between construction dust-induced headaches/sore throat/eye dustiness/etc. and the ttc shenanigans i am not feeling particularly charitable towards the city of toronto this week

#i am straight up not having a good time #going to use the clarity of office air quality to order a fucking industrial air purifier and have it rush delivered to my apartment #fine i don’t feel like spending $1500 so i probably won’t do that #but i will be ordering one and leaving a ‘pls pls pls deliver asap 🥺’ note in the order comment box #can’t solve ttc bullshit #although i may send them some kind of ‘yo could you post literally *anywhere* when there’s a service interruption even if from your #perspective it’s a brief one?? like half an hour of ‘did i miss something or is this just regular ttc delay???’ when i have a job to get to #is still a long time y’know’

Heartbreaking: “problematic” danmei everyone told you to avoid is actually pretty decent and has mildly interesting things to say about poverty and class

#nothing here is groundbreaking or even particularly deep but I do love seeing politics in my silly little gay books #idk. I genuinely think injecting your stories with politics makes them better #even if it’s relatively surface-level stuff like ‘poverty is violence’ it still hits different than #fiction that goes out of its way to try to be ‘apolitical’#(it never actually is apolitical. it just exposes what the author considers to be ‘too controversial’ for general audiences)#erha #2ha #the husky and his white cat shizun #anyway erha hasn’t been anywhere near as traumatizing as people on tumblr make it out to be #like it’s not light reading and you should probably read the trigger tags before diving in #but it’s also not The Most Evil and Problematic Book ever y’know?#cleaning out my drafts #I’m trying to kill cringe and fandom purity culture on this blog so I’m trying to be brave and talk about more controversial things #this has been sitting in my drafts for a very long time

Haaayy can you tell us more about your au where branch finds cooper's egg?

Hiiii!! Thanks for asking! And of course :)

lol turns out I had a lot more thought out. Fair warning, none of this is concrete, this was thought up a while ago and uhhhhh… writing is not my strong suit lol

In this au I had debated whether to make copper a little bit younger, I already hc him as the youngest of the snack pack so idk if its needed lol.

While in the beginning of making his bunker, branch (who’s maybe 7??) would travel farther out into the forest and gather supplies to build when he stumbles on what looks like an egg? Just in time too, ‘cause Coops pops out like in twt, does his little groove, & then proceeds to flop over to nap (being baby is tiring work).

Branch is just ??? cause like what?? Baby? Way out here in the woods?? Why does the baby have 4 legs??? Why is said baby all alone? And that last part makes b pause for a sec bc where’s his family? Did he lose them? Or is it even worse…was he left behind? (He might be projecting a lil).

Cooper and Branch proceed to live where other kids w/o families go. Caretakers try to care for cooper & he is not having it. After all, branch is the first person he’d ever seen, was the first person who’d carried him. He’s imprinted on branch and whole heartedly believes and he is his family. So if C needs to be taken care of B has to be there. It goes on long enough that the caretaker decides it'll just easier if branch helped take care of him; and who knows maybe he'll regain his color being around such a happy little goober.

At first, branch doesn’t realize how much he means to C and assumes his attachment will fade. After all why wouldn’t it when he’s being doted on by warm and cheerful trolls. But nope! Whenever the caretakers aren't taking cooper around the village, Cooper is always following Branch. Around the pod, and through the woods. Branch looks out for him, talks to him, teaches him what he can, and even plays games! I think the fact that branch has been a part of Coopers whole life gives him a sense of obligation perhaps like a big brother?. It's easy to be open to him.

All attempts to foster Cooper are unsuccessful. It's not that Cooper doesn't match the family, it's that he just doesn't want to live with them. Imagine a foster family having the time of their lives singing & playing around & when the time comes Cooper's like 'I had a lot of fun today! Time to go! what?? Stay here? be a part of your family? ...Nope :D

When the time comes that the bunker can feasibly house him, (preteen?) Branch packs up what little he owns, and prepares to leave that night. It's not like the anyone at the orphanage would chase after him. Well, except for one trolling.

It's been years, long enough that their bond is strong, they're brothers in all but name. At least unnamed on branch's side, he kind of refuses to acknowledge it.

Anyway- Branch waits until everyone falls asleep and sneaks out. He doesn't even make it out of the room lol. One foot out the door and a sleepy voice is asking him where he's going. Branch just says he's going to the bunker, that he'll see him soon, it won't be forever you see what im trying to parallel? and it's true. It's not like he's leaving to who knows where. Cooper just nods & yawns out a "bye, see you later". Love me a parallel

Branch lasts an hour or two in the bunker. He's on edge the whole time, racked w/ guilt. Has a little mental spiral until there is just one loud thought of 'what am i doing? there's someone waiting for me' and runs back.

In the joined room, Cooper fell asleep on branch's bed waiting for him. So making sure not to wake him, Branch rests coopers head on his lap. Leaning against the headboard Branch just stares at his vest left at the end of the bed & has a moment of clarity. Like oh, that's why i felt terrible, i left my little brother behind. (Keep in mind that no, he didn’t really do that, but he’s a kid and that whole ‘see you later’ really shook him so he’s making some jumps in logic)(there some projecting happening as well)

So yeah, gained a brother!! yay!!! Cooper beat you to that revelation yeeaarrrss ago lol.

One thing I like about branch being a big bro is this idea that the more he learns about what it means to be one, the less he can understand his brothers. And are they his brothers?? Over the years it’s not looking like it.

#asks #wow didn't think i had that much to say lol #i bet this premise had been thought about before #but it’s still nice to think about :)#make no mistake branch still pretty much lives in the bunker. He only stays in the pod when it’s relatively quiet enough.#there are a lot of bunker sleepovers whenever there’s an overnight party #he officially move out when he’s considered old enough to be coopers carer. Until then he studies up & prepares the bunker #branch has a blue hue to him. it happens gradually so no one really notices #imagine when branch carried bby coops back to the villlage C reaches up and puts his face in hair cause y’know he’s baby #and this baby has a long enough neck to reach #thinking Cooper is 17/18 during first trolls events??#branch is the tiniest bit more integrated into the village #he stays around the outskirts for cooper some days #coopers hangs out in the village if his friends are there. he also likes to join in on some singing and dancing as long it isn’t too loud #he's still part of the snack pack i think?#cooper would not like creek in this au.#lol cooper just straight up tells creek something like ‘wow you sure are full of yourself huh'#lol coopers blunt honesty would probs be more prevalent.#also important point that this all happens while B is a kid #he’s more receptive than if he was older; he hasn’t built thst high of walls around him #rn he’s more sad and scared rather than being at odds w/ the village #first time writing out a… plot summary?? au synopsis??#Thanks for asking!!! uh hopefully you guys liked the ramble :)#any of this can change tbh :) its all been brainstorms for now #idk what i would call this au if i did make it.#i am cringe but i am free #b&c au ??

Hunger games simulator but it's just Kross aus

OH MY GOD you’re so right. hang on

#i ran out of aus and had to get kind of obscure so death’s doorstep and sondertale and like. dogfight and doomsday are there #also this got me thinking about like. legitimate hunger games with the kross aus so i’m gonna talk about that for a bit #excluding forces of nature and fear the forest i think the guys that have the best chance of winning are #the proximity guys. both of them #chains and rings #and *maybe* rental suits killer. both of them and their chances would be heightened if they worked together #my reasoning for proximity is just. think about it #they’ve basically been living the hunger games the whole time #they absolutely have the survival skills. and they’re bonded like shelter dogs so they’d definitely end up working together #chains and rings would be good at fighting i think. so at the start they’d just go ham and wreck people’s shit #but i doubt they’d have the survival skills for it #they fight in a controlled area and they’ve never needed to scavenge for resources like the aka guys have #so they could get places in terms of conflict but i doubt they’d be able to sustain themselves super long #but i dunno they still have a chance #and for rental suits i definitely think killer could go places #like. he already kinda scavenges for stuff. he’s had to fend for himself for the most part. he knows to get stuff. y’know what i mean #i’m doing a trash job of explaining it but like. you know #and if he and cross decided to like actually commit and work together they’d have more of a chance #cause cross is better with like. strategy and like. medical attention #so if killer did the fighting and cross was methodical about stuff like what could be safe to eat and first aid #they might kinda have a chance #i don’t think they have like. the strong relationship aka kross would have and they’re probably not that physically strong #cause they live generally normal modern lives #so i don’t think they’d win. but they could get somewhere #ANYWAY final thoughts i think aka cross and killer might win in those circumstances. out of the main aus anyway #answering asks #denieatsart asks #deni!!

pov a huge twewy/ntwewy nerd visits shibuya part 2

ramen town baby!!! yeah i was not about to climb that whole hill even though it really wasn’t that steep. dogenzaka beloved

you only visit this place once in the main game but there are so so many things i could say about it. man the neku-josh-sho week 2 dynamic was the wildest and funniest thing in the world

spain hill (from above) (idk uhh what’s iconic about here?) (i didn’t trip on any haunted step that much i know)

the vibes of this place… not accessible until so late in the game (in both games) but so good both times. like the story beats that happened here were always excellent. i always loved being at shibuya stream in ntwewy it was beyond surreal stepping out of the station and just actually being here irl

le susukichi boss fight (and some more cool puzzles)

shibuya hikarie! not much to say here but the food you find here in ntwewy looked so good man i need to actually eat more while here

there are a few more actually oops! part 3 momentarily

#peach rambles #twewy #the world ends with you #neo the world ends with you #ntwewy #neo twewy #subaseka tag #mine: twewy #yeah sorry og twewy but ntwewy was a much stronger representation of what this town looks like #the twewy map was so confusing honestly #the 3D really helps in this case #only things i still could not instinctually find were o-east and udagawa #i didn’t find cat street but i think i would’ve if i had kept going i just didn’t feel like it #i mean we made it to tokyu plaza and takeshita street the other day but i wasn’t paying attention to the route we were taking #maybe we took part of cat street idk #i’m just thinking about the first time ya visit cat street in twewy and that fake mission lol #y’know it didn’t feel like it took me that long to get across all the corners of town #sure it was far away but like #y’know if you were walking and dealing with huge crowds and also trying not to be rude yeah it would take you wayyy more than fifteen min #but like neku was a ghost he didn’t have to worry about other people or his own physical stamina right #i feel like fifteen minutes was a doable challenge maybe?#if he’s running and has no physical drawbacks and also knows where he’s going already

chat. chat i have a question. i know ive always had guilt when it comes to getting things for myself, but like. would it be stupid to drop like $116 on the special editions of two games ive been wanting for a while (now because one of which is on sale)? i mean, ive been saving my money literally all summer to use for myself like i haven’t bought anything i didn’t need and i KNOW im not gonna blow through all of it in school because i don’t go anywhere & dont do shit and i know it’s my money and i can do what i want with it but. idk. it feels stupid. is it stupid or is my brain stupid??

(extra context in tags ig idk)

#i mean i got paid like $700 last week and i get paid one more time next week before i’m off for school but still :/#like. like is thinking it’s stupid reasonable or should i. ahem. ‘treat myself.’#the two games in mind have a TON of content so i know they’re gonna keep me busy for a LONG time so that’s kinda why i wanna get them;m #so i can have long grundy games to keep me occupied and not really want to get anything else for a long time you get me?#i know $116 won’t be a lot from my $3000 account but like. still. idk. :/#ofc i have to jump through the many hoops of setting up a paypal to use in the nintendo eshop #or i could just. ask my sister to help me unlink & relink her card so it doesn’t charge hers instead (because her card’s linked for NSO)#but aside from that i could have that shit like. tonight.#not like i play games a lot on the days i have work because i get home so late but still y’know?#i think it would be a nice ‘good luck back at school’ gift for myself #because i love skyrim & pokemon i really do but that’s literally all ive been playing for like over a year now i need to spice it up :/#anyway chat should i or should i not?#grace being stupid #text post #personal

Rating: Mature Audiences

General Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence

Fandoms: Fire Emblem Fates

Relationships: Shiro & Ryoma, Shiro & Felicia, Felicia/Ryoma

Additional Tags: Deeprealms, Family Drama, Family Bonding, Bad Parenting, Fix-It of Sorts, Childhood Trauma, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff & Angst, Happy Endings, Revelation Route, Character Study, Fates’ characters’ bad parenting but from a humanized and resolution-focused perspective

Story Chapter Count: 2/?

Story Summary: Shiro Santori, or Prince Shinonome Masahide?

Shiro's parents lied about his identity to protect him. They lied with noble intentions. It doesn't change the fact that, for Shiro, his whole life is gone, and in its place is a new set of responsibilities as the future Crown Prince of Hoshido. Navigating his new life will already be hard enough, but with the relationship between him and his parents dashed to pieces, he has no idea where to turn. Through battles, explorations of the past, and time spent together as a real family, Shiro may discover that while there is no excuse for such harsh lies, that doesn't mean there is no explanation for their choices... and the ugly feelings on both sides still have strong roots in love for one another.

Shiro may not know who he is, but as it turns out, both his parents are still working on figuring that out for themselves, too.

[Read it on AO3.]

#it still feels so unusual to debut a long fic for a fandom week but y’know what!! this was originally just gonna be a one-shot lol #insert that Adventure Time quote that’s just like ‘I was just playing around with my imagination and then everything got all… intense.’#that’s basically what happened to me #what can I say all three of these characters are ones I have really strong feelings about separately so putting them together my brain kind #went blmmmfnnmneargghhhh #fire emblem fates #fire emblem fates spoilers #fire emblem fates revelation #fire emblem shiro #fire emblem Ryoma #fire emblem Felicia #ryolicia #fe14 #Hoshido #FatesWeek2024 #Koto Writes Fates

Behold, my latest and most enamouring new obsession:

Malina, Lady of the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. As if Red Lotus child OCs weren’t niche enough

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #lok malina #still feel like that’s too vague of a tag but I can’t come up with anything better for now #and yeah. she has completely stolen by heart and I don’t know how to feel about that #don’t think I ever was this attracted to my own art before #to be fair the design isn’t mine. it’s very heavily based on something nina drew back in 2021 #because I did not have the energy or creativity to come up with my own thing #but the art is all mine and I genuinely adore it. super proud of myself which is a rare occurrence #anyways. kat and I spent three days digging this niche lower and lower and now have a he #*hell of a lot of lore about this basically nonexistent character #for lore about a lady from the North Pole a lot of it is rather hot… to the point my cheeks are burning non stop #I would say I’d let her do anything she wants to me but in my very specific aroace-adjacent case it’s more like #I’d let her tell me to do anything she wants to her #if that makes any sense and I have not completely lost my goddamn mind yet #okay. enough yapping. back to the art itself #lazy background because I suck at those and am not currently attempting to learn them. I’ll probably do that over the summer #about time anyway. my characters have been placed against an off-white background for far. far too long #this is the first piece in just over a year that isn’t tagged with sotrl. which is kinda weird tbh #I’ve been drawing my OCs almost exclusively for nearly 5 years so it is genuinely surprise I’m branching out #*surprising #less branching out and more diving from one hole into another but y’know #anyway. in my personal and very correct opinion she turned out absolutely gorgeous #her servants are way too lucky and unalaq is way too much of an idiot. no offence to vaatu but he could never beat out this #and I also have Kat’s personal and very correct opinion to back up my own. two against the void. once again we’re winning #I wanna draw her a lot more bc she has completely possessed my brain. I just wish character interactions were easier to draw 😭#I’ll figure it out. just need to fight my visualisation issues for a proper idea. brb #okay I’m almost at the tag limit so. in summary:#she 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

Love posting my Spotify receipts for the month bc you can always tell when I’ve had smth big to write for one of my classes bc the one Jash song (Dream (Outro from Calamity)) will make the receipt. I did not end up a Jashinator but I do like having a song I can rely on to make me write things.

#rian’s slay compilation #the first time I heard the song I was in a mood all da time so I really identified it w what splitting felt like #idk it doesn’t hit as much now bc I’ve undergone a different sort of mental illness lately (more tired than actively harmful to myself)#^it’s the way it picks up in intensity. that’s what it feels like when you try to communicate how smth feels but they don’t listen and then #go have fun at a concert and you feel so nauseous that you have to leave a shared group chat while you sob your eyes out for several hours.#y’know? anyway June/July was fun. I need four hours of build daily to keep me occupied (tired). it does actually do me wonders.#I’m so big and strong now. idk how big you are my lovely mutuals but I could lift the smaller ones I reckon.#right now I could pick up (not for long) anyone around or under 150 pounds. also preferably not super taller than me but I think it’d work.#it’s a start! I should start lifting. makes me feel big and strong. I wanna pick my friends up.#^sorry to derail this in the tags but I typed that up and was like ‘that’s such a King statement’. it’s bc someone liked a post where I #talked about feeling all overgrown and how King being half a foot shorter than me but still picking me up like a brides made me feel Not #Overgrown #I don’t worry about feeling overgrown so much anymore but I do kinda miss the bride lifting. it was nice every once in a while #it’s small things like that.#side note I think I could pick King up now bc they’re roughly my weight and as we established I can lift ppl about my weight very briefly #it’s the build. it makes me big and strong. it’s all the wood holding and platform throwing

the current lplan is to see ATSV this weekend because of drs appts eating up my thursday and friday (fucking exhausting) so Remember everybody remember it’s only canon if i like it . if mig’s Only Goddamn Movie writes him bad then it IMMEDIATELY is getting thrown in the fucking massive heap of spider-man media that Also Features A Shitty Adaption Of Spider-Man 2099 In It! and i will just sit in the theater crying painful quiet devastated tears in my seat and Frown whenever his scenes come up if so need be. but. if it’s Good my autism will b Fed for ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever i think

#talking tag #atsv #spider-man 2099 #spiderman 2099 #miguel o'hara #kind of unrelated but. like. the more i really Think abt it the more i just Dont Like that migs design IS so Huge and scary actually.#i dont think Miguel should ever Loom. i think he /tries/ to loom and if he is standing on a wall above people’s /heads/ it works.#but. like. Miguel Just Standing There In His Costume should just be like an unnervingly Quiet guy yknow.#it’s SO EASY to mess up miguel’s character he has SUCH a distinct and memorable characterization in th comics that Not Doing Ur Homework—#—SHOWS y’know. and a Movie can only Show So Much while JUGGLING as much as atsv appears 2 be juggling #(long long sigh) not Once have we gotten a story where miguel and A modern spider-man got to. like. just HANG OUT. and Talk to each other.#is it really so much 2 ask for the spider-mans 2 just Talk Abt How Things Change & Don’t. i like it when mig shows vulnerability by bein Emo #idk there is Still Time perhaps i will be proven Very Very Wrong in my Many Worries and things will be fine :))#but. GOD. there are So Many Ways 2 bungle mig. and i dont want to have 2 Wait Seven Years for ppl to calm down again not again

than/rudy/raha is an interesting concept to me becauseee. th.ancred deals a lot with words unspoken. his most meaningful relationships are hurt because he focuses on action to the point of miscommunication. and meanwhile, aside from what he keeps hidden very intentionally, raha says a lot more in terms of affection. because (from his perspective) his time is almost up, and he wants to leave those relationships with the other knowing how he feels without any doubt. y’know………

#lem text #🌊#💎#(<- HE HAS BEEN GIVEN A TAG NOW. <3)#th.ancred ‘suppressor of emotions’ waters & g.raha ‘i have to leave a legacy behind in my words’ tia. OR SOMETHING…..#I DUNNO…. i think about the moment where the crystarium is in peril and you *have* to go but raha makes time to talk to lyna anyway.#because it is so important to him that his care for her is clear. IN CONTRAST TO the scene where r.yne confesses to uri how unsure she is-#about *th.ancred’s* care for *her;* and HE doesn’t intervene to clear *his* side up because it’s ‘not the right time yet.’ DO YOU GET IT……;;#and than has development with this. he is aware of this flaw in himself by the end of shb #but it obviously still wouldn’t come as naturally to him as it does with raha…….#SO; if you put them in a situation where they both have some sorts of feelings for the wol. AHEM #it would be interesting to see that dynamic y’know. raha being generally open about admiration vs. than struggling to convey sentiment…….#IT WOULD BE FUNNY IS WHAT IM SAYING. give these guys a shared crush and put them in a room together. YKNOW #in post-hw than has a few lines that (TO ME?) imply jealousy about another character’s closeness with us;#AND SAID CHARACTER WAS NOT EVEN AS OPENLY FOND OF US AS RAHA IS; SO WHAT IM *SAYING* IS. YOU GET IT. WOULD BE FUNNY. THANKS <3 #THERES SO MUCH TO COMPARE WITH THEM TOO BUT MY TAGS WOULD GET SO LONG. SO GOODNIGHT ILL GET BACK TO YOU HNFDKD <333

As I approach the end of graduate school/college, which feels like the end of the world—since, like many of my peers, college is the only thing I’ve done with my life since moving away from home—I want to thank the universe, Suzanne Collins, and the entire TBOSAS film team.

“Mental health should be managed holistically” yes, yes. But almost never had I needed a hyper-fixation (or good friends) this badly. Blessings on all their households 😂

Me: Yeah I don’t think I can really ship Kratos with anyone. It’s just really hard for me to imagine him in any sort of romantic relationship. Yes I know he was married twice, but still-

God of War Ragnarok: Shows flashbacks of Kratos with Faye

Me, with tears in my eyes: Oh, okay, nevermind.
