This is jumping the queue bc some really cool people reblogged my last post of Corey and they escaped containment.

Updated sidestep design perpetual WIP

Sidestep days vs retribution. They're slowly reacquiring their self expression. Next book will probably be the full return of the scene/punk look

Bonus Corey sans most of their clothing to show off their tattoos under the cut. CW for healed SH scars

I’m a bit nervous about sending an ask, but the curiosity has won me over, hope this isn’t too many questions

You said you headcannon Leo Valdez as dragon kin so I was wondering, do you think he has shifts often, if at all? If so, does he generally have some types of shifts more often or is it more balanced? And do the other campers and the seven know? If they do, did he tell them or did they piece it together on their own? If he told them, did he have to explain a lot or were they kind of just like “okay” and didn’t question it a lot? Like they just accepted it and didn’t want to overstep or something is what I mean

I think maybe I’m overthinking this, I really hope I’m not asking too many questions or anything

It's no worries at all! Asks/questions are always welcome!

I think his most usual shifts would be teeth/scales, but they're a lot more subtle so he either doesn't notice them as much or can ignore them. Those ones are probably semi-regular for him but again, more subtle most of the time (most of the time... every once in awhile he gets hit with a stronger maw shift and he's just sitting there gnashing his teeth at the air for like an hour cause his mouth feels weird until it goes away). Maybe also horns.

Less common ones for him but ones he'd notice more are probably wings, tail, and talons. Talons i mostly just think would be funny for him cause he has his habit of tapping his fingers as a stim. Him getting tripped up from the phantom talons while trying to stim, being confused for a minute about why his fingers aren't touching the table and he just ends up tapping out morse code into the air a couple inches above his desk instead. Wings and tail would probably just be pretty standard phantom limbs - they're just there and he's aware of them and maybe able to move them a bit. I imagine he'd eventually try to make some 'kin gear to help with those shifts specifically just so his brain stops error 404ing when his dragon limbs pass through solid objects despite his brain thinking they should be able to tangibly interact.

I don't think Leo would know what otherkin/alterhuman is when he first meets the Argo II crew, and probably wouldn't get the opportunity to learn about it for awhile. He doesn't really have the vocabulary to explain how he's feeling - just that he Is A Dragon. The rest of the crew probably also doesn't know what otherkin/alterhuman is either so they don't have an explanation for him, but, yknow, demigod life is already so goddamn weird, if Leo says he's a dragon that's not the most abnormal thing they've heard that week and they'll just take his word for it and accept it. And Jason probably understands the feeling re: being a wolf therian, even though he doesn't have the vocabulary to explain it either, so there's at least some solidarity there.

Earlier on I think Leo would just crack a lot of jokes about being a dragon, not particularly explaining how he feels about it to the others but just kind of putting the concept out there. He might try to explain it if the topic comes up but, as mentioned before, just struggle too much to try and find the words for it (the adhd/dyslexia/autism wording problems do not help there). I do like to think though that, due to their Hades/Pluto kid soul powers, Nico and Hazel would actually be able to pick up on spiritual-origin otherkin/therians/etc if they focused on it - Nico in particular, probably a lot more passively - and be able to kind of see phantom limbs/shifts sometimes (cause goodness knows how souls/spirit stuff works in the Riordanverse and I can have my self-indulgent silly alterhuman worldbuilding hcs if i want to - also at least partially inspired by some journal posts i've read of people mentioning people/animals/automatic doors picking up on their phantom limbs and being able to track the movement and stuff. if any demigod would be able to do that it's gonna be the kids with literal soul/phantom powers). I just find the concept amusing of Leo trying to explain this extremely metaphysical experience and Nico's just off to the side like "Oh yeah no, your soul is a dragon. Like, very literally. Dunno how that happened but good for you. btw why do you have ghost wings sometimes?" And Leo's grateful for someone helping him explain it but also isn't sure how he should react to statement. Eventually though one of the crew stumbles across alterhuman stuff - probably Leo or Annabeth, most likely accidentally through looking into daemonism stuff (you know they both read His Dark Materials) - and they put two and two together and finally have a means to explain it and Leo could not be more relieved (though he still doesn't know how to feel about Nico's soul comments).

I love rotating alterhuman demigods in my brain

Wait where does it say that Arya likes lemon cakes too? I genually don't remember that

that's cool

There's a few things that indicate she does:

In AGOT, Sansa tries to tempt her with lemon cakes to join the carriage ride with Cersei and taunts her by saying she and Lady will eat them all when she refuses

When Arya is starving in Flea Bottom, she thinks about how she wants a cup of milk and a lemon cake + asks a man selling tarts if she could have a lemon one, even though other flavors were mentioned

In ADWD, she thinks that she had known a girl who liked lemon cakes but "that was only Arya"

So it's pretty clear that she enjoys them even though she doesn't have a line where she outright thinks "I love lemon cakes".

my favourite thing about the always sunny podcast is listening to rcg all say something extremely neurodivergent and then agree amongst themselves and convince themselves its completely normal

On a Genshin Poll from a while ago, you said that you could talk about Xinyan way more and it would be nice hear those thoughts! Xinyan is one of favorite Genshin characters (her design is so cool) so if you don't mind talking about her more, I'd love to hear it!

oh i didnt mean xinyan specifically in general i like talking about design (critiquing.nitpicking.praising.etc) so it really extends to most any of the characters. but you asked about xinyan so ill talk about xinyan. design wise shes very nice to look at for. her colors are all so warm with one of my favorite palettes (black/red/white). shes on the simple side compared to alot of other characters and i think its nice makes her alot easier to draw. pretty easy design to remember. for me anyway (big sleeves/braids.big collar. big hair.spikes) i dont really need to give specific reasons tbh her design is just really good. one of the pyro characters ever

I think it's so funny when people work out really exciting and cool Milgram theories because they're honetly writing at a way cooler level than the real thing will ever be 😂 This isn't anything rude and I hope people keep doing it, the only reason I bring it up is because that's my favorite part of the project! There aren't going to be any cunning planners or kidnappers or serial killers. There aren't going to be any blood-chilling villain reveals. Yes, that's the incredible writing you're looking for in a murder mystery! Those are the type of twists that would floor an audience! But Milgram isn't going for that and I'm obsessed with the concept. The real surprises are showing how utterly normal the characters are. How relatable. How they could be someone you meet on the street. How they could be you. There are no monsters in the room full of murderers, and that's the most shocking thing of them all!

The point of all the trial 2 reveals have been to make the characters more human, whether that's show the reasonable flaws of those voted innocent or the complexity of those guilty. Haruka's big "twist" was that he may have seemed meek, but he's a normal boy with big emotions and is capable of violence. Yuno's was that her life isn't the picture-perfect situation that makes for a sympathetic story; she's real and makes her own decisions. Fuuta and Muu's were that they're multifaceted and that other people played a role in their situation. Shidou's was that he wasn't this exaggerated character killing people while madly in love -- he's a human grieving his long-established family and doing subtle sins to save lives. Mahiru's was that she made natural mistakes in a relationship, which were coupled with harmful (but human) coping mechanisms.

I just adore that the biggest surprises have been making the characters more realistic instead of larger-than-life, wildly intense Characters -- because when we experience something that we can recognize in our own lives and people we know, it feels just as intense as if they were! Idk that's just so cool to me!
