#might also become a thing in this blog

[mysticalcats]

ok fellas this post is really different from my other stuff so i'm putting it under the cut for people who don't care and also because i'm slightly embarrassed

ok so. is it unusual for a girl to want to have a deep voice and a flat chest and a more square face and also feel slightly jealous of men and want to sound like them and look like them

and also is it unusual to want to be all that, but also simultaneously not be very bothered very much by how you look right now or by being referred to with she/her except for sometimes when you think about it too much. because i usually don't think about it except for sometimes where i suddenly just get really sad about being a girl or i'll always have this faint feeling that i am just unhappy about it

and also is it unusual to try to ignore it and go about your life being unbothered by it even though deep down it does kinda bother you but you can't really. like. say anything to anyone because your family won't react well and neither will your friends because they'll think it's weird and uncomfortable. i feel afraid to ever feel this way because i know the people in my life won't react well to it

so like. genuine question please lmk wtf is goin on because i'm unsure if it's normal and i've felt like this for a long time and it's confusing me and i don't even know what i'm going to do with the information once i know i'm just sort of lost LMAO

when jane's powers return in season four (and because they were regained by her confronting and accepting her past, rather than being retraumatised with it!) they're stronger than they ever were. when she starts getting a handle back on them, she very quickly comes to realise not only have they affected her, but her mother, too. one of the biggest losses that came about with her losing them was the fact that she could no longer visit terry in the void; while there was no real communication there, it did allow jane to sit with her, and gain a little more connection than she could in the real world. when she first visits the void after their return, it takes her three hours to find terry, something that is both unexpected and incredibly worrying. but when she does, it's something of a miracle. jane's increased strength and control over the void actually wakes terry up from her catatonic state, but only in the void. there's no way to help her mother physically, but she does do so (unbeknownst to her) mentally. terry is reborn in jane's newfound control over the vale of shadows; she becomes the woman she once was, and while her body remains frozen in a "good dream", her mind connected to jane's own allows her some freedom. jane is able to speak to her mother in the void, is able to be held by her, and while it's still unfair and jane cannot stay in there forever, it's something. this only lasts for about eight months, as each visit slowly begins deteriorating terry's physical and mental state, and jane's health begins declining after spending hours upon hours in the void each and every day.

when jane finds out these visits are actually killing her mother on the outside, she deems to stop, but terry expresses the importance of them being able to speak, that she'd prefer to die on the outside, if it meant she could have just a few months with her daughter like this. terry and jane's connection was always so strong, which ultimately led to terry "waking up" in the void, but even jane's newfound strength cannot save her from the harsh realities. each visit nearing the end of those eight months, terry fades more and more, becomes weaker in the void, and her real body eventually gives up. jane's in the void when her mother eventually passes on, and physically feels their connection weaken, like some part of her suddenly becomes lost in the shadows, a part she'll never find again. jane falls into a depressive state for weeks after her mother's death, given she's technically lost her a second time, but soon comes to realise she was lucky to have even shared those eight months together. it was better than nothing at all. there is a proper burial and funeral, (and when jane dies, she's buried next to her mother) which allows jane some sense of closure. she never fully recovers from losing terry, nor from the fact that she never had a proper relationship with her, but she does eventually find some peace with it all.

I'll never be able to take the theory that Vincent is Sephiroth's real father seriously cuz I cannot stress enough how important I think it is to the plot that Vincent wanted to fuck Lucrecia and did not get to.

So I heard that Tumblr is slowly being abandoned (they seem to be laying off a majority of their staff and keeping a skeleton crew) and we might be nearing the end of this webbed site. I don't think it's currently worth panicking over, but I'm definitely going to start making that neocities website.

I'll make a post soon about other places where you can find me. Unfortunately, I've spent quite some time these last couple years getting rid of a majority of my social media because most platforms were bad for my mental health. I do not plan on going back to these platforms, so if tumblr goes down, I'm going to be only on non social media.

Maybe if one of the new social medias being created, actually take off (like bluesky or pillowfort or whatever else these days) I might join, but if not I might be entirely on personal websites, patreon (I will start posting regularly like a blog and make more free posts), some old websites I deleted but not because I hated them (such as ko-fi, which I deleted due to inactivity) and possibly furaffinity. I'm still on the fence about furaffinity. I might also finally start using my toyhouse but that is an oc sharing website and not much of an art sharing website.

I really do hope Tumblr doesn't go down, this is my one social media and if it does go down I am going to lose nearly all of my audience. I can make do by creating a personal blog and using whatever I have left in terms of "can post my art there and people can find me", and it won't discourage me from making my personal projects. I can make do, and I will make do, but I don't really want to make do.

Anyways, that's all I have to say right now, I'll make a post later once I set up some alternative sites to find me at, but for now I want to give the heads up that if I'm gone, you're not gonna find me on twitter, Instagram, or whatever third option there is. I'm likely going to just make do, be offline more, and likely just become active on the discord servers I'm on.

hey, thanks for the kind words. i'll admit that i kinda forgot for a while that daily demon spotlight was meant to be a blog for fun above all, and i got too obsessed with my perfectionism to where even the slightest criticism would make me panic and overcorrect everything

i really do appreciate what you said as it kinda just grounded me again and made me realize that i'm not some giant public figure, i'm just some teenage trans girl who likes to write, so thank you so much even if you didn't intend it to be that deep lmao 🙏

well im glad i could help 🥰 i've gotten the perfectionism bug with my own writing so i know how much it really sucks. i think it's also scary on the internet where people are increasingly becoming mean to people they don't know over even small things, so it prob feels like you're risking getting huge backlash over something that isn't all that difficult to fix. like, the demon spotlight is just a hobby blog covering figures that appear in a game series that in itself has questionable information and unclear sources, it's not an official compendium blog run by atlus yknow??? i get not wanting to spread misinformation or see it get spread ab mythological figures but for a hobby blog where it's not difficult to add to posts, i don't think it needs to be all that deep. don't be afraid to add an addendum to old posts if you ever come across new information or a correction, i think that kind of thing could be beneficial even if the original post had a lot of incorrect stuff in it

plus, with so many different retellings and translations of mythological stories i think people will consider different ones to be their "canon" to them. i mean like, i read ab two or three different takes just on ganesha's birth in a little section ab parvati in a book discussing a ton of different goddesses. and with language barriers and such, you're bound to run into inaccuracies tbh

i think it's a good preface for everyone involved to come into this understanding that it's easy to unknowingly run into wrong information ab figures, smt is full of inaccuracies in itself, the demon spotlight is just a hobby and isn't gonna get thesis-level work put into it, and the goal isn't to spread misinformation

as long as you keep doing your best in research and handling things as respectfully as you can, i don't think mistakes should be a huge deal. like, yea okay you fucked up a post cus you had bad sources, it's not the end of the world and i don't think you should feel like it's the end of the world or someone else should make you feel that way. just don't argue with people if they give you a correction. i mean, if someone's a total asshole about it that's not really something you can help, the best you can do is apologize and correct the original post. but there's no need to wallow in sorrow cus you got something wrong, it's really not the end of the world🥰👍

long tag ramble below u have been warned

[spitblaze]

Why am I losing followers. Did I do something or are ppl nuking their accounts over the whole midjourney thing

[all-panels-of-uraraka]

Not a question but as another ‘every panel’ blog owner (I can’t switch accounts since this is my main but I run the all-toga one ^^) I really look up to you and you’re one of my main inspirations that pushed me towards starting my own blog under that category. You have determination and you put hard work into making sure you post daily and that is admirable to be honest; if you ever need to hear it: I find you really cool and fascinating to be real with you, even if we never talked and I love your personality just basing it off the small things I’ve seen and I can tell anyone would love to be around you :)

Couldn’t find Toga alone but it matches so 😼

You’re really cool (again) and good luck on continuing on with the blog 💗

Oh my god, thank you so much! Ahhh I’m so glad I inspired you, I hope you’re having a good time with your panels blog! I don’t even know what to say to the compliments, this is so nice :)

I like your toga blog too, she’s one of my favs so it’s nice to see someone’s made one for her as well <3 the heart image is very cute also

[terry-pratchett-book-bracket]

Hi all! So as my bio says, I'm running two other tournaments currently (@galavant-song-tournament and @indie-queer-movie-tournament) and the latter will take me until May to finish with but then I should have time for this. I'll make a proper intro post then as well and set up a bracket and whatnot. Basic info for anyone interested: I'll be including every published book written (or co-written) by Terry Pratchett, no matter if it's a novel, non-fiction, short story, or what. So submissions aren't necessary. I won't do plays or other media not published originally as a book. I'll accept propaganda at any time; I'll just file it away for now to use later so it's no trouble that we won't start for ages. (Also if someone's already done this bracket let me know; a quick search and I didn't find anything but idk, I only see some fandom content and could easily have missed it.)

Farmer's life at Joja could be a really funny dark sitcom

Warning, long. I'm trying to make a background for my farmer but I'm really sleep deprived and this spiraled out of control. Just imagine a show depicting the daily life between the walls of one of Joja's mega office buildings. And considering it's Stardew Valley we're talking about you could put anything in here. And it just gets better with SVE.

Uniquely weird coworkers? Just re-watch the Joja segment at the beginning of the game. Psychopathic bosses? Of course, it's Joja after all. Work related shenanigans and conflicts? They are the backbone of every work related sitcom. Really dark comedy? There's a skeleton in one of the cubicles. But we can have so much more!

Remember Claire's movie, where a Joja inspired evil corporation put mind controlling substances in their soda to create zombie consumers and take over the world? Who's to say that Joja didn't actually try it at some point, only to cover it up later? And that Joja didn't experiment this stuff, and more, on their employees? Worker protection clearly isn't a priority in Ferngill Republic. Which leads to an episode in which the farmer has to figure out why his coworkers are acting weird this week.

Russian roulette is played every day with the cafeteria food (could be shit food, or poison or said weird experiments). Then there's the stress of having to negotiate a rise or explain your poor productivity results to your boss when there are literal corpses of former employees just laying around (my headcanon is that the skeleton was a former worker who tried to start a union and got shot point blank by a manager).

My other headcanon is that Joja has do deal with monster infestations really often. All the weird products, poor safety or hygiene regulations and all that misery will constantly attract monsters. And Joja doesn't care about the workers enough to monster-proof their building and would only cover up the incidents that get bad enough (as in multiple deaths). An episode with the farmer and 1-2 other coworkers hearing squelching sounds in one bathroom and after investigating realizing slimes are trying to get inside the building. The farmer, who just removed the drain cover to look inside the pipe quickly puts it back down only for purple ooze to come out from a slime that slammed against the grate. Cue panic because iridium slimes are very dangerous. No one gets close to that bathroom for weeks and the only reason adventurers eventually get called in to kill the silmes is because they broke the bathroom door open and spilled in the hallway and into a manager's office while he was there.

The farmer already recognizes multiple adventurers due to the amount of times they had to call different guilds to deal with the monsters in the building (maybe Zuzu doesn't have it's own guild since all those people in one place would make monsters less likely to attack but any adventurer that happen to have business in the city becomes responsible with dealing with monster emergencies). Said adventurers wouldn't really recognize the farmer since he would be just another employee in the mass of people temporarily evacuated, but there's a popular security camera video circulating among adventurers with a Joja worker fighting a shadow brute with a chair in a dimly lit hallway. Sure, that person can't really damage the monster without magical weapons and it all ends with the Joja worker managing to run out of the door or out of the window, but they are still very impressed that some random guy had the courage to face a monster unarmed and survive without major injuries. There could be multiple videos or stories passed around the internet with the farmer dealing with monsters since they were the only ones brave enough to try to do something about them, and since the farmer doesn't get hurt they are considered pretty funny.

Joja could be using the monsters as a way of punishing uncooperative workers. You ask too many questions at work, you have to retrieve boxes from warehouse #7 that is currently a nest of shadow monsters. If the worker doesn't return they'll send someone else. This way they have an easy way to threaten people into submission. Naturally, the farmer ends up pissing the higher ups very often, which leads to the shadow brute video mentioned above, among others.

Actually Joja might have unique monsters, created when normal monsters and other supernatural beings spend too much time around Joja Cola.

You can go the horror route too. The building being haunted by former coworkers - silhouettes in the mirror at night, flickers some can see in the corner of their eyes, strange whispers when the farmer is about to fall asleep at the desk. Some hallways seem to go on for too long, time passes weirdly in some rooms, doors appearing and disappearing at random... the building is nearly an eldritch location at this point due to the amount of monsters and negative feelings building up between it's walls. Part of the reason some of the farmer's coworkers are acting weird is because they got replaced by the skinwalker that made the parking lot it's hunting ground.

Really, everything you can think of can be put here. I would go with a horror show with dark comedy elements for this, since the post got increasingly dark as I was writing it. Maybe the farmer even worked for Joja for far longer than it seems, since time is iffy there?

Below the cut are my first attempts at giving my farmer a backstory, and a few more details about my AU (because at this point is too big for a headcanon). It doesn't have much to do with the rest of the post, so feel free to skip this part. Also warning, it's kinda edgy and cringy, since I wanted a reason why the farmer, who in SVE is basically a genius with an absurd amount of talents, was a nobody who ended up in a dead-end office job. So I had to give the farmer multiple handicaps to explain this.

Also, what happened with that skeleton there? Sure, Morris is a dick and isn't a good boss but he wouldn't be able to just kill Claire and let her body in the store without consequences. So where the hell was the farmer working at?

***

As a slight explanation to tie all this mess together, my farmer got kicked out of the house at a very young age, like didn't even finish high school kinda young. Lived on the streets for a while and eventually got hired by Joja - the only ones who would hire him with no education orcredentials at this point (it also explain why he's rooting through the trash so casually, or why he's willing to eat anything, including raw fish and algae). In my headcanon, aside from normal workers, Joja also hires desperate people that no one cares for and ships them in certain isolated locations. These workers have different and much more dangerous jobs than normal Joja employees, and the death rate is pretty high.

They have gated mini-towns set up with their own apartments, offices, cafeterias, etc where these workers basically spend all their time in - and they become closer to indentured workers than normal employees. So everything mentioned above would happen in more than one building. The farmer would get a small salary from which he'd have to pay Joja back for the rented apartment, food, uniform, supplies and all that, which would leave him very little money. This is a strategy to keep people from being able to leave, plus there is a high fee that those who leave have to pay for breaking up their contract (which would explain why he moves in on the farm with only some spare change in his pockets). The farmer only managed to escape due to grandpa's letter.

All this is a well known secret. Due to the prolonged war, the political class of Ferngill Republic was vulnerable to Joja's bribes and promises and not only changed laws in their favor but also constantly closes it's eyes at Joja's abuse. Also, the economy isn't doing well at this point and there are worries that the Gotoro Empire might turn the war in it's favor, so as long as Joja keeps making profits to keep the economy afloat no one will bother them. So horror (and funny) stories and videos from Joja pop up fairly often and Joja doesn't really bother to remove them from the internet since they don't fear any punishment. At this point there's an entire sub-class of jokes featuring Joja employees - imagine airplane food jokes, but with Joja and more death. Most adventurers are also aware of the monster problems Joja is creating but can't do much about it aside from killing the monsters when Joja bothers to report them.

So this would also explain why the farmer is so good at killing monsters from the beginning. He had a lot of experience with dealing with monsters while being unarmed and defenseless against them. Now that he got a sword, even a really shitty one, monsters got much easier to handle.

I'd be very glad if the tachycardia that I've been going through since the last week would leave me alone. I get it. I'm stressed and overwhelmed and I've got a lot of shit to process yet.

Now, please, let me finish my lineart without ctrl+z-ing every single tiny line I do.

That'd be delighful.

Please.

ive been meaning to make this psa but i keep forgetting so-- here goes.

i would like to remind everyone to please make sure you read bio pages before interacting with my characters! i know, they are often very long, particularly vali’s, and im still working on making the formatting more accessible/easy to read, but theres *a lot* of important information there you would likely not know otherwise. . i dont expect you to memorize every single tidbit of information, but you can always check back on the bio to confirm or deny something about my character before you make a flat out assumption. or even just ask me! i dont bite!

 i understand that my about pages for my characters can get quite long and detailed, and that can put people off. people can forget things, and its easy to stumble over things in a big bio, thats fine. theres no shame at all in forgetting something or making a mistake, but i do begin to notice sometimes when people havent been giving my bio a proper read. though perhaps not as easily as i can tell when someone has put the effort in to read it, and trust me, i do take notice someone does that, and i appreciate it greatly. so thank you for that if you have taken time out of your day to give my bio a look at, i appreciate you. ive put a lot of thought, time, and effort into creating my pages, and making sure people have more than enough information to work with. thank you!
