In Stars And Time? More like In Ace And Gender
+ some alts
#in stars and time#isat#siffrin#josh art tag#happy pride yall!#getting to play as a nonbinary protag who is also ace was just so so cool#im hoping to draw the main 6 with their flags for pride#cuz this game and its lgbt-ness makes me so happy and its awesome that its canon!#i also really love the varied relevancy of the lgbt themes#cuz its certainly not the plot of the story#but some characters lgbt-ness is quite important to their backstory or their current struggles!#while for others its just kinda there!!#and i think thats great#its a good reflection of real life and how different people have different experiences being lgbt and how it affects their lives differently#and works well with the story#it doesnt get in the way at all while still being important to the characters#and it even fits into the worldbuilding so well????#truly if there were no mentions of the Gender Themes i think the worldbuilding wouldnt have been quite as good#mirabelle specifically really gets to me...#prolly cuz im. yknow. aroace too#but seeing how she felt she was betraying her religion? how she fept she needed to change to fit other peoples expectations?#and how earlier in the game she does actually say breaking traditions is also a part of the change belief#but she doesnt realize that can extend to her#it all hits really hard for me

Guess who's playing Steamworld Heist 2 and isn't being normal about it
#dw this isn't spoiler#tho i wish quincy having two moms was real#clearly we're overlooking a clear answer here people#krakenbane and piper faraday can both be Quincy's moms. they're secretly dating this entire time.#he just doesn't know#listen the idea of Piper x Krakenbane wouldn't leave my mind#like just think about it and it gets better the longer you think about it#they were dating before canon started? they got together when Krakenbane went to the Core system and met Piper. they hit it off great#they were dating when canon was happening? Piper went out to Quincy without realizing he was Krakenbane's son. it was far too late when she#realized and knew it was too awkward to bring it up after they're working together so she just doesn't and hope Krakenbane will tell him#they're dating after canon? Piper and Krakenbane get to be cute together out in space while Quincy has no clue his hero is dating his mom#it's funny. its great. there's so much potential#i might make a different post altogether about those two#anyway#piper faraday#krakenbane#piper x krakenbane#NEW SHIP JUST DROPPED#i need to come up with a ship name for them#steamworld heist 2#steamworld heist#quincy leeway#spoilers#kinda?? its real vague but its there ig#the fire burns#the fire crackles with joy

I just. Love how delighted Toriel is that Kris has a friend, and doesn't really care who said friend is. In Chapter 1, the second Kris says that they're hanging out with a friend, Toriel's tune changes immediately and she says Kris can continue hanging out with said friend as long as they please. In Chapter 2, when she meets Susie, she doesn't get judgmental in any way, and all their interactions are just really cute. Baking together, punning together, letting her stay over...
Like, with how Toriel is characterized in Deltarune compared to Undertale, I feel like a lot of people make her...meaner, I guess. They take how she acts around Asgore, and use that to inform how she'd act in other situations. But she doesn't think Susie is a bad influence on Kris at all, she's really happy to welcome Susie into the house and meet her! It's adorable! So I don't think she's quite as strict and judgmental as some assume, or if she is, her desire for Kris to be happy overrides her 'knows what's best for you' tendencies. She's clearly not fully aware of Kris' situation, but is aware enough to be concerned, and to let some things (like waking them up, letting them wander Hometown after school, or devouring an entire pie) slide if it means they're safe and happy.
...On the flip side. It's also kinda sad. Kris isn't really hated by anyone in Hometown, but between being the only human, the situation their parents are in, Asriel(who they're closest with) moving away, the emptiness of their room and how they sometimes lock themself in the bathroom for lengths of time, the way Berdly, MK, and Snowdrake talk about them at various points...it's not so hard to understand why Toriel's so happy and relieved that there's someone outside herself and Asriel Kris has a positive relationship with. They used to be friends with Noelle, and they seem on pretty good terms with Catti, but I don't think they're quite friends right now. So it's also somewhat sad. Susie is probably Kris' first friend in a very long time. But maybe Noelle and Berdly can also become genuine friends, too.
#deltarune#deltarune analysis#toriel#kris dreemurr#the issue with asgore seems to mostly be that he won't respect her boundaries#rather than actually trying to atone for whatever mistake her made or give her space#he rushes into 'trying to make her feel the way she used to' back when they were first married#i've discussed it before but it bears repeating i think#because it's an interesting piece of dr!asgore's character#and an interesting difference between him and ut asgore#ut asgore was so beaten-down and depressed that even when he daydreams about adopting frisk with toriel#he immediately realizes he can't ever really return to those times with asriel and chara. they're dead now#dr!asgore thinks there's still hope to get those times back. he hasn't hit rock bottom...but he's also kinda in denial#he is in a better place than ut!asgore but dealing with it much worse by refusing to move on

tough pill i have to swallow is realizing that “getting better” doesn’t mean “getting to do more things,” getting better for me means taking better initiative in protecting myself. and THAT means making sure i do LESS things
#sounds kinda obvious but i only just realized it lmao#feels like i have to grieve a lot of my goals now but no one said the healing process would be easy#danbles#and for anyone else that has a disability that prevents them from doing smth#or trauma that makes certain triggers limit their opportunities#or neurotypes that make it harder for them to love smth like they used to#or whatever else#i don’t want to make it sound like you have to give up on the things that make you happy#I’M certainly not going to#but a huge value of mine has always been experiencing everything life had to offer#and everytime that backfires (whether it’s burnout; triggering a flashback; triggering an episode; putting strain on my body; etc)#i always just thought to myself ‘it was bad timing’ or ‘i haven’t gotten better yet’ bc the endgoal was to always get to that point where#i could experience it. i want to try new things all the time. i want to feel normal and be included in everything#but if smth keeps Making Me Feel Bad then maybe there isn’t a version of myself that can take it on#it’s not resilience to put yourself in harm’s way#idk how well i’ll be able to put this into practice tbh. i rly rly like exploring different experiences#even negative ones are valuable to me#but the least i can do for myself is recognize that i might not always be the problem#maybe i’ve already hit the limit on all the self-work i can do. maybe it’s the environment or situation itself that’s the problem#fuuck guys i feel like i’m going thru a stage of grief here why is this shit so hard 💀

#I was talking to some buddies about lies of p and sekiro and how LoP’s defense as offense mentality helped get into sekiro#but then how sekiro overwrote that mentality with its own “offense is the best defense” mentality#or “hesitate and you lose” as Grandpappy isshin would say#and how the switch for the change for me was genichiro who I think is one of the best designed bosses in gaming#you CAN’T play too defensively with him because he’s happy to pepper you with arrows from a distance#and then the moment comes when you realize your sword interrupts his bow attacks sekiro truly begins as a game#lady butterfly is also a good fight but all her moves bring her to you so there’s less incentive to be as aggressive#vs genny baby who will back off and fire off his bow if you let him#this isn’t even like a video of me playing perfectly but I LOVE getting my feudal edgelord corner stunned and just bursting him down#I kinda hate the owl shinobi fight bc he hits too hard and his attacks just aren’t interesting to react to#but it’s also possible to corner stun him and just go to town on his health bar#owl father and inner father are much better fights and I actually really enjoyed inner father a lot#but the Ashina family fights are absolutely stunning achievements in game design imo#perfectly balanced to be difficult but fair and visually stunning to boot#even if there is a layer of artificial difficulty in the final battle with the flowers obscuring their swords when they’re crouched#but the animations are solid enough that there are enough other more subtle differences like how hes shifting his weight#if he’s centered he’s going to lunge but if he’s angled he’s gonna sweep#I had so much fun with LoP and sekiro 🥰🥰🥰 I crave more…#I can’t say the combat in Elden ring gorilla gripped me like these two games have but I like HAVE to play dark souls I know this#sekiro#tsuchi plays games

I don't think Jennette is Athy's foil. Their interests are somewhat opposed to each other, but Jennette is not dramatically different from Athy, nor does her character serve to highlight Athy's character.
A foil is a character that, from a narrative point of view, contrasts with another character (usually the protagonist), to highlight their qualities. The foil usually exhibits opposite or conflicting traits, and they serve to better reflect the other character's traits and motivations.
Claude, Lucas and in the manhwa Anastasius have ideas and values that are very different from Athy's, especially regarding family. However, Anastasius is clearly Claude's foil, and Claude is more of a deuteragonist than anything. I could kind of see him contrasting with Athy (because of reasons similar to Lucas', those being, how they chose to deal with their grief), but I think his role is to be Anastasius' opposite.
Lucas fits a little more. He has an extremely similar backstory to Athy's (rejected and neglected by his biological family, kept away from the main house, then abandoned by his teacher, he chooses to "go to sleep" instead of facing his depression). Because of his traumatic experiences, Lucas chooses to freeze his heart instead of risking getting hurt again, which is the opposite of what Athy ultimately decides to do: Accept that she loves Claude and considers him her father, get hurt over and over, but nevertheless try to build a healthy relationship with him based on honesty and trust. This is what changes Lucas, (metaphorically and kind of literally) melts his heart, and makes him fall in love with Athy. However, Lucas is never truly put in a position where he is opposed to Athy. On the contrary, he is the character that stays by her side unconditionally, helps her reach her goals and protects her. That's why his role is the love interest.
I have thought about this topic before, and I always concluded that Athy simply does not have a foil. However, while answering this ask, I realized that there's a much better candidate for that position: LP!Jennette is wmmap!Athy's foil.
They both wanted to be loved by their family, but while Athy wins Claude's heart (at first by acting but shhh) by the sincere feelings of love and the relationship they slowly develop over time, Jennette never truly wins Claude over, unbeknown to her. The thing that makes Claude "love" her is the manipulation of her black magic. Moreover, while both LP!Jennette and wmmap!Athy know that their own good situations hurt the other (LP!Athy, wmmap!Jennette), wmmap!Athy goes very far in trying to befriend Jennette and help her, which can't be said for LP!Jennette (to be clear, she was never actively cruel to LP!Athy, but she also never tried to help her). What reflects their contrast the best is that, both know or learn the truth of their parentage, but Athy ends up telling Jennette the truth. LP!Jennette stays quiet and acts as if she is ignorant (which, as she herself admits, further hurts LP!Athy), because she feels Claude owes her the family and good standing she has, as he killed her real father.
I think the fact that wmmap!Jennette explicitly tells Athy that, if she were in Athy's place, she wouldn't have done what Athy did (comfort her, reach out, and talk to her first), is the novel's acknowledgement of how differently LP!Jennette and wmmap!Athy acted. While both had innocent and understandable desires, and you could say both were selfish in their own ways, LP!Jennette always prioritized her interests over anyone's (this is another conversation, but she also knew Ijekiel didn't love her and was unhappy, but she still kept him as her fiancé because that was her desire), which is the opposite of that wmmap!Athy did. More extremely put: wmmap!Athy saves Jennette from being executed or punished in any way because of the black magic storm she caused at her 18th birthday party. LP!Jennette does not do that for LP!Athy when she is framed. LP!Athy is executed, the day of her 18th birthday.
#disclaimer i have to put every time i touch this topic: this is a narrative analysis not an attack on any character or judgement of them#i don't care about any discourse please don't send me character hate im not interested its boring. Anyways-#going into this post i was like 'nah Jennette is not Athy's foil at all' but the more i wrote i realized LP!Jennette is kind of Athy's foil#i'm still kinda 'ehhh not sure' on the idea but i think she is the closest Athy has to a foil#if you are weirded out by me treating wmmap!Jennette and LP!Jennette as different characters... its because they are#wmmap!Jennette is not Athy's foil. While they have many differences she isn't in the narrative position of being Athy's foil#LP!Jennette however is another story. That's why the extra where wmmap!Athy goes to the LP dimension hits so hard#who made me a princess#i suddenly became a princess#suddenly became a princess one day#wmmap#sbapod#sbap#athanasia de alger obelia#athanasia#athy#jennette magrita#jennette margarita#wmmap meta

#guys can I be real for a sec#was texting my friend today and I casually mentioned I had probably developed a peach allergy#which is so depressing because I love peaches#but luckily I seemed to only be allergic to the fuzz on the outside#and my friend texted me 'I'll peel them for you'#and I think I died a thousand deaths at that#I told him that was one of the sweetest thing someone had ever told me and not to mind if I was getting emotional#and like it was chill after that we were havin a conversation on a completely different topic#but I don't think my friend really got how show-stopping jaw-dropping what he said to me was#and he's a chill guy so again I did tell him that was incredibly sweet because it's true and then we moved on#but I feel like I still need to scream at him in the face because my poor beating heart who is not casual at all about friendships#is going mad#these days especially I am rethinking a lot about my friendships and in general baout my human relationships#saw a friend I didn't see in a while a couple of days ago on a better night that I could have hoped for#spent yesterday night thinking about the words another friend told me#and now this guy it has relatively recently hit me how close we have grown. Like I recently realized I misremembered our relationship#and that we have been closer than I thought for longer than I thought#and today he hit me with this and he's chill but I am not and I kinda wanna send him that fucking post 'would you peel an orange for me'#I've had squishes more intense than your favourite romance books#I need to be hospitalised now because people care about me and like me and trust me. By people I mean my friends. Who'd have thought.

i gotta say one of my fave things about language is when you add random syllables to words or add nonsense words that rhyme
like for example, our girl cat is called minou but sometimes i'll call her "minoutschi". and then instead of saying "minou, du" i'll say "minoutschi dutschi". and when i'm feeling extra silly or loving i'll add a nonsense word, so i'll sweep her off the ground and pet her and say "minoutschi dutschi wutschi"
or sometimes she'll meow outside in the hallway, then wander in my room and start purring loudly while rolling around the ground (she does that when she gets clingy and really wants affection). and so i'll start petting her and she'll be purring and i'll say "du schnurrli wurli" (schnurrli/schnurli is a very common cat name based on the word "schnurren" which means "to pur". which is why it's my affectionate nickname for her when she's purring lol)
#i'll also call our kitties ''meine katzi schatzi'' or ''meine schatzi katzi''#they'll be sleeping somewhere and i'll give them little kisses on their little heads and say#''seids ihr meine katzi schatzi? ja meine schatzi katzi!''#it's so silly and stupid and i love it#languages are fun#airenyah plappert#airenyah's zoo#that's my thing with the kitties. for the doggo (nika) i actually have a different thing which goes:#''bist du nika? bist du bebi! du bist bebi weil du nika bist''#and sometime it's ''bist du nika‚ bist du bebi!''#sometimes she'll look at me and i'll just go ''bist du nika?? :D''#(''bebi'' is ''baby'' obvs but i HAD to spell it this way to really hit home that i am NOT pronouncing it like ''bay-bie'')#(that is extremely important for the silly factor)#no i'm not gonna translate all the german. this one's for my german speaking followers lol#i MAY make an exception if you ask me nicely and i like you tho#also i just realized i don't have anything for boy cat#i just always call him ''(da) kåda'' (dialect for ''(der) kater'') instead of his actual name#and sometimes i'll aspirate the k so much that it almost sounds more like a ch sound or how tyroleans might pronounce the k sound#(or actually kinda like how thais pronounce their ค or ข sometimes lol)

high key insane actually
#in only five years. and a few of them like mox have been there since the beginning#and people think this company is dying/was dead on arrival like... how#dont actually answer that i dont care. i just kinda realized i love this as an alternative like.. yeah#maybe they could treat their homegrown talent better but also its an actual alternative to the big fed#like... you know what i mean#hearing cd talk about it just kinda hit that yeah. they are only five years old. and already making history with stuff like all in london#insane. idk but its just. something about it is hopeful#i know its still just a billionaire boys playground more than anything else but still. it just hits different tonight#im gonna stop talking now lmao#wrestling musing

Yet another beautiful day to have the Maxwel tag blocked (can't see half of the posts in the Wendy tags)
#rat rambles#starve posting#maxwell posters have lost any semblance of tolerance from me ages ago Ive yet to meet a maxwell fan who's just like a normal person#and to clarify I actually do like maxwel as I am the number one just some asshole whos in too deep enjoyer#but dear god are ppl just absolutely incapable of being normal abt this man and everyone around him#and even beyond that ppl just do not get this man like please he is indeed interesting but not because of some 'retconed redemption'#like pls we can live in a world where he is not an irridemable monster and is in fact just some guy while also still being a flawed person#like the fact that he is so deeply flawed in ways that he never actually properly adressed and challenged is the interesting thing to me#like look at me. he went through horrible shit he didnt deserve. that didnt inherently make him a better or worse person#it just made him a more miserable person#and he didnt escape because of some change of heart or character development#and afterwards he teamed up with wilson because of necessity#I do think on some level he genuinely cares abt the other survivors and he does have genuine regret for how things turned out#but again those things dont inherently mean he moved past the flaws that got him here it just means he has the ability to recognize that#shit sucks and that he wish none of it happened#its why encore is one of my favorite animations from a character perspective because it shows some juicy charlie and maxwell stuff#mainly it shows both that charlie has not forgiven his ass and is manipulating him and that maxwell is still susceptible to it#which isnt a sigh of them rolling back development it's just a sign that maxwell is easy to manipulate with the right cards#which adds up considering his past and his present very well in my opinion#this is a man whos historically always ran away from his problems and is always on the hunt for a sense of control#and charlie tapped into both that and his ever present guilt#its in fact very unsurprising and not out of place for him to fall for that sort of manipulation#and it also makes for a great set up for the inevitable betrayal from charlie as maxwell is hit by the harsh reality of his situation#and that whole situation would lead to some yummy tasty parallels when charlie inevitably gets betrayed herself (I hope)#the ways charlie and maxwel are so similar yet so different facinates me deeply I love how much charlie doesnt realize shes kinda fucked#I want her to be betrayed so hard and left in the dust with no ground to stand on I want the rug pulled out from under her feet#her composition comes from her confidence in the necessity of her actions and the moral superiority she feels over maxwell#so having her sense of superiority be revoked would make for a super fascinating dynamic as she tries to justify the situation in her head#I wanna see her siral and then maybe change her pronouns idk

Wanda going to visit The Makers Damned and Logan calls her over when he sees her walk in. Wanda is confused when he pulls out some paperwork and goes “Skitch forgot to get you to sign these when they made you their emergency contact”. And that’s how Wanda finds out Skitch made her their emergency contact.
I just- 🥺
And Skitch is so casual about it when Wanda brings it up like, "Naturally yeah, who else would I put?" and that would just make Wanda softer the rest of the night.
Like, Wanda and Skitch have been going out for a while at this point and it's not the biggest deal among other things, but it just sorta cements how important they are to each other by now, y'know?
especially since Wanda had just finished updating her own paperwork to add Skitch as her emergency contact not too long ago.
#rough cut diamonds#wanda and skitch time#like of course they have each other as emergency contacts#it's really just a matter of them realizing the other's place in their lives#like you have the traditional big milestones and all that but stuff like this kinda hits different#like skitch is nonchalant about it to start#because it just felt natural to do#and that's when it hits them#and wanda's on top of it you already know#like after a certain point wanda knows that skitch is it for her#but the smaller ways skitch shows that reciprocation -even without knowing it- is what gets to wanda#in conclusion: wanda and skitch are cute#but we knew this#at least i did#jeweler!wanda#skitch#wanda maximoff#metalworker!reader#wanda maximoff x reader#rcd.headcanons#ib/skitch#ink.wanda#ib-jc.
