#theyd have to accept they lost

[nururu]

oh also???? law protecting Zoro????? throwing away the "plan" (which he has been being SOOOOOO annoying about) just to make sure Zoro doesn't die? during thriller bark and sabaody and Zoro's time at mihawks I was SOOOOO upset that no one was recognizing how sacrificial he was being and how he was on his last leg, and no one was stepping in for him until it was too late. I owe my life to perona for taking care of him.

[rebellum]

I ran out of fucking tags in my rant agsbrkglhlhlhlh part 2:

[zan0tix]

I yap so much about the comic and the importance i find in its contents but i hope when i write dirk or jake or rlly any of them it doesnt come off as me dumbing them down😭

I know the core internal mechanisms at which they all operate from otherwise i wouldnt understand why they even do what they do and why they speak how they do since that is so crucial to analysis of their behaviour and Why they were written.

But i mostly write silly scenarios so the deeper messier parts dont get to show much😭 working on deeper things tho rest assured i am locking in🫡🫡🫡

I try to match the tones of how i believe the characters would act continuing off the ending of homestuck. With dirk and jake specifically i try to write them to where they still both kinda dont say everything they need to but they dont have the weight of narrative destiny on their shoulders anymore so they can admit they like spending time together and have actually confessed like normal people and got out those apologies they kept yammering on about in the last half of act 6

I try to reinvoke the ridiculous nature of the one time we really see the real dirk and jake talk (which was actually a dreambubble memory. jake is so gay.) but i try to make it feel how that did, they really do love spending time together and just being weird and cringe and bantering about stupid shit ❤️(the most we see dirk type laugh in the comic)

(Always Highly recommend reading this log if you havent in a while. Its just such good writing theyre so funny) https://www.homestuck.com/story/4844

I feel like the Best Bros part of dirkjake kinda gets lost alot of the time considering THEY NEVER SPEAK DIRECTLY (which is insane that hussie could craft this universe bending gender norm shattering yaoi with no fucking interactions wtf anyway) but there is alot you can gleam from jakes interactions with hal and this one log to tell us how they usually speak

Dirk always veers into making homoerotic comments because.. i dunno he might have feelings for jake or something whos to say. and when jake presses him dirk immediately diverts. I think from being around dave and everything daves realised thats bullshit about masculine standards and heroism that let him have a healthier relationship to masculinity, hearing abt that would loosen dirk up about Actually being affectionate to jake

But hes still somehow trying to no homo his way out of things that are incredibly homo just in a subtler way, not immediately going “Haha, what? I never said that. Anyway.” (Its both out of his fear for what his true identity means about him as a man but also because he doesnt think he deserves to get such affections cough thinks himself an evil)

And jake was always going with the flow. If his friends socially decreed something as okay to talk about then the fucking damn burst open and he couldnt keep it in anymore but they had to Very Clearly Clarify with him about it. So i think dirk going down a more positive road would lead jake there too seeing that if its okay for dirk to be less restrictive with his feelings jake can be too.

The Epilogues has a highly specific premise and was being manned by caliborn and calliope 2.0 cranked to the max in the deranged fanfic behaviour so. Of course it would not be a healthy environment for characters to grow💀 anyone who takes it as full confirmation about how theyd act or become as adults and ignores the fact of its premise Being “Homestuck but Sick and Twisted; The Fanfiction” is kind of stupid its like saying homosuck was in character. Ofc everybodys lives goes to shit because the two running the show dont know how the hell to be good puppeteers 😭

Said it on twitter but you can tell how much a dirk hates himself based on his relationship to a jake. Because tho ult dirk wouldnt ever admit it jake is dirks anchor of self worth just as dirk is jakes. When they show compassion and kindness to one another its a step closer to self acceptance because Jake is quite frankly a living embodiment of EVERYTHING that is “wrong” (queer, cringe, sincere, feminine) about Dirk to himself in his saviour complex surrounding manhood. (See Everything caliborn says about jake) jakes always waiting for dirk. If dirk were to step down and admit his own humanity itd mean hed have to accept he is capable of growing and isnt inherently evil, and jake would be ready to embrace that about himself too

Anyway all that to say. Even in my simple silly writing i at least do try to retain dirk and jakes strange emotional dodging olympics but also its just on a smaller level since theyve inching their way to fully internalising that Its Okay to be Cringe and Gay Together❤️ because the World isnt Ending anymore. Its in the little things they dont say because haha im the one who makes them say words.

Dirk and jake hate themselves because theyre not men in the right way but their love is because of them not being men in the right way so.. nerm.. Whos flying the plane?

[superscourge]

What would the interaction between Iblis and Infinite meeting for the first time be like?

so the way i had been picturing it was starline (flatline now) would have "created" her (as in pulled her out of mephiles' timeline and then given her a body similarly to how meph got his) in order to lure him away so he can get at infinite's phantom ruby

so theyd show up and mephiles would be kind of baffled bc at that point he'd Accepted that he'd never see iblis again. he'd missed her this whole time yes but he was ok with being without her now, he'd found his warmth elsewhere with his family. but when she shows up he almost like. shuts down lol

like of course hes going to approach her. of course theyre going to touch and hold each other like theyve never seen each other before in their lives--technically they Havent, not like this. and hes so enraptured by her presence he almost forgets about the rest of them

but then he hears their voices calling out to him. he remembers that theyre there, and that he's part of that family now...and he makes the choice to step away from her. he chooses his family over whatever flatline is trying to pull, even if that means giving up the one he lost.

she doesnt take it well and Lots Of Fire Happens but mephiles teleports himself and his family away to somewhere safe. and thats the first time they see him cry

(dont worry ive already decided that this is the timeline where they convince her to join them too LOL so it ends up fine)

mythborning in the year of our lord 2024

do we think about how ryan and aster probably never fully accepted connor being dead. after the first day reset and shit i mean. theyd go to bed, silently hoping tomorrow theyd wake up and itd be like that day never happened, hell maybe they get set back again to the day of the big game. and they both just. they dont want to think of the idea that connors gone.

asters the one who trys to fight for him back. she makes up new reasons and such as to why hes not gone, ways they could possibly bring him back (it doesnt help that in this state she sounds so much like him about his brother). she looks through her dads artifact collections, seeing if any would make sense in any way to bring him back to life, losing care of its cost. she even tries to find his book or something of its nature, but finding that, if even possible, doesnt help because its a book made to kill not bring to life again. i dont imagine asters religious, not in the sense that she doesnt think gods are real (one is her mother), but that she never felt a pull to worship one. for the first time in her life, she tries to pray. she prays to her mother, reciting every word and performing every detail, squishing the tears from her eyes because god she cant let herself be seen so broken by this boy infront of a divine being and sure its the first time shes tried reaching out like this but she just needs one chance to talk to her. of course, whether or not it works and she sees her, she doesnt revive him. the day doesnt reset and he comes back to life. and somewhere inside her she knows this couldnt have worked, shes the daughter of a goddess and knows the balance of mortality and immortality. shes known he was gone the moment the rats attacked. thats why she fought so hard, because the small amounts of divine energy she held surely could beat what has been written by those above her just this once, just for him.

ryan doesnt let himself break. he has a floatball team to be on and an act to keep up and a friend who needs him. he doesnt have the ability to stop and let himself process how hed join in the bullying of "con-nerd" and how he gave ryan that hug before going to that gym and getting to see the vulnerable sides of connor when he talked about or even showed them (he probably showed him his friends) his brother. sure, he may know what its like to have lost family and connor was close in a way similar (might be a small shipper of those two. what of it. /lh they can be friends too ofc) and now hes gone and hell never get to hear him call ryan stupid when hes wearing his goofy grin or does something actually dumb. ryan, whos meant to be strong, let his friend get crushed by rats. and he wont break. he'll just tell gary to fuck off when hes caught tearing up after a floatball game because he had to look in the stands and know that connors not gonna be there selling hotdogs again. he can just put another lie in his act when hes looking in these history textbooks and say he wasnt thinking of olden magic usages and how they might be able to bring him back, closing his eyes so he doesnt gaze on them.

it takes ryan grabbing asters wrists and looking her dead in the eyes and telling her "i dont fucking like it, but connors gone. you know it. i know it. this is just gonna hurt you more. please. i cant lose one more person." it takes her looking in ryans eyes to see how theyre tired and dried out and his muscles seem to instinctively hold up a smile and how his grips just slightly too strong and yet he just is so tired and wants more then anything his best friend back. his breaths getting shakey and louder and he starts sniffling and she just grabs him down and they become sobbing messes of kids on the floor because god fucking damn it connors gone and nothings magically fixing this and nothing will be the same ever again.

it takes them a bit to figure out where his gravestone is. its empty. they should have honored him sooner, they know it, but they just wanted to hope that it wasnt just connors memory they had left living.

[saltyskeletonkidpasta]

agree with everything you said in your post. i also didn't like how season 7 erased how horrible beckett and ross/sullivan and to some extent all of 19 were to maya. they really wanted us to believe that maya (and carina) became friends with the workplace bullies that almost inadvertently killed her? good enough friends to attend ross & sullivans wedding/wedding party? make it make sense.

I agree it was weird. Maybe if the show hadn't been cancelled they might've continued the drama but they wanted to end things on a good note and I understand remaining professional especially maya as I'm sure she wanted no more drama but I remember repeatedly saying throughout s7 and even seasons before that that I would not stay at 19 if I was maya I really dont think there is any reason she should trust them to keep her safe. Like these people literally just watched her suffer for MONTHS and did nothing. She has been there for pretty much all of them and only andy was there for her when she lost her job AND when she ended up in hospital. The fact that maya was the one to apologise to beckett in 7x05 really pissed me off like yes she probably should apologise, although she already took full responsibility in s6, but there is absolutely no reason why beckett shouldnt apologise to her aswell. He literally bullied her to the point of mental collapse she only gave him alcohol in retaliation to months of abuse. Same with ross there is no reason she shouldnt have apologised either and when maya apologised in 6x16(?) She only said "some taken" so she didnt even fully accept her apology when maya wasnt the only one who owed one.

But these writers refuse to make certain characters look bad. They seemed to love Sullivan and ross and gave them sm screentime and excused all their actions. If they made them apologise then theyd actually have to acknowledge their disgusting behaviour which would get in the way of becketts redemption arc and ruin their perfect image of sully and ross.

[nichoskittycorner]

Ok I got another one then:

Your stereotypical demon/spirit/whatever... but it just... instead of being violent because it wants you gone and to just hurt you...it does the polar opposite... refusing to let you leave let alone take even the slightest damage... getting violent only when you try and leave...or when... someone/something tries to take/... honestly just inconvenience you in any way...

Yes I know what a yandere is.

You have amazing ideas omg:

I can definitely see this as something like a ghost/spirit would do. Like you move into a pretty cheap property because theres rumors that a ghost that lives there keeps harassing everyone that sets foot onto the property. As a result its fallen into a bit of a state of disrepair.

You decide to brave the ghost and move in (also it was hella cheap). Getting to cleaning up and redecorating before move in day. Of course the ghost wasnt happy to see you at first and is instantly trying to scare you off.

But once they notice your beauty, they kinda freeze up and just watch you curiously. Watching as you clean up and repair the home. Unknowingly fixing up their grave site, pleasing the ghost greatly. And so, they decide you're a good one to keep around.

After moving in, you still notice things move around but not in a malicious way. Like putting your lost keys in an obvious place or having your umbrella ready by the door on rainy days.

You know it's the ghost and appreciate their kindness, thanking them. Eventually you just start talking out loud knowing they're around. You can always tell they're close when a cold breeze tickles your skin.

The ghost starts to respond more openly and reveal themselves to you after several months, nearly making you scream but you quickly calm down. Greeting them like an old friend and making casual conversation.

You start to see them as a legitimate friend! But to them, you were more than a friend. You were their whole world. They just had to be beside you. Watching you, making sure you were safe and in view.

They watched you eat, sleep, do housework, and remorsefully watched every time you left the house. It broke them that they couldnt be by your side.

Clearly you were meant for them, you came here after all. Practically delivered by whatever deity or god you believe in. You were meant to stay here.

It started out small but you caught on quickly. Every time you tried to leave, theyd beg you to stay. Whining, dropping the temperature and even making sure your clothes got caught on the door as you left.

At some point, they just started to say no. "No you arent leaving." But they couldnt stop you and you'd leave anyway. But they couldnt have you do that- no the next time you tried, you realized the door wouldnt budge.

After several attempts you realized it was your friend and had to beg to be let out. But they refused to relent. You couldve tried another door but you're sure they locked them all at this point.

For the first time, you were scared of them. Scared you would be trapped here with a ghost who never let you out and youd starve to death or something. They hugged you close, chilling you more than you already were. A sad attempt at comfort.

Professing their love and how they were the only one you needed and they could protect and care for you here. No one else needed to see or touch you, they werent important.

You tried fighting back but it only angered them. The walls shook as bruises started to appear on your skin from the pressure of their hold. You wailed and begged to be freed but your cries fell on deaf ears.

Accepting defeat for now, you nodded. Staying home and withering away. You were afraid you would die like this.

Begging your 'friend' you asked if someone could at least bring you food since you ran out a few days ago. You needed food to live. Pulling on their heartstrings managed to work as you were allowed to invite a friend over to bring you something to eat.

You played it cool once they arrived. Opening the door to the concerned face of a friend who hadnt heard from you in days. And just as you grabbed the food, you ran into their arms and fled the home, dragging them along.

It broke your heart to hear the painful wails of your once friend pleading for you to come back. You couldve sworn you felt an ice pick dig into your heart but you couldnt turn back in case they trapped you again.

Your stuff was quickly moved out- breaking the lease didnt matter and even if you exorcised the home, youd still have nightmares about that door not opening. But even when you tried to move on, you could still hear their voice or panic when your clothes got caught on a doorknob.

[blood-injections]

Got inspired by this post by @montypng to collect(infodump) all my little thoughts about the girl so here you go. Spoilers for ttlotfk comic ahead.

She’s such a tragic character to me. First of all. She has no name?? Like she lived with the Fab Four for however long and there’s no way they’d just fucking call her ‘the girl’ unless it was like. A placeholder until they found out who she is or until she chose her own killjoy name. But still theyd have a nickname for her like motorbaby which I usually have them call her in anything I write. But motorbaby is also just a general zone term so what then. Anyway I propose one of them nicknamed her Starchild or Stargirl because of how much she looked like Jet Star and it stuck.

Anyway before the Fab Four fall, despite living in what is essentially a postapocalyptic desert and definitely facing hardships she was always happy go lucky, was too young to realize how shitty life can be yet, especially because the Fab Four did their best protecting her from all the scary things. Then she was captured and the fabulous four died and it definitely all set in at once. Maybe she was confused by the concept of them being gone at first but it didn’t take long for her to feel truly scared for the first time. Scared, hopeless, lost. She didn’t know what to do without them so she ran off. And somehow she survived until the comics came around and she’s what? Sixteen? And at some point she realized that the Fab Four sacrificed themselves just for her and she feels like she doesn’t deserve it. Four lives for one? What kind of bullshit was that. From the age she was old enough to understand that she’s had that guilt and anger festering inside her and she’s hated herself while also growing to hate them for sacrificing themselves for her, while simultaneously grieving and loving and idolizing them because despite the stupid way they died they were her family.

But she’d hate herself for that and she’d hate herself for running away, both on the day they were killed- even though she was a little kid and couldn’t have done anything and would’ve died too if she fought to stay with them- and after, when they got back to the zones and she ran away from Cherri and the others that rescued her. She hates herself for abandoning them even though she didn’t really do that, they live on through her but she doesn’t accept that until long after she goes kaboom.

And that one scene in the comic, when she’s with Cherri and he’s collecting the fab four’s things, she says she can’t remember their faces anymore. She knows of her mother but the Fab Four were the only family she ever really knew, and now she’s gone and forgotten them. she can only remember whisps of them now, bloody last words, scars and hair color. She hates herself for this, too. In her mind, not only did they die for her, but she’s failed them and she’s forgotten them, she’s just a homeless nobody teen barely surviving that can’t even shoot a gun. She doesn’t know who the Fab Four are anymore and she doesn’t know who she is at all.

Then she finds a remnant of party poison, that mask, and buys it because it’s something familiar, something from them she can hang on to when she has nothing else, hardly even memories. Then Val Velocity comes along(I hate him sooo fucking much but he has so much headcanon potential it’s horrible really) and they clash from the start but they’re also one in the same, angry clueless kids that want to bring back something that died years ago. And Val is an asshole, nothing like the faint memories she has of Party Poison, and she hates him and the way he’s spitting on Poison’s legacy rubs her the wrong way because however much she agrees with him that they were stupid for sacrificing themselves for her, a nobody kid that really shouldn’t have survived this long, she wont let her family’s memory be abused like Val is doing, so she sticks around for a chance to do or say something to get him to stop. But then he also looks like Party, and his face is beginning to fill in those gaps in her memory because he has the hair and he’s wearing the mask but that will never be Poison’s face, and she hates him for that too, for beginning to taint even her own memory.

Then she finds out what she is. That she’s nothing but a weapon, that she was placed where she was on purpose and watched her whole life and that she’s not a person, not to bli. But she sees the chance she has, a chance to fix things, to finally honor that sacrifice. That’s why they did it, because of what she was, what she could do. Not four lives for one, four lives to end a war. Not that she wanted that either, she’d rather all four of them still be alive and fighting than dead and the desert have peace. But she needs to honor that sacrifice, to make it worth it, so she goes to the city to end it all. And she fully expects to die. She’s been told she’s a bomb and so she expects to explode, for her life force to somehow do something. She thinks she’s giving her life to save the world just like the Fab Four did all that time ago and she thinks that maybe she’ll get to see them again now, because she fulfilled her purpose as a bomb, as a weapon. She saved the world, she’ll get to see them and she’ll deserve to.

But then she goes off and she’s still standing. And party’s mask is back in her hands and the city is free and what now? She did what she was meant to do, what was her purpose now? She still has no family, the Fab Four are still gone, Cherri and Doctor D are gone now too and they were the closest thing she had left to family. And maybe her mother somehow returns maybe she doesn’t. Either way, for a while she’s truly and completely alone, purpose fulfilled and a little less guilt ridden, but not really.

Eventually she accepts that she’s a good thing, that nothing was her fault and there’s nothing that she doesn’t deserve, that the Fab Four didn’t give their lives to save a weapon but to save her, their kid, because whether she’d end the war or not, even if she was completely ordinary, she was their kid and they couldn’t just let bli take her. She didn’t get to choose what happened to her but they did, and they chose to give her a chance to live, something she’d never have if she stayed stuck in the city. They had already lived and loved and just wanted her to have that too, with or without them.

She accepts all that one day, but it takes a while.

Soo whats the werewolf lore in your angst au?

IM GLAD YOU ASKED

heres the thing, in the modern times as long as you got like... 80 percent werewolf blood and the basic traits, you'll be considered one.

You got the claws, the hearing, the vocal chords to growl and bark? yeah youre considered some form of a werewolf

since other outcasts began poppin in, mixed blood started sprout up in werewolf communities and so there began a lil rule. You can be a werewolf and you can claim to have werewolf blood but you wont be considered pack material to werewolves until your first shift, or wolf out as they say in the show.

werewolf children are taught the basics of behaviors. Such as always keep your head down to your betters, no baring of teeth or scrunching of face and make sure to not leave your things in someone elses house.

no mentions of scents because i like to think those get triggered when the first shift comes (basically wolf puberty, which is why it usually happens around 10-13 smth or maybe earlier. Most primal instincts are left to fester under the persons skin without them knowing until they wolf out, so it's fitting with teenage angst tbh)

Its all wolf posture transferred to a walking person.

nowadays, such things are slid under the radar. Normies are expressive and since outcasts are seen more around them, the more modern packs accept such behaviour as long as it isn't done during public events, full moons or a direct challenge.

They've gone lenient you can say and it isnt surprising that there some werewolf abilities got lost in the wind due to time.

but, those are the newer generation.

Theres this ability i like to think werewolves can have, almost like a warning signal. Elder wolves used to do this as a warning if pups get too overexcited or to warn predators whenever patrolling their boundaries

Its a wolves ability to fuck up/trigger a person's instincts. Like tone! it essentially sets the tone in whats happening. Not like you can talk in wolf form so most in done through instincts and body language. This ability is usually used when one is shifted but the more experienced can use it in human form too.

This is the ability that the newer wolves dont know they can do outside of wolf form.

older wolves are so much more ruthless too. Parents and alphas nowadays settled disputes with words or the occasional tight grasp around the shoulder to give of a sign but shit, an elder? a wolf of the olden times, someone born way before the 1800?

an elder would smile with all teeth and sink their hands around your throat before pining you to the ground at any sign of defiance. theyd grasp and theyd choke you out until you submit and understand that theyre your better and you better listen to them or else.

They play at what they own, theyre possesive as hell and they will keep what they think is theirs because they earned it after all. They don't usually do words unless necessary, so expect alot of physical showcases of strenght to get their way and they will push boundaries as much as they can unless you can prove them otherwise.

They are all that Enid doesn't do.

There are the wolves that are showing up to Enid's home place, these are the type of wolves that i want Enid to deal with first hand.

Call me sadistic but i like throwing characters into the deep end, especially when it comes to stuff that they should know about but simply dont due to reasons.

Ramblings of my hurting teenage self

- islam was created by men, for men

it’s not a choice, you’re pressured and coerced to cover up as a child because of men. “It’s freedom because they see you as a person, not an object”. Wearing it further demonstrates that men are the centre of everything. everything women do is for men. cover up to make it easier for men to take you seriously. you can’t have sex, intimacy or a relationship till marriage. not to mention you cant have male friends either, maybe in the sick twisted arab world where everybody is apparently sex crazed (why wouldnt they be when you arent allowed sex till marriage, people are horny, it’s human nature); sex is forbidden. all that is taught is abstinence. so men are taught they can get away with rape and abuse bc “she wasnt covered up properly”. it’s vicous, it’s violent, it’s cruel. women are taught to be afraid for their reputations and lives. men are taught that mistakes are forgivable. it’s problematic because we arent being taught about safe sex, protection, prevention and most importantly CONSENT. But it’s the blatant dismissal of homosexuality and asexuality for me. the pure hatred towards homosexual men, and dissmisal of homosexual women and asexuals... isn’t that the most staright cis male thing there is, can women who have been raped and molested even talk about their trauma to their families or husbands?. well that’s islam for you.

women get property and landrights or someshit! when does she get that ? oh yeah... when she’s is in a marriage with an entitled psychopath who can do as he pleases to her. ‘sow his seed however he likes’ or some man made bullcrap. discipline ur wives like children.. or are they meant to come as children ?

seriously who writes this crap.

not once in my life has being a muslim benefited me, and i dont openly say this, because i fear of the ramifications. i’m not sure what they are.. disownment, acceptance, killing.. i dont know, and i dont want to. i can never come out. because i am afraid.

i learn new things about my parents’ beliefs everyday, and sometimes i genuinely wonder if they are joking.. they arent.

and they expect me to know...

i dont know if mum was kidding when she told me theyd kill me if i lost my virginity as i was 12.

my brothers are misogynistic and i am constantly reminded of it. they think every woman just wants to suck their dick or get with them for their money. how could i blame them. we females are soulless emotional creatures without minds. just boobs nd ass... property... land.

we aren’t somebodies. we arent even some.. just bodies. wives, daughters, sisters and mothers.

they seem like property terms. or maybe thats my internalised misogyny.

i’m sick of making excuses for this shit “a hijab to me is like pants to you” i’m lying. im hurting. im oppressed. i cant take off my hijab and denouce this leech of a religion. like all people born into religion.. i am a suicidal teenager afterall. im barely coping as it is. how am i supposed to go on without possibly having a family. i can’t leave, i’ve never been independent. i have noone.

i’m opressed by a crippling culture. a culture of entitled men who are encouraged to believe that women are theirs. i am not yours. i never was. i never will be. fuck you.

OC - Lark Penn

sometimes you impulsively make an oc at 2 am and then you keep turning them around in your head for the next few hours unable to sleep because theyre so skrunkly and suddenly its 6 am and you NEED to draw them. anyway this is my baby lark i love them very much

pokemon oc if it wasnt obvious already dkfjlasdkjflasd but aaahhhhh theyre so baby aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

lark penn, they/them, 16 years old, from eterna city in sinnoh, so very tired. aspiring artist with a special love for sculpture. their parents are kinda busy 24/7 so they just kinda raised themselves (and they had really nice elderly neighbors who taught them how to cook and also how to do a mean right hook if anyone ever tried to hurt them).

more info under the cut if youre interested!

they wear loose, long sleeved clothing with less saturated colors, and almost always wear a scarf. when they were younger they believed the flowy ends could be wings. theyre emotionally and socially awkward (like me :D) and cant handle people being around them very well. they always put in earbuds with music when they go grocery shopping (also me afdbfasffhhfcgfbn)

they really really like flying types. they met ven the zubat in a cave somewhere while they were stumbling along looking for cool rocks. they didnt have any pokemon at that point so ven kind of maybe poisoned them a bit (there are a lot of humans that come through the ravaged path and a good percentage of them dont do anything good. flash bright lights, break parts of the walls, litter, etc etc) and lark was like. oh. that sure happened. and theyre like "hey mx. zubat? uh. do you know the way out? i get that you poisoned me out of a sense of self defense so ill see myself out but im kinda lost also i probably need medical help" and ven is like. bestie you fr right now and shows them out of the cave where they promptly collapse and ven kinda likes this human at this point so they go get help. long story short, woah its lark's first pokemon! theyre besties!

umbra the corviknight was brought to sinnoh as a rookidee by a rich galarian trainer on vacation. sinnoh is very much colder than galar (in my hc at least) and the baby bird's wings could not handle it. consequently her battling was severely hindered, so the entitled rich trainer shoved her off to someone else (who happened to be lark. they were just at the right pokemon center at the right time) and they were having none of it. then they realized umbra would be in a much better home if they accepted her. ven proceeded to leave the rich trainer with poison and a nasty bite on the ankle. umbra has been added to the party! she adapts to the colder climate gradually and with much care from lark

lark isnt a battler but ven definitely is. ven is a fast and bitey little menace who prefers staying unevolved because they love it when people underestimate a tiny zubat and then get obliterated. also they really like being small and sleeping in lark's scarf (and they are kinda scared to become a golbat. they saw a big one being a bully back in the cave and theyre scared evolution will make them meaner. it wont and they know it, but lark doesnt mind ven napping in their scarf for as long as they want to). umbra...umbra likes battling sometimes, but she doesnt like it when its too intense. reminds her of her old trainer. not good. she doesnt mind evolving- her evolution into corvisquire was out of something like fear that she wasnt good enough as a rookidee. lark figured that out, hugged her, and told her that no matter how strong she was theyd always love her. she evolved into corviknight with more love in her heart, and she loves being big enough to fly lark around and to curl around them as they sleep.

haha yup i am so normal about pokemon

I am sending this ask because I need something to distract me while I am out of internet so feel free to ignore, or delete this. So hi! It's the person who mentioned the smallidarity life series partners thing and I am being pushy by just saying it now LOL

I think if they teamed up for a series, it would start with them finding each other and Jimmy wanting to team. Joel would light heartedly half joke about how he'll do it but only to show he's clearly the Superior player in the series bc he will be the first to MAKE SURE Jimmy doesn't die first as his partner.

They'd build a base together and Jimmy would be dragged into conflict after conflict because Joel likes to cause problems but Joel will come running to help him if HE causes problems too even if he's "late" (he was there as soon as Jimmy called) and complains about needing to save Jimmy from himself afterwards.

They are both loyal, but I think Jimmy is more loyal in the sense that I don't think he'd be capable of betraying Joel or hurting him in a way that matters while I can imagine Joel choosing to betray Jimmy but ONLY if it will garuntee him a win or at the very least something as valuable as a life when he needs it. [Joel is attached though. No matter what, he'd be so very attached despite his best efforts not to be.]

Jimmy dies first. I know Joel was the reason for at least one of Jimmy's deaths. Whether he lost his final life because of himself or because of Joel doesn't matter. Joel will be upset either way, and he will kill whoever caused Jimmy's death directly. And if he did it to himself, then he will kill whoever took any of Jimmy's other lives as revenge. He'd be a lone wolf for the rest of the series and while he may make an alliance of obligation with other reds or other non reds, he will never be loyal or attached to them like he was Jimmy.

Every episode he does without Jimmy will be spent making jokes about him while also simultaneously missing him and admitting to it on the very rare occassions. I don't think Joel would win but if he did, it'd be bittersweet I think. He won, he's happy, he kills himself to join his little buddy in the afterlife.

OH PLEAAASEEE. my internet was. SO BAD when I got your ask and I prommy I tried to answer it SUPER enthusiastically but it got eaten. twice. because of the bad data and then I forgot to answer it when I had better connection cause Im so scatterbrained. AND THEN I got back from vacation and got swamped with work and couldnt finish replying but seriously I could nawt want anything more. Life Series Smallidarity is my evvvveeeerything they mean. SO SO SO fucking much to me. you and your thoughts are ALWAYS ALWAAYYYYYSS so so so fucking welcome here in my inbox. PLEASE.... I adore them

ALLLLLL OF THIS IS SO GOOD AND SOOO REAL. you know them Perfectly. this all feels so so real. I need this more than anythiiing next season. I really do. I just MMMMNNGNMMMNG. you got them so perfect Im gonna SOB. I think they would meet eachother First again too. Like Joel is the first player Jimmy sees all season, and yup. they do their whole spiel where Jimmy asks something of Joel but this time Joel accepts it— its only to prove hes so much better than everyone else, than Scott and Tango and the whole goddamn Southlands because hes the fucking best and hell keep Jimmy by his side and alive when they couldnt.

They really would cause. soooo many problems. Joel is. Always so annoying (endearing) and so fighty and shitty and when Jimmy gets a little touch of confidence and ego hes SUCH a shithead too. theyd talk their way into a lot of problems theyd have to fight (or cowardly scurry) their way out of.

dunno if this is as realistic/in character but thinking abt Joel being the first red name again, or an early one. through either his own overconfident idiocy or. even. semi on purpose so he can be a violent mess. but they ignore the red rules and him and Jimmy stay allied. maybe Joel claims he keeps attacking Jimmy and trying to chase him off, but its not working. Jimmys too stupid (read; too loyal) to keep his distance. just the vibes of that 3rd Life era red x yellow/green allyship combined with Joels insane longevity and threat level as a red name in Last Life.

anon. anon I am speaking directly into your ear you have no idea how insane Joel post Jimmy death makes me. Joel expressing his loss and mourning through vengeance even if its (at least partially) his fault OOOOOOOHHHH. OOOOH OH. you get HIM and you get ME. the joking about him in his absence intercut with genuine care and missing him. when he does that it drives me CRAZY it would be even more batshittttt if they were direct allies

HE WON... HES HAPPY... HE KILLS HIMSELF TO JOIN HIS LITTLE BUDDY IN THE AFTERLIFE.... ANON YOU BROKE MY FUCKING HEARTTTTT. I think a Jimmy first dead and a Joel win while theyre allied would be INSANITY it would be PEAK thematic yumminess. especially with Joel being responsible for taking one of Jimmys lives. oooooh you have to sacrifice what means the most to you to win. this is a cruel fucking game and only loss and sacrifice and loneliness wins it for you.

anon you have made me do something drastic. help.

HELP

(I have started a traffic smallidarity PMV)

anyway silliness aside youve really got to the heart of why they would be suuuch a powerful and heart wrenching team and why I love traffic smallidarity so much. all of this is so real and canon feeling because so much of it has. happened before. even with them being only loose allies and there being. so little content technically. theres just so much potential there and if they were teamed it would be amped up even more and absolutely destroy me. anon I have been rotating everything you said and the traffic smallidarity possibilities in general in my head since I got this, youve really made my week (SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG I HATE BEING BUSY,,,,) and you really have such an excellent read on themmm, this is why traffic smallidarity is still my fav and what got me crazy abt them. augh. me when theres Them.

Do you have anymore information on adult Wesley? i believe you mentioned she became a part of the board, how did her dads take that?

Yes!! Im still on the fence about wether her dads know before or after. I feel like after because theyd absolutely deem it too unsafe for her, though she ends up hating being on the board.

She ties her ears back when she is at work or around other board members to mask any emotions, since her ears are expressive. I feel for the most part she is feared instead of liked. She doesnt want to be around anyone from the board outside of work- she doesnt like or respect them at all after everything they put her friends and dads through. She also does everything she can to dispose of any info, dirt or records they have on her dads to keep them safer, bcuz she knows theyre not going to stop causing problems on purpose.

She doesnt attend the retreats at all because she doesnt want to be around drunk people that she doesnt even like. Shes had issues w government employees hitting on her(They were never seen again…) so she’d rather just…not. She also knows her dads enjoy the retreats and itd be awkward to be there at the same time as them.

She hates working on the board and does everything she can think of to get honorably discharged, which is why she has a metallic robot hand now. She shoved her hand in some machinery to get let go for injury reasons but that didnt work. She eventually gets discharged for doing it with her other hand(That one was reattatched but she lost all feeling in it), and bcuz she was honorably discharged instead of fired, she still gets all the benefits such as insurance.

Shes still friends with all her former classmates and they hang out frequently. Shes still a bit mad that all of them are in happy relationships but she isnt but for the most part shes just kind of accepted this and is happy for them.

This part of her storyline socially is literally just this scene

After spinning around thy creature in my head like a microwave, i finally found the solution to the justine/creature plotline. Spoilers below.

In EA creature doesnt know who killed William. Meaning it completely forgot about what it did. Thy Creature has a tendency to discuss about what makes a human, and what our memories do for us. Like is someone really themselves without their memories? They talk about how lost people are shadows of their former selves. Nepe Victor states that why shouldn't he be the real Victor if he already has r!victors memories. Hes practically the same person. To which creature responds no to.

The thing is, in the og Frankenstein, the creature kills William in retaliation because it had experienced a world that didnt love it. It only recieved hatred and anger. But it learned that it wasnt powerless, it could retaliate. And thus kills William. What if TC creature forgets all that torment? Or at least the events that led it to killing William like the Delaceys rejecting it. It only has a few memories but most of them have been stolen by the tower and it needs to get them back. Along the way, as it gains friends, it wouldnt go down the same path as before. So when it finally regains its memory of killing William, its horrified. Because its a changed person now, a person that recieved friendship and acceptance from Justine, Noah, and possibly EL.

Justine still has every right to be mad at it. And everyone would still be upset at it. But there could be a point made that pre-tower creature and post-tower creature arent the same person. Metaphorically ofc, creature still has to take responsibility for what it did back then, but now it has to prove that its not dangerous + regrets it. By the end while Justine cannot forgive it and still may hate it, she may acknowledge that its a different person now, and won't hurt anyone like that anymore. They did this with kyuhan and pyotr in pechka before, they can do this sorta dynamic again.

Pre-tower creature was essentially still a child. Creatures age thing is weird bc physically its an adult but mentally a childish. Its only 1-3 years old and it could be argued that its not mature at all. It killed william in a fit of rage and like. Children act out, they do petty ass shit. Its just creature takes that to the extreme and kills a child in retaliation bc, thats all it ever knew. Violence and hatred.

It could hypothetically re-earn the residents trust by killing EL and freeing Noah, Justine, and Chris from his grasp. Ofc theyd be like WHY THE FUCK DID YOU KILL EL. But as soon as they see his diary theyd be like oh shit ur fr rn.

Im Brazilian and i learnt about ppl speaking multiple languages before i learn they spoke different ones so i just. Occasionally would look upon the name of the book authors my parents got me and "well its in portuguese so they obviously are Brazilian. I guess the other letters of the alphabet have to be used for something then???"

Anyways i was rotating the mostly because you mentioned theyd have some reading material, and i just. Stopped to realize how much modern actual life content is digitised and thus presumably lost due to the EMP from bombs. Like im from a small town and the only actual books i see anymore are either fiction, history, or school books and i think itd get worse in the near future the og lyctors are from. I just think it's Fun if The Necromancer's Marriage Season has more than one reason to be an ahistorical mess (i deeply believe gideon the first wrote these types of books for some reason)

GIDEON WROTE HISTORICAL NECROMANTIC ROMANCE. YES OKAY. I ACCEPT THIS!

I definitely think they lost a lot of cultural material but not all of it-- but probably could have saved more if John had made an immediate effort, but I think he was just... massively out of it and wandering the earth rolling around in radioactive fallout and eating people for a couple of years at the minimum.

(Also relatable! I'm in italy where everything is dubbed, and books when I was growing up "italianised" the names of foreign Important People - like the queen of England was Elisabetta not Elizabeth, and idk. Jules Verne was "Giulio Verne." This was especially notable with The Classics and ofc for children's books, I read so many books in translation that were by foreign authors and I had no idea :D)
