#that's not to say that he isn't a cool character but yah idk

[myreygn]

Okay let's give this a try: Black Butler

lemme preface this by saying it's been SO LONG since i actually watched the show so please don't come at me 🥲

favorite character; joker is will be forever has always been my precious princess and when i say it's been forever since i watched the show the only thing excluded from that is book of circus because i rewatch this shit religiously

are they the best character?; well he is very much a side character so as much as it hurts me to say this, probably not. again it's been a hot minute since i've seen the actual show, i'm missing a bunch of ovas and i haven't read the manga but i'm gonna go with sebastian, like let's be real sebastian has by far the most interesting dynamics in the show

[diientedegato]

I'm curious if you have any thoughts on what Ben Paul would look like if he was alive years after S1 of TWDG :> I honestly prefer to imagine both him & Kenny going off on their own adventures after S1, because Idk if I'd've had Kenny as part of S2, it felt like when he returned it became less Clem's story & more his. That might be controversial among fans but it's how I feel :s I like to imagine Ben, Kenny & Sarita forming their own little family in fact <3 I'd expect Ben would end up with shaggier hair after a while but I wouldn't mind knowing what he'd look like with short, spiked up hair ;>

IM SORRY BOTH THE ASK AND DRAWING ARE OLD- but I came across the sketch I had eugeugeh. I do not have many headcanons but behind the cut is just a rant about. Kenny mostly. Too much should I warn? But yah I'm sorry it took me like 5 months lol

The only headcanon (regarding Ben's appearance) is that he'd keep his school jacket for as long as possible. Until it thorns apart. Or until he dies.

I'm big fan of Ben lives possibility btw I've gotta draw sum about that sometime (I say, about every twdg character i like,)

And dude, do I agree about Kenny. Man doesn't belong in season 2. The character they made him to be in the second season is not Kenny, it's just a nostalgia element. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, I'm biased as hell, I break that hug choice every time. But it made the character development in the first season just.... pointless. "For some reason, I saved that piece of shit Ben", man, that quote just disappoints me. Kenny lost everything. Father and husband of none no more, which was pretty much the arc of Kenny on the first season?? I think? . Everything he loved and he had he lost, and he killed the person responsible for it. But not as revenge, he killed a kid out of mercy. He saved the boy from suffering a painful death, and that was forgiveness, to the reason he hadn't any. He took a decision he would be fully responsible of, when it was time for him to go. And he was perfect.

Hell, if he had appeared during season 2, I do prefer the Kenny as Carver idea. Clementine wasn't even that close to Kenny in the past, the player was, so even then it feels... off, off to be forced to care about a man that says so much he wants to protect you. (They're not really family, but is as if Kenny tries to protect and have Clem on his side, to have Clem's loyalty through and through. Though he does let her go and is proud of her on her individuality... hm.) But still, I mean, second season Kenny is not first season Kenny, and it isn't even a change that made sense. If he had been antagonist (which pretty much feels like it in the Canon story already), he should have had some other background story, no Sarita or company. Maybe then the cynical view he has would have mattered. The violence and anger and whatever else. For him to change that way was a consequence of him losing what he represented, protection of family? Wasn't failure and grief and acceptance meant to be important after all?

But otherwise yea I think it would've been pretty cool if Ben survived :3 I am a sucker for tales of redemption, forgiveness, and found family. And I hadn't thought about Kenny, Ben, and Sarita, but hell yeah. Man, even if they appeared in the second season, it would've been interesting if the choice wasn't between two individuals, but between two families. Ben already had a relationship with Clem! He appreciated her and calls her his only friend during season 1, he did leave her behind during that scene, -but the point of Ben was that- He was a coward all the season, until when he wasn't. He wanted to help Lee help Clem. They would've had an interesting sibling relationship-? also Ben had a young sister before the apocalypse so ooooh projection and parallels and shi. And if Ben had lived, he would've completed his development to something close to bravery-?

Well, I don't know, at least I think that'd be one interesting way to bring back old characters. Otherwise, Kenny should only be mentioned on dialogue maximum. The way I see it.

(I repeat the same thing over and over when I talk about something I'm sorry

Disc World Book Club Thoughts- Monstrous Regiment

Pages 33-62

Hey @anna-neko, and uh anyone who's still following this... haaaa remember this....

Anyways, ha! Me when I lie!!!! Look, the end of the semester started kicking full gear and then holidays but I'M BACK(what I always say, but I swear I mean it this time!) Ugh, as I keep reiterating in this series, reading hard for me, not because of the act of reading in itself, but the motivation it requires for me to stay focused long enough on a book to actually finish it. In the past I was using the the audio book for quick 5-20 minutes stints, but I was mostly doing the combo of audio+book because I want to process everything. Anyway, I made the executive decision to treat this book like a podcast which means I am missing more little details BUT it has made getting through the book easier. That sounds like the book is a slug to get through, and that's not true, I'm really enjoying this book. It's just, getting my brain to actually start reading is a hassle and a half. I've gotten through an hour of book in a week though, so that's pretty exciting!

Anyway, onto scatter book thoughts as I was having them!

YOOOOO SOMEONE'S PREGOOO

Yah you spoiled that to but I finally got that point! Also, I forgotten WHO it was but was SHUFTI

Actually we have a small problem where I just can't remember half of the casts names so ESPECIALLY their last names, but me as of 1/8/2024 has written their full names down so hopefull I'll remember now. Also I read Blouse's fanwiki cause I forgot who he was and spoiled myself a little but nothing too serious I don't think. Oopsies! Anyways, I have their names written down so no more confusion!

EYOOO STRAPPI'S A COWARD AND THEY'RE GONNA FIGHT IN THE FRONT LINES

The way I was thinking "Polly's crossdressing!" like no, she's literally just being her normal gender!!!!! We love a girl crossdressing as a guy crossdressing as a girl.

In all seriousness, I really enjoyed that whole sequnce of her beating up guys crossdressing as a girl, and the Maldict joining her and the whole Jackrum taking the as prisoners and talking to them. Just a fun section of the book I really enjoyed. I love Polly and Maladict's friendship! It's so fun, and they got great chemistry

Also, interesting how the whole thing is that men go to war cause they're strong and stuff, but the first enemies Polly fights, she does as a girl. Idk just neat!

Also I've already mentioned this, but I'm obbssed with Polly as a character, she's so interesting because she's so judgy of the others. And she's the epitome of the "I can tell crowd."(looks at her being surprised that Tonker's a girl) Obviously, she's not doing it for transphobia reasons, but it's facinating to me how her stress of getting caught and stuff leads to her being overly critical of how the other girls are trying to pass. Like, Lofti got caught for saying "sugar" but Polly caught herself not cursing either, also I think she starts making the active effort to curse more after that. Just interesting how she adds on her act of being a guy with everyone else's mistakes.

American moment: Me learning bugger is vulgar?????

YOO THEY'RE REVALING THEMSELVES!!! I thought Maladict was included in that, but I guess not cause she was interrupted.

Also I think???? Jackrum is openinly showing he knows???(lets be real he knows they're girls). He refered to them as ladies but then used he/him for Polly, so I'm kinda confused on that front, but I'll just wait for a scene will clarify that for me

Also learning they’re reasons for joing are all pretty interesting!

Anyways this quote was cool (quote bellow)

It was for the other one, the little lesson that life sometimes rams home with a stick: you are not the only one watching the world, other people are also people, while you watch them they watch you, and they think about you while you think about them. The world isn't just about you.

OH DEATH MENTION!!!! This is a war book so he'll probably appear in this book. Obviously I don't want any of the characters to die, but I've heard GREAT things about Death, so I'm excited to meet him!(hopefully is a near-death moment and not a real death moment, but lets face it, someone's gonna have to die)

They're cutting to Vimes and stuff, and they're defineitly some "wink wink" "nudge nudge" moements that I'm missing, not to say that I'm not understanding anything, but I can just tell I'm in the know, you know. That being said, the sections with Vimes are pretty intresting and Angua seems pretty cool.

Also idk why but "bitch" caught me off gaurd??? Apparently they've been cursing and shit thorughout the book but bitch is the first curse word that actually means something to me. I'm sure they've said some other curse words that I recognize but I stopped reading the books for a couple a months. Also I have the mouth of a sailor, so it's not like a care, I guess I'm just confused that it surprised me. Also, Polly herself said she doesn't curse much so that probably means that the curse was light in the book since it's in her POV(also, curse words like "damn, bastard, etc. mean nothing to me")

Also I don't know how elaborate on this besides, "Wow, this is totally not a commentary on how British people view Christianity and the royal family!"

[insert pic]

Yah yah, jokes aside, I grew up agnostic and in the US, so not much to say beside monarchy bad(hot take am I right) Tho, tbh even the obvious connection is the royal family, man sometimes to does seems like certain groups worship politicians on a religious level. Also, there is smoothing to be said about a lot of manipulation tactics of authoritarian governments is the whole 'make them have problems' and then say, "I am the solutions to all your problems." And so with all the abominations being things that are so bad that it leads to the citizens not being able to eat well, it makes it easier to get the population to manipulate say that "X" is the bad guy.

Interesting seeing Polly have disphoria. I don't know if that's the terminology they would've used when the book came out, but Polly being like "damn, do I really that convincing as a boy" and feeling akward that everyone was 100% sure she was a guy. Like that is the goal, cause she's trying to be undercover, but also it's weird knowing people percive you the wrong gender, you know.

Also side note but I recently watched Blue Eyed Samurai, so spoilers for the first ep, but Mizu is also an undercover girl, and it's like damn, it like, in alot of these stories, these women are able to pass as guys cause they're natrual frame helps them alot in that regard. Like I have pretty boxy frame, so maybe when I was younger I could've passed as a guy if I tried, but me now, that would be way harder cause of my chest. And idk like, man it'd be cool if I could try to pass as another gender pretty easily you know?? I'd just have to work on my voice cause it's super high. Tho, I have been gendered as a guy cause of my hair + buttondown combo, so who knows, maybe I could. Anyway, back to the story

Not me reading a really dark scene of Polly and Maladict finding bruttally murdered bodies and laughing at the, "they would not grow older" line. SOLL GET IT TOGETHER!!! Anyway, despite what that sentence may imply, that whole scene was like, wow that's dark. Like the scene in Mulan right after girl worth fighting for.

Watching Polly gasp for air was like AAAAAAAH

Also Maladict having to contain herself cause of the blood, just an intresting scene!

I'm surprised Polly was saying " I thought we were the good guys" cause she seemed to have pretty good media literacy(for being a Boragravian) like, she was mention how the newspapers would proabbly not be trustworthy(cause she only knows her current governement), and she knew that the whole "Boragravia is winning" stance that everyone was saying is wrong. Also way back earlier in the book she talks about there always being a war, but I guess she wasn't being satrical??? (here's the quote)

There was always a war. Usually they were border disputes, the national equivalent of complaining that the neighbor was letting their hedge grow too long. Sometimes they were bigger. Borogravia was a peace-loving country in the midst of treacherous, devious, warlike enemies. They had to be treacherous, devious, and warlike, otherwise we wouldn't be fighting them, eh? There was always a war.

Guess Polly wasn't immune to propaganda (insert Garfield pic). I guess it makes sense tho, cause it's hard to process that your homecountry does horrible shit.

Also intresting how Jackrum dismissed it, like, I guess I thought he'd be more in the know that the government aint the best. Idk, he's pretty intresting, cause Idk his full stance on things. He telling Blouse that the news is coming from the enemy, but like, it's hard to deny that Boragravia's doing well. Guess that now that he's fully encharge we get to see him more than him just him being a nice relif from Strappi. Anyway, WOW Jackrum is a nuanced charcter???!!! Sarcasm aside, I think I need to read a bit more get my full thoughts on him.

Also something something, they're getting deprogrammed(for example, shufti and wazzer realizing they're losing) through experiencing war.

Anyway TONESHIFT Polly trying not to kill Blouse while shaving him is hilarious

K where I left off!!! Strappi(or so Polly thinks, and I'm inclined to believe her) has stolen a bunch of shit from the girls, so shit's about to go down. Poor Maladict doesn't have her cofee, and POLLY'S HAIR IS MISSING.AAAAAAH! Tbh, I thought her letter from Paul would be missing, so at least she still has that.

It's like 2:00 rn, so I'm pretty tired but I'm pretty hooked on the book rn, and maybe this semester I'll read more! Well, Feburary's gonna be busy cause I'll be auditioning to schools, but I'll try to make space to read. Also apperantly the hoopla has sections they've marked as chapters???? Tbh, it's proably whenever the audiobook plays the little military music. Anyways, I think another issue with the discworld books is that Terry Prachett doesn't do chapters, so I don't have that dopamine hit of "chapter completed!" But yah, maybe I'll try to keep track of the "chapters," to see if that motivates me more. Anyway, uh, I'll proabbly quee this for like 3:00 cause it's 8:00 in England and the book series is more popular over there. Okay, think that's it I'll talk next week.

Ps: idk how I indedent in the bullets, did it by accident on laptop and then copypasted it, I don’t know how I did that

a tier list honeyblock fics as ranked from serving least cunt to most cunt

suck eggs my dude - it's good i do like this fic and all it's just not lifechanging or anything. it used to be my most hits fic for a reason (wide interest base but still an easy read) and that's okay

i think that you're worth keeping around - huntlow is cute

one will die before he gets there - it's a missing scene. it's good. bound by the constraints of canon but good

how does summer end? - i should rewrite this as an actual short story or something bc 8k just isn't cutting it but it's already way longer than it really should have been. but i still like the vibes

a monster's here (are you still in there?) - the lack of luz centric hollow mind fics is a scourge upon tumblr's trending tags of early 2023. i'm doing my part.gif

you're the fool i'm just as well - yeah nice. thumbs up. sick pearlo is fun

they say we are asleep until we fall in love - well this one is a wip currently so. anyway the fairytale vibes are key but i think i'll only know if they were pulled off right when i reread the whole fic after i'm done. could bump up another two slots if so

castling kingside - vibes! vibes. first foray into cquirkyduo nonsense

it's called freefall (let me show you how) - ok i wouldn't necessarily call this one a Cunt Serve except for the last scene. except the impact of that last scene is contingent on the 11k that came before it. you get me

sacred and dust (the rest of us) - ok this is my fic with the most hits ever and it's about two minor characters in a childrens tv show that at the time had a collective like 4 mins of screentime. and some people said they cried over it. cunt serve

all's well that ends - i've said this fic better achieves what i set out to do with cause most of us are bitter but that fic is my super special baby so it barely scrapes in afterwards. anyway another case of a lot of people said they cried. idk if it counts as a cunt serve because it's such a bummer but genuinely this is one of my highest quality fics imo besides the typos so cool

cause most of us are bitter over someone - i peaked at the dinner argument scene and have been chasing that high ever since. cunt serve

and you caused it - okay biased but the underground city getting fucked up beyond belief and niki having a screaming crying breakdown that effectively halts her misery-spiral-attempt at what she thinks is a redemption arc so badly that tommy has to get techno to do a welfare check on her is a concept that deserved a Full fic written about it. oops.

you think they'll make it? - showstopping. why write a whole hadestown au when i could just write this scene? doesn't overstay its welcome and hits the exact vibes i wanted. RIP hellhound fungi you didn't deserve that but i enjoyed writing it

rousseau's man in the state of nature - YES i'm biased bc it's my baby but this fic has no reason to exist and does anyway. i had to ban myself from listening to loscamp while writing my research paper bc otherwise i would have had to submit three freaks bitching at each other and having horrible friendship breakdowns to the australian journal of yadda yah. act 2 is calling me

writers block this writers block that. is there anything worse than writing something and thinking to yourself, this does not serve cunt

↳˳☁️;; ❝ LIYUE PT2 ᵕ̈ ೫˚∗:

where I sort liyue characters to real places in china based on their personality

read pt 1 here !!

these are based on my opinion (and the internet) as someone who is from shaanxi

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

xingqiu

this man radiates rich guangzhou energy too idk how to explain but you get it okay (I bet his brother is HOT too) and for some reason I can hear them speak cantonese

people from guangzhou are pretty mature, they value honesty as well as family. honestly in my opinion, they just want to live a simple life without worries and have fun

I have a guangzhou friend and their family is SO NICE

ganyu

jiangsu is really pretty, this place just fits ganyu so well

idk how to explain but they're like water ??? calm, cool, loves peace and quiet, being around them makes you feel at ease, they just seem so full of knowledge and wisdom. oh and they don't really like to bother others even if they need help

beidou

I don't think I even need to explain for this woman, if she isn't from dongbei I have no idea where else she could possibly come from

they are extremely friendly and enthusiastic, is REALLY good at drinking, they are very loyal and honest. one thing that really stands out about them is that if you don't 'attack' them, they won't 'attack' you, but if you do attack them, then good luck to you <3

I didn’t mean to rhyme

yanfei

lots of anhui people are business masterminds so like ... yanfei

these people are really smart and they adapt to changes very quickly, they are also very kind hearted and straightforward with whatever is on their minds. I don't have much to say about them because they are just really intelligent

chongyun

he's so simple and quiet but he's really cute <3 I think guizhou fits him really well

people from guizhou are similar to those from jiangsu (ganyu), they are calm and collected and values tradition very much, they don't ask for much in life, so even the simple things can make them really happy

apparently, many of them are good drinkers too

baizhu

I hope we get to play him soon :( also the live action mulan actress is from hubei and if you have watched her other shows / movies / interviews before she's really straightforward

and I think applies to baizhu too, hubei people will put all their attention on something / someone that they love, they are really fun to hang out with and outgoing BUT they are very cautious of strangers so yah

xinyan

fun fact, I actually wanted to put geo daddy here but then I decided not to because gansu describes xinyan more

they are honest, kind hearted, down to earth, optimistic and just overall very fun human beings to hang around with. but they can be stubborn at times and no matter how much you convince / talk to them, they would still go with what they think

qiqi

yeah ... I just feel like she's from hebei

people from hebei are pretty reserved and do not like to share their thoughts, they also value tradition a lot and lack a sense of adventure AND THAT IS COMPLETELY FINE because not everyone likes to just run to danger for fun

a/n : do note that these are just general ideas and everyone is different

pt 2 is done !! all the liyue characters are here (except yaoyao and yunjin because I don’t know them that well yet)

hope you had fun reading this <3
