Just read knuckle velvet and my god what amazing talent you have! I felt all the emotions in this. Got me crying so hard for this girl and her family. I want to give her the biggest hug and adopt her šŸ©µ Now I got questionsā€¦
Iā€™m actually so surprised after all he did to her, he just left. Why? Would he ever try to bring her back to the Capitol?
If she got pregnant. What would he do if he found out she got pregnant by him?
What happened to Sejanus?
Was he really going to leave her to die if she didnā€™t tell him to come back?
omg thank you hehe and yeah i love a good open ended ambiguous ending šŸ¤­ ill try to keep this short bc i could talk about things for too long.
1. he's too power hungry for that life, he never would have been content staying there, being a peacekeeper, or whatever else of a life the district would have offered him, nor did he really want it. he's always stretching for more. and i do think he wanted her in the Capitol but mostly for selfish purposes. the romantic inside of me believes he thinks of her often and wants to kidnap her but the masochist believes he never thinks about her again until he see flashes of her when baker boi Peeta shows up.
2. i dont think he ever would have found out, but he probs would have just left them there and pretended they never existed bc it would ruin his image and legitimacy as president to have a district child. there was an ending where she had gotten pregnant. Legit had this originally written out: 'All you had left of him was that precious blond baby boy and a gunshot wound." But it just wasnt a vibe. i was going to have her sister and sejanus end up having kids bc its left up to interpretation if she is kinda related to Peeta.
3. Sejanus had like four different endings: one: was like above where he ends up with her sister, two: he left and went to medic training, three: her sister kinda pushed him away after everything happened bc she needed to take care of reader/father's business. four: snow kills him along with gavin. i always leaned towards two/three bc im cold hearted but u can pick which one u like the best!
4. yes. he probs would have came back tho eventually to take care of the body lmao he comes back bc her calling out for him reassures he dug out a place for himself so deep inside of her she cant help but need/want him even tho he's her monster. i think theres moments where he thinks he cares about her bc she sees him as a villain and still feels things for him, but he has other goals and doesn't care.

Is there a particular reason you stopped making Fortnite art?
ohhhh boy. theres a few? in part its because it stopped being fulfilling and i lost interest and inspiration. its also because i cant play the game anymore because it cant run on my laptop with the new updates.
but a big one is that people are... really mean. really, really mean. people in the fortnite community overall are SOOOO NEGATIVE esp to artists. i make primarily romantic art and pinup art, and people can be incredibly unkind. ive been called slurs (both homophobic and racial), ive seen my friends get bullied for posting art in a similar vein, fuck that shit was a NIGHTMARE. fortnite possibly has the worst fandom ive ever seen, and ive been in SO MANY of them! i made mostly Jonesdation art, and while there were people who liked it, there was a lot of people who also didnt. there was some kind of weird.. looming feeling that i was afraid of posting my indulgent work (of course i always posted it anyway! im no pussy) but i dont like having that feeling loom over me. its also bc some of my friends kind of thought it was Funny when i did Foundation art since they didnt care much abt fortnite lore and thought my serious art i put all my time into was funny because of who acted Foundation. and i want my ideas to be taken seriously enough if i present them in a serious fashion.
its also because The Seven got slipped out of the story as time passed, and i really just couldnt get into the Oathbound or current groups. and even then, content with The Seven and Foundation in particular really felt like punch after punch regarding a character i became attached to (to nearly a delusional extent) with peoples perception of him becoming shittier because of a fucking comic that sucked ass. after a while it feels like people forgot abt him :( fortnite seriously moves WAYYY too fast and theres too many characters to get attached to, once your fave falls out of relevancy in story you are probably not gonna hear about them again? the only seven members i ever see ANYONE talk abt anymore is origin and that is bc im friends with the number one origin fans SBHJAHBANJA i love them i hope they have fun forever <3
something else that i think is that, i fell out of the fortnite fandom because it feels like its not a great place to explore ideas for me. when it comes to writing, i want to explore relationships, symbols, backstories, and the character i liked (Foundation) did NOT have that many people willing to explore those ideas and it made me scared to share them. Fortnite also doesnt really have a lot of... depth. it COULD have depth, sure, but you have to grasp at straws and make up half of it. it just.. wasnt fulfilling enough, i need something i can Dig into.
ill always love the Fortnite characters, and ill always love The Seven. ill always love Fiore (my foundation oc i made before he got unmasked officially) and FUCK ill always love all of the villains and Jones. but right now i need to explore something else fulfilling
here are some other small reasons:
my art has been stolen for tiktok thirst traps multiple times
i dont have a problem with being in a community with a lot of teenagers (i am a teenager. an adult one but ykno) but DAMN its a relief to be able to talk like an adult to OTHER ADULTS now that im out of there
ive also had to hide my nsfw art twitter for a variety of reasons that are complex. (one of them being that Im not trying to get bullied more)
it felt like i was fucked bc i couldnt produce relevant art fast enough to keep up with the game

Hey!
Bee Iā€™m coming to you for an advice since Iā€™m in so much distress and I just feel your words will be so comforting. Youā€™ve that ability to just speak comfort.
So Iā€™ve been ARMY since January 2021. Itā€™s exactly my anniversary today (the 21th) and I love that journey with these amazing people. Iā€™ve learnt and grown so much with them and their wisdom. Iā€™ve also had great memories with ARMYS on Twitter and overran a memorable experience.
But now.. especially since my universe era, everything has become uglier and more dull because of ARMYS. In the beginning i was ONLY stanning BTS and I never questioned the way ARMYS spoke so ill about other idols or belittled their fandoms, I just thought it was ARMYS reciprocating the treatment. So I started branching out and listening to other boy and girl groups and Iā€™m so happy because I didnā€™t want to one day just be that person that writes off other talented groups just because of BTS.
And since then, itā€™s like my colored glasses were off and I saw how insufferable and toxic a lot of ARMYS are. Always belittling otherā€™s achievements, milestones and calling everyone that even tries to reach btsā€™s unachievable records a ā€œflopā€. It has gotten viscous. And whenever I try to reason with people on stan Twitter that this is not right nor a good look for BTS, they call me ā€œa multi hoeā€ or just anti bts. Itā€™s so ridiculous. I can wholeheartedly say, ARMYS are some of the most toxic people Iā€™ve ever come across. And now I get why many just dislike or donā€™t even try to stan BTS because of their entitled fans. Ofc THeres the good and intelligent ones, but these are often silenced. And donā€™t even let me start of that ā€œbts paved the wayā€ bullshit because the last time I remembered, BTS didnā€™t pave shit. In fact that made it harder for other groups to ever reach their level and I donā€™t see that as paving, because paving essentially means making things easier and BTS made it the total opposite and thatā€™s just facts.
Iā€™m so lost. I donā€™t wanna say I dislike bts because of these instances but itā€™s making it hard for me to be on Twitter and getting my blod pressure high every hour because of these dumb arguments online. Itā€™s not good for me nor for BTS.
Am Iā€™m overreacting or do I have right to feel suffocated by these things? I think itā€™s also because thereā€™s never a break... Iā€™m constantly getting bombarded by it, but also feel guilty if Iā€™m not up to date on every detail or content BTS posts. So Iā€™m so torn.
Should I leave TWITTER? Should I leave this fandom... not bts but just not associate with ARMYS? I feel I want more and I enjoy the good times but Iā€™ve also reached a point where Iā€™m mentally tired and distressedšŸ˜­
Ah, yes, come into the arms of an old ARMY soul and let me comfort you. Becoming an ARMY goes through all the same stages as falling in love. First there's the curiosity, then the thrill of learning all you can about them and finding they are perfect for you, then the honeymoon period where they become your whole world, and then eventually, you begin to see them for who they really are, all the good and and all the bad. And you have to decide if the real relationship is worth keeping in your life or not. I'll post some tips below for how to rekindle the spark, but only you can decide if your life is better for their presence in it or not.
Bee's Guidelines for Keeping Your Fandom Space Enjoyable
1. The only thing you can control is your own emotions
Things you cannot control: what people say on the internet, what other ARMY do or say, other people's emotional reactions, what BTS will do or feel or think about something
Things you can control: your own actions, most of your exposure to people or content that is upsetting
It does no good to "reason with people on stan twitter". Because you cannot control how other people will think or feel about something, especially people that you don't have a pre-existing relationship. It will just lead to you pour lots of energy into things that will stress you out and not cause any meaningful change. Block or mute things that make you want to argue. When you engage with content, even content that makes you mad, all the social media algorithms will adapt to show you more of it. So by trying to argue against it, you end up promoting it/bringing in more of the stuff that will upset you.
2. If it doesn't spark joy, get rid of it
I do not automatically follow-back on Twitter. I only follow people I have already interacted with positively in some way. As I'm scrolling and find myself having a strong emotional response to something, like anger or fear, I will either unfollow or mute the poster (even if I agree with them!). I mute friends sometimes, not out of any animosity toward them, but just because I don't have the stamina to continually be upset every time I go to my safe and happy place.
3. You are not obligated to anyone but yourself
You don't owe anyone anything. You are a part of this fandom because it brings you joy. Fandom will always expand to fill whatever amount of free-time you are willing to give it, so there is no way to possibly keep up with all of it. Take breaks as you need to. Things that seem urgent and important today on ARMY Twitter are usually gone by the next day. Just ride the wave and dip in and out as you are able and find enjoyable.
It sounds to me that at a minimum, you need to give yourself some space to think. Maybe just try turning off the social media for a day or two and see how you feel. Good luck!

dream taking reader from the back while Friends by Chase Atlantic is playing in the background šŸ‘€
-also may I be šŸŖ anon? if not that's absolutely fine! ly stay safe!
yooo ive been working on so many things i forgot i finished this one! hopefully its how you wanted it to be cause im v proud of it. heavy angst in the beginning but it ends with rough smut and fluff
Just tell me what youre doin with that other guy
Your friends had invited you to a party, you didnt want to be here but your most recent boy toy, quackity, had insisted that you both go because he wanted to show you off. As soon as you both got there however, he ran off with some of his friends, leaving you to stand around with your absolutely plastered group of girl friends. They all kept talking about this one guy on the other side of the room who they said was ā€œbad newsā€. You had no idea who they were talking about until your eyes met.
ā€œI bet i could get in his pants first, i dont care how bad of an idea it is.ā€ says one of your friends.
All of your girlfriends are wasted, they want it, they chase it
You couldnt just let her say that about him, as much as you were mad at him you couldnt stand her degrading him like that. ā€œActually him and i used to mess around, i kinda miss him to be honestā€¦.he was always so sweet and perfect to me.ā€ you retaliate to your friends humiliating comment about the guy you regret losing.
ā€œYoure joking. You do know hes literally the biggest fuckboy ever. Theres no way in hell im even letting you go near him tonight, besides you have quackity now.ā€ gemma said, she may be wasted but she was always the mom of the group. You sigh and go back to your solo cup full of whatever clear alcohol you poured into it earlier.
All of your friends have been here for to long, they must be waiting for you to move on
Gemma continued to watch you for the next several hours until your eyes caught his again. Dream was a fitting name for him, he was like a dream come true for you with his dirty blonde hair and soft, freckled covered face. He always towered over you but it made you feel safe.
Girl, im not with it, im way to far gone
As your eyes met you could tell he was gone, his eyes devouring your skin as if he could still see what you looked like beneath your small skirt and crop top. You shudder at his predatory gaze before he gestures up the stairs and walks away, leaving you shuddering and trying to figure out what he was up to.
ā€œHey, im gonna run to the kitchen for a drink, ill be back in a sec.ā€ you said and gemma nodded as you quickly make your way through the crowded space and up the stairs.
Heart on your sleeve like youve never been loved
You couldnt lie, you really didnt like quackity but after everything went downhill with dream you just needed someone to be there for you and he happened to walk in at the wrong time. As you get to the top of the stairs, dream pulls you quickly into a bathroom and locks the door before pressing you against it.
Runnin in circles now look what youve done
He looked a mess, eyes puffy and red, obviously not all there after drinking so much.
ā€œLook what youve done to me, really look at it. I havent been the same since i let you go, i made a mistake. Please...please come back.ā€ youve never seen him like this, begging for a second chance.
Give you my word as you take it and run
ā€œHow can i trust you wont hurt me again. You said that you would never hurt me then you went and did what you did. How do i know you arent lying?ā€ he looks down, one hand reaching out to take yours.
ā€œLet me prove it to youā€
Wish youd let me stay, im ready now
ā€œYou cant just walk back into my life and expect me to just take you at your word or let you ā€˜make it up to meā€™. What you did tore me apart dreamā€ your eyes go dark as you look at him with anger and sadness.
Just give me some time and space to realize
ā€œAfter not being with you for so long, it made me realize how much i need you in my lifeā€ he looks at you with desperation
And what the hell were we? Tell me we werent just friends, this doesnt make much sense
ā€œYou told me that all we would ever be is friends when i told you how much i loved you, how much i still love you. After all of that, after all the tears ive spilled for you, you just expect to walk back in here and regain my love and trust?ā€ you take his hand softly, ā€œthats not how it works as bad as i want it to work that way.ā€
But im not hurt im tense, cause ill be fine without you, babe
ā€œI lied, i told you i would be fine and that i didnt need your or love you like you love me but i lied. I was so scared of you leaving that i pushed you away. Please, just give me one more chanceā€¦ā€ he looked so sad as he said that. Opening up was never one of his strong points so you took what he said to heart.
Wish youd let me stay, im ready now
ā€œThen make it up to me.ā€ you smirk at him as he looks up at you with wide eyes. ā€œMake me forget everything you did to hurt me and maybe i'll give you another chance.ā€ he smirks and his eyes go dark with lust before he pulls you from against the door and bends you over the sink. Your phone rings an you check to see who it is
Incoming call from: quackity
You toss your phone to the side quickly as dream starts to tug at your skirt, tugging it down quickly to see you had nothing on under it.
ā€œIts like you came here ready for me to fuck you princess. Being so naughty with nothing on under this skimpy little skirt.ā€ he slaps your ass hard and you lurch forward with a moan. He pulls your hands behind your back, pinning them there with one hand as the other starts to play with you, putting one finger in and pulling a moan from your throat. ā€œSuch pretty noises, god why did i ever let a perfect little thing like you go.ā€ he adds a second finger and starts to thrust them relentlessly as you moan and beg from under him, the familiar tune of a song you played for him drifting up the stairs as you slowly come undone below him. He chuckles darkly before pulling his fingers out, dragging a whine from you before he quickly replaces it, thrusting into you all at once and setting a rough pace. He uses his free hand to tug you back by your hair and make you look in the mirror.
ā€œLook at how much of a mess you are for me, no one else can make you feel like this princess, youre all mine.ā€ he finishes his sentence with a particularly rough thrust that makes you scream out, coaxing an orgasm you didnt even know you were so close to out of you as he keeps going. You watch your form in the mirror, seeing how ruined you looked with tears running down your cheeks and ruined makeup. He laughs behind you before pulling you up to his chest and moving the hand that was pinning your behind your back to your throat, applying light pressure. You let out a silent moan and throw your head back before he leans down and bites it.
ā€œSuch a dirty girl, getting off on my hand around your neckā€ he puts more pressure on your neck before biting above his hand. Your eyes roll back as you cum around him again with a muffled scream. He pulls his hand from your neck and starts to bite and suck on it, his hips stuttering as he comes closer to his end. ā€œS-so fucking good for me princess, never gonna let you go againā€ as he say that he fills you up with a gutteral moan and you throw your hands back to grip his hair. You both take a second to come down before he pulls out, causing you to whine before he helps you put your skirt back on and turns you to face him.
ā€œGive me another chance?ā€ he smiles softly at you.
ā€œOnly if you take me home.ā€ he nods quickly and takes your hand, leading you down the stairs an past your friends and your ā€œboyfriendā€
ā€œHey babe, where are you going with that asshole?ā€ quackity asks before trying to pull you away from dream.
ā€œActually quackity, weā€™re over...sorry!ā€ with that, both you and dream rush out of the house and to his car before getting in. he takes you back to his apartment and you both curl up on the couch, you laying on his chest with a content smile as he pulls a blanket over the both of you. You fall asleep in his arms, knowing that it was just right.

"at least this means we dont have to worry anymore." kaachan shrugs, you snap your head towards him,
"what do you mean?"
"I mean usually theres only like one, right? meaning we're most likely in the clear." you nod, you honestly forgot kaachan existed there for a sec, he was just so...quiet.
"kaachan c'mere, you too deku." the former looked at you weirdly but complied, while the latter bounced over to you.
you briefly let go of dabi and pulled shoto with you, and hugged all three of the young boys closely.
you knew that them and ingeniumu were in the same classes all through highschool, and they joined headquarters together, to lose a friend like that...you couldn't imagine it.
shoto grabbed onto your arms again, hugging himself close to you, deku, wrapped his arms around you and kaachan -surprisingly- leaned into you, he didnt hug you back but he showed his appreciation and a few sniffles could he heard from all of them.
"c'mon guys, we just have to finish our tasks and soon enough we'll be home, okay?" they nod and slowly pull themselves off of you. "ill show you guys my place and we'll get froyo, all of us,"
shoto lets out a small smile whereas deku didnt hide his, even kaachan didnt bother hiding the goofy smile that broke through.
during your time together you had become a bit of a mother towards the three, especially kaachan and shoto, deku already having a healthy relationship with his mum.
as deku and shoto walk away, kaachan lingered.
"thanks." he mumbles, looking at his feet, you hold his cheek in a protective way
"no problem kaa, now shoo, go with deku," kaachan smirks and walks away.
dabi almost regretted when the moment ended, but was happy to have you in his arms again.
"that was sweet."
you hum, "yeah, your gonna have to include those kids in our little life plan you wrote," you smirk up at him, teasing him about the page you found a couple months ago, which was filled with things he wanted to do with you.
"shup up," he smiled, genuinely smiled at you, and you leant up to give him a peck on the lips.
"wonder, you ready to go?" you turn slightly to see hawks, and you pout.
"actually, do you mind if I take her from now? you and shoto can team up," hawks shrugged.
"sure! ill rescue shoto and let him be with someone cool for once!" hawks laughed as dabi was obviously annoyed.
as everyone went off with their group to finish their task you couldnt help but think.
you were glad fun loving hawks was back, you were glad everyone was back to normal actually. you dont think you guys would ever officially be healed but the thought that this was over made you happy.
dabi tugged on your hand and you looked towards him.
"can I kiss you?"
you blushed, he never outright ASKED, but you nodded anyways, filling with electricity as he cupped you cheeks and smashed his lips on yours.
you both moved in synch, as you ran your fingers through his hair and lightly tugged at times, knowing that made him go feral and right now you just wanted to forget.
you thought of how ingeniumu would react to finding you and dabi like this, the kid would probably start waving his arms and going berserk, thirteen would probably have to calm him down and tell him that it's fine, he's always nice like that.
or, he WAS always nice like that.
you felt dabi pull away and you were about to question it until you felt the tears on your cheek yourself.
"what's wrong doll?" he cupped you face and you saw worry in his eyes.
"n-nuthin." you hiccup, the weight of the reality of this situation finally crashing down on you.
they were dead, they really were dead.
"is it because of, yknow?" he jerks his head towards the cafeteria, referencing exactly why you were crying.
you let out a sob as you bobbed your head.
"awh, c'mere doll," dabi cooed and grabbed the back of your head, pulling you in for a tight hug and his other hand slipped around your waist, softly squeezing to show support.
"t-theyre go-gone! a-and ingeniumu will n-never be the-there to sco-scold us ag-gain and a-and and-" you hiccupped out, they were gone, they were really fucking gone.
"shh shh doll, it will be okay, think about having froyo with the kids and me, how about we make it a tradition? every Sunday how about?" you slightly nod as he moves his hand around you head to cup your cheek, whipping your tears, "yeah? and with me, you, kaachan, deku and shoto, we'll all have froyo each sunday, and when we eventually have kids we'll bring them along too,"
you hum, that did sound nice.
"kaachan would probably try to teach them how to probably beat up deku before they reached 5," you let out a laugh, he would do that.
"and if they didnt learn how to properly throw a right hook on their own before 3, he would probably stay up all day and night to make sure," your voice sounded croaky but dabi still smiled.
"exactly. even if we have to change the life plan a little bit it will still be our life plan, and we're gonna spend it together," you smile and look up at your boyfriend.
"thank you touya," you lightly kiss his cheek,
"anything for you doll,"
he went to kiss your lips again before both of your watches beeped, an emergency meeting.
you both ran back towards the cafeteria, deku, shoto, twice and hawks already there, where was kaachan?
hawks seemed to catch your eye looking throughout the room, and spoke up, "kaachan is dead."
suddenly it felt like everything came crashing down.
you didnt understand, he was- he was there and alive! and your plans- oh god you cant go for froyo now.
it seemed silly to worry about that but you were panicking, it was what you were supposed to do!
you stared at hawks, "n-no. no. hes not dead."
hawks took a step forward, "wonder-"
"no! he- he cant be dead! t-the froyo and the the-" dabi grabbed you and pulled you into his chest again, your newly dried eyes watering again but you just pathetically leaned into your boyfriend. "he cant be dead." you whimpered.
dabi affectionately rubbed your back, "it's okay doll, its gonna be okay,"
everyone stared at you in sympathy, they were all affected but it was obvious you were struggling.
twice had a different look though, like guilt, one that hawks didnt miss.
"hey twice?"
he snapped his head up towards the blonde, "yeah?" his voice slightly cracked.
"where were you?"
"I-"
"oh god not with this shit again! hawks will you give it a break for two fucking seconds?" dabi snaps, "I dont care if this is your way of coping is fucking interrogating us or something but just leave it alone!"
"oh im SO sorry for worrying about who's gonna be dead next!"
"i dont ca-"
shoto interrupted the two, "tomura said he was with twice last time and twice agreed. but now we know tomura was killing." shoto's voice cracked.
twice widened his eyes, but nodded. "i-im sorry."
everyone stared in shock, even hawks was silent.
he didnt look up, "the system is fucked, I'm telling you that, but I didnt want to hurt any of you i swear!"
hawks didnt say anything as he pushed him into the trash chute room, and neither did twice, he didnt even protest.
"can I ask you one more question?" hawks asked, twice slowly nodding.
"are there anymore?"
twice makes eye contact with dabi, another look hawks doesnt miss, and nods, holding up a finger.
with that hawks pulls the switch and out went twice, into space.

ANNOUNCEMENT: NOT A HELLO, BUT NOT A GOODBYE EITHER
omg hi ... im like . ashamed to come back after saying brief hiatus in october and then disappearing off the face of the earth til FEBRUARY but under the cut i will be explaining myself and the following, if youre interested (and a tl;dr at the very bottom if you donā€™t wanna scroll thru this obnoxiously long post):
the reason(s) i was gone for so long
what i was doing during that time (its just a personal account yall can scroll past this idrc)
the status of those um . halloween requests
the future of this account
i. so . Hiatus .
i know. i knowĀ . i probably mentioned it when i made the announcement post, but my mental health likes to go on one of those rides. yknow the ones where you go like up rlly fast then down maybe and then up then DOWN .... its like that. i needed a break and every time i wanted to come back or thought about it, something would happen and i would get stuck in my own head.
a big reason for getting stuck in my head was (and i hate to admit this ... i hate to admit that i have Insecurities On The Internet) my feelings of inadequacy regarding my writing. i love to plot fics, i love concepts and characters and making little headcanons but i dont ... know if i love writing rn. and i thought for the longest time that like . whatever ill just push thru it its fine ill be fine but it kinda wasnt lmao you can kinda see it in my halloween reqs and what become of them when i get to that but i began to feel like nothing i had put out or wouldĀ put out would hold up prose wise (and normally i dont feel like this im much moreĀ ā€œidc its my life im living itā€ but thats not a rant for tumblr LMAO). i still feel like that -- like im better as a reader than a writer. but . You Know :-)
tl;dr: mental state go brrrrr
ii. anywhere hereā€™s wonderwall
when i left, i was in a steadily decreasing mental and emotional state, made worse by a situation at work that really was a case of petty jealousy on my end and rlly isnt very consequential now despite how much pain and resentment it gave me when it Was a problem so i wont get into it. the tl;dr of november and december was me using work as an crutch and distraction -- i know my job, i do it well, it helped me not think about my responsibilities and obligations and inadequacies. of course, as the holiday season grew busier n busier i was scheduled so often that i moved 88 or so milesĀ (according to my apple watch, which i ONLY wear at work since im never anywhere else outside my house) and fell into a cycle of showering n sleeping at my house before going back the next day. (theres definitely something to be said abt capitalism andĀ ā€œgrind cultureā€ here but once again its not the time or place snsjkdfds)
at the turn of the new year, i happened to remember a birthday card i hadnt filed away for safekeeping from a friend of mine that id been horribly out of touch with til that point. i started crying because i realized how out of touch id been in generalĀ up until that point. the month of january was great for me: i was focused, happy, and in a much better place than i had been before. the end of it brought me down focus wise and im hoping that enough time away from my distractions will refocus me bc i ... need it LMAO and though ive burned out from that level of productivity and gotten distracted again im ... trying to stay positive which i think is the most i can do šŸ˜šŸ‘šŸ¼
media wise, i got real into stardew valley (but burned out bc i played it extensively as a way to wind down after work), the pokemon platinum romhack renegade platinum (still havent finished it bc of school n i played it w the intent to see if i could nuzlocke it ... bitch its so hard but its so fun bc of it), briefly assassins creed: odyssey (im one of those ppl who completes an entire region before i move to the next so you can tell i burned out of that one + wouldnt have the time to properly devote to it even if i didnt), got back into genshin impactĀ after pulling for xiao (after not touching it for like . months), and danganronpa. yes . danganronpa šŸ˜ i Know. i stopped playing it after the second trial of the first game bc i was so hurt by the outcome and picked it up in late january only to get sucked in (thank god i had the foresight to buy the second and third games during the steam winter sale). rn im at the start of chapter 4 if anyone wants to come in my asks and um . talk to me abt danganronpa
tl;dr: Iā€™m Into Danganronpa Now
iii. you realize halloween was three months ago right
i mentioned this in the first section, but i love to plot things. every request is plotted or at least has a solid foundation. i had fun detailing what concept i wanted to go with considering what i was given, and there were some bangers i might touch up in the future. but heres whats going to happen to the requests themselves:
there are two finished requests. one will be posted tomorrow and the other will be touched up (just bc i finished it doesnt mean its good šŸ§ā€ā™‚ļø) and scheduled for next saturday. as for the ones i never got around to ...
i will notĀ be finishing those requests. i hate to be That Person, but i feel like we all expected this šŸ§ā€ā™‚ļø what i willĀ do is post all of my notes for each request in batches -- requests that have an @ to go with them will be mentioned in the post proper, but anon asks will be pictured. (there are some asks that came from blogs who are now deactivated but i wrote down all the prompts and remember most of those askers so ill cross that bridge when i get there) there will most likely be an excerpt or two simply bc i think i mightve written a few plot points or interactions in the form of bullet points. i rlly am sorry about doing this but i remember looking at my notion doc with all the prompts and feeling ... like i wasnt measuring up n it wasnt just to myself or to some intangible concept ofĀ ā€œotherā€ id constructed but it was instead to those who requested n actually WANTED to see and hear and read my writing and i ...... im gonna admit thats another big reason i avoided this site.
regardless, youll definitely get what i have (and likely more than just my bullet points and illegible handwriting).
tl;dr: im sorry. what i have in terms of plot, concept, and interaction for every request will be posted, but i cant say ill ever complete them and mean it.
iv. so what now?
well i mean . im not entirely sure how sold i am on haikyuu in the content creation department (as a creator n to a lesser extent, as a consumer). as mentioned previously, its no longer my primary focus. it doesnt mean im notĀ into haikyuu anymore; i have a lot of love for those boys but i cant rlly say im even caught up w recent fandom activity and also havent even finished s4 pt2 LMAO thats on my to do list
and despite all that, i still want to share my plots n concepts and snippets and maybe even fics. it wont happen anytime soon. it might not even happen. but i mean . its better than me saying i wont write ever again shjdkfs but either way ill probably use this blog as a personal blog w the occasional ask game for dialogue prompts (those are always so fun i love making up aus to fit like . the most mundane prompts)
as for my works (past and any potential future), ive opened an ao3 acc hereĀ n ill be editing n possibly expanding on my old works to post there. tumblr, to me, is The x reader hub, but i figure more x reader fics on ao3 is never a bad thing.
ill be deleting/posting drafted posts to the queue since they were all meant to be queued anyway as well as (sorry again šŸ§ā€ā™‚ļø) deleting or answering asks in the inbox. (moots if you get a notif from me saying i rbed your post from months ago ... mind your business) im very hard to get ahold of and its ... a problem. expect an overhaul of the nav n shit to reflect my new direction n also because i feel like i cant tell if my passion for carrd is shared by the majority HSDKLFS maybe its better to read my info in a normal post ykwim .......
and of course . if youve read all this n decided im no longer worth the follow, i sure as hell cant stop you. thank you for wanting to, at some point, hear what i have to say -- it means more than you think.
tl;dr: writing will be edited and reposted to ao3, this blog will be a personal blog with a hint of writing (sometimes)
Tumblr media
the tl;dr to end all tl;drs:
im back! i wont be as active as i used to due to a lessened interest in haikyuu in general, but i have an ao3 acc now where all my past work will be edited, possibly expanded, and reposted. any future work will also find itself there. my halloween requests will be posted in batches as incomplete concepts, plots, and snippets of scenes; i wont be promising to finish any of them.
there are still fic concepts im attached to and want to finish, but i cant promise any more writing on my end. this blog will be a personal blog with maybeĀ writing, not a writing blog with my personal thoughts all over it.
regardless if you stick around or not, its been crazy sexy cool (equal emphasis) being on haikyuu tumblr even tho i wasnt around for long ... even tho its not my main focus anymore, im still excited to see what the future might hold šŸ¤
love, ari šŸ’Œ

fanfic writer tag game <3
helloooo <3 thank u for tagging me @hannie-dul-set this is so cute lol
ummmm! i think i will tag. @leejuyeeon and @seokmingiggles !! and as always anyone else who wants to <33
peum ~
1. what fandoms have you written for (but do not currently)?
omg lets see if i can do this in order. i think the first fandom i ever wrote fanfic for was creepypasta LMAOO and then... fairy tail? then 5 seconds of summer, then maybe it 2017?? voltron legendary defender, detroit become human, monster prom and mystic messenger kind of overlapped, the arcana !!! then my hero academia, haikyuu, a Little bit of demon slayer... i think thats it lol
2. what fandoms are you currently writing for?
seventeen is all for rn, but iā€™m thinking of also writing for mha again and adding jjk!!
3. how long have you been writing?
oh wow for like... probably around 6 years? maybe 6 and a half
4. on which platforms do you post your stories?
rn just tumblr, i used to post more actively on ao3 but i havent since i started writing for kpop
5. what is your favourite genre to write?
ahhh like !!! comfort fics!!! i think theres something really sweet in those unspoken feelings during moments you think youā€™ll never forget... the idea of being with someone and youā€™re just so sure theyā€™re your favorite person, and then warmth that comes with that realization... wahh
6. are you a pantser or a planner?
oh it depends i think. for longer fics i like to plan them out, but i really wing it with like timestamps or shorter ones
7. one shot or multi-chapter?
ONE SHOTS. my god i fucking suck at multi-chapter shit LMAOO ive only done 1 series like that and it was so rough for me lol
8. what is the perfect chapter length in your opinion?
hm how do i explain this... anything that makes sense? however long it takes for it to feel like the chapter/fic is summed up or completed. i used to worry about word counts a lot but now i rarely pay attention to them, both in reading and writing
9. what is your longest published story? is it complete?
if weā€™re talking about multi-chaptered, then the color of you wins at 17k !! in terms of one shots, itā€™s for now; forever at 9k!
10. which story did you enjoy working on the most?
oh boy. i think... anything from the last like. 8 months? my svt stuff for sure!! i went a while without writing in between like january-late november 2020, and i was worried that my writing would suffer a lot... it took a sec for me to get back into the groove of things but iā€™m feeling happier than ever with the stuff i write now. i feel like ive matured about the way i approach my own writing and ideas, and how i do everything, and my fics make me really proud. ive started writing within different aus that i hadnt touched before, or talking about different feelings or ideas, etc... i really feel like ive grown with this most recent burst lol, and i love working on them! i get so hyped up when im in the middle of writing or even planning, im just so excited to share all of it hehe
11. favorite request you've have written and why (if any?)
ah its been so long since ive worked with requests that i cant remember anything LOL
12. are there reoccurring themes in your stories?
yes. it is comfort and content. it is the feeling of love. it is holding hands on a walk in the middle of spring and smelling flowers. it is the sound of leaves when a gust of wind blows past. it is looking into ur lovers eyes and feeling nothing but pure fondness
13. current number of wips?
fuck like somewhere around 20 probably
14. three things you have noticed about your own writing?
i really like repetition (specifically in sentences if that makes sense??), LOTS of unspoken things (even if i picture a fic with an established relationship, i dont say it within the fic; and especially concerning romantic feelings, i love when things go unsaid and are FELT full force), i think a lot of detailed rambling... i really like to try and describe emotions and stuff in the most abstract and obscure ways lol i feel like it makes things a little more palpable and honest
15. a quote you like from a published story
im gonna do a few. Lol. firstly this long one from pretend people can unlearn:
ā€œAre youā€¦ā€ Jeonghan starts, and when you look at him, his eyes are still on the city in front of you. ā€œAre you ever afraid that weā€™ll fall out of love?ā€
It never occurred to you that this was love. Itā€™s not like the love youā€™ve experienced in the past, not even close. But maybeā€¦ maybe thatā€™s why you never leave, why you hold yourself back from certain arguments like it might fix everything. Maybe love is the reason why Jeonghan still seems to believe in you. Why he promises heā€™ll be the best thing for you despite always breaking that promise.
(Is it love, a voice in your head questions, or is it longing?)
It takes you a while to respond. ā€œI donā€™t know,ā€ you end up saying, because you really donā€™t. Jeonghan turns his head and looks at you, and you half expect him to start an argument in the middle of night, out on the street like this. It wouldnā€™t be the first time. ā€œWould thatā€¦ be okay?ā€
ā€œI donā€™t know,ā€ Jeonghan answers, just like you. His voice is soft. You want to reach for his hand just to hold it. ā€œYouā€™re stillā€¦ā€
He pauses, like heā€™s trying to find the right word. You let him take his time, for once, instead of accusing him of the worst. ā€œIā€™m still?ā€
ā€œEverything,ā€ he tells you. He looks so sad and you reach out for him because itā€™s the only thing you can offer. You think the worst thing about your relationship with Jeonghan is that you will always believe him when he gets like this, just like youā€™ll believe him when he takes it back in the heat of a fight.
next is from like there isnā€™t something missing <3
But youā€™re crying into his chest because itā€™s not you, and itā€™s not him. Seungcheol wonders if it was always meant to be like this, if the two of you were always meant to part or if somethingā€¦ if something just went wrong, somewhere. A bump that did a bit more damage than either of you thought.
He tries not to think about it now. Tears fill his own eyes as he presses a kiss to your hair because he loved you. He truly did.
ā€œI was so lucky to love you,ā€ he murmurs, voice a cracked whisper. ā€œIā€™m so happy I got the chance.ā€
When Seungcheol wakes up the next morning in an empty bed, heā€™s not surprised. But the Post-It note thatā€™s dressed in your handwritingā€¦
Well. Itā€™s over.
and this last one from only for you, i will dance !!
ā€œThis will always be our own time,ā€ he says. ā€œWeā€™ll meet here.ā€
You know. He says it every time. It never fails to make your heart soar.
ā€œOur thirteenth month,ā€ you say, just like every time. Chan smiles.
He kisses you so strong you feel yourself falling.
16. a quote from an unpublished story
ahh ok ill do a few here too!!! one is something ive begun writing, the other is one that iā€™ve just been working on planning out <3
Smoke blows past somebody elseā€™s lips and partially obstructs Wonwooā€™s view of you.
He hasnā€™t been to a party like this in a long time. Itā€™s elegant, more of a gala than anything. He canā€™t remember who threw it or for what reason. It doesnā€™t really matter, he supposes, watching you make conversation with the partygoers. They all have old money to throw around, the symbolism stitched into their suit jackets and red-rimmed heels; remnants of it left on tables and in the contents of expensive cigars.
You play them like you are one of them, tell them the right things with a silver tongue. Wonwoo always watches, plays the part of an observer. Itā€™s impressive, the way you float around the room like itā€™s nothing.
Wonwoo observes; Wonwoo knows things.
and the second one...
"you don't know me," you respond. your voice carries no bite, just a fact, and joshua knows this
"i want to," he says after a second. "if you'll let me."
and he's asking permission to be your friend, to be close to you, something so tender and strangely polite
it makes you feel almost sad
"don't expect too much," you say, a little teasing. joshua only smiles
17. space for you to say something to your readers
wahhh thank you all so much!!! when i first got into writing for kpop it was a lot different mostly because i think... i was writing stuff for different anime before, and i had built up a big following because of that and my works always did like, really exceptional in terms of notes and feedback and such, and getting into kpop... has been rough on that end šŸ’€ but i appreciate your support thus far, even if itā€™s small... iā€™m still working towards a standard that i have for myself!!! so please be patient with me, thank you for the support !!
also please find it in yourself to leave lil comments or any sort of feedback... please..... PLEASE... any creator ever understands this struggle please always try to do this!!! for me and for any other creator you follow and enjoy content from <333

Hey so I was wondering if you did/could do an analysis on clouds various panic attacks ptsd episodes and how he responds to each one Iā€™m interested to read your thoughts on each one since you usually bring a new perspective to the table for me so thanks for that!
All of Cloud's ptsd attacks? Damn, that's a lot of searching I've got to do. I might not find them all. I'll do my best but you'll have to let me off if I miss a couple lol
Ok, spoiler warning for ppl who havenā€™t played ā€“ do I still need to do this? Eh ok, (I tag FF7R spoilers as final fantasy 7 remake spoilers) and itā€™s gonna be long.
Also, this is one personā€™s interpretation of the scene, so if you disagree thatā€™s cool and weā€™ll agree to disagree.
Youā€™re also gonna have to excuse the janky quality on some of the screens, Iā€™m grabbing them from Youtube and itā€™s frustrating af trying to get the exact moment I want.
Please check my master post to see if I've already covered your question, thanx
Recap time!
I explain Cloud's entire backstory which covers his PTSD and other issues here, so that should do for a recap right?
A further thing to note is that PTSD affects people differently and in Cloud's case it manifests as a psychological taunt in the form of Sephiroth. Embodiying his sense of failure, lack of self-esteem and self-actualisation, this version of Sephiroth is the one that Cloud reacts to the most strongly. This is the one that makes him whimper with fear and react on instinct instead of observing the situation and attacking. This is the one he fears, and it's a part of himself wearing a monster's face. Why Sephiroth? Who else has done him more harm? Sephiroth killed his mother, Tifa (so he assumes), burned his hometown to the ground and was indirectly responsible for his best friend's death, too.
And Cloud couldn't do a thing about it. He is the manifestation of everything that Cloud hates and fears about himself. Because of this, he's dissociated from much of his feelings. He still feels, but at a lesser degree than he should were he fully in touch with his real self.
Moseying on.
Tumblr media
The first PTSD induced attack isn't actually prompted by Sephiroth himself, although he does feature in it. Cloud's first attack happens when he sees the destruction of sector 8 and buildings burning. This gives him the association of the last time he saw a burning building, which happened when his village burned. The sensory input of sights, sounds and smells prompted the memory, which combined with the high stress situation and Cloud's own latent anxiety and guilt for his part in this chaos.
You see a close up of Cloud's eye as it widens and real!Cloud's memory pushes to the forefront of his mind ā€“ remember, these memories are things SOLDIER!Cloud can't access at will, which is why they cause him pain when it happens.
Theres a static noise in the background, which is meant to convey a type of ringing in Cloud's ears and then the building's facade morphs to that of his house with the fence around it.
Tumblr media
While much of what Sephiroth says is in line with this being a separate being from Cloud and not merely his own subconscious taunting him, there are elements of it being a combination of both. This is in line with the OG where Sephiroth was able to get in Cloud's head and make him doubt his own sense of self. With what we know of how Jenova's cells manipulate Cloud, it's believable that Sephiroth is both a separate being manipulating Cloud to his own ends and partly an aspect of Cloud's psyche that exists to push blame on him for everything. It's the representation of his mental illness that he struggles to fight.
Obviously, there's no fire, so Cloud sweating and breathless is because they're physical symptoms of his PTSD induced trauma.
Sephiroth's taunting lines about how he killed Cloud's mother are overkill when you consider the real Sephiroth's personality. The combination of the overarching Sephiroth and Cloud's PTSD version make a powerful foe that he never really beats. This is a metaphor for the fact those with mental illness are never really free. It's a lifetime battle and even if they're in recovery, that demon is just waiting for one weak moment when they can get them back in their grip.
Tumblr media
You can hear Cloud gasp in this scene as once again Sephiroth appears to taunt him. He's not fully recovered from the last attack and now there's another right on top of it. Sephiroth appearing is once again partly Cloud's own trauma and partly the Jenova cells in him warping his perception and allowing Sephiroth to mess with him.
Unlike the time before, this Sephiroth vision is a simple taunt that Cloud is too weak to save anyone. This is his guilt and self-loathing talking about how he couldn't save his mom, Tifa or his town. It could also be hinting that he couldn't save Zack either.
The hidden implication of this scene is the fact that Sephiroth puts his hand on Aerith's shoulder. This is the only time Sephiroth touches anyone besides Cloud.
Tumblr media
The next time Cloud has an attack is during the reactor 5 mission. This happens because of Tifa's presence drawing out the painful memory of the Nibelheim reactor where he believed she died after facing down Sephiroth.
Even in the midst of his PTSD attack he looks to Tifa. She doesn't know what's happening with him and he backs away from taking a chance to confide in her, but even during this moment when he's showing weakness he has very good eye contact with her. He's looking her directly in the eye, which he wouldn't do if he wasn't comfortable with her. This shows that Cloud sees her as a source of comfort and support.
Tumblr media
You can see the lingering doubt on his face here after he dismisses the attack. He's not aware of what the memory means because he's not in touch with the full story ā€“ that belongs to real!Cloud kept hidden away. He knows it's left him unsettled and feeling like a failure. This is one of the few times I've seen that Cloud doesn't dismiss out of hand the content of the attacks.
Tumblr media
Tifa repeats a phrase she said back then and Cloud's sense of failure surfaces, causing him pain and to freeze up. We get a voice over from real!Cloud referring to the time he believes he let Tifa down. Before the SOLDIER persona can get too deep into it or question what he means, Barret yells for him to focus. Cloud shakes off the paralysing feelings, but that doesn't stop Tifa asking it he's ok, which he dismisses again. This is typical of truama survivors pushing their feelings down and attempting to function without ever truly dealing with the source of their pain.
Tumblr media
This next flash is prompted by the events during chapter 8 where the children get into trouble and Cloud has to rescue them. It echoes a similar even in his past where Tifa climbed Mt Nibel and fell, despite his best efforts to save her. She spent a week in a coma and Cloud was blamed for the incident and told to stay away from her.
The past emotions of guilt and failure mingle with the present situation to prompt a flash of pain as the memory of Tifa surfaces. It's his feelings of guilt and having failed her that cause the pain, not Tifa herself because when he says to Aerith he doesn't know how to explain he turns to the spot where he saw the vision of Tifa and smiles wistfully. This means Tifa herself doesn't cause him pain. The feelings he has about himself, do.
Tumblr media
Chapter 13 and omg I love this freak out! I'm sorry, but this is such a great moment for Cloud and really highlights how low he is at this point. This shows the depth that we miss from him always having his SOLDIER persona taking charge. He's just lived through a tragedy. He's seen the girl he likes in pieces and trying to hold it together. He wants to comfort her. He wants to be himself, but he can't because he's just not good enough. He's feeling like a failure in more ways than one. He lost people too, goddamnit!
Then, in a misguided attempt to distract Tifa from her pain, he stumbles right into a trigger point for his own trauma. Of course he wouldn't know this. It's one of those flashes of Sephiroth ranting about his role and Jenova and shit. (I might have mistakenly said this was a future-flash somewhere, but then I remembered he does this rant right before he kills everyone in Nibelheim).
There's very little blocking to the memory. This is pretty well sealed by real!Cloud compared to his other memories. Even painful ones of Tifa have more context than this. This is something that is so damaging to Cloud's psyche that he can't even fill in the space around it.
So, we get the same kind of staticky noise we heard in chapter 2 when the vision of Sephiroth showed. Cloud gasps pretty loud here tbf. He's unguarded because of the vision and possibly his own distraction about what he's just been through. He wasn't prepared to see Sephiroth here even more than he was back in chapter 2 when he had a full on panic attack.
I mean, his pupils are seriously dilated here. Boi is scared.
Tumblr media
Cloud's whimpering and my heart breaks for him. Sephiroth is hitting all his weakest points by bringing up failure and mentioning it's not the first time that's happened. Cloud's at a low point already, so it's not unexpected he backs away from this rather than tries to fight. This isn't SOLDIER!Cloud. This is real!Cloud. The fear has driven real!Cloud to the surface and he wants to run away, just like Sephiroth taunted back in chapter 2.
Tumblr media
ā€œThrough suffering you will grow strong. Isn't that what you want?ā€
Clearly not by the look on Cloud's face. The part of him that's real!Cloud within this moment looks like he wants to scream that he's had enough of being in pain. He wants to shake his head and deny that he deserves it. What did he ever do wrong?
I feel like this is more of Cloud's own subconscious taunting him and implying that he deserves everything bad that happens to him, rather than it being the external Sephiroth manipulating Jenova's cells. He's saying Cloud secretly wants to suffer because that's all he should ever get in life. He thinks if he suffers enough pain that he'll be stronger for it, instead of the broken person that he really is. This is the type of thing people whoā€™ve lived through trauma deal with every single day. Itā€™s a never ending barrage of not feeling good enough and worrying that your entire existence is a bother to society. Not even just those close to you, you are a blight on the world. That Cloudā€™s internal trauma is so deeply rooted in this figure of Sephiroth narrows his focus and makes him project all of his fears onto him. Itā€™s no wonder he freezes.
Tumblr media
Now, not strictly a PTSD glitch, but it does provoke a very strong reaction from Cloud, and definitely plays into his fears, so I'm gonna include this one on the proviso it's more fear motivated.
This is the moment he sees Tifa stabbed during the VR cut scene. Sephiroth hijacked it to show them meteor, but then he also killed Tifa and then Barret. We know later on that Barret actually dies, so having seen this, Cloud may well relate back to this deep seated fear that he can't save Tifa and she'll die because of him and it'll cause further attacks. This is also a callback to the time in the reactor in Nibelheim when Tifa was stabbed by Sephiroth and Cloud couldn't save her ā€“ this ties to the PTSD flashback he had during the reactor 5 mission where he saw Tifa picking up Sephiroth's sword, so it's got precedence to cause him further trauma once he connects the dots. The fact it provokes such a strong emotional response from him ā€“ so much so that his entire face changes ā€“ I suspect that real!Cloud came out to motivate him to run to her out of the fear he'd just seen her die in front of him ā€“ again. The shock and disbelief on his face, the utter heartbreak. His expression changes from SOLDIER!Cloud to real!Cloud in less than 3 seconds. I checked. As a trigger for his trauma, Cloud's fear of losing Tifa pushes him to a lot of things he wouldn't normally do.
Tumblr media
This is more of a memory glitch than PTSD since it's tied to the grunt recognising Cloud and calling him out on the false memories he has of being a SOLDIER. He says they went through training together and Cloud's eyes narrow as though he's trying to reconcile a truth against a lie. The truth that real!Cloud was a grunt and SOLDIER!Cloud is a fake.
There's some distress on his face here that links back to the point during the airbuster battle when he first learned about cell degradation. He knows what he believes is true isn't quite right, but he can't figure out why. SOLDIER!Cloud is unaware of the SOLDIER persona he constructed to protect his real self from further trauma. In OG when Cloud finds out ā€“ through Sephirothā€™s skewed af bullshit ā€“ it causes a complete mental break, so real!Cloud's right to be wary of triggering himself because he's not in a good enough place to deal with what he's done to protect himself. He'd blame himself for being even more weak than he thought.
Tumblr media
This is more interesting. Usually whenever anyone questions Cloud about his false identity he claims it, while also rejecting it by saying ā€œex-SOLDIERā€, but in Hojo's case, he seems to hesitate, as though part of him knew it would be questioned and wouldn't hold up. Since Hojo's the one who did this to Cloud, it's likely the truth of what happened couldn't be kept back by the SOLDIER lies.
Tumblr media
Pained again, Cloud turns his head away, as though he can shut out the truth. Hojo's image glitches for him and it's reminiscent of the OG moment where Cloud confronts Hojo and asks if he can be a proper experiment instead of a failed one (or something like that. I haven't played OG in like 5 years)
The trauma from what Hojo's done is quickly brushed under the carpet thanks to the arrival of the whispers. This is the second time they appear to prevent Cloud learning too much about his past too early. (Dammit, I forgot about deep ground, I'll circle back to it or I'll lose the order for my screenshots)
Tumblr media
I'm not including the long corridor walk prompted by Jenova because that's a loading screen and also it happens not because of anything that Cloud experienced in the location, but because the outside influence of Jenova called to him. His only association with Jenova is the infusion of cells, though how he got them does set off attacks. Actually, here's a good point for the deep ground screen.
Preview of zombie Cloud for Mideel anyone? I mean, what can I say? He's totally checked out and it's scary. No wonder he doesn't wanna remember any of it if this is what he was like at the time. Imagine being so doped up with mako that you're not even you any longer? Having experiments carried out on you and god knows what else. Being stuffed in a chamber jammed full of alien dna and left to see what happens.
This is what broke him. I'd say it's similar to the faceless Squall cut scene from the end of FF8. It's chilling. No wonder he crafted an entire persona to protect himself from remembering this.
Tumblr media
So this is the culmination of all the other attacks he's had. We get flashback elements from several that threaten to overwhelm Cloud. He's clutching his head. He's in serious pain and can't do anything. He manages to push through and ask if it's really Sephiroth. He then grabs his left arm when it begins to hurt. This is because Sephiroth is left handed. This is also the same arm that had the major infection of geostigma in AC.
Conclusion
Cloud is a messed by puppy and I ship him with therapy.
PTSD is a tricky thing to accurately show, especially in this case when it's not all totally mental illness and there are outside factors that skew how it's portrayed. Part of Sephiroth is within Cloud, though I do suspect it's more of an aspect of his own feelings of self-loating and doubt than it is actually Sephiroth. That's not to say there isn't also a genuine part of Sephiroth within these visions influencing Cloud to do what he wants, but I think it comes down to the context of the moment.
Cloud's been through a lot of shit and fronts like nothing else. He's managed to get away without any kind of vices or coping mechanisms besides this alternate persona that actually does ok in following the real!Cloud's lead when his deeper urges motivate SOLDIER!Cloud into doing things. I mean there's a point where there's a clear debate between the two about dancing for Andrea. All that back and forth eye movement and then the grimace and ā€œfine, for Tifaā€ expression wasn't necessary if it was just SOLDIER!Cloud.
It's gonna be hard for Cloud to hear that he's not real in the sense that he thinks he is. It's gonna break him. We've got a preview of his scary vacant Mideel look and it's terrifying. Major props to Tifa for refusing to give up on him.

rules: answer the questions and tag people youā€™d like to get to know better.
i was tagged by @ena-noya11 and yes this is old but ive been busy with uni and am not gonna miss a chance to rant about myself. but i wont tag anyone, just if you see this do it bc wtf not???
What do you perfer to be called name-wise?
jess, always jess. i cant remember the last time anyone called me jessica. although some people do call me moon which is cute
When is your birthday?
september 23rd
Where do you live?
im as british as they come
Three things you are doing right now:
let me see...im procrastinating from doing my dry lab work bc i cant go back into labs, im listening to my lovely new side m boys (rn its infinite possibilities by s.e.m, who lowkey may be my faves) and im knitting a jumper
Four fandoms that have piqued your interest?
1. atm defo hypmic. cant wait for the 3rd drb release to drop, in need hq black journey
2. also defo defo sk8 i really cant get enough of these skateboard gays, and ive ventured into ao3 and i dont regret it at allĀ 
3. again, idolmaster side m (can you tell i like the 2d idols) i just binged the anime after finishing a uni project and the music is absolute fire i would sell my soul for all of them
4. i hate to say it but the promised neverland, bc the first season was so good and now ive picked up the manga, and personally every single situation ive headcannoned is better than what this season is giving me
How has the pandemic been treating you?
idk really?? like day to day it doesnā€™t feel that bad, but i feel like it isnā€™t helping me at all. this is my 4th year of uni which was supposed to be very lab heavy which hasnā€™t happened, and being away has really dropped my confidence in being able to actually do science. and as a shy person itā€™s just giving me an excuse to be distant and keep to myself which isnā€™t good bc i know i need to make an effort to be social. but at least ive been able to spend lots of time with my family which is great bc 3 years of uni has really taught me how much i miss them when im away
but it gave me the perfect opportunity to get into anime which is great bc as a person that in the past hyperfixates and jumps between fandoms, something tells me this is gonna stick
A song you canā€™t stop listening to right now?
KAIGEN by badass temple. no joke it slaps. as of rn i want them to win the drb, just bc of how hard that song goes
How old are you?
22. fuck im 22, 23 this year. it feels like i only just turned 18, how am i supposed to be an adult now
School, univerisity, occupation, other?
uni, im in my 4th masters year doing biochem (and genetics), although all im studying this year is plants plants plantsĀ 
Do you prefer heat or cold?
cold. defo cold. i dont mind the summer but ever since i got heatstroke a couple of years ago in a very very hot paris, ive been scarred
Name one fact others may not know about you.
i love love love watching costube, it is my gig. id love to be able to sew properly and make my own clothes
Are you shy?
definately. unless you are my family, i dont know how to act around you
Pronouns?
she/her
Biggest pet peeves?
people just not being concious of the fact that the world exists kinda?? like people that are just too preocupied with themselves. like its not that hard to just do a helpful job for someone. and you can be completely selfish about it, bc itll make you feel good to help someone else. just be nice.
What is your favorite ā€œdereā€ type?
lol lowkey i love a bakadere, but only if theyre done well
Rate your life from 1-10, 1 being crappy and 10 being the best it could be.
probably 8, maybe even a 9. i have the best family, and im doing well at uni. i can just hang out, watch anime, do some work, do some crochet or knitting. i have lots of stuff to so and that i want to do which always feels great. but im also right at that turning point where im about to leave uni and have to figure out what my life is gonna be like which is terrifying, and im also at that point where i feel like my entire life revolves around uni work which kinda sucks bc theres other stuff i want to do, like learn to sew, or learn a language, that i just dont have time for. but honestly, i wouldnt have it any other way
Whatā€™s your main blog?
youre on it
List your side blogs and what theyā€™re used for.
none. i dont have time or the mental capacity to cope with side blogs. this is just the mess of content and stream of concious rants you get
Is there something people need to know about you before becoming friends?
i SUCK at communicating. like i actively dislike communicating unless it is a 1 on 1 face to face conversation. so if i dont message you, it doesnt mean i hate you. i just suck at keeping in contact with people, and am working on it. so please just talk to me, bc ill never not want to talk
lol if you got to the end thanks and see yaĀ

A high school confession
AN: This is an experiment might make a bigger thing bout of this also its time for some fluff
ā€œTry not to embarrass yourself.ā€ Stated Mab as I left the Castle.
Same old bs, never a ā€˜good luckā€™, or, ā€˜do your best.ā€™ Always about the kingdom and my eventual inheritance, I will rule the Ice court, I will make descions that will affect millions of people. Knights will depend on me, servants will want guidance. Other courts will want to challenge me. Seemsā€¦. A lot for someone like me. A teenage fairy, but it is the life I have to lead once i graduate. But thats not till a long time down the road at least a year.Ā 
I got on the carriage and we went to the human world, to the high school I attend.
Ā The carriage pulled up to Fallbrook high school, not too bad of a school. I mean we have our bully issues and teachers donā€™t really care but we donā€™t have to worry about Gangs. The leaders of the nevenever make sure of that. It's a red brick building with a flagpole in the middle.When I got out of the carriage, I was greeted by a red haired boy. A summer fairy but a treasured one.
ā€œHey ice boy. Have you seen the princess?ā€
My nerves were instantly shot, ā€œDo you not know where she is?ā€
ā€œIā€¦ I saw her at breakfast but then i heard a welp and she vanished.ā€
Son of a bitch!!
I bolted straight into the building, people moving out of my way as I bulldoze into hall, Puck going after me.
ā€œIce boy! Slow down! You donā€™t know if shes in trouble!ā€
But I did, i knew exactly what happened. I knew that she was hurting her. I swer this time Iā€™ll kill that freak!
My heart was beating faster then I thought it ever could, why am I reacting this way? Its not like this is the first time its happened. But I could barely keep track of her glamour, It was getting weaker and weaker. Gods no, please if there is any beings of higher power out there protect her. Please protect herā€¦
Sure enough As i turned to the gym, a Black teeanger had blonde teenager in a choke hold. The blonde teeanger had tears forming in her eyes, my rage erupting like a volcano. My ice glamour exploded freezing everything around The black teeanger, she stepped on ice and fell on her butt letting the blonde go.
ā€œMeghan!ā€ I shouted and rushed towards her.
Meghan fell to the ground and I caught her, i scooped up her fragile body in my arms.
ā€œMeghan! Talk to me!ā€
I heard a growl from behind me and Puck sheriked as I felt a fist lunge at me.
I tanked the blow,Ā  everyone told me stories bout Tyras monster strength. Gangers wonā€™t mess with her cause of how scary she is. But she didnā€™t impress me, her punch hurt but it was nothing I havenā€™t handled before. I shot an ice spike to get her to jump in the air. Tyra landed gracecfully on the ground.
ā€œIā€™ve had enough of you getting in my way of beating retard!ā€ Tyra snarled.
I told Puck to come over he did, I handed him Meghan and told the two to get out of here. They left. But by this point a crowd had gathered.
ā€œTyras gonna fight the ice prince!ā€ Said a student.
ā€œNo, Tyras gona destory the ice prince. No one can handle Tyra.ā€ Said a teacher.
Tyra cracked her knuckles grinning, ā€œIā€™ve been looking forward to this, youre hot but youre too nice. Im going to fix that.ā€
ā€œIs that right?ā€ I smirked.
I slowly walked around, in a slow mocking matter. Bending my knee, her brown eyes glaring at me. People asked what I was doing, I walked around her slowly. Finally she shouted and lunged
I blocked her punch and pushed her off me, I did not strike her. She got ready for another punch, and she went through with her attack, this time she missed. I leaned out of the way, Tyra tried to bear hug me but I slide under her.Ā 
ā€œFIGHT ME!!ā€ Tyra roared.
Suddenly an ice blast froze Tyra solid, I looked around and there was the principle. He glared at me.
ā€œMr. Johnson?ā€ I asked surprised.
ā€œWhat happened young man!ā€ Mr. Johnson snapped.
ā€œTyra attacked Meghan Chase sir,ā€I replied, ā€œI was defending my friend.ā€
Mr Johnson was trained by my mom to use Ice glamour, he takes no crap from any of the students and hes very strict. He puffed and singled for a cop.
ā€œTake Miss Tyra away she will be expelled if Ash isā€¦ā€
Suddenly Mr. Johnsonā€™s phone rang, it was the nurse.
ā€œWhat is it miss bells?ā€
ā€œWhat? Miss Chase is unconscious?ā€
Everyone gulped.
ā€œEveryone get to class! NOW!ā€
We all scattered.
I went straight to home room, I was sure I was going to get jumped Tyra was very popular. I know people were going to be pissed. In fact I got sneers and glares as I walked through the halls. I expected someone to try and deck me.
But I was greeted by Puck, who looked sad.
ā€œHey, how is she?ā€
ā€œShe wonā€™t wake up ice boy. They called in an ambulance.ā€
Darn it!
I patted Pucks shoulder, ā€œSheā€™s been through hell before, sheā€™ll get out again.ā€
Puck touched my hand and smiled at me, ā€œYoure right.ā€
We both sat down, and class started. It seemed like nothing changed, Meghan was gone but no one seemed to care. Meghan was a huge part of all of our classes too. The teacher didnā€™t seem to notice that no one was answering questions besides me. Its normally me and Meghan.
ā€œThe left index.ā€ I answered.
ā€œVery good Ash.ā€ The teacher replied.
A student laughed, ā€œMan, I canā€™t believe that rere was holding Ash back.ā€
Bile rose in my throat, Meghan has had mental illnesses for as long as I remember. Its been the number one reason for her being bullied.
ā€œMeghan wasnā€™t holding back anything I-ā€
ā€œRere!ā€ The student snapped, ā€œGods how long have you been here? Learn the terminology fairy!ā€
ā€œMeghan is not a ā€˜rereā€™ or whatever you call her. She's just as important to this class as I am.ā€
ā€œUgh, what is she? your girlfriend or something??ā€ The student yelled
Everyone gasped like he just dropped an F bomb.
The teacher jumped in, ā€œAnthony leave Ash alone. Theres no way he would date Miss chase. Now lets get back to the lesson.ā€
The class went on without a hitch though that accusation never left my mind.
What is she? Your girlfriend or something?
Did I see Meghan like that? She's been my friend for as long as I remember. She's my best friend. I feel content when shes around, when weā€™re cuddling and I can feel her heartbeat. When weā€™re watching a movie, when Iā€™m fighting off bullies for her. I even defied my mom to be her friend, it was the one argument I ever won against my mom. Even as a king I will never abandon Meghan, Iā€™ll run away from the throne if I have to I-
Oh. I am in love with her.
The class ended and I was called to the nurseā€™s office. I power walked there, my heart racing as I opened the doorā€¦
ā€œYouā€™re late.ā€ Greeted Meghan.
The smile ran across my face before I realized it, ā€œIt took forever to get out of class.ā€
She opened her arms and I took her in mine.
ā€œWhen Tyra grabbed me that timeā€¦.I thought it was over.ā€ She sobbed.
ā€œI took care of it. Shes expelled.ā€
ā€œIsnā€™t that only going to make things worse?ā€ Meghan asked.
ā€œNope.ā€ The nurse shook her head, ā€œThe students have gotten a clear warning. Anything happens to you over her jail will be next. Now, I have lunch to grab, you two stay here.ā€
The nurse left and it was just me and Meghan, my heart going into over drive. I wanted to tell Meghan how I felt. That Iā€™m in love with her, I sat down next to her.
ā€œDid you sleep well last night?ā€ Meghan asked.
I nodded.
ā€œAre you okay?ā€
ā€œIā€¦ I need to tell you something.ā€
Now or Never.
ā€œWhat is it?ā€
I took a deep breathe gathering my thoughts, It was time to face this.
ā€œI love you.ā€
The words didnā€™t register right away, she just said, ā€œhuh?ā€
ā€œI really love you.ā€ I repeated.
Meghan gasped, her eyes smacked with shock. Did I make a mistake?
She looked down, my heart was bout to fall into the depths of hell when she said, ā€œUmā€¦. Can you give me some time to think Ash? After school, meet me at the front gate. Iā€™ll see you then.ā€
Meghan then ran away and I just went to class.
ā€œMan youre lame.ā€ Puck stated.
ā€œShut up Summer shit.ā€ I snarled.
ā€œSeriously that was the best you could come up with? Although Iā€™m honestly shocked this didnā€™t happen sooner.ā€
ā€œWhats that suppose to mean?ā€ I asked.
ā€œIve known you both for bout 5 years and from the moment I met youā€¦ Ive had to deal with the soft stares and cuddling and couple fights. I remember when Tyra first started bullying her, and she cried that no one was going to care if she died. And You got really mad at her and you both started yelling until you screamed ā€˜if you died Iā€™d rip out her heart myselfā€™ and you both stared at each other mouths agape till I had to bring up the newest book coming out.ā€
Puck was right, although it was embarrassing to hear him bring up the past.
ā€œSo, were you joking?ā€
I swatted at him, ā€œOf course I wasnā€™t!ā€
Puck Patted my head, ā€œGood luck lover boy!ā€Ā 
He ran away before I could kill him.
I went to the front gate and Meghan was waiting for me.
ā€œHello Ash.ā€ Meghan Greeted.
ā€œHey, Um, can I have your answer?ā€
My whole life hangs on this.
Meghan smiled softly, ā€œIā€¦ was so happy when you told me. Thank you. But here is the thingā€¦. I canā€™t believe you actually said it. and...Iā€™m wondering if you made a bet with Michael. To see if it would be funnyā€¦. So i have to askā€¦ were you joking?ā€
Tears were forming in her eyes when she asked if I was joking, what exactly do people take me for.
ā€œNo i meant it.ā€
ā€œYouā€¦ do know im not normal right??ā€ Meghan asked shocked, ā€œIā€™m not pretty like the other girls. I like dumb things and I can barely do anything right. And then there is the fact I'm on adhd medication. People will always judge me for that, I just doze off and I get mad quite easily; I annoy people very easilyā€¦. One of my favorite thing bout you is how patient you are with me. Ifā€¦. we start dating that patience will be tested to its limit. Youā€™ll have to deal with that stuff all the time. Iā€¦ donā€™t want to be a pest to you.ā€
This foolishā€¦
ā€œYou arenā€™t a pest Meghan!ā€
Meghan gasped and i kept going.
ā€œHell I love you doing those things, do them all the time. I donā€™t get those anime cartoons you watch nor do I understand shipping and all of that but I want to be with you every step of the way. As for your mental illness I love you, all of you, especially those parts. There's nothing you could do to make me lose my patience in you. Hell, I don't even consider it a test of patience. Being with you is a choice I make. I make it every day, and Iā€™ll keep making it till the end of time.ā€
ā€œAshā€¦.ā€ Meghan gasped, ā€œHas anyone ever told youā€¦ that you're dangerous to a woman's heart.ā€ her face was flushed.
ā€œDo love me Meghan? Cause I canā€™t stand the thought of not being with you. I can do anything but losing you would destroy me.ā€
ā€œYes. I love you, Ash Please be my boyfriend.ā€
I walked towards her, took her face in my hands and kissed her. She coiled her arms around me and I crushed her to me. She was mine, Nothing will ever change that.

WHY I LOVE ZADR!!!
HEY GUYS WHASSUP? LMAO
So this is a whole ass giant long post of me absolutely spewing my feelings of love for ZADR, it was the very first thing I wrote when I made this blog and I think itā€™s a nice, positive thing for my fellow shippers to inhale and enjoy šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘Œ
it was originally a reply to mitarashiartā€™s post about why HE loves ZADR (link in replies) but I decided to delete that and make my own post since MY WHOLE ENTIRE TEXT WALL WAS SHOWN IN THE REPLIES and drowned out anyone else who was trying to talk (thanks tumblr mobile u fuckin idiot)
I had also posted a summary of an AU that Iā€™m working on in the original post, but decided to remove it since it just about doubled the length (Iā€™m thinking about posting it separately along with the wips Iā€™ve been putting together, weā€™ll see šŸ‘€)
But ANYWAY, here is about a million reasons why I think ZADR is the fucking best, so if you like reading gushy gay ship feelings, please enjoy ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
[Posted June 2019][WARNING, LONG ASS THOUGHT BARF]
SOOO, holy hell yā€™all my journey back into this fandom has been a wild and unique experience for me, i went from adding invader zim to my bookmarks on kisscartoon, rewatching the series, finding out theres a movie coming out, finding out there was a shitload of content iā€™d never seen before (commentaries, lost episode scripts and audios, panels, the COMIC, episodes iā€™d never seen because the dvd i used to watch was scratched!! and a FUCKLOAD of quality modern fan art like oh my GOD) and finally curiously googling ā€˜zadrā€™ (which i was way into when i was maybeee 13/14) to see if there was any interesting new art, and holy hell, mita (the artist above) singlehandedly THREW me down the hole into modern zadr hell, first with his absolutely stunning IZ art (all his art is dope tho check him out yo), then reading the above explanation put the final nail in the coffin like, 100%
so i wanted to add onto his post here on why this ship got me so fucked up, both for anyone who might be wondering why on earth iā€™m shipping two characters from a kidā€™s show (iā€™m very aware how weird that is at first glance trust me) and also so i can get some ideas down for possible future reference (will i ever draw them? maybe)
(first of all, a disclaimer, and this is not pleasant to write but itā€™s important to address for clarityā€™s sake: I have no interest in romantic or sexual relationships between minors, and do not ship zim and dib as they are presented canonically in the show (as children). what iā€™m interested in is the conceptualized relationship they may have as modern adults, and i view zadr more as taking the concepts of existing characters and experimenting with them with different interpretations, which i personally think is a constructive and fun creative outlet, especially if these characters hold personal significance for you (childhood faves of course). growing up together is an important facet of their relationship, and certainly they were important to each other even as children (see: mopiness of doom) but as an adult iā€™m personally curious about what kind of adults they mightā€™ve become, and thatā€™s the focus of my interest. iā€™ll still be reblogging regular IZ art because itā€™s dope but if you see shippy looking art of them as tiny lil beans its either friendship or chibis (and i personally headcanon zim as getting taller with dib but some people stick with his canonical height when drawing them as adults, which is super short. it still doesnā€™t mean heā€™s a kid). aaand i wish i didnt have to write this and it would just be obvious but we live in a sick sad world and it is sourced from a childrenā€™s cartoon so i feel its necessary. end of disclaimer)
NOW THAT THATā€™S OUT OF THE WAY
- ok, first reasonā€™s a bit obvious - the nostalgia. holy hell, the feeling of rediscovering a ship that was popular when i was a preteen during the mid 2000s and discovering a totally new perspective on it as an adult comes with an almost totally overwhelming sense of nostalgia and comfort, as well as inspiration!! the kind of art that seems so common for zadr, these sketch pages of scenes and expressions and visual gags where artists would just scribble every idea they had and LOVE doing it, this was exactly the kind of art that made me so passionate about drawing as a kid, and it still sparks such a powerful feeling of love and admiration for me to this day. fan content of iz and zadr is simultaneously achingly familiar and totally new and fascinating, and it just makes me SO damn happy to consume, it is most definitely my new comfort content. and just, GOD. THE ART!! SO GOOD. FUCK
- now for the characters themselves: for some reason i just really love the thought of a mid twenties, modern Dib?? lanky goth dork, disaster bi, depressed as shit, uses bad sweaters and memes to cope?? when i was a kid i didnā€™t even LIKE Dib, but now i totally sympathize with him! heā€™s just a hyper obsessive nerd wishing there was more to life than the situation he got stuck with, how wildly relatable. he was a pretty big asshole as a kid (even to people besides zim) but he was also totally isolated and constantly bullied, so thereā€™s a lot of room for growth. i feel thereā€™s a lot of juicy character development potential for that boy, and thereā€™s always been a special place in my heart for characters who are totally sad and screwed and hopeless, but thereā€™s one thing, or person, that means the world to them and could possibly save themā€¦
- aliens. Zim. i love nonhuman characters, i love monsters, i love aliens, i love characters that donā€™t understand human shit (and thus have much less room for shame or fear bc theyre just totally oblivious the negatives of modern society) and need guidance (bonding!!) from their human. i also love morally grey characters and characters with skewed logic, theyā€™re always really interesting, and Zim himself just has such a unique personality and set of mannerisms, he contradicts himself a lot and you can never quite expect how heā€™ll behave, and i love that in a character, it makes them super versatile and fun, especially since thereā€™s so many different possibilities for their development. Also, Zim is a gremlin, a little shit, and a disaster. I also love those traits in a character. And donā€™t even get me started on his character design?? big sparkly eyes? expressive antennae? monster teeth? complimenting colors? heā€™s adorable.
- mutual obsession. for someone like Dib, who seems almost repulsed by how boring and slow the people around him are, Zim quite literally personifies Dibā€™s Ā escapist fantasies, both as an inhuman entity from beyond the stars, and as a person whoā€™s knowledge, charisma and mystery far exceeds that of anyone Dib has met in his entire life. (so basically what iā€™m saying is that for a shunned, jaded misanthropist, an actual alien is terribly alluring, even if said alien is dangerous, stupid, and possibly insane). not to mention Zim vindicates Dibā€™s entire life passion, the supernatural! Even when their relationship is totally negative, there is not a single inch of room for Dib to get tired of Zim. as mita explained, they validate each other. for Zim, WHO AGAIN, IS TOTALLY SHUNNED, ISOLATED, AND HATED BY EVERYONE HE KNOWS, Dib is the only person in the universe who gives a single shit about him!! he gives Zim credit as a threat, a capable invader, which if you ask me is the sole thing Zim is after (heā€™s hellbent on his mission because it would win him the approval of the tallest, all heā€™s ever wanted is recognition from the people he thinks so highly of). He literally gets depressed when Dib isnā€™t around to pay attention to him, not even the tallest were enough to motivate him before Dib came back. these two have no one and nothing without each other, and while lifelong nemeses is fine and dandy, i personally prefer friendship, affection and love, cause iā€™m a softie like that. how could they possibly get there after years of actively trying to kill each other?? well, i think under just the right circumstances it could become a possibility after a long, long time.
- growth. i. love. me. some. good. character growth. especially for characters with trauma/mental illness, bc again, relatable. these boys have issues, and as mita mentioned, their canon stories are actually INCREDIBLY sad! but the happy thought is, they could recover! they could help each other recover, for little reason other than the two are the only source of happiness for each other. now of course this also opens the gate for angst lovers, but at the same time offers potential for comforting, uplifting content of the boys supporting and inspiring each other, maybe even to the point of becoming happy and healthy enough to create the lives they want for themselves (as in appreciating life and doing things that make them actually happy instead of the delusions of grandeur they both sought when they were younger). gimme that positive shit and let the poor beans be happy Ā Ń‰(ą² ē›Šą² Ń‰)
- LITTLE THINGS. LITTLE THINGS THAT ONLY COME WITH CHILDHOOD FRIENDS. WITH HUMAN/NONHUMAN. WITH THE SHOWā€™S WEIRD LOGIC. Zim being the person Dib knows best and vice versa. Zim having an involuntary respect/admiration for Dib because heā€™s tall. Learning each otherā€™s needs, limits, and communication methods, both emotionally and biologically. Sensitive antennae. Affectionate bickering. Being less insecure bc your partner literally has no idea why you see your flaws as flaws. Laughing at the flaws they do notice because they make no sense. Zim only wanting to eat waffles and chow mein. Dib being forced to overcome his depression lethargy and stay hygienic/keep the apartment clean because Zim has a sharper sense of smell and is afraid of germs. Endless conversation about anything and everything because theyā€™re from literally different worlds, and endless intrigue. TOUCHING. TALKING. DOING EVERYTHING LIKE ITS THE VERY FIRST TIME AND ALWAYS NEEDING THE OTHER TO GUIDE THEM. HOLY HELL THERE IS SO MUCH POSSIBILITY FOR TINY LITTLE MOMENTS THAT MEAN THE WORLD. FUCK. GOT ME FUCKED UP.
so that wraps up the why. fuck man. its just such a good ship. if you read this big ass text post, thank you for indulging me, i hope you enjoyed it! because i enjoy it very much šŸ‘€ so stick around if youā€™d like to for a shit load of IZ and zadr content on this blog, possibly (MAYBE) even from me!! come roll around in alien hell with me why dontcha į••( į› )į•— its a fun time! thanks for reading!!!
-
SO THATā€™S MY MANIFESTO Yā€™ALL, FEEL FREE TO REPLY WITH YOUR OWN REASONS!! I WOULD LOVE FOR THIS POST TO JUST BECOME A BIG GIANT PILE OF LOVE AND YELLING!! GO NUTS! SCREAM ABOUT IT! INFODUMP!

sometimes you just gotta meme for the new guy.
this is two memes combined so sorry if theres similar questions i couldnt be bothered to post them separately lmao
itā€™s fuckin huge My Bad
-
Names? If you were to choose another name for your oc, what do you think it would be? Did you choose their name for how it sounds or for its meaning?
Tbh it was a toss-up for a long time between Mallory, Felix and Everaud, and eventually the first two won. I chose it for how it sounded, but as it turned out the meanings of his first two names juxtapose pretty well together (first name Mallory - ā€˜unluckyā€™, second name Felix - ā€˜luckyā€™). His surname, Valkner, I also picked for the sound - the meaning of ā€˜warriorā€™ doesnā€™t really pertain to him lmao
He hasnā€™t gone by his legit first name of Mallory since he was about 12, and has used Felix almost exclusively since then. he fuckin hates it. most of the time.
Can your oc play any instruments? Have they ever wanted to learn how to play any? Why?
No, he grew up without much money and instruments would have been a luxury. Heā€™s vaguely considered it as an adult, but is pretty certain heā€™d be useless so hasnā€™t bothered trying.
How does your oc fare in the dark? Are they scared? Do they trip over things really easily or navigate like they have night vision? (Or do they have night vision?)
He doesnā€™t like the dark much, but heā€™s not scared. Heā€™s just got bad eyesight.
How well would your oc fare as a teacher? What subject would they be best at teaching? What about the worst?
tbh heā€™d probably be pretty good as a teacher to a group of like...primary school kids, maybe from 5-11 in age. Heā€™s quiet-voiced, fairly mild-mannered, and has a strong sense of fairness and justice - the problem would arise when it came to older pupils, teens and up, trying to get the upperhand, bc heā€™s not authoritative in the slightest and would probably cave. Give him a room of toddlers tho that heā€™s only responsible for in short bursts and heā€™d cope pretty well. Either history or english lit would be his forte; sports would be worst. the boy canā€™t run.
What was your ocā€™s relationship with their parents like? If they didnā€™t have any parents/didnā€™t know them, who in their life was the closest to a parent to them?
Itā€™s...good? I guess?? Itā€™s complicated. his parents love their kids dearly and Felix didnā€™t go wanting for affection, but if anything it went too far the other way. He was absolutely smothered as a kid - after several near-death experiences with childhood illnesses (bacterial meningitis, which developed into encephalitis, then sepsis in his leg), his mother wrapped him up in cotton wool and never really let go. He couldnā€™t leave the house alone, he couldnā€™t go outside on cold days, he couldnā€™t move at anything faster than a walk - after being in and out of hospitals from 5-years-old to 8, and then being kept on a shelf from then, it really had an impact on how he learnt to interact with other kids his age. Itā€™s also given him an unstable footing in life itself - heā€™s never quite certain if heā€™s going to lose everything at the drop of a hat, because thatā€™s how they used to act around him. Now, with the distance of adulthood, he loves them and appreciates that they were trying their best, but he canā€™t help but resent them a little if he really thinks about it. He gets around this by not thinking about it.
Does your oc have any allergies, intolerances, or other sensitivities? How dangerous is it? Does this affect their daily life in any way?
heā€™s got an allergy to letting himself be happy itā€™s very serious
Does your oc prefer being in a crowd or being completely alone? How many people can be around them before they get uncomfortable?
Generally heā€™s more content alone - conversation doesnā€™t come naturally to him, particularly if itā€™s a crowd of strangers, and heā€™s more content in his own company. If he does find himself in a crowd, he will take himself to the edge of the room and people-watch rather than mingle.
How open is your oc to trying new things? Are they the adventurous sort, or would they rather stay in their comfort zone? Why?
He needs to be talked into things, otherwise heā€™d never try anything - he knows his comfort zones and heā€™s very comfortable in them, and is not inclined to venture outside. If heā€™s nudged into doing something, he may end up finding that he enjoys it - doesnā€™t necessarily mean heā€™d do it again under his own steam, but he doesnā€™t always regret the experience.
Does your oc have any best friends? Who was/is their closest friend? What about their worst enemy?
Pathetically enough, he doesnā€™t, really. Sylvia was his best, and to be honest his only friend, and when she left his social life left with her. He loves her still, but he loves her platonically (even if he hasnā€™t realised that yet) and that wasnā€™t enough for her, understandably. Outside of her, thereā€™s not really anyone else.
No enemies. Heā€™s not important enough to have enemies.
How dangerous is your oc? Are they completely innocent, or someone to be feared? Do others know?
tbh Felixā€™s level of danger is about the same as a puppy with a knife in its mouth. like yeah it might get you by accident but its way more likely to hurt itself and its not really done anything to deserve that so really its more important to get the knife away from it for its own benefit than yours
What is your ocā€™s vision like? Do they require glasses, are they completely blind, or do they have 20/20 vision? Does this have an effect on their life?
He wears glasses for pretty much everything - heā€™s not blind without them, but his visionā€™s bad enough that he wouldnā€™t be able to cope for the whole day if he left them at home.
If your oc were to be arrested for something, what would it be for? For being too kind, for a legitimate crime?
Probably for getting mixed up in something he didnā€™t mean to get involved in - Felix is the sort of person to say ā€˜yesā€™ to one request because he felt pressured and then find himself 20 ā€˜yesā€™s down the line embezzling money from the government for the Serbian mafia with no idea how he got there. Heā€™s quite easy to manipulate - a person who knows how to press his buttons can generally work the answer they want out of him.Ā 
How quiet or loud is your oc? Are they easily capable of sneaking around without being heard, or do they feel itā€™s impossible to stop talking?
Heā€™s pretty quiet - tries not to draw attention to himself if he can avoid it, and he doesnā€™t really speak unless heā€™s spoken to.
How stylistically fancy is your oc? Or would they rather go for comfort and plainness instead?
His primary concern is durability and price - he needs something that will either last for as long as possible so he doesnā€™t have to replace it any time soon, or something that is cheap enough that it doesnā€™t matter if it wears out, and ergo, Primark. He oftens window-shops for nice-fitting, fancy clothing in the London boutiques he passes on the way to work, but has never bought anything like that in his life and canā€™t bring himself to even consider it.
Whatā€™s your ocā€™s preferred mode of transportation? Walking, vehicle, (or in a sci-fi/magic setting) teleportation?
His preferred mode of transport is a car, but his isnā€™t always working properly so when he has to, he takes a bus - he doesnā€™t like walking if he can avoid it, partially because it wears him out and partially because heā€™s kind of physically lazy.
Is your oc always late, always early, or always right on time? Is there any reason for this?
Heā€™s always early, because he leaves early, because heā€™s already envisioned about 20 different disasters that could make him late on the way and heā€™s trying to circumvent all of them.
How empathetic is your oc? Or are they closer to being a sociopath? Any reason why?
Felix doesnā€™t really realise that heā€™s empathetic - he thinks heā€™s just doing what everyone does, but in fact he will go out of his way to improve a situation for someone if he thinks theyā€™re being hard-done-by for no benefit to himself, even to the extent of bending or breaking rules. Itā€™s partially why he got into the law-scene - he wants to see things bettered for people who need it.
How much does your oc swear? Or do they keep completely clean? Why is this? Is there any situation where they would be the opposite?
Swearing doesnā€™t come naturally to him - heā€™s one of those people who will swear only under their breath and still manage to feel guilty about doing it. If he is going to swear out loud, he does it in German and it always comes out clumsily.
How does your ocā€™s own perception of themselves compare to how other people see them? Is your oc aware that other people see them differently (if itā€™s different)?
Itā€™s pretty different. In his mind, heā€™s pretty useless - a bit of a waste-of-space who has coasted through life by pretending to be better than he is, kind of dull, kind of boring, kind of unattractive, altogether too much of Nothing Special for anyone to really be bothered with. Realistically, he comes across as responsible and competent at his job, perhaps a little highly-strung and nervy but nevertheless perfectly capable of managing the responsibilities he has. Itā€™s his own self-doubt that cripples him, for the most part - people see it in him, and perhaps it makes them wonder if thereā€™s a reason for it.
Is your oc a workaholic, or do they find it hard to be busy at all? Do they find it easy to relax, or must they have something to do at all times? Why?
if heā€™s not working, heā€™s thinking, and that simply wonā€™t do. Felixā€™s whole life is work, for the most part - he throws his all into it, and isnā€™t sure what to do with himself when heā€™s sitting at home alone in a dead-quiet flat.
How energetic is your oc? Do they have trouble sitting still or do they feel low on juice all the time? Any reason why?
Heā€™s constantly exhausted. Itā€™s because heā€™s depressed. He hasnā€™t figured that out yet.
How does your character sleep? Peacefully, fitfully? What position do they sleep in? What is their typical bedding like?
Not very peacefully - Felix is a light sleeper, so although capable of getting to sleep relatively quickly he wakes up in fits and starts throughout the night. He tends to sleep curled on his left side, on bedding that is cheap, serviceable and durable. He canā€™t afford to buy anything decent. He finds it easier to stay asleep if thereā€™s ambient noise in the room - white noise, the TV, whatever.
Does your oc have dreams or nightmares? What are they like? Is there a recurring one?
Heā€™ll suffer a pretty bad nightmare here and there, generally to do with hospitals or medical procedures, but they arenā€™t chronic.
How easy to annoy is your oc? Do they have common pet-peeves or are they stoic in response to everything? What is their reaction if the source doesnā€™t stop?
heā€™s real easy to annoy lmao. Heā€™s got a list of pet peeves a mile long and heā€™s very easy to get a rise out of, so people who enjoy getting a reaction (Lyon) find him very entertaining pickings. He keeps telling himself not to get so worked up because it only encourages things, but he canā€™t help it.
How does your oc view housework? Do they absolutely hate it? Do they enjoy having their surroundings neat and tidy or do they not notice?
He hates doing it, but he really enjoys a clean space afterwards and goes a long way to keep things organised. Disorder stresses him out - he particularly canā€™t bear people coming into his space and messing it up.
Your oc has to make something for an art exhibition. What would they make? How terrible is it? Would they enjoy making it?
oh christ. the thing is, heā€™s actually not that bad at art - heā€™s got a good handle on anatomy and perspective and can reproduce images or photpgraphs fairly well - but he thinks heā€™s useless and has never shown anyone anything. heā€™d produce a pretty solid sketch of like a coffee shop at 5pm or something dull like that, apologise profusely for the result, and hate every second of it.
What is your ocā€™s vocabulary like? Does it match the way they talk? How would you describe their speech?
He speaks pretty well - heā€™s precise with his words and keeps a quiet, even tone, and his vocab is fairly developed. If thereā€™s a flaw with his speech, itā€™s that he speaks rather too quickly, because heā€™s used to being constantly interrupted - it becomes a race to get the sentence finished and his point across, before someone can cut him off.
He has a south German accent, but itā€™s a little softer for years of living in England - it gets stronger when he goes back home to Munich.
Is your oc more likely to follow instructions exactly, throw them out and figure it out on their own, or make it all up? What are the results like?
He follows instructions to the T, and doesnā€™t have the impulse to experiment and mess around with them for fear of making a mistake that heā€™d then have to clean up; that being said, if it becomes a matter of fair treatment, he may be inclined to bend the rules here and there.
Is your oc afraid of touch or do they actively seek it out? Is there a reason for this? What are the exceptions?
lmaoooOOOOO heā€™s petrified, whilst at the same time desperately craving it. Heā€™s horrendously touch-starved, but his childhood lizard-brain learnt to associate touch with painful medical procedures, so he shies from it by nature.
How is your oc about medical care? Do they avoid any form of healthcare that they can, do they seek it out over every little scrape? Do they treat their injuries/illness all by themselves?
Felix carries an awful lot of medical trauma with him; heā€™s terrified of medical care, whilst simultaneously being something of a hypochondriac convinced heā€™s got some sort of Terrible Disease at all times. to be fair, this is because he once had a Terrible Disease, which then led to a second and then a third Terrible Disease before the first could even be treated, so he does have form for it. He also canā€™t handle blood and has been known to pass out at the sight of it, but would rather do that and recover on the floor than go to hospital.
He will avoid hospitals At All Costs.
How competitive is your oc? Is every little task something that they can win, or are they just in competitions for the fun of it? Is there anyone theyā€™re most competitive with?
Heā€™s sort of competitive accidentally - he doesnā€™t want to be, but he feels like he needs to be in order to succeed. He is desperate to prove himself, desperate to show his mother than he is more than capable of managing his own life, but he will run himself to exhaustion trying to get there. Heā€™s happiest when heā€™s left to do his own thing without feeling like heā€™s competing against others, when heā€™s content that heā€™s appreciated by the people around him and is able to take that appreciation at face value, but he hasnā€™t come to that realisation in himself yet - he just thinks heā€™s doing it wrong.
How skilled at lying is your oc? How frequently do they lie? For what reason? What situations would be the exception?
lmao he canā€™t lie to save his life itā€™s actually kind of sad to watch. heā€™s a Blusher, for one, so heā€™s already tripped coming out of the gate, and then he starts falling over his own tongue the second heā€™s asked a question he canā€™t give a truthful answer to until itā€™s painfully obvious to everyone. itā€™s just sad.
What is your ocā€™s immune system like? Are they invincible to illness, or are they compromised completely from the slightest of dirt?
His immune system is terrible - a side-effect of his childhood. If thereā€™s an illness going around, he will catch it.
Does your oc do anything ā€œjust for the aestheticā€? Or are they completely practical in everything?
Totally practical by habit, but perhaps heā€™d be happier if he wasnā€™t. Heā€™s not used to doing things just because he wants to, because heā€™d enjoy the experience - there has to be a reason for it, else heā€™s not justified in doing it. Same goes for purchasing things that he wants - if he canā€™t come up with a good, solid, practical reason to buy himself something, he wonā€™t buy it. ā€˜Because you want toā€™ is not reason enough.
If you had to choose a single object to act as a symbol for your oc, what would it be?
One of those candles that re-ignites itself when you blow it out.
If your oc could only eat one thing for the rest of their life (while miraculously not suffering from malnutrition), what would it be?
Heā€™s got a massive sweet tooth and spends a lot of time baking, so probably cake - heā€™s fond of little gay French patisserie nonsense.
How prepared is your oc? Ready for the worst no matter what, or completely lost in every situation? Would they have a medkit when it was needed? Would they have an umbrella if it rains?
As much as he panics, in a legitimate bad situation he is capable of keeping his head - he runs on adrenaline and suffers the consequences later. He carries a first-aid kit in his car, but has never needed to use it, and yes, he always has an umbrella.
How charitable is your oc? Or are they more stingy with their resources and money?
god. He is stingy, but not out of a miserly nature - he just legitimately does not have much money. He never has, ever since childhood, and that shit is ingrained in him - you watch what youā€™re spending, because you never know when youā€™re going to need to make an emergency payment.
If someone was describing your oc to someone who had never met them, what distinguishing features would they mention? How would one identify your oc in a crowd?
Short guy, kind of round-faced, round glasses - kinda looks like heā€™s lost even when he isnā€™t. Jumps if you bump into him.
Does your oc have any pleasure that embarrasses them so they keep it secret? Or are they open about all the things they enjoy?
literally everything that he enjoys, heā€™s embarrassed about. He likes old black-and-white movies and heā€™s embarrassed about that. He reads shitty romcom fiction and heā€™s embarrassed about that. He enjoys cooking, heā€™s embarrassed about that. He actually enjoys sex, believe it or not, and heā€™s embarrassed about it. Donā€™t even fuckin get him started on his kinks because heā€™s embarrassed about them. tbh Felix doesnā€™t really know how to enjoy himself without guilt or shame, because he always feels like he needs to justify the things he likes and he doesnā€™t know how to do it. Heā€™s just embarrassed.
What is your ocā€™s stamina like? Would they be able to run a marathon, or not run at all? What about walking/another physical activity? How are they with exercise in general?
Shitty stamina - heā€™s got weak lungs and the extent of his running ability is running for a bus and then needing literally four hours to recover. He sort of makes a vague attempt to exercise at home, but is easily discouraged and would just rather lie on the couch having a crisis of body-image.
How long can your oc stay focused on one task before they get bored? Do they constantly have to switch things up or do they hyperfocus? What sort of things is it the opposite for?
Felix is the king of repetitive, menial tasks. Set him in front of a diary or a spreadsheet and heā€™s well away. He really doesnā€™t mind thoughtless admin labour, even as he insists that heā€™s capable of handling more responsibility - and although he is more than capable, he also feels comforted by the predictability of data-entry. A nice mix of both would be ideal.
What smells bring back specific memories to your oc? What are those memories like?
Antiseptic and rubber floors, with that underlying stink of sickness. Theyā€™re not good memories.
How jumpy or easily spooked is your oc? Do they have a fight or flight reflex to being startled, or are they never startled at all?
Heā€™s super-jumpy and easy to startle, which is delightful to some people. Between fight or flight, heā€™ll fly.
How polite is your oc? Do they do everything with the utmost courtesy, or do they completely refuse to say please and thank you?
Heā€™s unfailingly polite, because his mother would have beat him with a shoe if he wasnā€™t.
How flexible is your oc? Can they touch their toes or do they have trouble just sitting down because of how stiff they are?
He doesnā€™t think heā€™s flexible at all, but certain intercurricular activities with Lyon suggest that heā€™s more flexible than he thinks he is.
What is your ocā€™s typical walking like? Do they speed-walk everywhere, do they take quick short steps or long paces? How loud are their footsteps?
Because his legs are kinda short, he walks pretty quickly just to be able to keep up with people - quiet steps, because heā€™s trying not to draw attention to himself.
If your oc was in a video game, what would their idle animation be?
Cleaning his glasses, putting them back on, squinting through them, then taking them off and cleaning them again ad infinitum.
What topics does your oc know the most about? Are these obvious or would these be surprising to others?
Heā€™s a talented cook and has absorbed quite a lot about flavour profiles and all that shit that I know nothing about so Iā€™m not going into details lmao. Heā€™s also got a bank of knowledge about classic films that he keeps to himself, as heā€™s never convinced anyone would be interested. Heā€™s got a lot of shit that he keeps to himself for this same reason, and therefore thereā€™s quite a lot he could surprise people with if the right topics came up.
What time of day is your oc most awake? What about most tired? Do they get up at the same time every morning without need of an alarm, or is their sleep schedule all over the place?
Tries to tell himself heā€™s a morning-person. He isnā€™t. Left to his own devices heā€™d wake up about 10 and fall asleep about 2am, but heā€™ll insist if asked that heā€™s naturally inclined to wake up early.
What would someone blackmail your oc with? Would they be successful in getting what they wanted?
theyā€™d get hold of a list of his pornhub browsing history and yes, they would absolutely be successful.
How easily does your oc get attached to things? Does everything have a sentimental value to them, or do they see nothing as more valuable than its practical use? What about with people/animals?
He gets attached to people and animals very easily, but as for things - he gets angry when he breaks or loses items, but thatā€™s more to do with being stressed about having to pay to replace them than anything sentimental. Heā€™s thrifty to a fault and wonā€™t throw anything out until itā€™s absolutely unusable, to the point that heā€™s gotten pretty skilled at sewing repairs in order to avoid getting rid of clothes. He does have sentimental attachments to a few things, but not the majority.
How stubborn is your oc? Are they easily convinced of the opposite opinion, do they not agree but let it happen anyways? Or do they cause conflicts with their inability to budge in their decisions?
Heā€™s not stubborn, as such, but he does know his own mind. He can be talked around or into things quite easily, but he does like to feel as though his voice has been heard.
How much has your oc traveled? Why is this? Would they like to travel more? Or are they perfectly fine with staying home?
Heā€™d prefer to stay home - thereā€™s too much room for error travelling abroad, and the risks donā€™t really outweigh the benefits for him. He travels back and forth between England and Germany, and he has visited France before as a boy, but thatā€™s about it.
What signs tell that your oc is nervous? Do they fidget, is it in their expression or the way they say things? Or are they very skilled at hiding it?
He fiddles with his glasses and fidgets his hands around, and is also (as mentioned) a blusher - heā€™s Not Subtle when heā€™s nervous or flustered, which in turn makes it worse.
How superstitious your oc? Do they end up following them ā€˜just in caseā€™? Or are superstitions incredibly important to your oc? What are some that they believe? What about the ones they donā€™t?
He says he isnā€™t superstitious, but Iā€™m not certain thatā€™s true - I think heā€™s superstitious despite himself. He follows them, then gets annoyed with himself for following them and assures himself that he wonā€™t do it again, but then when it comes to it next time he follows them again anyway. He wonā€™t walk under ladders, wonā€™t open an umbrella indoors and he broke a mirror once and almost died. The only one he doesnā€™t believe is unlucky black cats, because heā€™s never met a black cat that was unpleasant.

anon said:Ā Your Monoma scenario was really good!If weā€™re being honest, though, Monoma would literally start foaming at the mouth if he saw anyone from 1-A making physical contact with his s/o, ESPECIALLY Bakugou. They would have to call animal control because there would be a rabid Monoma in the dorms lol
okay... while youā€™re not wrong, I just thought 18 year old monoma should have grown up just the tiniest bit! plus his obsession is controlled because of his insecurity so LMAO IDK I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE UGH

anon said:Ā Did the local dumbass anon ever cut their bangs? Do you know?
....I dont know, but I just asked her rn >:)
this paragraph is dedicated to those surrounding to the meltdown mess that occurred yesterday. to each and every one of you who sent me kind words via my askbox or directly contacting me, thank you. I really want to move past this because I feel by holding on it will make me feel less inclined to write because of my guilt. of course, I do not expect you to forgive me, or trust me in my story of how it went down, because at the end of the day it was my mistake for trusting in someone to write with pure intentions when I didnā€™t know if she could. im trying to continue on with my best foot forward and im grateful for those of you who trusted in me. I swear I will never push myself again, and that I will instead take my time in order to publish my original work and only my original work and not take anything that comes from aĀ ā€œfriendā€. know that I love you all, and I dont know how to take it easy so my break lasted a whooping 10 hours, and my blog wonā€™t discontinue until im done with bnha or...I get into medschool which is still 3 years away, I am taking care of myself, im staying hydrated, im trying not to put myself down anymore, I will keep going, & will forever continue to be more careful with what I post. also, no one was really coming for me, so donā€™t worry if you thought so lol. (to you 9 anons who expressed their kind thoughts to me, thank you. to big dick kiri anon thank you. to @bqkubabeyā€‹, @flayvusā€‹, &Ā @ultimate-shit-posterā€‹ thank you so so much you really helped me not drown myself in my own guilt.)
anon said:Ā i hope youā€™re feeling okay today :((
I am feeling a lot better. unfortuantely I did make myself really sick yesterday because ive never been as stressed in my life ever, but im okay now. thereā€™s nothing I can do more for what happened so I will try to continue on as best as I can and I appreciate you caring... ilysm :)
@ikinabiā€‹ said: Your writing??? Actually god sent šŸ„µšŸ‘Œ and the way you write Mirio gets me GOING
BAHAHAH NOOOOO ITS NOT PLAFUAOGHJIPRAHAR MY MIRIO PIECE YOU LIKED WAS MY FIRST PIECE ON HIM AND OOO BOY I DID NOT DO HIM JUSTICE

i dont technically hardcore ship kids buuuut i will sayĀ ā€œfuck thats hecking cuteā€ to any and all pairings and join in on the fun wholesome content. for example, if you give me fanart, give me fics, give me headcanons, then im already sold on how adorable that specific pairing will be bc theres now some quality content to explore. as long as its not toxic, disgusting or impractical.
god okay, get motherfucking ready guys.
now, i may rant a bit on the matter to further explain my point of view on shipping in this comic and how i will go around it lol. sorry for the long note. thereā€™s a tldr at the end.
honestly, idc who gets together, bc i just want the kids to be happy and if the pairing is happy together, thats all that matters to me. i just dont like taking shipping to the extreme, yknow. (which means having nsfw stuff for kidsĀ and flipping out if one ship is canon when another really should be. similar to many other fandoms who have those problems and i just.. dont get why?) anyways, thats not to say i will freak out if a cute pairing of mine becomes canon and especially if the rep is nice. and honestly? ill probably freak out for any canon ship as long as its healthy and theyre both happy - as ive mentioned. keep in mind im still a fan lmao, i will prob participate in the recurring ship talk and discourse bc ugh it can be so fucking cute.
anyways, regarding what we have now, i honestly like all pairings atm (obviously between the kids only and not some cursed ones ive heard about which i refuse to get into). all their interactions are so unique and cute and quite adorable. davejade is wholesome. johnrose is valid. i also like jaderose, daverose and johndave. which technically is almost every possible pairing lmfao. sometimes my opinion can vary, sometimes things could happen to make my view on that specific pairing to change. and sometimes new people come into the picture which allows me to explore more potential candidates that i think would be better for that characters rather than just having a ship to progress the plot further. if that makes sense. it always depends, doesnt it? (so keep in mind you can ask me if i ever have changed my opinion on a specific ship, character, ect in the future)
and of course, thereā€™s a big difference between who i think are going to get together and who i wouldnt mind getting together despite canonical evidence that it wont happen. which i wont get into unless yall want me to talk about in depth who likes who and how it will probably impact the relationships of the characters vs how it should be.. well, not ā€œfixedā€, but what could be another alternative if a specific relationship seems to have its downfalls.Ā 
however, i doubt thereā€™s going to be anyĀ ā€œendgameā€ ships bc homestuck is more prone to story telling than romance. itā€™s a webcomic for plot and probable character growth rather than making peopleā€™s ships come true. meaning shipping is a concept that andrew will give you, and he will give you all types of interaction so youā€™re free to ship what you want. however, heā€™ll leave it open without giving us an ultimate pairing. which is where i think this comic will go. i may be wrong. but it seems the most likely situation.
so shipping is all fun and games but things happen, not everything becomes canon and even if i have theories on future relationships, i will only analyze what we were given and not necessarily based on non-canonical evidence. so as much as i like crackships (and boy do i have fun in crackships, lets be real), because this is a liveblog, i wont be able to get into depth with false claims on a ship if thereā€™s literally nothing to go on. however, pls expect joke ships to happen. if i say cake #42 wants to be with johnā€™s fake arms, so be it. that was a fun time on the discord, man. i love joking around but then again, they are just jokes. im not actually shipping them. its similar to how i view dave and AT. they got married duh. yet thats a joke. something i will bring up again, but that never means im serious about it. (besides imp soap opera. thats becoming massively real now, isnt it. a liveblog inside joke that got way out of hand and is now canon.)
anyways, romance is a nice bonus treat for everyone as they read a webcomic which is not centered around it. and of course ill analyse the possibilities of what we could get and how characters will go through it based on their personalities and past experiences, but i dont think itll become a main part of homestuck as of now. perhaps something.. could happen in the future? and ill keep my hopes of some pairings getting together. but, overall, i will be happy with whatever we get and i refuse to bitch about how some ship is better than the other and be mad at homestuck in its entirety. because andy here is not trying to portray a romcom, heā€™s making an actual story.
wow, i kind of went off a little on what you were trying to ask in the first place, but i feel this was a nice place to get that out there and explain how ill perceive shipping in homestuck. all so i wont have to explain this for the future when characters potentially start getting together. which is to say, ill enjoy shipping characters on my hs experience, hell, ill even participate in it, but they are 13 and i have my limits.
cool. i feel like i just wrote a philosophy book.
tldr; shipping is a nice gateway in a fandom, i like pretty much anything as long as its not toxic and theyre happy together. expect character/relationship analyses in the future.Ā
