#rotating these characters in my brain 24/7

[talientravere]

Amarantus has taken up the entirety of my brain, so here’s what I think the gang were like as kids!

Arik: A menace. Stubborn, opinionated, and too clever for his own good. “Listens” to the adults but does things his own way anyway because he thinks he knows better. He gets it from his mom

Mireille: Prim little princess. Outwardly a good, obedient child, but she occasionally delights in secretly breaking the rules. She's so cute and so good at looking innocent that she almost never gets in trouble

Marius: So stinking adorable, super clingy and cuddly. I bet he was the kind of child who was always eager to help out adults with their Serious Adult Things, like a dog who’s excited to be given a job

Raeann: I… kinda feel like she was exactly the same lol. I’m guessing she had a rough life from a very young age, and had to learn how to be scrappy and fend for herself

Major: Honestly, I have no idea. I feel like the Major is so traumatized that it’s hard to tell what she was originally like. Was she always quiet and serious? Was she ever innocent and vibrant and energetic? Idk, it makes me sad to think about

Reckon: It’s also hard to say with him, because I feel like the Reckon we know is so shaped by his sister’s death and his time in the forest. I feel like he was a really sweet, sensitive kiddo though

Bonus

Marian: This is a tricky one… From what we’ve heard, she was very headstrong and independent, but was she like that as a child, growing up with other kids who were always a step ahead of her? I imagine she struggled socially as a child, and always felt like she had to prove herself

nahida standing in front of both of them protectively: actually, i got this

alhaitham: …..i appreciate it but honestly i didn’t really care—

I really like your nejisasuneji fanart!I think the similarity between Neji and Sasuke in Naruto is worth exploring. Both of them come from the pupil aristocracy, and their strength is about the same (the early Byakugan and Sharingan are both very strong), and both of them are rebels. Regardless of whether it was fate or the system, both people failed in the end. Neji still failed to escape fate and became a scapegoat. Sasuke finally compromised to the old system and ran around in order to maintain the status quo. It is very appropriate to use one sentence to evaluate the two people: "Those who try to control their destiny end up being controlled by destiny."It will be interesting for the sasuneji two to help each other: Sasuke helps Neji reform the Hyuga clan and break the curse seal of the caged bird. At the same time, the reform of the Hyuga clan becomes the beginning of the reform of the old system of the ninja world. Neji, who is no longer controlled by the caged bird, becomes Sasuke's right-hand man.

yesssss this is what drew me to them! i find it very interesting they are both clan prodigies with Baggage and both come from prestigious clans no less. remember when the sharingan and byakugan were compared to each other and it meant anything ever that was FUN.

i particularly enjoy the idea of contrasting them because If I Wrote Naruto (said every naruto fan ever) this conflict of like. sasuke goes on to be the one who could Not bear to stay in konoha and then later turns against it, vs neji who stayed in konoha after being promised that things would change (and they didn't. funny that) would be something to be explored! especially after Both having been seen as Shitty, Angry Prodigies. but neji "calmed down" after being made promises that weren't kept and sasuke didn't let himself even consider falling for stuff like that (until the ending of naruto lmfao)

i'm a big fan of characters who contrast like that lol and i think the whole sharingan vs byakugan thing is a very fun backdrop to that. like dreams/illusions vs reality/truth? come on now.

people joke about it a lot i've seen, but literally if neji as a character were allowed to 1. exist in a meaningful way at all in shippuden lmfao 2. interact with sasuke, i do think it'd be an easy path for interesting interactions, because like. having to defend the village who's literally never helped you, against the guy who was also Never given any assistance or support growing up, AFTER the village made you countless promises that your life would get better when it literally did not? lol. lmao even

them teaming up is sincerely on the like top 5 best things that would happen If Naruto Made Any Sense to me to be honest i do think about it a lot.

absolutely and completely disinterested in dungeon meshi shipping discourse, yet every day I am forced to see snippets of it as I look for cute fanart. like a truffle pig I am pushing my nose through the dirt for little treats

HELLO I DID NOT SEE THIS BEFORE I SENT YOU THE MESSAGE but. takes psychic damage from everything

I doodled the Asters! Rigel seems to be quite a bit out of his element, being disconnected from a computer, and at this size at that, while Vega seems much less bothered, at least on the surface, perhaps he's just enjoying the silence of not having computer diagnostics run through his brains 24/7.

These two are Original Characters by @logicpng and you can also get them on your Desktop as an Ukagaka right >>here<<!

I always fall back to that one scenario with Ukagaka I like, where they kind of fall out of the screen at he size they appear to be on it so they get to run around on my desk all tiny X)))))

I always end up rotating a bunch of scenarios with that premise around in my brain, the Spamton handheld GIFs from a while back where the same thing haha.

And like....

I know Vega meant out of view of the monitors but I immediately read this as him wanting to run around outside of the computer and it jump started this old pattern again XD

[pinkiepig]

I need my favorite characters rotating in my brain 24 7 it is the way of life.

[chungle-nugget]

saw your tags on that fanart and was confused - when was Jason ever with Mullet Nightwing? in the comics he died while Dick was still wearing the original Discowing costume, is there another media where there are Robin-Jay and Mulletwing adventures?

aw man, you know what, that's an amazing question. heck if I know literally anything about the legitimate timeline (if there is such a thing); I'm working with knowledge from BTAS mostly, since that was my gateway into the batfam. because the show creators mashed Jason and Tim into One New Robin™ (for somewhat decent reasons, I don't begrudge them that choice...much) (except that I sort of do and we were ROBBED but still the show is a treasure), the Robin in BTAS that would have been the second Robin, aka Jason (even though he's literally called Tim Drake, so he's not Jason, he just has his entire backstory ughhhh ROBBED I SAY), comes into the plotline concurrently with Mullet!Wing. so yeah it's technically not Jason, but it would have been, since it's the second Robin chronologically to enter the batfam storyline. but it's really just my mind playing wibbly wobbly with their timelines and I have no idea what I'm saying half the time, these characters are just rotating in my brain 24/7 surrounded by hearts

for your viewing pleasure: THEM

It’s my birthday too! !! Happy Birthday! I wanted to ask you about Jacobi since he rotates around my brain like he’s on a microwave plate 24/7. Just, general Jacobi thoughts, go crazy , I think about him all the time

yayy, shared birthday!! i hope you had a good one. you're actually the second person who told me it was their birthday too... june 21st birthday club!!

i feel a little guilty saying this, since it was your birthday too, but jacobi is one of my least favorite characters. not to say i don't have things to say about him, but. i don't care for him at all.

some things i can say about jacobi:

i think the most compelling thing about him is that his character arc is a perfect loop back around to his backstory mini episode - two people are dead. he feels responsible. he's out of a job. what now? in things that break other things, he deflects. he rationalizes - "it wasn't anyone's fault; everyone was just doing their jobs" - but is that really true? or is that what he has to tell himself in order to live with himself, and to keep doing the work that he wants to do. when jacobi says "i was wrong and people died, and the only thing i can do is not be wrong again" to kepler in the finale, it's as much about the deaths that weigh on him. maxwell's most of all.

... and i think there's potential for change there, now that he's able to confront it, but in a lot of ways that's the start of a character arc rather than the culmination of one. i will never believe that jacobi wants to spend any more time around minkowski, eiffel, and hera (nor vice versa, really) - they are also the people who killed maxwell to him, and they will never be "his" people. but i think if you were going to write about post-canon jacobi and that theme of survivor's guilt + escaping destructive cycles, lovelace would be a good counterpart to him for that - she's further along on that journey, he expresses a kind of respect and even almost-friendship for her that he doesn't for the rest of the hephaestus crew, and she has a more... biting sense of humor; i think they could actually be friends (or at least narrative parallels) given the right conditions.

and speaking of narrative parallels: he actually has a lot in common with minkowski. jacobi plays at being a rebel, a loose cannon, etc. because it gets people's guards down, but he's very, very patient, calculating, and measured. he is not an impulsive person, and more than that - he's a follower by nature, and a rule follower. jacobi doesn't believe in the "bigger picture" for his own sake, but he is deeply committed to maxwell's bigger picture. he wants to be told what to do, he wants to feel like he has a purpose within a greater system/structure, and - crucially to dirty work - he wants to be able to shirk responsibility when something goes wrong. jacobi craves certainty, he needs that faith in the judgment of the people who give him orders, and i think what dirty work does by positioning jacobi and minkowski as narrative foils highlights a lot of similarities in their faults.

(it does drive me a little crazy when people compare him to eiffel or say they'd get along under different circumstances, like... no? for all his other faults, eiffel is distinctly anti-authoritarian and sincere. they're like, coworkers with different politics who would really rather not speak to each other if at all possible.)

appearance-wise: i firmly believe he needs glasses (the line about his eyesight not quite being good enough is the kind of thing he'd downplay + it's a fun inverse of people drawing maxwell with glasses when she canonically doesn't need them), he has very specific military masculinity issues (thanks to his father) (and gabriel urbina once said jacobi's car is probably the civilian model of something used in the military) so i think he keeps his hair very short, and. i actually don't think he has notable burn scars. i respect that it's a distinct design choice, but canonically i think it makes more thematic sense that he wasn't personally, physically hurt by that accident (and i think someone would probably have made a remark about visible burn scars on the guy insisting he "is that good" with explosives.)

[herearedragons]

i think i fooled myself into believing i sent an ask before whoops can i get 5, 7, 17, 25, 31, 33, 39, 40, 43, 45, 50!!!

5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?

well honestly Selene is already what I would consider a popular oc because like. more than a handful of people know who she is and have said nice things about her and people have ??? drawn her ??? unprompted ??? which is WILD shoutout to the Selene fandom once again. so if I had an option to make one (1) oc popular on a larger scale it would probably be her because I already know she'd click with people (and also she's my favorite and I'd never get sick of talking about her/seeing other people talk about her).

but also as a secondary option, Aqun and/or Adina because I feel like they have some fun nuance to them and I'd be kind of curious to see different people's takes/opinions/interpretations of them

7. Are your OCs part of any story or stories?

BDJDBSJSHSJSBSJDJDKS well?????? yes?????????

most of them are part of the story of their associated videogame, and then there's all the fic I'm writing. I do also have some non-fandom characters/settings rotating in my brain, but it's nothing concrete enough to talk about

17. Any OC OTPs?

no OCxOC ones, but a lot of OCxcanon ones tbh. if we narrow "OTP" down to One True Pairing as in "I can't envision them with anything else" then it's Selene and Edér (surprising no one) and Mae and the Devil of Caroc (which also shouldn't be surprising). if we interpret it as "favorite ship regardless of whether this PC has other ships", then I'm adding SolAqun to the list bc they've also been on the brain lately. the holy trinity of Doomed Yaoi, Undoomed Yuri and Impending Doom Het Ship

25. The OC that resembles you the most (same hobby, height, shared like/dislike for something etc?)

funnily enough probably Aqun. we look nothing alike but Aqun🤝me (multicultural, multilingual, single child, STEM, Logic and Rationality as a coping mechanism, inclined towards Making Things, burning hatred of Social Overcomplication)

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)

Adina would 1000% be on here and her blog would be red-themed with yellow/blue/green accents, have a custom HTML theme she edited herself with artwork BY her, and it would be just all of her interests in one big pile with a barely functioning tagging system. she posts her vitaar designs a lot and her pfp is Her Actual Face with her favorite vitaar design up to date. she uses all caps/keysmashes a lot and vibes perfectly with tumblr's more absurdist kind of humor. Funny Nonsense comes to her effortlessly

33. Your shyest OC?

LORENZO. he's trying so hard to figure out how to People and having the physique of a Death Omen + an evil voice in his head is not helping. also he was a slave for the first 24-ish years of his life and old habits of Be Quiet Be Helpful Don't Speak Unless Spoken To die hard

39. Introduce any character you want

making you look at: the guy from the previous question. he's a runaway slave. he's a Ghost Bard. he was briefly possessed by the god of death and killed everyone in his master's estate with a song. he can sing ghosts into existence. he's haunted by his evil past life. he doesn't speak Aedyran (Eoran English) that well yet. HE'S SHY.

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!

@curiouslavellan I have to shout you out again because brainstorming Selene and Helaine plotlines in real time in DMs has been one of this year's highlights for sure. the people don't even know about the soul merging in POE1 and the Selene Is Dead drama in POE2. they don't even know about the werewolf au (well. one other person knows about the werewolf au)

43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess

I'm going to be real, my OC creation process IS just like. *spins wheel* so what's the source of YOUR deep set feeling of alienation

45. A character you no longer use?

shoutout to this girl who is an old creepypasta OC of mine. I still care her

50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you want

subjecting you to the mental image of Aqun and Eldritch Wolf Solas chilling together in some nice scenic place. they never got to do that but I think they should have

[nightmare-foundation]

Dick Grayson for the character bingo pretty please

I'm deeply normal about Dick Grayson. I'm totally not rotating him in my brain 24/7

[schmaltzydoodles]

posted these on Valentine's Day on facebook and then forgot to post them here too aoeusghdkjhdf ughhh not to mention school has me so busy what with leading a big project for major subject and all

i'm fine. this is fine. kill me

here are some Canon characters x OCs that rot my brain 24/7 on rotation (Lately, it's mostly Bugs Bunny x Daisy Bell, the Monkie Kid poly trio and Striker x Rez)

even tho my hyperfixation for Striker and Rez and Helluva boss in general has died down a bit, it especially still lives in my head rent-free and refuses to get evicted

feel free to ask about them bc i wanna fangirl

🌸 Steal my art and I'll steal y'alls kneecaps <3 good day and night to you all🌸

[markantonys]

Who are your fave characters if gawyn is fifth? What is like your top ten wot characters i yearn to know

[cracks knuckles] all right let's go!

elayne

egwene

rand

mat (show!mat and pre-COT mat only, COT-AMOL mat is dead to me and i would fight him in a parking lot if i could. ACOS-WH mat is also on thin fucking ice. so basically, show!mat and then about 40% of book!mat lmao)

gawyn

i used to put rand above egwene, but i'm riding the high of my season 2 rewatch and so up she goes! to be honest she comes very close to unseating elayne too, but elayne is like.............she just is MY wot character, you know? nobody can unseat her ever.

after that it's more nebulous as we get into "characters whom i love but who do not Make Me Think" territory, as opposed to the above guys whom i'm constantly rotating in my mind. these include aviendha, nynaeve, faile, verin, and loial. my favorite villains are probably lanfear (only thanks to the show), graendal (stealth smartest & most competent forsaken you can't change my mind), and demandred (he's sexy, he's melodramatic to the point of comedy, he has a homoerotic obsession with rand, what more could i ask for in a villain).

i know it's sacrilege to list gawyn higher than the likes of nynaeve and aviendha, i KNOW, but listen, this boy is like a goddamn 24/7 rotisserie chicken in my brain and those two, much as i adore them, just don't have the same ability to occupy so much of my brain real estate. there's also definitely a recency bias at play, because the best portion of nynaeve's story happens in the first half of the series and then she's reduced to a background character in the second half, whereas the best portion of gawyn's story happens during the final 3 books. as for aviendha, it's tough to say because she was SO sorely underused in the books, i genuinely think she might have even less pov across the whole series than gawyn. okay i just looked it up and that is not true, she does have about 10k more words of pov than he does - which, considering that gawyn only even APPEARED in a few pages per book until TGS, is NOT as many more words as should be the case if she hadn't been so underused!

(i also learned that min has the highest pov wordcount after the main 6 (UPDATE: and moiraine, who's the next highest after the main 6 and right above min, although that's if new spring is factored in), which disgusts me, no WONDER i was so constantly pissed off in the second half of the series having to listen to her whine so much! i guess it makes sense she's so high when her sole function in the story is to provide Outsider POV of rand. i'm sure that of her 111k words, 110k of them are about him. i also learned that 50% of AMOL is narrated by non-main-6 characters, and wow, that really explains why emotional investment was so shit during that book. i get wanting to wrap up loose ends with as many characters as possible and trying to show the scale of the last battle by showing what a million different people are doing during it, but we should have spent WAY more than 50% of the final book in the series with our main 6 characters!)

[rhondafromhr]

Figured it was about time I made an intro post! You can call me Rhonda :) pronouns she/her. rhondafromhr on ao3. In my mid/late 20s. This is primarily a Hatchetfield blog - I have watched and enjoyed most of Starkid’s other stuff and will post about it occasionally, but NPMD literally changed my brain chemistry and the Hatchetfield brainrot took hold from there. Might post about other fandoms here and there too. More below the cut <3

I’m full of weird AU ideas that I may or may not end up writing and post about them pretty frequently (so many situations to put these characters in, so little time). I’m also open to fic requests! I can’t promise I’ll always write them just due to time constraints and being overwhelmed with all my current unfinished works, but still feel free to send them :)

I use tone tags very occasionally, usually only if I get anxious and really want to make sure something doesn’t come across wrong (but if you let me know you prefer people use tone tags in their interactions with you I’ll make sure to do that!)

I’m a corruption arc enjoyer (check out my pride and joy, “We’re Gonna Become the Bullies” on ao3 - all updates and posts about it are tagged npmd corruption au) and crackship/rarepair conniessur. My favorite of all time is Halocheer (Grace/Brenda from Hatchetfield). Sure they never interact, but their dynamic would be so fun if they did and I’m rotating them in my head pretty much 24/7. If you love silly ships where they make each other better but also worse, you should join me in being completely normal about them :D

My tags are:

- rhonda rambles, which will be used for posts about my life and any non-fandom related thoughts

-rhonda rambles about fic writing for talking about my fics and/or the writing process

-rhonda rants for complaining…I’m not big on complaining about fandom stuff and tend to just avoid/filter whatever I don’t like so it’ll mainly be stuff that’s bothering me IRL (also rhonda vagues for when I’m vagueposting…again, will mostly relate to IRL stuff).

Anyways that’s all, hope you have fun on my blog!
