#someone: asks a simple question

[deoidesign]

Time and Time Again comes back tonight!

Thank you all for being so patient with me, I know it was a long hiatus.

My health was struggling, my arm was (is) hurting, and I decided it wasn't worth it. I'd rather be slow!

So thank you for giving me that grace, and I hope you'll be there with me for the rest of the series.

kelin may i hear more about rockstar touya \(★ω★)/

I was planning to post other headcanons before going for these, BUT I’ve got some for Rockstar!Touya that are pestering my mind these days and your asks come in the right moment, so bear with me please 🤧

࣪𖤐… ROCKSTAR!TOUYA

The first time Touya knew that he wanted to become a rockstar was in middle school, right at the age of thirteen, his influent CEO of a father was trying to mold him into a carbon copy of himself to rival Yagi Toshinori’s Enterprise. While taking a break from studies, he saw his sister watch on TV a rock concert of “Loudness” and to say Akira Takasaki is his role model is the least. That’s a true legend to him.

After “Loudness” and Akira Takasaki, he discovered “Metallica” and Kirk Hammett which made him go like “HOW??? HAVE??? I??? MISSED??? ALL??? THIS???”, scolding himself for taking so long to fall in love with the electric guitar and its sound. The next week he’s blasting full volume “The Final Countdown” by Europe inside the Todoroki Mansion like the good old stamp rock fanatic he is, getting himself scolded and grounded by Enji who is a fan of traditional Japanese music so yeah…

At one of the Todoroki family gatherings during the weekend, he was scrolling down his phone looking first of all where to take guitar lessons and second for a guitar to buy, but he knew his father would never agree to get him one. That’s when his grandfather, peeking at his grandson’s phone, butted in and asked Touya if he’s interested in music. He wasn’t sure if it was a good thing to answer that question, since he’s the father of his father, but he did and hell has it been the best thing he did!

On his fourteenth birthday, Enji’s father bought Touya his very first electric guitar, a good old Fender Stratocaster CUSTOM MADE for him. It’s snow white like his hair and has a his name engraved on the bottom left side of the guitar, while on the other side there were engraved tiger’s fangs, all in turquoise… The color of his eyes. And this has been by far Touya’s best birthday ever.

After finishing Middle School he choose to attend an Art School, taking the music classes as main classes of course; he may or not have done it to piss off and raise Enji’s blood pressure from how mad he got for choosing something different from Finances and Management. Oh his father was livid and Touya was so proud of himself for that.

He has formed a rock band, of which he’s the guitarist and vocalist, with Tenko Shimura (Bassist&Vocalist) and Shuichi Iguchi (Drummer) called “The Villains”… Are we even surprised about this name? Really? Because I am not. Tenko suggested, Iguchi supported strongly and Touya just went with it because complaining and thinking about another name was “Too much effort”. He likes it a lot but will never admit it.

At the age of nineteen, Touya owns a Fender Stratocaster (Custom Made), an Elite Stratocaster, an ST-83-80 Japan (1983) black, Lone Star Strat, IC350 black, IC50 black, ICHI00 white, Gibson SG Standard mahogany and a Jackson Pro Series DK Modern HT6 MS. He also owns four acoustic guitars for songwriting, like a Martin GPC-X1E, Martin 000-28 Modern Deluxe, Taylor GS Mini-e Rosewood SN LTD and a Taylor AD22e. Did he pay all them with Enji’s credit card? Hell yeah. Did he do it out of spite? Absolutely. Did he care about his father’s blood pressure rising even more? Not even remotely.

His favorite groups are Loudness, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Europe, Scorpions, Slipknot, Three Days Grace, Green Day, Skillet, Linkin Park, The Rasmus, L’Arc-En-Ciel, UVERworld, Nirvana, Guns N’ Roses and Evanescence to list some, because there are many more he adores honestly. He isn’t a picky ear as long as the song gives him chills and inspires him, being someone who’s driven by emotions that’s what makes him likes something he hears.

Atsuhiro is their homeroom teacher, at the Art University they attend, who introduces them to Giran, a friend of his, who has an agency for new talents and after they sent him six of their songs wants to launch their very first album by August to make them debut at the “Rock In Japan Fes.”

Touya, being the emotional driven type of musician, is the one put to write the lyrics for the band’s songs and most of the times are hits, especially because his and Tenko’s voice brings to life the emotions of the lyrics in a way that it reaches the listeners right into the heart and soul.

You will never catch Touya’s fingers empty, there’s always rings decorating them and some rings are even custom made by his cousin Geten, who owns a Jewelry shop that he promotes a lot on his social media. One of his most precious rings is the one that he got made for him, with his birthstone carved in it, when he turned eighteen.

He has three earrings on his right ear: an helix, mid helix, conch and low helix. Four on his left one: two helix, a low helix and one on the lobe, plus three nostril piercings on the right side of his nose.

After “The Villains” debuts and proving his father that he could succeed through music without his help nor his name, Touya owns now a black card that he lets Fuyumi and Shoto use to their heart content.

Last, but not least, be ready to be the muse of Touya’s songs the instant he falls head over heels for you. The moment it happens everything, and I mean everything, to him becomes about you driving Tenko and Iguchi to pure exasperation.

here’s the thing. about zolu. puts myhand on your shoulder Here’s the thing. luffy? aromantic. zero interest in romance. zoro? gay. very low interest in romance. has two braincells and they’re both devoted to thinking about swords. they are not dating. it is not romantic. it’s not sexual either because luffy, much like his views on romance, could not give less of a shit about sex. maybe if they both feel up to it at the same time, but that’s rare and when it does happen it’s more of a physicality and, to a lesser extent, affection thing than anything else. occasionally it’s a “hey wouldn’t it be weird/funny/fucked up if we [insert some david cronenberg-type shit]” thing and the other one goes “haha yeah do you wanna try.” but i digress.

however. HOWEVER. they Have A Thing. what that Thing entails is a mystery. luffy is both incredibly straightforward and frustratingly cryptic whenever he’s asked about it and zoro just kinda shrugs. they’re just luffyandzoro and zoroandluffy. the king and his lionheart. drift compatible. partners. captain and first mate. the sailor and the north star. sun and moon. they simply Are. what does that entail? well brother. they hang out

I had a nice talk with @teriiblog about my aokabu being married fic, and although we got kabu's hand placement wrong in our excitement, it still got me thinking: what if, after aokabu got married, kabu changed his battle pose by laying his left hand (with his wedding ring on!) over his heart, instead of his right one (which showed the galar league symbol on his glove)? It could become a way for kabu to show his devotion for larry, even if they could still live in their respective regions after tying the knot? 😭💖

Kabu could keep this very same battle pose, just that he'll exchange his right hand over his left one! 🥺🥺🥺 the galar league might not mind it too, especially if this change in kabu's pose takes place in leon's leadership! 💗

there's a frown on his face as ned rubs at his eyes, very decidedly out of it as marley had pointed out. "out of it is harsh. i'd prefer sleepy, yet trying his best." they were eerily perceptive… or perhaps ned was especially tired. "i was up late last night..." pauses, debates on what would make him sound the least insane. "...working on a new pie recipe." technically true. he definitely thought about one while devising a plan to break into a miniatures museum for a new case. "pie-making is hard business, i'm sure you get it. well, not exactly get it or anything, but cheese and pies are definitely related— unrelated, but do you have any coffee?"

"you look so out of it."

[makeshiftloops]

You ever think about how Martin probably masked a lot for social interactions before The Lonely, and how usually when you finally stop masking for whatever reason, it’s near impossible to start doing it again no matter how much you want to? How hard the skill regression hits you after? Yeah I think about that

[hauntedjohnny]

always think about being in a relationship w johnny around the pflugerville era... johnny leaving for a night or a weekend is common place and he always returns with open arms. but this time its different. you hear his truck pull into the garage. he sits there for an hour. theres no charming smile. no small gift in the palm of his hand. no 'i missed ya darl' muttered onto your lips. you leave the shack and make your way to the car. the gasp falls out of your mouth when he finally turns his body to yours. he's had scratches before but nothing this deep. he locks up the car and walks right past you. he's already in bed when you finally follow. you cant help but be scared as if you were about to startle a wounded dog. you dont sleep. he doesnt either. you feel like you cant breathe. neither can he. its a long silent night. a night that shouldve been full of soft moans and tender compliments. nancy's scalding the next morning echoes through the garden. it makes him broodier. you think you've lost him, subtly packing up your things to make it easier, waiting for him to say the words. it takes him a week to meet your eye. he's not the best with speaking his emotions but you understand. you can see it in his eyes. he's lost control and he needs it back. you're so desperate for his touch that you let him. the cuts on his arms have scabbed over but you can tell that's not what hurts. you never got the full story. all you know is that your johnny has changed.

[bogos--binted]

Yara, would you recommend eating a devil fruit or would you say it has too many drawbacks?

“As for me, I wasn’t much of a swimmer prior to eating the Tōka Tōka no Mi so I can’t say I miss it, though it can be rather annoying to have to be so mindful about not falling in the water. I ate mine in a moment of desperation, but if I were to do it all over again, I would make that same decision. Even if my fruit is basically offensively useless, I have an almost impenetrable defence, which suits me just fine as a swordswoman.”

Ask Yara (or any of my OCs) anything!

strawberry - favorite fruit?

daydreams - if you could be anything or anyone, who would you be?

cupcake - are you a good cook?

Aphrodite - favorite actress/actor?

watermelon - do films ever make you cry?

strawberry - favorite fruit?

In terms of actual fruit... I have a lot of sensory squick issues with texture? 😅 So probably just your basic apple - and even then it has to be a nice crisp apple.

Fruit flavor - cherry. Delicious. 🤤

daydreams - if you could be anything or anyone, who would you be?

An immortal shapeshifter who can grant both abilities to a partner. 😂

More realistically, I'd just like to be someone who actually get things done. 😬

cupcake - are you a good cook?

I'm good at what I know how to make? Maybe even very good - but most of it is pretty easy cooking, and rarely ever from scratch. I lack confidence with new recipes, and that's usually where I run into trouble. That, plus altering them because I'm picky. 😅

(I am a good baker, though 😁)

Aphrodite - favorite actress/actor?

Would have to say Cary Grant. So smooth, so impeccable, and he has the range!

watermelon - do films ever make you cry?

Oh, goodness, yes. I probably have at least a dozen over on my shelves that are close to guaranteed to pull tears out of me.

Nem what do you think of the movie scooby-doo ! Shaggy's showdown (2017)

i love it, definitely a favourite of mine!! it has its pacing issues and the animation is a little rougher than usual, but it more than makes up for those things with the story, setting, monster and character moments!!

i love both this film and the phantosaur for the focus & little character arcs they give to shaggy in terms of his confidence!! his instant bond with tawny is so sweet, and it's interesting to see how he grapples with the dapper jack legend. speaking of dapper jack, he's one of if not my favourite scooby movie monster. everything about him from his design to his backstory is so fascinating and well thought out!! the twist regarding him gets me every time!!!!

the side characters are also great fun - i especially love buddy g, his sister who is trans because i said so, their parents and the guy who does every job around the ranch. and the gang themselves have some super fun moments to boot - shaggy's natural talent at being a cowboy, fred's complete lack of talent at being a cowboy (press f for his sprained ankle), scooby letting buddy g ride on his back, daphne getting so excited over her cowgirl outfit, and velma's ICONIC hatred of el kabong.

just a super fun movie all around with a uniquely wholesome energy to it, helped by a strong cast and a great mystery with a fun twist!!

in conclusion:

Hi! I know that it has been a reaaallllyyy long time, but I was wondering if you remember what you used to edit your photos in the 2nd and 3rd generations of the original Fitch legacy? I hope you have a nice day!

it's no problem at all! thinking back to the Era i was probably using @plumbhilda's super bright & vibrant psd.

in testing on some old unedited screenshots i have, it feels like im getting similar results as i would have had in 2016, so i'd bet money that i was using that one. knowing me i probably had some custom layers in there to bump the saturation of the cyans.

i would be cautious though, since there may be some whitewashing issues by just using the psd straight up with no changes. in gen 4 when i (finally) had fitches with darker skintones, i switched up my editing process.

i dug up some screenshots from my old legacies and used the same psd with no changes and as you can see there are some whitewashing issues, though there may be different results depending on in-game lighting:

in this case, you might have some luck adding the layer from this psd on top.

as always with any psd, i heavily recommend messing with the layers to get the result you want. ts4 especially has really inconsistent lighting that makes it hard to have a single use, no tweaks needed psd, and this one is no exception. otherwise, it's a really cute psd that is really user friendly for ppl new to/unfamiliar with photoshop! i do recommend throwing all the layers in a group though for easier dragging and dropping tho lol

anyway thats all my yapping out of the way LOL i hope this helps!

in a universe where chase and thirteen have reached prodigal siblings status and cameron is still around in some capacity for whatever reason, how do she and thirteen feel about each other?

Hard to say! Cameron and Thirteen really don't interact much in canon: I can only think of two ocassions, and funnily enough, they were pretty similar interactions: the first in The Itch where Cameron is trying to give Thirteen advice on Dealing With House… and the second in Unfaithful, where Cameron is, once again, trying to give Thirteen advice on Dealing With House.

You know I adore Cameron, and I'm not trying to read too deeply into this, but it does kind of make me wonder how they would get along. Cameron's … a bit possessive in some ways, you know? She needs to be needed, she needs to be that expert figure, to be a moral authority, to be That Person. She inserts herself into Diagnostics over and over in S4 and S5, she tells patients what's right and in some of her worst moments decides for them (Maternity), she picks at people and studies them like bugs and needs to understand them. She's a bit controlling, in a fairly benign way mind you, but time and time again Cameron approaches situations with this is the objective (my) reality, and it should conform to my expectations. Often from a place of great empathy and idealism, mind you. But she's very quick to get frustrated and petty when these expectations are stymied.

And the thing about Thirteen is… she is absolutely fucking allergic to this shit. Her secrecy is a meme. She likes Diagnostics and House and her buddies there, and she cuts her phone lines and vanishes for a year. House spends months trying to study her and pick at her secrets and she never becomes comfortable opening up, never gives an inch. Look at the episode where she gets out of prison. She's out of prison and spends days refusing to talk to House about it, barely humoring his guesses. He figures it out and she lashes out — despite this being the most obvious outcome — he literally could have googled it if he wanted — and storms off in tears. Thirteen hates opening up, being exposed, being forced to open up. Yes, her name being Thirteen is a meme, but it's also like. It's a mask. It's yet another layer of privacy and hiding herself away. She tolerates House poking at her because he's not actually very good at it (when it comes to her), and because they're genuinely close, they connect on some visceral level. And even with House, Thirteen barely can tolerate emotional openness.

I really think Cameron and Thirteen would be like oil and water. Cameron would take her secrecy personally — why isn't she opening up? Doesn't she know Cameron is nice? — and Thirteen would hate the prying and lapses into smug I know what's best Cameron tends towards. (I'm agnostic towards most House ships, but tbh, this one has always confused me. Pretty Girls Kissing, I get it, but for real.) Thirteen in turn can be mean, she knows how to poke at someone where it hurts and be dismissive and callous; she's not at all passive or easy-going. Cameron can't help but pry to understand; Thirteen can't help but reject it. Again, we see this in microcosm in The Itch: Cameron confidently tells Thirteen how to best handle House, only to be pulled into a long digression about her and Chase's relationship, to which Thirteen rather sarcastically responds oh, yeah, much faster your way.

That all said! I don't think they'd be antagonistic. Thirteen is quite good at a polite superficial friendliness, and Cameron is of course very good at being friendly and kind. In this wonderful AU where the Prodigal Siblings are hanging out and Cameron isn't off the show, I think they'd get along okay, but mostly for Chase's sake (and Chase, to triangulate all this, is notably different from Thirteen in one aspect: he is openly needy. He is nearly as private and allergic to opening up as she is, but he also very much wears his heart on his sleeve. Thirteen would sooner die than rely on anyone; Chase is constantly looking for validation despite his better efforts). I don't think Cameron would be jealous of Chase having an extremely good looking female best friend or anything, but I can see her feeling a bit left out if Thirteen and Chase start trauma bonding over their murders or fucked up families, for example. But I don't think Thirteen would antagonize Cameron or anything. They just wouldn't be best friends.

are therapists nice
