On one hand, I want a final fantasy 6 remake, because the game is criminally underrated and the amount of fan content (which is all absolutely fantastic btw) is Not Enough for my neurodivergent, hyperfixating brain.
On the other hand, that would inevitably encourage more people to join the fandom, which would be great, except it seems these days the bigger a fandom gets the more toxic it becomes, and I really like what we have going on over here in our little corner. We all just love the game and its characters and nobody fights about who should and shouldn't date who or who you shouldn't like because they're ~problematique~. Nobody's trying to make one ship morally better than another, nobody's calling anyone names or threatening to doxx people who don't agree with their opinions. It's so peaceful and I love that for us. We're just vibing. Moisturized. Unbothered. In our lane. Flourishing.
#as someone who was in an extremely toxic and chaotic fandom and lowkey still traumatized#to the point where I'm afraid to mention which fandom it was/what my ship was#i have to say#i genuinely love it here#i was nervous at first sharing my ships and headcanons but everyone is so chill i was worried for nothing#thank you to everyone I've interacted with who has made this fandom a healing experience for me#i shudder to think about what some of the people i interacted with in a previous fandom would do with ff6#probably would take edgar's flirting at face value and call him problematic for objectifying women#instead of considering the narrative and what we know about him and the way he actually treats women#my man drinks loving and respecting women juice he's not a creep#or that weird moment with relm that admittedly made me double take before i realized what he meant#theyd have a whole campaign against him lmfao#bc those people boil characters alive until they're just a formless pile of tropes and stereotypes#and seem to disregard all positive aspects of a character they don't like which is fine#but then they go and try to force other people to think like they do and ugh#theres a lot of silly moments in the game and aspects of these characters that make them well rounded and realistically flawed at times#and i fear that would get lost in the chaos if the floodgates opened after a remake#maybe im just jaded lmao#im jaded and i have anxiety so im always thinking about The Worst Case Scenario#the collective positive spirit of the dwellers in this fandom might actually foster a positive space if more people were to come in#ff6#my post#i was gonna say maybe this is bc we're mostly adults#but that falls flat when i remember how some of the most toxic and immature people in some fandoms are grown ass adults#who bully each other and younger fans#and some of the most mature and cool people were actually younger#maybe ff6 fans are just built different lmao#also idk how old anyone else actually is there might be teenagers here i just don't think about it a lot

Lmao last time I asked for Avenpaz but this is x reader so what about Aventurine x reader? Hehe thank you :3 (Desperate for some Aventurine stuff đ„°)
Yes you may, i'm going to do general hcs for this because thats what im feeling right now teehee- on a side note, aventurine but its the scene with hua cheng and xie lian with the dice rolling- there was just,,,so much tension in that scene please Â
âĄrequests openâĄ
Cw : gn!reader, mentions of trauma and spoilers for his story and a bit of penacony, fluff. Both established and un established relationship hcs, a little bit of angstÂ
Ok so pre relationship i think that aventurine is actually quick to catch feelings but slow to realize them
Like off the bat he can tell how he feels in about someone, like or dislike, trust or not trustÂ
What is slow to build is how deep that runs, both his romantic feelings and his trust are gained slowly but eventually snowball and that is when he finally either realizes or admits it.
Something i never got in general is when people talk about like how {character} wouldn't trust you until xxx into relationship etc
But the thing is like, are y'all dating people you dont trust? Because especially as someone who is depressed/traumatized, I fully would have to trust someone to get into a relationship, and that trust does not reset to 0 because we got together like??- i promise i will tie this in trust meÂ
The other slight problem with aventurine pre relationship is that after he realizes/admits his feelings to himself he is taking that to his grave. He will casually flirt or maybe drop little hints, but he is content to never speak these feelings out loud to you,Â
Half of this is a fear of forming intimate connections that he knows he's ultimately powerless to protect, he fears rejection and loss when it truly matters and this prevents him from ever really bringing himself to pursue you. The other half is a subconscious self sabotaging hatred. Despite his fronting he is an insecure and traumatized man who's become jaded by the cosmos. While he at this point would trust you implicitly he cant help the feeling that you won't, dont, and couldn't possibly like him and return his feelings.Â
Reasonably he knows that he is an attractive man, a man with both wealth,power, and status, and yet he feels that you won't possibly want him. His self loathing even in his subconscious holds him back, giving a false sense of apathy towards your relationship status that outweighs the jealousy he feels. In truth the jealousy only serves to prove his point on how you don't return his feelings
There are scenarios that I think he would confess first if you don't beat him to the punch.Â
The first is said jokingly, and yet there is not that sharp witted teasing edge or bite to his words, unexpectedly raw and genuine when he poses a simple âwhat ifâ questionÂ
The second involves many different factors, maybe you catch him on a good day, maybe he sees the way you seem to look at him and in your eyes is the reflection of his own affections. Maybe you catch him on a bad day, and in his pit of despair he decides that it is at least worth the risk to gamble.
These are the moments he confesses to you, bated breath waiting for the other shoe to drop and for you to lash out with laughter or anger but he is delighted when you return his feelings
Ok ok enough angst-
This man is a shameless flirt, he is romantic long before you every begin a relationship- you just take it as a joke, a bit that's silly between close friendsÂ
After you manage to pry that confession out of him or you make the first move, he is shockingly quick to put a label on it, you are his romantic partner! His love, hes your lucky charm
Ok ok like i said before i really don't thing that aventurine is the type to be in an actual relationship with someone he A)doesnât trust, or B) doesnât love
So by the time you get in a relationship there is already a strong foundation of real trust, but he has already realized he is hopelessly in love.Â
I will die on the hill that aventurine is a stage 100 clingerÂ
This is a clingy man to his core, he is sending you 50 messages a day
Good morning, good night, have you eaten? I love you, miss you, literally anything because he truly dose miss youÂ
Have you eaten? Yes? Good have a little treat +500 creditsÂ
No? Wait there he's taking you to lunch- or +5000 creditsÂ
I know everyone says it but he really does spoil you. Now the way he sees it genuinely isn't as like a bribe but both something that genuinely makes him happy and also he likes to make your life easierÂ
Seeing you happy, being able to spoil you with gifts and treats and money brings him genuine joy, and knowing that he is able to provide some relief from the harsh reality of life makes his a very merry man
As I said, clingy- he loves your time, being able to spend time with you and relax in your presence is truly heaven.Â
Most of his missions aren't dangerous, just business so he enjoys taking you with him so that he can spend more time with you
He is touch starved for positive physical contact and affectionÂ
Sit in his lap, let him sit in yours- honestly he isn't very picky as long as he gets to touch youÂ
If you thought his playful bestie flirting was bad you are gonna die, because he gets so much worse, now that he knows exactly what to say so that he can fluster you he grows ever bolder in his pursuit
No matter what he says his actions always follow his words, he shows he loves you with the way he sees you and treats you, in the way he seems to crave you like a thirsty man craves water or how a plant craves the warm sun, to breathe you in like air and love you tenderlyÂ
Even if he is clumsy at love and intimacy he still puts in a profound sense of effort.Â
The definition of if he wanted to he would. And he definitely wants to

I thought about kinnie. LIKE... SOME KIND OF CHARACTER.. KINNIE... I took the tests and I was always Epel or Deuceđ€Ż Im really.. Am I kinnie Epel?...đ„ș Really?...
YES, OMGđđđđ OYA IS NOT KINNIE KALIM, LMAO /j
Maybe I look like Azul in some ways, but I'm not suređđ Sometimes we think the same way, or I say something and he says the same thing, but that's probably because I know him well or something so IT'S JUST FUNNYđđ I was constantly drawing and striving to become a better (I had bullying at school but I won't talk about it-). Although there are a lot of people doing this and it can hardly be distinguished, idk (and I have weight problems, but I'm too thin and I was constantly told about itđą)
In general, it is always difficult for me to describe myself, to tell about myself, so I will not be able to understand that I look like someone in some way lmaođ
BUT BTW my sister reminds me of Jade, Trey and Jamil. This is A COMBO LMAOđ€

Okay so BO!!! I have two brain worms lately that I wish to share but Iâm only gonna tell you the one now because Iâm lazy. Police Officers!Ghoap stopping your friend for speeding and seeing Reader in the backseat, drunk and to yourself, waving at them excitedly when they look in your direction. It gets Johnny all excited and before Ghost can even say anything heâs telling your friend and you to get out of the car, giving you both field sobriety tests. You fail and your friend passes but they both lie and say that they failed and that they have to take you both into custody. Taking you to the station and frisking you, Soap reassuring you when you ask if itâs normal to need two officers for a search. Ghost holding you still when Soap starts to remove your clothes, ignoring your whimpers and whines when he gropes at the flesh of your ass, resisting the urge to bite into it. And then Ghost says they have to do a cavity search on you to be certain you donât have anything dangerous to hide :((( đ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ą - đž
ooh you should maybe check out No One Has To Know by Carin Hart! tbh i wasn't a huuuge fan, but it's got a stalker police officer who kidnaps the fmc and uses his position as an officer to threaten her
anyways! i very rarely write it bc i've actually never been drunk (looong history of addiction in my family) and i feel like if i tried i'd sound like kid guessing at what drunkenness is lmao but! i fucking loooove noncon (dubcon?) with a drunk victim who wouldn't consent if they weren't drunk, and the abuser takes complete advantage of that. hot as fucking hell. and the talking them down the next morning, gaslighting them into thinking they did consent? ohhh i eat it up
anyways 2x. im obsessed with what you've sent me, may i offer some variations?
rookie cop soap & experienced (and jaded) cop ghost who's stuck as his partner. they take both you and your friend in and soap takes you into a private room for your search but ghost can just tell that soap is gonna get himself in trouble, so he finishes his search real quick and goes into the private room to find johnny humping your back while you grind on his leg :( soap freezes in fear because he is actively assaulting you, but ghost just sighs and closes the door, grunts "hurry up, then. need to get her in a holding cell. can spend some more time with her then." and johnny moans, making you moan, and the two of you are just a soaked and desperate mess of limbs
ghost and johnny pulling you over alone on the side of the road in the middle of the night. they handcuff you and you're too scared to fight back, and they insist on doing a search, and then a cavity search before they take you in their car :( you're squirmy and scared and trying so hard to be good, and ghost and soap play good cop/bad cop with you. except, surprising you, ghost is the good cop and soap is the bad cop. mostly because ghost is near silent and soap is rough, kinda mean, while ghost is just ordering you around. anyway the interaction ends with ghost fucking you with his gun :/ you're trying so hard to be good but it's scary and soap keeps threatening to gag you if you get any louder :(
ghost and soap sneaking into the holding cell, making you stay silent in less you want your friend to wake up and see you taking their cocks so well :/ age-old trope but reader getting interrogated by ghost and soap and totally abused and violated as an interrogation method :/ ghost getting mean mean and telling you he'll either fuck you with his baton or beat you with it :/ soap making you shine his badge with your tongue while he's railing you :/

thank you for the OP x homestuck meta lore you're doing God's work. I was really into homestuck in the prime time and I'm watching through one piece now. I especially love the jade kujas and will of d havers being lime. I made my husband upset by saying I want to put you under a microscope and study your brain.
lol thanks?? i got into homestuck years before checking out one piece, so i started the series and immediately tried classpecting characters. even my first thoughts about zosan was âoh my god this is a textbook kismesisâ đ
i was gonna say every person with d in their name is lime, but i wasnt sure. i think itd fit tho! i was just like âoh what if theres too many limes cause of thatâ lmao. but yeah since limebloods were natural enemies of the empress, then itd make sense because those with the will of d are natural enemies of the celestial dragons
i hyperfixated on EVERY aspect of homestuck, so trollifying and classpecting other characters comes naturally to me. maybe ill make a post explaining why i classpect the straw hats what i gave them when im not as busy. stay tuned chat
âŠmight draw art????

Judging Fifis twinks from Twisted Wonderland!
Riddle Rosehearts (goofy ass name) I dont completely hate it? But I feel like theres a lot more you could do with the Queen of Hearts. The boots are pretty sick but they look like theyre too big for him.
BEST OUTFIT- The cool wizard drip. Says nothing of the character he represents but its cunty.
Overall- 6/10
Ace! Not the best Ace ive seen TBH and those shoes are ugly as hell.... but I like his plucky attitude.
Best outfit- Weird little matador? outfit. I also found out the cool wizard outfit from Riddle is a standard outfit they all? get.... so...
Overall- 5/10
Deuce (naturally)... did Riddle steal all the good shoes... what is happening? IDK man hes like... that standard anime dude with short black hair.
Best outfit- Goofy ass white rabbit outfit. Its horrible but I like seeing serious characters go through silly shit with a straight face.
Overall- 7/10 (hard carried by the bunny outfit.)
Cater? What the hell kinda name is that... ugly shoes again... but I kinda like his overall design better. Im disappointed their main outfits are all the same. i guess it makes sense since theyre the Card knights (im guessing) so theyre all uniform in a sense... BUT IT GIVES ME NOTHING TO WORK WITH.
Best outfit- I guess the weird band outfit... LMAO I wish the boots had a trim or something but its fine.
Overall- 5/10
Honestly at this point I can say he looks the most interesting of the card set. LMAO... I judge that his hat isnt fitting his head normal but w/e at this point.
Best outfit- BY FAR THE BEST OUTFIT IVE SEEN SO FAR. His hat still looks too small for his head but I see the vision Trey. CONGRATS. Fifi maybe you were right.
Overall- 8/10!
Leona is a breath of fresh air after those damn card guys! His outfit is still kinda goofy hes like hes serving in the attitude department and his jewelry looks nice...
Best outfit- Hes actually got a great selection! I chose the Nightmare suit cuz the stitched coat, the eyepatch, the tux fit.. CUNTY.
Overall- Honestly? 10/10. Well done Fifi.
??? JACK??? Who the fuck is HE supposed to be??? I mean i guess hes fine???
Best outfit- This gay little sailor outfit with or without the gay little coat. I woulda chose the pirate drip but its the same as Scars and Scar wore it better.
Overall- ???? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU???
Im guessing this is one of the Hyenas... Im gonna believe it to be Ed that way I can be forgiving of him lookin like a little gooby. Hes actually pretty cute but obligatory (if youre from Africa why are you white).
Best outfit- Hes got some good drip... but the JP fit is 10/10.
Overall- 9/10. I like him hes cute.
Oh I know a fan favorite when I see it.... and with good reason dripped the fuck out from the jump. All in purple and black! SERVING.
Best outfit- I guess its not much of an outfit but it looks sick!
Overall- 9.5/10 Im not letting him beat Scar tho.
Gasp... HIS POOPSIES. I prefers Jade refinement over Floyds goofy shit... but I mean theyre basically the same. At least theyre cool about it.
Best outfits- I hate to give it to the classy JP drip but... here we are. I also like his...'apple boa?' fit and his like... camping gear? With the yellow hat. Floyds outfits arent as good. So I just chose the white tux. I guess Jade is the favorite twin.
Overall- 8.5 and 7 /10 respectively.
Kalim.... Im gonna be honest with you... he reminds me visually of one of my OWN characters so hes kinda my favorite now. But TBF his drip is out of this world anyways so good for him. IDK who hes supposed to be im assuming Iago.
Best outfit- I kinda like him all... Im choosing the big sweater because thats something Lee would wear LMAO But I like the white and gold, I like the wolf outfit, the crop top lion outfit, etc.
Overall- 10/10 (Better than Scar.)
Jamil... Youre not fooling me. I know Pike Queen Lucy when i see her... Im guessing Jafar due to snake aesthetics (or Pike Queen Lucy for the same reason) Terrific!
Best outfit- Honestly I dont so much like the tight pants with it but its still really pretty. Lotta great paterns! Hes got a good wardrobe!
Overall- 9/10. Jafar is serving AS PER USUAL.
...Elsa? Gotta say babes its gonna be hard to follow the Aladdin duo... they were cunty all the way through. And blue/red is a rough start my mans.
Worst outift- LMAO I actually didnt like ANY of his outfits and i found out hes the EVIL QUEEN FROM SNOW WHITE!? THEY MADE THE EVIL QUEEN THE CUNTRESS HERSELF THIS LAME?!
DISHONOR ON YOU!!!!
But this Lion King outfit on him so horrendous. LMAO
Overall- 0/10....
The way I audibly sighed and went 'what you YOU want' Ive been disheartened by the Evil Queen... IDK who this even is... The Mirror perhaps?
Best outfit- At least hes got a couple cute outfits. This one is the cutest.
Overall- 6.5/10 (I cant unsee the buff thing...)

THIS IS LONG AS FUCK LMAO IM SO SORRY IN ADVANCE I REALLY JUST STARTED YAPPING but i saw your post abt mota characters being underdeveloped compared to other hbo war shows and had some Thoughts
this is something iâve heard mentioned on a couple reviews from historian guys on youtube and podcasts etc. iâm honestly not sure how much of it is intentional and how much of it is a result of weird pacing and writing decisions made due to budget cuts or episode numbers being reduced or whatever but it is something i thought was interesting:
basically the way the show treats its characters is kinda reflective of the way the air war itself was for the men involved: at first youâd would arrive on base and make close friends and develop rapport with each other a la buck bucky curt croz etc. but then the attrition sets in - someone like curt dies, more and more crews disappear, and on base itâs like they never existed. you get jaded. it becomes harder to get close to the new guys because you know theyâre more than likely gonna be dead after the next mission, or you will be, and theyâll have to deal with losing you. this is kinda reflected in the scene after buck n bucky meet rosie. âwhen we go down they wonât remember us eitherâ etc.
the show kinda does this with the characters it introduces. u meet the main guys in the beginning and get sort of familiar with them, enough to be attached, and then curt fucking dies. if you arenât well versed in the real history (like i wasnât) then you have no damn idea whoâs surviving to the end, and that makes you approach the remaining leads a little differently. when buck goes down you donât really know if youâll see him again. âthey wouldnât kill him itâs austin butlerâ but they killed barry keoghan already soooo maybe they will? maybe bucky is the main lead now? itâs hard to know whoâs safe to stay invested in.
and then obviously we follow bucky through his little romp through germany and then the stalag, (which is tense as fuck because WE DONT KNOW IF HES SAFE NARRATIVELY SPEAKING) but when it switches back to base thereâs no mention of him or buck after the initial loss. like they never existed. we get rosie and croz, and a bunch of brand new crews who we mostly donât recognize and who blend together so easily we have no idea if they survive or not because we donât care and neither does the show. there is not space to care (diagetically if youre a pilot because you stop putting effort in to get acquainted w them just to lose someone again, and irl because the show stops putting effort in to distinguish them from each other).
guys we even sort of recognize or give a fuck about like nash die immediately. or (this one is kinda a stretch bc obviously their storyline getting forgotten about probably isnât intentional but) with quinn and bailey when their plot gets dropped you can look at it like the guys on base who cared about them have also died or been shot down, so theyâre no longer important to follow. and when buck returns to base in 9 who greets him? croz and rosie. almost nobody else who remembers him is still around. they either died or went to the stalag with him, or to other ones like it.
the show essentially ends up mirroring its characters: starting out with the promise of brotherhood and wartime camaraderie and friendship etc etc and then having it UTTERLY SHATTERED by the realities of the kind of war they are fighting.
itâs honestly fascinating to me. iâve very rarely experienced a show with a supposedly ensemble cast at the start where the ensemble aspect kind of just gets destroyed and the characters are all killed or permanently split up partway through.
yeah thatâs interesting and you have good points. I wasnât really talking about their bonds with each other though, more so their individual character arcs and personality traits that were often shallow or not fleshed out entirely. I understand not having much of a supporting cast because these men were so expendable, but there were characters like macon and alex etc. who couldâve been given more to do. people have even argued (I donât know if I entirely agree) that buck and bucky had shallow characterization as well. I think itâs good that you can find that kind of meaning in the show but I donât think the show does that great of a job at hitting home these points and kind of just arrives there incidentally
then thereâs the question of why even adapt this material if itâs not very well suited for a narrative story in the first place. and people can argue about that Iâm not gonna touch it lol
but I see your point. I just donât think the show was that intentional about the way it handled its character arcs. it feels more like things just falling by the wayside than intentional thematic choices

whatever. bananaclaw boys are full of haters for real
leona and malleus dislike each other. leona is haters with benefits with neige. hes soulmates with vil / they are woohoo partners. and best friends. if anyone should be haters with benefits i think it should be those two but i dont know how to make them do that on purpose lmao
jack and kalim dislike each other??????? somehow??? so do jack and jade but that one makes more sense to canon LOL. jack and jamil also dislike each other :[ the J boys are not getting along... he even dislikes some rando named Janet!! but i deleted her lol. the first year polycule is still doing well, jack's still going strong with juice and epe-
BROKEN UP???? HUH......................... hes not broken up w/juice at least. but boys what is going ON!!!!! HELLO??? augh. skjfjslkg i act surprised but like im well aware that i have the story progression doing this lol. and theyre COWORKERS!!! the tension of it all....
ruggie i forgot unfortunatley still has the aftermath of my other updates where i was playing my twst oc house and he was swept up in the hater break up storm so he is broken up with char and dañarte and has like. "it's very awkward" with char where they just do not like each other, but then "bad romance" with dañarte where they have mega bad romance but some green frienship. i thought he and kalim had some negative but theyre actually at neutral acquaintances. but ruggies besties with jamil at least!!! hes also friends with neige lol
ok im gonna fuckin check neige now wtf is he up to
i couldnt find him at first bc he was hiding under a bridge with his dog đ WHY ARE HE AND KALIM HATERS WHY IS KALIM MAKING SO MANY ENEMIES NOOO LOL THEY LITERALLY DESPISE EACH OTHER đđđ
okay. well. it doesnt say broken up but it also doesnt say partners. so what is the truthđ€š also i sent neige home and he had mac n cheese left on the stove bitch get it TOGETHER!!!
omg wait i still have jealously on for him. im turning that off for him now but i wonder if that had any relation to his weird relationships but im going with probably not and it was still jsut sims being super random with the auto generating lol
wait has he not met vil.... or rook... im sending him to pomefiore at 1am to establish bonds and ill check back later and see if random progression does anything with it lol. therye literally next door neighbors i think he's even coworkers with vil why havent they met. vils pretending not to see him and avoiding eye contact lol
hes bonding w/rook and epel but vil literally got in bed and went to sleep the moment neige walked inside lol
wait i had him go wake him up but i forgot i have like
ten billion pictures of cater and rook in vils room fskljgsldfs from when i was still figuring out some mechanics of how photo taking works... one day ill have rook take a billion pics of vil and neige for his room đ ok whatever ill leave them there, im also checking through everyones households rn to remove/hide the relationships with non twst related npcs after i sniped everyone out of the extra houses lol we are CLEANING UP
let's check on my stupid little ocs...
char is friens with neige and good friens with chenya!! true to life... his only bad relationship is with ruggie lol im sorry ruggie im sorry char đ
dan's funny, his bad relationships are all exes and then Also Cater who isnt actually an ex in this game even tho his sole purpose for existing as a twst oc is to cause cater's love life issues and to be an eventual ex... sims cater clocked his rancid vibes and said NO!!!
but ok not much to see there for now. moving on... i think malleus has a lot of enemies / disliked at least lol, based on who im seeing so far...
omg wait i went to check jamil
i WAS gonna be like WHAT HAPPENED but. i forgot. i did that :[ when i was playing as dañarte đ his villainous valentine needs him to get people to break up and alas, the sims generated ship of jamil and sebek was one i had to destroy for it kfshdgklj. oh jamil and neige are best friends tho fjksghlk good for them. where does neige keep meeting everyone i feel like i never see him wandering around when i play lol. kalim also dislikes sebek tho jsdkfsklg defending his bestie i guess
kalim and vil..
romantic interests who are broken up... when did... that happen... so many of these bitches are having flashfire romances and dumping each other when im not looking. but then continue to gaze longingly at each other about it lol. kalim is also dating riddle which idr if i knew that already or not. but it's CUTE :]
chekcing on epel and the first year polycule truly is in shambles before it could fully form
hes doing GREAT with juice, it's confusing w/jack as we saw before bc theyre apparently broken up but still besties and coworkers and love each other, but then he DISLIKES the two he hasnt dated, ace and sebek jfkshgkljsd. he also has disliked cater and idk what thats about. maybe hes annoyed cater keeps coming over and flirting w/his housemates,,
azuls relationship w/jade is bugged lol, it says theyre both acquaintances and best friends , sometimes it messes up when theres romance and friendship i think and gets confused when the romance is near zero but i think if i use a lil cheats i can fix it. later tho i dont feel like it rn. i specifically have relationship decay OFF but i think the fact that i have story progression maybe still alters it so i get some decay anyway which keeps making these FULL GREEN BAR BESTIES show as acquaintances đ
but also i feel like that accurately kinda represents the way the fish talk about each other in canon sdkjfslk theyre ALWAYS together but like to pretend theyre not friends. also azul doesnt like sebek. why is diasomnia collecting so many dislikers just thru seb and mal lol
deuce is the first year polycule glue
he is still dating all of them except apparently i havent had him meet sebek yet? hes also still dating chenya which the game did when i wasnt looking lol. juice you are just so lovable no one can break up with you <- probably foreshadowing for a future game session lol
sebek.......... god đđđ jkdfsjklfjsdkgl this is so real tbh he doesnt know many people and half the people he knows dont fuckign like him/he doesnt like them. and his favorite person is malleus by far LOL i dont even think i intervened much here i think most of this sebek did on his own or via story progression random LOL...
malleus is still a hater also , i think hes the only one that full on is in DESPISED ZONE with someone. TWO SOMEONES!!! jade and him have been like that for a while but idr when idia showed up LOL god. and he and leona dont like each other either <3 and hes still romantically involved w/neige and azul from the random story progressions. here's the post where i doodled about neige/malleus if u missed it bc /i/ still think it's FUNNY JKLjdklshfsd i really want to draw whatever the hells going on with neige and leona too. and his hater thing with kalim. like bestie bleas ejjskdlhgklsj
the only person silver doesnt like is ortho. i think ortho has beef with silver and ace specifically and it's so funny fjksekj. silver has a lot of firenships and his only romance is with cater despite being also broken up as we saw in the start of this post
OKAY THATS ENOUGH FOR NOW IM TIIIIRED i dont even know if people read these LOL but it's fun archiving for myself bc i sure as hell often forget whats going on w/how rapidly things change behind my back!!!
#first neige x malleus on and off again. now neige x leona ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS FKJSDHGKLJ#twst sims#this game really is a soap opera im obsessed with the random relationships generating and breaking up all the time lol#like it's kind of nuts but it's also really funny

TA: 413 boonbond2? damn. TA: 2omeone here ha2 been playiing 2grub ii gue22. wonder why they'd 2end u2 money. TA: maybe they know we made them? maybe iit'2 liike a tiip. liike thank2 dude2 for makiing u2 exii2t.
I actually really like that idea.
"We played the game. We know you created us, and we know you were probably as confused as we were. We know nothing about you, or your motivations - but nevertheless, we are grateful. Thank you. Thank you for making us exist."
Sollux lmao. I love his custom emoji.
GC: SO TH3N 1 GU3SS 1TS FROM 4N 4L13N TA: yeah. GC: M4YB3 W3 SHOULD T3LL K4RK4T GC: WH3N3V3R H3 W4K3S UP
So Karkat was the last to learn about the humans? Damn.
It's no wonder he lost control of the team. By the time he woke up, multiple plans were already in motion, and at least half of them were Vriska's.
I love how quickly Feferi woke up once the humans entered the picture.
Let me talk to )(im, guys! I'm the )(EIRESS! First contact rights are MIN---E! 38D

:(
Most of the Veil items had a purpose, but I don't see what effect a dead horse will have on the timeline. Maybe Mom will clone her to create the original Maplehoof, or something.
It seems the child's lusus was slain in the collision. He will grow up an orphan, just like you.
It's really interesting, watching Terezi interpret events through an Alternian cultural lens. Like - yeah, Maplehoof does look like Dave's lusus here, the same way Bec looks like Jade's. Halley too, come to think of it.
There seem to be a lot of pseudo-lusi floating around. Maybe it's an echo of Alternia's lusus system, trying to weakly assert itself.
This adult alien male appears to be taking on the role of his custodian, instead of killing the boy outright.
Not from lack of trying!

controversial, maybe, but im so tired of games where the romanceable options are ALL bisexuals. like, yeah, nice, but can we get just one lesbian? characters that are only romanceable if the protagonist is a woman, or a man? do they think we're going to get mad if there is locked off characters?? i remember jade empire, which is a questionable game in the romance aspect, but there's both straight and bisexual women on it: if you play as a female character, you have less options than the male one. WHY can't we have a lesbian version of this? of course, there's also a lot to do with the public that bg3 appeals to (men) but it is frustating. i just cant believe karlach and shadowheart AREN'T lesbians. like this is insane
karlach and shadowheart should have been lesbians like i feel it's almost really obvious that they're more into women and it feels like it wants to hint to the player that thats the case, but since the player can be a male and romance them they're "technically" bi. but they just so feel like lesbian women lmao, it's an insult that male characters can romance them tbh. i don't play too many games much less games like rpgs that allow romance, so i wasn't even aware some games had mechanics that limited romance options based on the players chosen sex, i think that's really cool actually since it also helps make the romance-able characters feel like real characters with personality and individual traits, such as their sexualities, that the player is "interacting with" and has repercussions on the players experience (in a neutral way).
