"I AM JUST YOUR EVERYDAY NORMAL CAT!" -

Secret of the Stars (Tecmo - SNES - 1995)

Secret f/o's 👀 I cast upon thee, talk about 🌌

Does your F/O believe in astrology? Bonus: what does your astrology compatibility say about you and your F/Os signs?

Do you or your F/O believe in love at first sight? Do you believe in soulmates?

What’s an often overlooked or unknown trait about your F/O that you adore? What’s your special trait that they love?

How sentimental is your F/O? Do they keep every little gift you give them? Do they carry your picture around with them?

Does your F/O feel safe you be vulnerable around you? Do you feel comfortable doing the same around them?

What would the ideal dream date be for you? What would be your F/O’s ideal dream date?

What relationship tropes would you say best describe your relationship with your F/O?

I know it's a lot of questions from the ask game, so if you want to skip some of them, I totally understand 😅

oKAY let's do it!!! *kicks up my legs and gets comfy* My relationship with this f/o is a quirky one that involves nonsexual bdsm so consider it M-rated (16+), I guess! I only get into that under the 'readmore' though because this is a LONG answer thank you anon I adore you <3 <3

(ask game: i'm answering questions about my secret f/os and my slasher kiddos right now!!)

4. I guess I was inviting this question with the emoji I chose! A version of astrology is kind of baked into the in-universe magic system, so it's not really a matter of whether we believe in it? I don't think he has a canon birthday, but I'm assigning him Aquarius on aesthetic vibes. I don't do astrology so lemme do a quick google on that... "With Libra and Aquarius, you'll find a strong connection in friendship and love, and likely good sexual compatibility — though it may take some time to develop. Communication is one area where this duo can break down a little, and they may have to work harder than other couples to really make things stick."

I mean, that's not false!

38. He definitely does believe in love at first sight, he's.... an incurable romantic, it's one of the things I tease him about. I don't, I think that love is a lot of work and commitment that doesn't happen all at once. I don't think that either of us believe in soulmates, though. The world is too complicated for something like that.

11. An overlooked trait that I love about him... is that it's very hard to get him out of performance mode. He's always trying to project one character or another, and I think that it's easy to take him at face value, because he's flashy and impulsive and it's hard to pick apart where exactly the performance stops reflecting his reality. If that makes any sense at all. I love that my job is to break down that performance.

As for a trait he loves about me... I think it would probably be my attentiveness. I've got a good sense of when his mood shifts, but even more importantly I have a good sense of the people around us. It's not quite one of his skills, reading the room (an understatement), so we make a good team on that front.

27. On a scale of 1-10, he's an 11 on the sentimental scale. He struggles with getting rid of presents from people he's fallen out with. We're not a romantic relationship, so we don't have photos of each other, but he definitely keeps things that I give him. Once our relationship went from professional to friendship, he did give me some earrings with sentimental meaning and also some protection magic, and I wear those very often! I think I'm a healthy 6 or 7 on the sentimental scale.

34. The type of our relationship kind of demands that we have to be comfortable being vulnerable around each other! That said, from the start we have a lot of systems in place to protect both of us. As the relationship progresses, those systems start to fall away and get replaced by trust and experience.

15. What are our dream dates? Oh BOY, well. I think that's something that's definitely developed over the relationship. We've been trying to get a trio scene to work with his other partner for the last while, but the dynamics have made it difficult. I think his dream day would probably be something with the three of us, if we can get our shit figured out.

As for my dream day... I'd like a little coffee date where we catch up as friends and I can hear all the hot gossip, and then we go back to his house and do an age play scene where I get to be devastatingly considerate and he cries about it. That's the satisfying scenes for me, and it takes the most trust from him.

40. We're a relationship that it's hard to define by tropes, because it's not a very traditional one. We're not romantic but we're not quite platonic. We're nonsexual but that doesn't mean that sexuality doesn't play a role in our relationship. I feel like there are still tropes that are relevant to us but I can't put my finger on them when I try. Something about class travelling (highblood finds escape in lowblood circles), something about two damaged people with compatible coping strategies (one who needs control, one who likes to give it up).

as newspapers today dont tend to hire children, a modern day Tintin would run a clickbait YouTube channel, except the clickbait is 100% real every single time

he starts off as an irritating conservative pundit at 14, meets Chang then leaves the think tank paying him and launches his own independent channel and blows up shortly after. Chang helps with video editing and managing his socials and they often chat on video calls between adventures. Haddock, his foster dad, has absolutely no knowledge of his earlier videos.

Reading Updates As always, tags are for personal archiving purposes only.

ORV reread: Chapters 171 - 300. Not only did I get to chapter 200, I got to chapter 300! This feels like a good spot to pause and pick up reading something else on my tbr. I'll work towards 400 once I'm a little bit farther in on my planned summer reading. (Summers almost over and I have 2 books left in my schedule). Lythande: 100%. This was a pretty horrible book. There were aspects that weren't the worst, and the last story, written by a different author, was not half as bad as anything that came before. However, it's still my least enjoyable read of the year. Percy Jackson & the Sea of Monsters: 100%. Got this on audiobook from the library. I finished it rather quickly, but honestly I felt like the story was less strong than in the first book, but the overarching plot of the series and characterization is still quite good. Secret of the Stars: 100%. This was a zine for the video game Genshin Impact. It features the characters Aether and Albedo in a romantic relationship. This isn't my top ship for either of these characters but I do think it's a very cute one. I enjoyed the stories and art within. Crown of Midnight: 100%. This was another library read. Sequel to Throne of Glass. There were a few things that irritated me in this book compared to the first one, but I still enjoyed it and will pick up the third. This Is How You Lose the Time War: 55% Just started this as my second to last summer reading schedule. I'm really enjoying it so far, and the unique way it's written really allows you to get into the heads of the characters and understand them better. There are a few things that were a bit confusing at first, since none of the terminology is explained and each letter is a jump to some other part of the time stream. However this has been a great read so far and I'm excited to be able to finish it soon. TBR: The Great Hunt. Sequel to Eye of the World. I'm hoping to be able to start and finish this one for the month of August to finish my summer reading schedule, but as it's quite a lot to read, I might not finish it until the start of September. Next 100 ORV. Once I've finished my Summer tbr I'm diving back into ORV and hoping to get to chapter 400 as part of my autumn reading goals. Boyfriend Material. I was recommended this as I enjoyed Red, White, and Royal Blue. I'm not much of a contemporary romance guy, but I've been trying to expand my horizons in that direction, so hopefully I'll enjoy this one. I'll be getting it from the library and reading it as part of my autumn schedule. The Wind By My Side. This is a single issue fancomic for Genshin Impact. The main pairing is Zhongli and Venti. This is another where I do really enjoy this pairing but it's not my favourite ship for them. Still, as it's a single issue it should be pretty easy to pick up for autumn reading. Good Omens. I read this years ago and wanted to write a review for it and found that I'd forgotten enough of it that it warranted a reread before doing so, so I added it to my autumn goals. A Court of Mist and Fury. I read ACOTAR at the start of the summer and enjoyed it, though I don't think it was as good as Throne of Glass. I'm a little nervous about picking this one up due to spoilers I've seen about the series and some of the characters, but I don't think it's going to be bad, and I liked the first book so I'm going to be giving this one a try as my final book for the autumn reading list.

When the numbers on the scale goes down:

Some ISAT fanarts I recently drew 💖 I love Siffrin so much,,

I want to yoink their cloak n hat and wear it at any season omg it looks so comfy,,

❕ TwoHats post-game spoilers under cut! And little SASASAP spoiler ❕💖

I really love to imagine that after Siffrin's party discovers that Loop is also Siffrin, the original one from previous loop cycle, Siff's party accepted having second Siffrin in their family and then Loop started to sob from utter happiness. Then everyone gathered around Loop and gave them a group hug, which made Loop regain their human body back as their wish finally gets fulfilled as they're together with them again 💖

Also started playing SASASAP recently and found out that Siffrin also knows origami :0c

My favorite things that Obi-Wan and Ezra have in common:

Hondo's "best friend"

Maul's obsession

Unique bond with animals

Fond of a Mandalorian named Sa_ine.

Spending ten years in exile before someone comes for them.

Fondness for Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex

HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY TO IN STARS AND TIME!!!

To celebrate, here's a frankly MASSIVE collection of unfinished and/or unposted fanart from over the past year that I've made, starting from all the way back when i first played the game in December last year <3

A whole year in sketches! Maybe you can see how my style changed over time? Tysm if you looked at all that, it means a lot that you enjoyed the art I was too shy to upload on its own!

And thank you everyone for such a spectacular year!!! I've loved meeting you all and getting to reignite my creative spark! What an incredible game and fandom!
