them: what are you thinking about?

me: nothing

my brain: do you ever just sit there and wonder how differently things would have panned out if maven had attached himself to cal instead of mare? if the key to his humanity was his brother and him only? do you ever think that maybe maven would know he wasn’t and couldn’t be good but he would try to be anyways so he could be close to cal (because the crux of it all was that he didn’t want to be alone)? or do you think maven would’ve ended up destroying the both of them because he knows no other way (and cal wouldn’t leave maven to destroy himself on his own)? do you ever think about how cal would’ve been the only person ever to let him stay close? do you ever think about how the entire fucking story would have changed because maven’s character would have been different since he’s a warped mirror of everything he loves (a small list)?

#when i was first coloring him in he was gonna be golden chinchilla colored but then i was like ehhh jonah magnus should be red/orange but #elias should be gray ...so i just desaturated what i already did instead of recoloring lol but #he is now supposed to be shaded silver lol #but thats why his coat pattern is on the darker side compared to what it *should* be #og elias bouchard coming from an important/roch family and while whole thing with thinking he just *deserves* stuff bc of his upbringing.#etc. -> he is purebred and matches the breed standards etc for a scottish fold of his color #obviously the eye color doesn't matter because. ahaha #i thought elias fit the Scottish fold vibes because: Scottish folds are known for looking sort of like owls and having intense eyes #and the cat body/face type (also present in british shorthairs) to me gives off sort of... unnasumming vibes?#like ahaha yes i am a boring boss who loves paperwork look at how unnasumming i am season 1-2 elias y'know #trying to think of what cat breed jonah would be. and also jon gerry etc you know all the other characters i like #would it be boring to have multiple british shorthairs #i mean..#Michael shelley/distortion is a laperm that's all I know #i didn't particularly care with the personality attributes associated with eliascat because it didn't need to fit his personality on account #of not being his original body. but i do try to keep in mind the best personality/look/etc. cat attributes as a whole for a character #also sometimes get obsessed with jt making historical and geographical sense but then it just limits me greatly to a point im not into it #so i don't care about specific breeds in that respect lol #tma #my art #elias bouchard #the magnus archives #some notes looking back(made it 2 hours ago but still looking back ok..) on it now are that i feel like elias would never choose this breed #for his next bodyhop because of the inherent health issues in scottish folds. I saw the breed was created in like the early 1960s and #assumed that maybe the health issues wouldn't have been common knowledge until later enough for jonah to be unaware of them but actually no #there's legislation about it like 6 years later LOL so jonah would..maybe not make this choice #i guess in the future when drawing i will just make him a British shorthair #my catTMA is simultaneously 'they are just regular cats or like all show cats or something' and 'exact tma plot but as intelligent cats'#LOL its just vague in my mind idk..also maybe jon can be an Abyssinian #ALSO WHAT WAS I THINKING 'jonah may not have been aware about x thing' like did i...did i forget. me 2 hours ago was dumb as rocks

(Kyleigh's POV)

The holiday season at my parents place is always my favourite time of the year, I like to think the kids agree too. We packed up our RV and trailer and travelled to Brindleton Bay to spend the holidays with my parents. We're actually going to be here well into the new year, we being the kids and I, Barrett headed home soon after new years eve to head back into work. The work being done on our house is due to start once the snow has melted, and we're praying work can be done quickly so that we're not away for too long. The kids haven't spent an extended period of time away from home, but they're enjoying the time they get to be at their grandma and grandpa's house. Every winter they always enjoy playing in the snow, making snow angels and having snowball fights. This year Barrett and the older boys were able to catch great fish that are sure to keep us fed over the next few weeks.

Being that we'll be here for an extended period of time, I brought almost a months worth of shelf stable groceries with us in the trailer so that my parents' grocery bill isn't overwhelmed by all of us being here. Thankfully they have access to local farms and farmers markets where its easy to get fresh fruits and vegetables, so we go and get those as and when we need them. For Christmas we had a crown roast as the main star of the show, with loads of different sides to keep everyone full.

My parents really go enjoy having us all live with them during the holiday season, and since we're here for an extended period of time they've gone and rented a house to fit all of us. Initially we were going to split the kids up where the older ones sleep in my old bedroom, and the younger ones are in cribs/pack'n'plays in my parents room and with us in the RV. They really want to soak up this extra time they get with their grandkids and don't mind the extra work, my dad can create his own schedule so they're both excited to be hands on these next few weeks while I parent alone. Our contractors have done all the paperwork and pulled all permits necessary, all we need is good weather.

K so, Semblances are connected to Aura which is a manifestation of the soul yeah?

In Before the Dawn, the father of the villains confirms that one of twin's semblance was active in the womb throughout a good portion of the pregnancy

Meaning, in Remnant, fetuses have souls. Wonder how legal abortions are

Edit: just remembered Pyrrha had to unlock Jaune's Aura in V1, so does that mean someone cracked open a fetus's Aura inside the womb? Was Gillian strong enough as a cluster of cells to unlock it herself?? Wtf is this origin story???

#rwde #I don't think myers wrote this w the angle of prolife propaganda but hoo boy did he not think this plot through #(tho idk his politics so he could have subconsciously done it. this is the doctor who moon abortion episode all over again)#btd sucked so bad but what keeps snagging in my brain is that the whole thing that kicked off the twins monarchy scheme -#- the crown birthmark born to one every generation - was apparently burned into gillian???#and its NEVER FOLLOWED UP ON #like kudos to FUCKING COCO OF ALL PEOPLE for commenting on her enemy being BRANDED but why is it just the one comment???#idk who I'd go for first: the father or the brother. who's ego is inflated enough to justify burning their own kin?#and why even do it? i dont think myers would write jax and gill to follow the royal tradition of bloodline purity-#-so they couldnt rule together right? why even bother marking her if the crown would always go to jax?#and why cant a single rwby villain have a scheme that makes sense to some degree?#jax wanting remnant to get a little bit genghis khan is so fucking stupid and baseless. where is the logic behind it?#the best villains either do heinous shit for shits and giggles or they genuinely do have a point but came to the wrong conclusion #thats why tyrian and watts are the only decent villains post v3. theyre both in it for themselves and unapologetic abt it #jax and gill are just annoying. go join a fight club and leave vacuo alone kthxbai #anyway thanks for attending another episode of rwby has shit world building and even worse implications #yodeling into the void

Hate it when I see people say shit like "the Violet paradox mons are so stupid and lame, they're all just robots!" like uhmmmmm yea they are and it OWNS ok. blasts you with my beam attack

#the killer robot aesthetic fucks severely and is MUCH scarier #and imo it works a lot better with the plot tbh #iron jugulis and iron thorns are PEAK #iron valiant and iron moth are RAD #iron bundle is SILLAY #iron hands #i ended that tag to early but i forgot what i was going to say there anyways whoopsies #anyways i feel like its fits the unnatural horrors beyond human comprehension vibe a lot better #“theyre all just robots” well all the scarlet exclusives are just dinosaurs. fucker #well guess what my son boy Henry is a robot AND a dinosaur piss your pants about it #the fact that theyre all robots MAKES it scary like. why! how far in the future is this! at what point will every pokemon become a robot!#how terrifying is this future that they had to become robots in order to survive. did they even BECOME anything or #did the people of the future create them to look like present day pokemon that are now extinct.#much more intriguing to me personally than. here is a woolly mammoth. its descendants do not look like this anymore bc idk evolution or wtv #not saying i dont like the ancient pkmn just saying the people who dislike the future ones are WRONG theyre sick as hell ok #anyways more importantly for each version what paradox mon do you think fucked Arven and Mabosstiff up so bad like #ive been thinking about this a LOT #cant be one of the ones you encounter with him present or he probably wouldve brought it up #my bet for Violet is iron valiant since i feel like thats the scariest #i have no thoughts on scarlet but i guess the equivalent #(based on pokedex placement)#would be roaring moon #idk tho i havent thought about it much #either way. fucking terrifying #pokemon spoilers #lobster.txt

Okay question. For people(me) who think someone wearing a wedding ring is hot, why exactly do you find it hot? Hot because rings in general are hot? Or hot specifically because it's a *wedding ring*?

For me specifically, I just find rings in general hot, and I don't think too hard about the marriage aspect. Just the fact that it's a ring someone consistently wears, so there will always be ring pics! But lmk :)

#lmao this is like. specifically about seb and nando pics #bcs people will always be like grrrrrr the wedding ring is so hot!#and im like yes ring so hot #but then in some fics people use it as a plot point sometimes. like wooo infidelity #but yeah i always draw rings in paintings bcs i think theyre cool #and thats kinda ig why i think pics of them w rings is also hot #but i think some people are def into the marriage aspect of it? idk #catie.rambling.txt

Reading After the Flood now and the whole Leafstar vs Billystorm thing people were arguing about is really just a sign no one has read these books in years tbh

#or at least dont quite get the nuance of the situation #billystorm isnt reckless and dumb and ‘’willing to sterilize his own kids’’ by wanting to take them into a house after a flood #thats a perfectly good concern. but. he was definitely wrong for telling the kits before leafstar. ‘’well leaf couldve assumed-‘#why? why just assume in a relationship? talk to your partners especially abt something as important as child custody #leaf isnt awesome here its definitely dumb that she exiles him over it and gets all kittypet xenophobic #idk they both suck in this situation imo #as for billy stealing the kits. its so funny cause that did not happen #literally its a plot point that they assume he does and he hadnt djfjfjf #wc comics liveread

as this continues to be relevant yeah idk I just think this whole RiverClan nonsense conflict would have been less annoying for me to read if RiverClan had actually descended into true chaos. a situation like Redscar’s field guide story where several cats try to claim authority. but in this case, it goes beyond just two cats fighting and the clan starts splitting into mini factions supporting one self-appointed candidate or the other. the problem being presented as “we all forgot how to do chores without a teacher permission slip :(” is so weird and lame. give me blood shed eat each other alive so i believe your plight ffs!!!

#warrior cats #asc #yarrow speaks #a starless clan #warrior cats sky #warrior cats shadow #wc criticism #uh i dont think this is spoilers? its the same as last book #sorry i take back that old post saying i didnt want to read about RiverClan brushing off Mothwings authority in this situation #turns out they really SHOULD have so that this plot would make more sense #bc as it stands i cant comprhend why she was unable to just point at Literally Anyone and ask them to organize some patrols for the day.#thats not appointing a leader its Just Doing Chores. switch off who does it every day who cares but how is it this much of a problem #i cant engage with this conflict at all with how its presented #idk first they said some senior warriors were *quietly and passively* gesturing to Frostpaw that they would like to be leader #but then later they said that no senior warrior would step forward. which is it. i just cant stop thinking of all the many many times-#-rando warriors were given temporary patrol organizing duties. it happens all the time. i just.#you cant rly tell me not One Single Cat here can organize some chores for a month or two #bc if thats true and mothwing is unable to just point at any warrior ask them to pick some patrols for the day-#then that suggests the problem is not lacking a starclan chosen leader the problem is apparently every single cat in this clan-#-is too incompetent for the job. and being officially appointed isnt going to suddenly give them that skill if they cant do it now #hence why i wish there had been some bloody fighting over this #but sitting around staring at the wall and doing nothing is cool too ig

these two synopses for dear hyeri have completely different implications

#the one on viki leaves it open ended #but everywhere else it implies shell get back w her ex?#which i dont like tbh im not fond of him nothing hes done has made me root for him at all lmfao #jordan talks #dear hyeri #a lot of people seem to think hes the better option but everything hes done has been? so rude????#like idc about him ‘helping’ bc its really just like he pities her .#his wound is gonna be some shit like. my parents divorced and one killed themselves bc of it so thats why i didnt wanna get married #or something.#honestly if its gonna be a come back together kinda plot i feel like he should have been gone for a whike #instead of just constantly still being in her life despite being broken up for 4 years #like at that point. its over dude idk #it just feels like a . were getting back together bc we never truly had any time apart #which leads to the relationship falling apart for the exact same reasons irl but

bellum x linebeck chapter summary drafts that won those polls:

chapter 8

chapter 14

chapter 20

#bellum x linebeck #salty talks #tag works. anyways three chapter drafts and they have alt texts and the alt texts are sliiiiightly different form the actual text #as in i have 'pov' written as 'point of view' and fixed a typo in chapter 8 #love that chapter 14 starts with anyways linebeck is running away from something. bc this is a chapter draft there is no elaboration #bc on my end its just. ok scroll back up to chapter 13. there it is #lil hint of. some. larger plot but not really. i can elaborate on anything related to these three and i am down to #but i dont rlly want to get specific abt any other chapters or story things. or at least dont ask me to if i want to do that i'll make #some sloppy salty talks text post talking in probably too much detail abt some fic thing im working on #not to be. like that. but im a lil sad that none of the ones here are any one of the ones with more fun comments in them #theres not a lot and theyre mostly in the latter drafts so far #my favorite is verbatim 'idk while dicking around he swallows some water'#i consider 'comments' to be the bits in parenthesis so theyre like notes for myself to keep in mind details a layer lower than the basic #plot stuff or just reminders and the one thats my favorite iirc was just like. fuck i need to figure out why this happens. and.#it solves my problem and i like seeing it there bc i think its silly #anyways here u go. three of them. there was a fourth person going along with the polls for a bit #and i personally have like. pet theories on who yall are so if the fourth person eventually wants to ask for whatever chapter draft they #were gonna vote for i wouldnt rlly mind sharing it bc with how it turned out i do feel a lil bad that that fourth person is left out kinda #my writing

Anyway speaking of the sun did I ever tell you about the tales of arise eclipses

#im thinking about it again xyhdfgdchdchjh #do you think they like. considered it #i MEAN ofc they did #they cided that sun disappearing behind rena but dO YOU THINK #that they initially planned to have that actually impact like. the WORLD #in a significant manner?#with the actual luminosity level being affected and all #because like for cyslodia iirc this means no sunlight in the morning #(or cyslodia that we get to explore cyslodia's pretty big after all)#but like i can see how this is a problem like #you liberate cyslodia that is the One Realm where its always nighttime except when you end the renans' grasp on the region there #it still doesnt get a full day of sunlight because of astronomical reasons that we cant do anything about yet #also probably the region of the Central Ocean is in perpetual darkness as well but for those same astronomical reasons #like it GERS CONFUSING it would confuse everything idk #but heres the solution: you ditch that cyslodia in endless nighttime idea bc it was stupid in the first place #like. in calaglia they harvest fire astral energy so its a fiery place. theres fire everywhere. in menancia theyre harvesting #earth astral energy so its super lush and green. and so on and so forth #and in cyslodia theyre harvesting light astral energy so theres. theres no light. its dark. because theyre stealing it!!!!!#well why usnt menancia a barren wasteland then. why isnt ganoth super dry. wha #i COULD accept it if like. maybe. if like the completely stealing the light thing us like. ganabelt specifically.#like hes just a Special Boy and found a way to pull all the stops #and something like that has never been done before in the history of the crown contest #but no this has been going since the great conquest apparently so???#like how arent the other lords doing something like that too?#is light astral energy like so fundamentally different that the harvesting process is the opposite of what happens in other realms?#and if thats the case why dont they ever explain it in the game. or just make a pasing comment about it. I'm not picky #aaaanyway. just get rid of that specific cyslodia plot point #and THEN you can focus on how living in the shade of rena influenced what parts of Dahna #like. to just kinda like. cement the world building a bit?

Tbd?

#having so so many au thoughts but i get so nervous talking about it #bc it deals with a lot of different themes of abuse #one thing about me is that i will make guys abuse each other #but i know a lot of people are really uncomfortable with those kinds of stories and thats okay!#and also its like. wowwww they are frogs why are you doing all that its not that serious #but god its fun 😵‍💫#its always been fucked up in this way but i don't think ive ever really gone into specifics with anyone #i never even write it down because its like. idk i cant admit to myself that I want to make an actually interesting story 🙄#so i always write and tell people an extremely watered down version #i did make some new additions recently tho!#i didnt necessarily change things like i said I was #i mean I changed some character motivations #which is a pretty important thing #but i didnt change many plot points #aaaaggh idk. JUST LET ME MAKE MY IMAGINARY AUDIENCE UNCOMFORTABLE IN PEACE #like yes yes whatever we all get redemption arcs and happy endings #but pre canon is my fucking playground #au #i think if u look at the lyrics in my au playlist u can probably get some ideas about the whole thing LOLL

also hate to be that bitch but im pretty sure changing cordyceps from spore transmission to mycelium infestation only is. not how it works actually irl and its gonna annoy me the rest of the show

#cause the whole thing irl cordyceps does is pilot the bug to the highest point possible to make spores spread wider when it sprouts #so the mutation involving just the obsoletion of spores? in favour of puppeting hosts to infect personally? is kinda weird #like adaptationally speaking #like ig you could say that the spores were what prevented incubation in humans pre-mutation maybe?? idk the biological feasibility of that #also prehensile mycelium like that is. fictional? i believe? i hope jesus fuck #but i guess that would then be at the core of the sudden adaptation if it developed around the same time a surviving body heat #cause a prehensile tendril reaching out and grabbing on is way faster than waiting for spores to do what spores do (<- fuzzy on the details)#so it would just as an adaptation reproduce terrifyingly fast and natural-selection its way to victory #damn. thats actually even worse than the ep1 scientists imagined and it explains why infection is so rapid #cause the infection itself is literally climbing through the systems not just growing #ough man this show is. eesh. dont like that. oof.#idk still the total obsolescence of spores still feels like a plot hole somehow

nausicaä and princess mononoke are not The Same yes they are similar in Having Environmental Themes and A Cool Princess Character but they are very different movies. very very. nausicaä is about a societal ignorance of the nature around it its about conflict between nations and a desire for a peaceful solution. its about taking the time to research the land and animals you live alongside and challenging your current beliefs about them. its about genuine interest in and compassion for animals no one else will love. princess mononoke is about hatred and revenge and how those things can ruin you and its about humanity's impact on its environment and respect for the environment and other animals and sacred things. its about being ostracized and finding new companions and having stronger relationships with them than could ever happen between you and your original home and its about finding those relationships again despite everything. both movies are about war and nature but so are countless others even from the same studio. san isnt even the same kind of "princess" nausicaä is

#posts #to be clear i love both these movies a lot i dont think either is better than the other in any objective way #nausicaä is my favorite movie ever but that only gives it a win for the nostalgia factor #and also i havent seen either of these in several months but it was only last year that i did last see them. so my memory of them is alrigh #but not perfect. so if im missing anything big thats probably why #my point of this is that these movies dont need to be compared in a way that treats them as copies. or in a way that tries to pick the Best #i would love if people were comparing them as two different ways to go about similar/the same topics and still make Two Different Films #side note im unaware if princess mononoke has any Extra Lore? because the nausicaä movie is based on the manga series #which has SO MUCH MORE going on. the movie covers like 1/3 of the manga plot #so idk if theres any missing context for mononoke. to be fair there isnt really anything missing from nausicaä it stands fine as its own-#-movie. i didnt know abt the manga for several years i found it when i was likeeee. 13 or 14
