#theyd just make a human or smthn

[reikunrei]

it really honestly cracks me up that even when this idea of moral grayness is stated Explicitly on screen time and again, people still don’t take it to heart and actually apply it to all of the characters. yes, even our “big bad.” like, y’all didn’t realize that was the core theme of the show in season 1? and season 2? are you for real? “i’m the monster” “no you’re not. you saved me.” like that wasn’t clear enough for you? to see this little girl do bad things like kill people and call herself the monster right after doing something to help someone she just met? the fact that she opened this gate and let out this monster that killed and kidnapped people all across town and that is a Bad Thing, but she’s not a bad person for it? that wasn’t clear enough for you? and now they have to say it On Screen in the Fucking Script that there are no monsters and no superheroes, nothing is ever that black and white, and you’re STILL not??? listening??????? bye

I am not sure if I ever posted these publically here? But I have shown them a bunch of times before

I originally made these for fun and keeping in mind (YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP EVERY DESIGN YOU MAKE) and I was planning on either giving these away or trading them or smthn but I love them too much, so I'm keeping them

Now I'm just wondering if I name them Litwick and Spheal because Pokémon names already sound like Grumpus names or if I somewhat Grumpify the names or just reference it in their names

I dunno, but my Grumpus OC army is growing and I have too many unfinished concepts and I gotta stop worrying about backstories when I just enjoy character design and let myself finish all the designs I want and not hold myself back because when I do that I just waste time asdfsergr

I still love all my OCs and I usually really enjoy working on them, but also just making new ideas and designs is so much fun too and sometimes I worry too much like, bro, I'm doing this for me I shouldn't worry what anyone else thinks that a lot of my OCs are just designs (Though most my Grumpuses have at least some basic things going on or plans to be worked on, or I'm waiting before I get smthn else done)

and its just ahsgsrjgetkhbth

idk i dont consider a grumpus ocs "finished" or "official" till i have done a sticker for em afserg

EVEN IF I STILL WORK ON THEM OR SMTHN AFTER THAT WHICH I ALWAYS DO MY OCS ARE ALWAYS WIPS IN TERMS OF WAHT I WANNA ADD BUT SAHDFJERGVRKTRTH

ahahah character design fun

P: I must repeat to you all that this is incredibly dangerous. The only way to do this even relatively safely is when you have years of spiritual training and practice ingrained into your mind. Please, be careful in what you do. I will pass on the phone to Mystic Maya, as she is the Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique and will provide the most wisdom on the topic.

M: pearly seriously you dont have to talk like that just because theyre our “clients” like this is nicks ancestor-y family here we can be a little silly with them. nvm she left to talk about girls with trucy which alright i get it i get it. anyway lets get down to business yeah?

first thing you gotta figure out is that you all got energy inside you, even better is that youve all got spiritual energy woahhhh. that goes w the undead too jsyk like if they didnt have any spiritual energy they wouldnt have a spirit in the first place theyd just dissipate which sometimes happens and its spooky scary ! anyway back on topic

so all entities carry energy right? whatcha need to do is dampen that energy and what you need for that is something to ground it which is most likely real alive and breathing humans, the most grounded out there. also like pearly said there really is no safe way to do this without training and none of you have any so. im trying my best here to make it as safe as possible w the resources we have rn

okay next you need a magatama like you gotta make one and then imbue it with spiritual energy. magatamas were originally made from clay or talc or slate or quartz or jadelite way back when like back in the bce era. you can also use polished jadelite or jasper or agate too and jade is what we usually use nowadays but idk if you guys have access to that so im just giving you whatever works

find whatever you can find and make a magatama and im gonna be real its not going to be as effective as whatever we make but itll have to do alright? then you just gotta. like. put spiritual energy in it to make it work. usually impersonal spiritual energy would be the best like from a temple or smthn but i realize yall dont have that so heres where the really dangerous part begins

to make this work you probably should be in a silent room surrounded in darkness for maximum concentration. close your eyes and focus on your spiritual energy and the magatama (if you made it correctly) will be able to sense it and drain it. its gonna drain your energy which means without being a natural born spirit medium or without having intensive training this could already bring you knocking on deaths door dude, be super careful

anyway the magatama will be able to help attract spirits more so thisll help you in getting that maelstrom guy. also you should probably research on the kurain channeling technique beforehand to prepare for this bc youll have to follow the procdeures of channeling as if you were a medium yourself. but unlike normal mediums you wont be able to be fully unconscious and your spirit will still hang around your body instead of not being there like usual spirit mediums. this is probably what happened w the edgeworth-lookalike and the edgeworth-lookalikes brother since “possession” is usally just spirit channeling but done really really badly

okay so let me explain magatamas more. it basically serves as a passageway from the spirit to the body and dampens the entering spirits energy so that the body of the medium isnt harmed. with the maelstrom guy itll dampen his energy enough for it to be tempered but hell still be pretty dangerous considering of what ive seen him do

all thats left is the spirit severing technique so kinda like spirit channeling but in reverse. usually we would just use a magatama of parting but you dont have that so like the regular magatama will have to do

hold the magatama in your hands and focus. concentrate on severing or dampening the spirits energy until its gone to the afterlife or until its weak enough to be harmless. im not gonna joke here bc this could actually kill you.

if it didnt and youre still alive and kicking?? and the spirit is either gone or super weak??? congrats!!! you did it buckeroo!

im gonna be real and say that pearly is right. you really shouldnt do this if you value your life. but if you do idk man just dont die too soon ! ive grown attached to yall so dont make me regret it

The Kurain Channeling Technique... let me see if Miss Susato's written anything...

Okay. It says that only women can be spirit mediums, but it isn't a true channeling, and we already had the possession situation, so I think it will be fine if one of us does it.

I wouldn't like to ask Miss Susato to do something as dangerous as this, besides.

I will do it. This concerns me most of all, and I have the least to lose. I could not, in good conscience, ask this of any of you.

But wouldn't that make it more dangerous? He would try to hurt you more than he would us.

I agree with Mr Naruhodo. There is risk for all of us, but he could be easily motivated to overpower you. I'll do it.

whenever bubby was thrown back into the tube, either bc he was healing from an Experiment or just thrown in there as a punsihment, it was p common for some of the scientists to go out of their way to make bubbts confinement a lot Less awful than it had to be.

some would stick around after hours n kinda chat on and off with him, maybe theyd wheel in a tv so bubby had something to watch. maybe theyd attach a remote somewhere in the tube to control the tv or a radio or smthn. anything to keep him from losing his mind in there. he definitely appreciated it, not always vocalizing that considering he was either too mad to talk or Exhausted bc he was recovering frm a surgery.

sure, bubby wasnt exactly Liked at black mesa, considering how stand offish and rude he tended to be, AND most of the scientists at black mesa were somewhat morally bankrupt. but a lot of them did see bubby as a Human Being (slightly held up on a pedestal due to him being a scientific marvel) and definitely wanted black mesa to treat him better. some scientists, esp the ones that helped in his creation, do rlly like him and wanna see him happy!

its just that most of the scientists that fight against their superiors in regards to bubby deserving more Freedom kinda got. fired. so there wasnt rlly much that could be done.

♠: What sort of fashion do they prefer?

♧: What is their greatest personal struggle?

For ALL of them.

Gonna do this for everyone in aic

For Xenia honestly anything that makes her feel cute and feels nice to wear. She is down with the practical, well-made clothes that everyone wears but really tries to make them unique to her, either by making little alterations or embroidering patterns that have meaning to her. At home you'll find her most often in bright colored and breathable dresses. When traveling she wears pretty regular pants and a shirt with a cloak and face covering to protect from the wind and sun. Nothing special but they might have a little flower or smthn on them.

For Joshua, he's pretty down with the formal clothing at the palace. He likes the structure and process of putting it on, and how it looks, and the fact that you don't really have to worry about standing out. I think if given the choice he'd wear looser clothing that gives him more range of movement, something he grows to appreciate even more when he leaves the palace. I don't think he realized how tense it made him to be stuck in tighter clothing all day.

I wish I could give more description of what he wears in the palace but I haven't really thought it up fjdbhdhd.

Avery loves dresses. Usually they have to be practical and basic bc of her work. But she wears flowy fancy ones when she can. Also not sure what theyd look like for her 😩

Isamara wears a lot of layers and long flowing gowns. She is the empress after all. Perhaps something like this

Jayla also wears a lot of regal clothing, but the fashion in the southern kingdom has different I inspirations so hers would be more like this maybe

Ashka and Nathalia are just like. Spirits with sorta human forms so they just have very flowy forms with no particular style.

Greatest personal struggle:

Xenia: probably believing that other's love doesn't have to be earned and won't disappear once she stops being useful to them

Joshua: how do I pick one? Maybe facing discomfort and fear head-on and taking responsibility for himself rather than having other people take care of him

Avery: having to realize that someone can love you and not be good for you and sinking yourself into a relationship isnt a replacement for a personality. Bless

Isamara: Realizing how massively she bungled this one. More importantly, accepting and doing something about it.

Jayla: regrett!!! OHHH she struggles with regret

[thoughts-and-all-that]

why are you such a fucking bitch. fuck you with your fucking 'i dont give a fuck that you got rightfully mad that some teenage brat is calling your existence a joke so you called him a brat for, yknow, BEING A BRAT'. why the fuck do i always have to be the bigger person. im sick of being the bigger person.

im on my last strings with this group idefc man. if i get demoted or smthn like this happens one more time. i dont even care ill just leave. what the fuck is one more restart on my pile of dozens. these people are barely close to me anyway. not like theyll fucking care. and itll just end up being one more group of people who hate me in the end. not unusual.

im only really friends with like, one or two of them, but also not really. when was the last time we played a game together, VCd together, any of that? its been forever. i could join the vc anytime but theyre always playing shit idc about and talking about shit idc about. why cant i ever be what i care about. why not ask to play the game they know i love. even just for an hour or two.

i know im always forcing others to prove they care about me without me even telling them thats what im doing but like... they dont really prove it much. theyll hit me up if i go silent and then i come back and the cycle repeats

its always like this. why cant i just find the place where i truly connect with people and everything is just fine. why is it always something.

all i wanna fucking do is play minecraft and talk about whatever dorky kids show/movie im obsessing over this time. why is that so hard.

maybe its me, but like, im literally so fucking chill if people arent being stupid, but they get stupid so much.

at this point im fucking holding back from leaving that server. a year and a half down the drain just like that. its always a year and a half or less. i guess i just cant handle long term relationships.

my only real friend is a fucking stuffed animal. i think if i got one wish in this world, id be selfish and wish she were real. just the way i imagine her and everything. why should anyone else get my wish when all of them disappoint and hurt me time and time again. she would never hurt me.

maybe im just destined to be alone. too bad for that destiny that i desperately grasp onto what little connection i hold to humanity left.

maybe i do need to go to a mental hospital finally. ill give it a week before i make that choice. i need to at least get my new glasses in 6 days anyway.

i just feel my brain deteriorating and i cant do much about that i think.

ill just suffer like always.

i dont care if im being selfish. i think ive earned it after a lifetime of never getting what i want. what i truly want.

cause instead i was born into a family of people i wouldnt otherwise interact with ever, in a town full of people that never cared about me, especially not the way i tried to care about them, in a body thats not mine. in a life thats not mine.

i feel as if i were misplaced at birth. misplaced nonphysically. like i was meant to be somewhere else, somewhere right, and something went wrong. and the universe just never corrected itself. it left me here.

there wasnt a point to this post. im just sick of feeling all these things and having nowhere to say them. i cant let people i know hear me say shit like this. its not like theyd listen anyway.

i wish i wasnt broke so i could get a stupid fucking therapist already. i wish preventing myself from wanting to die and hate myself and hate the world wasnt so unaffordable.

anyway haha mental illness moment woahagagahshhhaoahah so funni wild wowza woooo
