Yk Wren as a character just intrigues me A LOT.

Like, from what I gathered, she seems like a follower who's very inclined to help others and do what they want. To the point where she'll put herself in harm's way if it benefits those she cares about. To the point where she'll even change some aspects of herself.

And the fact that she resorts to unhealthy coping mechanisms (like idk drinking) to avoid confronting her real issues is smth I think we all can relate to. Like, she doesn't want to be a bother and bottles up her emotions instead of being upfront about her true feelings. For instance, she doesn't like talking about the torture she went through or the centipedes, and was very reluctant to admit she drowned. Overall, she seems like a very loyal and devoted, albeit self-sacrificial and malleable individual.

Wren also seems to have very low self-esteem, evident by the lunches with her mom. She feels bad that she's not living up to her mom's standards and is ashamed when the latter is prouder of Dream than her. I think all of the above is probably the reason why it's so easy for people to manipulate and hurt her.

I wrote this on a whim, so sorry if some things were off or I forgot some details.

All in all, great character, great story, great author, keep doing what you're doing Cala <3

RAAAAA thank you so much Umi dhdjdjdj and please ramble I could go on about Wren as a whole

And you are on the nose with that! Writing Wren is so difference than writing dnd!Cala or any Cala tbh. She has a lot of issues- and it makes her to be annoyed and more bitchy and reserved but also there is that underlying loyalty she has and deep attachment. She WANTS to have people like her- and she doesn’t like talking about what she wants until it’s too much for her (for example, her talking to Dream after he reveals he literally made her his anchor). And even then she’s uncertain on how they’ll act.

I always consider her like a rabbit for many reasons and this is one of them- because she’s genuinely just pushing through everything to survive. It’s even with stuff that I write with her subconsciously you can see she’s a genuinely troubled woman trying hard, and now thrown into a mess.

Idk I just love writing wren complicated because like- yeah she’s a mess but she’s not a full on punching bag for Dream to use- they reflect off each other sometimes but she’s does push for his approval sadly because she feels like it’ll make him happy if she’s happy from him complimenting her.

It’s a genuinely codependent type of relationship in which both characters are flawed ( one more than others) and I like writing how real it is in an extreme circumstance uwu

I could go on forever but yeah

FOR THE CHARACTER ASK!

Diluc

Kaeya

Kujou Sara

Kokomi

Beidou

Ayato

EEK... THANK U .... qwq

i will hide all of the images tho lmao

Diluc - he's my bestie's manz... so i am ok with him -_-

tbh i just can't like him or care about him... he is definitely a Guy from a Game... good for him? i have him on c2 or smth bc he keeps appearing in my gacha and i Don't Like It. i dont need him! i dont want him! we just co-exist in the universe of genshin, i definitely don't hate him tho, he did nothing wrong... just not my guy i guess?

Kaeya - HEHEHHEHEEHEHHEHE (how did i not get bingo when im so crazy about him- anyways.)

so he is just my babygirl ofc no wonder, literally first love of genshin impact, my dearest main <3

i know him so well we are best friends and i also love him and it's awesome ^_^

he 100% has one of the best male design in the damn game like whoever made him was INSANE for putting so much slayfulness into one of the freebies like COME ON sorry no other character stood a chance, they fucking peaked with kaeya i can't

also fun fact every time he appears in a quest i giggle and go crazy like a motherfucker, my god he can do literally nothing for the plot and it's still a delight to stare at him tee hee

Kujou Sara - OOOHHH.. she is so cool... literally so so cool soooo much swag in her omfgggg the way she slays is beyond me. and she is so fucking pretty with her wings and all that. i can't.

i didn't get into inazuma characters unfortunately so i am far from being an expert on her actual personality but from what i got she is awesome, and her dynamic with Itto kills me <3

Kokomi - umi sonoda- i mean what... sorry mimorin as her seiyuu is such a power move...

anyways i can't say i know much about her or care about her enough? but she is a great fish girl, god tier design too! she seems epic B)

Beidou - not my woman but i appreciate her power

she is definitely very fun and even tho i can't get much into her character i still think of her fondly hehe

Ayato - ok .. listen. i. i don't wanna be mean.. so if you love the guy you should ignore what im about to say-

but... who? who? sorry this guy is so irrelevant to me i forget he exists.. all hype for him felt dumb and when he came out it felt even dumber! he just has zero swag in my eyes, he looks like a less cool recolored baizhu and i just Don't Care about him... (derogatory)

thank u again for throwing so many characters at me ily q_q

Both ups & downs today ;u;...

On one hand I am crossing my fingers that the new embroidery person will take my quote cuz the last embroidery person backed down cuz I didn't fall for getting milked for every cent I own. But on the bright side with help from my friend who helped me out with my Sakai Tadatsugu cosplay, I can make my Setsugetsuka jacket for cheaper now (Thanks to WalMart, I pretty much found ALL the fabric INCLUDING the hella specific black & grey checkered pattern I need for this thing though I'm still being hella picky for the shade of green on my sleeves. Cecil's lime green is important cuz I can't be darker than Reiji's green) And my Otoya is gonna teach me how to embroider QwQ so at least I can take baby steps to learn a new skill? I still will need help with the dragon... CUZ IM SCARED LOOKIT THIS THING??? 🐉

Since I've never done embroidery in my entire life, doing a dragon this complex is extremely intimidating to me & I REALLY don't wanna mess it up. I consider the dragon the most important part of the cosplay....I think?? With guidance from Otoya senpai I can make these??? ((bless the Japanese cosplayer who shared all their progress pics of theri cosplay. I LITERALLY owe them my life right now))

The bats, moon and clouds don't seem as scary ;w; I think those are good for me to try at my noobish level. After they get back from their business trip, we wanna schedule a day where we all go meet up to have an embroidery lesson from Otoya ;u; I'm happy this is happening. But yeh... this is the reason I have been very all over the place. And why I have been worried about my cosplay budget/planning. I know this cosplay is due in December but QWQ it requires a ton of preparation since it's such an intricate design. I just want to look fabulous with my group TTwTT 😭! So yeh... once I have my guesstimate of my NEW total of how much my Setsugetsuka jacket will cost to make, I can start planning my budget for Poppy Pipopapo, & Anime Idol.

On another note, because clubs got cancelled for tomorrow, I had time to do the lineart for another Insatiable Umi pic for Sukoshi_Kaze. I can color as much as humanly possible, then edit the hecc outta that ExAid Abridged parody song that is HELLA overdue for Marcos over the weekend.I was waiting on lines from the cast but luckily I am only waiting on 3 people now QuQo wheee! Also if I finish early I can record my Gentarou lines for the HypMic cover AAHHHH!!! And I have been also helping a bud recruit all of HEAVENS for THEIR cosplay group & I'm cryimg cuz THEY ARE ALL SWEET ANGELS GAHHHH??? I'm gettin hella attached and I haven't even met em irl yet 😂 Also, I gotta make my Easter Cesshy photoshoot items too....I have a busy weekend ahead.

Merry Christmas! I just wanted to say, I love your writing and content so much! You're so creative and artistic, honestly you're like my inspiration <3

I love self-insert stuff but have always been really embarrassed and ashamed of it, so I always hide that part of myself (hence why I'm anonymous), but your blog is like a safe space for me to explore parts of myself I usually keep hidden. This is kind of a weird thing to say, but thanks for being yourself, it means a lot

Pen Pals is one of my favourite fics of all time, but I also really like the Noir AU and Cthulhu AU. The concepts are so original and fascinating, honestly you could turn them into a book if you wanted to!

(Btw I was the one who asked if Wren would forgive Dream earlier)

-Your fan, Umi ❤️💚❤️💚

Waaa thank u QwQ it makes me happy to hear that I inspire so many people. I’m glad I can make u feel that and I’m si happy u love my aus and fics!! Have a good Christmas Umi :)
