#seriously hard questions

[elllisaaa]

desperately need you to make a jihoon version for bf thoughts huhu 😭😭😭

BF!JIHOON who sometimes gets lost in his own world, but you're always here to bring him back to reality, and he never fails to show you how grateful he is for you.

music takes such a huge part of his life, it's impossible for him not to involve you in all of this. he tried to keep it away at first - because it was work and he didn't want to annoy you. but as soon as you show him that you're interested in what he does, in how he produces his music, jihoon is more than happy to introduce you to his universe. he makes you sit on his lap while he explains to you how he creates his music step by step, and he feels both so shy and so proud whenever you tell him that he's talented or that he's a genius. it leads to him letting you spend a lot of time with him at the studio - jihoon loves to have you there because you're his main source of inspiration, and you love to be with him because it motivates you to work too. you're always the first one he shows a song to, because he values your thoughts a lot, the most important opinion is yours. jihoon has definitely written so many songs for you, or about you. one time, you listened to a song he wrote before the two of you even got together and you noticed that jihoon was talking about you. you always get emotional when he does music for you and your boyfriend melts inside everytime you listen to the songs he made for you.

"can you listen to this and tell me if you like it, jagiya ? i'm not sure about what i've done with the vocals but maybe your voice could be a cute addition, don't you think ?"

jihoon gets so sleepy around you. some would argue that it's because he often comes by after work or because his sleep schedule isn't the best, but he knows that it's much more than that - it's because you're his home, and when he learned that you tend to feel sleepy when you're with people you deeply trust and love, he was sure that you were the one. jihoon also loves it when you're the one falling asleep on him, be that on his lap, on his shoulder or against his chest, he will wrap his arms around you and caress your hair every time. he has so many pictures of you sound asleep in his arms that he cannot count them - it means that you're just as comfortable around him that he is around you, and it makes him feel like the luckiest man in the world. jihoon always gets shy when you decide to attack him with random marks of affection. it makes him blush like crazy, but he's so cute with his red cheeks that you can't help it and he's so in love with you that he doesn't stop you - plus he cannot deny how it makes his heart melt every time.

"you won't ever stop, right ?" - "never." - "good, i like it when you kiss my nose…"

he's very attentive to every detail about you and your habits. jihoon knows literally everything about you, and it's so soothing to feel this loved. he always makes sure that you feel included in every conversations, especially when you're spending time with his members. he knows that thirteen people can be a lot, so he always take care of you so that you feel heard and listened to. if you're talking about something and you stop mid sentence because you think no one he's listening, he makes sure to remind you that he always listens and he asks you to continue, fully focused on you. he loves, loves, loves when you do your nails - that he obviously pays for - and especially when they're very long because it feels so good when you scratch his back or his scalp with them. jihoon almost purrs like a cat when you do that, his eyes fluttering shut and he nuzzles his head in your neck. you love it so much when he gets so cuddly and soft, and jihoon loves to be babied by you sometimes.

"let's just stay like this for a little while, please ?"

BF!JIHOON who's sweet when he's with you, but who cannot hold back his possessiveness once the two of you are alone.

jihoon works on his muscles too much to not use them to his advantage. it all started when you began to compliment his muscles every time he came back from the gym. it fuels his ego, yes, but it also makes him hard in his shorts. to know that you find his strength attractive, to know that he could overpower you every second when you're playfully fighting, it drives him crazy. so now, everytime you piss him off, everytime you're being a brat, he's using his strength to manhandle you in every position he wants. the fact that he can do anything with your body is turning him on too. when he's fucking into you and not letting you cum, he grips your hips tightly to stop you from squirming around. when you're not allowed to touch him but you try either way, he pins your hands down to the mattress. when he's having you from behind, he holds your hips up and forces his cock into you no matter how much you moan and cry. jihoon loves to know that he's able to take over you so easily, loves to know that he can do whatever he wants from you and that you're gonna love it.

"you're not moving until i let you, you know that so why are you trying ?"

he's a producer, he loves people's voices and he loves to work with them. so it's no surprise that jihoon is addicted to the way your voice sound. he thinks it's soothing when he's stressed, and it's so sexy when he's fucking you. he loves how he can always tell how you're feeling by the sounds you're making. he drinks every noise you make - gasps, moans, wimpers, whines and mewls, he loves it all. that's the reason why he prefers to fuck behind closed doors, where he can make you scream his name without risking anyone hearing you, where he doesn't have to muffle your pretty moans that make him even harder. when you gasp and whine against his mouth when he's kissing you, he speeds up his thrusts, and when you wrap your arms around his neck and whimper against his ear, he has to squeeze your waist harder to not lose his mind. jihoon even goes as far as holding back his own moans to hear yours better. he loves your noises so much that he might put them in one of his songs, and he seriously considers releasing it, just to make it clear that you're his.

"that's it jagiya, let everyone know who's making you feel good… shit, i love your pretty moans so much."

one thing about jihoon is that he loves to hear you moan, yes, but he also likes when you're begging him, begging for him. when he's already fucking you rough and that you plead for him to go harder, it makes him lose his mind. he asks you to beg for virtually anything in bed - you want him to eat you out ? beg. you want him to fuck you from behind ? beg. you want to suck his cock ? you have to beg for it. jihoon will never admit it, but he kinda likes it too when you're teasing him in public by begging him for something simple but you both know he cannot help thinking about your words in another context. one thing he will never tell you either is that he thinks it's hot when you are the one making him beg sometimes. not gonna lie, it's not easy to get him there - you have to catch him on a day he's tired because then he lets you take care of him and ride him. but when he does beg for you, it's so attractive you just want to do it all over again. jihoon is shy about it though, and he still prefers when you're the one saying please and being putty in his hands.

"you want me to fuck you ? then you know what to say, uh ?" - "please, jihoon, please fuck me." - "that's right, good girl."

Okay gang, here's a silly little game. I've assembled six teams of blended Narnia and Tolkien/LotR characters. Here they are:

For bonus points, tell me in the tags where you're going on your road trip, who has what role (driving, snacks, aux) on the road, and what you'll stop off and see along the way

[allastoredeer]

~Lucifer blanches. He looks around, as if trying to find a sense of Alastor’s words somewhere in the trash-heap he calls a room, before rounding back to him, lips pulling up in disgust. “Are you asking me out?”

“Ahaha!” Alastor laughs, slapping him so hard on the back it nearly takes Lucifer off his feet. “Oh, Heavens no. I’m just proposing we let Hell continue thinking that you and I are,” he waves his hand, searching for the word, “in cahoots. In that way.”~

This is golden comedy right here. Honestly every time I read ur fic I always start wheezing so hard I can’t breathe, u are an amazing writer, hope u know that. When I saw ur last update on the ‘damage control’ chapter i was so excited i devoured it so fast help

Alastor saying he wants to be in ‘cahoots’ with Lucifer it’s so funny to me cause no one use that term anymore, and Lucifer is just downright dumbfounded that they are even having the conversation. I can imagine the shadow rolling his eyes at them, we need more sassy shadow moments, he is so underrated. 😭😭

I love that Lucifer is trying to respect Al boundaries, especially after the ‘incident’ , and doesn’t pry to much on his scars, but now I am curious about what did Al meant. Does he not remember who did that to him? 🥺

Also I am curious about what they gonna tell to the others about their new found relationship. I don’t think Lucifer would want to lie to Charlie, but I also think that it would be too risky to make the whole crew knew they are acting, someone might slip. And it’s not like Al is gonna make it easy for Lucy anyway. If they want to be credible, less ppl knowing it’s best course of action for me.

Last thing~ I really wanted to thank you, cause ur fic really brings me a lot of joy since I recently only been able to find happiness in small things like these , and I I can’t wait to read more🌈

Hehehe, Alastor purposefully refusing to go into depth about their "sexual relationship," and even side-stepping outright calling it a relationship, is what's going to make it all more entertaining when he actually has to commit to the bit. Cuz you see, they're not fucking. They're "in cahoots."

It's different.

(I love Alastor's Shadow being sassy. If it's attached to Alastor, it has to be. I take no critiques.)

😈 Alastor and his scars is something I'm very excited to get into it. I've been thinking about them for a while, and while it may take a bit to actually get the answer, I'm very eager to get there when we do.

The way I see it, Alastor doesn't want to tell the others (as they already know their not actually dating--as he made VERY clear last time), but Lucifer isn't going to be okay with lying to Charlie. Out of the group, Alastor knows he can trust Husk and Niffty to keep it a secret. Maybe Angel Dust too. But he's most worried about Charlie and Vaggie.

Vaggie isn't a good liar, and Charlie's such an open, bright, heart-on-her-sleeves person, he doesn't trust her to keep up the ruse without letting something slip--most likely by accident.

But Lucifer is stubborn. He doesn't want to lie to Charlie, and if he tells Charlie, Charlie is going to tell Vaggie. If Vaggie knows, well, we already know she has a hard time lying on the spot, so if the others see Alastor and Lucifer suddenly "in cahoots," and ask about it, she's not going to be able to come up with a plausible excuse on the fly.

This is all to say, the next installment is going to be full of silly Hazbin Crew hijinks, where Alastor is forcefully enrolled into Chaggies Dating 101 Crash Course, and he is definitely not setting the grading curve. (And maybe we'll even get a bit of HuskerDust thrown in there, who knows. Certainly not me).

And it warms me so much to know that my fic can bring you joy in a time that such things are scarce 🥺 I can't wait to share more of the story with you!

[disasterbuck]

whats according to you the most realistic ways they could go about making buddie canon on the show

for me personally the most realistic way they could make buddie canon on the show would be by making buck and eddie a couple on the show

[loadinghellsing]

what is your least favorite thing about anderson 😈

the fact he doesn't wear socks.

There's "I don't give a fuck" energy, and then there's "fight genetically enhanced gun weilding Dracula in loafers without socks" energy.

This man seriously rolled out of bed, did the bare fuckin minimum. And said “yep. I can defeat the horrors like this”.

Edit: THAT'S PRESUMING HE CLEARED THE BOOKS FROM HIS BED AND DIDN'T JUST STAY UP ALL NIGHT READING

[yellowocaballero]

"you'd fight me if you actually liked me" so obito logic is that kakashi liked him in the other timeline but not in this one... bc he's been made less miserable by the butterfly effect changes obito had...? bc he has to be miserable to like him back...? naruto please invent therapy.

NARUTO PLEASE INVENT THERAPY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

That's a definite solid interpretation. The other timeline was 'more correct', and emotions were expressed 'correctly'. There was more suffering and suffering = good, so less suffering = bad, and bad = less conflict, and less conflict = No Naruto Therapy-no-Jutsu, etc, etc...

You can also think about it as: on some level Obito knows he's in Naruto, and he knows how things are supposed to go. He's a rigid thinker (gnc of him) and he's trying to operationalize his life by diving it into shonen tropes. In shonen, the way Kakashi would express his love for Obito would be through a climactic therapy-no-jutsu fight. There's a flashback to Naruto on a swing. Of course, in this tropey Naruto-based understanding, Obito will have to die. The heteronormative happily ever after is built on the foundation of his death. That is part of the reason why Obito thinks he has no place in Sakura's new world. The world works a certain way, so Kakashi could only ever love him in this way, and it will always be tragic. Hey, the more I talk the more I'm wondering if Obito is autistic. Anyway.

This fic truly could have only been written by someone who views all shonen in the context of Naruto (somehow adjacent to how one ought to view all dungeon manwha in relationship to Solo Leveling). Unavoidable side effects of understanding that Naruto is the archetypal shonen manga and that all other modern shonen manga has to purposefully differentiate itself from Naruto while also being basically Naruto, because shonen is one of those genres that has to be formulaic by virtue of its genre and audience.

An insane part of me wants to rewrite the entire story to be a spoof of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, changing almost nothing. Another insane part of me wants it to be a spoof of Saturday morning super-hero cartoons. It's all the same thing, right? You see how it's all the same thing?!

[thechaotichorselord]

[lezbianz]

i’m ta’ing for an intro to women & gender studies class and the question of whether the tradwives are feminists because they are Women Making Choices was seriously asked and discussed. folks it’s been fun but i think it might seriously be over for feminism

[thiccoritaaa]

After having played through the mass effect trilogy 3 times now i keep coming back to the same question.......

what is everyone's obsession with Garrus??? He's cool ig but 10+ years of seeing fanart of this dude gave me the expectations that he'd be much more interesting, especially his romance which is sweet but underwhelming and I def wouldn't say it's leagues above anyone elses. It's actually been very disappointing ngl 😔 why does the game and fandom seem to presume that hes ur canonical best friend, sorry gang Legion was my #1 homie

[theredengineapologist]

Anyone else think it's kinda messed up that Skiff the Sailboat can't breath water?

Like. Dude is a BOAT. You would think that maybe because he's supposed to always be in the water he shouldn't be struggling to breathe all the time. Yet every time his face goes under he's always coughing and spluttering.

Like, why would they make a boat. That usually goes in the water. That can't breathe underwater? That just feels like needless struggling to me.

Anyway, just me? Ok.

[queenlucythevaliant]

5, 9 and 20 for War and Peace?

I am so glad to get one of these for W&P! Thanks!

5: do you have a favorite character? Who?

I was always going to love Natasha. I tend to gravitatie toward those characters who appreciate beauty more deeply than those around them, and that's Natasha to a T. It was the moon in the window scene with her and Sonya that really made me go, "Oh ok, she's one of My Girls now." Love her to death. I think Natasha and Lucy Pevensie would be really good friends.

Would also like to give a shoutout to my man Platon Karataev though! He's probably my favorite of the supporting cast. I love his faith, his optimism, his whole relationship with Pierre, and although his ending just broke my heart, I love that his impact is felt all the way to the end of the story. Would totally love to be his friend. I adore the prayer he says every night (I think I've posted about it on this blog before: "Lord, lay me down like a stone and raise me up like new bread.") I also really love the little detail that he loves to sing but kinda sucks at it.

9: give the most UNHELPFUL and/or SILLY summary possible

W&P defies summary to the extent that any attempts are kind of inherently funny. So:

The Napoleonic Wars happen. Various Russians go to war, contemplate existence, fall in love, find God, cheat on each other, romanticize the past, die, get married, and gaze at the sky. There are two epilogues, and you can skip the second one.

20: What's the WORST thing about this story, in your opinion?

It drives me nuts that Natasha gives up music after marrying Pierre. Really and truly it does. Also, someone besides Natasha please appreciate Sonya challenge!

How to Make Armor Stats Work for YOU in Lightfall

If you are a new, returning or just really confused player this guide is for you!  Destiny has made a lot of changes to the armor/stat systems and my previous guide (which a number of you are still faving) is horrifically out of date.  What hasn't changed is Bungie doing a poor job explaining things to new players. So let this tumblr guide (yes tumblr your number one source of video game theory crafting) help you better understand this system.

Sats, what do they do and how do they work?

Destiny has 6 armor stats that can be divided into 2 categories lets call them class stats and ability stats.

Before we get into what you should be prioritizing there are some important things we need to go over.

First Important Thing The game only cares about increases of 10. For example there will be no improvement from increasing a stat from 30 to 38 but there is for raising it to 40.  Any stats over 100 are ignored and offer no additional benefit.

Second Important Thing Class stats do not have diminishing returns and actually see an improvement at higher levels. Ability stats start getting diminishing returns after 70.

Third Important Thing The first armor mod slot is for stat mods. Here's a screen shot I put text over because this guide didn’t have enough pictures.

___________________________________________________________

PVE Stats

As of the writing of this guide the number one stat that everyone should be prioritizing regardless of class, subclass, and build is Resilience. You wanna know how that rank whatever absolute Chad of a guardian is blowing through your strike/battle ground and not dying while you are getting shredded? They have 100 resilience. With 100 resilience YOU could be that guardian.

OK what about all the other stats? The advice I give here is going VERY generalized and not build specific so keep that in mind.

Hunters Hunters are in a weird spot. The class is designed around using your dodge and would indicate you want to stack mobility. But mobility, as it stands, has less utility outside of the doge cool down than recovery and resilience. So ultimately it comes down to a matter of play style. If you are a hunter that uses your dodge a lot get at lest 80 mobility. If you are a hunter that does not play around their dodge then aim for 80 recovery.  

Warlocks If you can get 100 recovery to go with your 100 resilience great!  This is something worth aspiring to but for those of you just starting out aim for 80 Recovery.  Rift is powerful, you want it as often as possible and the increased health re-gen is useful even when you aren't using your rift. The only time I care about mobility on a warlock is for jumping puzzles. Particularly the ones that require you to jump high. Cus.. sigh... warlock jump is a cruel mistress some times (personal experience but 50 mobility is all you need to get past most puzzles). You can use mods to temporary boost your mobility so ideally your armor should have as little mobility on it as possible.

Titans Resilience is your class stat congrats!  High fives all around! (Or fist punches I don't know what you guys do I'm a warlock main.)   Recovery is a great stat that works both in pve and pvp. If you want to get the most out recovery get at lest 80.  100 recovery is great but don't stress if you can't make it work.  Mobility actively makes some Titian abilities/exotics worst. Avoid this stat unless you having issues with a jumping puzzle.

So about those Ability stats........ As this is a generalized guide an not a super specific build guide I'm going to recommend prioritizing Discipline over Strength and Intelligence. Grenades are just too good right now. Aim for at lest 70. After that it’s kind of up to you and your play style as to if you want to stack intelligence or strength.

___________________________________________________________

PvP Stats

Full disclosure, I'm a pve main and I suck at pvp. I am however friends with a few rather good pvp players so much of this information comes from them.

If you are terrible at pvp (like me) then this is your stat priority:

100 Resilience

80 Class Stat/Recovery  

80 Discipline.

This allows your good pvp friends to use you as “bait” without getting one shot.

If you are good at pvp specifically if you have good enough positioning that you avoid getting hit often resilience becomes less useful. Titans still should go for 100 resilience as it is their class stat, non titans are good at 30 and instead should stack both recovery and discipline/their class stat.  

Intelligence is far more useful in pvp than pve. It really shines in game modes like Trials of Osiris as passive re-gen is going to be how you get the majority of your super charge making it more useful than strength. ___________________________________________________________

How Stat Distribution Works

This is an entry level guide and I don't want to have to break out spreadsheets so I'm going to tell you some things that are not entirely true to keep it simple. Class and ability stats have separate stat pools and to get double 100's in class stats you will need to use armor mods and stat boosting subclass fragments.

Please enjoy this Actinium War Rig I own which is one several exotics that breaks the rules and shits over damn near everything I just said.

___________________________________________________________

How to Get the Good Armor

This where I tell you how to farm up your high stat perfectly allocated armor. And when I figure out how to do that I'll let you know. Until then you can go to your ghost shell and slot a stat mod in the 3rd slot. This will guarantee that whatever armor that drops with random rolls will have at lest 10 of that stat.  Do note that this will be canceled out by any other effects influencing armor stats if they are in the same stat pool (unless stated otherwise). So if you are doing an activity that rewards high Strength armor and you have a Resilience mod in your ghost you are fine. But if you had a Discipline mod in they would cancel each other out.

All right you've got your ghost modded in and you are ready to start farming them high stat armor pieces. What you want to look for is activities that have Tier 2 or above powerful and pinnacles as rewards.  Dungeons, Raids, Iron Banner and Trials also reward high stat gear. In addition to those look for any engram focusing that specifically says it rewards high stat armor.  It's important to take a moment to note that Bungie considers anything  55+ to be “high stat” (which is bullshit) the community (and myself) consider 60+ to be “high stat”. So keep your expectations measured.   

___________________________________________________________

What to Masterwork and What to Delete

I like itemized lists so get ready for some bullet points:

Master working armor not only opens up all the energy slots but also gives you +2 for each stat (even class items).

The first thing you should master work is a class item.

Ability stats are in a different stat pool than class stats so you should ideally be able to reach your desired target using little to no mods. This frees you up to use those mods for class stats.

Some sub class fragments can raise and lower your stats.

Just because something has a lot of stats doesn't mean it has the stats you want.  

While more stats does not always equal better stats do not bother master working any armor below 60 stats. Trust me when I say you will get something better.

When deciding what to masterwork I find it's best to plan around an exotic armor piece and subclass you want to use. Exotic armor is kind of a pain to farm for so it's best to build around it. Now you can absolutely sit down sort through your vault and do the basic math necessary to determine what you want to masterwork.... OR you could let D2Armorpicker.com do all that for you.

Just link your Destiny account (don't worry this is secure) and enter in the stats you want, what exotic armor you are using and your subclass. It will search your inventory and give you all the possible armor combinations that achieve that. For best results scroll down to advance settings and check assume all legendary exotic and class items are masterworked.  If you see any pieces of armor that come up frequently when look at different builds those are the ones you probably want to focus on masterworking first. Depending on what the stats look like on the exotics you are using there is a good chance you will need several master worked items in each armor slot to consistently hit your desired stat targets.

___________________________________________________________

What About that Artifice Armor I've Been Hearing so Much About?

Artifice armor has an extra mod slot which can be used to increase any stat of your choosing for +3 at no additional energy cost. Which is insanely useful. Now before you get excited know that at the time of this guide Artifice armor ONLY drops from master dungeons. This is not an entry level activity nor is it solo friendly. Before you decide to attempt a master dungeon have a solid set of armor ready to go and clear the dungeon on normal mode at least once.

Hey look another bullet point list!

There are currently 3 dungeons that have a master version in the game: Grasp of Avarice, Duality and Spire of the Watcher

Shattered Throne, Prophecy and Pit of Heresy do not have master versions.

There will be a new dungeon added in season 21 (Season of the Deep) and another one added in season 23. They will have master versions.

The last boss in a master dungeon has a chance to drop high stat armor in every slot.

The newest dungeon can be farmed (you can run it multiple times and still get drops)

Older dungeons will only drop gear once per character per week. UNLESS it is the featured dungeon. Featured dungeons can be farmed and change weekly on a set rotation.

___________________________________________________________

Closing Thoughts

I made this guide because I enjoy playing Destiny 2 and I want others to enjoy it as well.  Being frustrated because you don't understand game systems is not enjoyable. Hopefully this guide helps you murder hobo your way through the enemies of humanity a bit better than before.  

That all said I really want to stress, particularly to new players, that you don’t need a perfect set of armor (artifice or otherwise) to play this game. Getting that perfect set (or as the case may be multiple sets) of armor is something worth aspiring to not something worth stressing out about.

I use glaives because they are fun, the meta be damned!

If you have any questions or corrections feel free to ask! There was a mountain of additional info that I wanted to include but this guide was already too damn long.

[ 𝚔𝚎𝚒 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚎𝚒𝚔𝚘'𝚜 𝚝𝟹 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 ]

i totally did not forget to post this interrogation. totally

Q.01. "What do you think about Guard 001?"

Kei: I love him. That's all.

Eiko: He has the power to change this world.

Q.02. "What kind of relationship did you have with your victim(s)?"

Kei: We weren't that close.

Eiko: Do I really have to repeat myself?

Q.03. "Do you think you deserved your Trial 2 verdict?"

Kei: Please answer this question for me, Eiji.

Eiko: I think there's more to this place than just trials and verdicts.

Q.04. "Do you have any close friends?"

Kei: I'd like to believe Reina can be counted as one.

Eiko: I don't really need them.

Q.05. "What do you think about the guilty prisoners' punishment?"

Kei: I don't know if I should be scared of Hinode or I should find what he does hot, but it's the second option for me.

Eiko: It really wasn't the best punishment for a certain someone who already suffers from bad memory.

Q.06. "Are you in any physical pain at the moment?"

Kei: Let's just say I taught Eiji well. I'm getting better though.

Eiko: Not really.

Q.07. "Do you think it's better to love and lose or never love at all?"

Kei: Never loving anyone at all sounds kinda boring. Losing someone and missing them can be counted as love too, you know? Woah, I just said something smart!

Eiko: I don't think I was ever truly loved anyway. It would be nice if I never fell in love as well.

Q.08. "What did you have as your phone wallpaper?"

Kei: I used to change it like every day, so I don't really remember. Sadly, I could never set a picture of Ruka as my wallpaper..

Eiko: A picture of me and Takeru that I've made in some kind of dress-up game.

Q.09. "What would you like to say to your parents if you could see them right now?"

Kei: I'd just say hi to them and hug them, like a normal son.

Eiko: "Why did you do this?"

Q.10. "What do you think about Guard 003?"

Kei: It's a shame he will be participating in only one trial.. I'm sure we could become much closer if we had more time.

Eiko: He's cute. I want to know what's going on in that brain of his.

Q.11. "Do you understand why you got your Trial 2 verdict?"

Kei: You really don't have to feel bad for me, Eiji. Your older brother is getting embarrassed now.

Eiko: I guess I've crossed the line or something. 

Q.12. "What do you think will be shown in your video this time?"

Kei: I just hope it won't show me as someone who's too much of a coward. Even though I am one.

Eiko: I don't know, Takeru's dead body, maybe?

Q.13. "How would you describe your relationship with Prisoner 003 at the moment?"

Kei: I guess we're even now.

Eiko: He's useful. I'm starting to feel sorry for him, to be honest.

Q.14. "What do you think about Milgram overall?"

Kei: Eiji, don't you think our dad would've loved this place? Like it would inspire him so much..

Eiko: It's a scary place, but the scariest part about it is not the punishments and verdicts, but the fact that nobody here knows why it exists. 

Q.15. "Are you ready for your final verdict?"

Kei: I will accept your decision, Eiji.

Eiko: Don't disappoint me and give me the perfect verdict, Eiji.

[anxiously-sidequesting]

It's crazy (positive) when you (me) have more sympathy for villains/reformed villains like Morganthe, Malistaire, and Grandfather Spider respectively, than individuals like Ambrose or Gretta Bitchkettle

[bismuthburnsblue]

sooo. im thinking a bit about what cosplay im gonna make next, and i think ive narrowed it down to a couple options, but i want you to have all the options!

other options on the list include: Sailor Neptune (school uniform) - Sailor Moon (i think ive got a group for this!), Janet - The Good Place, Loki - Avengers Academy (the one i started last year), or Female Stede - Our Flag Means Death. a lot of these projects i have some level of plan for & wanna do some day, i just have stronger opinions on Kyoko/Toph. but if any of those sound more interesting to you! i am down. i wouldnt list options i didnt want

Kyoko is a costume that i have been planning for SO long, and finally feel like my skills are somewhere where ill be able to do her justice. i have a lot of the materials for this costume, including the wig, and even have a pattern plan for the main part of the garment. HOWEVER. my main material is velvet. and none of my other materials are any nicer to work with. i want to make the boots from scratch, i want to learn new wig making techniques, i want to make the spear to its full potential. this is going to be a big, complicated, time consuming project, and ill probably put it down at least once for my own mental wellness. its a dream costume of mine and i want to do it justice. its going to be a challenge, super technical and precise, but i think itll be worth it. its also going to be less comfortable, corset & velvet are not... the best con combo (also its a shorter skirt than i usually like, so ill be emotionally uncomfortable)

(also the more i think about it the more im... eh about the colour of my main velvet so um. might end up rebuying that)

Toph on the other hand, i have none of the materials for. i do have a source idea for the cream fabrics but nothing else at all. my design plan is sorta NATLA inspired- still the animated Toph costume, just drawing on the fabric and textures the netflix show used (especially with the Kyoshi warriors), which means some Sourcing will have to be done to find fabrics with the right weight & drape for my plans. this style of looser patterning is also new to me, not to mention pants.... though i think Toph would be a good project to avenge myself there honestly.

in general, this is gonna be a much easier make, and a nice comfy costume for cons, but at the same time, its a lot of expense out the gate, fabric shopping i dont neeeeed to do, and definitely still has some areas that test my skills (wig in Particular). i havent put as much time and energy into thinking about this build, but it has been on my list for some time and i wont regret making it.

(pictures of the others i mentioned. obviously no picture for my stede design but i was thinking of drawing inspo from the historical dresses in the show- some of marys, and evelyns, and the crowd scenes- and obviously stede himself, and then also reference real history. i dont own anything suitable for this time period so the first project would be stays i suspect!)
