Just finished the @infamous-if demo and got insanely attached to my wet cat MC so I made her into a PICREW. She is Polly Jenkins
Band name: Mirror in the creek
Genre: Country
Loves music. Truly sees it as an art form
People pleaser to the extreme
Ball of anxiety and constant stress
Loves to sing, doesn’t like the spotlight
Really not built for reality TV. Hates the cameras and the rumors and the drama
She’s slowly cracking from it all
Used to struggle very badly with stage fright. Still kinda does
She’s constantly this 👌close to dropping off the face of the earth
Didn’t really want to be on BOTB but her friends wanted to so she did
Cares deeply about the band. Terrified of losing them
Slowly falling for Sebastian. Sees him as someone she can actually talk to without worrying about it getting leaked or used against her
Likes Maya well enough but worries she’ll be a bad influence
Flashes back to doing drugs once and goes “Oh noooo I’m going to lead her down a path of addiction and she’s gonna dieeee”
If there’s an ending where the MC crashes and burns uhhhh o7s in the chat for Polly
In a better life, she has a degree in Music and teaches it at college. Has an small YouTube channel with less than 5K subscribers that she posts faceless recordings of her singing on
God she’d be so much happier
#infamous if#she’s truly the wet cat#the woobie#the rare type of person who has the talent but#just isn’t meant to be famous and shouldn’t be famous#she just wanted to sing :(

Varian Appreciation Post
Never would've expected the amount of character development this character would undergo when I met him, but he is, well, awesome!

The Eleventh Inspector outright stated that he/she is the one whom he/she most fears.
After all, he/she has a history of decimating his/her enemies, accidentally destroying planets, killing his/her (so-called) mates, and otherwise making his/her life rather shitty. (On purpose!)

everyone you admire, idolize, put on a pedestal is just a person. everyone you hate, demonize, find irritating / annoying, is also just a person.
#oh another one from deep in the drafts. that's mmm perhaps relevant#idk!#i just think. maybe. sometimes people should be normal abt actors. that goes for both ends of the spectrum#like sometimes (most times) things are not that deep#and people get all up in arms abt stuff and it's like. whatever. that's literally just some guy#who's not as evil malicious OR perfect and wooby as either side thinks them to be#vic.txt#keep

Now I'm getting really interested in this creature. Do you think it would be possible for a wizard to have a cabrichocho familiar, probably with the Imprived Familiar feat?
Thank you. ^^
Cabrichocho
“The Lab” © Anna Foley, accessed at her deviantArt page here
[Commissioned by @wannabedemonlord, the last of their Spanish monster series. The original prompt made them sound pathetic and lonely, whereas what sources I could find elsewhere made this creature just super horny and gross. I went for the sadder version. The original is just a blue sheep, but the search for art made me make it truly monstrous in appearance.]
Cabrichocho This small, withered creature looks something like a lamb but with grotesquely distorted features and a vaguely humanoid face. Its fleece is a bluish color.
A cabrichocho is at one disgusting and pathetic, a malformed creature with a kind heart that wants nothing more than to be loved. Feeling that their appearance is so grotesque that they could not be loved at sight, they frequently hide themselves from view and attempt to converse with passersby. They may throw their voices to avoid detection, claim to be an invisible fairy or ghost, or otherwise dissuade their conversation partners from trying to get a good look at them.
Unfortunately for a cabrichocho, their blood and hide is useful for the manufacture of many magical items, making them a tempting target for wizards and alchemists who know their true nature. Some cabrichocho are so desperate for someone to talk to that they let their loneliness get the better of their sense and come into the open and walk into traps. Although they can headbutt opponents and fly magically for short periods of time, their best defense is their own hideousness, which can send enemies retching and unable to act.
A cabrichocho is an omnivore of the most delicate type, feeding on the sap of trees, the nectar of flowers and butterflies. They are peripatetic creatures and rarely stay in one place for very long. This frequent movement is both in order to try their luck finding new friends and in order to avoid attracting hunters. No two cabrichocho look alike, as their deformities are uniquely awful. One might have an overlong neck barely supporting its head, while another may have many misshapen limbs sticking out at odd angles, and a third could be covered in weeping sores or vestigial eyes and teeth.

re last reblog I do see fanfic culture pushing/replicating a certain model of "what trauma looks like," "how trauma works"
this is a problem across all areas of society obviously, but transformative works are, well, transformative. they're about crafting and modifying narratives where the fan-creator sees a flaw or a lack -- often for the better! don't get me wrong, I've done my fair share of "I take a hammer and I fix the canon," it's the main thing that gets my creative gears spinning -- but what happens when that "flaw" is simply a narrative not conforming to popular expectations?
some people just don't get PTSD from events that sound obviously traumatic. they're not masking, and they're not coping; they just straight-up didn't get the permanently-locked stress-response that defines PTSD. they walk away from a horrible experience going "well, that sucked, but it's over now." some people do get PTSD from events most people wouldn't find traumatic. we don't really know why some people get PTSD and others don't. but fandom has an idea of events that must be traumatizing, of a "correct" way to portray trauma. you see the problems with this lack of understanding in e.g. fans pressuring the devs of Baldur's Gate 3 to add dialogue where the player character badgers Halsin about his own feelings on his abuse -- because he must be traumatized, and his trauma must fit a certain mold and presentation of sexual trauma, under the mistaken impression that anything outside that narrow window is somehow "wrong" and disrespectful or even harmful to survivors.
take, for another example, the very common trope of a traumatized character who hates touch or sex "learning" to like touch or sex as a part of their healing process. certainly that can be healing for some people; other people will never like, or want, touch or sex, because of trauma or because they just don't. the assumption that someone who doesn't want sex or doesn't like to be touched must be traumatized, must be suffering from this perceived lack, is seriously harmful -- to asexual people, to people with sensory issues around touch, and to people for whom healing from trauma means freedom to refuse sex or touch.
and there's a secondary trope, one that's slightly more thoughtful but ultimately repeats the problem -- that once someone has learned that their boundaries will be respected, they'll feel it's safe to soften those boundaries. once they feel safe refusing touch or sex, they'll feel comfortable allowing it on their own terms. but many people don't, and many people won't! many people will simply never want to be touched, and never want sex, and they are not suffering or broken or lacking because of it. the idea that proving you'll respect someone's boundaries entitles you to test those boundaries -- the paradox is obvious, and yet this is something i've seen hurt (re-traumatize) people i care for.
people are imperfect victims. people don't heal in the ways you expect. many people have positive memories of their abuse, of their abusers. many people hurt others in the course of their trauma, in ways that can't easily be unpacked in a 5k oneshot. very few narratives of trauma and recovery actually fit the ones put forward by popular children's media and romance novels -- which are the ones I most see replicated in fandom spaces, because they provide the clearest narrative and easiest catharsis, and so they're easy and soothing to reach for.
that's not necessarily a bad thing! i am not immune to goopy romance tropes. i am not immune to teary catharsis. not every fic has to grapple with ugly realities. but there's a problem when these narratives become predominant, when people think they're accurate and realistic depictions of trauma, when the truth of trauma is unpleasant and uncomfortable, and doesn't fit any single narrative, let alone one of comforting catharsis
#bird original#see also: the murderbot diaries#murderbot does not like to be touched. murderbot does not like touching other people#physical contact is an unpleasant necessity in emergencies or to feign being human (something murderbot also hates)#at one point murderbot uncomfortably offers a hug to someone it cares for because she's upset and needs one --#and she refuses. because she knows it doesn't really want to; she won't ask it to do something it hates for her benefit#& yet murderbot fic often has it learning that touch ~isn't so bad~ and maybe there are a COUPLE people it likes to cuddle with.#the differences between vash in the original trigun anime and trigun stampede --#tristamp!vash is your woobie who hides his sad and traumatized heart under goofy behavior;#who copes and avoids through silly indulgences#2011!vash ... is not that#2011!vash isn't coping or masking. he feels immense grief yes; he also feels immense joy; the two are inseparable#he pursues joy moment to moment because he knows how fleeting each moment is#he loves people so intensely because he knows that he'll lose them -- so he has no time to waste with them#his grief is real and profound; so is his joy#i find that much more compelling and i feel like that's not a character i'd see in today's media environment#anyway#fandom#trauma#fanfic#throwing a golden apple into the tags with this but fuck it we ball
