"jason is a knockoff watered down percy" NO hear me out, jason actually parallels annabeth immensely, sharing SO many similarities with her personality, not percy, in this essay I will-

edit: my full analysis is out now! here

melinoe hades 2 is such a good protagonist. like the writing is so.... they're not afraid to show her as both a really single-minded, callous, somewhat black and white morality person, as well as showing how she can be kind, or uncertain of herself under the pressure she's under, or a bit silly at times. she's so endearing, and you can FEEL that she's going to have such a neat arc whenever all the set up with the olympians and mortal stuff pays off

the fact that you have to have these arguments with prometheus, where she's just willfully denying that he has a point bc her entire identity is based around never questioning her mission... i love her so much, in conclusion i'm this cat

Okay now we have to know the snap vs Pinterest beef you can’t just say that and not elaborate…

it's not super serious i would just get annoyed when i tried to look up reference images and the only results were pinterest boards because you can't copy/paste those images- or if you do it's low quality and i like copy/pasting ref images on my canvas so it's easier to look at while i work

and then the only other option's to like log in and i hate having to log into things cause then i have to make an account or whatever and its just all these steps for An Image... like mfer i just want my PICTURES go AWAY

OK BUT COLLIN FARELL SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT HE WOULD LOVE PENGUIN TO WORK WITH JOKER, DO YOU THINK HE WAS HINTING AT SOMETHING OR?

MAYBE!!! I could definitely see Joker being open to aligning with the Mob with intentions of building favors to get out of Arkham, and maybe that alliance is something Riddler would take umbrage with bc he's very much got a vendetta against these organizations for playing a role in how his life turned out.

so very quick and sketchy but i was getting vague designs for all the tldc ladies down in one place

not so sure on gwendolen and gwilanna and i havent looked back at the books for details yet but these were just a quick cool down for the night 🫶

[joshuamj]

if/when I make huge epic base in minecraft I want to maybe do theatre inspired things... like little shop of horrors.. small flower shop -> huge city with big fucking plants all over. That'd be so cool

1k Prompt Ideas I Will Throw at You:

- May and Drew’s Roselia (if you are feeling a very write w/ Pokémon)

- Snippet from a Coffee / Flower Shop AU Meeting at one of their workplaces

- Max & Drew interaction because I think it would be fun

- Solidad & May having a ‘Bitch About Drew Moment’

- A stolen moment™️ before or after a contest (this is me just wanting another version of Untied)

I LOVE ALL OF THESE SO MUCH!!! These gave me so many ideas and three new google docs lol. I am certain that at least one of them will end up being an actually post-able thing👀

The quick little coffeeshop idea is calling to me right now. I have a Concept™ that I can blend with a really old idea that I've always wanted to do something with, but I've never been able to. I think mixing it with the coffeeshop thing is exactly what I needed, and I've gotten about 500 words down on it!!! Which isn't a lot, but it's more than I've gotten done since posting chapter 10 of Chasing Sunsets. Thank you SO MUCH because this definitely got some words going again! And if/when I get works based on these prompts written, can I post it as a gift to your Ao3 account since they were your ideas? no worries if not, but I would absolutely love to give credit where due!

( @bittersweet-adagio sai lore gave our OC's little bit more trauma, honestly this turned into me rambling and analyzing my oc a little bit)

I had finally worked up the courage to give it to them today. It was supposed to be today.

I had finally convinced myself to stop avoiding them

But I guess it would inappropriate to try now, I don't even know if we're allowed to see him

I should care more, be disgusted even but...

Maybe I'll get the chance when they get back, if they ever bother.

How little I feel it compared to the others scares me more than the event itself honestly, and even that's barely more than a dull ache.

Why won't you let me hurt, I just want to feel like all the others

(I get super rambly in the tags guys, also got to post this before my writing anxiety chokes me out)

having Thoughts about astarion currently and particularly abt him being undead as in I like the idea that he forgets to blink sometimes, and mimic breathing, and his skin is very pallid, his hair is a dull shade of white/grey and his red eyes looks kind of murky and there is no light in them. also like the idea that his face - even tho there’s wrinkles - looks too smooth, almost a mask, like hes very striking in an uncanny way, and if he keeps himself still he looks like a statue of some sort. and he paints colour on himself to look more alive but the pigments sits above his skin, not sinking in, and the only time that his complexion looks flushed and alive is when he’s feeding on something. most esp if he’s full and sated..! like for that brief moment his cheeks are flushed and he looks alive and thriving and panting and his eyes look more vibrant as if there’s life in there but then it disappears gradually. post canon astarion who’s no longer bound by cazador’s orders and who’s more or less free to eat whoever he wants looks more alive than bg3 spawn astarion (I think he is so malnourished in that era) and he has a slight colour on his cheeks bc he’s keeping himself fed but not enough to look fully alive, only just. think ascended astarion looks more alive than spawn though only bc I don’t think he’ll deny his whims and he’ll just eat whoever whenever while spawn has more restraint.

anyway I was also thinking of the possibility that spawn kind of drops that facade of a living creature, and he doesn’t bother putting on his pigments and makeup as much, and he uses less of his perfumes especially when he’s galavanting off to who knows where. maybe in settings if he’s visiting the city or meeting new people he’ll put his perfumes and makeup again - but sometimes he doesn’t, he doesn’t think he needs it. I also think about shri’iia liking his decay corpse smell hehe maybe she’ll find it familiar considering she grew up in the braeryn and there’s probably a corpse dumped in every gutter she’s like oh you smell like home 🥰

one of many the fall of the house of usher v succession hot takes (of dubious validity):

people are for sure going to to say that Camille (wears high-waisted pants a lot, has a somewhat angular haircut, fails at her job, obnoxious but wounded, does PR, is white) is the Shiv parallel of the show, but I would argue that Victorine (desperate to prove her worth in a world that Does Not Care, thinks she's a lot better at being sneaky than she is, destroys her relationship with her partner while trying to validate her place in the family/company, APPEARS to have a special relationship with her father as a Daddy's Girl but is actually being manipulated and emotionally abused by him) is the much stronger Shiv parallel

pokemans :) long ramble abt the symbolism behind the pokemon choice below the cut:

Asbel was actually a hard choice for me, his shonen-protag knight-wannabe basic bitch vibes are a little hard to pin down. I wanted to give him a normal type but also possibly a shiny one to represent how Asbel is simultaneously incredibly average (aside from the title he inherited and the powers Sophie gave him) and rather unique (personality-wise, people are drawn to his kindness and inner strength). In the end I picked Furret of the Walking Meme fame for a whooooole buncha reasons:

Firstly, though my pastel palette washes it down, shiny Furret is actually white and magenta instead of its usual brown and tan. It's actually kinda close to Asbel's ambiguous hair color and the white matches his cloak! Hooray for color coordination :)

Furret is the evolved form of Sentret, an early route normal type. Sentret is the scout pokemon and according to its dex entries it lives in groups and keeps watch over the others, akin to groundhogs or meerkats. In other words, it Proteccs(TM) (actually it only learns Protect via TM, like almost every other pokemon).

Strengthwise, Furret is... not good 😅 it suffers the gen II curse of having an abysmally low base stat total even for a fully evolved mon, with its best stat being speed followed by attack. Furret often serves as a utility or support mon instead, doing better in doubles where it can aid its partner with moves like Helping Hand (an Asbel move if I've ever seen one) and Follow Me (become a damage magnet for a round, a rather Asbel tactic). It can also run Trick, Sucker Punch, Knockoff, U-Turn, and Brick Break for more competitive settings, and its Frisk ability can scope out an opponent's held item in settings where that isn't given information. In gen IX it just recently got access to the previously exclusive hazard-removal/setup move Tidy Up (Asbel loves cleaning 😂) which could help Furret a little by boosting its attack and speed, either making its STAB(same type attack bonus) normal moves like Body Slam or Last Resort hit harder or possibly being Baton Passed onto another party member waiting in the back.

Furret has access to a shocking versatile movepool--- it can learn coverage moves for 13/18 types!--- but unfortunately lacks the stats to use them well, which lends to it being overlooked. In-game it can learn HM moves like Strength, Surf, Whirlpool, Cut, and Rock Smash, so it sometimes earns a temporary spot on the team as an HM mule 😅 (but that means it's HELPFUL! It can help its beloved partner navigate a difficult environment!) It can also set up rain or sun, it can Rest and Sleep Talk, it can run a Focus Sash Endeavor gambit, it can Toxic Orb Trick STABFacade. There's SO much Furret can do, the opponent will never know what to expect!! ...except an easy victory, because its stats are just terrible 😔

And that leads me to my final point of similarity, one that readers may have already noticed: Asbel and Furret are both SO underrated and I will defend them with my life 😤 The complaints and critiques against them are often valid, especially when compared to their counterparts like more nuanced protagonists or normal types with a BST above 415, but dammit that's my special little guy, can't you see his potential???? 😭 He means so much to me and he could mean so much to you if you could look past the initial scathing judgments of "this is silly, shallow, and not worth my time."

In conclusion, I love my pathetic little magenta guys 💜💜💜
