hi hi! you can call me ren (or alt or w/e permutation of my discord handle and display name you wanna workshop),

i’m late-late 20s, she/her, and exceedingly queer (and mentally ill!). i have the ability to type in proper sentence case just fine, but this is how i talk casually, and how i communicate ooc!

i’m a novella/multipara writer whose word count fluctuates depending on the scene. description heavy scenes like starters, scene transitions, new locations, etc, tend to be long. i’m talking in the 2kw without blinking territory, sometimes going all the way up to 4k (and could probably go 5k if my partner was similarly long winded askdjfg). but then for things like dialogue heavy scenes or fight scenes that require a lot of quick, decisive actions and decisions, i can go as low as about 200-300w. because of this i don’t at all expect you to mirror me post for post, but i do ask that bare minimum you’re comfortable at least hitting the 1k range, as well as comfortable with receiving long fuck off posts from yours truly askdjf

i write third person present tense, and i will write any gender and sexual orientation you ask for! i’ll be looking for either canon x oc or oc x oc for my side, which will be m/f, but my f!oc is queer herself, so it’ll be a queer flavor of m/f alskjhdfg. for your side! i am happy to write anything. canon, oc, male, female, trans, enby, whatever you want, just ask!

i do ask that any potential partners be preferably 25+. i also ask that we double, unless you only want to play the love interest i’m ask for against my oc, in which case we don’t have to double. but i’d love to double for you! i want to double for you! i will even triple for you, if you want a love triangle or a poly relationship.

my mediums are discord and email, exclusively!

i also have some limits i will ask you abide by. i do not want you to godmod my oc, i do not want you to discuss the topics of: alcohol, drugs, smoking/vaping, or substance abuse in or out of character (this includes meme images, emojis, etc. i don’t want to write about it i don’t want to see visuals of it, and i am very serious about this. they are limits and triggers. please respect them like you would anyone else’s triggers even if they’re not as commonplace). i also don’t wish to write about sexual assault or abuse, or any sort of incest/pedophilia/the usual limits for this community. additionally, i do not write smut. i fade to black, and that (along with my limits) are non negotiable. and of course likewise, i will respect any limits you have!

with all of that out of the way, we can move onto the fun things! today i am looking for

star trek: the next generation

heads up and fair warning! i’m in the middle of a rewatch, and the last time i saw this was?? 15-20 years ago, so i don’t remember a whole lot. i’m only in season three so far (around e4). but i would loooove to write in tng aaaaaaa i just rly love its vibes askjkdf

against my f!oc, i am looking for you to write one of the following: riker an oc with a faceclaim i choose

in return, i can write anything you like! though i do have some canons i’d be especially excited to write for you if given the chance! these are: 💛💛💛 data 💛💛 geordi ❤️❤️❤️ picard 💙💙 deanna

if interested, please feel free to reach me at my discord [altimit.os] or my email [altimit.osx (at) gmail (dot) com]

you can also reach out on tumblr for initial discussion, but please know i do not roleplay over tumblr!

Hi! I have a request, but first i wanna say your writing is absolutely amazing! The length + amount of time you put into these prompts is insanely good. Now! Onto the request, how would the boys react to a reader from a more modern era? Maybe a more modernized hyrule or our current point in time?

Masterlist

Thank you so much for the compliment! I'm happy to see the response even if this blog is still relatively new.

I hope I do your prompt justice.

I probably could have done a headcanon list but I was hit with inspiration.

I also might have given Reader some backstory.

Scenario below the cut! It’s long, take caution.

It was a cool night, but you didn't mind. Your bed was warm, the WiFi was fast and even if it was three AM on a school night, you managed to keep yourself giggling with cat videos and blursed memes until the words and colors merged.

A night well spent.

But it led to questionable decisions.

Even if the shredded cheese in the fridge was beginning to seem a more and more enticing snack, your body was tempted to succumb to slumber.

Until a large purple light encompassed the entirety of your window.

Something was in your backyard.

Aliens. Your tired brain supplies and you sprint to the glass and push away the curtains. Is this it? Is this where I'm kidnapped and never seen or heard from again?

You pull out your phone and open up the camera.

"Pics or it didn't happen." You remind yourself and snap a few before showing your face.

What you see isn't what you're expecting. Instead of a flying saucer in the sky beaming down a laser or a weird pear shaped space craft on top of the grass, there's a single panel of glowing light, swirling with black accents that creeps in a circular motion.

"Cheese and crackers...." You gasp and begin to blatantly stare at it with no regard to whether something may be coming out of it.

You wait and nothing happens.

You wait some more and nothing happens.

You spend an hour watching this portal that has appeared out of nowhere, waiting for something to happen, willing for something to happen. But you get nothing.

The unknown stares right back at you, unblinking and unchanged.

Go through it. A voice tells you. What if there's something on the other side?

"I'm going to die." You gulp and take a deep breath.

Who else gets a chance like this? The voice talks again. This could be a grand step towards a more modern society. A whole new world could be on the other side, waiting, reaching out, calling to humanity!

You think you a see a shadow move behind the portal and out of sight but it’s gone before you can even process it.

"Should I call the police?" You step away from the window, ignoring the thoughts, the voice- you're too tired to know if it's your own any more. What's the plan? How does one go about something like this?

Where’s your sense of adventure? Pack a bag and go! What if it goes away?

That last thought seems to get through to your tired brain and for a reason beyond your understanding, it latches onto it.

Now you’re excited.

You run to the closet and take out your old backpack. It used to be for school but it was fancier since it was the only one you could get. The bag had a replaceable water bag with a plastic straw connected through the back of it and the straps have just worn down enough to where they’re actually comfortable. It doubled as a hiking backpack and came with its own insulated lunch box that clasped on the back of it.

It’ll finally serve its purpose.

You quickly roll up your favorite blanket and strap it in tightly beneath the lunch box. You’re quick to take out two extra outfits and pack them as well as change out of your pajamas.

Ok. What would you need? You don’t know where you’d be going so this has to a catch all kind of deal.

You pack away your swiss army knife first for good measure. A solar powered charger for your phone and an extra pair of socks follow suit even after you’ve picked out the extra clothes.

You take out the water bag and run to fill it all the way to max capacity as you think of any other necessities.

You’d need food. You have a small jar of peanut butter and granola bars that can fit in the lunch box. You can bring your extra water bottle and put in the side pockets of the backpack, and maybe bring some of those powered flavor packets your brother loves so much. You think he has lemonade and some green tea ones.

Those would be great. He won’t mind, hopefully.

You let the bag overfill momentarily before running back to shove it in your bag. with the lid screwed tight.

Next you run to the kitchen, grabbing the first things that you thought of already and begin to look around for more.

You grab an unopened pack of beef jerky, a bag of veggie sticks and a half eaten bag of dried mangos.

During your search you grab the water bottle and fill that too.

You return to your room with your bounty and begin to carefully put everything in the box. With some more deliberation, you run back to the kitchen and make yourself a quick sandwich, eat it, make another one and pack that as well.

You look out side the window and the portal is still there.

The sun is beginning to rise now so you’re trying to go as fast as you can, unless you want to neighbors to think something is going on.

Even if it is.

You’re about to leave but in a stroke of brilliance, you run to pack sunscreen and bug spray as well. You see a small first aid pack that was bought recently for when you would take your family vacation but you reason that it might one of the most important things you’d have if you got hurt.

Into the bag it goes.

You grab your hoodie before you leave the door, wrap it around your waist and pocket your phone, your headphones and your wallet.

You feel immediately under packed when you step outside and see the portal up close.

It’s weirdly triangle shaped, you think and step closer.

You reach your hand out and try to touch it. It feels as if you put your hand through a humidifier but it’s not wet. It’s misty and cold but not necessarily unpleasant.

An idea hits you right before you take your first step through.

You pull up one of the earlier photo’s you took and send it to your friend’s group chat. It showed up in my backyard. I decided to make a bad late night decision and I’m going through. If you never hear from me again, I want you all to fight over my electronics. Winner takes all. Godspeed.

And you step through.

You had first assumed that it would merely take you tot he other side but very quickly realize that you have to walk through it.

The first part still had a little light but with time, it got darker. So dark that you couldn’t even see your hand in front of your face.

You kept walking.

As fast as the light disappeared, it came back and you stepped into the light of an open field, right in front of one, two, three, four, nine males that had appeared to be traveling towards you or rather, towards the portal.

The portal disappears in the process.

“Oh so we didn’t have to go through it! We had to gain another member!” One of them yells. “Would have been nice to know before we packed everything up!”

“Ho boy, where am I?” You ask and tighten your grip on your backpack. Why didn’t I bring a weapon?

They all had long tunics and swords on their backs. Old fashioned leather boots and hand bracers were the norm in this group and you realized very quickly that your jeans and t-shirt had wildly missed the memo.

“Dang, I didn’t think I’d walk into a LARP group. Sorry about that.” You sheepishly smile. “I had no idea where the portal was going to take me. But if you would be so kind-”

“Wait, what’s LARP?” One of them speaks up. He was a dirty blond and somewhere in the middle of the group height wise. He wore a white cape like thing with blue designs on the back but you didn’t recognize the symbol.

“Live Action Role Play?” You tilt your head. “It’s why you’re all dressed like that? Right?”

“This is just our clothes.” What appears to be the youngest bounces up to you. “What are you wearing?”

“First I could grab in my closet.” You admit and look down on it. It’s one of your comfiest shirts and best looking pants. You’re a little proud of yourself for finding those in the dark.

“Weird.”

“We’re heroes. We’re all named Link.” Cape guy speaks up again. “Is it safe to assume that you’re in the same boat?”

“Heroes?” Your eyebrows furrow together. “I’m not a hero and my name’s not Link.”

You’re quick to tell them your name and you watch as the confusion covers their faces. “My brother’s name is Link though if that helps anything.”

“Oh we needed him!” The youngest groans and it instantly irks you.

“What would you need with a five year old?” You deadpan and cross your arms. 

The information stuns the group.

“The portal showed up in the middle of the night and I’m the one that went through it. I’m pretty sure I was the only awake to even see it. Are you telling me that it was for my little brother?” You’d be lying if you said that you weren’t a little pissed. “My baby brother was supposed to go through it? He was asleep! He’s five. What kind of logic is that?!”

“Well...” The biggest and oldest of them runs a hand over his face. You think he has some cool tattoos and sick scar going across his eye but he looks about as angry as you feel, so you don’t say anything. “It appears the gods truly do not care for the hero’s maturity, only his existence.”

“Ok...What’s with all this hero talk?” You bite back. “What did... Where am I?”

“Hyrule.” The second with cool face tattoos speaks up. He’s got a large fur pelt around his shoulders and you have to tighten your grip against your backpack again to keep from reaching out to touch it.

Even so you feel yourself deadpan even more. “Hyrule? Like the ancient empire? The one that collapsed more than two thousand years ago? That Hyrule?”

You’re inclined to not believe them and write all of them off as crazy... but you also walked through a portal. And your grandma did say that magic existed in the strangest forms.

They all share looks of concern and some begin to murmur quietly amongst themselves but you’re too far gone to even notice.

“Did I time travel?” The idea hits you like a bus and you feel your eyes widen as you stare beyond the group. You quickly take our your phone and unlock it.

No signal.

“Is that a type of Sheikah slate?” Someone asks you.

“I don’t know what that is.” You reply automatically. “Wait, hold on, what year is it?”

“Why don’t you tell us what year you’re from and we can start from there?” The darkest brunette of the group speaks up.

“202x PC” You say robotically, not really processing the world around you anymore.

“That’s...” The blond with a long blue scarf speaks up with a slight hiss. “...Beyond any of our timelines. You see, we all come from different worlds and eras of Hyrule’s history.”

“I don’t think you’re the farthest down anymore, Wild.”

“This would then make them my successor, right?”

“It would make their brother your successor.” Someone amends. “I think they just jumped in his place.”

“Leave my brother alone.” You snap back into the present, pocketing your [hone again. “Ok, you know what, screw it. I don’t know what you’d want my brother for but I’m here now. I’d gladly take his place if it means he gets to stay home!”

“Hey.” A boy with pink hair stalks up to you looking a little more serious than you’d like.

“Nice hair dude, way to defy the gender norms.” You smirk a little before genuinely grinning, hoping to quell the tension. “What product do you use? It looks like Artic Fox but not every place sells their brand.”

“...I have no idea what you’re talking about but what happened to Ganon in your world? How have you been handling it?” He snaps and places his hands on his hips.

“Ganon? Like my old principle? That’s a name I haven’t heard in forever.” You’re confused again. “Last I heard he joined the police force only to be reassigned out of state. I don’t know what’s happening with him. Kinda hope he gets fired though. He’s not a bad guy but he’s not someone you’d want in that kind of position of power, you know.”

“Police force?”

You blinked and look them all over. They look very medieval. “Oh... You don’t have that...”

You begin to think about your history lessons and what they might be familiar with if they’re telling the truth about being from Hyrule.

“Ya’ll got knights?”

Many, almost all of them nod, a few with face of despair already on them before you finish speaking.

“It’s kind of like that. Mixed with a towns guard position... kinda. They enforce laws... at least they’re supposed to but the whole system is flawed and racist and really needs to be dismantled for the abuse of power that they have-”

“Abuse? Of power?” You have their attention again.

“It’s stupid and it won’t really make any sense if I try to explain because I doubt you have anything similar but it’s basically a group of people given the right to treat the public in anyway they like for their own benefit because they have no one telling them that they can’t.” You groan and slowly begin to feel your lack of sleep catch up to you. 

You slowly reach to behind you and sit down on the dirt, looking at all of them. “Mr. Dragmire wasn’t like...Demise or anything but he was a huge jerk. No one liked him. He liked me though. I remember that. I was the envy of the whole school because I somehow got on his good side while everyone else wants to strangle him. I think he was transferred for some misdemeanor or something like that... like he might have been throwing hands with someone he wasn’t supposed to. I never heard all the details. I didn’t really care for it when it happened either. I’m pretty sure he lost that fight though. The dude looked like a blast of wind could have knocked him over let alone someone’s knuckle sandwich.”

“I would love to hear more about this.” The youngest sits next to you with a large grin on his face. His eyes are bright and his body language reminds you of your cousin Zelda. You instantly think they’d get along like a house on fire. “What are your monsters like?”

“Monsters?” You tilt your head. “Be a little more specific bud, it depends on where you’re from.”

“You have that many?!”

“It depends on if you believe they’re real or not.”

“Speaking of monsters, can you fight?” The shortest walks up to you. You like that his tunic is stitched up with multiple colors and designs. It gives it personality, you think. “Do you have a weapon you’re more comfortable with?”

The question throws you off your rhythm and you don’t fight your wince. “What would happen if I say that I do not, in fact, have any sort of weapon on me?”

“I wouldn’t believe you.” Pink guy speaks up again. “That pack is huge, there has to be something in there.”

“It’s food, water and extra clothes my guy.” You lean back against said backpack since it won’t let you lay down with it still on. “Not a lot of space for anything else. I’m pretty good at hand to hand combat though. Karate’s a good way to fight out stress.” 

“Your bag’s not magic?”

“Why the hell would it be magic? ...Are you trying to tell me magic actually exists?” You raise an eyebrow as your eyes begin to close against your will. “I know my grandma said it does but I thought she meant like fairies and shadow demons.. and bigfoot. Can’t forget him, he’s the real MVP... You know...Children’s bedtime stories and stuff like that, it’s not real. But like magic magic? Magic items and the like? Find me Tinkerbell and I’ll show you Neverland, that’s what I say.”

“Are you serious?”

“Second star to the right, straight on till morning.” You respond.

There’s a moment of silence as the group in front of you processes your words. It’s hard to tell their reaction since you’re not looking at them but you no longer have the energy to do anything else.

“Are you falling asleep right now?” It’s the one they called Wild.

“I...” You try to open your eyes. They don’t budge. “I haven’t slept in nearly 20 hours... I think. I might have past 24 hours a while ago actually. Portal showed up at like four in the morning... I had to get up at six and I didn’t sleep at all before then.”

More silence.

“Great another one.” Someone scoffs.

You snort.

“Why did we pack up camp again?”

“No one kill me.” You say right before you lose consciousness. “Please and thank you.”

“They’re doomed.”

“Have some faith Vet. They stepped in for their little brother. That has to mean something?”

“They’re in for a rude awakening, and that’s all I have to say about it.”

[throwaninkpot]

RotT reactions part 2!

costis, what are you doing here, shouldn't you be in roa? shouldn't you be with kamet? costis, where's kamet? what happened to him? tell me!

"who really owns anything?" eugenides, you utter meme.

if tattoos a custom in eddis, does. .....does helen have tattoos? oh my word, please tell me helen has tattoos, she would look so cool.

so, so, so, horrible invasion, giant army, logistics of war. it's very terrible and interesting, but where kamet? where my boy? is he okay? costis just LEFT him behind, bc he had to get word back to attolia, I don't blame him, I love him. but is kamet okay????????????????????

rip to all the cottage fic people probably wrote about the two having a chill time in roa. (idk, I haven't checked.) megan said we can't have nice things.

"find yourselves another king" uhhhhhhh, gen?

gen said no more king, now only Thief and Hot Consort To The Sexy Queen.

awww, sophos gave him a book of poetry for his birthday. I love sophos.

"attolia says she leaves with you" *spends several long minutes clutching at my chest repeatedly as I am Overwhelmed*

you know the quote in koa about a careful dance of shafow and unsubstance but under it all, a real marriage of two people? that's literally this. the queen is surely calculated her possible responses to gen, amd this is either a Pointed Message to gen or to the barons, and I'm still not sure what gen is up to actually, but also. she loves him, guys. they're in love. "she leaves with you". they're in love.

"I asked her to leave with me on our wedding night" of course he did.

"except me, I can do anything I want" :'D

they're too soft. I cannot.

go, costis! save your boy!

..........is this where I formally apologize for rolling my eyes back in 2016 when people shipped teleus/relius? I genuinely did not see this coming.

megan said okay, we've been on our best behavior, it's been 25 years, she will sprinkle in a little canon queerness. and then upended a flour sack of it on us.

"he had to bend to keep his lips on hers until she reached the ground" they're too cute, this is illegal.

oh, now THAT'S some soap opera level nonsense. how awkward was it for gen and helen knowing his father was a spurned lover of her mother

sometimes soldiers. I am eating this stuff up.

they get no apology. h*ck the pents. maybe they should have chosen an ambassador that didn't force himself upon women.

"where sounis's father positively beamed with approval at his son, eddis's minister of war glowered. the high king, slumped in his seat, catching his father's glare, slumped even further." it be like that.

ten to one. oof, oof, oof.

okay, the solution is, one of gen's sisters should beat up cleon and therespides.

gen. you were the one paying him. I don't know why I'm ever surprised by the tangled schemes you wrap yourself up in.

every scene that the four monarchs are together, just having a good time and loving each other and sounding so much like the young people they are, every time, it makes me happy.

the fandom tried to figure out at what age boys left the dorms in Eddis, didn't we? I think we settled on 12 or 13. gen killed someone before he was 13. hachi machi.

he called him "my brother sounis". awww.

"without cheating" is that what we're calling godly visits now

eugenides will give me a heart attack, I swear.

they call it return of the thief bc this is the most like himself gen has acted since the crenellations in KoA.

(fitting that this is the book with a neuroduvergent pov, bc I have never happy stimmed more in my life than during the chase scene.)

when he starts windmilling, now I am afraid. oh please, megan, don't let him be hurt.

thank the gods.

helen wearing an eddisian uniform. heck yeah! gnc helen rights continue!

"it was the last lighthearted moment for a long time" :(

they're leaving the city, and I'm suddenly remember the comment from back in book of pheris 1 about an attack by a tomb. am afraid.

it's loving the magus o' clock. he treats pheris so well.

irenides baby......2!!!!

"I don't understand" you and me both, sophos.

"I think they have to show their worst selves sometimes in order to be sure that even at their worst they are loved" I need a minute.

I love tactics and logistics, but I wish I could picture this my head. the map doesn't actually help me figure out where the forces are in perspective.

megan really wasn't exaggerating when she said eugenides's first reaction to seeing an elephant is "I want to steal one."

"he muscled up his other arm and said he would destroy the Medes single-handed" these books are giving me a stroke. megan, that pun was beautiful.

"I have found Kamet!" I'm going to be sick. he had better be okay. he was supposed to be free of nahuseresh.

nasty man had better be lying. my kamet had better be okay.

oh, costis. okay, okay, alright.

why is cleon's death so sombering. I think it's bc I just reread "Thief!", and met him as a teenager in that. I think it's bc it says he's one of three cousins that died that day, and gen already lost so many cousins during the war in QoA. I loved the country of eddis when I was first reading these books and forever after that, bc it's so full. there's a very communal child-rearing system and gen has these packs of cousins, even if most of them spent their childhood bullying him, I loved the idea of having so much family around you. he's running out of family.

oh. I went back to reading from writing that, and. stenides. oh.

I said I wanted gen's siblings, but not like this.

well, here's some cairns. presumably the tombs pheris's foreshadowed earlier. here we go, something bad is going to happen.

Something Bad Happened.

oh, no, Hilarion. D:

*tiffany haddish voice* NOMENUS??? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS. I PUT YOU ON MY BINGO.

the man at the cairn. the god on the battlefield that megan referenced? but eugenides called him a dead man. so not a god. so, did he recognize him as someone he knew to be dead?

"my cousins know not to trust my tears" once again, gen's hail mary is the fact he's a little snipe.

he says he needs a heavier rain, and the gods deliver.

f in chat for nomenus. he was a snake, but still.

"and by my oath to my god, now and for my life, Thief of Eddis." YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Philo. :(

rip to Legarus and his Awesome Beauty.

they want to kill gen in The Thief? eddis's council wanted to kill him? I'm reeling from all the backstory this book is revealing.

not quite how I had the apotheosis pictured, and yet. *sufjan steven's ascension plays in the background*

"I say it three times, Fordad. It will be so. It will be so. It will be so." holy heck.

someone get in here and analyze that for biblical symbolism.

HE CALLED DOWN LIGHTNING. HOLY

narration only calls him eugenides in that scene with the lightning. significant.

"feeling the tremor in it, he opened his arms to catch the king as he fell." he has fallen and been caught by his god and fallen and been caught by his dad.

I think we'll call the interregnum an interlude into the underworld, if not a journey into.

oh, gods, relius.

for a former spymaster, he sure trusted too easily.

he could have had his farm in the gede valley, but he stayed to help irene and gen. oh, relius, relius.

sejanus has a saving grace afterall.

dite and sejanus protecting each other, and pretending to hate each other so that sejanus at least can be on good terms with their father, that all clicks into place when you know about their older brother who they probably loved just as much.

crying crying crying over Sejanus and Pheris.

the minster of war. D:

at least nahuseresh is dead.

gen lay down to sleep by his father's corpse.

the patrimony divided in three. a triangle.

sophos/helen baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that gen, knowing his cousin and also being a little sneak who notices everything, figured out helen was pregnant before sophos even did.

f for sejanus. he wasn't as bad as he seemed, and not nearly as bad as he almost was.

oh, xenophon died, too. he of the wooden cannons and receiver of the infamous "I love stupid plans" line.

why is everyone dead. :(

"they're at the pickets, both of them" oh, thank you, jesus. TWO PEOPLE WHO AREN'T DEAD. MY BOYS.

she dreams of Eddis empty. there's no words for the relief I feel.

twinssss!!

and yet they don't tell us the name!!!!! what was the MoW's name??? what is their son's name??? megan!!!!!!

gen holding his daughter for the first time and offering to pitch her off a roof. I don't even have words.

hector. hector. hector hector hector.

rooftop dance!!!!!!!!!!!

HE'S OKAY. RELIUS IS OKAY.

(you couldn't give us one costis and kamet dance? no, it's fine.)

peace. peace. peace.

crying.

OC Music Meme

I was tagged by @raven-of-domain-kwaad​ , thank you! :D I shall tag (no pressure as always, only if you want to!): @mercurypilgrim​ , @mimabeann, @rainofaugustsith​ , @thelastenvoyyy​ , @a-master-procrastinator and anyone else who wants to do this one, yes, I promise I mean you!

Yaaay another music meme, I LOVE these, as any of my long-term followers/mutuals probably know :P Oh no, Raven what have you done! 🤣🤣

        List one or more songs that relate to the following

*drags Rai and her three consecutive playlists full of songs in here and plops her down proudly* Now I’m not joking when I say combined her three playlists would run for ~10 hrs if I played them all back-to-back. Sooooo for that reason I will be trying to restrict myself to 3-4 songs per “question”, except for the last one which is annotated with an explanation there, ANYWAYS!

reminds you of them most:

Down To The Bottom - Dorothy :: This is a very new one to her playlist (discovered a few days ago), but it still vibes so well with Saarai’s attitude to love, and her need to have some sort of emotional closeness to other people, to love and be loved, or else she just doesn’t function quite right

Up The Wolves - The Mountain Goats :: This was one of Rai’s first EVER theme songs that made it onto her list as I gave the Ahaszaai the backstory that led to them becoming main characters, so it feels only right that I include it here. To me it perfectly sums up her character progression, from a frightened young woman with a lot of skeletons in her closet and no willingness to be a commander of anything or confidence that she could, to a strong and dedicated leader willing to do whatever it takes to protect the people she works with, and make sure that the person who once took it from her family will suffer the righteous justice he deserves for his actions. Oddly enough, Saarai never goes back to take over the Sith Empire as D’leah planned (in Subterfugeverse anyways), they do eventually “come home” and build something of their own with the other members of the Alliance <3 

Bruno Is Orange - Hop Along :: This song is very important too. It makes me feel a lot of things and as I developed more of Saarai’s backstory and began tying everything together, it became an essential part of her backstory. This is 100% a “Saarai Song” in my brain (and I’ve had the script for that meme planned out for over a year, I’ll get to it soon :3), summing up the chaos and her own feelings on what happened with Tsâhis (and her mother and sister’s reactions to finding out about what happened, and Ty, the baby which resulted from that clusterfuck of a relationship)

Someone New - Hozier :: Kinda supplements “Down To The Bottom”, Saarai was a character who puzzled me sexuality-wise for a long time, she has a lot to unpack and a lot of nuances in her attractions, and for a long time (because it is the default for modern media) I tried to shove her in the monogamy box, except...that doesn’t work for Saarai LMAO. I remembered this song existed one day (I think it came up on Youtube shuffle or something) and it was the lightbulb that went on in my head that finally clicked and told me she was actually polyam as well (though ironically I forgot to actually put it in her playlist until @darth-bagel reminded me it existed again a few months ago LOL).

reminds another character of them:

All The Pretty Girls - KALEO :: (Sash - Zephyrverse AU) This one had a few options too, but I think this is the best song that Sash would associate with Saarai. Their relationship was slow burn, although there was near-immediate attraction there, Sash struggled with self-doubt and her own insecurities for a long time, firmly believing that Saarai would get bored of waiting for her to be “ready” to take things further and explore other options (she didn’t. They’ve been married something like 20+, nearing 30 years now, you’re stuck with her sweetie <3)

The Last of the Real Ones - Fall Out Boy :: (Lana - Subterfugeverse) “I know this whole damn city thinks it needs you, but not as much as I do.”  Lana wasn’t looking for Saarai when she found her, but Lana wouldn’t have it any other way. Though Lana is a big pillar of support for Saarai, and Saarai in turn is the social “glue” that holds the Alliance together, what many people don’t realise is that the feeling is mutual and Lana relies upon her just as much. Saarai’s dependable, and trustworthy, even if sometimes she makes Lana want to roll her eyes into the ceiling because of her antics, she wouldn’t want to change her for anything, it’s that part of Saarai that she secretly loves the most because it reminds Lana that it’s okay to unwind and have fun or be silly every once in a while, especially with the people you love.

Shut Up And Dance - WALK THE MOON :: (Koth - Subterfugeverse) Koth’s relationship with Saarai took a lot longer to develop into something openly romantic because Saarai had a lot of stuff to work through before she could accept her own feelings for him, but the cantina party at the end of KOTFE was the moment that Koth realised she was comfortable with him, because it’s the first time she really opened up to him, the first time she asked him to do anything together, and the first time she didn’t flinch or jump away from him when he touched her.

reminds you of a relationship of theirs, doesn’t have to be romantic, can be paternal, friendly etc.: I’m taking that as an invitiation to do a song for each of the main ones of any kind and that means this one has like six songs because...Saarai has a lot of influencial relationships in her character arc, I’m sorry (but not really) :’)

Broken Crown - Mumford & Sons :: Saarai & D’leah (Familial, It’s Complicated). This one is probably gonna be the “controversial” song of this post but you know what I’m gonna do it anyway. Saarai and D’leah have a very complicated relationship, because on the one hand Saarai does love her mother very much in spite of the horrible things she said and did, and on the other...the last thing that she wants is to turn out like her. And sometimes, sometimes you gotta call your mom out on her toxic shit. Hey Brother - Aviici :: Saarai & Ni’kasi (Familial Love). “What if I lose it all? Oh sister, I will help you out. Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you...there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.” The “brother” part does not apply to the twins, gender-wise, but the essence of this song is undoubtedly Saarai & Ni’kasi’s relationship. When Saarai thought she had no-one else, Ni’kasi was there to pick up the pieces and get her back onto her feet. They’re ride or die till the very end, wherever Saarai leads, she knows Ni’kasi will follow her.

Son of A Gun - Lord Huron :: Saarai & Tsâhis (Romantic ”Love”, though I’mma be very clear here that he was a manipulative abusive asshole, but Saarai loved him so...quotation marks. Y’get it yeah? Good.) “Well she fell in love with that son of a gun, but he was not the man that she took him for.”  This line in particular sums it up. Saarai was young, naive and a perfect target for someone like Tsâhis to take advantage of because she didn’t know any better and believed him when he said he “loved her”, only for him to pull the rug out from under her feet later on. (he got his tho, don’t worry 😈)

Youth - Glass Animals :: Saarai & Tyûk (Maternal Love). This is the closest I can find to a song that sums up their relationship, I have a lot of thoughts about it but there are very few songs (that I’ve found) that touch upon the essence of Saarai & Ty’s relationship. D’leah chose to blame Ty for his father’s actions, Saarai chose the opposite. She chose to love him in spite of what his father had done to her, and to make sure he grew up feeling safe, loved, and learnt to be better than that.

Curses - The Crane Wives :: Saarai/Sash (Romantic Love) Both Saarai and Sash have had difficult pasts, with a lot of emotional trauma, and they both had hurdles they had to overcome in order for their relationship to truly work and stay healthy. But with each others’ support, they’ve managed it and are all the closer for it. If you asked either of them where “home” was, they’d say the other’s name.

Sorry I Stole Your Girlfriend - Stereo Skyline :: Saarai/Lana/Koth (Romantic Love). Okay, I really really wanted to pick a more serious song from their playlist for them, BUT....this song is the song that started this ship in my brain so here we are. LMAO  Originally, this popped into my brain as an idea of  Saarai’s response to Koth’s attempt at getting between them in that scene of KOTFE on the Gravestone. Koth and Saarai’s moral compasses are very similar and I wanted them to sit down and have a proper, healthy discussion about their feelings instead of becoming enemies and sort of agreeing not to hold a grudge against each other, though I didn’t expect for that piece to get away from me and for Saarai to end up developing feelings for Koth too, I can’t say I’m unhappy with it. I love them and I will fight anyone who tells me I can’t make them an OT3, I can, I will, and I have. >:) (Healthy Polyam Good, Love Triangles Are Fucking Stupid (tm). No I am not taking criticism on this lmao) Though Saarai & Koth’s relationship isn’t sexual in any way, they love each other just as much as they love Lana, just express it differently. So even though the snideness of this song doesn’t really apply to them, I kept it in their playlist and it also became their ship name because it was too good to pass up, though “Stole” is in inverted commas as it’s definitely more of an inside joke between the three of them than actually seriously accusing them of stealing each others’ girlfriend. 🤣 (as always, Saarai & Koth thinks it’s hilarious, Lana rolls her eyes at the stupid pun but also secretly thinks it’s funny as hell)

(Pt.1) Could you maybe identify what policies or laws are racist? Or perhaps you could elaborate on the part where you said you encountered people who were limited from jobs, housing, custody rights, resources due to racism. What happened for you to come to that conclusion? I’m not dismissing you but asking genuinely. If there is something racist about our systems, I would like to know too. Trust me. Please don’t feel rushed or pressured to respond to these right away btw

Hello there, you’re referring to this post.

Here’s part 2 of your question: Pt.2 I think many are just concerned that all disparities/suffering are seen to be a result of sys. racism. This may not be helpful when addressing complex/multifaceted issues. There are many Black & non-Black voices alike who are truly concerned about the problems and suffering in the Black community but do not agree with the systemic racism narrative, but they are silenced/cancelled. I say this with respect, but why give yourself the authority to assume another’s intentions? Ty for answering

—

I think these are excellent questions, and I’d like to gently point out two things.

1) I have received dozens of messages and comments like yours with the exact same phrasing. Really. It’s eerie. It’s to the point where I wonder if they’re all coming from the same individual. You used keywords like elaborate, asking genuinely, and just concerned. The whole Just Asking Questions type of concern trolling is practically a meme by now, in which you’re “not dismissing” the issue and that “many Black and non-Black” people are “truly concerned about” not buying into the “narrative.”

Now I’m not saying you’re a concern-troll. You may be genuinely interested in these answers. Certainly I’d like to think so. I’m simply weirded out at how often I get these sorts of messages with the same sort of “what about” type of curiosity, with the same words verbatim, like a preprogrammed script. I have had this conversation many, many times. It never goes well, mostly because it’s not seeking to learn, it’s seeking to win.

I’ll try to save some time. This is usually how the conversation goes: I’ll bring up redlining, or Jim Crow laws, or how the super predator laws in the 90s still disproportionately affect Black individuals today, or that proportionately a Black individual is 2.65 times more likely to be killed by police than a white individual, or multiple experiments have shown that a “Black-sounding” name with the same exact resume as a “white-sounding” name is statistically less likely to get the same job, or that Black individuals are far more likely to be given greater sentences for the same exact crimes, or impoverished Black communities also trap these communities into less funded education, which has trapped generations with fewer resources. This is the tip of the iceberg.

Then you’ll systematically attempt to discredit every one of my sources (I didn’t post them because at this point, who even reads them anymore), you may say I’m a radical leftist or antifa or that my numbers are off or that I’m not seeing the bigger picture, you’ll quote the 13/50 statistic, you’ll point me to Ben Shapiro or Candace Owens or PragerU or Steven Crowder or even Shaun King for some reason, you’ll tell me about the dangers of welfare and the need for personal responsibility, you’ll bring up Chicago and black-on-black crime, you’ll tell me you agree with protests but hate rioters, you’ll bring up David Dorn and “what about Tony Timpa,” you’ll say Ferguson was a fraud and Nick Sandmann is proof of deep state, you’ll eventually tell me that Black people got themselves into this mess and need to dig their way out and they need to “get off the government teat” and “stop having kids” and “stop making excuses”—and the whole time you’ll tell me you’re just concerned and Just Asking Questions.

I mean, this is always how it goes. Maybe you’ll surprise me? But in the end, probably neither of us will change our minds. You’ll tell your friends you tried. You’ll use me as an example of close-mindedness. You’ll most likely never look up any of these stats. If our conversation goes differently than this, then I am very glad to be wrong.

Perhaps I’m being too jaded and cynical. I apologize that I sound so tired (my daughter is turning three weeks old tomorrow and it’s been exhausting). It’s just—someone who doesn’t believe in systemic racism despite the evidence probably has an entire worldview that must support this anti-view, no matter what. I’ve already said that systemic racism exists plus there is social responsibility involved. It can be both. But to invalidate the former simply destroys all available potential for learning how to best heal. No, I don’t think you’re a bad person for not believing in systemic racism. But misinformed? Yes.

So as much as I love to build bridges, I find it hard it to trust that these conversations are real dialogue. They seem to me some kind of secret conversion tactic, or trying to make an example of me. If you’re really, really concerned, then my hope is you take some days and weeks to enter these situations and find out for yourself.

2) I would like to kindly address your statement here: “I say this with respect, but why give yourself the authority to assume another’s intentions?”

So this is the third time you’ve said “You’re assuming my intentions,” and this time you said “why give yourself the authority to assume another’s intentions.”

I am not a therapist, but I think you may be inadvertently reenacting the Karpman Drama Triangle. I’ve done the same thing, and it took me years of therapy and mentoring to overcome this. Basically, the Karpman Triangle creates a dynamic of Persecutor, Victim, and Rescuer. By constantly saying “you’re assuming my intentions,” you’ve placed me in the role of the Persecutor and yourself as the Victim. This was obvious when you said “why give yourself authority”—by using a lite ad hominem to call me the authority, you’ve now placed yourself in the innocent hapless role of victim. By turn, you now will eventually become the Rescuer by saving yourself through my conversion or yourself from the “persecution.”

Now this is only my speculation and you may not know you’re doing this, if you’re even doing this at all. I’m saying this to you because, well, I’m concerned. You may have been deeply affected by certain family dynamics or trauma to reenact the Karpman Triangle. I’ve unfortunately re-enacted this Triangle many times, and perhaps even did so unwittingly in some of these posts. But it’s good to get some counseling for this; please believe me on that. Re-enacting the Triangle can seriously affect all your relationships and will make it much harder to have real conversations or to challenge your beliefs. I would know: it has nearly ruined me many times. Even if you’re not in the Triangle, I still highly advise counseling anyway. If you’re in counseling already, I would bring this up and see if this rings true for you.

Character comparison tag

So I was tagged by @writing-with-melon to do this character comparison tag. I’ve never done this before but Im sure it will be fun!

Edit: this took WAY-WAY longer than I thought it would and I think I know my characters now that before i was tagged in this. I hope.

These are the main characters for my W.I.P personal story: Scarlet Lining compared to others characters based on personality.

Amy Mc.Hale

Stanford pines (Gravity Falls)

Let’s see, Scientists who study the wierd and paranaormal, were both betrayed by their mentors/muses by unknowingly working with them and are paranoid because their boss/muse can see their every move and have slowly gone insane and are on a mission in order to stop them from coming back and destroying the world. ♾ check. Thought Amy can be a somewhat inversion of ford and is a more of a responsible guardian figure than him( but not by a lot),

Sasha Mc.Hale

Katniss Everdeen( Hunger Games)| Jotaro Kujo(JJBA)

Why I chose 2 characters for Sasha’s section is not because of favoritism, but because I couldnt decide which character fitted Sasha the best so I chose both. Katniss and Sasha are so similar that you might confuse them as twins. They are both independent loners who have a survivalist attitude. They both had to close off their emotions at a young age due to traumatic events. They're both cold and blunt and hate being controlled by higher authority. They are basically the same except for the love triangle shenanigans since Sasha is Ace. You could also apply some of those traits to her and Jotaro(Sasha would call Amy a bitch if she snaps) Though she would have more of Jotaro’s delinquent “Yare-Yare Daze” aesthetic rather than Katniss’s YA heroine aesthetic. 

Leah Mc.Hale

Grizz (WBB)

They’re both perky and energetic older siblings who want the best for their siblings. They’re the eldest siblings/leaders of the trio. Both of them have a desire to be famous and popular; Grizz with being a movie star while Leah wants to be a superhero(though she would audition to be a meme). They’re both sometimes selfish and ignore their siblings' advice in order to do what they believe is right for them and kind-of have a hero complex(?). You could say that Grizz is Leah’s fursona! (I’m so sorry)

Michiko Mc.Hale

Retsuko(Aggretsuko)

This one is pretty self explanitory, Michiko and Retsuko have a lot of interlapping character traits; their both soft spoken pushovers who work hard and have a hard time finding their true passions. Their also oblivious when someones crushing on them. There both also talented singers who become idols later on, though I don’t think Michiko would be interested in singing hardcore death metal at first, but she would find it more theraputic than the old way she would take out all her rage(by repressing it). Also would be michiko’s possible fursona. (you could also add nudge from Maximum ride into this but I cant find any gifs of her)

Gabe (no cannon last name)

Black⭐️Star (soul eater)

Self explanatory.

(Will probably add Angelo and some other oc’s here later on so expect that soon)

I tag whoever is reading this to do this with their own characters!

[zuckarr]

1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15, 17, 19 of the fandom ask please? ;w;

20 fandom ask memes!

1. if you could hit any character without repercussions, who would it be?

uhh... Junko from Danganronpa, I guess? or any other psycho like her... I don’t like that kind of character at all!

5. what is your favorite overused trope?

probably the ‘secret heir’, or the ‘chosen one’. something that makes a character special, whether they wanted it or not. don’t touch my Adora!!

7. name a character you wouldn’t mind naming someone after.

I totally wouldn’t mind calling my own kid Yoichi hahah, it sounds like such a lovely name!

8. do you prefer happy, bittersweet, or sad endings?

happy endings are wholesome, but bittersweet endings just... give me more to feel, in a way. So I’d go with bittersweet endings!

9. do you like prequels?

oh yeah, I love knowing more of a fandom I’m interested in, as long as it’s official!

12. if you could change one ending to a book/show/game/etc, what would you change about it?

fuck Steins;Gate’s ending!!! seriously, it’s an ending that I despise!! I would 100% change it! can’t tell how I would though, because spoilers, but yeah!

15. does it bother you if a character shares the same name of someone you know well?

not at all! I think it’s nice!

17. are there any tropes you wished were used less often?

love triangles? they’re overly dramatic most of the time... I also dislike the trope in which a vampire is someone so attractive and them sucking your blood makes you moan. dude if a vampire bit me I would be screaming in pain and panic and so would anybody really.

19. if you could be a part of any story, which story would you want to tag along in?

good question... I think either No.6 or Assassination Classroom. A story where I could live my beloved slice of life times, while also unleashing some great powers or talents and living an amazing story that would change me forever.

thank you for the ask~

Casablanca Plaza OC

Name: Ameera Beydoun

Age: 19

Appearance: Long straight dark brown hair, brown eyes, wire framed glasses. About 5”6 and kind of skinny.

Place of employment: Baby-O Records (full time)

Arab American—Lebanese to be specific.

College sophomore

Economics major

Didn’t expect to like working at Baby-O so much, but she loves it.

She does get quite a few people who badmouth her for her religion and being Arab American or snidely ask if she even knows any of the bands found in the store. Sometimes these are the same people.

But she decides to stay professional about it. Those kinds of people are a minority of the customers anyway.

When she first started work: “Hey, guys! How have you been?”

Now: “WHATS UP NERDS”

Has somehow figured out Baby-O’s organization system—Blas keeps asking her to teach him her ways.

Queen stan, and will happily scream out the lyrics to a Queen song with Mark.

All four of the guys will pick up the slack for her in regards to the asshole customers she gets.

Even if she didn’t get that kind of shit, they’d still be protective of her.

One time Bobby caught a creepy guy leering at her while her back was turned. He dragged him out of the store and threatened to beat the crap out of him if he ever came back.

They would adopt her, but she’s happy with her actual family, so they’re content being like her older brothers.

Mark’s nickname for her is “Short Stack” since she’s shorter than all of them.

She taught the boys how to dance the dabke; they in turn figured out how to dance the dabke in the store without knocking anything over.

Do not EVER mention Sigmund Freud’s name in front of her; she will go on a rant about what a sexist hack he was.

Example: one time she was waiting for her order at Thunderbolt and heard Phoebe start talking about Sigmund Freud, and this is what happened:

“I heard one time Sigmund Freud said—” “Lemme tell you something, Sigmund Freud was a fucking HACK who I wouldn’t trust to tell me the sky is blue!”

Tommy still laughs at the memory of this.

Speaking of Phoebe, Ameera avoids her whenever possible. Not just because of the Freud thing, but because she doesn’t want to know how the hell she’s attracted to Gene.

She also avoids Gene whenever possible. Because duh.

Gets along well with everyone else otherwise.

Used to keep her distance from Dee, for obvious reasons, but warmed up to him after a while of him being perfectly friendly and accepting of her religion to her.

Also maybe the only employee in the mall Mick the mall cop doesn’t have to keep tabs on, because she’s responsible.

When she’s not working or attending classes, she can sometimes be found browsing Kiss Kosmetics. She lets Vinnie use her as a therapist, but also tells him he should probably go to an actual one. She also gets along really well with Paul.

Paul may or may not be in a fake custody battle with Dana over her.

She also likes to look at the stuff in Cyndi’s, and spend any extra cash she has at Overjoysticked.

Accidentally called Cyndi “Mom” once, which led to something similar to the Brooklyn 99 scenario.

She low-key thinks it would be adorable if Mark and Dana got together. Currently has an ongoing bet with Blas over how long it’ll take until it happens.

She also sees the love triangle of Vinnie, Bruce, and Eric, and always wonders why they don’t just have a poly relationship.

In addition to Phoebe and Gene, she also avoids Bill the Boomer whenever possible. Because... boomers.

The last time Bill saw her, he stopped her and went into a whole anti-Islam speech and all the other dumb stuff xenophobic people say. Her response was to cover her ears and loudly sing the chorus of “We’re Not Gonna Take It”.

“How about you and your other Islamic sinner kind go back to—“ “WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT! NO WE AIN’T GONNA TAKE IT! WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMOOOOORE!”

Once heard Bill criticizing the butterflypea flower cloud tea. Now regularly buys it out of spite. Also because it’s actually really good.

Working at Baby-O has given her a new appreciation for rock music. Now adores Def Leppard. Will also fight you on Taylor Swift’s validity. Also a Joan Jett stan and will sing along whenever they play her in the store.

Likes to make sardonic jokes about FOX News.

Gave Tommy her sympathy after he got friend-zoned by Nikki.

She will also go on passionate rants about how Futurama was a gold mine of wasted potential.

One time she had a customer who was a Communist and loudly let everyone know it. He also made an ignorant comment about Islam, to which Ameera calmly replied, “That was very cash-money of you, comrade.”

Blas and Bobby still laugh at the memory of this. It took them a second to get the joke, but they now consider it an iconic moment.

Her text tone is the Kim Possible beeps. Whenever Dana hears it, no matter what’s going on he will without fail shout “WHAT’S THE SITCH?”

Slash likes to troll her and ask if she supports capitalism. Her response of “Fuck capitalism!” the first time he asked has now become a mall meme. You’ll often hear the Skidz employees gaily shouting “FUCK CAPITALISM” whenever they damn well feel like it.

Is the only person in Overjoysticked history to get close to beating Axl at Gauntlet. She lost by twenty points. Steven still let her choose any prize she wanted tho.

Here for the drama and the cash money; not here for your bullshit.

[shamrock96]

So I’ve been thinking about Polyamory lately...

I started watching this show called Siren where this couple meets a mermaid and all three of them slowly start falling in love with each other and this is my first exposure to polyamorous representation and I think it’s a great triad relationship the writers have going here to explain the more complex emotions involved in a polyamorous relationship.

If anyone gets bored gong through this or knows you’re in for a long post as least know that this is the main idea of this post before scrolling past it: The best kind of love is a healthy tender relationship to people you can trust and who love you unconditionally. 

Now I’m not poly myself, I don’t know what I am to be honest, so I don’t know what’s all involved. I’ve done research and I know that there are many different types of polyamory for it to just be whittled down to one example but what really strikes me and fascinates me about the polyamorous relationship depicted in Siren is the deep love and commitment each of the partners have with each other. 

In the past I’ve joked about polyamory in the sense “haha let’s just forget this bogus love triangle and have everyone just get together” and after hearing other people’s stories and learning about their relationships I know there’s a lot more to it than just saying “screw it, let everyone just have sex!”

So I’ve put together a list of other possible areas where other writers could have gone this way. Because representation is important and love triangles have become an extremely cliché and toxic trope in television and movies to the point I don’t think writers really know what a healthy relationship between partners looks like anymore. 

I got a lot of these from Triad of the Day but I just wanted to explain more in depth why I think these characters would be so good together

1. Veronica Lodge and Cheryl Blossom and Betty Cooper

So I’ve got to admit, I don’t actually watch Riverdale and this is probably a bad example to start with because my reasoning for these three being a triad is: just look at them. They’re obviously in love. And they can all still have their men on the side if that’s what they want but from what I’ve seen of gifs and on other people’s blogs, there is a strong feminine power here that transcends just being friends/frenemies/whatever. 

2. Harley Quinn and Catwoman and Poison Ivy a.k.a The Gotham City Sirens

Harley and Poison Ivy are already renown for their amazing sapphic relationship but I feel like Catwoman is a good addition to their love because of how often she gets snubbed by Batman (a man she clearly has feelings for a who has feelings for her) for embracing her darker side. Harley, more than anyone, understands being sidelined and downright abused by someone you care about and I think Poison Ivy would praise Selina for embracing the side of her that come more naturally. Harley and Poison Ivy already have a great and more or less healthy (as healthy as trauma inflicted villains can be) and Selina could really use some of that love in her life. 

This is also probably my inspiration for the whole Veronica/Cheryl/Betty triad I have above. 

3.  Kathy and Don and Cosmo

Again, so I haven’t really seen this movie in its entirety yet (just bits and pieces) but I’ve seen enough to know they were all just meant to be together. Especially in the “Good Morning” number where they talk about “danced the whole night through”. Like what is better than one person finding two other people they can laugh and have fun together until dawn? This just seems super figured out to me.

4. Miles O'brien and Keiko O'brien and Kira Nerys

This is one where I think things get a little complicated for so many reasons. For starters it’s a great example how a polytriad relationship works when children are involved. For those who aren’t familiar with Star Trek: Deep Space 9, the story between these three are that Miles and Keiko have been married ever since they were on Star Trek: The Next Generation. They even have a daughter who is about four when the couple are expecting their next baby. Due to a transporter malfunction Kira is accidentally impregnated with Keiko’s baby. This was the writers’ way of explaining Kira’s actress, Nana Visitor’s, own pregnancy (coincidently with other co-star, Alexander Siddig, but that’s a whole other story). 

Anyways, once Kira is unexpectedly carrying the O’Brien’s child she moves in with them so that they can still experience the pregnancy and become closer to their new surrogate. As a result Kira also becomes closer to the O’Brien’s and their daughter Molly. The birth of Kirayoshi is a really touching episode and it’s obvious that Kira has become extremely attached to the baby. After the birth the O’Briens make Kira Kirayoshi’s godmother (and also kind of name him after her) and she becomes a part of the family, like an aunt.

The only reason this gets complicated is because of Kira’s work relationship with Miles. While Kira and Keiko become super close and it could easily have turned into something romantic there’s not a lot of that bonding going on with Miles. And I know there are relationships where person A (Kieko) has a strong relationship with persons B (Miles) and C (Kira) but persons B and C aren’t as close, but my main objective in putting these characters together is to form a perfect triad where everyone loves and is loved equally. The writers could have also easily done this by having Kira and Miles bond more emotionally rather than professionally but they didn’t so we don’t get to see what that would have looked like except in fanfiction. 

5. Elphaba and Galinda and Fiyero

Like I think a majority of the fans of Wicked agree that these three were all in love one way or the other. Some ship Glinda and Elphaba, Glinda shipped herself with Fiyero, and the mainstream is that Elphaba and Fiyero utlimately belonged together. And while the musical puts a heavy emphasis on the “friendship” between Glinda and Elphaba, anyone who ever watches “For Good” can tell you that their relationship was way deeper than your average best friends or sisters for that matter. Not to mention in “One Short Day” the two fo them make a point of saying “we’re just two friends” “two good friends” “two best friends”. The whole “just friends” has been used to keep LGBT+ couples in the closet since forever. 

We also know Fiyero and Elphaba were given a wonderfully laid out relationship which has a very important role in the musical. Fiyero’s relationship with Glinda can be analyzed as what society wants to see vs. Fiyero and Elphaba’s relationship which is something society doesn’t want to see. Perfect vs. Unconventional. HOWEVER, Fiyero and Glinda did have a connection, so much so that Glinda did mourn losing him (to her “best friend” nonetheless). The reverse could also be argued that Glinda was mourning losing Elphaba to Fiyero. OR it could be argued that the two people she loved most ran off into the sunset (albeit, as fugitives) without her and she was left behind. In a polyamorous relationship nobody would be left behind singing a reprise of “I’m Not That Girl”. I haven’t seen the full musical in a while but I think Elphaba gave Glinda the chance to come with her and Fiyero and Glinda opted to stay behind in the public figure position she was given. I could be wrong about that, like I said I haven’t seen the musical in a while, but if I’m not wrong the that decision to stay behind could have all sorts of different analyses for the relationship between the three. 

Let’s not forget to mention that Glinda and Elphaba were ROOMMATES! Ok, memes aside, these three had a lot of chemistry and history together that bonded them. For me, one of the saddest parts of the ending wasn’t the “For Good” scene where Elphaba “sacrifices” herself because Glinda knew full well what Elphaba had planned with Fiyero, leaving Glinda as the last one standing and being the one left behind to fix the corrupt government in the land of Oz. She was sad because she knew Elphaba had to stay dead in the eyes of the people if she was ever going to live a normal life after all that had happened. The actual ending of the book is way sadder so I’ll take the canon ending of the musical any day but I can’t help but feel like the life Elphaba and Fiyero started after running off into their official sunset probably felt a little incomplete without Glinda. 

6. DJ Fuller and Steve Hale and Matt Harmon

THIS ONE. Never has an audience ever been given the run around about a heteronormative live triangle than they have been with Fuller House. As soon as I saw this on Triad of the Day’s list of polyamorous couples I was just like YES! When DJ chose Steve I was a little skeptical and torn. Both of these men seemed really great and had great chemistry with DJ. I stan the whole decision for DJ to choose herself the first time around and take some time to figure out who she was (especially so soon after the death of her husband). But immediately after that decision the writers went and gave Steve and Matt a great bro relationship. THEY EVEN HAD STEVE AND MATT KISS!!!! Although that was before they became friends. And they were SO into that kiss and we ALL loved it! The fact that it was used for laughs is such a pity. Fuller House could have pulled a Modern Family by creating a positive social commentary on polyamorous families and play off the title of the show (Fuller House) more than they already do by adding both men to the family. Instead one of them got pushed away and to be honest I stopped watching after season 2. I love the wholesome family vibes Fuller House gives out and even the ones given out by Hallmark (which Candace Cameron Bure and Lori Laughlin are major actresses in) but something these wholesome shows and tv networks forget is that you can represent LGBT+ relationships without the emphasis of sex. It’s like if someone were to pitch a gay Christmas romance movie to Hallmark the board would immediately say, “Nice idea, but this is a family friendly program.” My definition of family friendly is a group of adults who are in loving and healthy relationships with each other who all love and take care of the children in their lives. And my definition of wholesome is lack of profanity and vulgar humor and displays honest values (just for the record). 

Fuller House really missed out on taking a step forward into the modern age by not making these three a polyamorous triad. 

7.Victor Van Dort and Emily and Victoria Everglot

So I’m not sure about this one because I REALLY love how it ended (with Emily getting justice for her murder and then being emotionally liberated to the point she burst into a kaleidoscope of butterflies). Not to mention Emily and Victoria didn’t exactly get much bonding time throughout the movie though I think Emily can heavily relate to Victoria’s overly sheltered life and especially to getting screwed over in the marriage department (although Victoria luckily dodged that bullet). But I feel like that would make Emily (and Victor) all the more protective of Victoria when it comes to those who would abuse her. And maybe Emily could have taught both Victor and Victoria more about standing up for themselves. I know Emily can seem naive and like she doesn’t have much life experience (for obvious reasons) but we’ve seen how strong, powerful, and dedicated she is. I don’t think anybody would be surprised if Emily scorched the earth for Victor and Victoria. Also Victor needs some strong women in his life. I feel like the implications of what these three would have been like in a polyamorous relationship is pretty obvious and has no doubt been written about a thousand times in fanfiction. As much as I love Emily being released from what was tying her down to earth, this would have been a good alternative ending as well. 

8.  Tulio is dating Miguel and Chel

These guys. Need I say more?

I think I might because while we see the obvious attraction between Tulio and Chel and the fanmade art and fanfiction of Tulio and Miguel, that still leaves out the question of what Chel and Miguel’s relationship would be like. Obviously in the movie Miguel wasn’t a big fan of Chel moving in on his and Tulio’s “bromance” and while jealousy doesn’t have much place in an ideal triad relationship (from what I understand anyway), I think they could make good partners in crime. 

9. Flora and Fauna and Merryweather a.k.a the Three Good Fairies

Now these hoes. I’ve heard some dispute somewhere that they may or may not be sisters but I distinctly remember them only being referred to as “the three good fairies”. Older women (fairies) who have known each other for a very long time. But they dead ass raised a daughter together as mortals, in the same cottage for 16 years. We’ve seen said cottage and we’ve seen Aurora’s bedroom but anyone can see that there’s no way there was enough from in that cottage for 3 individual bedrooms or even one room for three twin beds (maybe bunk beds if they had existed in the 14th century). They’re depicted as incompetent characters in Malificent but they aren’t that way in the 1959 Sleeping Beauty. In fact, they’re portrayed as willing to do anything for their daughter. Not to mention the constant bickering of Flora and Merryweather being pacified by Fauna. That is typical married old couple behavior right there. Being 1959 there’s no way anyone was ready for a polyamorous triad of fairies in a children’s animated feature but that’s basically what they gave us. 

10. Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers

This is also a hard one. Because similar to Glinda and Fiyero’s relationship Steve and Nancy were together for high school politics. In this scenario Steve is Glinda because he gets left behind to ponder on his life as a shallow popular high school king. But protecting Jonathan and Nancy with that homemade nail bat from that demagorgan is what any good partner would do for his other partners. 

The reason this one is tricky is not only because Steve got left behind but also because the relationship dynamic is pretty unequal. Because while Nancy and Steve are together at the beginning of Season 2, it’s clear they’re still putting on a facade that things can go back to normal for them during their senior year of high school. By the end of Season 2 Nancy is officially with Jonathan and Steve is not only left behind but he’s left behind to take care of the kids. 

Not to mention Steve and Jonathan don’t necessarily have a good relationship with each other. Although I think Steve has been humbled down in Season 3 after realizing his glory days are more or less behind him. But we don’t get a lot of interaction between these three anymore. 

I’m not really sure where I’m going with this one besides the fact that I think there’s some potential somewhere here. Especially with the introduction of Robin. I feel like she could be a great sexual awakening for a lot of the characters in this show. 

BONUS:  Bellamy Blake and Clarke Griffin and just about anyone

It doesn’t have to be Raven. Honestly it could be any character who has a good relationship with both Clark and Bellamy. I think it’s safe to say a majority of the fandom is holding out for Bellark to ride off into their sunset but I think they’d be pretty inclusive to someone else they have a strong relationship with. I haven’t watched the series in a really long time so I don’t know if there is a character left alive who fits that description but the characters have definitely formed a pack mentality of survival and sticking close. I imagine if they (Clark, Bellamy, and their third partner) would have kids they’d have the same protective circle.

ask meme: matt foggy karen. it's ot3, just do it.

Oh boy I just did Matt and Foggy and now here we go again but it's fine. (If I really didn't want to do it, I wouldn't).

Also, disclaimer: Comics! Karen Page is boring. I don't like her in the comics, and considering the love triangle thing going on would be sexual harassment today, I'm gonna largely ignore that dynamic, and use the MCU Karen Page for this.

Who hogs the duvet. Karen is secretly vicious in her sleep and takes both aforementioned duvets and burritos herself in them.

Who texts/calls to check how their day is going? Foggy. Again, see Daredevil issue 1. Matt does eavesdrop like a creeper though. They are mostly fine with it.

Who's the most creative when it comes to gifts? Karen. Hands down, particularly since Matt doesn't remember these things (canonically, theres a comics panel when he discusses this with Foggy. )

Who gets up first? Karen is out late reporting, Matt is out late Daredeviling, the only reason the Nelson-Murdock-Page household gets out the door before noon is because of Foggy.

Who suggests new things in bed? Karen got stressed and suggested they all start jumping on the bed. It broke.

Who cries at movies? Foggy. He's sort of the point of normalcy for Karen and Matt, so he cries.

Who gives unprompted massages? Foggy, to Karen. Matt doesn't like surprise contact, at all, between the senses and blindness, so they all go to Karen.

Who fusses over the other when they're sick? Can I give a spoiler for the Waid run? I'm gonna give a spoiler for the Waid run, specifically volume 4. In it, the big bad has a plan to mess with Murdock, which involves replicating the accident on adults. This turns the adults crazy, and should have Daredevil's full attention. Nope. Foggy Nelson is busy being diagnosed with cancer, and Matt is spending all this time worrying about Foggy. This is to a point where the big bad is like "why???? Is he????? Not following up?????" Cut to Matt. He is in the hospital next to a sleeping Foggy, reading The Total Cancer Wellness Guide. It's in braille. How'd he get it? No one knows.

Who gets jealous easiest? Foggy has crippling low self esteem. He gets jealous easiest.

Most embarrassing taste in music. Karen likes country. This is clearly the most embarrassing taste in music. However, again, Matt gets embarrassed about his own taste in the music the most, cuz here he is, among rich people, and never learned about the greats in music.

Who collects something unusual? Foggy with the dinos.

Who takes the longest to get ready? Karen. Do you think that hair is naturally there?

Most tidy? Matt, by virtue of being blind. (Yes, the can of chicken noodle needs to be to the right of the cream of mushroom, how else am I supposed to tell the cans apart, Karen?) Foggy is a bit more used to this, having been a roommate of Matt's.

Most excited about the holidays? Karen. She's estranged from her family, so she's excited to have a family to celebrate the holidays with (namely Foggy's. )

Who's the big spoon/middle spoon/little spoon? Well, they dont do spoons proper, they do a sandwich. Either Karen or Matt starts feeling an emotion and can't cope, and Foggy will be the big spoon, and the other person will hug them from the other side.

Who's the most competitive? Tie between Matt and Karen. They feed off each other and Foggy suffers.

Who starts the most arguements? Does it count as starting the arguement if your partner is engaging in reckless and illegal behavior? I.e. foggy. Hes trying to keep everyone safe. It's not working.

Who suggests they get a pet? DEUCE. THE. DEVIL. DOG. WAS. FOGGY'S IDEA.

Couple traditions they have? Avocado jokes, and Foggy complaining about the coffee Karen makes. Karen gets a balloon for the group whenever someone gets seriously hurt. Attempting to drink the eel once a year.

What tv shows do they watch together? Well, Matt's not exactly one for watching TV... when Matt's out and about, Karen and Foggy watch Spongebob and Momminvalley. They find it helps them stop worrying about Matt for a bit.

What other couples do they hang out with? My question: when do they have time to hang out with other couples? If they do have time, Ben and Doris.

How they spend time together as a couple? Josie's. Walking around town. Karen and Foggy try to mess with Matt by whispering nonsense at inappropriate times. Oftentimes they wind up buried in work though

Who made the first move? Oh no. This is a shitshow. Buckle up.

Matt. Okay, so we've determined Matt is a romantically repressed bisexual. He's in complete denial when it comes to guys (this is the Area 51 secret alternate character interpretation, matt doesn't know what hes talking about when he says he's straight). He hasn't really had a long lasting relationship. Getting him out of this requires talking to Fogs. A lot. And probably Karen too.

Foggy. Foggy is, at least in comics verse, very committed and monogamous. He's gonna be against any of this initially.

Karen is, oddly, the only one who seems down for any of anything. Actually, considering that she made that pasta dish for both Matt and Foggy, that seems to be what she's gunning for. Karen you little sneak.

So quick question: how to make Foggy and Matt okay with all this?

*groans* Foggy and Matt gotta start dating first Foggy and Matt are really good friends so Karen thinks they're dating.

Karen asks if it's an open relationship and starts the talk

Foggy and Matt are mortified when they find out she thinks they're dating

Karen suggests a V sort of poly thing (basically they can date whoever, she can date both of them, but Matt and Foggy don't start dating each other, because Matt doesn't know how he feels, and Foggy thinks matt is straight)

Foggy goes into this expecting it to become the Karen and Matt show.

But it doesn't and he warms up to the idea.

Foggy and Matt talk, and eventually Matt figures out what he's feeling.

Boom, OT3

Who brings flowers home? No one, Matt's allergic.

Who's the best cook? Foggy is immediately out of the running for regularly consuming bacon limburger cheesecake. Karen is the best, but have her and Matt working together, where Matt tries ingredients and can explain the exact time to take the dish out of the oven? Terrifying and delicious.

Thank you for the ask!

[department-shoe-stud]

MC & Jacob asks 1-7 :33

Gladly!!!! (You have no idea how ready I am to talk about OC’s just all the time)

1) Do you have any face claims for your MC and Jacob?

My MC (Her name’s Anna Louise, so I’ll be calling her Annie) and Jacob look eerily similar, yet still look like their opposite parent. Annie has her dad’s bronze complexion and bright amber eyes. She spends a lot of time outside during the summers taking care of her pets and camping because she’s one of those people, so she comes back to Hogwarts every year with freckles and bug bites. From ages 15-17, Annie hits a growth spurt and shoots up from around 5’ 2” to just over 6’. My FC for Annie is Gina Rodriguez (A goddess, she’s so pretty, I love her).

My Jacob (Sorry Canon Jacob, you’re just really… ugly isn’t a nice way of putting it, but man, is it an accurate way) looks more like their mom, with really curly black hair and ice-blue eyes, which stick out against his olive skin tone. They look really intense and make Jay and his mom look really scary and intimidating, but that fades away once you learn their mom embroiders in her free time and Jay still needs someone else to kill the spiders he finds in the house (The one who takes care of them is their dad, he puts them outside). I don’t have a FC for my Jacob, sorry!

2) Does your MC/Jacob’s family have any relation to canon characters/families? Are these relations impactful to MC and their story?

Honestly? Who knows if they are! Their mom was a closed adoption case so they don’t really know much about her family, only that they think she’s from Ireland.

Their dad, on the other hand, knows exactly who he’s related to and can name it up to four generations back, the first to move to America (Oh yeah, their dad is from Pennsylvania, that’s why her parents were visiting relatives in the Christmas event. They’re direct relatives). He has a plethora of siblings who went on to have plethoras of children, so who knows who’s married who and knows who?

3) What was Jacob’s friendship with Duncan and Olivia like? What was their dynamic before and during working with R?

Okay, so Jacob and Duncan actually met in their first year, after Jay kept asking potions questions with increasing idiocy. It was obvious that he was just messing with the teacher, but he said it with such a straight face that you just had to give him props for not breaking character. It was pretty funny. After class, Duncan immediately asked him to grab lunch together, ‘even if you are a half-brained Gryffindor’. Jay punched him in the arm and they ate in the courtyard. They became pretty good friends, and Jay did mention it to his family (he really did love his family, honest) but he called him by a bunch of different nicknames, which is why Annie didn’t know who ‘Duncan’ was.

Olivia met Duncan and Jay sorta on the way? It was less of a ‘bonding over shared stupidity’ type thing that Jay and Duncan had, and more of a ‘well, someone has to babysit you two, and I guess I’ll do it’. They all got pretty close, sparking a few rumors of ‘fighting over Olivia love triangle’ among their classmates, which couldn’t be farther from the truth in Jay’s case (If ya catch my drift *wink wink nudge nudge*). When they started working for R, Olivia and Duncan expected to get caught up in it, being Ravenclaw and Slytherin, but it surprised them both to find out that Jay actually got really into it. Like, scarily obsessed. (That’s basically canon though, right? I think?)

4) Is Jacob physically and/or mentally different after he is released from the vaults? How does he change?

Whoo boi, this is a fun one. Yes, Jacob obviously looks a lot worse when he first gets out. Scraggly, deathly pale (well, as pale as he can be), and in desperate need of a shower. When they get him well fed and washed up, looking better, he needs a new prosthetic left leg, and has a few scars from the vaults’ dangers (Seriously, how has MC and their friends not gotten seriously harmed after all of this? It’s crazy!) He also has really deep bags under his eyes. When this is pointed out to him by Annie’s friends, he gets quiet and pouty, and Annie tells them he’s always had them, yes, he knows he looks like he needs a nap.

Also, anxiety up the wazoo! I mean, destroying cursed vaults, getting locked away, best friend literally dying, I’d be scared too! That’s gotta be some serious PTSD! It’s okay though (Well, sorta okay) because Annie got some anxiety along the way (Her brother went missing for how many years?? She’s had to do how much to save him?? No duh she’s messed up!) and Ben obviously has some, so at least Jay doesn’t have to suffer through it without any coping or support.

5) What career does/did Jacob want to pursue? Does it change after he was freed from the vaults?

Jacob, in case it wasn’t clear, loved finding curses and breaking them. He wouldn’t have done all this if it was begrudgingly, right? Also, I feel like he really did do it because he wanted to keep people safe from the vaults. At first, anyways, but obviously working with R messed with him. I feel like he wanted to be a curse breaker at first, with his amount of dedication and willingness to help others, but he probably was scarred after the vaults and finally getting out.

I think he had a few years to just get away from everything: the reporters, the school, the wizarding world, everything. He goes and lives with his maternal grandparents’ in Castlebar, Ireland (They’re muggles, so they keep him pretty well sheltered from everything magic). After a few years of peace and quiet, I think he would probably settle down with a much less stressful job. He always really loved creatures, magical or otherwise, so he’d probably take up a job at an adoption place, or a vets office maybe! Jay has other interests in life besides curses.

6) What’s Jacob’s opinions of prefects, especially the ones 4 years older than MC?

Okay, so my Jacob is six years older than Annie, so Annie’s prefects would have been there when he was going there. Jay, pre-missing, was nice to everyone (canon for the house elves, at least), he got good grades, he was funny, and he was really charming overall. People looked up to him, and he kept his vault studies under the radar. He was a model citizen on the surface, so the prefects probably looked up to him, or at the very least knew about him (How big is Hogwarts? It can’t be that big, plus word travels fast there, right? Everyone always seems to know everything about MC).

Jay himself, however, didn’t really care for prefects. He just thought of them as glorified hall monitors, and he couldn’t risk them stopping him from finding the vaults. Wasn’t it enough that they yelled at him for harmless pranks?

That being said, Jay thinks that the fact that Annie, his first partner in crime, the ‘rambunctious’ O’ Reilly child, the one who was breaking just about every rule and ignoring every caution just to find him, that Annie, his Annie, is a prefect? Are you serious? Really?

It took until the coughing attacks came for him to finally stop laughing.

7) What memory or thought does MC/Jacob use when conjuring a Patronus (if they can even conjure a corporeal one at all)? What form does it take?

Jacob’s Patronus is a lion. He likes his Patronus because lions are sick as hell. He also kinda hates it because, and he knows he can never tell anyone at school this, his middle name is Leon and he has always said he hated his middle name, and he feels like this is probably some kinda cosmic justice, isn’t it?

His memory was getting the family Crup. Jay was twelve and he got to name it. He named it Furry Mercury and Furry slept in his room until he was too big to fit in the bed without pushing Jacob out.

Annie’s Patronus is corporeal but it’s pretty weak. It’s a tabby-cat if she can conjure it. The first time it was corporeal enough to actually touch, it licked her hand and she almost cried (Annie is pretty emotional and I think it’s bull that JamCity won’t let MC cry!).

The memory Annie thinks of is when her parents took her and Jay to Disney World when she was seven. They bought Mickey Mouse ears for all of them, ate a bunch of cotton candy (Papa O’Reilly’s stomach did not care for that), went on the Haunted Mansion ride no less than three times, and ate dinner at Gaston’s Tavern. None of this was the part she thinks of though. Her memory is being on her dad’s shoulders, tired from the long day and half-asleep, when the fireworks came on. She sat in awe watching them and didn’t talk for the rest of the night as they went back to their hotel. Her mom asked if she had fun and she just nodded and quietly said, ‘Today was a good day.’ (Okay yes, that’s my own happy memory, but what’s a good character if it doesn’t have a little self-projection?)

Oh man! I really went off, didn’t I? But yeah! That’s just a bit about my MC and her idiot brother! Thanks for this, I never get to talk about my OC’s (In case you couldn’t tell.) If you’re the one who started the meme, I do have a playlist on Spotify. Message me if you want it, okay?

Questions from here!

[thelittlesushithatcould]

Fallout Meme!

I saw this on @courierspikeee and I noticed one of the tags was anyone who thought ED-E was the goodest boy, and i am 100% in that camp, so I hope nobody minds if I do this ;) Rules:

1. Choose an OC.

2. Answer them as that OC.

3. Tag 5 people to do the same.

1. What is your name?

"Doctor Wanda Thompson, of the Institute!” She laughs “oh, don’t give me that look”

2. How old are you?

"well that’s what we call a ‘complication’ . In reality I’m somewhere around 245? Give or take a few years. Being flash frozen really does a number on your sense of time”

3. What do you look like?

"Me? Oh, you know...curly brown hair, tan complexion, I’ve gotten a little softer as I’ve gotten older, more curves than in my youth.” She rubs her hand “I’ve also gotten some radiation burns during the course of my research. My hands, particularly, and a bit over my lip” She laughs “I like to think I look like a proper scientist, as well as a mother”

4. Where are you from? Where do you live now?

Wanda thinks for a moment, a small smile on her lips that catches on her scar, turning it a little lopsided “I was born on the cape. Over by Hyannis.” She pauses “I moved to Boston after that, to attend the Institute.” She shakes her head “i still live in Boston. just...under it, I suppose”

5. What was your childhood like?

“Wonderful” She laughs, and claps her hands together with a jovial grin “Simply wonderful! I spent more days than I could count out there on the sandy beaches, collecting samples of sea critters and studying them in their natural habitats” She leans on her hand , smiling “I can still smell the salt in the air, when I really think about it”

6. What groups are you friendly with? Are you allied with any factions?

“The Institute” She says without missing a beat “I’m their Director after all.” She waves her gloved fingers dismissively "I took the liberty of changing our standards and practices away from Playing God and into actually helping someone for a change.” “As for allies...well. I met this nice man who claims to have been a courier once. Rules Vegas now, he says. We hit it off fairly well.. and heavens... I suppose there’s the woman who took over Pittsburgh from those slavers...”

7. Tell me about your best friend.

“Nick? He’s fantastic” She points “I’ve never met a finer detective in my life. Even if he refuses to let me help mend his synthskin. Stubborn old bastard”

8. Do you have a family? Tell me about them!

“My husband. He died when we were all frozen, but...there were some strange circumstances involving Institute tech that helped us find one another through the barrier of life and death” She pauses, and frowns slightly “ah. And we had a son. but he turned out to be...well. We don’t like to talk about him”

9. What about a partner or partners?

“Curie! My beloved!” She hugs herself with an ear to ear smile “the cutest robot I’ve ever met in my entire life. I helped her get a body, you know. And for the longest time it was just me and her in the wasteland! Now Thomas, Curie and I all intermingle in a lovely little poly amorous triangle”

10. Who are your enemies, and why?

“oh hoho...” She covers her mouth “Bandits. The Gunners. the Enclave. The Brotherhood of Steel. Covenant. Rogue Institute Personnel..Honestly I’m probably forgetting a few”

11. Have you ever heard of The Brotherhood of Steel? What do you think about them?

“They call me the Bane of Steel for a reason” She smiles,  though there’s something almost vicious in it “When they tried to ‘help’ the Commonwealth by killing anything they wished and hoarding tech...” She mimes shooting into the sky “My one regret is that I didn’t keep their airship. Oh well”

12. What about The Enclave?

“HAH!” she laughs out loud, clapping her hands together again “Terrible! The worst idea I’ve ever heard! America fell, you old loons, rebuild it as something new instead of rehashing the same mistakes all over again”

13. How do you feel about Super Mutants?

“Fascinating creatures. I only wish I could meet the ones from the early West Coast. They’re a real testament to the FEV. If only they’d stop trying to fill me with holes long enough for a proper interview..”

14. What’s the craziest fight you’ve ever been in?

“oh...” she sighed “the time my friends and I destroyed the BoS?” She shrugs slightly “I went up into their blimp, and walked right up to that pompous ass who called himself their leader, before vaporizing him. I did manage to preserve his coat” She smiles slightly “Then we had to fight our way out of a sea of trained soldiers to get back to the ground and organize the destruction of their funny little blimp”

15. Have you ever fought a Deathclaw?

“Heavens yes, and I wish I hadn’t. They’re too gorgeous to kill!”

16. Do you like fighting?

“not really” She folds her fingers together with a sad look in her eyes “It’s always sad to have to harm someone or something. And to take a life is always a weight on the soul” She closes her eyes “but to fix the world, you have to survive...”

17. What’s your weapon of choice?

“Energy Weapons” She says with a bright smile “nothing like holding a buzzing laser rifle in your hands and feeling the raw INNOVATION that went into it” She shook her head “i also have a serrated revolutionary war sword I hooked a battery onto that i’m fond of”

18. How do you survive? Your wits, your charm, your skills, brute force, some combination? (a.k.a. what’s your S.P.E.C.I.A.L?)

“Intelligence” She said , holding up her hand “with a side helping of Charisma. You need to have a keen mind in the field of science. To analyze, theorize and know how to convince others to put those theories into practice...” She tapped her head “that’s the key to changing the world”

19. Have you ever been in a vault? What do you think about them?

“I’ve always hated Vault Tec. They invited me to join their little experiment, but I declined in favor of continuing my research into radiation and mutation. And then the damned bastards froze me!”

20. How do you beat all the radiation around here? Has it affected you?

“I wrote several studies on the effects of radiation exposure on the human body! hah, so I have some ideas on how to prevent it. Some lead lining in the clothes, lots of Rad-x and Radaway transfusions....building decontamination arches over all my doors. The usual stuff”

21. What’s your favorite wasteland critter?

“I love those funny little geckos” She smiled “They’re just so precious!”

22. What’s your least favorite wasteland critter?

“Cazadors” She frowned “i knew the idiot who made them back in the day. Hated him then. Damned fool made a flying plague”

23. How do you feel about robots?

“I ADORE robots” She says with almost girlish glee “I’ve always found them so interesting! While I’m a biologist by trade, I’ve always appreciated the sheer science of a robot. That glowing chrome...that hydraulic power...” She looks like she’s going to go on about this for a distressingly long time.

24. How many caps do you have on you right now?

“More than enough to fix the Commonwealth”

25. Nuka Cola or Sunset Sarsaparilla?

"Nuka Cola is absolute swill” She sniffs “ I’m a Sunset Sarsaparilla girl, myself. and just a little side note from one of my studies: Nuka Cola can melt a crab. A whole crab. Just saying!

26. Do you do chems?

“Mentats, Sometimes. I hate the damned things, but damn were they useful during particularly long and stressful studies”

27. Do you ever think about the Pre-War world?

“All the time. I remember it in all it’s glory...in all it’s faults. It was a flawed society built upon fear...but it was also peaceful, and comfortable... a place full of friends I’ll never see again...” She bites her lip gently “...I’ll help the Wasteland become something better... the Old World without it’s flaws..”

28. What’s your deepest regret? What would you do differently?

“Everything. I would have spoken up about the ethical issues I saw in the Institute before the war even began. I would have found another way to survive that wasn’t Vault Tec and it’s Trap. The ...the synth project maybe. I don’t know. I can’t dwell on this question too long without regretting almost everything I’ve done prior to my choice to change the Institute and fix the wasteland”

29. What’s your biggest achievement? Or what do you hope to achieve?

“Which leads us into this.. hah. When my son passed away, he left the Institute to me. in my hands. He trusted I’d keep us on the course he chose...but he was wrong. The Synths were an exercise in needless cruelty. A species created, given sentience and then called slaves and tools. I ...reorganized...the head committee, and demanded a stop to the hunting and production of synths. No more bodysnatching. no more ‘property retrieval’ . No more. There were those who fought me...and there were those who tried to remove me. But I’m stronger than I seem.” She smiled grimly “I got them to see things my way eventually. And with that, the Institute’s copious resources could be turned outward...and used to help the Commonwealth at large”

30. What do you want for the future? For yourself? Your friends? The world? ”I want...” She looks into the middle distance for a moment in thought “A world where we can all live in peaceful co-existence. Ghouls. Synths. Super Mutants, humans, true robots, and anyone else in that great wide world...I want a world where we can all work towards a mutual understanding and betterment of this wonderful Second Chance we’ve all been given”  And now for the tagging <3 @queenofblackcrows @spookdoggy @corpsewyrm @ all those who think Curie is a sweetheart @ all fallout fans who may see this? idk <3

Troll Call Marching Band AU

Who Is This: Cymbals because they’re loud and scare unsuspecting people. “Stop giving me these papers the restroom already provides toilet paper.....Wtf is drill card?”

Marshi Houtek: Clarinet because apparently she enjoys “I didn’t choose the _____ life. The _____ life choose me.” meme

Azdaja Knelax: Snare Drum because he looks like he is part of the matrix and looks like a fun time but isn’t annoying or loud

Konyyl Okimaw: Bass Drum because the instrument is big and she gets to stick with Azdaja in the percussion section

Chixie Roximr: Cornet because she blocks all none praise like a trumpet but she sadly doesn’t have the boldness or excitement as a trumpet. So she settled for cornet.

Zebruh Codakk: Tenor Sax because he already in your DMs and is trying to add some class to his image (but sadly he is failing and is just looking like a creep) “Careless Whisper? Maybe.”

Wanshi Adyata: Flute because she knows it. all of it.

Bronya Ursama: French Horn because she finds time be a president of a club and loves the buddy systems

Fozzer Velyes: Oboe because he always cleaning up after others

Stelsa Sezyat: French Horn because she wears a fanny pack and actually bothers to question what people say. It’s band and most learn not to bother to ask questions but not this girl. She’ll even question the low brass.

Ardata Carmia: Piccolo because she looks like she is scheming something. She IS always scheming something. Probably scheming the death of everyone’s ear drums.

Marvus Xoloto: Euphonium/Baritone because he is part of the low brass (usually grouped in with the tubas not trombones) but nobody outside of band knows what the fuck he is playing and he loves that. Somehow became Drum Major and nobody has clue how (except Wanshi) Conducts a beat behind when the the Directors aren’t looking to fuck everyone up. Seriously how is he the Drum Major? “So here is the top euphonium player’s in the district name, address, family information, history, and romance interests. Go kill him for me so I can get first chair this year. Where I got all this information? I went on his instagram for like ten minutes on the bus ride here.”

Cirava Hermod: Alto Sax because they shouldn’t be alive because of something but they don’t care. (They’re that saxophone that probably is on something) They be chillin. “Careless Whisper? Sure dude.”

Tagora Gorjek: Trumpet because He. Won’t. Shut. Up.

Vikara Ratite: Trombone. You better believe he is that trombone player that always sends their slide flying.

Boldir Lamati: Tuba during concert season but moves to cymbals for marching because she can’t lift a sousaphone. Tuba because she is always plotting to take down the government with conspiracies.

Cymbals because they were the easiest for her to learn quickly for marching band. “For my spring break I’m taking down the government from the inside. They won’t know what hit them.”

Elward: Tenor Drums. Bang x4 (then multiply that by 2 for aesthetic purposes) bitch

Galekh Xigisi: Timpani because he thinks it looks sophisticated

Tirona Kasund: A flute because she is definitely a teacher’s pet.

Lynera Skalbi: French Horn because she is organized and cares to much about academics (the type of person that has to brag about all honors or ap)

Polypa Goezee: Piccolo because excellent relationship advice but she wants something in return. (Flutes will give you relationship advice even if you don’t ask for it)

Tegiri Karbur: Trombone but he like that senior trombone that is tired of everyone shit and already know what’s gonna happen because he already lived through this stupidity many times.

Charun Krojib: Clarinet because they just go with the flow and wears obnoxiously large hats during band practice. “Found this open bag of chips on the bus floor you want some? Yeah they’re barbecue!”

Amishi Erdehn: Glockenspiel because she paid for piano lessons her whole life and thought she could handle this. Can someone tell her that she should get a new piano teacher because nobody knows what she is playing but they know it’s not music

Folykl Darane: Xylophone because she doesn’t want to march. Doesn’t think she needs to shower because she doesn’t march outside and sweat like everyone else

Kuprum Maxlol: Alto Sax because he is overly excited about almost everything. Plays Carless Whisper after every practice (When everyone is dismissed and go to pick up their stuff on the sideline. So everyone can hear it.)

Dieman Xicali: Trombone because the slide reminds him of a oblong meat product.

Skylla Koriga: A cow bell. She has to keep with her theme despite what the directors say. The music piece didn’t even have a cowbell part but don’t worry she made one herself. She hits her cowbell once in measure 3 and precedes to perform a solo square dance for the rest of the show. The band directors and the rest of the band never tell her the correct time and places for the competitions. (Marvus told her the correct time once....fucking disaster)

Nihkee Moolah: Color guard Captain. The other girl that was considered for color guard captain mysteriously lost her hand and now isn’t even part of color guard. Queen of “accidentally” hitting band members with her flag at full force. “I’M THE CAPTAIN, THIS TEAM IS MY CREW, THE FIELD IS THE SHIP, AND MY FLAG IS THE PLANK!”

Chahut Maenad: Color guard for one year but a flag accident landed a poor clarinet player in the hospital. Now she is a sousaphone and her sousaphone case is the most colorful thing you have ever seen. Careful with opening her sousaphone case without permission. Rumor has it when her instrument isn’t in there, a dead body is.

Barzum Soleil: Color guard. Drops her flags a lot during practice but the flag always seems to fall in a way that injures somebody. Her infamous flag drops have been into a meme by the band.

Baizli Soleil: Color guard. Bring a one gallon water jug? Nah. She brings 1 main two gallon water jug and 2 one gallon water jugs for backup. Consistently asking to go to the restroom.

Mallak Adalov: Triangle because he doesn’t want to march and ruin his sweet kicks.

Daraya Jonjet: Electric guitars in marching band? Sure. Why not? We already have a dancing cow bell. She just stands next to the the front ensemble and plays the music and goes home. Water breaks = headphones and rock music.

Zebede Tongva: Snare because the drum is simple and pleasing to him. You hungry? He got your back. Free sample honey sticks for everyone. The band directors are always wondering why the drumstick are sticky.

Tyzias Entykk: Oboe because she probably wants to die. She is the band librarian. In advance she asks everyone how many times will they lose their drill card so she can limit her time at the printer. They are all liars. “Who is this you told me you would only lose it 12 times. This the 34 time you have lost it and how many days of marching band practice have we had so far? 34 days. I will personally tattoo your drill card on you if you lose it again.” Somehow fell asleep in Chahut’s sousaphone’s case once....huge mistake.

What are your personal thoughts on Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight? To me, it's such a cool anime (but still an LL fan). Mimorin and Hinahina are both in it.

Honestly more attached to the seiyuus than the characters I enjoyed StarRev so far, but only because I’m really fond of Banana-chan and Junna. There are many things I keep rolling my eyes at but I will still keep watching it. The animation is super gorgeous and I love the songs.

Probably unpopular opinion but I”ll be honest here:

As main characters, I feel both Karen and Hikari quite flat. Karen’s drive to win the Revue is shallow compared to the other girls’. That’s especially shown in ep3 - Maya acknowledges Claudine but she also understands that there can only be one Top Star. And so, the best she could do is to keep Claudine as number2, her partner.

Karen kept arguing that she wants to be Top Stars with Hikari but, why? What’s the real story behind it, other than a childhood promise? I know more backstory/information will be revealed of course, but for a MC, it’s really bad not to give the audience a relatable/compelling drive XD;;

Tbh, I was really pissed off when she easily neutralized Hikari and Junna’s fight in ep1, and easily defeating Junna in ep2. Like, wtf, you just entered the Revue out of nowhere and OP’d your way through both matches? Don’t fcking look down on bows & arrows I get quite defensive about that I’ll just pretend Junna lost because she’s still recovering and she had doubts. No one faints from exhaustion and bounce right back up ready for a fight.

Hence I cheered so much when Maya beat her. You learn from loss/defeat, so hopefully Karen will grow as a protagonist after that, perhaps re-evaluate why she’s in the Revue at all.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Karen. She’s sweet and kind, and I understand her reasoning of wanting to break the rules/traditions so that everyone can be a Top Star. But yeah, I just find the delivery of her goal poorly done.

Don’t get me started on Hikari. The only plus point she has atm is that her VA is Mimorin. That’s it. Not fond of constantly brooding chars. If only they’d shown enough hints why she’s angsting.

Nothing much to say about Futaba and Kaoruko atm, just that I do like their dynamic with the group so far but I do need more info on them. Ditto for Mahiru, but I do feel really bad for her. (I’m sorta reminded of VividRed Operation, of the triangle between Akane, Aoi and Rei. Yup, I didn’t like Rei either lol)

Maya and Claudine should just smut already with all that sexual tension are intriguing and very meme-able. Maya’s song in ep3 is my fav one so far cuz the lyrics fits her so damn much, I love it. This is Sparta.

Last but not least, best girls Banana and Junna. iirc Junna is the only one who calls her actual name Nana instead of her nickname and y’all know how weak I am towards special names (Lily-Yocchan hello) but that’s not why they’re my best girls. Banana, mom of the group, genuinely tries to befriend Hikari and in ep3 is actually trying out being director, which I think is really cool. Junna is a very hard worker and I always have a soft spot for underdogs. Those who work hard deserve to get recognized and not being easily swept away by some OP’d MC cheh

Anyway, this is not my final opinion on StarRev. There are still room for improvement. This is only ep3 after all.

The Giraffe? I’ve long given up trying to make sense. If this is some magical girl/fantasy genre show, I won’t mind but … isn’t this supposed to be closer to real life…??? WHY IS THERE A TALKING GIRAFFE AND WHY IS NO ONE WEIRDED OUT WHY DID THE GIRLS JUST ACCEPT ITS PRESENCE my brain just cannot handle pls logics pls
