#like a feedback loop

Reason #48234872 Kiibo should've lived: so Maki can have someone to recreate a normal human adolescence with while Himiko and Shuichi go into a state of depressed hibernation for the next half decade...

Honestly I never even thought of this pairing until I started drawing this months ago, but I think they would have an interesting dynamic postcanon. It's hard for them to relate to each other at first — Maki has seen way too much and Kiibo has seen like 0 things in his life ever — but they've both been dehumanized, made to believe they're dangerous,* and barred from participating in "the real world" for most of their lives. And because of that they just want something that is, to use Maki's words, "as vanilla as possible."

Also, they're both autistic straight men and I want to see the hijinks that ensue when you put two of those in the same room.

*Obviously we see Maki being viewed as dangerous by herself and others; I can't even tell anymore if it's obvious that Kiibo shares that experience to some degree or if I'm just too deep in my own Kiibo lore... But here's 2 thoughts on why I think that's something they canonically share:

They both hurt someone close to them in their backstories, and that weighs on them enough that both of their Harmonious Heart events are about wondering if that person would hold it against them. Also for reasons I won't elaborate on here, I'm pretty sure Kiibo at least subconsciously views himself as a danger to others due to the environment he grew up in after Iidabashi was injured. I mean imagine having an emergency stop button permanently installed on your body "just in case."

Despite everyone's backstories being fictional, Kiibo and Maki have still killed one real person each --- Kiibo killed Tsumugi (and endangered everyone else), and Maki effectively killed Kokichi/Kaito ('effectively' just as in it could create the kind of "I killed a guy" guilt that is relevant to this discussion. I'm not going to even comment on the actual causality of that entire situation). Even if you don't count that, Kiibo being the only person with a body count is an interesting reversal given he's a pacifist and seems to have the most rigid moral code of the cast (something I also think was a precaution of sorts).

I need codependent Danny/Jason as a little treat (for me) and I love the idea of them having some sort of instant connection the moment they meet (bc ghost stuff idk)

Danny who's been dropped in Gotham with no way home (alt universe??) and he's been here for 36 hours and having a Very bad time senses a liminal being and immediately latches onto them heedless of the fact that his new best friend is shooting at some seedy guys in an alley and goes off about how stressed he is and how he can't make it back to the ghost zone and what a bad day he's been having (and it's important to note Danny is a littol ghost boy literally hanging off of Jason's neck as he floats aimlessly) and Jason is like "who are you??" And Danny is like "oh sorry I'm Danny lol" and then just continues lamenting his woes

And honestly ? This might as well happen. Nothing about this Danny guy(is he human?) gives Jason a bad vibe and tbh he's never felt more calm and level headed before so he just keeps up his usual Red Hood patrol and doesn't even think about it when he heads back to a safehouse and feeds Danny dinner (breakfast) before crashing for half the day

The only thing I actually need is Jason meeting up with the bats for some sort of Intel meeting and they're like "uhhh who's that" and Jason is like "that's Danny." And does not elaborate (very ".... What do you have there?" "A smoothie" vibes)

And it takes them a while to realize that these two have known each other for less than 12 hours and are literally attached at the hip

I feel chronically ill post-canon Siffrin would go one of two ways at first:

1. They try to ignore the pain for as long as possible and end up overexerting themselves to the point of getting hurt, or

2. He DOES attempt to rest, but feels so catastrophically guilty about it and spirals so hard that there's barely any actual rest happening and he's just perpetually exhausted bedrotting at that point

Mairuma continuing to impress in how siblings are written. Of course Clara, who at the start of the series didn't think twice about axes being an appropriate play item to use with her schoolmates, has a brother close to her own age who is ecstatic about almost being actually murdered by his teacher. From here I can only conclude that the highlight of Urara's early childhood was being chased around by a Clara weilding a meat tenderizer. All the pieces fit together perfectly; no notes.

Update: Since y'all have liked the tags they are getting added as full text:

I was actually wondering for a good while how "books that try to chomp on you" fit in with Clara being a good big sis #and how there wasn't really signs of her playing dangerous games with her other younger siblings #but like yeah a sibling close in age to you being weird in way that compliments your style of being weird #absolutely does cause you both to become even more weird both together & separately #source: I have siblings #but yeah Clara "fun aficionado" Valac's standards were absolutely warped by Urara "I HAVE A GREAT PLAN" Valac #Urara loves being in danger so swinging heavy objects at him is okay because that's how he has the most fun! #wydm being jabbed at with a sharp objects isn't fun? u-chan is a stick in the mud & even he loves being relentlessly attacked w stabby stick #early Clara not knowing what a "boundary" or "reasonable limit" is both a cause & effect of Urara being such a thrill seeker #oopsie daisy they got caught in a feedback loop and now they're both extra weird

Hey Laurent, Maybe it was all of you NOT being open about anything that put him under intense mental and emotional pressure for one of the most physical weekends on the calendar? And maybe, it was the way that allowed every so-called reporter in the paddock to say the nastiest shit to his face and call it journalism.

this is gonna be such a bog standard joelguy post but anyone ever think about how so many of joels recent-ish duos are so. snappy. comparing him to fire is overdone but whenever he's with someone they legitimately do just get on like a house on fire. every dynamic he's in they're always just biting at each other. pearl iskall gem etho shane fwhip even sausage to an extent. not to mention jimmy oli lizzie and scott. what is his Deal

[askexecutiveproton]

(can't find any indication if the ask was open or not so i'm sorry if it isn't!) Thank you for doing a service. Please I would just like to give this man a smooch and tell him he does a good job

(Absolutely in love with how you draw Proton and Steven 😭🩷)

Thank you so much!!! I always keep Proton's box open, but you can probably see my activity has been poor since between my career and working on my master's degree, I haven't had much time or energy to put into the blogs. But sometimes I get the urge to draw the Worst Guy Ever, so Proton will always accept questions!

The funny thing about how powerful Beyong the eight ball! Vox is is that Alastor is technically still way more powerful cause without radiowaves, none of his shit can work. I feel like if Alastor really wanted to he could shut down all of the city for a moment just to fuck with Vox's head more than he has already like, Meet your match Vox, meet your match

Vox definitely wasn't expecting to feel a signal as powerful as Alastor's. Just the fact that it was able to reach out and connect with his network came like an electric shock. Imagine someone reaching into your body and physically touching one of your nerves, out of nowhere, on a boring, random Tuesday, and then disappearing in thin air.

He is shook.

Vox's power is centered in electricity and technology, but he still relies on radiowaves for his content. Alastor's power is centered in the radiowaves themselves, but his power works through technology. No matter where these two go, or what universe they're in, they'll always be connected to each other on the basis that their powers are constantly feeding back into each other.

And that's the beauty of StaticRadio.

bellanda and laudanda are both so alike to each other in personality and they both fucking hate it so much. it endlessly irritates both of them to see any comparison to themselves in the other and this endlessly fuels just how much they hate each other overall.

[coldboysconfessions]

I've been turned down repeatedly from fan projects and to be honest it's kind of making me pull away from this fandom, I know it's not anyone's fault that this has been happening to me and the people that manage the applications are just looking for the best art, but it's a hard thing to deal with especially when you don't feel like your work is good enough, or people only care about other artists with more followers, that sort of thing. I can barely bring myself to draw fanart because of it and I feel dumb and petty for letting it get to me

I feel you🫂🫂

what is the biggest type of dragon in your dragonrider setting? conversely, are there any that are too small to ride that might serve other purposes? i'm interested in the extremes.

also, how intelligent are they?

they get pretty big. i haven't fully ironed out the size classes but pictured here is a matriarch (gold dragon analogue) being escorted by a much smaller class (foreground) as they fly over a river valley. the matriarch acts as a mobile radio tower/traffic controller for her brood (as does the crew on-board). with extreme high aspect ratio wings and six jet runes her flight is almost effortless.

i haven't decided about the smallest ones just yet because i'll be so real i did not care for fire lizards in pern and preferred to think more about the dragon & rider dynamic. i'd say the smallest is like what you see pictured here in the fg.

they are extremely intelligent; the ability to harness electromagnetic waves and the jet runes themselves are all draconic in origin, and these technologies were shared with humans, who could replicate them using their own manufacturing expertise. i guess it might be easier to think of the humans as the dragons' kobolds lol - fun little guys who enrich the dragons' lives and contribute their own expertise (medical techniques, materials technology, agriculture and so on). it is a symbiotic relationship, the dragons are given equal representation in governing decisions etc

i want to fall in love in a way that always gives me something positive to think of like i want to love someone so much that i know i can send my thoughts in their direction to calm myself down and get away from everything else for a bit i don’t know i guess i just want something good to think about

[sainteclectic]

oh and btw. petre thymos burrows into heart's bed. it's a massive pile of pillows and blankets, and thymos likes to bury itself into them for warmth and safety. heart finds it there one day while trying to nap and it thinks he's going to be mad, but instead he makes thymos its own little nest in the room. inside a big dog crate, so it feels extra protected. heart knows what it's like to want to hide away from the world, and sometimes when heart is really depressed they nap in there together :-)

Hhhh just started thinking about. Donnie being terrified to sign again. Maybe they don’t notice its absence at first, since he doesn’t like talking in general. But then he gets sick or something and losing his voice, and instead of having that easy convenience, Donnie freaks out every time they try to ask him something because he knows using sign isn’t good enough.

HNGGHGHHHHH i could also see a trend of him trying to talk through verbal shutdowns and just hurting himself more, because signing is just associated with the abuse for him now. and the whole thing with being told to use his words is going to seriously influence the way that he communicates. he's kind of lost sight of the fact that they're usually pretty good at reading his nonverbal cues/mannerisms (and they'll become a lot better at it now that theyre adjusting because theyre going to be hyper-aware of his feelings, they'll be super vigilant) because his first instinct to protect himself is to stammer out an explanation, even if he really doesnt need to.

i think he'll really struggle to be concise because any slightly pointed question about where he was or what he was doing is going to make him freak out and feel like he has to cover all his bases. the fact that they're going to have some separation anxiety with him isn't going to help, if they dont know where he is they're not going to react in a levelheaded fashion and that just sounds like itd start a feedback loop of panic LMAO
