#im actually super insecure about everything i post

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

i cant really tell if yuu's involvement in ace's character is more for fanservice reasons or because they really did play a part in his character development.

like in nbc we have malleus choosing to focus on finishing the task at hand as quickly as possible so that they can then find the prefect rather than drop everything there at that moment and prioritizing finding yuu. (iirc) and compared to that we have ace who does put a lot of emphasis on finding yuu especially when no one seems to remember it during the halloween event it feels very traditionally fanservice-y ? and i cant really tell where the line is drawn for ace anymore. and you did mention a lot of other points in another post that you made esp with ace's dream recently dropping and the fact that hes the only guy whos dream yuu was actively involved in idk its a little confusing for me i hope im making sense TT no shade to the shippers im just a little slow in comprehending it all bvbvsjdj

your posts are always really neutral and accurate it just helps to clear up a lot of my confusions and questions i have when playing so thank you for your hard work!

[Referencing this post; you might also find this related post useful in the discussion of Ace and Yuu's relationship!]

DISCLAIMER: I do not mean to invalidate or detract from Ace x Yuu or Malleus x Yuu shippers or anyone who may interpret their relationship as romantic. You should ship what you like and have fun doing it. My reply aims to be more objective, but that should NOT impede on your enjoyment or whatever it is you choose to ship.

iufipaerasfeao Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you find my posts helpful. I try my best to be objective when it comes to analyzing the story and characters, but there's no true way for someone to be completely neutral. There are definitely times when I have an aside to insert my two cents on a situation or I get super heated about a particular topic. Hopefully I still leave enough space for everyone to come to their own conclusions.

I think it's both fanservice and because Yuu actually plays a big part in Ace's character development? Like, it's technically fanservice but it does not feel egregious because it fits Ace’s teasing nature and Ace's bond with Yuu has been established from the start. He was the first student we met at NRC and we spend so much time with him since then; there's no way Yuu wouldn't have had an impact on him, especially when book 7 is now paralleling the two as people with insecurities about being weak/unable to do anything + not contributing enough and Yuu encouraging him when he finally gets his UM.

I commonly see people joking about Malleus having "missed the meeting about Twst not being a dating sim" and holding him up as "the main love interest". (And to be clear, Twst isn't a dating sim, nor do all Twst fans see the characters romantically; I am only speaking about this in a romantic lens in the context of this post.) However, I think there's a very strong case to be made for Ace as well. The thing is, I also feel that Malleus and Ace fundamentally appeal to two different groups of yumejoshi. Malleus is the tall, dark, and mysterious type you can "fix", the type of guy that would burn the world down for you. Ace is the teasing and approachable boy-next-door that has your back and supports you even when the entire world is against you. This is also evident in the ways they're set up in the main story; Malleus is introduced in a way that encourages much more "filling in of the gaps" due to how little he actually shows up in front of Yuu in the main story. It gives the player a lot of space to imagine what their relationship with him is like because there isn't a ton of interactions in canon to go off of. Meanwhile, Ace has many more canonized interactions with Yuu (eating lunch, doing homework, watching movies, playing video games, etc.), so the effort of thinking about what they actually do over the course of their relationship is already done for you. There is an established friendship and connection with Ace, but you barely see Malleus enough to truly have a strong impact on him or to change him. Does that make sense?

IADUPADF9A9FSBdb I do find it sort of funny that Malleus is basically like, "Oh, something unexpected happened (ie Yuu is missing). We'd better solve this." Not really showing much emotion about them being gone in Nightmare. (Malleus only gets annoyed when Leona begins to take charge; he is not mad at the fact that Yuu is gone.) Meanwhile Yuu is missing in Endless Halloween Night and Ace is the FIRST person to excuse himself to check Ramshackle for them.

If you consult the fandom and the fandom alone, you'd think the situation would be reversed. Edit: Malleus does have his moments of intimacy with Yuu (which I won’t be getting into here because then I fear this post would veer into shipping wars), but the English speaking Twst fandom has a VERY strong bias for Malleus x Yuu. Because of that, there is a tendency to misinterpret or misattribute every little thing that Malleus says and does to support the idea that "Yuu is his most important person". (For example, even though Malleus provides no reaction at all when Skully kisses the back of Yuu's hand, many Malleus fans claimed that he would be very jealous or would harm Skully for doing such a thing. In another Halloween event, Glorious Masquerade, people believed he was angry at Rollo for harming Yuu even though this was not the case; the event states that he was mad because the invitation he had been extended was a fake one.)

It is because of thinking like this that a lot of English speakers genuinely believed Malleus would OB in book 7 in a desperate attempt to prevent Yuu from returning to their original world. Misinterpretations, headcanons, misattributions, and personal projections were conflated with canon, leading to many people to believe that Malleus was closer with Yuu than they actually are. Instead, Malleus ended up OBing because he feared Lilia leaving and he barely even considers Yuu after he OBs. And, ironically, Ace is the character whose dream prominently features Yuu and a scenario in which Yuu doesn't have to leave them forever. It was always Ace that we had a strong relationship with, not Malleus.

Ace is often overlooked even though he has far more canon interactions with Yuu in the main story. I think this could maybe to chalked up to a combination of him being "boring" compared to the literal DARK FAE OP CROWN PRINCE M. Draconia over there and the fact that so many of those "gaps" are already filled by the main story. There's less room for imagination because the game has already defined what Ace and Yuu's relationship entails. Malleus is just so much more appealing when it comes to intrigue and mysteriousness. When you look at it objectively though... Yuu only meets Malleus face-to-face like 5-6 times for brief conversations. (Edit: I’m not counting voice lines because those are arguably directed at the player, not Yuu, to endear the character to you and/or all characters get similar voice line fanservice. The canonicity is questionable since the same familiarity in voice lines is not carried over to the main story.) 5-6 times… That's not nearly long enough to make a huge impact or change in his life (unless you as the player extrapolate and imagine more Malleus and Yuu interactions outside of the ones we see in the main story). At best, I think you could say Malleus is glad he can have a special little friend who doesn't know of his name and status? He doesn't really change because of that relationship though. Malleus doesn't even show up until book 2. But Ace has literally been there since the beginning, canonically spends tons of his free time with Yuu, and has been through several near-life experiences with them (several OBs). He has the chance to bond with Yuu. Malleus does not. (He has given Yuu advice once, sent them a card once, and reassembled a stage for them once; all other interactions in the main story are short talks.)

It makes a lot of sense that Ace would be the one "touched" by Yuu's influence, whether you see it as romantic or platonic. Both he and Malleus (and all the other characters, really) get their moments of fanservice--but very few characters' development is directly impacted by Yuu's presence. Yuu might be there for most of the main story, but they actually get only a few moments to engage with the other boys in the cast to the point of actually changing them. It feels like the changes that occur are more often the result of the other boys (Trey standing up to Riddle and holding his hand afterwards, Epel and Deuce bonding on the beach, the twins telling Azul he's lame but also being the first to check up on him following the OB, Idia finalizing his farewells with Ortho, etc.) Ace just so happens to be an exception to that, as Yuu very clearly plays a big role in his development.

I NEED MORE INFO ON YOUR OUBING AU PLS ITS SO PEAK

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE I AM SECRETLY A YAPPER AT HEART. HERE ARE SOME RANDOM THINGS ABOUT MY AU THAT I CAN'T FIT ANYWHERE ELSE BUT IM DEPOSITING HERE:

Please understand nothing I say here is canon to actual mythology, I'm just playing with my Legos here:

Ao Bing doesn't think of himself highly, as in his eyes, he's pretty mediocre compared to everyone around him and he's not good at anything. He doesn't voice this much but he does worry about dragging people down

As per a previous post, Ao Bing does now own a cell phone. He's not very good at working it yet but he'll get the hang of it. He doesn't understand anything Mei sends him though

While Ao Bing isn't exactly mad at Nezha for his death, he understands that it happened when they were both young and Nezha had less control of himself and his strength back then, he does hurt a bit inside whenever he thinks about everything he missed. The weddings of his cousins, Ao Lie and Longnü growing up, the birth of Ao Lie's daughter. Late at night, he wonders what could've been if he was allowed to grow up alongside them all and see everything he's heard from second hand accounts himself

If Ao Bing hadn't died when he had and grew up in the East Sea, under Ao Guang's care, I can assure you he'd be a completely different person

Macaque's ears are actually colour changing! They're different everyday and it's not something he has control over. Bai He and Ao Bing think it's super cool though!

I think I'll colour Macaque's ears some shade of pink most often due to them being described as 'lotus shaped' ears

Erlang Shen and Cinxin are both on vacation right now and that's why nobody has seen them in a while (I'm not satisfied with Cinxin's design, I need to go redo it soon...)

While Ao Bing and Nezha's relationship doesn't have a conventional label, Nezha does own a promise ring given to him by Ao Bing. Made by Ao Bing's own hand with his hardest scale and a sapphire, Nezha keeps it on a necklace tucked safely under his armor. They do want to be married some day

Ao Bing is great with kids, he had no problem being a foster father to Bai He since he's wanted children of his own since he was young

For a long time, Bai He was actually really insecure about the white in her hair until she realized that the white made her look more related to Macaque and Ao Bing

Bai He does still go to school. She and Macaque live in his dojo, with her going to train at the Demon Bull Residence on weekends and holidays. She stays there with Ao Bing whenever Macaque goes to check on his other kid (MK) and inevitably gets wrapped up in some shit MK and his crew are a part of

Even though he has a new body made out of lotus paste, Ao Bing still has chronic pain. It's not so bad most days but there are times he can't get out of bed. I guess that's just what happens when your spine gets ripped out, the pain just follows you

Rainy days are often bad, 'ouch, everywhere hurts' days for both Macaque and Ao Bing

Tianchan Shihou is Sun Wukong's real name. Just like Liu'er Mihou is Macaque's. Tianchan is what Macaque used call Wukong when they were 'young and dumb'

Liu'er is also a name Sun Wukong used to call Macaque. No one uses it anymore, just like no one uses Tianchan to refer to Sun Wukong

Macaque does have a name he's chosen for himself, like Tianchan Shihou = Sun Wukong. Only a select few people know it, however

There actually is a pretty common misconception in the demon world that Macaque and Ao Bing are together together since they're raising a child

4 is Nezha's unlucky number. He avoids it as much as he can

Xiaojiao is Mei's real name. She goes by Mei as a nickname, which is funny, since Ao Lie actually named his daughter Ao Mei

Bai He still has nightmares about the whole LBD incident. She often goes to seek out one of her dad's after one

DBK actually is a bit judgy when it comes to how Ao Bing and Macaque parent Bai He, saying that they, "spoil her too much" and "she'll become soft at this rate" but he also spoils Red Son in his own quiet way so who's to say what's what

Bai He's powers are ones of metal, thanks to the purple colour stone. This is because the White Tiger represents metal and also I was influenced by the Shadowpeach Bio Parents AU

With her new powers, Bai He often bothers Red Son in his workshop to see how she can help (she can't most of the time)

Bai He's cat's name is Xinyi (心怡), the one that ran away from her and is currently missing is named Chengyu (橙语)

Macaque would never admit it out loud but he quite adores Bai He's cats the same way he used to love the little monkies on Flower Fruit Mountain

Ao Bing actually feels really bad about his extended stay at the Demon Bull Residence. He wants to ask Nezha if they could move in together, but Ao Bing isn't thrilled about the prospect of living in heaven. Nezha though already has a plan for them to move in together, but they haven't discussed it yet

Ao Bing has a fear of Li Jing just like how Nezha fears Ao Guang

While Princess Iron Fan and Macaque are sworn siblings, Ao Bing isn't. He's family sure, and Red Son calls him uncle just like he does with Macaque, he doesn't really have a proper title, if that makes sense

Macaque does know and is in contact with the other two celestial monkeys. Those two, he does call them by their birth names, which is; Tongbi, short for Tongbi Yuanhou also known as the Long Armed Gibbon, and Chikao, short for Chikao Mahou also known as the Red Buttocked Horse Monkey

Sun Wukong is definitely not jealous that Macaque calls the other celestial primates by their real names instead of him. Definitely not

I'm making the dragon tails in Ao Bing's and the other dragon's human forms optional since I don't want to draw them all the time. I also often forget... Same with their face scales. Let's just say they're retractable okay?

What do you think Awakening Trio’s spouses call them once they’re back in Ylisse?

hi anon!! thank you so much for the ask 🩷 thats a good question… honestly i think it depends both on which member of the awakening trio it is and also who their spouse is? under cut because i ended up writing a LOT sorry 😭

normally when i think about post-fates awakening trio, im thinking about my preferred pairings for all of them (lucisev, lasnyx, azuodin) and so for all of those i generally tend towards their original names? i think that inigo, sentimental as he is, would prefer his original name regardless of spouse, honestly. whether or not that��s nyx doesn’t exactly change that for me, when i really think about it. maybe if he stayed in nohr, like with xander (when it comes to xanlow im not sure if i prefer them staying or leaving? both sexy… both sad…) he might just suck it up but i think he prefers inigo.

for owain, though, i think it depends! for him with azura specifically, i think they would go with calling him owain, because 1) i think he realizes that azura needs space from everything in nohrshido and a ylissean name as opposed to a nohrian one is already a huge help with that and 2) its HIS name and he holds a lot of value in that! but on that second point, the weird thing about owain is that hes actually… super down with changing his name. its odd at first, but unlike someone like laslow who’s kind of in this feeling of limbo with the identity change, odin kinda jumps at it and uses the change in name to help more strictly define his persona as the “legendary hero of darkness” aching blood and twitching hands thing he’s got going on. not only that, but wheras owain’s identity is already cemented in being the second (or third if lucina has a sibling. yikes!) prince of ylisse who’s pushed to the side in favor of his “better” or “stronger” family members, odin gets to choose what and who he is. and so, i think owain is really just. it depends, because even with all that said, owain is still the name he got from his mom, and it’s the name that saw him through hell and back! i think if he were like with niles or beruka, he’d take owain. if he were with like, charlotte or elise, he’d take odin. i think his relationships and how they come about would definitely influence his pick.

for severa… well, like i said, my favorite pick for her is lucina (oohhh u wanna pine for your lost love while in another world soooo bad ooohhhhh) and so, when she comes back, because lucina has known severa forever, i think she just goes with that. HOWEVER. if she brings back a nohrshido spouse… i think she’d like to stick with selena. she’s in a very similar spot that owain was in in terms of using the name change as a new identity, but unlike owain, she just… goes for it. no reservations, no errors, she dumps severa behind and immediately falls into her role as selena and i think she’s much happier for it. i think for her, severa was too much trapped in the shadow of her past and her mother, so once she’s given the opportunity to become selena, that all just kinda… falls away. not that it doesn’t affect her anymore—it does! in her supports with like, subaki, for example, her mother and her insecurities are still there. and her supports with odin show she does still long for her home, but i also think that she’s a lot better at realizing that, despite everything, you can’t actually go back to the past and fix how fucked up the three of them are, and being stuck in that grief isn’t worth much to her! so she accepts selena and everything that comes with that identity. and once she’s in ylisse again, just because she’s home, it doesn’t mean she’s going back. now that she’s experienced what it’s like to be able to step out of everything that’s restricted her for so long, like her name that attaches her too much to her mom, i think she wouldn’t mind keeping selena. in private, and especially if her spouse is like, lucina or inigo or owain or noire or laurent, maybe she wouldn’t mind hearing severa every now and then. but publically (and probably legally. #paperwork) she’s selena for the rest of time. also i do hc that even if her spouse is ylissean, she just kinda falls back into mercenary work, so. professionally also, she’s def known as selena. she said FUCK that old name im not going back. cordelia calls her severa though.

★彡 ˙🌱. ¡! Vylad Mystreet headcanons !!

the second character i fell in love with. how cruel it is that he has fuck all going for him. I'll fix that.

korean and white

pansexual (actually this one is just canon) (cole petty ily)

pisces ♓️

doesn't have like a set label for his gender, and is cool with anything people wanna see him as

will try anything once

will put anything in his mouth

can sleep literally anywhere

i think this man might be the most laid-back, flexible person on the planet.

except towards geese because fuck those things

any time he has slept in a park he has made sure there were no geese around because those fuckers have stolen his stuff before and made him watch as they drowned it

listens to the most underground shit you've never heard and it all slaps (i didnt add this kind of stuff to his playlist though bc i wanted it to. make sense.)

also just listens to underrated music in general (includes just underrated songs from super popular bands)

currently holds an award for being the "funniest man on mystreet" and he didn't even have residency there

kind of has random visions about his friends in his sleep, but he just thinks they're normal dreams and that he misses his friends a lot (oh little does he know.)

used to say the most cryptic shit as a kid and freak his brothers out

being friends with vylad as a kid mustve been the weirdest experience. the kid eats glue, dirt, and moss, befriends frogs, crows, and moths, tells you you've suffered immense turmoil in a past life completely sincerely, and then infodumps about the entire history and process of typewriters for some fuckin reason

im 100% sure all three of the boys have autism and they got it from zianna

while he doesn't really want to connect himself to the ro'meave name (mainly bc of garte), he does love his family to death and sends his mom and brothers post cards every once in a while (when he remembers, mostly)

doesn't really reach out to his family any other way and neither do they. which he understands; communication is a two-way street

tries to stay positive and practice a healthy mindset and self-image, even and especially when he feels his insecurities and sense of self-worth creeping in

knows how to fish with nothing but a shoestring and a good fuckin stick

Loves pickin up good fuckin sticks

also cool rocks

he collects cool rocks from all the places he visits and keeps them in an old jewelry box. he keeps special ones he plans on giving to his friends in the top part of it

always making friends with stray dogs, cats, rats, raccoons, and opossums. someone stop him

has a johnny stein hotel transylvania relationship with his backpack (it literally has everything he owns in it)

knows how to fix and alter clothes

he knows how to do a lotta shit, alright. i don't think you'll find a craftier little guy than vylad ro'meave

except when it comes to fixing a water heater or anything to do with pipes or electrical tbh he hasn't lived in a house in a While

i'm obsessed w the idea that zane had spent so much time and effort trying to get gene to notice him meanwhile vylad enters gene's peripherals for 2.5 seconds and gene's like I Want Him.

poor vylad can't get on zane's better side for shit

owns a few skirts and dresses and high-heeled boots because he can wear whatever he wants

goes to ren faires whenever he can honestly. sometimes as a job!

when his hair gets too long he ties it back into a low ponytail or pigtails until he can get it cut again (doesnt really like having long hair)

wears weird and funky socks

he absolutely has a roblox account

likes to pronounce words wrong on purpose sometimes. mostly by putting emphasis on the wrong syllables

ABSOLUTELY adds extra e's to his words when texting bc thatse good showbiz babey!!

the type of kid where his first word was actually just a full coherent sentence

i'm coming to terms with the fact that he is most definitely a furry (not the type to dress up for it though. he just does artwork)

spent so much of his younger years trying so, so hard to achieve an astounding success to get his father to notice him. feeling like he had to "earn" his place as a ro'meave with him. but, it was a good thing he realized fast that that was never going to happen

because he did achieve some incredible things! he was a perfect child prodigy; on his way to dual enrollment by only his first highschool year

but, he realized, one whole summer with his father home, that all that work to be the perfect son, just like his brothers were, was.. really for nothing, when he saw zane completely break down one night after dinner

so, he dropped the course to dual enrollment entirely, asked to be transferred from o'casis to phoenix drop high, and decided to take more time for himself. figuring out who he is and what he likes. which, is sorta just turning out to be "anything, except the things he doesn't"

but, there's a lot out there still. and, while he still feels like he hasn't entirely found his own sense of self-worth, he's going to keep trying new things and discovering all that he can about himself until he feels whole enough to come home

DOUBTS, INSERCURITY AND ANXIETY

The title is blood red, why? because when I used to have doubts, and still didn't really understand non-dualism at all, my brain would set off alarms with flickering fiery red lights. As if they were forbidden , as if I was committing some crime and conducting treason. Many of us find it difficult to deal with doubts, anxiety, insecurity because it just feels so bad, so ickish... so painful an it instantly sends us into a spiral- "Oh No! I'm not supposed to be thinking this, I'm supposed to be Zen and indifferent all the time!" "NO!!! All my progress has gone to waste.." (spoiler alert: there is no progress to be made) or just endless interaction with the (seeming) thought and just piling on to the insecurity and discomfort. Trust me, we've ALL been there, and it's COMPLETELY and ABSOLOUTELY normal and OKAY. Because guess what? This will blow your mind: IT IS IRRELEVENT. I'm serious. You could think the most gruesome, ugly, thoughts about yourself and your dream but it doesn't affect " " at all. SO, what does this mean? It means these thoughts aren't yours!! You aren't the thinker!! CELEBRATE that for a moment! bask in freedom of that realization. These thoughts are from of the ego, or character or WHATEVER. Thing is, this ego is an illusion.

Thoughts, feelings, sensations, DESIRES = Ego

Ego = "the ego doesn’t exist. It’s not a person nor an entity or anything like that. It’s just a longtime held onto perception. It’s just a pile of ideas, concepts, states of mind, thoughts and feelings that we’re clung to and built upon like a castle of cards. It was never you. It was never truly real. It seemed to be because you were it. It cannot exist without you knowing yourself as it." - @crystaldust

Conclusion is, whatever you are going through right now, you are not actually going through. (sounded better in my head) Instead, there is only " " observing a ILLUSIONARY life with a nice lil character and basically in different forms. So everything is " " (the character, the life, other people, the dirty clothes on your floor you're not gonna clean up, etc) are all just different forms of " " so basically just " " observing " " which also mean that nothing is REALLY happening. Like yes I just failed my chemistry test but is there really anything happening here?? without labels, words and meaning what is there? no thing. So even the doubtful, fearful, anxious and insecure thoughts are nothing, you are assigning illusionary meaning to them and on top of that taking them to be you. Like? And what is absoloutellyyy hilarioussss is that " " put this dream or play on itself, and on purpose for fun, and you're acting like it's the end of the world.

On a more serious note though, I know how hard it can be to see negative thoughts for what they really are! and to stop taking the illusion so seriously. There's death, murder, poverty, starvation and many things to react to. I know it can be hard. I know trust me, but in all honesty, guys, you are the observer! not the person. And again, I will repeat this until your ears bleed. It is ALL COMPLETELY Illusionary. This does not mean you're not allowed to bawl your eyes out or react to anything at all- infact, I mean the contrary. Do WHAT YOU WANT. It doesn't matter, there is no "process" to mess up on here. Just come back and notice " " It's always there anyway even observing right now. And remember not to be harsh on yourself and take good care of yourself :) and most importantly have fun.

(im super sorry this post is very long and chaotic im going to try to add some pretty colors and pictures and stuff in later so that people actually read it but bye and ily)

[ooglywooglies]

alright here is a bit collection of my deltarune theories into one big post

first things first if whatever im saying is super common knowledge i wouldnt know bc i dont interact with the fandom so idk what other people have already figured out this is all stuff ive been putting together on my own

this is based on an old one that i know is common, ralsei is kris's horn headband in the light world - BUT thats not the end of it. we have better confirmation now that dark worlds and inhabitants are formed by the subconscious of the person who created them (their dreams) so my theory is more or less that ralsei is kris's ideal self.

obviously appearance wise ralsei looks like asriel, their brother, but i think most of that comes from kris wanting to BE a monster and actually fit in with their family of course if KRIS were a monster theyd look like their brother. mainly i think hes supposed to look like kris's monstersona because he looks close to kris's age (and obvs if hes the headband it would make sense too)

but then why does ralsei also clearly ACT like asriel, from everything we know about him, including being explicitly a boy. i think this is the more subconscious part, that kris doesn't just want to be a monster to fit in, they want to be accepted by everybody on a deeper level. they want to be "the perfect child" for their family, they want to be easily liked by everyone around them. the fact that they look up to asriel so much colors this insecurity they have and it manifests in kris's ideal self being very very much like asriel in personality.

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

2. thisll be important for some other ones, including kind of, the one above but i have this idea that the dark world is The Domain of The Soul, like, the literal soul, the player. ive been thinking about the color inversion stuff, the pink and blue thats "associated with kris" in the dark world and how its the opposite of kris in the light world, where in susies case shes not inverted shes only slightly color shifted in the dark world, the dark world "brings out susies true colors" and the dark world suppresses kris's, because theyre our vessel, theyre not here for them theyre here for US. (particularly thinking about the recontextualization of kris opening the fountain in chapter 2, not to spend more time with their friends, but to create a distraction for the player)

ive kind of been conceptualizing that idea as "frisk coding" like, when kris is playing the part of a vessel they resemble frisk the most, because despite having their own name in undertale (the reverse of "chara" who imo is more or less just kris without a name) thats what they are, they dont have their own backstory or anything theyre just a body with a name that we inhabit bc we, the player, have a role in the story and frisk, the body, does not. this is sort of the case in the dark world with kris but NOT in the light world. a lot of the time in the light world it feels like we are a guest in kris's life.

(the only reason this is really tied to the above theory is bc i think ralseis outfit is like KIND of sort of the choir uniform inverted, its not exact but its pretty close, and i dont exactly know what it means other than it ties ralsei even closer to kris's perception of asriel - as like a good church boy - i dont know what the inversion really means in regards to the player association though, my inversion theory has more to do with the frisk colors than the inversion itself though)

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

3) this one is MOST closely tied to the above theory, the main point about the dark world being the Domain of the Soul/player which is that, when i saw "the girl" in the prophecy i immediately thought "thats not susie" partly bc i thought she looked a little too dainty (but now that i think about it i think the style is just super simplified) but the main point is "susie doesnt use a sword" and its true she doesnt, but i dont think that means thats not susie

couple things about this, mainly that its tied to a part of the prophecy that says "love with find the girl" everyones immediately like, well thats weird but i guess its true considering noelle. but im sure we all know that love as another meaning in undertale but i mainly think it refers to the Soul.

the other thing is i think the sword as a weapon is not associated with kris the way we think. i think weve sort of been tricked to think a sword in an evolution of the knife, but it doesnt really explain why its able to turn into a shield to defend. like kris carries around a knife, they love knives, why would they not have something closer to a dagger in the dark world, certainly not a shield. i think the sword (and shield) is tied to the player, and the reason kris uses them is because they are the vessel.

additionally kris steals a pencil from noelles desk in chapter 4 and it turns into a sword (i know noelle can technically use it too if you cheat but i dont think that discounts the point that potential weapons for kris always turn into swords)

So The Main Point Of This Theory

is that susie is going to become the vessel at some point and her axe is going to convert into a sword/shield. obviously "love finds the girl" is the major thing that points to this but theres already been a couple instances that kind of support this idea 1) susie has "borrowed" the soul several times, particularly in her fight with lancer in chapter 1 in the prison where shes trying to kill him and 2) fights with the hammer of justice (and variants) she "borrows" the soul again but also goes a step farther and uses her axe as a shield

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

4) this is the least concrete of all my theories because i just dont have a lot of information to work with, but i was thinking about how gerson is "resurrected" in the dark world, and how thats not just a concept that you bring up for no reason. like, narratively. i sort of softly wonder if carol/kris/etc know about this feature and have any intentions with it? im kind of leaning towards no though because their goal seems a lot bigger than that, plus i dont think we have any evidence that anyone has died or anything? i hardly consider the fact that dess is "clearly the roaring knight" to even be much to dispute at this point, im not sure whats going on with that im happy to wait to find out and i highly doubt asriel is like, secretly dead and only kris knows or something...

so my other thought is the prophecy, we didnt get to find out what ralsei wanted to hide from everyone, what susie learned is going to happen that none of us are going to "let" happen but it has to be pretty heavy considering how upset everybody was i think it has to involve someone dying. i sort of think its either none of the main three or ALL of them just based on the way susie said what she said but that might be some authorial meddling to keep the truth obscured for now.

but i do have a hunch that someone is going to die in the future and have to be "resurrected" in the dark world, maybe its not relevant to the vessel change. in fact i sort of HIGHLY doubt its related to the vessel change. the prophecy itself sort of makes it feel like its related (feels like "people can be brought back from death in a way" and "people are going to die" got dropped on us at the same time) but 🤷‍♂️ i really got nothing else to go off so i guess we just gotta wait

i havent done my weird route runs yet so maybe theres something to glean from that i dont know (if youre reading this and do know dont spoil me though)

I love your writing so much!! I can’t believe I missed you posting part 2 of perv Simon omg I just read it and it was so good 😭 I adore the way you write him.

I’m pretty new to this fandom (?) and Simon has overtaken me body and soul. Part 1 was one of the first things I read and ugh I just love this garbage man who is soft for the sweet girl he can’t help but fall for. He’s so awful but is he really if he can’t abide shithead husbands😫🤚🏻??? Your honor he’s a good man, he can jizz on any of my worldly possessions no problem.

I’m sure whatever you have planned for this series will be perfection, and I’m so excited to continue reading! For now, I’m patiently waiting and fantasizing that Simon decides to intimidate shithead!husband into leaving her, forcing him to tell her it’s to be with the woman he’s been cheating on her with. As much as I love when the hot scary man is homicidal, I really want her to fall hard for him, and I think that would be much easier for her if he’s not dead, if she’s instead manipulated into Simon’s arms in a moment of weakness and insecurity because why isn’t she good enough 🥺

Alternatively, I’m hoping that Simon kills him slow and mean, serves him right for mistreating Simon’s pretty birdie. But if so I hope birdie matches his freak, and when she finds out he killed him a couple weeks later, she lowkey doesn’t care. I know it’s so unrealistic but I love when reader likes dark men (truly self inserting lmao) and I would hate for her to be scared of him 🥺. I want him pervy and evil but I also want him soft and loving and there’s no reason for her to fear him ☺️☺️☺️

Omg I was about to click ask and then I realized what I truly deeply want is for shithead!husband to find out about Simon and birdie and to smack her around a bit, truly crushing her loving image of him. She wants to leave him now that she knows how bad of a husband he truly is, especially when she notices him being less subtle with his obvious signs of cheating. Simon sees her at the butcher shop, and while she’s concealed the bruise on her cheek well, she can’t hide the change in her gait and breathing caused by the deep bruises on her rib cage. Simon confronts her, offering (forcing her) to come with him so he can protect her. Shithead!husband shows up and Simon takes care of him 🥰 and birdie feels bad, is a bit scared, but how sad and scared can she be when Simon is right there to make her feel better 😈☺️💗

Okay I’m sorry for my ramblings!! Happy writing :)

I reblog to my side blog btw :) much love! 💗💗💗

ME RN RN:

STOP ITTTTTT. First off im honored to be one of the first fics you read for our beloved simon since there’s SOOOOOO many great fics out there for him. That being said, you’re actually the first person who’s sent me an ask so wow im so happy!! Literally thank you for taking the time to send your ideas and inputs, as well as complimenting my writing you have 0 idea how much that actually means to me 💕💕

NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THE RAMBLES. I LOVE THE RAMBLES. GIVE ME ALL OF THEM!!!

But yeah the jizz part is so real because im not gonna lie i reached into some depraved-ish parts of my mind for that one (i would fight someone for that toothbrush). If you didn’t know i’m pretty new to posting on tumblr and genuinely just getting back into writing fanfics so i’m not super used to posting smut and all so i’m glad you enjoyed it. I try and balance it to make it seem kinda canon. I don’t see simon being someone dark/physical, more like unintentionally creepy like “ugh gotta protect her from everything even by extreme means 🫡🫡” man def does not know where the line is.

I’m a sucker for sweet reader and so is simon! He’d never do anything to harm and trust she is neeeeever gonna have to deal with that mean husband of hers soon enough.

I will warn you, i’m currently working on what’s probably gonna be like 20k+ words for a Jaime Lannister fic (its at 15k and im only at phase 1/4) sooo i don’t think stalker simon will be making an appearance for a fair amount of time (im sorry 😭). I’m pretty sure it will be getting a part 3 though, just not sure when.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to send this, it brightens my day to know you enjoyed the uh.. creativity.. i bring to Simon Riley. Have a great day or night wherever you are xx

Just so it's clear, one of my big dni crits is this:

TW: My rant includes HEAVY topics of ed (eating disorders) and intentionally starving yourself/unhealthy weight loss 🙁.

This post is also ULTRA long, will definitely contain grammar and spelling mistakes, and I'm not going to say 100% everything here is accurate information, as I'm a human and I make mistakes too.

Let me get this clear, I dont mean anyone harm with this post. My intention isn't to hate or attack/hurt anyone to make them feel upset. I know that having an ed is a serious matter. I have friends and family who actively have/had these kinds of eds, so im not uneducated on this subject and I do understand it to a very in-depth degree. This is not to say I know everything about this topic, however.

It is definitely not easy to recover from, and lots of people struggle from it every day. I am NOT saying people with this disorder are any less human than anyone else. I'm saying it's toxic for those who do have it since it actually harms your body a lot, and pushing it on others (not the fact you have it in the first place) is something I don't support.

So respectfully, if you do support/promote eds as a positive thing, or are/follow/interact with blogs who do, BLOCK ME AND DNI. thank you.

I love everyone for who they are inside, regardless of what their body looks like. And I'm telling you right now, as someone who tried so hard to have a perfect body and stop eating bc im super insecure, it's not worth it, and it makes you feel so shitty. I love you, whoever is reading this, no matter what. So please don't change who you are just to make others happy :( <3

--

So I was looking thru tumblr, and this one post kept getting shown to me where people were talking about basically the idea of: "its worth it to keep losing that undesired weight, you'll see results soon" as like a motivational thing. The tags (straight up tells you it's supposed to be inspo to becoming skinny and supports the idea having an ed is the only way to get a dream bod), and their whole blog had ed encouragement/motivation. To keep...starving, i guess.?? Despite their user being about being strong and healthy, nothing about this is healthy or keeps your body strong.

I didn't decide to write a whole rant about just that part of the post because I didn't start getting super concerned until i read the notes/comments (since i had seen a lot of these 'tw : ed' blogs before already). What I saw was that tons of users were promoting starving yourself as a goal and a good thing, and basically glorifying having an ed. And also using kpop idols with skinny and perfect figures like wonyoung to tell others that (almost a literal direct quote from this user-) 'us ed people don't want to be helped and we won't stop starving ourselves until we reach the weight we want.'

"You see it as negativity cause you're not disordered." KEEP IN MIND THE PERSON THEY'RE TALKING TO USED TO ACTUALLY HAVE AN ED (the screenshot below is the person they were talking to). I understand you can't push people to get help if they don't want it, but you have to draw a line when you start saying that every person with ed doesn't want help, which just isnt true. I looked at their blog, and it was all just calculating how many calories they ate and burned every day. Most of the posts they basically only totaled 300 calories a day. THAT IS SUPER SICK ☹️. An average human needs like 2000+ calories a day. It actively influences people to copy them by posting and blogging this SUPER unhealthy weight loss. It IS NOT positive on any level. It does nothing good for you. You won't feel any happier when you look in the mirror if all you can feel is pure hunger because you won't give your body what it needs. This is so sad to me because all the comments had people trying to ask how to start starving themselves, and every blog I clicked on all had ed triggers on their posts and bios. Some of those blogs were saying NOT to become like them because they can't see themselves recovering now that they're in too deep.

As said by people online who actually had and got through having an ed, they have explained it is very unhealthy and they were glad to recover. So even though I do not have an ed, and you might think I shouldn't be "judging" people who have them, there are plenty of formerly ed diagnosed people who know the bad effect it has on others/had on them because they can accurately relate. You can still educate people on a subject even if you yourself do not have to suffer from it/have it, as long as you're doing it properly with proven facts (literally all credible research you do anywhere backed by science and experts will prove eds aren't healthy). People educate themselves to teach others about other illnesses, ongoing or past wars in history, etc, they don't have firsthand experience with/from. And they can still be just as valid sometimes.

My whole point here is that on tumblr and so many other social media platforms, I keep seeing people (posts like this and whole blogs centered around this stuff,) encouraging (mainly young) girls to stop eating altogether to have a body that society and other people are more satisfied with. That's why, for a while, I also tried to do the same because of the people saying it was a positive thing to gain a bad relationship with food and start counting your calories to be perfect. I'm also someone who struggles with body image and being shamed for gaining weight. But at some point hou need to realize hurting your body and mental state is SO WRONG. NOBODY is perfect. So don't push you or anyone else to be. I learned this, and I get its super hard to ignore the judgment forced onto you by society and your surroundings, but there will be people who appreciate you just how you are now. Like me.

So with all that said, the moral here is:

Don't starve urself (on purpose. Bc some people genuinely have trouble eating and starve themselves non intentionally. I have friends who do this 😭)

You're perfect how u are now without being as slim as your idols (and even K-pop idols don't tell others usually to be like them because they know that their companies forcing them to strictly control their weight isn't something they want fans to look up to).

Don't force (potential) ed on others

Don't encourage unhealthy relationship with your body and food

I do support people with eds, as long as they aren't trying to make it something others should look up to, and aspire to have.

If you are someone who wants to normalize having an ed as healthy or positive, please do not interact with this blog and feel free to block me :(

Thank you for reading, have a good day and ily for whoever is reading this. 💗💖💓💕

[natsmagi]

sorry for making yet another textpost but i came across that post saying they dislike transfem natsume because he "canonically hates being perceived as a girl and tries to erase all sorts of memories related to that" and also went on to shame genderbends of him aswell. So, as someone who not only draws genderbends of natsume but is myself someone who is nonbinary and hates being perceived as a woman, i thought id offer my two cents

first of all; i think its important to note that natsume does NOT hate his childhood. in fact, hes quite happy that he had such an unusual upbringing!

what natsume hates is being perceived as weak. thats why he was raised as a girl after all, it was his mother trying to protect him from evil spirits. he doesnt hate the whole "-chan" or "wearing dresses" thing because he has a hatred for womanhood, its because due to his upbringing hes now come to associate those things as being weak. he begs tsumugi to forget about it because that means tsumugi remembers natsume being weak, and natsume thinks tsumugi still referring to him as "natsume-chan" means he still sees natsume as weak. (iirc natsume did however once say that he is a little sad that he doesnt really know how to relate to young boys due to this in poltergeist, but i couldnt find the exact quote. either way that just adds to the complexity of natsumes relationship with his childhood, because while he is happy to be "abnormal" in that sense, it has left him lacking in some areas)

i have to ask though, should this conflict of his not be something we hope he overcomes? should we not want him to develop a healthy relationship with various gender expressions? should we not want natsume to overcome his belief that feminine things = weakness? i want natsume to reach a point where he can wear feminine clothing and not feel like some damsel in distress because of it. i want natsumes character to grow. i want him to develop a positive relationship with his gender because natsume DOES enjoy some more typically feminine things, like baking! he used to bake with his mom when he was little! and i want him to feel like he can indulge in that side of him without feeling insecure.....

i LOVE transmasc natsume, my primary hc for him is transmasc nonbinary after all, but with all these things considered, shouldnt people be allowed to headcanon him however they want? if they hear his story and negative relationship with femininity and how that resonates with them and they themselves are transfem, should they not be allowed to hc him as such too?

which brings me to my next point; my own personal relationship with gender and femininity. i was raised as a girl and i fucking DESPISED womanhood. i hated everything about it. i hated how i felt forced into a box i didnt want to be stuck in, and i hated how it felt like my whole life had already been planned out for me due to societal expectations, aswell as me needing to present a certain way. i was peak "tomboy" growing up, constantly wearing super baggy clothes and wouldnt even brush my hair alot of the time. but despite that i remained miserable. i frankly hated how i looked and would constantly dye my hair vibrant colors in an attempt to make me like myself a little more. it wasnt until i realized "wow, im actually not a girl at all" that i finally let go of believing i needed to look a certain way (and thus, defying it) and started to dress for myself. i started to dress in clothes that made me happy and feel pretty! alot of which leans feminine, but clothes doesnt have a gender, and how you dress doesnt define your gender either, but it can still be a bit scary yknow? especially since i dont want people to think of me as a girl, and drawing a bunch of femstars has really made me learn to love myself more in a funny way. i can put these characters in clothes i think are beautiful, i can explore the more feminine parts of me that i adore but dont want to express in public due to how i want others to perceive me, but it has also warmed me up to femininity even more. because femstars to me feels detached from the expectations of society because its not a real thing!! there are no canon femstars designs!!! i can do literally whatever the hell i want with it and its been so liberating to me!!

all this to say; i think it really sucks seeing the way this fandom treats transfem hcs and explicit genderbends, because like ive said before; they can truly be something so personal. you dont know why that person is drawing what theyre drawing, so its a little unwise to make assumptions based on ........ Well, whatever it may be. i know very well that women dressing the way society expects them to SUCKS, esp if you have personal ties to it, but you have to realize the issue isnt femininity, but misogyny.

[miss-mossball]

hi!! im the same anon who sent that ask, that makes me really happy to hear!! we were worried it may have come across as rude somehow but we're glad it meant well as intended!!! and heck yeah!! we're so glad to hear you're doing good.

DID rep is something that matters a lot to us,, to where we were actually very nervous engaging with the idea and showing our own perspectives on it. because we somehow got it in our head that people would accuse us of faking it. or misrepresenting, or whatever the sort. which! seems a little silly, now that it's put into words,

but those types of insecurities rule over us, so seeing it elsewhere is very deeply encouraging!! we're two years out of our bad life, and like... a year into figuring out who we are. so i think that'd be a good start! ehehe...

it's hard to accept the idea of being treated softly, even Now, but maybe it'd be easier to get used to the idea and the feeling if it's not.. Directly us experiencing that gentleness. hard to say, but an exciting experiment to conduct in soon time.

....this got deep i initially came here to make an amusing observation,

wanted to say 'wassup fellow ally of the Moss Allegiance' because i used to be called moss online, so my partner whose also been very deeply supportive of us and our explorations of our everything calls us marimo!

I only took your ask as something nice, please don't worry <3

DID rep is super important for me too! (which is why I have a review blog specifically for reviewing DID in media - @bunnidid-reviews ) I haven't done a proper review in a while, but I'm always trying to sniff out pieces of media that treat DID with compassion most of all

About your insecurities of being fakeclaimed, I can relate to that. I've done many things to mitigate ever being directly pointed at for having DID, like partitioning off my parts stuff and integrating them into stories so they're more like OCs, as well as changing details so when people do get nasty, at least I have some distance. It's not a silly fear, it can be very destabilizing when the disorder is based on denial itself. However, I've only ever had two people try to fakeclaim me, and one is a stalker who doesn't understand DID but I trusted with details with, and the other was someone who seemed very insecure about their own DID. Both those people don't know me well enough to actually say if I do or not, when I've been knowing and working around this for about 8 years.

And as for not feeling worthy of being treated softly, you are. But I also understand the struggles with not feeling worthy or conflicted about it, which is a major theme of my art. It might be worthwhile exploring the darker themes of the disorder in your art and stories. I find it helps me a lot to put my feelings into some sort of form that I can also look at later.

Also, no one says you have to post it publicly! I have dozens of writings that the public will never see. I have art I don't share with anyone at all. I just post here so Rou and Chime can see it without me shoving it in their face =v= )b (I also cant tell when im developing OCs or if parts are drawing always)

Ummm anyway thank you for your asks <3 Sorry for the super long ramble, this is stuff I'm passionate about. Much love and care your way fellow Moss!! (moss is great, I love Marimo as a name)

[agentlove]

Also Mingus. Of course

SEND ME A CHARACTER!!

MINGUS!!!!!!!! OF COURSE. under the cut lol

Sexuality Headcanon: bi :] it's ourple just like her. i don't think she especially cares for romance or ponders her sexuality much, but in less of an "arospec" way and more of a "forming human connection with her is a losing battle" way. i usually love arospec hcs and do see aro mingus somewhat often but it's just not something i really see myself.

Gender Headcanon: generally cis woman but i feel like if she learned what being nonbinary was she would try and release and trademark her own neopronouns and make people pay to use them. i do also see her being interpreted as transfem sometimes and i think that's a really interesting reading but not one that i actively subscribe to.

A ship I have with said character: ghghnmnnormingus. it's been really fuckin funny watching the tides change in the fandom on this ship - for a while i'd pondered it but never said anything, and then there was the time period where it was considered a weird cursed minority and i got vagueposted about it, and THEN mich came and singlehandedly pilled the masses and now its just, like, a ship. funny how that goes. but all of that talk aside, i just think they have so much potential in, like, every stage of their dynamic. the timeframe where norm's consumed by his completely one-sided obsession (/neg) with her is SO fun to think about, as is the idea post-canon of them forging a more normal relationship and possibly more. they're two of dialtown's most intricately-written characters imo, and it really shows in how layered all of their interactions are :'] there is so much baggage between them and simultaneously so little (with the point of "norm cares way more about her opinion of him than she even thinks about him") and it just makes the final confrontation of ch3 pay off so damn well. listen to nemeses by jonathan coulton it's THE normingus song to me. ⬇ SOOO ch3 norm @ mingus to me

A BROTP I have with said character: god her dynamics with all the mingling are so funny, i could listen to that group of people babble on literally forever. i wanna hear them talk about non-green related issues i want to hear what this room sounds like when its time to argue about, idk, taxes

A NOTP I have with said character: dialtown does not have that many options for edgelord proshittery but i have seen efforts at the one(1) they have. Unfortunately .

A random headcanon: always has some kind of headwear on, whether it be her trademark little hat or other ones she has made for her, or headbands or headscarves or whatnot. it's mostly cuz her head looks really off to me without the hat so i work in substitutes when im drawing or imagining her in more casual settings

General Opinion over said character: the height of dialtown's writing, her and everything to do with her. dialtown is already a good game but it goes from good to great when mingus takes center stage, imo. she's so interesting and also funny to watch - i think "seems silly but actually has deeper stuff going on"-type stories are best when the silly and the serious are tightly interwoven and you can't really distance them from eachother, and mingus is a great show of that as an inherently super tragic but also super funny character. there's not a word of dialogue she speaks where you don't get the impression of how pathetic and overcompensating she is, and that works both for humor and for sadness really well. i also like, in general, when typically "sympathetic" character flaws are played to be difficult or dangerous - in mingus' case her insecurity and desperation to follow in her grandfather's footsteps, and her compassion in wanting to be one of the only people left who still really care about him, it's objectively very noble- but less so when it becomes everyone else's problem rather than just hers. she has this in common with her grandfather 👍

Stealing Fizzy's post bc I can do WHATEVER I WANT

@fizzywashere87 @erm-ackshally

~Pros and cons of dating yours truly~

Pros:

im super fucking loyal (unless you're a massive piece of shit, I will NOT leave you)

Im really affectionate (I will let you know how much I love/care about you at least 7 times a day. Occasionally, you may receive a paragraph of everything I love to about you and how happy you make me)

I'll send you memes/things that remind me of you/things you like

If you ever show me a picture of you, you better believe I'm hyping you the fuck up telling you how pretty/handsome you are (personal hype man 😎)

Good morning/goodnight texts

I love giving/making you little gifts (bracelets, pretty rocks and buttons, charms, etc.)

Random picture of two cats captioned 'Us?' Almost every day

I will absolutely 100% respect your boundaries. No question. You don't like me doing something? I will never do it again. (you better respect mine though)

Double Edged Sword:

I will make sure you've eaten/drunken water/slept enough (although I won't take my own advice on the subject)

Im funny as fuck (although the jokes are a coping mechanism and I often times won't take things seriously)

I will recommend/show you pieces of media I like (but I will be incredibly crushed if you don't like it/will pester you until you view said media)

Cons:

Im absolutely dogshit at consoling people, so I'm not much help if youre looking for comfort (ill definitely try though)

I am massively insecure and will definitely think you'll end up hating me

Its insanely hard to get me to open up and talk seriously about my issues/problems

I am terrible at communicating (you will almost always have to initiate conversation)

I will sometimes refuse to/just not take care if myself (eating, drinking water, showering, etc.)

If I don't know what to say in a conversation, you will get memes instead. Even if its supposed to be a serious conversation.

I can be extremely arrogant/cocky/stuck up at times

Im always right.

If I don't feel like talking, I wont. (I might ghost you for a day and a half with no explanation)

I have horrible anxiety so I'm always thinking that you hate me/are going to leave me

I will make shitty jokes about serious issues of mine (iykyk)

You have to incessantly bug me to get me to tell you how I'm actually feeling

Smal things like not receiving a goodnight back will absolutely make me think youre mad at me

Constantly seeking praise/validation

Jokingly (genuinely) self deprecating

[termagax]

would love 2 know (🫰7 , 💌 8 , ❤️‍🔥1 ) ^_^ for fishhook

🫰7 - If you were to build a mini playlist to associate with your f/o, what 3 songs would you include? What songs would your f/o think to use for you?

oh my god. only three? let me think. songs i associate with him..  every song ever.... hm. i guess if i was gonna name songs that i think describe fishes attitude towards him, i'd pick...

feelings of love - the obvious (A LOVE PURE AND DEVOUT / WHAT BULLSHIT)

hertz - amyl and the sniffers (TAKE ME TO THE BEACH, TAKE ME TO THE COUNTRY, CLIMB IN THE BACKSEAT IF YOU LOVE ME)

animal - sir chloe (I'LL ASK POLITELY, GIVE ME WHAT I WANT, MAKE ME BEHAVE LIKE AN ANIMAL)

and three that are for how he sees fish...

the only thing i know - the mountain goats (HOW MUCH DO I LOVE YOU? WELL, YOU KNOW YOU'RE DYING. AND I KNOW YOU'RE DYING TOO.)

a pearl - mitski (YOU'RE GROWING TIRED OF ME, AND ALL THE THINGS I DON'T TALK ABOUT // I'M SORRY I CAN'T TAKE YOUR TOUCH, IT'S JUST THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH A WAR AND NOBODY TOLD ME IT ENDED)

my heart goes bum bum bum - flatsound (YOU'RE THE THOUGHTS THAT I FEAR, YOU'RE THE MOUNTAINS I'VE CONQUERED, IF I TOLD YOU I LOVED YOU WOULD YOU REACH OUT AND TOUCH ME? YOU TASTE LIKE THE OCEAN AND YOUR BODY'S DISGUSTING)

this is so hard but im trying to be concise and cohesive. fishs are all upbeat songs about desperately needing love from someone who probably fucking hates you and hogs are all slow angsty songs about trying to love someone who makes you disgusted with yourself. i could do a sappier version of these that are actually about them Being In Love and stuff but oh my god i make so many posts about their playlist you guys MUST be sick of it by now.

💌8 - What about those more unpleasant "firsts"? First argument? First time seeing the other cry? First time breaking up if y'all are messy?

first argument i actually literally have a whole comic scripted out somewhere about, the gist of it is that ants parents find out that they uhh dropped out of uni to do a technical terrorism with their boyfriend and freak out and insist they come home and get their shit together and theyre like come on man can you believe this shit and mako is like well. maybe theyre kind of right. and it gets SUPER messy and extremely personal because annie has never been able to let anything go and they have a good eye for other peoples insecurities and they know exactly how to needle him. and mako has some poorly-controlled anger issues and a lot of shame about everything hes ever done or said and in general is just a weak person emotionally and a strong person physically. so really all it takes is a couple of jabs about how he sees them as old enough to fuck but too young to date and suddenly walls are being punched and people are storming out and driving off. luckily theyre both still in the part of their lives where they can say sorry to another person so they do figure that out.

i dont think mako cries super easily like ever so genuinely i think the first time they actually see him cry would be during sex in the wasteland era. starts as a pain response but its just been so fucking long that he cant stop and suddenly its an Everything Response. on the other hand i think annie is an angry crier so hes probably seen them cry a good number of times and it wigs him out every time. he doesnt know what to Do.

first breakup is um. the Big One. accidentially nuke 1/2 your country and then he drives off into the night and all youve got to remember him by is a dogshit note and severe radiation poisoning. beautiful.

❤️‍🔥1 - What kind of dynamics do you engage in when it comes to intimacy? How important is it to your relationship? Is it intense, or kept lighthearted and fun?

there really arent strict rules for them, theyve probably done it every way possible, but the standard kind of evolves over time. when theyre young annie tends to kind of be the director, theyre more experienced and know exactly what they want from him, though they tend to encourage him to be the Boss and go harder with it, and then when theyre wasteland on-offing it they tend to fight each other for control which usually ends with fish on the bottom getting their ass handed to them, and then when things mellow out and they fall into a smoother rhythm it gets less intense emotionally speaking but a lot freakier. and i think as hog gets older especially and he fucks people who Arent Fish he kind of learns that he prefers to be kind of a subby bottom and i think w rat he is the spoiled little princess of that dynamic (which i imagine to be a bit stricter on the d/s stuff) which sort of bleeds over to how he is with fish, and theyre more than happy to be in charge though again theyre a lot looser with it and they both definetly prefer to not make it easy for each other. i think as they get older and more stable in the relationship it gets a lot more openly affectionate and sweet, theyre less mean to each other and more teasing, especially from fish who takes great pleasure in embarrassing hog just by complimenting him too much. oh also i dont know if youve gathered but it is Extremely Important. there are periods where if they didnt love fucking each other so much they probably wouldve straight murdered each other. fishgirl dick is just that good i guess.

[formerlyfandy]

I'm too socially insecure to dm so hi from your most emotionally distant mutual your coolest anon. I like what ya post/reblog. Noticed your latest hyperfixation is Date Everything, I'm also into Date Everything. I'm wondering; Who your top 10 dateables are so far and why?

GAAAAAH I HAVE TO RATE THEM NOW NOOOOOO (Just kidding!!! i've been meaning to do a list for awhile now, this is just gonna be a bit tricky since i dont usually rank my favorites lol)

before we start, i will have to say, i tried my best to avoid spoilers because i reeeeeeeeeally wanted to play and find out more for myself, so this is just out of what i know as of answering this

okay, i have to say. after writing my original answer, i realized that was NOT answering the why part, so i'm rewriting my entire list. rankings are the same, just. actually have an explanation this time lmao

Jerry. this man's awkwardness have truly charmed me. I also love to collect stuff (mostly trinkets and random things that i think are cool, not sure how much of a hoarder that makes me though...), so I found him pretty relatable, and easier to connect with!!!

Mateo. this man's love for the inanimals??? (pardon my unintentional pun, but) this man seems so soft???? he's so loving and caring towards them, that my heart just decided that he was ABSOLUTELY one of the people i was going to fall for.

Parker. i've only seen a few clips of him, and know that he's voiced by brennan lee mulligan, but this man's energy. that's it, his energy is literally what's captured me. i mean how else do i put it?? ... thinking about it, i suppose you could say his personality, which. yeah, that's definitely a factor in this too.

Chance. GnG NERD. BIT OF A FLIRT??? DID I MENTION A GnG NERD. THE WAY HE GREETS YOU?? VERY MUCH A NERD AND I SAY THIS WITH ALL THE LOVE IN MY HEART, AS SOMEONE WHO LIKES DnD.

Stella. she is. so sweet???!?? literally so very kind, i haven't talked to her much, but she is just so polite, and i know i wanna support her and her business, i just reeeeeeeally want her to be careful about the whole pyramid scheme thing

The Hanks. are you kidding me??? they are an entire ENERGY on their own, they've got a really fun vibe/atmosphere and i love it. they seriously seem like such a fun bunch to hang around

Rainey. I love her design, i love her aesthetic, i love the object she is, i love that she dances no matter what the music does. i would love to dance with her.

Penelope. her design's what reeally drew me in, but once i met her, i loved her whole personality. i am absolutely romancing my office supplies, please.

Mac. Super gender. Major gender. they're not my type, but they still seem absolutely frickin cool??? 10/10, would be friends with them, definitely been friends with at least one person like them.

Daisuke. I don't know much about this man, but his design?? I love. from what little i know about him?? he def seems nice. i did try to talk to him earlier, but i said hello and then the interaction stopped?? idk if that's a bug or a glitch or something, but i'm gonna try again for sure.

since you made it this far, i have a sort of gift for you!

at the time of writing my original answer, i was actually drawing jerry!! so for you, my coolest ever anon, you get a special sneak peak at one of the drawings!! :]

alright, i'm leaving my original response after this point, so if ur not interested in that, feel free to click off now. but like. thank you thank you thank you very much for asking, i rlly had fun making a list, and it gave me a chance to show off some of my faves of all time ever :]]

auh great here we go lol

vvv original response down there vvv

okay okay, i have to say. my top number one dateable is jerry. there's not enough jerry appreciation in this fandom methinks, and i've fallen in love with him ever since his voice actor was revealed. im proud to say i romanced him first run on the demo without even trying (i collect trinkets and random objects bc i think they're cool. not sure where that places me on the hoarding scale. [half joke])

MATEO. I HATH FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HIM ALSO, I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO HELP HIM WITH HIS MISSING INANIMAL. i am so scared of messing up helping him though like. i chose to skip dirk and harper's whole thing, and i hope to the gods i didn't mess anything up by doing it. (i don't think i did, but y'know. fear)

PARKER!!!! i need to get to him SOONER, GODS please. i have only seen a few clips of him online and know he's played by brennan lee mulligan but like. i already KNOW i'm gonna fall even harder when i see him.

CHANCE, GODS it was hard to determine where he and parker lie in relation to each other. the second one i originally fell for, i love this nerd. ended up unintentionally romancing him too my first demo run cause i was too busy enjoying the g&g campaign lmfaoo. pleeeeeeaaaase i need to play another campaign with him im begging the universeee :((

STELLA!! before playing the game, i didn't even know she existed, and that is a CRIME, i've only jsut met her but i'll be DAMNED if i haven't fallen for her already. she's so pretty.... wife... please....

THE HANKS, dude, i love these dudes. they've got such an energy that i can't even BEGIN to describe, but i love it all. i just know these guys would be especially fun to hang out with!!!

RAINEY!!!! I LOVE HER DESIGN!!!! DUDE she is amazing, i would ABSOLUTELY dance with her. i love her aesthetic, please let me dance with you ma'am. please. please.

PENELOPE!!!!!! im. sounding repetitive, aren't i, but i swear i fell in love when i saw her. er design especially though, i LOVE it!!!!

MAC!!!!! dude, mac is literally so frickin cool. DARE I SAY THEY'RE MAJOR GENDER TOO. I love them, i think they're cool, but unfortunately, they're not my romantic type? i would ABSOLUTELY still wanna hang out with them though like??? aaagh?!?????!

DAISUKE, have you SEEN the man??!??? this guy is the one i know the least about, but already, he has made it to the top 10. i just KNOW he's gonna be someone i romance.

We Gon Be alrightttt

so i just finished my shift at grace, previous to my most recent post. and i am doing good! Grace wasnt super busy, Owen was really nice and he said i worked well purr. i ran into rivano which was nice i havent spoken to him in a while. he had a good proposition which was to work at grit for a night. sounds really cool ill try see if i can. and i also had a revelation about this me and sergio situation. before i saying anything i will say my previous. post about him are very harsh! it was from a very hurt place which i accept and appreciate i can identify it. but basically i was coming from a place of "i want to shit on him" not literally! figuratively! i wanted to hurt him as bad as he hurt me and then i realized i did already ! in the beginning of us hanging out i was a little distant because he was soo sweet and nice and i thought it was too good to be true. i didnt think he could actually like/love me because of my own insecurities. i remember he wanted to hangout and. i said no because i had work. i didnt want to get into because i was also meeting jess after not seeing her for like 5 months! we ended up back at ayla and i saw him sitting outside and i ran! ignored him, he made such a sweet gesture when he was deeply hurt and i hurt him more :(.i did hurt him and then he decided to focus on himself and i got hurt in the process. because somewhere along him choosing himself i chose him too. when we first hung out alone (when we played basketball) all that was going through my head was "maybe right person, wrong time" i wanted to say the opposite so idk what that means. but anyways if we are meant to be we will! i want to focus on me too now and will see how to it goes. idk how to handle sergio when he gets back, idk if i should ignore him or act like everything is fine. well it is fine but i dont need to dwell on something that isnt there. i feel better! and if you can identify the problem/ "the why", its half way solved. or expressing the problem correctly means its half way solved. sum shit like that. i was really hurt earlier and i might even feel sad again later but "we gon be alright!". i also did a "call back my energy" cleanse with sage before i left i think that did something good as well. And i prayed!!! ill try it tomorrow again. im gonna be okay! more than okay but i shall be good.

hopeful, if i dare say. some may say hope got me into this mess, but what is left if there is no hope. but to counter argue i say hope will get me out of this!

lol had this shit in my head during shift i had to type it out! bahhahabhabhabhahah. but yes i shall succeed and be amazing !! :))))

Hi there, friend! I'd love to hear you ramble about two of my favorite Black Clover pairings Langris x Finesse and Finral x Vanessa, if you don't mind? Also, can I hear your Duck x Fakir from Princess Tutu opinions as well please? The awesome fanart you've been reblogging of them recently has given me life! Cheers!! 💖

Hi Acacia, thank you so much for the ask!! 💕 I’m having a horrifically busy semester, so I greatly appreciate the chance to sit down and talk about some of my favorite characters. This is SO EXCITING, prepare for a very lengthy post 😅

💛💙 Duck x Fakir (Starting with these two because they are my everything right now.)

My roommate convinced me to watch Princess Tutu a few weeks ago and I totally fell in love with it! The character arcs are so spectacular. I actually thought about asking you if you had seen it, as it seemed like something you might like based on the other shows you post about (But then I had already pitched it to everyone I knew irl so I figured I should just relax 😆).

But getting back to Duck and Fakir, I think they’re absolutely perfect for each other. Personally, it makes sense and compels me. I believe it’s canon that they have feelings for each other, or at least it’s strongly implied? Either way, Duck inspires Fakir and Fakir believes in Duck, which i think is so sweet, and I feel like Duck and Fakir bring out the best in each other. Also, the way they change together throughout the story is so beautiful! They both end up in way more mature and healthy places than when they started and were a big part of the other person’s growth. I think the best ships are the ones where the narrative weaves their stories together in that way.

This is just me ranting, but I need to mention how beautiful it is that Fakir loves Duck not as Princess Tutu, just as Duck. In Mytho’s case, he thought of Duck as a friend and he was very kind to her, but he didn’t love Duck, he loved princess Tutu. For Fakir to love the real her ties in SO WELL with how she grows from her insecurities and confusion about her identity. I could also scream for a very long time about the fact that Fakir would stay with her forever, even if she was only a duck. The love they have for each other is so mature, but also so sweet and innocent at the same time. They’re perfect!

That’s why the conclusion of their arc broke my heart so much, because they were perfect for each other and would have made each other so happy. It’s so bittersweet. I wouldn’t change it for anything, but I’m a sucker for the fics on ao3 where Fakir writes her back to being a girl. I can envision them having such a happy future together.

🩵🖤 Langris x Finesse

Im so excited to get the chance to talk about these two. They’re one of my all time favorite pairings and they’ve been on my mind recently! In my opinion, they make sense and are super compelling.

I sort of feel like at this point, I’ve thought about them so much that they’re more like my headcanon characters than a faithful representation of the actual characters in the show (I tend to do that lol😅). But even if I try my hardest to separate all of that from what is officially canon, I personally think that Langris and Finesse make more sense than Finesse and Finral. I could see those two being good together under different circumstances even if they aren’t my favorite ship, but I’m really not on board with the way the show is handling it. I’m not gonna open the can of worms that is Finral returning to his abusive household right now, but that is very unhealthy (and it seems like the show is encouraging it??) Even beyond that, I feel like Finral isn’t in the right headspace right now for a healthy relationship. He’s trying his best and I wholeheartedly believe that he cares about Finesse. But he’s been using romance and idealizing girls as a coping mechanism for a very long time, and from what we see on the show I feel like he’s romanticizing Finesse to a degree that wouldn’t be healthy in the long term. She’s his childhood crush and dream girl, and he feels like if he becomes “good enough” for her he can “win her heart.” I don’t know if I’m explaining this right at all, but in my opinion he’s not really treating her like a partner, as much he’s treating her like an ideal to someday be good enough to achieve, which is more tied in with his own self worth than actually seeing her and loving her for all she is. (Although I would totally see them together under different circumstances if he takes time to work on himself!)

Anyways getting back on track, we don’t see that kind of idealization with Langris. He seems to see her and what she wants more clearly, and loves her enough to accept that she is more interested in Finral and step aside. I feel like they so compatible as well, because neither of them are very passionate people like Finral or Vanessa are. I feel like they would have a beautiful, more subdued kind of love and would be able to fit neatly into each other’s lives.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the time period before Langris was possessed when they were engaged. My heart always breaks when I think about the fact that Langris truly believed Finesse hated him. I think he always felt that she would rather marry Finral, and that he was never able to be really open with her because of this, and even that he resented her for it. I think it’s so compelling that all of this is essentially a misunderstanding, because Finesse does like him, and clearly cares about him and trusts him because even after he went crazy at the royal knights exam she tried to defend and protect him and wasn’t afraid of him (I love Finesse, she has such a beautiful heart). I think that after some character development on Langris’s end, they would be good for each other.

💚🩷 Finral x Vanessa

Vanessa and Finral my darlings!! They have such a sweet canon friendship and seem to support each other so well. For me they make sense and are compelling.

I love how on Vanessa’s end, she is gentle with him when he needs support, but she also isn’t afraid to speak her mind to him in the early seasons when he’s being a sleaze. She keeps him in line, both in the sense that she helps him be a better person and also that she pulls him back to reality when he’s spiraling and feeling insecure. And since I mentioned Finral’s idealization of girls before, I should say that I personally can’t see this happening with Vanessa because they’ve been friends for so long and have both seen each other at their worst. He knows her so well that he couldn’t idealize her if he tried. If he falls in love with her, it’s because he truly sees her and loves her for all her faults. I think they would work so well in a relationship together in a hypothetical future when Finral has decided that going back to House Vaude isn’t the right choice and has gotten over Finesse.

Also on the topic of the future, I see them being incredible parents. They are both passionate and caring people, and I believe they would fully devote themselves to not repeating their parent’s mistakes. It would need to be a slow burn and they would both be very cautious because they value their friendship so much. But I think they make so much sense together!

Thanks again for the ask, I had so much fun with this!!
