โจ about this blog โจ
โ
hey, i'm starlight or star! i'm in my 20s. i'm genderfluid (between being a woman, a man, and agender) and i constantly change my pronouns in my bio but they/them is always fine!!
โ
my ask box is always open and i love talking about my favorite characters and ships and sharing my thoughts in general! i also love being tagged in things. and for mutuals my DMs are always open too ๐
โ
i don't have a DNI but i do want to say that i am not comfortable with seeing incest or pedophilia, even in fictional ships, and i don't ever want to talk about those kinds of ships so if you think that stuff is cute then we probably won't get along! if you just like media that has dark themes that's fine but i would still ask you to tag it if you post it. i use "#star don't look" as a catchall blacklist tag.
โ
i have an anime sideblog over at @ritsukageyamas, a blog dedicated to the emperor's new groove at @kuzcoskingdom, and a stim blog where i make my own stimmy gifs and post stimboards over at @glitteringstardust! i've got a handful of other sideblogs too but i'm not really using any of them atm. if/when i become more active on them in the future i'll add them here.
โ
sometimes when i happen to be in the mood, i make gifs and edits on here too! but mostly i just reblog a ton of stuff and ramble about whatever. occasionally i liveblog things.
โ
my main fandoms are basically listed in my bio but i also decided to ramble about them and include some other assorted info under the cut!
โ
i'm a huge animation nerd!! i especially love walt disney animation and pixar films. some of my favorites include beauty and the beast, tangled, frozen, toy story 1-3, onward, and coco. i love all kinds of other animated films too but you can expect to see lots of disney/pixar stuff in general on here as it's basically my longest lasting special interest.
โ
i am also deeply in love with kingdom hearts and it's one of the things you can expect to see a lot of posts about. riku is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time and sorikai means the world to me.
โ
if you couldn't guess by my url i'm also brainrotting hard over twisted wonderland lately and will likely continue doing so for the foreseeable future. i have soooo much love for so many of the characters i literally can't even pick a favorite dorm. but riddle and idia are practically tied for the spot of my fave character and i ship riddle/floyd and idia/vil very hard.
โ
i am very into pokemon but especially the hoenn, unova, alola, and paldea regions and the pokemon mystery dungeon series. love pokemon adventures/pokespe as well.
โ
also majorly obsessed with baldur's gate 3 at the moment. especially gale. and elenion, my silly little half-elf bard guy that i romanced gale with ๐ and i don't see this changing anytime soon either.
โ
so the above things are kinda the main fandoms you'll see on here but my brain is also constantly hopping between other interests and getting me in the mood to reblog and talk about different things!! some of those other things can include uhhhh the PJO universe, utdr, a3! act addict actors, twewy, the original sherlock holmes stories + granada TV series, LOTR, ace attorney, avatar the last airbender, neopets, and also just. so many other things. unfortunately i shove 90% of what i like onto here instead of having sideblogs for the most part.
โ
also please please let me know if you need something tagged and i'll do my best to keep it in mind!!
โ
oh yeah. and if you wanna follow me on twitter you can but i'm rarely active there these days!
โ
hmm i guess that's all, so if you actually read this thank you so much and i hope you enjoy your day!!! ๐

So this tweet made a real good point and got me thinking about this scene:
As mentioned in their tweet, "you don't 'beg for mercy' for a job," and here he sounds so scared and desperate, like he's had to do this A LOT before with the directors and it's so... sad.
(more under the cut)
Before he finds out the truth about Eden, he believed they saved him from his former life and gave him new opportunities to continue his dreams, but do you think having to needlessly beg to keep your position as literally being the face of Eden out of fear you'll be replaced and thrown right back out to your old life is a so called dream come true?
Eden even made a trailer for a movie about his life to fame, showing how everyone was rejecting him as a person, which they definitely made it more simplified like I KNOW he was getting way worse treatment than what was shown.
My main point is that despite believing in Eden's motives (before knowing the truth), he still wasn't truly happy deep down. He was STILL getting rejected and slandered by society, and he knew that deep down, so it's not surprising how the possibility of him losing his job made him have a whole breakdown and do the things he did to try and cope.
He quite literally has no one to lean to and hasn't had anyone since showing up to Eden besides the directors (because he probably believed they were treating him fairly and with respect), but... yeah.
He wanted to make a difference, to give hope to hybrids, and he thought he was doing just that. Despite the way the directors and everyone thought of him, despite how alone he felt, he still thought he was achieving his dreams and sharing that onto others
and yet... he was being used this entire time. None of it was true, all the hard work and the things he went through was for nothing.
Everything that Eden has done, and he was the face of it all... it's just devastating.
#another one from my twitter#I've only been a fan of rayman overall for two weeks and now I'm sobbing over him this is a new record#shout out to that one analysis from raygirlramblings#it was because of your post that cemented my love for this character and almost had me cry and get too emotional at a library /pos /lh#captain laserhawk#rayman#cl rayman#cl ramon#captain laserhawk rayman#captain laserhawk ramon#analysis#OH AND ALSO I was watching the show with my sibling who then mentioned to me how rayman had probably been replaced before and#he's just one of the copies and MAN#I NEED ANSWERS GRAHHHHH#anywho if you're still reading this... thank you ๐ฅบ๐ and I hope you have a great day!

Bandee and Starstruck ๐๐
starting off my february starstruck dee ship-a-ganza with the big one. they do seem like... the obvious answer, huh...?
they have far and away the most development together and the strongest personal relationship, both in what i've posted, and in her story overall! would kill or die for each other in a heartbeat. i would be absolutely lying if i said i'd never thought about it, but i'm not 100% convinced my thoughts lead me to romance specifically...
they're already pretty insane about each other! starstruck in particular is madly in love with bandee in every way it's possible to be. loves him the way he loves kirby, i think (pretty sure he does not know this. might be shocked to learn it.)
however she's daft as bricks, so he'd have to initiate, and i can't really imagine anything in their relationship would change.... so he'd have to mostly want The Title or the Performance one way or another, and i'm not super sure he would!
#so... this comic is canon to her storyline and is meant to be read as platonic friendship for now!#but i'd be v interested to hear anyone else's thoughts on this pairing in particular!! COULD it be romo??? like.. sure! but how?#i think it would be super cute. but HOW?? i'm just kinda stuck. they're already nuts about each other. what else is there? qpp maybe.#loves him the way he loves kirby. devoutly. viscerally.#the spot carved out of your heart that's just the right size. pulse beating someone else's tune. it's not your palm you know best.#do you get what i'm saying. someone please read these tags and respond i gotta know i'm not the only one#'starflung is all your prose like /that/' yeah sorry. and this is why i don't share my writing lmao. pretentious loser#starstruck dee#bandana waddle dee#my art#my comics#๐๐

"For both bonobos and chimpanzees, the bodies of the dead evoke many emotions. Even if the process often begins with trauma and confusion, typically corpses shift to a liminal status; not alive, but equally not a lump of meat. They're more intensively manipulated than hunted animals, and carried for longer. In some โ if not all โ cases, the eaters must know what and who they're consuming. Cannibalism is very probably a powerful means by which individuals and groups process the impact not only of killings carried out on emotional impulses, but other deaths too. In other words, it's about grieving. [...] "Shift these scenarios to Neanderthals, and add into the mix their far greater cognitive sophistication, and lives that revolved around using lithics. Suddenly it's not difficult to envision how skills in carefully taking apart hunted carcasses might be transposed into a grieving process that involved butchery and cannibalism as acts of intimacy, not violation."
Rebecca Wragg Sykes, Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art
#quotes#rebecca wragg sykes#kindred: neanderthal life love death and art#what could be a better way to start off this new year than#๐๐๐ cannibalism ๐๐๐#& ๐๐๐ grief ๐๐๐#this book is excellent btw if you're interested at all in neanderthals i HIGHLY recommend it#it is dense with data but the author takes care to write about it in an accessible way#& with a sense of profound wonder that suffuses everything#like even if you don't read through the whole thing i encourage picking up a copy just to peruse the little creative writing vignettes#at the top of each chapter

Not to get mushy but. Have you thought about how lucky we all are for being here right now? Like, how many of us struggled so hard before, to the point of nearly giving up? And yet we're here??
What are the odds of a bunch of random weirdos all over the world happen to get into the same bands, and be active in a equally weird, supposedly "dead" social media, at the same time? And just happen to be "just" brave enough to talk to someone, and another one, and another one?
I mean really. Have you thought about it? This just doesn't really happen like that. There's so many of you I consider genuine friends. So many of us that have or will meet irl. Like??? Hello ??? This is crazy!! Genuinely bonkers!!! Idk man, I'm super in my feels and I appreciate tf out of you all.
I mean, wow. How lucky I am to be here right now and be your friend. Yall are so neat and cute and interesting and cool and precious, like WOW. I'm glad we made it so far guys. Let's be alive for a long time ๐ฅน๐
#i'm thinking about the VERY SPECIFIC conditions that had to happen for me to be here#and it's crazy. almost impossible really.#idk guys. not to be annoying again about clancy but i'm being SO healed right now#also I'm on the bus and it makes me contemplate life a lot#also I'm on my period so obviously i get 1000x more mushy#aaaaaaaa sorry i'm listening to the album and having a little cry on the bus and the sun is shining and there's butterflies on the dash#yall are so awesome for being alive despite it all. i am too.#i love you guys ugh#๐ฅบ๐๐ซ#SORRY TO BE IN MY FEELS AGAIN. CLANCY IS BITING ME IN THE ASS. Also that video of Vessel letting the crowd sing Euclid????#I CANNOT HANDLE IT I'M TOO FRAGILE RIGHT NOW#anyways. round of applause to anyone reading this. even if we never talked before. you're so cool and smell great and things will be okay ๐ค

โA vessel no more, instead a crown bearing deity.โ
I got really into Cult of The Lamb, and my brain did what it did best and smashed together my other major hyperfixation and the idea of Atem as The One Who Waits and Yugi as The Lamb would NOT leave my mind.
I initially drew up a quick sketch back in August of LAST YEAR,, and my motivation died out back when I wasnโt able to finish anything. It would stay an unfinished sketchโฆ
Except the super amazing @book-keeper loved the crossover idea so much that they wrote a twoshot for it, and my motivation immediately came back to life.
It only took a year and some change, but Iโm so grateful to them for bringing my motivation back to finish it ๐
Go check out their fic A Vessel No More ; my sketch isnโt a one-to-one match with their depictions in the fic, but itโs my initial drawing that I was able to finish and dedicate to this fic in return :]
No background vers and no color/linework vers under cut
#shout out again to Bookie you are so awesome and amazing and I loved every bit of the fic#still blows my mind that you had not played the games and just did a super deep dive on lore and research LOOOOL#I dedicate this art to you for you were the one who brought back my motivation to finish it after reading your amazing fic ๐#yugi mutou#pharaoh atem#puzzleshipping#blindshipping#colt#colt crossover#ygo dm#my art#okay this is the year of finishing wips because oooh my goodness this is not the only example of something sitting in the pile forgotten ๐ญ#getting on adderall helps LMAO ๐๐ผ

Law was not a fan of his birthday.
The Heart Pirates knew to keep to themselves for the day, even though deep down they wished for nothing more than to celebrate their amazing Captain. Years flew by in the blink of an eye, his birthday passing over and over without so much as a cake or gift, except for the ones given by Bepo, Penguin and Shachi.
Then Y/N came along.
Waking to a good handful blown up balloons wandering around his office, his brows furrowed with a deep frown across his face in confusion. Glancing at the clock, he realized he'd only slept about three hours, and by the amount of balloons that were floating around-
His thoughts stopped as his door creaked open slightly and a gift bag was shuffled in, a familiar hand quickly pulling back and closing the door. Law narrowed his eyes at the gift with a low sigh, hearing the rapid footsteps leaving his door.
Laws hands clenched into fists as he stared at the gift bag, forcing himself to take a deep breath before he finally walked towards it. He bent down slightly and picked it up, giving a soft hum in surprise at the weight.
Slowly making his way back to his desk, he flopped down in his chair tiredly, a tattooed hand running through messy hair with a loud yawn leaving him at the same time. He simply stared at the gift until the door opened and in came Bepo, a fresh cup of tea in his paws.
"Good morning, Captain!"
Law gave his best friend a withering look, accepting the mug with a nod of thanks as he sighed down at the gift once again.
"...I don't think anyone told her."
Laws eyes flickered back to Bepo at his meek voice, an almost anxious look on the Minks face as he took in his Captains state.
"... it's fine."
Bepo quickly gave his report before giving a salute, murmuring quickly, "Happy birthday!" before running out the door before Law could retort with a snap. The Heart Pirate Captain grunted in irritation and huffed as he threw his face into his palms, rubbing at his aching eyes roughly before pulling away with another huff.
Glaring at the card taped to the simple paper bag, little Heart Pirate crests hand drawn all over it, he ripped it off the bag and opened it, wanting to get it done and over with.
His motions slowed as he took in the hand-made card, his fingers gently running over the front with another deep-set frown. He could tell the love and effort Y/N had put into it.
Opening it, his heart slumped through the floor as he took in all the loving words and signatures from everyone on the ship, the thought touching Law, though he gave a low "Tsk," a hand covering the lower half of his face as he read everything over.
His eyebrows furrowed again as he realized Y/N hadn't signed it, giving the card a flip over and he felt tears prickle his eyes as he took in the words she'd written on the back.
Law,
I'm so proud of you for doing your best to be okay.
I'm proud of you for waking up and trying.
I'm so proud of you for being here today because I know some of your yesterday's were really hard.
You are going to get through whatever you go through, because you're not alone anymore.
I hope you fight for yourself when no one else does and I hope you know you are worthy of your wildest dreams.
You are someone worth fighting for.
Keep going.
Love always,
Y/N. โก
Throwing the card down on his desk a little more aggressively than he meant to, he sat back in his chair with his arms crossed tight across his chest, fighting back the tears that threatened to fall.
He absolutely loathed how hard her words hit, his heart both racing and sinking in his chest, his hands gripping his arms as he chewed the inside of his bottom lip.
He stewed for a good hour, his eyes never leaving the card. It was like it was made of poison and he would get sick if he touched it again, but it felt like his hands burned to touch it once more. He fought with himself over and over until he finally went for the gift, pulling out four individually wrapped items.
Ripping the first one open, he let out an almost inaudible gasp, his hands brushing over the cover of a First Edition of Sora : Warrior of the Seas. Opening it to the first page, he noted with pure excitement that it was not only number 4 out of millions of copies, but it was signed.
Child like excitement ran over him as he held the book to his chest, an overwhelming feeling of gratitude encompassing him. His hands shook slightly as he put the book down, his fingers almost not wanting to leave it in case it burst into dust under his touch.
He finally went for the next gift, opening the smaller package and giving a shaky, soft laugh as he looked over the Commemorative Collectors Coins, four of them in total.
Alabasta, Logue Town, Fishman Island...
Flevance.
Wide, teary eyes took in the coin, slightly dented and marred from its years of being traded; he noted it looked recently polished and he immediately broke down, his free hand covering his face as he silently wept into his palm.
He didn't know how long he cried for, the coin tight in his fist and indenting his skin to the point of almost bruising it. When his eyes finally stopped shedding tears, he looked back up and gave a watery sigh, picking up the next gift, the coin still in his other hand.
He smiled softly at the new pen, turning it over and chuckling to himself as he noted his name etched into the side of it, along with a new, lined journal. He flipped the book open and hummed softly, taking in the small words Y/N wrote on the first inner page.
For when things just don't make sense... write it out! โก
He opened the last gift and immediately threw it on, the handmade scarf black and yellow striped with his ensignia embroidered on both ends soft against his neck. His hands ran over the high quality yarn with an amazed look, surprised by how well it was made.
A knock on his door caused him to jump, quickly throwing everything back into the bag and gently placing it under his desk, though his hometown coin remained on his desk, just off to the side.
"Come in."
Y/N poked her head in and his heart leapt into his throat at her expression, sadness and worry written across her face as she stepped in. She closed the door behind her and walked the three steps to his desk, sitting down at the chair in front of it and immediately opened her mouth to speak, only to stop at Law raised his hand.
"I have something to say, first. If you don't mind."
His words grew quiet by the end, almost nervous as he took a breath and slowly continued,
"I... had a very... wild childhood, as you would put it. How you knew about my hometown..."
He shook his head as she went to reply, anxiety clear in her eyes.
"I don't know who told you, but I am incredibly grateful to you for what you gave me. This is an irreplaceable gift, Y/N."
His eyes softened as he continued a little quieter,
"A very thoughtful gift. I am incredibly thankful."
Reaching down, he pulled out the book and pursed his lips into a thin line, unable to contain his excitement as he then asked,
"How did you find this? Do you know how rare these are?"
Y/N gave a relieved sigh before laugh lightly,
"Incredibly rare. It's uh," She scratched her cheek as she looked of to the side, her cheeks tinted pink. "It was mine. I have number 4 and 5, and who better to give the signed edition to but Sora's biggest fan?"
Law clutched the book to his chest again, his inner child literally screaming and running around in his head at her words.
"... What did I do to deserve such kindness?"
Turning her eyes back to him, she gave him a wide, genuine grin as she cheekily replied,
"You may not like your birthday, but I like your birthday... and I think that's reason enough to celebrate."
Smiling back at her, he placed the book down on his desk and rose from his chair, moving around his desk and gently grasping her hands, pulling her from her own chair and into his arms tightly.
The two were silent for a while, her head on his chest and arms around his waist as his arms cradled her to him, his cheek resting on the top of her head comfortably. After a few moments, Laws voice suddenly rumbled out softly,
"... I think I can deal with that."
Y/N chuckled into his chest, the sound and feeling causing his heart to dance in his ribs like a wild drum.
"For the rest of your life?"
Law laughed slightly, grinning into his hair as he replied,
"I, at the very least, think I could handle another year with you."
