#my opinions on this have changed a lottt

An Armandaniel confession 🙂

I don’t think Devil’s Minion happened in the 70s/80s. Not in the relationship sense.

I DO think Armand stalked Daniel and just watched his life get better/crumble/better/crumble over and over. “She wanted to say yes, but she didn’t trust you” because his ass was there in a big trench coat and sunglasses watching it all go down.

And now, after Daniel’s been turned, I think the reverse will happen. Daniel is searching for Armand. He’ll follow him.

putting in my two cents as an aroace hazbin fan to the whole alastor shipping debate (adding a cut below because this got long-)

before I start, it's important to remind everyone:

alastor is canonically ace and (semi)canonically aro, and that should be respected the same way we'd respect angel dust's identity as a gay man, or vaggie's as a sapphic woman.

"ace" and "aro", while also functioning as labels unto themselves, are umbrella terms for a lottt of identities. Some of which do include the ability to experience sexual and romantic attraction, in different ways and at different levels (demi, cupio, lith/lithro, grey, aro-and aceflux, the list goes on).

So, given all that, is it possible to interpret alastor as experiencing some level of romantic attraction, or sexual attraction? Of course, identities like the ones I listed above are just as valid as any other acespec and arospec identity.

So, what's the issue then? Right now, a lot of fans are using the breadth of aspec identities and experiences as a shield, to excuse them shipping him like they would an allosexual/alloromantic character.

Just to make it clear, that in itself is erasure. And I know that's a strong statement, and that there being such a broad aroace experience adds nuance to any statement you can make on that, but we have to acknowledge as a fandom that there are objectively wrong ways to handle aspec characters, both in the way we discuss them and in the way we portray them in fan works.

And before anyone says it, saying "alastor isn't real" or "fanon content won't change his canon sexuality" doesn't work when real life aspec people can't even look in a tag of a character that's supposed to represent them without seeing their identity erased. It's the way I feel attempting to engage with a lot of hazbin content, and I know a lot of my fellow aspec hazbin fans are feeling it as well.

So, what's the solution to all this? That's unfortunately kinda complicated. Everyone has a different opinion on what constitutes as erasure, what is good rep, how much benefit of the doubt we should give people, et cetera, and so everyone's solutions look different. In a way there also isn't a way to solve it, since aroace erasure is so normalized in fandom culture (not just the hazbin fandom; fandom culture as a whole) that there will always be a significant portion of fans who will ignore, erase, or otherwise deny alastor's or any other aroace character's sexuality.

So, to put my two cents on it:

My philosophy is that if you're going to ship alastor (or any aspec character for that matter), it's best to have an identity in mind for him to use as reference. For example, I think of alastor as sex-repulsed aroace, and I write him with that in mind. Whatever you pick can be a steadfast headcanon, an identity tailored to the story you want to tell, or one you want to explore in your fanwork, whether for fun or to educate yourself on it better.

What's better is that you don't even need to mention the sexuality itself in the work! Show don't tell is a great writing tool, and for alastor specifically, who canonically isn't aware of his sexuality, it works perfectly. Just simply creating with it in mind, asking yourself, "how would someone with [insert identity] experience this?" and going from there, makes a world of difference.

Just in terms of good fanfic etiquette, I'd also make sure to include it in the tags if you're posting it on ao3, just to make sure your readers know what's up and to help with filtering (I personally don't read any alastor ship fics that don't include the asexual or aromantic tag at this point). Bada bing bada boom, that's representation right there!

Since Alastor is one of very, very few ace characters in mainstream media, and even less aro characters in media period, us as a fandom creating good representation with him is really important, especially in terms of the breadth of aspec identities. We don't get much representation, so claiming he's definitively one label or another isn't productive, and hurts the community in the long run. Fanfiction is first and foremost an exploration of canon, so why not play around with what "aro" and "ace" can look like for him?

Case and point, I've seen some incredible ship fics that headcanon him as demisexual and/or demiromantic, and do a great job representing those identities. I've also seen some really good fics that portray him as sex-repulsed, and others that portray him as sex-neutral or positive. All of that is great, and again, even if it isn't directly mentioned: adding subtext, putting it in the tags, and even simply writing the fic with the sexuality in mind does wonders.

Me personally, I headcanon Alastor with the same identity as me; sex- and romance-repulsed aroace, but open to queerplatonic relationships. That doesn't mean fics that interpret him with a different aspec identity are less valid, or are interpreting him wrong. All of it is valid representation.

And that's not even getting into queerplatonic relationships, which is what I put Alastor into for my own headcanons (queerplatonic radioapple fic when). For that, please do your own research, but remember that queerplatonic relationships tend to look different for every couple. They can be poly, include kissing and physical intimacy, or look just like what most people would consider a regular friendship or regular romance.

So, can you ship aroace characters? Sure you can, as long as it isn't at the expense of their sexuality, or more accurately, the representation their sexuality gives to a historically underrepresented group.

That's pretty much it from me, please remember to support aspec fanartists and fanfic writers, and happy (early) aromantic spectrum awareness week for all my fellow arospecs!!

GIVES US THE VOID HAND FREAKS LORE!!! (You dont have to if you dont want to)

OH BOY. well with a nice little request like that how can i say no 😇 

HUGE preface that this is very AU-heavy because. like I got no beef with the actual canon but I just want to play around with my favourite characters like little dollies if that is okay. :]

To even get to the freaks though we do have to start at the beginning of this for it all to make even a lick of sense and to me anyway it feels like a lot.. warning not one centimeter of this is without some form of mental degradation and shameless self-indulgence (<- failing to cope with the lasting effects of cringe culture)

absolutely MASSIVE text post belo im dead serious:

Nothing much really differs from the origin of the Operator/Drifter themselves, all the Zariman shit still happens etc. Operator was kind of a bastard child (shes 12 most of them are, but i digress LOL), very much the kinda person to stick their nose in everyone’s business and try to “fix” all their problems if she thought something could be gained from it (sound familiar?), be it a compensation from the people themselves or from her seniors getting basically surface-level information about it all and being like aww what a good kid!! and gassing her up with all this praise. Most other kids definitely knew what she was doing, or at least didnt like her or the vibe she put off, but it didnt really stop her cause that’s not whose opinion she necessarily cared about the most.

When the Zariman incident happened, her ENTIRE support group became her enemy and she was left with nothing. She got her just desserts alright and it broke her, like really broke her, like watching a spoiled brat finally get what’s coming to em and she genuinely did like a total heel-turn in terms of personality temperament etc. She became a lottt more prone to acting childish and favoured emotional outbursts over rational thinking, since she didnt have her people that she looked up to anymore, she didnt have her Glue so to speak. She went from main character syndrome to acting how a 12 year old would probably realistically act in a fr life-or-death scenario overnight

Being a child in a traumatizing situation she latched onto really anything she could get. any distraction. desperately wanting something or someone to trust. so when that damnable doppelganger shows its face, behaving exactly how she used to behave towards other kids (not that she had the self-awareness to deduce that at the time), she instantly ate from the hand that feeds. And there was that :)

Nothing strays from canon between this point and the First Dream. Shes still very much a petulant crybaby and kind of sucks at being a Tenno but thats neither here nor there,, in the Dream, though, is when things start to REALLY deviate.

During the years of war and strife and child-soldier-ism with everyone else, she had a lot of time to think. Shes well aware that all this void power shit wasnt possible before their time on the Zariman, and as far as she was aware she was pretty certain that didnt change the moment they boarded. Over time she fights the memory suppression of her traumas to dig up answers and narrows it right down to that moment she shook hands with herself, something clearly odd and nonsensical, now viewing it with a bit more clarity of mind and basically coming to the epiphany of Oh You Motherfucker. theres no way it was not you. theres no way ALL OF THIS (the existence of the tenno and by extension their eventual drafting into the war, and all of the bullshit that follows that) was not because of you. And when they get told that theyre all going to be put into a cryosleep, because theyre more trouble than theyre worth, really, to just to give everyone around them more peace of mind well. shes quite upset about it. She and other kids definitely try to fight their way out of it (they dont make it far) and rest assured theres no shortness of bawling and sobbing, but deep in there there is anger. She starts to get real pissed off about this whole ordeal and honestly just fucking everything that has lead to it, that piece of her old self that had the capacity for rage and ambition bubbling through the surface.

When she was placed into the First Dream, that quickly manifested well outside of her control. She herself was entirely lacking in conscience, but that essence of herself that existed just beyond her own grasp, that metaphorical spirit that whatever youd want to call it, began to fester in some crevice deep in the Void, not having truly left the place after the events of the Zariman unfolded. It festered and festered and grew until every horrible negative emotion that she Could Not experience in her current state snapped free and went on a violent witch hunt for exactly who the hell made her this way and WHEN she found It, that manifestation didnt relent in the slightest as it quite literally beat the absolute ever-loving dogshit out of the Indifference and (taking some of the various Murmur codex entries very literally) lashed its very flesh apart like a goddamn. kindergarten art project.

Once all of her anger was spent and she realized that didnt actually fix any of her problems, and the bastard was busy reeling for a while because, what in the fuck was all that about, she was left just a lonely, sad empty husk. And because of the Void’s receptivity with negative emotion, it did something with that, taking those lacerated fragments and turning them into something greater, turning them into companions to fill that lonely gap, into the Murmur. they are very No Thoughts creatures and dont understand what existence really is, and like most freshly borned creatures they imprint on the first thing they see (the Indifference) though they know at least the smell of who ultimately made them and are constantly chasing that trail to find the source (hence their appearance in reality in the albrecht labs because we dont really Know in canon what theyre looking for in there exactly (afaik) so I’m justttt rewriting that. for me 😇)

Once they inevitably have their cool reunion or whatever (which takes place a lot sooner than the normal story progression, I just am not sure on where to put a pin) Operator latches onto them just as much as they latch onto her, their Maker, and she ends up neglecting a lot of her responsibilities to just run and play with the little freaks all day ^-^ which really pisses off the Drifter. and makes HER take up the Operator’s mantle, a good chunk of the normal questline being done by her instead.

NOW. for what you ACTUALLY asked for. Im so sorry 😭

THESE three bastards: Prodah, Nahkip, Vedah, in that order. In this little AU thing, Murmur fragments have this little bit of individuality to them in the form of those lighter blue stripes or “veins”, which are more like indentations in their skin that faintly glow with their Void energy. The more a fragment has or the more unique they are, the more respected the individual is in a sort of innate social hierarchy system. If a fragment is born with no veins whatsoever, if they are unmarred and “perfect” so to speak, they are essentially bullied and outcasted to some unloved corner of the Great Indifference to wallow alone, and for a faction all about unity and working together that isnt very nice. :)

Vedah and Nahkip are the two I probably have the least juice for. Not that I dont like them (far from it) I just have yet to reeeeally get to them ;; I at LEAST have personalities and such down

Vedah is like a curious naive little dog. It’s very erratic and jumpy and is more often a follower than a leader. It loves games but gets bored easily, and loves trying to make friends. It definitely makes the most racket out of the three, big chatterbox this one (I love the sounds the fragments make... they are such screechy little creatures it's soooo cute)

Nahkip is probably the most “normal” out of them. It doesn’t vocalize often and carries itself in a bit of a high regard (not necessarily in a conceited way, moreso it is aware that it is of a somewhat higher caliber than most and incidentally behaves as such). It’ll politely listen to others and offer input when it’s spoken to, but once all is said and done, it returns to pretending you don’t exist, going about its own business.

Prodah, the last fellow, is (was?) one of those unfortunate veinless souls. It often found itself a victim of many fights, and it quickly learned that trying to defend itself only made matters substantially worse. In one particularly nasty scenario, its ring and pinky finger were completely snapped off by an attacker and ground to dust. It tried to fight its way out of exile often, but eventually succumbed to the hand it’d been dealt, fleeing to some unaccompanied outcropping overlooking the Void.

Vedah found it, eventually, having sniffed it out and tracked it from where it hid buried in the sand for god knows. Prodah of course, very angry and scared and traumatized all at once, didnt take too kindly to the ordeal, but Vedah’s “people skills” and a rare instance of patience helped bring the guy just enough out of its shell to at least stop regressing into fight-or-flight everytime it (Vedah) moved :] Still VERY skittery and non-trusting. just a bit more… tolerable.

Vedah and Nahkip are friends. or. at least Vedah sees it that way. Nahkip tolerates it but could really give or take. Vedah always wants to show around its new friends to its current friends, and Prodah is not an exception even if it really should be (hence the naivety; you can’t “look guys it’s cool dont be mean okay :D” your way out of everything girl)

LUCKILY Nahkip seems to not gaf. At least not in a bad way. No it actually definitely gaf because it’s been ages since it’s last seen a veinless fragment still kicking around (esp since there is essentially no reproduction of these creatures, whatever exists is all that will ever be (unless MITW feels like getting flayed again. for some reason) so once you’re killed or whatever it’s gg) and is very surprised that one is still alive, figured over time it should have just gone feral and torn itself apart from insanity or decomposed on its own, but it didn’t. and Nahkip is a bit of a studious fellow. so it is very interested in this creature.

There isn’t too much coherent lore after this.. lots of bits and bobs and meat and potatoes but not the most fleshed-out explanation for it all? At some point the three become close enough with one another (maybe more spiritually than anything, cause it likely isn’t so apparent from an outside perspective) that they form a Severed Warden like some sort of Digimon evolution or whatever 😇 There is some large gap of time where the Operator does not see them, the entire Prodah arc happening under her nose so when she next greets them they are together as the Warden and shes so proud of em ;; she doesnt really understand how it happened/works but she knows Vedah and Nahkip are in there and they do their best to introduce Prodah to her. After some coaxing it uncurls itself to meet her and she's absolutely appalled to see a friend in such a sorry state (being a Warden didn’t heal old scars), and figured that wasn’t any way for someone to live. so she removes her gloves and gently holds its hand in her own Void-corrupted ones (that I’m sure most Operators have anyway; shes extremely self-conscious about people seeing them but the Murmur are similar to her, in a way, so with them she relents) to offer that connection and comfort with it. In the same motion, some transfer of power takes place and after a brief moment, Prodah finds itself whole again with two new fingers to replace its lost ones, brimming with the light of Void energy. IN TURN, though, not such is without consequence, the Operator now missing those exact same digits that Prodah initially lacked. She quite literally gave it her own (which is why its lighter-colored fingers in the image do not have the standard issue Murmur claws. also this throws the Indifference for a loop because ??? bastard child I gave you that for YOU. not for you to just give handouts to thralls 😐). This is a complete heel turn for Prodah because while it was initially a perfect, veinless creature and demonized to all hell and back.. to receive marks from the Maker itself??? WILDLY different story. Okay we respect you now. like a lot. like A LOT a lot.

I absolutely had plans to include The Fragmented One in my little repertoire of creatures as well :3c For this I’m going to pull directly from my brief lore document instead of just reiterating what is perfectly fine to copy-paste instead, if no one minds:

“To make an example for the Operator, the Drifter assists Loid in secret in purging the Laboratories of Murmur presence, but ends up slaying the Warden of Vedah, Nahkip, and Prodah in the process. The Operator’s heartrending grief at their passing draws uneasiness from the Indifference itself, and her dormant, volatile energy involuntarily wrenches forth their fragments from the afterlife, as if they had never perished at all (this is unknown to her; her döppelganger is the one to impart this information, yet not knowledge of their whereabouts). She dedicates restless hours to searching for them, neglecting her own health, too nerve-wracked to properly eat or sleep. It is after a week’s passing that the Operator discovers an odd formation within The Great Indifference and, upon touching its surface, the structure breathes in new life, lost fragments rising from beneath the sand to create the One. Upon spotting Vedah, Nahkip, and Prodah atop the bow of the amalgamation, she becomes overjoyed at their revivification, triggering a transference of power between them; the Operator’s Void energy unknowingly begins to bleed over into the One, a deadly power donation creating an impossibly cataclysmic entity with capabilities yet to be measured. In anointment, the Operator honorably dubs the creature Fronrein—’tandem roar’—and it is forever at her beck and call.”

this Fragmented One is no stronger than the one you face normally. I just wanted to squeeze in something for my lore that could possibly explain why that fucker is SO god damn brutal in Steel Path.

Lastly (thank Christ right), something I haven’t yet fully fleshed out is that I want to pull the consciousness of the main fragments into the Operator’s warframes. Likely happened at some point during Fronrein’s birth. it’d be neat for these friends to exist in two places at once :) seems totally feasible to me given how freaky the Void gets. Vedah inhabits her Wisp, Nahkip her Protea, and Prodah her Harrow. None of this is planned, it just sort of Happens. the fourth arm of the One also gets dragged into this (dont have much for it. similar mannerisms to Nahkip I know at least), being placed into the Drifter’s Chroma, and she is NOT happy about it. very peeved actually. She hates these fucking things and to now have them basically be sentient frames walking and (telepathically) talking around the ship MUST be some sort of cruel divine punishment. She mellows out though, after some grueling amount of time, becoming a bit more platonic with her Chroma after slowly letting her own defenses down and just bonding and talking with the guy (now that these Murmurs can actually do that), but still is a bit standoffish with the Operator’s frames.

Operator thinks it’s cool as all hell. She’s brainstorming what all frames she could possibly get next and then try to shove Murmurs into those ones too. MUCH to the Drifter’s chagrin. god help them.

ANYWAY. I dont want to beta read this again I just hope it makes sense. Above all I hope it satisfies your ask ;; this is nearing 3,000 on the word count and actually took multiple days to write LOL /// thank you for giving me the opportunity to spill about these guys :’]

Hey Messr!!

I was thinking about your opinion/some hcs on Tess's reaction when she first sees the reader (If you need some context: I imagined Tess, Ellie and Joel coming to Jackson and Maria sends someone to present the town for them the next day) How does Tess feel inside? Cause ber face doesnt say much, but Im sure she must feel a lottt

Hello my sweet!

Rambles below!

I have written something sortaaa along the lines of this in a fic I’ve not finished/posted yet. Because in my head there’s two ways this could go.

The first ( which is what I went with in my fic to add a little angst lmao ) is that Tess doesn’t like Jackson right away. And along with that doesn’t particularly like reader. Because it’s too unfamiliar, it’s such a huge dramatic change. And then you add in reader who is happy and joyful and wanting to welcome her? Yeah she wouldn’t vibe

BUT

We then have the cute fluffy side of the coin.

The side of the coin where she is smitten immediately. Like you gotta think that Tess at this point would’ve been on the road for months. And now she’s safe. And Ellie is safe and Joel is safe. And she hasn’t had sight nor sound of another woman that isn’t tryna murder her since leaving Boston. And then she sees you? She kinda would ignore it at first, but then she spends more time with you and she can’t help the way she’s feeling.

She would definitely not tell you though. Not at first. She wouldn’t say anything but inside she’s thrilled every time she’s paired up with you on runs, or when she bumps into you in the Bison. I have this reoccurring Hc that Tess really really mellows out in Jackson, soft Tess is my sweet baby girl and I love her

And when she doesn’t finally tell you honestly she’s terrified. Which confuses her so much because she’s never been worried or hesitant to go after what she wanted in the past. If she liked someone. She had them. But she’s scared with you. She’s scared you’re gonna reject her, or not believe her. And she’s overjoyed when you reciprocate. Because she finally had everything she needs. She’s safe. Her lil makeshift family is safe. And she’s in love. She has you.

[egcdeath]

you trust my opinion and feedback i’m literally crying🥹

this is my opinion and feedback:

the reason i liked that one anon’s idea abt reader initiating the case was because to me it was abt reader coming to the final realization that nathan is at such a level of toxic it’s not fair to keep chloe around him more than necessary, and despite knowing that, i didn’t initially register nathan as abusive, i read him more as just not necessarily a good guy. but when i think about it for literally more than two seconds it’s so obvious that he’s emotionally abusive, manipulative and controlling, especially of the reader,, but i liked the idea that reader started the case being the protective mother she is,

HOWEVERRRRR: upon further reflection, it actually does make a LOT MORE sense (at least to me) for nathan to be going after custody of chloe to control reader, rather than reader trying to limit nathan’s access to chloe. bcos in my mind nathan isn’t really a threat to chloe, physically speaking, but he is unfortunately willing to use her in order to get to reader. so it makes a lot of sense that if he hears that reader and chloe are moving in with joel, nathan, either subconsciously or otherwise, realizes it would be even harder for him to control reader, and the only way he has any control over her is through chloe.

and, at least in his own twisted mind, he genuinely thinks he has a case because joel did punch him once (nathan was asking for itt,, i’m a joel defender and apologist literally no matter what) and from nathan’s pov, JOEL is the one trying to control reader and chloe (does that make sense?? i feel like i didn’t word that right but i hope my point got across) like obviously joel is very much NOT controlling anyone but nathan doesn’t see it that way

but yeah thinking about it more it makes a lottt more sense for nathan to have started the case and i like that more for the story, thematically AND based on the character development

anyways this is actually a full length essay MLA format and all, works cited page to follow ,,

-🍓

i love your feedback and opinions!! i feel like you giving me an avenue to talk about what i’m doing and why is so helpful for me to flesh out my characters, and it’s just helpful to hear an outside perspective!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

i definitely see the appeal of both catalysts! i’m definitely biased towards nathan initiating it, mostly because i’ve already written a few thousand words around that lol

i think the reader definitely would initiate it if she had any hope that she would actually be able to take away custody from him, but i think she still feels pretty powerless a lot of the time when it comes to #that man and probably thinks that there’s no way she could get full custody. i also think that she doesn’t know how mid of a father nathan has been, other than not really showing up for her stuff. like i don’t think chloe has ever explicitly told her that she doesn’t like going over there because he’s just a deadbeat. like when they were married he was definitely doing Some fatherly duties because she convinced him to, but now he’s kinda just there. and chloe definitely notices. but because of that i don’t think she has any real reason to question his ability to parent to the point where he’d completely lose custody. let me also clarify that nathan never abused chloe. he also never did it in front of her (to his and the reader’s knowledge) so the reader doesn’t have any reason to think that would be going on either.

i definitely agree with your reasoning! nathan kinda just sees chloe as a means to an end, and the end is having control over the reader. i think nathan definitely views relationships as a sort of power game, where the man in the relationship basically owns his significant other. and i think nathan has already felt emasculated by joel, and now in his mind, joel has possession over HIS possession, and he will do anything to change that, even if it means having to take on a daughter he doesn’t really want to be responsible for.

i love a good full length essay!! i love hearing about other people’s thoughts and ideas but especially yours strawb!! thanks 🫶🏽🍓

[luckyyyduckyyy]

Oooh! A BATIM AU sounds like it could be a fun time!

I haven't been keeping up with ask blogs for a longgg time, (Undertale had me in a chokehold in middle school - I'm in college now lmao) so I can't be much help with that aspect, butttt what I'll put here will be from what I've personally observed from the DCA fandom itself, and from a writer and artist perspective. :)

Hope this will be some help! It's alright if ya don't take all that I suggest, they're all just my opinions in the end - Your AU can be made and handled however you'd like!

Memorable/unique design:

I know not all ask blogs use visuals to answer asks, but having at least a character reference sheet Pinned or easily accessible will get people more interested in the characters they're interacting with.

Especially since this is an AU, something that'll make Sun and Moon stand out from cannon and look separate from each other will get people interested! Looking at characters from BATIM they're usually dressed pretty simply, with their shape language doing most of the talking while the clothes/accessories imply their role.

So, if you want to do a simple design, you have a lottt of free wiggle room! A lot of people do tend to enjoy complicated designs too, and if you want to do one you totally have room to as well - just remember to have a focal point in mind! (Usually it's the face, but it can be an important element of the outfit too.)

Here's some AUs that I think have successful designs if you want some inspiration (Mix of simple and complicated!): GITM/Ghost In The Machine, Pluck Your Heartstrings, Harpy AU, Candy AU, Sleuth Jesters, LDR/Love Death Rollerskates, and any Mer/Mermay design honestly lol

(There are definitely many many mannnny more great designs out there, these are just off the top of my head!)

Specialized Stylization: (completely art based advice - you can skip if not relevant :) )

If you DO plan on answering asks with art/visuals, sometimes half of the appeal is just an artist's style! Don't be afraid to add your own flavor of shape language or color into it. Not only to make it your own, but to convey what kind of personalities/characters the audience is interacting with.

If you were to draw Bendy for example, maybe his small form would look round and cartoony, clean, have highlights, maybe even hints of blue in the ink black of his body. Then if you were to draw his brute/demon form, maybe the overall shape is more jagged and made of straight/scratchy lines that come to a point. The color could be pure black and dull or have hints of a red undertones. Even doing a slight background change (color, shading type, overall scene) between the two forms gives off different tones - I imagine even doing these slight differences can indirectly direct asks to point in ways you'd want them to go!

(I think it would be especially effective if you're planning on going into the horror aspect of both BATIM and FNAF. CREEPY BOIS!)

Mixed Plot Relevance:

This is more my personal tastes on crossover AUs and writing, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt!

In things like Crossovers, a reason as to why the characters are in this world and how their story has changed is a big deal. Wether it be that Sun and Moon got taken over by the ink as animatronics or that they were born from the ink can change the story and it's relevance to each other's worlds significantly. The best part about crossover AUs, in my opinion, is finding out how much of the story leans into the included franchises!

You could completely make it a BATIM world and just include the FNAF characters who would have an alternative background that spawn them from the ink machine or replace characters from BATIM. You could make it a FNAF based world and have the BATIM world bleed into it, almost like some sort of corruption. Any which way, it's a fascinating time to figure out how they'd all blend together and is certainly a good mystery for the audience. People love seeing iconic characters come up unexpectedly, or expectedly but having a postponed reveal - finding out everyone's roles in a new universe can really flesh out the world your characters live in!

You don't need a ton of characters though, even just mentioning their existence and relationships from time to time can be enough!

(Bonus points if you have special designs for them too, since more characters mean more for people to latch onto. I interact mostly with the art side of DCA Tumblr, so from that perspective, having characters for people to draw will give more chances of artists interacting :) )

Thats all I got! Hopefully you can take something away from this, and good luck with the ask blog!!! ^^

HELLO! I'm a sorta newer creator here and id like to know if anyone could give me some pointers on a AU I'm working on where Sundrop and Moondrop are in the Bendy And The Ink Machine universe! I would like to kno what could make this au more appealing and it will be a Ask blog so please if you want wanna see more of this give me a follow! Anyways thank you for your time!

I think going off of MANIA and people saying it’s a bad album I think they kinda knew people wouldn’t “get” it… and that’s why they put Wilson (Expensive Mistakes) on there and like. “if I could get my shit together I’m gonna run away and never see any of you again” and “I became such a strange shape from trying to fit in” and in the music video they are literally SELLING themselves (out) like!!! Their brains I can’t

But I think that song has a lot of similarities to Thriller like “crowds are won and lost and won again but our hearts beat for the die hards” —> “There’s nothing more cruel to be loved by everybody but you” kinda feels connected to me in a way I can’t exactly explain. Idk. I feel like Wilson is also a hodgepodge of a lot of different stuff so it’s difficult to glean a meaning from it but I do feel like it’s trying to do what Thriller (and also The Take Over, Breaks Over tbh) was doing, a “fuck you, I’m changing my sound AGAIN, you all make me want to run away bc you can’t handle change for one second, life is chaos ANYWAY, let me be chaotic to help me deal” and idk. I feel like it’s the natural progression from those IOH songs, like “at this point I’m done with this shit, I’m too old to care, I’m not staying the same for your comfort”. I think that’s SUCH an important song on the album tho for that reason when they did like a full 180 from SRAR and AB/AP which were more similar than they were different in that they were both more mainstream pop rock albums for the most part. Like if FOB was just trying to cash in on trends lmao they would’ve done the EDM thing a lottt earlier since it was a lot bigger at the time they were doing the pop rock shtick in like 2013-2016. Which idk. I guess they’re still fundamentally pop rock but u know what I mean, they bent genre a lot for MANIA In ways they didn’t for the prior two albums.

Also I hope you are feeling better :)

1) im not quite better yet as you may be able to tell from my still being up at almost 2am but getting there

2) idk what to say except rt^ like id say fall out boy is, on average, alt rock, just because they pull from so many different genres that it feels limiting to pick any one prefix but ultimately fall out boy is fall out boy. they do what they want when they want and if their fans want to come along for the ride were welcome to. were also welcome to express dissatisfaction (iirc once a fan told patrick she was personally disappointed with his ep and he paid her back right then and there) so when they said "crowds are won and lost and won again but our hearts beat for the diehards" they really meant it.

i think youre right in saying mania is a more mature version of ioh, i feel like they both approach fame and mental illness, but they put emphasis in different places. ioh focuses on fame, because when youre young youre kind of a mirror and what people think of you matters a lot no matter what. but mania focuses on mental health because fame is just a part of life now, and when you get older you (should) learn that other people arent you, and you dont Have to take their opinion into account.

ultimately no notes anon great take

Probably counterintuitive but there’s just a real lottt to think about with him because he’s (in my opinion) the least developed character in 12 angry men. He’s like… soooo mysterious and even… heh… sexy… 🤤

My favourite thing about his character himself is seeing how the way he acts changes from person to person. He’s fundamentally a lot like 4 (his most valid opponent) but his social intelligence and extreme empathy is what makes his stance more appealing jurors than 4 could. He mostly presents himself as a paragon of good and truth because that’s what people like. But he will stoop low if he thinks that is what he needs to break somebody which is shown in his interactions with Three. I’m not he where I’m going with this point but he treats different jurors differently and I think that’s interesting

Another more obvious reason is that at his core, juror Eight was simply written to be liked. The traits listed in the character descriptions of Four and Eight can be mixed and matched to either and stil be accurate but Eight’s is notably more pleasant.

While all of the other jurors have more clear personalities, (because he adapts himself according to who hes really trying to sway) he’s a mix of everybody. We see more variety in him than the other people which means more of the audience is able to see themselves in him. Being a blank slate paired him being so good makes the audience feel good about themselves. This means I’m literally him and I’m really good and cool. He’s just super easy to project onto i guess

I’m not sure if I’ve really even said anything understandable just now or if any of this makes sense. I’m just rambling but I really really like juror Eight. Really, I think every single one of the jurors are really compelling characters though (except Seven 😞)

YOOOO im so happy to find another 12 angry men enjoyer on this website. who r your favorites (mine are 4 and 12 because theyre hot and neurodivergent coded)

Kind of a boring answer but my favourite has to be Eight by a longggg shot. I love him SO mich 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

3, 4, 5, 9, 10

3. What’s your favourite shirt?

it changes a lot but right now i’ve been wearing a lot of plain white tshirts that come in 5 packs from the target kids section. honorable mention goes to my black 924 gilman bro-tank 

4. Favourite pants?

these black skinny jeans made of raw denim that my mom bought me. they fit perfectly and they’re a lottt sturdier than the flimsy skinny jeans i’ve been wearing all my life 

5. Favourite boots/shoes?

my docs obviously. although it’s been so hot i’ve been more inclined to wear my vans lately. also today i found a pair of maroon adidas sambas at buffalo exchange that are about to be my shit 9. Opinion on snapbacks?

i’m more of a dad hat kinda gay. i wear them to work to keep the sun off my face. either my camo oakland A’s one (that’s a baseball team for all you nerds) or my black ben davis one. i feel like my head’s to small to look good in a more traditional wider brimmed snapback

10. Do you have any butch friends? How did you meet?

yes!! i love my butch friends with all my heart. met a really good butch friend @ezriorre on leftbook and i joke that it’s the only good thing that came out of leftbook. 3 of my coworkers are butch and i just got drinks with one of them (who i may or may not have a crush on shhhh). also my girlfriend and i have been becoming acquainted with some of the older butches at our local gay bar which is super rad

[cosmictulips]

hiii! i wanna pop in this ask before free readings close, so i want to know about my twin flame. did i meet them already or not and how they're like as a person. thank you so much for doing this!- A🤡

Hello =D You got a lottt of strong energy on this one. so I got Death, Judgement & Ace of Swords as the general reading. I also wanna mention Temperance. Strength is the overall energy.

soooooo I don’t think you know this person.  there’s going to be a heavyyyy connection with this person as soon as you meet them.   Judging by the ace of swords here, I think you two might meet online. or maybe where you work. like it seems like someone is going to come up to you and just start talking to you.  or perhaps you learn of the person by like being introduced to them, or someone mentions them to you or vice versa.  

I get the feeling they’ll be very intense. and you can feel it.  it might scare you honestly lol.  but it’ll be a strong connection.  like magnetic lol.  very piercing eyes. like I’m getting either a very light blue or like darrrkkk brown.  ya know?   very transformative kind of person.  they probably love to talk about all the “taboo” subjects and probably change their opinions and philosphies a lot. Will probably travel a lot to be honest.

they also... pass judgement on other people lol.  not to say they are judgemental but I feel like they are very good at giving people karma lol. i don’t think they physically like hurt people but I feel like their energy like manifests it if that makes sense. they’re probably very good at going through changes and at manifesting realities. karma is a bitch but this person is even more so lol I get the vibe that they are also very patient.  so it’s not like you’re going to see right away how angry they can get.  I feel like they would make a great teacher lol.  but like, they feel like they loom. maybe space out. their presence is just so strong, and they’re so confident but in a quiet way lol. 

if they ain’t a scorpio or a cap I’m going to be very surprised lol.  or like have them as strong energies in their chart. 

so be on the look out for this person.  I feel like you’re going to meet them thise year and be absolutely intimidated by them lol

I hope this helps =D

if you need anything, feel free to stop on by =D

[youll-be-fine]

Hey this is totally right, what you're feeling, i can't say that i fully can relate but i can relate to it a lot like aaaa lottt , but for your situation, you're absolutely correct that is too friggin much, like WTF,yes you're a responsible adult, yes you won't do shit, you can control yourself and they need to know this, step one ig should be telling this to all of your family together, if they're good enough to understand that what you feel what your opinion is i think they'll stop (but i don't really believe the fact that you haven't already tried this 😅 so if you haven't yet then try this, in a serious tone and in a normal tone don't get angry cuz calmly make them understand this, well that is if you already haven't)

step 2 might be, when you interact with your friends and they say they cry and stuff, ask them that do they not have emotions bring a little science in this, try to win every argument you can with FACTS 100% ACCURATR FACTS that'll shut them up ig and there they'll be able to see where they went wrong ig,

Step 3 also the last in my opinion will be to start doing whatever you feel like doing which isn't at all wromg like talking to male people and female people isn't wrong at all, like start doing it, and when they try to stop you tell them what is even wrong in that, if you're mentality is so sick that you can't stand the fact that two different genders can talk together then i don't even know what your mentality is, it's not even like I'm tryna be sticky to them i just making normal friends, and by that the topic normal comes, tell them that you forgot what normal really is, tell them that shit, cuz i really think you're forgetting what normal is, i as a young adult if i can't even make friends, how an i even gonna survive in this cruel world, like my mental illness ,adhd, anxiety disorder do y'all even know what that is and for the sake of god don't tell me y'all don't believe i have, cuz y'all have shut your eyes to my problems that you're not even able to rectify what you're doing, don't be so classic minded the work has changed open your eyes, take my illness seriouely otherwise it'll affect me in the future, i know if you cared enough for me you would've treated me right, and just make them open their eyes and see where THR world is now thazzit as per me

I am going to talk about something I just realized. They say, for people with controlling parents, you just need to wait until you complete school and join college and move out. Your life will be yours.

That is a illusion. Well for me it is. Parents still got the strings that pull us to act however they want us to.

Since young I have been conditioned to believe that what parents say is absolutely correct and any other way will always land me in trouble. Then if I got into trouble, it will be the end of the world for me. If I don't follow what they say, the society will hate me and exclude me.

Even my parents themselves say that only until college they are restraining me, after that they won't care about what I am doing anymore. This included my interpersonal relationships with people and my social presence.

But now when I am actually going, I get this threatening lecture from them on how to be isolated and not stand out and don't do things which attract guys(it's really derogatory for me, I literally spent my whole school life without romantic involvement with anyone, not just because it was prohibited but because I don't actually had interest in them in that way) and those things included laughing and getting friendly with them (ugh) and same with girls too, don't make friends and don't get all empathetic with crying people and make friends with losers just like how you did in school (eye roll) (I really hate when my parents insults my friends).

Okay I get it where they come from, but things start bothering or become dangerous when they at extreme levels and I don't really think I have given them the impression that I am the type to get in trouble over these things. They automatically assume the worst about me just like anyone else(aka the famous annoying relatives and community people)do in their generation, I really needed from them not to do it.

Back on how freedom is an illusion, I get the ultimatum to have zero to minimum social life and fun throughout my whole 5 years of college.

You know I was actually planning to just study and not get distracted but I am the type to go with the flow. If I am able to balance well between my studies and other things which are healthy then why not. But with this ultimatum, if I actually enjoy doing other stuff, I will always feel guilty and in a constant fear of that something bad will happen to me because I am not following what my parents instructed me.

I am an adult and I know the limits and my mental health and my well being. But it always boils down to "When you ll come at our age you ll understand, you'll look back and realize you wasted your time."

You know it's actually good I realized that I ll still be controlled and now try to break free from the notation fixed in my mind.

That's why I asked...."how to rebel in the safest way??"

[fuyuyuu]

Just ranting...

Haaa there’s a person on FB who I really hate because they are really insensitive, impolite, self-centered, irrational, etc and really... just thinking of them makes me feel uncomfortable...

If you wanna know how impolite they are, imagine having a heated conversation about your OTP with your circle of friends but suddenly a stranger pops in and says eww that’s their NOTP... and refuses to understand why the group are angry with them. 

In addition, after I unfriend and eventually block them since I can stand no more of their nonsense (guess what, they share the MekaDan’s daze poster I posted and said anything without Hiyori in it was trash), they friggin lie to others that the reason I block them was because that person loves Hiyori and I hate Hiyori... that I am not worth being friends with a ha... 

Maybe I’m one of the better case since I was not really fond of her and we didn’t talk that much from the beginning, but her old friends, who sometimes tried to support her in conflicts, had it much worst. Well for example, there’s someone who has played with them for 2/3 years before finally unable to bear their behaviors. When she posted a stat saying “though we were good friends for years, etc”, that person posted on their timeline something between the line of “we were never good friends don’t overestimate yourself”.  ~

How to put this... since I know they lie about me to people, and they are really outgoing and have a big circle... I am always scared that many will believe her lies and hate me... Since I am not just myself but an admin for pages and translator, I am scared people will turn to hate the characters or the works I love too...

Well and I myself am not a loveable person at first place. Most of the time, when I find something irritating or unjust, I can’t resist the urge to voice my complaints/opinions... Of course I try to pick lighter and less severe words from what I actually think *cough*, but later on when I read my words again I still think I am a little too harsh... The people who are neither stranger *on public pages* or close friends who I can almost always state my opinions or dislikes... but are in my friend list *since we like the same thing for example* are the hardest to deal with. Like... I may voice my opinion for a few times but what should I do if tons of things they post irritate me... and well sometimes it’s not that they are completely wrong, but it’s more like their attitudes/viewpoints that got on my nerve. Of course I am by no means some kind of yankee to suddenly go to people’s stat and yell “yooo kiddie I don’t like what ya say, go repent ur self and obey every word of mine from now on koraaaa!!”... so I usually try to ignore them. Sadly, there are times, especially when I’m stressed out, and I regard too many of their opinions about something I like completely unfair and unjust, I will be more attentive to that person than usual and a lot of things I would usually ignore became unbearable I don’t think I want to talk to this person anymore, I would unfriend them. 

Guess what... one day, several of my friends sent me screencaps of the person who I unfriended last week/two weeks (A) before or so talking to “that person” *who posted a status to badmouth me*, telling them she was disappointed in me - that even if she s uncomfortable with something a person posts she d not choose to unfriend/block them - that I also post what she felt uncomfortable with or a couple she doesn’t ship but chose to ignore me *I still never understand why she decided to bring up the couple thing btw* - that I once blocked her 2/3 years ago for a trivial reason *I block pretty much everyone who likes my gf’s anniversary post before me~ so that I can always be the first - ofc for who is close to me enough I will send a mes to tell them to please unlike it - but for s.o I rarely talk to, block is a given since I’ve warned about it countless times*. Well your tolerance may be high but mine is not and I feel the need to get rid of unnecessary stress.  Oh I forgot to mention... before I unfriended A, I wrote two (maybe three) rant stats about how A and co and another person irritates me to no ends. Of course I only refer to them as “the 1st/2nd person that I can hardly stand”. It was simply rant stats which I sometimes use to release stress. I don’t think anyone besides those I was talking about would realize it was them. A told “that person” that she knew it was her but couldn’t do anything because I’m some kind of all high and mighty people - what I say are always right - people will choose to believe me - such a lowclass as her wont stand a chance... Just because I’m older than you and I manage some FB fanpages, a simple task that everyone can easily carry out if they have access to the Internet and somehow you think I’m “highclass”? 

I’m sorry for anyone who still reads this for dragging on too long... but well “that person” of course wouln’t let the chance slide and replied I did that because I had no human heart and etc. 

Well I’m about to go off the track again but I’ve had bad impression with that A person for a long time... the reason why I felt maybe she had changed was because she once argued with “that person” and complained a lot about how unreasonable and “only say what suits them” “that person” was. Now look~ It strikes me that many people who are friends with “that person” may secretly have a bad impression of me. Usually they may still talk to me, but if I do something that offend them, they won’t hesitate to go to another one who hates me to share their hate together.

If someone who is friends with both choose to believe “that person’s” words... then it’s not a surprise if people who know her but not me view me as someone deplorable. 

~ So well... all what I listed above happened months/years ago but the reason I feel like writing this is because I was scrolling a page on FB and realized the admin was talking to “that person”... I feel scared. I know that they badmouth me and even randomly message people they shouldn’t get close to me/a friend of mine/a friend of mine.

Ahhhh I feel the urge to complain again sorry... I’ve realized again I am the better case. The two friends of mine included in “that person’s” dont-associate-with-these list seriously have helped them a lot, a whole lottt...!! I think the reason why I kinda had a bad impression on “that person” was because they caused too much troubles for my friends - asking too much help and acting like a poor child if not receiving the desired attention... I kinda dunno what happened but what... how could you do that to the two people you have depended on for such a long time??? 

I’m sleepy now so well, thank you anyone who has read this. I’m sorry for having wasted your time.
