Seeing some takes on the idea of shipping the Yaoqing trio together where people are deeply disappointed and getting moralistic about the age gaps, and saying it's a "bad" ship, and I just.

Listen.

This is a bunch of people who live a ridiculous amount of time. Foxians have the shortest lifespan here, and even they live up to 450 years old. That's insane. Jiaoqiu may have been an adult when Feixiao was a teen, but with a lifespan that crazy, I really don't think their actual age gap matters now that they're all clearly adults with full time jobs and stuff.

You're a long life species on the Xianzhou? When you say you like older men you could be talking about like, dudes in their thousands. You've got as many couples with age gaps in the tens as you've got in the hundreds. We can't reasonably apply normal person age gap ideas to long life species and we shouldn't be trying. Ultimately they're all adults in current canon and it's silly to claim they can't date.

I think it's totally fine if you prefer to view them as platonic or familial, all completely sensible interpretations as always, but you don't have to justify it by claiming that shipping them romantically is somehow bad and morally wrong. It's okay. Hold my hand. Look me in the eyes. You can interpret them as you like. And if the ages make you personally uncomfortable, that's fine, you do not have to engage with the ship, you can block the tag etc. but don't act like it's wrong for it to not bother others.

What squicks you out in fiction isn't universal. Just make peace and ignore it.

Pac: I don't know if you remember, we left Cell on an island with just a bullet and a revolver at his disposal and we fled. So, theoretically, we outsmarted* Cell and gave him what he deserved, understand? So, my headcanon, understand? You know? But the drawing was really cool.

[ *passar a perna – literally to deceive, but the direct translation is like a leg sweep, which is why Chat responds with "What leg?" ]

Pac: [Reading chat] What leg? Yeah, not the right one. Wait– not the right. Exactly. The left. Is it the left? Wait, which leg did I lose? [...] No, wait– the left, because my dominant leg is the right. So I will choose the left. [Reading chat] "You chose?" I like to think I had the power to choose.

Pac talks about Fuga Impossível lore and implies that Cell let him decide which leg he'd lose. 🔪

Pac: Guys, it's not the other way around, in my headcanon– in my headcanon– you have to know how to respect my headcanon. In my headcanon– because, I don't know if you remember, we left Cell on an island with just a bullet and a revolver at his disposal and we fled. So, theoretically, we outsmarted* Cell and gave him what he deserved, understand? So, my headcanon, understand? You know? But the drawing was really cool.

[ *passar a perna – literally to deceive, but the direct translation is like a leg sweep, which is why Chat responds with "What leg?" ]

Pac: [Reading chat] What leg? Yeah, not the right one. Wait– not the right. Exactly. The left. Is it the left? Wait, which leg did I lose? Oh sht... [Long pause] I don't remember, man. Oh, I don't know guys, I don't know. Did I decide? Oh, man. None? I'm kidding–

Pac: Well, if I have to decide? The right? I don't know. Nobody knows, right? But this drawing was really cool, it was really cool. You choose one there and I choose the right one. No, wait– the left, because my dominant leg is the right. So I will choose the left. Because like, I'm thinking like this, look what came into my head: Which leg would go away? Wow, I thought "So, if I'm going to kick a ball, I'm going to shoot it with my right leg. If I didn't have a right leg, I wouldn't be able to shoot the ball properly. So I prefer the left." That was my line of thinking, you know? I don't know. It's a bad example, right? And that's it, right? [Reading chat] "You chose?" Yeah, I like to think I had the power to choose.

What if Luxu and Player encounter each other with each of the player’s reincarnation

Luxu who is stealing bodies vs the kid that keeps coming back to life

[jakeperalta]

the more I think about it the more the entire bucktommy dinner date conversation seems crazy. how had they been together six months without ever discussing past relationships or the fact that tommy is gay? what had they been talking about all that time???

[occasionaloneshots]

Who sent the boys Becky’s missing poster to set the story into motion anyway? It has to be someone supernatural of some sort because that’s who they work for. I doubt that the ghost mailman is just picking up random missing posters to bring them along with cases.

There’s no way it’s anyone from the afterlife because then they’d know where the boys were so that literally only leaves two options as to who in Port Townsend would know enough to try and get the dead boy detectives on the case.

Option One of course being Tragic Mick. With how casual Esther mentions stealing little girls to him, we have to assume he knows what she’s doing. And with how ready he is to give the girls black salt when she built that torture device for Edwin, we also have to assume he’s not Esther’s biggest fan. The boys find out about his shop through an ad sent via the ghost mailman so it’s not out of the question for him to know how it works.

But option two is The Cat King, who in theory shouldn’t be an option. But if you ignore the fact that it was needed to further the plot, it is interesting that Tragic Mick’s ad shows up right after he put that bracelet on Edwin. Not that there’s any set reason he’d want to take Esther down, but I really don’t think that would stop him either. He’s obviously not a fan of her and I feel like when he gets bored he finds new little things to entertain himself, taking down an ex lover (if you go by Gage’s back story for the character) doesn’t seem out of bounds for him. At least not to me it doesn’t

bruhhhhhhh can you imagine tma if everyone was in their mid 50s, like it would be SO GOOD, you could have old man yaoi???? old men bickering??? old women podcasters/youtubers who take no shit??? old people who are weirdly trauma bonded but actually don't have much in common so they just sit there???

Phantom Blot fun HC:

Something the Blot finds great entertainment in, is telling fake tragic backstories whenever people ask about how he became who he is. Each one is very different, and varies on tone depending on the person or group of people he's talking to.

He even started to keep a journal to help brainstorm some ideas.

Moral Orel doesn't seem 100% like a show I'd feel seen in if you don't know me but then I remember the episode with the special ed kids and underneath the usual satire on extremist bible belt religion it reminds me WAY too much of how actual special ed departments treated me and other kids growing up.

Like the writers must HAVE BEEN THERE IN LIFE, man. I'd kill to sit down with Dino Stamatopoulos and find out what the fuck inspired him and the other writing staff that day.

[lord-squiggletits]

Today I went absolutely nuts over Pharma on main in Discord lmao. He should've gotten to kill more people just as reparations for all the shit he went through and then being completely ditched by his best friend and the cause he spent almost his entire life serving.

Like it really does suck how everyone including Ratchet (and Ambulon too???) heard about Pharma harvesting organs for the DJD and just immediately assumed Pharma was a traitor/double agent like.... THAT Pharma. Notorious Decepticon-hater Pharma. Pharma who's been an Autobot since the start of the war and is best friends with another loyal Autobot. That Pharma. Tooootally the most reasonable explanation is that he's a traitor and not. Y'know. That the DJD are a bunch of drug-addicted cultist freaks who literally practice torture, murder, and war crimes as their entire jobs. Couldn't be it. Pharma is just Doctor DJD I guess

PREDICTIONS: Ralsei

or, why this pile of rock is going to tear my heart out

Ralsei is a Titan.

"The unending pillar of darkness that gives my body form" dedication in Ralsei's manual matches Ralsei's description of Titans "tak[ing] form from the FOUNTAINS"

Ralsei's body completely disappears when downed

Ralsei was first completely shadowy and amorphous within his hooded cloak, then a bit more defined but still shadowy under his hat, before finally settling on a more visible form at the end of Chapter 1

Just before removing his hat, for a couple of frames Ralsei's sprite changes his paw color from black to white. As well, where Ralsei previously had black paws in various animations such as clapping or spell use, they are now white in Chapter 2. These suggest that Ralsei's shadowy appearance is not simply caused by the shade from his hat.

Ralsei's initial description is a somewhat ambiguous "Dark-World being"

Unlike normal Darkners, Ralsei does not turn to stone and can seemingly teleport between Dark Worlds at will

Ralsei is the sole denizen of Castle Town, an area seemingly abandoned or evacuated, where Titan-like eye marks and darkness covers the land

Ralsei knows a lot about the Roaring

"Do not be alarmed... I am not your enemy." is one of Ralsei's first words to Kris and Susie

Ralsei wants to redeem himself for participating in the last Roaring by stopping it from happening again.

Again: Ralsei is the sole denizen of Castle Town, an area seemingly abandoned or evacuated, where Titan-like eye marks and darkness covers the land

Ralsei’s portrait/sprite when talking about the Roaring seems haunted

Ralsei says “I...I’m sorry!!! I repent!!!” in the generally foreshadowy Poppup dialogue

However, Ralsei is an unwitting pawn in a greater villain's scheme.

Ralsei is characterized as overly keen to follow orders.

Poppup dialogue: “Ralsei moved to click on an ad with a bunny on it teaching you how to make friends... ...and accidentally clicked on an ad of a machine gun that appeared over it!” / “Ralsei tried to click on an ad with a castle on it... ...but it was actually an ad for a company that demolishes buildings with bazookas!”

Again: Poppup dialogue: “I... I didn’t mean to do it... I... I’m sorry!!! I repent!!!”

In order to fix his mistakes or save the world, Ralsei may sacrifice himself, perhaps becoming the Waterfall statue in Undertale.

Undyne states "That statue's been here forever... No one knows where it came from." This description seems similar to Gerson's explanation of the Delta Rune: "That emblem actually predates written history. The original meaning has been lost to time..."

The statue is greyscale and cracked, like Darkners such as Lancer when turned to stone

The statue has horns, like Ralsei (note that the direction of Ralsei's horns varies across sprites/portraits and concept art, sometimes being turned inward and other times outward)

The statue is associated with the song "Memory," which is associated with Asriel, who appears connected to Ralsei

The statue in Waterfall may have been part of the original Royal Memorial Fountain before Mettaton's statue replaced it

If so: Ralsei is associated with all three concepts of a "Royal Memorial Fountain," being a prince who is made from a Dark Fountain and, as "memory" is a prevalent theme in Deltarune and Ralsei sings its "Don't Forget" motif in battle, with remembrance as well

Other things:

Ralsei appears self-aware in the same way as Jevil and others.

"(SAVE and take a break anytime you want, OK?)"

"Even if it's not real, you can still have fun, right?"

"It seems like it was just a corrupted program."

There may be multiple "Ralsei"s in some way.

“They [two Ralsei plushes] are both correct. Both beautiful.” (Toby Fox on Ch 1 Livestream)

“Every Ralsei is equally beautiful.” (Toby Fox on Ch 1 Livestream)

“I just wonder what... being “Ralsei-like” even is...?”

Unknown: why does Queen not notice Ralsei?

“How Thoughtful You Two Have Come To Help Me / Kris, Susie / Which One Of You Wants To Be The New Knight”

“Hey Was There A Third Guy?????????”

“I Will Miss Each Of You / Noelle, Your Un-needed Honesty / Susie, Your Foolish Bravery / Kris, Your Chill Vibes / ... / B...Burghley?”

Unknown: why does Ralsei (seemingly) know about the ThornRing?

"..." if given

DISCLAIMER: this is a predictions post, just laying out the predictions that i have currently and my personal reasoning. eg. i am by no means the first or only person to consider titan ralsei rofl

the thing about May December tho is that they go in with the thesis that being 13 and staying in a relationship with a woman who's near 40 (or however old she was) lead to the guy being in a perpetual state of arrested development that is just like. Not true sdfghjkl being a victim of assault as a child doesn't leave you with the mind of a child forever I have no idea why you'd think that

I love how some people make their Omegaverse have Omegas with gold in their eyes while Alpha's has red, Betas maybe maintain the same eye. But what about Sigmas? The most rare sub gender in the Omegaverse.

Jason might have presented as an Alpha before the incident, with the signature red adorning his blue eyes.

But after coming back, Jason's scent has completely vanished. Even betas has some smell of their own, while not the same of the Alpha/Omega the Betas still smelt something. Jason on the other hand became completely undetectable by his nonexistent scent. His eyes too lost the Alpha red ring. His eyes changed completely...

Once, I was looking into Omegaverse mangas, and one mentioned a Sigma turning Alphas/Betas into Omegas by knotting them...

Now what if every Sigma came with their own quirk but especially those who are affected by something like the Lazarus Pit?

Imagine jaydick hatefucking/ normalfucking(as normal as it can get for them) only for Dick to turn into Jason's Omega, by accident 🤭.

This can also go in the direction where Alpha/Beta Dick voluntarily give up his birth sub gender just to be with Jason.

Maybe it will get them years before they finally get together. For Dick to completely embrace his love for Jason selflessly and take Jason with everything that comes with being with him. For Jason to finally know real love and acceptance by someone 💕

The thing abt the Hiro and Mukuro proxy siblings friendship I’ve concocted in my head is that they would make each other better but also they would make each other worse. They’re both hypervigilant and incurious as fuck so I truly believe that she could easily be roped into his conspiracy theory bullshit and it would be a better use of her time than whatever Junko’s got her doing. But also her trauma gave her an inability to recognize her own personhood and also choice fatigue and his made him self-preserving at the expense of everyone else so it’s like. Someone who is so starved for affection that she’s easily led following someone who is so eager to lead and provide oversimplified answers and easy narratives about the world. Kodaka thought he could treat Hiro’s conspiracy theory bs as haha harmless crank stuff but jokes on him I know way too much abt conspiracy thought. But also she’s literally part of a conspiracy. It’s like. They understand each other. They’re the same. They’re nothing alike. He will self-preserve whatever it takes, and she will always serve someone else. They’re distrustful. They’re easily duped. They’re jaded. They’re naive. They’re the sunkest of the sunk cost fallacy. They’re outsiders even among outsiders. They have one family member who is a constant in their life (his for the better, hers for the worse). They want so badly to one day stop looking over their goddamn shoulder. They want any excuse to rise to some sort of occasion. They can never trust each other. This is a dynamic I’ve purely made up in my own head but someone else please see the vision
