#idk if the amount of lore stuff they have is comparable to other characters or not bc i dont keep up w the lore for anyone else gjdnnfndn

[xmoonlitxdreamx]

The only junkrat & roadhog lore stuff I'm aware of outside of voicelines are:

*a moment in crime (their 2015 introduction video)

*going legit (2016 comic)

*the plan (2017 animated short)

*wasted land (2018? comic)

*a friendly rivalry (2024 short story)

Does anyone know if there's anything other than this? I'm assuming the gap in lore stuff between 2018 and 2024 is from adding junker queen content, but I'm not as familiar w stuff relating to her... (I know junk & hog show up in jq-specific lore stuff occasionally but not substantially afaik)

Mostly asking bc as ive mentioned i kinda stopped paying attention to ovw around 2017-18ish before getting back into it in 2022, so. Just curious.

HIIIIII :>

Can I please request Ben, Puppeteer, Masky, Liu, and Ej with a s/o that has a HUUUGE hello kitty obsession?? Like room is COVERED in hello kitty plushies and all that fun stuff

Summary: Ben, Puppeteer, Masky/Tim, Liu and Eyeless Jack whose s/o is obsessed with Hello Kitty (headcanons)

Genre: Fluff!!

Warnings: None!

A/n: IM SO OBSESSED WITH SANRIO MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IS POMPOMPURIN I HAVE THIS GAME ON MY PHONE CALLED HELLO KITTY FRIENDS AND I KID YOU NOT IM SO OBBSESSED WITH THAT GAME THAT WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES TO TRY AND SLEEP I SEE THAT STUPID FUCKING GAME WAHHHHH

Credits: Ben Drowned- Creepypasta, The Puppeteer- Creepypasta, Tim Wright/Masky- Marble Hornets, Homicidal Liu- Creepypasta, Eyeless Jack- Creepypasta, Divider- benkeibear, Pictures- Pinterest

Ben Drowned

Honestly he can't say anything because he's obsessed with Hatsune Miku

He claims its Ironic, but it very obviously isn't

But his obsession with Miku (and vocaloid in general), is NOTHING compared to yours

He loves it though, because it gives you a cute dynamic

Every time he sees anything sanrio related, he thinks of you

It doesn't even have to be Hello Kitty specifically, just any sanrio product

And of course, he HAS to get it for you!

You've gotten sodas, plushies, snacks, earbuds, bags, even wipes

Because of Ben, you have almost anything in a Hello Kitty styled packaging

He likes to "trade" obsessions if that makes sense

For example, you wear a vocaloid shirt and he wears a Hello Kitty shirt

Complimenting each other's interests makes him so happy idk

And he DEFINETLY has some form of Hello Kitty merch himself

Whether it be something that you don't like any more, something you just don't have room for, etc, he has SOMETHING

And it makes him so giddy to know that a little bit of you will always be with him no matter what

Jeff makes fun of him for wearing your old Hello Kitty backpack, but he doesn't care because it smells like you, and it carries everything he needs so perfectly <3

He lobes his hello kitty partner

God forbid you break up, because ANYTHING Sanrio related will send him into a meltdown (fucking weirdo)

The Puppeteer

He's a very obsessive lover, so anything you like, he likes

When he sees your Hello Kitty obsession he immediately begins his research

He will learn all Sanrio characters, all characters closely related Hello Kitty, any lore in the universe, official merch, etc

He will fr pull up dripped tf out in hello kitty merch

The shoes, the pants, the shirt, maybe even a hat

You will giggle and kiss his chin, asking what he's doing

And he will shyly ask if you like it teehee

Your obsession is now OUR obsession

Well, with him it's less obsessed with Hello Kitty itself, more so him obsessed with whatever he thinks will make you like him more

You will literally be cuddling or just hanging out and he'll quote hello kitty to impress you

He's trying his best ok, just kiss him and tell him he's doing good

Masky

Your obsession kind of scares him

Not like, in a "omg this is so unhealthy :(" way, because he literally couldn't care less what you're into

He just gets scared of all the DOLLS

Oh my lord the amount of hello kitty dolls you have freaks him out

It's something about how all of them are the exact same thing, just over and over again

The sheer amount of them combined with the similarities between the dolls just weirds him out and gives him a chill up his spine

Good luck getting him to come into your room

He will refuse to unless you're like, sick or something

Other than that, he will not tolerate it

And this is a brave guy! He doesn't typically get scared of dolls, but idk man hello kitty just ain't it

Despite all this, he still loves getting you gifts with Hello Kitty

He knows how much you like it, and just because it freaks HIM out doesn't mean he's gonna not allow you to enjoy it

He won't actively participate in wearing merch like the other guys

He's definetly more of a "hold your plush bag while you go to the bathroom" type guy

Sorry pookies :(

Homicidal Liu

He doesn't get quite as into it as other's on this list might

He's more of a "Oh well I'm happy you've found something that makes you happy :)"

If you asked him to do something like match outfits he'd accept though!

He loves getting to do things like that with you, little stuff but it makes you both happy

He gives all your plushies different names and personalities

Maybe if you ask him nice enough he'll knit them little clothes and scarves...

He also loves to use the plushies to get what he wants

For example, if he wants to go out with you and you say something along the lines of "but im so tireeed" he'll grab a Kitty plush and begin "talking" to it

"Do you hear this? They say they're too tired to go get yummy food with me" He'll lift the toy up to his ear, nodding as if it's whispering something to him before going "I know! I was thinking we could go to their favorite restaurant too! Such a shame"

You'll scoff and roll your eyes playfully, while he brings the toy to your face making obnoxious kissing noises as if the toy is kissing you

Once your laughter fit dies down, he'll ask if you really just wanna stay home or go out

He will happily accept whatever response you give

Eyeless Jack

He is a lot like Liu when it comes to your obsession

More so just a "Oh good for you :)" type guy

He loves to just show up with random things

For example, he will knock on your door before opening it, and silently waving around a little trinket he thought you'd like

He loves seeing your face light up as you rush to come get the gift and kiss him over and over

It makes him feel extra giddy when he "earns" kisses

So expect a lot of gifts

And if you don't give him a kiss one time, he will pout until you do kiss him

grrr give that boy a smooch he loves them

[dappy-dappernette]

I feel like the reason why I latched onto Hetalia a lot more than other country personification series is that like- While a lot of them are good, their version of the countries kind of exist in this ambiguous void??? Like, yeah they exist and do stuff, but we mostly see them as JUST the country without anything else. They just, exist in a very non-diegetic way. (Which is fine of course, it fulfills its purpose.)

However with Hetalia we also see the Hetalia characters not being countries all the time, they have their own lives outside of just being their nation, they can be actual characters I feel??? We see them actually interact with the world around them, how the world of Hetalia is formed around them, etc- Even if its in small (and inconsistent) glimpses we do actually do get a fair amount of in world lore compared to other Country personification series.

And idk why but I feel like that's one of the reasons why I am more interested in Hetalia than other Country personification series....

And also cause, y'know, I'm a cringy weeb.

(OOC)

Hello, everyone, and welcome to this little shitshow of an askblog!!!! My name’s Coco, and I am the singular owner of this blog,, ofgh.. I’m not actually sure what to say here!!!

Uhhh,,, so these little freaks (the bsp and other sanses,,, totally) have been stuck in my head for YEARS, and I’ve built way too much of a story for them to not put it SOMEWHERE. this is somewhere, now. This isn’t a very serious thing at all, just some funnies, but I thought ‘hey, why not give it a shot’, so now we’re here!

This is an info post, so I’m gonna explain the rules of the ask box, some background, blah blah blah.

Here we go I guess🪑

—————————————————————————

RULES:

-Don’t be an ass! Idk if I have to say this, but rude/uncomfortable asks will not be answered, and if persistent, will result in a block

-No explicit NSFW!! Suggestive asks are absolutely fine, and I’d say that I consider ‘suggestive’ a lot more lenient than most,,, but like,, no porn. That’s for other places. (Like my ao3, once I actually post stuff)

-No angst! This (incredibly fanon) multiverse is primarily fluffy and sweet, and I don’t feel too comfy doing any sad/angsty stuff. No offense to people who love it, just not for me. Things that could be bittersweet are ok, as long as I can end the post happily:)

-If you want to be remembered anonymously, please mark yourself with some sort of emoji or sign off! (I don’t know askblog etiquette so this may be common sense but yk,,, just gonna say it)

-When asking about lore/world stuff, don’t ask me, ask Kesia! Kesia is a character that will show up here, and she is essentially the info person for lore and story. She isn’t exclusive for that though, so if you want to ask her other things, feel free! Sometimes she’ll appear in answers and art, just because she does that lol

-This isn’t just for the bad sanses, even if that is the main theme here. You can ask just about any well-known au character, and you might be surprised to find how they fit into the story!

-(mostly) Everything here is just headcanons! A lot of these characters have been changed HUGE amounts to fit my liking, and sometimes they go directly against something stated in canon! (ie. Bear (horror) not eating humans in canon, while he does so enthusiastically here)

-Last but not least, please don’t compare my Nightmare with that of Neahchanart’s, I’ve had issues with that before, and I don’t feel like addressing it. There are core differences between the two, and it just sucks to be compared to another artist, especially this specific one.

—————————————————————————

GH,, THAT SHOULD BE ALL! Now, I’m gonna go finish the references for this, and get it started!

Have fun!

-Coco

Slightly little bit more spoilers from TD2023 and more spoilers from the other following thing contained in it

Hey Hey guess who rewatched SU and got dreams from that but TD SU (I slightly got emotional damage from revisiting the lore but feel lazy to rewatch Future jeez)

Well TD SU AU coming right up Alright boys now that I think of it, basically from what I think for this one but except the fact the plot gets darker with it’s progress throughout it and along with some subplots with it (atleast I think less amount of subplots) (I really would wonder who would be Lapis, Peridot, Bismuth, Jasper and the others since I’m getting confused into some complicated plot points tho but you can decide!) No seriously like literally I had this one dream and it was TD2023 but it’s the movie but except it’s entirely different from the movie (I am sure having wild imagination fever dreams these days more like hyperfixation) Well here is what I think (TD2023 cast but according from what I’m thinking also, basically og cast gens 1 to 3 and I guess RR gen too) 🩰 | Julia (???) - Pearl (I have no idea how the hell this would work out but this is a AU after all, I mean I significantly feel like Priya and Pearl have similar vibes but nothing much I guess) 🍬 | Nichelle - Garnet (I feel like this is really accurate but from what I think generally it doesn’t really match in perspective but when it comes to stuff, this is fine but this is really would be cool from what I’m thinking tho) 🎭 | MK - Amethyst (like as said from Shark / you, but from what I think this is a cool match like very accurate to say) ⭐️ | Daimen - Steven (Okay okay I don’t think a short person like him being started as their mother reincarnates into them having literal trauma throughout slightly late / the near end of the series then get slightly tall, as I said again this a AU we could do anything we want as long it goes well with the element with it or anything idk I mean I guess this is fine too but gonna say I have no damn idea who the hell is Rose Quartz like ???) 📚 | Priya - Connie (I think this is good in my perspective like she also has those vibes I think of she might not be but I think it’s good as I think it should be but I think it would go well in my opinion) extra: 🥀/🌷Scary Girl / Lauren - Spinel (calling it, true, for real, going crazy, this is super accurate in my perspective literally it is LIKE same vibes would go with it really well) AND that is what I could think of so far andddd also here take this AU gift while I go on a acid trip from thinking this as a dream Also feel free to think about characters in your own perspective and your own opinions! :D

I may or may not have gone through a season 5 + Movie binge to answer this ask 😅 I’m gonna look at this as a general SU au instead of just a SU movie au I hope that’s alright!

—

🩰 | I also don’t really know how Julia as Pearl would work, I suppose they have similar physique and color palette, but their personalities are very different, I think if we were to try and compare Pearl and Amethysts dynamic with Julia and MK’s dynamic we could start getting somewhere... but in my binge this came to my head, hear me out: Julia as Peridot. They give me similar vibes, specially post ep 5 Julia to Peridot, like just imagine Julia calling people buttknuckles like Peridot calls people clods!

🍬 | Garnet is a difficult one, because not only is she her own character but she’s also the combination of two separate characters. Nichelle as Garnet is a cool idea I agree, like if Nichelle was a girlboss instead of a girlloser lmao. But there’s also a different way we could go about this; Make one character Ruby, one character Sapphire, and make a literal fusion of both be Garnet, I think that’d be really cool and If so I propose either Raj (Ruby) and Bowie (Sapphire) or Axel (Ruby) and Nichelle (Sapphire)

🎭 | Glad to know you agree with MK as Amethyst! 👍

⭐️ | Damien as Steven is a very interesting choice! It very much made me realize Damien does have that main character energy to him and I think I can definitely see it, specially with Priya as Connie! (I also don’t know who Rose Quartz would be but like we can figure this out eventually I believe in us)

📚 | Both Priya as Connie or Pearl are such 1000 IQ ideas because they both fit so much, She fits Connie as a socially outcast girl that values her one friendship so much and has a natural knack for battles, and she fits pearl as a strictly trained, battle trained person who does everything she does not for herself, but for someone else.

🥀/🌷 | REAL x2 Scary Girl as Spinel so true!!!

——

Some extra thoughts/ideas!!!

So I remembered about the “do it for her” song I and imagined the possibility of Millie as Connie and Priya as Pearl, seeing as Priya trained Millie in the show like Pearl trained Connie. But something I think would be interesting though too is Millie as Pearl, idk why but like it makes sense in my head.

Idk why but I Can very clearly imagine Julia as Peridot, Nichelle as Lapis, and Axel as Bismuth, opinions?

I also think there’s high potential for Emma to be part of this AU somewhere, I just can’t immediately tell what character she’d be. Emma as Sadie could be neat! Which I guess would make Chase Lars? But like I want her to have a bigger role in this au though because she deserves it.

[autisticempathydaemon]

My little submission for the match ups!

I just wanna see who you'll pair me up with!

song I'm hyper fixated in rn is your on your own kid by Taylor Swift the lines "I gave my blood sweat and tears for this" idk I guess it's just cool and I'm academically tired and relate to it

my ennagram type is 5w9 ISTP

video essays are absolutely awesome probably my fav vids! my favorite ones would be like the timeline of a story based/lore based game or some arg stuff

I never really had a childhood friend so I wouldn't know but the closest I had for a childhood friend is a toy I have that I pretend came alive- basically it's a white cat stuffed animal with blue eyes and a pink ribbon

my go-to way of falling asleep I guess is just the good ol' lay down and close my eyes tactic

favorite of redacted would be Geordi's throwback audio and Vincent's throwback with stranger too also Damien's non canon romances audio

Ollie and Aaron I guess I just don't get the appeal of office people

tangled, I watched it so much I practically memorized it

Asher! he's so cool and chill totally would be friends with him and his shenanigans

my favorite playlist would be my Taylor swift playlist- idk other songs just got boring and I just remembered the extensive amount of songe genre Taylor dabbles in and how I love all of it

guilty pleasure media... bf audios no comment

some random stuff Abt me would be:

I love blue! alot, it's just my fav color ig, I kin alot of the "tough on the outside, soft on the inside characters" ex. darlin', Shenhe. And that's it! excited to see who you pair me up with!

Hmmmm~ I think you and your match have a lot in common but just enough not in common to keep things interesting, to keep you from clashing. You and Damien would have a very interesting but very functional relationship.

I think you and Damien share the same Enneagram and MBTI, both characterized by an independent intelligence, capable and ambitious and curious. (This is supported by you being academically tired.) I think putting two people like that together can be really beneficial in keeping one another in check, in making sure the other doesn’t burn out, you know? There’d be a lot of checking one another’s work, late nights getting junk food and study fuel, helping each other keep an eye on deadlines, and making sure some essential self-care is done no matter what,

With that in mind, I think y’all would be so cute and so… him. Like, I don’t think he loves Taylor Swift, but I think he went about getting you Eras tickets like a man on a mission. He had the whole DAMN crew on ticketmaster and on the phone, coordinating, and drove you there and picked you up so you wouldn’t get gouged by uber surge prices. He buys little blue trinkets when he’s out shopping to let you know he’s thinking about you, because he’d be a penguin-pebbling kind of guy. A relationship with Damien is full of functional, practical but undeniable shows of his love.

Song:

And I've always lived like this/ Keeping a comfortable, distance/ And up until now/ I had sworn to myself that I'm content/ With loneliness/ Because none of it was ever worth the risk/ But, you are, the only exception

Delightful, I’ve been waiting for the right match-up to use this song! Damien is such a loving, darling, tsundere motherfucker, and though I focused on what your established relationship together would look like, it’s also so fun to think about the whole falling in love process. I could see a great friends to lovers, maybe even rivals to lovers dynamic, that has the two of you slowly getting closer and wearing down those tsundere walls of his until you become his only exception.

Runner-ups:

Guy would be a cute match for you because one, he strikes me as the biggest Swiftie of the redacted bois and two, I think he’d be a good contrast to you where Damien compares, you know? James, I like for a lot of the same reasons as Damien, but I liked Damien more since you’re both students.

note: thank you so much for waiting 💙

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

[daydreaming-memories]

omg??? we're doing an updated paracosm pinned post???

EDIT: For asks please keep the questions in one singular ask keep it at max 3 questions. this is for our own sanity

This blog is ran by a system and we call ourselves the neon sysd.

You're mainly going to see me Nyx [he/they/fae]

But others from the system may pop up like Ribs [He/rots] or Blaze [He/Him]

We have madd/maladaptive daydreaming disorder n plenty of other but onto real info

Our main paracosm is "Daycosm 3"

It's a blanket paracosm [paracosm that has other paracosms inside of it] with a bunch of older paracosms as subcosms [smaller paracosms inside a blanket paracosm] that is a mutual paracosm [means we share it, but we could use monocosmic as well lmao] of the system

[NEW CONTENT (JAN 12 2024)

Into the Flip pit / Flipside-Ball pit-

A fnaf X dsaf X faith the unholy trinity crossover paracosm, this is mainly daydreamed by [alter]Blaze & [alter]Ribs

Scorned Reverance Ava AU/ScornRance AVA-

An Animation vs animator paracosm which is mainly daydreamed by [Alter]Drake, there are a good amount of changes compared to canon & some popular fanon hcs are heavily ignored keep this in mind

]

Major note: We may interchangiably use para, oc n character but do know we know the difference, it's just that even though we've been here a while the lines are still thin in our mind about our own paras

Our paras are mainly:

Primpara [original para, no source, generally an oc]

Fantapara [paras inspired by canon character or reimagined in a way that barely resembles canon]

Veritbonds [A very special type of para, hard to explain but close n alive]

Paraselves [for me nyx and various alters we insert ourselves]

Please be courtous & respect our boundaries

[Also please do not call our paras hot/cute or like romantic things unless we're close n we've told you elsewise makes the system uncomfortable as we're on the aroace spectrum who has been previously abused]

Also do keep in mind plenty of us are paratives [originally a para, now apart of the system] so don't be too weird

Alright now on to some info about daycosm 3 shall I?

HUGE themes of cycles, repeating patterns along with recovery from trauma/abuse.

THe paracosm is very much somehow a fantasy crossed over with scifi..?? idk i'm silly and getting tored

We have a ton of things we have on the back burner of stuff to get out for the paracosm here are some:

A paracosm wiki on notion

General paracosm guide

Magic, Tech and Science lore

Places & locations

Species/race guides [Object bio infodump \ Simple tdlr]

fauna n flora along with some dishes stuff

inuniverse books, social media and media in general

Important items

religions n cultures

holidays n events

Deities, curses and blessings

Layerverse n the concept of aus n the multiverse

groups, organizations and brands

History of paracosm

Many tournaments [like whose the most sexyman, and others but wanna mention an end of year award show]

Multiple fics [main ones on mind are pokemon crossover, minecosm v20, and some others]

old poll paracosm dumps [like 16 at least wheeze]

hey it's the end just wanted to add one last note before I post & pin this.

The paracosm has plenty of sources and inspirations that I actively distain & are as actively critical of (as I can be) due to parts of said media or things the creator(s) has done.

Always trying to be better, but just wanna dream a bit longer

it's the closet I'll have to a home anywa

[finsterhund]

Reading this and finding this context makes me sad. For the record I didn't find out about Skinamarink personally until late November but I did evidently end up torrenting it. I desperately wanted to see it but it was only in film festivals. I try to make the effort not to pirate indie productions as this is pretty much the only situation where piracy does very much hurt creators but I absolutely still want to officially support it when I have a way to.

Skinamarink is something special to me and while I've gone on record to say I don't think it "works" as a movie and I had multiple issues with it, I've become extremely captivated by it all the same and I think it's safe to say it's a special interest now. I think Kyle is talented and I take pride in a fellow gay Canadian creative putting his work out there and feel a great sense of comradery in how this movie taps into the way my childhood neglect often felt. I think watching this movie may have also allowed a previously closed off or repressed part of my memories to become accessible too.

All the theater showings were way too far away for my disabled ass to ever hope of attending when it did get brought to theaters but I pretty much signed up for Shudder briefly solely to support Skinamarink lmfaooo

I wish there was a way to directly send support Kyle's way though. I really want to physically own a copy and also want merch. I saw at certain showings there were stuff like little pin buttons and I think Kyle should set up an Etsy or something. I could just buy/make fan merch but if it's just gonna be a button of a photo of the chatter phone with the movie's title above or something I'd like to get that from him. I only buy fan merch when it's created and handmade.

I guess now "everything turned out okay" and the movie made a comparatively massive amount of money upon theatrical release but I still feel bad.

Skinamarink is very divisive and pretty much my entire main friend group didn't like and roasted the hell out of it (I poke fun too because I meme the crap out of the things I hyperfocus on) but it's still something special to me. In a similar way that the English dub of the Tiny puppy tired and weak movie is. Weirdly my attachment and softness towards Tiny is of childhood nostalgia and Skinamarink is like, something I didn't grow up with but it's *how* I grew up and there's nostalgia I guess. One of the first things I said about it after I had first finished watching that it's basically if they made a machine that supposedly records videos of memories but spit this out instead, and that it's the memories from an alternate universe of me that isn't sentient, and that I was afraid it would be what I would experience after I died. It really accurately to me showed the way my nyctophobia works which I don't see all too often in video format.

In the end what it mainly did was inspire me. I want to remake a version for myself. Saccharine and masturbatory or whatever the phrase is. More character depth in Kevin and more information in regards to the entity mainly. I'm so entranced by the little scraps of lore we got that I really want more detail into the world that was made. Managing to feel inspired after the diagnosis and then losing Cazza to cancer has been increasingly more and more difficult so I'm really grateful to Kyle Ball for making something that caused me to think creatively again.

But yeah. Kyle idk if you're ever gonna read this but thank you for making it. I've had a lot of fun since discovering the movie and want to see more things in the future. Sorry me and a bunch of other people are negative at times but Skinamarink does still mean a lot to me and I'm interested in what you do next.

[real-camera]

so i dont actually have a lot of stories about getting injured, and that number is wayy lessened due to my kinda bad memory so if it’s fine, im just gonna infodump a bit abt the summary of the brain-multiverse in my mind bc thats the only thing i can remember mostly clearly with a timeline (<- has been building the world since before covid)

uhh so like we start with characters made from songs or stories, ocs to do cool stuff, and at some point i realized that there’s too many universes so i do a purge of them with a ceremony, the multiverses (at that time, only one multiverse) are destroyed, yet still remain as fragments for the characters

i make an oc that i plan to use more frequently than the others, and the other previously main characters are still main characters, im just not making them the spotlight character, or the character that i focus on/imagine from their perspective-ish, as of that time. All the previously made characters (like a hundred kinda developed ones bc they tend to stick to a genre of music or story) are now in the same universe, but none of them have the memory of the previous multiverse. due to my character’s (call them M for now) backstory and role in the world (which would take too long to actually explain) theyre one of the few who are actually aware of the multiverse, with the multiverse being canon in their memories due to the multiverse being part of the ‘host’ M. they are able to travel multiverses, but can only interfere with select labeled multiverses (interactables?)

there’s chaos events (limited to the universe, caused by C) world events (limited to the universe, caused by world/NOT outside interference, and universe events (limited to universes of that type, cause is kinda funky depending on the event)

so im not too sure about all of that, they may change, they may get more added on, doesnt matter because for every thing that is, there is one where it isnt and many inbetween

so now that we got the Origin multiverse, or the High Magic multiverse, due to many people there and the world being very powered, and kinda op compared to the other worlds, its part of the Named side, in which basically all the characters are named.

Then we move onto the semi-Named side, originally based in a Danganronpa world so Ultimates and stuff exist before eventually adding magic. theres also an M there, however very few other characters there are also named compared to the High Magic multiverse. the M there is different from the M in the High Magic in what they are, their origins, and a lot of stuff, however they are also aware of the multiverses due to how their character originated and branched from the other M

while some characters are exclusive to their multiverses, some characters are in both, so in the crossover universes (in which the higher magic universe crosses to the lower one, as they have magic to spare so they can bridge the gap) there may be more than one character with the same name and appearance

there’s also those two people, not M, who have their own lore i wont be saying but who are related in some way (cousins or brothers or idk) who literally moved from High Magic to Middle Magic, so the Ms check up on them from time to time.

then there’s the Low Magic multiverse where magic is rarer. (High Magic has magic, basically everyone is magic in some way, and there’s a lot. Middle Magic has magic, most people have magic, there’s not really a lot but also not little. Low Magic has magic, it’s rare to have magic, and the amounts of magic there is kinda lower than average.)

this one is odd bc i spent the least time here so each plotline/universe varies from each other in many ways

i have to be kinda vague bc each M has a different plotline and if it was different enough for me to know it, it’s different enough from other Ms. also important note: magic isn’t exactly magic, im just saying it because that’s the easiest explanation

now i think that’s basically the gist of it? theres been a recent development in which i switched spotlight characters in the High Magic (i often use High or Middle Magic) and im starting to develop another character a bit more now, also adding more characters as well lol, but besides that, yeah that’s the summary :3

uhhh idk if this summary infodump was fine but oh well, i dont have injuries that i remember that seemed important

uhhhhhhh

@hero-dualies-3 ?? idk i dont talk to my other mutuals i talk/interact the most with like two mutuals and one of them tagged me

open if anyone not tagged wants to join ig

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore

[carlyraejepsans]

Why do you think the Sans Darkener theory is ridiculous? From the blood, to the teleportation/other weird powers, to his almost otherworldly meta-awareness, the toilet references, and his bedroom door, the "never see em again"/"dont forget". He's clearly not just a regular monster.

And Ralsei is a darkner who's weirdly based off Asriel and who seems to be special when compared to other darkners. And it's not yotally clear what his overworld counterpart would be (a toy or a real goat idk.) Sans Darkner theory honestly doesn't feel like a huge stretch to me.

good job on bringing up ralsei's case, because that's exactly my point against the theory!

ralsei is different from other darkners. he calls himself the prince of the dark, THEIR prince. he's apparently the only darkner who can seamlessly exist in dark worlds that aren't his own AND MAYBE. just maybe!! exist in the light world for short amounts time. and no, I really don't believe he's based on a real goat, buddy. i think at best he's based on kris' fake horns to represent their feelings of inadequacy over being human. and those horns helping them feel like they fit in more.

the dark fountain that created him, the one in castletown? literally the strongest in the game. at the beginning of chapter 2 he mentions "sensing" a new fountain being opened, so he rushed on site to help out. remember that he said that he was alone, so if sans WERE a darkner of ralsei's caliber, he'd have to be from ANOTHER dark fountain just as powerful as his own (and what would the purpose of that fountain be, why should it be different from the others), he'd have to be based on an object (which he's clearly not) and ralsei would know about him. so why hasn't he given even a single HINT that there's someone like that out in the light world? especially since it'd have to be a very recent event, sans has just recently moved into hometown, after all!

sure you could technically cover all this up with "oh but what if ralsei is lying" which is fair, i ALSO think he's lying about a fuck ton of stuff. so let's look at this from a narrative angle: making sans deltarune a special darkner who "ascended" to the light world but is also doing fuck all, has no relevancy to the plot so far whatsoever and who has given no indication of being aware of your actions, having time space powers OR being anywhere as meta aware as he is in ut (one joke about game release times aside, and even susie makes one of those), would give him a level of relevancy/importance comparable to one of the main characters. and I really doubt that's the case.

it's one of the few reasons that make me question how i approach the otherworld theory too. do you really think that at some point, or the ending specifically, if all dark fountains other than one (ie castle town) have to be closed, that deltarune's story will revolve around........ sans. lmao no. come on. whatever happens will have to be collateral at best, and likely hidden, just like his backstory lore in undertale.

all things considered, I don't think darkner!sans is a theory people pulled entirely out of their ass. it's clearly based on things and details that are meant to make you think and put them together. i just think this particular theory put them all together backwards.

in deltarune sans isn't a darkner in the lightworld. he's the exact opposite. in undertale

Do you think my little pony every generation is cute? because I love all of them because they are so cute and pretty yes including g3.5 newborn cuties because baby ponies are cute

oh my glitter yes!!💖 anon you get me!!! 😆🥺💖 my brain is just like; criteria for me loving a show:

cute ponies (or other characters) ✅

makes me laugh ✅

pretty colours/designs/backgrounds ✅

songs and or pretty background music or sounds ✅

nothing that makes me feel uncomfortable (like heavy amounts of gross out humor for example, ew) ✅

good voice acting ✅

and there you have it! g5 is soooo cute! it checks all the boxes for me, my only "issue" with it is that I think it's scary how it takes place in the future of g4 other than that awesome! just watching cute ponies hanging out and goofing around and being friends is my favourite thing ever!!

g1: love it!!! first encounter with pastel horses! got a dvd box with the series for christmas one year and I still love them so much!!

g3: love it!! got an advent calendar with some super cute stuff and mini scootaloo, rainbow dash and pinkie pie one year but hadn't watched any of it until last year (NEED to watch more it's just so adorable!! also hope I can watch some of it in swedish one day! that'd be so fun!)

g4: you already know how much I adore twilight & co. that's pretty hard to miss

equestria girls: yes yes yes should've gone on for longer tbh

g4.5: pony life my beloved I will never understand what people have against you lol

g5: cuuuuute! can't wait for the next episodes whenever that is, I think there's going to be a holiday special and I'm so excited!!

the only generations I haven't watched are g2 (or is it g1.5 people call it I never remember) and g3.5 but I have nothing against them! (and I'll also probably watch g3.5 at some point 'cause it seems like I'd love it too!)

I often feel like I'm dumb because I just idk I think simpler(??) than other people, like I guess I'm not as critical but (and even though I'm going to continue thinking this about myself I will now proceed to tell everyone else:) there's nothing wrong with just liking something (*sped up tv commercial voice* as long as you liking that thing isn't hurting you or others in some way) just because you think it's cute, fun or whatever, you don't need to write a 50 page essay on pros and cons and compare it with a bunch of stuff y'know, does anyone know what I'm saying!? 😂 there is no this is bad and this is good stamp on things because everyone enjoys different aspects of different things and have different preferences. I dislike marvel movies and think equestria girls is one of the best things ever, does that make stupid? no! does it make me smarter than people who think the opposite? no! it's simply makes me a person with preferences, different people seek out different things in different media because different things have different meanings to different people, and that's okay! some people love to pick apart and analyze every aspect of a show and look for deeper meanings and lore and while I too can appreciate things like that sometimes my main reason for liking something is does it make me feel happy and do I enjoy looking at it and listening to it? and both of those ways of enjoying something is valid! 🧡

I'm sorry this is long but like you start a conversation or ask me a question about something I like and I never stop talking! 🤣💖 thank you anon for sending me this question, I love talking about ponies of any generation (oooor equestria girls) so feel free to come by and say hi some other time too if you want! 😂💖🦄💖🦄💖

what would you say is the best dark souls game to start on? im a complete beginner and i really like learning about lore so i kind of want to start on 1 but idk. thoughts?

1 has some important lore stuff going on but holy FUCK has the gameplay aged like milk:

the roll feels like dogshit compared to 3 - it has WAY more recovery frames + awkward acceleration, and i hope you like your equip load effectively being quartered because midroll starts at 25% and is equivalent to ds3 fatroll. also almost every class starts above this threshold so you will be running around naked and looking like beef jerky for the entire early game. this is by FAR the biggest issue. people are going to respond to this saying the ds3 roll is OP and spammable, which is true. however, 1. both of those things are good and 2. it doesn't feel like you're throwing your character headfirst into a brick wall and patiently waiting for them to recover from the resultant concussion every time you press B

the lighting is reminiscent of Hollister circa 2013

not having fast travel enabled until HALFWAY THROUGH THE GAME is objectively bad game design (as evidenced by it being fixed in ds2 and 3)

severe lack of build diversity - every melee build is the same (i.e. STR-based because DEX sucks)

people will tell you magic/pyromancy is busted, which is technically true, but only if you know exactly where to go for the right spells in the early game. doing a blind pyromancy playthrough is pain incarnate

the amount of bullshit esoteric knowledge you need to have on hand to have even a little bit of fun is absurd, and not having this knowledge is punished severely. did you start with any gift besides the Master Key? wrong, you've fucked up and made the game 20x harder for no reason. did you pick up the zweihander 2 feet away from the starting area, read the 24 STR requirement, and start powerleveling strength so you can weild it? wrong, dumbass, you actually only need 16 STR to 2hand it, because 2handing multiplies your STR by 1.5, which is not described literally anywhere in-game and the UI will still tell you you're not strong enough and show the X over the sprite as you equip it. did you arrive in Lordran, see 10 estus flasks in your inventory, and assume that's the amount you have to work with? wrong, that only applies to the starting bonfire, every other bonfire starts off refilling you up to 5 and you need to kindle them to get more refilled, which requires beating a specific boss behind arguably one of the worst areas in the game. you fucking idiot. go fuck yourself.

speaking of bonfires,

anyone telling you to start the series on ds1 is not your friend and does not have your best interests at heart.

ds2 gets a lot of flak for being the black sheep of the series - it had a different creative director and very different overall vibe when compared to both 1 and 3. it was also extremely rushed and a lot of planned content never panned out (check out Zullie the Witch's youtube channel for more info). despite this, it actually plays like a game designed after the Cretaceous period, which is more than can be said for 1 and the graphics + lighting will not make you want to gouge your eyes out. a strong second place

really you should be starting on ds3, not just because it's the closest to Elden Ring, but because it has the best boss fights and combat mechanics by FAR. also there's actual build diversity. you can wear up to 4 rings, and unlike in ds1 where the devs made half the weapons in the game unusable as a funny joke, you can make pretty much anything work in PvE. also as previously mentioned the roll feels and acts fluid, which is good because you will spend approximately half of your time rolling.

tl;dr: start on 3, then 2, then 1. also watch VaatiVidya lore videos if you're confused about why you're fighting a specific boss from a narrative perspective

Oooh, prepare for a RANT

Disclaimer: I don’t know a lot about Asian cultures, but I speculate a lot with my poor knowledge of myths and history. I’m sure I’ve got a lot of stuff wrong. If you caught me speaking bullshit, correct me please

The amount of time I’ve spent googling his possible skin tone… He looks white or fair-skinned in most of depiction I saw, but he also is from somewhere near India or from it (I haven’t read the point where he appears in JTTW). And he’s supposed to be the Child of the Good Wealth - the guy who is interpretation of Sudhana, so let’s see what his deal is

That’s Ganddanvyuha Sutra, the script is the reason Sudhana is such an important guy in literature

And that’s him

And that’s him compared to various sages he meets along the way

The photos differ in quality and lighting, and there’s characters with inhuman skin colours, and still we can see that the illustrator decided to not make him fair-skinned compared to those who are supposed to. If I knew something abt Indian culture, maybe I’d know why for sure, but I speculate he doesn’t have a luxury of keeping himself from sun at least because of his pilgrimage. The second speculation is that he is supposed to be more similar to an everyman - there a possibility he is from Kshatriyas (military, rulers and landowners) Varna rather than a Brahman (intellectual leaders) based on his red clothes and him being a minister’s son in The Precious Scroll of Shancai and Longnü (said minister disapproved Shancai’s abandoning of civil or military pursuits for seeking of religious enlightenment).

In another myth, in Chapter 18 of the Complete Tale of Guanyin and the Southern Seas, he became crippled no more and his face turned handsome after some Guanyin style events. Did his skin became fairer? Icky but idk

And finally in Journey To The West his species are changed and he is a demon prince. He is South Asian non-human that has a luxury of keeping himself under shades, but also a temperamental human-hunter. With previous history of evolution of his myth I’d assume he’s wasn’t supposed to look white, even if there are base for making him look white. Usually I’d prefer not giving him fair skin, he and Nezha are often confused with each other for their similarities, and in the book Nezha is told to look pretty prince-y (idk where to stuff it - my hc is that Nezha’s skin has a shade of a lotus root and apparently it can be blindingly white), so it’s fun to imagine Red Son with darker skin and with another, another type of prince-y that can disrupt gods

EDIT: Asian regions were confused

EDIT: in JTTW ch41 Russian translation by Gordeev Red Son is described to be like in flour and have indigo hair. Also he lives in the east region of India

EDIT: Red Boy has a buddhist lore besides JTTW unrelated to Sudhana as a the youngest and favourite child of a rakshasi whose name I don’t remember, but @/journeytothewestresearch has an article about it

TLTR: 20% chance of him being white/fair-skinned for me personally, 80% no

ok i need to prove something to someone

You can’t really compare DSMP to a book or a movie, it’s like comparing apples to oranges. DSMP is a roleplay more than a clearly written story. Yeah they plan out stuff before hand, but they’re basically playing a game of D&D without a DM. A coherent plot that makes total sense isn’t going to happen. Even from the start of it, oh, C!Wilbur randomly decides to build a drug van so he can control the server, and then that turns into a nation?? Very clear and coherent but plot with good motives that make for a thrilling story right there. It was a breaking bad and Hamilton roleplay. People watch DSMP because it’s fun more than plot consistency.

Like Dream plays the villain because he didn’t want to stream and take away from other peoples success. Tommy plays The Protagonists because he was the one who streamed the most and decided to take up that role. But both of those characters are morally incorrect. C!Tommy regularly blows up, steals, and otherwise messes with peoples stuff. He also torments people. C!Dream is worse, with the active abuse and manipulation on top of destruction, but neither character is a Good Guy.

I personally think it’s fine how Eryn did his character. He comes in as c!Tommy’s childhood friend, a rowdy kinda dumb teenager, no one tells him what happened, so immediately goes to ‘prank c!Tommy’ and be a ‘dream sympathizer’. Then C!Eryn gives him a not so clear telling of the lore with a few falsehoods/personal bias thrown in. And he’s like ‘hey, maybe c!Dream is actually bad’. Because he was given context.

And MichaelMcChill was also told nothing, except that the people who ‘locked up the Tyrant’ were being rather tyrannical about it. He took a neutral stance more than a pro-Dream one (if you ignore the first stream where he was gooding off more than rping his character). But after being told more what happened he decided ‘prison bad, but c!Dream is also not to be trusted’.

Like say you joined the DSMP right now. Your character was not part of any of the past lore, so your character can’t possibly know about it. You are an outsider. No one knows or trusts you. You go up to a cagey guy who’s probably been betrayed and traumatized and ask “what happened here?” Is it realistic for them to infodump the whole history of the server to you? On the spot?

firstly I don't expect the lore to be movie or book quality at all. my point is it's obvious they can try harder and make it flow together better, but some of them just don't.

I understand none of the characters are strictly good or strictly bad, wilbur even said so himself that they are all morally grey.

with eryns lore, I really don't understand the motives behind the prank thing. he witnessed c tommy having a meltdown even at the mention of dream and still thought it would be funny? I get it his character is meant to be a dumb kid that loves playing pranks and whatever but I just think that was a strange direction to take his character, maybe that's a personal bias though.

with michaels case I actually really like what he's done so far with his character. the conspiracy theorist thing is interesting, trying to figure out stuff for himself. he sees people freaking out about c dream getting out of prison, so he's gonna think oh maybe he really is this bad guy they make him out to be.

and that's the kind of thing I'm okay with and think is relatively interesting. I'm all for the ccs taking their characters whichever direction they want, but it's a little weird to make characters with no motivation to be on the side of the clearly stated main villian on the server.

and with your last point, I understand where you are coming from. but usually the characters ask one person and go. or they don't trust that he's a bad guy even though MASS AMOUNTS of people are freaking the fuck out at the idea of him getting out of prison. would you not infer you should be afraid since they are too? Idk maybe that's just me.

overall, I understand ur points and I really do respect the story as a whole. if I didn't like it at all, I wouldn't be talking about it so much LOL. I just have my story writing gripes with it. thank u for the input!! love talking about this stuff :)

Monster High Live Action THOTS

welcome to thots :)

im ur host leonidas thotticus and today we are talking Monster High: The Movie (2022) with some spoilers ! it is all OPINION and only on the viewing of the movie versus my own MH opinions. Mostly on character portrayal and designs! and i had fun writing this lol

tbhh honestly i am not a good critic because a movie that entertains me is a good movie.

I think the best viewing experience is thinking of it as separate from the original because they aren't the same, and comparing them is kind of pointless, and i'll try to not do that but it is hard.

I'm only giving opinions here cause I haven't done any research besides like scrolling the tag on tumblr lol.

My fave was Frankie, obviously. Nonbinary, neurodivergent representation!! I felt very seen, and represented!! I wish i was that cool in high school! They're full of knowledge, don't really know social rules (and even comment on the fact that there seems to be this rule book that everyone but them has read) and man MOOD. I love their outfits, they are the right amount of ugly that i personally love to sport and yeah <3 big love for Frankie.

Draculaura made me kinda :/ initially because she's kinda a bitch at the beginning. but! she isnt meant to be G1 Draculaura! I wish she was kinder but she comes around. I really related to having parents that have insane expectations of you (the whole 'a 92% is failing' thing was like. wow mood.) and not wanting to let them down so you aren't your full self around them? heart breaking. love u draculaura. also loved that Dracula was a little pink lol.

Clawdeen was alright. Her actress was very um.... Disney in the 2000s acting wise. But like it wasn't bad! I think the half human half werewolf thing has the potential to be cool but they were really fast to be like 'hey we actually are cool with humans!' and outed Clawdeen which is weird like? i feel like the other students weren't just gonna be accepting immediately. Like, idk way to put a target on her. Her outfits were definitely not the most fashionable but i did like some of them! Also the ears were really cool :3 she also has a pretty singing voice ngl she killed it

Cleo was boring. i miss her being a mean girl who also supported her ghouls and loved them. like. she only comes around cause Clawdeen saved her? also dont understand Deuce's reasons for leaving her? were they bullies together and he didn't want to be anymore? i think that's what i got from that? wack.

Ghoulia also wasn't given very much screentime, and they took away the whole zombie genius thing!! which sucks cause i really liked that she was so smart even though people couldn't understand her all the time. But!! Cleo and the ghouls could and always trusted her!! she was such a side character in this movie. I get that maybe they didnt have the budget for the other characters to have bigger storylines or whatever and thats cool. I hope they do more with everyone in the animated show, cause it seems like it follows the same lore as the movie thus far.

Deuce actually still very swaggy even though he looks like Jughead. I miss his sunglasses cause how tf do normal glasses protect people !?!?! maybe they explained it and i missed it

Heath :( my poor flamey boy. :( the cgi was so bad. and he barely did anything. but again, not enough budget and time whatever. pls more heath in the show <3

I loved Bloodgood but her jacket was like. so cheap looking. the lining stuff on the collar was so weird? like they didn't completely cover it? and the buttons were weird? idk it didnt vibe with me.

Mr. Komos did look like Jackson and then wound up being Hyde's son which is cool! fun twist! easy to see coming but still interesting i think. His full monster design was kinda funny though. like not super scary. the power to take other monster's powers?? pretty sick ngl.

Some of the outfits were boring, some of them were alright and fun even! Frankie's were my favorite obvs. I think they gave Draculaura a darker aesthetic which is cool and witchy but i also hope they bring back some of the more like dainty victorian looks to kinda idk? balance it? clash a little in a good way? they were more modern designs for sure and i get that, and that it wasn't ever going to be as alternative and gothic as the original and thats okay! i think they could've done more but hey. budget i guess.

OVERALL

it was as cheesy and goofy and plot-hole ridden as any other MH movie I've seen. Was it a Cinematic Masterpiece? No. Was it pretty okay? yeah! fun, silly, definitely a kids movie I would've enjoyed as a kid. I'd say if you're gonna watch it- pirate it! and maybe don't go in thinking you're gonna hate it cause then i mean, yeah you're gonna hate it. it isnt G1, don't expect it to be.

thank u for coming to my thots, i might do this more often because its fun :) there are lots of movies i've never seen that everyone ever has seen so maybe? i'll do that! idk like and subcscribes

[beacon-lamp]

Ngl, I don’t think TFTSMP would be even half as fun without the incredibly scuffed nature of it. Telling a serious story is great, but we get enough from the main DSMP, yknow? Quackity bringing... some kind of constant energy... and Karl literally yelling out all of the cues, the serious names and then the jokey ones, it makes it stick more because it’s so unique.

i think this ask is so amusing because people are Critical of tftsmp for the exact same reason.

but yeah honestly i Personally agree with this take anon. but that’s because i value entertainment value and humor over serious plot and angst.

at the end of the day, tftsmp is Entertainment and boy was i Entertained today. i heard technoblade state “poor people don’t deserve healthcare” and decided to stay and watch. i thought quackity was Hilarious just simply because of how In Character he was. compared to everyone else, his acting was Phenomenal. but i saw a lot of ppl say that he ruined the tone of the story and that he should learn to read a room better.

a bit more of a critical tone under the cut if anyone cares enough

i’ll say i’m not a big fan of tftsmp, bc it’s like. a serious storyline but with just the Worst acting (no hate no shade, i can’t act that much better). it’s one thing to purposefully ruin the immersion w quips and fourth wall breaking. it’s another to have the immersion and suspension of disbelief ruined by the writing and acting itself. but that’s why i don’t watch it. like if you don’t like a thing. don’t watch it? idk it’s not that deep. like there’s some stuff in the plot rn i don’t particularly care about and i don’t have the time to catch up on it anyways. so i just. don’t watch.

it’s ok to not like everything!! but just as a friendly reminder, it’s Not ok to shit on other ppl for liking something this harmless and insignificant if you don’t like that thing. idk like i get the criticisms of tftsmp but i just don’t get why you would watch something you have that many criticisms about. not to say the criticisms aren’t at least in some part valid. but like why repeatedly watch something you so actively criticize and dislike?

also i see people Hating On karl himself for the shortcomings of tftsmp. um. maybe don’t do that. it’s not his fault fans are giving him more recognition and credit for egg lore. is it unfair to bbh, antfrost, etc. yeah. but is it karl’s Fault? no. and it’s obvious that he doesn’t have any prior experience with this sort of storytelling/performing. but he’s trying it out and he’s having fun with it while also giving everyone else a role/spotlight in these streams and thus more exposure. idk i just. constructive criticism is Good. hate is not.

like it’s not like he’s putting in the bare minimum effort and just Expecting everyone to shower praise and give him money. the man is learning and trying his best and you really can see the Effort he’s putting in. and i really do respect him for it. putting himself out there like that and showing 200k+ people Live something he created. i just am not gonna watch tftsmp unless techno is in it lollll. but this stream was Great, loved it, had fun, laughed a fair amount.
