IMPORTANT POST PLEASE READ
Im gonna be honest and open for a sec, and please do not take this as "oh I HATE my community or I dont like the people who watch me" but honestly as of late (and I did highlight this during the mcc bit), ive felt like I havent been able to really be in my own community simply because of the constant way that "discourse" is handled. Making vague posts and not really tackling issues in a good way, all that is going to do is just show people a big "THIS COMMUNITY BAD" sign and not actually help anything within the community, all its going to do is have the good and potentially good people leave or not join in the first place. The way that discourse is treated that ive seen has been the main reason why I have started to try to distance myself, which has been the most heartbreaking thing I have had to do. I want problems to be solved in a mature, civil way, with either a dm or a reply, not an entire vague thing that only says "bad things are happening" and doesnt elaborate on anything or barely elaboratesa and only gives people on both the inside and outside a bad sign of what the community is. Making posts whenever something happens being like "here we go again" is only going to highlight the wrong things, and actually DOESNT help the issue at all! The problems should be discussed directly with the people who are doing said problems FIRST! Bring attention to behaviors and things that arent good DIRECTLY! And also, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO!!! It is not your duty as a viewer or fan of me to be involved in any of this if you do not want to! Just enjoy the content and make silly posts! As someone who constantly tried to fix and get into every problem as it was happening, it took a huge toll on my mental health, and I want you guys to just be able to enjoy the content without having to worry about what you say about it! Be constructive! Dont make posts again just being like "wow this community is so bad" because that doesnt solve literally anything! If you have enough passion to make the posts saying "wow this community is bad" then only post about that, you are only spreading that negative message, and not uplifting anything of actual value! And if the person you are trying to help is not willing or not listening, BLOCK! MUTE! DONT BRING MORE ATTENTION TO THE PERSON IF THEY ARE NOT BEING A GOOD PART OF THE COMMUNITY!!!! I know I say that if I see problems I will call them out, but I shouldnt have to babysit every single time a thing happens within the community as that just isnt a healthy way for a creator or a community to be handled. This does not mean that I do not care about the issues or dont want them fixed, rather it shouldnt take me having to make some grand statement every single time something happens it should take only your own self reflection and self awareness. And to add onto this, make sure that every once in a while no matter who you are you think and have that self reflection, you should be open to being willing to learn and grow as a person! And again, I do NOT want anyone taking this as "Wow this community is terrible" but rather that we just have things that need to be fixed and changed and THAT IS OKAY! I do not hate the community, I care so much about it that I want it to be a silly place for my content again! I want it to be the reason why people get into what I do because of it again! And I want to be able to just have fun and relax without having to worry about how every single thing that I may say could have someone stirring things up that simply dont help or solve anything! Take care of yourselves. And this isnt coming from a place of "I hate the community as a whole" but rather again I want to be able to exist and make content that we can all enjoy without having to worry about walking on eggshells around me or around eachother! At the end of the day im just a fella that wants to make silly videos for you all, and you are people who enjoy said videos. Nothing more. Nothing less.

tged webtoon ep 165 spoilers and thoughts below the cut that im not terribly late on this time yippee!
.
.
.
what if i went up to you and stared at you like this
HAHAHAHAHAAA I LOVE THIS PANEL SO SO MUCH
ive been sending this on like all my socmeds and to all my mutuals/irls. im tormenting them with it it's just so fucking cute and silly . puppy dog eyes javier. pleading emoji. he's just so fucking silly ALKJDFLSDKF HELL I MADE IT MY DISCORD PFP ITS SO GOOFY I LOVE IT SM HAHAHA CUTE CUTE CUTE
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
silly panels aside back to the top!
lloyd. stop hurting me oh god he looks so tired and gaunt and,,, lifeless. it HURTS seeing him like this, the life he once had just,,, stripped from him.
LIKE I WANTED TO SEE HIM WITH HIS HAIR DOWN AND MESSY BUT NOT LIKE THIS BRUH WHAT THE HELL SOB SOB SOB
the invitation oh my god. its so silly goofy but also so so personal its cute as hell its stupid looking but in the most affectionate way possible. the people of the estate really REALLY care about him and god idek if lloyd realizes that bc literally just after this, he apologizes to everyone for not being able to things for them anymore
not even able to get back up to get back to the bed GOD I FEEL SICK
but it doesnt matter anymore whether or not lloyd can still protect them, the estate has come to care for him so much , its not his protection they want they just fucking love him and he doesnt realize that i feel so fucking ill. lloyd i need you to open your eyes and look at this beautiful land, this beautiful home you've built with your own two hands. ITS NOT OVER YET PLEASE GOD ITS NOT OVER
and then lloyd without second thought chooses javier to live. because he really thinks hes just an extra getting in the way, a burden, a bug that shouldnt be there. so he thinks its fine if he, as a side character, is the one that dies SOMEONE PUNCH ME.
he looks so fucking SMALL. alone and in the dark IM GONNA EXPLODE INTO TEN BILLION PIECES. who wrote this fuckass program. SWEAR TO GOD IM COMIN DOWN TO FIX IT MYSELF GOD DAMMIT
AND THEN THE SYSTEM TEXTBOX COMING IN IM SO GRATEFUL PLEASE HELP HIM SOB SOB SOB
im super duper heartwarmed to see that whoever is running the blue textbox is on suho's side. it has never been impartial, huh,,, it just wants to see his wish come true. ooogh my heart.
lloyd looks,,, strangely peaceful here. is he like, paused rn? im not really sure what the system box is up to, but hopefully thisll delay anything from happening while javier is concocting his plan,,,
speaking of!
FATE KICKING IN LIKE TEN TIMES WORSE IS SO DAMN SCARY. THE MULTIPLE GIGATITANS OH GODDD im so fucking terrified. javier please hurry!!! he looks rlly cool on draggy here hehe
I THINK JAVIER AND ALICIAS EXCHANGE TOO IS SO FUCKING HILARIOUS. alicia, upon only seeing javier, immediately is suspicious of lloyd scheming something. she thinks the two of them are plotting again, hence the "what are you up to".
the problem is that it's just javier on this plan. there is no lloyd directing him, so javiers reaction is SO silly fun bc i. dont think he thinks of himself as being. scheming?? bc he seems SO confused at alicia's skepticism here HADLFKJSDLFKJ ITS SO FUNNY
I REALLY THINK JAVIER WAS GENUINELY A LITTLE CONFUSED AS TO WHY ALICIA WAS QUESTIONING HIM PLEAAASEEE
i think javier believes he's just going about business as usual. doing what he can to protect his lord, as he does, all the time, the usual. sure that involves getting an angel to ask the queen for the eye of summer, but that's certainly not plotting on the same scale that lloyd does. javier isnt a schemer. he just does whats necessary to protect the one he cares about the most. hence his goofy innocent puppy eyes, because its not like hes "up" to anything. idk how accurate this assessment is, so pls correct me if im wrong, but I LOVE IT A LOT HES JUST SO FUCKING DEDICATED I LOVE U JAVIER MVP!!!!!
and then raphie shows up yay!! EXCEPT HELP WHY DID HE GET SUCKED BACK IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE HELL he was so underprepared. poor guy. getting thrown around like this sob sob
ALICIA ASKING IF THIS IS SMTH JAVIER KNEW ABT OR IF THEY WERE PLANNING SOMETHING AND THEN JAVIER BEING GENUINELY FUCKING SHOCKED HELP MEEEE "maybe its not a prank...?" LMFAOOOOO
i mentioned this in the last ep post but like. again javier wears his heart on his sleeve he's so fucking protagonist its unreal. hell, not even on his sleeve, he has his heart out on his damn palm sob sob
i think he's shocked here bc he didnt expect raphaels call to play out like that, he prolly thought theyd issue it more seriously. the issue with this being so half-hearted is now alicia isnt absolutely certain that this is the will of the heavens, so she's less inclined to follow along. it doesnt help that her board of nobles (seriously why does she keep these bozos around they just keep yapping) are arguing back and forth abt whether or not to listen. this is kind of a little wrench in the smoothness of the plan... everything now hinges on alicia's whim now.
anyway two more panels javier being menacing/blunt as hell and alicia thinking on her throne,,, god they are so fucking. awesome i love them so much
anyway that is ALL! for this week! the episode felt a little bit slow to be honest, but i think that's because the events of this ep are little things that build up to whats next, so i dont mind it at all (especially since the last couple of eps have been super fast lately)! i really really enjoy this buildup and im super excited to see what happens next,,,
see yall next week! lloyd please be okay! or ill cry! like for real!
#tged#the greatest estate developer#tged spoilers#lynn misc#the greatest estate designer#lloyd frontera#javier asrahan#alicia magentano#i am absolutely procrastinating on my other work rn btw. if u see me yapping in the comments or reblogging things. TELL ME TO GET TO WORK#i have a ton of stuff due by friday morning its so so bad#it makes me so sad bc tged updates are every thursday so its hard to read the eps on time bc of this work pace </3#its ok tho. if lloyd can do it so can i!

Would love to hear your thought on meowrails break up and who they end up with?! Especially interested in Hal <> Nepeta!
Ok! Just a disclaimer before anything: this is not at all saying you shouldnt ship the meowrails, this is just a canon discussion blog and I have noticed... some stuff... but ship whatever you want, I literally don't care, all HCs are valid, etc. etc.
"Everyone has an important job to do." This is a phrase that gets repeated in Hivebent a few times, which makes it important, as Homestuck often uses repetition to build up an "internal lexicon" and deliberately highlight when situations have similar connotations (Hussie discusses this on their Formspring). So what's the context for this specific phrase? Well, it shows up three times, and for at least two of those times, it's associated with failed moirallegiances.
GA: But It Just Means Theres Got To Be Someone Around To Keep An Eye On Them GA: And If Not Me Then Who GA: Everyone Has An Important Job To Do AG: Ok, so you're spying on me. Kind of creepy! Man, m8y8e you should get a l8fe.
And
CC: I will need to connect after my goofball moirail does so I can keep my goggles on )(is nefarious escapades. CC: Its a toug)( job but its important! Everyone )(as an important job to do.
So, okay, apparently the context of this phrase is "this person is in a moirallegiance that will NOT work out"... well, here's the third time it pops up (though it's the first time chronologically):
Your best pal of all is A LITTLE BOSSY, and people wonder why you even bother with him. But someone has to keep him pacified. If not you, then who? Everyone has an important job to do.
So... hm. This isn't the only thing I have to say about meowrails breakup, but it is the most prominent one, and maybe the most damning, depending on how much weight you put into Homestuck's oft-deliberate use of parallels.
Maybe something a bit more damning is the way Hussie speaks about them in the book commentary? Pretty much every time they turn up, he has some comment to make about how Equius doesn't really "need" Nepeta, and about how he tends to talk over her and usurp her agency, like so many shitty boyfriends IRL.
We don't know much about Equius yet, but we get an awful lot of info about him with this excerpt. He's racist, a huge snob, doesn't like swearing, is stern and controlling, has a patronizing fondness for Nepeta, and thinks archery is cool because of its association with nobility. Combine this with the snapshot of his room we'll see soon, and suddenly we have an extensive character portrait. This was all important to establish quickly, because it helps us understand in record time that Equius is in fact one of the greatest characters ever created.
Equius says he appreciates that Nepeta's angry. I guess meaning that he respects an angry disposition, like his own. Especially early on in his characterization, it's suggested he has anger issues (like him taking his rage out on robot dummy combatants). But I'm not sure this trait holds up. Over time, he seems to show a lot more passion about his weird stuff, his passion for archery and muscular horse men, his submissive obsessions, his deference toward those higher on the hemospectrum and fetish-like indulgence in depraved attraction toward those lower. Ultimately he comes off more as a ridiculous nerd, with a soft spot for a lot of silly and creepy shit. My view on this is, it's not that the text lost track of the fact that he was supposed to be angry. It's more that this was his initial state of mind early on, and the more he started blowing off steam with his various indulgences (Aradiabot, etc.) the less he had to be mad about. We just meet him at a really high-strung point in his life. I think it's more accurate to say his "anger" is a form of hyperintense focus on being stern, aloof, proper, and averse to nonsense, which is a facade serving to cover up his inner personality, which is barely in control at all. Like Nepeta suggests, deep down he wants to play the kinds of silly games she plays. He wants to let go completely, and indulge every ludicrous and depraved whim he has. His arc tends to be more about caving to these indulgences, and all the mixed consequences that follow, than resisting them.
Here's [S] Equius: Seek the highbl00d, another playable RPG game. [...] But Christ, why am I talking about that garbage when we are about to review some truly choice material focusing exclusively on your favorite meowrails. It is a great illustration of their tragic dynamic; deeply committed and caring partners in the diamonds quadrant, and yet compromised by Equius and his stubborn class-driven faults, his pathological reverence for his superiors, his forced and probably not genuinely felt sense of disdain for lower bloods like Nepeta, and ultimately his failure to rise above these flaws when presented with a real test of character and friendship. A test imposed, of course, by a boorish murderclown, who from this point onward just ruins fucking everything, constantly.
Hussie is an unreliable narrator (of the "he's deliberately playing a character who's biased, opinionated, and sometimes wrong, because a major theme of Homestuck is that you have to question who's telling the story and if they can be trusted" variety), so it's difficult to parse exactly what he's saying is salient, especially since he talks so damn much. But even so, he constantly goes out of his way to highlight how the meowrails DON'T work out - which is even pretty canon in the comic.
In Hivebent, the two are established as working along this dynamic: Nepeta soothes Equius's anger issues, while Equius keeps Nepeta from recklessly endangering herself (for example, prohibiting her from LARPing). But as Hussie says, Equius's anger problems become basically nonexistent by the time Murderstuck rolls around, and his actual problem is his overindulgence in his fetishes; meanwhile, his bossy, controlling attitude to Nepeta was always kind of suspect, but it actively becomes a source of frustration to her that she can't wait to shirk (he bans her from talking to the humans, and she goes behind his back to do it anyways - even celebrates when Karkat gives her express permission).
In the end, they die for their failures as a moirallegiance - despite being fresh off a feelings jam in a pile, and so, supposedly at their least likely to hurt themselves or others, Equius's horny gets him killed (Hussie has always maintained across multiple platforms that Equius could've easily overpowered Gamzee, he just chose not to because Hot), and Nepeta doesn't listen to his orders to stay put. In later conversations with ARquiussprite, Equius is always framed as the one here who was wrong - who failed to keep Nepeta safe and has something to apologize for. I think it's also pretty important to notice that in the bubbles, Equius is never seen doing so - but IS seen being really weird to Aradias - fully implying that he's actually been avoiding taking accountability to Nepeta in favor of indulging in his fetish shit, out of shame and guilt.
As Hussie says, the meowrails are an important relationship, and when I say they don't work out, I don't mean they shouldn't have been together in the first place. On the contrary; I think they actually were good for each other, way back on Alternia. Nepeta DID keep Equius's frustrations in check, and Equius DID keep Nepeta out of trouble. But as time went on, Equius just got really comfortable with treating Nepeta like an object he owned - something convenient, which he can use when he's feeling sad, and ignore otherwise - and Nepeta started growing frustrated with his increasingly petty control. They grew as people, their needs changed, and they stopped being good for each other, but they stayed together - out of inertia and sunk cost fallacy on Nepeta's end, and on Equius's end, because it was convenient and pleasant (for him) and useful (for him) so why would he throw it away?
While this is something I think could potentially be worked out with relationship therapy, the thing with Homestuck is that it's big into the idea of soulmates, especially in the pale quadrant (which is described with that exact term). Its ultimate thesis on romance is that, while you have to do a lot of personal work in order to be the kind of person who can BE in a soul mates relationship, ultimately a relationship SHOULD have an element of just... easy compatability, idiosyncracies clicking together in just the right way to bring out the best in both parties. It's idealized, and there's criticism to be made about that, but that's still ultimately how romance kind of functions in Homestuck. The perfect match is out there for you, and while you have some growing to do in order to be ready for it, it's supposed to be easy once you get there. Consider how Eridan can calm Karkat down literally just by talking to him normally, or how Sollux regularly outright professes that Feferi's just fucking amazing - these are relationships where the involved parties don't need to tell themselves "everyone has an important job to do" with grit teeth to justify keeping the relationship going.
Meowrails lacks that inherent compatability, according to the evidence, but of course, that brings up the question of who they SHOULD date in pale instead. Hey, did you ever notice that Dirk (and by extension, Hal) are EXTREMELY Equius-coded?
So here's the thing. Hal's favorite alpha kid is Roxy, who is also pretty Nepeta-themed, being a cat-associated Rogue. They regularly flirtLARP with each other, but when we get a glimpse of this so called flirtLARPing, it's actually Roxy almost, but not quite, getting Hal to admit that he's actually not really that into Jake, he just feels obligated, as an extension of Dirk, to make DirkJake happen. They almost, but not quite, have a feelings jam.
Meanwhile, Hal outright calls his conversation with Dirk, as Dirk grapples with whether or not he should kill Hal, a "feelings jam", and Dirk also has a convo with Caliborn about how maybe he should consider the merits of selfcest.
What these interactions hint at, to me, is Nepeta <> Hal, and Equius <> Dirk... and I think if you consider it from the standpoint of their personalities, it works, too?
Nepeta is pretty consistently shown to have a knack for knowing how other people actually feel. Her shipping charts are incorrect in terms of compatability, but she's got a scary knack for reading intentions and desires - as befits a non-destructive Heart player. She's able to pinpoint that Eridan's advances on her are insincere, but he's not that bad a guy; she notices that Karkat is a big softie who loves his friends so much; she correctly reads that Equius is a big ol' goofball who loves to play games. Hal, as a Mind player, and even more as originally being a Dirk splinter and an AI, is deeply distressed by his lack of "self"-hood; it's Roxy who calls out first and most blatantly that he's clearly his own guy with his own real feelings, which seems to be why he gravitates toward her. Nepeta would do this even harder, since it's kind of her entire Thing, and I think Hal would really appreciate that, since Hal is at his worst when he thinks he's acting in someone else's best interest (Sylph lol).
Meanwhile, what Nepeta really needs IS an enabler. She's a rebellious soul with radical ideas about how the hemospectrum is stupid and dumb, and she's RIGHT and she should SAY IT. Hal's amazing at giving people what they "want", pulling strings to ensure DirkJake happens, while also framing it as something that Jake would want - this bombastic, action hero kiss-in-front-of-a-volcano. Nepeta's clearly attracted to characters with Equius-esque qualities, but after spending so long with Equius, who does nothing but push her down with a patronizing "hush, greenblood, it's for your own good," I think she would do well with an insane partner in crime who instead goes "fuck yeah girl, let's make this shit happen." Especially since her personal insecurities are that other people will find her dumb and silly (an impression that Equius certainly didn't HELP with...) - having Hal in her corner going "uhhh you're literally my favorite and I will engineer situations to fall directly in your favor?" would be a huge help to her.
I'm actually not entirely sold on equius <> dirk - they're maybe too similar? - i have in my notes here john <> dirk and equius <> jake. idk. the shipping web starts to get complicated
#equius zahhak#nepeta leijon#hal strider#dirk strider#equidirk#nephal#again please dont come at me bc i lowkey dont care about shipping#like i just think story-wise it's interesting#that nepeta and equius seem set up to fail#but then these new characters are introduced who are suspiciously nepeta/equius coded#who echo their relationships in interesting ways#and homestuck's ending is bad on purpose as a dare to the audience to figure out the actual happy ending#as argued before multiple times homestuck can't have a happy ending unless everyone is alive and god tiered (minus caliborn)#(who made his choices and loves the outcome he got)#so like roxy and dirk/hal don't have those parallels JUST because nepeta and equius are dead and need replacements#and i think the reason is because... of dating

"you have any specific scenarios w/ c!scott etc I'm 99% sure I could explain my viewpoint 😭😭 so please send them over" plsss 🥺 can i have ur interpretation on dl axe-critting tradition? i feel like the 'abandonment' at the beginning was pretty justifably bc like. my guy felt betrayed, he didn't feel safe in a relationship anymore, he had a right to walk away from it. even IF his logic was skewed by his own abandonment issues and bias and his reasoning wasn't totally sound, at its' core, he shouldnt be villainised for just deciding to walk away from something he didn't want....
something thats always been hard for me to unravel w/ his pysche was the axe-critting tradition tho. like it IS fucked up no matter what, im not looking for a defence, just help parsing what pyschological decisions led to him deciding to make the tradition bc it seemed VERY out-of-the-blue for me. maybe the initial axe-crit as a punishment for what he thought was pearl intentionally hurting him in the first session, just once, but why do you think he made it a tradition for EVERY session before pearl started with the powdered snow?
Now THIS is a good question
(Bear in mind I haven't watched double life in a while and I have patchy memory at best
Also this is ALL c! Analysis, the CCs are just having a silly goofy time)
I will say I really appreciate you saying that Scott had every right to not want to be in a relationship with pearl because I feel like that is lost to a lot of people ... Like no one should be forced to be paired up, the season was just making it heavily implied. And if you've ever seen Scott's pov he will twist whatever rules/mechanics there are into his desire.
Anyways-
The way I see it, he's still bitter at pearl for leaving, and the longer they don't resolve the issue the more irrational that anger becomes. I agree the first time could've been a response to pearls actions, but I think it's interesting to consider it becoming a way for pearl (and Martyn in conjunction) to have harsh reminder that they DO have a bond and their separation doesn't mean they're just gone but also that they're not forgiven. (Also the damage an axe crit gives might scare them enough to start considering taking more care for their shared lives - but that feels like to much of an extrapolation for this post)
I also think it's important to remember that those axe crits ALSO hurt the people inciting it. When you think about it that way the action does still feel very irrational and emotion driven - but also self destructive (c!Scott's speciality). Like thinking about it from that perspective and it feels very in character for him, it's just unusual for him to want to consistently hurt another player. But when your lives are linked so directly to another person, any way for him to be self destructive or internalise any actions is an attack on someone else. And because of this, his lines of morality get verrry blurry.
I think a way he could rationalise this is the fact that it is also hurting him too, so the violence feels minimised to him (most likely not seen the same way on pearls end).
Obviously this is a BIIG amount of (probably over)extrapolating on an action. I'm not sure I'm even 100% certain on my understanding of it, but at the very least it's makes the narrative and character actions much more interesting. Which I'd honestly my goal in everything I make 😭
TLDR: C!Scotts double life season is intrinsically linked to his abandonment/rejection issues - the twist being when they get ugly he can't just keep them to himself anymore.
(also his ass is very petty)
#im not satisfied with how this post ends but if i leave it in my drafts ill just forget about it 😭😭#trafficblr#double life#smajor1995#pearlescentmoon#double life smp#eclipse duo#or is it#galaxy duo#idek anymore#fandumb fanrambles

As much as i miss bristlefrost and wish that we could have seen her regaining her clans trust after they thought she worked for the imposter for so long, i am incredibly happy with how her arc ended
Dont get me wrong, i never wanted her dead. Yet i feel like that was one of the best ways to stop her arc, and i dont think it shouldve been either of the other two to do it.
With rootspring, he really had zero ties with the imposter. Sure, he could have tried to save bris and died in the process but like.. idk i feel like that just undermines the efforts she went through to stop him. It would overshadow her very deep moment of killing the cat who used her for so long for.. gags.. shipping /hj
With shadowsight its kinda obvious why it shouldnt have been him lol. Honestly you could rename this series as torturing silly medicine cat with how much they put this poor dude thru omfg. He had a very very deep connection with ashfur but it wasnt the same as ash and bris. If shadowsight died it would just feel like the erins sat in a room schemeing new ways to hurt this random ass man.
But for bristlefrost it makes a lot of sense for her to die this way. She knew that she was putting herself in serious danger by working with the spy, but she persisted because she wanted to be loyal and save her clan. She knew she would die forever if she went into that water forever, but she cared more for the clans and couldnt bring herself to put them in danger.
Bristlefrost was still incredibly young when she started to work for the imposter and he became very close to her. He believed that she was solely loyal to him. She never got the chance to disprove that to him because he absolutely would have either exiled or killed her the second he believed she betrayed him. Not only was this a moment that solidified her loyalty, it also was her way of being to prove to ashfur that she was not who he thought she was.
Poor bris she deserved better

Hi hi! I love Kyra sm, she's wonderful!
If you don't mind me asking, what would she think of my boy Finn?
(I apologise if I asked this before I might have forgotten 💀)

FINN!!
Honestly I think Finn would appreciate Kyra’s honest nature HEHE, she also doesn’t get many social cues and is rather blunt with her words. She says what she wants to say and most of the time she always means it. So no beating around the bush with her thats for sure HEHEHE
I think Kyra would find Finn really interesting. So she’d probably go out of her way to pester him, and honestly its just Kyra being Kyra and her doing whatever her impulses tell her to do instead of thinking 😭
I have a feeling Kyra would honestly end up getting on his nerves LMFAOO, girl does NOT know when to shut up !!!! Its either his patience runs out first or she gets bored of following him around all day
If he does end up snapping at her, she’d be more careful in the future 😭 though at that moment she wouldn’t take it too seriously, she’d eventually apologize later on
I have a feeling Finn would be one of the people to enable her shennanigans LMAOO, shes always up to something, and if that involves people I think Finn would find it amusing watching from afar😭 She still makes him promise never to say a word if he ever walks in on her brewing up some sort of mystery potion
Kyra likes to lean on him. Or just carries him around if the situation calls for it. Nothing personal she just has a habit of doing it to just about everyone😭 so Finn shouldnt be too surprised if he ever gets lifted off the ground out of nowhere only to see a blob of pink in his face LMAOO
She’d think Finn’s UM is the coolest thing ever, and is constantly trying to get him to turn into people for her own amusement LMAOO, tries to get him to turn into Leona just so he can say something silly in his voice.
Kyra would love painting with Finn!!! She likes to paint too, since during her childhood in her world there was never much to do. So!! Methinks they would be painting buddies 😈😈 Though her art is usually rather colorful, she’d definetly adore his more twisted art, she thinks stuff like that is suuper interesting!!
Plus, she’d totally be up for customizing/making some clothes for Finn!! If his clothes are ever too big or too tight, Kyra can change it to fit him perfectly instead :3

When putting your characters into AUs, what’s the process you use to go about it? How do you transfer your characters to different worlds? Whats some of your fav types of AUs to work on? Whats your most indulgent/fun AU 👀 ?
i love OC AUs soooo much thank you everypony for talking to me about OC AUs because. augh. i just love them. i just do. i have dozens of them for a reason!! it is my unending love for them
when I work on AUs, something I always keep in mind is why I'm making an alt universe instead of working it into canon or just making a completely new OC! i want to see That Specific Character under different circumstances and I want to see how similar/different they areeeee.... I always try to keep in mind what narrative themes and visuals will remain the same throughout AUs. What makes this character THIS CHARACTER is my favorite part of asking AU questions!!
i really love working on a variety of AUs, but I think ones that involve a canon divergence have to be some of my favorites! The Etcetera/Caius role-swap, the Auï Aviary Leader AU, and more dramatic splits into BFCAU and Together At Last where I can put characters together that wouldn't be- how different would Goat be if he was raised by Runo? What if Maiceo and Georgiana got to experience cohabitation? What foundation would Ruse and Esperanza's relationship have if they weren't in their hyperspecific situation?
just asking a bunch of questions :3 DESIGNING AUs is also extremely fun to me, I honestly cant think of a concrete way I do things, it all depends on the character and their new circumstances and what is important to them! MLP AUs and mermaid AUs are my favorite to design, as well as reversing humans into furries or furries into humans!! i just find such joy in purely design AUs, but they often turn into story AUs which is so fucking awesome
annnd i'll put the ramble about my favorite AUs to work on under the cut ! i know I've answered something like this before, but I'll always take the chance to talk about my AUs
this is the AU i talked a bit about in my tags a few days ago, the AU where Auï kills Rlioch in the Aviary! its out of "self-defense", its impulsive and quick and brutal, and it ruins Auï's head beyond repair. he is not prepared to lose Rlioch, someone he is not even prepared to lose in canon at this moment- he was not prepared to take care of himself at this point of time either, and now he feels this responsibly to take care of the commune since he disposed of the leader. running away is far from the first thing on his mind, he's so tangled up in grief and intense guilt and honest-to-god euphoria he quickly dissolves into this complete mess. like probably shit i can't type out but he gets so bad guys he gets so sick. not even Turrie can do anything, their relationship gets sooo twisted its fun to imagine but i also start writhing around i think this Auï only ends up living for a few more years, since his wings will eventually end up seizing up his back. this is why he had them removed in Canon- they're literally pulling his upper spine out of him!! very slow very painful death. eeeee. in Canon, Auï was at that point where he couldn't walk for every long- this is why he collapses after running in AINTR. he can't stand long enough to even shower for a long time after his surgery, but in this AU you can only imagine
pro tip DO NOT PUT WINGS ON A GUY WHO SHOULDNT HAVE THEM ITS NOT GONNA BE GREAT
Together For Once has soooo quickly become one of my favorite AUs, because its half a design AU where i get to just play around with human designs, and then half just a feel good yayy yayyyy !!! yay i love when people get to be friends. i keep separating them.
ALSO its my little silly Earth Place?? i dont have...ANY stories that take place on Normal Earth. i haven't had a story that took place on Normal Earth in at least 10 years?? Beings is Earth, but its post-apoc and fucked up. what if i want my guys to like the musical artists I like. what if i want to say Magic works at BLICK Art Supplies. what if i want them to partake in my local festivities...what if i want to send Georgiana to camp at the Grand Canyon?? so much could happen
if i could i'd be talking about the mermaid AU. does this AU have plot.....not really........i play and i have fun........... the designs are so much fun to be designing, this AU always gets me through finals season (since its in Mermay) and i always seem to draw it a lot over the summer! just make your OCs into mermaids and make your own personal mermaid lore. do it. its so fun. my lore is that they're all cool and fishy and they can turn into little guys on land because i watched so much H20 JUST ADD WATER as a youth.
dont even get me fucking started on bfc AU i already talked a lot about it but i love it...i love hanging out in my friends world!! @/arborescreens n @/krembearry thank you for all the antics for all the silliness and letting my characters be together after i have enacted such cruelty upon them...another one i like playing with human designs, although there's a fantasy element!! this au got so big so fast, and im having the bestest time just thinking about them in their silly little plotlines in this beloved friend-story
but my favorite AU......because technically these 5 are just one big AU! and my bestest one ever because it changed the trajectory of my LIFE (hardly a hyperbole) and how i write Zuistone as a whole! while it sorta seems like BEINGS is the AU these days, i think it just goes to show that it really doesn't fucking matter. i will forever try to fight the stigma that AUs are "less important" or "less serious" than people's precious Source- bro it means "alternative universe", where are you seeing the word non-canon in there, every world has its own canon set!!!!!!!! ill bite anyone who acts like AUs are just frivious side bar stuff, making OC AUs is my heart and soul and i will make more, forever
#quail talks#my aus#bit of a freaking ramble YAYYYY THANK YOU FOR THE AU QUESTION I LOVE AUS I HOPE THIS ? ANSWERED U#thank you for the wuestions they mean so much...such lovely little treats in my inbox

i forgot it was april fools lol. i definitly did not end up sprinkling in a bunch of memes in there, nope, not at all.
I havent checked my dashboard until a few minutes earlier, but now im booping everyone i find in there, its just so damm fun! its kinda sad that its just for april fools, i wish the booping stayed forever like its way too silly i love it.
Oh yeah the drawing yep aight. So uh, i had the idea yesterday and this looks NOTHING like what i had planned, it was just going to be a plain white backgroung, and i was trying to make it look like a pencil sketch (kinda). and simple coloring. but i had a lot of problems and drawing this ended up being really frustrating but im kinda happy with the result even if it difers so much from the og idea.
also here is a clean version (aka no memes)
i tend to change my idea as im drawing so after i realized this was not going to look like i thought, i tried some effects and i came up with the idea of making it look...off.
Backgrounf with saturated colors consisting of red and blue and a fecto elfilis who looks rather dreamy, wich is totally not kinda inspired by isolated isles and high school musical 2 believe it or not (im confused as to how that was present in my mind as inspiration but i guess anything works as a reference) and contrasting with the darker background from how light and glowy i made him.
Fun fact: when i drew elfilis here, they were reminding me of a bunny, so you could kinda count this as a bit of an easter post since im probably going to forget to do something for that.
fun fact 2: this image is based on a fanfic im writing right now, i havent posted it yet, and when i do im pretty sure i'll put it into the Anonymous collection, since what im writing is very different from my usual, i tend to write about my splatoon ocs or sometimes about kirby characters, most of these fics tend to be general with not a lot of archieve warnings and stuff (save for one but that one was very very tame and just had an implication of a character dying at the end) and they're oneshots, most of them, this one is also a oneshot. i just enjoy writing that, but its a little bit....how to say it? bloody, i just have like the start made and its probably going to take me a while to finish, im also thinking of reading it multiple times since most of my works are usually just the first draft. but uh since its quite different and has that im quite scared of the reception it might have when i post it, in fact a lot of times i dont post stuff since even tho i know i shouldnt worry about others, i still do like an idiot, i just cant help caring about what other people think of me. and yeah basically its just not like the usual fluff i write.
next post might be splatoon related since im redesigning some ocs i had, or it might be princess peach showtime because my father got me the game and im loving it
Thank you for listening to my unnecesarily long rambles and Jambuhbye!
#art#fanart#kirby#kirby fanart#kirby gijinka#digital art#firealpaca#fecto elfilis#fecto elfilis gijinka#no one is in the bottom left corner i swear#if you squint this is pretty much the Grant Gustin Next To Oliver Queen's Grave meme#i said nothing no one is there#my lil sis says elfilis is a 10/10 girboss and im proud of her for us to finally agree on something#gikabi#april fool's day

*succinct & eloquent opening line. maybe a clever joke or quote* :D
do you ever sit there and contemplate your life choices after like a certain experience or a talk with a loved one?
do you ever come across a quote or a piece that seems like it was written for you in this particular moment in time? an anecdote that mirrors your current situation perhaps?
well im currently going through it & after a double whammy of mama lore TM during some resurfacing anxious & assorted crises, i dont even know what im going through anymore. but we shared a really sweet heart to heart and reminisced over good and less good times aw!
i am reminded that there is still much to life, light to be sought and found, good times yet to be had. its bittersweet. its mature. its scary? its like coming to terms with your mortality but on a smaller scale. or bigger whos to say...
i wont be venting anything, i think for now at least im content to vague post lmao. also my dad bought me some stress eating treats so i might need to go wallow in my feels for a bit
after i jinxed myself by saying im going on hiatus but failing to stay off the website lol (i had moot withdrawl symptoms sue me), i wont be repeating the same mistake, but with context clues i trust u can see where im going with this
it might sound presumptious to state so confidently that this next month of my life will be the hardest in my career, especially since im not even half way there yet, but the truth of the matter is that it is.
ive been struggling for well over a year now (mostly academically) and im both succeeding in places i didnt before (alhamdulillah!) but failing in the exact same places elsewhere. guys i may have anxiety lol
self fulfilling prophecies, nocebo effect, whatever it is & regardless of what you want to call it, its rough. its hard. im tired. theres still so much left and im tired. i shouldnt be this tired. or this empty. or careless. what have i let myself become? why am i punishing myself still?
this coming month will dictate the rest of my future and ill have no one to blame but myself if i let the opportunity slip through my fingers. but if all goes well inshallah i can put this all behind me and start anew so theres that silver lining :D
i kinda lost direction of this post about half an hour ago lol. my point is im going to try harder at balancing several life aspects bc i really cant put it off any more. i need to establish balance because ive been out of the loop for too long now. *shudders in python*
anyways there are plenty of things i have to work on, both in my studies and life, so i have that going for me *party kazoo noises*
id love to grace you all with some wise words or a life lesson or something but i dont have a neat one liner to sum up anything. despite that im writing this because sometimes letting thoughts float in my head isnt enough, i need to articulate and write it out because to let them roam in the vast expanses of my mind under the pretense that i achieved something is frankly silly as it is counterproductive.
a n y w a y , to anyone and everyone reading take care of yourselves and your loved ones. i wish everyone the best in life and in their endeavours. i will probably pop back in every now and again to catch up on messages and make sure everyone is alive and nothing burned down. i will however attempt to exert self control. (key word: attempt)
aight imma head out before i get too emotional or combust with the need to say something stupid like i love you be more unserious XD
#*thoughtful and anecdotal tags*#anyways lol#wake me up when september ends#tldr im getting my shit together hopefully#shout out to my parents for loving me when i disowned myself lmao#i love you very much :')#was extremely tempted to make up a proverb/ metaphor the way parents do when teaching u a life lesson lol#personal post#ish#unserious post#vent post esque#eh whatever#its a bit all over the place but hey so am i ;)#anyway farewell#barely proofread#we die like my procrastination starting tomorrow#heh geddit

Destroy the myth of 100% scores on tests. They wont make you happy.
Tldr: No, the tiktok study tips that "will get you straight A's" won't get you an A and thats perfectly fine. You're not doing anything wrong. The education industry has made you addicted to praise.
I just learned about Dweck's theory about praising children, and how judgemental language is extremely harmful to the growth of children (and adults). We've been conditioned to do things with the expecation of getting praise (from a parent, teacher, boss, etc) rather than our personal experimentation with play or doing a task. Dweck tested her theory on two groups of children. When praised for success, children became demotivated to do more difficult tasks. Children that were praised for their effort, however, were much happier and more eager to take on more difficult challenges, because they want to improve.
Unfortunately this is how the education system, or education industry, functions and it is hard to escape this. But we can, however, free ourselves from the silly ideas of the "straight A-student" culture, which solely focuses on the test results instead of the effort and hard work that students put into learning. Learning should be fun, not a task. And when its not fun, dont beat yourself up over it. It is not your fault that, by design, the education industry cares more about your productivity than your wellbeing. Antiwork culture very much applies to the education industry as well. Sure, you could work your ass off to get a raise/high grades, but does that actually make you happy? Is it right that school/work is making you overwork yourself?Shouldnt we reevaluate how we think about numbers and scores, and perhaps focus on the wellbeing of students? Do you really do it for the score, or do you just want to be free? Free from the punishment from your parents after you get a low score? The freedom to be able to go to that fancy university? People should not be measured by test scores.
#lets blame capitalism for that!#youre being trained to be a wheel in the machine of productivity!#study blog#studyblr#adhd#neurospicy#university#anticapitalism#antiwork#abolish work#reform the education system#straight A's#straight a student#study with adhd#study aesthetic#antischool

i hate how much i was looking forward to reading this book and actually reading it... its actually kinda bad??? like its FINE dont get me wrong. its just so mid?? like its a whole lot of a nothing burger.
ik i shouldnt be comparing things to one last stop- and im SO not!! its just that i really don't care about these characters? i like one but its mostly the narration of her pov. i quite literally dont care about this story emotionally :(.
it feels kinda boring and a bit too mixed with pace. theres no depth underneath the silly meetcute

ok so this is kinda rambley and a tad venty but uh yeah long post about my mental state lately ig? idk tldr im gonna get sillier c:
ok so this is weird but i think getting all my thoughts out on a post will help me out through this but anyway i think ive had like really bad anxiety i think? about my fics lately. ive found myself being way too scared about what other people might think of them (way more than the usual voice in the back of my head at least) and i think ive been really scared of i guess no one caring, like the only way someone would care about one of my fics is if its this huge professional thing that means something. ive found myself overhyping or underhyping my wips when i shared them with friends, losing confidence in them entirely even if my friends said something nice, like it was always gonna look stupid so long as it wasnt in my head anymore.
i think the reason these feelings are so frustrating is because something as simple as writing fanfic shouldnt give me this much anxiety, to the point where im losing sleep and procrastinating important things over however good i am at writing something silly thats supposed to be for fun. and it hasnt just been about fanfic either, ive been so scared of how people perceive me online, feeling like i always have to type like im some big blog and constantly being scared of what other people think of me, which is the wrong attitude to have in a fandom space. this is supposed to be fun, and it hasnt been, and i want to change that.
ive really been wanting to say something for i think a few months now. ive noticed how much ive felt like i needed to overhype myself, and just how bad my confidence has been destroyed. theres been a person in my life for a while now that i havent been distancing myself from as much as i should have been, but now i want to try and work on finding ways to enjoy fandom spaces again. im tired of being scared of being expressive and enjoying myself.
im going to start writing more fics that i just enjoy, fucking around and just having fun, and I’ve been starting to doodle a little bit too c: i dont mean to make a post to like say anything big i guess i just kinda wanted to air out my thoughts a little bit (and i do have to admit it feels amazing to just get this all off my chest) but i guess if you read all this i wanna say i love you and i want you to do something good for your mental health today because its so hard to recognize when something is hurting you and even harder to try and fix it especially when it feels impossible but I believe in you and I love you :3
#pulling a classic tumblr blogger and liveblogging my mental downfall and upfall but uh yeah c:#I’m starting to do better I’m working on it c:

seriously something wrong with how parasocial the osc gets with some object show creators especially with ii
im not even talking about light friendly interaction on twitter/tumblr/discord answering questions. i mean like, really putting in too much trust into them without ever acknowledging the faults both creators and the show can have because any word of criticism is too "negative" and "mean"
like any other fandom would be strongly opposed to this but its crazy how for the osc (and ii especially) you cant have your own civil opinionated discussion amongst peers or yourself without someone on twitter making a bigger ruckus out of it. how are you this hurt by someone online rightly pointing out wrongs that shouldnt be so easily ignored? im sure the creators arent on the edge of it all over it but if youre really THAT affected by it to where you feel the need any form of critique is an attack to your silly gay autism scrunglies please take a step back and re-evaluate your relationship between the shows and the creators (who dont even fucking know you enough to care)
#i point out ''gay autism'' because of the way these gets thrown around and celebrated (which is good!)#but anyone stepping out of the line of whats acceptable and is just ''weird'' is instantly put out there for harassment#ii neg#ii negativity#ignore

Which animated Disney character is Naruto most like?
So I sat on this for several days trying to really come up with an answer that I felt really fit. I know your answer for his parents was cute and silly and you probably expected mine to not be a deep answer too but TBH that is not who I am lmfao.
At first I thought maybe simba.... but that didnt really fit the longer i looked at it. It was a good first choice but not the correct answer for me. The longer I thought about it the harder it became real to me that the answer is Todd from fox and the hound.
He lost his mom almost right out the gate. But todd was better taken care of. He grows up a fox on a farm not understanding why some of the other animals are afraid of him for just wanting to play. He makes a friend and do stuff together all while being told that they're an unnatural friend pair and shouldn't play together and Todd just doesn't understand why. He's told that this friend will get bigger and stronger and turn on him and he just doesn't believe it.
And then you have copper who wants to grow up to be a killer just like Chief bc he believes its his destiny to be a hound dog and a hunter.
They grow up from a pup and a kit on different sides of the fence and Todd is still happy to be friends- but Copper had changed so much he believes hes too old to be playing games that its time for him to be serious. He shouldnt be hanging out with Todd.
Copper and Todd end up in a fight, and the first time they show down Copper lets him live because they were friends.
The second time his intent is to KILL TODD and honestly... he really does try. But when push came to shove and that bear came Todd came running to help the very person who JUST tried to kill him. Because that's who Todd is. And at the very end after seeing how hard Todd fought to save a person that just tried to kill him Copper stands in front of Todd defending him from the very person he thought was right to follow.
Todd never gave up who he was, he never gave up on Copper despite everything that should have make him think he should.
SO thats why I think, out of all the disney characters im really familiar with- Todd is who matches Naruto the best.
Bonus points for fox.

i wanna hear even MORE about rowan and Nate. Anything. What's their favorite thing to do togheter? How do they deal with Nate's emotionalness & strictness togheter? (Just some example questions). I love this autistic man so much, he's so me and im willing to hear 10 post about him and his silly boyfriend. (Technically him being autistic and rowan being his boyfriend isn't canon, but in my mental world it is.)
REGULUSSSS ☹️☹️☹️☹️ AAAUGGGFHHG IM SO HAPPY YOU WANNA HEAR ABOUT THEM😭😭😭
First of all: you are SO right. Nate is very much autistic, and so is Rowan! They are both autistic and love each other so bad. Nate being autistic should be canon anyway because he's so... he just is.
Second: ON TO THE QUESTIONS!!
1. Id say their favorite thing to do together is probably just talk/have one-on-one time. It's a very... nothing answer, but it's pretty perfect for them! Especially in a private setting or setting where no one's around. Having private time and being in an environment where Nate doesn't have to constantly care about upholding rules or doing something specific. Even though he mostly does because it's Nate, he can never stop worrying or thinking.
Nate, in most all situations, is not relaxed. Obviously. So its difficult for them to just do an activity together because of how competitive Nate is. However, him and Rowan have a pretty nice time in more quiet and calm situations! He's more of a fan of watching a movie in Rowan's dorm than going out anywhere (since Rowan doesn't have a roommate AND they're both in the boys dorms!) (but side note- Rowan convinces him 9/10 times to go see plays. And he watches Rowan when he's performing with a little convincing).
They both also know that anything that could be competitive is a big no, since they know it'll spoil Nate's mood. But he's most calm when it's just the two of them! When it feels like nothing in the world can interrupt them.
Just talking about anything, even if it's a conversation that has no meaning. Nate more often than not would question why Rowan would just talk to talk, but he eventually realizes he likes it too. He enjoys speaking with his boyfriend just to hear him say anything. Just to learn more about him and get to know him! Whether it be a dumb little fact or an important one, they're both listening to the other intently. These situations can range from a "5 minute break" on a study date (which went on for WAY longer than 5 minutes, and Nate really shouldnt be this lenient and should *not* be losing track of time like this but Rowan was just so happy talking about marine biology-) to lunch dates at Fuchsia! They most enjoy their time when it's just the two of them.
2. Dealing with Nate being emotional & his strictness is a range for them, but they've found what works! For one, Rowan is a lot more empathetic and considerate than JB (lol), but he has a lot of qualities that make Nate less inclined to blow up or have an outburst. Rowan is calm with Nate, and even though Nate was continuously being himself and telling Rowan to go away and leave him alone (before they started dating) Rowan persisted and stayed around him! Rowan is VERY involved in his academic life and cares very much, so he has very good grades. Not to mention, but he is also one for very much following the rules (but he is not like Nate at all with enforcing them- he just follows them which makes Nate appreciative. But he can be a bit mischievous and decide to break them on occasion.)
All this to say that Nate being strict is still something that makes Rowan roll his eyes fondly, but he still listens and doesn't stress Nate out. He doesn't mind the fact that Nate is a stickler for the rules or is demanding about things, and they communicate pretty clearly!
This also ties in with them both being autistic tbh. The way they've learned to settle conflict or something is *very* to the point. Originally, Rowan sat down with him and expressed his feelings and wants, and what he wants in their relationship! They then found what worked for them- Rowan wants affection and love. He knows that Nate has a difficult time with that and struggles, so he doesn't pressure him. But with him expressing that want, Nate is a little more willing to try and hold his hand. To try and walk closer to him to and from school. (Did I mention they try to walk from school together whenever possible? Rowan's rehearsals and Nate's practices normally end at around the same time- so they walk back together most days.)
Emotional wise- Rowan is a calm compared to Nate's loud and demanding storm. His previously mentioned empathy means that he can get his feelings hurt pretty easily and he's a big people pleaser- which also means they've had their bumps lol- but Rowan always tries to be there for Nate. He knows that he struggles with his emotions, but thankfully he's never walking on eggshells with Nate (like others are). He knows Nate, and is always there to help. Nate hates being vulnerable around his boyfriend, he hates feeling weak, but Rowan will rub his thumb over his knuckles or give him a side-hug while he cries and everything feels like it's getting better.
The best thing for the two of them is the fact that no matter what Nate does, no matter how he acts, Rowan always treats him the same. He always greets him with the same happy smile and has his same energy. Is always actively trying to get to know him and surprisingly for Nate, never pulls away. He becomes an active and stable part of his life! Nate's emotions and mood swings can be a bit rough when he goes from 0 to 100, but Rowan knows what to do with them and knows not to get defensive or cower. (That's a big thing that helps Nate get serious about them while their relationship is just starting. The fact that Rowan is being completely unconditional in his love)
OK THAT WAS VERY LONG SORRY but you asked for it so...,.,..,.. trust me they are canon I asked gbpatch and they said yeah Nate loves his bf
