#these are just my ramblings feel free to ignore

[acourtofwhatthefuck]

Random thought that I’m probably not articulating well, and maybe I’m deeping it too much, but I do find it a little alarming how much fanart I see that captures these characters’ beauty in the form of what is, essentially, Instagram/social media standard of beauty. Don’t get me wrong, everyone has the creative freedom to create what they want to create, and I can’t exactly say shit because I can barely draw a stick figure, but I’ve seen so many depictions of ACOTAR characters where they look like they’re pumped full of lip filler and other shit, where it looks like they have an Instagram filter on them, where there’s almost an uncanny look to them, and I find it interesting and, quite frankly, a little worrying, that that’s what so many people equate these characters’ stunning beauty to, as if they could not be beautiful any other way. We know that they’re supposed to have an ethereal, otherworldly beauty, because they’re ethereal, otherworldly beings, but it’s almost as if people have forgotten that there is beauty in things like freckles, and dimples, and different body types, and natural features and characteristics that make us who we are. It’s interesting that so many people translate that beauty into the carbon copy social media influencer standard of beauty, as if natural beauty isn’t quite enough. This isn’t everyone, of course — I’ve seen so much beautiful fanart that captures the beauty of these characters without turning them into instagram models. But there’s also a scary amount that does exactly that — maybe from younger members of the fandom? I don’t know. And I guess that has me wondering…is that all many people see beauty as now? Have we stopped appreciating the natural things about people that make them who they are? 🤔

Anyone else not able to say 'bless you', either because it feels too personal, embarrassing, slightly erotic or a mixture of all of the above-

Buuuuuut also whenever an event interrupts the conversation, you feel so much more awkward not saying anything/commenting on it at all, and so you wish you could just... say that phrase, or have some other thing that makes sense to say to just- shrug it off???

Hi Ro, it's been a hot minute (nope I'm not dead) but my adhd brain is going off on one again.....

I'm guessing that you know Stardew Valley, if not use whatever your fav game is, but I'm just imaging the brother trying to play stardew with MC and just not getting it.

Lucifer's trying really hard to get to grips with the game, Mammon's off somewhere trying to get all the money he can, Levi doesn't understand that you just wanna relax so he's pulling out all the speed run strats, Satan's getting pissed vuz he doesn't know why his character isn't doing what he wants it to do, Asmo's still in character creation, Beel what's all the food Gus is selling and Belphie is just out cold irl. While Mc is sat there going 'this is fine' while just tryna plant strawberries before spring 16th.

Love you Ro -🃏

Hiii 🃏!!! Glad to see you around again ‘n I totally get adhd brain sksjks Okay, but hear me out- I agree mostly just a couple little thoughts

Like how Lucifer is annoyingly good at almost everything so I think he’d catch on pretty quickly and he’d honestly enjoy the farming and planing out crops imo. although he’ll never admit it. He is having fun.

Mammon is absolutely off somewhere trying to make money- but if you point him in the right direction (to The Mines) and show him how he can get gems and even gold- he’ll be hooked! and suddenly he’ll have a full set of gold tools too.

Nothing to add about Levi. He totally would be doing a speed run to show off lolol

What’s Satan doing wrong? Or is his WiFi lagging- Either way, when he finally gets his controls working right he’ll be too busy following his cat around the farm to get anything else done.

Asmo’s going back and forth between the colors and outfits making sure it’s perfect as if his character isn’t just a handful of pixels ksjskjs

Beel is so real for that- he’d totally make sure to give Gus his favorite gift everyday too, while Beel gets more food ofc!!

and Belphie is totally laying across MC’s lap- so not only is he asleep and not playing or being helpful, MC’s legs are going numb and they can’t move or get away!-

and MC is the only one actually paying attention to what day it is and which crops need to go in and stressing out over getting the right seeds.

OK FINE OBLIGATORY YAOI POST RRGRGRGGGRR

genuinely so embarrassed to post it but um im trying to be brave ok. idk what they have going on but they are gay as fuck and probably also both on the aroace spectrum. And trans. And autistic.

[phantom-hogs]

i don't usually do these ramble type of things, but I thought it would be fun especially since I just thought of something lol.

y'know how we have extensively explored Shadows and Sonic's trauma in multiple fan comics and what not? Going into the real nitty and gritty and what not. Y'know who- even the people that really like him -have never really talked about?

Silver.

Like, don't get me wrong, I love our little dork. But can you imagine how absolutely traumatizing living in the literal end of the world must be? And even more traumatizing to grow up in that world would be? Living in dead world, where you and your best friend and maybe one of two other people are alive. Having no hope for any kind of future. Fruitlessly searching for a way to fix, knowing that you'll probably either die alone or in some horrible way and there's really no point to try, but you still do because that hope is quite literally the only thing you got left.

And even adding on top of that, imagine once the future - I know in canon they all lose their memories and what not, but fanon and the IDW comics (and even canon at this point, let's be honest) always ignore that, so stay with me - everything is normal, a Peace future. I have high doubts Silver knows how to be a, essentially, normal person. He's been in survival mode his whole life. (Presumably at least) Silver doesn't know how to go out of survival. Hell, I don't think this man even knows what a 9 to 5 is. He thought saving his future would bring immediate happiness, every single one of his problems solved. But now? He probably would even more isolated because him and blaze are the only ones to remember.

And if we bring IDW into this, this man came back twice because his future was in danger two more times (as of the time writing this) can you imagine how anxiety inducing that must be?

Like idk, maybe it's just me. But I feel like this man has more baggage than shadow at this point.

i have big desires for how tallulah and chayanne will react to possessed phil

because i constantly think about how phil reacted to code tallulah and chayanne because the WAY that he immediately clocked on it and IMMEDIATELY went “those aren’t my kids” he didn’t NEED to check those beds but he did to prove it to himself and everyone else. now it’s the reverse, phil is the weird one and the death kids are catching on. and i want so badly for them to clock on immediately. tallulah is already speaking to other eggs but i want to see her talk to other players, i know there’s so few trustworthy people on (as in they don’t join on) right now but like Bagi, Fit and maybe Cellbit, i don’t know when Etoiles coming back on but that would be cool to see. these are just like the most realistic ideas of who would help. (Tubbo with his current rp situation might not but also cc tubbo would probably want to help his friend so i have no idea how that would go) i see it like tallulah would spread the word while chayanne distracts “phil” from catching on, maybe even catching evidence like how phil did with the beds. the kids run around trying to help get their dad back but without “him” catching on. i already have SO many ideas how they could do this or further develop this idea. and then one day it ALL comes to ahead like phil never comes to get them from his looting, and they go to someone else who’s online and they start talking about how they have literally no idea where he is, like last stream sure he was gone for a while BUT he was checking the tab list every now and then, it was out of the normal but they were in fact not awake. i’m talking he sees they’re awake, he acknowledges to the crows they’re awake but he doesn’t go to them. i’m talking they’re awake for a whole 20 minutes, but he doesn’t STOP.

.

i should probably stop here :p

Full disclosure I’m not on my meds so everything is going to incite a huge emotional reaction from me but THE ACOLYTE BEING CANCELLED MAKES ME SO SAD 😭😭😭 

I keep thinking about Leslye Headland and how adorable and excited she was. I keep thinking of this dorky teenage Star Wars fan obsessed with the High Republic books and now she gets to bring that to life on TV. I want the world for her, it makes me so sad that it’s cancelled. I’m talking sell my soul, become a tech billionaire so I can buy a film studio where she can make all the gay star wars fan-fiction she wants. 

I think the reason it upsets me so much is because the cancellation is a result of fan negativity and review bombing, and that sucks because she’s a super-fan, she’s one of us. I think of queer closeted Leslye Headland writing Star Wars fanfic in secret notebooks at school, I think of Amandla Stenberg turning up to The Acolyte panel in Padme cosplay because thats her fave character, Manny Jacinto yelling ‘We’re doing Star Wars baby’ on set to remind himself this isn’t all a dream, Dave Filloni almost putting the phone down on LucasFilm and losing the job of a lifetime because he thought someone was playing a cruel prank on him, Pedro Pascal being so excited to play some random one off character not realising he was about to become Mr Star Wars himself, Ashley Eckstein creating a fashion line for female Star Wars fans because she wanted more options as a fan herself, Gwendoline Christie being distraught when she found out her agent turned down the audition for Phasma and ordering her to call them back, Athena Portillo driving around with her personalised Star Wars license plate not realising it would get her a job working on the very franchise she loved, the cast of Skeleton Crew being the sweetest giddiest giggliest gang of kids, Jon Favreau running up to George Lucas to show him designs like a child eager to show off his latest drawing, Josh Brener writing to JJ Abrams to try and get a Neeku cameo in Rise of the Skywalker, Diageo Luna talking passionately about ‘Little Arthur’, Steve Blum tweeting about his favourite ship, Ray Park doing all he can to be Maul in any stunt scene, San Witwer doing all he can to be Maul, period. I think of these and I see myself in all of them. 

I love Star Wars, I love Star Wars fans, and I love it when Star Wars fans get to make the content they want to see. These super-fans have put the work in to finally be able to make their dreams come true and it breaks my heart to see other ‘fans’ tear them down 😢

okay i'll bite, here's my jeremy knox speculations !!!

it's nothing super outrageous in my opinion, as fun and interesting as that would be, but alas lets dig in.

with regards to the police, his step grandfather is a congressman which means his step father probably has political ties too. this could mean they have ties to the police force perhaps involved in funding or something?? hence why jeremy would be recognised by them bc he gets forced to go to these occasions to paint a perfect family picture and maybe they're full of cops?? and maybe that's just not something he wants to be associated with lmao. cannot blame him now can we?

rhemann tells jean he can ask jeremy to leave the vicinity if he wants to press charges and call the cops i don't think this is because jeremy could get in trouble or anything bc i don't think rhemann would risk that. i think it's just because him being there might have sway or might lead to more gossip among the force that jean would wanna avoid. and if rhemann knows about whatever this weird avoiding police thing is i'm not sure it would be something so horrible??

in terms of his past. personally i don't agree jeremy was aggressive as a teen. i read him talking about his high school team as more of a "they played that way. i didn't vibe with it. i wanted to make sure my college team wasn't the same" i mean it's basically what he says he doesn't imply anything else but again the guy is closed off as HECK so god knows. but i don't think jeremy has an aggressive tendency. i feel like, given how the foxes have their entire lives pried into, if jeremy had such a reputation in the past (being in a class 1 team and captain of it no less) it would be known. and jean would know bc of kevin's obsession. like that would be a huge scandal.

i don't think he's done anything crazy like murder or manslaughter or has any assault charge. although that screenshot i posted a couple days ago is very Very sus, i think it might stem from how his family makes him feel about himself. because again i don't think he'd be able to keep any of that hidden.

UNLESS it's been all swept under the rug thanks to the political ties from the step family, and maybe that's why they dislike him so much. but again i think it's all a bit far fetched bc i don't think jeremy would be able to be so well adjusted after something like that, even after attending therapy.

which brings me to my next point, which is where he mentioned his mother finding the therapist for him and his family as he says "us" when talking about it which means they all see this therapist and jean mentions jeremy does not seem bothered to be exposed for having to go to therapy. i think if he was in therapy bc he did something really terrible he wouldn't want it known. especially if it's meant to be swept under the rug. i think this is in relation to the mysterious brother and the possibility of losing them to suicide. as he becomes very serious when jean says he promised he wouldn't kill himself saying it's nothing to joke about. also his concern for jean's wellbeing after ravens start dropping like flies maybe bc he knows how the grief feels.

thought that could also be a far fetched speculation because jeremy says the fall banquet broke their family in half. it's obvious his step family and his older brother and younger sister are not on his side, his mother sounds questionable too. so maybe that just leaves his other brother and his father and again maybe it's just a case of them being supportive of jeremy's sexuality.

there's also a brief mention of jeremy's dad being stationed in europe - some kind of military man?? since his mother re-married there's definitely something there too. maybe jeremy still keeps in touch with his father and it's not appreciated by the rest of the family? idk this one's a bit of a stretch but i feel like it might crop up again. what with jeremy not wanting to be addressed as "knox" as well - is that his father's name or his step father's name??? why does he not like it??

moving on to the scandal at the fall banquet i think this has to do with jeremy getting outed for being gay. lucas before cutting himself off at the beach says "now that you're.." implying they didn't know before so maybe jeremy was keeping it under wraps but got involved with someone from another team (???) at the banquet and got caught. his step grandfather and step father, and brother are probably very conservative and of course did not agree with jeremy's "lifestyle" and i think this had consequences on the whole family as it probably got out and "tarnished" their image. jeremy was probably asked to give up exy so as not to get involved with all "that" and he obviously refused. punishment for that probably meant his sister not caring for his games anymore as he wouldn't compromise for her, him getting put on a strict allowance and his mother's bookkeeper having to keep up with his expenses bc he's only given a certain amount of money. maybe a way for them to take back control over his life?? it also could explain why he has to stay at home during the school year so they can keep an eye on him perhaps??? also him getting dismissed from the dinner table bc of his hair as well idk sounds like his family are probs homophobic. also kind of a stretch but mayyyybeee the reason jeremy feels so bad is because he got the person he was involved with into trouble so he feels like a terrible person. but again there's really no alluding to that or implication i'm basically just taking a wild guess. but i feel like it would make some sort of sense

TLDR; i think jeremy's big "scandal" was that he's gay and his step family are just not accepting so they make his life difficult on purpose and he struggles to stand up to them about it

[poisonedfate]

watching merlin is all fun and games until you start wondering why merlin was ready to sacrifice himself from the very beginning and realise it's for the sake of having a purpose. a kid from a small village with powers greater than anyone could even begin to explain, told to hide and tuck away such a large part of himself, because just by being himself the world would turn into a more dangerous place. he's then sent to the very heart of said danger, seeing first hand, again and again, what happens to people like him. and once again he's told not to say anything, to be careful. all this weight he carries due to his magic - it has to mean something right? sure it's helpful here and there, but it also brings about worries for him and those he loves. it HAS to be for something. of course the bright-eyed and unknowing merlin from s1 would latch onto the fate and the destiny of it all. it's a purpose, it's meaning, it's a reason, it's an explanation. from the very beginning, he just wanted to be, feet sold on the ground. and, yeah, people often seek out meaning for their lives, but it's an interesting play with magic itself, as it's so hated. all the suffering and fear and secrets. no wonder those with magic had determinations made of steel, born out of pure spite and unguarded need to exist for something more, something beyond what they're told.

[colourfulmes]

Bit if a ramble here idk don’t mind this but

The people who constantly ask from creators one singular thing bother me, it’s been happening a lot from Eggsmr with hazbin hotel fans begging him to make more Lucifer x listener ASMR Even though he’s ALREADY MADE 4 PARTS and said he wasn’t gonna do anymore, please be glad you got 4!!!

So much demand has caused him to state that he doesn’t feel like making anymore of character impressions/ASMRs and that sucks for the people who enjoy those but also Egg himself-

I’ve seen this type of stuff before, especially within fandoms such as NWTB, back when Nate was grinding pulling out so many FNAF songs just to please people and fans that he got sick of it, he only uses the FNAF brand to post music because he knows fandom music is the only thing that’ll reach to the audience and algorithm

Like, fuck YouTube for shadowbanning his ass to only make fandom music but I’d love to hear more original stuff not only from Eggsmr and Nate but other creators too!

As much as I love making fandom content and obsessing over my goobers, please respect others wishes on wanting to make their own original stuff, their things are just as good as the fandom things!!!!

[funkytoesart]

concept for one of the main/central characters of a possible webcomic I wanna start soon :)

[gengarartblog]

Not really phases of the incident but more like different concepts of what could have happened? These are mostly scrapped now but I figured I could post them since they were technically almost done. This is again leaning into the "what if Dalv was the Integrity SOUL's final boss fight" idea I had. Maybe if I figure this out I'll make a doodle page or something.

Ramblings below the cut for my thought process atm when it comes to me trying to figure out the timeline of events with the Snowdin Incident. Because I am fucking STRUGGLING with this one.

Enjoy the scrapped concepts and, if you read it, the rambling below the cut.

All I know that I have to work with is:

-Kanako was unharmed -Dalv was injured, bad enough to be traumatized by it. He's also aware of the integrity human dying. (He mentions that day just repeating for him, which is probably flashbacks.) -Chujin knows that Dalv was injured, and instead of comforting his daughter or helping Dalv, he sends Axis after the human only to arrive to an absolute mess of a scene when he finds Axis and the remains of the human.

So the first issue:

Did Chujin and Axis show up before the human ran? Chujin was told by the other Snowdin residents about the human and he definitely found Kanako and Dalv at least. I'm actually starting to lean towards him having not arrived before the human ran since Chujin mentions that Kanako had no one to protect her (technically incorrect, as Dalv was 100% there and likely would have been protecting her. BUT if he had died then she would have been next with no one to save her). This would mean that for Kanako to be unharmed and for Dalv to be still alive, one of three things had to have happened:

a. The human decided to spare Dalv. Maybe because they didn't want to kill in front of another child or because they just decided to spare Dalv after beating him up. They then ran to waterfall because that was the next area they needed to go to get to the castle, and had no idea that Axis would be following soon.

b. Dalv managed to deal enough damage that the human decided to flee. He does mention holding back against Clover, and he's one of few monsters that live long enough to speak a few sentences after a fatal hit (like Starlo, Ceroba, Papyrus, and Undyne to name a few examples, who are all stronger regular monsters). And as we've seen from Undyne, even regular monsters can hold their own against a human if they're protecting someone or something. Hell, with Undyne we even have to run from her to be able to spare her in UT. The problem with this is that Dalv mentions that he won't run away this time ("All I know is that somehow... you found me. Sorry to make things difficult but I'm not cowering away this time"). But I'm not sure if he means the snowdin incident or if he means when he ran away twice from Clover in the dark ruins. Because while he's mistaking Clover for the integrity human here, he did run away from them in the dark ruins. However the pillar fun value event has Dalv running away???

c. Dalv and Kanako ran when they had the chance. But then why did the human run to waterfall instead of just wiping out snowdin? Sure Dalv and Kanako could have been the last monsters the human encountered before waterfall, but then Chujin would have likely encountered the human before Dalv and Kanako did. Not only that but from the sounds of it, Dalv stuck around for a bit probably due to injuries since Chujin mentions that he should have stayed to help calm Kanako down and to help Dalv with his injuries.

So what the hell is the timeline of events here? Like. Was the human already past Snowdin and went backwards for some reason at some point? Maybe they found out what happened to some of the other humans and that upset them to the point where they started violently defending themselves? I dunno.

The second issue:

Who the hell is the "friend" that Dalv mentions in his journal that apparently "doesn't exist"? I'm guessing it's whoever was leaving the corn right? Maybe Kanako since he said it's been a year?

I have no idea. I'm gonna go back to trying to figure out more stuff and put a timeline together for this. See ya.
