Ahhhhh, I need Byler content.

I hate that that's the only thing I'm posting nowadays, but that's literally the only coherent thought in my mind.

I have passed away (jk I'm alive, but my motivation to do anything productive has passed away)

Hey… so uh… Alux witnessing his mother die in front of him, anyone?

Aha. So um. I inexplicably went missing on tumblr...

Why? I tried deleting an experimental side blog I didn't need/want, and because I don't know how tumblr works, I had actually deleted my main account (Note to self, never venture off into the account settings, WITHOUT CHECKING WHICH BLOG IM ON) I was devastated about it, but, it may have been a good thing for me, question mark? I had been embroiled in toxic queer discourse (aphobia sucks), and it took a toll on my mental well-being. So I took this unfortunate deletion of my work as a sign to relax a bit, despite the pit of panic that formed when this happened. Luckily, I'm better! (again >_>) and I still love Alux Rising, so here I am, making my grand return! back at it again with more way too long character analysis!

I would've posted about my abrupt leaving of tumblr sooner as I was eager to explain everything, but then AR 14 dropped soooooooooooo

Okay. Ar 14. Just made me incredibly happy. A major thing that had been missing for me was actual depictions of Alux as a child. He goes on about how his childhood was rough, but we never actually got to see such. Only the aftermath of such childhood with his relationship to Elric.

Now that we've seen it,

Oh God. It explains, a lot. I always thought Alux acted weird, so much so that I started to theorize that he was *actually* autistic/ASD (More Asperger's Syndrome but that term is no longer used)

But now…

I still hold firm in my Autistic Aro Alux Headcanon, but now his “lack of character” makes more sense to me.

It's made out that Alux's lack of character was prominent in his childhood, as his mother says that one day, he'll learn to like whatever he likes, and he'll be his own person, inferring that he doesn't understand that yet as a child. That's really intriguing to me. Apparently, his blandness was apparent in his childhood, and now in his adulthood. And it seems that the only thing he fully knows how to do, is to help people. If this lack of uniqueness to his character was in his childhood, then maybe the fact that Alux is bland is a defining character trait for him. One that will be overridden by this developing story of Alux rising. (Aha! Character development!)

Now, in relation to Alux and his parents.

It seems like he followed his mom more than his dad. That's why he brings her up in his and Elric's argument, and why he says “I like what you like!” and “I want to be just like you” To her in the memory.

And upon further rewatching, my heart just broke.

In the memory, Alux's mom says “But remember to be the best version of yourself, and to treat others how you want to be treated.”

How does Alux treat others currently? *He constantly helps them. protecting them, making sure they're OK.*

*sigh*...

Ok.

I'm really glad that we got this flash back. It actually helps put some character into Alux (even if it being trauma) and his lack of reaction to a lot of things makes much more sense. Even after the whole flashback, his lack of talking about the memory for why he had such a strong reaction feels very realistic considering the circumstances.

Another thing I realized, when Alux snaps out of it, the surrounding magic of green crystals is the orchids. I'm crying.

It most definitely seems like witnessing his mother's death stunted Alux's mental development to a degree, mostly in the sense that he doesn't fully know who he is, what he wants, or what he likes with what seemed to be his only supporting figure in his life now gone. If he still had his mother, maybe he would've turned out differently. (Wow shocker, I know.)

And honestly, we all knew Alux was traumatized, but I did not expect it to be to THIS extent. I just thought his mom died of an illness, and he wasn't there to see it but she was gone.

I was. SO WRONG.

Dead wrong. One could say.

Like Alux's mom- *cough*

anyways- yea Alux's nickname should definitely be Horny, Professor Red- oops, sorry *GEARS* comes up with the best nicknames, in fact he should become president and deliver every presidential speech in his rhyming scheme.

Oh and James is not dead,

Apparently.

the early days of the Prison Arc were so interesting on the side of the fandom. nobody expected that c!Dream would get out with his mind intact, if at all - the fics and aus always wrote him as being eventually broken by the loneliness, left to rot until there was nothing left of him, or wrote him as being eventually taken out by c!Sam himself when he saw just how badly the whole thing messed with c!Dream's head, given how incredibly lonely he was even before the staged finale. then c!Sam mentioned he wasn't too kind to his prisoner, and the stories took a darker turn, the denial of food, maybe a bit of violence, but no one dared say that the canon would ever turn into actual torture. that was delegated to fandom and the most extreme of the whump authors. but then March 16th rolled around and it got so dark so incredibly fast to an extent no one would have predicted. and it was a great fucking time for everyone

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

i've been trying to come out with between one and three posts a week, but i'm not sure if i'll be able to continue that pattern for a little while - work and life have me really burned out.

feel free to tag me in any fics, gifsets, art, etc, that don't spoil beyond 5x16, and i'd absolutely love to check it out! and for those who are familiar: is there a specific/conventional AO3 tag for "no spoilers past *insert episode or season here*"? because i'd love to dive into that

or go ahead and send in asks! i have anons off, but i can put them back on for a bit if anyone is interested and there are no hate blogs on the loose

but yeah, i might need a little time away from the writeups <3

i've gotta laugh at the possibility of me leaving the gay porn gacha fandom, i'm trapped here forever. it's in my blood now.

i mainly just created a sideblog bc beloved though this media is, i cannot recommend it to people. aaaand also my main is ridiculously cluttered and barely even fandom related, so all of my hyperfixations have neat little sideblogs so that i can keep everything relatively organized.

also. i am VERY excited for the upcoming event!!! i'm saving up for my precious! i almost got spoiled on the outfit but i scrolled away in the nick of time!!

sincerely, @blades-precious-darling

takes a weary crunch out of my candy cigar (very full of honey). it's been over 900 days. i am still here. i'm supposed to have commitment issues. have i ever been in a fandom for this long?!

i think necromancer diloreq said it best... where,, even though i'm obsessed with this game, i cannot in my.. proper?judgement? conscience?? refer it to other ppl. at least not en masse. it's a gay porn gacha LOL

i'll have to bring it up only to people i know will not lose their life savings to whaledom, whose specific interests match the nuca profile, AND who aren't someHoW ALReAdy playing it???!
