Random observation I made about Sonic Wachowski

He's a side sleeper

This is a completely insignificant and random detail that I only noticed because I love the child so much and I would absolutely adopt him if Tom & Maddie didn't already

random facts edition #1

do they smoke?

The Gang

Nightmare - No. Hates the smell and the resemblance to dust.

Killer - Surprisingly enough, no! He has a hard time forming habits, so every time he happened to slightly pick up smoking he just forgot to buy more

Dust - Yep. The very slight resemblance to monster dust is actually a plus for him

Horror - No. He's not as strict as Cross but he still bans smoking in his kitchen and at the dinnning table

Cross - No and he is on any and every one's ass about it. The first time he saw Dust smoke he pulled out a powerpoint on "The Dangers of Smoking"

MISSING - DATA UNAVAILABLE OR CORRUPTED

Zerox - yes, but only when stressed, and only magic draining cigarattes. has tried to kick the habit multiple times to no avail

2. The Star Sanses

Ink - he often forgets what cigarettes even are

Dream - Yes and he hides it like his life depends on it.(only slight exaggerating)

Blue - Cross x100. It's a miracle he hasn't found Dream out! (he totally has, he's just waiting for Dream to come out and say it himself)

3. Others

Core - No way!

Error - He doesn't have the necessary parts for that

Reaper - Nah

Geno - deceased

Zero's Sans - Used to but quit

Zero's Papyrus - NEVER

Got any Family Facts about Cordelia and her two darlings, Umbriel and Cressida?

While Umbriel is more powerful than his mother he still respects her because of her cunning. Something his grandmother taught him was a needed skill for a leader to both have and surround himself with. 

As a child Umbriel often shadowed Oberon and served as his pupil ward. Since he was so powerful he was groomed to potentially take over Avalon from a young age. Because of this he spent little time with his mother or sister, and got quite a complex from his grandfather.

Though Umbriel didn’t really need it he was taught swordsmanship by the Green Knight, who he saw in action once on Avalon and became obsessed with for a time. 

Cressida has a complicated relationship with her mother. Because Cordelia realized she didn’t have the level of cunning of Titania or the power of Oberon, she didn’t try to push or pressure her like her father did to her. But Cressida for a time mistook it as mistrust or a lack of confidence in her. 

Cressida is friendly with the Gargoyle clan on Avalon and used to play with them often when she was younger. 

Umbriel knows who Cressida’s father is, and has (teasingly) asked her a few times if she wants to know. The answer has always been no since neither one really cares about their fathers or their mothers' other past flames. 

Oberon had been growing closer to Cressida as of late. Despite her stunt to threaten to release Mab, he actually didn’t hold a grudge and has grown a bit more respect for her because of it.   

Cordelia and Asterope never got along, and she was honestly glad when they broke up. Titania was amused by the whole thing. 

Cordelia originally wasn’t fond of Boudica, but the gargoyle beast eventually won her over since she had a good effect on Umbriel. 

Cressida specializes in illusion magic, which she learned from her mother. She remembers the lessons pretty fondly since it was one of the times she remembers her mother actually looking and being happy.

Kaeyappreciation post!

Kaeya is wonderful in a sense that he:

Has a penmanship described as "Beautiful Handwriting". He for sure worked on that.

Willingly spends his time making sure his outfit looks perfect

Is well-loved by Mondstadt and the Dawn Winery staff

Is described to like a prince, both in looks and in actions

Is shown to be gentle and caring to children and elderly, most seen with Klee and the staff from Dawn Winery

Is a great listener and, therefore, also knows what gifts to buy based off of something someone said in passing

Is predominantly kind- unafraid to help out and defend someone in need. His first reaction is always kindness, and worry about covering up that kindness later on

But Kaeya also has his moments where he:

Says things out of pocket with enough alcohol in his system. Things that usually lead to shame and regret.

Would rather give others the credit for his hard work if he could help it

Intentionally makes himself look suspicious by withholding information and only throwing tidbits that are not of substance

Has sadist tendencies, which affects how he treats both his (cavalry) company and his enemies

Can and will use underhanded tactics to gain the upper hand

Rarely ever says what he truly wants to say

Has a fake smile. Usually lies or only deals with half truths.

He is such a complex character. I really do want people to appreciate him and his intricacies more. The fact that his entire personality and story is done so well and continues to actually grow and expand as the story progresses is something that genuinely makes me want to keep watch of him. I have never, in all my fandoms, stuck to a character as long as I did with Kaeya, and honestly? I know I'm not alone with this.

Look at how well they made our boy!

Re-read Spy x Family while waiting for season 2 and had the urge to draw something fluffy. :3

I definitely over-rendered it but I was just having way too much fun messing around with the blending modes. x)

Not sure if you did this but got any Gordon and Helmut fun facts?

Gordon

Many don’t know Gordon used to box when he was younger, and it was thought that he would go professional since he showed an amazing amount of talent in it. He didn’t, but still practices regularly and even does road work and keeps a punching bag in his room. 

Whenever he has to go to events and bring a date, he usually asks Akielah to accompany him. But he always warns her to ‘behave herself’. Sometimes he asks Stacie T if they're going to be among some of their old social circles since she knows them better. 

Gordon plays chess and (like everything else in his life) has never lost. The closest he ever came was when he played against a grandmaster, but he managed to pull off a draw, much to his opponents embarrassment. 

Though most don’t know, Gordon likes to play a certain MMO during his downtime. He’s known in PVP circles as the Black Dragoon, though nobody knows his IRL identity. 

He’s close to his grandmother, and when she’s around it’s one of the few times he actually softens in his demeanor and attitude. Stacie T was shocked when she first saw it since it was the first time he seemed genuinely upbeat around someone. 

On his first day in Citiesville someone attempted to pick on him, mocking him as the ‘rich prep kid’ and trying to goad him into a fight. Gordon didn’t respond to him, but later bought the store he worked at after school and had him fired. He continued to do this for his next three jobs. 

Helmut     

Though Helmut uses it to his advantage, he despises being called a baby face. He tends to put people on his own private revenge list when they do. 

He keeps running into Jodie outside of school, and the two tend to butt heads. He finds her annoying, especially since the rest of the team had somehow dubbed her his ‘friend’ which he vehemently denies. Also despite not liking Dolly Doo, he finds it hilarious that she had the same name as Dolly.  

When he was younger he took karate classes from Kagami when he was younger. His parents (especially his mother) were reluctant, but had to acknowledge that she was the best tutor they could have found for him. Though he isn’t particularly close with her, he still refers to Kagami as sensei, and Gaku (reluctantly) as senpai. 

Helmut’s interest in volleyball has grown quite a bit since he started playing, and he even watches games on TV in his spare time. He’s become a fan of Bruce Brittle, and when he learned he was Beat’s uncle he was annoyed, because despite wanting his autograph he’d never bring himself to ask an enemy team for it. 

The same kid who tried messing with Gordon on their first day later tried to get back at him by messing with Helmut. Unlike his older brother he took a more direct approach in dealing with him, beating him down in the bathroom and threatening him not to speak of it to anyone. In his words, ‘No one would ever believe you’.

Happy Anniversary In Stars and Time!! Have some Friend Quest based drawings :D

(These have specific quote picks related to them! And there's also a long ramble on why I like those specific quotes below if interested)

(And by long, I mean roughly 2k+ words of proper ramble total, so be warned before clicking keep reading!!)

---

Okay, so honestly this is more or less an excuse to ramble out an appreciation post (of sorts) on everyone tbh, since I do not do that often if ever. I'm just using the quote picks to keep me a bit focused on topics a bit more specific than being completely aimless!

[Also specialist of special shoutouts to my friends Squid and Aya for proofreading all this. Ily guys ever so dearly <3333]

Mirabelle

"Avoidance, huh... That feels... a little too cowardly, for me."

The Housemaiden, who would probably fulfill the 'Hero' role if this was a normal RPG, Mirabelle! She has a lot going on that's so interesting to me!! Okay tbf everyone else does too but I really just needed a segue.

She's the chosen one that wasn't really chosen. The reason she was blessed was due to circumstance, and it wasn't even by the Change God either. Because of that, she feels immense pressure/imposter syndrome since she knows the truth of her blessing. Speaking of feelings, she also already felt like she’s failing her own faith for being comfortable with herself, in staying the same forever. For not wanting to Change in that way, when everyone else can, and feeling broken because of it. And, of course, she literally has anxiety and hasn’t had access to her meds throughout the entire quest. That probably also does not help in the slightest!! It's an interesting stewing pot of feeling like a fraud of a 'chosen one' with all that in mind.

And yet, her dedication to her faith and country shines through her actions and words, whether she knows it or not. She’s not someone to avoid her worries. She’ll face them, head-on, even if she doesn't think she'll succeed. I feel like this quote captures it best to me actually! Especially since it's a direct response to Sif saying that they try to avoid their own doubts and worries, in comparison to Mira’s own in her own faith. It almost feels like a subconscious response, and to me that says a lot.

[Side-tangent, but it's also interesting to me that this very dedication works against her, in a sense? Like, notably the bonding proposals. Beyond the societal pressures in play related to the Change belief, she is also the one to take the initiative to ask a dating company for bonding proposals, it didn't just happen around her (as in, no one suggested this to her)? Even when she isn't even interested in dating anyone to begin with! She's not interested in Changing in that way!!! That is to say, her head-on dedication can be to the point of her own detriment at times, to the point of bringing her woe? Not sure if I am wording this properly. Just a thought I had, idk if it has much merit tho. Sorry if that made like no sense!!]

But yeah! She gives it her all in just about everything she does!! She was already known as the most hardworking Housemaiden in the House, always striving to better herself, always taking new classes prior to all this (over 150! and she herself said that she couldn't do anything before coming to the House, which makes it all the more impressive). And when faced with the insurmountable task of saving her home, all of Vauguarde, from being frozen over by the King? She continues on to take on the mantle as the chosen one, the one who will save everyone, and she starts it off completely alone. She's the reason the journey was able to play out, and why everyone is together in the first place. All because she isn't one to avoid her doubts and worries, and willingness to do it scared, yanno? It's just a small part on what I appreciate about her, but I think I'm going to cut myself off here!

Isabeau

"Doesn't that feel like someone you wouldn't feel ashamed of knowing?"

Isabeau!! Literally the whole “Change is destruction” convo that Isa has prior to this quote was up to be picked, but I figured picking the end would be easiest. But now that I think about it, I think all my picks are basically at the end of the FQ's so that point is sort of moot. Oh well! It's just hard to pick a singular quote off of these okay!!

Isabeau from the start of the game is shown to be portraying himself as a himbo. Big guy, dumb guy, the like. But, even from the start, there are signs that he really isn't stupid, like at all! First early gameish example I can think of off the top of my head, that distinctly shows this, is the color theory book. Mainly because he sort of kind of drops the facade for a split second there. Without proper context to his deal, it's just a funny moment. But, reflecting after the fact, it's more of an '...OH!' moment, since he seems to have been kinda upset about not knowing about colors (even if he's hamming it up a little bit, saying he's 'failed them all' for not knowing what colors were.) And that's not even going into his emotional intelligence either.

But, delving into his FQ the full picture is shown. That he wasn't always this big boisterous guy. He used to be the nerdiest kid around, incredibly shy, and because of that he didn't like himself much. But then he Changed and is much happier now, compared to back then! Even after his Change though, he's unhappy with some aspects of himself. He doesn’t like being considered dumb because of his act. And, even after Changing, that kid from before is still there, right? As much as he continues to project this air of cool confidence, he can never truly be rid of that part of his old self, can he? The one always paralyzed by fear.

With that, comes the quote pick! Since, to me, he's not necessarily talking to just Siffrin here, but also to himself. Because it all boils down to his own self-hatred, I think? He himself does mention this in the A5 version of this FQ, albeit kinda heat of the moment, that he "...keeps changing personalities like clothes, because it's easier than learning to like myself." He's still a work in progress in that regard. But even still, he is trying to be better, for the people he cares about.

[Small aside, that too can maybe stem from his own self-loathing? Putting the people he cares about first. I mean, he is the one who told Sif to focus on the others first. And even after that, he was putting focus onto Sif at first during his FQ (as in, talking about how he thought Sif would like seeing the stars, only letting the convo slide into focus unto himself after Sif made an obvious topic change.) The quote also kind of reads as an ask of reassurance, in a sense? That him Changing again would allow himself to be someone that people would like, even if he himself doesn't like himself. Idk where I was going with this tbh, but I think it makes sense to keep its inclusion here!]

Overall, I just think it's interesting to revisit Isa's previous dialogues with the context of the FQ!! Especially when thinking on the underlying reasons as to why the way he's acting the way he is, even while seeing signs from the start that he isn't the airhead he was masquerading as.

Odile

"I'm Ka Buan and Vauguardian, in ways I do and don't realize... And I am also myself."

The Researcher, Odile! I think I’m just gonna jump right into it without a semblance of an intro since I know it’s going to be a lil less focused. Mainly because I know for a fact I will not be able to articulate this ramble that well, so here we go.

As the oldest party member, it makes sense that she's much further along in her own character development / self-discovery journey in comparison to the others (at least in relation to her FQ centered struggle on finding out more about herself in relation to her heritage), and I think her FQ, in itself, helps portray that. Compared to Mira and Isa, who are still in the midst of their own personal journey on how to address their turmoil and putting it to action, Bonnie, who is the youngest of the group and is learning how to tackle their issues to begin with, and Siffrin who is going through All That™; Odile has come to a conclusion about her own woes, where the others have not. 

That’s part of the reason why I went with the quote pick actually! In a sense, it’s a display of self-assuredness in herself that can really only be gained with time and experience. She’s also able to explain her feelings on her heritage eloquently as well, and the convo prior to the quote helps express them too! It’s the recognition that yes, her mixed heritage helped shape who she is as a person in ways she may or may not realize, that it’s not the only factor at play here in regard to her identity. It’s the fact that, at the end of the day, what matters most is that she is herself, yanno?

Even with her self-assuredness towards herself, it’s also interesting to me how that contrasts her closed-offness to the others, especially in outright saying/showing that she cares? Which also probably also stems from her mother, someone who was supposed to love and care for her, leaving without a trace early on in life. It makes sense to me that she would have reluctance in showing that she cares for the others!! What if she ends up hurting others similarly to how her mother hurt her?  Of course, she wouldn’t want to do that to the others, and is distinctly also why she does NOT want to be called a Mom. 

[Tangent that doesn’t relate as much to the quote, but I want to touch upon anyway since it’s FQ related. I also want to point out that the FQ helps inform us why Odile is more willing to question things around her / be more sus? When her mother left, she left nothing behind, and with it, any links to her Vauguardian roots. This left her with a complete loss of that connection, one that was stolen from her and, with that, the feeling like she didn’t belong anywhere as a result. This led her to be curious enough to seek out a resolution to that feeling, lending more into her inquisitiveness on just about anything. How else would she be able to learn more about Vauguarde, without asking questions, after all!]

All in all, for Odile it’s a bit harder for me to elaborate on why I like her? I dunno, I think it’s just hard to sum it all up as eloquently as she probably could LOL.

Bonnie

"So you can protect me, and I can protect you... And we can protect everyone, too!"

Bonnie!! TBH I had a toss-up on what specific quote the drawing would be based around. The other one being “You got hurt because of me and— And I don’t like it!!! I don’t want it to have happened! You should have stood there and let me be hurt!” . Because of the toss up both quotes will be discussed somewhat, since they go hand in hand with the ramble!

[To note, the toss-up was decided by putting it on a poll to my friends, as a simple “choose !” with the options being “joyful” or ���angsty” with ZERO context. I told them after what the poll was for (basically if Bonnie would be crying or not in the drawing) and I got threatened for that one HAHA.]

But, to start, Bonnie has had, not once, but twice, people sacrificing themselves in some way for them (Nille telling them to run and getting frozen, Siffrin losing his eye.) Makes sense, because they're a kid, so of course those who are older need to protect them. Still, they are not happy about this, about people getting hurt because of them, and understandably so! It probably doesn't feel good to have your loved ones putting themselves in harm's way for your sake. But what can they do, right? They're a kid and don't really get a say on the matter. I mean, what else can they do? It makes sense to me that Bonnie is frustrated about that part!! It can be frustrating to have everyone discuss things around you, have everyone do things that you don't want them to, and (unintentionally or not), ignoring your input as a person because you are so young.

Kids are smarter than you think. Even if they may not have a full understanding of what's going on, they can certainly follow along and get the gist. Like, for example, Bonnie always listens in on the burial conversation during the second snack break (first found out either during a FQ run or in Memory of Promise). They even pretend not to hear whatever Siffrin says to make everyone think that they aren't listening in! They also seem to hone in completely to the conversation the second Isabeau says that it doesn't matter what happens to him after he dies, since they stop prepping at that point. Even worse, everyone starts discussing how they won't let Bonnie be killed. Which, if it comes to fruition, would be the third instance of people getting hurt because of them, and would be another thing they get zero say in! And everyone thinks they aren't listening in on it, meaning they were being discussed around. Plus, in Memory of Promise, while they don't have the words to articulate why everyone talking about their deaths is so upsetting to them, this context spells out the picture of them not wanting people to be hurt because of them, time and time again.

So when they get a proper opportunity to have a say on something, their promise with Siffrin on protecting one another, to protect everyone too? It makes the exchange all the sweeter to me! It's the first time, in probably a long time, Bonnie has had proper input on something from someone older than them on an important decision. For once, they get to stand on a more equal footing to an adult, rather than being treated as a kid who doesn't know what's going on. And, it probably means more to Bonnie than Siffrin realizes.

There’s probably a lot more of examples/subtopics I am forgetting to add onto all of these but. Please forgive me, but a good chunk of this was written while I was travelling or in one sitting on my singular day off after travel ASDAFSA. I might genuinely be forgetting something I wanted to talk about, esp since I couldn't double check stuff easily. I've been going off a combination of memory and downloaded friend ISAT streams LMAOOO.

Feel free to correct me on stuff I possibly? Completely misconstrued as well?? Since that is entirely possible in happening! Or further add onto thoughts! In short feel free to extend the discussion on any of this! But yeah, wrangling (some) of my thoughts on why I like them has been fun :D

And to those of you who read all of this to the end, thank you for reading my ramblings!! And if you're skipping to the end, FAIR ENOUGH LMAO!!

Regardless though, I'll end this off with a fun lil fun fact about this post! If I scheduled this properly, it should be going up at 11:11... somewhere! I thought it'd be a fun easter egg to myself. Mainly bc I remember people always used to say "11:11, make a wish!" a lot when I was school whenever the clock struck that time. I just thought it'd be fitting to queue this up for that time is all :]

[secretgaygentdanvers]

you know what's insane is that captain jack harkness, yes as in the freaky little American twunk from doctor who, was named after agatha harkness. like just think on that for a second, two decades before she attained mainstream success and knowledge as a morally grey queer character Russell T Davies was like "lemme make this obscure reference, the queen deserves it"
