#lowkey I'm just yapping

[clfixationstation]

I have so much thoughts but I'm too shy to elaborate on them lol

But I read your tags about cabin em/a and yeah, it's also how I feel, like wdym you both are running away in the middle of enemy territory, without telling anyone, letting the supposedly third member of your family alone in an ongoing war, as the last titan on paradis side. "But there are Jean, Sasha and Connie" who are their own trio, "but he also have Annie" who is in the cristal, "but he is an grown man" barely an adult, actually.

That's also why I can't fully enjoy the last ending, why are that many people so sure Armin is alone in hell? Why people think Eren is in haven but Armin isn't?

Anyway my own interpretation of the cabin world is more like, although is a way for em to find closure, is not supposed to be a perfect world, nor fully a perfect alternative choice, so Mikasa can be in peace with the decisions she already made.

Also, you read fanfics? I like how "To Each Their Cage" by 72HoursMassacre explore this concept, but read the tags first.

Sorry for the long rant 😅

Hiii! Thanks for messaging :) And I'm sorry for taking so long to get to this (this is from what, April?! shame on me)

Yeah, I'm (obviously) very much in agreement about cabin em/a. I feel like people really downplay Armin's relationships with Eren and Mikasa in order to allow themselves to feel good about the cabin em timeline.

Like yes, Sasha, Connie, and Jean are still there, but Armin isn't nearly as close them as he is with Eren and Mikasa. And (as you said) they're an established friendship trio that Armin is not part of. Annie would understand Armin, but in the cabin timeline, Eren never undoes the hardening, so Annie is never freed.

People also really try to insist that Armin is a "grown man" and therefore would not be so "wimpy" to be hurt by em leaving. First of all, 19 is barely an adult, and second, such emotions are not relegated to a specific age range. I think that a 40 year old could feel just as hurt by his best friends running away and leaving him to face a war without them as a 19 year old. I suspect there's an undercurrent of misogyny there, where people think being emotional (specifically sad) is a "feminine trait" and therefore "weak", "childish", "bad". When it's clearly just a human trait lol. to think Armin "couldn't be sad" or that "being sad is wimpy" is ridiculous

I have also seen people argue that Armin "got over" his insecurities about the possibility of Eren and Mikasa deciding he's a burden and leaving him after confronting the Garrison during the Trost arc in season 1 - which is absolutely absurd. Such a deep-rooted insecurity is not going to vanish in an instant, and it has clearly colored Armin's actions and mentality throughout the whole story. Heck, I'd say that Eren leaving Armin pre-s4 deeply exacerbated Armin's insecurities, which held him back a lot in s4 because he no longer had any trust in his abilities.

Anyways. I too interpret the cabin as a way for em to find closure, moreso for Mikasa than Eren.

I think another part of it is that in the AoT universe, the concepts of heaven and hell may not align with our real-world understandings (which differ from religion to religion anyway). There does seem to be some sort of afterlife, or a way that souls are preserved (?), at least for the Eldians through Paths. I've seen people float around the idea that the place Mikasa and Eren are in the last ending is not heaven, but the Eldian afterlife, or perhaps the AoT universe afterlife, and that there is no hell in AoT. I somewhat like this theory because it would mean that Armin isn't burning in hell alone LOL

My theories: 1) Mikasa is in heaven, and her version of heaven must include Eren. Eren is split between heaven for Mikasa and hell for his and Armin's sins. 2) There is no heaven or hell in AoT, and Eren, Mikasa, and all the characters go to "AoT afterlife" or nowhere at all. 3) There is no "Aot afterlife" or Eldian afterlife after the titan curse is broken. The ED is simply Mikasa's dream as she passes away.

All in all, it's very frustrating to see people insist that Eren and Mikasa are in heaven whilst Armin is alone in hell. While Armin's crimes against humanity are vast, Eren's are far, far worse. If Armin were to go to hell (even with all the work he did to rebuild humanity), Eren would definitely be there too. The additional ending with Eren and Mikasa in "heaven" seems to contradict the messaging the finale had up until that point. Mikasa does deserve heaven, a peaceful existence, a good ending - but Eren ending up in heaven too really leaves a bad taste in my mouth :/ If Eren is in heaven, is the story minimizing, perhaps even justifying, his actions?

Also, what is the point of the entire conversation where Armin and Eren promise to be together in hell forever is that is not the case?

Honestly, I would take less of an issue if Armin joined them at the end of the ED, to demonstrate they all made it to the AoT version of afterlife. It's a shame too, because the ED is gorgeous

Oh and as to the fic, I definitely read it at some point a while back! 72HoursMassacre's fics are usually pretty good explorations, so I probably liked that one too :)

Hi, Howdy! Hey! I really love your novel!! I got a little confused by the 4 day, may maybe you help me please? who is it? why we got the bad end staying the night in Ren’s apartment and he disappear of the home screen? I can’t understand “unset memory” game, sorry if I wrote smth wrong or smth sounds rude, I swear that I didn’t mean it if happened, I’m really a fan of the novel, I’ve been playing the game since day 1 or 2 I guess, probably day 1, english isn’t my first language, but I tried lol

⌞♥⌝ I hope you don't mind me answering these as bullet points!! ^^

"It" will be revealed later in the game! So I won't reveal too much right now.

You can only get the Dead End in Day 4 by staying at Ren's apartment — the rest of your choices before that don't matter. I'd also pay closer attention to the black smoke and Ren's reaction towards it!

Ren disappears from the home screen because he promised to help the player out (and stop them from getting the Dead End again). Try replaying the game again from the beginning for a surprise!

"Unsent Memories" was another visual novel (initially being written by @10chimes / @unsentmemory, though the project has since been dropped and handed back to me /pos) and is set in the same universe as 14 Days With You. Its storyline and characters are completely separate from 14DWY, so you don't have to worry about them while playing 14DWY.

will make pretty later, but tribbie graphic/widget (there's a transparent one and one with a backing depending on what your using it for lol)

[thousand-winters]

Okay, fuck it. Extremely niche Tellius AU that's relevant only to me probably because I haven't known there to be an intersection between Saiki K and Fire Emblem fans, let's goooo

Started this whole thing thinking about Kaido as a heron. He can be a black heron, as a treat, he would LOVE being the Jet Black Wings for real. Plus herons can channel magic through their singing, which I think he also would like. They're also, unfortunately, a bit physically frail, though that doesn't meant they won't try to throw a punch lmao. I think it works for him.

Teruhashi should be a heron too, obviously (I was actually thinking it would be cute if she was some sort of princess like the heron family in FE9/10 and Kaido was kind of like Nealuchi just generally looking after her). It gives her the ethereal and beautiful vibes she would need. Though I was also thinking maybe a heron-raven mix? Or maybe heron-heron but a white and black one. Prominently appearing to be a heron with white wings but maybe some black feathers here and there, just like her aura.

Saiki would obviously be a dragon. The only dragon there because it's what he deserves. A pink dragon since that's canonically a thing too, but we are ignoring the power hierarchy between the colors, shhh, he can be overpowered anyway. The whole thing with the dragons isolating themselves from pretty much everyone else fits him too.

I want Nendo to be a tiger laguz. Not for anything in particular, he just has the built for it, he's big and strong and he also reminds me a little about Mordecai, who's pretty much the gentle giant trope. It's what Nendo deserves, I think.

I was thinking a tiger branded for Kuboyasu. He would still be way more physically strong than an average person since most of the feline branded seem to have inherited that from their laguz side, plus I think it would be neat. Also branded do tend to have that wariness of both laguz and humans, leaning more against laguz, which honestly could work for Kuboyasu.

(Also I found it amusing to make the guys shipped with Saiko tiger related stuff. Sorry lmao)

Speaking of Saiko, I'm either thinking normal human but from a prominent family (tentatively thinking Daein though that would make him a king or a heir prince) or perhaps a hawk because nobody else in the list would be a hawk. He can still be a royal of Phoenicis as a hawk anyway.

Yumehara I was thinking a cat laguz. Spunkier than suspected given that they're smaller than every other laguz, and still quite intense. Also I think she would look really cute, she reminds me of Lyre in that sense. Going half on vibes here.

I wanted most of them to be laguz or such, rather than normal people, but I think it would be super funny if Hairo WAS a normal human, just super intense about his training and very intent on beating Nendo in strength anyway, despite Nendo just wanting to chill and make friends. So ridiculously energetic that people might suspect he's not fully human but nope, he's just like that (alternatively, another cat).

I'm gonna be honest, I have absolutely no idea for Mera, I was thinking normal human for her as well. Maybe another tiger? I kinda want to make someone a wolf but the vibes don't feel right neither for her not for Hairo. Maybe she can be a branded too, I don't know. Tentatively making her a lion because I think it would be equally funny and sad if she's straight up from royal lineage but something happened like in canon that made her lose status.

Rushing to make Aiura a heron branded just so she can have Micaiah's fortune telling sick powers. Maybe she can have the sacrifice healing as well, as a treat, because it feels like something she would love to use to rescue others even though it's reckless to use it since it's healing while depleting her own health.

For Toritsuka I was thinking normal human, but one who has made a pact with the spirits so he can be a Spirit Charmer. It doesn't work this way in Tellius but this is my AU and I'm making up my own rules, so I'm saying this not only allows him communication with the magic spirits but also with ghosts so he can have his gimmick. He's a mage now, yay.

Akechi I think would be so funny as a normal human who STILL can read everyone for filth. Not a particularly good combatant or anything, and he's another case of "he's so good at his thing you think he SURELY has to have something going on, but no, he's just like that". Especially funny if nobody else is a normal human.

Once again breaking lore rules but I was thinking Kusuke could be a branded that did not manifest any marks or special skills, so for any purposes he seems like a normal human vs Kusuo being fully a dragon, which could keep their dynamic of him feeling humiliated by his little brother despite his cleverness and brains.

Now, as per the breaking lore rules, that's because I was thinking Kurumi could be a dragon (red would be cool, I'm truly fully ignoring the color based strength here) and Kuniharu could be a normal human. Kurumi can STILL lose her powers due to the human-laguz union. For flavor. It doesn't work this way but Kusuo would be inheriten the full scope of her powers while Kusuke gets nothing.

As for why are even all these people in the same place to interact in the first place, I have no idea because I'm not really planning to make this into a classic Fire Emblem war story lmao. Maybe they all go to an academy together a la Three Houses? That could be fun.

[weirfq1]

with all these gaston crackships/rarepairs that are coming out lately it would be so fucking funny if he had a flig with all the main characters (ambar, nina, simon... hell luna too if you want) and they all know it except matteo

[s4pphic-sh3nan1gans]

bokris yapping you say 👀 what do you think about them hypothetically having children? like we all know bojan wants nothing more than to be a balkan dad but kris doesn't really share his opinion on kids plus he's an older brother so that i guess also affects him. i mean imo bojan would love to have children sooner but kris would love to wait. so how do you think would they go about having children in general?

sorry it took me a while to get to this! the album release had me very distracted 😭 this is such an adorable ask though!!! <3

okay so I think if I'm remembering this correctly from somewhere, Bojan said not too long ago that he used to have in his mind that he wanted kids when he's around 30, but he also now doesn't mind if he waits a bit longer than that (I don't know where I'm remembering that from though so I apologise if I have that wrong 😅). as for Kris, I don't remember hearing about his thoughts on having kids either, but from a hypothetical standpoint, I also think he'd probably want to wait a bit but make sure that he's on the same page as his partner (and in this case, that would be Bojan 🥰).

I imagine that it's something both of them would really only consider when their pace of life has slowed right down and they are able to step back from commitments for an extended amount of time, so I can see them both being between the ages of 30-35 in this hypothetical scenario. maybe one day Bojan mentions something about having kids off-handedly to Kris for no other reason than the fact it's just been on his mind lately, although maybe it's also subconsciously to gauge a reaction. Kris doesn't think he's entirely serious at first, he's just doing that thing he sometimes does where he thinks and fantasises about the future out loud, but then he takes a look at Bojan's face after he's quiet for a moment and sees something there in his eyes. then, they both realise that actually, maybe this is something they do both want and maybe, finally, they are ready for it.

they might talk about adoption and I can totally see them doing that, however, I remember Bojan saying about wanting at least 2 kids so what if they also considered surrogacy... one time with Bojan's genes and one time with Kris'.

aaaaand one final thought about them as parents: they would both absolutely dote on their children, but if they were going to be assigned into the stereotype, Bojan would be the "fun parent" and Kris would be the "strict parent" (although I use the word "strict" very loosely - I just think he'd be a little more so than Bojan who would absolutely act like a kid himself at times when interacting with their children 😭)

You ever think abt how weird it is that four months of being away from your childhood home and your family can change you as a person to such a massive extent? Yeah. yea.

[nervocat]

Ok guysss going to watch castlevania again after months

[expectiations]

okay hi I'm back in my yapping era. remember how I crow about how different versions of the Master went 😠🤨🧐🤔😐😑😬😍😔😬😡😈🙂‍↕️👿🫠😘🤩🥴🤪🤗🤠 at River Song? I thought what if (that's where it all really starts doesn't it?) there was this fic where there were two Masters – i have Missy as the other Master in mind, Spy Master could be the other one – and the other Master was tryna hurt River or threaten her or whatever and then Missy just steps up and puts River behind her and goes "you wanna hUrt HeR? You have to g0 through ME first." and everyone's just 🤨❓❔⁉️🤔🧐😐👍🏻😬

I'd love to interact with the ethel cain fandom on here a little more but im lowkey kind of worried about my reception from certain groups of people bc im like. a guy.

The concept of childhood trauma is so nuts to me because it's usually portrayed by the media in *extreme* ways, as if only extreme conditions may result in trauma, when it's not always like that.

Especially if we're talking about newborns of toddler. The smaller the child, the easier is to fuck up and nope, it doesn't matter that they "won't remember". Their body does. The body always fucking remembers.

And it lowkey drives me "insane" because sometimes a bad or complicated childbirth is *enough* to accidentally "fuck up". And of course it's not something anyone can predict. Accidents happens, but what makes me "!!!" is how much more impactful this shit is to babies.

Like hey, your mom was stressed during the first months of your life? Great! You may now be more prone to depression or anxiety when you become an adult!

And sometimes the impact on their everyday life is actually pretty severe. And it sucks because you don't even *remember* that part of your life yk.

Anyway. Kids are so easy to fuck up, easier than we imagine, and I wish this type of trauma was more talked about lol.

[affluent-havoc]

Back from playing some Chapter 2 of THH and my gooooosh. I'm trying so hard to take Byakuya seriously and I have at some moments. At the same time though, it's so haaaard! He's so dweeby looking and I know the narrative is trying to make me be intrigued and like "OOooOOO look at this mysterious guy being all mysterious and sinister." But, I just can't! At least not now. Feel I might feel something else once I actually get to the trial (even though I know exactly what's going to happen). For now though, he's just too stupid looking for me to be intimidated in any way. It doesn't help that any messed up stuff he's said so far isn't like, bad?? Sure, making Chihiro cry isn't exactly something one should be proud of him for. How dare he make Chihiro cry! Shame on him! At the same time though, it's more of just like "We be in a killing game" and "Friendship isn't magic, gang". In some ways, he does have a point despite how awful it sounds too. Additionally, sometimes I feel he could just be a lot meaner and he's oddly tame despite this being the doomsday chapter for any Byakuya fan. Maybe it's because with all the fan works I've seen where he's honestly way worse than in canon, anything he says that might've been remotely extreme just feels null to me. Also, again, most stuff is more or less just him affirming the situation their in, how much he's not planning on being buddy-buddy with everyone, and how he sees himself as superior. It also doesn't help with how dramatic the music is (which I am so down for ngl. I'd head bang if I could) which is signaling how "super awful" he's being. Though it just seems a bit too much when he's not being horrendously despicable. And, don't get me wrong! I'm not happy with him! Just shaking my head as he drags Makoto along while being all annoying whenever I click something that isn't the thing he wants me to look at. Like, don't yap at me when I'm looking around in the library that YOU dragged me to, Mister! Half of the extension cord is CLEARLY missing!! And, damn. He just seems like some whiny petulant brat bossing Makoto around honestly. So goofily though cus I know what happens in the chapter and I know what he knows and the way he's pulling Makoto along like he's so proud of his handiwork. He's such a nerd. Such a dweeb. Like, that scene when the group are worried about where the hell he is when he was just chilling in the library. For one, man sounded so damn calm talking to Makoto. Not even a hint of being pissed or anything at the beginning. Just kinda matter-of-fact with a slight bit of sass. But also, once he really started being shitty like, it just felt so DUMB! Like how everyone around him was like "Damn. He's smiling so creepy" but, for one, how am I do judge something I'm not allowed to see? Not like they gave him a CG of that said sinister smile. Also, every time I attempt to visualize it it just gets worse. Cus I KNOW he can be cool to me and kinda bad ass and even a bit sinister too! I know he's capable of it! But it's just not clicking with this dialogue for me. Every attempt my brain makes to think of him with a sinister smile just makes me laugh from how dumb and uncool he looks even though he probably thinks he's hot shit while being all pompous like that. Another thing I want to mention, and I have no way to segue into this, but when Byakuya said he was "having fun" with the killing game DAMN IT! It so goofy of him to say he's having fun while his sprite screams constipated energy. And, to top it all off, he's not going to get any better in the sense of "Byakuya being so cool and calculating" once Chapter 2 ends. And, in a way, I like that. If only Mondo and Aoi were allowed by the narrative to beat him up more. Such a shame u_u

You all best be so excited my final exam is in 3 days and after that I'll have 3 months of free time to write so much fanfiction
