#my own lore for UD

[0perfectimperfections0]

Hi, hi. I recently joined the ugly dolls fandom. And I wanted to ask you the story of how Louis and Vage cook together in the kitchen? It's just that you have a lot of long stories that are hard to find^^"

Hello! I've been absent for a bit, sorry 😅I've been fleshing out the plot of what might either be added onto Shell-shock or become a part of my sequel.

Wage does more of the cooking than Lou does, honestly (he sucks at cooking, to a certain extent) but the reason he started working for Wage was because it was supposed to be a mix of a punishment but reintegration back into their society.

Obviously Lou has been cleaning the mess of the Uglies and the wayward Pretties since his downfall, Ox felt bad, but didn't have a better option that didn't lead to an outright riot from the Pretties for blatantly giving Lou another chance.

In a joking manner, Moxy is the one to suggest that Wage could always use some help cleaning dishes. He'd still be cleaning and, ergo, "slaving away as punishment" but he wouldn't necessarily be wandering around Imperfection like a hobo and be completely isolated from society.

And no, Wage was not happy with it at all. Really the only reason she agreed to it was because 1) Ox told her to and 2) it meant she could boss Lou around all she wanted. And Wage was certainly not going to pass up an opportunity to make Lou her personal butler.

I can always write a short story on some of the moments Wage and Lou have or like the beginnings of their friendship if you want. Your question kind of sounded like a "hey, can you give me a summary of what happened?" So, I apologize in advance if you were initially hoping for a short story.

Peso

Peso my lil Habibi <3 <3 <3

hes just a top tier character

my Hispanic coded son, mylil guy who's learning how to believe in himself

i just I lovepeso guys he's so pure and supportive and caring and lighthearted and silly and he's really doing his best??

he could probably cure my mentally illness with a bandage I'm sure

imgonna be so real I think he has game tho, like I'm 300% he could pull any maiden

he can become friends with like any sea creature too probably

hes my hero and my son and I think he low-key judges everyone internally

cuz like idk if y'all have met people who refuse to swear out loud verbally and hate confrontation, but the internal dialogue omg

i just know one of these days if he gets pushed too far hes gonna threaten someone with his slappity flippers

like y'all know the look birds do where they just sideye you??

that glance???

i think he does that whenever people do things that are stupid

like he loves them all dearly but shellington why would you touch The THing That Will Hurt you, no shellington you cant eat that for science-

Also I think he and dashi would listen to music together i think they might spend evenings relaxing together. I mean their rooms are right next to eachother so like I'm sure they've had some lovely little evening conversations and stuff 🥰 i can just imagine dashi tryna teach peso yoga and like 😩🙏his penguin body wasn't built for it but he still slays

Hes like the little sibling but in the actually I am the most mature way???

I think its cuz he looks up to alot of the other members (altho he's definitely gotten alot more confident as the show has progressed) but he also like..

He gives me the vibes of the oldest sibling of not just the siblings but of all the cousins??? This might just be me projecting but like why did u even become a medic for such a wide range of medical creatures and sign up to join the newly formed highly experimental water nasa???

I think he probably had alot of high expectations on himself because everyone just always believed he could do anything. And that sounds super supportive in theory but when ur like tryna be the oldest and first one to support ur family and everyone is always looking at u because like.. most other people in ur family are younger or ehatever.. that pressure and extra attention can cause alot of perfectionism and high self standards

That mixed with being The Caretaker in your family especially as a child is a pretty good recipe for getting anxious about any big goal in your life and how others perceive you. I think he tried to like humble himself by saying oh no I'm not really capable of all those amazing things so pls don't have those huge expectations hahaha but then it just turned into not believing in himself as much???

Also we slay genuinely caring and kind people having alot of pent up frustration they never show because they love everyone too much. It still hurts inside tho.

Anyways uhhhhhhhhhhh this totally ain't me projectin or anythin.

also hes like a mixed kid, but he's mostly gentoo penguin id say based on my own design

speaking of penguins I think that their homes would be actually made of stone lol. Their homes would have like different smaller homes for privacy around like communal areas.. they still gotta deal with predstors like albatross or ehstever tho. But their albatross for example might work in groups or even be larger.

Friendly reminder my lore for the octonauts is a bit different than the Canon. Sure People People being like hunted is wayyyy less common than irl but They're basically still playing their evolutionary roles kinda like how we see with sea otters in the show.

I'm gonna make the post for their social norms and etc on this within the next few days actually lol but back to peso

Do u guys ever think peso wouldve jumpscared the crew by being like "oh no the shelf is too tall!" And then busting out the "hey did you know that penguin legs are just folded and much horrifically longer than ud think they are?" On them 😩🙏

"Wh- why would ye show me this??"

" because no one will ever believe you"

Hes very sweet but I think he deserves to be a little bit of a sneaky sht

If uve made it this far thanks for reading the brainrot I hope it was comprehensible pls lmk ur headcanons about him cuz I need more ngl

Again with fur coats

I'm sorry for irregular posting, I've been snowed under with my uni work lately ( Ó⁠╭⁠╮⁠Ò )

Nevertheless I'm always grateful for your support!!!!! ( ⁠＾⁠ω⁠＾)

Under the cut lots of thoughts on current manga arc (I've got no one to talk about it,...)

I like to imagine that in gangsta au they still use flip phones. But it got me thinking about how that universe works,... Are there any transnational corporations? Is history in general the same just with criminal elements?? Like there should be some sort of grand gang bang I and II if the United Districts organization exists (the analogy to the UN, of course). And the Big five is just the security council.

Moreover, in the same strip, the fall of the USSR is brought up as the permanent members of UD discuss whatever they should keep or kick out newly formed Russia (or district 7. It's cute that they call each other after the first number of the nation's phone code. One thing bothers me with this fact. What were the districts called before the invention of telephones? Countries received permanent telephone codes only in the mid-20th century. Or in terms of au the actual number of the district isn't connected with phones and just a number?? Another bit of useless info: Kazakhstan also uses +7; will they be [I doubt that they would make an appearance in au, but let me DREAM!!!] also a part of the whole district 7 like NA bros with district 1???). Buttttt I was talking from the perspective of our history being pulled over on the lore of gangstatalia, cause we don't have those events described in canon, which IS interesting!!!!!

Also, the sputnik was mentioned, which means the whole cold war (or at least the space race period) had happened... Um. Do districts own nuclear weapons? It's just a theory. a MANGA theory!

Considering in that the characters aren't probably immortal anymore (well, I can make that conclusion only from the panel with young Alfred literally saying, "oh so you're the representative of the 86th district? I'm the new representative of the 1!", it means... that there was someone before him ruling the district.............), the timeline of parallel events shortens.

Therefore, the events are closely packed together; there aren't gaps of decades between them, but more likely a couple of years.

How does this world work? Judging from the map, the districts are on a Pangaea-like continent. Or are they districts of some bigger country...?

Is there a ruler over all districts? Who is it then? Flying mint bunny? Tony? GRANPA RO-

Was there always the gangster's paradise in the regions, or was the government more authoritarian before??????? WHY IS CRIME THE NORM? Why did they decide to regulate everything with the help of playing cards?

And lastly. The electric collars. How? How did the idea even cross Alfred's mind? If I'm not mistaken he is, well, not the creater, but the person who suggested wearing them. "Let's fry our brains to crispy nuggets!!!" Haha. Fun.

And others in the big five agreed to it. Like that isn't totally bucknutty. Not at all. Electric chairs would be much better...

Oof my head hurts just thinking of it

Maybe I'm not the first one to ask these kinds of questions, but still. I need answers.

Edit: yo mobile tumblr pls chill why is it all non chronological kwjsjs

Some Skip Button shenanigans with my Jester Narrator! :D

Jester's Parable is cut in 3 acts. Act 1 is the main game, act 2 and 3 are UD Edition.

Maybe some Jester Parable lore if anyone is interested under the cut (Heavy Zending and Skip Button mentions)

Act 2 starts with Narrator finding Stanley in Zending and thinking it's the actual Stanley he was supposed to get. Which in some way is right - his Stanley is his, after all. This act starts with Stanley pretending he is different, starting First Save run. He goes through the whole game, seeing if Narrator has changes.

The main game /act 1 ends with Stanley becoming one with Zen ending (due to Narrator wanting to punish him) , consuming the lights in there and leaving Narrator alone for 8 years. The one year spared between the releases is him coming back and starting to work on the UD Edition due to higher ups - as the actual game developers are called in there - get Curator to kick Narry's ass and start working on the game again.

Stanley in act 1 was tortured a lot - and by that, I do hope I will soon post one of the live writings I did in stanarr server - and during the time he became one with the zending, he also spread overall in the Parable, causing him to get power over it. Narrator is obsessed with the idea that this Stanley is not his and shoved another one he was supposed to have somewhere, making him overall angry at the man.

Realising he hadn't, he ends the game and goes to Second Save run where things change in Skip button, which is a room used as torture for Jester Narrator, marking the start of act 3 - revenge

Sksusus dunno if anyone wants to read this tbh, I never posted much of my own stuff and I'm a bit nervous but if you're reading this little ramble of mine, thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it :D

[wheneverfeasible]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers! Spread the self-love 💞

Oh! Oh gosh. Okay. Let’s do this. In no particular order, we have the following five fics…

1.) A Study in Asexuality - Fandom: BBC Sherlock; Ship: Johnlock. Brief summary: Sherlock is worried John won’t be happy in a sexless relationship with him and seeks to give John what he thinks he wants.

This story was more about an exploration of my own experience with asexuality and was meant to be kind of both an “I see you” to other asexuals as well as acting as a kind of education piece.

2.) Bloody Hands, Broken Hearts: a Mafia AU - Fandom: Stranger Things; Ship: Steddie. Brief summary: No UD AU where Eddie has become a mob boss and Steve was sold into sex trafficking, when their paths meet again for the first time since high school.

This is a current WIP of mine and I’m lowkey obsessed with it ngl. Almost done with the latest chapter. It’s a darker story which is fun to do.

3.) Ruin Me - Fandom: Stranger Things; Ship: Steddie. Brief summary: Omegaverse AU set between S2 and S3 where omega!Steve asks alpha!Eddie to ruin him.

Another recent work of mine and my first time writing intersex omegas. I’ve recently decided to write a companion piece for it and some other short scenes.

4.) Stranger Things: The Pirate King and the Freak - Fandom: Stranger Things; Ship: Steddie. Brief summary: Pirate AU where Al Munson sells off his son to Pirate King Steve to pay off his debt.

This fic was brought on by being thrown back into my pirate obsession, though only one chapter is written so far because other things got in the way. It’s been fun writing a morally grey Steve though lol. Second chapter is being worked on.

5.) Web of Lies - Fandom: BBC Sherlock; Ship: Johniarty, unresolved Johnlock. Brief summary: The Great Game AU where Jim from IT dates John instead of Molly.

This one was a fun one to write but life got in the way and I’ve accidentally ended up putting it on temporary hiatus. I plan on going back to it, I just need to get back into the fandom first to get back into the voices. It was really fun writing though.

Bonus: Vader Vendetta - Fandom: Star Wars; Ship: Gen Luke & Vader. Brief summary: Ella Enchanted/Curse of Obedience AU set right before ESB where Luke was cursed as an infant to obey his father which causes problems for him after he’s captured by Vader.

This is an old old old fic of mine that I accidentally ended up abandoning on FFNet but I have plans to rewrite it (gods the writing is so bad for it I’m embarrassed to look at it but I love the story so much) and post it to AO3. It’s fairly cracky with humor and angst both. Written long before we’ve had all this lovely new Star Wars lore.

[vellichorom]

Hello Discord User Vellichorom AKA Twinkie AKA Velli AKA individual who’s character I love so much who has consumed my literal every day for the last year plus that I have not stopped thinking about (literally, over three hundred and sixty five days have gone buy and every single one of them I’ve had this man in my head, Vellichorom, do you know what you’ve done Vellichorom, you did this to me.) 

NOW I MAY BE UNHINGED ABOUT THIS MAN but how about I take a step back for a moment to just, talk about it? To discuss the absolute mastery I feel has been carefully and lovingly crafted into him? 

I’m really picky about the characters I like. Yeah I am fond of characters, I’ll like them and talk about them and whatever, but NOT ONCE has a character CONSUMED MY LITERAL BRAIN CELLS like Thierry has. Of course he has an amazing base to go off of, he IS THE NARRATOR, and I will admit that I absolutely ADORE TSP and all of the lore that has been crafted into him... but that alone was not enough for me to be purely interested in him for a long period of time (cough: see me not doing much tsp stuff aside from Thierry cough) 

The way that you have woven in every aspect of TSP and its canon into him, and then MADE IT EVEN BETTER AND MENTAL-ILLNESS-INDUCING has got me gripping the edge of my seat like a feral goblin every time you post literally ANYTHING about him ever. You blended TSP/TSPCC/adjacent lore together in a way that makes Thierry his own thing and also the perfect embodiment of the Narrator.

I have hyper fixations that wane and grow over time, things that I have enjoyed for long stints, but NEVER, EVER, Has there been ONE CHARACTER that has captured my attention so wholly. 

Looking at just him as a character, I adore the way you actually embrace and show off his flaws in a way that feels so human and also just like the weird fucking creature that The Narrator obviously is. You paid SO MUCH attention to detail and THAT SHOWS! IT DOES!! The Narrator is EGOTISTICAL, he is AN ASSHOLE, HE IS NOT PERFECT! EVER!I won’t shit on other people for wanting that for their own interpretations, but by god if you aren’t one of the like, two other people I’ve seen PERFECTLY capture that in his actions and behavior. You interpret the scenes in TSP/UD with such a nuanced and in depth eye with Thierry that I actually ENVY YOU FOR IT because I WANT TO DO THAT TOO. The expression of his ego balanced with his simultaneous self-loathing is just a perfect coat of icing on the proverbial cake. You miraculously made this man exactly as loveable and hateable as the straight up copy-pasted canon. I want him to suffer, and I love him so much, and I feel awful for him, and I think he’s an asshole. 

His relationship with Rosemary? Do I even HAVE to say anything? No, I don’t, but IM GOING TO. 

I seriously have never understood how you and Tomie so amazingly captured that Stanley/Narrator relationship through Gore/Guts in such an AWE INSPIRING, BEAUTIFUL, AND HORRIFIC way. Like, I genuinely do not know how to put into words the way that I absolutely ADORE this interpretation of it. The never ending spiral of desperation, need and reliance that the Narrator has on Stanley (and vice versa) is FLAWLESSLY executed and showcased with Rosemary/Thierry. I know I don’t really talk about Gogu as much as I talk about Thierry, but I have said it before and I will say it again, they are AMAZING, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND I CANNOT THINK OF ANY LITERALLY ANY NARRATOR X  RELATIONSHIP THAT PERFECTLY EXEMPLIFIES THE WAY THAT THE NARRATOR WOULD BE WITH SOMEONE, AND THE HORRORS THAT COME WITH IT. EVER. 

And the most amazing part is that you, YOU, a fucking EXCELLENT, BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED ARTIST, have made THE design ever. THE. DESIGN. EVER. No exceptions. OBVIOUSLY the enjoyment of a design of a character of such a nature is mostly up to personal taste, but for one second can we stand back and think about who the fuck we’re talking about? 

We can go based off of a few things:

His VA, Kevan Brighting: Mr. Brighting is a fat, old man. He has JOWLS, he has WRINKLES, he has WEIGHT not only to himself, but his voice. OBVIOUSLY not all VAs match their characters, but when you consider someone’s voice and the voice you assign TO a character, you usually want it to mimic that, and The voice that Mr. Brighting does for the Narrator is literally just that. And old, crotchety, fat british man. 

Specifically based on his Voice: Again, to piggy back off of what I was just saying, a character is meant to match the voice, you can hear the way he slightly slurs/mushes his words together, (which, by the way, if people didn’t know, slight lisps can be caused by more weight/fat being in the face! :D) You can hear him creaking around in his chair!

Based on context clues/general ideas of what the character is doing/does: The Narrator, as described in the game, is old (context clues people, context clues), codes/can create things using code, is not human (‘various human sensibilities’ gives that RIGHT away) and sits in a chair coding/reading shit most of the time. If anyone looks me in the eyes and tells me that a person who does that would not at least be heavy set, I will wack them with a stick. 

ALL OF THAT BEING SAID: this means that YOU MADE HIM! Look at him! Look at that man! It’s FUCKING HIM, ITS THE NARRATOR REAL! HE’S REALLL!!! I don’t give a flying fuck what my bias says, if I think of the Narrator I am going to think of someone that looks either like Kevan Brighting, or Thierry Ellis-Baker. There is no other thing for me. I can kinda smush other designs into it, and see it that way via The Square Hole /ref - but it will ALWAYS AND FOREVER be that. He’s an omnipresent voice that doesn’t show himself, when he’s not, he is NOT WEARING A SUIT. But he is FASHIONABLE, WHO is looking at him, seeing the fact that he wears a fucking fancy, flowing, stylish cardigan WITH A GOLD CHAIN, and saying NO He LOokS lIke A sLOb??? Because you are literally wrong, I would AND HAVE worn things that are LESS FANCY than that in professional settings. He’s wearing a turtleneck sweater, dress pants, and some comfy BUT PRESENTABLE shoes. If someone thinks he looks slobby they’re delusional. Like what do they think? That that old man should be wearing a suit for whatever fucking reason??? In his Office??? In his chair while sitting on his fat ass? (NOT TO SAY THAT HE CAN’T, AND I KNOW THIERRY HAS, AND CAN, AND WOULD IF HE NEEDED TO, BUT WHO ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH, ESPECIALLY WHEN CODING AND SHIT, WANTS TO WEAR A SUIT 24/7)  Also, tacking this on here at the end, you have helped SO much with my comfort with acknowledging my own body weight, accepting it, and liking myself more than literally anyone could ever have, and Thierry is a HUGE part of that for SO many reasons.

I love everything about him, Vellichorom, and it is of my humble opinion that everyone who does not and looks at him like he is anything less than what The Narrator is at his most basic, are dirty little liars who are jealous

TL;DR: Anyone who is disrespectful and disregards the expert care, craft, and love that has gone into Thierry lore and design wise can go and suck the fattest, dirtiest rock they find outside in a river, and report back to me in fourteen business days with their illnesses so I can laugh at them :)

Thank you for coming to my two+ page essay/TED Talk Uh... oh yeah this is an ask box... uh... what's your favorite fun fact about Thierry/Romary? :)

ujm jm, umm um that they love you

[ever-leaf]

which oc do u see as "LITTERLY ME"

doesnt have to be lore wise or anything just whichever one ud say its legit YOU!!

(Its gonna be beau isnt it)

yap warning i ended up talking alot EEK

Beau *is* very near and dear to me, and i have used her to represent myself at times, but i cant say that it would have to be her. as much as i do project myself onto her, we're fairly different personality wise. i dont really see her as myself, i just really really like her lol

the closest oc i'd have to say is literally me would have to be Always on Time- he was literally initially made to be a sona. he's situated in the middle of the ocean and while he was initially against the idea of other iterators being built near him, he kinda regrets having decided that and now does everything in his power to keep in touch with those he does know. he loves talking with others and is unsure of what he would do if he ever lost his friends. hes also very curious about nature, having Ranger lead one of his overseers around so that he can explore the world

another oc i could mention is Doubled Skies. he's an iterator off the string due to his structure being permanently unfinished, and he's just trying to work with what little he has [aka hes constantly winging it all the time]. hes also very silly and loves slugcats

the last oc i could bring up would have to be Seven. he's fairly friendly, but tends to bottle up his issues and avoid talking about them in hopes of not worrying others. he also gets easily anxious whenever he feels like someone is not interested in what hes saying

this more ended up being characters with traits that represent or are similar to my own. i dont really have any one oc that i can point at and go "haha thats me!" other than sonas [of which i dont really have anything about]. Tree Guy was my sona for a little while, but i dont really connect to him in that way anymore. i suppose, as i mentioned earlier, the closest oc i have to being literally me would be Always on Time

[mellowwillowy]

What's your inspo to create your oc? Mainly for the Life characters one

I’ll name mainly the well-known here and my personal favorites 🤍

LIfE Project

The trio

Yulian — Based on the man from my dream when I was 12. At first, his appearance was meant to be faceless just like how I couldn't see his face because it was too bright.

Yulian’s early concept revolved around dream and bouquet of flowers.

Eve — Based on vague image from my brain, memories or whatever. (could be dream or game) Afterward, she was in the concept to be Yulian’s lover. (Originally faceless as well)

Her main image was the woman in a white room or at the shore. Either way, she still has those images until today.

Yulian’s Darling — based on the image my friend projected into me lol. Takes a lot of time to finally perfect them into a character.

—

Kaspar — no idea…? Was originally just a random NPC for the Uphill Daisies case where Yulian fights against Eldridge.

Then I suddenly had the urge to deepen his relationship with Yulian and not just make him one of Yulian’s nameless tools. I figured Yulian might need a new friend too to give some flavor to his life. (I just wanna see a huge man standing side by side with Yulian too lol)

Acquillina (ver. UD) — I feel like seeing a badass woman around Yulian (tbh she is a part of the lore). One of Yulian’s closest allies although Darling rarely sees her when compared to Kaspar.

The scientists — 2 of them are based from my dream just like Yulian and co. One of them is fictional.

—

Blue — I want to see all my type into a character! At first, his character was meant to be some sort of mascot or just the typical lover (genderless) to my personal.

Chloe — based on a character from a game that had me on a chokehold (no it's just some dumb generated character but she’s just… pretty? Even though it's just some ugly generated design?)

Decided to make her related to Blue just this year~

Eleanor — Originally meant to be someone completely unrelated to Blue but around this year, I decided to make him related to Blue.

Also I like seeing him fighting with Yulian over their beloved. Monochrome is the main idea.

—

Seth — only existence is as Streamer! Reader’s lover. Soon his lore deepened but is still one of the less important characters.

A-01 — is on the same package as Yulian’s Darling. (no comment)

CatboX

XL — Based on my own name and the character I made in a game (lol). Soon she is fleshed out and her lore grows with each fandom I'm in (I’d call her a yume except that she isn't).

The other vessels are most likely to be personified ideas.

Caelus — Based on my friend’s OC, I tend to ship XL with their OC but due to not wanting to OOC him, I made this dude. (So sorry)

But his lore and overall personalities are bent to my own taste (?) But the same concept nonetheless which is Hastur (Eldritch Horror)

Erickson — this dude. Except that he’s not as stealthy.

Noel — I want them to be twins and I want both of them to have a miserable life. (Eldritch horror-wise, Nug and Yeb)

—

Feng Jianyu — if you know Hua Cheng or Luo Binghe, he’s just like them. My little yandere ^^

—

Afternote: If LIfE Project is Genshin, then CatboX is HSR. Lol.

[castlebyersafterdark]

To that anon who was talking about misogyny - I sympathize with your feelings but i don’t think it’s misogynistic to be bored of a character that we literally know everything about at this point just because she’s a woman 😅 I could watch Nancy, Joyce, Max, and Robin all day, but I wasn’t crazy about El even before byler was a thought in my mind. Unfortunately I think this is due to bad writing where they’ ve sucked all the mystery out of her character and use her to win the fight every season with her powers. Meanwhile we have poor Jonathan who is just… there. Lucas’ struggles with racism only gets talked about in a book. And it’s been 3 seasons without us knowing literally anything about how the trauma of being in the UD and basically being mind raped has affected Will. This isn’t El’s fault as a character, but you have to admit the creators choosing to spend this much time on her takes away from the other characters.

I think this is a main thing with the "El fatigue" - of course she is a part of the show and should still be a part of the show - but when you compare the screentime she gets compared to some of the other characters with very unique stories as well (in particular, Lucas and Jonathan as mentioned here specifically) there's just not as much variation with her and so much of her when other interesting characters get so much less.

As for anon - I'll ask we be civil and respectful and hear each other out if you do want to continue.

Here's some potential ideas of what I'd envision for El in season 5 - first, explore the connection between El-Will-Upside Down. In some way. I am hazy on the lore and plot. But it should be done. Another - break up her and Mike. Independence arc - which does not necessarily mean she's alone. El alone is the problem. She needs to interact with other characters to grow and continue to be engaging on screen - utilize the cast more. That's a big El problem - so much of her stuff is away from the ensemble and I think the solo stuff gets tiresome to a point (maybe there is a logistical point to this hmmm anyway). But El shines when she's with Max. Mindscape/Void/saving Max storyline. Team-up with Lucas a bunch. Full circle from season 1 where he was distrustful and skeptical of her in the search for Will and he split off on his own. We should see Lucas and El now teamed up to save Max.

Another storyline based on rumor and plot prediction from filming - something is going on with the military and the children of Hawkins. I think El while in hiding from the military, could also be taking risks along with the whole ensemble to save other kids - kids who might be stolen to be experimented on or something. Full circle to take back agency from her own time as a lab experiment.

That's her independence arc - forging a life path. Being that good person, not monster. I think a theme that needs to happen for El to grow is a storyline based on saving people and preserving life rather than being a monster, a weapon, killing, hurting. She's from an environment where violence is the way. See: her attack on Angela. Not justified. El needs to grow and we can't leave her like that, still acting that way. I want to see Vecna defeated some other way than brute force. Especially to combine with Will's story, him taking back power and coming into his own, and he's not some action fighter. Something else should happen to defeat the evil. In some way. They need to defeat him together, and not by sticking their hands out and screaming in unison.

[aquamarixx]

ok so I was rewatching some blue bouquet eps and character lore diving and lowk got sucked into some v interesting ideas that i j NEED to share…ofc if ur able to turn them into writing/stories i would be overjoyed but no pressure!! just thought maybe id try to help strike some inspo while i get my own thoughts out hehe

ok so u can probably tell the twins keep growing on me even more LOL but i find klarks concept of like relationships and expression of emotions rllly interesting…like just trying to imagine the progression of someone somehow forcing their way into his heart/inner circle, starting out an an arms distance but slowly eventually getting to a point where he’s no longer a tsun tsun and acts like he does w louter and the twin stars! im imagining sth like he gets a wake up call (lowk inspired by ur recent fic oopsies) where after battling w his inner feelings he realizes that eternity/never changing is practically not v possible and that he wants to start showing his feelings more to those he holds dear! ive tried thinking abt whether this situation would work better with something like a childhood friend or maybe like under the same sky someone he meets more recently? but i leave this thought in ur v capable hands (totally not j bc i also wanna give u more excuses to write hehe)

ok and while thinking and exploring klarks character ofc i had to consider louters too! i feel like he’s a lil more mature and in touch with his feelings but probably battles with more insecurities in terms of like ability…? which is slightly ironic considering they mention he’s like the strongest magic user BUT maybe bc of the limits w his weak body there’s always this sense of self sacrifice and not being good enough to protect what he loves…but in a more specific dive i think his inability to use technology and machines is rllly cutee but also another source of his insecurities that compiles onto everything? like beyond just getting sick easily and not being able to max out magic without hurting himself when he keeps breaking just simple everyday items like remote controls or laundry machines i wonder if he feels more isolated from “normal” people that way…thinking abt his profile which says “a binary star afraid of loneliness” i think that isolation is even more devastating since he’s so afraid of being alone…..(im not crying) but anyways imagine a reader that consoles him with sth like “the universe had to give u a debuff or else ud be too perfect and op which is why ur bad w machines” type of vibe?? i said it in a very memey way but its a concept i think abt a lot w ppl i hold dear hehe but maybe reader connects to his loneliness in some form (actually i feel like maybe a reader w a similar scenario, maybe idk like an alchemist or even magic user who struggles with drawbacks of their skills?) or reader works to embrace/dispel his insecurities and show him he’s not alone ahhhhh so many thoughts im rambling so much sorryyyy i rlly needed someone to get all these ideas out w tho LOL

anyways i leave these req/thoughts in ur capable hands!! u knocked it out of the park w ur latest fics ive been thinking abt them non stop <3

~Anya

OH ANYA YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS! I LOVE YOUR IDEAS!

the moment i saw that this ask is from you, i just had to read it! and i've wrote a couple of ideas already in my notebook (my easily distracted brain and me who wants to be distracted from work)

I LOVE THIS! THIS IS LITERALLY A GREAT INSPIRATION FOR A NEXT FIC FOR THE TWINS. ITS SO DETAILED, SO NUANCED, I LOVE IT!

im actually considering writing a series for the twins, been thinking about it last night but now, i might just go for it, this is a sign!

bear with me as i brainstorm more about this! a couple of people sent me asks for continuation of under the same sky and shifting stars. but this, this is a short series in waiting omg

you always give me great ideas and inspirations! you'll definitely see new stella twins fics for sure! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

like let me put it all out there

until dawn is a shit excuse for a game and if you’re a fan i don’t like. hate you or anything. but i certainly don’t trust your taste in media.

i’ll start immediately with the racism. the use of native american folklore as a spooky scary plot line is already annoying as fuck, but to do it in the way supermassive does is just irresponsible. for one, just saying the creature’s name out loud MULTIPLE times despite one of the most important things being that even uttering its name invites some Real Bad Shit, yet you’re telling me this old man with a flamethrower that is supposedly native himself and an expert on these creatures would just??? carelessly say it over and over and over again? again, he’s supposed to be an expert and also native. he should KNOW to keep his mouth shut when it comes to just saying the creature’s name. and on top of that, you’re really telling me This Expert Man would die THAT easily by running after he’s just finished telling another character that the creatures can’t see you if you stand still. now let me state ahead of time that i’m white, so i do not have the experience of native people having their folklore yoinked and mishandled like this, and people who are you are free to correct me on anything i get wrong. i just feel like the handling of the creature and its lore and just kind of…. making up things (like the motion based movement) is so shitty and irresponsible. when you’re handling something like this that has significant meaning to people, you need to handle it with the utmost care and respect. there is no respect in until dawn. also worth mentioning is that the existence of the creatures feels like a half-assed secondary plot line; josh’s dumb bullshit couldn’t make a long enough game apparently, so they had to stretch it out by putting in some random Spooky Scary Monster. they’re two completely different stories that are barely connected, and the connection in the first place is flimsy as fuck

also your choices Don’t Matter. the game wants you to believe sooooo bad that choices matter, but the story doesn’t change no matter who lives or dies. the only change you experience is the interviews at the end. the story itself doesn’t change. any character who is able to be killed just stops being important or even relevant to the story at the first instance of them possibly dying because idk these devs couldn’t be bothered to properly branch anything. every scene is the same no matter who’s there. the choices get you the same reactions from the characters no matter what you do.

also. the fact that a completely innocuous choice can change whether matt wastes the flare gun on his own or not???? that’s complete bullshit. just say you hate your players.

until dawn as a game also just makes me sick. the constant jumpscares aren’t scary, they’re just fucking annoying and badly done, and the sickness doesn’t come solely from the gore, but the way it’s handled; every death except one or two is via head trauma. decapitation is all over the place, head squashing, face smashing, eye stabbing, etc etc there is just WAY too much for me to see it as scary deaths. it feels more like the devs have a massive decapitation fetish. it’s just torture porn. if i wanted torture porn i’d go read a mid rated hentai. the obsession w heads also carries over into their other games, but it’s at its most egregious here in UD. the drawn out heads getting ripped off, the lingering camera on the heads dropping to the floor with the expressions changing, its past the point of horror and firmly in the camp of Devs Obviously Jerking It To This Shit.

also if you praise anything about the gameplay i want to study you under a microscope. WHAT fucking gameplay? you just walk around, pick things up very slowly, and press buttons sometimes. yes there are good games that are just walking simulators, but my issue with UD is that it’s being advertised as this great “butterfly effect��� horror adventure where choices matter and that it was exciting and fun. it is None of those things. “butterfly effect” is just a fancy way to say “we made a bunch of choices that didn’t actually matter but we want you to fall for it anyway”. there is nothing exciting about it. you don’t run from things, you don’t chase anything, you just slowly walk and sometimes hit a QTE. a walking sim indie game that tells me it’s a walking sim with a story is always going to rate higher in my books than a “game” whose advertising is a complete and utter lie.

this series of videos hits on a lot of these points and i recommend them wholeheartedly

tl;dr until dawn is a bad game and if you enjoy it you’re not terrible but you’re also ignoring a lot of passive problems and also racism. the racism is pretty bad. and so is the egregious decapitation fetish

Nia teach me how to make character playlist pls

MEE?! ☹️ tagging @mouselungs and @sweet-milky-tea705 because u make chara playlists so i think ud have better advice than me. LOL.

i'm not very efficient to be honest but in general. figure out the vibe u want (fluffy, angsty, what music they'd listen to), pick a few genres + artists and work from there ?! 🥹 see what other artists fans enjoy / if they have any playlists / etc... i listen to a lot of genres so i'm usually alright no matter what . like i start by scrolling through my playlists & liked songs for 20 minutes before i even try to go deep diving LOL....

erm. i will use my oc as an example . i'm still figuring her out to be honest. but. she likes rnb, jazz, indie, shoegaze etc... so artists i immediately think to check would be laufey, sza, bathe alone, the neighbourhood, milena, ENNY etc etc and there's a couple of my own playlists in mind that i know i can steal from

and i like rozie ramati who happens to have a few playlists + a "discovered on" section so i just queue songs that look good to see if i like them for my oc :-) just by scrolling for a bit i already have 30 songs without trying too hard ? ^^ (here's the playlist if u would like to see)

if it's not an oc i check out existing playlists ^^ with their name and maybe popular lines e.g. "we are the protagonists of the world" for bokuaka, "my soul knows otherwise" for satosugu, etc. it can be helpful if ur looking for genres u don't really listen to/need inspo

^ my logic about writing applies to this tbh. if it's an oc u can think of characters that they remind u of and check those playlists

lore... what are their issues. what are their insecurities and trauma what are their key relationships what music do you think they'd listen to etc.. it's good to keep in mind while listening to lyrics like for example if they often feel like a burden/useless i'm going to say leech boy by crywank. i don't know my oc's issues yet so i can't use that to guide me LMAO but y'know

song radios and spotify's daily/genre mixes can kind of suck ass if we're being serious but i do check them because sometimes they Don't suck ass. so.

there's also playlist makers on youtube ^^ straight up just searching like. "krnb playlist" or "satosugu playlist" then letting yourself fall down a rabbit hole

and i know it can be like. u'll see popular trending songs pop up a lot and ur like maannn but they're accurate so u want them anyway. and that's fine. u can work around it too though like... sometimes there's "songs like x" playlists or u check the artist for other songs...yeah.

really quite shocked u asked me i don't think i've ever successfully made a chara playlist. i always forget about them or get too picky and give up LEIFGJBDJHGB but if u would like song recs...hit me up. I Love Music. also let me see afterward if u want like OMGG so exciting...

SIORRY FOR SENDINGIN ANOTHER ASK BUT YOUTE PLAYING UNTIL DAWN??????????????????? IM GONNA LOSE IT (POSITIVE) LETS GOOOOOOOOO SHARE ANY THOUGHTS IF YOUD LIKE..... i know the game is very . eh . in tersm of how in incorporates /certain/ themes and ... lore but. most of the fandom rn are pretty aware of the bad side of UD ykwim? sorry for saying a lot i am just 😭😭S O HAPPY

never apologize ty for the asks!!! xo

yeah i definitely am a little iffy about the indigenous lore...i'm not educated enough to know if it's just like. culturally insensitive or downright like incorrect and offensive, but i was very surprised to see that element and had a small awkward laugh about how it's definitely not politically correct.

with that aside though, i really like the game so far!! the first time i tried to play, the controls made me so mad. i have pretty bad reflexes and motor skills, and the ps5 controller is so sensitive, i felt so out of my element. i know i can probably change some settings but i got the hang of it eventually!!

i am still pretty iffy on all the characters except sam, who i like. i kind of feel like, you guys all willingly played that cruel prank on hannah, so i already hate you. sam seems like the only one who didn't want to do the prank, and feels genuine guilt about it, at least where i am right now, which is why i like her.

i do know quite a few spoilers and have watched other people play through later parts, so i sort of know what to expect, but i'm excited to see how my own choices will influence my game!!!

Tbh S4 created more questions than answering them. They made it seem like the lab tried to create kids like Henry so many people think all kids powers are from him or something experiment based. But we know Kali was taken from the UK and her origin suggests that other kids probably got taken from other places, their races were also very diverse. Kali must have exhibited natural powers when she was a kid. Then how come the other kids are just experiment based? Because it is not like only Kali was natural. And if she is then it kinda creates a loop because we do not know. Heck we do not even know why she is the only one who exhibits illusion powers but not other kids. And she doesnt have telekinesis. And if the kids powers are connected to the UD, then how does Kali even have powers since she was a kid in the UK? Does the UD extend to other places on Earth or just Hawkins? I guess you can say they are not that connected to the UD but just have a supernatural relation by necessity? Because it is not like their powers only exist bc of the UD, they exist bc of experiments. Like idk what is going on but I think they screwed it up with Kali's plot and it screams like"we didnt know what to do with Kali". Because they just didnt think further.

I think people just misinterpret the "recreate me" line. We must remember how Henry was "created". (at least, to our knowledge).

He wasn't born in a lab and experimented all his life. He faced some kind of hardship, awoke to his powers, trained for a month using his own family as testing dummies, and then killed all but one.

To "recreate" Henry, all you have to do is scour the world for children with similar circumstances as him, see if they have potential, capture them, and then train them using the same methods Henry used to train himself.

I made a gifset of it before, but this moment is a great example of what I mean:

Henry trained using animals and whatnot, so of course Brenner would force his test subjects, especially El, to do the same. To his surprise I'm sure, El didn't need to do all that to get stronger. She skipped right to kill the assholes who tried to lock her into the cell.

As for Kali's powers, we can't say for sure if she has telekinesis, but telekinesis and "finding" people obviously wasn't her strong suit. She specialized in illusions. I remember it being explained outside the show that all the kids have similar powers, but some excel in some areas and are weak in others.

We can see this play out when Brenner forces them to fight telekinetically. We never see most of these kids perform any telekinesis, they got pushed away immediately. Telekinesis was probably 002's specialty, so you can imagine his anger when El upstaged him in his own specialty.

We also have a glimpse of 010. He's very good at finding people it seems. He's the only kid we witnessed doing this other than El and Henry.

So it's safe to say, all these kids were quite talented, including Kali, but none of them were a jack of all trades like Henry. Which is why Henry preferred El, because though she was lacking the illusion power, she is also a jack of all trades and even had a power he didn't. (not that he knew that until she blasted him to another dimension)

There is no indication their powers are from the Upside Down. I see people say that a lot, but I just don't see the connection there? Maybe people are pulling from some d&d lore that I'm unaware of where "magic" comes from a specific dimension?

I believe powers just exist in the world of Stranger Things. It's very rare and some people will never even realize they have powers and continue to live an average life. The experiments didn't create these powers, they just pushed them further along, like training for a sport. With these powers, you can access other dimensions parallel to ours, but it doesn't mean powers come from there.

Just my thoughts.

[juvederm]

actually yapping

feel like a lot of my thoughts about not getting enough notes or whatever on a drawings can be dissolved by just accepting that art of the Game (its plot, events, etc) will pop off more than some self indulgent sketch. people will like things they can recognize, which i was aware of but i just thought that my art would reach the fandom people, yk the ones who are not just attached to the story but the characters too. so making recognizable art of the game wouldn't matter bc it would instead be of the characters

but the thing is, making Serious art of the game is tough. it's hard coming up with ideas, and who knows if the process is gonna be fun or extremely grueling. and on top of that, what hasn't been done so far? every idea has been drawn, been brought to life. the game is like 8 years old now. i kinda don't wanna draw more "Mountain. Blood. Snow. Ugly winter outfits" anymore lol. i mean sometimes i do bc i love the game obviously but when i wanna have fun, i'll tend to do other things that kinda combine with my own personal interests. so like fashion for example, i'll take the characters and dress them up. that's me having fun.

i want to think and Know that people understand this concept, but it feels like they don't? maybe they do. i know for a fact my mutuals do, because you are all very supportive of every silly josh doodle i make lol i appreciate it a lot 🤗 you guys are the kind of people i make this art for, the Character Likers. because i myself am someone who will attach to the characters more than like, the story. which isn't to say i just disregard the source material, that's not it at all, but for me regarding UD, imma be honest yall... i do not give a fuck abt the creature lore in the game at all. i don't care abt billy bates and whatnot. it's fine if you do, but me personally ehhh i don't care much abt that part of the story

i really like the characters out of all of this, i like certain dynamics, dialogue, etc. and i love the story too, and especially love when the story involves the characters (which i think the sanitarium segments doesn't really do? it kinda just gives insight on the 1950s mine incident and shjt) but i like the parts of the story relating to the twins. bc those are characters and they kinda haunt the narrative.

speaking of the narrative, it's part of the reason i like josh. he doesn't haunt the narrative but he controls it a lot id say. he's a very captivating character, very compelling. you want a lot out of him, like what's wrong, why is he doing this, why did he say that, blah blah. i honestly love characters that are attractive in this way, even to other characters in the story. so sam and chris for example. i enjoy the dynamic they have with josh because they're worried about him, they're thinking about him, or they want to know if he's okay, what's up with him and all that. he holds their attention like that, and ofc that led to ships and stuff. i feel like ashley's actress said it best when describing josh: "you think he's one way but then he's another"

which is honestly just so fucking true. you think he's dead, then he's not, you think he's okay but then he's not, you think he might live but he doesn't. he's even like that personality wise i'd say, but that's teetering onto like headcanon territory just somewhat. because sam does say "it's hard to tell with him" but that's mostly bc of the incident with the twins, she can't Tell if he's okay or barely hanging on. josh is hard to pin down, he's Complex, as stated in the game

sorry for getting into a little josh analysis there but since he is an important character (in general) to me, i kinda felt the need. because this also goes into my gripes about people not really getting why i draw him the way i do. j know i won't shut up about this, but i just Want everyone to know, bc i feel as though it was part of the reason why i wasn't really interacted with for as long as i've been a part of this fandom. like nobody really understood what i was doing, but it was really just simple fun. i mean, now i've completely given up hope with ever really Connectinf with the fandom, but i just want this off my chest honesrly lol

like i really don't want to keep drawing josh one way. like i said i wanna have fun so that's what i do. i can't really "make an him an oc" because i don't change anything about his story or writing. putting him in a silly outfit doesn't make him eligible for "original characterification" lol. so that's what i mean by i make a lot my art for the fandom people, the ones who like the game for more than its story, people who like making headcanons, people who like writing for the game, etc

and the reason i do it a lot is bc of what i said before. making art of the game is tough, it's a lot of thinking. what Hasn't been done already? not much lol. so i'll just keep sketching the silly stuff and sharing it with cool ppl who kinda get what i'm doing 👍

but i definitely will make art of the game and not just the characters, i'll make art more recognizable to the average player because guess what. that's also what i like. it just takes a long time for me because Serious art has a lot of thinking and planning behind it and is just very time consuming in general. but oh, josh in a skirt? took two minutes and i can just close my ipad and not worry about anything else lol

i hope this made sense??!?&?@ i kinda wanted to talk to people about it so if anyone else feels the same way i'd love to know. i'll prob make a followup sometime soon but i just wanted to get all my thoughts out in one place because i've kinda collected them all finally leleleleel

[starryvoice]

Hello again I am posting again here, this is time I might be posting this in advance as man I rather not do what I did with mass posting stuff in this blog myself.

So I want to talk about D&D again, yes we are going back to X again. This is the second to the last character that I have in that world before my own journeys on being another DM in another servers other than mine and these ones are still on going to this day as I think I am playing around 2-3 characters in two servers now, but the story for each 3 characters that I playing in those two servers are still on hold with comes to character story plots as I am a bit in and out of playing as player and I been mostly in the DM seat at the moment with just writing lore and readying for sessions for another set of new players. Oh you might be asking why I am playing 3 characters in 2 servers. Well I am playing in one server two characters for two different DMs and other one is another west march so yeah.

Rabi March

He is a Purple Gem Dragonborn that is originally a Stars Druid but changed to Ancients Paladin 6/The Fathomless Warlock 11 only. This is the best friend that I was talking about in my last post in D&D. The best friend that lost to another lover of Shino and now just wandering around X to find something about the place where Shino stayed. He has a familiar named Molly who became his daughter cause of my flavor of Molly as she is a Water Sprite based on Rabi's Warlock Goddess of the water theme, Rabi did worship two gods/goddesses for this as I did want Rabi to worship two gods/goddess for his oath and warlock, this point I don't know that Oaths wasn't based on a god. So I should have made him a cleric if I really wanted to do two gods thing, but everyone in that server rolled with it.

So what is Rabi's journey to this "peaceful" X. Well let me say that it is not really become peaceful after the fight of UD with Shino in fact there are things that were something brewing behind the scenes that all the DMs were planning for that season of X. (Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, guys that we ran by seasons in the server, I came in the server when it is was on its 3rd season, so this point was the 4th season of X). Let's just say that there were a lot of lore for the dragons and Rabi was involved with it as Gem Dragons are a rare thing in X and there are a lot of character plot that was rolling around this season since the DMs are either getting on dramas or on break for the most of it. We have called that season the Couple Season since there were only mostly these 4 or 5 characters that getting the spot light man, but there is these couples that was getting the most spot light than the other characters. I guess my character got pushed to the next season honestly since I did got in the DM side and man, I am very sad to hear that Rabi's dragon lore stuff are in that other season and I am playing another character by then.

In which was his step-sister that is a Red Kobold. I will be telling that side of the story in the next post and what happened to that west march in lighter terms cause you have guess on why I did say second to the last character.

So what happened to Rabi after all of that shit, well he did find his dream demon boyfriend (Yes he was gay, but it is because all the characters that I play are Pansexual at best, so technically he is pansexual) But yes I will back on a little on that on why Rabi has a demon for a boyfriend? and oh I forgot he got another daughter! in his fight around another gem dragon for parts for a sword upgrade (Stirring Dragon's Wrath Rapier) this daughter of his was in inside of the gem that was connected to the Rapier, so yeah he has two daughters. So back to the Demon Boyfriend, this is actually my session to finally end Rabi's journey (Yes I DMed this), it was a mess in a half since that session was half-planned in my part and the character mechanically can't go to sleep or dream for that matter. So I tried ways to make them go to Rabi's head to see what's up with him. The Funny thing in this session is that Rabi just really want to stay for the dicking.

YES I KNOW THIS IS MY CHARACTER, but I want some kind of chaos with him, throughout his journey in X, he didn't got to show who he really is, he is only known as this lovable father to two little daughters, but come on can't he have someone to have around when the daughters are away? He never planned to have daughters first before he got someone get some dicking down, this poor man is a virgin that he want to wait to tell his feelings to this best friend he has, but man he was too late. So you know I can't left him with other partner that would love him. Yes it is weird that a demon is your boyfriend, but I made this demon a bit different than your typical demon, so they both are loving couple that want to stay with each other, but when that other plot that I was telling you that the other DM has planned as messed up this demon, so he can't out with Rabi in his head.

Man I know this really weird but that's what happened on that session man, at least everyone is safe and happy for now. With the plans of finding ways for the Demon and Rabi together and live a happy life.

Trust me I didn't did the same mistake as that now. At that time I was pretty beginner with DMing, and I mostly plan things out and really have layouts and storyboarding the plot of the sessions. Again I was really dumb and it was half-baked plot.
