#maybe i can do some small things on mobile👀

[biitchcakes]

Hello hello !! I know it's been over a month since my last post on here anyway, but I figure it's time to officially make a HIATUS post. Even though I've not been on the computer in the last few weeks ( lurking here and there on mobile ), I know I'll definitely be without access to it from 14 July ⸺ 14 September !! ( and perhaps even into October, will update if so ! )

I'll still be popping in on the app from time to time, I'm not completely getting off the site, but writing here will definitely have to take a backseat ⸺ even more so than it already has, unfortunately. My goal once I'm back from this hiatus is to get back to writing, I do miss you guys and writing Jess so much 😭 I've just not had the time for tumblr lately.

To keep the blog active, over the next couple of days, I'm gonna try to queue up some posts for the next few weeks. See what else I can manage too while I'm at it, but I'm taking a trip ! (🥳) So I know the next few days are gonna be pretty busy with preparations and what not.

Hope to see you on the other side 🫡🖖💖

I decided to be sneaky sneak and go anon 👀

Hello Ms. Yen! I was wondering who you'd pair me with for Valentine's day 🥰

Likes: Art, Knitting/Crochet, Movies, Constant music playing (my life needs a soundtrack), candy, History, driving my friends crazy (lovingly), noodles 😫💜, cuddling and being cozy

Dislikes: mean-aggressive behaviour, partying, veggies, silence, the dark, my thassalophobia 💀🤣, scary movies!

I tend to put a lot of care into my loved ones (friends, family, etc) and try my best to make them happy. I hate when they're upset and will dive in right away to hug them and bring them comforting things. I can be very loud, giggly and bubbly but I can also be very quiet, withdrawn and shy. It really depends on how comfortable I am around an individual but also if I'm in a depressive spell. I have a small to negative tolerance for people being jerks to myself or to my loved ones. Will fight for them on a dime. (Also am totally willing to throw down if someone touches my wheelchair or mobility aid) But I'd rather be happy and cozy and loving than fighting...I just get protective of my ppls 😅

Thank you for your time and I hope you've been having fun doing these lovely matches! The Troops are lucky to have someone like you finding them matches for such a romantic day

😘💜💜💜

P.s.

If you haven't figured me out, it's @moonlightwarriorqueen 🤣

Again, thank you💜

Yen Ori'ken's Valentine's Day Matchmaker Services

Yen: I appreciate the flattery, but I also have to give credit to the full team over at Right to Love. The men of the GAR have their mission, we have ours and we're just as dedicated to it!

But in any case, @moonlightwarriorqueen, thank you for sending in your profile! I believe your match is likely ...

Commander Thorn of the Coruscant Guard.

Don't let the shock trooper title fool you, Thorn knows when it's time to work and when it's time to play. That's his whole motto - work hard, play hard. It may (or will, according to a note from Daria) give Commander Fox a headache from time to time, but Thorn's antics are always well intentioned, well controlled, and in good fun.

Your care for your loved ones and protectiveness of them rises to a level that Thorn previously only saw in his brothers. He's drawn in by that part of your personality and respects the hell out of it. He won't like you carrying all that negativity on your own, though. He'll always offer an ear for you to vent and get your plan of action straight (he will make sure that you do have a plan of action and help you organize your thoughts to better support yourself and others).

But if for any reason Thorn feels he needs to, he will absolutely step in to back you up. No one messes with you and if they're getting too fired up at you, then he will settle them down.

He definitely shares your love of history, though it'll take some adjustments to get him to focus on areas other than military history. Thorn isn't crafty himself, but he will wear any knitted/crocheted item you make for him with so much pride. He will be bragging to every single shock trooper and Senatorial aide he crosses paths with. (Fox is so close to asking you to stop so maybe a knitted mug cozy would be a nice gift for him, too).

He has a tiring job, so the idea of coming home to cuddle with you is heaven to Thorn. I believe an at-home movie night would be a perfect date for you. And don't worry, he'll pick up some fresh noodles and broth from your favorite place on the way over.

I hope you enjoy your date with Thorn, and thank you for writing in!

AaaaAAaaHhhhhhHhghgGGHHHg

OH MY GOD, ORTHO?????? ROBOBABY GOT A MAJOR GLOW UP??????????? AHHHHHHHHGGGHHhgHHHHHHGH I LOVE HIS FG SSR DESIGN??????????

Lemme ramble for a hot minute about it

My first thought is that Ortho’s look resembles that of Doll from the Noah’s Ark Circus in Black Butler! You can see similar elements in both designs: a lot of white and poofy fabric, flowers, ballet slippers with criss-crossing ribbons, concealed eyes, etc.

Something that’s interesting about specifically Ortho’s design (compared to the other FG boys) is that his look invokes the idea of both life and death while the others invoke mainly life/the idea of rebirth. This may be attributed to the lack of actual fabric on Ortho (which makes him look thin, small, and vulnerable) while butterflies (a common symbol of life, death, and passing) and what little fabric there is resembles “wings” swarm his tiny form. It looks some poor soul has departed, slowly being lifted into the next world on the wings of butterflies. Very eerie and ephemeral!

More creepy elements! His bodice or torso component has markings which resemble ribs!! Not only that, but his arms and fingers look extremely detailed and ribbed in gold, making them look almost skeletal (as there are many small fingers in specifically the hands). Altogether, this makes for a very unique look? I can’t really describe the style as anything but “Jack Skellington got into the cottagecore aesthetic”.

Also????? I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but the windows behind Ortho look like they were arranged to resemble a spiderweb??????????? So like??? Ortho...? The butterfly caught in a spider’s web???? I think that concept is interesting, even if it’s just a visual coincidence 👀 because there’s an old saying about a “spider’s thread in hell” (“hell” in this case being “the Underworld”), referring to fragile hope in a bleak situation. Who knows, it could very much allude to what Ortho’s role will be in the upcoming Fairy Gala: What If? event, especially seeing as he is the SSR for it.

OH and can we talk about his footwear?????? Those are some fancy ass boots if I’ve ever seen them. All the detailed, flowery gold elements (especially the ones around major joints and other points of articulation) look amazing???? And again, they resemble laced up ballet slippers! The fact that the legs/shoes still allow for mobility despite being that ornate is a testament to Idia’s genius (assuming that he is the one that created this new gear for Ortho; I can’t imagine anyone else that would do this??? Maybe Vil offered some help in designing for fashion and Idia made it functional as well).

It looks like the lower part of the legs are made of some kind of see-through component (I can vaguely see the ribbons crossing on the other side of the legs?)! In that sense, the design reminds me of Monster High’s ghost dolls like Spectra Vandergeist. These dolls actually had legs that transitioned from opaque to see-through or more sheer to give it that “ghostly” vibe, and I’m getting similar energy from FG Ortho~

One last thing I wanted to comment on Ortho’s “wings” are a super nice touch! The colors and segmentation reminds me a lot of dragonflies...! I also find it interesting how they fold out around Ortho. It makes me think it was intentionally done so that the wings resemble flower petals, and Ortho looks like he is emerging from within the “flower”. In other words, he is being “reborn”, like how flowers are “reborn” in the spring time, like how he was “reborn” to serve the place of OG!Ortho 👁

HNNNNNNNGH Seeing Ortho’s FG card art in full has me so hype for the new story eventttttt 😭 Can it be the end of May already, I want to throw my rolls at himmmmmmmmm 🦋

If no one’s sent it in for the ask game yet, Wei WuXian 👀

Hey!!! Thanks for giving me the perfect excuse to ramble about my favorite necromancer boy 🥰

Favorite thing about them: Can I say everything? He’s just such a great character! I love his sense of humor, how kind he is, and how smart he is! He can be a bit of a flirty airhead, but that’s what makes him so charming! Did I mention the cool glowey red eyes? He can turn from sweet to dangerous when he needs to. Oh, but he has such a big heart, perhaps a little too big for his body. I both admire him for his strength and just wanna wrap a blanket around him ❤️❤️❤️

Least favorite thing about them: Oh, dear. He’s too giving 🥺💔. I wish he knew that it doesn't always have to be him to be the one to sacrifice and that he could learn to share his burdens. I know it’s incredibly hard for him to do something like that because it’s never been in his nature to let go. He has to be strong. Has to be brave. Has to be always smiling. Always the one to take the blame, always the defender, always going to extremes to fix things. I know this is a product of his upbringing and his surroundings. He was a teenager suddenly thrown into war after the death of nearly his entire clan. I don’t know if there was another way around this, I’m not sure if speculating would be of much use. What I do know, is that at the end of his first life, after everything wwx did, after learning about how he died, I kept thinking to myself: “It’s too much. No one should have to give so much.”

Favorite line: “But from now on, what you say to me, what you do for me, I’ll remember it all—I won’t forget a single thing! I really like you, Lan Zhan. I love you, I want you, I fancy you, I whatever you. I want to night-hunt with you for the rest of my life.” Basically his entire speech from Chapter 100 ❤️

BROTP: Okay. I know there’s a lot of people I could choose who would fit this role better, like Wen Ning or Wen Qing, my beloved. But if I’m being honest! If I'm being truthful! My answer would be Jiang Cheng (Plz don’t throw a pitchfork at me 🥲). And I get it. Maybe these two brothers are destined to just go their separate ways. Maybe there isn’t a timeline where these two can ever be happy around each other. But idc. I just can’t let go of the idea that the love is still there, buried, smothered, quiet, but there. I know that some things can’t be forgotten and things may never be how they once were; there were many flaws in their relationship, so I wouldn’t want them to go back to being the same. But I choose to believe that with time, even if it’s at a very slow pace, wwx and jc can reach a new state of being. Where they can learn how to just talk to each other again. About the small things. About the memories that aren’t painful. About Jin Ling. And maybe then, and only then, would they begin to heal and close the gap, one tiny step at a time.

OTP: Y'all know who it is! I don’t have more to say about them because the book has already given me all that I wanted! They’re the heart of the story and my favorite ship ❤️

NOTP: Any ship that is not Wangxian. I’m not really a big multi-shipper. I find a ship I like best, latch onto it, and then crinkle my nose at the idea of them being shipped with someone else lol.

Random Headcanon: I think he has a music brain and would easily be able to pick up a new instrument! I could also easily see him writing and singing songs :)

Unpopular Opinion: I guess it’s the same as the BROTP section. I know my wish for him to reconnect with his brother again is an opinion that uh is divisive in the fandom 😅

Song I associate with them: Liar by The Arcadian Wild, Everything I Wanted by Denis Kalytovskyi, Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, Atlas:Two by Sleeping At Last, and of course, HOLD IT AGAINST ME BY BRITNEY SPEARS

Favorite picture of them: Oooh, no contest. The Yiling Laozu from the Untamed Mobile Game 🥰

Character Ask Game

[cozcat]

Please do tell about the Moiraine x Siuan au 👀

so uh, this is pure self indulgence, so i am very glad that doing a read more on mobile isn't a resounding pain in the arse

also this is book spoiler influenced so like, there's that, although i don't think any are too overt, and it doesn't spoil forthcoming events, because any events i borrow diverge from new spring.

let's call it a modern au.

i'm not sure whether it truly still counts as an au - those reborn in different lives don't necessarily have their lives correlate to the same extent that they do in this

so it's mindless self indulgence that could be lives in the past, or lives yet to be led, or neither, or both (the fun thing about the way in which the wheel of time turns is that any au is technically some degree of canon compliant, because anything could be a turn of the wheel.)

in one age, called the first age by some, in an age yet to come, an age long ago, there were two girls, born into entirely different lives. this was not the beginning, but it was a beginning.

a girl who is the daughter of politicians - she is expected to follow in her family's footsteps purely by virtue of her name, and there is the general impression that her name is what also got her into university. it wasn't, but the truth will never overwhelm such an interesting falsehood.

(she has a best friend, whose position is not what it was, and he is who her family expected her to marry for a long time - it was only shortly before she was actually married that her family accepted what was to be. but both dear friends know full well that they have only ever wanted friendship. he doesn't factor into this story. but he's there.)

a world away, at least until there's something of independence in them both - a girl who is the daughter of a fisherman from a small town, who goes to uni on a scholarship, who feels like she has to fight for everything she wants

it doesn't matter, once they're there at least, because it is their worth that matters once they're there.

and they meet, and they fall in love, and they're happy. that's the long and short of it: two young women, falling in love.

the daughter of a fisherman finds herself in an incredibly powerful career, and the daughter of politicians isn't so powerful - but she works hard and is happy with what she does. maybe they're in law, or public service; it doesn't matter, really, because they are making the world better in what way they can, and because they are able to be good at what they do, without it forcing them to hide who they are.

the daughter of politicians finds her parents aren't thrilled with her relationship - not that she fell in love with a woman, but that she fell in love with someone they see as beneath her, and that she'll lose the connections they gained by doing so. (never mind the connections that their daughter's wife will make. but neither of them should have to justify it, and they don't.)

(why not your best friend? you get along well. his family are old money. good connections.)

(we care for each other, but not like that.)

and it's not going to be perfect - when is it ever? - but it's good enough that even though one family's gatherings are always a bit intense and the other's are always quite quiet, they still have their families. they never had to fear losing each other, and the prospect of having to choose between their love and the rest of their lives wasn't even something they needed to contemplate. they can love in the light of the world.

they don't have the weight of the world resting on their shoulders. just the weight of being the rich lesbian aunts who always fuck it right up with the best presents for the niblings.

in a life that is long ago, a life that is yet to come, they never had to fear running out of time.

what if looney toons peter lorre met slappy

Oh that's easy! I'd simply pass way

Jk jk but ohhhh!! Finally! I can use my book of notes for this! Because as of late I've been blowing off energy writing about slappy and where specifically other peter lorre parodies in cartoons came from + roles he played that contributed most to the typical lorre caricature we have in mind that so often shows up in media. Also because slappy only has small cameos and stuff and this is how I get more content lol *snorts some slapcrack*

Okay! But there is noticeable differences between the typical looney tunes lorre characters. There's 5 looney tunes shorts I've seen so far with some type of lorre character. Two with a mad scientist-esque character and one with a gangster, some with some dude Mr. Greenstreet (ha get it? Get it?) who's obsessed with new tastes (get this man some 🐔), and one where it's just himself along with other parodies of Hollywood stars. There's also his appearence in tinytoons where he was an evil train conductor named boxcars. There's more but that's all I've seen so far.

Though I think we'll stick with mad scientist lorre because he appeared twice in the original plus had a little comeback in the movie looney tunes back in action. Also they've got an official name! Dr. Lorre 👀

I know for SURE they would've wanted experimented on my boy slappy. A talking fish? How could they resist? Maybe they'll finally find his wishbone?

Of course they wouldn't be getting it easy. While I don't see slappy really fighting. He has his way of getting around (his mysterious transportation onto that stunt ride mobility scooter in Pat-a-thon or him just there watching pat through the window in lost in couch) he just shows up and disappears. Not to mention, in actual trouble. He can manage via unorthodox methods (stair wars) Ngl I wish I could settle all feuds like this lol

Also slappy seems to have a very small (but very much there) awareness that he's a weirdo/people find him creepy. He doesn't seem to mind. But can also easily do what he can to make people further repulsed by him. (I assumed so from his first episode and lost in couch but now I am certain in the halloween special)

Who would win? Will it be a battle to the death? Err no. The scientist ones has one detail that Slappy doesn't have. The thing about how a lot of peter lorre characters are depressed and tortured. Dealing with inner demons ans suffering from loneliness and thus are unable to control their actions. Which sounds dramatic but a staple trait to add to any of your Lorre inspired characters 👀 (like for an example, I just finished watching The Stranger On the Third Floor. Peter Lorre plays a criminal, in the final scene talking to a lady and said the only one who's ever been nice to him was a lady, and that he doesn't have any friends. He's clearly sad. But he's a killer who's been slashing people's throats. It should've been obvious. Still I think it was mcstinking cute!)

Anyways they don't get why people turn away from them while doing horrible things that make people run away in fear.

Which is something the looneytunes lorre characters have that slappy doesn't. Slappy is pretty happy go lucky. He's certainly weird but doesn't mind it at all. He enjoys things his own way and is friendly (to the best of his abilities) I mean look how Unbothered he is!!

I can see slappy befriending the looneytunes lorre characters. He's the only one I can see that wouldn't judge them for their heinous actions and would probably be the most understanding. Eh, knowing them, they'd still probably try to steal his wishbone but it wouldn't bother him much.

Now I can really see them having almost like a group session where they're talking about their feelings and slappy is just there listening xD slappy is the least likeliest to make a therapist but also probably the best..?

Why do I kinda feel like he'd find their heinous acts amusing? He loves a good failure after all. Probably listening to how they let people come to their untimely demise is to him like listening to how people failed to keep their lives? Perhaps for his own macarbe amusement? Or maybe it's just innocent curiousity? Or maybe he genuinely wants to help? Who knows.

Thank you so so much for this ask! It was such a joy to answer! I really enjoyed it since I got to infodump about slappy/lorre!! Which is always such a treat. But fr I mean it! I'd ramble on and on if ya didn't stop me so it's nice to know someone enjoys listening about it!!☺💖💖
