gonna put them emoji’s again💀😭 so it would be: 🥑🍬🌸🐝🎨🍄

I love using these TOTALLY USEFUL emoji’s so I picked em🥰

you don’t use avocado/bee/mushroom everyday? what are you even doing?🙄

BUT ANYWAY

🥑: you accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help?

probably @bunnylove1 and @blookyag, idk why tho honestly, just getting the vibes they’d help somebody out with hiding the body💀 (it’s a compliment, i swear-)

🍬: post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character:

okay uhh- (don’t cancel me plz) i respect with my whole heart that alastor is asexual and (?) aromantic but i don’t get the hate people receive when shipping him with someone? as far as i know being on the spectrum means he can still date? like i know, he doesn’t show any interest in that but if its just for a silly au or for a cool drawing then what’s the fuss about? i’m not talking like about erasing that part of him because that’s a big no no for me, but like…? respecting it but still having fun with his character? i saw a great tiktok explaining my thoughts exactly so maybe i’ll link it here if i can find it (add the link here later camila:) (besides all that i project a lot of myself onto alastor (still debating if im aromantic or not) and i want to explore myself with his character (if i can even phrase it that way) so all the hate and shit really bother me, you know?)

(another thing more about whole thing not a character is that “whatever it takes” is in my top 4 songs and i don’t get the hate it gets?? i love this song?? it’s so great?? two latina (?) girls singing together?? cmon??)

🌸: do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them:

i do actually! i have a dog and three rats:) (also had a rabbit but he died not so long ago and he was like my whole world so i got a tattoo to remember him, i’ll add it as well just because i can)

🐝: tag your biggest supporters and say one nice thing about them:

@kimmyisachiisaiakuma - ugh of course?? like in my head we are already besties fr fr, what can i saaaay😭 idk i love you and how supportive and just friendly you are!!:) and god of course, i love your art?? but i’ve already said it a thousand times??? so here’s one thousand first??

@bunnylove1 - just how supportive you are towards my stuff and how with exactly one request i felt like we also became besties? maybe it’s just me but yeah😭

@blookyag - liking my every post and responding to every single one of them!!! she’s a treasure, really. i’m surprised someone cares about my rambling this much💀

@informist - i’ve noticed that she’s also reacting to a lot of my stuff and she’s so quick with it like?? idk it makes my heart jump okay? i love attention from people even when it’s just my stupid rambling😭 (#iamanattentionwhore 😗😗)

@rougecreator1 - liked a lot of my posts as well, and somehow i feel like they enjoy my stuff? idk tho?😭😭 yeah just noticed interactions in my activities:)

@riveramorylunar - i feel like we were more active on each other’s accounts when i was still in my lady lesso era, but idk i really liked you then and i still love seeing your stuff pop up on my main page:)

and of course, all of my lovely anons who send me their ideas that i can’t wait to write!!:)

🎨: link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it:

okay so like it changes every day?? but for now i must say this one:

click!

why? simple. a. brokerdoll b. the marvellous style? c. i want to draw like that d. just… just look at it okay? e. lesbians.

(and a special mention for THIS as well, as it’s the first time someone ever drawn my oc and besides the fact that she looks so pretty here it’s just… idk i just love it okay, she stole my heart)

🍄: share a headcanon for one of your favourite ships or pairings:

let’s start with the fact that i even have a favourite account for all the headcanons about brokerdoll which is @vypridae (adore all the hcs, really)

buut! my personal headcanon is:

• carmilla didn’t really expect to fall for velvette, i mean in my head she just saw her as so… respectless and dumb and stupid and careless and carefree and wild and free and pretty- wait

yeah, so in my head velvette was the first to initiate anything and at first carmilla was like “ha! no way, you stupid girl” but then she started to think more and more about velvette as the time went on and one day she just got along the fact that she might be attracted to the young overlord and somehow… went with it? like she didn’t make a big deal out of it… but velvette definitely did, despite the fact she was actually the first one to say or act on her attraction in any way.

(i need to write more headcanons for them, they’re literally eating up my brain)

ABOUT THE MUN - ooo I got tagged ooOooo

what made you pick up the current muse(s) you have?

fixation as soon as the second trailer with her reveal came? Like the little snippets that was known about the game already weaved a pretty intricate (and disproven lol) plot and personality.

Even after everything got debunked I still kept my original lore + now I live and love the idea her ideal, picturesque self is actually a front for how clutzy and forgetful she really is as a super busy champion who's passionate about her region.

is there anything you don’t like to write?

bad/sad unnecessary endings or forks in the road?? I know it's silly in context like "well stories arent all happy-" BUT THIS IS POKEMON AR PEE AND I PARTIALLY CONTROL THE NARATIVE AND I WANT MY PROTAGS TO GO THROUGH IT BUT COME OUT AT THE END GETTING EVERYTHING THEY WANT. IS IT SO BAD I DONT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN BITTER SADNESS EVEN IN A FANTASY MADE-UP SCENARIO? REALITY IS HELL AS IS I DONT WANNA BE SAD ALL DAY OVER INTERNET BARBIES, I HAVE BILLS AND TAXES TO DO.

so I make sure to plot with long term plot partners so we all get that character growth and exciting story with something good they can all take away in the end. No, the character doesnt have to die to prove a macab point. No the loving couple doesnt have to break up for some story twist. And thats what AU's are for if we're looking to explore something else so it's easy to separate from 👍

is there anything you really enjoy writing?

plot novellas 👀 I see a partner reply instantly to a plot thread and I jive for days on end until the next reply for real-- each one is a really juicy cliffhanger and a lot of them still haunt the back of my mind.

how do you come up with headcanons?

most come with interactions or thoughts stemming from the game or story itself. Eventually they branch out and more ideas happen and a lot comes from looking at dash and bringing up some really interesting points!

do you write in silence or do you play music?

Ambiance and music helps esp when silence is actually really distracting (thoughts wandering and what not-adhd be like that). The mood even influences the reply.

do you plan your replies or wing them?

planned for plot driven replies but ic bouts and simple replies are winged!

do you enjoy shipping?

YES YES YES YES, though recently I have to be a little more careful about saying Im completely open to shipping on whim. At some points the plot involves the other person too much and it gets hard to move a story along esp with the nature of the rpc and the lifespan of interest in the muse/rpc (which is natural ofc!).

You're okay to show and express interest in shipping so we can take a direction with our muses interaction wise but I say it's not for certain until they develop some more long term. Who knows, maybe it was just a crush or a fling sort of thought :' 0

what’s your alias/name?

Leche leche leche leche leche milk

age?

birthday?

may!

favorite color?

red and greens

favorite song?

Sugar, You by the Oh Honey has taken a lot of real-estate in my head lately--

last movie you watched?

I,,,havent watched a movie in a really long time Ill be honest OTL,, I dont have the attention span to sit down for more then twenty minutes if that.

last show you watched?

Aggretsuko final season! That,,,was awhile ago. See above oop--

last song you listened to?

Dont know the last song that played on my car radio 🤔

favorite food?

spaghetti and meatballs and cereal < 3

favorite season?

spring 🌼

do you have a tumblr best friend?

ooh I dont want to make anyone feel left behind. My moots have a special place regardless of hobby or not <3

tagging: uh...

#ooc. ･ﾟ ✹#tierra-paldeana #thank yooou < 3

hi! I love your blog! I didn't ever think of writing about ttrpg on my writeblr blog, so thank you for sending me down that tunnel! It's making me see my table top characters in whole new ways to think of them as oc's. (and honestly inspired by you im thinking of rebranding my blog to include ttrpg stuff now yay) Quick actual question, since this is an ask after all, how do you like to get to know a new oc when you have first created them?

aww, thank you! glad to know i can offer some inspiration there, and i look forward to learning about your PCs/campaigns too if you do end up posting stuff about them! 🥰

and ooh, that's a great question. there's a few different things i like

for my PCs, i usually only have vague ideas at first, so the process generally starts with me pouring over the rulebooks for the right class/subclass, background, feats, etc. to match the vibe i have in mind. this helps me narrow in on a more specific vision of the character and sometimes even gives me some new ideas to play around with. from there, it's often a lot of just writing things down, either in the character sheet or on my designated backstory doc, until it's time to actually play. it can take a few sessions to feel out a new PC and settle on how i play them, but i never really fully know them until i've "been" them, ya know?

if i'm getting ansty or want to do more character work in between sessions, i like working through lists of questions (especially when they're DM-provided). i really enjoy Ginny Di's POV Roleplay video series, especially this one: POV Roleplay: You're treated by a healer video link, as a more interactive style of questionnaire. essentially, Ginny takes on the role of a D&D-style NPC and has a "conversation" with you, with pauses in the video to allow you to respond in character. it can feel kinda silly at first, like a bizarro adult version of Dora the Explorer, but once you get comfortable with it, it's a pretty fun way to get into the character's headspace and explore how they think and interact with others in a zero-stakes, non-canon environment.

finally, i tend to do a lot of daydreaming and expanding their backstory doc. like, when i say that i am mentally ill about Cerris or Ariel, i am not exaggerating. i have hyperfocused on them to the degree that for, like, a month at a time, any time i wasn't actively focusing on something else, i was thinking about one of my boys. it's how i'd deal with long public transit to and from work when i didn't have headphones (and at least once missing my stop because i was too engrossed in blorbothinking). it's how i'd fall asleep. it's how a quick shower would turn into twenty minutes of me standing under the hot water not actually bathing, just thinking about character things. and Ariel's backstory doc (which also contains a good amount of worldbuilding content, as i got to help the DM develop the country he's from) has ballooned from its original, like, 4 pages to a solid 18-20. i have family crests and pedigrees and height comparison charts and explanations of noble social customs and naming conventions. it's ridiculous.

in a similar vein, i'll sometimes write letters and journal entries from their perspective, or random backstory scenes. these are especially helpful in getting a feel for the character's voice, which is a key part of writing and roleplay for me!

for non-PC characters, both player-created NPCs and OCs for non-TTRPG projects, i'll do some of the same things, but a lot of it ends up revolving around the simple question: what do i need them to do in the story i'm trying to tell? what characteristics and storytelling elements are going to best allow them to fulfill that goal? it sounds very formulaic and detached when i write it out like that, but in practice it feels much more personal, like helping a character discover their purpose in life

anyway TLDR: basically i give myself free reign to hyperfixate on the character and think about nothing else for at least a week straight 😂 when you spend that much time thinking about a character, it's hard to not figure out almost everything about them!

#ask answered #writblr #writeblr #my writing process #thank you again for the ask!

There's a common knowledge among my friends, close and not so close, and it's that i enjoy saying mean things, It's enjoyable to me ! No, i don't feel particularly bad about it, that is, until, it actually affects someone. Once it's hurtful and once it's actually causing harm, i don't like it. Guess that's pretty human of me to do and feel. I refuse to believe that there are people that get no joy out of being mean, no matter how severe or weak the meanness is.

In case you are curious, for the sake of narrative. For the sake of example. For the sake of making this a more interactive journal. Im gonna give you an example.

Say a friend wants me to handle some interpersonal problems, say they want me to respond to someone in their behalf because they trust me and because they bet on my honesty and character. Who would bet on that anyways, money is precious, but in any case. In any form. Nevertheless. At any rate, they do. Before i can take care of it they say to me: "I'll leave this to you, but don't be too rough with it"

"I don't get rough. You know me. If you are leaving this to me then leave this to me. Don't forget that you rather let me handle this because of your lack of back bone"

Sure, if it had been as simple as just saying "Hey, my friend is hurt by how you are acting" to this person i was about to talk to, they wouldn't have come to me. But i enjoy saying stuff like that when i know the truth damn well. And the moment i enjoy it, i lose sight on whatever was enjoyable about it on the first place.

Needless to say, i took care of it. Funnily enough, their relationship was flowering a couple weeks later, isn't that funny, isn't it interesting that people live in a society so they learn from a young age to forgive and forget. Isn't it so, so, so fucking weird. I guess that's also part of what makes us the species that we are, we find joy even in the worst of conditions, and we also find misery in the best. I guess i was never that blinded by love. I guess i wasn't ever really in love. Whatever that means of course, topic for another day maybe? look at me go, little narrator Jr. finding a new topic to talk about in the page im writing now, silly old me teehee.

I guess there's aspects of human society that i've always struggled to understand. Not that i don't, have i told you that im actually really smart? I know, oh just how fortunate I am. Go me. Not that i believe that, mind you. Or maybe i do, what do you know? go be nosy somewhere else.

But, if you ask me, for example: It's a mystery to me the amount of faith people put on things, never doubting anything, never questioning things, just happy living in ignorance. I consider myself to be knowledge starved of topics. All topics. No matter how niche. It's fun just to know things for the sake of it. Of course, there's a lot i don't know about. Me, inept and poorly educated me, lacked the understanding of something as trivial and simple as believing in something to be comforted by it. But i guess i do get it now. They probably do it because it's easier than doubting the veracity of something.

Doubting.

Is stressful.

The point is that it's less about not doubting something than about "not wanting to doubt", people like believing that they can trust something. Their surroundings. The world. People.

They want security.

So they simply reject doubting, and believe. I guess in that sense our society is as comfortable as it gets. Please continue being comfortable, live on. Get to experience happiness.

However, and i can't express this enough. Be skeptical. If you don't want to live your life making a mess out of things, be skeptical.

This isn't, of course, any life advice, or a place for you to take my thoughts as revelation. You would be pretty stupid to do so. Moronic even. Just a stupid person. No shame in that. Just don't be that type of stupid. If you are, go die somewhere.

I guess as a finishing touch. The torch before the finish line. The final stretch. The added details. I might as well add a small little reflection upon myself that i had recently.

I'm not at all a socially awkward person. I know how society works, better than most. I see it. And i get it. I live in one and participate on one. Everyone does. I see everything and i get everything. Some people are like books to me. I'm probably more socially aware than most. I read the room. There, i had enough jerking myself off for now, heh.

This italic font sucks, by the way. Fix it, Tumblr.

I've been so socially aware that even as i child i started getting how society works. I started without noticing a trend in how i acted towards someone that knew less than me. I used to dumb myself down, just so they don't feel bad about themselves because that how society works. Some people call that humbleness. I call that lying. I knew about the topic, i pretended to not know just for your sake. Be grateful. Or not. Maybe you don't get it after all. Or maybe you do, but ignore it.

Which terrifies me even more.

"𝙰 𝚜𝚑𝚢 𝚌𝚛𝚞𝚜𝚑"

࿐ character(s): Ushijima Wakatoshi, Daichi Sawamura, Kuroo Tetsurou

࿐ genre: sfw, soft/fluff, comfort, tiny angst if you squint

࿐ type: headcanons (hcs)? / imagine

࿐ requested by: @dumpsterfireinc

⌦ shymale!reader (he/him)

⌦ ‘if I can request comfort hcs for Ushijima, Daichi, Kuroo, and Oikawa who have a crush on as shy male!reader who thinks the boys should be with a girl and not him.’

A/N: i had to drop oikawa on this one since i cant seem to get his personality out?? i- uh-. i apologize- also my way of writing hcs is weird? idk why i like writing like that, but eventually they’ll shift- somehow- (i’ll probably make a proper hcs post if you want-)

1-16-2021: sorry in advanced if this took waaay to long. im doubting my writings. kinda shit but im just burnt out.

𝚄𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚓𝚒𝚖𝚊:

❀ Ushijima had a crush on you. of course he would, someone so soft, gentle, and shy. he actually found it cute you having those aspects. even though not a lot of people would enjoy such an introverted person at times.

❀ being shy would fit well together with his own personality generally. like being stoic and quiet himself. at some points he genuinely thought you and him were perfect. just two puzzle pieces that could fit together.

❀ he doesn’t know when he had a crush on you till Tendou or someone would bring it up. cause he always somehow had his eyes on you in the halls, classes, etc.

❀ adding on to his personality, he is very blunt and straightforward with his words. and when you heard those three words from the intimidating captain. made your heart skip a beat, muscles tense, and mind race.

❀ “..y-you.. like me??” the softened tone in your voice echoed within the empty afterschool halls.

❀ “Yes. I just stated that.”

❀ “..I heard you.. you dummy..” you muttered the last words softly. fiddling with your fingers nervously, he always found you fidgeting with something whenever you were nervous or put on the spot. your gaze kept low.

❀ the silence only just settled. making Ushijima await another word from your smaller figure.

❀ but he didn’t expect those words to slip out of your mouth. he never did.

❀ “Why.. Why would you want to be with me.. instead.” your voice still kept your softened tone, but it had a faint hint of sadness. the slight wavering of your voice gave way.

❀ “..isn’t it better to be.. with a girl instead? t-they’re better options. pretty. talented. i-i don’t.. have any of those.”

❀ Ushijima just stared, unsure on what to do. no one told him this would be a scenario or a possibility. thought it was simply just a yes or no to a confession, something quick.

❀ “You also won’t l-look.. weird.. o-odd.. with-” your voice cracked, tears gathered in your eyes. quickly wiping them away with a sniff.

❀ “F-fuck I’m sorry.. for c-crying..” softly cursing as you nervously laughed.

❀ “y/n,” Ushijima lifted your head gently with his hand making sure your eyes looked up at him, “..I don’t care, if people will look at us weirdly. I don’t care if they all knew or not.”

❀ he wiped the tears dripping from your eyes as you stared at him with disbelief.

❀ “I like you. No- I love you. That’s that. I love y/n, and nothing will stop that.”

❀ shortly, tears poured from your eyes from his words. softly murmuring apologizes for crying over this accompanied w/ a smile on your face. Ushijima just wiping your tears away for you, seeing how your face just melts in his hand in comfort. regaining composure after a couple of reassurances from him.

❀ “I-I.. I love you.. t-too.. Wakatoshi..”

𝙳𝚊𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒:

❀ mans had a big crush on you ever since you both had multiple shared classes. especially same homeroom.

❀ Daichi and you had an decent relationship, it wasn’t as close like he has with Sugawara or Asahi. having the same homeroom, he always found you alone and minding your own business a desk or two behind him in the back.

❀ sometimes exchanging the simple hellos and small talk whenever Suga and/or Asahi dared him to. knowing how his eyes occasionally drifts towards your direction of the room.

❀ for someone so quiet.. he didn’t know it could be a cute feature. an adorable one if he would say so himself. just seems too s o f t .

❀ your gentle voice always made his heart skip a beat, it was so calming. a remedy to his ears. after a few small talks and interactions, you both managed to hang out a little more often. being invited on study dates sessions since you were also pretty smart in the academics (brownie points!)

❀ as of right now, his eyes were simply glued on you. just watching you talk about whatever subject. he really wasn’t paying attention... or at all. admiring your features from across the small table on the floor that was littered with notebooks, textbooks, papers and pens.

❀ he knew you were shy so he often kept things low and safe for you whenever you both hung out once in awhile. sometimes exchanging little sticky notes with each other to limit talking.

❀ once he confessed to you, through the last sticky note of his. not a manly way to really confess but he couldn’t figure anything else out for you. didnt want to scare you away.

❀ you stared up at the captain in slight doubt, going back to the note to reread the words written. ‘would you like to go out with me?’ tiny hearts here and there on the note.

❀ looking back up at him, you noticed the slight blush across his face. you realized he was serious.

❀ “..why would you want to go out with me?” your grip on the note slightly tightened, as thoughts began to flood your mind. “wouldn’t it be better- be better with a girl?? a-and.. not me.” you began to slip on your words, gaze slipping down to avoid his eyes as you noticed him looking up at you now.

❀ “..with.. a girl?” Daichi mustered out.

❀ “or.. anyone but... me. I’m not.. popular. I’m not.. p-pretty, c-cute.. handsome.. s-smart either...” you began to ramble, negative thoughts after another.

❀ “H-hey y/n. y/n..!” Daichi was closer to you now, his hands on your shoulders hoping to get you out of your negative trance.

❀ it successfully worked, making you stop but your gaze still remain low. hearing a sigh from Daichi made you tensed, you liked him too. you loved him. but you don’t know if it was best for him to date you. or be in a relationship in that matter.

❀ Daichi wrapped his arms around you, “Don’t be so harsh to yourself. I denied most of the confessions... j-just.. to ask you out one day you know. I’m confident I want you more than any girl.” he muttered.

❀ noticing you relaxing in his arms made him slightly smile, feeling you hug back. your hands grasping the back of his gakuran, mustering the urge to cry you hid your face on his shoulders. eventually muffling out your soft sobs and various ‘i love you too’

𝙺𝚞𝚛𝚘𝚘:

𝚊/𝚗: 𝚐𝚘𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚐𝚒𝚏 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚖𝚎 𝚚𝚞𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐.

❀ it was obvious Kuroo was crushing on someone. and that someone was you. being one of the assistances, or at this point the team would’ve eventually called you their manager. often there to aid and help whenever needed so you stumbled by the gym many times to either drop something off for one of the members or coaches.

❀ always teasing and flirting with you, which wasn’t such an out-of-character of him. knowing him to be the master of provocation. but often when you weren’t there, he would start talking about you. unconsciously sometimes.

❀ which gave a big sign of his feelings, especially through Kenma. it wasn’t so hard to see, but you were dense and oblivious over it.

❀ he knew you liked him back eventually, seeing how you haven’t turned him down with any of his teases accompanied with the slight blush on your face each time. you were just too shy to say anything about it.

❀ he was aware that you were very shy and introverted. always seeing you staying back or infront of crowds in the hallway and avoided them at all costs. being observant he took note of it.

❀ always managing to catch you away from people or just a little people in the area, he used that time to talk to you more privately.

❀ you both began to get to know each other pretty well each time.

❀ exchanging interests and moments you’ve had in your life. often making you giggle at his silly retorts and remarks, funny moments of his teams and others. he was genuinely seeing a new side of you.

❀ never really seeing you smile brightly and laugh without holding back. it felt surreal and a literal dream.

❀ “Hey, y/n, have you dated anyone yet?” Kuroo looked over at you, eyes staring in curiosity with his common sly smirk.

❀ “I-.. uhh.. n-not yet?” you nervously laughed, messing with the sleeve of your nekoma track jacket.

❀ “Well then.. do you have a crush?” he continued on.

❀ “O-oh.. Ye-yeah! He probably won’t like me b-back though..” you murmured.

❀ “Wait- He!?”

❀ “H-hey,, Kuroo! Keep y-your voice down please..!!” you playfully punched his shoulder in return he faked an ‘ow’ “..b-but.. yes.. i like a guy.. h-he’s popular so i doubt he would like me b-back.” you looked up at him with a weak smile, hoping to not seemed phased by it.

❀ “Ahhh.. why’s that then.” his curious tone turned stern, tilting his head into his palm so it rested comfortably. “hmmm~?”

❀ “Oh.. w-well.. he’s popular with the girls.. a lot of them a-actually. I bet he l-likes them more than me.. girls are b-better for him anyways...”

❀ “What if they weren’t? He could be gay.. or bisexual... or pan and all that jazz y’know y/n?”

❀ “Thats true.. what about you kuroo-san?” you took a sip of water from your bottle aside of your thigh.

❀ “I have a crush too of course. And its actually you.”

❀ you choked on the water, coughing out a reply, “w-wait you.. you like me.. me- back?!” you only looked at him with disbelief, coughing slightly still.

❀ Kuroo only laughed at your off-guard reaction, “K-kuroo!! I-it’s not funnyyy..!” you whined, covering your face with your jacket. “hhhh.. g-god damnit..”

❀ after a few moments it went silently, peeking your eyes out from your hidden position Kuroo pecked your forehead. Suddenly aside of you, entwining his hand with yours.

❀ “Of course I like you back~ I want you to be my boyfriend you softie.”

Oh what the hell, thoughts and headcanons for You'll find out

• So I'm gonna be ragging on this poor film pretty hard, so let's start out positive and say that all of the bad guys in this are great-especially Professor Fenninger. I just really enjoy how despite what a silly film this is Peter, Bela and Boris take their roles as seriously as they would in a more dramatic film

• Considering I associate this film with the general theme of obnoxious vintage funnymen making dumb jokes about how spoopy Peter Lorre and similar actors who were typecast as horror guys are, Kay kyser is actually surprisingly enjoyable in this film. I mean I wouldn't be against some of his screen time being handed over to the bad guys or anything, but his reactions to the weirdness going on are actually pretty funny, especially with Aunt Margo at the beginning

• Speaking of, What's the deal with Aunt Margo when we first meet her? Just in the middle of a trance like that. Idk it's not like we don't see her in that state later in the film aswell or anything, but I feel like it would've worked better if she was acting normal till someone brought up the supernatural or Elmer and then she starts acting all weird maybe? Also did she wanna fuck Kay kyser?

• Yknow that Jim Carrey looking guy? Ish kebabble? I. Hate. Him. Soooooo much. It is unreal. He fills me with seething rage with every move he makes. I hate his stupid bowl cut, I hate his stupid dog, I hate that thing he does with his eyes. Stop fucking making that face you fuck! You are being confronted by the supernatural, show some godamn respect! Why did you survive!?

• Speaking of, if there was ever a film where im glad we don't actually see the bad guys die, is it ever this one, lemme tell you. Never have I wanted the villains to have faked their deaths and come back to triumph over the heros more

• Considering we never learn Professor Fenningers real name, I'm a big fan of him potentially being another character Peter Lorre played. I've suggested Gimpy and Cairo before, but maybe even Abbott? Ofc the problem with the Abbott theory is that he's from a pre-hays code film so his death is a lot more explicit and harder to write off as fake

• However, if he's not another Peter character, I HC Professors Fenningers real name to be Moritz Veidt. Just cause I like the way it sounds

• So we can all agree that Fenninger and Mainwaring are fucking right? My personal HC is that they're together and Saliano and Fenninger used to be an item and Saliano isn't over him. Either that or they're both his exes and Mainwaring has the distinction of being the one Fenninger is still kind of attracted to

• I'm a fan of the whole sequence when Ginny is singing 'I'd Know you anywhere' it's a lovely song, I like her voice and I enjoy the simple visuals of it cutting from her to the three villains. It's my favourite musical performance in the film and definitely my favourite scene focusing mainly on one of the nonvillain characters

• Can we talk about Janis finding out that Fenninger was the man creeping on her and Ginny getting changed and being like "Oh thank god, it was only you :)" like...bestie. Yeah, she doesn't know he was only checking to see if she's alive cause he wants her dead, but I don't care how much you think mysticism is bologna, you should not trust some guy you've never met before if the first interaction you two had was him climbing up your balcony and standing outside the transparent door of a room where you were changing just because you're hoping he'll callout your aunts medium for being a fraud

• I remember thinking what a casual that dude Kay Kyser had on his show was for not knowing "hi ho hi ho" was from snow-white since 'we all grew up with that film', then I remembered that dude was an adult when snow-white came out and I felt very strange thinking about just how old the film I was watching really was

I haven't seen the special episode yet and I probably will tomorrow but I completely understand why people dropped this series as it was...a shitshow. and given the poor handling of its subject matter I honest to god thinks this show ends up making the opposite point of what is should and that it actually sends a harmful message to teenage girls wrt authority figures.

I also retract any reccomendation I made of it and I apologize for doing so without finishing it. I really did not expect them to fuck it up this badly

tw for rape, suicide, csa, victim blaming under the cut

I can kind of see their main message (which is very simple - young girls, don't commit suicide, you will regret it, protect yourself) but it's so bogged down with confusing charcterization and choppy editing and baffling plot points that never get explained. the parallel universe thing was easily the least crappy decision the writers made for this show. and given the first episode, that's a massive letdown. the finale explained literally nothing, left a ton of plots open, and made me worry that rika is actually going to get killed and that momoe will never speak to the other girls again and neiru once again got nothing

and most importantly I do not understand the point of having the entire plot for ai build up around the idea that the teacher was grooming both ai and koito, and the heavy implication that he was molesting koito and that led directly to her suicide. but instead the message was "you were paranoid and suspicious and made yourself miserable thinking he hurt your friend but he was actually a nice guy and you were wrong the whole time" when realistically we saw NOTHING that absolved him and we didn't even had enough information about koito to understand why she'd kill herself?? given the fact that teachers and caregivers are the most likely to abuse children, and the difficulty many survivors (especially young teenagers) encounter about coming forward about (especially if they're authority figures) what the fuck kind of shitty cowardly message is that for the audience of presumably young teenage girls? if you suspect an authority figure but your mom likes him, then that means he's a safe person and you've been silly this whole time and also your friend who killed herself was a bad friend?? WHAT??

the fact that younger girls (like rika) see no problem with having a romance with a teacher is exactly part of why this mindset should not be encouraged and im baffled why, in-universe, the teacher got away with everything he may have done just bc the writers decided ai made up her own problems and doesn't need attention anymore and just has to "believe". like of course she needs attention! everyone does! you can't just decide not to want attention, you're only starving yourself and setting yourself up to fail! christ!

and I was lighter on criticizing how they portrayed sexual assault because I thought they'd actually deal with it with ai and koito but since they didn't, I have to say it felt very ugly how they used raped/molested girls and trans boys as angsty plot devices to make their protags look strong and save them. like the entire thing is baffling to the point of offense when you remove the fact that sawaki is just a nice guy who had a normal relationship with the girls even though he canonically had really creepy interactions with both of them. and im not even going to mention the plot they shoved into ep11 that explained literally nothing and made everything more confusing not to mention centered men and male grief for their fridged wife/daughter in a show that's supposed to be ABOUT girls

I am glad I watched this because I really enjoyed the characters (especially momoe and I don't want to detract from how special it was to see an explictly trans girl protag), the animation was beautiful, and I think it had great potential but I am never rewatching it because holy shit how do you mess up the point that fucking badly. I am actually. really angry with what this show did

#I knew my expectations were low but holy shit #'young girls you should ignore your instincts because your teacher is totally trustworthy'#who wrote this #wep lb

Who We Were

This took a good long while because there was a retcon in November of 2015 that kinda forced Risri into hiatus. When I brought her back for the paper in 2016, some details changed but still this was an eye-opening exercise of how I’ve grown as both an RPer and a writer. Anything that does not have brackets is the same.

Take a trip down memory lane, pull up the oldest ‘about’ post you can find for your character, and annotate what has changed and what has stayed the same in {Curly brackets}.

(I borrowed this from @alyssa-ward because what a cool exercise)

Originally posted October 4, 2015

Character’s full name: Risri Elthron Reason or meaning of name: combination of Mother's best friend's name (still alive) and her mother's sister who died - Rislana (best friend) and Kiari (sister). The Elthron family have mostly played a back seat in the history of the Kaldorei. {Both of these origins have kind of changed. Risri’s name became a place that her parents named her after, something that was important to her father’s family in an RP with her aunt. The last name Elthron was chosen by Risri during her exile her original family name is Kal’serrar.} Character’s nickname: Ris Reason for nickname: just a short form of Risri

Physical appearance

Age: 403 {she has aged 1 rl year each year since 2015 she is currently 408 years old} How old does he/she appear: to a human about 20ish {I actually think now she probably seems a little older to people) Weight: We don't ask ladies this! Though she looks healthy and toned. {I figure she’s whatever the average weight is for female elves} Height: Average for a Kaldorei {This has changed a bit. I have her just a tad shorter than Dragaur in human form so she’s 6’2” which apparently is short for an elf} Body build: She's not a body builder but her activities keep her in shape. Shape of face: Typical Kaldorei {She did not have a face claim at the time nor did she have art. Her face looks like this art the most.}

Eye color: White {I list it as silver now} Glasses or contacts: none Skin tone: light purplish Distinguishing marks: Claw tattoo (gained during her Druid initiation ceremony) Hair color: Purple Type of hair: Long Hairstyle: up in a ponytail or straight down her back {when I first made Risri I had her in the pigtail hair style. I quickly didnt like how it looks and changed it to the long style she sports now. It has not changed since} Voice: typically soft {I imagine her voice and accent a bit like Gal Gadot’s natural voice} Overall attractiveness: again not really caught up in her appearance so someone may need to tell her and even then she will more than likely blush and stammer a thank you. {This has changed so so much from when I first created her. She knows she is lovely and she will probably think you want something from her if you flatter her appearance.} Physical disabilities: none Usual fashion of dress: For events: dresses...she has discovered she likes pretty pretty dresses. For class: simple black pants and a simple shirt {So this too has changed from when I first created her. She aims for comfort and style. She most often will be found in one of these} Favorite outfit: Dresses, she found a lovely gold and white dress that has become her favorite {I dont even know what dress this was but Im sure it was something from my early days on wra-I would say her favorite outfit is probably one of the ones above} Jewelry or accessories: She wears a button on a string around her neck. She fondles it every so often. {The button on a string has actually moved to her bag, she now sports a ruby necklace from Dragaur, her bracelet with several charms on it, and always has her camera}

Personality

Alignment: Good {I think I would classify Risri now as more neutral these days} Good personality traits: Loves animals, children, books, meeting new people (even though she can be shy, she enjoys it), giving, loyal {This is all true except for the shyness, I don’t actually rp Risri as shy. She may be standoffish but thats cause IRL I am shy but Risri most definitely has no fear of talking to people} Bad personality traits: shyness can sometimes stop her from joining in, when she is caught up in research she may ignore others not to be hurtful she just gets caught up {I think this one goes with the other, as for bad traits today, I usually say she can be stuck in her ways at times and can be over protective} Mood character is most often in: happy {I would say this is still true but she’s had her share of pain} Sense of humor: silly things make her laugh {Not so much silly things but she definitely has a more snarky is funny sense of humor} Character’s greatest joy in life: running in the forest as a cat {Taking pictures and being a druid are equal} Character’s greatest fear: the death of her mother {This has actually come out in RP as a fear of mind control. She would fear the death of her mother but mind control tops it.} Why? Her mother and her are very close (unusual for Kaldorei, as they grow up communally typically), travelling with her mother in her formative years they relied upon each other What single event would most throw this character’s life into complete turmoil? Ris would be devastated if something happened to her mother {I think the death of Latilda, and then when she thought Dragaur was dead, and subsequently the death of Suzi in the office are three of the most profound things that made Risri change some. Her fel contamination would come a close fourth Currently, if something was to really happen to Dragaur, Sky, or Selise it would mess up Risri for a while} Character is most at ease when: Researching {Funnily enough this might still be true, but I would say taking pictures is probably more} Most ill at ease when: at war {This is true, but as she found out both at Darkshore and recently when there are forsaken involved she has no hesitation in killing.} Enraged when: witnessing senseless destruction of sacred places or artifacts {I completely forgot that I chose that, but I would say it has not changed. She also does not stand for people she cares about being hurt, this one is tricky though and I often have to tame it down because of interactions with others.} Depressed or sad when: she is a pretty positive individual, depression and sadness are fleeting if they happen at all. {This has matured over time. She gets very introspective at times and definitely will seek alone time when she is sad.} Priorities: Learn about as many cultures as she can, current focus is Treants. {So long ago… Her priorities currently are her studio, Dragaur, and helping the Kaldorei still homeless.} Life philosophy: Learn, Learn, Learn then share it all! {This was definitely written back in my Stormwind University days. Her philosophy “Be kind. It’s worthwhile to make an effort to learn about other people and figure out what you might have in common with them.”} Character’s soft spot: her Sprite Darter "Flutter" {Also a certain worgen} Is this soft spot obvious to others? Sometimes {while I dont play it up too much she is very attached to Flutter. As for the worgen, yes when they are together it is clear she has a soft spot for the gruff one} Greatest strength: Passion for learning {This is probably still true but I would say she also is a pretty good photographer and a loyal friend.} Greatest vulnerability or weakness: Naivety of how the world really works even though she has travelled the two main continents extensively she has been sheltered by her mother. {This was one of the things I retconned out of her when I brought her back for the paper. Risri may be unknowing of some human interactions but she is far from naive in most cases.} Biggest regret: That one time at band camp...seriously she is young so right now she doesn't have one but this may play into her development and story later. {HUGE change here... in fleshing her out in RP the biggest regret is and always will be the incident that forced her out of the Sentinels but not the results because it let her become a druid so its a double edged regret} Minor regret: she forgot to tell her mom about the time she ...oh that might not be appropriate for here {Again a change that came about from RP, that she threatened Dragaur with turning him in. She would never do that and she said it in a moment of frustration with him during a fight. It hurt them both too much.} Biggest accomplishment: coming soon {Running the paper. Opening her studio. either} Minor accomplishment: joining the University! {so many things, her writings, some of her photographs, saving people at Teldrassil, helping the Kaldorei in Stormwind.} Past failures he/she would be embarrassed to have people know about: she was almost not able to become a druid...story for another time {This also changed with the retcon, but I would say the time she spent before coming to Stormwind would be something she would not want others to know about and will probably not talk about to anyone.} Why? She loves being a druid so not being one… {I have thoughts about what she was doing but its not fleshed out. Maybe someday and I can revisit this.} Character’s darkest secret: She is a pretty open book. Maybe later she will have a "dark" secret. {So this dark secret is the fact that she killed 10 Sentinels. That also came with the revamp.} Does anyone else know? {Several people.}

Goals

Drives and motivations: Curiosity unusual for a Kaldorei and need to have answers to questions { I would say this is somewhat still there and aided her when she was a reporter, but her drives and motivations are deeper now and the result of RP. She wants to make amends and sees her work with the Kaldorei refugees as part of that.} Immediate goals: Make friends with the treant she met at the Grove of Ancients {Keep her business running, aid the Kaldorei} Long term goals: Become an expert in as many cultures as she can {Live} How the character plans to accomplish these goals: Locate writings and interviewing others, spending time with treants ((her contact will be sending her around Azeroth and Draenor to meet with others)) {So her plan for her immediate goals are tied together. She takes a good portion of her profits from the studio and the two books she’s published to fund her relief efforts} How other characters will be affected: may be pestered for any little detail they have about treants {Most of the people she interacts with in RP would not be impacted.}

Past

Hometown: Darnassus {God I was such a noob. Feralas is her home.} Type of childhood: travelled both continents with her mother {so noob. She spent her youth in Feralas, Ashenvale, and Darkshore.} Pets: Sprite Darter named Flutter and a curious little white kitten {I retconned the kitten. Its only Flutter} First memory: Leaves above her (could be why she is fascinated with the treants...) {I think I’ll leave this one.} Most important childhood memory: Her and her mother on a ship talking into the night {This can stay too} Why? The closeness she felt to her mother {Because of this reason}

Present

Current location: Elwynn Forest, Jazimina Amberstill's "Ranch" {Stormwind City, either Dragaur’s apartment or her studio} Currently living with: Jazimina Amberstill and Ritti {Dragaur} Pets: Sprite Darter "Flutter" Religion: Follower of Elune {no change, add wild gods} Occupation: Researcher {Photographer} Finances: moderate {no change though she has more wealth than she lets on}

Family

Mother: Kahrysta Elthron {Oh wow I totally changed her mother’s name.. Its Alistra Kal’serrar } Relationship with her: good {excellent} Father: Brezlin Elthron Relationship with him: vague memories, he died when she was still a child Siblings: none Relationship with them: Spouse: none Relationship with him/her: Children: none {though she briefly adopted Ritti before they found the gnome’s family} Relationship with them: Other important family members: Mother's best friend Rislana is like an aunt {her aunt Tara, cousins, and another aunt I dont have a name for.}

Favorites

Color: Green and Purple {blues could be added} Least favorite color: Orange {sorry Drag, but I dont think its true anymore} Music: any Food: Chocolate Cookies {See answer here} Literature: Any Form of entertainment: stories {plays, dances could be added} Expressions: "Indeed!" {Its not often I get to use it but I do like it} Mode of transportation: Winterspring Frostsaber, given to her by her mother when she hit adulthood (about 50 years ago) or flight form {Flight form. The frostsaber went away in the retcon} Most prized possession: her journal {Camera}

Habits

Hobbies: Dabbles in alchemy {more than dabbles now} Plays a musical instrument? No Plays a sport: no How he/she would spend a rainy day: reading a book, any book {taking pictures} Spending habits: thrifty {for herself this is probably true, for others she can be extravagant} Smokes: no Drinks: not normally {no change, but she will drink} Other drugs: no What does he/she do too much of? Read {Take pictures} What does he/she do too little of? Socialize just for fun {This is probably more true now since giving up the paper} Extremely skilled at: Keeping a team alive when faced with challenges when exploring {Photography, writing could be added} Extremely unskilled at: a lot of things but she does hate cooking {LIES...I retconned this. She loves to cook. I don’t know...but I am sure there is something. It would probably be something she doesn’t do and has no desire to do.} Nervous tics: not sure someone may need to point that out to her {She plays with the bracelet on her wrist when she’s nervous. } Usual body posture: relaxed and happy Mannerisms: polite {extremely so} Peculiarities: … {hmm, I am sure there are some that have manifested over the five years I’ve been RPing her. Perhaps how she will always address a human as their full name unless she has been asked not to and will still use Ms. Mrs. Miss. Mr. with that name unless she feels close to you.}

Traits

Optimist or pessimist: Optimist Introvert or extrovert: Introvert until she gets to know you then she might not be quiet {I would say shes more mixed now.} Daredevil or cautious?: A little of both Logical or emotional: Emotional {probably more mixed now though she can be emotional she just normally doesn’t let it show unless she is very comfortable with you} Disorderly and messy or methodical and neat: somewhere in between, depends on how wrapped up she is in her research but she does have a habit of cleaning up if there is a mess { I would say she is very neat. Sky drives her crazy.} Prefers working or relaxing: working {definitely would say this is still true} Confident or unsure of himself/herself: unsure internally, others probably see her as confident {a little of this still lingers but unless you are close to her you wont see it} Animal lover: indeed

Self-Perception

How he/she feels about himself/herself: an introvert who is more bookish than social {This is still kinda true.} One word the character would use to describe self: shy {Quiet} One paragraph description of how the character would describe self: A passionate learner and studier of peoples, loves animals, enjoys outdoors, and exploring is exciting. {A memory keeper, lover of animals and the outdoors, her passion for photography as a way to preserve memories is high.} What does the character consider his/her best personality trait? her passion for learning {her compassion for others} What does the character consider his/her worst personality trait? her shyness ((its all in her head too, she really can be quite un-shy when meeting new races or investigating something though in social entertainment type situations she is at a loss)) {so retconned, she would say her possessiveness when it comes to the people she cares about.} What does the character consider his/her best physical characteristic? She is unaware of her appearance most of the time {She likes her hair.} What does the character consider his/her worst physical characteristic? She hates her feet...not really {I’ll keep this if only cause I dont know} How does the character think others perceive him/her: She sometimes thinks too much about this and sometimes it doesn't bother her at all {She is very conscious of being a Kaldorei business woman in a human society. She strives to show that her people are trustworthy and kind.} What would the character most like to change about himself/herself: her shyness {Since I retconned the shyness...I don’t know...Risri believes she can be a better person but its something that you work on each day.}

Relationships with others

Opinion of other people in general: opportunity to learn {She is still curious about others and likes people watching. She thinks most people are good at heart.} Does the character hide his/her true opinions and emotions from others: hmm, I think this will depend upon the relationship and situation {Oh most definitely, this was honed during her time as a reporter where she hid a lot of her thoughts about things.} Person character most hates: no one (yet) {Elyza Morrowbranch} Best friend(s): her mother / Jazi {Sky Stoneseat} Love interest(s): none (yet) {Dragaur} Person character goes to for advice: her mother / Dean Crowelley { Dragaur, Sky, Selise} Person character feels responsible for or takes care of: Ritti {Dragaur, Sky } Person character feels shy or awkward around: cute boys...oh ok anyone in an entertainment social situation, when she is meeting others for what she calls "research" she emulates her mother's ambassador ways as much as possible {So such a noob. She really doesn’t except older Kaldorei...she worries what they know of her past.} Person character openly admires: her mother and Rislana Silverwind {Who is Rislana Silverwind omg I totally forgot this was a thing. Will have to think of someone else as Rislana is a Draenei now. As for who she admires? Her mother, Selise, Sky, Eilithe, Feyawen, Anegorn, and a few others.} Person character secretly admires: Dean Crowelley {I don’t think there is anyone she secretly admires, if she likes you, you know.} Most important person in character’s life before story starts: her mother After story starts: Ritti, Jazi, and the university faculty {Dragaur, Sky, Selise}

If you made it here thanks for looking at the changes of Risri over the course of the last five years. Its been a long, strange, crazy trip but I wouldn’t change much about it. If you want to do this, I encourage you to! And tag me cause I wanna read!

Shipping Info Meme

Answer the following for your muse so people know how shipping works on your blog.

Oh boy, this is going to be wordy. Placing this under a read more.

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER?:

I have like a few in terms of Romantic. My Caius, branching into canon and uncanon:

- Caius and Yeul: Not romantically, familial PLATONIC - my boy is not a map, do not confuse this shit as romantic. I enjoy this ship because there will only be a few times you get to see Caius be gentle. Understanding and protective of Yeul. Sadly I don't have a Yeul to do longterm plotting on what could be so I don't sadly get to flesh out what could be with the characters. So the ship has ended but still a fave.

- Caius and Moana: Another familial platonic. Another huge ship I've had on my blog for like a year or two, it’s not hugely advertised but something you’ll see on my blog. Now I and the mun have already talked about the prospects of this ship and how amazing it will be. Caius being like a secondary dad, who trains and prepares Moana seemingly boring things, but pays off in the end. Watching as she grows up, maturing into a woman and later into a chief. It’s like watching your garden just grow into a fabulous array of colours of vivid beauty, swirling into a radiant cosmos beyond the blackness betwixt stars. Im, sure there will be fluff and a lot of angst into this though. But I think Caius would be proud but at the same time at peace seeing her grow up. Though it's amusing she hit him with a paddle though lol. But still the mun/ muse are a complete gourmet coffee ( equivalent to cinnamon); made from the finest ingredients, warmed to delightful temperature and quite welcomed at any time of the day. To this ii’ll add @blessedbycrystal and @indrikis as well @oceanschiild

- Caius and Fujin: Ah yes the potato and eggplant curry. I and the mun have completely made so many routes, alternatives and main that we wish to explore. Even work extensively on the development of the characters, marking down all fluff and angst, anything between. We plotted heavily made headcanons on our ships that we’ve now plotted and every now and then would publish lol ( i know it's my turn to make something lol). The soulmate AU is probably the longest au we’ve had for like 3 -4 years now? and then we’ve decided to release a Pacific Rim AU we’ve cooked up. Another amusing factor is that none of the characters did like another - at all by any means when we started it. It was just insane indifferent between the other like, whatever let's keep this moving, don't know don't care - how they're pretty invested in another now is quite amusing. So much how its funny how to stoic people interact with another is quite interesting. @fujxn

- Caiu and Alex: We’ve sunk so much time into this ship. Despite the opposite personalities they’ve become a long way actually until now and made a lot of progress. So far its been under the opposites attract rule so far quite a lot of silliness involved lol but it works well with what is given with the ship. A lof cat beats person up, and also dealing with Alex’s episode of insomnia as well! You’ll probably find a lot of cooking to be more involved with this ship than any other ones I feel since you may end up seeing them owning a cooking store. @blessedfate

- Caius and Kuvira: PROBABLY A BAD SHIP XD not bad as in bad - but Kuvira is just so salty and unyielding. Though the hate is subtly dying down thus far but Kuvira still - well going to be kuvira. The ship is a slow burner but I and the mun have talked extensively about the ship. Though kuvira still does throw rocks at him - and to this day still tries her best to man-handle him despite him literally towering over her all the time. The crack episode between the two is great and you can tell that despite some of the vitriol - there is some fun. All the hate is just one sided on Kuvira’s side and Caius either doesn't care or doesn't know, which might explain is indifferent. Thought I think this may be why its just hard to make him into an enemy when he doesn't see you worth holding a grudge on really. When it comes between who is the queen of pettiness; between all my ships I think I’ll crown Kuvira for this one lol. @thegreatunxter

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO WRITE WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?

Anything. Relationships aren’t static, people’s lives have dynamic changes and events that influence their behaviour on a regular basis. I am a huge fan of exploring the development of the bond they have. Come at me with domestic events, angst, supporting each other through trouble, courting, you name it.

I’m open to anything. Relations are especially hard to get, familial takes time to build up to but I suggest long as the ship is dynamic than it’ll work just fine - coupled with chemistry on both sides. I am quite open to exploration of any angle, angst, fluff and anything in between.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

Strongly prefer in the 20′s + I know 18 is like you’re a legal status, however, my muse is immortal. Your muse practically will be dating an ancient relict from the past, or some old bottled wine that’s aged wonderfully.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?

Yes with romantic, no isues with platonic. Let this be hewn into your minds. Caius isn't mean for everyone. There is a lot of issues involving Caius that I've heard and aware - he’s slow to open up, he's cold, he doesn't act like he likes this person, he acts heartless and many more. It’s a list really and probably won't express this. If you are coming with these expectations of my muse, he is not for you. If you want something fast and simple relationship between the two - he’s just not for you in that matter. He’s a man that’s been through a lot and probably very slow of just opening up to people.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFW?

Moment clothes come off or when touching goes elsewhere. However, if its kept fade to black then that is fine.

WHO ARE OTHER THE CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?

I don't really have many romantics for Caius like that anymore but I guess; Caius/ Light ( my interest in Cairai is meh after 5 years) Caius/ Fang (not as bad as Cairai but its okay).

In terms of Platonic, anyone really - Caius even extends his hand to welcome you.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?:

Yes, I would greatly prefer you bring this to many attention so we can talk about it and what not. That and give you details so we can disillusion any expectations and come to a realistic circumstance. That or normally just AU’s.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?

Not as much as you would think really, I usually do some looking into before I seal the deal. That and im not so hyperactive due to work so - im just a ghost somewhat lol.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?:

Depends really, if something is convincing and has me enjoying it’s possible I could become ship obsessed. But now these days Nah not so much, maybe I was more prone to like a few years back now.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?

Of course, im open to anything just as you should have your own parents. I only ask if there is an issue you bring up to me. I thought I would be doing single ship - hmmm haven't found a person I could rest my laurels on like that really, That and im slow in responses now these days.

WHAT IS/ARE YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP(S) IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:

Garnet/ Zidane, Yuna/Tidus, I do like 9S/2B as well very good combo. All I could think of that interested me

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:

Ask

Tagged by: @asouldivided , Moonpie guy

Tagging: anyone really

rules for interacting w/ me and my blog + requesting

a few rules for my blog, if you are unable to follow these rules please, feel free to leave! nonetheless, it would be a pleasure if you could read them, lovelies!

DON’T COME COMPLAINING IF I SINK A SHIP. *nervous laughter* Yes, I will be sinking ships because these are mostly romantic x readers. So PLEASE don’t kill me for sinking spideychelle when I do a Peter Parker x Reader, or when I break Hinny when I do a Harry Potter x Reader!

I ACCEPT ONE-SHOT REQUESTS BUT I CAN’T UPDATE EVERY DAY. I’m sorry but, ya know, college, exams and on top of that my adhd. I hate them too… So I’m sorry if my updates aren’t in a regular pattern !

NO SMUT. I don't write any smut, and I will not accept any nsfw requests... unless you're one of my irl besties. then duhrrr.

NO [ CHARACTER ] X OC. I have read a lot of x readers up till now, and most of them have [character] x OC when I strongly dislike. Not all people can read that, because it is directed only at a specific reader, and all the other fangirls can’t enjoy it!

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL look, im a simple person and I don't want any drama. be civilised, and if there's any issues we can handle it like adults. at least, if you aren't a five year old. if you are, go back to watching cocomelon on youtube kids. I beg of you.

I WILL WRITE FOR BOTH PLATONIC AND ROMANTIC SHIPS

I WILL DENY ANY REQUESTS I AM UNCOMFROTABLE WITH look, I'm a human too, ain't I? If I don't like a particular request, I will deny it without missing a beat.

DO NOT BE AFRAID OR SHY TO INTERACT WITH ME! bestie, I'm a timid girl, who would LOVE to make friends with anyone who wants! I would be honored if you sent me silly and short asks like 'hru' or even headcannons you love!

IF YOU WANNA BE FRIENDS just text me about your day, how you've been, or any drama, cos I love speaking to people <3 you will forever be my mutual, then! last updated on 25/10/22

DISTINGUISHING MARKS: A little beauty mark by her eye.

She’s known to have a lovely singing voice and to be rather skilled at the piano, as well as being a big bookworm.

LANGUAGES: Common tongue.

RESIDENCE: A manor belonging to her viscount father in Ishgard. Belle’s parents are known for being rather paranoid about their daughter being taken advantage of, and as such, the girl is rarely allowed to leave the family home for any reason other than arranged social engagements, such as balls or dinner parties.

possible hooks ––––

Ishgardian nobles and courtiers from all houses - It would be nice to establish some friends, rivals, etc. in that particular territory. Though she is rather restricted to her ivory tower, Belle does frequent balls. Maybe your character has noticed the beautiful Haillenarte girl with a constantly full dance card and stunning gowns, or she’s offered a smile or kind word to the help at the parties, even lingering for some polite conversation.

Poets, writers, musicians, publishers, bards, literary enthusiasts - Belle is a lover of all of the arts. Though she has lead a rather sheltered life, her parents have allowed her to frequently go to the ballet, opera, and general theatre to see plays. She’s a bleeding heart romantic and will devour any romantic poetry or novels that come her way. It’s kind of set some unrealistic expectations for actual romance in her life. Real boys aren’t usually like book boys.

Ishgardian bachelors - Juliette de Haillenarte has been hellbent on marrying off her only child to an eligible and wealthy bachelor from a friendly house. Belle couldn’t be less enchanted by this notion. Maybe you’ve heard of the string of suitors chased off by the young lady and your character has a mind to try their hand at charming the uncharmable.

Florists, apothecaries, hired help at the estate - Maybe you’ve a stablehand who has heard the sweet voice of the daughter of Viscount Hallenarte’s floating down from the tower while you work. Maybe you’re a florist she’s placed a large flower order to, or an apothecary she’s snuck letters to to ask questions regarding medicinal herbs and flowers. Even though most of Belle’s interactions would have been with other nobles, I, by no means, want to bar her from common folk! If you have any ideas of how your commoner character knows her, or at least knows of her, I’d love to hear them!

Teachers and nannies - Belle has had an expensive education. If you play a character who may have been a tutor in Ishgard while she was growing up, then they would know she’s a very clever curious, and intelligent girl with a thirst for knowledge.

what I’m looking for ––––

I don’t need a free company as I am already in one! However, I am definitely looking for a fun pool of RP contacts for this character. She can easily jump from comic relief to more serious plots, and I’d love to do both and everything in between. Belle is in need of friends, rivals, confidantes, and new experiences. Help her sneak out, dance with her at a party, be a jealous fellow highborn, a jilted suitor - I’m willing to explore most hooks with Belle.

A sidenote: For comic relief alone, I’d be kind of tickled to have a Gaston from Beauty and the Beast type character hounding Belle.I did draw some character inspiration from that movie (can you tell?) and it’s a trope I think would be a lot of fun to explore. We could take it to dark places if you wanted, too! Like I said, I’m pretty open to ideas and few things are off limits.

oocly, I am ––––

In a relationship! Despite Belle’s mother wanting an arranged marriage, she is not a character that is available for romance RP. She will be shipped with my boyfriend’s noble Elezen character. :) That’s not to say that I’m not totally cool with silly suitor RP or even genuine crushes on her being developed. Just please understand that they can’t go anywhere!

Excited to play this type of character and eager to meet people who will fit in with my character and my boyfriend’s character.

Open to darker themes within reason. (No RPing out of rape or harming children in any way, but everything else should be fair game. If you have any questions or concerns, just ask!)

Sort of a night owl (as far as NA times go)

Friendly and happy to answer questions and plot! Throw all the plots at me. Pre-established relationships are totally cool with me, too!

you can contact me via ––––

Tumblr IM - this is my preferred method of communication and my most reliable one!

In Game: Belle Haillenarte

She’ll be getting her own sideblog ASAP!

RxR One-Shot: Game Support

R&R request: Rocket being a sore loser while playing 8bit video games.

Requested by @nzbeans. Thanks for the prompt and I hope you enjoy the product! Words: 1990

Neither you nor Rocket were impressed when Peter and Drax lugged the heavy arcade machine into the already cramped common area of the Milano, but for different reasons.

It had been many years since you left Earth, but still, this technology would have been outdated, then. By the time Quill finished troubleshooting power adapters and figured out how to turn the damn thing on, you had already lost interest and had gone back to pretending not to watch Rocket work, an idle pen and blank writing pad in your hands.

“Just like the arcades on Earth, right Y/N?” Quill called, presenting the machine with enthused arm gestures. You tried not to grimace at the flickering screen and scraped off paint. Static-filled, elongated beeps that you recognized as “retro” music echoed through the room as the start screen loaded. You noted that the machine couldn’t even manage drum sounds and was limited to using varying pitches of static bursts to carry a beat.

“Sure thing,” you said, barely managing to curl your lips into a smile for him. Your mild reaction did little to lessen your fellow Terran’s spirits, though, as he fumbled about the machine, trying to start a game.

“How is this supposed to be a game?” Drax asked, reviewing the buttons and joysticks. “It has more controls than your flight console.“

“It’s not that complicated, Drax,” Peter said, trying each button, “it’s just a two-player game.”

“Quill,” you pointed to the screen. He looked at you and then to what you were pointing at. “It needs coins.”

Sure enough, the words ‘insert 2 coins’ flashed on both halves of the screen. Peter slammed his hands on the side (not too roughly, not to damage the game) and hung his head.

“What, like, money?” Rocket asked. When you looked at him, he was looking at you with his ears perked up inquisitively, making your throat tighten with the restraint to point out how cute he looked. Fortunately for you, his attention turned to Peter. “Didn’t you already have to pay to own the d’ast thing?”

“Do you have to pay a fee every time you wish to play it?” Drax asked.

Peter ran a hand over his eyes and down his face.

“Yep,” he muttered, letting the ‘p’ sound pop. Beside you, Rocket ‘tch’d and got back to work.

You found yourself pitying Peter at the sound of his disappointed tone. Aside from his mom, his movies, and his music, Peter didn’t seem to have many happy memories of Earth. Here was one more artifact from his childhood that he actually appreciated, and he wouldn’t even be able to interact with it. Not to mention, the others were bound to give him crap for paying for a machine that he couldn’t even use.

“I thought games were supposed to be enjoyable?” Drax mused - at least, you assumed he was musing. “I would not want to play a game that makes me work this hard.”

“It’s not supposed to be work,” Quill hunched over the machine, “It’s supposed to be fun…”

“You Earth-ers have strange ideas about fun,” Drax commented and shook his head.

“Wait,” you said, standing from your seat and leaving empty page and diversion pen behind. “Maybe there are coins in it?”

The look of anticipation that full-grown man gave you made you hope you weren’t getting his hopes up only to make him pout and cry if the machine turned out to be empty.

You wandered closer as Peter darted around the machine, searching for an opening. You didn’t expect to be of any help, but, you hoped to be supportive, nonetheless. After a minute of fumbling, Peter’s increasing desperation made you anxious.

An idea occurred to you. It was a terrible idea, one that you dreaded and feared. If anyone could take apart the machinery and get to any Terran money, inside, you-know-who could. But, you didn’t want to tear this person away from their work for such a silly task.

Tentatively, you tested your eyes in his direction and tensed to see him already looking back at you. You didn’t even get to open your mouth when he flattened his ears and rolled his head back with what you hoped was an exaggerated groan.

“Fine, ya bunch of babies. Let me at it.” He stood and almost seemed to strut across the floor to the machine. “If there’s money in there, I’ll get it out.” He winked at you with a cocky grin as he passed, making you wish to either see that a million more times or to have never seen it at all because you were sure your face was changing colour with how hot it had become. Why did he have to be so cool all the time, especially when he didn’t seem to take well to your admiration or affection?

You and Quill watched Rocket anxiously as he inspected the machine, but for different reasons. Peter awaited Rocket’s appraisal, hoping to indulge in some feeling of nostalgia, while you were just on edge, hoping that Rocket wouldn’t get frustrated by this machine.

Your fears proved unwarranted within a couple minutes as Rocket had a panel removed, grumbling things like “guarded like a toy,” and “babies’ stuff.” A few coins spilled on to the floor, and Peter rushed to scoop a handful of coins still in the box.

“Hey, how much is this worth, in units?” Rocket asked, looking interested now that currency was involved.

“Not much - probably nothing, in fact,” you said, picking up a coin of your own.

“What?!”

“They’re tokens,” you explained. “They’re only used for games like this one.”

“Unbelievable,” Rocket shook his head and crossed his arms, twitching an ear. “Well, you Terrans have fun.”

“What do you say, Y/N? Care to verse me in a fighting match?” Quill smirked at you and inserted tokens into both sides without waiting for an answer. Apparently, he assumed you’d be just as excited as he was. You weren’t. The game was an old, two-dimensional fighting game. You knew the franchise, but wouldn’t say you were inclined to play such an old version of the game.

However, Rocket was watching and, after he had been kind enough to help, you wanted to show your appreciation. Besides, no one else seemed interested in playing Quill’s new game (save for Drax, who shifted slightly at the words “fighting match.”)

“Ah,” you stammered, “a few rounds couldn’t hurt.”

You picked a character that you hoped would accommodate your gaming style, though you doubted you even still had a gaming style after all these years. Peter surprised you by picking a female character, until you realized how hot she was.

Quill picked the arena and round one began. The controls were tricky, at first. On Earth, you played games at home, mostly, using your own controller. Having to stand close to your opponent to compete, along with the stubborn stiffness of the analog stick and strange flatness of the buttons were all foreign to you. Quill won without much competition.

“Oh, boy, Y/N,” Rocket’s dispirited voice sounded from close, beside you, nearly making you jump. Sucky as you were, you were too engaged with the game to notice him move.

You met round two with some improvement after adjusting to the controls. You lost, again, but you were pleased to find the game fun. The combination of moves were not as simple as you expected them to be and the animations were satisfying every time you landed a hit.

Above all, it was comforting to read text that was actually from Earth, again. By now, you had become accustomed to translators and managed to pick up a little of the Xandarian language, but a strange sense of familiarity overcame you at the sight of English words, unsullied by translator or incomprehension.

“Oof,” Rocket sounded from beside you, again, as he peeked through his fingers at the screen. Your face burned, both from the flattery that Rocket was trying to cheer you on and the embarrassment of losing in front of him.

When you lost for a third time, Peter laughed and taunted you.

“What’s the matter, Y/N? I thought you said you used to play all kinds of video games!”

You weren’t at all provoked at the man’s bravado, just happy the game was over with, but your hot-headed, sole spectator was.

“These are all close-quarters battles. Y/N’s not a punch-punch kind of person!” Rocket snapped at Quill before you could excuse yourself. “I bet I could beat ya.”

“You?” Peter guffawed.

“What’re you laughing at?” Rocket barked and stepped on top of the machine so he could reach the buttons. “It’s a fighting game, so, I bet I could beat ya. You want me to punch you in the actual throat or just in the game?”

“Maybe you would like to practice, first?” you offered, but Peter was quick to insert some tokens and start a new game. How quickly situations tended to spiral beyond your control while you were with these guardians.

Since Rocket was standing on the console, you didn’t need to move out of the way for him and simply stood behind him. His tail dangled in front of you. His ears perked at the game’s sounds just in front of your nose. You worried that he’d feel it if you breathed too hard, and wondered at how he was comfortable being so close.

While Rocket was quick to catch on to the controls, he clearly didn’t have any video game sense. The concepts of hit boxes, impossible movements, and recovery times were unknown to him. You wanted to support and encourage him, but he often interrupted any attempt you had at speech with a string of curses.

“You could do a practice round, if you wanted?” you were quick to suggest after the first round.

“Nah, he’s just gettin’ lucky,” Rocket glanced over his shoulder at you and you tried to clear your features of concern as you knew he didn’t like that. “Besides, I gotta make up for your losses.”

Okay, you didn’t know what he meant by that.

Round two was no better than round one. If anything, Rocket’s gaming got worse as he got frustrated.

“Damnit!” he hollered. “This wouldn’t happen in a real fight - I’d never forget how to jump out of the way, I’d just do it!”

“You’re doing well for your first time,” you remarked, regretting having done so, immediately. Your ring-tailed friend growled at you.

“I don’t need your patronizing shit right now!”

“Hey, man! She’s just trying to support you!” Peter defended you. “Better than what you were doing,” he added in a mutter.

“What?!” Rocket barked, “You didn’t hear me talkin’ down to ‘er!”

That was when you realized that Rocket’s commentary on your losing streak was his way of showing support. In front of you, Peter and Rocket’s argument, fueled by their naturally competitive relationship, was reaching threatening heights. You smiled, regardless, tapping Rocket on the shoulder and rejoicing when he only twitched at your touch, unlike the usual flinch or snap.

“Why don’t I teach you how to play this kind of game,” you asked, inappropriately chipper, “and, maybe, you can teach me how you knew how to open this thing up?”

Rocket gaped at you, a moment, his hands and body suggesting that he was still raring for a fight, but his eyes displayed confliction.

At the sight of your cheerful expression, he shrugged and relaxed. Peter backed away, seizing the opportunity to run from a potentially bad argument.

“Fine,” he said, “but it’s gonna take a lot longer for you to teach me this,” he warned and, at first, you thought he was having a rare fit of modesty. But, then, he added, “Because I’m the best at breakin’ stuff out, whereas you’re not much better’n me at this game.”

COMIC TEA PARTY- WEEK LONG BOOK CLUB START!

Hello and welcome everyone to Comic Tea Party’s Week Long Book Club~! This week we’ll be focusing on Raison d’Etre by Cloud Fourteen (Funari & Leigh)~! (http://raisondetrecomic.com/)

You are free to read and comment about the comic all week at your own pace, so stop on by whenever it suits your schedule! Remember, though, that while we allow constructive criticism, our focus is to have fun and appreciate the comic. Below you will find four questions to get you started on the discussion. However, a new question will be posted and pinned everyday (between 12:01AM and 6AM PST), so keep checking back for more! You have until March 17th to tell us all your wonderful thoughts! With that established, let’s get going on the reading and the chatting!

QUESTION 1. What has been your favorite scene in the comic so far? What specifically did you like about it?

QUESTION 2. What do you believe are the nature and origin of Sachiko’s secret powers that make her Kregor’s target? What, if anything, might they have to do with Allie? What about the powers has supposedly killed Sachiko’s ancestors?

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Yo! Funari here and I will make the time to check on messages this week when I can! Leigh and I will joint-answer through my name. I'll make sure to note when Leigh is answering :3 (ex. Leigh currently says "hello ") We can't wait to hear your thoughts!(edited)

RebelVampire

QUESTION 3. At the moment, who is your favorite character? What about that character earns them this favor?

QUESTION 4. Why do you think Yukina was so insistent on going to France after Sachiko and Koyomiko disappeared? In what ways has she or her life changed that might help or hurt her future goals? What is up with her new memory powers?

RebelVampire

1) im gonna name two cause i can and nobody can stop me. the first more serious one is the scene where kregor shows up for rie and then the fight rolls out. ive really come to appreciate how the event is laid out since things go from great to bad to whoops life changing catastrophe. its made especially sad just cause rie and sachiko were so close to kind of resolved their spat but whoops, no resolution for anybody. it was just a great scene that really upped the stakes and kind of changed the course of the path in a was that was refreshing and unexpected. the second scene im gonna pick is that small like 2 page scene where kregor is sick and elianne told him to rest. Like...legit did not expect that. As far as their relationship has been shown, it seemed angry and more boss/employee. But apparently Elianne cares a little bit about Kregor and i just love that. 3) right now its koneko. Cause Koneko's motivations and origin is a mystery i want to see delved into now. Koneko seems to be pulling lots of strings in the bg and this has really got me intrigued. And selfishly i just basically love a good mystery character who is definitely immensely more than they appear.(edited)

RebelVampire

2) So umm, going with Occam's razor on this theory. It seems most likely some ancestor of Sachiko got down with an umbrian probably. Some umbrian who was probably related to Elianne. Or maybe even Elianne cause who am i to judge how old Elianne is. I 100% think Allie is the manifestation of the powers and they're just all kind of shadow related. I just assume the ancestors were killed because theyre not the sort of powers the human body is supposed to be able to handle. 4) Honestly, I don't have good theories about the france choice. Although I do think that it might have been emotionally driven. Like people who suffer really horrific events usually don't want to be in places that remind them of it. So it makes sense Yukina would just want to gtfo of there. And France is at least semi familiar and has Cassandra. I think in terms of life change, I think shes just mostly matured more. So in essence is more fit to handle some of the emotional complications of what she needs to do. As for the memory powers, well, she is biologically Sachiko's daughter or so has been confirmed. And if Sachiko has weird powers that get her hunted, it stands to reason Yukina probably inherited something too. Something that might be muddling her normal Ascendant powers perhaps. But I definitely think she'll find a way to use it to help Sachiko and Koyomiko.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Koneko is a beloved character for sure. He is cute, he is cuddly (great for comfort!) He is...also apparently kinda good for saving lives!

And I had to look up what Occam's Razor was oop. But that's what Google is for! It IS a rather interesting take. We like to mix simple reasons within some complex ones to keep folks guessing. Is this one of the simple ones? We'll have to wait and see how it unfolds Though the "Elianne is litterally related to Sachiko" theory is one of the more popular ones even within the C14 server so you're not alone there!

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

One thing we can confirm, though, is that, yes...Yuki moved to France to get away from the bad reminders, the bad memories. Sadly it was just too much after the incident happened...The move wasn't an instant cure, either, but over time, it helped. She did meet a new girlfriend there!

snuffysam

One thing I'm curious about is when Allie first started appearing, how Sachiko reacted to her new powers, and so on. We haven't seen the shadow powers in any of the journal flashbacks in Part One, and we know Yukina's memory powers didn't start manifesting until recently, so maybe there's a connection there.

Alternatively, maybe Kregor REALLY goofed up that torture prison spell he used on Sachiko that one time and accidentally gave her some of Elianne's power.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Special 5 is a pretty fun read regarding that :3

http://www.raisondetrecomic.com/uastitle.html (for those that have read at least up to Ch 5, otherwise it's spoilers~)

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

The question hasn't been fully answered, but hints have happened for a bit, kinda leading to Part 2 (which will finally explain it...over time, heh)(edited)

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

A lot of the stuff since Chapter 5 has been with the help of Leigh. She's a really good writer that can put all these ideas together well while still keeping some things secret until "the time is right". I had a direction I wanted to go with this, but tended to get too wordy or expositiony at times. She helped reel that back a bit and organize it.

She's also good at working with what she's given even if it's not a lot, and boy, did I give her a hodge-podge of stuff from Part 1 lol But it's coming along nicely, I think~

She said she loves that @RebelVampire was surprised and enjoyed the sick!Kregor-Elianne interaction from Ch 6

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

If you guys don't mind, we would like to add our personal answers to Question #1~ For Leigh, it's a tie between two scenes in particular. One is Elianne's "I CAN'T LEAVE THIS PLACE!" scene in Chapter 6, especially the cats in the background as it's happening... and Nozomi's spectacular toss of Miko in Chapter 4 ("GET OUT")...especially when you consider how small Nozomi is (she's almost 5 feet tall exactly) As for me...it's kinda hard to pinpoint just one or two xD But I think I kinda like Special 3 in general. Especially for this page alone

RebelVampire

QUESTION 5. What has been your favorite illustration in the comic so far? What specifically about it do you like?

QUESTION 6. Do you believe that Yukina will be able to save Sachiko and Koyomiko? How might the lessons from the journals help Yukina in this endeavor? Do you think she still has more insight to gleam from them?

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Journal lessons, huh? > :D (SFW, just a little silly; a recent question answered)

AV-chan

Here's some of my inputs but I'll have to answer what I can still remember. In regards to Yuki's powers, I sense that it's either an evolved form of Sachiko's powers or branch type since Yuki does need to touch someone to activate it. Who knows what surprises we'll see I think I mentioned a fav scene before but I'll input another recent one that I liked... It's the specials where Miko was training to get buff again and Nozomi taunts her until she goes all out

That answer is really funny and cute @Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Oh yes. GET IN SHAPE!! (We hope to get the final part out soon but it has a good pause point atm!)

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

We're really enjoying the Yuki's powers theories by the way!

snuffysam

6) You know, I'm not sure Yukina will be the one to save Sachiko and Koyomiko. The animal buddies seem to be doing a decent job already, and I'm not sure they'll recruit some kid to help them. Though she could use her powers to restore their memories once they're rescued?

RebelVampire

that just makes me picture yukina slamming the door dramatically saying "I'm here to save you." and then everyone and the cats are just having tea saying nah we good.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Lmao

That's a pretty hilarious image xD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Aaand...a picture happened.

RebelVampire

omg thats great XDXDXDXD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Thank you

RebelVampire

QUESTION 7. Which characters do you enjoy seeing interact the most? What about their dynamic interests you?

QUESTION 8. Who exactly is Koyomiko’s pet cat and why did Elianne call him a renegade? Who is his white haired companion helping him? Why are they helping? How is Elianne a key to Shiva’s vengeance?

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Leigh: CAT QUESTION! :D

RebelVampire

5) definitely this one from the climax before the time skip. http://raisondetrecomic.com/chfivep40.html I love the use of the silhouette cause it really contrasts well with the yellow. i also like the angle is from over kregor's shoulder so it kind of makes the sort of distance view that really forces you to be in awe of this immensely show of power. 6) I'm kind of in the same thinking as @snuffysam in that Yukina will help restore their memories while the cat folk do the heavy lifting. Cause they really have done the hard part of getting them away from Elianne, cause now Elianne's only retaliation is to send Kregor. and well...Kregor has the cant even do one job disease it seems since he only even got sachiko and koyomiko by complete accident. XD I do think the journals might help though. Maybe it'll be like the Butterfly Effect or Life is Strange where she accesses memories by reading them.

RebelVampire

7) Probably Nozomi and Koyomiko, even though its been a while since then. On the whole Nozomi interests me as a character cause she seems to have changed the most significantly from when she was a kid to when shes an adult. And its really interesting to see the effects that those around her have had on her and how those relationships have changed. 8) I feel like Koneko is like some guardian who broke with society to stand against Elianne specifically. Or that he was somehow related to the people who originally imprisoned Elianne. Which if it's that latter one, I assume the other companion not Shiva is part of the same group. Shiva maybe too in a way, but I feel Shiva is trying to strike at an old acquantaince of Elianne's, cause maybe Elianne's past deeds were bigger than just her. Like she fell in with the wrong crowd or something. But to summarize, I think theyre like some fringe group about protecting people from people like Elianne who are less touchable maybe. As for why helping, I think Koneko is actually just pretty selfish and wants to save Koyomiko no matter the cost.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Leigh: (re: question 8 with @RebelVampire ) that was the point with Nozomi actually! Glad to see the comment on her. She is definitely a complex character and will be shown more in upcoming parts

Nozomi has a lot of concept sketches plotted out and has been a big focus behind the scenes, heh~

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

And, while we can't spoil, we can confirm that the light-haired companion to Koneko is the Celestial version of what Koneko is (which has been mentioned as being some sort of Umbrian)

Very similar characteristics, yet they both have some tiny variations~

Which DOES make one wonder....if the butter-cat can shift into a human form, does that mean Koneko has one, too?

RebelVampire

yes O_O

there is not a doubt in my mind he can

well could

cause i believe its either he wont or he cant anymore

i am just waiting for the day its real and then you flood the world with all the human pics O_O

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Hehehheheh

RebelVampire

actually tbf creators do a lot of what if pics so even if its not real there may be human pics someday

so you know what

my win regardless

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Leigh: It helps that you know he's going to be a handsome devil :p

RebelVampire

its true XD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Leigh: I mean, come on, look at him:

RebelVampire

QUESTION 9. What sorts of art or story details have you noticed in the way the comic is crafted that you think deserves attention?

QUESTION 10. What did Elianne do in the past that got her trapped and considered unwelcome in Umbria? What do you think she intends to do if she gets free? What’s in it for Kregor?

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Oooh, the art questions are the most curious

RebelVampire

9) One detail I think deserves attention story wise is Koyomiko's changing use accent. I find it vastly interesting that she has it as a kid/teen, doesn't have it as an adult, and then suddenly has it again post memory loss. It's a real curiosity and makes you wonder if the loss of accent is actually a conscious effort on her part everything. But also I just enjoy the consistency in that since doing consistent changes in accent in this manner can be an easy thing to forget. Art wise, I love the details in Rie's design that always seem reminiscent of a fox. Like the pointy tooth or pointy ears. Like even her hairstyle somehow invokes that feeling of fox, and I love that. 10) I feel like Elianne was just power hungry and delved into forbidden stuff. Like not world take over domination. But more just was like didn't draw any lines of ethics and wanted power for the sake of power? Mostly this theory stems from she doesnt strike me as a world domination type. Since so far her goal consists of "id just like out of this cave plz and thank you." I think the first thing she'll do when she gets free is go to starbucks so she can savor ordering her own coffee. And then ya know, plot revenge against those who imprisoned her or get her powers back if she gets free sans powers. As for Kregor, IDK man. Maybe he just likes money or maybe he deserves employee of the year award for being the most loyal employee ever.

The little details: Miko's speech patterns

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Sachiko's head movements as an adult (phone doesn't have spoiler tags) is another thing we made sure to note

You can do spoiler tags on mobile, just put || on both sides of it.

like so

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Well just in case it doesn't work (have had update issues before), I managed to be vague anyway lol

RebelVampire

truly a beacon of inspiration to minions everywhere XD

QUESTION 11. What do you think are this particular comic’s strengths? What do you think makes this comic unique? Please elaborate.

QUESTION 12. How might Koyomiko and Elianne’s powers being opposite be significant to the story? Do you believe this gives Yukina an advantage in some way since she’s also an Ascendant?

Menchi

Finally found my way here, but I'll start by answering the two newest questions: 11. Frankly the strength of the comic so far has been continuing a story that feels unique compared to anything I have read before, juggling the feel of a slice of life story while building up to a big adventure. Also I'd like to throw in how surprising it was for plot to progress, the signs there for the story to go further but the bait and switch about how the story would progress was certainly amusing. :)

as for 12: I had not given it that much thought before now, perhaps in a "Only I can defeat you kind of way", though from the story so far that might be too obvious. ^^ but i could see Yukina being very effective at least in nulifying and protecting others from Elianne's abilities.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

@Menchi - Leigh is to the one to compliment with that. She has done an amazing job with the storytelling and coherency. Inks have gotten much better thanks to her too!

Menchi

heh, you been a good team together ^^

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Thanks. Means a lot. I had these ideas for a long time but she helped put it all nice and coherent~

Also the theories about Yuki (all of them)give us life

Menchi

Then begin the Yuki is the true bad guy theories xD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Ohhhhnoooo

Menchi

Yuki goes pure evil, Rie has to bring her back from the bring, cue feel good story of the year xD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

YuRi shipper ;p

Menchi

i admit it :p

Menchi

1. Now thats a tricksy one, but I would say my favorite storyline is at the start of chapter 3, when (without spoiling too much in case people drop in) the certain parts of the story start to cross together much more, and their involvement together became much more apparent. That it wasn't just a story that was looking into the past.

2. I am still holding to the belief that her father is some kind of Umbrian, or perhaps something else altogether... that or her father played with forces he cannot comprehend. :P For the other parts of this question I am unsure, but I am very curious to see where they go with these plot threads.

snuffysam

we do know at least one dad that lied about being an umbrian

could very well be two

i think the most unique aspect of the comic is its story structure. the first part is technically told entirely from yuki's perspective, but she's finding out about the past through others' recollections. and they're also potentially unreliable narrators, as seen through the chapter where koyomiko and nozomi argue with each other over the story of their meeting. it really gets into those themes of memory that I hope will be explored further in part 2

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Oh, Kazuo....He was definitely in some huge trouble...

I mean, can you imagine how that first secret came out based on what Nozomi said in that Interlude?

snuffysam

was caught sniffing a dog in the park

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Kazuo: Oh, I love you Nozomi Nozomi: I love you, too. Let's get married. Kazuo: Okay! (few months later) Nozomi: Oh, Kazuo, I'm pregnant! Kazuo: Oh....Um, I guess it's about time I told you that I'm actually a kitsune. Nozomi: WAT

snuffysam

AND HE DIDN'T EVEN MENTION THAT HE WAS ROYALTY OR THAT HIS FIRSTBORN WOULD BE TAKEN AWAY AFTER GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL

he's in the doghouse for sure

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Hoooooo boy

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Also a minor correction: Rie is the second kid Understandable to think it was 'firstborn' since that's how the trope usually goes but Hiroki is safe xD

snuffysam

ah yes that's true

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Nozomi had Rie knowing full well at that point that her kids were going to be halflings but then THAT happened and he kept it a secret when he really shouldn't have!

RebelVampire

QUESTION 13. What are you most looking forward to in the comic? Also, do you have any final thoughts to share overall?

QUESTION 14. What other changes do you believe the time skip has brought? In particular, what do you think has happened to Rie in regards to her decision about the NKP and her destiny to be her clan’s Inari?

RebelVampire

11) I think the comic's strength is its use of personal perspectives. Like whether its Yukina, Miko, Sachiko, or any other character, the comic does a really excellent job of switching to different perspectives at the right time to continue the story in emotionally compelling ways. It also makes the perspective changes worthwhile since each one youre always learning about each character on a more personal and intimate level that really helps connect you to them as the story ramps up. 12) I think it's gonna help when push comes to show since at the very least, yukina and koyomiko can probably defend themselves better against elianne compared to others. but other than that, im not seeing it have a big effect other than saving everyone's neck at the right time. 13) right now im just looking forward to seeing rie again and see what time skip rie looks like. and im just curious how everything worked out for her. also, human koneko. 14) I have an honest belief that Rie wants to stay in the NKP, but that shes struggling to get out of family obligations at the moment. And that she might have found a way, but it is tedious and drawn out. as for other changes in general, i feel like the NKP in general might have changed their policies a bit or something. at the very least, i hope they had a super big poster of Kregor that says "NKP's most wanted." which kregor brought to elianne to express his popularity.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Ascendants are an interesting bunch. We're slowly learning more about them in the recent pages. At least, via quick comparison-like comments between folks involving Cassandra and Yuki's dad vs. Yuki and Miko(edited)

As for Rie, well, she's been shown in her adult form in recent updates ;3

snuffysam

i feel like rie wants to stay in the nkp, but that goal may waver slightly after sitting through all of tomoko's lectures...

i think there might be a strained relation between the nkp and umbria going forward. because, like, kregor was caught and sent to the umbrian courts, right? and yet, he was able to get out and snatch miko & sachiko. so the policy of "let umbrians deal with umbrian criminals" has some holes in it.

at least from nkp's point of view

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Hmm hhmmm

The lessons are important...but they sure are funny. Poor Rie xD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

You know who is someone we want to show their reaction to what has happened since chapter 5? Rin. The founder of the Favreau-Tokyo Clanhouse, Sachiko's mom, Yuki's grandmother. She will appear soon once we're done with the hiatus but one wonders how she took it

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Well, it's past midnight where I'm at and I figure the chat has quieted for the week, so with that, I'm gonna at least post this little thank-you doodle to those who stopped by this week before I forget. Thank you very much for the interesting questions and commentary!

snuffysam

thank you for being here and participating in the chat! it's always cool to see a creator at the tea party!

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

I try to whenever I can. I liked the week-long style better because I didn't have to make sure to take time off like I had to for the Thursday one xD This one I could jump in whenever I was available despite work in the way.

And Leigh was also here, at least in spirit. I just relayed her all the comments as they happened :3 She "answered" a few times, but for the most part, our reactions were too similar this time around to really do the separate comments

1500 Word Essay

From a young age I have enjoyed film, the visuals, the sound and the emotions one can invoke and create through a simple series of shots and sound, creating moments of drama, action, horror and even tears, creating a moment that makes hairs stand on end. All these things I have admired and wanted to be able to create myself. My own experiences have been both enriching and redundant as I have never really been able to adapt and grow my own style until coming to university. Before this I was never able or have the correct tools to bring to life the vision within my head, often without it being dissected and changed to the point in which my vision was long gone.

Sixth form was a building block, but at the same time a limiting one as my work was very much what my teachers wanted me to do, with my only input being a vague idea of style preference I wanted to explore at the start of the assignment. However I looked forward to college as I felt this would be a more freeing experience, allowing me to release my creative ability.

Moving my life forward, college was me also growing as a person and I started with an eager enthusiasm towards assignments and people as this was the first time I had broken away from my friend circle and interacted with new people. I saw this as a new start, and beginning, unfortunately personal reasons brought out the worst in me and stepped back completely. This was not helped as college began to feel like sixth form again, making me feel like I had no input as any original idea I had would have to be backed up by what felt like endless research, myself becoming lost and my own growing style along with it.

After college I was working and decided I had enough with education, up until this point I never felt free with my work and working felt simpler. Working at the Catholic parish club, bar and social would built me up and made me grow even more, forcing me to become more social through customers. Over time I was trusted with counting money and locking up after a shift, even running my own shift. This filled me with a sense of pride I did not feel during sixth form or college. However good I felt about myself, there was no real advancement within this job, So I thought that if I was too doing something nine to five, five days a week I want it to be something I enjoy and something I do not mind doing for a number of years.

I wanted to be creative, go back to my media and drawings so I had a look at local universities. I wanted to study something that would let me have access to the programmes that I never could before, Animation at Northumbria University seemed to open that door for me. University was the same new start just like college all over again, except this time I would learn from my mistakes, I would also try and develop my own style. I did so within one of the first units, having a lesson on Adobe illustrator introduced me to Vector art, something I did not know was my niche but something I would use as much as possible and continue trying to develop in my spare time as well. I have felt so much more freedom within my work at University as well compared to my previous experience, there has been plenty of opportunity for both growth personal and work. All of these experiences have took me down a path and narrowed down what I would like to do within the animation/media industry. It has also given me hope for my future and being able to create unique pieces with my own style.

My aims when leaving university would be too work for a company or a team that is based locally, somewhere in the north east so that I wouldn't have to leave my family or friends, if a major company wanted me that would be something else to consider, but I would prefer security over spoken opportunity. My ambitions and goals have never been to make lots of money, nor be some celebrity, ive always just wanted to enjoy what I do and have enough money to live a comfortable life. My aim would also to be in a position where I would be able to produce my own work or be heavily involved within the creative process of a project. I would like to work within Vector art, something 2D as this is what I always do my illustrations and animations in. Using software like Adobe illustrator, Photoshop and After effects. Another aspiration of mine would be too able to produce my own comic books/graphic novels, creating and bringing to life characters and worlds through my own visual style. Another job I have looked at is a foley artist, this would fulfil my love of music and sound in general. I thought about this as a career/job after the sound and editing unit. I really enjoyed it and the whole reason I came to university was to find and apply skills to a job that I enjoy.

After looking into what companies I could work for I have discovered Arcus who are a 2D animation company based in Gateshead, who primarily work with Adobe After effects, Illustrator and Photoshop. This would be the absolute dream straight out of uni as it is right on my door step, they work within the specific style I do and I enjoy their work. I've also had the chance to sit in during one of the owner’s talks at Northumbria Uni and had a chance to speak with him about what they would be looking for within someone’s work. Another aspect I do enjoy about their work is the undertone of humour within it, there's a honest fun feel, it does not feel like some big company producing a product for some faceless brand, it feels authentic, their show reel alone hooked me as the song they used was an original piece produced I believe by one of the owners and his band. Little touches like that make me feel like it would be more of a family than an endless machine.

I am pleased with my branding, I feel like I have created a unique logo that matches my style, one that is somewhat playful and one that can be applied to multiple variations. I am especially pleased with my Animated logo as I feel it brings to life my logo in a unique way. I decided upon the breaking, glitch effect as I wanted to make something different, something that is not like everyone else's animated logos. The general imagery I have seen is something with too many effects, or some transformer-esque level of transitions and movement that reveal some overly detailed Logo. I also added the fade out at the end as it reminds me of the old Play station one company logos that you would see at the start of a game. They would always fade to black, it’s a bit silly nostalgia but I like it. The overall style of my branding is my own and that is something I am happy with and something that is unique to me.

The way in which I show off my work is simply through a show reel, something I have produced for this unit and something I am actually surprised at how decent it looks. Im surprised because when I was assembling my clips and work I wasn't very happy with what I have produced compared to others, I felt that my overall work was very subpar compared to others until I was suggested to put in some of my vector Illustrations I have done at home and make them into little animations, which I actually love. I chose the specific music as well because I wanted something more upbeat, something again just like my logo different to what other people had done, as the general vibe I have seen from others both online and within my class is some dull 'Art' gallery music I like to call. It’s the type of music that doesn't build it, or go anywhere and bores me. I instead decided upon my music the second another classmate laughed and said this is completely you isn't it. I thought that this was a good indicator as who I am, hopefully someone who is fun and upbeat, unique and quirky, something I hope I manage to put into my work. I hope that companies and potential employers see my work and think this is a unique individual, filled with a variety of ideas and styles, someone who we will benefit from if he were on our team. This would make all the extra work worthwhile.
