Sparkle is actually a really fun and interesting character and I'm still sad that she was so controversial when she came out because the average gacha player cannot understand that a character being a bad person does not make them a bad character, and that liking a ""problematic"" character doesn't make someone a bad person.

like. can I be real with u watt has never been my fav Thursday album (dont get me wrong I absolutely LOVE it but its never been in that #1 slot) but slamming it over and over to learn the lyrics for the watt tour show…. like fucking unreal feelings I love every song on it so dearly in a way that I would Not if it wasnt for that experience. I blacked out in that crowd I was GONE it was so electric. and maybe this impact is so fun to me cause I keep getting caught by tours for albums I Didnt grow up listening to and have no to minimal nostalgia for..… Im artificially creating my own nostalgic feelings here

on paper I Want to feel like straight forward full album play tours are kind of a cop out cause like.. I like variety and I like being surprised. HOWWEVER. I keep being proved wrong by artists I like doing it with fucking knockout albums and the crowd energy for it being BALLISTIC and so unified

future for scientist, bound for cadaver, and monster for both of them? 🤔

future: What's the worst possible future for your OC? Are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? Are they even aware it's a possibility?

SO unfortunately for scientist i think the worst outcome for her is. achieving immortality FJNFJFN despite that being the one thing shes working towards yk. i think deepdown she knows this but shes still pursuing it bc shes basically in denial abt it... i think her being immortal would rly enhance some of her worst traits. like she already feels disconnected/dofferent/isolated from other people (which is partially why shes pursuing immortality in the first place) but if she got it it would just be. soooo much worse. i truly believe if she did become immortal shed fuck off to like. the most isolated place on earth and shed never talk to another person ever again. Which she might think is a good thing but it absolutely would not be

bound: Has your OC ever been imprisoned or captured? What happened? How did they get out? Did the experience leave any scars?

soo this one is difficult bc cadavers backstory im changing my mind on it majorly atm... previously i did have him being arrested and held in prison for a while and then being broken out/recaptured by scientist but im not sure if i still want all that .. the like. nature of his ... Whole thing has changed a lot since i originally came up with her so im not sure if that still works. like it Could but idk... so this one is a bit of a weird question to answer atm bc i havent fully decided yet... i suppose depending on how much control you view cadaver as having you could say like. living with scientist is imprisonment but i do think if cadaver actually wanted to get out it probably could. SO idk... also scars r also being reconsidered in my mind bc previously i had him Getting scars but now im not sure if that actually makes sense with the healing thing... but the issue is one of the main reasons i made him is bc i think autopsy scars r cool 😭😭😭 so i dont know...

monster: Is your OC monstrous in any way? Is there something that makes them monstrous? Are they aware of their own monstrosity? Do they accept it or reject it?

scientist: YAY so i think scientist has always felt inherently other. but i think meeting cadaver RLY changed her for the worst like. she literally regularly murders another person. and yeah he gets better but you dont just like... even if its not permanent you cant just become ok with killing someone without being a little bit off. yk. i think physically shes human (unless i decide that she Does take on the whole possession thing. constant flipflopping in connorland) but i think mentally she goes from being like. kind of a misanthropic loner to being like. she basically simultaneously views cadaver as an ideal that shes jealous of (bc he has the one thing she wants, and bc she feels a sort of connection w it bc they have like.. similar but different motivations. yk...). and if the only person youve ever felt any sort of similarity to is a corpse possessed by ambiguous force i dont think youre like . you know ...

cadaver: so this is soo fun bc ive actually been considering having cadaver a bit more monstrous like. physically. bc obviously shes not human anymore BUT i think itd be fun if the possession had some physical effects on him... currently he just has the extreme healing/resurrection abilities but id imagine hed probably have some sort of enhanced strength as well. and i just love when possession has a physical component... but yes. EMOTIONALLY i think cadaver is weirdly in denial abt being a monster. like. i think she views the original part of her the one that died as like. the monstrous one. it feels more human now that its possessed bc prior to her death she was like. Somewhat similar to scientist in that she was very isolated but it was less of a choice if this makes sense. like scientist consciously isolates herself from ppl bc she just Assumes that they arent like. sorry im turning this into being about scientist again DJFNJF cadaver go lay at the bottom of the pool or something im busy. but yk she has that like. a view of herself thats seperate from other people/from humanity so she just doesnt bother talking to other people bc she assumes they would never understand. yk. so it is A choice to isolate from ppl (altho she also like..does not have social skills at all. as a result of this choice. so yk...) but w cadaver cadaver was alllways desperate for connection but in a like. rather than searching for One specific like. Unattainable kind of connection he wanted anything. and thats why she was so enthusiastic abt the connection bc it meant there would always be like. Someone. yk. and obv post connection shes a lot more like. confident and Able to make friends despite being physically more disconnected from humanity if this makes sense. so yes. i think cadaver is Literally more monstrous than scientist but i dont think thats how he feels abt himself at all.

I’m in a rambling mood (the ramblerrr) so here is some train-of-thought stuff about Laios and gender.

To preface, I personally think transfem Laios definitely has more basis in canon, especially when taking into account the parallels between being trans and feeling inhuman (or maybe it’s not a metaphor and Laios is just therian… or therian and transfem).

I headcanon Laios as a trans guy primarily because I kin him and get immense gender euphoria imagining him as someone who experiments with presentation and doesn’t bind. But it wasn’t always that way (once again, the following is based on my own experiences):

When entering the military, Laios tried to bind. He tried to pass as masculine. He tried to learn the intricacies of the soldiers he surrounded himself with, and how they shunned anyone who didn’t fit their toxic, specific view of what it was to “be a man”. Obviously that didn’t last very long, because he wasn’t happy. It’s exhausting spending all your time and energy trying to mask and then coming to the realization that everyone still knew you were an outsider anyway. When Laios deserted, he didn’t know what to do with himself. He couldn’t be what everyone wanted him to be, so how could he even be certain he was who he wanted to be?

Cue his reunion with Falin and her helping to take care of him after he clearly hadn’t for so long. Once entering the dungeon, he thought he wouldn’t care as much about identity—after all, he was finally in the place he felt most comfortable in, surrounded by monsters and the people who allow him to be himself, no masks required (the armor saving him the effort of stressing over his wardrobe and the obligation of binding was also a plus). But there was still something missing.

I’m not 100% knowledgeable about the ending of Dungeon Meshi (only some of the highlights) as I’m an anime-only fan, so take this post-canon analysis with a grain of salt.

Things were quickly falling into place, and with less time spent fighting monsters and more time brooding in a large, open castle waiting for something exciting to happen, Laios finally started to tackle the parts of himself he’d spent years trying to bury. He had dozens of new outfits he could model in the comfort of his chambers, and quickly realized one of the reasons he was so miserable in the army: he didn’t like presenting masculinely, and he didn’t want to bind. For the longest time, he believed having a flat chest was essential to being a man, as he was always made fun of by his peers when he didn’t. Now, he understands that he really doesn’t have as much chest dysphoria as he thought he should, and that there’s no wrong way to be a guy.

I love how deeply Laios’s character has resonated with so many people across the gender spectrum—transmasc, transfem, nonbinary… they’re certainly not cis, let’s just put it that way.

Having rhaenyra and mysaria kiss and then just do nothing with it felt so so WEIRD AND FANSERVICEY (imo) everything in this show feels like they r throwing cheap tricks in our faces to keep us interested. Plus it just made me uncomfortable how quickly it moved from mysaria talking about the horrific sexual abuse she endured to (what felt like) her having to leverage her desirability again. Idk it would be have been more compelling to me if she was able to exist outside of being wanted . This season has really turned me against rhaenyra I just couldn’t stand her - it felt like she was the face of the poor writing this season writ large ANYWAYS sorry #ramblerrr

She certainly was 🙃

Mysaria has no personality so they thought maybe making her gay might help 🫠

Tbh just more virtue signaling for why the audience should root for TB vs interest in exploring queer stories and identity
