#important characterization notes

[cementcornfield]

[Zac] was just trying to tell me to be happy with the win, and I appreciate that about him. Because I can get lost in, just like everybody can, you get lost in the adversity of the season. You can't take winning for granted and I've tried to get better at that.

can i just say. and this is probably a niche hill to die on. that i am so gobsmacked every time someone vaguely hints at the idea that jotaro doesn't care meaningfully for the other crusaders, usually particularly kakyoin and joseph, when those two actually tend to be the ones he reacts to being hurt the hardest

like he cares for his loved ones!!!! that literally plays into his character motives in every single part he shows up in!!! stop lying to me!!!!!!!

Babygirl I can concieve of stephcass dynamics you couldn't even imagine (arospec Cass not understanding why "probably bi but has a job so she doesn't have time to think about that" Steph apparently needs a man (she doesn't, it would just be nice) and doesn't want to platonically settle down with cass in their old age)

too many fics about human saliva being mildly corrosive to Irkens and not nearly enough about human blood being mildly corrosive to Irkens

not that I'm inherently opposed to the former, though I am generally inclined to think that most human bodily fluids would lack the pollutants that are so caustic to Irkens in the first place. however, given how Irken skin reacts to at least some types of meat, blood seems like one of the marginally more likely contenders, and more to the point, an unstoppable death machine burning itself alive in pursuit of the kill is an extremely sexy mental image and I believe in indulging the id

I don't typically like to complain about others' interps/fanon interps but it's always bugged me the way I often see swap papyrus characterized as being a total useless layabout all the time while conversely seeing people jump through hoops to attribute just about everything they can to Sans/UF Sans/etc and point out how, jokes aside, he canonically isn't actually lazy.

I know it's mostly just a symptom of not putting as much thought/attention into characters you're not as interested in, I'm sure I'm guilty of it with plenty of them, but it's just, idk...disappointing, I guess.

My klapollo vision is two messy idiots. They argue literally all the time. They’ve broken up twice for the span of like one or two weeks and both times they were both wrecks. Apollo is the cheapest man to live, he learned to sew so he wouldn’t have to buy new clothes. Klavier is a millionaire paying for a luxury apartment he never actually uses with a fucking grand piano he doesn’t know how to play. They argue about where they want to go for lunch. They can NEVER get married because they’ll never agree on what to do for the wedding.

someone left a reply on the dick garth youngest age post and when i clicked on it, i couldn't see it on the post, so i assumed they blocked me but i could 100% see their blog when i went to it so then i assumed tumblr was just being Bad as usual, but Now the comment is gone from my notifications as well and i don't remember their username so i can't check if they have me blocked.

anyway, if you're reading this random dick stan, i just want you to know that i'm not anti-dick, i'm just very pro garth and i hate to see garth erasure by fab five stans :(

6, 12, 30 for the writing asks ^_^

6. What’s the last line you wrote?

Shaking its head in what seems like disbelief before meeting his eyes again, almost like it wants to say something before it makes a noise like a growl, "oh, you're one of those seraphs, aren't you. A star-eater. No wonder you act like you've lost your mind."

(ignore that that's a couple sentences, the Thought is important)

12. Do you outline your fics?  If yes, how detailed are your outlines?  How far do you stray from them?

Oh yes! I outline my fics thoroughly. Though, I do allowed myself to deviate as much from the outline as I feel like when things go off the rails. Some snippets of planning from a couple fics & concepts:

My outlines are very... One for one. With some exceptions. I tend to basically write a very brief version of the fic and try to get the feelings and words right before I actually write it. This is... Also why it can and will take me a month to write a oneshot. I try to get things Right.

30. How much do you edit your fics?  Do you edit as you write or wait until you finish the first draft?

So! I edit them a bit? I edit while I work, but often I don't really touch anything I've already written unless it's something longer that might be taking a few months to get through. I think the fic I've edited the most is the prologue of Artificial Stars, which was originally a quickly written 2k oneshot into about 5k of actually decent fic.

Usually I don't edit to make something shorter/more concise, since I tend to only come up with more ways to bridge concepts when I go back to it. Also to be fair... There's usually no difference between first draft and final product. I cannot be asked to edit my fics after I write them, I just release them to the birds and pray for the best. (Unless I actually decide to show it to my beta reader in full instead of just sharing snippets as I... usually do.)

Conclusion: Rarely, those thangs are being given to the world as-is unless something is horrifically wrong with them

Hello Screwllum! Can you talk about your experiences during Second Rubert Rebellion?

"It is certainly a story worth telling, knowing the true horrors of war is one of the first steps to understanding why peace is so important, and learning about them from a firsthand source is by far the most efficient way to do so."

"However, the memories involved are ones I have...difficulty recounting without getting caught up in the emotions I felt when they were made."

(he hides his discomfort well, but a small amount of it still shines through in his tone and body language)

"I apologize, the rebellion is not a topic I'm willing to discuss in detail without having given myself sufficient time to prepare my words. I would much rather avoid saying something I will later regret."

In the beginning of episode 9 of Andor, Kino Loy asks who was responsible for the switch around in positions at the table and Cassian says it was Taga despite the fact it was him and Taga objected to it

Taga says an accusatory “Are you serious?” in protest, but Kino either doesn’t notice or takes it to mean Taga didn’t want attention drawn to it because he says “Wise decision,” and Taga realizes he was given recognition for Cassian’s decision, AND that it was indeed a smart choice to move men around.

Cassian works fast, caught onto the job quick, and is also observant to the point he’s assessed everyone else’s craftsmanship and work pace/abilities— He knows how to organize people and get them to work the most efficiently in the circumstances/environment they’re in

playing more Atelier Ryza tonight, I had a cutscene show up where Empel and Lila popped in while Serri was there, and something unexpected happened:

Serri is the nice but quiet party member. She likes flowers. She’s searching for a legendary plant that will revitalize the Underworld after what Klint did to it. She apologizes to Ryza and co. for “imposing on their good will” (ie: tagging along to search the ruins with them for her own goals) and generally acts like the Kuudere archetype.

So it’s interesting to me that when Lila shows up and they introduce themselves to one another, Lila’s like. “Hey, wanna talk somewhere more private?” And then when they’re out of earshot from Empel/Ryza, she flat out goes “Hey. What the fuck is your problem with Ryza.”

And then Serri looks at her like she’s an idiot and goes “What do you mean? She’s an alchemist. Of course I despise her."

Her personality wasn’t an act or anything, she’s still a nice and pleasant person. But she also casually implies that she kind of wants her to curl up and die, thanks. Which is a fascinating dynamic for a party member to have.
