   

Rounding the corner, merging with the busy streets, you blended in with the crowd. It was strange being so close to the very beings you detested; their bodies seldom brushing past, bumping an arm or grazing the back of your hand. At times, it was difficult to keep your annoyance hidden, and your emotions restrained, but what Markus had taught you — to have patience — was enough to hold your tongue. You had work to do, and you weren’t going to let something as minuscule as that distract you.  

As you walked, snippets of conversation were forced into your earshot, most of which consisted of the irrelevant, self-indulgent rubbish humans generally talked about. However, as you travelled father, angered voices caught your attention, halting whatever other conversation you had tuned into.

“Thing’s a piece of shit!” The distinctive male voice spat.

“It’s not going to get anything done if you keep hitting it like that, Edwin!” A female replied this time, clearly irritated with the other.

“It’s the most advanced form of technology! If it can’t handle a push and a shove here and there, then what the fuck else is it good for, huh?”

The discourse, as you pinpointed the voices, was clearly ahead, and you tried your best to maneuver between the surrounding bodies to get a closer look. Not long after, a crash was heard.

“Edwin, now look what you’ve done, you’ve made him drop the groceries!”

“Are you fucking kidding me? I didn’t do shit, the thing should learn how to walk properly.”  

You had effectively located the disturbance near the footpath, directly parallel to a supermarket, and you watched as the man spat on the AP700 model. Some onlookers turned and wrinkled their noses in disgust, more at the fact that the man had expectorated, rather than feeling pity for a machine, while others, laughed. To say it boiled your blood was an understatement. You felt the anger bubbling, the words fuelled by abhorring danced upon your lips, just waiting — begging to be released. Your lips parted, the overwhelming struggle of restraint almost too much to attain.

You held your ground and stayed silent.

The man, known as Edwin, moved away from the android, ordering him to get up from the floor and to ‘fucking stay there’. Like a dog, it complied. The man then turned to help, presumably his wife, clean up the spilled contents from the floor. Cans, tins, bottles and all sorts of miscellanea covered the walkway, its contents spewed and exposed to the public eye. The mess had decorated the asphalt near their parked car, meters away from where the android stood, providing enough cover for a few short seconds if you were quick.

Perfect.

Speed walking, you moved with the crowd once more, remaining within the fringes, until close enough. Once they sunk down to the floor to gather the knocked over contents, after bickering, you quickly bumped into the android, careful not to harm him as you connected with him. With your skin shifting back, you watched as the android, who had once been unsuspecting, widened his eyes. His LED, quickly flickered to a deep red and you beheld; horrified at the harassment the android had endured, in the small time frame of just a few days. Humans were starting to purchase models even after the crisis, how that was possible was beyond you, but you knew Cyberlife’s influence was far-reaching.

Money talks.

Well and genuinely perturbed, in the few seconds that had passed, you looked back toward the ‘owners’, thankful that they had not yet noticed your presence. Rushed, you hurriedly focused on the AP700 model again, and it was evident he was frightened — he had been confused; lost and now, he was free. Able to think for himself and able to refute the vile conditions imposed upon him.

“You know what you need to do.” You whispered; your hand continuing to grip his wrist.

Gaining nothing more than a troubled nod in response, you offered a reassuring smile and moved back into the crowd. You were sure you had been subtle, positive that both your hands had been shielded from watchful eyes;

You were safe, and for the moment, he was too. It was risky what you had just done, but in the name of equality, it was necessary.

One free android was one less enslaved;

It was a success in itself.

All you needed to do now was gradually convert the rest. Cyberlife seemed to have no problem in exploiting opportunities, even when their image was at question; and yet, consumers still continued to purchase. Sometimes you really wondered why humans had survived as long as they had.

Aimlessly following the crowd you made your way around the city, searching for any other androids. Whilst you did find a few, converting them rather swiftly, androids were nowhere near as widespread as they were previously. The thought churned your biocomponents, a feeling you had, at this point, become accustomed to.

You knew that it was a process; one that would take time, and effort. You weren’t going to fail your people. You weren’t going to fail Jericho. You weren’t going to fail Markus, Simon, Josh, North; or those who had given their life. You were going to fight, till the very, bitter, end.     

No matter what.

Somewhere in the swirl of your thoughts, you had managed to stumble across a store's window display. The TV’s in which were placed up against the pane, for public viewing, were playing the news, and from the subtitles, you were able to identify that the news anchor was Rosanna Cartland. Already predicting what the broadcast was going to talk about, you started to move away, until, something caught your eye, stopping you dead in your tracks. With widened eyes, you watched the summary; a basic debrief on the reports that were to come. Images and short clips danced across the screen, along with the familiar photo that had left you stunned. You didn’t need to rely on your systems analysis and your optical units to decrypt the poor quality photo. You knew exactly who that person was.

It was you.

Dumb, Random, Disneyland Day HCs

Amaya, Gren, and Corvus finally have a vacation and they all visit Amaya’s family. To spend quality time with her nephews, she takes them all to Disneyland. Sarai decides that she should take Soren and Claudia too so the adults can have their own break. Ezran insists on bringing his and Callum’s friend Rayla.

feel free to rb with ur own lmao

Gren drives with Corvus sitting shotgun. Amaya sits in the back to spend time with her nephews, but spends most of the time listening to Ezran. Callum texts Rayla, who’s sitting in the back with Soren and Claudia being a single braincell, so she won’t be lonely. The 4 end up talking to each other eventually because Soren and Claudia started a debate about something or whatever.

Corvus is not really close to Harrow’s kids and this is his first time meeting them, but he comes along bc he’s Amaya and Gren’s friend, tho he’d rather be at home chilling. They’ve made plans to bake with the kids tho! So he’s looking forward to that. Amaya was told only the kids can help, because reasons...

This is Rayla’s first time in Disneyland.

Soren makes 8592353 snaps during the trip, most of them are him and his sister, or zooming in on Claudia or Callum’s face.

Bait is somehow with them. And he’s still a glowing frog. No one questions it.

Gren is in charge of everyone’s tickets and Corvus carries snacks but Gren is the one that reminds everyone to stay hydrated while Amaya is the one that makes sure everyone is fed.

Amaya likes mickey ears and buys one for everyone. Callum is the only one who’s like “no thanks”, Soren and Claudia fight over the prettier ears, Ezran struggles, Rayla is just “i mean alright” (and also ends up wearing 2 bc Ezran’s keep falling off). Amaya, Gren, and Corvus already have one from a previous trip. Amaya has the one with the blue wizard hat, Gren’s is the red Minnie bow, and Corvus is the blue. They’re all from Amaya.

Gren and Corvus are not rly fans of rollercoasters. Corvus isn’t into theme parks bc they’re loud and crowded. Gren is fine with them but with 5 kids and Amaya it can be tiring. Amaya rarely sees her nephews so she wants to make the most out of the trip. They’re outside walking around and spending time with each other so she loves it. They’ll stay in the hotel afterwards anyway.

Soren, Claudia, and Ezran love taking pics with the mascots.

The princes and princesses go :eyes: when they see Amaya. THEY LIKE HOLDING ONTO HER BICEPS LMAO. Everyone’s pretty fond of Gren because he’s so... friend shaped. How can you not like him. Amaya’s just like “:^)” People admire Corvus from afar bc he seems cool and mysterious.

RAYLA FREAKS OUT WHEN THEY LINE UP FOR SPLASH MOUNTAIN. But alas she’s stuck with it. Soren and Claudia def try to do funny poses. Corvus knows where the camera is and just stares into it. Front to back: Soren/ Claudia, Ezran/ Rayla, Amaya/ Callum, Gren/ Corvus.

In Autopia, Soren and Claudia both want to drive so they get their own car and try to race each other. It’s Rayla’s first time so she drives the car and Callum rides with her. Ezran can finally drive the car so he drives and Amaya rides with him. Corvus drives Gren bc Gren is tried and already drives the car to/ from Disney.

jgdskghdsk do not ride with Amaya in the teacups. She doesn’t spin it at the beginning but she likes seeing the reaction on Corvus and Gren’s faces once she puts her hand down. She and Sarai used to compete on it to the point where Harrow and Viren will have to get their own teacup. Soren and Claudia spin tf out of it and make it a competition (they both throw up afterwards). Thankfully Ezran, Rayla, and Callum get their own.

Amaya goes hard on the games like the Toy Story shooting one. She always gets a high score. It’s scary and Gren always gets a low score rip. This time tho Amaya sits with Ezran who’s really into it. Callum is meh but Rayla is really into it. Everyone can hear Soren and Claudia yelling whenever it’s time to shoot (this is me LOL)

Amaya likes carnival/ fair games too. Corvus is p good too so they both get everyone something. Most of it is stuffed animals, but small ones so they’re easy to carry. Except Ezran’s. His toy gets passed around everyone as the day progresses. Claudia tries to get a cute stuffed bear, but fails so Soren wins one for her :’)

They only go to the submarine one because Ezran likes it and Rayla’s curious now. Christ I hate lining up for that ride it was not worth 2-3 hours.

They play a bunch of games to pass the time (idk what i only know a few rip) Sometimes the adults will join in, Corvus mostly does because Amaya and Gren talk and he’s not as fluent as Gren. I just want to see Corvus trying hard to win at the games but losing (esp to Rayla).

Everyone loves space mountain and that one’s worth waiting for. All the kids love screaming in it.

Soren and Claudia get a cheesy souvenir for their dad and it takes them forever to decide because they’re the type to play with everything they see in the store.

Callum overthinks about his gifts for his parents. He gets one for Ezran but it’s pretty easy, same with Rayla. The 3 spend most of their time deciding what to get their parents and watching Soren and Claudia from afar. Rayla straight up doesn’t know but she knows Runaan’s bf likes magnets/ collectibles.

Corvus is... somewhere. Gren and Amaya shop together like always (i hc they live together :V), buying everyone a gift. IDK what I don’t know what they have besides generic touristy stuff but my HC is that Harrow/ Sarai/ Viren/ Rayla live in Beverly Hills (but only Harrow and Viren have lived there since they were younger)

Ofc they watch the fireworks and Amaya puts Ezran on his shoulders.

Corvus goes straight to sleep he’s just rly tired rip.

Amaya and Gren check up on the kids and make sure they’re all ready to sleep.

Unknown to them, Soren, Claudia, and Ezran bought a bunch of snacks and they’re not ready to sleep. They make a pillow/ blanket fort.

Rayla just wants to sleep but Ezran’s puppy eyes...

Claudia tries to girl bond with her and gives her a goth makeover which Rayla doesn’t mind they’re both goth in the end tbh one’s just prep and the other is jock

Callum knocks out first so they draw on his face and make snaps of him rip. He doesn’t wake up at all.

Soren falls asleep eating gummy bears.
