FORBESSSS

Forbes is actually pretty similar to Ford even though his entire character/arc revolves around him NOT being Ford. He's egotistical like him,he's terrible with expressing his emotions besides ego related outbursts,he's lonely and was often made fun of for his eye abnormality like Ford's six fingers,he's desperate for validation and he covers up his insecurities with his ego,he's paranoid and distrustful of others due to trauma,and he's a huge nerd like Ford. Although despite this,he's also unique in his own way. He's charismatic and is actually sociable as well as good at making friends despite being lonely (he's lonely even though he actually has social skills because he resigned himself to the fate of dying alone until he met Bill) due to the fact that Filbert taught him that he has to know how to act in public lest he'd suffer the consequences (getting beat up and also getting humiliated in front of his father's investors),he's nicer and less aloof/snappy than Ford as he shows his friendly side more often for the sake of keeping up his and his family's image despite wanting to have a mental breakdown and or be angrier so bad because of his issues,he is actually functional and slightly more normal than Ford as he has a regular sleep schedule plus he actually eats normally and he eats vegetables as he values self care because he's a normal person and also this is partially because of having to keep up his image unlike Ford who probably eats a single boiled egg or a granola bar for breakfast and he thinks that'll give him enough energy for the day. And Forbes' specialty is technology rather than anomaly research like Ford. Plus he's more open about his insecurities in comparison to Ford,as he was never isolated and driven to not trust even his only family as well as the fact that Filbert didn't really care about his dumb emotions as long as he didn't show them in public meaning he wasn't taught the toxic masculinity thing aka "men don't cry" which is why Forbes is actually pretty pathetic in contrast to Ford as he cries all the time and is very needy for attention. His issues regarding him being desperate for validation is worse than Ford's,since he never had Stan or Shermie to support him growing up when his parents didn't so he basically takes any semblance of affection and recognition such as someone putting a billboard with his company on it or remotely talking to him without any ulterior motives (Fidelity was the one to witness the second option,he was baffled and horrified by the fact that this amazing man had never been acknowledged by his family before). Basically he was praised and put on a pedestal on the surface while simultaneously feeling insecure due to no one actually caring about him besides for his wealth.

FILBERT NEEDS TO DIEEEE /j for legal purposes/silly

filbrick haunts me even here.... worst character /gen

thank the gods that forbes takes care of himself, but he's a little less mecore now /SILLY

hello! welcome back to my FMA Characters as Taylor Swift albums!!! previous albums are here:

debut, fearless (taylor’s version), speak now (taylor’s version), RED (taylor’s version), 1989 (taylor’s version), 𝔯𝔢𝔭𝔲𝔱𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫, 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓇

now, let’s all escape into the woods where we live in a cabin and write with a quill pen and wander the moors:

𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒆

Riza Hawkeye

- folklore is taylor's first forey into not writing completely autobiographically. she is still writing about herself though but projecting that onto fictional characters she's creating (mecore affffffffff).

- the loose story of the album is, you guessed it, folklore or tall tales. stories that are timeless and are passed down from generation to generation, across cultures and worlds to one another for everyone to relate to or learn from. the album discusses a lot of different topics that everyone can relate to or feel connected to in some way as they're not unique feelings and are universal. she does this in a truly achingly beautiful way and is beautiful.

- if you haven't listened to the LPSS version, do it. SO FUCKING GOOD AND MY TEARS RICOCHET HURTS SO MUCH

- BUT the album fits a lot of riza's character and story as almost all of it can be linked to her past or life at most points either in the story or in stuff implied prior to the start of the story

- seven being about her as a child and that innocence that she yearns for again

- if you're a royai shipper (great taste) august and illicit affairs can be read in the context of her and roy having a secret relationship together and the feelings tied into that.

- august being how she can't have more with roy because of their individual goals but still being hopelessly in love

- illicit affairs being about the feelings that comes over time with having a secret relationship and the pain and anger you feel but can't stop (and that's the thing about illicit affairs and clandestine meetings and longing stares they're stolen from one single glance but THEY DIE AHD THEY DIE AND THEY DIE a million little times...)

- mirrorball ties into riza not really knowing herself or what to do. more of a popular fan interpretation though there is evidence of this based on the brief scenes we get of younger her and joining the army because she believes in roy's idyllic ideas of the military. riza herself doesn't fully know herself and mirrorball perfectly encapsulates that

- in addition to that, this is me trying is, in my opinion, the sister song to mirrorball. the song is about how you're kind of at this low and awful point but you're TRYING to be better. to keep fighting and moving on despite everything that makes you want to just stop it all. this connects to riza with similar things that i said in mirrorball. she doesn't fully see or know herself outside of roy. she doesn't believe she deserves to live and only finds meaning and value through roy himself and his future goals. she has stated twice that if he wasn't alive she wouldn't want to be alive. everyday she is actively trying to keep going and fight, even during the promised day she remarks that she needs to keep going when she was just bleeding out 30 minutes ago because she sees roy is still willing to fight despite losing his eyesight not even fifteen minutes ago.

- epiphany is also riza coded but i don't feel comfortable analyzing it and discussing it based on what the songs about. so if you want to know what i mean listen to the song and you'll understand what i mean.

- mad woman is the battle with lust *tips cowboy hat*

- i could very much go on and on and on and i will! hoax with the fucking quotes like

• "don't want no other shade of blue but you" and "your faithless loves the only hoax believe in" and "i am ash from your fire" ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEEEEEEEEE

- okay okay you probably get the picture by this point. in conclusion folklore is heavily riza coded and is another piece of evidence in my "taylor swift kins riza hawkeye" crack theory. also riza needs therapy

- like riza SPECIFICALLY just fixed herself after each traumatic event with super glue and duck tape and is only holding on at this rate through sheer force and her superior officer/boyfriends dumbass ways

im curious. who are your fav characters from each mainline persona game that you have played 🤔🤔 (take this as an invitation to ramble about them)

YIPEEEEEEEE here we go will be long so im hiding it under a readmore again. also since you said mainline im not including toshiro or eri but you Know...... im abnorma, abt them

i have NOT played p1 and i've just barely started p2is (though ive watched snippets of someone elses's playthrough) but i will say. based on my limited knowledge i rly like hidehiko, ayase, naoya, tatsuya, jun, eikichi, yukino, maya, and lisa

p3 and p4 are difficult bc theyre the ones im the most autistic abt and the main entire casts as a whole are comforts for me. but anyways. going to talk about p3 first Yes I Will Include SLs too. im abnormal. top 3 main insaners for p3 though are akihiko, yukari, and junpei. for me

makoto/minato sooo so gender envy. im obsessed with his design a lot. his character i do also like hes a little goofy and so mecore but mainly his design is something i love a lot

same with kotone. also love how she has a sort of distinct personality that you can tell with slight dialogue changes that her counterpart doesnt say. shes rly real. love reload but i miss her...

as stated yukari's one of my favs. she didnt Use to be (i did like her but Not as much) but she's slowly become one and man. i love that silly girl. her haters will not survive the winter actually. it does piss me off though because like. yeah shes not perfect no character rly is but she's a traumatized mentally ill teenage girl with a dead dad and a neglectful mom cut her some slack maybe? god forbid women do anything. idk. but im obsessed with her. her character is actually so interesting to me and not a lot of people talk about it? like her whole fear of death causing issues with summoning her persona like at the beginnning, her dad being involved with the kirijo groups shit, how she puts on a cheerful front but is actually deeply really lonely :(, her kinda playful insult friendship with junpei (deep down they do care abt eachother. i wish that was explored more. i found a rly good fic abt it once.) and etc etc. idrk what to say but shes sooo. i also love how she initially HATES mitsuru and is super jealous of her and then. Well. gay tension is real. anyways shes a transfem lesbian to me btw. yukamitsu ftw

junpei's also become one of my favs. somehow. in a similar vein to yukari in that he wasn't initially my main fav character but i think his character's also pretty interesting and has. a lot of unexplored potential. he's very silly and i love him for that a lot but something i don't see many people talk about is like. his Issues. like yeah hes silly but he's also got some fucked up self-worth issues!!! remember the scene on 5/9 where he kinda gets really upset and goes off on his own and stuff. for example. like i think him being imperfect and having these moments where he's NOT cheerful and goofy all the time and actually deeply really jealous of you because he feels that fighting's all he's good for and he's not worth much else is what makes him interesting. do you get it. like him being tbe silly funny guy isn't all he is as a person yk!!!!! also as far as characterization I point a lot to the scene where yukari's more than willing to go confront the people in the alley while junpei's worried, or scene near the end of the game where yukari teases junpei and he snaps at her, confessing that while he doesn't show it he really is terrified. they all are, at that point. yk what I mean? also people don't acknowledge his trauma with his father enough (maybe because it's only really discussed at all in femc's route... his SL is so good but not enough ppl see it... BUR YEAH did not think I'd go off on a tangent about junpei fucking iori tonight but he's real. hashtag brokeback tartarus. also he's an adhder to me. (oh yeah also want to point out this line in his SL where he says "maybe I have anxiety or something". yeah. that's a line!)

akihiko fucking sanada. ohhhh man. this guy. where do i even START. he's so so crazy like what if your local high school upperclassman boxing champion guy was also really gay for his dying childhood friend and autistic as hell and also traumatized. and he's doing boxing in the first place to overcompensate because the death of his sister made him fear losing anyone else again snd he needs to feel like he has power. he needs control. yk? like this guy made me insane for like several months straight in 2023 and he still makes me ill. to this day. as you can probably tell by my distaste for people seeing yukari and junpei at face value you can probably gather that I hate the protein jokes and i Do. he said it like. Once in p3. it never rly was funny????? and what they did in spinoffs esp p4a to just make him look like a gym rat and nothing more makes me upset bc of the REASON he's obsessed with fighting. he's not just a dumb jock (he also isn't dumb lol he canonically scores very high on his exams) he's overworking himself because feelings of self doubt from trauma have caused him to feel the need to overcompensate so he never loses anyone again. you know? it would've been interesting to see him relapse in p4a if theyd actually done it well. like he doesnt rly give himself time or room to grieve in game (theres rhat onw scene on 10/5 and then he barely talks about it again. man i wish it was developed more...) so realizing that grieving isnt a linear process that he can just repress for a long time and even years after it can still hurt would go INSANE. but no they just turned him into i love protein joke number 20. okay!!! (im very angry) thinking about when my non persona friend after hearing me explain some of the plot described p3 as like a greek tragedy because like. damn. he and shinji were doomed from the start with personas like polydeuces and castor huh. anyways. yeah. continuing writing now that i've watched october 4th in reload AND akihiko's breakdown as a reuslt and i wanna scream and cry and throw up that will be for another post but ooh man it mad eme cry like 3 times. and I KNOEW WHAT HAPPENS. THEYRE SOOOOOOOOOO if you know me im an insane akishinji truther. im just. i wanna talk abt other charactrs so ill stop here but always ask me about akihiko + akishinji + ships i like in general. i am really normal. oh btw transmasc akihiko is forever real to me. also he's autistic and a ptsder. to me (tbf what persona character Doesnt have some form of truama but like. this guy in particular). up there with my highest blorbos

i dooont wanna go on for too long abt every other character in p3 so ill keep this next part short and sweet but if u wanna hear me talk more abt any of them. feel free to. starting with fuuka i love he rmy transfem autistic girlie who has every disease. i also love mitsuru a lot who i Wish had people acknowledge her deeper aspects more. like. she was experimented on and also very sheltered and also a little bit of a girlfail. shes not fully the girlboss you all say she is shes also just a teenage girl!!!!!!!!!! koromaru can do no wrong hes forever the best. i love that dog. ken makes me so so sad he is just a kid!!! what the hell!!!!!! :(. and oh man. shinji. guy who is so wracked with guilt. guy that is dying no matter what happens. guy that dies in his lover's arms

as far as non-sees characters. i rly like strega. esp jin and chidori. dont think abt them enough. also as far as SLs i like keisuke, hidetoshi, bunkichi and mitsuko, kazushi, yuko, and etc etc...i need to see rio and saoris links too they look real. oh also i LOVE ryoji

p4 time !!!!!!

again gonna cut this short so i can actually Fit it all in one post. but wow. i do like all of the IT so so much but im just focusing on my favs. anyways i love yu so much his autistic swagger esp in the animation is amazing. like he is not a "chad" he's just an autistic teenager. ok. also the animation broke me when nanako gets kidnapped he sounds fucking distraught there. love when people delve into yu's issues also bc hes a bit fucked up but Man. ouch. just like me fr tho

i love yosuke in a similar way to why I like junpei because he's kind of a loser /pos snd has some insane issues that his shadow delves into that are Kind of Insane for the FIRST shadow of the game. like ok damn. i really do love his social link in general tho his was the first one I maxed out in my (unfinished because i didn't want to finish it) p4g playthrough so!!!!! many things wrong with him and also the lgbt community has forgiven yosuke hanamura. also similarly to junpei he's adhd as hell. souyo ftw

naotos probably my fav p4 character I think which is Pretty Painful Sometimes. sometimes I need to kill both other persona fans and atlus if ykwim. but anyways i hc him as transmasc for one thing but also if atlus weren't cowards and actually made his story abt rhat it would've hit so hard. his shadow in general is often overlooked apart from that bc what about the part where he talks about being mistreated by others and feeling utterly alone and not allowing himself to act like a kid!!!! it fucks me up!!! he's also super autism btw like god damn. but YEAH point is I love naoto so much and i hate how both some fans and atlus tjemself treat him because his whole arc and shadow had the potential to be super compelling

apart from who i listed above i do like the rest of the IT so much they're such silly friends (i love you chie i love you yukiko i love you kanji i love you rise i love you teddie.). can't think of any SLs off the top of my head that were crazy but I do like daisuke and kou. OH ALSOO the dojimas..... 😢💧😢😢💧 love them

p5 time :3 I'm into it less so than p3 or p4 but Still

yusuke's my favorite p5 character probably. i domt know what it is apart from the common trend of my favs being autistic as hell (see: akihiko and naoto) but he's like. such a fucked up guy. he's traumatized. he loves art. something is deeply wrong with him. obsessed with this gug

i also do like ren/akira, ryuji, futaba, and also mishima (unfortunately. but in my defense there is something deeply wrong with him slash positive). i don't know a lot abt all of p5's confidants but i like iwai I think.... this reminded me I need to make more progress in p5 what the hell. i miss you futaba (i haven't even got to her palace yet im still on kaneshiros LOL)

but YEAH! thank you for asking!!! from the ones I've played my top favs are akihiko + naoto + yusuke respectively so👍👍👍 loved answering this :3 if u have any thoughts on a particular character feel free to ask and ill elaborate :3

[spookfished]

media roundup june 2023

hey guys guess who just went "oh its the 4th of july. that means that its july" here im going to talk about things i read/watched/played last month! i didnt read as much but did finish a couple books that ive had checked out Forever. ok actually i read a lot woops

books/comics/written media:

fake dates and mooncakes by sher lee: fake dating (obv) premise between a cooking boy and a rich heir! book that made me realized im honestly just not that interested in ya romance anymore LMFAO. pretty sweet and a decent read, but landed more heavily on the expository end of uhh i guess diaspora fiction? than i really prefer. i think i picked this up bc the author got mega cancelled on tyk twitter lol??

bird by bird by anne lammott: book about how to write. i love to read about how people do stuff :3 some of the advice applies pretty universally to creative efforts i think.. made me want to write more too

john dies at the end by jason pargin: DNF. comic/horror about this loser guy who discovers stuff. sigh i tried so hard to like this book its supposed to be pretty 'mecore'...talked about this with alena a bunch but its like hm... i know the sort of casual offensiveness sort of goes in hand with being poor and white and in the midwest and i appreciate how its like that creates its own doomed narrative or whatever. but also i feel like the protagonist would call me slurs or something. also the lowgrade but pervasive orientalism is kinda offputting. probably fun for some other guy! i did enjoy the horror elements though

the goldfinch by donna tartt: literary coming of age about a boys relationship with a painting (the goldfinch). also he flops a lot and its sort of homoerotic i guess? a movie was made of it. so something to note is that ive had this book out on loan since literally december. neil kept on being like hey man just stop reading it LMFAO. thoughts cp'ed from discord:

why does the goldfinch feel like a 600 page leadup to the actual book which is 800 pages

idk at this point im kinda sick of pathetic lovelorn self obsessed semi literary men. like toku men are also sopping and pathetic but i think its more appealing when they are also kind and can be vulnerable. this guy is just annoying and kind of incel coded. like does a grand gesture to make up for the fact that he killed your dog while dogsitting

i actually did enjoy the parts post timeskip but i still think the first two thirds could have been cut or Greatly compressed or interspersed w the present or Something, yk? prose was nice though

the bodyguard by katherine center: romance novel about a woman bodyguard who lives for her job. fresh from a breakup, shes given a new undercover assignment with a handsome actor, recently withdrawn from society. will they be able to break each others' shells....? my mom recommended this to me LMFAO we kind of have different tastes in romance.. ive read a book by this author before i think her platonic scenes are very strong? i wish there had been a couple more of those. also i like how she always includes a life affirming section at the end about how important it is for us to open ourselves up to love etc etc cute but not especially memorable

kiss quotient by helen hoang: (reread) a shy, autistic econometrician decides that she needs to get better at sex, and so hires an escort. helen hoang is one of my faavorite romance authors i really enjoyed this reread although i kinda forgot that both leads say, think and do some pretty embarrassing things. but you know a little embarrassment is endearing and all that.. i still prefer her other book (the bride test) but this one is pretty good too. vivid characters 👍

sisters of dorley hall by alyson greaves: web fiction - a trans woman infiltrates a secret force-feminization program. ok im just cp'ing my thoughts from discord again but i enjoyed it a lot:

my thoughts are that the first like, third? is really really good. it like idk takes the very real trans fears of like discovery and passing and all that and fictionalizes them a bit. but like its still grounded and swag. sooo tense once The Reveal happens n things w steph are pretty normal it gets kinda meandering? which i dont really mind bc i love interpersonal drama even if i miss how tense and scary it was. but also theres only like two major plot threads going on rn and theyre both pretty slowburn. a timeskip would probably benefit tbh like the point rn is kinda like. the 7 year meteor? yeah sorry

like it used to be sort of psychological thriller? and now its sort of more character focus and also surprisingly fluffy.. im surprised that the author has said they have a complete outline bc it doesnt feel very focused atm? but also like i suppose things are snowballing a bit re: revealing the sisters to the outside world

an unauthorized fan treatise by lauren james: a fangirl trying to prove her rpf ship is real uncovers a greater conspiracy. to me if something is able to capture a specific age/vibe from the internet its automatically pretty good. however more and more people are learning how to do that so maybe i should change my standards... i was never involved in All That re: rpf or even fandoms of live action shows until kamen rider? but like i definitely knew people in hs that were sort of like this LMFAO so it felt very familiar. i appreciate the author trying to make that $$ but i dont know if it really needs an expansion/sequel.. the ending is better off with some ambiguity imo

impossible us by sarah lotz: literary romance? a man and a woman fall in love online, but encounter difficulties when they try to meet. ok im just pasting my thoughts here again (spoilers btw):

ok that was a lot of stuff. onto movies/tv:

xo kitty: kitty goes to a school to connect with her online boyfriend, but all is not well. yall this was not good. i guess my standards shouldnt have been that high but to all the boys ive loved before was so cute!! (havent watched/read the others). but like.. the writing was bad and the main actress just wasnt very sympathetic or charming? characters waste time saying "i can explain" until time runs out for them to actually explain, additional (and nonsensical) romance plots are added for no reason, and the male lead isnt even that hot. sorry. also kitty deciding to move to korea to connect with her mom but not bothering to learn a speck of korean and insisting that everyone else speak to her in english really sucks honestly. not even my mom liked it so thats how you know its bad 👎

succession season 1: yesss succession. greg is my favorite cant wait to see him become evil. makes me stressed

shin kamen rider (hideaki anno): reboot of the first kamen rider by the guy who made evangelion. this guy kinda makes the same thing over and over but it looked sick as hell so i wasnt complaining. like stella obstinaterixatrix said, kinda more introspective or even insular to the point of kinda ignoring the usual kr theme of justice but it was still very fun :3 kinda want to watch the original now

ready player one (movie): my parents made me watch this movie. aggressively mediocre.

kamen rider revice and live and evil and demons: pretty fun if you have the disease that makes you think revice is good, but mostly made me miss revice. i think they should have gone more into the clone thing but i always think that so

kamen rider juuga vs kamen rider olteca: two-parter special for kr revice. i forgot what happened in this pretty much immediately after but karizaki was hot

roman holiday: a princess touring in rome escapes her duties for a day, and meets a dashing young reporter. classic romance!! i actually liked this so so much like it actually is very romantic and funny and like deserves the hype. didnt expect it to be in black and white even so audrey hepburn is really hot. (spoilers) more romances should have bittersweet endings though like it hit

kamen rider ryuki: a young man is inducted into a battle royale between those fighting for their deepest wishes, and decides to try and stop the rider battle once and for all. hey guys ryuki is so fucking good for those who have watched madoka magica a lot of it is very heavily based off of/inspired by ryuki! but ryuki does it better. pretty much The kamen rider has so much to say about justice and love and what it means to be a hero and sacrifice and *runs out of air and falls over* also it made me cry. if you ever try kamen rider try this one <3

EDIT OH i forgot about across the spiderverse 100/10 obviously groundbreaking in animation nice take on generational trauma and also like the nature of adaptation and being in a multimedia comics franchise and all that. really hope the sequel doesnt get crunched too bad. oh but copaganda not great 99/10

video games:

twisted wonderland: gacha game where random disney villains are bishie high schoolers instead. ill play chapter 3 sometime soon i swear. gameplay is terrible as with most gacha games but the characters are cute? i feel terrible guilt for being involved with a disney franchise. honestly pretty compelling character writing sometimes though sorry

apico: stardew-like about raising bees (in beta). sooooo cute and the devs obv care about bees a lot in real life. the gameplay loop + breeding systems are a little bit punishing right now though i really hope it gets adjusted. took over my life during finals (woops) and i got like half the bees and then burnt out. multiplayer is fun though!

legend of zelda tears of the kingdom: the next zelda game, now featuring building + vertical elements. yeah this took over my life for two months like it did for a bunch of other people i finished the main story a couple days ago! i might go back to do a couple more of the shrine puzzles, but other than that i think im done. LOVE the vertical elements and also all the little sidequests there are to do and how the world has changed since botw. dragons tears was really good and OMG PROVING GROUNDS. would be a 10/10 if zelda was the protag stop damseling her you guys cmon

paper mario origami king: newest paper mario game, which is a spinoff of the main series where theyre all paper (duh). im about halfway through this, i think? tried it out because of the dunkey video lol and also bc it was free at my library. very charming and inventive, has a really good soundtrack and really funny writing! i know the gameplay was controversial, but im enjoying it a lot (and theres a lot of room for error). might 100% it

it feels like this month i tried a lot of things that i didnt really like LMAO. also a lot of romance. im very happy about finally finishing the goldfinch! the only holdout on my libby is slaughterhouse 5 :P i did find some things that i really liked though! anyways this one feels a bit more scattered but if you got to the ending, congratulations! thanks for reading :3

[thatonesmartkidfromschool]

can i ramble in your inbox? i’m gonna ramble in your inbox.

kukui stims aggressively. you can pry this headcanon from my cold dead hands. he constantly is throwing something at walls, bouncing and/or rolling around on a yoga ball, chewing on something, or biting his nails. biting his nails isn’t necessarily aggressive, but it is a harmful stim with how short he’ll chew his nails if he isn’t careful.

cane user kukui headcanon: he’ll tap the floor with his cane while he’s sitting as a stim.

he loves getting headscratches or having his hair played with but only by like two people. one of which is burnet, and he had to warm up to it. after a while, though, he’s very comfortable with her playing with his hair. he also likes back scratches (mecore fr).

oh and haircuts are a PAIN for him if he doesn’t know the hairdresser. it’s like with the headscritches thing. he trusts a few hairdressers with his hair. if he has to go to another hairdresser, he’ll be shutoff and a little cold. and unusually not talkative.

OH MY GOD YEAH I CAN SEE ALL OF THESE.. like with the stimming some of it is stuff I do (especially the chewing n biting lol) though idk if it can be considered stimming and idk if I do it often I just. IDK. It just feels like Kukui lol. And is also kinda me

But OHHHHH THE HEAD SCRATCHES AND BACK SCRATCHES ARE SO REAL. Dude idk how to articulate how much this feels like Kukui, see this is why I'm so bad at talking about this kinda shit all I can say is "OH THAT'S AWESOME SAUCE" and "OH THAT'S SO ME FR" BUT IT ISSSS... especially the back scratches they are so lovely... I actually like projecting that onto Drayton from Scarlet and Violet.. also my constant sleepiness lol. Head scratches are also really nice like yeah I get why he would love that shit. And the hair thing also fits him, I don't personally struggle with that a lot but I can definitely see it for Kukui. Like idk hair can be such a sacred thing, and it feels weird when people are picking and pulling at it.

And yeah same thing I said with the others, the cane one also seems like something he'd do. I can also see him like idk rolling it around in his arms and like playing with it cuz idk sitting can be boring

Out of respect for RachelDrawsThis and his boundaries regarding his characters, I would like to stress that this is Augustine as I interpret and connect to him and should not be taken as reliable reference for his canon. My link to him is heavily influenced by my headcanons and self projection, and while it can and likely will bare similarities, should be recognized as separate from Augustine as Rach created and wrote him.

-[ Copinglink Info ]-

Media Talk - Fine by me, just be mindful when talking about the game’s bad ending. I don’t identify with it and don’t want to be associated with it personally or have assumptions made about me based on what happened there.

I don’t feel the need to list a general dni (besides basic dni, pro Israel/anti Palestine, proshippers, and endogenic systems/their supporters) and don’t really have one regarding my link, but I block very freely.

While canon Augustine is presumably 18 or older, I myself am a minor. Do not interact with me inappropriately.

Aside from identifying with Augustine, I’m still my own person. I’m the context of my link I sometimes incorporate myself more through headcanons and self projection. I might won’t always act “in character”, please don’t expect me to.

Oh yeah I'm in a music psychology class and our first assignment (afaik) was to make a short presentation on six songs that describe our lives. I wanted to share those, so here y'all go

This sounds like the woods to me, and those were a fundamental part of my childhood and a big influence in how I see the world. Also I really wanted to sneak a bit of dronescape (or dronescape adjacent) music into there lmao

My fucked up journey with my gender identity. It was. An Interesting phase. I'm not super proud of it, but it was a very chaotic time for me in a lot of ways. I was suffering with severe dysphoria, and since I didn't know why, I blamed everybody else. Throw in a few really toxic friends and influences I had, and. Yeah. Good song though lmao

Internet trauma go brrrrrrr. This is very much one of two (2) medias that I feel reflect what the internet is most clearly (the other one being Bolavlk by sournoodl). Fun song and describes a huuuuge portion of my trauma.

Threw this one in for a lot of reasons. Mainly, this song is an excellent tribute to horror as a genre (especially horror films), and horror has been the most influential genre for me. Highkey began with an interest in Creepypastas as a middle schooler, which turned into fucked up creature design, which turned into horror movies and other media. Harley Poe has some excellent horror songs.

This one is just very mecore, especially like. Post-trauma, and currently after I've had a lot of emotions tied to my trauma unrepress themselves. It speaks to my impulsiveness, this almost manic mask I put on in public, my intrusive thoughts, and the pervasive feeling of fundamental isolation from humanity (or at least general society). I feel like I've become something unrecognizable from the person I used to be, and I often feel very inhuman for it.

And this one is here because it's been a comfort song for me since I was around 15. It's lovely, and it also catapulted me into more experimental and undefined genres of music. It still makes me happy to hear, and I know most of the lyrics by heart.

I just got my classes figured out btw, after missing. An entire Week of class. So I'm catching up lmao. Thankfully there isn't too much. This presentation and an assignment for graphic storytelling analyzing Marvel and DC comics are the only two assignments I have. Everything else is just reading some class PowerPoints, documents, and segments of books. I just hope it's not too chaotic when I show up to class lmao. Hopefully I'll leave a good impression from preemptively doing all of the current assignments lmao

HELLO. HELLO. HELLO. HI. I LOVE YOUR TR ART!!!! I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN LOCKED IN A SOLITARY CONFINEMENT BOX FOR EONS THIS FANDOM IS SO DEAD I NEED PEOPLE WHO LIKE TR IN MY LIFE I SWEAR I AM NORMAL /vpos!!!!!!! please talk to me about tr my favorite character in TR is m... he's so mecore...

omg hi!!! howdyy!!!! tysm <33 very happi to see another tr enjoyer (have not seen any at all. is very pleasantly surprised)

i don't rlly have much to say honestly, though you're free to rumble about it to me whenever you'll like ^^

M!!! the fella ever.. guy tryin' his best. my tr favourite's sabre :D & a bit of origin.. he's just. he's there. not doin much, just wanna see the world before he goes.. ough/vpos

[lisxdumbr]

HELLO LIS i returned so quickly to announce that i am going insane MAMA EVENT mama event mama event mama event ohh... Ohh.. noo.. yes i produce this guy too (and then classes are returning as well on january) holy shit i feel a little insane.. maybe more than that.. Anyways

My reaction when 🌟anon noticed me: "omg they noticed me *sits on the sofa in silence contemplating it*" PLEASE PLEASE take care of yourself, treat urself to some good warm soup and heat <3 if one more sickness dares to touch you, you know when it didn't come, it means i beat it ass up (<- would actually not survive a second in a fight)

CONGRATS ON MIKA CARD!!! it is a big W for us. i hope u enjoy mika new outfit and beautiful spp and beautiful voice and beautiful visuals. Shu could describe him better. Valkyrie never disappoints.. so very skunkly!! :3

I have a funni story but i'll summarize it to keito wants to get noticed so bad (the 5* in the free x20 pulls, & called me after christmas) and yes i do produce akatsuki too i am sorry i even produce knights and ryusetai can u imagine the insanity

I was still in shock for mama event & if you ever saw a producer getting restrained in the ES grounds, that's me. Take care of yourself too!! (I have read ur prev reply btw)

— 🌻.

HELLOOOO AGAIN. happy Himeru scout is coming in half an hour and I am absolutely insane ! (← Crazy:BP) I still don't know if I'll pull though, I need to save for.my other priorities but ough. ANYWAY. MAMA EVENT !!! oh my god you're a ReiP and a MamaP. I know that a couple of my friends would like you very much just because of that.

I love Mama a lot despite not producing him, he has this special spot in my heart, I love my Mama oughh. Also the video was ?!3!&?4? I cried like 3 times watching it. And seeing two of my faves in it was just. Boom. I actually noticed some symbolisms and stuff in the video, I promised my friend Miyu that I would ramble about them but I haven't found the motivation </3

OHHH MY GOD MY ANONS ARE BONDING. Starry they noticed you 🌟 yes yes I agree, beating their sickness as we speak, I hope the cold season isn't making it worst at least </3

TYSM yes I !!!_?!4!4?4! God I am in love with that card, so mecore. You didn't know this before but my favorite Mika card ever was Poison À La Mode before, and this FS just feels like a remake of it. I am happy to have him, the curse is broken, after pulling for all the Mika's and not getting a single one, finally...

Omg I got s Keito last month in some free pulls too, though at least you produce him, in my case it was like ! well yeah (at least it was his FS, I did want that card before so fair). Oh if I get your insanity, I love all the square. You already know that I produce All Cospro. But I also love Alkaloid (specifically tatsumayo though) and I produce Natsume. I had a Souma and Tsumugi phase at some point but it was too much. screams. Also I love looove many individual characters, specially the littles. Sora, Tori, Hajime, Shinobu (of course I'm a yutaP) so every now and then I pull for them if I really like their cards. it's always just... head in hands. I can't help it, I love all of them </3

GOOD LUCK WITH ママ YOU CAN DO THIS !!! if you get restrained I will get so too, we are in this together.

Hey tumbleeesss how you tumbling, it’s time for your randomly dished out dose of my silly little art!

Ok so, this time I did a little bit of a challenge, I saw this on Drawfee. I’m sure you know who they are but if you don’t they’re this art challenge channel with great, lovely personalities they all seem really cool and not to brag but Jacob once liked my art on Twitter, I know, I know, I’m so cool but anyways.

The main gist of this challenge is:

You roll your music playlist, the first song is one character. You roll it again and the second song is a second character. AND THEN, THE 3RD SONG IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP. This can be platonic, romantic, indifferent etc etc but it’s so fun!

So this is what I rolled:

1: Clown by Updog

2: The Fall by Lovejoy

3: Tranz by Gorillaz

I had to figure out what all of these very different songs meant, how to turn them into characters, and how those characters/relationship look/feel like.

Clown is about this guy calling out this other obviously pretentious guy. So I started to think, who would call someone out no matter what, who would know so much about someone to be able to do that. Maybe a childhood friend? But that doesn’t give me a lot to work with. I’d watched a Monster Camp playthrough recently, the guy in it romanced the death reaper, so THAT got me thinking. I ended up settling on this clown (get it? Like the song name) demon who takes souls to the afterlife via travelling through their whole lives with them.

There’s the character designnnnn I love it it’s so cute yet menacing, NOW ONWARD TO THE FALL.

The fall was a bit more easier as I’d started to imagine it as a character before. It mainly helped with the colours but it also helped with the current falls “origins”. Tw for abuse for this next section, I’ll put it in red and make it small so you can skip it. So my idea for the fall was an abused person going on a roadtrip to nostalgic places as a break from their current toxic relationship. The nostalgic road trip backfires though and just reignites disgusted and angry feelings towards their parents due to y’know the abuse. So it’s safe to say the fall’s a very unlucky human being, THEY DESERVE BETTER. In my mind the song’s from their point of view addressing to herself as “we” sometimes to give her a better more authoritative and decisive look on things when it is necessary to her well-being. I made them look like this!

What if part of Mumbo jumbo became apart of the rift? The mumbo moustache was consumed and the Jumbo was taken over the process of a month. And because of this the rift protects Grian because friendship and this is why mumbo decided to build so close to the rift? But hey thya’s just a theory, a me theory

[finallymothman]

I can and will elaborate (stoned. If you read the whole thing and can more or less understand me? Props to you, I'll kiss you on the mouth)

Qualifications: I have watched this movie over 3000 times, and I'm autistic and I said so.

I'm literally rewatching this right now with my girlfriend and I'll just keep a running tab from the point in time the grasshoppers show up. While Hopper yells at Molt the way that only older brothers can, lemme give a few quick ones

Building: special interest

creative, out of the box thinking

Maybe he's ADHD too but that bug is not neurotypical

(Dear GOD what is wrong with Thumper)

Standing up for Dot: black and white morality, strong sense of justice

He's kind of gullible. Like yes this is a movie for babies, but Atta does not have to try very hard to convince him that she's not, ultimately, making fun of him. He also doesn't get that people cheer when he's Gone, not that they're cheering For Him. Also similar for the kiddos. He's really literal when the kids are kinda ragging on him from the beginning

I feel like when he was growing up he said he wasn't like "other bugs"

Tbh there is also a case for Dot, but I feel like that is the vase for all "later bloomer" stories

While we're waiting to see Flik again, we're doing the circus scene, I'm going to see if I can find any examples of him having sensory issues. I think it could be argued that he was sensory seeking??? And I feel like he does something with his hands consistently when he's excited that could be a subtle stim

God I love Francis

"Try not to look like a country bug. Blend in." I promise you, neurotypical people do not have to tell themselves to Blend In. Out Loud. "But Casper! This is a movie for babies!" OK! And? That's still his personality, even if they made him transparent enough for babies to understand.

Additionally, he is very literal and upfront with his whole everything. Like he's just genuine. And not that you have to have a high-masking/high-functioning blend with ADHD to present in the way he does. And, granted, he's also in a pretty desperate situation that the theatrics are kinda warranted when he asked the circus bugs to come back to Ant Island with him.

I would also like to make the statement that I think this is very much "undiagnosed high functioning autist through their own eyes"

Nobody really likes him, but he has great intentions, and even some big fuck ups are forgivable because they really were just accidents and you're so gosh-darn accident prone and who knows what could be the root cause of all that and your social difficulties and- ohhhh how was it not caught sooner?? type deals, you know?

and "They're just waiting for me to screw up"?????????????? Excuse me????

In the wrods of my good friend Mogan (Mo + Logan) "The plot of the movie is just "a small village sends their most autistic citizen to hire some assassins to get rid of their local despot, he returns with an improv group""

I feel like the average joe would not think to buld a bird, but ants don't have guns so really what's their alternative

While the story is preoccupied with the grasshoppers again (creepy fashy motherfuckers) -- I actually got distracted talking about a creepy af deleted scene where you watch the grasshopper die that Hopper buries under the grain

Anyway back to Ant Island here we go

Actually I think this is where the hand stimming scene pops up

"Thank you for finding them, Flik"

"Me?????" that is so mecore

Though I do think more autistic behavior would be for him to have told the queen and Atta about the circus bugs but just continued with the bird plan. However I totally understand that he was scared they would react exactly the way they did, but he also didn't give them the chance to react any other way by not telling them the truth

THE COLLECTIVE GASP JFC

Can I just say how stupid it is that they just drop his plan when they kick him out for lying? Like, they have I think one or two days until the grasshoppers come back, can you not just stick to the plan and deal with the personal shit later? They are going to KEEEELL you guys.

Also I have such a visceral reaction to seeing the grasshoppers walk out of the fog, it will never cease to freak me out. It's so creepy.

I don't think there are many other big moments that feel relatable with Flik in the tism sense for the rest of the movie, I'll reblog this again if I think of more, Dot is being chased by Thumper

Flik from A Bug's Life is autistic

tags i use!

most of the tags i use are fairly self-explanatory but sometimes they Aren't. also i just wanted to make a list of my tags

.txt : tag for all of My posts that are Me talking!

ghost tag : tag for ghost things and things that remind me of ghosts and sometimes they might seem unrelated but it's about the vibes okay

mecore : posts varying from 'haha i do that' to 'aesthetics i like' (mostly the former)

aes & etc : i suppose this is technically for aesthetic posts but in reality it's for things i want to put in a campaign/book someday. i just needed a tag for that that didn't make me sound batshit insane

all fandoms are tagged with their acronym! if it's too short to have one (like infinity train) i just tag it with the title.

all tw tags are [thing] tw, although i can sometimes be a bit bad at tagging mentions of things like gore. lmk if you need me to tag anything though!

-

dni/byf (:/):

i know i can't stop anyone from interacting, but i would prefer proshippers, dsmp fans, people who use terms like "sysmed", and pan & aro/ace exclusionists stay ten feet away from me (along with basic dni criteria such as terfs, maps, you know the drill)

i used to like sanders sides but i really don't anymore so please stop following me for my old sanders sides posts

i do occasionally make fandom posts but like 90% of this blog is my personal bullshit so if you follow me understand what you're signing up for

on a less serious note i also have a can you interact uquiz <3 no obligation to take it, but it would be funny

i sometimes go offline for a week or so, especially during summer/winter break! don't worry about me i am (probably) okay and will be back in a bit! if i am gone for more than three weeks you're allowed to assume the worst and pronounce me dead

mutuals can ask for me discord! even if we don't interact much... it is okay i would like to speak to you <3

that's it i think!
