#maybe a lot of people wouldnt think to explore !!

[puppyeared]

for like 3 weeks i was wondering why i was sleeping so much and felt listless. and just now I managed to email 3 people and responded to a month old message in the span of an hour because I got back to TAKING MY FUCKIN MEDS..........

i just straight up dont think that yaoi or slashfic is about girls fetishizing gay men like it wouldnt be such a Thing that exists if thats ENTIRELY what it was.

i feel like there was an article about yaoi as a way for women to explore darker tropes in romance which i dont agree with because women have been writing straight romance with dark tropes since forever but the reason that article was torn apart was just to immediately dismiss the entire concept of BL as women fetishizing gay men. am i making sense lmao.

i dont DISAGREE that there were and are a lot of people whose only/earliest/most prominent exposure to queerness has been through slashfic / fandom shipping / BL and that can have an unfortunate side effect of not knowing how to handle queerness in real life but thats usually just the case for young people who learn and grow out of it AND!!!!! we live in current year where people are just more open about queerness and theres more real life stories out there and more representation out there

i guess maybe there IS something to be said about women using the lens of a queer male relationship in order to explore darker tropes being kinda weirdly heteronormative but also maybe a way to fantasize about such things without having it involve any dark tropes toward women, and we can talk about THAT cuz i think THAT could be an interesting path to explore and discuss, but it always just kinda ends at "fujos bad women who fetishize gay men are bad" etc without any further nuance

or we could talk about the fact that male writers just dont know how to write women so the closest relationships ALWAYS end up being between men even when the male lead has a female love interest, so those male relationships tend to be what people gravitate toward

or we could talk about how a lot of the women who write M/M are queer themselves! many are even lesbians! but theyre still just women who fetishize gay men so i guess thats all there is to it

its almost like its misogyny all the way down or something idk

a very popular headcanon people have (i Think its popular. at least a lot of my twitter mutuals agreed with me a while back) is that joker comes from inaba, and if youve played p4 you know that theres literally nothing to do there

so a big headcanon that i used to be obsessed with is that he would spend a lot of his days skateboarding or biking around listening to music and exploring old dirt roads.. and he ended up getting a special interest in bugs and reptiles because hed come across so many during his little solo adventures. hes also very well versed in fishing its not a fixation or anything but just something hes pretty good at

this is why i tend to draw joker like some sort of skater boy. i think hes always stood out a lot in this small town even before the false assault charge, like he wasnt disliked or bullied but he just didnt really fit in. and this didnt bother him. i think he only realized how boring his life was when he became a phantom thief and got all these new friends in this new big city that understood him despite the circumstances that led him here. like man i really used to live like that and see nothing wrong with it? i didnt yearn for more?

it makes it even more painful when he has to leave and they naturally drift apart. because they all have dreams and ambitions, and the best years of their lives are waiting for them around the corner. but joker is back in this small town where theres nothing to do but hang out in some food court or poke around in the woods. i imagine this newfound loneliness is really hard on him, not to mention the guilt for feeling like hes somehow to blame for. well, whatever happened with goro

to me personally i think goro lived. i think he mustered up the perseverance to bite and claw his way out of shidos palace after seeing that even someone like him has a chance at being loved, he just didnt really remember this in marukis reality because it was all a blur. so both goro and joker were completely clueless as to what his fate would be if they went back to their true reality, which is what was so scary. the uncertainty. he could very well be dead but how could they know for sure? i just dont like the thought of him dying before he could truly live, even though i understand the tragedy of it can be poetic, i just cant stand for him going out like that because i relate a lot to his struggles. and i think it would go against the overall positive message of p5r. sure not everybody gets to have a second chance or a happy ending, but. man. anyways

joker fully believes goro is dead though. he wouldnt be crazy to assume this considering how they parted ways in shidos palace. but it eats away at him and maybe he really does go crazy. maybe his life feels like its stuck in time and while his old friends are out chasing their dreams, hes stuck. broken and shattered over feeling like he couldve done something to save him, knowing jokers savior/martyr complex

im running out of steam and i didnt mean to ramble on about my post-p5r headcanons but, to wrap it up: goro is in rehab somewhere and has a service dog to help with his dissociation and mood swings. and a couple other stuff. he feels like if he walks back into jokers life itll mess something up like joker will just break down or something. so he keeps his distance until they cross paths again. im just very obsessed with the idea of goro getting his life together vs joker wanting so badly to chase that high of phantom thievery again but failing and being actually so depressed

man morgana must be exhausted

[eddiegettingshot]

Seriously there are a lot of bad buck-centric takes/tropes on here but the one that chris thinks eddie will push buck away is the absolute worst to me like 1. Chris loves buck but eddie is his dad and he wants eddie to be happy and eddie has never actively pushed anyone out of chris’s life nor has chris expressed worry eddie would do so. He actively keeps his shitty parents in his life and is trying to fix his relationship with them so chris can have a relationship with them as well. and 2. Chris and buck’s relationship is actually quite separate from eddie in canon like the only signification chris/buck development that I can think of that eddie was present for was maybe 3x12 ? And 4x14 I suppose. But if (strong if here) chris were ever worried about buck leaving if something bad happened with eddie it is something that would and should be explored via a buck/chris conflict and not a eddie/chris conflict. Because it is a sentiment that is tied to buck and chris in 4x08, not anything that has happened between eddie and chris. (And also if buck ever “left” it wouldnt even be because eddie did something I think. It would be because buck perceived himself as in the wrong and would be giving eddie and chris space) Also 3. chris is like soo much older than he was in s4 now, and is also written as older/more mature in canon and it would be nice if fanon/headcanons could keep up

yes literally all of this and. well honestly i’m not even saying that it’s not a realistic response i guess? like it’s not out of the realm of possibility. but by no means do i believe it’s the most likely AND it has very quickly become THE singular conflict that anyone can conceive of. half the time it doesn’t even come across as being written based on chris’s character but on what people themselves think about eddie’s relationships (and my BIGGEST pet peeve is when people act like he’s been regularly externalizing his issues with shannon when that is quite literally the opposite of what he does!!!!!!). it’s just so unenjoyable like probably my least favorite thing to read about at the moment. and it’s EVERYWHERE. so.

[ultimateloserboy]

every once in a while i think about that one interview where the creators of dhmis said that yellow guy was the only character capable of actually exploring the world. it makes me think a lot. especially about the big boys.

sometimes i think that maybe red guy and duck got stuck in the big boys rooms because of how bitter they are. in the creators own words, yellow guy is the only one in the group that is willing to actually look into things without being overly cynical about everything. red guy and duck slowly give in to the world, they slowly lose faith in being good people and see no reason to be good at all. they lose their hope for anything better. they eventually end up with a “this is as good as it gets” attitude. this is why i think there isnt a big version of yellow guy. because yellow guy NEVER thinks like that. with or without his batteries yellow guy doesnt think like the other two. they think too negatively to even consider a positive outcome, while yellow guy, as bonkers as he usually is, has a more reasonable look at things because he isnt miserably bitter

i know that the big boys recognize yellow guy when he walks in, i think the bigger boys even asked him where he had been or something like that. “we’ve been waiting for you” or something. i dont think this implies that yellow guy has a big counterpart, i think this is a callback to what yellow guy said earlier in the episode. he had a whole conversation about how the other two “arent in charge of him” despite what they may think. red guy and duck think that yellow guy will go along with anything they do. if they get bigger they expect yellow guy to as well. it might be because they view him as stupid, or it could be because they’re always stuck together so they assume he’ll be apart of everything they do, but either way they expect him to give up on the world like they do. but he doesnt. no matter what happens, yellow guy has the childhood wonder and curiosity that red guy and duck are too grouchy and old to have. thats why he finds the book, thats why he knows what he does and asks what he asks, not because of the batteries, but because hes kind. red guy and duck destroy themselves and each other. they think theyre sooo fucking smart but theyre literally doing nothing. just sitting around in rooms. but yellow guy has hope despite everything. i dont have faith that theres anything better in the dhmis world. honestly, im pretty sure in the same article i was mentioning earlier (although it could be a different one) its mentioned that the audience want yellow guy to be happy but he “NEVER will be”. and the transport episode really drives home (haha get it) the idea that theres really nothing better outside of the house. so even me as an audience member has lost faith, just like red guy and duck, but yellow guy hasnt and thats so sad to me. theres a part of me that wishes so bad that he’s right, that there really is something better, but as the creators said, there never will be

unless theyre fucking with us of course, which wouldnt be surprising

idk this shits confusing its all metaphorical and sad and all that gay shit

thoughts on shadow generation

now that im done playing the story here are some of my thoughts:

the cut scenes are so good, although the detail on the model's fur/texture is a bit distracting (it's not a bad thing)

the flavour text is great! we get to see some insight on maria's and shadow's relationship on the ark, as well as the other characters relationship towards shadow

maybe it's the fact that this is my 2nd sonic game, but it's boring that all enemies have the same attack pattern: staying still until you come closer, then they shoot projectiles

hades 2 spoiled me for combat lol

it's so nice to see shadowing emoting again

i approve this game for people awful at platformers (signed by me, a person who sucks at them)

its really easy to fall off the ledge or miss homing shots at enemies/bounce pads if you arent paying attention

removing lives is handy

there were some areas i couldnt find, so i had to use a walkthrough just to get back to mephiles' area once i had all the keys

actually i fell off the path going to the black moon, so i had recollect rings and figure out how to get back up there again. not fun

i spent so long on the last phase of neo devil doom bc i kept running out of rings

sucks there's no checkpoint for that, but it is the final boss

would have been cool to see shadow introduce his friends to his family, but time paradox i guess

wish the doom morph could be activated at will so i can show maria squidow

actually rouge not commenting on his wings is a missed moment (dont think i saw mention of it in the compilations)

There are a lot of callbacks and references to past events

The anniversary manga is one of them (shadows name origin)

Shadow and Maria's relationship is a standout

some speculation:

Sad that shadow probably ended worse off emotionally at the end of it

if the timeline is intact, gerald probably died enraged at shadow too, since even his past fatherly feelings didnt stop him from writing over shadow's mind

there's no way they wouldnt expand on maria's little sister since they added her in

they probably dont know about ivo/eggman since there's no mention of him in the journals, and maria doesnt mention cousins

so eggman might have been born after the ark tragedy

which makes it funnier that shadow will be older than eggman, and his adoptive uncle

someone else mentioned it, but it's surprising that they deconfirmed the mural theory, since gerald respected the land too much to explore it or see the master emerald shrine

maria mentioned being surprised that he popped out as a hedgehog, and gerald's journal just calls him a sturdy biped. which means the species was not planned

so shadow really is a black arms in the shape of a hedgehog

there goes the theory that there's a hedgehog donor out there

would have been funny if it was a male hedgehog that donated some samples

then shadow gets 3 dads yay

actually would gerald go far enough to use maria's DNA to create shadow? for the gene compatibility if he managed to remove some of the markers for NIDs?

the manga showed blood transfusion, and that would only work if he had a suitable blood type

apparently it is possible for animal blood to be used in transfusion, just not worth it bc of antibodies?

someone who knows about biology correct me, i just did a quick google search

that would make shadow a black arms/human/hedgehog hybrid (if hedgehog dna was even used)

overall, very fun, and the main story can be completed in 6 hours.

now let's see if i can finish all the achievements after beating sonic gens...

[osomatsuconfessions]

vaping and general smoking thoughts long long long

osomatsu: sticks with just cigarettes mostly, antiquated frame of reference where old and comfortable is the best with little change allowed. matsuzou smokes so i think oso just followed by example and liked the relaxed feeling and repetition aspect. he would maybe try a vape under the idea that a buzz is a buzz and a buzz feels good but would find the synthetic taste and experience to be offputting. has many complaints that comically go against audience expectation: 'whats the point! it doesnt even smell bad! it doesnt even make YOU smell bad! it doesnt even make my lungs burn!' etc etc

karamatsu: impossibly weak nicotine tolerance, smoked one cigarette and got extremely sick and took it as an omen. wouldnt vape because sucking on a little rectangle doesnt line up with his idea of coolness. holds cigarettes and cigars in his mouth to get the image of being intimidating and tough without ever lighting them.

choromatsu: WOULD be interested in vaping out of the fear of what smoking is actively doing to his body and what it says about his restraint and responsibility over himself by putting his lungs in danger, plus (kiddish and so, hard to admit) the flavors sound appealing. would sneak hits of tottys vape really obviously in the middle of the house any time hes not around and would over time want to start branching out with different pods, making his own rankings in his head. choro does not see this as lame but instead something akin to taking up wine tasting as a hobby (same level of prestige in his mind but less cost so its even better. hes even better). writes whole entries in a journal bought specifically for this purpose about the notes and undertones and things. to him this is for explorational AND educational purposes. this is the hobby of a discerning mind. this is not him being addicted to drugs. this is not JUST some guy vaping a ton for the sake of vaping its DIFFERENT. the other matsus find the journal and mock choro and his analysis of unicorn 50w by reciting passages back to his while she goes catatonic and silently switches back to cigarettes. never gets any buzz ever again from the insane tolerance build up but will never share this fact or think deeper about what it says about his habits

ichimatsu: explicitly doesnt smoke nor would vape. shit in his lungs is shit in his lungs it all sucks

jyushimatsu: intermittent cigarette smoker just whenever the chance presents itself. in line with him sharing the coffee milk with osomatsu where its probably more about the taste and getting to chug it and spin around than the effects of caffeine, its a vessel for comedy and appearances (for reference humor to specific archetypes or doing physically impossible tricks) and stuff more than an actual enjoyment of nicotine. he probably finishes other peoples but doesnt start his own. also thinking of jyushimatsus fixation with chewing and teething on shit like cybers heads or the lollipops theres no way hes not chomping the shit out of the filters. i think vapes initially would kind of confuse him same as all the others, but hed be reeled in by the idea of super sweet flavors and the comedic potential of making giant clouds. hed be like a fog machine. teeth marks on the vape too nothings safe if its going in there

todomatsu: would vape, specifically orange or strawberry pods. totty also doesnt really get it but it SEEMS like its hip cause there was a lot of buzz about it a couple years ago and he is forever multiple seasons late to any kind of trend so hes more than willing. hitting it around other people makes him feel like his fingers on the pulse of modern culture and not a guy who spends his time gambling and fishing like an old man. confidence booster plus he thinks it makes you smell better to women, especially compared to tobacco smoke, which is another plus (and cuts down on buying gas station perfume 2 in 1 bargain). when not accompanied by people totty means to impress (the other matsus) he would smoke cigarettes. he (like the rest) is a fiend of habit and behaviors set by osomatsu especially are ingrained so its pretty inevitable that he followed along in earlier adult years and then got hooked. but by s3 hed give it up more (riceballs using their electronic vape things further pushing the idea that this is futuristic and impressive and something that they should get with the times on, which totty would feel self conscious about not understanding/already doing + additionally having already made his extreme departure from following osomatsus actions beat for beat as he otherwise was predisposed to in s1) but would have an itch for it that hed mostly only scratch when drunk or making excuses. to compensate for his late switchover and to further distinguish himself as The Sextuplet In The Know Of Things hed rub in their faces how bad tobacco is for your lungs and how hes gonna live way longer and chide them about how they prioritize getting a hit in over living a long time like 'good luck having sex when youre DEAD with TAR LUNGS idiots!!!' when asked how vapes are at all better for your lungs he goes silent and looks away

[wardenofthecoast]

I do hope to make a long form video/rant about the topic of skyrim, why i loved/love it and its perception and improvements Id do and surface level changes id perform. But right now.im gonna rant nonsensically on tumblr

But for me, I think the biggest mistake people talking about Skyrim isnt that it couldve been better, but that we're lucky it was as good as it was, but that fact is itself a tradgedy.

Quick example: Werewolves were originally going to just replace ur head with a wolves head. And thats it. Like dog khajiit. but thanks to a singular designer, we had the cool looking werewolves in the game, which look appropriatey monstrous.

I watched a video from 9 developers who worked on Skyrim and the amount of times what we would consider key features were dangerously close to never appraching. And yes, that also means that some stuff doesnt make the cut, but that is ultimately how game development goes in western countries barring the odd exception.

It really makes me appreciate Skyrim again for how much passion and effort was put into it. Like some guy spent hours making concept art for meat. Yet its seen as not valuable due to Skyrim's overall design and Bethesda's decisions over the years burning a lot of goodwill.

But maybe thats the issue, you can have a lot of talented sailors but if ur captain is not steering right, its just not going to fly. There are legit criticisms of Skyrim's overall design being too.. rudderless and fragmented. Like that lime about so many coffins but no one telling u to look up.

I'll end this with my fave memory of Skyrim, when I was 14, never heard much of PC gaming/online communties nor of the elder scrolls and had just bought Skyrim. To head to Morthal, I ended up passing through the labyrinthian, and had to deal with a frost troll which my underlevled ass was struggling with, until I eventually got oast him.

And it was crazy to me to just randomly explore and pass through this cool ruins that wouldnt come into play much later. The exploration of Skyrim is its best yet most underutilized features.

[romainlettusdinnerparty]

same anon! rly like your thoughts and rly love the topic of boundaries I think that's so realistic, as simple as even will accepting himself earlier on and explicitly knowing where and how he might like mike's dick, for example, might make him think it's "too gay" when he finally gets it and it's hard to be open and honest, even with so much trust.

I see what you're saying with the mike bottoming point, I'm also a huge fan of him not staring off doing it and then being curious too, it's just more different than him btming right away, that feels like him for sure. he enjoys the feeling. I really understand your point about mike feeling the need to be useful or needed (and always hope he gets to work on those insecurities!) but I also like the thought that he simply enjoys the act of topping despite any initial insecurity? I feel like actually enjoying the position goes unsaid a lot in gay sex discussions, it's often focused on bottoming, but I see it for him. his confident era! it's not a chore or he doesn't secretly not like it. maybe it stays his preference after bottoming too if they'er not 50/50 switch but regardless of that I agree he would be too curious not to try! and yes to will being willing and them both trying things or working on that sexual chemistry.

I think I started answering your question in my own ramble, above is how I do start to see their dynamic evolving. they experiment but have their preferences. I think maybe they switch more as they go? but if one had a preference it wouldn't be uncommon to roll with that either. ik some people are very into the dominant and sub dynamics in the sexual world but I don't see byler having one dynamic their whole life. like when I see talk of mike staying sub and being dominated with no control in bed his whole life I just don't vibe with that, it feels too fantastical and lowk I can't see will sticking to dominating so constantly. those dynamics are not vital to sex. I like them to have a variety even if they have a preference. now that I'm talking about it though for will's sub moments I do like that hc that he helps heal his trauma and has control/power by letting go and being submissive or trying bondage, he's been interested for years but scared because he thinks he shouldn't be into it. I think that spices things up and is good growth for him. maybe they do explore every facet like you said and know what works/doesnt, very common for gay men then to let off that repressed pent up energy with an active sex life! I think they have ways to surprise and keep it spicy because their adult life isn't just one routine and there's sudden opportunities to be spontaneous, maybe that's a basic answer sorry but when you think about it for byler specific scenarios do start coming to mind.

thanks!

oh i love everything in here, not basic at all, and if anything is basic its because its a good take!!

i love everything you’re saying about mike also just enjoying topping, like it’s definitely not something he secretly hates or is only comfortable with it because he’s insecure and thinks will wouldnt want something else. i think it should also be said that mike needing to feel needed and useful is not always a bad thing and we see that in why him and will are compatible just emotionally as well. will makes mike feel needed and useful, and while he should learn that he has value outside of that i don’t think learning that lesson would ever make feeling needed feel bad for him? i think that’s applicable here. first of all topping probably just feels great for him but he also loves to be the one causing such pleasurable reactions from will, he gets to be in control of that pleasure will is receiving. if will wants to feel like that, mike has to be the one to provide that. it’s crazy that he can do something - thrust at a specific pace, a specific angle, say something just right - and it turns will into putty in his hands, he gets to do that to him. and that will never lose its effect. ( i think it also has to be said that mike can’t not enjoy topping with will having the ass he does,, that’s just not a thing) i really think that mike would enjoy bottoming and it would be insanely vulnerable for him and outside of his comfort zone but i don’t think that means he would enjoy topping any less because of that.

i totally agree with you on the sub vs dom thing. i think it’s very fun to explore but it’s such a drastic contrast from their every day that i don’t think that would ever be something they are going to naturally fall into on the daily without any outside influence. i think there are gonna be some days where will is feeling like he really needs to get dominated by mike and some days where he looks at mike and really wants to dominate him, and same goes for mike. but i also imagine sometimes sex is just really not about that for them - they’re a team, they work together to make each other feel good and i think that’s what a lot of their sex would end up looking like. that might be a very vanilla take but idk i just don’t see everything being so intense with them at all times. so totally agree with you with will’s trauma though and leaning into that in a safe, controlled environment. i imagine, with the childhood they had consisting of otherworldly monsters, they both have kinks and interests that arise specifically because of that and they’re able to find enough safety in their relationship and in each other that they can explore. and you’re so right,, their adult life won’t just be routine, they’ll go through new things, have new experiences, and want to try new things!! and when they are completely settled in their relationship, trying those new things will always turn out at least a little good because they know each other and how they tick!! even if they don’t exactly like everything they try, they love each other, and how they make each other feel.

thank you thank you thank you for all of your thoughts, and if you ever wanna send me more about those specific scenarios i will be all ears!!

[puhpandas]

I don't think people explore the concept of Evan afton + charlie Emily's relationship enough. theres a lot of potential with Charlie possessing the puppet with no help from giving gifts before Evan's death and maybe being the reason he possesses golden Freddy at all. it's safe to assume he didnt immediately die inside Fredbear and wouldnt normally possess it. the other kids were stuffed inside. so Charlie having a hand in it would be so interesting because maybe she had a close relationship with Evan and wanted to save him so much

it also works if Evan died first. it would mean that Evan possessed golden Freddy with no help and then Charlie went on to possess the puppet with no help as well. they both are special because of that and are seen as kind of the Angel's of the spirits. they would also be the only dead spirits for a while until the mci, and then the others + cassidy would come along

idk think theres some untapped potential. I love the Michael and Charlie ideas ppl have and would love to see some with Evan and Charlie =) they're both portrayed as kind people and spirits and I think if Charlie was so kind maybe she'd choose to be Evan's ally+friend while they were alive during Evan getting bullied. then they'd go on to have special roles in the spirit era

[hauntedjohnny]

just wanted to let you know that johnnys-breastmilk is a proshipper in case you didn’t know <33

hi i know you mean well but i am well aware of the people i interact with. me and the block button are close friends <3 theres been a lot of hostility from both sides this week so here's grounds for a calmer discussion about it.

honestly i think the pro/anti ship labels are reductive and redundant. just because someone explores darker themes in their writing/hcs doesnt mean theyre open to ship anything. there is no definition to what being 'proship' is other than letting people use their creative outlet to explore whatever themes they want. would i identify with this? no because i have limits. just like you. just like J-B. but do i also believe people should be policed into only writing socially acceptable themes and relationships? also no. the thing about the limits is that it looks different for everyone. am i a proshipper for writing and enjoying noncon fics? to some people yes! to some people no! would i write and enjoy underage or beastiality fic? no because theyre hard limits for me (and probably are for a lot of people). to some people we're all in the same immorality boat but i think there's a nuance that an all-encompassing label refuses to acknowledge. 'proship' is reductive because it doesnt actually MEAN anything. sure they could be a genuinely harmful person and hurting a community through their content but 95% of the time theyre not!

when it comes to something like incest (hot topic in the tcm fandom) maybe take a moment and consider why someone would be into a topic like that, why they enjoy exploring that theme in a safe way through writing or drawing etc. sure fiction can affect reality but often times reality also affects fiction. im not saying you have to enjoy the posts but opening your mind and offering some grace to the people who need an outlet explore these themes doesnt hurt.

in the early days of this fandom i did not enjoy seeing incest posts (specifically johnny/sissy*) so i did what i know best: block the blogs and blacklisted the tags. it worked !! as time has passed ive become much more open to the themes of incest in tcm. for me, when i interact with these themes its not to fulfil some kind of desire, it's usually analytical discussion: realistically what would these people do? what dynamics are formed if you introduced these themes? you unlock a world of potential by looking at things through a lense you normally wouldnt, especially a taboo one. however, just because this is how i prefer to interact with these topics, it doesnt make the people who have a more emotional connection to them any weirder than me, if anything i find myself grateful to not have an emotional reaction strong enough to the point of needing an outlet to process them and you should too!

*i later realised that the reason i initally didn't vibe with johnny/sissy was actually because i didnt enjoy the way people characterised them in that dynamic and not because of the 'incest' (theyre not even related lol).

i just think everyone should be a bit more open-minded and nicer to eachother. and this goes both ways. im not saying you have to be into this shit. if you arent then block it and move on without whining about it in the tags. if you are into it you have to accept that not everyone is. just block any disingenious comments/questions. you will not change their mind.

tldr; im not one to post too much about taboo topics like incest/necro etc but im not gonna hate or even disagree with people who do. if you get genuinely mad over this then just take a moment to think about what kind of people post about darker topics and why they may need to do so.

[rexonalapis]

I miss wrio and I love your thoughts on him. So if it’s alright, could you share your current brain worms on him? Canon/Hc’s are okay :D

When will hoyo let him out of the dungeon😔 I need more quests and events dedicated to him he deserves it!!!

hahaha thanks! well i don't wanna spoil much but let's just say he is more than getting out of hoyojail in 4.7 (allegedly) 😉

i feel like i def write lots oh hcs about him (wrio being scottish, or that he's actually well read, etc etc) but yeah i think he still has great potential to be explored despite the fact that i can't really see his role expands after archon quest (with the exception of maybe a quest in relation to, say, regrator.)

also he seems to uphold some sort of agreement with callas and i feel like the last chance for hoyo to reveal it is by adding it into clorinde's sq/character story.

i have a few thoughts about why he loves tea so much tho. i def think sige 'i am fontaine's esteemed beauty guru' winne would Not want him to drink coffee ofc, but also it's just not as addictive as coffee and i can imagine relying on a caffeinated drink while you used to have to pay for a glass of water wouldnt be a good idea for survival. like ofc he doesn't have to worry about that now. he, if i assume right, could be the richest person in fontaine, but yeah it does become a habit i guess. it's good to constantly keep himself warm while he's living under the sea with a cryo vision without having to worry about upsetting his stomach

(side note my pet peeves is when people make an au where wrio is like a dumb jock because like where did you even get the idea that wriothesley is dumb? he is canonically a self made tech tycoon?? make it make sense???)

[macdenlover]

the parasocial relationship ive fallen into with these 3 middle aged men combined with my autism super powers of pattern recognition has given me profound (and maybe delusional, who knows) insight into their minds and realistically here’s where i think they all land on macdennis.

i think charlie is the most on board with it but in a casual wouldnt-that-be-pretty-funny way and i think his biggest gripe with it would be them eventually running out of ways to make it fit the comedy of the show once the initial chaos of it dies down. rob is probably the most into taking on the sheer newness of exploring a relationship dynamic like that but he’s also very analytical and his gripe would be whether or not it would stray too far from the premise of the show and he’d possibly be worried about it turning into a “gay show” because of the ratio. and now for my most controversial take yet i think glenn is the least on board with macdennis especially when it comes to making dennis canonically queer. i get the vibes that he would think making dennis bisexual or whatever would send the wrong message because having a character as despicable and as “sexually deviant” as dennis be ACTUALLY gay would come across as them vilifying queer people. which rob would then push back against saying there’s bad people out there who just Happen to be gay there’s nothing wrong with putting that on television. (i’m starting to suspect glenn not being there is the reason they were able to push the envelope so much with them in s13-14.) I think they’ve had serious in depth conversations about their relationship and their plan has been to just keep postponing it until they figure out if they want to proceed with it later or just let it fizzle out into nothing. it’s definitely not at the forefront of their minds when they make the show but it’s back there somewhere for sure. the biggest hurdle i think they’re getting to especially this far into the show is deciding how heavily they want to lean into the commentary/satire aspect and how much they want to lean into the characters and their personal motivations— because a lot of the time the two blend together really well but with something like macdennis, as funny as it may be, it would require them to either lose the satire, have the relationship be unintentionally read as satire in a way that comes across as homophobic, or they’d have to find some way to incorporate satire into that storyline in way that’s successful AND true to their sense of humor AND would deflect from them being gay (like making fun of traditional couple tropes? idk). i think at some point they’re gonna hit “fuck it” and finally pull the trigger but that’s gonna be when the show has nothing left to lose. as for s16 im predicting there’s gonna be some significant macden moments but i don’t think it’s actually going canon yet.

again these are just my thoughts if you think im totally off i’d love to know

[crumchycow]

a get to know you better meme

thanks for the tag @thestrangeillusion

do you make your bed?

Nope never, if something doesn't need to be tidied it will not be tidied, have left a bucket in the middle of my room for 9 months because of this.

what's your favourite number?

Don't have one

what is your job?

Currently just a student I kinda need to get a job but studying and working is a lot for me and acquiring a job is annoying and hard so uethggghhhh

If you could go back to school would you?

Um will I continue studying? Maybe....

can you parallel park?

No

a job you had that would surprise people?

None? Probably the most interesting way I have earned money is the only commission I've ever had, which was my mum commissioning me for her work (kindergarten) because they needed 30 little icon drawings that each kid has at like their bag hook and on their stuff to identify them, she didn't like the person who used to do it because they were weird about it for some reason and the designs were kinda cluttered and ugly so my mum was like my child can draw? Yes! and this way I can be really fussy and specific with it.

(dw she paid me quite well)

do you think aliens are real?

In the sense of any life existing outside of earth? yes 100% would be weird if there isn't. In the sense of complex or intelligent life? probably. In the sense of there are human equivalent creatures that have achieved space travel and are equally or more technologically advanced than us, unlikely but possible. Just thinking about how much time life has existed without humans and how long humans have existed before any ideas of space exploration and the very specific technologies and discoveries that were necessary for space exploration I wouldn't be surprised if we are the only ones. Also just like how incredibly difficult space travel beyond our solar system is I think it's unlikely we will truly know or make contact.

can you drive a manual car?

No :) do not care to learn. fuck cars and driving is boring i only learn to drive because its kinda necessary where i live :( get me good public transport government please

what's your guilty pleasure?

im guilty about alot things like drinking milk, eating too much sugar, spending too much money, doing literally anything i will find a way to feel guilty about it but thats just my general state of being since i was a child and i mostly ignore it or work around it.

I guess in the more traditional sense of things i like that are embarrassing and i wouldnt want people to know, it would be reading fucked up smut. Particularly my fondness for incest ships? Don't know why I suspect it is the codependency. but yeah umm...

Tattoos?

Not yet but I wanna get a spider (not decided which) on my back soon.

favourite colour?

Peach

favourite type of music?

Um I mostly listen to kpop because uh autism? idk, but I genuinely like a lot of music. Some of my favourite music is like objectively awful and difficult to listen to, I think I often like music that is complex and has lots of things.

Some of my favourite artists trying to include multiple genres I like:

Mamamoo

Stray Kids

Taemin

F.T. island

Jeff Satur

S3rl

Enaria

Chopin (I'm learning one of his preludes atm it's v pretty)

Vivaldi

BabyBeard

GHOST (vocaloid producer)

also gregorian chants slap (not christian, vocal harmonies just make me feral)

do you like puzzles?

Yes! I just recently was like y'know what I haven't done in years but suddenly really need to do:

But also just generally like I LOVE maths and figuring out things and patterns and stuff so fun.

any phobias?

Nope

favourite childhood sport?

Um not that into sport, I guess I wanted to play netball when I was like 8 (but that might've just been because that's the thing you do) but I missed the trial periods 2 years in a row but kinda glad I didn't I know multiple people with permanent injuries from playing netball as a kid/teen and my joints are not the most functional in the first place. Do still enjoy playing casually every now and then.

do you talk to yourself?

Yes my favourite hobby, I have the best conversations with myself, will stay up for hours just talking to myself. Also great for preparing for real conversations. I love it when a topic I fully thought about and talked to myself comes up in conversation and it's like fuck yeah gonna ace this one.

what movie(s) do you adore?

Hmmm not the biggest fan of movie as a story format but uh have seen how to train your dragon at least 20 times and I need to watch it again sometime soon, been craving that animal/human enemies to deep emotional connection best buds.

coffee or tea?

Love coffee, but over half of my daily water consumption is through tea (usually multiple kinds)

Would be less alive without tea also its just like so diverse, green tea!black tea! rooibos! masala chai! rosehip! liquorice! peppermint..... camomile! and so much more with sugar! with milk! with honey! or lemon! hot! cold! literally my favourite, shoutout to whoever invented plant in water. Also soup different kind of plant in water but still absolutely banging humans peaked at plant in water best things invented.

and caffeine doesn't affect me like at all? so i only drink these things for taste.

first thing you wanted to be growing up?

Idk the first but I know at some stage I wanted to be an author or a marine biologist (why is this so common who put it in our heads? Actually maybe David Attenborough....) probably the first was an animal or something

egh its rambly and may not make sense but whatever, also revealing any information about myself on the internet scares me even though literally nobody could do anything with this information like guys pls dont dox me through knowing my mum is a kindergarten teacher

What would have happened if another entity had brought the Change: A The Magnus Archive Headcanon

!SPOILER WARNING! This post will explore themes of the Magnus Archive Lore, please be aware of spoilers.

So, in canon, i think its pretty much confirmed that The Change could only have been brought by the archivist. This is because the Archivist is the Archive of Fear. However, i believe that another avatar that might have had experience with all other entities might have also brought the Change, with the Host being another entity.

The Eye brought the Change as a circle around the Panopticon where the Eye can see all the others fears and their domains, but what would happen if, for example, the Buried would have brought the Change?, well thats what this post is, I will explore my headcanon of some of the entities as host of the Change.

The Buried: I believe the buried is the easiest to headcanon. I believe the Change World of the Buried is a labyrinth of underground tunnels with chambers for each domain, all of them of course in a constant state of near collapse to give the Buried the most fear. Now, some might think that this would go against the whole Only One Fear thing that Jonah Magnus said, so my proposal is that there WOULD be a exit to the labyrinth, a whole unending sky ruled by The Vast. There of course would be constant earthquakes in this world that periodically keep bringing back the people that were able to escape.

The Lonely: In a Lonely world I think that the geography wouldnt change that much, its of course so much lonely to see a city without people. However, there would also be a mist surrounding the whole world, so thick you cant see in front of you. I believe most people would be walking through the world in a constant escape of their own loneliness with every building being a fear domain; so in this world you're either alone or in constant fear of other entities. The Eye could benefit by having access to every single camera in the whole world. Now there is an obvious problem of that you could just not go into a fear domain, maybe there's a constant rain to make people go into the domain? this one needs a bit of work to make it make sense.

The Hunt: Now this is a personal favorite, i believe the whole world would be a giant forest, with fear domains being clearings in this forest. Now, apart from being tormented in fear domains, people would be hunted for their entire time in this world. I think a mix of paranoia with the constant fear of being watched and the feeling of a stranger lurking. This of course is very subjective as the Hunt is very primitive. I think it would also be fun having a normal neighborhood but full of police constantly wanting to catch you on a crime. This of course needs more work because people would have to either choose to be hunted or be in a fear domain, and killing them if the hunt catches to them would be very boring and would benefit too much to the End.

The Desolation: This would be very easy to say just like literal Hell full of Fire, but i fear that this may lean too much in the fire part of the Desolation. So instead i would argue that the whole world is in a constant Free for All with avatars having to run around the world fighting other entities in a constant stage of pain and loss. Of course, the lightless flame being the worst of them all, constantly terrorizing other domains by burning them to the ground. This one needs a lot of work. I havent tought of how the other fears would have domains.

This is all i have for now. I might make another post about the other entities.
