#so i'm Hesitating but also Want To Do It

[voidendron]

why

why

is Andur/Xaerez/Theron so SO tempting. I started thinking of them again and now they won't leave my mind

slow burn, enemies > allies > lovers, three VERY different backgrounds that they all come from (Theron's whole "raised by a Jedi" thing then being Republic SIS; Xaerez from the Ascendency, then being Imp Intel; Andur as a Zakuulan Exarch and in charge of a Star Fortress) ... UGH WHY

like. it would start as one-sided, Andur with feelings toward Xae since Xae DID practically save him from "going down with his ship" so to speak after his Terrible Guilt for getting the other Exarchs all killed and betraying his world. and just gradually, especially after Xae deals with having his Castellan restraints re-triggered, just. Become A Thing

bc like. Xae saved Andur, so why can't Andur save Xae?? and maybe he Also saves Theron but like. in a Literal sense from something dangerous instead of a "from himself" sense. which just cements things Even More between the three of them????

HMMMM

and also bc Xaerez Will eventually die from complications due to all the shit his body's been through, Theron deserves SOMEONE he can lean on when Xae does die ok

Erik, what are you doing?

X-MEN: DAYS OF THE FUTURE PAST (2014)

[shannonsketches]

thinking about gohan and vegeta and how their bond is underrated

the difference in their reactions to each other 😭

Gohan being the first one to step between Vegeta and Certain Death, twice, without an ounce of hesitation, and Vegeta saving him back despite his feelings about battle intervention.

Vegeta knowing Gohan's the best of all of them

Vegeta and Gohan both born prodigies assigned an unfair amount of responsibility to be Great and be a Saiyan Messiah(tm) way too young by a stubborn and proud if not (relatively) well-meaning father who didn't see any other option and I just think Gohan doesn't get enough credit as like. The first serious muscle behind Geets' personal growth.

Y'ALL.

Just got a preliminary interview for Project & Design Estimator I (job quotes, AutoCAD, Salesforce) within the company I work for.

I've been on the job hunt and the job market is b r u t a l right now. It feels so good to have someone go, "I am very impressed by your history and skills."

It's just a prelim interview, it's next Tuesday. Please please please send me your good luck/confidence/charisma, God knows I need all three.

You have no idea how much a shift into this type of work would mean for me and my future prospects, especially as a college dropout. I don't even know what the pay will be, but I assume it's even marginally more than what they're paying me now.

[grapecaseschoices]

it seems that i got my ass blocked by commenting how surprised i was i liked an IF given the genre [dark fantasy] and how white it was.

i suppose i should have seen that coming.

i suppose it is a bit of that 'oh i can't stand xyz but i like how YOU do it'. like that poll. i like 9% feel bad i approached it that way. i felt bad when i was writing it but i let the obnoxiousness stay. because it is very white. and i don't mean just in terms of the ro. but in terms of calling brown skin after food stuff.

though maybe the writer isn't white! which was part of the offense. but that lowkey makes it worse in my eyes.

[solplease]

i've been very excited to post this but here are my ocs haha!! meet lune, cecilia, nox, and aster!

hates it when you don’t pay attention to him (will absolutely start sulking too)

he’s impulsive but he’s not completely reckless

you probs shouldn’t trust him too much though he has good (????) intentions lol

seems silly (debatable really) but he’s dangerous.

half of the things he says sound like jokes but trust me, he means it. he’d do anything and everything for you, don’t forget!

shockingly pouty and whiny, only in front of you though

him and cecilia have matching bracelets from when they were younger which they both wear to this day

he’s oblivious as fuck, and an idiot

lune's twin (she's younger)

has abandonment issues

girlfail tbh

hardworking

shes really protective of her loved ones

likes cute things

has issues with her family but still talks to them (lune does NOT)

packs a good punch

SENSITIVE…

potential yandere? still not too sure if i’ll make her a fully fledged yan but she def has some of the traits lol

her and lune have matching bracelets from when they were younger! (she wears it everyday!)

she doesn’t mean to put on a front it just kinda happens automatically lmao

oddly sweet (???)

but also ominous as hell

docile with the one he loves

isolating and manipulative yandere

dislikes lune

wouldn’t put stalking past him tbh

he’s the type that wants to know everything about you.

he has a tough time interacting with others. he feels awkward in social situations

the type to go to a party and spend the whole time petting the cat in the corner (he would not go to the party in the first place tho lmao)

he’s not misunderstood tho, he just can’t socialize and doesn’t really want to

grabs the end of your shirt in an awkward situation (its kinda cute)

takes time to open up, but when he falls for you, his love is so strong, it’s almost overwhelming. so just accept him, alright?

this man’s brain probs short circuits every 5 minutes LMFAO go to bed you idiot

clingy and cunning yandere

two faced

struggles with empathy (he tries, he’s not human, what’s he supposed to do!)

extroverted (?)

he’s really lonely

when he met you for the first time he was absolutely fascinated as he’s never interacted with a human being before!

BLUNT. he’s not used to convos… just give him some time!

at first it was simple curiosity, but that curiosity turned into something… deeper

he was completely alone before this, but now you’re here, and you’re going to stay, right? 

is obsessed with the idea of you staying here with him forever, so why do you keep talking about going home? can’t you stay here? 

but then you bring up the idea of him coming with you, well why didn’t you say that earlier! he's happy to come with you

It takes him some time to grasp certain concepts so please be patient with him, he’s not used to humans

he’s paranoid and hostile to other humans. it’s not fair, he wants all of your attention, so why is everyone trying to take you from him? he doesn’t like that everyone is getting in his way… 

he’s terrified of bugs. will scream incredibly loudly if he sees one lol

he pulled you through a mirror, that’s how you ended up in his land

so if you wanna go back, just ask and he’ll take you! 

gives you jewelry, expensive jewelry. (maybe he’s slipped on a ring before. haha. jk… unless..?)

prefers to stay inside your place because he really doesn’t like people who aren’t you lmao

don’t stray too far from him, okay? he’s always waiting for you

rowan (who i don't have a new drawing of rn </3 sorry!):

he absolutely hates not being a priority, so please don’t ignore him. please? he just wants you to love him.

clingy, devoted, and obsessive yandere

if you don’t reciprocate he might (unknowingly) try to guilt you into liking him back. will appear like a kicked puppy to really sell it (but it’s not an act lol he’s just like this)

at least his intentions are pure! (?????????) but is that better..?

if when (it will happen) you two end up together, he’ll give you the world if you’d asked for it

used to cut his own hair! :D (not great at it tho tbh)

very attentive and will work hard to keep you happy! just don’t forget that you’ll love only each other for the rest of your life. please don’t leave.

has tripped over nothing, will definitely happen again

here's the shitty relationship chart that i rushed </3 its very ugly im sorry HAHA

i really want to clarify that NONE of them will ever hurt you physically on purpose (they might have to pay up for emotional damages tho. they have your best interest in mind ig)

also i would say that they all share some traits like being clingy, devoted, possessive, obsessive, jealous, protective, and loyal. but if i specifically wrote it, it's probs just a bit more intense... just a bit,,, haha...

[luna-loveboop]

I'm uncertain but not sure to make a poll or not- so let me know what you think in replies or whatever if you want

[mariyekos]

Okay so a while back I made a post about a potential DMC6/post-DMC5 scenario in which Dante, in having absorbed the Sparda (and thus the Force Edge + Amulet that were key to the split between worlds), ends up inadvertently making himself into a living Seal.

One thing that hasn't left my mind since then is the concept of Dante ending up extra "connected" to the world because of it. Or even just because he's Sparda's son, if you want to extend it, but it'd definitely go up post-DMC5 Sword Absorption ordeal.

When Sparda split the worlds, he sealed away his own power. In this scenario, I imagine thay in doing so, he ended up connected to the Human World in a way beyond what any human or demonic should've been, leaving to him getting a sort of...awareness of the going ons of the world. He helped shape the Human World into what it was by sealing it off from the Demon World, and so the Human World filters some information back to him.

It's a passive thing. He can't turn it off. He learns to ignore it for the most part, because he doesn't need or want a lot of the information that's suddenly pinging his brain and impacting his senses, but it never truly goes away, it just gets quieter. A lot of it is vague, senses of "something happened" or the occasional better-than-normal read of a human where he has a general idea of what they're feeling or desire because the world picks up on it and, due to their proximity, passes the information along. There are certain things that tend to register more often than others; natural disasters that result in hundreds or thousands of deaths almost always register to him, as do demon summonings/portals of certain magnitudes. It's not that the world is trying to notify him to get him to do anything, or because it considers him a protector or anything (the Human World has no feelings; it's an ambient, consciousless entity with no real thoughts or desires). It does it because the world registers when extreme events of "damage" occur and Sparda's connection to it means he occasionally picks up on what it experiences.

So, back to Dante-

With Dante having absorbed the Sparda and thus the parts that helped split the worlds, he'd end up on the receiving end of all of this information. His experience might even be stronger, both due to the extra compatibility of being part human himself, and because the Seal being used to maintain the split between worlds is actively a part of himself, unlike the Force Edge which Sparda left on the other side of the barrier.

I imagine it would be incredibly overwhelming. Disturbing. Suddenly Dante's feeling and knowing all these things he has absolutely no reason to feel or know, and it's freaking him out. He wouldn't know why at first, either. I think he's have to start by realizing he'd made himself into a Seal, which would be an ordeal by itself, and then he'd have to go along a pretty long, pretty complicated train ride to arrive at the destination of "the weird, vague things that are suddenly pinging in my head for no discernible reason aren't just some sort of hallucinations but factual occurrences that I am now aware of due to my existence as a Seal who is suddenly receiving the world's general knowledge because I've made myself into a key part of its continuing existence."

Sparda had the benefit of years of lived experience and less going on at the time to help him deal with everything. He made the Seals (most of which Vergil destroyed raising the Temen-ni-gru, which is how Dante ends up as the last one), then got to live in the relatively Demon-free human world for a while without many issues. I headcanon that the barrier between worlds actually didn't need that much maintenance at first because the wound of the split was so deep it took a while before it could start to so much as attempt to heal, at which point Sparda had to step up his game and start instituting extra processes and putting in more of his own power to keep the worlds split. Thanks to this, Sparda could devote a lot of time to figuring things out. Plus there were way fewer humans doing things back then.

Dante though? Not only is he actively being drained by virtue of being the only remaining Seal- which again, is an active part of himself in the DSD unlike the Force Edge which Sparda left behind-, but demons are crossing over and causing issues, there are way more humans, and Dante's probably in a way worse spot mentally than Sparda was, even if he has a better support group now than he did in the past. Years of issues don't just dissolve because Vergil showed up.

So! What's the point of this?

....I don't know. Just fun to share an idea. And it's a very long way of saying "here's my justification for how Dante could be Even More OP (and unnerving to outsiders) for funsies." Connection to the world giving him extra awareness of what's going on. It's hard to get past him, because he just Knows Stuff even when he shouldn't. Even pre-DMC5, if we assume some residual connection between Sparda and the world has been passed on to Dante, it allows for that extra awareness throughout his life. Some of it is just the result of having enhanced senses thanks to the demon blood, but some of it is Definitely More.

rye during the taash & davrin workout scene is sooo 'I came here to eat near-inedibly dark chocolate and gently bully davrin, and I'm all out of chocolate' coded and it's wonderful. I love all three of them so much. I love that davrin approves if you tell taash 'you gonna let davrin beat you???' (and taash' satisfied 'davrin DIDN'T beat me }:)' afterwards). I love that rye tries to neg davrin about the pull ups and taash immediately but not uncompanionably um actually --s him. their mother's child truly in ways they don't seem to realize lol. young master ingellvar I believe that as a consequence of your own hubris you have been -- what is the teminology... owned. (rye has not done a deliberate pull up OR chin up in his LIFE, btw, his muscle is all built up through fighting practice/forms and advanced necropolis parkour between ruined buildings from a young age. he probably has something between like a climber's build and a dancer's. all those watcher 'back straight' reminders over the years. and all it cost was a few very deep neuroses taking root in him forever! a bargain I'm sure) the fact that taash identifies griffon babies in danger as the most urgently motivating image for davrin and seems to be correct about it. I hope manfred and assan are out there getting up to Shenanigans while briefly unsupervised. peace and love in taash' improvised gym this fine day

Don't know what it says about me that Psychonauts 2 has canon Old Man Yaoi and it's objectively the best thing in the entire series but I still said "Those old gay men aren't ugly and insane enough for me" and lost my mind shipping the asylum patients from the first game instead.

Genuinely so happy to see that Totodile made it into ZA! I haven't really consolidated my thoughts on the trailer yet (I feel like I still have more questions than answers about what the plot itself even is beyond 'make the city better' tbh?), but Totodile is there and Absol is there and that is genuinely enough to keep me excited

My glitter edits get reposted more than I’d like. So here are the websites/apps I use to create them in an effort to prevent that from happening:

Online Image editor: this will be where you add glitter to your image, or even glitter text.

Once you’ve uploaded your image, you will select animation, then add glitters. As you see below there’s a HUGE selection of glitters you can use!

You can get to glitter text the same way, except you’ll select “glitter text” instead of “add glitters”.

If you don’t like the free fonts it’s built with, I suggest using a website called Dafont.com. From there you can download thousands of commercial free fonts.

I personally like to use an app called phonto and download fonts onto there. I use this app because there are a variety of features that can elevate your text.

As for making an image transparent, you can use the built-in transparent software in Online image editor. But I prefer to use a free app on the Apple Store called “Eraser”. But you can literally find a background remover anywhere if you look hard enough.

To all the first-time readers of Trimax volume 10 who saw this/will see this and think, "I dun wanna ):<" Well... mood!

My first time through, I was so close to just dropping it after this point. But luckily I pushed through and used the forward momentum to keep reading because there are so many good moments to keep reading for. What will happen to Vash? What will happen to Knives? Will we get to know Livio/Razlo more? What about the rest of Team the Stampede, what happens to them? What are they even up to right now??? Not to mention, there are still a couple of other major characters to meet! Volume ten, for me, was by far the roughest to read out of any volume. It hurts so much to absorb, and as someone who loved Wolfwood deeply, just like any grief, it's hard to see the point in moving forward.

But I promise there is so much more to come, and it's worth it, or else I wouldn't have started @trigunbookclub
