Ace Tries Mending Fences page 58-62 FINALE!!!

Ace and Buttercup friendship ACHIEVED!!!

(I should point out this is purely friendship/ him being an older brother figure same for the other gangreens with the other powerpuffs. THESE ARE NOT SHIPS!!!! Ace is still 12 years older than her he is about 24 in this and buttercup is 12. I do not want to see anyone saying I made this to start shipping them I will even have a story down the line that acknowledges it looks like Ace is dating a middle schooler when reality they are just hanging out.) sorry I just wanted to get that out there.

no more fan-ta-sizing about it! everything's already changed~

[so-very-small]

imagine having to return to dating people your height after having a rough breakup with a giant or tiny. like.

your lover hugs you, their head on your shoulder, and it’s nice - but it isn’t the feeling of giant fingers around you, a huge hand compressing your entire form against a giant chest. when your lover laughs, it’s quiet, not a booming noise that shakes your entire body. you can lay on top of them, but it’ll never be the same as curling your entire body into the crook of a giant’s neck.

on the other side, the massive change of having a lover who isn’t a tiny. you can’t put them in your pocket on rough days. you have to cook more food instead of setting aside tiny bites of the best bits. you hold your lovers hand, but it’ll never ever replicate the feeling of an entire person in your palm.

how do you go back to normal after losing a love like that?

Whenever I see those 'miraculous out of context' compilations it's so funny bc it's really just like. Clips of the characters being really blunt and socially unaware, like interrupting or not realizing what they're saying is random and unrelated. Like god they're all just fucking autistic.

They seriously might as well change the name to 'miraculous autism moment compilation' or something like wtf

Is it your Tav/Durge or does another character feel like they're actually leading the group? If so which one? Not counting playing as origin characters. Feel free to elaborate in the replies/tags (I will read them).

Have I, on my sixth reread of aftg, just realised exy is hurling with lacrosse gear and slightly modified rules on possession and contact?

Thinking about Orchid and her connection to my take on Gender (because this was meant to be about her and the Crew but it just devolved into a character analysis kinda??? More trauma-dumping maybe???) This is very much an oc/personal rant so feel free to ignore it 🫡

So, Orchid started off as a character I didn't really think much of (hear me out this is going to be relevant) because I wanted to add a 'girl' character but didn't know what to *do* with her, y'know? She was always going to be the strongest one there, she had the odds stacked in her favor with her parents. She was always going to be the gloomy side-character to match Reset's energy. But I think she's gone through every stage of Generic Woman I could possibly find.

At first she was angry and abrasive (think Fell!Sans) where every other word was a curse and she was likely to throw the first punch then laugh as she kicks her enemy while they're down. This was when Reset was a cartoonishly self-centered villain whose goal was simply to prove others wrong. Then Orchid became a sort of sisterly figure. This was short-lived, but she was the one comforting people who Reset would torment, but would ultimately follow his orders, because at this point he was actually a danger and sadistic. And then there was the phase where the story mellowed out and she became the token Goth Girl who, yes she was strong, but was heavy on the 'whatever' energy. Then there was her Era of deep self-loathing and anxiety about her worth that held her back and made her a much more timid and meek character who would only lash out on occasion.

Now, Orchid is the best of those iterations I've written yet. She's calm, level-headed, and a natural leader. Her father raised those traits into her. But she's very reactive, and can be silly, and when she's comfortable it's likely that air of importance transforms into something more comfortable and familiar. She laughs loudly and grins wide, she likes loud video-games but loves to read in the quiet. She's extremely disciplined, and normally no one can get through her tough exterior besides her best friend, Reset. She does what she does for her own enjoyment, sure, but she's thought of every angle and makes her choice to help Reset and control the others with her whole chest. She still worries she won't live up to her invisible expectations, and that and her loyalty are her two driving forces.

I know that Orchid is important to me because she's the longest-running female oc I've had. I have a rough relationship with womanhood/girlhood and I know looking back that Orchid recieved every ounce of my distaste for being a woman that I could shovel into her. That never made her less of a character, she was actually always one of my favorites, and rarely was she a 'punching bag oc'. I just... projected onto her a lot. And she's a good sign of how I've learned who I am. I've decided that my own femininity is something I could live without. I'd rather not associate myself with it, and I'd like to leave it in my past, focusing on a future where I'm not tied down with any gender roles or expectations. That won't happen, but I've come to terms with it myself. Orchid though? I figured out through her that I don't have to hate women characters. My own distaste for my circumstances doesn't mean I have to push it onto my characters (on God I've never expressed anything rude to actual people, that'd be rude as hell and uncalled for, but I have a bad habit of disliking fictional women in media). So, Orchid is a well-roubded character finally. She has motivations abd goals and a *lot* more depth than I ever expected her to. She's happy with being a woman, she's content. She's not treated differently for it in unfair ways by those she cares about, so she doesn't mind it. She likes to wear pretty outfits and lets Reset add bows to her ribbons. She doesn't let being a woman hold her back in the slightest.

So, yeah. Orchid is one of my babies. If I ever leave this Fandom behind for good, she's one that's coming with (Ichor, Orchid, and Pretender all have human designs I can use elsewhere lol-) but in the meantime I'll just rotate her around in my brain for a while longer.

If I'm right, she's been with me for nearly 5-6 years and I went through a *lot* with her as an outlet. So, she's kinda just like an old stuffed animal. A lil ripped, matted fur, maybe a stain or two, but there's a story there and that makes it important beyond belief.

[girl-named-matty]

making a new main character for a book you actually wanna write is so scary because what if I focus on them more than my actual MC like.😔

I managed to get all 3 new weapons, they're a lot more fun than I thought they'd be. The throwing knives return to you on reload and do guaranteed red crits, and it can be a little hard to angle it right but even without that they deal very good damage. The bow doesn't say it anywhere in the description but fully charged shots explode and it's not as powerful as the knives but it's still not bad either. The scythe on heavy attack instantly makes all status effects on an enemy deal their damage immediately, and I thought it would jsut be kinda gimmicky (especially since I've found most recent melees kinda underwhelming) but it's pretty powerful and obviously pairs well with the new mod that increases status damage. And aside from that all three weapons provide squad wide buffs which is nice
