Hey there. Decided to follow since I couldn't directly reply to your comment on another post. I wanted to tell you that I agree, your comment adds some valuable nuance. While both parties are not equal, Democrats fail so often to take meaningful actions in office that would actually prevent this sort of terror. I sometimes feel like I must be crazy among my fellow lefties because I'm still so angry at Obama. We spent 8 years watching our country slide towards dictatorship under the Bush regime. Election day 2008 was such a magical experience, so full of hope; finally, a Democrat, was here to save the day and close Guantanamo, reunite families, and burn down that accursed Patriot Act. And then it was disappointment after disappointment as everyone else just shrugged it off as "well at least Bush is gone" and "you can't expect him to be perfect." I can't be the only one who's looking at the Trump 2.0 era with a resentment towards Democratic administrations for allowing so much power to pool into the presidential office. Would Trump be half as threatening without the Bush era surveillance powers that Obama and Biden had a chance to dismantle before it fell into "the wrong hands". I agree with you. They helped set us up for this. and we'll vote for them again just to avoid the scary Republicans.

Thank you so much for taking the time to send this ask and find a way to reply. It means a lot to me that someone else sees what I'm seeing and saw value in what I had to say - even if I couldn't fight off the frustrated tone at the end.

I swear, I have been paying attention and have tried to understand the world for essentially my entire life, and have been "organized" for all my adult life. And I'm realizing the thing that scares me and pisses me off the most is disengagement and the casual cruelty/condescension that comes with it. I'm so afraid we will learn nothing.

Like, people need DESPERATELY to WAKE THE FUCK UP. I know the phrase "both parties are the same" is pithy and also pisses people off, but the outcome of the 2024 election cannot be our fixation and main hang-up right now. I cannot emphasize enough, even if Trump were not elected, the USA would still be in extremely rapid decline, our federal govt amazingly corrupt and decompensating, and everyday people suffering.

There IS a way to escape this downward spiral and it is NOT party politics. Or, rather, it's a variety of strategies (where party politics may play an early role) and the end goal is to force permanent changes to our processes and systems and ultimately escape this crab bucket of the two-party system. (E.g. we have had decades to fix the electoral college and make 1 person:1 vote a reality; we have had decades to institute ranked choice voting...) This is what people might call "slow work"; however annoying that phrasing might sound, it's true.

And yet, so many people only seem to care when a "red" is in office. I don't know how to shake people out of it. The best I can scramble for is all the reminders of how Biden (and Obama) dropped the ball and fucked up, didn't take their role as public servants seriously, lied to and failed us.

It's not merely "who started it?" but also "who allowed it to continue?" "Who made it normal?" "Who expanded it?" -- this is not mere complacency, it is active COLLABORATION.

The creation of a fascist USA was a two-party project.

okay not to weigh in on the fucking pope dying but very,,,,,,, odd seeing queer lefties honouring the pope and purposefully ignoring the several homophobic slurs he’s used in the last year just bc he was propal??? i mean i wont lie i don’t know all that much about the man but i would have thought that the head of the Catholic Church dying would have inspired more crab raves than touching send offs on tumblr dot com, the home of the culturally xtian atheists who hate organised religion

fuck knows maybe I’m way outta line I don’t care it’s my blog to put stupid takes on if I wanna

[thefreethoughtprojectcom]

Like crabs in a bucket, the lefties and righties will make sure to attack any outliers, labeling them deranged conspiracy theorists or, worse yet, supporters of the other side so that their objections can be dismissed without discussion.

And the plan marches forward . . .

Prepare for Trouble! And Make It Double!

'Lefty' (Coral Geode 4FZ-β) and 'Righty' (Coral Geode 4FZ-α) are a pair of elite gems who serve as gem sea captains exploring potential gem colonies that are largely covered by water. They formed from coral cuttings that had their silica hardened into agate over long periods of time. This process, while taking millions of years to occur naturally, is sped up using cutting edge gem technology to only take several thousand years. Therefore, there aren't many Coral Geode gems, which adds to their status. When the process is done, the geodes are cut open, and two twin gems form, one from each half. Due to the cutting process, most Coral Geode twins have missing arms or legs, which are replaced by limb enhancers.

Righty and Lefty may be elite gems, but they're not exactly the sharpest rocks in the box. They tend to be overly theatrical to the detriment of their missions, which often involve interactions with the dominant species of the water worlds they visit. They love being twins and many other gems would say they make the whole thing very 'gimmicky'.

(Think of their attitudes kind of like Jessie and James!)

These characters were designed by @crabeetle (I had some input but crab did all the amazing work).

Unfortunately, there's more to it than that, and for a demonstration of why you can look at what's happening to Dropout right now.

Like, Dropout is a very lefty company, they walk the walk and talk the talk. They supported the writer's strike to the hilt, they're still masking on set, they're supporting Palestine and its people... And, recently, they had a guest who had talked a few times about the oct 7 attack, and talked (years ago) about his great grandfather's involvement in Israeli colonialism. Had he changed his mind since? Was it a lapse of judgement on Dropout's part? Don't know, don't care, not the point.

The point is rather than doing the quiet thing and just not watch the episode, maybe drop their subscription, fans kicked up a fuss and it turned into a whole social media Thing. We've all seen them. Right-wingers throw tantrums about companies 'going woke', left-wingers condemn fascist dogwhistles and suchlike, sometimes validly, sometimes out of crab bucket thinking, etc etc. Happens all the time.

Thing is, most companies either ignore these storms-in-a-teacup unless they get bad enough to make headlines, because they're cynical profit engines that care about their bottom line rather than their audience, and feeding the fire often just makes it worse. But Dropout is good people, they give a shit, so they responded by reaffirming their support for Palestine.

This mostly didn't mollify the purity brigade because see above re: feeding the fire just makes it worse, but also saying out loud that they don't support Zionists caught the attention of actual Zionists, and brought a whole new shitstorm down on Dropout, complete with physical and legal threats.

Dropout are good people, they give a shit, and because they give a shit they want to listen and respond to critique, but doing that means opening themselves up to the backblast of doing so and getting embroiled in fights with vicious heavyweights, and that's simply not sustainable.

People that keep doing that either go broke, or get cynical and hardened and stop caring about their audience more than their profit margin. Which means they stop vocally supporting controversial causes, and we lose another progressive voice.

It starts with the eternal left-wing circular firing squad/crab bucket mentality, but as things stand if you want a left-wing Andrew Tate, the problem is they have to be someone with the personality to just not give a shit about callouts, who can just brazen through controversy without getting bogged down by self-reflecting or trying to make amends or like... being a good person.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

🐶 - Did you have any pets growing up? What about now?

"Lefty's my pet crab. He's also about the hundredth Lefty--- fiddler crabs have short life spans. He's not an emotional support animal or anything, so he mostly just livens up the nice part of the room."

*A thought spurred on by previous post:

And it only took me picking up drawing again and doing three attempts at a realistic drawing of my body to feel confident about my artistic abilities again. I guess I was so scared I wouldn't still "have it" but talent never goes away and if you aren't naturally talented (sorry to toot my own horn (I need some positive encouragement even if it's from myself, not many people really actually encourage me outside of friends and family and even then my own bff didn't even respond when I sent her my drawing WIP recently - like, actual conversation-stopper and radio silence for three days even after I confronted her about it - so I really do need to be my own biggest fan and keep going despite the crickets and tumbleweed reception I tend to receive. Just like I've always done. People only value working yourself into burnout these days rather than cultivating skills and passions) but honestly despite all my endless struggles in life and personal/social deficiencies, art and creativity is like one of the few departments I was actually lucky in, and I'm one of those "annoying" gifted artists who it kinda comes naturally to. My actual final art style and composition etc is subjective to the viewer of course, but what I mean is I seem to pick up most techniques naturally, even though for starters I had to teach myself how to hold a pencil because the right-handed teachers didn't know how to teach lefties so just ignored me like "idk figure it out 🤷‍♀️" 💀 I've basically been having to teach myself nearly everything I've learnt my whole life especially with the learning disability of undiagnosed autism growing up in the 2000s (a hugely ableist and problematic time in far too recent memory - there wasn't even any pushback against the use of autistic as a slur/insult, and being undiagnosed or "late-diagnosed" wasn't really a thing yet - instead you were just a weirdo not to be interacted with except to abuse, for fear of being tainted oneself with the Weird brush. Literally, I had no defence other than my twin sister who could have been a millionaire by now if she got a dollar for every peer that felt the need to come to her and tell her "your sister is weird". Times were brutal so please respect your elders the Millennials lol we went through a lot so that you or your children won't have to 🫂) with literally no support or acknowledgement for or ways to deal with it

That said, i still have suffered from artists' block and even destroying my art, vowing to never make art again due to delusions etc)

The *Tall poppy syndrome phenomenon is a very real problem here in New Zealand (even Google suggestions knows it) and in Australia. While not being the picture of success I am "gifted" I have experienced it a lot and it sucks. And have succeeded in being my own person to the bitter end(well, the present, nothing's ending yet for anlong time I hope), unapologetically me in a society of people trying their hardest to be perfect clones playing the part. I am a bit of a radical rebel like that and refuse to undermine myself to be anything but myself and it's amazing just how much people have just absolutely loathed it lol. Such is the life of many an artist I guess 🤷‍♀️ like, I'm sorry I'm good at a lot of things that mainstream society doesn't seem to consider worth anything cos I'm too disabled to work (only disabled enough to spontaneously ramble into the void for hours in a display of extreme disorganization (I started writing these posts at midday and didn't stop and now it's 1pm))

Like it sucks that the country collectively decided not to support people's achievements and instead be horrible to people for daring to be good at something.

A similar/the same notion is crab mentality/crabs in a bucket which is apparently a phrase popular among Filipinos and basically boils down to the thinking “if I can't have it, neither can you.”**

I think a lot of it stems from ignorance. It all results in people not being allowed to be proud of themselves or their family members for even the smallest of personal achievements. But I say be proud brave soul. Keep doing you cos the world needs more of it.

*"Tall poppy syndrome describes a cultural trait where successful individuals are resented, undermined or attacked to bring them back down. Crabs in buckets is a phrase that describes individuals undermining others who try to succeed. These negative cultural traits undermine performance and engagement."

**"Crab Mentality is derived from a pattern of behaviour observed in crabs when trapped in a bucket. Any time a crab attempts to escape, the other crabs will immediately pull it back down to their misery and the group's collective demise."

* Quora.com lol yes I'm quoting Quora deal with I'm tiredI did my best

** Chriamillas.com

Idk like my posts or send a message or something if you appreciate the rambling/resonate at all lol cos despite my radical self-love/acceptance sometimes I feel like the most annoying girl on Tumblr that everyone's vagueblogging/complaining about in the same tags I use (I have actually come across people talking about me I think but like who really knows what's just paranoia/anxiety or just that maybe people really are just mean) or bullying me on TikTok. I guess that's the perks of the internet tho huh. And I can't seem to access community mental health support these days apparently so I blog instead. Make the mental health system make sense please somebody people be out here begging for help only to be left until they reach crisis point (Ambulance at the Bottom of the Hill is a whole other post in itself, so let's not get into that and move onto getting this nap underway before the day advances any more)

Strange Symmetries #20: The 16 Million Year Fiddler Crab Rave

Many decapod crustaceans have slightly asymmetrical pincers, often with one claw being chunkier and specialized for "crushing" while the other is more slender and used for "cutting".

But fiddler crabs take this sort of asymmetry to the extreme as part of their sexual dimorphism – males have one massively oversized claw, which is used for both visual display to potential mates and for physical fights against rivals.

Some of the earliest fiddler crabs are known from the Miocene of what is now northern Brazil. Although the fossils have been given several different taxonomic names since their discovery in the 1970s (including Uca maracoani antiqua, Uca antiqua, and Uca inaciobritoi) they're currently considered to be indistinguishable from the modern Brazilian fiddler crab, Uca maracoani, meaning that these crabs have remained externally unchanged for the last 16 million years.

Up to about 4cm in carapace width (~1.6"), modern Uca maracoani are found in coastal mangrove swamps and tidal mudflats around the northern and eastern coasts of South America – and some of these environments have also undergone little change since the Miocene. Males of the species can develop their enlarged pincer on either side of their bodies, with lefties and righties seeming to occur in equal numbers.

Heyyyy I have a question :3

Do you have any headcanon/s for these character : Scraptrap, Scrap Baby, Lady Dimistrecu, the three daughter of Lady D, Heisenberg and/or Molten Freddy ? :3

You don't have to do all the proposition, you can choose what character you want to do :3

Have a good day/evening and stay safe ! :3

*Cracks knuckles* \(^v^)/

You already know I'm doing all of them! Thank you for the ask! Headcanons under the cut!

FNaF6

Scraptrap

He loves rice and would do anything to get his paws on it. Fortunately, the pizzeria is quite close to a Chinese restaurant so rice is easy to get.

He orders a rice-based menu at least three times a week, so the owners aren't at all that surprised to see a tuxedo-clad zombie-rabbit come in and ask for their signature fried rice with buttered lobster on the side.

Since he like to dine-in there, he usually asks Michael to give him a bath in exchange for pizzeria improvements. Michael usually shrugs and gives him a well-deserved bubble bath and his tuxedo.

He likes it when Michael gives him head pats and rubs. It makes him feel loved and appreciated.

He has a pet pigeon named Fernando Buschmann. It's German and likes to listen to the violin.

He likes ASMR and memes. ASMR makes him go feral with murderous intent while memes make him question the modern generation.

He has social media accounts, all named "Willton-Moldover". He usually posts cosplays and furry art on them and has 93 followers on his Reddit profile, 1.5 million followers on his Instagram, 550 followers on his Tumblr, 35 on his Snapchat, and 3.95 million on his TikTok.

He also has a YouTube channel with 10.784 million subscribers called "Willton-Gameover". He plays videogames one-handed and roasts popular YouTubers and famous people. He would never roast Keanu Reeves though, because Keanu Reeves is precious bean.

Due to his popularity he gets a lot of hate mail and private pics. He doesn't like them at all so he blackmails the people who post them. And if the media and police are involved? Well, he has a strong fanbase that's not going down as well as a good alibi so that works out well for him.

Yes, his fanbase also knows of the Fazbear Murders, and he admits to it but frankly, he's shown them the approving ghost kids (who've bonded and gamed with him) so that's no big deal. Only Cassidy hates him, but it's usually constipated anger.

He's bisexual and has an ENORMOUS crush on one of his favourite game characters, Karl Heisenberg. Something about that man reminds him of himself and Henry, although he's not sure what. Still, don't let that distract you from the fact that he owns a nude Karl Heisenberg body pillow, CAPCOM official.

Scrap Baby

Her favourite Monster High doll is Draculaura. She doesn't understand how pink goes well with black but oh boy, pink goes so well with black.

She knows how to skateboard like a pro. Despite her weight, her trusty skateboard still stands and, if she falls, she's always got her skates to spare. She likes to impress the boys at the skatepark with her ability to perform even the most difficult of moves with ease.

She's subscribed to fifteen different tabloid subscriptions. She likes to read them and criticize the stupidity of the human race, like her father. Hey, it's hereditary.

The lights in her boobies glow in the dark. They also glow whenever she gets tired.

She likes reading furniture and gardening catalogues. She's judgy of the prices though and usually becomes a full-on critic with Lefty listening.

She owns a crab named Mr. Tootie. No I will not elaborate on the name. I'll only tell you that it's taken a liking to kazoos and party favours.

She's listed as the No. 1 Best Fan of her father's social media accounts. Michael's in nineteenth place but don't worry, he's as emotionless as a mushroom.

She likes to make origami lotuses. She's such a pro at it that she's even got a mini-stall at the pizzeria: 1 lotus for 50 cents. It's a lucrative business, and it's still growing. Oh, and she switches to other origami works of art every week such as origami guns and origami nine-tailed foxes.

She's the Restaurant Rescue manager. Usually she saves kids from trouble. For this reason, yes, she's commonly seen in the pizzeria itself. Kids love her though the claw worries the more irksome parents.

She's a professional Karen dealer. Karen comes to see the manager? She's hypnotically talented in weaving her words through the toughest of craniums so don't be surprised if a Karen walks out with a new viewpoint of life.

She performs on stage on the occasion, which usually gets her a lot of fan love. She cherishes everything good they give but ignores the problematic everythings. Problematic stuff? Oh, she's good friends with the police chief.

Molten Freddy

He loves noodles. Give him a bowl of ramen and he'll shut up for the entire night. Enter him in a noodle-eating competition and his high metabolism rate means absolutely non-stop spaghetti.

He misses Bon-Bon very much. To the point where he's even tried to make a scrap version of him. Sadly, it doesn't work. He cried that day.

He dies inside whenever he finds out there's a spaghetti shortage in Utah. Poor Molten.

He's a bit wonky, but if he tries to play with you or get into your personal space, don't get mad at him! He's just lonely and wants someone to talk to and play with.

He likes to play Exploding Kittens. It's the only card game he's good at. It's also the only card game he owns.

He sees Helpy as a little brother and boops his nose on a daily basis. He also likes to reenact The Lion King with him (It's the ciiiiiircle of liiiiiife~). Hopefully Helpy doesn't mind.

He knows a lot of jokes in a lot of languages. So German-speaking Molten Freddy wouldn't be too far away from expectation. His favourite jokes are in French though; the wordplay is just immaculate.

He's good in French, English, German, Russian, and Malay. He's currently learning Japanese because he's a mega weeb.

His favourite cartoon is Charlie and Lola. He just likes to see the sibling shenanigans as it somehow reminds him of the good old days.

His favourite shows would be prankster shows. He especially loves the ones that give him new and creative ideas. He doesn't like the scary ones though. They make him feel unsafe and give him anxiety.

Surprisingly, he has a distinct taste for opera. He can modulate the remnants of his voice box to perfectly sing I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General. This both pisses off and impresses Henry to an extent.

Resident Evil 8

Lady Dimitrescu

She might act like the opposite but she really loves Heisenberg as her little brother. His determination, strength, speed, dexterity, and workaholic nature impresses her, who can't even fit through a doorway. She sometimes wishes she's as short as him too.

She's an avid collector of glass, porcelain, and anything fragile. It's a good reason to always be careful where you tread in her lair. She'll make you swallow every last shard if you don't.

She's an avid romance fanatic and is very loving towards the romance novels she owns. All those books you see in the in-game library? They're her collection of lesbian romances that she's collected over the past decades.

She doesn't like hats and prefers to stick to the one she wears in-game. She DOES have a collection of hats though. Last anyone counted, there were over fifty, one or two for each decade she's lived through.

She files her nails on a constant basis and owns an ornately decorated nail-clipper. Hygeine is of the utmost importance. She doesn't want to be compared to that filthy Heisenberg.

Despite her size and carefulness she keeps losing her stuff. Over the course of a week she could misplace three wine glasses, two reading glasses, and fifteen bottles of wine.

She's an expert at dodgeball and golf and even owns a lifetime access to the most prolific Country Club in Romania. With permission from Mother Miranda she goes there every year for the yearly party. It's one of the times she gets to see modernity (and Ed Sheeran) at its finest.

She loves bands from the 1920s and 1940s. However, she gets bored of them occasionally and switches them to something more modern, like Ed Sheeran. Seriously though, what is up with mums and Ed?

She's into executions and torture methods. So it's no surprise that she's a HUGE fan of Horrible Histories; even if she can't watch the show, she'll binge-read the books over and over again. She's even had the chance to encounter (and receive an autograph from) Terry Deary. They have sworn a bond not to tell anybody about this.

She loves exotic animals like anacondas and jaguars. She may or may not have owned a 10ft long Saltwater Crocodile (which was also about 5ft wide).

She's an incredible physicist and mathematician. She's also created many original formulae but unsurprisingly, she doesn't tell anyone about them, for fear that either more people may know of her, or that she may be wrong.

Dimitrescu Babes

They can devour an entire human being in mere seconds as flies. It's sort of like the scarab beetles in The Mummy movies. However, unlike the beetles, they are able to strip the bones as well. They leave nothing behind.

They all know how to play the piano with varying levels of success. Daniela can already play professionally while Bela is still stuck on Grade 5.

They love to listen to their mother when she tells them stories. Gotta hand it to 'em, when you're a fly, you know how to enjoy life in its most simple of moments.

They all love being around the hunky Soldats of Uncle Karl. Fortunately, they don't know of the rebellious plan to conquer Miranda.

Bela is bisexual, Cassandra is asexual and pansexual, and Daniela is demisexual.

It gets hard when you're a fly during the summer. If it's not the lizards, spiders, and other predators, it's the heat. Because of this, despite the material waste, they have invented the world's first blood-powered air conditioner.

The three girls have never ever ever touched a stove or oven in their life. They HAVE touched the hot end of an iron though. A good reason to not touch a bloody oven. Alcina has though, but doesn't tell them that.

They love puppies! Uncle Karl brought them a baby labrador. For the rest of the week Alcina had lost quite a bit of favour from them. Not that they minded of course. IT'S A PUPPY.

They don't like snow one bit. Not just because it's cold, but because it's too white. Too bright. Too shiny. They just can't focus on their prey!

They like to go over to Auntie Donna to play with Angie. Well, you know what they say, crazies attract the crazies, and the crazy has attracted the crazies.

They also like to go to Uncle Moreau's because he's the only one in the village with a PS4. Usually they'd spend about three-quarters of a day playing his games and eating his cheese.

Karl Heisenberg

He owns a dark blue armchair named Junkyard. Despite the name, he loves it dearly because it was a gift from Alcina for his twenty-first birthday. It became part of his final transformation too. Right under the hat.

He's a little blind in the right eye, much to his annoyance. It was a minor accident with Sturm; another reason for him to hate the uncontrollable wretch. He'll never live that day down.

Somehow, he sees better in the dark, which is why he wears such tinted glasses. He also wears them to hide his expressions, since, more often than not, he tends to end up wearing his heart on his sleeve, and his emotions in his eyes.

He's under a lot of pressure so it's no surprise that he breaks down in his factory when he knows he's alone. And by break down I mean crumple into an exhausted heap on the floor. Not even his Soldat Jet squad can wake him up until he's had a reasonable eight hours of rest.

He bathes once a day, every evening, but only three times a week. Perfume, tobacco, and cologne keep care of the rest.

He's the only Lord with a daily contact with the outside world due to his electrical abilities. Don't tell Miranda, but he can electrically CONNECT TO GOOGLE AND THE ENTIRE INTERNET IN GENERAL. He likes to play funny YouTube cat videos in his head when Miranda's having a boring meeting. It's also how he finds out that Chris is a boulder-punching asshole.

He does stimming! He likes to tap his fingers on his desk and the metal rails in his factory. He also buys stim toys from the Duke and keeps them in a well-kept box. His favourite is a non-ripping squishable toy duck. He also sings to chill out.

He's absolutely in the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, and may have once believed in the pizzeria's existence. Come on, he's a mutated Overlord with magical magnet powers. Children souls stuck inside animatronics isn't too far-fetched of an idea. His favourite characters are the Funtimes and the Scraps, mainly because of the blueprint complexity. He HAS tried to replicate the animatronics in his spare time, but he's usually too busy with his Soldats so the project gets scrapped. He loves The Living Tombstone's songs and remixes though.

He doesn't like William Afton at all (though he marvels at his survivability). William's nature and habits remind him of Mother Miranda. He DOES however enjoy Michael Afton and often thinks how it would be absolutely amazing to have that resilient being in his Soldat army.

He's scared of what lurks below the watery depths and fire. Ironic because his brother is a literal fish and he works in one of the most hazardous fire-conducting environments. He's also scared of heights, though he doesn't get airsick.

He once died due to a killing electric shock whilst working on Sturm. It's the only time he's felt that sort of pulsing agony and also the first time he's had the confirmation that yes, Hell is real and yes, he'll end up in quite a dark pit in it. Or it could've been an electric dream, who knows? Anyways his soul apparently ran towards the opposite direction of the flames and he woke up alive after the passing of FIVE ENTIRE WEEKS. Oh boy did Alcina get worried when she couldn't find him.

Thank you for the ask! I hope you enjoy!

[mysteriousdoll]

why twocrow makes sense, an 'essay' by me

literally one person asked for this (that being the wonderful @void-ghost ) and i aim to please.

gonna add a read more because this will be long

Firstly, speaking in general: Both characters have pasts riddled with abuse and similar trauma (to a degree, of course). So, I'd find it reasonable to believe they'd be able to confide in one another beyond it just being a patient-doctor relationship. Harvey's genuine kindness would be foreign to Jon, but something he'd be open to, and Jon's patient and understanding nature will offer Harvey someone he knows he can confide in.

But, yknow, relationships aren't all just deep confiding in one another and all that jazz.... I mean, both characters are canonically shown to be very intelligent (you don't get to being the youngest D.A. without being a least a little smart), and I don't think it's too crazy to imagine they'd bond over things such as books, an evening inside just with one another, the spoiling of pets, etc.

Might I also mention Jon acting as a good comrade for Two Face/BBH? @jonathan-cranes-mistress-of-fear recently made a post highlighting just how great of a strategic combo they could make, and with that--I imagine someone as impatient as BBH would have to get along with someone he's going to be working with often. Call it wishful thinking, but I also think BBH would bring out the fun in Jon, knowing he never really got to experience fun as a child. Whether it be breaking things purely for destruction's sake, or just playing video games because "Oh my god, Jon, what do you mean 'what's Sonic'? Forget the toxin, we're playing every Sonic game."

Now for the boring part--things specifically from my au that I kinda just wanna mention for the hell of it

Harvey's really into mystery novels, while Jon loves adventure novels (like Indiana Jones, to be specific). So . . . their first date was at a bookstore where they spent a large some of weapons trade profit on books. When neither can find something to read (although its rare for Jon), they'll trade whatever they last read with one another.

Jon actually once wrote his own book! It was a long horror novel that got published thanks to a contest--since he was young at the time he used an alias, but Harvey found out about this and proceeded to ask hundreds of questions about it, eventually convincing Jon to give him the title so he could read it.

Dear lord, these two have so many pets. Harvey (and BBH) has a cat, a crab, two huge dogs, and a rabbit (although it's technically his daughter's). Jon . . . has a tarantula, two cats (one of whom is a rescue show cat), three huge dogs, a horse, and a murder of crows. All of these pets have names--obviously--including each and every crow. While Harvey has pretty normal names (aside from Lefty the crab), Jon's pet names are . . . interesting. For example: most if not all his crows are named after whatever they first come home with.

Both have a lot of scars, and while Harvey's come to be less ashamed of his, Jon's got a few (the ones on his chest and arm from,,dying) that he doesn't care for looking at. As such, Harvey kisses those scars any chance he gets. Coincidentally, Jon tends to keep a hug around Harvey's arm, so he's usually right by his side, that side always being the burnt one.

Jon can't handle kisses at all--he gets flustered very easily. Harv(ey) happily takes advantage of this because it's important Jon gets the affection he's missed out on for years.

Okay this last one is wayyy more AU specific, but I'm on a roll anyways: Jon helped a lot when it came to Harvey getting Lucille. Having been one of her doctors and the go-to child psychologist, he was able to make a pretty solid argument as to why Harvey'd make a good father for her--and how she could benefit him. Harvey's referred to this helping as Jon being sweet, but Jon has denied that he, the infamous and feared-by-all Scarecrow, could never be sweet, and to even suggest he's sweet.

[multiversal-pudding]

Some headcanons about anyone from AHIT? Especially Hat Kid and Bow and anyone from the Subcon forest? Maybe even some early Snatcher or Prince and Vanessa headcanons? Pretty please with whipped cream and sprinkles and whatever else makes multiuniverse pudding taste tasty?

BY THE MIGHT OF THE PUDDING

Hat kid

Hat has always had a deep interest in technology and engineering

Hat Kid has ADHD

Hat sometimes makes “Nyoom” noises when steering the ship

Bow kid

Out of the two, Bow is actually the more arty kid

Bow likes making scarves, sweaters, and the like where Hat usually just sticks to hats (although Hat has mastered the tophat in a way Bow can never seem to manage)

GLITTER. EVERYWHERE

Hat and Bow have a sisterly relationship

[bonus] Mustache girl

Her favorite animal is the mighty crab (BUILT LIKE A TANK)

She’s significantly dorkier than what’s shown in game- years of trauma and loneliness have caused her to put up an angry, violent front

Master pickpocket

Snatcher

Has a hard time keeping a physical form- part of why he never sleeps is because when they do they lose focus and dissipate into a cloud of darkness, which is generally unpleasant

Likes having a tail- it’s like a third arm, much more useful than legs when you can fly

Taught himself to be ambidextrous, but still favors left hand

Can write with their tail, albeit sloppily

The Prince

Lefty

A bit mischevious in a lawful “the rules said” kind of way

Constantly smiles, even when he’s sad. Especially when he’s sad

Used to have long hair before the dye incident- it didn’t have time to grow back all the way before...

Queen Vanessa

The manor is a part of the entity we consider the current Vanessa. She’s able to control and warp the place at will. Be glad she wasn’t more clear of mind when you came through, because otherwise you probably wouldn’t have made it out.

The only thing keeping her in her manor is the belief someday her prince will return there. If she found out Snatcher was her prince... well, he has a pretty good reason not to let people find out

Snatcher and Vanessa

Nobody (including Vanessa and Snatcher) know it, but Vanessa can’t truly be killed as long as the Prince’s spirit still exists. Likewise, Snatcher can’t be truly killed while there are still villagers to protect, spirit or not. That said, both can be temporarily dispersed for months if not years, and doing so will come with a severe drop in power (plus it’s a pretty unpleasant and traumatizing experience). Since Snatcher isn’t exactly going to let himself be killed and Vanessa is... y’know, this is probably going to stay unknown for a long time.

Ghosts of Vanessa and Snatcher’s calibre could be permanently exorcized, but trying it would pretty much be a death sentence except under some pretty weird circumstances
