#she just doesnt have it in her XDDD

[thesundowncrew]

Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe...

For a ghoul who used to have trouble sleeping, Samhain had long mastered the methods and exercises to help him calm his mind enough to fall asleep. It was like meditating but letting go at the very end and letting oneself fall... fall... fall...

He had to keep reminding himself not to get caught up in the illusion. Not to trust whatever the creature showed him. Remember, Sam. It's just a dream. It's just a dream... a dream...

Remember the music box spirit, trapped. All alone with nothing but her thoughts and remnants of what used to be. Don't get caught up in the illusion, Sam. Don't get trapped... Don't fall... Don't... fall...

“Sammy!”

The forest air was crisp and sweet, carrying the smell of pine and earth and wildflowers. The sun was shining but it wasn't too hot, and the grass felt warm between his toes. His fingers curled, gripping bits of grass and soil in between them. He remembered this feeling... He remembered this voice...

As if he'd just woken up from a dream (Was he dreaming? He couldn't remember..) Sam's eyes fluttered open and he gave a great yawn (He must've been asleep for a while if he was yawning like that. How long had it been since he had such a nap on a day as perfect as this?)

“Sammy!”

He heard her again, this time as clear as a bell, though his eyes and head still felt heavy. It was when she got closer that Sam felt like a wave of cold water wash over his entire being, stirring himself up from his very core. Her hair. Her eyes. Her smile. Just as he remembers it...

“I heard it this time!”

Suddenly a pang of guilt stabbed him straight through his chest (But why? What was he guilty of? What had he done wrong?)

“The oldest tree! I heard it speaking.”

He grabbed at his chest. It was hurting. He couldn't breathe (This is wrong wrong wrong wrong Something's wrong...!!)

“Sammy..?”

He snaps his head towards her voice, Liore suddenly just inches away from him. Her wavy locks that always seem to fall in all the right places. Her eyes that glowed like ambers in the sunlight... “Sammy, you all right..?”

(Eyes...)

He studied her for a minute, eyes wide and unmoving. He reached out and cupped her face, with hands of flesh and skin. His thumb gently caressed her cheek, now flushed a rosy pink, and he could feel her breathe on his palm. He brushed the hair away from her eyes, earning a confused flutter of giggles from her. “Sammy, what's the matter with you?”

(Nothing. Nothing's the matter)

"Nothing. Nothing's the matter," he replied, as if on cue. Finally he smiled and Liore smiled in return, looking relieved.

Finally she tucked her hair behind her ear and offered Samhain her hand. “Wanna listen with me?”

"Sure."

-------------------

Back in Sundown, Nightshade felt restless. The moment Samhain bid her goodnight, she felt the hair on her neck stand on end.

Though the circumstances of their 'bonding' was not ideal, there were some upsides to having shared spirit essence with one another. Not only were they connected on a physical level but on an emotional and spiritual level as well. Whatever Samhain felt, Nightshade could feel it to a certain degree. And with her feline sixth senses doubling down, Nightshade could feel it now; something was definitely wrong.

"Ah fudgeknuckles..!"

“His name…? It started… with an L, I think... or maybe… a C? I don’t know… I can’t remember…”

These memories fragmented and slipped beyond her reach. The shadowy silhouettes on the stage grew fainter. Dust drifted from the curtains.

With a shiver, the spirit folded her legs to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. Weariness crept in again. Samhain spoke, but his words flitted away from her; and when a soft weight settled over her shoulders, she couldn’t quite process where it came from. The sensation seemed far away. Still, the girl pulled the blanket closer around herself on instinct, seeking any warmth and comfort it could offer.

“My mother… must be so worried…” Tears slipped down her cheeks. Heavy regret coiled in her chest where her heart once beat. The spirit leaned her forehead on her knees, her words shaky and broken. “I left her all alone… I didn’t even say goodbye…”

She didn’t notice when Samhain left. His presence had already faded from her awareness.

—

Feldmire waited outside Samhain’s door.

It had eavesdropped on the conversation at the dinner table. It heard Samhain reveal he wasn’t quite human. Moreover, it heard Maude advise Samhain to leave soon. It would scold her for this later, but for now, it had bigger concerns. Tonight was likely its last chance to ensure Samhain never left.

But how could it reach him? It ruffled its feathers as it wracked its mind for ideas, its talons scratching the wooden floor impatiently. It couldn’t squeeze its way inside. The barrier shielding his room—

— the barrier dropped.

Feld hopped backward, shocked for a moment. Then thrill washed over it. It crept closer and tapped the door with its talon, just to make sure. Yes, the barrier was gone. Gone. Feld’s eagerness and hunger kept it from questioning the reason the barrier fell. It only cared that its absence meant Feld could enter.

What marvelous timing. Feld could barely contain its excitement. Regaining its wits, it forced itself to wait a little longer. It pressed against the door. Listened as Samhain’s breathing evened into the slow, steady rhythm of sleep. Then, silent as a shadow, it slithered inside, onto his bed, and sank into his mind.

How to create a dream?

It was simple, really, with enough practice (and Feld had years upon years of practice). The trick lay in letting the dreamer’s mind do most of the work. Feld simply nudged their focus toward memories laced with the delicious feeling of longing. These memories formed the main ingredients for the dream. Once the dream had formed, Feld tugged it into the perfect shape and sprinkled in other details and memories for extra flavor, like a chef preparing a lovely meal.

A meal for itself, that is.

The creature made sure the meal lasted long enough to satisfy its hunger. Of course, it was always hungry, so it never let the dreamer wake up. Simple.

This required control over their sleeping mind. After diving into Samhain’s dreams twice already, Feld brimmed with confidence in its abilities.

It couldn’t resist having a bit of fun.

—

A forest.

Sunlight flickered overhead, and birdsong drifted between the branches. A red-furred squirrel darted up a tree trunk. A breeze rustled the leaves and carried the rich smell of moss and soil.

“Sammy!”

A girl bounded toward Samhain, leaping over stones and roots with deer-like ease. Her long black hair flew out behind her. She beamed upon reaching him, her words already tumbling out. “I heard it this time! The oldest tree! I heard it speaking.” Her voice, though a bit breathless from running, rang with excitement, and her brown eyes glimmered with delight.

With another warm smile, she tucked her hair behind her ear and offered Samhain her hand — a familiar hand, dirt-smudged but free from burns. A hand just as human as his own. “Wanna listen with me?”

Royal AU

heavy sigh LISTEN, this brainrot has taken over me so hard that I physically cant even make anything shiny au related(dragon!Price one) so pLEASE, lemme show u what this au is all about:

an attempt at the emblem has been made, and honestly? im not gonna do any more of this bcuz god i suck at designs HAHAHSKDJHSAD

some lore if you're interested:

so Raven is adopted by Vik, who was the previous Royal Guard for Price's dad, and because Vik doesnt have any son, he makes Raven to grow up as one

The general story is like this, Vik was also part of a society, Cobra who wanted to throw the kingdom into chaos, and so they plot a plan to assassinate Prince!Price, because they think another prince is more fitting to be the next king, however this ended up in an unfortunate turn of event where Vik killed the king instead of Prince!Price, so Price had to ascend the throne pretty early on

In other words, Vik also had other intention when he specifically trains Raven to be the next royal guard, since he wants Raven to get close to Price for her to kill him -> and this fact is disguised as a fact that "oh hey Raven you need to be a guy to continue this "FaMiLY tRaDitIoN"

okay, dialing back a lil, let's talk about the relationship between Price and Raven for a sec, they're childhood friends as mentioned.

Basically, young Prince!Price who likes to sneak out and hang out with the royal guard's "son", Raven, in secret of course

they often like to hang out in one of the sealed off room in the palace, to which they managed to find a way to enter it of course, so lets call this the "childhood room"

expanding on the lore, when they both grow up they start hanging out lesser due to their respective roles and duties. Keep in mind, all these time Price thought Raven was a dude, until "event" happened of course

so what's this "event" you ask?

basically, around the time when Price was announced to be the next heir to the throne, he decided to take a break from his work and visit the childhood room, it has always been a safe haven for him. Just before he wants to leave though, an injured and soon to be Royal Guard Raven stumbles into the room(she cant go to the infirmary in risk of being exposed), with one hand around her abdomen area

Price decided to stay quiet and observe, he hasnt seen "him" in such a long time afterall, and thats when he saw Raven wearing a binder underneath all the armour as she wrapped a bandage around her abdomen, which reveals her gender after all this time

so technically, Price knows Raven's true identity since early on, but never commented on it, but it definitely does throw him off for...several reasons :]

anyways....idk how else to expand this but i do have a general idea, maybe something about Vik forcing Raven to kill Price in one of the events, but she retaliates instead, and as a result she tries to off herself since she has been lying to Price the entire time, insert angst and more angst, then idk timeskip to Price finding out Raven's real real identity ((because keep in mind, Raven's adopted, not blood related to Vik)) is a forgotten Princess or sum, and then they get married and live happily ever after((LET ME BE DELULU))

but yeeeeeeeeeee XDDD thats about it

[slashingdisneypasta]

I've seen videos of pet rabbits stomping when they don't get their way, and the owner is just laughing and arguing right back with them XD and I have two things on this.

1. Has Ghost stomped at any of you guys yet? What did you do to anger the poor little angel? XD

2. I'm making it canon that Poppy stomps her foot when she gets angry/huffy. Especially if she can't even say a word she's so mad... Greasy is the one most often on the receiving end of her oh so terrifying stomp, next to Smartass, but I'm certain the other weasels have witnessed it too XD

Poppy: >:(

Smartass: =_= *unsure whether to roll his eyes or laugh at Poppy's fluffy angry face* How mad are 'ya toots?

Poppy: *wordlessly stomps her foot once*

Smartass: Is that so?

Poppy: *stomps twice*

Smartass: Well I'm sorry you feel that way. *looks back down at newspaper*

Poppy: *frustrated rabbit noises*

1. Yes, she has XD Not me that I've noticed, but I asked my brother and sister. She does it when she doesnt get the run of the house XD We like to let her run around in the livingroom/kitchen but we close the door so she doesn't go sprinting off and we lose her under someone's bed- and apparently, when someone closes the livingroom door so she can't escape, she gets all huffy and stomps XD (ma'am cool your jets, the kitchen is the best place to be anyway 😅 XD )

2. OMG YES XDDD Thats so so cute!!! XDDD

'Is that so?' 'Well I'm sorry you feel that way' SMARTASS!! XDD I wanna see the others reacting to this!!

You think that Greasy cops it the most?? I'm just picturing this happening when he's coming onto someone not-interested at a bar or something when he was supposed to be hanging with her. And she's just silently stomping, while Greasy is either b a r e l y paying attention like "sí, sí, sí, Poppy, I know, whatever, go pee, I'll be waiting right here when you're finished with your private business." before immediately returning his attention towards his prey- or he gives her such a look, just a complete, condescension-drenched kind of a look, and goes "Can we help you??"

[vivisols]

oh I loved the new TADC episode, I wish Zooble was in it more though, honestly

It’s nice to meet another Zooble enjoyer, they’re a funky character and their deadpan attitude is fun

I saw you also have a character for TADC! What a cutie, may I ask what their personality is? And pronouns ofc

Oh and what role do they play in the circus?

How do the other characters interact with them?

Oh and they’re shipped with Zooble right? How’d the relationship start?

Is Ezirp an NPC or a human also trapped, if so how long have they been there? How do they feel about the circus?

Are they a cat as well? Looks like a little water cat which is so fun!

How do they feel about Caine?

Can I perhaps, eat them? Just like their inspiration, they feel so edible

Oh and one more question! Explosion.Jpeg?

Heheh got youuuu >:3

YEAHHHHH I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!!! SUCH A FUN RIDE!!!! no matter how many times I watch it IT DOESNT FEEL LIKE 25 MINUTES XDDD

AND ALSO I AGREE!!!!! MORE ZOOBLE!!!! thankfully episode 3 is apparently gonna be SUPERRR zooble focused... I HAVE HOPE AND FAITH!!!! HANG IN THERE ZOOBLE FANS!!! WE WILL SURVIVE!!!!!!!!!

BUT YEAHHHH im such a BIG zooble fan!!! LIKE! trust me anon when i saw them in the episode i SCREAMED. SCREECHED EVEN.... the people who i was on call with can confirm i was LITERALLY fucking feral LMAOOOO

ANY WAYS! ERZIP QUESTION ANSWERING TIME !!!!! YIPPEE!!

erzip uses she/her! she's another human in the circus and she got there a few months before zooble did. she doesnt mind the circus but she definitely wishes that she could explore more and that some things would change :3c

personality wise, erzip is typically pretty nice! she's somewhat adventurous, as she loves to discover new things, though she prefers to do it all on her own. even so, she is sociable by nature and almost always loves talking to others when she can! like she's 100% a chatterbox and will go on long rambles about whatever random fact she had just remembered at the moment when prompted... erzip also likes saying absolutely wild things out of the blue for fun, usually in the form of threats LMAO

hmmm... circus role wise, erzip be an acrobat! and group wise, she's definitely the friend who always wanders off and has to be dragged away from whatever thing she'd gotten invested in since she went missing. you go through one crowd and you lose her because she went to go look in some random shop window halfway across the street xD

the other characters interacting with her.... asjkadfhdsjdh I HAVE THOUGHTS...

erzip and jax? mutual hatred. they both despise each other. though it is WAY more serious on erzips end xD she would gladly fight him any day of the week (and she has indeed done so in the past LMAO)

erzip didnt mind caine at first, but eventually he had gotten on her nerves. she now chooses to avoid him if possible. she just wants to go off and explore! why must he keep popping up!! >:P

pomni is on... less than ideal terms with erzip. theres just something about pomni that erzip doesnt like. pomni tries to be cordial, but still typically tries to avoid her and as a result, the two aren't really the closest.

ragatha is more of an acquaintance than anything. she's nice, but erzip fully believes that she can handle herself and doesnt turn to ragatha for much. they just respect each other. its not tense or awkward or anything and they often have pleasant conversations, its just that they aren't as close as they could be.

erzip and kinger get along pretty well! theyre definitely decent friends! erzip thinks hes neat (even if he keeps pulling on her keychain)

gangle and erzip are pretty close! they interact a lot and are pretty good friends! they have a lot of shared interests and can usually be found hanging out together and talking about them! (:3

and zooble... well they interact pretty positively most of the time! they both like talking to each other a lot! nd they mostly just go off on their own to hang out together hehe!!!

their relationship was a very slow and gradual thing xDD it took a bit for the both of them to become friends, but once they did they quickly got pretty close. though it was a suuuuuper long time before they both actually opened up and revealed how they felt. it was honestly super out of the blue! erzip hadn't been planning on saying anything at first, but the confession just slipped out and here they are xD even so, its still an incredibly down-low thing.... mainly because there hasn't been a convenient time to bring it up and they don't really care about the rest of them knowing. so the others are unaware, though they're certainly suspicious that they may be in a relationship now xD

and yeah erzip a cat!!! since she's based on water filled computer mice i decided a cat would be fitting as like... a twist on the idea xD

AKJSADFHASKJDF you can certainly try to eat her! ....though your mouth would probably be full of plastic shards and chemicals as a result xD

ALSO AAA!!!!! EXPLOSION.JPEG!!!! NOOO!!!!!!!! IVE BEEN GOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! o_O

[neutrallyobsessed]

So if you're not a fan of Klema and Skyemadhi, who do you think would be an ideal match for Ema?

Uff idk m8 😭 cause other than Klav or Nahyu i pretty much like all Ema/Men ships...

I like her with Apollo since there is some flirting between them during the games, plus he's Klavier's opponent and very red, as she prefers them~ but it can be pretty tame for my tastes and Ive been completely taken over by Aurapollo lol (im makin some stuff bout them btw👀)

Shipping her with other rivals of Klav like Kristoph or Daryan is pretty neat

Shipping her with other detectives like Gumshoe or Fullbright* is pretty neat

Shipping her with other scientists like Crab or Nichody is pretty neat

Simon, Phoenix, Sebastian, fucking Clay Terran lmao, all great options!

Even with Edgeworth, i just think she has a bitter rivalry with Kay that Ema loses cause green is suffering (but look who keeps appearing in new games!)

Hmm on that note, i have my Yanderema idea, where she's the one who got rid of all of Miles potential partners so she can be his girlfriend but he's still not interested and keeps shipping her with (mainly) Nahyuta xddd

*The real one, The Phantom just doesnt have feelings in general yknow?

[henriiiii-1001old]

can you talk abt the alt swap au :3 ?

ooooohohoho alt swap au </////3

here's my first post talking abt it just for reference :3

most of this that im gonna talk abt is from discord and it just gonna be a bunch of different stuff so cut me some slack xddd

and this is. a lot more than i thought so uuhhh enjoy another masterpost??? kinda??? CFVGBHNJ

"cain can travel through tvs and mabel can travel through mirrors, but cain cant travel through mirrors and mabel cant travel through tvs (at least on their own).

seth can travel through both, but they didnt know that until uh. until adam told him"

"i have an idea to how the end of vol 1 in this au would go so cain has been locked in his room for 3 days by this point, and basically the "uh oh, bad decision!" part would turn into more of a "cain killed abel" situation. the alt outside cain's door would mock cain and fake his sister's death to maybe make him succumb to M.A.D. finally, and it almost worked.

until mabel came in and dragged cain out of the house...

...based in the message i replied to," (which are the lil blurbs i pasted above lmao), "i think that when mabel was trying to help cain escape, she realized she also just trapped herself in cain’s room. but then cain realized somehow that he can travel through tvs. he took mabel’s hand, took them to trust him, and they went through. they end up in the static world and theyre like “tf is this” they do end up getting out though, and after they figure out where they were, they go back to mandela, grab seth, and fucking leave

also here's some toonbriel lore! bc hell yeah he deserves to be in this au B)))

"and he actually takes the place of dave in the au. i originally didnt have a technical spot for him and decided that putting toonbriel there would be cool.

his name is terry o'brien but he goes by "toony" around family bc he was super obsessed with cartoons when he was younger, whether it be on tv, comic books, etc

he's a pastor at st. gabriel's and is lt gabe's younger twin brother and theyve been two peas in a pod since they were super young. they did end up fighting on their different methods of trying to help the county, and terry argues that while gabe is literally doing nothing, terry has been giving people hope and shelter and food and so many things. this ends up causing them to split, and terry goes to dave for advice. turns out, dave has been using him as his prophet and ends up killing him because he's no longer of use to dave.

im still working out the details of how he helped dave tho, but gabe is devastated after losing terry. he was already stressed enough and was basically blamed for sgt maria's death (she's preacher who took ruth's place) back at the murray house, and losing one of the only things he lived for was heartbreaking. finding seth dealing with the horrors^tm helped a little bit bc he's actually helping someone he tried protecting in the past...

...im thinking gabe was the more protective one of the two as well as the more sociable twin. terry was super clingy and liked sticking around gabe bc he was the only person he knew.

not a childhood story, but i do imagine that gabe does know dave, and they probably met through terry! not sure abt how terry and dave met just yet, but gabe doesnt actually like dave all that much.

gabe immediately knew who to suspect when terry died, and the fact that he heard his voice after said death only made him more sure"

some lilith and seth lore

"lilith and seth were both troubled kids in school and they just. fought so much. and lilith had to deal with shitbag dave at mandelatech and was even forced to stay working for him once he revealed to her and he led the alternates. she has a LOT of pent up anger and just needs to get it out.

like i imagine that one time after seth found out he was an alt, he called lilith over for a fight, and she'd been itching for one since dave killed terry. she literally beat him to a pulp during that fight, but she stopped once she saw him look up at her. he looked hopeless and his eyes looked somewhat glazed over. he took slow, deep breaths even after he got the wind knocked out of him several times.

lilith new something was wrong. she ended up helping him recover and even asked what was wrong. he didnt really reveal the whole alt thing, but he mentioned having holes in his identity and how its been beating him up, especially since someone claiming to be his father wants to suddenly come (back) into his life.

since then, theyve worked towards trying to support each other and just trying to maybe be friends {:)"

ALSO I CANT BELIEVE IVE NEVER MENTIONED THIS!!!!!

yknow how in unholy gift sarah and tiffany are kinda rivals?? like tiffany likes to fuck w sarah bc she's bored? and she's usually v snarky and cocky?

lilith and eve are the exact same way except tat eve is like GENUINELY malicious and very manipulative. she takes advantage of lilith's dislike of mandelatech to make her do a bunch of shit for the alts, and it's asically a big old scheme to use lilith to advance the alts' plans.

i also think that thatcher is the one who told davis to go back and get seth. davis did go to cain and mabel first though, and they were VERY rightfully pissed. but they did eventually get seth and shit. seth was super avoidant of everyone after the whole thing though {:(

[partnersincrimesuau]

I feel like I really wanna get this off my chest. Look, I don’t hate Connie as a character. She’s perfectly fine and nice enough and I’m perfectly fine with Conniverse as a ship even if I REALLY don’t agree that it’s the best and ONLY true ship for Steven like everyone says it is and that Connie is Steven’s one true soulmate like everyone makes her out to be. With all that being said, I can’t help but feel like Connie became a HUGE Mary Sue ever since late season 2 of Steven Universe.

Okay, since this is gonna be a LOOOONG one, I'm gonna answer them all separately on the same post XDD Also I would advise you not to read this post if you're a Connie fan. There's no outright hate towards her (okay maybe a little bit...) but there sure ain't any love towards her either. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, remember!!! No hate to other users in the comments, please!!!

I agree with you on some people calling it the "only true ship for Steven"... people who say this about any franchise are people with no imagination XDDD (like, okay, I know that there are some characters from some franchises that I ship ONLY with one other character, but that doesn't mean it's the ONLY valid ship!!!) And also, YES. At first I was reluctant to answer this entire ask series, but I AGREE WITH YOU. Here we go, guys... welcome to the "Connie Is A Mary Sue Ask Series"!!!

2. Yes, a lot more good points! Now that you mention it, I have noticed that she is often "the right one" and is always very mature in what she says. And yeah, she's only a human teenager with a few what, weeks? months? (months at MOST) of experience with swordfighting... and is suddenly considered an expert? It's got me thinking - WHY did the writers make Connie a swordfighter? I mean yeah, it adds flavour to the story... but it still is a very Mary Sue kind of thing.

3. ARRGHHHH I KNOW!!! This is why those few episodes are some of my LEAST favourite episodes in the show - Connie just??? blames him??? She blames him for doing a righteous thing to save his friend, a friend who later gets killed in front of Steven, who is A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD, WHO IS STRANDED ON AN ALIEN PLANET BEING HUNTED BY KILLER ALIENS AND ROBOTS - and when he comes back she's like "We could have done that together wahhh" LIKE BRO!!! HE WAS LITERALLY TRYING TO PROTECT YOU!!!!! AJHDISDISHDI (sorry, I went off there. Carry on.)

4. (Sorry, i couldnt find a part 4 in my inbox...? either a tumblr glitch or a typo... it doesnt matter either way tho, im sure the rest of the ask series works without it ^^) OOOOOHHOHOHOHO ANOTHER GOOD THING TO MENTION!!! SHE NEVER APOLOGISES!!! Legit, Connie does this crappy thing and ruins Steven's life for a couple of weeks and then NEVER apologises about it. Does she have ANY idea how much of his PTSD was caused by her? I bet she doesn't. (Also just gonna quickly mention that Spinel did one crappy thing in one day and then immediately apologised for it, claiming that she knows it caused a lot of damage to their relationship from the beginning. Call me crazy, but I absolutely believe that what Connie did to Steven was WORSE than what Spinel did (specifically TO Steven tho - I mean, Connie didn't try to destroy a planet XDDD)

5. A thing I often say to friends and fans is that Connie was a good character before Season 4, and only before Season 4. "The New Crystal Gems" is a fun episode, and I love watching it, but I cannot STAND Connie at the end of it. Suddenly, Connie is the "mature adult" who orders around the "superpowered children"!!! And YES, i know, Lapis and Peridot were very childish in that episode - but tell me, why do you think they acted that way in that SPECIFIC episode? just to make Connie even more of a Mary Sue? Yep. Anon, you're on to something. (ALSO I KNOW, Lion!! how could you?! You're disrespecting the good name of your voice actor TnT)

6. THE LIST GOES ON, ANON!!! IT GOES ON!!!!!!! (Also ITS TRUE, the protagonist's girlfriend is the "only character who can talk to them"!!!! Writers, come on. The only time this trope works is in How To Train Your Dragon. It doesn't work in Steven Universe.)

7. I think you've basically cemented my dislike for Connie x Steven now. He deserves SO much better than her. And its true, she is "so perfect!!!" Maybe the writers should have paid more attention to Jamie's play. Maybe then they would have realised that Connie has no struggles by Season 5 and 6 and just dissolved into a very unlovable character. (Also can I just say, the first ask from this anon started with "I don't hate Connie, and I'm fine with Connverse..." and then escalated to this XDDD This is iconic, thank you so much)

8. YUP. YUP, YUP, YUP. SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW LARS DIED IN STEVEN'S ARMS WHILE HE WAS GONE, AND WE NEVER SEE HER FIND OUT??? If she KNEW, if she KNEW what he went through... gosh damn. Maybe she WOULD have been a better character in Season 5 if Steven just broke down crying about his trauma from that adventure in front of her, and she would have realised how much of an a**hole she had been about it. "Steven you left me behind and gave up to the enemy when you promised we'd be together forever!" "Connie, if I had taken you, you would have been killed. Lars didn't even make it out alive. I gave up to protect you! If I didn't, we wouldn't have been together ever again! But look, I'm back! I'm safe!" "Oh... I'm sorry. You're right." HEY CARTOON NETWORK CAN I BE A WRITER FOR-

And yeah, I think that's the last ask in this series. Thank you, my dear anon, for allowing me to sublimate all my hatred towards Connie in a post like this XDD And I'm sorry for anyone who actually decided to read all this. I hope that maybe some people will now see why I really dislike Connverse, and how in my opinion, it's ten times more toxic than Stevinel ever could be!!!

But of course, remember that everyone has different opinions. You are completely entitled to like Connie as a character, and I have nothing against that. Don't let my opinions override yours!! Love who you want and don't let anyone change that!!!

Thanks Anon, you clearly put a lot of thought in this ^^ I feel like I've just collaborated on a huge project with you, somehow?? XDDD (and i'M SO SORRY THIS IS SUCH A LATE RESPONSE!!!! All of these asks were from mid January - I'm the worst I know)

[whyoneartheven]

oh my gosh XDDDD

Ok like

this does not surprise me somehow?? I don’t know your mom but this feels like what my mom would probably pick if she watched tbb XDDD

FIRST of all however. EXCUSE ME but Hunter is my favorite character as well and I simple cannot have his leadership challenged?!?!?!? (I jest; he does make a LOT of mistakes and watching him struggle to be a good leader is so interesting! I wish they’d actually addressed it. He’s really trying but it seems that what happened with Crosshair shook his confidence up badly. He’s both afraid to be challenged and afraid to lose anyone else, and the fear present in an otherwise very courageous character was really fascinating)

WRECKER MY BELOVED. A good choice! I personally feel like Wrecker belongs in his own category of just. Being the best and sweetest guy ever. Because I can never decide between him and any of the other characters XD

Crosshair!!!! My guy!! Probably the best and most interesting part of the show most of the time, and therefore very understandable lol

NALA SE. ok tbh I am not surprised!!! She has this protective almost motherly love for Omega which conflicts with the self preservation the Kaminoans are so known for, and it’s very interesting! she is really hated for what she did to Fives, but if you don’t know that about her she can even be likeable I suppose. Either way she is interesting though!!!

ok ngl Emerie IS unexpected and I have little to say about it… she is interesting but she only had one season to develop soooo

OK. Ok. As far as Tech and Echo go… I have trouble connecting with their characters myself (don’t kill me pleaseeee), so it’s understandable! They are really beloved (in fact it’s the fandom surrounding Tech that made me have trouble liking him XD) but it felt like the writers tried and failed to depart from their archetypes. They didn’t give Tech enough time, and Echo needed flaws… they really should have addressed Fives’ death in the show; it would have done loads for Echo’s character development.

SHE DOESNT LIKE OMEGA????? WHAT??? Omega is one of my favorite child Star Wars characters noooooooo XDDDD

ok!!! Now my true nature is revealed and I will probably be burnt at the stake for my opinions on tech and echo so imma go barricade my house lol

alright, in all seriousness though, I both love the Bad Batch and can’t get past my criticisms of it sometimes… I feel like they really needed a fourth season. I love it nevertheless, tho!

ALSO

I realize now that I do not know who your favorite tbb character is???? Pray tell?

@margindoodles2407 @whyoneartheven I bring to you my mother's favored characters on the Bad Batch

1. Hunter - the FIRST name she gives me, says he's good at making the right decisions and at leading (the right decisions?? Mom, are we watching the same show???)

2. Wrecker - the FIRST character she gave a justification for, and she isn't someone who tries to justify herself usually so make of that what you will. Says he's very childish and strong and likeable.

3. Crosshair - she likes the villain, antagonistic aspect of him, likes how there's something more to him than what you first see

4. Nala Se - says she's kind, talks about how she was selfless in trying to help Omega escape instead of using her to gain a position in the Empire, how she tried to help Emerie out by hinting at helping the children in the vault (O.O gosh Mom, you like the most controversial character out there??)

5. Emerie - likes how balanced she is, how she keeps herself on neutral ground instead of choosing sides

I asked her about Tech and Echo and she said there wasn't much that stood out to her about them and they seemed pretty normal.

She said she didn't care much for my girl Omega either *cries*

My notes:

Okay, so Hunter coming out first didn't surprise me much, but it also did. That man has HALF HIS FACE tattooed, and my family is pretty conservative, and my mom doesn't think too highly about tattoos in general. I didn't think too highly of tattoos in general myself until I met the clones, so now I'm neutral to them.

But the right decisions??? Sure, Hunter's making the only choice available - which is usually sub-optimal and pretty unimpressive from a moral standpoint - in most of the episodes, but that doesn't make them right. Echo points this out when he decides to strip the downed Venator on Bracca in order to get out of the debt they owe Cid.

He probably has to make hard decisions a lot of the time, and the Batch trust his intuit on this, but Echo's a more recent joinee so, of course he, who's moral compass is steady as stone, is going to question Hunter.

Omega questions Hunter too when Hera contacts them and he refuses to help Hera. Also when he treats Hera pretty callously after scouting the area and deciding it's too dangerous, and Omega is understandably fuming when Hunter gives Hera a stern no.

I did NOT see Wrecker coming second. That was SO UNEXPECTED honestly, like a sucker punch to the gut.

Crosshair, okay, to be expected, partly because he's impressive as a character and partly because the show sets him up in such a manner over the three seasons so the audience ends up liking him. Do note that the latter fact does not make one stupid for falling for the trick of liking him, because he's such a complicated and wonderful character in his own right.

Nala Se. NALA KRIFFING SE. Whatever I felt for when she said Wrecker, this was TEN TIMES as bad. In Mum's defense, she watched only tbb along with us, and also not consistently. Also, I do remember her mentioning out loud when we first watched Aftermath how Nala Se jammed the hangar doors and let the Batch escape, so yeah, I think she likes this one.

Emerie was pretty unexpected, and I don't have much to say about her unfortunately, but that neutrality is something I didn't notice until recently.

Tech and Echo as NORMAL??? Mom how???

Omega poor lass ;-;

Bonus:

I'm pretty sure my dad likes the Batch too (especially cuz he loves war films and films about soldiers and action and such) and while he does play the part of indifferent-and-slightly-bored-about-this-show-my-crazy-kids-are-watching, there have been moments where he stops and watches along with us.

Getting his opinion on it, however, is harder than impossible. You'll sooner get the world to turn inside out.

He watched the finale, and I wish to GOD I knew what he thought of it :/

[miraclecherryblossomsblog]

Tw: mentions of death, war, murder, child abuse, slavery, lil blood think thats all but anything i missed feel free to tell me

Note: not very knowledgeable with the witcher fandom but i tried to investagate what i could, but even so ill probsbly get stuff wrong so my apologies here. Also good with writting so sorry if it sounds shitty XD

POV: u found out whose been stealing ur food

Ana from Nilfgaardian: Backstory

Ana's life was filled by nothing but human's torment and survival. She only 3 years old when she was found with her mother's corpse and letter saying that whoever finded her to please took care of her. Samuel one of the prisioners in the group took the child as his own, felt pity to let it die in the middle of the forest like her mother.

And so for the next 3 years Ana would grew up being taught the best way to stay alive is to stay quiet and obey. Ana's only family was a grop of criminals but they loved her and took care of her as their own. But even so, child or no the guards wouldnt care less, once you become a prisioner you're treated like one...

They knew she wouldn't last long in this hell of a place....

When the heard the rumors of a witcher close to these walls, they decided to help her to escape, witchers protected people so if she could find the witcher she could find protection.

She met the group later on, they found her eating their food behind the bushes, she tried to run off and they were gonna let her go if she hadn't fainted duo to exhaustion. The decided to take her in until they could find someone who could take care of her. (Spoilers that day hasnt come 😃)

(They gotted clothes for her cuz c'mon she was barefoot the poor thing :/)

Interactions with the group:

Avdol: He was the first one who she got the closets with his calm aura made her trust him, he likes to read her and share stories of their past hunts, he also tends to spoonfeed her a lot. Litteraly calls him mama XD (doesnt really mind, he thinks its cute)

Kakyion: The quiet duo. They mostly enjoy eachothers company, likes to play with his hair and observe him and avdol when they making potions (she sometimes gets handsy but backs off when told to)

Polnareff: she like his music, she sometimes ask him to sing her to sleep (specialy after having a nightmare) he like to tease her sometimes (which ends up her biting him lol) also because she so quiet she tends to scare him off HAHA

Alex & Yanyu: She loves them :3. Very affectionate with them and likes to sleep on Yanyu's lap. Although Alex gets a lil nosy sometimes so she just cover her ears to let her know shes being too loud (i feel like she tends to raise her voice without meaning to like me xddd)

Jotaro: Another one whose she's very affectionate with. Was scared of him at first but she gets very attached to him later on. Calls him papa (says he doesnt like it but he actually MELTS at the name) stays close to him the most and likes to put flowers in his hair. Loves being carried by him 💕

Ana: Da-ddy?

Jotaro: Do I look like-

Ana: :(

Jotaro:..........Fine

Ana: Papa! :D

He's like those dads that didnt want the dog at first, but treats them like their kid the next day lol

Joseph: He babies her the most and likes to tell her stories of his old adventures, he tells him about holly sometimes (mostly when jota isnt close) uses her as shirld whenever he pisses jota cuz he knows how soft he's become on ana (jota denise it but we all know how it is 🙄)

Overall they all love her very much and will fight anyone who hurts the child

Note: Witcher jjba au belongs to the wonderful @ahoge-fish pls go and check it out on their blog! Cuz its thanks to them im just as hooked as i am to this fandom now ksksksksks

[skelemira]

hello bestie i am requesting some fluffy platonic headcanons for what the Sweet Cap'n Cakes gang gets up to in their spare time pls !<3333 if that doesnt work out thats fine!!! 💖💖💖

Oh bestie you have no idea man my friends and I have an entire SERVER dedicated to our sonas as the SCC and everything about them you have asked the right gal

Fluffy Platonic SCC hcs here we come:

Based on an earlier Tumblr post I saw they love to do raves, K_K will work super hard to give them all really cool glow in the dark makeup and bake some glow in the dark cakes and cookies (there's edible glow in the dark food colouring and stuff I looked it up)

Yeah along that line K_K bakes like a frick ton, gets really good at decorating cookies, makes cookies of the SCC members like all the time

Sweet falls asleep like anywhere and anytime, they just like doze off randomly. K_K and Cap'n make sure that Sweet stays on the turntables as much as possible when they're out bc then they'll faceplant into the turntables instead of the ground (which still isn't great but it's preferable)

Sweet also really loves rhythm games like DDR and stuff like that.

Sweet and Cap'n have a playful rivalry (usually more like banter between friends than any true rivalry)

Sweet does patrols around Cyber World, they like to have a bird's eye view of things, it makes them breathe a bit easier, plus they can watch Cap'n and K_K to make sure they're safe.

Sweet loves taking Cap'n and K_K for joyrides on the turntables, especially to go to carnivals and watch fireworks and (since Cap'n and K_K have an insatiable sweet (heh sweet) tooth, they get cotton candy and watch the fireworks all together).

They're all pretty serious about the rebellion, but Sweet has a bit of a mischievous side about it.

Cap'n kind of blurts things out at random times without thinking sometimes, sometimes it has good results, sometimes maybe not but they're all meant with good intentions. (Usually~)

Gonna quote my beloved Saph here bc she worded it much better than I can lol: "The nickname Cap’n is totally an inside joke. They don’t consider themself the actual “leader,” but they joke about it a lot. Sweets and K_K probably (playfully) agree that it’s because they’re bossy, not because they’re leader material. All in good fun ofc."

Cap'n is absolutely hopeless in being flirted with. Flirting with someone else? Got it no problem. BEING flirted with????? Ahaaaaaaa flustered Cap'n~

Again gonna quote Saph bc man I cannot rephrase this lol it is perfect: "Probably considers himself a bit of a business tycoon. No-one can resist the extra seedy CD bagels, so why not sell em $400 a pop? It’s genius! Shame K_K misunderstood them xDDD"

Aaaaaand one more time lol: "Probably just likes vibing and seeing his friends happy tbh. He strikes me as the type to go above and beyond to see them happy"

So K_K gives piggyback rides to Sweet and Cap'n all the time (when Sweet falls asleep K_K puts them in a baby carrier bought specifically for this purpose)

And final one!!! K_K would do anything to see Sweet and Cap'n happy, even if it means being a little goofier than normal or working a bit harder to really perfect their likenesses on those cookies.

Thank you so much for requesting hon!!!!

With that I'm about to go to bed btw so I won't be very fast at responding to requests if y'all still want them, but feel free to keep sending them in, or just send an ask to say hi!

ALSO omg how did I almost forget for the Sweet hcs I wanna thank Lemon my beloved (she doesn't have a tumblr but her art insta is @lemon_lucid if you would like to go follow!) And for the Cap'n hcs I wanna thank @saphirathedragon my beloved wifeyyyyyy srsly I love both of their hcs for the SCC and imma end it there cuz man I'm tired XDDDD

[armedwithapencilandpaper]

hxh or my hero academia for the blorbo post??

YES THANK YOU KATRINA @katsintriis :DDDD

for my hero academia:

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

you know. Everyone knows. Aoyama my beloved <3

it should be also be known that im not even hyperfixating on my hero in general. i am here for one thing and one thing only (okay that last part isnt ENTIRELY true, lmao)

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

this ones kinda weird cus this isnt how id define a scrunkly... but If we’re talking cuteness, it’s Eri for sure! Tsu might qualify for this position too, im not sure :thinking: (tho as far as LOOKS go, when i think scrunkly i think of… a damp cat. I think the person who gets closest in that department is shinsou, lmao) or, OH! actually monoma might be pretty scrunkly. i think monoma is my final answer.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

this one and glup shitto are so hard cus most obscure characters are ALSO underrated… I think ill say Kodai Yui for this one! Yui doesnt rlly have a canon personality, but one of my rp friends played her for a long time, and i love his yui so she gets to go here <3 (OH also Magne cus she deserved better, sob)

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

YANAGI REIKO i rp as her and i love her <3 (i did many threads between reiko and yui, v cute friendship) reikos a weird little ghost girl. She has little to no canon personality aside from being a huge horror/scary story nerd whose vocabulary consists of spooky-sounding, sometimes archaic words XD (now that i think about it shes a lil scrunkly-looking- ANYWAY,)

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

omg tokoyami and tamaki. Neither of them are problematic or even unpopular but they,,,, theyre both such poor little meow meows XDDD

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

hawks. I think. Id maybe say mineta but tbh hes so small and also a child id feel kinda bad tbh. Hawks, however… fuckin. Annoying asshole LMAO.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

endeavor, of course. I dont rlly dislike him as a CHARACTER, at least not for the most part- so far i think its interesting how his different kids react to his attempts at redemption. as for me tho i dont give a shit if hes sorry, its superhell for him KSDJFHKDSJHF

OH ALSO HORIKOSHI HIMSELF FUCK YOU BRO

for hxh:

disclaimer that i havent watched hxh in quite a while, so my knowledge is pretty surface-level 😔

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

augh can i answer gon AND killua as a unit for this one??? their dynamic rlly lives rent free in my head. its just,,,,, chefs kiss, excellent. i could talk about it for hours but i will spare you. you already know all of it, i dont need to explain it to you XD

(i also love kurapika so so much but i feel like he doesnt super fit any of these categories, so he gets an honorable mention here eheheh)

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

OKAY ACTUALLY, leorio is EXTREMELY scrunkly-looking. but in the case of what this one is ACTUALLY ASKING, ill agree with you, kat- gon!!! hes such a sweetheart, just a baby, i love him so dearly. hes such a great character i would probably jump off a cliff if he told me to

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

fjhksjfh kat i know you said you dont think of her as underappreciated but my knowledge is so surface-level im going with melody... after i saw her in the anime for the first time i just could not stop thinking about her. i made a custom design in animal crossing based off her clothes. my beloved i care her so much

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

i think... ponzu or pokkle??? like i said its been a very long time since i last watched it so i could be totally wrong, but i think i remember liking at least one of them (and i know theyre not ALL that obscure but yknow kjdhkjhf)

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

gonna copy you again and say killua. im sure hes widely liked but like. he fits the type in one way, and youre right about the killing people thing, LMAO. but yeah fr hes just a sad little kid and he needs a hug and some hot chocolate or something

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

i was gonna say hisoka but hed probably like it. so ill say anyone from killuas family (alluka excluded ofc)

i know they practice being ready for torture all the time but like. theres all sorts of ways to torment people. and besides, even the zoldyks must have their limits

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

hisoka. (and an honorable mention to chrollo)

[vivisols]

Annnnyyyyways the reason I’m on Anya was because I was going to ask you to draw the two Anyas together, but i realized i forgot Alwards last name so i had to go find that

Forgetting all that, can you draw Anya and Anya playing jenga together?

And is Alward just a human version of Aardwolf?

And who did they marry??

Does Alward share the “sona” title that Aardwolf has? Or is it something different?

In the case alward is a sona, does that mean you have a self insert… in a self insert story? You double up self inserts? >:3c (im being silly)

Oh and whats a to z?

Thats… a lot more questions than i intended, oopsieeeesssss >xp sorry, hope you liked them at least :p

one Anya is enjoying jenga and the other one is fighting for her life. you'll never know which is which xD

anya alward married equinox alward! (yes HE took HER last name IDCCC) aka one of my old ocs that i wanted to revive xD

and anya alward is indeed a human version of anya aardwolf!!! tho human anya isn't technically a sona, since anya alward isn't actually the same anya i use as a sona! for narrative reasons.

getting into ALL of that would require me getting into z to a too, so this ask is actually kinda perfect xDDD

the anya lore gets WILD so prepare yourself xP

basically, z to a is my main dca x self insert oc story thingie! the suuuuper barebones summary of it is that Z#### (aka one of my sonas), who was an employee at the pizzaplex, died and possessed the endoskeleton being programmed for the newest pizzaplex animatronic, anya aardwolf!

but because of some bits of code already being within the endo, Z#### ended up losing most of her memories in the overwrite. not all, but most! she knows that she was a human but barely anything beyond that, as she only has a few snippets of her memories intact. as a result, she just embraced the whole "anya aardwolf" role she had to play. she's "anya" now, though not really....

i think this chart explains it better??? xD

sooo yeah! the anya aardwolf that i use as my sona (aka anya z. aardwolf) is actually Z#### through a whole bunch of technicalities!

and since anya alward was never Z####, she's not anya z., therefore not a sona! just a human AU version of the in-universe character anya aardwolf!

basically!

anya alward = anya aardwolf (JUST the character) anya alward ≠ anya z. aardwolf (the anya i use as my sona)

in order to make this whole thing a tiny biiiit easier... look out for the ear notch!!! z. anya/sona anya has it, while just character anya doesnt!!! along with pupils! z. anya has pupils, but just character anya doesnt have any :3

so yeah, in a way anya alward is anya aardwolf. but theres too many narrative complications for her to be anya z., my sona, so she isn't a sona! if that makes sense.... xD

....somehow i feel like i explained this in a much more convoluted and confusing way than i needed to xP

[gemsofthegalaxy]

TBH............. Bridgerton is one of those curious shows where I find very few of the characters are remotely likeable lmaoooo. So, negativity below, because I’m just ranting about what i disliked about each character!!! 

(despite all this i actually very much enjoyed the show, jsyk) 

Eloise is one of the most likable characters for me, but even she is shown to be very self-centered. she hardly ever listened to others because she was too busy ranting about her own woes (of course, the lack of agency given to women does in fact suck and she’s right to speak up about that. still. she is extremely one-track minded and never pays attention to other’s problems). Also. LET HER BE A LESBIAN, I’M BEGGING YOU (along with her gay/bi brother Benedict, more on that below) 

I actually do like Daphne a lot for the most part. I liked her sense of duty and responsibility, her kind and nurturing nature, and that she is not that snobbish. and honestly i don’t blame her for wanting children and I DO blame Simon for his original transgression of kissing her while she was alone in the garden when he knows damn well he’s risking her entire fucking reputation because he just ~burns~ for her, like please. keep it in your pants.  

it’s still incredibly fucked up that she violated his consent. it sort of, idk, taints their whole relationship after that point? they really should have written that conflict differently so as to not involve rape. that goes without saying in all honesty... at the same time, important to call attention to. 

but that aside, at the end of the day... i found it odd that their characters are fundamentally incompatible without Simon changing his tune about children, which is, eehh? And, yeah, it’s sort of a stupid he doesn’t want kids just to spite his father but he WAS traumatized and, idk- i feel like people who don’t want kids generally shouldnt be made to have them or “change their minds”. But, one of them had to change and it wasn’t gonna be Daphne sooo..... whatever. 

moving along. boy howdy, Anthony was quite selfish and unlikeable. i don’t even know how to elaborate. i liked Siena enough but it was annoying watching him jerk her around and flip flop between taking care of his family, and taking care of her, which rendered him nearly useless to both (to be fair, i feel like that’s the Point- it’s just like. his Developmental Arc. but it makes him into a shit person for the first while LOL) 

I liked Penelope at first because she seemed gentle and compassionate, but turned out she’s super fucked up like. like. girl. also all that over a boy who doesnt even like you? uuugghhh. but at the same time, i fucking love Nicola and she gets points for being not stick thin, which is just refreshing to see?? (next challenge: cast plus size women in roles that arent like, the wallflower who nobody notices or somethiing, thaaaaaaaaaks.......)  

Now Marina, I actually liked a lot, she’s one of my favourites. Still, she was stubborn and often completely uninterested in truly considering what she might need to do to secure a good life for herself (like, she was great with the plot with Colin and the tea, but after that she just gave up and refused other solutions while offering NO NEW DIRECTION herself. like what were her plans? she seemed smart but only when things would be convenient for her which. sigh. I hope Philip treats her right, she seriously deserves good things). I was worried they were going to villianize her more (and I guess some people think that she was villianized w the Colin plot but idk i was rooting for her to get him and elope XDDD) which wasn’t/isn’t the cutest look given she’s the only black girl of the Young Cast..... like, I’m really glad they made her complex and I personally thought she was compelling and one of the better characters but she could have had a bit more agency and a better outlook within the narrative soo.. hmmmmmmm.

Benedict has potential, but he needed to be gayer ngl. his plotline with the seamstress was uncompelling AF because he’s just following in the steps of Anthony, yawn. if he was having a gay struggle or something that would at least make it fucking interesting???  He trule had way more tension with the Gay Artist anyway (i am glad Artist has a beau tho, that was so sweet!). idk honestly, he was just so boring once he got with the seamstress. disappointing. 

oh... I do have 1 character with zero complaints!!The Prince of Prussia was delightful. He was kind, gentle, and understanding. I miss him tbh 

anyway, moving on to more general stuff about the show, despite the fact i wasn’t rooting for most characters one way or the others, i had a grand old time!!!! I don’t LIKE non-con, esp when it’s not treated with delicacy, and the way it was handled really does cheapen and taint both the relationship AND daphne’s character, BUT.... i’m personally not gonna throw away the whole show, or the relationship because of it. ugh, i’m just gonna sort of compartmentalize that so i can save my own headaches. 

and, honestly, for the moment I’m enjoying seeking out other’s takes! it’s fun seeing everyone’s reactions, positive and critical! i’m glad we mostly agree Benedict should have been/is gay lmao and otherwise its fun to see what other people took from it. 

that being said, I don’t see myself remaining in this “fandom” long, though,  because it just doesn’t have the makings of a fixation for me... simply not enough gay relationships to get attached to,, because i am admittedly one of those queer fangirls that needs a compelling relationship to sink my teeth into and rn none of them are quite cutting it oops ^^; 

[crystu-cii]

Y E AH LIKE HELLO I NEED TO BREATH E

XDD YESSS-- YEAH FOR FREE-- we weren't even gonna GET a pet in japan but they found a post about her and were like "...okay fine" and she is so sweet 💕💞❤️💖💞💕💞 oms XDD mood-- oh so what you're saying is you should get a dog with the same color hair as you so you can't tell the difference?

Wellllll what are we supposed to do? Just move it to our dms? gestures vaguely to the length of theses posts You think discord can handle this?? It couldn't even handle me rambling about the cores with it's cowardly 2k character limit! /lh

aawhhh 😭💞💞💕💞💞

and PFTT that would be a lot more chaotic XDD literally right after i vaccum my floor in my room there many strands back on the floor anyway- gosh i have no clue whats up with my hair ;0;; and yeahh- my friend who used to be my neighbor had birds and they would ALWAYS make sound and im like "oh man-" xDD and the BIRDS WERENT EVEN FRIENDLY like- i was there when they first got the birds arrived to them and i was expecting the birbs to be nice but they legit repel from human contact- whenever i would stick my finger in the cage they would hang on the the opposite side of the cage xD so far i imagine they just let them live and dont interact with them at all- doesnt really sound fun to be honest ;w;;

and OOOO MAN that sounds so awesome :0 ooO i should also say how my dinner went yesterday, since it was kinda our belated thanksgiving- we got take out from a chinese restaurant! might sound a little sad that we didnt cook anything- but take out is a very common thing in our family xD and i FINALLY GOT MY CHEESECAKE I DESIRED YAAAAASSSS- and my bro also got cookies! (they were from a high quality place as well) and one of the flavors was pumpkin pie (the cookie even looked like a pie!) and i was happy cause that shall replace the actual pumpkin pie i also wanted xD and it was GOOD??

I thought that was a seperate game :OO and oHHH that sounds cool! and BAHHA- fACTSSS xDD and omggg i feel that- i would always search up random things of a fandom and see if they exist or not XDD IM SO GLAD A "TRANS RIGHTS" GLADOS EXISTS XDD i also actually do have a Portal instagram folder where i save portal related posts- OKAY AT THE MOMENT I AM WRITING THIS SENTENCE i looked back wt the folder (its the last one out of all my folders because i havent saved any posts in it for a LONG time) and there arent many posts as there are with my other franchise folders- BUT LITERALLY (ALMOST) ALL THE POSTS ARE WHEATLEY AND IM LIKE PFPFNTKAHFIANJD there were also some chell x human!wheatley there because the way people drew those two were in a very cute art style so i liked it- i hope me liking the ship doesnt sound too weird though- xD ;w;; bUt THATS my experience of being in the portal fandom(?) XDD

and oh yeaH YOURE RIGHT- i keep forgetting that discord has a character limit but at the same time it always gets me- whenever im trying to show my friends a fanfic i wrote discord is all like "IMMA STOP YOU RIGHT THERE" and its shitty- my friends dont even comment on my fanfics anyway- xDD
