#poor little meow meow Desmond

[deardesmond]

Dear Desmond,

Hi. I know this is probably awkward, I usually don't send letters like this. Or any letters for that matter, nowadays. But, since I was able to greet all the other new villagers, and you're my new coworker, it only seems fair.

So, welcome to Maple Leaf! I'm Cy, the Resident Representative, pleased to meet your acquaintance. My job is to essentially ensure life on this island is as comfortable as it can be for everyone living here. Meaning I focus on helping out villagers and renovating the island to make it more habitable overall.

I must confess, I'm a newbie to my job. I was given it because I was the only one qualified at the time, and, according to some, I've made good decisions so far. I managed to move in all the citizens you see now, and introduced the store, town hall, and museum to the island. The last two are your reason for being here, as far as I understand, so, I look forward to working together!

It may seem like a lot at first, but, we have a good community behind us and everyone is working together to make this the best experience we can. So if you need anything, or if your housing isn't to your liking, just please let me know. Don't forget to take the time to relax once in a while, this really is a lovely place.

Sincerely, Cy.

Dear coworker,

Don't concern yourself with this supposed "awkwardness". I've never felt more welcome than I did moving here. I appreciate you addressing me directly. I've heard great things about you and, if I'm being honest, I was a little nervous to meet you. This lessens the blow.

I'm Desmond, as you already know. My job will be to oversee the more technical side of things. But, to make a long story short, I'll be dealing with all your paperwork from now on. I admire what you're all doing here, and I'm certain this island's successes are in no small part thanks to you.

I must confess, I'm one as well! That is to say, while I have worked in this line of work in the past, I've never done it on such a large scale. There's no need to list off your accomplishments, I've already read about them, and been told the stories by many of the staff here. You're a local celebrity of sorts, you should be proud.

I don't doubt that, and I look forward to working with everyone. Please, feel free to come to me as well with any help you need. We're coworkers now, we should look out for each other. And don't worry, I certainly will.

Love, Desmond

------------------------------------------------------------

Desmond pulled away his paws from the typewriter, bringing them up to rest his chin. His tail swirled behind him as he considered...all of this. He was sitting at his desk in a wooden though mostly unfurnished room. Boxes lined the walls, yet to be unpacked, let alone touched. He didn't have much, but still. When one traveled so much over the years some items just stuck.

It was so much pressure, to put on one animal. Keeping others happy, his many jobs in service had taught him that wasn't as simple as one thought. Especially when it came to something as personal as someone's hometown, island in this case. Others were quick to turn and become defensive in those cases.

They felt their very homes and livelihoods were under attack. He could only imagine attempting to run a whole society of sorts encouraged that more. It wasn't as if the people here could pack up and leave so easily.

He adjusted his glasses with the wiggle of his nose. Yet, no one so far had given him that impression. When he mentioned the name Cy, there were no eye rolls, no stuck up snouts, nor subtle comments with hidden mesnings. He looked out the window, pastel blue curtains shifting in the wind as its doors lay open. The early morning sunlight was shining through and, outside, as far as the eye could see were trees. He tilted his head and let his ears fall to the side as he inspected the sunspot on the floor with narrowed eyes.

He was a long way from the city.

He carefully took the paper off the typewriter and starting folding it up. He had an envelope prepared just to the side. It had been sitting there for a while now, Cy's address fully written out. He kept it in the opposite corner of where he sat his coffee always, just in case. He could smell the rich, brewed beans from here. A gift from his father as a moving in present. It was the best he'd ever gotten and he took that as a sign.

To think he'd really been all that frightened of someone who clearly just got in over their head... that'd be him soon too.

Well, he though as he let out a huff, blowing past his whiskers, at least it will be something to talk about with him. He finished, ensuring the paper's folds were neat before finishing. We're set out to be good friends already. We have so much in common, after all.

With a sigh and a slight smile, he put the folded paper in the envelope. So it begins.

Spoilers for SxF Ch 75

I have a new favorite character and her name is Melinda Desmond. Ch 75 was a very nice wrap-up to the Red Circus arc, but MD really stole the show at the very end.

I know every Tumblr user has their poor little meow meow and Melinda Desmond is mine. She goes directly to pick up Damien instead of sending the family butler. She loves and fixates on her son so much in the moment that it reminds Anya of Yuri’s relationship with Yor. She hates her husband so much that she will not refer to him by name or by familial title. She seems to genuinely love and hate her youngest son so much that she can’t commit to one or the other even in her own thoughts. Whether it’s because her son still fixates on a man who couldn’t be bothered to show up when he almost died, or she’s reminded of how Damian is the one shackling her to the Desmond household, or if she’s reminded of the man she hates in the boy she adores - my girl is unsettling and I don’t want her around her own kids.

I want to study her like a bug.

alright so spy x family for blorbo ask?

SPY X FAMILY

This will be vague because I only watched like half a season some time ago and I don't know much about the fandom to know who's popular and not.

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): Yor

Enough said.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): Anya Forger

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) : Damian Desmond. I just searched the tag and there was only 1 fanart of him???

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): Bond. Not obscure, but I love dogs.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): No idea

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): Yuri Briar

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): Also Yuri

Thank you for the ask and sorry for the answers :x

What is the biggest change you’ve ever made to them? How have they changed from their original version?

Ollie: I toyed with the idea of her being the aquilae who'd threatened to burn Dorian's grann's house down. While Ollie's definitely no stranger to violence, hating the St-Anges didn't strike me as her style. Also, I kinda want people to like her in the end, and letting her threaten to murder another character as a child didn't seem like a great way to accomplish that. So, the arson job went to Debra instead.

Micaela: Other than using a few bare bones from a former villainous character for her, she's stayed pretty steady. The biggest new addition that popped up was her having a relationship with Theodore. Given they're from similar eras and would've known each other through Desmond, I think it works.

Elfy: She's pretty awesome as is. I think the only minor tweak was that she's on Isaac's case about staying in touch now instead of vice versa. Elfy can definitely disappear on her own agenda sometimes, but she's a lot better about keeping connected to people and having a life outside the Coven than he is.

Ben: He was much more crude and violent to start with. But after some reevaluating, his tendency to brawl and be impulsive became more focused, and he did absorb some valuable lessons along his extended lifespan. He also became a bisexual legend in the deal, so I think it was a win all around.

Tilda: She was also violent and without a moral compass to start with, but she did a 180. New, improved Tilda doesn't want to hurt people, but the lingering legacy of her family, as well as being a magic murder doggo, makes that a challenge. As a bright spot, she is one of the few people who can give Ben actual competition.

Yi: I didn't really plan for her to be a big part of the story, but she's steadily grown to make a space for herself. Learning that she was originally going to join archives was the latest big thing that popped up.

Mergus: Yet another character meant to be more overtly evil. And he still is so very, very terrible. Just in that way many tend to overlook. He's the CEO who dumps tons of trash in another country while promoting an eco-friendly image. The politician who calls for tolerance and seeing both sides while heavily arming police and gutting social programs. The suffering and deaths of millions is the unfortunate but necessary price of keeping him at the top the world running. It breaks his heart but it must be done, you see. It's his burden to carry, along with being pretty hot, tbh. I hope, one day, that he'll not just be an atrocious monster, but someone's poor little meow meow as well.

Poor Damian he was alone on the school photo where his parents were supposed to be and he was so sad about it. Poor little boy I just want to give him all the love he deserves 🥺❤️

[tarn-ati0n]

I think we should just start to treat Clive and Descole the same way everyone else on this site treats Spamton.

Enough of the whole "oh my poor little meow meows" and stuff, Clive is just some Twink in shorts who believed that the best answer to the death of his parents was the death of millions of London citizens, and Desmond thought that developing a new personality, putting on a mask with cape, changing his Name at least three times and building giant robots while having swordfights was the best way to deal with his trauma.

glup shitto: i,,, shouldn't say Clay again, soooo i wanna say La Volpe, or Henry, even though he's not exactly a small part in Syndicate. for an extra obscure bonus, the assassin apprentices in Brotherhood and Revelations. I become easily attatched, it's a curse TAT

poor little meow meow: oh geez, I'd say it's Daniel?? he's not like my problematic fave but he sure deserved better, i wouldn't fix him but i'd treat him right

horse plinko: Jacob. i don't mean to, but the shit writes itself [sobs]

eeby deeby: i'd say the whole Templar order but that's a given, so i give the dubious personal honor to one Bill Miles

[essayofthoughts]

All of them for cr if course- and only one can be Percy so don't try it ;P

You are impossibly mean, because the thing is Percy absolutely counts as multiple for me! Meanie.

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Percy. Obviously. Vex and Cass are close seconds, with Keyleth and Pike tied for third.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Trinket.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Cassandra de Rolo, but also Pike? Like I do think the fandom as a whole tends to disregard these two a lot - Cass because she's an NPC with a lot going on internally that rarely gets expressed because like Percy she's closed off and unlike Percy she's not close enough to most of the main cast to open up about what she's going through and Pike because...

There's a tendency by some people to make her just simply angelic and good. There's a tendency by some people to make her simple and straightforward.

But... Pike is the foster sister of Grog. She believes, firmly and utterly, in her goddess' creed of hope, healing, rebirth and redemption, but she is also feral and wants to wreck shop. She is someone with a huge core of energy - and even, at times, rage - that in no way lessens her compassion or her belief in Sarenrae. She is someone who's anger doesn't stop her from using that to try to help others and I really wish more people were willing to show the full range of Pike, rather than just a narrow band. I get we don't have as much to characterise her off of, given Ashley was so often absent but... I do think Pike is underappreciated.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

DESMOND OTHAM. Everyone fucking forgets Desmond. This is a TRAVESTY and I fully intend to include him in as many fics as I feasibly can, purely as a fuck you to that absolutely awful failure of fandom.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

None? Non-Applicable? I don't think I have any favourite problematics - like I enjoy Ripley but that's a very specific thing and I don't think of her as a "poor little meow meow", I think of her as the kind of person I want to see torn apart (thank you grieving Vox Machina of episode 68). So... I don't think I have a character that fits this?

Like the thing is, I know how many characters fandom can like, so I can't really think of a character I have strong feelings about that's "unpopular" as in obscure or disliked. Controversial and problematic implies disliked, which is making me think villains and the only villain I really have strong feelings about would be Ripley. And she is NOT a poor little meow meow! She's a bitch!

I guess... if we extend the definition of fave to "I do gain enjoyment from trying to understand this character" I suppose... Tiberius?

Because while his player is One Who Goes Unnamed, I do think that Tiberius as a character had potential - his hunt for artefacts, as others have noted, would have been a wonderful tie-in with the hunt for the Vestiges, the conflict that could have come about on going to Draconia for Vorugal and learning that Tiberius was part of a strictly caste-bound society, Tiberius learning to pull his head out of his arse and consider the others... there's a lot of things that could have been interesting, that could have made him widely compelling, that could have brought additional layers to the story! And I do feel kind of bad for the character because he was never given that because his player was a [REDACTED].

So I guess, if you stretch the definition, Tiberius? But he's not really a fave, he's just a character, like Scanlan, that I don't always like but want to give a fair shake to, and distinguishing him from Scanlan, he's much more disliked by fandom. And honestly, given all Tiberius did due to his player, I can't even blame people for disliking him, like I said, I don't always like him!

So *shrug emoji*

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

No, sorry not-sorry Nell, this is also Percy. YOU SHOLD KNOW THIS BY NOW. Pretty much all of my fics are me going "Okay, so how can I fuck up Percy this time?" I mean I absolutely intend to write a healing arc for him too, but seeing how he breaks is genuinely a good part of why I write it; I find it an interesting challenge to figure out and I don't enjoy fucking with other characters the way I enjoy fucking with him.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Ripley, obvs. Like... I need to make this clear, I hate Ripley as much as I think her a fascinating individual, she's a beautifully crafted character and an absolutely awful person. I don't want to torment her, in the end - while I understand why Percy wants to have Ripley under his power (hence why he didn't immediately kill her when given the chance), mostly I want to see her gone.

I mean... when I don't want to put her in a room with Percy and let them be terrible to each other. But by the end of it, Ripley should be in superhell.

Turbo Hell, ideally.
