thinking about the Lady again and she actually is the Character Ever.
Starting off with her design. How ridiculously simple it is, right? Her yukata is plain brown and has a single layer, her wig (and yes, I am positive what she wears is not her hair but a wig soley because of how easily it comes undone... that kind of hairstyle is meant to STICK when done with actual hair) has no decorations befitting a woman of her powerful status and her mask is nothing but... empty. You could mistake her for a mannequin and you wouldn't even be wrong. It's by design, after all: she is as insanely important, as a figure, as she is anonymous as a person.
But then, it's with amusement that you note that that boring, unexpressive mask is called the "Rascal's mask" when unlocked. It's such an oddly affectionate nickname stemming from a person so utterly despicable. And then you notice her hair. Her long, black hair that should be hidden under her wig, as the hairstyle goes, but are instead hanging out freely. Not very traditional at all, right? You could almost read it as a small act of defiance of... something. Now, what that thing is, I doubt even she knows. Maybe it's just her way to seek individuality without having to step into zones she does not want to touch.
And then, of course, the lack of shoes. It's not uncommon for people to wear slippers in the house - especially for the Japanese - but she just... doesn't. In that small, small way, she is similar to Six - and every other child in the Maw running around barefoot. Except she's above running, of course. She's got the privilege of floating like a ghost so that she may never touch the ground.
(The only time when this rule is broken is when she fights Six, poetically enough. You can see her visibly step back.)
These strange little things are the first things that push you to wonder about her as a person. Not the title, not the Lady of the Maw: the individual behind the mask. Who is that person? What is she like? Is there a way to answer these questions? I think yes, if you know where to look - but is it worth to ask these questions considering what she does?
That depends on you. Me personally, I think there is narrative worth to be found in what she has to hide. Her foil, Six, finds value in the aspects of herself she does not hide: she is very unapologetic in her selfhood. The Lady isn't, for the most part.
(I wonder if that would make her envious of her younger counterpart in a different context?)
Frankly, looking back on her choice of attire, the fact that her personal bedroom is barely decorated is not surprising. She only has the essentials: a bed, the vase with the key, a few pictures of importance (of people long forgotten, herself included no doubt) and... an ungodly amount of misplaced clothes all over her quarters. All the same yukata, repeated over and over, maniacally folded and arranged in towers, but never where they're supposed to be.
A bedroom is the reflection of yourself. Of your inner world. The fact hers looks so barebones is quite telling about who she is. Or isn't. She herself may have some trouble trying to figure that one out.
I think that, in a vacuum, it's easy to assume that the reason she's so displeased by her reflection is soley out of vanity. That is definitely part of it, but I don't think that's all there is. Because after seeing the mannequins that all look just like her, the four women in the picture who also wear her same exact clothes... and that hidden quote.
This quote, which is from Alice in Wonderland. Specifically from a conversation in which Alice expresses how she doesn't recognise herself anymore because of how many times she grew big and small during the course of the day. She is not the same person she was before entering Wonderland.
I find the way she clings to the dolls and the music box to be much more... sombre when keeping this in mind. In a way, that scene is reminiscent of Monster Six clinging to her music box in the chaos of the Tower; an attempt to attach to something safe. For the Lady, it's even more personal. Those are her toys. Her song. No one can take them from her and claim them as theirs. These materialistic tomes are physical proof of her identity. She likes dolls, and she likes to sing that song from her music box. Surely, that much is something.
But a ceramic toy and an old music box are not really enough to placate the inner turmoil. Hence the broken mirrors, the hidden statues... the hung down portraits with their eyes scratched out - from times of the past. There is a person looking back in the mirror which she does not recognise. That can't be her, right?
It isn't. The reflection is but a faux image of her outward appearence. The inside, however... much like this concept art shows, she is melting away. Rapidly decaying no matter how much she tries to stick to her youth.
Because at the end of the day, that's what she's doing, no? The toys, the music box, her appearence... all of it, just to cling a bit more to the person she used to be. Point being that I doubt even she remembers what she used to be.
You'd think a person like this would be inclined to feel at least some sympathy for all the lost children wandering the Nowhere. A sense of kinship, perhaps, or even just... basic human compassion. She has proved to have very human emotions, after all. This is where she proves you wrong. Whenever you think she's stepped the lowest, she always goes lower.
In her humanity, she is brutal. Relentless, ruthless. She offers no sympathy to anyone and has no empathy to spare either. She is very much aware of what's going on under her roof: she not only allows the Maw to continue being the way it is in spite of having the power to change things, but she actively engages in its despicable practices. She has petrified children in her quarters, as well as their ashes - of which the use is unclear - and then she is responsible for the Nome population and exploitation being so large and so eerily heavy. She's twisted necks, broken bones, murdered innocents.
The Shadow Children are, to me, one her greatest offenses. I don't think they serve any particular purpose other than... being there because she wanted to make them. Children ripped away from their life because of her whims. Not even in death can they rest because she can get her hands on their souls. They're nameless, forgotten shadows with blank masks: they're just like their creator, in that way. Ripped of all individuality and devoid of everything.
Everything she sees, the Lady devours. Not a creature is safe from her shadows and her wrath, especially if they come and actively intrude in her activities. She's twice as aggressive if the Maw is at stake.
The Lady's personal bedroom has another motif piece which I did not previously mention: the Maw wallpaper. While Roger and the Chefs have wallpapers that portray them with her, the Lady... does not. She only has the Maw. She's not part of that picture.
The Lady can't let the Maw change its ways. She is the Maw. The Maw must survive: so must she. To change the Maw would mean challenging herself enough to bring about a change; to her, who does nothing but lament what she lost, that would be too much effort. Too outside of the comfortable zone where she can survive in peace. Miserable, but unbothered.
... For the most part. Until Six comes around.
#the lady#carols.txt#ln meta#{dude i dont even know where i was going with this#if it seems like this post comes from a place of love it does#not at her as a person but like as a character. i find her so interesting and i feel oddly tender about her writing#usually when this happens its because i see pieces of the person i could have been in a character (like scaramouche for example)#but this time its from the completely opposite perspective#i am a person with a very clear idea of who i am. i know what my identity is and i am not afraid to express it#so witnessing a character with such a confused identity is both alien and fascinating to me#i wanted to focus more on her atrocities and how capitalism is what changes a person but its... 2 am and i am sick rn#i spent an hour literally vomiting my ramblings on this post#as a person and what she stands for i despise her. as a character i wish to put her in a security blanket and see how she gets out#this post feels terribly personal for some reason. like whatever . shes not even allat#im lying she literally IS allat#idk i love well written female characters who feel like people and dont fit in a specific convenctional box. sue me#< goes for six too#not opening *that* can of worms rn but. yeah}#little nightmares

@katkastrofa: *forgets a few OCs when making a list because it’s been a long day, she’s tired and brain farts happen to everyone occasionally*

(looking at inanimate insanity under a microscope) hmmmm i know there's a moral orel au in here somewhere......
#melonposting#sorry i've been watching a lot of moral orel lately </3 so sue me#anyway there are characters that fit general themes/roles well. like cobs and mephone as arthur and clay#but i think it's more fun to think of personality and general ability to potentially fit a role#like orel. someone naive and chipper. a people-pleasing goody-two-shoes who gets into trouble#my first instinct is clover. and i know it's because i love her!!!!#but the two have a thru-line of wanting to do good but somehow along the way hurting people. and it's debatably their fault#and of course they have really similar personalities#not sure who else could fit the role honestly#but stephanie. hooooo boy who gets to be stephanie? :)#someone kind and wise and rational. sincere. had a hard time and doesn't want the same to happen to those she cares about#and of course being butch-adjacent would be nice too#...um???? i don't know lol#maybe cabby? but cabby's too neurotic i think. and too nerdy. though there are similarities#i'm open to suggestions :thumbsup: ya

Oh yeah. This is a thing that is worth a post.
Yes - Miles staying over at Alex's flat when he's gone on tour is (/was) apparently a thing. That happens. Happened more than once at least. And yeah - it's flail worthy, I don't care what you say.
I think there were times when he was inbetween two places/moving so he'd just stay at Alex's?
But also... Do I have to say what type of fluffy/longing fanfic-type images come to mind when you hear something like this???
Goodbye.
#ignore me#ignore meee#I'm... I'm just#... It's increasingly hard to not just straight up write about them like they're an old married couple#I'm sorry#hashtag theories hashtag speculations and all that#but really......#like ...#staying over at his place sorrounded by his things and clothes and sheets annnnnddd#... I'm such a romantic fool#oh but was I a sucker for having something that smelled like the person I loved whenever we were away from each other for a little too long#sleeping with her hoodies... all that shit.#so yeah - SUE ME for flailing over this; when it just sounds so familiar#//#my posts

I didn’t know that they were making a movie/doc on Latasha Harlins…… unfortunately, they have a light bright playing her.
#she was darkskinned… fucking hell#this is so disrespectful#apparently the filmakers are black too#rambling#it’s bad enough that we can’t trust whites and nbs to properly cast us appropriately but we also have to constantly deal with black#filmakers doing the same shit#even her hair is… it’s not#it’s just colorism/featurism/texturism smashing all together into an ugly pile of bullshit#I hope the film is canceled because my god#do they cast light skins in these sorts of roles because they don’t think that the audience will feel sympathetic enough if it were a#black person of darker complexion… I believe so!#this is so gross#the director is a course a light skinned#casting a light skinned girl to play this little girl is… it takes so much away from her story and what happened to her#especially considering that colorism usually impacts the way black people navigate through life as they encounter non black people#and with how much more surveillance and scrutiny that dark skinned black people are usually put under vs light skinned individuals#a lot of them being mixed and even white passing#the family should sue 🗿#no wait… apparently her family approved of this film being made :(……. man…

So my guardian is mute. I have the urge to make it where my guardian talks with those ghost hunting boxes or like with old radio frequencies. I’m just not sure if i want her light to be the reason she can do that (like how steven universe can manipulate static with his emotions or gem powers?) anyway or if i want it to be like a strand darkness type thing.
#oc#Yw#it would just be cool#lol is this to mary sue?#i just like the idea of the different voices connecting to make sentences#it's freaky but cool sounding#destiny 2#destiny#Destiny headcanons#destiny oc#My guardian#She's a very expressive person too so you wouldn't miss her tone#she likes to keep her helm off a lot too

I have been in the mood to watch some Shoujo so I finally got around watching Fruits Basket since its one of the most iconic Shoujo out there and it just feels like I’m missing out on not watching it and while I’m definitely enjoying it so far, I have to admit that Yuki’s (and Kagura) annoying ass almost made me want to drop the show...
#Kagura is pretty self-explanatory#her forcing herself on Kyo and beating him up when he rejects her is NOT cute#I don't care that she's supposed to be a tsundere cuz tsundere who beat up the person they like are so lame and out-dated#Kyo plays the tsundere-like character far better than her#as for Yuki.....he's just a Mary Sue?#he's supposed to be drop-dead gorgeous and has the entire school fawning over him#and he's also extremely powerful and can easily beat up Kyo without breaking a sweat#but he's also a poor sad uwu boy with so many insecurities#I'm sorry he's so obnoxious lol#I think its because he reminds me of Tim#in that we're supposed to feel bad about him but also think that he's perfect/so much better than everyone else#it got a little bit better in recent episode but boy did he almost ruin the show for me#Tohru too with how much of plain protagonist without any real flaws she is but I got over it quickly#since she's supposed to be a self-insert for the audience (also she's a nice girl who doesn't do anything that's really annoying)#except maybe giving sappy speeches every now and then#aside form these 3 I absolutely love the rest of the cast#especially Uotani Hanajima Hatori and Kyo#and I haven't met him yet but I just know I will love Hiro when he appears#mark my word#fruits basket

Decided fuck it and making the wikis for my girls in gdocs bc I think I can format it well enough and I've gotten 1K words into Eve's, just hitting Sastasha (wherein details likely more scattered bc there on they follow story with additions) and desperately trying to find the line between "she's a sex worker" and "I'm wildly horny for my own OC and am unashamed about it"
#personal;#raine plays ffxiv;#“have i mentioned it a normal number of times? is that paragraph about puberty weird?? like it's relevant to her whole Thing#but is it weird??? who cares its staying in but i don't know where the line between “good god” and “yeah that tracks” is when it comes to#sexualizing my girl bc like. she is MEANT to be a litle “”mary sue“” in the “everyone wants to fuck her” way but that's also not ALL she is#but not yet. rn that's most of who she is. she doesn't let herself be much else until she gotta#she is a Tool and she has her Objective. she just gets too many objectives and turns into an exhausted Swiss army knife#anyway i'm rambling#write too much about Eve and she pokes her head in and makes it hard to shut up about her bc she's hot and cool and i love her

How to stop feeling like an awful person after accidentally crossing someone’s boundary even though you talked to them about it and apologized and know you won’t do it again and they understood it was an accident and it’s fine and you two are still on good terms
#god I just#Ughhghhg#I can’t stop THINKING about it it wasn’t even that bad they said i was doing a bit and it was getting annoying#and I said i was sorry like multiple times and I said I won’t do that but again and they were like ‘no you can! it just got a little annoyi#ng it’s fine!’ and I still feel like a terrible person#I think I’m tired that’s gotta be it#or I’m mentally going through what I went through with my old friends and how I got mad at them and lashed out when I shouldn’t have and#refused to apologize and got into a big argument and then had one conversation about it and got mad again and then lashed out AGAIN and then#texted that I didn’t want to be friends any more and then I cried for weeks and every time I’d see one of them I’d want to throw up and I wa#s constantly miserable I didn’t want to go to school and I did everything that I could ok the comic because it was a fun distraction but it#also made me sad because I wanted to finish it and show it to them but they weren’t ever actually interested in it and I never got to show#them and I even made two characters in it based on two of my best friends in that group at the time and now I don’t know if I should delete#them entirely or keep it or change the characters???????? I don’t know#fuck#oh yeah one of those best friends basically took the plot of HBD and changed it a little and is gonna make a fucking short film with it#it’s a stupid fucking plot too it’s one of those like coming of age stories where the main character wears a ghost sheet and it’s actually a#metaphore for being socially anxious because he has a bad home life but then! then he’s walking to class and someone steps on the sheet and#it comes off! and they become best friends and they work through their problems!#Jesus fucking Christ I can’t believe her#I told her it was similar and that she should change it but we were gonna discuss that the week I texted I wasn’t coming back so#If she makes it I’m gonna sue her I don’t fucking care I told her I fucking told her and later that fucking day she ‘came up with it on her#own’ fucking Christ man get a life#I need to stop typing and go to sleep idk why I did that#sorry for the rant!
