#long ahh rant

[maned-dog]

Bored & hospitalized rn and ive been thinking a ton abt how underrated the entirety of gen 8 was

First off, the marketing and reveals were AMAZING. The nature cam for ponyta? I adored that. The scrambled up glitchy sirfetched was HYPE, and impidimp constantly teasing us in demos and small appearances without ever getting an official pre-release reveal was so fitting.

The designs in general of every single pokemon are so GOOD. Not only the original mons but also all the regionals were so charming and well spread out and arguably way better than alolan forms. Some of my favorite designs that never get talked about are Mr. Rime, galarian slowbro, and galarian darmanitan. Every new form and evo went into pokemon that ACTUALLY needed extra love and yet the community never talks abt em!!

Another thing i ADORE is all the small tiny features which imo should've stayed permanently! As much as i love the mobile PCs, the rotom PC with pokejobs and the loto feature was real cute and neat, the trainer cards and the amount of customization they had were SO GOOD and SO UNDERRATED!! The student cards or whatever in SV arent nearly as charming.

Also the region itself!! While yes it is LINEAR its still so gorgeous (aside feom the wild area) and, personally, id argue the DLCs did a way better job at an open world than SV did. The maps were pretty and every area was unique and had a use in the story unlike SV and its DLCs where half the map goes unused in the story or theres a ton of filler fields.

Anyway idc what anyone says alongside gen 3, gen 8 is my favorite to replay and go through. The dex is so diverse despite the natdex cut and while SV has better characters and story i still prefer SWSH and sll its unique charm

what do you think everyone in jackson's cabinet thought of his niece pre-petticoat affair [emily donelson]

Hello tumblr moot I am gonna answer this they rant bc I have SO many opinions abt the Petticoat Affair

(mentions of abuse in one paragraph so be warned)

As to what they thought of her before??? I imagine they liked her, she was the acting First Lady, and she did take the side of the wives, and eventually left when her uncle called her out.

I think one of the things that draws me so much to the Petticoat Affair is, nobody involved is a good person. You have the Eaton’s, basket cases, then you have the Calhoun’s, ALSO basket cases but sligtly crazier.

Then you have Jackson, and I firmly believe his reaction was a trauma response. Yes, I know that bold of me to say, but he witnessed his wife, arguably the love of his life, basically get bullied till she died. It’s well known that clouded his judgement and influenced his opinion.

Eaton’s and Calhoun’s arent 100% innocent either. Pretty known, but from what I’ve heard, Margaret just seemed bitchy for no reason, and her husband just didn’t care. Floride was straight up abusive to her husband, and also seemed bitchy too. I can see why he’d be a bit scared to talk to her (and which is I also believe she had underlying mental illness, a convo for a different post)

There are a million ways this could have gone. And I have my opinions. Should JCC have tried to talk to his wife?? Maybe. Should the cabinet women have ostracized Margaret? No, at least not to the degree they did. Should Margaret have been a little bitch? No. Is everyone involved in this a bad person? 100%.

I genuinely do not know what I would have done if I was in Jackson’s shoes. I’m okay at socializing online, but irl nah. I’d probably cry LMAO. In all seriousness, this issue is so complex, and both sides were wrong, if that makes sense.

Okay, rant over. Sorry if this made no sense

hi ian i come bearing angst fuel for the yuusha as twsted elsa (maybe an idea for her possible overblot idk she kinda reads to me as someone whod preemptively isolate in the case she feels...blotty)

(also seeing that art of her playing violin totally didnt fuck me up im still nursing my bruised heart 🥴🥴💕💕)

https://youtu.be/NDldNaEZTt8?si=Wm71pgTltuJLjFvk

^^this is from the frozen musical where they gave a song to elsa to explore her emotional turmoil and it just fleshed out her character so much more than the orig movie (ok i havent seen frozen 2 oops) but just this section here:

Is everyone in danger as long as I'm alive?

Was I a monster from the start?

How did I end up with this frozen heart?

Bringing destruction to the stage

Caught in a war that I was never meant to wage

anyways lmao i jus think the song is neat i think yuushas neat (i wanna see more of her ahehehe i love seeing infodumps abt ur yuus)

-diodellet

(throwback to this “what if yuu had magic” ask where i had a ✨realization✨ and this more recent yuusha lore drop that i gave zero elaboration on 🙃)

very rough ob yuu design??? idk i came up with it on the spot ;;; and it’s kinda based on disney’s concept art of elsa when she was supposed to be the villain.

evil ice queen vibes :3

also i know the ob monster is supposed to be based on the villain— which is elsa in this case— but lowkey. an ice monster is way cooler.

also also i just realized after i drew this i couldve done a grim/yuu tandem overblot ough 🤧🤧 (next time I'll do that instead if i ever go back to this concept)

(read more below because it got SO long)

AAH anyways hi hi dio!!! when i saw your ask i went —

— with this entire post

AAGH HOW MANY MORE UNINTENTIONAL CONNECTIONS ARE GOING TO BE BETWEEN FROZEN AND YUUSHA

i guess watching the movie everyday when it came out when you’re like 9 does something to your brain chemistry (and still haunts you at least a decade later) 💀

but anyways the angst ;;; overblot yuu ;;;;; my brain is rotting and the worms have taken over

also i didn’t even know that there was a frozen broadway musical so im gonna have to check it out later 🏃💨💨💨

(also dont worry frozen 2 is a nice watch for the most part but the way they concluded the characters did not feel 100% satisfying to me 😭 BUT i love some of the songs tho ;;; kristoff’s goofy 80s ballad song is one of them specifically, i need everyone to listen to it)

hfgnnfhfgv anyways thank you so much i’m chugging that angst fuel as i expand more on a possible ob yuusha with another infodump 💪💪💪

⚠️⚠️⚠️ ALSO IM SORRY BUT mentions of taking one’s own life so please proceed with caution ⚠️⚠️⚠️

i had to reread what my initial thoughts about it bc it was months ago??? and after rereading im just like, huh what was i on— (just that feeling when you just cringe at your old posts ;; but idk i think the insanity/cringe sometimes can loop back into being a genius and the cycle just continues)

anyways i’ve been on and off writing yuusha’s bio and overblot yuu was just at the back of my mind chilling but i didn’t really do anything with it.

but now that i have the opportunity,,,, im gonna go on the magicless route this time bc i feel like I've said all what i thought if it was an overblot due to her own magic.

so uh from what i gather overblots are a mix of overuse of magic + intense negative emotion.

since it’s magicless yuu, i guess the one of the general headcanons around the fandom is that they’ve been too exposed to overblots and then intense negative emotions suddenly just triggered their overblot.

uh anyways onto the elsa parts

Is everyone in danger as long as I'm alive? Was I a monster from the start? How did I end up with this frozen heart? Bringing destruction to the stage Caught in a war that I was never meant to wage

THE LYRICS ARE SO GOOD ;;; i really love how some broadway interpretations expand on the source material

and yeah you're right 🤧🤧🤧— yuusha would try to hide and escape, especially as she overblots bc she would try to avoid hurting people (and like elsa, it'd only hurt others more trying to escape bc of probably how she leaves destruction in her wake trying to make others stay away from her 😔)

(this is a small tangent but i remember thinking about an overblot kalim and i imagine him to be similar, like he would not hurt anyone intentionally in his overblot.)

anyways so the way it would go is that i imagine her friends got fatally injured either because a) she feels that she’s too “useless” without magic to help and wasn’t able to do anything OR b) her attempts at helping to try and prove that she can help without magic made everything worse.

and then she just goes into a guilty spiral then boom — overblot.

ALSO in the song, the way elsa briefly contemplated taking her own life but then realizing there’s no guarantee that would solve anything hnghgh (<- another unintentional parallel to my yuusha lore because that’s actually how she ended up in twst except she did NOT have the latter realization)

there’s this “yuu is dead” theory i’m just using and that the black carriage actually just caught yuusha’s soul after she took her own life from all the burden.

also some bonus angst context for that violin post :3

yuusha back in her homeworld is raised and known to be a gifted musician. people can feel the life and soul in her music but when people interact with her, they are usually met with an ice-cold (heh) personality.

the dead family member was the one who taught her music and the only one who was kind to her.

there’s always an expectation from her family to perform well and to keep up appearances as to not be a humiliation since anything she does can reflect on her entire family. (also hi, slight yuusha/jamil parallels maybe???)

the way she presents herself also stemmed from an incident as a child when she went apeshit on another kid bc she was defending a friend.

so from then on she was taught taught to conceal don’t feel those emotions — which just unfortunately extended to any positive ones, not just negative ones like rage.

so when she is brought to twst, there’s no memory of her being forced to hold back her emotions so she’s just unapologetically affectionate and open with everyone bc that’s how she really is.

but every now and then, memories of her breaking down haunt her in her dreams or as subtle reminders in the waking world.

then yuusha just goes on her day like she just wasn't reminded of her past.

(unnecessarily tragic lore my beloved, but anyway—)

another extremely brief tangent and bonus -> the two songs i had on loop while drawing pre-twst yuusha

lindsey stirling my beloved i love her music

the songs are such a vibe

her instrumentals in “lose you now” especially makes me feel some sort of way 😖

interested in your thoughts on lupin :O it's rare to see other people who are fans out in the wild

ahh yes!!! theyre arguably my favourite books (collection of stories.. ish.. what do you even call it?) other than crime and punishment,, and im still in the process of reading as many as possible, but ive reread a few too!!

i absolutely adore arsène lupin as a character and the way that the stories are written is always so entertaining,, plus the fact that theyre very short so it never feels like theyre dragging on (unlike my other favourite book.. shuddering..)

plus theyre even a main inspiration for a project im working on.. posts abt it will happen sometime soon, likely before the end of the yr or just after

INFACT, i started reading a few more of the stories just a few days ago in a book i got a while back but forgot was on my shelf, and im not joking that The Red Silk Scarf was so funny that TODAY i had to literally stop myself from giggling out loud in my maths class while i was reading it.. funnily enough i just realised i stopped myself from laughing by holding my red scarf over my face. huh. lupin is the silliest goofer

i always get super excited when i find other people who like arsène lupin,, or just references to him in media i like!! i kinda want to watch the lupin III series but i havent got around to it since i spend most of my time watching detective conan </3

sorry this reply was a bit long and wordy,, like i said i got a bit excited since nobody asks me about it loll but id love to hear more peoples' opinions on it too!! maybe one day ill post art of the funky thief himself

[real-hottopic]

ok after the beautiful post my dear @wothmzn made ive thought about the beauty of life and humanity.

I noticed that seemingly every person wants to show they are here. from cave paintings to writing "[name was here]" on school walls and doors. Its facinating how that works. I remeber seeing this topic on youtube and they said that we are like kids asking their parents to watch them do that flip one more time, we all want to be noticed. Its like we are all connected in our desire to have some impact on the world, so people know they existed. The way people of so many backgrounds and generations will show they were here, like on school doors or books announcing their presence is SO COOL.

i know this is long and may not make sence but i just wanted to share this lol

some sort of au where mtt are like famed serial killers in some random ass city or whatever idk but dust's got a little gaming theme going on because of his whole LV and EXP thing and his name is serial number. because. because its a play on words. serial. SERIAL killer. number. like like numbers that need to increase for better stats. and he could go after people in games that have the highest lvl or whatever because serial numbers are "unique identifiers used to identify an item usually assigned sequentially or incrementally." like. like. incrementally like the increment of video game exp or something WHATEVER THE IDEA IS THERE OKAY THE IDEA IS THERE

I have been writing the Eddie Munson Warm Bodies au!

The first chapter may be slightly longer, but that’s because I want to have Eddie and reader at least meet in the first, and there’s a lot of world building that has to come before that. Idk, we’ll see how it goes! I’m currently 4k in of the very first draft, so it’s definitely being written haha

I’m really excited actually, to show and talk about some of the decisions I’ve made! There’s a couple of things I’m excited to discuss, even though they may be like smaller details haha ☺️

Lukewarm take but I never understood why people seemed to hate repetitive games so much

Like rn I love wild horse island on Roblox and my routine is: capture horses , sell horses , spend money to buy ropes and upgrade horses abilities , mine stuff to make lassos and capture more horse and repeat

Like it's so calming to know what to do all the time and to do the same stuff over and over without anything new GENUINELY I love it sm you guys are weird

replaying terror fest finale while listening to this in my head

[asterias-corner]

ok so like, ocs and universes? But ones i made when i was 7! You should hear about this :0

So the whole shabang is that in the worlds of humans and hybrids, they each have their own realms, the human realm and novacia. Now in novacia, there is a big crystal known as the plow star, its name being a representation of how its power can literally plow life to extinction. It broke, by the doing of dr bless, but we’ll call him zari, he is a demon shapeshifter who takes form of a scientist is the human realm. Anni (self insert/main character) was shoved through the portal by him. In the human realm, zari is making hybrids from normal people. Anni happened to be a test subject, and a “failed” one. They were found by Zachary and his mom, but only after they’d been blessed by mori (more on her later) with the power of the plow star :3 they took them in and while exploring one day they stumbled upon the fire shard. Zach got close and it embedded into his chest. He burst into flames, his veins turning red while the power embedded itself into him. Anni couldn’t get close but a burning sensation in their chest made them find that the original shards were scattered, and Zach had found one. They find an old temple nearby, finding books about the power. They make it their mission to find the other shards, and that’s where they meet Luna, who is a good friend of theirs, immediately sharing that a crystal that made her feel like she was going to freeze to death, and that meant they had 2 shards, and the main crystal so far. Clarity was a bunny hybrid who was working on keeping a specific bit of land safe and a farmer, but found Kyle overtaken by dark magic, they fought wildly, clarity had found the crystal a year beforehand, and had been practicing and managed to beat him. She restrained him with ivy. They talked and Kyle apologized profusely, having been taken control of. They’d been out one day at the main market, trying to buy some food when a hell hound was trampling about causing a ruckus. Before they could help they found anni, Luna, and Zachary already using their powers to stop it. They converse and now having found 2 others- but were still missing another two. A rather aggressive lightning storm had been bothering a town, and wouldn’t let up. Something wasn’t right. They traveled and found Diana, who was upset and angry over her families death. They consoled her and added her to the group. And one night on anni’s watch, they were attacked by a cat hybrid, using air magic. Anni chased her away from camp, fought a bit while trying to talk to her, managing to get through to her- and thus they had found all shard holders. Once they had done so, a rather strange fox stumbled into the clearing, bounding over to anni with a scroll in his jaw. It explained he was a companion that would join them to take down zari, also known as dr bless. They prepared, eventually finding he had perfected the replica of the crystal, and had made an army. He was going to wipe out all of humanity and turn them into hybrids to overthrow novacia next. The war took place in the human realm, eventually getting backed up into novacia. The battle was rough, absolutely devastating to the lands, but mori, the goddess of novacia, had strengthened the ones with blood from her, (basically anyone born in novacia or specifically blessed by her.) ((-Anni)) making them powerful in their domain, successfully destroying zari and his troops. The day is won, and rebuilding is in order, in the human realm and in novacia. They all build a mansion to live in, hanging out and living life to the fullest. 

Was this like a gacha movie? Yes. Do i care? No. This was like my favorite thing to daydream about, zodiac was actually an imaginary friend of mine when i was younger. I used this to cope with a lot of stuff, and it means a lot to me, so I’m sharing :’)
