omg I forgot this in my last ask: I wanted to ask about the meaning behind your username :)? If there is a light one or a deep one, either/any way, I’m curious!

ty for your asks hehe! girl i really wish i knew 😭 i came up with this username when i was like 14, i can only remember that it must have been a name or a line in a fanfic that really left an impression on teenage me at that time! i’ve racked my brain trying to recall but alas nothing

Can you explain some of the clone’s culture in the follow the light in you AU?

Ooo anon asking the good stuff.

I think clone culture in my AU is little things the clones tried to hang onto from Kamino that maybe they hid from the kaminoans.

Like the remembrance tradition of scraps of flimsy or cloth or trash they could write the numbers of brothers who never heard of again, tossed into the sea. They changed that into the lantern ceremony once they had their own planet and home.

I think armor painting is definitely part of clone culture - something that is precious to them, as individuals, as commemorating accomplishments or survived trauma. That’s not something they share with just anyone.

Despite being free, the clone society is still regimented and very much centering around being soldiers — even though many chose civilian life, they still go to reserve training and such. They are still bred soldiers and many tried civilian life and didn’t like it/couldn’t change. So they go back to what they know.

There are songs that probably started on Kamino that carried on into free world that are uniquely clones. Just like the clones are the only ones to set the lanterns free on Festival of Lights.

I think a lot of stuff just had to happen after they were free because they couldn’t keep much under the sith with the chips controlling them. So I really think a lot of clone culture is developing as they learn to be free peoples making a place for themselves in the galaxy

Mel was hiring staff for SH on twitter AGAIN. This time stating they needed to be able to "draw fast" so just fully admitting this is crunch hiring. Unfortunately your asks were closed when the post was up and it's now deleted after getting submissions.

I gotcha covered, Anon!

If you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog! 💖

*squishee hugs* Lyn! 🤗 Let me see...

I took ballet as a child because I was super clumsy and not very graceful. Don't give me a drink in a glass, because I'm going to knock it over. Or walking into things was the norm. Always had bruises. My legs always looked like someone hit me with a stick. Turns out because I've always had poor eyesight, that my depth perception was the issue. But you know, you don't figure these things out until you're an adult.

This a 2 for 1. lol I can't stand swimming but I was made to learn to swim at the YMCA when I was 9. I'm also terrified of heights. So diving off the small dive board in the deep end was just nightmare fuel for me. Reason: maybe this is a 3 for 1. Ha! I have sinus issues so being under water always made me feel like I was drowning. Then there's the whole 'I can't see' issue because, can't wear glasses at the pool. Oh and don't get me started on "why don't you wear contacts?". Erm, did I mention I have sinus issues? aka dry eyes. Yeah, it's that bad. Ok moving on...

I'm knitting the Vellichor top by Andrea Mowry at the moment and crocheting the fruit garden blanket by Jane Crowfoot. Just about to finish a granny square sweater by YOKOTA CO,.LTD. (DARUMA). I just need to seam it up and add the bindings. 🧶

Hello here to ask about Rel theories

So I’m not super well versed in league lore but I did some reading after arcane S1 came out. And the first time I was reading about characters from Noxas and saw Rel I lost my mind. I immediately wanted her to be Mel’s sister.

But do people have specific theories about her? I’d absolutely die if we got to see Mel have some sibling angst to rival Jinx/Vi

Or am I totally wrong lol

oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh, okay I'll see what I can manage to write down before i have to go play TTRPGs!

So like, in season 1 I was pretty critical of the Rell Medarda theory; as it seemed to mostly hinge on the ideas that Rell and Mel sounded similar, and that Rell similar to the Medardas was black.

But I have always loved it as a crack theory, because I think it would be a very amusing dynamic to have Mel hanging out with her punk rock little sister in her super fancy penthouse.

Then season 2 act 1 came out, and now a lot of pieces are falling into place. Rell was given to the Black Rose at a young age, and now it's revealed that Ambessa is entangled with the Black Rose, who iirc talks about her owing them something.

The Black Rose was interested in Rell because of her magical powers, S2A1 all but confirms Mel has magic - Though its also all but confirmed Ambessa doesn't.

Rell's mother gave Rell to the Black Rose in the hope of restoring her house to power, not to mention that she was very involved in Rell's training. One of the things we know about Rell's mom is that she drilled the phrase "excellence is measured in sacrifice" into her, which does feel like a very Ambessa thing to say.

So my theory is basically that Ambessa cuts a deal with the Black Rose, giving over her living super weapon of a youngest daughter, while still being allowed to train her, in return for her family's safety and return to power.

Given how much family matters to Ambessa, this feels like exactly the kind of faustian bargain that the Black Rose would be all over.

Also, Rell was supposedly briefly listed under "related characters" on the official lore wiki so do with that what you will.

EMERGENCY ‼️‼️‼️‼️ THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE HAS BEGUN 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️ How well do you think your character would fare in a zombie apocalypse, on a scale of "zombie lunch" to "zombie apocalypse mastermind"? What would be the most epic zombie-killing weapon they could find in a nearby hardware store? A pitchfork? A lumberjack's chainsaw? Would they rather become a zombie and join the horde or take their chances as a human survivor?

you can choose any character to answer!

I took a while but I'm here with ART! Anyway it's so funny you sent this because over the years @mimiruku and I had talked about this a lot.

In a Zombie Apocalypse, Momina would turn into a zombie...without being bitten! Her immune system is so bad that she just somehow turns into one despite it not being airborne....

But despite that, Momina's will remains strong, and thus, she will continue to protect her loved ones!! Miruku made sure to get a leash for Momina... They're so Nezuko and Tanjiro coded, so I put them in their outfits.

Takeshi taking a photo of them by the river in the cosplay they took from the mall. [They're good kids so they left money on the counter!]

Due to unexpected circumstances, the gang found out Momina is SUPER into malignant tumors. It has become her favourite meal. They found out because it turns out Miruku had one? He's fine! She ate it....he's fine!!!

Momina is still nurturing, so she keeps trying to give them malignant tumors and trash to eat. :) She attacks camps so she can give them supplies like blankets.

Tsuna is terrified of his friend and doesn't understand why everyone is so normal about it!?

Hayato has gotten courageous and keeps calling Momina his girlfriend despite not asking her out. Miruku and Takeshi make sure he knows that's weird as hell. "She can't consent because she's dead, you know?" Miruku reminds him. Hayato shouts at her to shut up because they'll totally find a vaccine to heal her, and then they can go on normal dates!!!

I could go on because this is now a Real AU, but I'll stop. Thank you, Melon!

So to answer properly: Momina is a Zombie who makes humans with cancerous tumors her lunch!

Momina's weapons are her teeth and super strength!!

here's a hypothetical for you: i know julu is one sided, but if for some reason or another juan and lucrezia had slept together, how do you think their dynamics would've changed? i.e., how would juan's view of lucrezia change & how would it affect their relationship? like, we know for ceslu, cesare sleeping with her is the thing that pretty much shatters their whole dynamic, twisting their already twisted love of each other into something even more twisted, bringing his jealousy/need to protect her heart to a tipping point (along with his ambition, of course!) that "forces" him to kill alfonso even though it's not really what lucrezia wants, so what's your take on how things would've shifted for julu had things become sexual between them?

i mean you said it: it is one-sided. only juan has feelings for her. so if they slept together (hate sex that could potentially happen if he confessed to her why he was driven to kill paolo and she may develop some sort of understanding), the post-sexual encounter could create a painful imbalance and would likely lead to heartbreak for his vulnerable ass (as god intended), considering lucrezia doesn’t reciprocate. this alone could potentially cause even more fracture in whatever they had going between them, especially since lucrezia and juan didn't even have mutual understanding despite his fondness for her. he may feel compelled to go berserk if he feels her affections are directed elsewhere! except if it was towards cesare ofc because of his sense of fraternal loyalty, (which cesare would/could never have towards juan) after all they are both "borgia bastards" and juan values their shared bloodline and identity despite their conflicts.

also i disagree with the idea that juan is "mimicking" cesare/lucrezia's "acts of service" love language. this is simply his protective instinct towards her. his need to safeguard her is tied to proving his identity as a borgia and a desire to uphold family honor (even through misguided notions) by eliminating any threat that could jeopardize it. considering that paolo is a peasant and lucrezia is the pope's daughter, juan views paolo as a threat to lucrezia’s dignity, leading him to get rid of that threat whom he assumed was taking advantage of his noble "angelic sister" and causing her a scandal.

as someone who has an obsession with true crime/crime tv & marvel your detective bucky fics are just *chef's kiss* <3

Thank you! 🥰 You are not alone on that obsession 😂 I regularly rewatch Criminal Minds, Law & Order SVU, and Bones all the time, so I found it a lot of fun to write a fic in that kind of world. ✨

regarding the lackadaisy kickstarter - was it Mel who failed to pass the message on to Viv about them wanting to refund the associate producer credit money? or was it someone else?

either way, crowing about them being unprofessional when one person wanted to correct potential misinfo about how their pay structure worked is really throwing stones in glass houses given that Spindle and Viv in particular get into drama practically every other week nowadays because they wouldn't know how to behave professionally if they tried

also, Mel painting the entire leadership team as unprofessional is some next-level projection when Tracy is one of the most professional people working in the indie space I've ever seen. Unlike Viv she doesn't let her ego control her, she keeps her fanbase at a respectful but healthy distance and she doesn't jump at the chance to sling mud. Same with how I've seen the rest of the Lackacrew conduct themselves: they're nothing but transparent and professional about how things are going.

Sure is curious Glitch wanted to team up with them and not Viv if Spindle are supposedly soo much more professional, isn't it?

(pardon the salt, this just rubbed me the wrong way)

No apologies for salt. Down here, salt is a way of life.

And yeah, there was some back and forth about Mel being the one who didn't pass on the message to Viv, but I've always taken it with a whopping grain of salt. Viv and Mel are consummate liars and they tell the same flavor of lies, if that makes sense.

Tracy and her team, on the other hand, always go high. They're always professional, always transparent; even Tracy's response to the donation drama was professional and gracious.
