Is it just me or is there way less fanart being made for this game than the previous ones? Kind of makes me sad, I remember with dai I could check the tags every few hours and find something new weeks after launch, now I only can get away with only looking a few times and week and miss nothing.
I don't think that's Veilguard exclusive.
Things I and my mutuals draw now are getting less notes/reblogs than they did even one year ago, regardless of the fandom. Fanfiction is getting less comments and kudos on ao3 too (not that they were getting many comments in the first place) Less gifs are being made because gif makers weren't getting reblogs. Hell, most of the post I make have a huge discrepancy between likes and reblogs and add polls into that? A thousand people voted on something and only a dozen people reblog it. It's a hollowing feeling when you realise you're calling out to an empty void, I don't blame people for creating less art because of that.
I don't see a vast majority of the people who follow me in my notes because I have likes disabled. Multiple times someone has sent me an ask apologizing for spamming me with likes and I don't understand it? That is not a bad thing And unless you reblogged anything along the way, I didn't even realise you were doing it in the first place. And the people whose notes I do see are not annoying in the slightest, I love the tags you add and I'm sure the original poster does even more so
I'm not trying to shame anyone Into interacting with the fandom spaces they're in but the whole point of Tumblr and what makes it a blogging platform and not social media is that this is a show and tell website. You're supposed to look at something you think is cool and then wave it around for your followers to see and then they pick it up and do the same regardless of how old it is
When you reblog an ask game from someone it used to be common courtesy to send that person one of the asks from it. Folks used to leave comments analysing paragraphs from stories people wrote and theorising about what would happen next on every chapter. We used to send each other asks just asking about our ocs unprompted
If there's no interaction or community when you create something, then what's the point of creating it? It sucks that fandom is morphing into something to be consumed and thrown away the second it's more than a week old unless you're one of a handful of blogs that got lucky and picked up traction at just the right moment
I'm sorry for the rant but I get emotional when I think about the decay of fandom spaces for too long. And this goes without saying, but you guys can reblog anything on my dash if the button isn't disabled on it
#ugh screw it#i'm putting this in main tags#veilguard#dragon age#ao3#honestly I'm losing motivation to post anything that takes me longer than 5 minutes to make#the amount of times I've seen somebody say they dont want to post their art here anymore because no one interacts with them is heartbreakin#and I'm one of those people unfortunately#I don't want to pull in woe is me card but it hurts seeing something I spent 12 hours on be completely ignored versus-#-a screenshot with a tweet imposed on a pic of varric I made while heating a hot pocket getting 15 times the acknowledgement#and yes I know I'm not the best artist/writer but damn if a little encouragement doesn't go a long way#one person encouraged me to keep posting stuff the other day and they're the only reason I have#If you read this go into a dragon age tag and reblog somebody's art that has less than 100 notes-#-and mention something you like about it in the tags#and me posting fan fiction as a whole thing here? Forget about it#I'm the funny guy!! I get it! I Get it!#This makes me so scared for compathian skies but that's a whole other basket we don't need to look inside#Again sorry for rambling#Take this post for example! it will have a one to five ratio on likes to reblogs if it gets reblogged at all#fandom spaces are dying and we are all actively killing them together#asks for bee

pride flag- Gemimi
pink space ferret thing- VV
they find random garbage floating in space and be silly. Also they might be in a polycule I dunno
#non fandom things#little alien dudes#they are named after space stuff (forgot where I looked them up oops) but misspelled cause they can't read well#I blame my friend for making me thing of these dudes by adding an alien prompt to our scribble io game like 5 times#uhmm I think that's all uh obligatory if you liked it then reblog it or share it around

⁎˚ ఎ Arcane Agere ໒ ˚⁎
I was wondering if i could request cg!Viktor (arcane) headcanons?
•Viktor, despite his frail health, is fiercely protective of those he cares about. His sharp mind and relentless drive make him a formidable force, particularly when he sees someone he loves in danger. He might not be able to physically shield them, but he would use every ounce of his intellect and resourcefulness to ensure their safety—designing gadgets, traps, or even new forms of Hextech protection
•Given his background in science and his own health struggles, Viktor would have a deep knowledge of medicine and anatomy. He would be the type to carefully monitor the health of those he cares about, ensuring they have access to the best treatments and technology. His workshop likely contains various medical devices he’s created, tailored to specific needs, especially for anyone who has chronic conditions or injuries
•Viktor would go out of his way to tailor his care to the individual. Whether it’s designing a specific Hextech tool that helps with a unique challenge or creating a comfortable environment for someone recovering from an illness, Viktor's approach to caregiving is highly personalized. He believes that technology should be used to enhance quality of life, and he applies this philosophy to those he loves
•Viktor, despite his intense focus on his work, is incredibly gentle with those he cares about. He understands the value of emotional support and knows that sometimes, what someone needs most is encouragement. He’d take time to listen to their concerns and offer thoughtful advice, always from a place of understanding and empathy. Even in his darkest moments, he’d try to be a source of light for those he loves
•Viktor tends to put others before himself, often neglecting his own health and well-being. If someone he cares about is in need, he’d push himself to the brink to help them, even if it means exacerbating his own condition. This self-sacrificial tendency might worry those close to him, but Viktor sees it as a necessary burden—something he must do to protect those who matter to him
•Viktor would use his inventive genius to create small, thoughtful devices to ease the burdens of daily life for those he loves. For example, if someone struggles with anxiety, he might design a small, handheld device that emits soothing sounds or lights. For someone who works late into the night, he’d craft a lamp with adjustable light levels to reduce eye strain. These little inventions are Viktor's way of showing he cares
•Viktor understands the power of presence. Sometimes, he knows that words aren’t necessary, and he’ll simply sit with someone in comfortable silence. Whether it’s in his workshop or a quiet corner of Zaun, Viktor offers his company as a balm, understanding that his presence alone can be a source of comfort
•Viktor values intellect and curiosity, and he would encourage those he cares about to pursue their own passions and interests. He’d be the type to share books, discuss theories, or even mentor someone in the finer points of science and technology. Viktor sees knowledge as a gift, and he’d be generous in sharing it with those close to him
•He would likely keep detailed records of the health and well-being of those he cares about. He’d have files on their medical history, notes on their preferences, and even journals documenting their emotional states over time. While this might seem clinical, it’s Viktor’s way of ensuring he can provide the best care possible—by being as informed as he can be
•Viktor’s love and care are often shown in quiet, almost unnoticed ways. He might not be openly affectionate, but his actions speak volumes. Whether it’s fixing something before the other person even realizes it’s broken, or leaving little gifts of technology that make life easier, Viktor’s care is subtle but deeply felt
•Viktor has a special routine for putting themnto bed. Every night, he reads them a story from his collection of old Zaun tales, his voice soft and soothing. After the story, he uses a tiny Hextech device he created that projects calming, starry lights onto the ceiling, helping them drift off to sleep with a sense of wonder. He’ll always tuck them in just right, making sure they feel safe and snug before giving them a gentle goodnight
•When it’s mealtime, Viktor takes extra care in preparing food for the age regressor. He understands that during regression, certain textures and tastes can be comforting or distressing, so he always makes sure to prepare something they love. Whether it's cutting sandwiches into fun shapes or making warm soup when they’re feeling vulnerable, Viktor’s attention to detail makes every meal feel like an act of love. He even designed a spoon that changes colors when it’s too hot, to make feeding time a bit more playful and safe
•He’ll gather a collection of simple, safe materials and together they’ll create small gadgets or toys. Viktor patiently explains how each piece works, encouraging them to explore their curiosity. The look of pride on their face when they finish a project together is one of Viktor’s greatest joys. Sometimes, they’ll even design little robots that can move around, making the little one giggle with delight as their creation comes to life
•Viktor is incredibly patient and always there with gentle words of reassurance. If his sweetheart ever feels overwhelmed or scared, Viktor kneels down to their level, offering a warm smile and reminding them that they’re safe. He’s quick to scoop them up into a comforting hug if they need it, his hold gentle yet secure. His presence is a constant source of comfort, a steady anchor in their sometimes turbulent world
•Viktor loves surprising them with little inventions he makes specifically for them. One day, they might find a music box that plays their favorite tune, or a tiny Hextech creature that lights up and follows them around the room. Each surprise is crafted with so much care and love, and the regressor’s wide-eyed wonder and joy are the best rewards Viktor could ask for
•If his sunshine has a bad dream, Viktor is quick to respond. He’ll sit by their side, softly humming a calming tune, and gently stroke their hair until they’re ready to talk about what scared them. Viktor listens intently, offering comfort and reassuring them that everything is alright. He might even stay with them until they fall back asleep, or create a small device that projects soothing lights to chase away the lingering fear
•Viktor cherishes the quiet mornings when they wakes up. He’ll help them get dressed, choosing soft, comfortable clothes that they like. Breakfast is always a special time, Viktor prepares their favorite foods, and they eat together while Viktor listens to them excitedly talk about their dreams or plans for the day. He loves seeing their bright smile first thing in the morning; it’s the best way to start his day, too !
If you're in the basic criteria , are DSMP fans, vivziep0p fans , h0tel/h3lluva b0ss fans, Owl h0use fans, St4r butterfly fans, Ghibli fans, ddlg/abdl blogs, nsfw/k!nk blogs, anti-agere blogs, or anti Christians/Christianity blogs : just dont interact !

I know we're all quite disappointed, now, about all of the things QSMP had going that will likely never happen. So I'm curious; what things can you think of, big or small, did we never get to see? A big arc planned, character growth that never occurred, a build never started or finished, a plot point that went nowhere, a question that was never answered, people who never reunited or met, even just a person reacting to/ seeing something.
Feel free to list as many as you can think of, or rant to your heart's content. We could all do with getting some of that grief of missed potential of our chests.
#its another call to action post! i love doing these because its nice to see what people have to say and to let them vent in a specific space#I'll go first;#I'll always be so so sad that we never got to see Fit and Richas bond as father and son. we got plenty of Ramón and Pac which I'm glad for#but it feels like an entire chunk is completely missing from their family dynamic#it pains me that we'll never know what it would have been like for qFit to treat someone other than Ramón as his child#i remember once Richas asked Fit to promise to take him to a dungeon one day. that was never fulfilled.#qsmp#qsmp discourse#<Just in case#to clarify; reblog THIS POST with your response; i don't mean asks cause that'll just be a bunch of separate posts and get a little messy

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.
#simon says#to explain here and not in a reblog:#sometimes when you try to explain big picture solutions you're gonna sound dumb#you might not have done enough research#you might not have a rebuttal to a counter argument#you might not be articulate enough to explain why you think this#sometimes you gotta take a step back and give the simple solution. the one man solution#you do what you can to fight against the problem#you talk to people to help spread awareness and how to fight the bad problem#and you vote and invite others to vote for bigger steps towards solving the problem#like you can talk about theory and how you believe we need to do a huge drastic thing to solve and issue#but people will disagree and argue til you're blue in the face#they'll poke and prod until you mess up or lose your temper and use it against you#and you'll feel dumb and they'll learn nothing#sometimes the best thing to do is step away from the big picture and just say 'idk what the solution is I just know the things I can do“#sometimes you gotta admit you're not a scientist/expert and you can't answer that#i used this while talking with my Dad tonight#he brought up our climate crisis and space travel as a possible solution#and I said I think that's just addressing the symptom and not the cause and we need to care for our Earth now#and he asked me what solutions I think would fix it#and knowing my incredibly smart Dad who is articulate and ready to throw rebuttles at a moments notice to play devils advocate#and my past experience in struggling in this topic with him before#i just told him I didn't know. all i knew is the little things I can and do do to help#and that hopefully by spreading the word and habits and encouraging others to vote for those bigger solutions I could help make a change#but all I really could do is the little things I have control over#and the topic became much less stressful about the little things we have control over#like planting native plants and recycling and adopting habits that are healthier to our planet#which was 100% more preferable to if I tried to give a big solution. because I would reveal i didn't have all the knowledge needed to argue#and my articulation would make me sound like a stupid kid who only thinks they know what's best#so yeah I basically suggest that if you dont wanna feel like shit after debating someone just step away from the big picture for a moment

YALL KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!!!! MORE SCREENSHOTS FOR EVERYBODY!
Once again bringing up that I’m tired of seeing posts strictly for the female fans of the game. So here he is in all his glory, the absolute (bisexual??) icon of the franchise! Doesn’t matter if you’re a girl or a guy- or in my MCs case- something else, chances are he’s going to try his hand!
HAVE SOME FREE SEBASTIAN BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE❤️ PEACE AND LOVE ON PLANET EARTH
#You know the drill lads#Need I rant again#its incredibly frustrating how female mc oriented the fanbase is. To the point I just don’t reblog many f!mcs anymore unless its one I like#In this fandom we should be working together not against each other#Yet many of us are bullied and pushed out of the fanbase for being queer#The only real queer ship that gets popular is Sebinis and ive seen it get kind of used as a kink in ff? For some reason?#All for poly ships but come on#There other ships like prelow- which I don’t personally ship but certainly needs more space#And give it up for the female characters x female characters fans here bc gods theirs only like two#People don’t even give male mcs a chance#Only reason I’ve gotten as far as I have is because a few more popular moots have helped me#This series is both for your enjoyment and to raise awareness for queerphobia in the Hogwarts Legacy fanbase#So please reblog if you want to support my little one man cause#These screenshots are to fight HL queerphobia#Im tired of seeing my friends and mutuals bullied#I want them to be safe in this fandom#I want to be safe in this fandom#👏 please 👏 PEACEFULLY 👏 raise 👏 awareness 👏#Thank you.#hogwarts legacy#sebastian sallow#sebastian x mc#sebastian sallow screenshots

So part of my 2025 resolutions was to embrace 'cringe' and let myself be enthusiastically involved in interacting in fandom spaces (commenting, reblogging, following, talking to strangers etc) and posting my own work and it's definitely scary at times but I cannot express the sincere joy I've been having in just the past month so far.
Maybe it's just how close knit folks are on the bucktommy side of fandom space that make it feel so welcoming and rewarding but seriously I cannot recommend it enough I know it sounds obvious but fandom really is what we make it and the difference between passively and quietly enjoying my things and loudly and joyously engaging is night and day I'm having so much fun 🥰
#I love everyone in this bar type energy#I know I'm a little late to the party in some regards cause I've never been the best at making friends even in fandom spaces#but I also feel like there's been a culture shift in fandom and we should pull it back#seriously go be obnoxious on the fic you read or reblog the thing you made 20 times and play tag games and send that ask it's so worth it#this is not a dig at any part of the fandom either I've just mostly engaged with one side and they have been so wonderful

#i’m putting this down here because i don’t actually really want to talk about it or answer asks about it but i’m like a little annoyed lmao#first of all obviously people should have boundaries and not be annoying/invasive/etc. duh.#i have been around the rpf block many a time and rule 1 is don’t be a weirdo. don't let it out of fandom spaces :)#but yeah idk. oliver stark to me feels like someone who is actually very familiar with the mechanics of fandom warfare#and therefore does not know how to log off when it starts to get personal#like to be clear i definitely do not think he engages directly with This fandom other than to lurk and spy on people for fun/haterism#but in MY opinion he has the energy of a person who spends a nonzero amount of time engaged in petty anonymous beef#over a character or a ship or a sport or a new brand of tofu. idk i don’t really care what he’s into#but it does sort of seem like he forgets that when he’s doing it on his real socials with his real face and real name attached#people are going to know that it’s him and respond accordingly and he should just like. block them and move on.#and maybe even go back to his burner and vague about it or something if he truly cannot just walk away.#which he does seem to be sort of getting slightly better at but it's still just like. yeah man! i don't know what to tell you.#people are weird sometimes. we all get weird anons and dm’s and people cyberbullying us. it sucks and it shouldn't happen but it does.#and you do literally just have to find ways to make it easier to ignore them. i know that you know this#because you are a human who grew up on the same exact internet as the rest of us.#i say; as i feel compelled to post about a tiny situation from like 12 hours ago that has literally nothing to do with me#anyway!!!!!!!#i went into the settings to turn off reblogs and thought how funny would it be if i blazed this post lmao

I sometimes feel like characters who do truly monstrous things while also having been victims of some pretty insane shit themselves are sort of an exercise in empathy. Or at least, should be seen as such.
Like, in real life, if a person who has been horribly broken by their experiences and failed by society than proceeds to rape someone - it's hard to feel the justifiable sympathy/empathy for that person (without excusing their rape, never do that) because well, you can look at this actual human person they hurt, or worse, and it feels gross and disrespectful to the rape victim.
And this is understandable. (And applies to more than just rapists/rape victims of course, that's just the most visceral one and thus picked for that reason)
But a fictional rape victim is... fictional. You can't 'disrespect' their trauma, and while obviously rape/whatever else is real, and people may related to the rape victim and thus see your comments about the rapist also being a victim as somehow being about their experience...
Well, it's not.
Because the rapist here, didn't actually hurt a real person. Fictional characters are objects. They're objects that often grab us by the throat and refuse to leave our fucking heads, yes, but they're objects. They are tools used by writers to tell a story, and readers to tell a story.
And one of the things fictional characters are good for is allowing us to consider experiences we never had, and imagine ourselves in other circumstances and lives. (Also just fun and fascinating and interesting to watch their stories).
It's very easy to feel for the rape victim in fiction, and rightly so. That's Level 1 Empathy there. Granted, some people IRL fail that, but that's not really what we're talking about here.
Advanced Empathy, hard Empathy is feeling for the rapist. Not for the rape, of course, even if they feel guilt about it, but if someone really was failed on multiple levels and was broken and damaged and went through the sort of psychological wringer that would leave most of us here on tumblr catatonic - they do deserve the same Empathy any human (any person) who went through all that.
Even after they also do the bad thing, critically they still deserve Empathy. And that is fucking hard. I very often have a hard time feeling bad for truly awful people who also deserve empathy and sympathy, real and even fictional (despite all this, yeah, I'm not perfect on this) for what they (separately) went through.
It also becomes even harder when what they went through is utterly bound up with what they did. How what they went through and experiences is in part responsible for what they did - because they still made a choice. The circumstances may have left them not in their right mind, may have left them feeling without choice, may have driven them to things they normally might not think of or do, but they still chose to do that bad thing. And that's not okay. They still hurt someone.
And yet - one cannot remove the action from the circumstances. So you can still feel empathy, and elucidate all the factors and circumstances as to what led up to their choices and why, and it doesn't change that they did the horrible thing. The rape, or the murders, or whatever.
But circling back - with a fictional character... they didn't hurt a real person. There's no one who is real that suffered. The things the character did IRL are bad because they hurt real people.
So you're not being disrespectful to the victim by feeling that empathy, or sympathy. By exploring the things that they were a victim for. Even by wanting to focus on those things - fictional characters should be compelling in all their aspects, if they're written well.
And yet, of course, if you do that empathy and do talk about what the bad person went through and all that context, people come at you. They call you evil, just as bad as the (again, fictional) character, or they say that you're treading dangerously close to the arguments people use to defend the real people who do these things in real life. Or you're disrespecting all the victims of these crimes IRL. Especially of course, if the person coming at you has a reason this comes close to home.
But again - fictional.
In an ideal world, we'd all feel sympathy and empathy when it's called for, regardless of what the person did. Even the worst most monstrous people deserve human treatment in prison. And if you don't have empathy, that's hard. Even if you do have empathy, that's hard.
So if you look at a fictional character (who doesn't hurt a real person by virtue of being fictional) that does horrible, vile things, but went through so much, and you still can't empathize or sympathize with them... I mean, it doesn't make you a bad person, not even close, this is still fiction, and there's people I should empathize with in fiction that I don't, but...
It's still a failure of your ability to be empathetic. And we're all humans. We're all failing at that, among other things, all the time. But... it's good to be aware of that. at least?
At the very least, bear that in mind when other people are talking about that context, and that victimization. And please, for the love of god, don't fucking pretend that the victimization didn't happen, that this person who did do terrible things (in fiction) suddenly didn't also (in fiction) experience awful shit, as if doing a bad thing erases all the bad things done to you.
Again - it doesn't necessarily make you a bad person, but like... the horrible state of prisons in our society is a real, actual problem. The way we as a society dehumanize people who do bad things is a real actual problem for a lot of reasons (not least because it creates an incentive for authority that wants to dehumanize a person or a group to expand the definition of 'did bad things' to make their dehumanization now acceptable, among other things).
So yeah. Fictional character who suffers but than also makes others suffer - that's a useful exercise in Empathy. And doing that doesn't make you or anyone else a bad person, or actually defending the sorts of crimes, IRL or Fictional, that this character did. Contextualizing is not whitewashing, empathy is not erasing, and humanizing is not disrespecting the victim(s).
So yeah, they fictional character did bad things. But there's more to them than that. And you can say but and talk about what comes after but without disrespecting the fictional victim. Because the fictional victim... is just as fictional. Just as not real.
Is it possible for this to end up being taken too far? Yes. But that's a reason to be mindful of yourself when it comes to real people, not to never do it. And when it comes to fictional people - again, fictional. Nobody was actually, really hurt.
(I really do want to make clear, before people read the tags, that this applies to all crimes these sorts of characters do, rape was just picked as the one to use as the example.)
#Anakin Skywalker#Azula#Grant Ward#Amy Dallon#Panacea#Empathy#Sympathy#I kind of used both terms probably a little wrongly I don't know but I think my point is clear#the tagged characters were Just a few of the characters I had in mind while writing this#So many times I see people talking about the context and the way this and that character who did horrible shit and then I see other people#give them so much shit for that and say its not okay to talk about these things because it's victim blaming or erasing the crimes#or disrespecting the victim and like - it's all fictional but also like... even if it were real#a real person who suffered#whatever else they do later#is a real fucking person who fucking suffered#Ultimately if you can't bring yourself to empathize with a given fictional character - whether it's because their crimes hit close to home#or not - it's fine#you're not a bad person for that and I'm not saying that#but if you consistently never empathize with the fictional characters who deserve it and consistently try to downplay their trauma in the#context of the fiction or even try to erase it#Then maybe reflect#and either way - let other people empathize and talk about the context and all the rest for these characters in peace#even if you feel like they're whitewashing or victim blaming they probably aren't in 99% of cases and even if they are when it comes to#fictional characters they're fucking fictional just block or ignore or back button and move on maybe vent in your own space#But just - leave it alone#And maybe - if you haven't before - try to practice the 'Advanced Empathy' required to feel for these fictional monsters. It really is a#good exercise#Also like please reblog this I'm not really on tumblr for the notes most of the time but I really poured out a lot into this one and I'm#tired of doing that only to feel like I'm shouting into an empty void#I am on here because on some level I want engagement I want the connection

⁎˚ ఎ Metalocalypse Agere ໒ ˚⁎
OMG YAY!! can you do headcannons for toddler / baby regressor toki and cg / big brother skwisgaar from ?? :3 (also I just noticed your requests are closed sorry for asking late 😓 )
•Despite his rough exterior, Skwisgaar has a soft spot for Toki's regressed state. He becomes surprisingly nurturing, speaking to Toki in a softer, slower voice and always making sure he's comfortable and happy
•Story Time: Toki loves when Skwisgaar reads to him. Even though Skwisgaar might struggle a bit with the language, he does his best, and Toki is captivated by the sound of his voice. Skwisgaar often reads fairy tales or Scandinavian folklore, which fascinates Toki
•Lullabies : Skwisgaar plays lullabies on his guitar to help Toki fall asleep. The gentle melodies calm Toki down instantly, and it becomes their nightly routine. Sometimes, Skwisgaar even sings, his usually sharp voice becoming soft and soothing
•Skwisgaar creates soft, metal-inspired lullabies just for Toki. They're slower, gentler versions of the band's songs, which Toki finds incredibly comforting. He sometimes hums along in his small voice, feeling safe with the familiar sounds
•Toki loves to cuddle up with Skwisgaar, especially when he's feeling extra small. Skwisgaar might grumble about it at first, but he quickly wraps an arm around Toki, providing him with a sense of security
•Playtime : Skwisgaar tries to engage Toki in simple activities like drawing or playing with stuffed animals. He might not be the most creative, but he enjoys seeing Toki happy and laughing. Toki loves when Skwisgaar builds little towers with blocks, only to knock them down with a giggle
•Skwisgaar becomes fiercely protective of Toki when he's regressed. He won’t let anyone or anything upset him and ensures that their environment is calm and peaceful. If anyone teases Toki, Skwisgaar steps in immediately !
•Skwisgaar patiently helps Toki eat when he's regressed, cutting up his food into small pieces or even spoon-feeding him if needed. He often prepares traditional Scandinavian comfort foods that are easy for Toki to eat
•Skwisgaar sometimes takes Toki out for walks in nature, knowing that being outdoors helps Toki relax. They’ll explore quiet, forested areas where Toki can pick flowers or chase after butterflies, all under Skwisgaar’s watchful eye
•Skwisgaar might carry Toki on his shoulders when they're out and about, making Toki feel safe and happy. He’s surprisingly patient when Toki is in his little space, always willing to give him extra attention and care
•There’s an unspoken understanding between them. Skwisgaar knows when Toki needs to regress without Toki saying a word. He’s attuned to Toki’s moods and is always ready to switch into caregiver mode whenever Toki needs him
•While the other band members pretend not to care, they secretly do little things to help Toki when he's regressed. Nathan might order extra sweets for Toki to enjoy, while Pickles might discreetly clean up messes Toki makes, all without making a big deal of it. Murderface occasionally leaves his favorite plush toy near Toki’s things
•When on tour, Skwisgaar helps Toki build pillow forts in the back of the tour bus. It becomes a little sanctuary for Toki, filled with soft blankets, stuffed animals, and snacks. Skwisgaar guards the fort from any disruptions, keeping it a safe space for Toki
•Toki loves watching cartoons and kids’ shows, but to keep things "brutal," Skwisgaar finds the most metal-themed animated shows or even edits old horror movies to make them more toddler-friendly. They have movie nights where they watch these together, with Toki sitting in Skwisgaar’s lap
•Toki has a set of small, toy-sized instruments that he plays with when he’s regressed. Skwisgaar often jams with him, playing along on his guitar. It’s their way of bonding musically, even if the music is more playful and innocent than usual
•During concerts, if Toki starts to regress or feel overwhelmed, Skwisgaar has a special signal to the crew to create a calm space backstage. There’s always a quiet room with soft lighting and noise-canceling headphones where Skwisgaar can take Toki if he needs a break
•When Toki needs a nap, Dada Skwisgaar takes him to the most secluded, quiet area of their enormous mansion. He ensures it’s as cozy as possible
•Skwisgaar has some custom-made Metalocalypse onesies and other baby gear created for Toki, complete with the band’s logo in pastel colors or softer designs. It’s a secret stash of Toki’s that no one else is allowed to touch, except Skwisgaar
•Bubble Baths : Toki loves bath time, so Skwisgaar makes it a fun ritual by adding lots of bubbles and sometimes using bath bombs shaped like skulls or guitars. He even pretends they’re in a "brutal" underwater adventure, where they defeat rubber ducky "villains" together
•“Metalocalypse Daycare” : When things get too chaotic in the band’s world, Skwisgaar designates a room in the mansion as a "daycare" for Toki. It’s filled with toys, soft furniture, and calming music. The band knows not to disturb them when they’re in there, and Skwisgaar spends time with Toki, helping him feel safe amidst the insanity
•Despite his aloof attitude, Skwisgaar secretly does research on how to be a better caregiver for Toki. He reads parenting books (in secret) and learns about child psychology, even if he’d never admit it to anyone else. This makes him unexpectedly knowledgeable about how to help Toki through tough moments
If you're in the basic criteria , are DSMP fans, vivziep0p fans , h0tel/h3lluva b0ss fans, Owl h0use fans, St4r butterfly fans, Ghibli fans, ddlg/abdl blogs, nsfw/k!nk blogs, anti-agere blogs, or anti Christians/Christianity blogs : just dont interact !
