#kinda negative sorryyy

[corvidus-fr]

super quick musings on Fathoms. i like a lot about the pose + design, but i feel like they kinda suffer from Undel Sameface when everything about their lore is pointing towards "friendly gentle ocean giants". wanted to roughly sketch Merrigan for a side-by-side comparison, and then some rough doodles of how i might push the design in a chunkier, more cetacean-inspired direction - 3 is swapping the features but keeping the overall proportions/layout mostly the same, and 4 is pushing the proportions even further

witcher s2 thoughts

- i actually miss the scrambled/non linear timeline, because i really think it paid off in s1 from a narrative standpoint. it was fun having to puzzle out which events happened after/before others in s1! but i get why they went with a linear timeline, so it’s not like i’m angy about this specific choice.

- the eskel episode... i knew something was up when they cast an actor who doesn’t look anything like the game character 8even if he’as supposed to look more like in the books?? but his scar was still tiny). i pretend it’s just a different guy with a name that’s written differently but pronounced the same or sth. hashtag notmyeskel

- geralt and ciri training together was so good but too short!! i loved the scene where he hands her the sword and she starts to imitate his steps!! why was most of her training then the same training course!!!! they could have shown her actually getting instructed by the other witchers!!! not just doing the same thing over and over again while they were just watching her and being dicks??

- a lot of the characters that are supposed to get along quite well were made a lot meaner to each other? what was up with that???

- that one mute elf boy getting killed was fucked up and genuinely made me really fucking upset.

- yennefer really has been Going Through It, but i really enjoyed her journey as a powerless commoner tbh. even if the reason for it was.. eh.

- on that note, i absolutely LOVED yen and jaskier meeting, working together and her trying to find him!!! they were just as fun as in s1 and when she played his drunk wife??? hello??? these two being frenemies makes me so happy okay.

- i forgot how fucking amazing joe batey’s singing is and oh boy did he sing his heart out. i love love love his voice and i love the new song. might not turn into as much of a meme, but still *chefs kiss* 

- visually there were a LOT of amazing scenes and i got the impression that overall both in set design as well as camerawork the second season was better than the first one. the monsters also looked mostly really really good.  

- small detail, but i liked how they used real rats and mice and the owl and raven throughout the season. they looked so cute!!!

- dad!geralt with the dwarfs coming to the rescue!!!! was!!!!! so good!!!!!!!

- jaskier got the apology he deserved... and apparently he got fucking ripped????

- one of my favorite scene transitions was from ciri’s hallucination of dancing in the halls of cintra’s palace to switching to reality, where the same space is overtaken by the nilfgaardians.

on to the more severe criticisms:

- the whole storyline with yennefer being used to abduct ciri felt weird and out of place. it just seemed like an additional, unnecessary “everyone is after ciri” conflict when there were already enough factions after her already. and imho yennefer deserved better than being regaled to a boring story beat like that and turned into another minor antagonist again.

- on that note, the deathless mother seemed like a way to force multiple stories and characters to connect better and get the plot to the final episode, but it just made people adversaries that shouldn’t have been. see above, both yennefer and the witchers going after ciri? what?? why ruin relationships before they even had a chance to form positive bonds?

- to add onto that, the final showdown also fell really flat emotionally due to this. the only saving grace was geralt and ciri’s bond, because the show had actually properly established how much he cared for her, while literally everyone else present had seemed overly detached or hostile when it came to ciri for so much of the series. 

-  because every single conflict was so tightly woven into the main story, it didn’t make for a particularly interesting/varied full season. it had good and great parts in between, but it also had very one-tone, dull parts. while season 1 had geralt, yennefer and ciri’s storylines vary more greatly, season 2 had too much interwoven instead of just overlapping.

- this isn’t to say it was a bad season, but this major narrative choice just didn’t work very well. geralt and ciri as well as yennefer and jaskier had the biggest emotional impact to me because there was notable positive connection. 

- in hindsight, there was also just a lot less humor this season. characters dying that you felt really bad for dying, animals dying... and the biggest comic relief character only appearing halfway through the season? yea... tonally, this was definitely a step down.

[ticklepinions]

The bad? The way woman are extremely sexualized and when you say you don't want nothing to do with underwear tickling you get mistreated, the fact that if you type tickling gif you will see only 5 or so gifs containing boys, the fact that it's not a single bit inclusive and that it's hard to see black, non binary, butches, and it will be mostly skinny girls... Thus leading to a lot of creeps thinking they CAN sexualize woman and it's normal in this community, the fact that m|m it's not so comum and w|w are mostly sexualized and fetishizes

Another factor i want to mention as the bad is the amount of people who become obsessed with tickling and you can't see them no longer as a person, because all they talk about is tickling, and they no longer see you as a person, they see you as a lee or let or switch, trying to intrusively tickle talk without seeing any boundaries, you get completely detached from reality vibes from this kind of person because you can't imagine talking to someone that is like that in real life... Sorryyy for ginormus texts i just ugh these are just things that i always wanted to say but I've always been scared of talking about it and recieving negative criticism

To the first part:

Yes. Absolutely. I find it sad like I said in another post. There needs to be more sfw representation of tickles. There needs to be more body types and people of different identities and ethnicities.

Women and feminine aligning people are unfortunately very sexualized in our society. And it's funny cause you don't think homophobia would get looped into being one of the factors as to why it's still being upheld today. There are double standards with w|w compared to m|m. With m|m I've seen people be labeled as the usual "that's gay/sus" and I'm like uh what does sexuality have to do with tickling?? In a nsfw context sure, I get it. But sfw? You don't have to enjoy/tolerate being touched by another person because of their identity, however when you start being disrespectful you're crossing the line. If you are a masc identifying person and like being tickled by only masc identifying people that's more than valid. It does not change your sexuality, thats up to you. The minute its w|w cis straight guys go bonkers. It's so "hot" and "sexy", maybe fetishizing it isn't their intent but I feel like that's whats happening. And this leads to the second part you mentioned.

People see others as nothing more than an object for their pleasure. It is gross. It's sad. Because often they don't realize it. Despite people trying ti say hey, that's kinda creepy, they just can't see the error of their ways. My thing is, I get we are in this community and we all have one common liking of tickles. And for some it's hard picking topics that don't seen mundane so as a fail-safe they go straight for tickle talk. And it's frustrating because the receiver (depending on the person) feels like wow am I just a lee/ler/switch to them. And it sucks. Does no one want to get to know the real me? Like you just like that I'm ticklish and that's it? Lame. I love friendship. No scratch that. I love familyship. I love getting to remind people that I love them. I love creating my own group where I feel like I belong and they the same. When you get to truly know the person first, it's just so much more fun. The banter, the inside jokes, it's amazing. You literally can meet your new best friends here. And guess what? Tickle talk CAN happen but most times you're sending memes to each other, or pictures of fluffy cows. Don't you want that? Rather than a *tickles your [REDACTED]*? To each their own but just my opinion.

Anyway my brain doesn't work linearly. So back to the first point. Women deserve better. Period. Black women and other women of colour deserve better. Trans women deserve better. Women who are thin and women who have chub deserve better. Women should be allowed to post pictures without being sexualised. Without having to be afraid that if they post themselves they'd get creepy dms. Dont get me started on d!ck pics. Before this gets too long, I hear you and I'm here for you if you ever need. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it. This is a safe space for your thoughts.

[gameimagines]

In that case! I was wondering if I could request hcs for Raihan, Piers & Leon with an s/o they met during the tournament? The s/o being an idol(who's theme gravitates around their shiny Charizard) from another region, participating with special endorsement from Rose(for mutual exposure), earning them some scorn from locals? But then proving they actually deserve said endorsement and even manage to snatch a draw against the Champion's Gigantamax Charizard with their own Mega Charizard X! 💖💖💖

Requested by: Shiny Charizard Anon!

Fandom: Pokémon SWSH

Notes: thank you for your patience! This is been in my inbox for around a month, sorryyy. I went with Kanto for the foreign region (gen 1 needs more love by someone who isn’t gamefreak lol). Also wasn’t sure if you wanted s/o to be participating in the gym challenge or just there for some tournament so I wrote both. Up next is a Leon request by Cooking Anon!

.

.

.

Raihan

Chances are Raihan already followed the Kanto idol on social media long before they came to Galar.

He probably found out about you because of your shiny Charizard. He’s low key kinda jealous - a shiny Charizard would look really cool on his team.

He’s pumped to meet you. Raihan wants at least three selfies with you. He’d probably love an idol s/o. He’s also a bit of a celebrity who likes being in the public eye, so Raihan would enjoy dating someone with similar popularity status (he’s not trying to social climb, he just likes the relatability) (plus y’all would be a power couple).

Despite his internal excitement, he tries to play it cool (keyword: tries). Raihan accidentally lets it slip that he’s been a follower for quite a while (like bringing up some small detail only a long time fan would know).

Raihan’s pretty irritated with the mixed reviews on a foreign idol participating in some Galar exhibition matches and tournaments. Raihan feels like the Galar trainer scene should be open to anyone, especially if it’s some strong competition.

Types up a couple of posts expressing his enthusiasm that a Kanto superstar is participating and that any opposition can shut up about it.

Raihan likes intense battles. So if your fighting style is dramatic, Raihan will be captivated by it.

Obviously, Raihan wants to win any battle he’s in. But if you beat him (he finds himself oddly more attracted to you because of it) or he doesn’t get matched up against you - Raihan’s rooting for ya.

But he’s a little torn when you fight Leon. The applin of his eye against his greatest rival? Raihan isn’t sure who he’s rooting for but he’s on the edge of his seat.

When your battle against Leon ends in a draw, Raihan is floored. Raihan will rewatch the fight several times (mostly because he’s smitten by you but also he’s trying to pick up tactics to beat Leon with).

If you have to return back to your home region, Raihan visits you at least once a month. He’s your biggest fan after all.

Piers

Piers might have no idea who you are. Despite being a gym leader, Piers has big hermit vibes. He’s from a somewhat unknown and rundown town, he doesn’t follow the status quo, and occasionally he misses big events. In short - Piers does his own thing

So unless your music is grunge or rock, Piers probably hasn’t heard of you.

That’s not to say he isn’t interested! But the first thing that catches his eye is your use of mega evolutions. Piers doesn’t dynamax, so when he watches a trainer send out a mega evolution to fight a Gigantamax Pokémon, he’s intrigued and a little impressed.

From then on out he tries to get some info on you. Piers asks Marnie and some Team Yell members if they’ve heard of you.

If you sing, Piers downloads a few of your albums. He’d love to talk about music with you. If you offer to do a duet with him, Piers will be become uncharacteristically bashful. But then he’ll tell you he’d like to.

Compliments you on your aesthetic. Piers appreciates trainer fashion that mimics the Pokémon they train.

Piers won’t publically get involved with negative press you receive for being an “outsider” (mostly because the press don’t really talk to him) but he will do his best to comfort you. Piers is used to negative critiques and had built up a thick skin because of it. Piers tells you not to worry about it and shut them up by taking down the other gym leaders.

If you take the gym challenge and make it to Piers’ gym, he’s a little embarrassed of his gym “arena”. He knows as an idol you probably spend your days in glamorous venues and hopes you don’t critique his dingy little town.

Despite budding romantic feelings, Piers won’t take it easy on you. He’s eager to see if your Charizard is just for show or if it’s as strong as it looks.

Piers seems like he isn’t the biggest fan of Leon, so it’s easy for him to root for your victory over Leon.

“Stick it to him, Y/N.”

He’s slightly pessimistic so he isn’t too certain you’ll win but when the battle results in a tie (your mega Charizard X evenly matched with Leon’s famous Gigantamax Charizard no less), Piers is so proud of you.

Leon

Love at first sight

Just kidding! But from the moment he watches you battle, Leon is ready to meet you.

In fact, you probably piqued Leon’s interest before that. A challenger sponsored by Chairman Rose must be good.

He loves the Charizard aesthetic. He’ll ask if you think he’d look good in a similar get up.

Leon looks forward to fighting you. He’s especially excited to test his own Charizard’s strength against your shiny Charizard.

Puts to rest any arguments about a Kanto idol competing in Galar. Leon wants Galar trainers to be the strongest in the world, what better way to test that then with some friendly foreign competition?

Because you and Leon have matching starters, some fans start shipping you two. Leon acts oblivious to this information, but the fan art makes his heart swell. He hoped your fan base would like him. It gives him even more confidence to make a move.

Leon’s a lot more flirtatious with you than he is the other challengers and it does NOT go unnoticed.

Nevertheless, Leon isn’t going to go easy on you. For his title, Galar pride, and perhaps in hopes to impress you - he holds nothing back.

Leon coyly asks you out before you fight him. He tells you winner buys dinner.

So when the dust settles and both Charizards faint? He later chuckles and offers to split the bill.

But in moment? Leon’s stunned. He can see why you have such a large following. Going toe to toe with Leon’s Charizard is no small feat. But to whip out a Mega Charizard X against Leon’s Gigantamax Charizard? Unprecedented.

Leon’s completely engrossed in the battle and dazzled by your style and tactics.

Afterwards, he asks you to stay for a while in Galar. Leon knows you probably have responsibilities to return back to in Kanto, but he wants to keep you to himself for a little bit longer.

Summary: Virgil can’t get a job and he accidentally takes his anger out on poor Patton.

Alright, onward with the story!

Virgil stares at the paper in his hands as his breath speeds up without his awareness. The edges begin to crinkle in his fists. It’s shaking.

He doesn’t deserve this letter. He refuses to accept the words that are screaming back at his face. Not after everything that he’s tried. Not after all of his hard work. He doesn’t deserve to read the words “We regret to inform you” again.

After so many pieces of paper with the same phrase ended up shredded in the trash, it feels so easy to just stop trying. Because he’s trying so hard to get a job. It’s so unreasonably difficult.

He’s applied for jobs he’s overqualified for, underqualified for, and ones that he was certain that he would get hired for. Maybe that’s why it hurts so much. Because he knows that he should have gotten a way to earn income on his own by now.

The desire to just be able to stand on his own two feet is overwhelming. He’s tired of staring into the black hole that is his wallet and deciding that he hasn’t done enough to pay for a cup of coffee. Friends keep paying for simple things that he insists he doesn’t want or need.

It’s the building guilt that’s getting to him. That’s it. He doesn’t want them to pay for the things that he should be able to pay for himself.

And another rejection? Virgil’s sure that he has applied for all the operating stores in a five-mile radius. There have to be more desperate places where he could apply. He just has to look harder and dig deeper.

But if he receives another “we regret to inform you” letter, he’s going to lose his mind.

There’s a hand on his shoulder, “Hey, Kiddo? You okay?”

Virgil takes a deep breath, “Yeah, it’s just another rejection.”

“Aw, I’m sorry.” Patton leans his head on Virgil’s. It’s supposed to be comforting, but it feels like the action is full of pity. Patton must be tired of Virgil using him as a crutch. He probably thinks he’s manipulative and only has him as a friend because he wants money.

“Thanks,” Virgil manages, hoping that Patton can’t hear the weird raspiness in his throat. “It’s just exhausting trying and trying and then to keep… you know?”

“I know,” Patton rubs Virgil’s arm. He finally gently shakes himself out of Patton’s hold to place the letter on the counter.

“I don’t know how I can support myself anymore.”

Patton slowly nods his head, “Are you sure you can’t ask your parents for help?”

As close as Patton and Virgil are, Virgil’s never told him about his situation with his family. It’s embarrassing and dirty and awkward. But he’s thankful for it because he was able to meet Patton. His parents essentially kicked him out as soon as he turned eighteen because they couldn’t handle a gay son in their house. He would be a bad influence on his younger siblings. His behavior was “unacceptable”.

He isn’t really mad at his parents for thinking like that though. He knows that they grew up in a generation where “gay” was a slur and there was so much negativity in the media about the queer community. He couldn’t really change their mind.

He just wishes he could for his siblings’ sake.

That being said, Virgil can’t ask for his parents’ help. He told them he could manage on his own. He told them that he could support himself better than they could support him.

And here he is. Drowning in his empty pockets, leaning on his friends for everything. Once again his parents prove him wrong even though they are thousands of miles away.

He promised himself that he would be independent and he’s become more able to do things on his own. He thought he could handle it, but evidently not.

“Yeah, I don’t think they would be able to help me.”

A strange expression washes over Patton’s face. Virgil can’t read it. “Are you sure?”

Virgil rolls his eyes. Maybe he’ll take the hint and bite his tongue. “Yes, Pat. I have to do this myself. On my own.”

Patton crosses his arms, “Okay, then, I just don’t understand why you refuse to ask your parents for help. They’re your parents. They have to understand your situation.”

He resists the urge to laugh. He would rather not think about them being his parents because they never really seemed like his parents. “I don’t understand why you think that I can ask for their help.”

“Well, when I’m struggling, I just give my mom a call and have a chat with her and I always feel better. I think you should explain your situation to them, and they can help you out while you find a new job.”

“Okay, well, some of us don’t have the luxury of calling our parents. Some of us don’t have everything served to us on a silver platter. Some of us have to actually work in order to float. Some of us actually have to try.”

Virgil could tell by the amount, condition, and brand of Patton’s clothes that he grew up in a wealthy family. Or at least one that never needed assistance from the government. Maybe that’s why Patton’s always happy. Because he already has everything he could ever need in life.

Patton shakes his head as he takes a step back, “That’s not fair-”

Virgil laughs dryly. How thick can he be? “You’re right. It’s not fair that I’ve had to work so hard in order to be able to survive up to this moment in time and you have been able to feed off of your parents to this day.”

He snatches the letter from off the counter before storming off to his room, shaking his head.

He latches the door behind him slowly, preventing himself from slamming it because he told himself he would never ever slam a door.

Sure, maybe, his actions are a bit immature. But, as he stares at a crumpled piece of paper in his hands, his actions seem justified.

He leans his head against the door and closes his eyes. Patton didn’t understand. He can’t just bring up Virgil’s family and expect the conversation to go over well. After everything Virgil’s done to prevent phrases that his par- phrases that they’ve said from resurfacing. Patton can’t just make them bubble up to the forefront of his mind.

He’s made progress that he’s proud of. It’s wrong to remind him of the past without warning. Patton has no idea how difficult it has been to not think about the people that raised him. They were his foundation that he relied on until he couldn’t anymore.

Patton has no idea.

Wait, Patton has no idea.

Sugar honey iced tea.

He turns around and grasps the door handle. He pauses. If he goes out there, Patton could be upset that Virgil just lashed out at him for no reason.

His hand falls.

He doesn’t want to be reprimanded by Pat. But, if he stays in his room, he’s afraid he might explode. Of guilt or anxiety? He’s not really sure.

He looks around him until he notices the window that leads to a fire escape. Perfect.

It takes a few moments to carefully traverse the rickety metal steps. And once he reaches the ground, he feels an actual weight being lifted from his chest.

Freedom. The air in his apartment is far too heavy with the guilt of hurting Patton and the combined failures crumpled up in messy spheres in his garbage.

He needs to talk to someone else.

His legs guide him to the library where Logan works. The walk is peaceful, side for the hum of cars whizzing past him. Memories of his youth flood his mind. When he was younger, he would walk hand in hand with his mother and the cars driving past would cause him alarm. They were so close to him and they could so easily jump the pavement and hit him.

But, everything was alright because Mom said so. She told him that the drivers knew what they were doing. And since she was there, she would always protect him. The cars would have to get past her first.

She always placed herself between the street and her son.

The rush of air from the entrance of the library brings him back to the present. Taking out his earbuds, he approaches the front desk to see Logan rapidly shoving items into his messenger bag as some random librarian assists the person checking out a stack of books. His phone is sandwiched between his shoulder and his ear.

He said he never does that because it is dangerous, and one could easily drop their phone. Yet, here Logan is, disregarding his own advice.

“I’m on my way. Try to calm down. Take a few deep breaths,” Logan hangs up the phone before throwing it into his bag.

Scrunching his eyebrows together, Virgil asks, “Logan?”

Logan whips around, interrupting his frenzy to face Virgil. “Virgil? Why are you here? Are you okay?” His voice is low in volume but still incredibly urgent.

Virgil takes a step back so his brain can comprehend the words that are quickly exiting Logan’s mouth at Mach 2 speed. “Uh, I’m fine.”

“Then why the hell-” He cuts himself off as he looks around him. Virgil is suddenly aware of him wringing his hands together. He watches as Logan takes a deep breath before informing the librarian that he has to step out for a second. The librarian nods once sharply in conformation.

Logan silently slips out from behind the counter and leads Virgil to the front of the library. He tucks them into a side street branching from the library.

Virgil feels his throat go dry. He’s pretty sure that Logan didn’t bring him here so he could beat him up, but he can’t stop the thought from crossing his mind.

“Would you like to explain to me why Patton just called me panicking because he thought that you ran away and would quote-unquote ‘do something bad?’” Logan urges as he crosses his arms across his chest.

Virgil takes the tiniest step back at Logan’s tone. It’s like his words are made out of steel. “I might have upset him.” It sounds more like a question than a statement.

“That might have been the largest understatement that has ever exited your mouth.” He sighs loudly, “Excuse me, I have to tell Patton you are alright before he keels over.”

His stomach flips as Logan turns around, pulling out his cellphone from his pants pocket. Hurting Patton is the absolute worst thing Virgil has ever done.

That might have been an exaggeration, but in this moment it feels like it. Patton didn’t deserve Virgil’s stupid outburst. He didn’t deserve any of the shit Virgil puts him through. And yet, he continues to tolerate Virgil’s presence.

Logan’s voice cuts through the stale air, “Hi, Patton. I’ve run into Virgil, and he is fine.” Virgil shuffles his feet and sniffs, “Yes, I’ll tell him… Okay… Okay… 10 minutes… Goodbye.”

Logan turns back around as he pockets his phone once again, “Patton is awaiting your arrival back at the apartment. I told him that it would take you approximately 10 minutes for you to return home. Please hurry back and fix this mess because he is very worried.”

Virgil feels like he just murdered someone. That’s how much intense guilt is crushing what is left of his soul. He doesn’t deserve friends like this.

“Thanks, Logan.”

“Anytime,” he leads Virgil to the end of the side street before pausing and turning Virgil to face himself. “Just please try to not do this again.”

Virgil swallows, “Duly noted.”

Logan makes off toward the library as Virgil is left wallowing in his own mind as his feet trudge back to his apartment.

As soon as Logan leaves, Virgil feels light, whispiness in the air leave with him. He doesn’t want to face Patton yet, but he’s already done enough damage. He’s taken Patton’s money, lied to him, and screamed at him. Why does he still care?

Why does Patton have the capacity to care about him?

It doesn’t seem fair. Virgil has absolutely nothing to offer Patton. His implanted negative attitude always brings everyone down with him. He’s not smart like Logan and can’t solve any of his own goddamn issues. He’s not funny like Roman and can’t make anyone laugh to brighten their day. He’s not empathetic like Patton and can’t help anybody. He’s just a goddamn nuisance.

He’s exactly what his parents told him he would become.

A monster.

A monster who craves power and feeds off of exuberant people.

A monster who is the villain that rampages other people’s wallets and destroys their happiness.

A monster with absolutely no purpose.

Virgil looks up to see his apartment complex. His fingers wrap around the keys in his pocket. They feel heavier than usual.

He drags his feet as he maneuvers through the small crowd of people gathering in the lobby.

Virgil decides against using the stairs as he’s afraid his legs just might collapse underneath him.

Entering the elevator, he feels like he’s breathing through cheesecloth. The keys jingle in his left hand as he uses his right to push the button for the fourth floor. Luckily, the elevator doors slide closed before anybody else could enter the small box.

He glues his eyes to the ascending floor numbers that seem to be changing far too quickly.

This problem must be solved for Patton’s sake. The monstrous puddle of guilt gushing into his stomach agrees with him.

The elevator dings as it comes to a stop on the fourth floor. Virgil exits and soon enough he is staring at his apartment number.

He should just run back down. Forget about this whole ordeal and deal with it tomorrow. He can’t open this stupid door. His hands refuse to fish for the keys in his pocket.

No.

He has to do this. If not for himself, then for Patton.

Deal with the consequences.

He wills his hands to take out his keys and insert them into the keyhole.

Here goes nothing.

The door creaks open and Patton is standing in the living room. His back is to the door. His hands are tangled in his hair and he holds his glasses in his left hand.

He turns around quickly, “Virge?” Patton makes a mad dash for the door.

Virgil’s legs suddenly don’t work, so he allows Patton to wrap his arms around him. Virgil slowly pats his back before using his foot to close the door behind them.

Patton sniffs before he lets go, “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have pressured you to talk about your parents. And I’m so sorry I made you feel like you had to leave. But I wasn’t thinking and-”

“Woah, Pat,” Virgil interrupts, “It’s- It’s,” he laughs humorously. “It’s not your fault. It never was.”

“Of course it was!” He exclaims, rubbing a hand across his eyes. “I should have never made you- I should have just been there for you, no questions asked.”

“Patton,” Virgil chuckles quietly, “That’s insane! We’re best friends. I should have never expected you to blindly catch my fall. That’s asking way too much of you.”

“Wait,” Patton pauses, “You still think we’re best friends?”

Virgil takes Patton’s hand, “Of course I do. One disagreement doesn’t equal the end of the world.”

Patton looks at the ground, “Oh.”

“Patton, none of this is your fault. I was just scared because I didn’t think you would understand the, um, situation with me and my parents.”

“I can assure you that I will do my best to be here for you.”

“It’s just,” Virgil pauses. The words won’t exit his tongue. His mouth is filled with cotton. He didn’t realize how difficult this would be until he was actually in the moment.

“You don’t have to tell me tonight, Virge. I trust you to tell me when you’re ready. And if that day never comes, I will respect your decision.”

“Thanks.”

“Well!” Patton shouts, “I think this calls for a tea and Netflix night. What do you think?”

Virgil smiles as Patton grins widely, “With that smile, how could I disagree?”

Hello I'd like to have a matchup😳 - I am 155cm , skinny girl with wavy brown hair and same color eyes with round glasses, Aries. Others think I'm outgoing and confident. But deep inside me is fear of new changes and easy to cry. I'm a good listener while others were mad or upset, but I'll be scared of they're really mad to me. I'm always overthinking and want to show my best and be nice to others. I love reading and listening to music. Also I kinda like aesthetic and vintage stuffs. Thanks :D

here's my actual answer, anon. im sorryyy

I ship you with...

🌸 Yukichi Fukuzawa 🌸

You walked into the Armed Detective Agency President's office for an interview and with your vivacious personality and a taste for vintage style, you complimented Fukuzawa for his nice "aesthetic". You were hired on the spot.

Fukuzawa observed you from his desk. You're vibrant, exciting and talkative; traits of a true Aries. You get along with pretty much everybody in the agency, carries yourself in a certain level of confidence and you're not shy to take on leadership roles when it's needed. He's impressed, to say the least. Fukuzawa is a very reserved man so when the time came where he asked you to meet him for tea outside work, you were a bit baffled, only realizing that it was an actual date when Fukuzawa openly admitted that he admires you.

You didn't really thought that you could also fall for the quiet man at first, but Fukuzawa's gentleness just calms your natural fiery nature. He's caring and attentive to the people around him, so you can be sure to get your daily dose of attention from him. He'll give you praises for your good work everyday and compliments you on your beauty whenever there's just the two of you in the room. He even asks for your advice sometimes if he has to make a decision and you feel flattered that your opinion matters to a wise man like him. He told you it's because he believes in your intelligence and he trusts in your wisdom. In fact, he often gets into intellectual discussions with you when you're together and sometimes even have a friendly debate. Either way, you enjoy the stimulation and challenge that it gives you and it makes you feel good about yourself. In your mind, you've put Fukuzawa in a completely higher level than you are but seeing how well you actually click together, maybe you're just equals after all.

And that's what made you fall for him even more. The way he makes you feel like he's never above you nor that you're under him, you're equals, standing beside each other on an even ground. His ability's name says it all. He never aimed to control you in any way and he lets you live your own life. You're independent and self-driven, he loves that so much about you and all he really wants to do is to support you. In a way, Fukuzawa became your best friend. You know you can tell him everything and he won't judge you. But if you speak or act before thinking, he's there to hold you down. He's outspoken with his opinions and Fukuzawa might not be domineering, but he's not a pushover either and you just like him like that.

Underneath your strong and independent surface may lie an insecurity that's hidden behind your lively personality. You have a drive to succeed and you could put too much pressure on yourself, resulting in self-doubt. Whether you admit this to him or not, he already knows. Fukuzawa's observant eyes was able to see the slightest contortion of your face whenever you start to overthink about anything. You would suddenly become quiet, staring at the distance and would even bite your nails sometimes; he has memorized all the signs of it so before your train of thoughts can even go too far, he's able to pull you back. Fukuzawa is just so great in comforting you. He knows exactly what to say to ease you back into reality as if he can hear your thoughts. Sometimes, if you get too deep in your worries, he would even hold you and rub your back to assure you that there's no reason to be too worried and things aren't always as bad as you think they are. The softness of his voice and his calm demeanor just gives you that confirmation that if he's this cool then yes, maybe things are really okay; that you're okay.

Overall, I think you're a good fit for each other because Fukuzawa will be the gentle air fanning your flames brighter. Yes, you're an energetic and independent person but you also need to feel appreciated and loved, being with Fukuzawa gives you that and more. Fukuzawa might not be on the peak of his youth anymore but that doesn't mean that he's boring. He goes with the flow and you can ask him to do anything with you and he'll most likely would agree. You can show him new music that you like and he will appreciate it, too. It may not always be his cup of tea but he will be okay with it, you can play your tunes with him around and he'll just watch you lovingly as you sing or dance along with it. You'll be a pillar for each other because as an Aries, you're always encouraging and giving strength to your partner and Fukuzawa thinks you're absolutely great to be around when he's in need or in times of despair. You're always there whenever Fukuzawa would wake up in cold sweat from a haunting nightmare from his past, he'll wrap himself around you and your presence alone is enough to calm him down. Fukuzawa is a man of great virtues and he lets you know openly how much he's proud of you for just trying to be the best person you can be and generally being nice to other people. He won't let anything or anyone to cause any harm with his subordinates so just imagine how much he'll protect you when his feelings for you is this strong; they'll have to go through his lifeless body first before they can even lay a finger on you. That extends to harmful thoughts and emotions, too. Fukuzawa won't allow you to wallow in the negatives if he can help it. No matter what he's doing or where he is, he will always put you first. He's not afraid to talk to you about feelings and emotions and make sure that the day won't end without him seeing a smile on your face again. Fukuzawa admires your strong personality, embraces your weaknesses and supports where you're insecure. He will wipe every tears and soothe any fears, whispering words of wisdom and affection in your ears until you believe in it too. Sometimes you get scared by the thought of losing him, but as he reached out for you as soon as he wakes up and your name being the first thing he utters in the morning; the taste of his lips being the last thing you think of before falling asleep; every little kisses he gives you in between the day when you're away from prying eyes; his quiet proclamations of love for you and the way his gaze only focuses on you despite being in a crowd, the doubt in your mind evaporates little by little. You're faithful to him and he is to you. The more you've stayed with him, the more secure you feel towards your relationship and in time, towards yourself too. Fukuzawa just can't deny himself from adoring you. How can he resist your incandescent brown eyes shining through your glasses and the curves of your hair dancing with the rays of sun as you walk towards him? Fukuzawa has a weakness towards cute things and you're at the top of the list.

***

Thank you for sending this in, anon~ here's a song from Fukuzawa to you hehe (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ the app I used to make Fukuzawa's avatar is different and I know what he's wearing is not a yukata but it's the closest one I can find ;-; anyways, I hope you liked this and cheered you up even just a lil bit. I hope the little scenario thingy I put in the beginning is ok. Take care, anon! Someone out there loves you!~ (✿^‿^)

003 junko?

How I feel about this character: I'm honestly conflicted about her because on one side personality-wise she's unbearable and sometimes irritating tbh, she speaks like a spoiled, childish mean girl plus by having an only purpose that is despair and spreading despair she gets very repetitive and predictable herself and for someone who hates predictability, it's pretty ironic. On the other side tho, she can be hilarious when she wants and isn't she iconic? Absolutely. So I'd say to me she's a 50/50. Plus I really like her character design and when I got into dr for the first time unspoiled, it was her character design that made me suspicious of her in the first place. When she "died" I did think it was weird to waste such a character design because being awesome and good-looking aside I also had the feeling it was pretty... elaborated compared to the others' 👀 I think the concept of a bored villain who hasn't a particularly tragic backstory can be both a positive and a negative thing. It can be positive because it makes it different and unique, without making it such that you have to "understand" or try to "justify" her but it can also be negative because it can give you the impression of being very random and nonsensical and I say this because I saw it and I kinda get it. Unrelated but she's funny af to play if you give her the right traits on the sims 3, lol;

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: I'd have liked to see more of her as herself and Matsuda, and I'm also interested in her with Tsumiki or Ko or Kamu for drama's sake. Also, if v3 peeps are just dr stans I'd ship her especially with Kaede and Tsumugi who'd be her biggest fans imo;

My favourite non-romantic relationship for this character: I'd have liked to see a confrontation or a "fight of wits" between her and Yukizome who seemed to have the potential to be quite the charismatic character, the wiki says Junko doesn't see her as below her like anyone else because her despair was different from the others' but it's just an hypothesis?? The thing is, Yukizome is the only one we see sitting close to her in the afterlife (yes, for storytelling purposes) but why couldn't there be more to it? (Idk if it's clear sorryyy);

My unpopular opinion about this character: Idk I don't think I've said anything that hasn't been said by the fandom in general;

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: I saw that fanart with Naeggs trying to rehabilitate her with no result in an au where she survived and honestly same;

Favourite friendship for this character: I liked her interactions with Maizono in UTDP and I wonder how gambling matches would go between her and Celes? I can see her trolling the fuck out of her with her analysis skills especially since everyone believes she's only a fashionista... What would happen then? Would she drive her to despair? Would she take her place as SHSL gambler? Oh, and with Kirigiri? Would she solve a test case earlier than her? Would she take her place as SHSL detective? Who knows 👀;

My crossover ship: none.

[checks the clock].... anon darling i'd love to chat, but ive been in the hospital for the past 12 hours ? part of what i wanna say is even tho you might be misfiring (i didnt post/reblog the You Can Enjoy Imperfect People Pairings and the meme spamming Hoes Mad posts even though i actually do know what you're talking about) HOWEVER i think i have something to say even if i'm not Really the person you were probably trying to talk to.

so i annotated your ask in snapchat

green: my thoughts

dark blue + red + that one black line that i forgot to make red: where i'm suspecting you got these bastardized thoughts from

SO.... important personal anecdote - a little while ago i got into a fight with a friend. it started over nothing, and it lasted for a month, and it became really painful, and had honestly been building up for a long time .. not because of anything we had done, but because (for the record, he/they, but thats not too important to this convo besides im only talking abt one person if i switch the pronouns around sorryyy) he was so fucking stressed out all the time and their mental health was so fucking bad that they just Crashed, Hard, and i couldn't even really fault this person for it because i kinda got it. ...... but not really:

the reason the argument went on so long and got so bad was because whenever i said ANYTHING it doesnt matter WHAT it was this person would take what i said and seemingly interpet it in the CRUELEST MOST HOSTILE WAY POSSIBLE. god i have NO IDEA how i could have stopped the fight. i didnt know then and i still dont know now.

anyway the point of saying that, is that i read the same posts you read, am i right? pls correct me if my suspicions are off.

see the thing is, no matter how much i try, i don't understand you at all, not really in my heart. i intellectually understood why my friend did what he did when he dug into my words and pulled out broken shards of my sentances that he used to cut himself and me with. why do you do what you do? allow me to read too deply into your actions: becuse you're in pain, right? am i reading you correctly? royal fucking broke your heart, didn't it? it broke my heart too, but i'm good at escaping into the positives, as you seem to be escaping into the negatives. god 'm so fucking sorry and angry that you're hurting, if you are hurting? all i have are the things i can divine from your messages, i wonder if i'm wrong. i wish to anything i could help you be alrght.

i wish you wouldn't take people's messages and twist them into blunt force weapons. some of these people are people i have spoken to and have a good impression of, so i feel for them too.

hey, do you really believe all this stuff you're saying? do you really not get it.... is this how you really feel?
