#ive not been in many relationships

[staghunters]

6, 8, 18!

6 - any relationship advice?

Ough, uh, based on my own experiences I'm gonna go with that there is no set way/pace of doing things. Similarly there's the thing that every person loves differently, and reading into that is a totally human thing, but sometimes it is better to just vibe it out.

Or I had trouble with when things got uncertain and then I got stressed out about trying to save a sinking ship and only sinking it further in the process. Working on that! You're not gonna know everything about each other, and that's totally cool beans.

8 - any fandom/niche/hyperfixation topics you can rant about for hours?

If we're taking ranting in the negative way, I can totally go on about misinterpretations of fairly popular greek myths and the effects that has on the general image of mythology. It's always more nuanced than most popular interpretations seem to suggest. (l*re *lympus my beloathed)

But on a positive note! I love it when works break the mold. I love it when things are aware of the limitations of their medium and twist them into tremendous advantages. I got a whole thesis on why Carrie (Stephen King) works so well in book form because telepathy!! and when you are reading the words you are thinking them!! so it's close to the thing it wants to depict!! Also the intertextuality of that one is so nice. UGH. It is one of my favorite books for a reason.

18 - favorite biome/landscape?

I’ve been so busy with other stuff but I really want to get back to drawing WHF art so I went and cleaned up a wip. Not sure how I feel with some of the angles but I just needed to get this out of my system

on one hand the current state of internal and external mindsets means i dont think ill ever be in a relationship and realistically speaking, thats truly fine. On the other hand if i dont get to plunge my hands into a man's abdominal cavity and crawl in soon i may die. Right now or I'll die.

insane to me that brad just straight up tells jo "i like you." in the season 2 finale. it wasn't some manipulation thing or a power play it was just a genuine moment of affection it's literally so cute

I'm not allowed to be on social media for more than two seconds today but I just wanted to say that Laios will absolutely have his own reaction to all this as someone who would die for Falin but has also imprinted on Marcille as his Emotional Support Comphet White Girl Not-Girlfriend along the way

if i had a nickel for every time i found out a guy that i liked had dated somebody who looked exactly fucking like me i would have 3 nickels… which isn’t a lot… but it’s weird that it’s happened thrice

... so, like, what if i made a normie civilian — full on widowed single father, either an art teacher or convenience store owner ( could’ve done both — not sure what’s his current occupation yet ), loves and dotes on his child, generally a decent member of society — and had him awakened during the culling games :o)

maybe his ct has to do with vertigo inducement or force field generation ... anyways, potential for another feller to be walking around just trying to live life after being struck with the wtf beam :-)

i think part of the reason why bloodweave works so well is because it’s self recognition through the other. 2 sides of the same coin

astarion didn’t like gale at first and i think it’s because it was like looking into a mirror. the same hunger, the same need to chase after power because neither of them think they’re safe/good enough as they are, the same desperation for love and acceptance

and they could very well be the pair that breaks each other out of this pattern of thinking

we see how gentle astarion can be with someone he cares for and how he doesn’t want to see the other hurt. we see how understanding and sympathetic gale can be and how devoted he is to his partner no matter what. they won’t want to ruin the other because they’re all they have. i might even go so far to say that they understand each other on a deeper level than any of the other companions do

i am going to say it now btw but the way you perceive alex in yiik is basically how you perceive someone who essentially has severe untreated moral ocd specifically around fearing he has npd and severe bpd and hpd that mimics npd and severe pediatric onset ocd that mimics the symptoms of DID which has happened and can happen according to multiple studies and my actual first psychiatrist who specialized in pediatric ocd btw.

if you perceive him as a narcissist and irredeemable and are going to be ableist about both people with npd and him? yeah you'll perceive him as irredeemable with no good points

if you perceive him as someone with such severe moral ocd that the thought of even OFFENDING his friends makes him fear he's an irredeemable violent criminal who deserves to be executed and has abandonment trauma around his father and abuse trauma around his mother that splintered him into multiple headmates? you're going to understand alex a little better than the average fan or hater.

basically: to understand alex as a character you need to know only one thing and it's he believes like 100 percent that he deserves to be hated for existing and that nobody should love him. it's the opposite of the common perception of him that he believes he should be loved unconditionally because he thinks he doesn't.

Iruma is an invasive species within the Netherworld, and like many invasive species he will conquer if left unchecked.

We know at some point, humans and demons interacted though, at some point, they each became each other’s myths. I propose that the separation was intentional on the demon side, relegating humans to bedtime stories. They did this because they knew a single human could elevate or devastate the Netherworld. Humans are weaker in demons in most ways physically but their real strength lies in their cooperativeness and desire for community, adaptability  and perseverance despite adversity.

Right from the start, Iruma has unnaturally succeeded in a world that incredibly hostile to him. And yet from the start be began building relationships. We’ve seen demons don’t have much of a concept of ‘friends’ the closest being ‘allies’. The Misfits individually were lazy and self-centered which is what got them sent to troublemakers class. Only when Iruma reached out and formed positive relationships, created a foreign system of giving and receiving help did they really flourish. With each arc, we see the class cooperating and relying with each other more and more, even in individual events. Its helped them grow exponentially in power and personality and only occurred because Iruma planted the notion that they are stronger together.

Iruma is also extremely adaptable not only from his hectic upbringing but his innate humanity. Despite not knowing the context of what is happening during most of his day, he adapts extremely well. He uses what skills he gained in the human world by tweaking them to suit his needs and picked up new demonic skills (such as using Ali-san’s stored magic) very quickly. Part of the ‘special training’ leading up to the Harvest Festival was forcing the kids to break out of just using their bloodline abilities. Iruma has no power himself and thus isn’t limited in what he uses to complete a task. We’ve seen on a few occasions he wins simply because his opponent is too stuck in a particular way of fighting and thinking. Being able to think on his feet and not just stick to the familiar is what makes him such a fierce opponent.

Finally, we’ve observed that demons on the whole are self-centered and lazy. This is not always the case but overall many lack the ability to pursue or accept change. Even the Six Fingers is all about returning to origins and reviving Delkira, in other words, moving backwards. But since he arrived in the Netherworld Iruma has boldly moved forward. He integrated well into a completely alien environment and not only became popular but powerful very quickly. He worked hard to unlearn an ingrained skill (dodging) to win a contest going head to head with the most powerful student. Even when his fellows wanted to give up, his dedication and well known compassion helped win them the Royal One. He became an expert archer even when his master said most demons gave up, refusing to put in the effort. Challenges that most demons backed down from, Iruma charged on ahead.

Iruma used his ability to bring people together, to adapt to any situation no matter how strange and to see his ambitions through to go from someone who should’ve been eaten on day one to a stand out demon. Iruma himself is a kind, extraordinary young man but he also has a natural advantage in an environment he is unknowingly adapted to. It’s one of the reasons why he will eventually be demon king because who else deserves to stand at the very top than the creature who can outnumber, out-think and outlast any demonic opponent?
