[spoonbenders-archive]

unrelated to anything and definitely not at anyone i follow or my mutuals or nothing. would never follow anyone who i didnt totally vibe with thats a promise. Now that thats over with: The subset of people who claim to be hardcore and fucked up who are just really unpleasant and not at all fun people to be around are such a specific genre of guy that i have grown to despise. You can be not really friendly or antisocial or not one for conversations or whatever thats literally ok. but you gotta be at least kind to people or else noones gonna like your miserable ass. Oh im so mean and rude and people cant handle me....Bitch people dont like you because you refuse to be a decent person. IDGAF if you listen to death metal Engage in a conversation without being a cunt challenge

[stellarcobweb]

have i ever mentioned tht whenever i think of the web i just go "thats just my mom?"

(putting a break in here bc after typing everything out, its more of a ramble than i thought it would be)

like. specifically in my own weird as hell way. as well as like *insert my conpantheon and soft polytheism, certain aspects and presentations can be forms that make it easier to talk to and influence humanity*

for whatever reason i look at like. moon/primordial void/mother as being very very VERY Web . using Smirkes detailing of the Fears (which . i think its a lot more nebulous than that but whatever)

also its DEEPLY funny to me that like. my system name for the longest time and even now tbh was Maratus, with collective name Mara for short. Maratus is the peacock spider genus

as well as my Thing abt weaving fate together, getting into tatting lace and crochet, wanting to get even more into like. honest to god spinning and weaving and knot magic and stitch magic in my practice

AND ALSO. final nail in THAT coffin. someone did an energy reading on me once and straight up got fullblown spider demon vibes off of me? w the concept of "you can literally spin ur own web" as something they noticed. which is just. FASCINATING.

+ my energy being called sticky and/or web-like on multiple occasions

like. thinking of terms that i would consider myself w the Fears that ARENT the spiral (bc i am first and foremost an Avatar of the Spiral).

Child of the Web feels a lot better than any of the others? bc im not a Victim, Avatar, or even really necessarily Marked imo. its just like. thats who created me? thats who made me and who built me out of nothing? thats who legit created my soul? if nobody has my back, i know my Mama has my back! its a more personal relationship than anything else honestly. just like. wholeass that is my Mother and i am absolutely my Mother's Child. you *could* consider me marked from birth but idk that doesnt feel OR sound right

(also im a pretty doll :) i mean Doll and dollself are legit. identity at this point. both for coping reasons and xenic reasons. in both marionette AND bjd ways. im not human! and have never ever felt human!)

+ Marked by the Lonely . bc yeah former Victim WOOOOO my childhood was AWFUL!

ik theres an Eye association w me but i have no idea what it is. shrug. research is my hobby and i legit live for doing it. also it def feels nice to chew on info when im researching, very satisfying. no i dont think im an Avatar, and im definitely not a Victim. the Eye just straight up doesnt scare me. tbh i think theres *potential* for Avatarhood fr me at some point but if it happens it happens idrc either way. i just exist!

...honestly Victim of the Corruption would also apply to me but i take a very "if i dont see it it doesnt exist" approach to that and its not anything active in my life . fr the most part. so shrug

YKNOW. the Dark would be called my parent too. i dont think of that part of things as often as i do my Mom but like. Child of the Dark also fits here. i mean . "Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow" is something that i take fully as identity. (yes thats a line from Landscape by Florence and the Machine). also it connects to my former beliefs abt Leviathan = soul parent and what is he but associated with the abyss, water, and darkness

ngl its also funny looking at that from the concept of like. my eyes practically cannot handle any direct sunlight. it hurts them so bad ;;v;; like my eyes are ridiculously sensitive to light and i have insanely good night vision somehow. i know literally nobody else like that. also the concept of the Void is deeply comforting actually. vantablack :)

also unrelated slightly but A Fathers Love is my favorite episode out of literally all of the ones ive heard on TMA. like its just the best one ever

[karamell-sweetz]

very random post but… i am a lipgloss enthusiast and here is my thesis statement on whether or not the proseka ocs would wear it and how often and what kind. hapoy new year.

L/N

ichika: doesn’t wear it too regularly but she’s probably saki’s most frequent test subject.

saki: LOOK AT ME. DEAD IN THE EYES. AND TELL ME SHE DOESN’T OWN EVERY TYPE AND SHADE TO EXIST. okay thats an exaggeration but she owns a sizeable amount. ya know, youth. clear, brightly coloured, flavoured, glittery, you name it she’s got it.

honami: i feel like she would actually. very simple shades tho, frequents a soft red gloss.

shiho: least likely to wear it regularly but definitely has a few flavoured lip balms. or ones that are shaped like cute animals.

MMJ

mmj would generally wear makeup more often than the other groups, what with the idol job and all. they probably have a stream section dedicated to beauty products, or at least get some collabs with them (cough cough stain busters)

minori: yeahhh she would. she’s giving me tinted lip balm vibes. she would look sooo nice in red btw.

haruka: a regular wearer mainly for skincare purposes. she’d worry more about the nutrients and moisturising stuff than the colour of it, but she probably owns some lightly tinted ones that she found filled her criteria.

airi: literally has a card of her putting lipgloss on. of course she does. mostly shades of pink lip gloss, but i think she’d own some glittery ones.

shizuku: has probably worn a lot of shades for her model job, most likely wears some regularly because skincare is important for an idol. because she’s shizuku she looks good even in clear lip balm, but i think she’d frequent a lightly tinted balm. a peachy colour maybe.

VBS

kohane: probably doesn’t think about it very often, but being friends with minori probably means trips to buy makeup. strawberry flavoured lip balm vibes.

an: hmm yeah i think she might? just some simple clear gloss tho, or a red gloss. nothing too crazy.

akito: a hard no. ena probably forced him to try some on for her at some point in the oast but he’d never wear it willingly. i’m not sure what his skincare stance is so i think his lips are just forever chapped. sorry akito.

toya: also a no. i can’t think of an excuse for him wearing any so he’s out of the picture for this one. MAYBE clear lip balm.

WXS

tsukasa: i think he’s the most likely out of the boys to be wearing lip product regularly (ya know, skincare and stuff…) but i don’t think he’d wear anything too crazy. prolly just a clear moisturising lip balm, or maybe a flavoured one. saki has probably put some crazier things on him though. also, stage job requires some level of makeup and from past experience this also applies to the boys, so maybe a nude lipstick when he needs it??

emu: OH MY GOD she owns a lot probably. look me dead in the eyes and tell me she doesn’t have at least ONE glittery lip gloss. i think she’d really be into the flavoured kids ones tho. she probably owns some insane colours too. the other day i saw a mint green lip gloss and wasn’t too sure what to think of it. emu probably owns it. idk.

nene: not an avid wearer but she owns a few. i think a cute coral red would suit her… emu probably bought her some flavoured ones too.

rui: hmm rui’s a hard one because he definitely would own some but he also wouldn’t wear it? to me he’s that guy who just splashes water on his face and somehow still has clear skin?? anyway thats unrelated. he’d own some (most likely flavoured lip balm) and forget to put it on because he’s off in the clouds about shows. he looks good in it tho. rui kamishiro gender icon of the decade.

NIIGO

kanade: no. mizuki tries to get her to wear some but she probably forgets. i really can’t see her wearing any at all!

mafuyu: clear lip balm. has not considered anything else (or rather her mom didn’t let her consider anything else). mizuki probably put some light tints on her.

ena: of course!! resident selfie girl probably owns a lot and wears it extremely regularly. mostly very normal makeup shop shades.

mizuki: you cannot convince me that the cutest in the world would NOT have any lip product. mizu probably owns a lot more lipstick than anything else since they dress up often, but they also own some glosses.

feel free to add on or agree/disagree with anything i’ve put here!! <3

[bokettochild]

Weekly check in with stardust

i have been creating a lot of stuff and im nearly done with my online science course and should be done by the end of this week!

the other week was eid and ur girlie made sweets, dressed up, visited a friend, and made Mario Lego B) I also got stickers for my laptop but that's unrelated lol

also we made bakhlawa and makrout they are literally my favorites lol, even the people at my friends party seemed to really like them too lol

apparently I look really good in olive green so that's like also a major win for me

the stickers are like vintage looking florals ones lol

btw I've been working so much on my four swords DND au, I'm not sure what to call It tho? I was thinking like "Four Keys" because the swords are literally keys to a secret realm or whatever

btw have u had any good recipes recently? Im fasting just because I can and rn I'm just thinking about food lol

i made a fajita tonight using colored peppers too lol

if u have any good recipes please tell me I love hoarding them

btw, I have one character left with enough space for an additional trauma/mental issue on my roster for the au so honestly just send me a few different ideas for them and I'll probably choose one lol

btw the dudes got the thickest Russian accent, is very brutally honest, soft and gruff, non nonsense and needs to adopt every small thing in sight or else he will die because this is how he's coping.

he was stuck in like an iceberg for like 200 years (there's a wholes Tory behind that) and then we he emerged (thats also a story) everyone he knew is kinda super dead because of the passage of time

*someone saying something stupid*

"Your voice, very ugly, please, do the shut up :] "

thats him in a nutshell^

also remember to do wrist and finger stretches for writers and artists

also I acquired a glass orb with glass art inside <3 o r b

also what's legend's irrational fear?

also I love legend being like, an actual good influence on wind in his own weird way

i want them to bond more, maybe do a whole stealing heist from some knights-

im not asking u t write it but I just wanted to share lol

i hope you've been doing well, u seem to be lol

also do u like wearing jewelry? and if so how often lol

Wow, that's a wall! (pos)

I'm glad you got to enjoy some nice food, time with friends, and dressing up! Also, it sounds like you're having a ton of fun creating recently! I am as well, but it's slow going as I'm working on a multi-chap that's very demanding about where and what is supposed to happen (I did this to myself but the results are fantastic!)

"Four Keys" sounds like it has great potential as a title! I like it! I also love the Russian accent. the character is giving slight Captain America vibes, but only for backstory, and I love the concept so much!

As for a irrational fear..... ma am I bad at those I rationalize anything so... maybe large empty spaces? Usually those are indicative of a boss fight in his mind, so just having one that isn't hiding some threat throws him way off. He's also insanely wary of any room with a tiled floor. Because >:)

I also love him and Wind! The fact that they're both on the younger side here but also both accustomed to being the person others look to gives great opportunities for them to bond and interact. Legend has a lot of experience to share but he's also not up on a pedestal like Time or Warriors is, so there's more opportunity for direct communication and less a need to impress. (I actually just finished writing something with them, as it happens!)

I'm honestly not the best baker in the world, or cook in general (I'm still building up my recipe book after leaving my parent's house) but I can share my mum's bread recipe! It's very good, for every day, or to make into rolls for the holidays and with nice meals!

Recipe makes 4 large loaves btw

Dissolve 2 packages of dried yeast into 4 cups of warm water.

In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup soft butter with 1/2 cup of honey (you can also add 1/4 cup of molasses for super dense rolls/loaves).

Once the honey-butter is combined, add the yeast water to the bowl

Scoop in 6 cups of whole wheat flour + 4 cups white flour.

Mix, knead, and set into greased bread-pans, or roll into balls on a cookie sheet.

Bake loaves for 35-40 min at 375 F, or rolls for 10-15 min at the same.

After you remove it from the oven, brush generously with butter before they cool, for extra flavor and to preserve moistness.

Hope this one makes you happy! It's great to use in sandwiches, serve with soup, or eat with jam, or alone!

i was literally thinking earlier today: damn i love MsBreezy's videos, i should go watch some more of her stuff for some good vibes,, maybe in a bit

completely unrelated, i just saw she apparently deleted her whole ass channel bc of drama with meatcanyon, so fuck me i guess.

guess one of my favorite creators (who unrelatedly was prolly the first MtF creator i ever saw on the internet, so yk thats not important to me or anything) just evaporated her entire channel with years worth of content on it

You know, you ever wonder where exactly the Smurfs actually come from? Papa Smurf just gets 100 kids outta nowhere??? Like, I know in universe a stork brings em but that implies that there are other smurf villages out there… AND THERE IS!! I mean, we see an all girl village in the 3rd movie! So like…. Did papa steal baby Smurfs from their own villages???? Maybe???

Or what about how Papa smurf named the rest of the Smurfs?? Baby smurf is still baby Smurf (implying that he doesn’t have a personality yet other than baby) and I get why he would name Brainy and Hefty that way (as it is their best attributes) but NOBODY SMURF? SCAREDY SMURF? LAZY SMURF?? Who the HECK names their kid that way??? That’s literally saying that your name is all that you are and all that you’ll ever be! I know Papa ain’t their real dad, but he is their guardian. Papa smurf really picking favorites out there…

Or what about how the Smurfs operate like a cult??? They all eat together, they don’t have proper names (I get that it could be their culture to name Smurfs after personalities… but Smurfwillow doesn’t DO that with the girl Smurfs, they are named after nature instead…), papa smurf is the ONLY one to wear red, the rest have to wear white (with few accessories and whatnot), not to mention that there is only ONE smurf to do each profession. Chef, Baker, Farmer…. They are feeding a hundred Smurfs every day BY THEMSELVES!! I get that they like doing their job and all but it’s incredibly inefficient to have one person do a big job!

Also, the Smurfs NEVER say anything bad about papa! Especially Brainy…. They follow Papas rules no matter what! He’s lived for 500+ years he definitely knows what he’s doing! They never question him and whoever does get some serious consequences. Idk about you but I feel some HEAVY cult leader vibes from papa.

Speaking of the poor Smurfs, THEY GOT SO MYCH TRAUMA WTH??? I’m watching the new Smurfs show with me lil’ sis and I might be overthinking it but here’s what I got:

Vanity: Poor lad has extreme body issues holy shit!! He has a constant need to feel perfect and view himself as perfect or else he ain’t! That why he constantly views himself in the mirror. There’s one episode in the new show where he turns into a lizard, poor lad was like 2 seconds away from a mental breakdown…. Geez those other Smurfs were mean to him….

Brainy: this guy has like the MOST trauma. I can’t even begin to describe how effed up he is. He constantly gets berated/ abuse by the other Smurfs (especially Hefty)! Even by Papa Smurf himself!! And he views Papa as a fucking SAINT! He’s so delusional and THATS LIKE NOT EVEN HALF OF EVERYTHING???

Lazy: IM PRETTY SURE HE HAS NARCOLEPSY??? He sleeps so much so often and he doesn’t get checked out?? Instead, the other Smurfs either laugh at him and don’t really do anything??

Grouchy: In the live action Christmas special (2011 I think) Papa LITERALLY gaslights Grouchy into becoming thankful that he has a hat!! Papa puts him through night terrors all because Grouchy didn’t want a stupid HAT for Christmas.

Welp, these are all my thoughts!!

Grouchy also has brain damage in the new show and in the comics!

Anyways if you think the new show is fucked up watch the 80s show. Featuring:

Papa literally beats up Lazy in one episode.

SO much fucked up stuff with Brainy holy shit. At one point Brainy questions Papa Smurf's decision, Papa throws him out of the village, and Brainy "corrects" himself to agree with Papa.

Papa drugs Dreamy and lies to him.

Lazy is suicidal in one episode. (Unrelated to Papa, but fucked up anyways)

Anyways. Fuck Papa Smurf, watch my AMVS.

Also watch this https://youtu.be/v-PacrragxA

Personally, the only dislike i had towards his recent movies was how he promoted them. I know those movies are not for everyone, but the movies have a lot of factors that I don't think people are considering. Sure, you can argue his acting could be better, but that doesn't really change if the story is good or not.

The bother for me was kinda how he didn't have a lot of respect, i guess (idk if that's the right word) while doing press for the movies. Like I know in the past, he's shown up for the press and goofed, but he would also talk about his processes while filming the movie and how much effort he put into it. And obviously, with the different roles he had in the movies, he would need different approaches to filming, so I wasn't expecting Marvel grade responses for his ghosted movie, but I still expected something you know?

I don't exactly remember what he said, but I remember for ghosted. Before the movie came out, he had an interview, and he called the movie like something to watch while drunk?? Or put on in the background?? And I was literally confused 😭. Like why, I feel like that's kinda shooting yourself in the foot. Like, idk if everyone who worked in the movie made a plan to promote the movie like that ... but if i worked on a movie and someone described it like that, I'd but like what the hell🧍‍♀️, or idk if that's just me 😭. I don't remember if he said anything else similar to that, but after I started getting the vibe that he liked, knew his movies were "bad"? I put marks because opinions are subjective but it'd seem like he wanted to promote it like that. At least that's what I get.

Maybe it's cuz he does want to chillax especially after a big project like marvel, but I don't think his mentality for these movies were "oh this movie dosent sound so good ... let me hop on that😈" 😭 i think he just saw it as a fun project to be in, which is completely valid, but when he has to talk about his work and try to sell it, it feels like it's not a job anymore 😭. I don't want to imply that like actors can't have fun when promoting a movie, but I remember for ghosted, TGM, lightyear and now red one where it's basically just talking about captain america (even though he has said he's done with that), playing weird games with the interviewers or just talking about vague topics 😭. For red one obviously he'd talk about Christmas but when every other question he is asked is just asking about how he celebrates THATS WEIRD. Like he's a 40 year old white man what did you expect him to do on Christmas, ask him something about the movie, or just interesting in general 😭.

I understand half the fault is at those interviewers who just ask the same questions over and over or those who just play obscure random games but I feel like chris evans should handle it differently. I will not lie i don't understand how actors and interviewers even decide how to proceed with the interview, idk if it's up to managers or publicist or whtv but I think there is some discussion before the interview even had to start right?? I'm no Hollywood actor but I feel like if I was in his shoes, with the games I would obviously be down but I would also talk about the production of the movie to respect everyone else who worked on the movie (like mentioning how filming was and how it is unique), if they'd bring up marvel I would try to respectfully shut it down and say like "hey that ended, you know, let's talk about the movie I'm currently in, you know? 😭". With the vague questions like how he celebrates Christmas, answer respectfully but also try to talk about how the movie is related to that at least, idk 😭. And I definitely wouldn't say watch while drunk like 😭😭😭.

(Speaking of, unrelated but not really, is it rude to show up to the red carpets drunk?? Just genuinely curious)

😮‍💨

Super sorry for the rant idk where it came from but I guess I needed to get it off my chest 😭

AND JUST TO BE CLEAR I DID NOT SAY THIS INTENDING TO BE HATEFUL TO ANYONE AND IM SORRY IF I OFFENDED ANYONE BUT THIS IS JUST MY OPINION 😭

And Thank You

You’re all good, I’d think many people probably show up drunk I doubt it’s just something he’s done lol

[cawecho]

YELL TO ME ABT PRE AND POST-TADPOLE SICARIUS!!! WHAT CHANGED WHAT STAYED THE SAME WHERE DID HE GET HIS NAME FROM Literally anything u wanna talk abt

(also slightly unrelated but he reminds of an orca a little bit idk if that was intended or not but i think thats really neat!!!!)

hi, OOPS this ended up being a little long, I am employing the keep reading button for the sake of the dash

I had been trying to figure out how to articulate it but after thinking on it for a while, I think the biggest immediate change really comes down to confidence (for a lack of a better word???)

Before the tadpoling, Sicarius knew his place in the world. He knew exactly who and what he is, what his (literally!) divine purpose was and how to approach it. He did everything with intention. He acted on his Father's will, and his will was inevitable.

After, Sicarius is just so utterly lost. Every part of him feels like a disjointed collage of disparate traits. And really compounding that is that before the sense of purpose was so important to him. The transition between a fairly normal child to the leader of his cult was built on the foundation that this is his purpose, this is inevitable, this is necessary as decreed by a higher power and he was made for this. Now it's all the confusion of his first kill with the desensitization of his adulthood. There's no moral question or disgust, just the loss of control and the uncertainty about what his relationship is to what sings in his blood when he kills. If it's how he feels or something foreign.

He's still pragmatic. He still prioritizes what he perceives as necessary over his desires, indulging only when the two align. Though before 'necessary' was mostly comprised of Father's will and the road to it, now the concept grows muddier. He's still a stranger to his needs. He still has the curiosity and love of learning, that before the tadpoling had mostly been sated by picking apart the dead and working out what makes the human body tick and all it's intricacies. He still calls nightwear/PJs jimjams. He still gets possessive when he's invested in or curious about someone before he starts to care, but there never stops being an emphasis on mine when he says my friend, my lover, me and mine. He still expresses love with acts of service and bullying. He still struggles to do things if he doesn't understand why he's doing it and what the point of it is. He still has a soft spot for creatives of all types. He still gets irrationally angry if you suggest he give creative endeavors a shot. He still thinks that the concept of having respect for the dead is stupid and dumb. He still, despite having no memory of why, firmly believes he can't die.

There's also how hunger is love is violence. Does that make any sense? It's all one enmeshed thing for him, deeply intertwined, it's all obsession and need steeped in some shade of red

As for the name, I swear I read something related to Bhaal that mentioned it and it stuck with me but I can't remember what the other contents of that text was and I cannot find it again for the life of me. It's also Latin for murderer, assassin. It's also a genus of spider, which the entire family of has a necrotic bite! Which I think is so fucking fascinating! I love spiders!! I am also horribly afraid of them and it annoys me so much because they are such cool buggers but my brain acts like I'm going to die from psychic damage if I'm within 5m of them!!! ARHG Anyway, this is also why I decided my Sicarius has a necrotic bite instead of a breath weapon.

In-world though Sceleritas just showed up and started calling him that. Post-tadpoling, he never finds out about the name he grew up with

The orca vibes are not intentional but they are happy accident, it IS neat! I'm still fiddling w his design but I feel like I'm honing in on something I like & it's really nice to see that other people seem to like it too

[opens-up-4-nobody]

[mmmthornton]

The main four SP boys are so funny and i wish more people appreciated how funny the dynamic and history between specifically the four of them are.

They're the coolest kids in school and everyone wanted to be their friend. No one likes them. When one died (semi)permanently, they ran a The Bachelor-type contest to pick a new bestie. They forced a kid to dress like their dead friend. The vibes were still off though so the dead kid came back. They're eight years old. They're ten years old. They're 9 years old. One of them has an alcohol addiction and depression. They've all seen each other naked. When one of them got herpes, he immediately passed it to the other three. These two things are unrelated. Three of them know the other is a psychopath who will kill people who get in his way and they're just like "wtvr". They hate each other more than anything. They cannot stop being best friends or it'll ruin the future of America. They would kill or die for each other. At 50 years old they still have hissy fits like children out in public over an argument none of them even remembers having. They're obsessed with each other. One of them gave another AIDS. They make each other so much worse for being involved in their lives. There is no low any of them could stoop to that the others would find it impossible to be their friend still.

When Chef said that they're friends "whether you like [each other] or not" he wasn't kidding. Its literally inescapable and thats so funny to their dynamic, why would you ever try to change that lol.

Fem-Losers Club Band Au

I’ve slowly come to accept that I shall never, ever, be able to write a losers club band au no matter how hard I want to so unfortunately for you I’m providing you.... headcanons

Eddie:

Eddie is the drummer. We’re getting that out of the way now. I’m accepting no arguments on this one!! Not one!! She’s very full of pent up rage and I think once she hits her breaking point with her mom she decides to do the biggest and most blatant fuck you she can which is loudly and aggressively hitting things with sticks! I think she deserves it!

She probably also can play guitar and bass a little if she needs to but they aren’t her main thing! She is the sort of manic-in-a-hot-way drummer who is much much tinier than people are expecting her to be because she’s always sitting down and it’s great!!! 

Richie’s Homosexual about it!!! 

She cannot sing, though, I’m the president of the Eddie Kaspbrak is tone deaf and knows it committee, sorry babes. 

People think she’s a little mean for sure because she can never do after show or spontaneous meet and greet stuff, her anxiety is just really bad after getting so keyed up on stage so if she runs into fans she’s really snappy but every interview they do she’s just very softly chaotic and if it’s planned unrelated to preforming meet and greet she really does like meeting people! She just gets overwhelmed and thats okay!

Stan:

Stan’s got keyboard vibes for sure. 

They probably also do backup vocals because as opposed to Eddie, I’m a strong supporter of the Stan Can Sing club.

But mostly she’s very quiet and sort of just vibes on the keys and people are,,, deeply in love with that. 

She gets a lot of tweets about how their underrated but it happens enough where they definitely are not underrated at this point. 

She also is probably the closest thing the losers have to like a band manager? They are 100% the only one anyone trusts to deal with finances and booking gigs because Stan is Scary and they will guarantee they get paid no matter what. (They got stiffed one time at some seedy venue and she has not forgotten, honestly the owners should be scared.)

They also definitely have some of those iCarly noise remote esque sounds loaded up on her keyboard but they only use them to fuck with Richie on stage. 

I also feel like she plays some out of pocket shit like the clarinet. It’s not often but theres always the chance for a little woodwind surprise wherever they go.

Richie:

Speaking of Richie, which I’ve done a lot so far, she can literally play anything. 

She’s adhd-autistic power combo and music is her Special Interest and she’s way too powerful. 

Like, for sure there are concerts where one or more of the losers is sick and she’s covering a different instrument every song, drums? Got it. bass? for sure. banjo? why the fuck not. recorder? you goddamn bet. keys? she’s probably trained classically because her parents thought it would help get her energy out as a child and were wrong! 

I think her main instrument is guitar though. On stage it’s usually electric, but theres definitely some tracks or videos on their YouTube where she does acoustic. 

Because she plays so many instruments though I think she writes a lot of the music in their songs, but not lyrics. 

She and Bev split the lead singer role! She’s a little less confident in her voice than she should be, or then like... anyone would think she would be, so she’s happy to let Bev take the lead but none of the losers are letting her totally shrink into the background. 

She also started their social media accounts and generally runs them, but she has never once successfully advertised anything, she’s just full on Bantering and TikToking 24/7 which does get them, to be fair, 80% of their listeners. 

Fan favorite for sure because she’s usually the first band member people know about but because of that sometimes people are... gross about it.

She’s musical theatre trained vocally which means her belt is insanely high and wild and when the losers can actually convince her to break it out it’s all anyone talks about for days after she does it online.

Bev:

Bev is technically the lead singer, if they had to choose one, even though she kinda splits the role with richie and there are some songs where the lead vocalist varies. 

She can kind of sort of play guitar if she neeeeeds to but she really doesn’t like it much. her hands are very small. A lot of times she is just ROCKING the tambourine like there is no tomorrow and I think thats beautiful. 

She does have a official, main instrument, though, and it is absolutely the fucking ukulele. There are A LOT of ukulele parts in their songs because you KNOW Bev was that bitch in middle school who made being able to play riptide their whole personality, she was quirky, she was not like other girls, and now she’s playing weird, indie, pop punk bullshit on ukulele for sold out venues. Good for her. 

She’s in charge of making sure everyone doesn’t look like shit too. She mainly handles their photo shoots and everyone has to run their concert fits by Bev for approval before they get one stage. 

She also designs a lot of their merchandise! 

No one has ever not fallen in love with Bev after finding their music, she is besties with every lesbian on the planet.

Bill:

Bill probably covers guitar and bass when she needs to, but mostly I feel like she just plays... weird shit? Like for some reason, in my heart of hearts, I believe with my whole chest that Bill is a saxophonist. Don’t question me on it there is nothing better than a band with a saxophone line and that is BILL!! Tell me its not!!!! 

She probably also plays the kazoo on at least one track, and played the marimba/xylophone in high school band which weasels its way into a lot of songs. 

No one knows how she makes these instruments hot. She is not aware she is making them hot. She definitely is though. 

Even though she’s not the lead singer she’s still definitely like the band ‘leader’, which confuses a lot of people just tuning in because she doesn’t sing at all (she’s pretty good at it, she’s just really insecure, the losers are working on it), but she usually takes charge with PR stuff and a lot of people mention her first when bringing them up. 

She definitely is the reason they all started the band in the first place.

I am a strong believer that they’re just called The Losers because if it ain’t broke don’t fix it but I think when they were just like 17 and playing in garages and uploading their stuff to Spotify they probably called themselves like ‘Bill and the losers club’ or something like that. 

She also definitely has a hand in writing a lot of their songs both lyrically and musically!

Ben:

Ben plays bass. Fight me on it but I’ll win. She plays bass! It just fits her personality! 

She’s supportive and important even if you forget she’s there a lot of the time and if anyone paid more than the minimal amount of attention to her she’d die. 

I think she honestly didn’t even start out wanting to be in the band at all actually? I think she started as their song writer mostly, and she’d just record parts for demos, but she was very very fondly bullied out of her comfort zone and into the actual band. 

While Stan is called the underrated fave ben IS the underrated fave, and she’s got a very small but deeply devoted fanbase. 

I’m also a big believer that Ben is a very, very good singer, but in a lovely country singer specific way, and Richie posts a video on their TikTok or something of her singing along to Dolly in the car or something and it sort of explodes. theres a whole twitter campaign to get ben to lead sing on an album and everything and Ben wants to murder Richie. like genuinely she is distressed. 

they release all the demo tracks she sings on to appease the masses but it’s super super rare to get her to sing anything live and takes the losers like ten to twelve business days and all the stars to align to get her to actually do it. 

(She does do it easily like... once exclusively to make Bev all flustered because country singing ben makes Bev very gay and I think thats beautiful. Gimme a Bev thats swoons just as hard over ben I DARE you.)

Mike:

Mike is main back up vocals for sure, and she is just... universally beloved. 

She is up there vibing no matter what and they have a couple songs she takes lead vocals in and it’s genuinely the best thing in the world. People are obsessed, I’m obsessed, it’s great. 

I think she prefers being back up though. She can have a lot more fun that way while hyping up her friends and thats honestly why she did this in the first place!! 

She’s got lil dances for a lot of the songs she makes everyone do with her for most of the songs. 

She switches instruments between bass and guitar, based on whats needed more in songs, and usually if theres acoustic in a live performance she’s gonna take it over, and Richie will just play the second part if they need two. 

Mike has the vibe of making every performance feel like a jam session with your best friends late at night in someone’s basement and it’s incredible and also means she is single handedly responsible for so many para-social relationships. 

She also is in charge of social media with Richie but while Richie is just drawing in listeners with the powers of goofs Mike is in charge of like... making sure people know when they’re going on tour,,,, when a new album drops,,, when they’ve got new merch. Her and Stan are holding this mess together. 

Like bill she also has a kazoo in her pocket at all concerts but unlike bill she only uses it for evil.

Anyway they’re all in love with each other and everyone is in love with them goodnight

Ooooo just to add a thought to your recent gold post, I don’t think Gold’s intense insecurity comes from something in his past, as you mentioned he had a pretty happy childhood and I personally don’t think his mom was neglectful, I think his insecurity started in gsc, with him thinking that he needs to be “special” to fit in with the other dexholders and he thinks he’s weak because he puts them up on an impossibly high pedestal and assumes that because he can’t reach it then he’s not worthy of being associated with them. If that makes sense. Also as a red enthusiast I would love to hear your red thoughts 👀

OUGH YEAH YEAH YEA THAT MAKES SENSE *ROTATES* ig I was inclined to look for where it may have came from in his past bc like I said Silver and Crys both had weird childhoods (technically Gold's was also weird but in a positive way LMAO) and its fun to find things all the characters in a set have in common but honestly that makes more sense and helps the story flow better so true

ALSO about Red. I struggle so much with wording my thoughts on Red he is more of a "putting him in the brain microwave and rotating him" type character than one I tend to have incredibly deep thoughts about for a variety of reasons . One mostly being that despite how often I reread frlg which is like . The Deep Thoughts About Red arc I rarely am able to remember significant chunks of it dissociative disorder moment ANYWAY

One thing thats funny to me about Red is how much of his past is like . Left up to interpretation. It took us a really long time to get more characters with completely unexplained absent families and Red's parents are . SO absent that in the Yellow arc it's revealed he doesn't even have a family name. When people contact him they just address it to "Red". While we know people ""mature faster"" it really doesn't seem commonplace for an 11-14 year old to live in a house Alone even if they're entirely self-sufficient. It's even more wack because the fact that he doesn't have a family is like Addressed but never explained . It's just a fact about him. He doesn't have a biological family.

I think its interesting bc it gives people a lot of room to mess with his character. I've seen a whole spectrum of how people portray Red's Situation and none of them seem particularly unbelievable because we literally Don't Know what happened there. And obviously it makes found family vibes more intense LMAO between Red's complete lack of a family, Green's half-absent-without-explanation one, and . Blue . LMFAO it's really no wonder these guys all end up basically adopting at least One of their juniors at some point. It's funny

Also side note unrelated I really appreciate how I've been seeing more people putting the effort into portraying him as disabled in fanworks recently 😭 as a kid w chronic pain I was always a little annoyed that the gsc arc went the route of the Magical Disability Cure even in spite of subverting the "disabled people can do anything they put their minds to!!!" trope. Seeing people share my headcanon that he still deals with chronic pain even if the Magic Hot Spring Water™️ helps makes me happy because while I understand why things happened the way they did ough . I want disabled rep (if that wasn't obvious from me cursing Green with my migraines /j)

[shame-kink]

unhinged rant about recent events in kill six billion demons and how it isn’t actually shitty queer tropes but also very well might be but its also not finished so who knows whats actually going to happen it makes my head hurt a bit i saw a comment on twitter mentioning it and my brain internalized the FUCK outta wanting to bring up that topic somehow somewhere all this is pointless i’m going to explode. SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ksbd: here! have some (questionably oversexualized) sapphics!

ksbd: here! have a character who was continually given transfeminine motifs actually (magic) transition! (for the record unlike the other parenthesis i don’t think this was badly handled much. (magic) is not a wince.) 

ksbd twitter: hey i know this is going to look bad and i promise i hate “this trope” (???? everyone assumes it is “bury your gays” but i don’t even know if that was what he was referring to????) but you gotta trust me

ksbd: ok so one of these disappears completely (and is implicitly dead by the others dialogue + not being seen later or anything) or die trying to save protag (also.... fellas devils can revive with their masks and they can have a *chance* at preserving *some* of their identities but. the mask fucking... *melted*. its a pile of sludge. three years in the narrative past. i’m not saying her making a comeback is *impossible* but the common “oh yeah allison will put the mask back together obvi” is so stupid) (also who knows if literally precidenceless angelhumans can revive like angels do. we do not know shiiiit yet)

ksbd: the omniscient character keeps implying that everything is prewritten and is rather ambivalent on whether our “hero” has the ability to still like. DO anything significant in the grand scheme anymore. like on one hand thats sorta implied but also like the insistence that free will is an illusion doesn’t mean that the character can’t actually start trying to Accomplish gay-people-who-died-related stuff anymore LMAO. like theres still an overall “give up and move on” vibe pervading all of this (which.... are we SURE “the trope” isn’t smth about “hero uses power of love to defy death” or some related shit like “hero... is a hero in the conventional sense and saves the day”? are we SURE this is about burying your gays or fridging women or something?? did abaddon say smth on discord or somewhere????) 

ksbd twitter: for once please take a character being defined one way (omniscent) at face value jesus christ guys (both related and unrelated to the whole Rocks Fall thing its just. added flavor to that whole last barely-can-even-be-called-a-paragraph)

ksbd: ok now that this whole depressing stint into our plucky implicitly-lesbian-but-never-actually-stated-to-be(PLEASE JUST CALL YOURSELF A DYKE ALICE. I. ACK. AUTHORS USE *WORDS* CHALLENGE) protagonist withering away completely is OVER, its DONE, the ultradepression segment is moving on, here comes *some guy!* (that people are making huge assumptions about being her ex-failed-fling and then making assumptions on top of that about him being here to try to help her somehow)

like, none of this is actually inherently shitty (well, none of the things that are actually the point of this, i dislike how cio and allison were framed since first official Couples Moment but that doesn’t REALLY factor in with this). gay people dying is fucking *fine* if the plot actually works. and i’m not actually worried it won’t! it *might* fucking suck but i’m not nearly as invested in “oh this is the worst thing on earth the author BETRAYED his gay fans” as the like two or three people in comments sections and tweets i saw (thus granting me this god damn thought cabinet affliction). the hyperbole that like three (other) people i’ve seen about “here comes some guy!” (which i will continue to mention like that bc even though i don’t take issue with it its FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) is just *delightfully* misplaced imo. but this is still stuff thats like... i don’t want to say trouble-ING but at the very least a bit trouble-SOME? its the kind of shit that’ll seem completely different (for better or worse!!) once the story actually finishes but for now is just like..... *Ehhhhhh...* 

(also a lotta people are more worked up about Cio which like, fair, she just got a god damn collectible statue made and has a massive sub-fanbase of her own, but like. she had arguably the *entire* comic being subtextually sapphic and about ~two books worth of being textually very much bi. white chain meanwhile transitions in a moment of triumph immediately before her moment of triumph gets blown the fuck up sflkdhlsdhlkhlkgsd. one (fucking LONG) fight scene later and she’s completely MIA and we have no *clue* how her dying would work out (though again thankfully for her that ambiguity means that unlike Cio her coming back to relevance one way or another is kiiiinda all but confirmed. like the possibility exists that she doesn’t get to reincarnate she’s a human now Git Gud Scrubs but that writing decision sucks so bad that not even my worst-faith version of the author would pull that lksfdjlkfsdljksfdjkl) so she’s just kinda In Limbo And We’re Supposed To Just Kinda Treat Her As “dead details pending”. it sucks ass.) 

but yeah all this is like. seeing hints of genuinely fucking terrible writing flaws but they don’t *actually* exist yet but they do but they don’t yes they don’t no they do </3. (also with a queer author i wouldn’t even bat an eye at this. like who cares. in my writing ideas i have a *terrible* track record at killing anyone but i strive for the guts to just drop pianos on my hapless transsexuals)

so all in all this was pointless but if i didn’t write it i would physically explode
