I drew a frame of Shellington just in my style because I think he looked cute. And like I said on a previous post, artblock has me in a chokehold but listening to Will Wood helped motivate me to draw some more Octonauts content for you guys

no dally and darry friendship/frenemyship is soooo important to me. every interaction they have im obsessed. wut r u hc about them? i feel like the distance comes from darry wanting tb w the socs imo.

oh anon they're so special to me. i have so many thoughts about them across all sources but i’ll focus mostly on them in the musical for now bc i assume that's what ur asking about.

i definitely feel like their divide comes from a mix of darrys attachment to the socs (like u said), their age difference, and him taking up so much responsibility so suddenly. of course i can't forget se hinton constantly tweeting that darry did not want to be and was not considered a part of the gang 😭. dally would probably think darry was wasting how strong and intimidating he was!!

more than anything tho i think their distance comes from jealousy on darry's part. he wants to be pony's brother but he can't be because he has to be his parent. so he starts resenting dally, who still has that kind of relationship with pony. darry wishes he could let pony have more fun and get in trouble and be a reckless kid but he can't afford to, and dally is encouraging the very kind of behavior that puts darrys guardianship in jeopardy. and darry cannot support that bc his brothers will always come first!! dally doesn't understand (at least not to the full extent) why darry has to be so strict and no nonsense.

that is, until little brother. where dally finally realizes what it means to be a big brother and sees firsthand why darry was being so protective and strict about ponyboy; because pony and johnny– and by association darry and dallas– could have easily switched places. darry criticizes dally and says that he's only “playing the part” of a brother and he's right. that song is the first time dally realizes the pain that comes alongside feeling responsible for someone and failing them.

WHICH LEADS ME TO MY FINAL POINT. one of my Favorite details in the movie is that dally asks for DARRY SPECIFICALLY before his death. that is such an important scene to me and carries a lot of implications about their friendship that you don't really see before then and i think it's such an interesting detail to add. it tears me upppppp that there's no such implication in the show and the only time darry mentions dally's death he does it with a bit of malice. no matter how much he disliked dally in the musical, i can't imagine him not being so deeply impacted by the fact that he's lost another person in his life in a very similar manner to how he lost his parents. all in all, i think their dynamic is much more interesting as "ex friends who fell out due to uncontrollable circumstances" as opposed to "rivals who have always inexplicably hated each other".

tldr: please please please please why can't they have one little hug. A Handshake even. exchange a Singular smile. i just want them to be buddies 😞

How does the craving/yearning correlate to the NPD and BPD for Oswald and Edward? Mostly curious for your thoughts about it

tbh that tag was me going insane I don't fully agree with it now per se. I don't like the original post I made where I compared them to yearning and craving because I compared their relationship to that instead of who they are as people, which was my thought process. I'm not sure if I was right about yearning and borderline idealization, but i do think i was right about craving and narcissism (btw I only made that post because i was watching Contrapoints video about the fucking TWILIGHT books, and since i have the intelligence of a mere banana I connected her opinions on yearning and craving back to nygmobblepot and mental disorders because that is how I show my appreciation to anything I find cool. keep in mind the definition I am using here is stolen from her and she took notes from Shakespeare, Taylor Swift, twilight as previously mentioned, and SEINFELD FOR HER THOUGHTS. Still, she is a great YouTuber go watch her she is one of my favorites.)

what I'm considering craving as definition wise is a desire that can be satisfied but only for a moment, constantly needing to be refilled. its like craving drinking or eating, it will satisfy you but you will constantly need to do it over and over and over in your life, it can be fulfilled unlike yearning but never for long, you will always need to refill it since it will never stick. craving is also less personal than yearning since it doesn't acknowledge something is deeply missing, it provides a temporary solution for something that will which makes craving end up resembling more so something like lust instead of limerence

i view narcissistic supply similarly to this. narcissism as a disorder is just trying to keep your false self up, it can be satisfied for a while but it will always still need to be refilled because of the fact its not a genuine love for yourself. narcissism is like having an addiction to feeling special in a way, that's why the craving for admiration never stops, because since they don't naturally feel content about themselves, narcissism as a coping mechanism works as tricking both the self and others that false, idealized self is real. the craving itself is a cope to hide the yearning in a way, the craving here only exists because of a deeper deficit. edward is not aware that he yearns for love and admiration, he thinks that he can just get a bit of it and be content forever, but he wont. ( fun fact the false grandiose self is actually the main difference in bpd and npd, they do have alot of simliarties like projection and splitting and a want for admiration and love but borderlines dont have that false idealized grandiose self unless they also have npd on top of their bpd. this is probablyyyy why borderlines are more easier to maniuplate since narcissistic defendses are stronger and more durable than borderline ones, there is a reason borderlines often split on themselves while narcissists don't that much)

yearning is wanting your other half, it's wanting to inherently fill out that incomplete part of yourself. You could make a connection between BPD and yearning since things like idealization and chronic feelings of emptiness but I feel less confident in this one. the yearning will also never be fulfilled just like the craving is, Oswald thinks that he will feel fine when he finally gets it but his idea of love is idealized. That version of love he craves does not exist since love requires effort and work, and even if it did he would still fail at it because of his cannibalistic nature when it comes to love, nothing is enough for him, he will hold unto someone until their bones break. that cannibalistic desire ends up becoming similar to the craving in my head a little, because nothing will be enough. he also uses people to bring himself up ego but doesn't want to reflect on how his actions are selfish, pretty much downplaying or playing victim about it and acting like he is not as bad as the other criminals are ( both of them do this, to be honest, I would say it is different but not really besides which one plays up the other as a irrational fool more than a malicious monster out to get them and vise versa, they devalue and demonize each other in the same ways; both feel like the other just lied about ever caring for them)

basically what I am getting at here is ed thinks that he can just get his needs met if he does things that will only satisfy him temporally ( since he's a "cold logician MY ASS) and will not stop the constant, unaware yearning for genuine love while Oswald thinks he will be satisfied if he gets that, when he won't, he will want more and more until there is nothing left but bones. Oswald thinks his desire could be fulfilled perfectly if he just met the right person but no one will satisfy that hunger, he pretends he does not crave like Edward does but he still does. both of them have the same problems but both of them try to hide them differently and express them differently, edward is more ashamed looking like he is irrational and Oswald is more ashamed of being SEEN as a monster. ( neither of them like being viewed like that but both of them clearly have a preference for a different insult, edward just convinces himself that they are basically just ants who don't know better and oswald goes by a more the ends justify the means approach, edward does want to be loved and admired but he thinks that is not possible in the more traditional oswald way, so he does a bunch of crime shit instead to prove how smart he is and to get that love and admiration)

edward has the same yearning as Oswald but he pretends he doesn't, Oswald has the same craves as edward does but pretends he doesn't

Love that Briggsy canonically ships Lethicus. Also love that Marius wasn’t wholly denying that Lethica herself was tempting him, he was mostly just focusing on the fact that her blood was (which I understand).

I still believe in my heart of hearts tho that Briggsy might have a bit of a crush on Marius. Maybe he doesn’t realize it, or maybe he does and is just stomping his feelings down bc he knows that Marius is into Lethica, who knows.

I also feel in my heart of hearts that Lethica and Jericho have formed a sibling-like bond. I mean, I got that vibe by episode 8, but especially now that I’m almost caught up (fuck. I’m almost caught up. Who allowed that.) Like, I wholeheartedly believe that Lethica loves Jericho in a big sister sorta way, and that Jericho loves Lethica bc he considers her the only real family he’s ever had

[mediocremelatonin235]

It would be sorta cool or somewhat meta that for Sam’s characteristics his can also mirror that of some of Tiana’s character traits in terms of passion, drive, and pride. Not to mention the resolve to get what he wants and more.

It can also work with a conflict: The dissonance of being torn between hard work getting you there vs hard work can only get you so far. Although he may involve shady dealings, he may have a strong moral compass.

So far TLDR he can have some of Tiana’s trait while also having the conflict of “ does hard work truly get you to where you want to be?”

[captain-k8kat]

I hate to say it cus it makes me feel like an extremely bitter and unlikable person but I do not like how diluc was extroverted as a kid and how that's canon now because it feels like extrovert = happy and introvert = unhappy and that's the kind of character change they went with to show diluc's growth? And idk why but I hate it. Why couldn't he have been introverted and happy? And also a troublemaker because he was (is) that too lol

🌺 Describe one part of your inner world.

Toby will try his best to describe where "front" in in our inner world!

It's like the control panel in that tower from Inside Out, but it's against a wall of glass and there are several computer monitors displaying random stuff on them that are suspended from the ceiling.

(Toby isn't too connected to our inner world and can't go into a lot of detail, sorry)

🌈 Are there any parts who view themselves as something other than human? Or who have supernatural powers?

Most of us view ourselves as something other than human! You will here this a lot from Toby (one of the resident androids)! I (Toby) am pretty sure I've heard Micheal say that be can light himself on fire with only sheer will!

Will the multiple lives aspect of the Life series be a part of this AU? Would them gaining multiple lives be similar to how a leader has multiple in the books?

the multiple lives aspect does sort of plays into the au?? but not in the way you think the events of the life series happens in a group that pre exists the clans, before any sort of 9 lives stuff, or even typical clan roles exist. they had ancestors they followed, but they did things very different compared to those that the clans follow in current day. think more reincarnation at a later point, then die->wake up right after, if that makes sense? also the game only happens once. I'll explain the timeline of events and how everything works at some point, I'm just busy with irl stuff

im like if a girl saw the Barbie movie yesterday and started hyperventilating and sobbing and laughing all at once (silently) as soon as the credits started playing and didn’t stop crying for 6 minutes afterwards

Hi hello, it do be a chatty kind of evening. I’m here with some rambles. I’ve just watched some of witchcraft smp and despite the fact that they haven’t interacted at all, I’m rotating a shubble/cleo ship so rapidly. Just think about the potential.

They met on empires (do they remember idk?) but cleo tried to kill shubble after joey told them to “kill the witch.” But now they are both witches and competing for the position of power.

I know their characters aren’t the most fleshed out yet but think about a not-so confident storm witch and a very confident time witch and how they could team up and take on the challenges together.

Ohhhh I'm loving this... The only pov ive watched so far is Scott's, (got maybe a minute? into Cleo's before I had to put it aside for life reasons) but 👀👀 Their interactions during the crossover were hilarious, and I can't wait to see more of them... (I can definitely get on board with this ship too!! Storm and time magic teaming up? Unstoppable) also the angst possibilities.. ohhoho >:3

Thank you for your rambles!! I'm definitely gonna have to watch their videos soon... :D (and if you ever feel like talking more about this smp, I'm planning on getting in deep 😂)

[zelda7999]

Pfft, Neon and Horizon just "Spiderman Pointing Meme" at Neon Eclipse. Poor dude would be so confused like "Did I say something wrong? Why are you pointing at me like that?"

Dude is so serious in front of other people because no one takes him serious except his partner so Neon and Horizon doing this would throw him for a loop.

Thank you for that laugh

: )

- Agent Viper

it's all I could think of the entire time reading that ask XDDD

But if your Eclipse is super serious then OH BOY IS HE IN FOR WHIPLASH! LMAO

Currently imagining he comes in super serious, in need of some gear or something fixed. N then seeing how not serious the lab is. There's a fire in the background that's currently being put out, two clipboards on a counter somewhere, and meanwhile both Neon and Horizon are giving your Eclipse full attention as if nothing is happening behind them.

not to mention the puns these two make puns so much, n will joke around and have fun with their work. They will do a great job, but they will also have the most fun the entire time. Hehehe so much whiplash

is scene a music based subculture

Mostly yeah. The whole scene/scenemo/emo lines tend to blur (at least for me) music taste wise if that makes sense, but yeah it’s mostly the emo and emo electronic stuff

Take what I say with a grain of salt my view and interpretation of the subculture might be different from yours :)

[picture-me-in-the-trees]

first of all THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! this really inspired me to plan this fic out a bit more bc i love these shows both so much!!!! anyway here are my ideas and if anyone has suggestions please let me know <3

beard and ted: mike and allison, ted will probably be allison just bc he’ll probably be the one who can see the ghosts

jamie—julian. NOW HEAR ME OUT. bc the personalities aren’t really the same. like at all. i mainly chose this bc he doesn’t wear pants and i love when jamie does that. also i feel like i could do something with the character development there yk

roy—the captain. this made sense to me, idk. like he is the captain of the team and also he has the same kind of rough exterior but he’s actually just a silly guy. also he’s repressed (obviously id have to include royjamie into this fic)

keeley—mary. they aren’t similar at all. like completely different characters. but it’s an au so it doesn’t have to be completely accurate. its a lawless land out here. i feel like i could make it work though. also i feel like i could slip in a barbara reference or something this way

dani: kitty. this very much made sense to me. they have similar happy and bubbly personalities yk

rebecca: fanny. fanny is the lady of the house and rebecca is the owner of the club. it makes sense to me personally idk

higgins: i had to take @jamietartt09’s input here bc he’s obviously pat, they’re so similar in my head idk just the vibes

those are all the ones i’m certain of i think. or at least more confident in. i thought maybe colin could be robin (something about the “my doctor told me not to drink” *drinks his beer* really gives me robin vibes for some reason). or maybe jan maas??? sam could be thomas or maybe humphrey??? idk where isaac would go??? also jamie could totally be thomas but idk i kind of like him as a sillier non-politician julian. idk pls help me

and i think i’d make the plague ghosts just the rest of the players on the team so i don’t leave anyone out <3

WHAT IF I. WHAT IF I MADE A BBCS GHOSTS TED LASSO AU. WHAT IF. BEARD AND TED ARE MIKE AND ALLISON AND THE TEAM ARE THE GHOSTS AND. IM GETTING IDEAS

[bamsara]

Hey! If you don’t mind answering a question, how exactly did Narinder help The Lamb with the harvest ritual (to the point that it did more then expected!) I thought that they had to be physically in contact for the power to be shared, but maybe I just missed something? Anyway, take care! Love the comic, and have a good day :]

It works the same ways how Narinder had to actively think good thoughts about the Lamb to be able to teleport in chapter 3, and how both of their powers are getting stronger through out the story. Example: Narinder used to have to touch the Lamb to be able to teleport, now he can do it on his own, and especially easier if they're just in the vicinity. This doesn't mean that touching doesn't increase the amount of power they output, but it's definitely more controllable and willing when they work together.

I think the best way I can describe it is:

Not touching and not getting along/working together = Fizzled out magic. The crown doesn't answer to the Lamb and Narinder's powers seem to fail him. There's a disconnection. See start of story.

Not touching but working together/getting along, or touching with the intent of making something work = Normal but can not be. Power can be focused and calculated accordingly. Both powers that be can contribute and essentially 'complete' whats needed. Varies greatly in application, often depending on their mood/willingness to help.

Exp: Narinder would instantly rot organic items in the start of the story, but he later manages not to do so when handling The Fox's offering in chap 6 until the Lamb says something that ruins his mood. He's still working on the control.

Think of your average trial and error of coming into their new predicament and learning to adjust.

Touching = Prone to accidents. Depending on if they're getting along or their fighting, this is either a really good thing and can be used normally, or a nuke waiting to deploy. Can be uncontrollable. It's why the flower suddenly grew for a second before wilting in chapter 14, and how they accidentally resurrected Jayen in chapter 2.

Something something they are always connected, regardless of touching (evident in how the dreams can bluetooth each other under special circumstance) but the severity of power falls to where in the timeline. The healing factor also benefits from this. Small things, but there's more planned as they progress. Think: Narinder inadvertently helping Lamb relax in a nightmare when he just touches their arm wondering if they're awake in chap 14.

Something something it's an amplifier as much as it was a key factor, just like their feelings can affect it. As powers progress in the story, they'll figure out some things on their own.

(And Narinder really, really wanted the harvest ritual to work out for the Lamb)
