if this hasn't been answered already, what are your top five favorite cookies? Or, your top five favorite ships? You don't have to explain why if you don't want to, I'll be happy with either :) have an amazing day!!

YOU have an amazing day 🫵‼️ People coming into my damn ask box, telling me to have an amazing day. YOU GUYS need to have an amazing day. YOU!!! You clowns and your kind words and your interesting thoughts and friendly demeanors. "Have an amazing day" the audacity smh

In all seriousness lol! I've been asked about my favorite cookies before, and I've made a couple of posts going more in depth about why I like them (I'll add links whenever I find them again), but I don't mind saying them again. These are basically my faves from Kingdom:

And these are my faves from Ovenbreak:

As for ships... I actually have quite a few, believe it or not. Shipping is fun haha. But I narrowed them down to my top 5 straight ships and top 5 non-straight/LGBT ones for you

(I know we don't know Silent Salt's gender yet but I've already gotten used to seeing them as a man 😅 if that turns out to not be true then I'll be happy to move SilentLily down to the Yaouri section (then just bump up the other 3 and add RedPastry to 5th place))

idk i just find it strange how jjk got an infection au first yet we still don't have one for either naruto or bleach (which inspired jjk). especially Naruto because that franchise has so many what if's scenarios on YouTube and fanfic on ao3 so how the hell did naruto still not get an infection au yet?!

caught up on the episodes and my two cents on bobby’s death is that (if they had to do it, and if they had to make it this “noble sacrifice”) i think it would have been more meaningful if they’d been dealing with a major fire. like how poetic would it have been if his story ended saving his 118 family from a fire after being unable to save his first family from the fire he caused. maybe it seems basic, but on a firefighting show that doesn’t do a whole lot of firefighting, i think going back to the basics—back to the roots of the show, back to Bobby’s roots of what drove him to LA in the first place—would have been perfect

Hey! I love your works, thanks for sharing them! Your stuff is some of my favorites in the fandom!

I just wanted to ask your opinion on how Malenia and Miquella (from FoR and your characterization of them specifically) would view Millicent. How do you think they'd interact with her? Would they avoid her? What would that mean for their own relationship? Etc etc.

Just asking because I think your take on Malenia and Miquella is so interesting to play around with.

Thanks! Your stuff is awesome!!

Wah, anon this is such a sweet message, I'm always humbled to hear people like my works and my characterizations! Thank you so much 🥺💕

I'm so sorry this is so long but as I'm sure you can imagine, I have Many Thoughts about Malenia lol.

I've actually thought quite a lot about Millicent and her sisters and I think, first and foremost, that she doesn't know about them at all. I think after her bloom and being carried back to the roots of the Haligtree that she's basically been in a pseudo-coma as the rot progresses now that she's needle-less, so she might know about the kindred of rot but not Millicent or her sisters.

With Malenia, I really focus on her lack of autonomy as a character throughout the most formative years of her life and the trauma that undoubtedly came with it, where she is burdened with the rot which would have effectively ostracized her from most people except Miquella (because of his immunity to the rot). This is also in addition to her being named as an Empyrean and already having her fate decided for her. So the nature by which Millicent and her sisters came to be, after her bloom and presumably like offshoots or cuttings from plants, they'd be another blow against her autonomy because she didn't have a say in their creation (implied by Gowry raising them and her rejection of the kindred of rot).

Specifically with Millicent, I imagine Malenia would see a lot of herself in her, and I think she would harbor a deep resentment because of that - not because she'd dislike Millicent, but because Millicent would be a reflection of her younger self. Someone who is spawned from her, consequently cursed BY her, to suffer the same hardships. Millicent is the same as younger Malenia, which consequently forces Malenia into the role of the Outer Rot God in their dynamic - unwittingly having taken on the role of the thing she hates. If Malenia had embraced the rot like Romina, I think it would be different, but every time she accepts it, it's when she's at the end of her rope with no choices left and she's essentially resigned herself to death.

This might sound harsh, but it's also why I love her as a character - I believe Malenia is ultimately deeply selfish in her actions where Miquella is concerned (and vice versa ignoring all the DLC). She's sworn herself to his cause, has proven herself willing to die for him, to go to war for him, to commit countless atrocities in his name and inflict the very thing she despises - the curse that has caused her so much misery - on countless others. For him. But! In a twisted way, it's also for herself! Because for once, this is HER choice. She decided to take on the title of his blade and devote herself to him. No matter the ask, no matter the cost.

Miquella, who knows Malenia better than anyone and has been by her side throughout the worst of it, knows all of this. I believe he would be sympathetic to Millicent and her sisters (also seeing a younger Malenia in them) but I suspect that while he would also try to help them in secret, he'd be (selfishly) keeping them away from Malenia so that she wouldn't have to deal with all the trauma I mentioned above. He might feel some guilt about it, but with how I write him in FoR, he's always willing to harbor some secrets if he believes it's in Malenia's best interest. He wants to save her, to give her back the life she's been denied - a life free of her rot and any burdens. And that would mean a life without five magically spawned new dependents whose existence would be inflicting constant psychic damage on Malenia and that she'd feel responsible for.

In a timeline where the twins are far less codependent, and where they're not both so focused on Miquella's ambitions to cure Malenia of her rot and revolutionize the world, maybe Malenia is able to take the time to heal and make peace with herself. In that timeline, maybe Millicent would serve to be a positive and healing influence on her.

It's also extra infuriating if you know shit about computers. Like, my 80-year old grandpa doesn't even know how frustrating it is his email program went from 'click button > process process process > display six line of html' to 'click button > computer with 100000 times the computing power of the machine we used to put people with on the moon fails to display six lines of html and a widdle .jpg > computer with 100000 times the computing power of the machine we used to put people with on the moon fails to inform him it failed at this basic task'. Computers are magic to him! He doesn't know what html is! He doesn't even know how awful this shit is! This is insane. The degree to which programs have gotten worse at everything in comparison to how computers have gotten better at everything should make people riot in the street.

pssst. gcrest. hey I have another film from 1983 you could allude to. gcrest please

[weirdbabs]

doom 2005 is actually a good movie. its plot is solid enough that anyone could watch and follow what going on, the characters are introduced in a way that lets you get a good understanding of what theyre like, its got fun action scenes and is over all an enjoyable movie to sit down and watch. i think it just suffers from not being a “doom” movie. its a resident evil movie calling itself doom

[elena-fishr]

I was thinking about the re5 AU where it was Chris that took the fall in LiN instead of Jill and reading the files it said that wesker basically saved Jill from dying from her injuries, if it was Chris he would let that man die lol

[pretty-little-martyr]

personally i think analogue horror would benefit a lot from Not doing that trope in first-person POV footage where the second The Scary jumps the person, the camera cuts. i get it's another jumpscare mechanism, but i think it would be much scarier for a tape to just...keep going after the camera's been dropped, y'know? really force the audience to sit with the death that they're hearing happen. maybe this is too much of a Film Bro take but how unsettling would it be for one of these projects to have a 45 minute long video where all the action happens in the first 10-20 minutes, and then youre just left sitting helplessly in silence, staring at a ceiling or a wall or whatever, knowing whoever was filming is Very Much Dead?

[liiontai]

btw my official ranking of the mook films is

1. alien invaders

2. witch’s ghost

3. zombie island

4. cyber chase

but witch’s ghost and zombie island are pretty much tied in quality, i just find the hex girls’ music edges it out slightly in my preferences

ive been gettin into touhou recently and honestly one of the most baffling things about this entire franchise to me (so far) is the fact that there is RANSOMEWARE based on the franchise, where in order to get your files back, you have to play touhou 12 on the hardest difficulty until you reach about 200 MILLION POINTS... and honestly i cant tell if thats hilarious or terrifying
