#my trauma response might also actually just be correct in this one tbh like maybe I really can't handle all of this actually

[seraphim-soulmate]

me to myself, (about me), "oh man this is all gonna fuck him up so bad when he finally wakes up from the post-op fog and realizes the amount of suffering he's endured is gut-wrenching and will make him puke from crying. anyways time to go do some other random thing to distract myself bcs I obviously am not yet cognitively capable of confronting the carnage that my life became"

*sits down with popcorn to watch the shitshow "me" will have to endure once I come back to myself*

OH FUCK ITS ME IM ME I LIVED THIS AND IM GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT ALL FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

[skunked-up-kicks]

About Allison yeah. I think people acknowledge she’s a bit ableist and classist but they erase the fact she was fine/complicit with Seth’s homophobia and treatment of Nicky (tbh it seems like all the upperclassmen were??) + what that post said. This isn’t hate I love Allison! But I think she’s much more interesting as a character with flaws that make sense with her upbringing and backstory rather than just #girlboss.

okay my response to this is ungodly long so, if you're interested...

1. her ableism

the thing is when people do acknowledge her ableism it's always with how she treats andrew (which makes sense cause it's the most obvious, and they're not wrong) but it kinda results in an issue. the way these fics that acknowledge this usually go is that allison calls andrew 'monster' and maybe talks about how he's 'psychotic' or something. then it goes one of few ways:

1) neil tells her (and usually all the upperclassmen as they get grouped together seeing as they all do this) not to speak about andrew like that, maybe he threatens her or something. the problem with this is that he's just scaring her into being silent, her mindset doesn't actually change.

2) neil gives a speech about how andrew is actually good, and generally how he's 'not as bad as she thinks' or something. now correct me if i'm wrong, but the issue i see with this is that, it's not actually telling her that her mindset about people with mental illnesses and/or trauma is wrong- just that andrew isn't the right person to direct her ableism too, but there are people out there who are 'as bad as she thinks'. it's kinda like the attitude that as long as andrew does enough to redeem himself he can be treated as human and not a 'monster' which is... yeah.

3) basically the same issue as the last one, andrew proves he's actually good because allison and the others see him do something outwardly affectionate. thereby proving he is actually all good now.

sometimes fics have a mix of these but basically the thing is that her ableism is never actually 'fixed' (for lack of a better word). most that happens is that it's no longer directed at andrew, but this is a worldview that she has, it's not just a dislike of andrew- realistically it's not just isolated to him.

to clarify though, i'm genuinely not intending to shame people who write these fics cause they are acknowledging her ableism, which is good. and similar with how people approach aarons homophobia, it's incredibly hard to write someone overcoming a prejudice. i certainly couldn't do it, and realistically maybe it's not somethìng that can be done in a fic. given that often it's a long-term process where you have to check yourself often.

it's especially complicated because she somehow needs to come to the realization that villifying andrew isn't right because despite the wrong that he has done- and he has done wrong, we can't deny that- he is still a person deserving of at least the deceny to not be compared to a monster and dehumanised in that way. she needs to realise that while andrew shouldn't do those things and can be called out for it, that the way he acts is a product of his trauma. BUT he is still responsible for his actions, and while she can rightfully choose to not associate with andrew, she shouldn't discourage others from doing so in the way that she does. it really is complicated and there's a lot of nuance there which makes it a hard topic to deal with cause... how do you write someone learning that?

but yeah, that's my thoughts on that.

2. her classism

i honestly don't see people acknowledge this a lot? i think one of the ways we see it manifest is how she talks about the way neil dresses... and in fics she often insists neil buys better clothes, usually more expensive ones. which is portrayed usually as her being a caring friend, which i get, but i think neil would actually find this really annoying lol.

i think an interesting way to look at her classism would be in her and dans relationship given the extreme differences they grew up. same thing with her relationship with seth, as he grew up poor too.

with seth, she might have sometimes been ashamed of the way he acted and dressed, maybe of the way he spoke too...? i can picture them fighting over that and her being a bitch about it. she would probably speak badly about the place seth grew up in too..

with dan, i feel like dan might get frustrated when allison, for example, doesn't know how much ordinary things cost (a thing a lot of celebs have shown to have no knowledge of). or dan might even get jealous or angry at the way allison can just throw away her moneyvand buy things carelessly (think of her reaction when her car got trashed, she could just get another 'toy'), while she was brought up saving money at any instance she could.

not much to say on this tbh... i think it would be cool to see this explored a bit more though.

3. complicit in homophobia

someone made a post on here about how allison would be the type of girl to preach equality while having a homophobic boyfriend... and yeah.. that's it really lol, hit the nail on the head.

again, a lot of people make her very progressive and woke, and i think this is tied to the very common hc of her being bi. (despite the fact that when betting on neils sexuality she doesn't consider bi an option which makes me think she is canonically straight..). i think it's hard for people to address the fact that she is complicit in homophobia while also headcanonning her as bi, cause it seems like she wouldn't be if she actually was bi. from my knowledge, bi women (and bi ppl in general) not being supportive of gay people and/or not standing up against homophobia isn't really a common issue? (pls correct me if i am wrong though) usually prejudice goes the other way due to the biphobia in the LGBTQ+ community. so it's hard to think about and write about.

when it comes to the other upperclassmen, i seem to remember dan and matt standing up against seth? though i could be remembering that wrong or getting it confused with a fic.

4. #girlboss

i highly agree with you that she really does just get reduced to just a #girlboss a LOT. and i think the same thing happens with the other female characters... i mean, just look at katelyn. there's no evidence that she is some kind of badass but many want to make her one.. but she can be an interesting character without having to fit this ideal #girlboss.

i understand wanting to make female characters cool and badass but in the process it feels like we're losing variety... i personally don't want the exact same personality and way of acting plastered onto every female character.

a strong female character is not defined by how much they can kick a guy in the balls but rather how well they are written, and to be written well they need flaws. and when making female characters #girlbosses we usually lose the flaws :(

like you said, this isn't to hate on allison. i just think sometimes we miss the parts of her character that make her truly interesting.. and i think that's a real shame..

anyway, i think that that's all that i had to say lol. if you read up till this point, thank you! and thank you for the ask anon :)

@melancholygirlfrien said:

I have a Child Development Associate so I am literally professionally certified to tell you that yes, taking children and babies to places so they can learn how to function and see that they're a part of a world bigger than they are, is important to their social, emotional, and language development. It helps everything from motor skills to social skills and cognition Just because you find babies' cries annoying doesn't mean parents are selfish just for wanting to take their children outside. Children shouldn't be raised indoors all day in a fucking bubble because that's how developmental issue happen. If a child is isolated they can develop serious issues.

Note that there are more appropriate places you could be taking them to, for starters. Places where people can avoid the noise more easily and where it might be less disruptive.

Like, you have options beyond “indoors 100% of the time” and the kinds of locations I mentioned in my first reply to you. Like, you can still take them to places like parks, malls, and other locations where it would be less of an issue.

No it's not fucking self centered for a parent to take their baby outside because they're just doing what they gotta do , not everyone can afford child care especially people of lower socioeconomic status. There are many single mothers who have no other option but to take their baby everywhere because that's what their situation calls for. The only fucking person being self-centered and not considering the struggles of other people is you.

Again, notice the kinds of places I mentioned in my post before going off on straw arguments. My complaints about others involve places like restaurants, the movies, and airplanes.

These are not only places where a child crying can ruin other people’s experience and be inescapable, they’re also places where many of the people there are not poor and had other options for what to do about their situation.

Like, I would think differently about someone who brought their baby to a clinic’s waiting room (for example) as opposed to a flight to Miami.

Black and white thinking is not going to help you understand what other people’s issues are.

No I wouldn't tell someone whos scared of my snake to go suck it, even though I would have every right to. Like I said I understand when people have phobias of certain animals. There might be people out there who have a phobia of dogs but does that mean people who take out their dogs are being selfish and don't care about people who have trauma/phobia associated with dogs?? Fuck no, those people are just being responsible dog owners and doing what every dog owner should which is take their dog out for a walk. Just bc some people might be annoyed by their dog doesn't mean they're being self-centered and bad people.

And yet there are places where they probably should not take their dog because it would be either inconsiderate or outright banned, and if they insisted on doing so then they probably are self-centered.

Like, if you want to take your babies out for a walk or something around the house that’s not nearly as bad as what I was actually complaining about.

your life isn't gonna be fucking ruined from hearing a baby cry in public. The most you'll be is annoyed and anxious for a few moments and then it will go away. Suck it up.

Did I ever say anyone’s life was going to be ruined? Why do you make everything some kind of exaggerated strawman?

Here are some exact quotes you already forgot about:

“It’s not the worst thing but it’s still kind of inconsiderate“

“No one said anything about stopping them or suspending their rights in any way, only that noise is annoying (and especially painful to autistic people with sensory issues).“

“Um… what do you think I do? Activate Karen Mode and go bother the parents about it? Nah, I just judge them silently. I am free to complain as much as I want on the internet though.“

So:

1- I am not treating it as a huge, life-ruining thing, just a sort of dick move. Like people who cut in line or something.

2- I do “suck it up” when it happens but am 100% allowed to complain about it online anyway.

Tbh I can't keep talking to you, I think people like you should be ushered into a dark warehouse and humanely put down.

Empathy-havers are so humane they advocate genocide against autistic people apparently, over a post about baby noises being kind of annoying. I’m not even surprised because you all keep doing this every single time without even thinking about how it sounds.

Maybe you should think about how the things that make children annoying (they're egotistical, they have a hard time empathizing with  others because of their self-centered world view) are traits that you have yourself. The difference is that most children develop and grow out of that self-centered world view

If you actually read my post, the primary annoyance I pointed out was that they were Portable Sensory Hell. I made no comment about their ability to feel empathy and actually find low empathy people significantly less annoying than others so that’s clearly not it.

You're a child in my eyes tbh. Your mentality is childish. Say what you will but I would like to remind you again, at one point in your life, you were a baby, and you shit your pants, and someone had to clean up all that shit after. Or else you wouldn't be here.

You know, if you’re going to go around advocating genocide over a post about people not liking baby noises then I am 100% sure my literal child self was morally and intellectually superior to your current self already.

You know what would make me respect you more? If you owned up to the fact that you judging parents when their babies cry is a result of your low empathy and self-centered world view. I would respect you SO much more if you just said "Yo, straight up. I'm just a selfish person. I know babies can't help that they cry and it's not the parents fault but I straight up do not like that shit. I have low empathy as a person and therefore I can't really bring myself to care about babies, children, or the parents and their situation so I just judge parents because I want to. Because their kid is annoying the shit out of me. I don't care about the reasoning tbh I'm just kind of an asshole."

> Implying I care about whether or not you respect me.

Also, this isn’t even correct. At my current point in life I pretty much never have to interact with babies in any way, if I was completely selfish then it would not matter to me now whether or not people bring their crying babies into airplanes and the like. The issue just isn’t a very significant part of my life.

But the thing is that while I am low empathy that does not change the fact that I value other people’s well-being and know that crying babies make their lives worse even if just in a small, temporary way.

The kinds of parents I am complaining about don’t even think about that.

You know you're just incompassionate. So be a self-respecting sociopath and own up to that shit, please, I would respect a stone cold evill mf  SO much better than a little weasel who tries to give excuses as to their own egocentric way of thinking.

I am a narcissist, not a sociopath. Of course, if cluster B disorders are just standard insults to you then you might think all low empathy conditions are the same.

Furthermore, you haven’t shown that you understand anything at all about what low empathy conditions are actually like.

Also I find it really telling that you would prefer unrepentant evil selfishness over someone who merely understands and sides with others who are negative about loud babies. Like, actual morality is not something you seem to be valuing here.

"iF I wErE iN tHaT sItUaTiOn I wOuLd jUsT sTaY hOme!" No you wouldn't you stupid bitch because parents have to go out to buy groceries, and run errands like every other adult.

Again, you seem to be treating all of “outside the house” as an interchangeable space with the exact same norms.

Like, do you realize how it might be different to bring your child out for necessary grocery shopping than to bring them to a restaurant or the movies? Do you really think I would treat those things as exactly the same?

MOST parents, especially working-class, poor, or single parents, DON'T have that option, as I already stated. And you are showing a clear lack of regard for people who are in a tougher situation than you for judging parents when their babies annoy YOU. You are literally not putting yourself in their shoes at all bc you have no idea of even half the shit parents have to do in order to make ends meet and look after their babies.

Oh, I am well aware of how having babies will multiply your suffering, especially if you’re poor. It’s precisely why I’m never having any! 

I understand it’s a huge pain and people with children are always going on and on about how their lives became significantly more miserable as a result of it.

I think you should honestly love that screaming toddler on the plane because in a few decades she might grow up to become the nurse who will take care of you when you're old and ill.

This argument just doesn’t work one way or another. If the baby is going to help me then I will be grateful once that actually happens, not based on a hypothetical so unlikely I might as well live my life not considering it.

[monochromayhem]

Systemwise, we don’t know what to call ourselves...

You know how some people go through trauma and find God? Like the heavens part and they are told “I am here” or something? It was a similar experience with headmates. I’m experiencing weird questions so I guess it’s long post time!

Team Lucantia came when I was around fourteen or fifteen. My house was rife with high expectations for me and failure meant the loss of privileges like hanging out with friends (because social interaction is apparently a privilege and not a basic necessity of human functioning???). I began writing as a means to handle my loneliness. Usually I would do one of two things- bring myself to my characters’ world, or let the characters come to me. I called it “channeling” at the time, since it was something that required a lot of energy and often left me exhausted.

I think all along that exhaustion came from rapidly switching over and over and over again, since my novel series is dialogue-heavy. It’s benefitting my work- people who have read say the characters feel alive, they feel real (funny they say that, really). Even so, I didn’t talk about the off days- the days where I wasn’t writing and they’d continue to remark about things or have a conversation or- God forbid- front.

It isn’t that I hated them fronting, at least not when I was alone or with friends. It’s that certain members liked to act out. When my parents tried to take away the phone, an altercation that actually requires my mother the physically restrain me, Ink decided it would be a good idea to make threats. When my parents were already pissed off at the dinner table, Glasses would wind them up further because watching them get upset was genuinely funny to him. Wings? Wings would cry at every given opportunity, at everything that would possible upset someone of her age (she looks about twelve but she’s like half that age emotionally).

They didn’t really realize that I was at risk at the time, but they understand that now that I’m an adult and out of that house. Wings doesn’t really talk much but I’m sure if she met our current littles she’d have more to say.

That’s not even counting all the accents that I suddenly seemed to bear (thanks Glasses) that would freak mom and dad out. Needless to say it was a messy situation.

But origin wise, I’m not sure if it’s a pure traumagenic system. Maybe it’s because I am a spiritual person but I think there’s something weird and almost multi-dimensional at work here, if that makes sense.

Bear with us here.

Galaxy Squad is entirely Sonic the Hedgehog fictives from multiple sources. They came about this past year due to my trauma with my ex boyfriend, who literally told me I had no right to complain if I couldn’t help around the house (I had executive dysfunction issues).

Their sources seem to deviate from each other, but I’ll try to pinpoint each as best I can.

Blur is game canon, remembers Unleashed and Generations, but does not remember 06 or Forces (I think). Definitely remembers the events from 2001-2005 in general.

Cosmic remembers 2001-2005 as well, but remembers 06 because he’s talked about Mephiles. Though it’s confusing, I’m not sure if he remembers Forces or not- he’s concerned he might have actually done a very VERY bad thing but he doesn’t seem to remember doing it.

Mercury is Archie Canon, specifically Sonic Universe canon. He picked up menial labor waaay too quickly for my comfort and gets touchy at the term “teal-class”. He’s also obsessed with nature since his home is a concrete metropolis. He was one of two who entered via the summoning pool. It’s a baptismal font of white marble that is set in a room adorned with a chair, a basket with towels, and a stained-glass window appearing through the pool.

Phantom came through the pool approximately 15 minutes after first seeing him. Cosmic went to check and, of course, nearly got drowned in the pool for doing literally nothing to provoke him. Needless to say Phantom was touchy.

Somehow, Sunny was just lurking outside the house and found his way in. We made a truce that he can’t do bad stuff while he’s here. Not sure what the details were but needless to say he’s perfectly fine. Quiet and non-intrusive, but fine.

Amp, Ether, and Blue are all an interesting case because they are like Team Lucantia in that they came from something I created. Their doors just appeared in the endless hallway in headspace and just... found themselves here. They were really quiet for a while, but that’s because I have “sleepwalkers”- headmates who appear to be awake but are completely unaware of their surroundings, thus they are fleeting in consciousness.

Usually I imagine it’s accompanied by the first few notes of the Jaws theme when a sleepwalker gets close to the “living room”, which is within audible range of the front. It’s nerve wracking, tbh- they might wake but they might not.

Comet is a fusion of Blur and Cosmic. He’s kinda... full of himself sometimes? I mean, good for him for having high self esteem but like... we have a mirror and he stares at himself sometimes for a long time.

The summoning pool has some interesting notes I’ve made. For starters, it doesn’t appear to operate for just ANY type of teammate here- the only ones who have come through it appear to be people who have vanished or passed away. From the looks of it, it might catch people who die, disappear or are wiped from existence.

Take Mercury, for example, whose entire world was pretty much erased due to something called the “Super Genesis Wave”. He basically became identical to game canon afterwards. His timeline was literally erased!

And then there’s Phantom, who appeared to have ceased existing during the end of Forces, who just... appeared from the pool shouting 『まだ戦える！』 (I can still fight!). He seemed to have had a smooth transition between there and here.

Listen, I’m the one responsible for cataloguing how this place works, and if you ask me, this space has some weird things that don’t line up perfectly. I kinda like the seeming inconsistency- it’s a mystery that’s left unsolved and I can’t wait to decode it. But for now, it appears as though his ability to pull people forward is a gift, and the trauma merely acts as a key, of sorts.

We are still trying to figure this out, but Amp is correct. I am the spiritual type and I’m definitely someone who feels the term “channel” is appropriate in some sense- though I personally use the term “clicking” since it’s often in direct relation to interest that it happens, which makes the connection click and lock into place- but I definitely fear particular judgement because there are definitely leaps of faith that some people may have to make and just can’t.

It’s telling that it works like this for me. Practicing pagan stuff, I came to the conclusion that experiencing negativity makes the magic stronger for me. It’s the same with major faiths who believe in an exchange of suffering for blessings. Somehow, I think the pain I’ve dealt with has given me this capability, and if so it’s my responsibility to use it wisely.

I think the best thing to call my system is “trauma-gateway”.

I don’t think I’ll have new headmates anytime soon (fingers crossed) since I’m looking at the one-year mark of being untied from my ex, but I’m proud that I’ve learned to accept my identity. I realized I wasn’t as binary as I thought, that I was part of a system, that I COULD live “alone” and be happy. While I definitely wish I could have been with a flesh-and-blood partner, I would rather get myself into a place of comfort before I think about such things. Besides, Phantom has to like them, too.

[plussizepanda]

A saga in three parts: or why cishet men are literally the worst. As many of you know, while I am ~partnered~ or whatever you want to call it, we are both open to seeing other people, and when this man came along and started a flirtationship, I was open to it and reciprocated. (Although I should have trusted my first instinct against ever dating someone who approaches me using a lurker account based on a second rate Simpsons character that died in one episode, but I digress.) Honestly, sometimes my naïveté regarding men shines through brighter than Rihanna's Swarovski titties, and this was definitely one of those moments. We were vibing over chat. He knew his shit when it came to music. I never saw a pic before we met, because, hey, I'm asexual, and that generally doesn't really matter to me, if I vibe I vibe. I was having a meeting downtown, and he mentioned he was gonna be in the area. I was half joking when I said "you should take me for dinner" and kind of shocked when he said sure. I met up with him by his landmark car. I won't tell you what it was in case you live here, as I don't really care to fuck with him that badly. I'm only writing this because writing helps me process trauma. He takes me to a smoke lounge, and we blaze which is great cause I hadn't smoked all day and my pain was an 11 on the 10 scale. Maybe that's why I felt so at ease around him - when someone can make your pain go away you appreciate them. Then we go for wings, and I tell him not to make fun of the way I eat. We talk through the whole meal. He's sweet - corrects himself when he accidentally uses gendered language, listens attentively, and doesn't make fun of the way I eat wings. We decide afterwords to go for a walk, and then ice cream, and then a drive. We post up and smoke again, and talk for another couple hours. I'm impressed at this point - not that he's spending on me or that he has a cool car, but because he's genuinely interesting and smart and funny and talkative. The date is something out of a romantic comedy. But yknow, something always has to go wrong in the movies. The next day we're both busy with other things, but continued to text during the day when we could. I was seeing my person, and was excited to share this with him cause I knew he would be happy for me, which he was! He was super excited and even helped me pick an outfit for our next date which was to be the following night. The date day came and we were chatting about the night to come. We were going to a show, and decided to meet at the venue. He again, decided of his own volition to flex, and paid to upgrade me to a seated ticket so we could have a place to sit. The show was amazing, he let my friends sit in the seats with us, and didn't make fun of how emotional and loud I was. Burlesque does that to me. When we left he was charming as I schmoozed with other dancers and introduced myself. He was polite to my friends. He was a gentleman and put his arm around me when I was cold. After the show we went to chill and smoke and talk. I got very philosophical, as I do, and spent a lot of time explaining my trauma. I don't know how he managed to do it, but I swear he used my stories as a guidebook to his own treatment of me. We pulled outside of my apartment and talked for another few minutes, but we both had to work, so I said that I wouldn't keep him too late. That was a laugh because of what happened next. He asked for a kiss. Now a normal person on a good date when they're vibing and feeling shit and happy, would be happy to share a smooch. But I'm not normal, and it takes me time to allow that level of intimacy in my life. Well, he took great offence to this and decided at that moment that he was no longer feeling me. Funny how that works, eh? I tried to explain why I couldn't do it, and that I knew how it was because guys reject me like this all the time (to which his response was "I'm coming to you as an individual not as a representative of men" but I mean.... he did everything the same as like 98% of the men I've ever dated so...). But I was getting flustered and having a panic attack.... I wanted to calm down before I left the car but he kept just pushing the topic and making me more anxious. Finally he said something so incredibly fucked up that it made me snap into full black out panic mode, but managed to leave the car: "then let me see your breasts". Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. I got out exclaiming how fucked up it was. I was shaking. I was shaking so hard it hurt. My heart was racing as I ran upstairs to my apartment. I don't remember chaining my door but I must have. I felt unsafe. I felt violated. I shook and shook and tried to reach my person. He finally texted me back and managed to talk me down enough that I could get to sleep. I did, after all, have to work in the morning. Waking up was painful. Getting ready was painful. I didn't feel comfortable in my skin. My skeleton wanted to leave my body. I opted for a casual outfit and light makeup because I felt like if I dressed nicely, something else bad might happen. I am still feeling like I can't dress the way I want to right now. Like somehow this was my fault for showing my body. On my way to work I had posted something to my Instagram about how boundaries are meant to be respected and that it was not fair that it had happened to me. That I should be expected to concede on my personal boundaries to make someone else happy. That's been my entire life so far, so tbh I'm pretty shocked that I managed to stand my ground on this one. But I did. And then the comments started. Eye roll emojis... references to trauma I had spoken of... references to my partner not being on his level.... he deleted them, of course, because why not gaslighting as well as trauma. I once again explained via text that what he did was incredibly fucked up, and he continued to say that he had treated me fairly - which I would have agreed with until the point he said show me your boobs, but apparently that was just a tactic to get me out of his car. I said I understood that he was out - it fucking sucked because I actually liked him and if he had the patience to maybe wait one more date I would have granted him that ever sought after kiss, but I have the feeling he wouldn't have stopped there. He lorded all the money he had spent on me over me. He had also done that the night before, approximately 30 minutes after we had discussed that I don't appreciate when people do things like that, because if you're going to do good, you do it out of the kindness of your heart. I left the remaining comments up on the post because accountability is important to me. He posted one more comment calling me a clown, and added to his insta story a single image of the clown emoji on a black background. I screencapped that one, but again, I'm not a character assassin so I'll refrain from including it in this. I'm only writing to help manage this trauma. I'm blocked now. I've also blocked him on insta. I have all his texts apparently, but it's best not to obsess over this any more. I've already wasted an entire day feeling bad. It hurts, but I'll get over it. I'm sure in a year I won't even remember his name. And he'll still be bitter like a Springfield lemon.

[disneydreamlights]

Skuuya, that garbage pile of NiNick, Chris/Kat, Foxboi/Ticole Child That Is Somehow Worse Than Ian, UX Protag/Strelitzia (holy shit I had to google how to spell her name, w h y) SoRiKai, Chrobin

So I’ll put canons out here and then throw the rp ships into a read more.

Player/Strelitzia:

who said i love you first? STRELITZIA TOTALLY DID AND NOBODY COULD CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. Because she literally sat on her crush for actual hours and Players maybe just starting to realize theirs and she’s just so tired of not admitting it that she just does.

who laughs when the other trips? Strelitzia laughs at herself when she trips. Does that count?

who pays the bills? Player gets more munny from missions, and never uses it if my munny amount is anything to go by so...

which one makes a bigger deal around the holidays? PLAYER GETS DRESSED UP TEN DIFFERENT WAYS TO SUNDAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND STRETLIZIA CRIES because like she thought SHE was bad but then Player comes out and it’s finally somebody who appreciates the holidays as much as she does.

who’s more clumsy? Strelitzia is the biggest clutz whoops.

who checks their daily horoscope? They both use the horoscopes because by some sheer coincidence on the day Strelitzia died her horoscope was shit and they’re both super paranoid about that happening again.

who sings louder in the car? Strelitzia’s too shy to belt out lyrics but PLayer isn’t.

who leaves the cap off the toothpaste? Player. Because listen who has the memory to remember the toothbrush?

who is more up to date in pop culture? I feel like Strelitzia does a better job of keeping up with it because Player is way too focused on everything else in comparison.

who insists on going to see the newest movies? Strelitzia has to drag PLayer away from lux collecting because she wants to go see a movie so badly.

who cries when the abused animal commercials come on? Strelitzia is in full on tears, I don’t know about anybody else’s player but the moment mine sees them she goes and adopts all the sad cats because all she can think of is sad CHirithy and NOPE.

who’s the lighter sleeper? I’d like to think because being brought back to life gave Strelitzia a lot of trauma thanks to her death, and in turn it gave her a lot of nightmares.

who believes in ghosts? Both considering Strelitzia was probably some equivalent of one and they’re real.

who does the grocery shopping? Okay listen. Both do. Streltizia pushes the cart. Player rides in it.

who updates their facebook status more often? Neither because Player is too busy tweeting selfies being like “CHECK OUT THESE PICTURES OF ME AND MY CUTE GIRLFRIEND” and Streltizia is embarrassed but they keep doing it anyways.

SoRiKai:

who said i love you first? Sora, he’s just too free with them not to be the first to say it. He’s just sitting on the paopu tree looking at Riku and Kairi and is like “You know, I love both of you, right?” And Riku and Kairi just stare as they realize what he means.

who laughs when the other trips? All three of them. Worst case was Riku. He was in stitches over Sora falling one time, not that Kairi was much better then either but still.

who pays the bills? Kairi’s probably the most responsible of the three, not that I see them having many bills piling up.

which one makes a bigger deal around the holidays? Sora makes a big deal the Christmas after KH2 of taking Riku and Kairi to Christmastown JUST to prove that there is a Santa Clause and he keeps this up afterwards and goddammit Sora stop it.

who’s more clumsy? ...I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around any of these kids being clumsy.

who checks their daily horoscope? Kairi does if for no other reason then she likes to see what’s in store for the three of them and how wrong it can actually be.

who sings louder in the car? Sora and Kairi belt out duets and try to get Riku to join but the pain in the ass won’t. Admit your inner nerd Riku.

who leaves the cap off the toothpaste? Sora does this all the time despite Riku and Kairi asking him to stop and he won’t stop SORA STOP.

who is more up to date in pop culture? Kairi probably has the easiest time staying up to date simply because she wasn’t asleep for a year or fighting her inner darkness for a year.

who insists on going to see the newest movies? I’m gonna say Sora just because he’s the one who’s most excited for it.

who cries when the abused animal commercials come on? Sora is crying over seeing all their sad faces and wants to find homes for all of them Riku and Kairi have to hold him to the couch so he doesn’t leave to adopt all those crying dogs goddammit Sora.

who’s the lighter sleeper? I’d imagine Riku has a lot of frequent nightmares after falling into darkness out of fear of hurting the other two.

who believes in ghosts? I mean...they’ve already seen ghosts.

who does the grocery shopping? ...Nobody trust these kids with grocery shopping I’m pretty sure Riku is the only one responsible enough to do it the correct way.

who updates their facebook status more often? When he has time, Sora does. Kairi’s very active on snapchat though with her boyfriends. Riku doesn’t do a lot though.

Chrobin:

who said i love you first? ...I’m pretty sure this is canon confirmed Chrom because Robin isn’t stupid enough to confess in the middle of a war.

who laughs when the other trips? Robin because Chrom isn’t that clumsy so when he does it it’s just him being really stupid.

who pays the bills? ...Princes have to pay bills?

which one makes a bigger deal around the holidays? Did you see Chrom’s get ups during all of the events during Fire Emblem Heroes, Chrom is ten thousand percent extra when it comes to the holidays.

who’s more clumsy? Neither of them are particularly clumsy but I mean Chrom did break a hole in the wall so what’s being skilled.

who checks their daily horoscope? Chrom does and Robin keeps telling him to stop but “No Robin you don’t understand I have to keep checking this what if something goes wrong???”

who sings louder in the car? CHROM YOU FUCKING NERD STOP SINGING BUT ALSO WHY IS YOUR SINGING VOICE GOOD DAMMIT. (Listen Chrom has a good voice.)

who leaves the cap off the toothpaste?: Sometimes Robin if she’s been strategizing late at night but for the most part it’s Chrom who’s stupid enough to make that mistake.

who is more up to date in pop culture? Robin keeps more up to date because after being amnesiac she does whatever she can to keep up with it because she doesn’t want to forget anything else.

who insists on going to see the newest movies? Chrom does it to make new memories for Robin but tbh I think she has some hand in it at least.

who cries when the abused animal commercials come on? ...Why are the answers to all of these Chrom because don’t tell me he wouldn’t.

who’s the lighter sleeper? Robin is an incredibly light sleeper and this only becomes worse after she’s possessed by Grima because she’s so scared he might come back and force her to kill Chrom again.

who believes in ghosts?: I feel like after seeing zombies neither would be afraid to take the step further and believe in ghosts.

who does the grocery shopping? ...I don’t trust either of them with cooking, let alone shopping.

who updates their facebook status more often? Robin tells him to stop but Chrom won’t stop posting updates on facebook even in the middle of a war. Chrom why you’re gonna get them all killed?

Skyuuya:

who said i love you first? Sky did, Yuuya didn’t think he was good enough for her though he did say it a few times, but Sky was the one who didn’t care if he was, so she was willing to say it. Especially since she probably only did it to get him off her case.

who laughs when the other trips? Sky does it to Yuuya. Yuuya refuses to do it to Sky. Something about that kinda bothers Sky.

who pays the bills? I think despair world doesn’t need a lot of bills paid but Sky tries to keep up on any that do, mostly because they’re hers from Daybreak Town.

which one makes a bigger deal around the holidays? I feel like this’d be Sky. Yuuya likes the holidays but he’s never really had the chance to make a big deal out of it where as the holidays are always a big deal for Sky.

who’s more clumsy? Neither of them are clumsy at all.

who checks their daily horoscope? I don’t think either of them do.

who sings louder in the car? Sky belts out the lyrics to quite a few songs. I see her and Yuuya doing a good duet too.

who leaves the cap off the toothpaste? Yuuya is one hundred percent the one who does this, don’t ask me why I see this I just do.

who is more up to date in pop culture? Sky has an easier time doing it at least, given the fact that she can leave despair world.

who insists on going to see the newest movies? What time are they going to have for movies? In a more normal universe I could see Sky forcing Yuuya to take breaks to see them or vice versa but what movies can they even see?

who cries when the abused animal commercials come on? I don’t see either of them doing so? Both have been through so many hardships that it’s just so minor in comparison to everything they’ve gone through.

who’s the lighter sleeper? Yuuya barely sleeps.

who believes in ghosts? I mean Sky kinda knows they exist but I’d imagine in universes where Yuuya dies she one hundred percent does.

who does the grocery shopping? Both?

who updates their facebook status more often? I’m pretty sure Sky does it but even then it’s pretty infrequent.

NiNick:

who said i love you first? I think it was Nina and I’m too lazy to look back so we’re going to go with Nina.

who laughs when the other trips? Nick does. Nina barely has the energy to get out of bed most days so she’s stumbling and tripping way too much.

who pays the bills? Somehow Nina’s responsible enough to remember this but not really I’m still pretty sure Nick’s doing it a few times when she forgets.

which one makes a bigger deal around the holidays? Nina makes the biggest deal out of the holidays. I’m not sure if Nick would understand the hype around them but he goes along with it.

who’s more clumsy? Nina, again.

who checks their daily horoscope? Nina believes in this shit goddammit Nina stop. Nina why?

who sings louder in the car? I think Nina would be the louder one but honestly if Nick sings in the car I could see it.

who leaves the cap off the toothpaste? Nina is too sleepy in the mornings to remember to put the cap back on the toothpaste. This is more than an occasional thing it happens all the time.

who is more up to date in pop culture? I think Nina just because Nick spent over half his life kidnapped.

who insists on going to see the newest movies? Nick for that exact reason he wants to do everything he can to ensure he never misses out on anything like that again.

who cries when the abused animal commercials come on? Nina hears the song and starts sobbing already.

who’s the lighter sleeper? Nick, he probably doesn’t sleep very well at night and Nina is literally out cold the moment her head hits a pillow.

who believes in ghosts? Nick, because he had a few conversations with ghosts.

who does the grocery shopping? ...Tip probably does it for them he doesn’t trust them.

who updates their facebook status more often? Nina’s on facebook like twenty-four seven I think it’s her.

Chris/Kat:

who said i love you first? I’m pretty sure Chris was the one that did it. Pretty sure at least.

who laughs when the other trips? Neither??? They’re both too sweet for that.

who pays the bills? Kat’s kinda loaded so I’d imagine she’s the one who does it a lot more often.

which one makes a bigger deal around the holidays? Chris doesn’t really get it but Kat makes a huge deal out of them. Like the biggest deal you could imagine.

who’s more clumsy? Probably Kat, not that she’s super clumsy.

who checks their daily horoscope? Chris and Kat check together just out of curiosity for what they say. Some people do that.

who sings louder in the car? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...*glances at lady music* I wonder who sings louder. Definitely not Kat or anything. Nope.

who leaves the cap off the toothpaste? ...Chris does it, he has to do it.

who is more up to date in pop culture? I’d assume Kat just because she’s more present in the world.

who insists on going to see the newest movies? Depends on the movie. Kat’s really only into musicals and Chris I could see having an appreciation for the art in animated movies but not musicals in general.

who cries when the abused animal commercials come on? ...Chris has to be the one to do this.

who’s the lighter sleeper? Kat just doesn’t sleep very well. Probably due to her anxiety.

who believes in ghosts? I MEAN ARE WE DONE WITH THIS QUESTION IN THE SPIRAL YET?

who does the grocery shopping? Kat does I mean she kinda learned a bit of cooking from her grandpa so...

who updates their facebook status more often? Kat definitely is the one who updates it more often.

Aiden/Alexandra

who said i love you first? Alexandra’s definitely going to confess first let’s honestly face that she’s the one who would do it with no issues.

who laughs when the other trips? Aiden laughs at her one hundred percent, no questions asked.

who pays the bills? Aiden’s the responsible one here so it’d have to be him that pays the bills.

which one makes a bigger deal around the holidays? I’d say Alexandra just given her family and their holiday enthusiasm...

who’s more clumsy? Alexandra.

who checks their daily horoscope? AIDEN TRIES TO STOP HER DAMMIT ALEXANDRA.

who sings louder in the car? Alexandra does even if she can’t sing idk if she can but she does this.

who leaves the cap off the toothpaste? ALEXANDRA FUCKING STOP.

who is more up to date in pop culture? ...Probably Aiden but not because he chooses to but because Alexandra spent her early life on an island with no social contact besides her parents and the dead.

who insists on going to see the newest movies? Neither tbh?

who cries when the abused animal commercials come on? ...Please tell me Alexandra does this because I could see it.

who’s the lighter sleeper? Aiden sleeps lighter, Alexandra probably sleeps like a rock.

who believes in ghosts? Alexandra, Aiden is a Spiral character who doesn’t actually believe in them tbh.

who does the grocery shopping? AIDEN IS THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE ONE HERE.

who updates their facebook status more often? Probably Alexandra. I feel like she’d actually use facebook. Aiden wouldn’t.
