#that must have been so stressful

Love how I made jazz, grey and Felicity old. At least of the ones I decided to give ages to.

I hc the submas twins to be 30 or so by bw and jazz n gray are both 40 by that time. Like it's kinda jarring how much older they are compared to everyone??? At least to me?? Cause I don't even see Juniper as that old, maybe in her mid 30's or so. Miguel ( Eva's dad), is significantly younger than those two ( probably one of the younger parents like Kenji's mom), which is mostly for me to be more comfortable in shipping him with Emmet ( based on my hc that I feel fits him and Ingo well). But in doing that, I made it that it almost seems that he won't be able to even meet Jazz and Soul during their journey. Why? Because when Jazz and Soul were 17 when they started their journeys, Miguel would be fucking 9. How the fuck do I make these people meet.

All of this sucks not bc I made old people, they're fine, but rather I made a post about the ages of these characters a long time ago which probably simplified things for me back then, but I can't fucking find it, so now I'm spiraling hgvhvgvgvcg. From what I remember, I think I have it like it was before, but I don't fucking remember. This is hilarious as it is frustrating.

they tried to rebrand as The Criminals but riz is literally the city council's treasurer and also turns out people in their late 20s don't really name their friend groups. so now they're The Intrepid Heroes

Hello! I hope I won't sour your mood with this ask but I have been thinking a lot about your gay dogs this month especially.

I'll just try to keep the context short but in general I'm someone that has accepted being romantically undesireable. It was hard but in the end I have built my life just around me, my humble family and at this point in time I don't even think I have the time for a partner. And considering that it's the love month and a lot of people are preparing to celebrate it with their SOs I assumed that, actually, this is a thing that I sort of have in common with Machete.

From the miscellaneous lore on your profile I see Machete as someone that also has kind of rejected love. That also has built his life around his job, possibly hobbies, his family or mentors (depending if we're talking about canon or modern au). Who kind of forgot that relationships are a thing and that people bond with others in that way. Well, at least he did until meeting Vasco.

I just love thinking about their awkward beginnings. Machete being 100% sure that Vasco is just joking, maybe even sometimes teasing him (in a friendly banter type way) or just explaining to himself that all that kindness and interest is just him being a very considerate friend. And then we have Vasco that just tries to be subtle, as if he was trying to pass a fawn without it noticing and running away, but also with time gains confidence and tries more risque moves. Vasco being all smug and Machete being flustered when their hands or shoulders or tails brush in passing. And then when both are sure of their feelings we have Machete who has to choose between God and his love. Who, at first, unwillingly accepts that divine wrath will be worth their brief love.

I just love your boys. I swear they are all the love supply one might possibly need

Thank you for such a long and thoughtful message! I don't know why you thought you might accidentally sour my mood, I'm utterly delighted whenever I hear that someone has been pondering my little guys (rotating them in their head, as they say), and when they go through the trouble of sharing their findings and conclusions I'm so happy I could crawl up a wall.

I think you deciphered Machete's inner workings very well, especially those of the original canon version. The concept of love is of course prominent in Christianity, so even as a kid being raised in a religious environment that discouraged overt displays of affection and close personal bonds, Machete wasn't completely alienated from it. But it has always been a nebulous, unperceivable and unattainable thing for him. When he was old enough to lock down his career choice he readily accepted he'd never have romantic relationships, spouse or a family, and I think he must've been too young and socially inexperienced to think of it as a significant loss. Either he consciously blocked out the need for companionship by studying and working like his life depended on it, or he didn't really consider that being genuinely befriended, appreciated and loved as a person instead of a respectable and competent authority figure was even an option for him, at least not until Vasco came along.

Just watched the latest Starkid livestream - yes of course I was awake at 5 am on a Sunday - and I love this very specific throughline of Darren's life. It is especially clear after listening to his recent episodes of And That's What You Really Missed. Darren has always pissed off the people around him by being happy when everyone else was stressed.

Nick and Matt went on a mini rant about their experience making Starship and how the show was so derailed by Darren getting cast in Glee. He barely managed to write half of the intended songs for that show - all in his trailer on the Glee set. Matt specifically recounted the story of Darren popping over to Chicago to surprise his friends while they were rehearsing and it was hilarious. Darren being Darren he thought they would all be thrilled to see him and just thrilled to be doing a new musical, but instead he was met with dead silence, followed by a demand for the rest of the songs.

This man is forever happy to be making fun things with a big group of people. And the people around him have to deal with it.

The actual world inside Darren's head VS everyone around him:

Come back home when you have some sense

You can throw your life away just not at my expense

You’re not the son I raised

I am in love with Purah. that is all

i know everyone's sour about colin's "i am a man of honor, and we were... intimate. perhaps that was another part of your planned entrapment." line but we all say things in anger. my main qualm is that pen didn't get to snap back at him. like.

"i'll remind you that you crawled into my carriage."

you know. i know she feels that she's in the wrong here but i just think it would have been fun

[charlotte-family-apologist]

may I have some of your Suchin head canons please? 🥹

Of course!

She’s not insecure. Like at all. Nervous? Anxiety-ridden? Embarrassed? Absolutely, but insecure? Never. She’s confident in her abilities and likes how she looks.

Refuses to wear shorts or any skirt above the knee. Pants and long skirts all the way. Doesn’t really have a reason, just doesn’t like them.

Loves a good tank top though.

Clothing stealer 100%. She didn’t own many casual clothes so most of them were taken from Kenshi’s closet.

Her Japanese wasn’t that good when she and Kenshi met, conversational at best.

Her ass cannot dance 😭 she will trip over her own feet and fall onto the floor. Her battle skill does not help, in fact it makes her lack of dancing ability even more embarrassing.

Rip Suchin you would’ve loved arguing with people online.

Takes cold, short showers.

Genuinely never saw herself being a mother. The only reason she kept Takeda is because she didn’t realize she was pregnant until late into the pregnancy. Though if anything bad were to happen to him it’d be a blood bath.

The type of person to talk to kids the way she talks to adults but with some self-censorship. This is why Takeda freaked out a lot of the Shirai Ryu when he first joined, he was talking like an incredibly blunt, awkward, paranoid adult.

More on that- while she censored herself a bit if asked she wouldn’t sugar coat it. (“Where do babies come from?” “Sex.” Sorta thing)

Refused to answer any questions about Kenshi or her past. Takeda quickly learned not to ask.

i like to think that while on momoiro island, koala and sabo had separate rooms, but after lindbergh and karasu reported that sabo was missing after the events at the reverie, koala started sleeping in what was sabo's room. no one says anything, either. there's no judgement, no questions asked, just a sad look of understanding from everyone involved.

What is Atlas’s not Hels counterpart like?

ahhh yes, i talk a bit about him here, mostly regarding how he’s involved in doc and stress’s backstories, but i can give a lil summary!

atlas’s counterpart is named axis (full username AxisCo). i don’t really have an appearance locked down yet, i just know he’s a human like atlas is and prob not red-eyed or cheshire-smiled. he’s a scientist who shares atlas’s desire to change the universe, though for much less selfish reasons. he’s a hard worker who can get tunnel vision sometimes when it comes to his projects but he isn’t nearly as obsessive- he knows when to throw in the towel. and he’s charismatic, but not a slimy underhanded manipulative piece of shit.

the worst thing he ever did was unintentionally create artificial sentient players (doc and stress) to be used as test subjects, but more info about that can be found in the link above.
