The more I think about it, the more I question Arcane S2's politics and themes, which were so foundational to S1. Like, a tiny example [SPOILERS AHEAD]:

Singed wins. He gets exactly what he wants in the end. All his "efforts" are rewarded. What does that say about people who share his ideology of eugenics? He is the source of nearly every horrible thing and conflict that happened (Shimmer, the factory deaths, Jinx, Vander as Warwick, the corruption of Viktor), and he gets a happier ending than any other character. Not even a 'he got what he wanted but he has become completely unrecognizable/monstrous to his daughter' tag at the end. You can say they're setting him up and need to open his daughter to future shows, but the way you end a character's story says something about what you think about that character. What does it say when the eugenicist war criminal gets the happy ending he doesn't deserve?

for the longest time i just assumed that the "transformation of the day" jingle was actually in the sims 4. i didn't realize that it was something they decided to edit in themselves until i got the DLC with the scientist career, and discovered (to my disappointment) that it doesn't actually play that sound when you use the sim ray in the game

now i'm slightly entranced by the fact that they felt the need to not only add the sound effect every single time they use the sim ray, but to consistently do it even after the hiatus. i love their brains like why did they do that

I find it interesting that your Marth mew was noticeably more anthro than your usual mews. Was that intentional? Or was it just a funny quirk of translating the design?

I was looking at Marth's Brawl image, so I might've just done it more one-to-one than I normally would.

Also have no idea how to translate that hair onto a cat without it looking human, lol. (Also gotta keep the boots and gloves~)

Tashi really is tennis.

She’s the personification of tennis in the lives of Art and Patrick. She’s the competive sport that broke them apart and brought them back together years later.

Tennis (Tashi) makes them compete with each other for the first time that really matters at the Junior US Open.

Patrick wins the match, meaning that he wins Tennis (Tashi). Art is visibly jealous because he wants that relationship with Tennis as well.

Patrick has a long distance relationship with Tennis (Tashi) when he goes on tour. He slacks on discipline and doesn’t get a coach which creates distance and tension between him and Tennis (Tashi).

Art is closer to Tennis at Stanford.

He tries to sow seeds of doubt with Tashi which could be symbolic of him training to be better at Tennis than Patrick is.

But Patrick notices it when he comes to visit. He notices that Art is becoming a better player while training at Stanford.

Patrick isn’t upset. He says that’s what’s been missing from Art’s tennis—his desire for it.

Art is enthralled by Tennis and will do what he needs to in order to get Her.

When Patrick all but dismisses the idea of a coach, he effectively loses Tennis/Tashi. (The argument in her dorm)

From that point on, he’s always scrambling to get Tennis back in whatever way he can.

Meanwhile, Art makes a deal with Tennis. He agrees to dedicate his life to her. (He marries Tashi/Tennis.) He essentially falls in love with Tennis.

Art also places Tennis on a pedestal. One that Patrick does not necessarily. Tennis/Tashi is this almost divine concept for Art. He looks to Her for guidance.

Patrick loves Tennis as well, but he doesn’t have the same reverence for Her. (We see this with him saying that he’s Tashi’s peer and his casual references to her as a hot woman.)

When Art runs into Patrick in Atlanta for the first time since their falling out, he’s confronted with the possibility that Patrick might take Tennis from him. (He sees them talking and assumes they hooked up.)

However, this encounter between Patrick and Tennis doesn’t result in Art losing Her, as Art still goes on to marry Tashi/Tennis.

In 2019, we see Art depressed and in a strained relationship with Tennis. He fears he might lose Her if he admits he wants to retire.

Tennis brings Art and Patrick back together again with the challenger. (Tashi is the one to sign Art up for the challenger)

Patrick tries to make a deal with Tennis again, but his chances of success are slim now that he’s waited so long. (That’s why Tashi tells him he’d be better off shooting himself)

During the challenger, Patrick makes the first move by giving the signal. This allows them to finally let go of fighting over Tennis. They bask in their shared love for Tennis, causing Her to cheer when they embrace.

Hi, Ana / @bicayaya, I'm your gifter for the Mayday Heyday OC Exchange!

Since Beatrice's profile mentioned that she played piano as a hobby, I thought it would be cute for her and Yves to play music together, thus how this came together.

Did take one or two liberties with Beatrice's clothes but I think she turned out super adorable!

Thanks for hosting the event @lorei-writes and @olivermorningstar! I had a lot of fun!

Tokyo Ghoul characters and who they main in Smash Bros.

Kaneki: the classic sword boy, Marth

Touka: kicks absolute ass with Kirby

Hide: Pirahna Plant ofc, and he destroys everyone

Nishiki: Sonic has what he wishes he had (speed)

Kimi: you just KNOW she's destroying people with Zero Suit Samus. STEM girlies ✨

Koma: he gives me Falco vibes tbh (and would probably do the "hands off my -kah!" taunt)

Irimi: she really likes Daisy's vibes

Hinami: she's played Toon Link ever since she played Phantom Hourglass

Yomo: R.O.B.

Yoshimura: Mario, the classic old man choice

Tsukiyama: Palutena because he likes how she looks purely from an aesthetic standpoint and is appalled by how the public treats her

Uta: there isn't a doubt in my mind Uta would play Ridley.

Ayato: Dark Pit. He looked through the roster to find the edgiest character he could find and settled on the dark angry fallen angel with red eyes.

Naki: Donkey Kong 100%

Tatara: he locked eyes with Lucario once and never changed it.

Eto: she feels like a Bowser main to me

Arima: Peach vibes

Amon: Wii Fit Trainer. He doesn't even really know how to play, but likes her vibes

Akira: Sheik, and you don't even realize you lost until the results screen

Takizawa: Snake for absolutely no reason in particular. (and yes, he was disappointed when ultimate changed his "no reason")

Houji: Ganondorf, and he pretends his sword is Chi Shi

Juuzou: Ice Climbers.

When Randy finishes school, will he give up the mask- will he lose his power, his memories and leave HoM? I imagine how after the Last lesson he goes home and meets the guys on the way and wonders how they know him °_°''

NGL Anon... the whole Randy's limited run as Ninja is one of the MAJOR points this AU is currently revolved around, and its kinda addressed preeeeeeeeetty much right away.

Like, in any crossovers involving teen heroes, there have been numerous ways people worked around/with/past this hurdle, and the way I decided to go about it is uh-? a little bit different (in my opinion)?? Like this is where a major A in this U comes in, lol (the RC9GN short run kinda works in my favor here, because it gives a lot of room to speculate/wordbuild on already established parts). But its safe to say its not gonna be the way you described.

Tho I sure hope it is going to be as entertaining to see, as it is for me to figure out and show&tell later. ;D

[chemicalarospec]

you've heard of: aroacespec "is this person flirting with me" confusion, now get ready for: Does this person think I'm flirting with them (and also are they flirting "back" with me) because I accidentally bumped into them a lot?
