Hi chat, breaking the sonic chain to post a singular homestuck post because ive been thinking about moirail dynamics a lot. Don't follow me for homestuck though probably because this is the only one thats likely to break containment aside from maybe one other WIP in the future. Or do! I'm not your dad :]

Today's Anti-Kawaii Characters of The Day are these unnamed protagonists of the vocaloid song "It's not like I'm mentally ill!" (Or "Menhera Janai Mon" in the original Japanese) produced by Isana and sung by Hatsune Miku and Otomachi Una! The protagonists wear Sweet Girly and Yamikawaii and they fit into the Utsudere and Menhera archetypes!

These characters were requested by @gaybitch-3000!

'thats not his role in the story!' hm i wonder what the point of it is then. hm i wonder what the dead pixel scene means. hm i wonder what wrong organ are trying to say with the context of 'awesome male friendship' and 'corporate hell where the only woman onboard is constantly under ridicule, abused or forcibly forgotten yet is the catalyst' if not this. hm i wonder how curly's physical agony being a direct parallel to anya's mental agony, stripped of voice, agency, just like her, and being forced to watch what happens while not doing jack shit, just like he used to, plays a part in this. i wonder what the moral of him being the final girl says about living with the consequences of your inaction, because of sentimentality, because of status, career and social. hm i wonder whatever the fuck this game was trying to say. hm i wonder what else is on this person's blog Oh Lord there's yaoi penice.

So I spoke somewhat about my thoughts on Emanator Sampo here, but I never really thought of it from a design point of view or what kind of powers he would have until just recently. But I actually kind of love leaning into it from a "stage hand" perspective?

Because like. Aha's body in THEIR official art is completely black, giving attention to all the fun brightly colored things around THEM. And that's so fitting for Sampo! He usually prefers to be a side character. He likes to act from the shadows. His is a much more subtle hand.

So I wonder if as an Emanator, a lot of his clothes are actually very dark? Not necessarily plain, still extravagant and needlessly detailed in things like cut and quality with lots of different fabrics and textures and ornamentation, but dark. Or maybe even his skin itself becomes blackened further down his body; his hands in particular are dark, as a sort of sleight of hand reference.

The motif of a lot of straps wrapped around him like in his canon design is still present, but they're all loose and flowing off of him like paper streamers now instead of restraining him or holding him together. He is no longer contained! Or maybe they're still a bit more rigid/heavy, but just draped more like red stage curtains!

And this is like. Fully self-indulgent, but I love inhuman designs, and there's nothing in canon to say I can't do this, so screw it! Go for broke!! Maybe it's not visible to normal people, but Sampo having a second set of arms would be really cool, as further sleight of hand reference. One set is almost normal looking, but his hands are a bright, attention-drawing white, and the other is dark, set almost in the shadows of the first arms, to act less noticeably.

He also has something of a broken heart design to him in canon (the front of his black shirt with its jagged shape down the middle; his coat looks like a full heart shape in the back), and I actually like him keeping that element as an Emanator, because I think it suits him. Sampo says his taste in aesthetics and views on Elation involve human dignity,

and the story he helps create in Belobog involves the long and winding road of resistance and survival and eventual triumph in the face of some very adverse, oppressing odds. (I'm pretty sure I heard he once called Wildfire "artless" though, plus the man acts like he thinks Shame is some kind of dessert, so like ndkdjzjskkd) But the point being!!

I think Sampo is someone who can appreciate heartbreak and angst and tragedy in a story, because it makes the victory at the end all the sweeter. And this would be another thing he shares with Aha, because I think THEY did bless the Mourning Actors partly just to be a little shit, but also because Aha does recognize tragedy as part of THEIR Path, too, and you can see it in some of the game. So a broken heart motif can still suit him, and I like him having elements of both comedy and tragedy. Like his clothing having a happy sun/sad moon (like the moon in Aha's art) or him having both of the traditional comedy/tragedy masks in his design.

And as Emanator, Sampo can maybe play with the stage settings environment, too. Like lights sometimes behave strangely around him, appearing blindingly bright to someone or dramatically dark. Sampo wills it and suddenly there seems to be a metaphorical spotlight right where he wants everyone to look. And when he doesn't want to be noticed, his face seems to be cast in shadow, he seemingly just fades into the background, no one notices or recognizes him and he sneaks away easily. He can create smoke or fog literally out of thin air without his bombs now, too, the air will just suddenly thicken until his stage is obscured, and Sampo can set the scene as he pleases or disappear without a trace.

And in line with being a stage hand, Sampo can direct attention like no other. He was already extremely good at this as a normal mortal, and becoming an Emanator only took it up to 11, past human limits. Sampo points, and all present feel compelled to follow his fingertip. He looks away, and they all follow his gaze. He can even affect the mood of an audience; he can influence everyone to be calm and placid or he can whip them into a feverish frenzy. Sometimes a crowd will start to become unsettled, agitation stirring until it boils over, until it incites a full on violent mob.

And in the middle of all that chaos will stand one perfectly calm figure, face cast in shadow, until they quietly slip away out of sight.

On the first day of Summer, Marmee wrote word that the typewriter was finally finished with its repairs. They had cost a bit more than she had expected but she hoped it would be well worth-it.

As a small token of his appreciation, Lawrence brought over a fresh baked dessert cake, purchased from one of the local bakeries there in town, while Marmee served a lovely chamomile tea to pair together deliciously. 

"Here she is, Mr. Baudelaire." Marmee's oldest, Meg, said as she brought the typewriter into the dining room. "All fixed up and ready for the Missus." As she handed it over, Lawrence's hands began trembling a little.

He'd waited and kept this secret from Winifred for so long that feeling the weight of it in his hands almost didn't seem real. "I don't know what to say," Lawrence sighed. "Thank you doesn't seem enough."

A warm smile sprawled out on Marmee's face. "Just promise March's will be the first bookstore to sell Mrs. Baudelaire's work. That would be thank you enough." She assured him.

Lawrence gave Marmee a tight hug and Meg, who he'd learned had taken up longer hours to also aid in covering the cost of repairs, a gentle kiss on the cheek before departing.

"You March's are made of everything sweet." He chuckled as he pulled away. "Your generosity won't be forgotten."

my ffvii ships new years kisses:

- zakkura: zack gets really giddy and excited and kisses cloud as soon as new years hits, flustering cloud really badly in the process but afterwards they both cant help but smile at each other and giggle

- asg: they’re all about to just go for it but then they need to pause for a moment as they realize theres three of them… they debate trying to figure out how to make a three-way kiss work but quickly realize that wont work as they all literally butt heads, so instead they have to debate which pair kisses first and just alternate until they all get their kisses from each other, but it takes quite a while because if its genesis and angeal, sephiroth will get upset, he already feels like the odd one out in the relationship, but if its angeal and sephiroth, genesis will absolutely get jealous and throw a fit, so ultimately angeal takes one for the team and decides to let sephgen have the first kiss, and then they promptly decide to shower angeal with love and kisses afterwards, so he doesn’t feel upset about it

- tsengru: rufus goes in for the kiss immediately but tseng, being the rational one, puts his hand up to stop rufus and looks around to make sure no one else is looking, and once he’s sure the coast is clear he lets rufus kiss him, holding up his champagne(?) glass to block the view of their lips from anyone else (i dont know what people drink for new years or many kinds of glasses…)

- renorude(?): they’re absolutely all over each other, like full on making out, even before the countdown, without a care in the world, even as the excitement dies down and everyone else is done kissing, reno and rude are still going at it, leaving everyone else to just kind of awkwardly stare at the spectacle and just pray that they keep their clothes on

- aerti: they’re holding hands and leaning against each other, and as new years hits they both look at each other and giggle happily, just full of nothing but love as aerith leans in and kisses tifa, even as tifa seems a bit bashful about it

- tuestine(?): reeve is really reserved and nervous about it, but lets vincent lean in for the kiss first and then gently pulls down the collar(?) of vincent’s cape hiding the lower half of his face, making sure vincent’s okay with it first, and then they kiss, soft quick and sweet, though reeve is still a bit of a blushing mess that doesn’t know how to keep himself together afterwards

- valenwind: cid just grabs vincent by his stupid collar and pulls him down and gracelessly kisses him

How long has it been since a single living man has lived here? How long has it been since someone cooked a late night dinner, or sat on the couch to watch the television, laughing, playing, living within these walls? For the Home that was built to keep life inside, to give something else shelter while it sat through the rain and snow, the heat and cold, keeping those inside safe and secure, a single day without life inside feels as though it had been alone for years. It begins to think; "what did I do wrong? Do those who call me Home not appreciate the shelter I have given them? Do they not understand that the many years I’ve sat here, my foundations shaking slightly more with every year, my walls slowly peeling and the roof shingles falling out, were all for them?" The House may begin to feel envious. Angry yet Afraid. 

The House is afraid of being alone.

Abandonment happens to houses every day, but what happens when the House feels it? When the House notices the barren living room and bedrooms with beds that haven’t been slept in for so long? What happens when it notices that the family that grew up within its walls are now long gone? Does a House understand death? Does a House understand simple circumstances that make staying impossible? Perhaps not. Perhaps the House only understands that the family is gone now. Like a dog that awaits its owner, it begins to fester. Waiting. Wondering when someone will open its front door.

What happens when the House fears loneliness enough to make it hard to leave? What happens when a Home becomes a prison? What happens when the dog tugs on its owner's pant leg so they can’t leave it alone again? Clawing and gnawing and fighting for someone to stay, for someone to live in it again. It misses hearing laughter, hearing the cries of one being comforted by another, watching and witnessing life itself. What if it becomes jealous? Feeling as though it deserves more than another? What if it feels as though it needs to be a family of its own? What if the child living in the House slowly gains another Mother? What if the real mother of the child is seen as an obstacle? 

The House feels as though it needs to be its own family. 

No one will live here. The laughter of children and adults alike has been replaced with the sound of the stomach growling for company. The facade breaks, the wallpaper peels, the clock’s ticking sounds harsher. The days of having a family living within Its walls are gone, but the House refuses to admit defeat. It remains welcoming despite its festering rage and longing. Perhaps one day the family will be back. Perhaps the family will finally stay here forever. One day, the House hopes, it’ll be back to the way it once was. One day it will never feel lonely and dejected again, even if it has to beg and fight for it. She longs for the day she will be able to find a new family, one that will never leave it, and say, “Welcome Home”.

Why do you think people hate BOTW/TOTK's Princess Zelda so much? I'm puzzled as to why a lot of fans were hoping she would die at the end of both games.

i'm really not sure?? i personally liked zelda in both games, i think her story had a lot of emotional weight. i do know a lot of people are upset with the ending of totk though, since there was basically no lasting consequences and everything just turned out happily ever after in the end (link got his arm back, zelda turned human again)

i wouldn't go so far as to say i wish she died (though that would have been wild and a very bold move for nintendo), but i do think something lasting like some dragon qualities, maybe memory loss, or at the very least link only having his one arm would have been more interesting
