#the cryptid emerges

[thinkeral]

Yes, I like bsd. No, I cannot explain what’s going on for the life of me. There is a fidget spinner involved now.

[thinktankera]

There was exactly one episode of BBC Sherlock on my flight. I haven’t watched thjs show in years, I have zero recollection of this line. The way John just automatically responds with Asperger’s

I disagree. The most unrealistic thing is how no one has hopped off the stands to deck someone in the face

The most unrealistic thing about danganronpa is that everyone takes their turns speaking and class trials don't immediately devolve into obscene amounts of crosstalk and shouting

Aether and Lumine? Paimon too.

Thank you for the ask! :> I am going to split this not on Aether/Lumine lines but on Traveler/Abyss Prince(ss) lines, because, well, canon did set it up that way, and while if absolutely pushed, Lumine is my Traveler, I mostly prefer to be agnostic in my meta and fic about who is who.

TRAVELER

How I feel about this character

Ah, yes, Traveler von Protagonist Disease.

The thing that complicates the Traveler for me is that I absolutely loathe the kind of semi-self-insert-but-semi-independent-character protagonist that seems to be getting popular in video games these days. Byleth in FE3H is another good example. I wish they didn't exist! I wish that it was either a full self-insert, character-builder and all, or that they gave us a protagonist with a personality in the style of Tales Of and Final Fantasy games in the first place. I really enjoy roleplaying a character as I play a video game, whether given to me as a fully-realized character or as one I made up myself, and this in-between kind of robs me of that because I can't go full "this OC of mine believes this" and I also can't try for accuracy to the character I'm presented on-screen.

That said, they have been getting better about this with the Traveler over the last few nations, and I like the increasing sense of actual, independent personality that we've gotten for them! Obviously a protagonist of this kind of game, where all the others have to like the player character to make the gacha appealing, is going to want to help others, so I actually particularly like the occasional thread we get where they're like "no, I don't actually care half as much for Teyvat as I do for my sibling, I don't not care but my main mission is still to get to them" because it's very refreshing to me.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Childe with the Lumine version, as two people who can and will absolutely fuck each other up in a play-battle, post-fight sex optional but fun. (Also I once read a Childe/Lumine AU fic where Childe was attempting to pursue The Greatest Game with Lumine and she turned the tables and pinned him down with knives through his hands, and it was incredibly hot.) Ayaka, as a one-sided crush on Ayaka's part. That's... really about it.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Paimon! My bestest and beloved friend. :>

My unpopular opinion about this character

With a handful of exceptions, I... do not particularly enjoy Traveler-centered fic/art/meta. I don't know how unpopular that is but it's all I've got.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I know why Hoyo can't do this with their gacha game full of waifus and husbandos, but I wish we had at least one major/playable character who just did not get along with them. All their voicelines are along the lines of "you think I'm fucking telling you that?" I just want to see how it would play out.

THE ABYSS PRINCE(SS)

How I feel about this character

Honestly much more fascinating to me, in part because they've been a lot more allowed to have some kind of personality from the beginning! I want to know all about what's happened to them, why they hold the positions they do, why they give their twin so few crumbs, etc.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I mean. Dain. XD

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Aside from their twin, also Dain! Love their history.

My unpopular opinion about this character

This sort of overlaps with the second, but while I don't know how plausible or how unpopular it is, the mirror in the Caribert quest where the Traveler saw them in it combined with some minor previous stuff to unlock a Theory for me that the Traveler and the Abyss Prince(ss) aren't twins, but a single person with, for the Traveler, altered memories, whom the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles broke apart in order to nerf their power and/or for other reasons related to the whole "Fourth Descender broken up for parts" thing. Fascinating to me.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Related to the above: Hoyo, please give me this. For all the game's deliberate sibling analogies and their pleasing narrative resonance, this theory honestly has way more appeal to me overall.

PAIMON

How I feel about this character

My buddy! My bestest friend! :> I get mad when people are mean to her (in-game or people who choose those options in play). I get sad when she talks about being scared without us (@chrysoula has a theory that this is all foreshadowing a quest/arc where she's taken away and I think this is reasonably likely but I'm also dreading it). I refuse to believe the theories that she's evil, but I do love the theories that she's a reduced/de-powered version of Something/Someone in Teyvat's lore, that would be very fun. I want to give her so many hugs.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I do not. XD

My non-romantic OTP for this character

The Traveler, of course! :> I also love her rivalry with Itto. I love when characters treat her as a separate person from the Traveler and have their own relationships with her.

My unpopular opinion about this character

From what I've seen in the fandom... that I like her at all? XD;;

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Hoyo stop giving us options to be mean to her. She doesn't deserve it. >:( Appreciating and loving Paimon hours ONLY.

my habit of not turning on lights (not like i need to see) (i’m nearly blind anyways) and my proclivity towards wearing all black (hoodie and boxers) is scaring the hoes (my roommate) (sorry)

[thinkeral]

Got jumpscared today by my own cursed emoji art. Was NOT expecting to be checked by my hubris so soon. I have been humbled. Honestly just glad someone enjoyed the emojis enough to make it their pfp.

Anyway here’s the creature. Thinking of making this a proper series

[thinktankera]

Recently completed a 100% run of BOTW (yes that includes the 900 koroks. I was stuck at 899 for seven hours). Now starting to play TOTK and I hate how I can find these little shits very easily now. The things I’d do for a glorified poop.

[rumeraarts]

Heya! I’m running emergency commissions to help my close friend with their GoFundMe! You’ll donate directly to them and send me what you’d like drawn ❤️

Some more info in the photos below!

I know there isn’t much time left but if you can: Please make sure you have enough water for the days after the storm. If you’re not able to evacuate, please try and fill as many receptacles with clean/boiled water as you can and store them. It’s recommended to have at minimum 2 liters per day for an adult, and with pets you’ll need more. Fill pots and pans and any tupperware with as much as you can.

Make sure all your devices are charged as much as you can in case (when) power goes out.

If you think you might find yourselves and your pets trapped inside, have an escape route (windows, fire exits, etc). If you have access to an attic, make sure you have a fire axe! A lot of victims of Katrina were trapped in attics because of the storm surge and never made it out.

Thank you 💙 thankfully we did our prepping ahead of time, so we’ve got plenty of food and water. Everything’s gonna be charged and we’ve got power banks as back ups until we can get to family that have generators.

[botched-lineart]

There's a chill in the air and rainwater on the ground. Thank fuck
