Yk I think a lotta the bill cipher designs out there are definitely underestimating how WEIRD this guy is like. No bro he would not be a suave, put together, sane looking handsome man/thing. Ohhh no bro he gonna look fucking WEIRD and he definitely acts the part in the show. Like the way he talks, the way he carries himself, as much as heā€™s good in the art of manipulation, he is incredibly off putting about it.
Tbh? This is probably what drew ford in more then anything else. Bill manipulated him yeah- but he was also just so confident in his weirdness- he was ODD and not shy about that idea. He enjoys being odd to humans, he enjoys their discomfort. And ford never had a place to be as odd as he is, as much as he thought gravity falls would provide this refuge- it was ultimately bill. Bill was this big weird off putting refuge from the normal world that ford always craved so dearly.

How can you ship Law and Cora? They're like father and son ??? -šŸ¦
Itā€™s never explicitly stated their relationship is familial and if it were I wouldnā€™t dream of shipping them. Grabbing what I said from an older post here lol but Coraā€™s not exactly a father to Law because Law had a father he loved and cherished and thereā€™s no replacing himā€”so Coraā€™s something else. Somethingā€¦more? Just more. Or different. Their relationship is never really defined which is part of the appeal for me! Some people choose to interpret their relationship as familial, I see it as something else. Again Law already has a dad and yet he didnā€™t spend 13 years of his life trying to avenge his dad or his family in general, it was just Cora. Which speaks of MAJOR devotion that is different from what Law feels towards his family, to me!
Feelings can change and develop over the years so I see Lawā€™s determination to avenge Cora (which is borderline obsessive letā€™s be honest lmao) eventually leading to him realizing he had some sort of feelings for him. And in an AU where Cora is alive and they reunite after everything that went down, thereā€™s an opportunity for them to get to know each other as adults and see how much theyā€™ve changed over the years. Itā€™s really all just personal opinion at this point haha some people may feel differently than I do and thatā€™s okay! You donā€™t have to agree with me. If you see their relationship as father/son thatā€™s fine. I see them as equals who are so devoted to each other that thereā€™s potential for a deeper kind of relationship. Itā€™s in the eye of the beholder so to speak lol
But yeah like I mentioned in my tags if youā€™re uncomfy you can just block/blacklist the tag šŸ‘ I know itā€™s not everyoneā€™s cup of tea which is totally fine and understandable so thatā€™s why I brought it up to begin with :ā€™)

Sorry if this might be a rude question but why donā€™t you just make a seperate account for your nsfw fics?
not rude, it's a valid question! tbh it's a combination of a couple reasons.
i started posting anonymous dead dove batcest fics long before i had the balls to make a tumblr. at first i was content to just leave them unassociated with each other because i didn't really care about them being tied to me. i made this blog to actually show solidarity to my partner who wanted to make a sideblog for Sandman comic stuff so we could cheerlead each other and be brave together, since i've wanted to make a batcest sideblog but i've been nervous about actually having to get it going. (mal ik you're reading this go be brave and actually make your blog so i can cheerlead you damnit-) only did it dawn on me then that i should probably mention the fics i've written on the blog after like, three of them were posted anonymously. and it would've annoyed me to have half of them anonymous and half of them not, because notifications for them would've gone in different places. i could go back and take my fics off anon if i wanted to, but i can't switch the account they're on without taking them down entirely and that'd fuck over people who have them bookmarked already.
which, ties into my second reason, if i made an entire second ao3 account it'd be harder for me to see notifications, reply to stuff, and post things for both accounts because i'd have to constantly switch. and honestly i'd be terrified of accidentally posting on the wrong one on a brain fog day. posting fics is always the most tedious part of writing them for me lol. it's easier for me to stay logged into one account and have all of my stuff in one place for me and just use the anonymous collection when i feel like it. if ao3 pseuds worked like tumblr blogs, where you can't see all my side blogs but i can, i would've used pseuds, but since you can see all pseuds on an ao3, i felt it was a moot point.
and the last reason is i just feel more comfortable being anonymous on ao3 because of the rise in anti culture. on tumblr it's very easy for me to just filter that out and find the people i want to follow and block the people i don't. i don't mind getting hate, on tumblr or on ao3. but i think, for whatever reason you want to blame it on, there's been a massive boom of antis on ao3 who are very entitled about how they read on ao3. i tag extensively, but i just feel safer from getting targeted attacks if everything i write on ao3 isn't attached to one profile. if people like a fic i wrote, want to find more i always link my tumblr in the notes, but if an anti wants to get huffy with me, they can't easily track down my other things. they definitely could if they wanted to, but being anonymous on ao3 just makes me feel more secluded, in a weird way. it's like saying "if you want you can come find me but on here i'm just a weird faceless guy throwing stuff in the void". i've used ao3's anon feature a lot, actually, i used to be a hydra trash party dumpster kid back when that was in it's prime.
i also used to be vaguely popular on a different tumblr blog and my main ao3 and while i think it'd definitely be cool if i got a decent chunk of followers on this blog too, i don't really miss having fanfiction do so well i got targetted hate on all of my fics from the same people, i had my fics stolen, etc. it was really exhausting for me. i have 120+ works on ao3, not counting what's anonymous, and that level of exposure tires me, even when i use my main ao3 to post things that aren't trashy. it's just a weird feeling knowing so many people are subscribed to you on ao3 and what if you post something they won't like because you jumped fandoms again, or you're posting something niche, or you don't think it fills enough fandom tropes to be well-liked. i used to obsessively think like that, and it made me not write the things i wanted to because i cared about numbers. and i don't want to slide back into that hole. writing on anonymous is mostly to remind myself i wrote this for me, and if other people like it, they can come find me, but i don't have to perform like that anymore. if i get a really weird fucked up idea, i can write the really weird fucked up idea. at the end of the day, just makes me more comfortable! but i get it's a super confusing set up from an outsider perspective so, i really don't mind the question, thank you for asking!!
#necrotic festerings#batcest#pro ship#necrotic answerings#tbh asking the question gave me the chance to explain it so ty!#might link this in my about me or my masterlist for ease of access#i don't want to like. overstate how big i was on an old blog bc i was not like. a celebrity by *any* means.#but i had a ship-specific blog and i was certainly a ā€œbig name fanā€ for that specific rarepair#and it like. took over my life when i was a teen#i look back on it fondly now but i really regret that i would obsess so heavily over numbers and what made a fic do well#my favorite fics to write were htp back then bc for htp culture writing on anon was normal since that was during the dreamwidth days#and i just. liked that veil of anonymity and i think i defaulted to that when i decided to finally start posting batcest stuff#(all of this makes me sound so old i'm only 22 i just started fandom really fucking young which i don't recommend)#and when i say one fic got big. i mean it. i have found that fic on instagram and pinterest and tiktok and even. facebook.#do you know what it's like when your fic gets reuploaded to facebook without your permission and you see what boomers think of it.#that was so mortifying.#funnily enough the boomers were actually really nice i was just shocked to find it there scrolling one day.#it was instagram that was super mean to me and traumatized my ass. man ppl dug into me for the tinest things. do not miss that.#anyway the point is#i've tasted vitality and niche fandom status(tm) and i hated both. and i just cannot do that to myself again#ergo#anon on ao3 and a blog to post my thoughts when i have them.#it's a nice system for me#i have some stuff on my main ao3 that toes the line of like. dark dead dove trash.#and i had antis get mad at me bc their fave fluffy fic was written by. gasp. a proshipper.#and yeah that soured me to existence on ao3.#getting into the rise of anti culture is a whole other discussion that'd have me going on for hours but i will shut up now.#wow this got long. i like to fucking talk don't i.

Sorry if I'm just stupid and missed this somewhere, but would Zato be a shoto thanks to his training with Akuma? If not, what is his fighting style?
Not a stupid question at all and Iā€™d be happy to elaborate! Zato does indeed use Ansatsuken like Gouken, Akuma, Ken and Ryu which would give him the same toolkit to be considered a shoto as far as I know! (Having a fireball, dragon punch and tatsu)
Zatoā€™s fighting style is a mix of Ansatsuken and Senjutsu, as some time after being blinded Zato made the trek into the jungles of Brazil to learn the latter style from Oro and when it comes to Ansatsuken he learned that from Goutetsu himself.
Other factoids/follow ups:
Zato can use the Satsui no Hado, unlike Gouken who chose to seal it away or Akuma who embraced it fully into his style, Zato uses it like Goutetsu did. Sparingly and wisely, he doesnā€™t lose himself to the Satsui due to this. Back when Zato was younger before he was blinded it was likely if that didnā€™t happen his arrogance would have made him succumb to the Satsui eventually.
Outside of gameplay mechanics stuff, Zato would more likely lead a fight using Senjutsu rather than Ansatsuken since itā€™s a newer style he is still practicing and learning. In a serious battle he will use the latter without hesitation though
Also outside of game mechanics Zatoā€™s staff (called a Shakujō) also doubles as a weapon, more for fights outside of a respectable duel
Zato is fully blind! I didnā€™t want to detract from this by pulling a Daredevil or something, he has no ā€œmagicalā€ sense to make it so he can ā€œseeā€ his opponent. However he has learned to use his other senses to know his surroundings in a fight, also certain things like the wooden charms on his hat, the rings on his outfit, and even the ribbons of his headband give him a sense of how close an attack is and he acts accordingly. Taking advantage of his other senses in a fight to navigate. Like Akuma he can sense someoneā€™s strength thanks to the Satsui but itā€™s not like some homing beacon for him in a fight.

questions here, ty for the ask right out the gate with asking me about canon you know me so well :3
9. worst part of canon
listen I know it's because I'm in the field and so all the things that annoy me are just background noise to most other people but I really really hate the way hacking and networks and AIs and tech in general is handled in cyberpunk. I don't think it should be perfectly realistic or exactly what we have in real life. I do think it should have some internal consistency when it comes to power leveling and that it should make some sort of sense. cyberpunk worldbuilding is often its weakest feature and that it's a bummer.
and it's not just a matter of tech working basically like magic, but the fact that there seem to be no internal rules so you can never figure out what the consequences of anything might be. why do people not just shut off their bluetooth before getting in a fight with someone who has a netrunner? why does alt not simply archive the engrams instead of imply she's going to eat them in some weird digital cannibalistic fashion? (why not just delete them if she doesn't have the space) are we just adding arbitrary and tragic restrictions on at the ninth hour because it makes it dark and gritty? that's BORING. tell me from the start why I'm fucked because my android soul is incompatible with your apple hardware. maybe johnny's brain which has never dealt with kiroshi's might have vision issues. let's think about those restrictions and why all software sucks instead of doing weak philosophical gotchas at the worst moment because the game has made pains to never discuss anything fundamental about life after death until you have to suddenly make a decision.
you know what would be an interesting idea in this vein? that the AIs made before the fall of the net really did jumpstart all technology and since they've all been banished everything has stagnated because huge world-wide companies having their global communications axed is a huge blow to recover from- not to mention the literal brain drain. What if the reason everything's been getting shittier is because people have been slowly poking holes in software and infrastructure that's no longer maintained? That no one knows how to maintain? That society is doomed to slowly fail because of unsustainable processes and people are going to have to band together to- Oh, what's this? I'm hearing that the actual problem is all the AIs are mad and feral and will drive you mad if you commune with them and take over huge spider robots. Well. That works too.
10. worst part of fanon
I would like to get more fanon honestly. I so rarely see people's actual takes on characters or the game's story or the world. And that's not a dig at OC lore, which I do like. Sometimes my face-blind ass just gets tired of VP where someone is looking into my soul the camera.
Mild annoyance because I also write my own wish fulfillment fic so I'm not saying I'm any better half the time- if it was as easy to be a rebel as just quitting your corpo job with healthcare and a steady salary to become a merc or a hacker or something, then there wouldn't be much to be punk about. You know? The whole point is that life in cyberpunk is a grinding struggle, and you do have to make sacrifices if you want to fight against it. The "we're poor but happy" thing probably isn't going to work out that way.
Actually that's the start of another essay of how interesting Barghest's survival and its recruitment strategy is... and why there are so many powerful gangs in NC. Being independent ain't easy. But I guess that's really just an extension of the game's reality where V can turn into a hero-figure killing machine who no one can beat in terms of skill, isn't it? Probably why the tower ending is the way that it is!
23. ship you've unwillingly come around to
Not really? I can't really think of any instances where I've changed my mind about a ship. Characters yes, ships no. I guess maybe silverv, before I finished the game? Johnny hadn't earned enough Felix points for me to care about him. But I think I came pretty willingly when it was time.

Sure we can question colour palettes and toothpaste flavours, but what flavour shampoo does this man use?!!
OLD SPICE, BABEY !!!!!! at least that's what i always joke he uses, anyway! bearglove or nightpanther perhaps, whatever those smell like.... the scent doesn't really matter, so long as his hair's clean!
with rosemary's inclusion in the complex though, & with his adapting the place as WELL as it's accessories more to her liking, he probably ends up using whatever shampoo she likes in the end. which may or may not make him smell violently of apples(?)
