tl;dr: H:SR Kaeya doesn't like overly-complex, conflicting & impulsive human behavior as it goes against his simple & logical nature as a being. He's bound to never overcome this obstacle, with all the conflicting emotions it comes with.

The biggest obstacle in passing off as fully human, for a being of the Enigmata, is the complexity of human behavior.

When normally something layered and difficult to understand would fascinate them and keep them engaged, this particular instance goes against their nature: beings have been created to deal with anything in their existance with logic and tranquility, picking the best path to avoid any complications arising during the problem-solving process. I have also explained in another headcanon that beings aren't made to feel extreme emotions in stressful situations with all the implications of the case, so complex emotions are something they try to avoid at all cost.

Kaeya, Emanator and Enigma, is not an exception.

From what he has extrapolated during the millennias of his life on multiple planets:

- Humans would love to live peaceful lives devoid of problems; however, when confronted with a problem that has a rather simple solution, most of them will bemoan and lament about it without attempting to solve it at the roots. This will lead to the completely solvable problem evolving into something bigger and more complex to dispose of, leading to more despair from their part. He has learned that this behavior is called self-sabotaging; - Most humans love to settle in a peaceful lifestyles, but this also bores them, thus leading them to fall out of the latter. Consequences also seems to be something deeply hated by humans, yet the logic of ''if I do X, then Y will happen to me'' never seems to appear in their mind. Human behavior is impulsive in the worst ways, this is what he wrote down in his notebook; - Most of them also have a passion for overcomplicating feelings and situations, leading to stress and miscommunication that seems to be unwanted, yet the behavior seems to prosper. He supposes that this also is in the realm of self-sabotating. The mental gymnastic to avoid saying explicit things is impressive even to a being that speaks in riddles;

Kaeya is terrifyingly good at observing and analyzing things, able to understand the feelings underneath and gently coax the Truth out, eventually and with time. However, when people observe him back and deduce that he's attracted to complex thing, they may make the mistake of thinking that this includes complex people into it. That their behavior may be fascinating to him just as objects are.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

In his bonds, Kaeya likes simple things, loves when actions explicitely underline care and affection, if there's some, showing that while his partner may be conflicted, they do feel something for him. He likes to use and receive words of affirmation, often uncomfortably truthful, when situations get too ambiguous for his likings, taking the matter in his own hands rather than leave the other spluttering around for words.

The complexity of the human being may be fascinating for some, but Kaeya has grown to be uncomfortable around too much of it.

It reminds him that there's a very physical wall between him and a normal human that he'll never manage to climb or burst down, because his methods and actions are simple, compared to the other person's methods, and he keeps seeking simplicity. He cannot evolve on that front, because simple is what he was made into.

Simple is how he always operates, and how he'll always operate, regardless of how human he'd like to be. He can understand the reasoning (boredom, self-sabotaging urges, etc.) behind imploding one's life, but the appeal is lost to him. If it was him, he'd much rather communicate that he needs a change of scenery and pace to the people in his life that matter. There are consequences to every actions that cannot be escaped forever, so he'd rather be forward instead of being dragged along and straight into an unpredictable obstacle because he gave in to his impulses. Not that he doesn't give in, sometimes, but most of his impulsive actions involve only himself, and not others. The consequences of his actions fall on him and only on him, as it should be.

In his close bonds, however, he feels safer than trying to observe confusing behavior from afar: he's confident that if he speaks up to the person about getting uncomfortable with the mixed signals they're giving him, said person will possibly understand his plight in wanting them to be a bit more forward, and will find a middle ground to avoid pushing him away alltogether. For him, it's this simple, and it should always feel like it'll be this simple.

While sarcasm, irony and the likes don't escape him as often (he has learned to read into the tone of voice), people's impulsivity and strong tendence at being unpredictable. Every time he's met with it, he feels the other person dragging him right into the obstacle.

The wall is said obstacle, and the other person is pulling him into it face-first, doing more damage than good- he can't read that language, and he can't be forced to, because his mind operates differently. He'll crash into the bricks head first.

It'll always operate differently. He'll always crash into it without a proper way to destroy the wall not because he lacks the tools to- but because the difficulty of depth and contrasting, fickle behaviors, if overdone, make him feel negative emotions. It's in here for protection, too.

Twilight getting caught up in the illusion of having a family and then feeling bad for Nightfall since she's so lonely and has no one and no one likes her at all (like Handler can't even get to assign her with any other agents cause they all hate her) so he tries to get her to socialize with the other ladies at her job and tries to get her friends but she's so disinterested and doesn't even try

Graystripe's Vow Redux: Ferncloud or Cloudtail?

For my redux of Graystripe's Vow just before the end of TBC, I have decided to make a major change; Graystripe stays with the Tribe to live the rest of his days in peace. The warrior who interacts with WarriorClan will be different.

It's either Ferncloud or Cloudtail, asking themselves an important question; "Is there anything I could have done differently to save Ashfur? Were there signs I could have noticed? Can I speak to him now, using the Moonstone?"

They learn that... no. There was nothing that could have been done, that he wasn't born a monster but sometimes you can't save a person, and they are blameless for what he's done. The truth is more painful than they could have imagined.

They are going to be accompanied by Bumblestripe, who is coming to terms with what he'd done. Having been an accessory to the Imposter's tyrannical regime and complicit in the murder of so many cats out of his misplaced rage at Dovewing, he escorts Graystripe to the mountain, meets his fabled older brother Stormfur, and then accompanies the elder.

So... which cat is it?

The cat that goes on this trip will be the one who confronts Ashfur in the Dark Forest later, taking what they've learned and completing the arc by confirming it.

If it's Cloudtail...

Standing up for Squilf and telling her to stay behind as he brings her message to Ashfur is very meaningful as her uncle.

His loud and bold personality is fitting for that confrontation

WarriorClan is a bunch of kittypets trying to mimic the life he was brought into. He'd get a kick out of this.

As Ashfur's mentor in this redux, it's a unique dynamic to explore, wondering how he failed him.

Can have a mentorly talk with Bumblestripe about mistakes, moving on from them, and taking responsibility.

If it's Ferncloud...

Going to visit the Forest territories is also a trip to visit the graves of a lot of people she lost. Brindleface, One-eye, Elderberry, Hollykit, Larchkit...

Dustpelt is dead, she has no mate left at home unlike Cloudtail.

She has a buff as a teacher-type. She could educate WarriorClan on glyphs, history, and some traditions before she leaves.

In this redux, Ashfur was a kitten when their mom died. She raised him with their sister Elderberry. She feels responsible as his family for his actions.

Can speak with Bumblestripe about family, how loss affects you, but how that never excused how he was treated... and it doesn't excuse how he treated others.

SCREAMING 😂 WHAT does this mean??? I've been here over 2 years now. I have reblogged many more than 5 things. Is.. Is it like, 5 reblogs on one post that weren't just mine because.. Yeah we actually should celebrate that.

[prismaticpichu]

Alrighty. Might as well. Here we go.

Pichu was never the same after this.

Sephiroth let out a long, content sigh, the black spikes quivering beneath his chin as he held his treasured friend tighter. But he didn't move a muscle; he didn't want to jostle Zack--not when he was drifting off to sleep. He could feel it, the way his breath was calming into a slow, gentle zephyr, the way his heartbeat was steadying... the drums growing further and further apart... falling into sync with his own rhythm. Slumber was tugging at his own eyes, though, mesmeric with its call, and the Mako-green light dimmed from the midnight shroud of the apartment as Sephiroth allowed sleep to shepherd his own mind away.

But not before he let himself slip, just an inch. Just a splinter. Just a slight crack in the dam keeping the tender, throbbing affection in his soul at bay. It cracked--and in that moment, cocooned in the warmth of his best friend, in the gratitude that he had someone to hold... safe and sound... Sephiroth let it.

His face buried in the harmless bed of spikes, delicate as glass, soft as velvet, Sephiroth closed his eyes and pressed his lips against the feathery terrain. They lingered there, for a floating, celestial moment, before Sephiroth drew away, brushing past the strands as his own bangs tangled with the quills.

“I love you, Zack..." he mumbled quietly, just loud enough for his friend to hear.

Yep! That’s it. That’s all you’re ever getting from me.

Why were you so skrunkly/pos when you were younger what happened to you

Skrunkly?

The Lady's eyebrows shoot upward at the new word. Now, that's a term she's never heard before. Must be a tongue she has not had the time to grasp yet. Or perhaps a new slang from land. She clicks her tongue: she really is not up to date as she thought she'd be.

Not that she'd ever lower herself to ask for its meaning to a guest, of course. She's so much better than that. Her tone is cold when she answers.

"I grew up."

[snekdood]

anyways i think ive posted this before but the ADL and whatever "rational wiki" is (heard something negative abt it once idk what its about but) both have good index's on dogwhistles to look out for, of course for some things its hard to tell but take context clues and if they use a bunch of other dogwhistles into consideration if you suspect someone is alt right, also consider that some people are essentially taught this stuff w/o context of what it really means sometimes and might just use dogwhistles bc they dont know any better (thinking of minors here mostly). either way gauge for yourself if its safe enough to stick around to find out.
