#theyd spoil her so much i think

[almond-tofu-chan]

i want an au where Collei was adopted by Kaveh and Al Haitham instead of Cyno and Tighnari i think thatd just be so chaotic

[year2000electronics]

what do u think of relativity falls... o.o

I LOOOOVE IT especially with the 2024 resurgence, people are coming up with some REALLY fun variations on it!! a lot of swaps seem like theyd be set in stone, right, but just like how i think that gideon is better suited as a mabel equivalent in reverse falls, ive seen people have a LOT of fun justifying why they do certain swaps! like ive seen ones where abuela is the soos equivalent and others where lazy susan is, ones where candy is the fiddleford and ones where pacifica is the fiddleford its neat

i also noticed a lot of people are toying around with dipper and mabels role in the au and questioning just how much one twin would steal the other's identity, like what that entails- ive seen trans interpretations of it one way or both ways are all ways and I LOVE THEM ALL. ive even seen people make mabel the ford equivalent and IT MAKES SENSE SOMEHOW?! cant you just imagine a badass old lady travelling the multiverse? isnt it COOL??

idk whether i like mabel as the stan or mabel as the ford better though, because ive always had such a soft spot for zany grauntie mabel and her getting to bond with the stans its so cute.

heres an Old Dipper and Old Mabel just impromptu... dippy would have to look like a cross between indiana jones and a ghostbuster i know it

i do have to say, though, my current favourite new addition to relativity falls has to be with the fact that nobody really knew what to do with bill before, he was left mostly the same, but ive seen people saying that his parents would replace him in the story and OH MY GOD IM IN LOVE WITH THAT CONCEPT.

the idea of scalene and euclid being a tag-team of like, killer demons who have a touch of interdimensional baby fever so they keep trying to pseudo-parent the stan twins and spoiling them rotten while chastising dipper and mabel like terrible parents who spoil your grandkids. its kinda a crazy fun vibe

[moth-yea]

Okay this is kinda gonna be a bit of a rant and might not make any sense so sorry in advance but OH MY GOD I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE SEE TRISH AS NOTHING BUT A SPOILED TEEN!!!!!!

People say "she's a brat and demands so much from team Bucciarati" and "shes so rude to the gang" "shes a badly written character, all she ever does is talk about mineral water and shit" (yes, I've heard someone say that last one and believe themselves, they had also completely finished vento aureo when theyd said that)

Alright number one, yeah, at first even I thought she came off as a bit entitled and wasn't a fan of her. She annoyed me in the beginning a bit, but I didn't care. Why? SHES 15!!! She's legitimately a fifteen year old girl, what do you expect?? She was living a normal life (or as much of a normal life as she could) before all the shit with team Bucciarati, the entire structure of her life and everything that was normal to her up until that point was just ripped away because of a man she didn't even know.

Second, she does come off a bit rude in the beginning, but Abbachio is rude in a similar manner to the gang (expect bruno, not to mention he behaves the same way throughout the entire show) and you don't say anything????? That's probably just misogyny. Even if you do have a problem with her rudeness, she CHANGES. she changes, she ends up as a caring, determined, and most importantly LOYAL character. She opened up to Bruno, telling him that she's scared to meet her dad, that she's anxious and doesn't know what to do with herself. She's shown to care for Narancia during grateful dead's attack, using the ice provided to try and slow his againg process to be best of his abilities. She winds up joking with Mista later in the show, even If she'd previously shown disgust at being body-swapped with him, she got over it! She got over it and joked with him about it in the end, and they became closer. I could go on about all the times she's shown to be more than a mean and bratty teen, but these are just the examples I can think of off the top of my head.

Third, how, genuinely how, is Trish a "badly written" character? She's not flat, she's not a one-dimensional character, she has personality. There are many instances in which she's shown to be so much more than just the "mean girl" type of character. She's shown to have emotion. We've seen her scared and anxious, we've seen her happy and joyful, we've seen the determination she shows when she declares she wants to find out about her past, we've seen her be so much more than just a character who hides and needs to be protected or helped constantly. It's been shown straight to our faces, yet you blatantly deny it?? You don't try to understand her character at all??????

In conclusion, Trish Una is more than dudebro misogynistic jojo fans say she is. She is shown to be caring and have many other emotions several times, and I'm tired of people pretending we haven't. I love Trish, and I hope you do too.

Mr peabody literally deserves WAYYYY more than what he gets in the movie. Dont get me wrong, i love the “im a dog too” scene, and sherman was right (besides the “the only mistake is me”, BOY YOURE THE THING THAT MAKES HIM HAPPY, HE LOVES U SM SHUT UP), but they still treated him SO BAD.

First things first, all the bad things that happened in the movie was all PENNYS FAULT. She acted like a bitch at the start and then just like a spoiled brat right after. I can admit that she redeemed herself to a part in the final part of the movie, alright, but besides that FUCK PENNY. NEITHER HER OR HER PARENTS APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT SHE DID. (I actually dont hate her that much okay, i just hate what she did to all lf them).

Second thing is the whole plot of “independent sherman” shit. Like alright, hes seven, he can do a lot of stuff himself in that age. BUT PEABODY WAS RIGHT WITH PROTECTING HIM FROM STUFF. Like the airplane scene?? Peabody was right to be mad at sherman for trying to fly a plane that was ANCIENT, WAS A PROTOTYPE, and again SHERMAN AND PENNY WERE 7!! And let me tell you, i know its basically not shermans fault, its PENNYS FAULT AGAIN, and i can understand why he was upset that his father was upset with him but STILL. MR PEABODY WAS RIGHT.

Following to that, again. All the protecting shit was right. Sherman was a little kid and even tho hes smart, hes naive. AND SEVEN. And even if that wasnt playing a role, peabody was walking on thin ice. People wanted to take sherman away from him because “oh my god hes a dog he cant raise a boy”. And of course, irl it would be more difficult since i dont think theyd be that easy on mr. P, but ITS A MOVIE. A CARTOON. STOP BEING JUDGEMENTAL SHITHEADS. Hes a better father than some human fathers are istg.

And the last thing of course, basically the same thing as above. Some people were treating him so bad just because hes a dog. Like cmon, without him you wouldnt have world peace. (AND ZUMBA, WHO DOESNT LVOE ZUMBA??). Especially pennys parents. Or more like her father. Bettys nice, she actually talked her husband down from a lot of things. But like all peabody wanted was for penny and sherman to come home safely, but NOOO, everything went to shit and whose fault is that?? PEABODYS OF COURSE, because hes a dog and every mistake he makes is SO FATAL. Like cmon people, stop that. He just tried to fix all of it.

So in conclusion, i love mr peabody and sherman movie, and im IN LOVE WITH MR PEABODY. HES SO NICE AND HE DESERVES THE WHOLE WORLD.

travvster. i support your normscary so much. can u please talk about how they’d live together when they’re older i LOVE domestic hcs .

SORRY I GOT DISTRACTED im back hiii jasper and THANK YOU. NORMSCARY <3 i also love domestic hcs so this is doing something to my brain. waving my hands frantically. theyre so CUTE <3

i think normal and scary would be a pretty laidback couple, they wouldnt really have like regimented chores or anything, theyre more the type to clean as they go. normal definitely loves doing any task he even vaguely thinks scary needs done gbfgdfhjfhgjd they couldnt have assigned chores even if they wanted to because normal would just look at their chart and go. "hmmm. scary is on lawn mowing this week. scary had a bad day today though so i will mow the lawn for her <3" every single time. and then scary would get way into doing the chores for a few days to make up for it. normal does her chores for her as a thanks. rinse and repeat

when theyre both home, theyd definitely be clingy but like. quietly clingy. theyre not constantly talking to each other or anything, but theyre usually in the same room and the same space doing their own thing. if scary gets up and walks to another room, then normal picks up his stuff and follows. if normal gets up to go make dinner, then scary casually finds herself sitting at the kitchen island. they almost always go to bed at the same time and if one of them goes and isnt followed, then they are pouting at the other person when they finally turn in for the night. i also think theyd both struggle to sleep alone after the first year or so of living together, especially scary

i think normal would be like henry and mercedes in that he would want just like, several pets. and scary would love having "strange or creepy" pets, so i think they would like, start with rodents, but normal would get sad about how short their lifespans are. so then theyd start keeping snakes instead!! they wouldnt get too exotic, i think they would stick with beginner level snakes - im imagining a ball python? - but they both take the care of it Very Very Seriously. they originally plan on starting with one and getting more, but then they get super attached to their first snake. they both treat it like their child, it is so so spoiled, and sparrow and rebecca refer to it as their grandchild

as for actual kids, im a lil torn on if theyd end up having kids? on one hand, i feel like both of them would lean more towards like... we dont want to carry our family strife on further, we're happy with just us and our snake, we'll be fine. on the other hand, i think normal is family-orientated and that scary would really like the idea of taking in a troubled teenager and trying to turn their life around. so im waving my hands and going ehhh i dont think they would have kids as adults, but if they did, they would adopt an older kid/teenager :]

okay theres four paragraphs so i should stop but HKFJDHGJKDHJK I LIKE THEM SO MUCH. THANK U JASPER

[local-redhead-bookworm]

hi! im sorry but i have such mcgillis almiria siblings in a nice world brainworms. and nobody else in this tiny little circle GETS IT! so pardon this stranger for screaming. i would love more of your thoughts on this as well :3

like yk gaelio is a sweetie and loves her dearly but he's also a little shit who bullies her like carta bullies him. but mcgillis would always be so respectful and kind and gentle with her (like he is anyway!!). he'd spoil her like crazy. give her a sweet tooth etc etc

and thinking how theyd actually get to love each other as sibs! she'd have been raised with him as her brother, not as someone she got forcibly engaged to at five!!! like how sweet would they be if they could have had a normal, non-political/royal life. i want them to just like. hang out. (feat. gaelio pouting bc he swears his best brother status is being yoinked)

almiria deserves two brothers (and a sister) to dote on her and love her and mcgillis deserves all the love from them, even though izn*rio would be an ok parent in this nice . extremely far from the truth world

Please don’t apologize, I’d love to listen to you scream about them! I’ve been thinking about what good siblings they could have been in another life too because canon makes me sad. Almiria and McGillis are two extremely important facets to IBO’s overall commentary on the exploitation of children, and they and the place their dynamic has in that commentary doesn’t get nearly enough attention. But that’s a whole other post! Happy thoughts:

Gaelio definitely affectionately bullies Almiria, but I feel like she’s the sibling that everyone gets along with. She’s the baby, and she’s so sweet, they all can’t help but love her. I feel like she’s also down for all kinds of chaos though. Climbing trees with Carta, playing pranks with Gaelio, just reading with McGillis, she’s down for any of it! She also definitely forces them all to participate in play tea parties. Also I don’t know why, but I feel like she’d wind up reading a lot of plays and would rope the others into acting those plays out with her.

I spend too much time thinking about them getting to just do silly sibling things. He’s definitely the one Almiria goes to if she’s being affectionately bullied by Gaelio or if she’s having problems with others not taking her seriously, and I also feel like he’d be her favorite to talk to. She’d have the philosophical questions you only get from a kid her age and McGillis would just answer completely seriously. I think he’d be a very introverted kid, also the most level-headed and practical about things. But if they can rope him into plotting a prank, it’s going to be THE most well-planned prank in history.

Almiria is such a lovely character and she didn’t deserve all that trauma, and I genuinely think that if McGillis had been able to accept their love, it would have saved him. In my version of the happy AU, either McGillis is just adopted by the Bauduins, or Iznario is actually a good person who took one look at the traumatized blond child, adopted said kid, and proceeded to be the best father ever. Newly adopted McGillis is like a feral cat learning to accept all this affection, but once he knows he’s safe and loved, he thrives.

[pansy-picnics]

I need more next gen. I am starving. Pls. What are UD/varigo like with their niblings. Is Eugene the fun uncle. Who had a hero crush on Hugo. Stuff like that.

IVE BEEN MEANING TO DO SOME CONTENT OF THIS FOR A WHILE HEHEHE THANK U….. i’ve been collecting sketches for this for a while so it’s gonna be a long one

emery loves their aunties and uncle and rapunzel and her partners all spoil them to DEATH its so fucking cute

they’re very into botanical and herbal sciences, so she does a lot more hands-on and in the moment studies than varian and hugo, who usually stay cooped up in their lab most of the day. rapunzel especially loves going out with her on hikes or nature walks whenever her dads are busy, and they do field journals and stuff…. sometimes others will join them on their little trips but for the most part it’s just something the two of them do together. they garden a lot too, obviously, and raps listens to her infodump for hours on end

em also absolutely ADORES her aunt cassie, as she has dubbed her (it definitely got varian a few death glares at first, but he swears up and down he didn’t teach her anything). she loves hearing all the stories about her adventures and is especially fascinated by her cartography. cass also loves to collect weird things, like feathers, funny looking rocks or crystals, animal/fish bones, reptile skins or wings of insects, various things from deceased creatures she’s come across on her travels. emery finds this stuff incredibly cool, since they love animals

whenever cassandra travels out of corona for a bit she brings home lots of flowers and herbs and things for them to study, along with plenty of pretty trinkets and baubles for both them and the twins <3

that’s jusr like one of her love languages she’s like a crow. just gives people shiny rocks and sticks she found, and sometimes jewels/little hairclips/rings/generally very fancy things she definitely stole. sometimes nobody knows what to do with them but they keep them because they love her

eugene is absolutely the fun uncle but like, only when yong’s not around bc he easily solos eugene any day. no hard feelings it just is what it is

but yeah eugene always does the best storytime voices, especially with the flynn rider books bc hes been doin this for YEARS hes got DECADES of experience bro. sometimes the kids encourage him to act out the scenes in which he tries his best but fails miserably while lamenting about his old man bones

rapunzel and cassandra both laugh at him and sometimes will try to pick up where he left off

and, speaking of flynn, with another kid in the castle eugene finally gets another chance to play his favorite game: how long can i have this child convinced that i am the REAL flynn rider in the flesh

the answer is quite a while and it will eventually lead a very pissed off alchemist to storm into your room ready to beat the shit out of you

eugene definitely helps them get away with shit especially considering he’s trying to get revenge on the years varian and hugo spent being menaces to the twins. it is actually CRUCIAL that hugo and varian stay childless for a good 5-7 years after the twins are born because they get that long to be Goofy Ass Uncles and nothing more

no bc theyd literally be the worst most irresponsible mfs imaginable bc they’re both fucking around the whole time trying to impress the kids but they start getting rlly overly competitive about who they like more and fighting about it while the twins are just along for the ride

so. they DO still end up being the favorite uncles just. not for the reasons they think

they’d be like, showing the kids all sorts of projects they have around the lab but theyre just so much more hyperfocused on one upping each other- varian would do tons of interactive experiments so they can get involved and be hands on with everything. it’s just simple stuff obviously, baby science

but hugo on the other hand is more keen to giving them eye candy. fancy machines with cool lights and noises and the like. he does this with kids in town already, they always know him by name and like to play with olivia so he knows how to get the attention of children, but varian thinks it’s cheating so they get into a really stupid argument about it

varian: HAHAHA hugh you’re KIDDING right. that’s nothing they dont even know what’s going on its just a big machine that makes fancy lights and noises

hugo: ??? ok but that’s all you really need isn’t it?? it’s not like kids are all that hard to impress. plus you cant get on my case when yours is just some vial that changes color. you can at LEAST give them something cooler than that

varian: ??? HUGO I CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH THEYRE LIKE FOUR😭 at least MINE is educational. it teaches them about alchemy while helping them develop critical thinking and motor skills

hugo: oh my gods var it’s not that deep😑 like work smarter not harder you know what i mean?? it’s not like they’re our kids we don’t have to worry about that stuff

varian: IT’S NOT EVEN ABOUT THAT THOUGH it’s about captivation and keeping their attention. kids have really short attention spans, fancy gadgets may look cool but they’ll get boring in like five seconds. if you get them involved with the process and allow them to understand the craft they’ll be WAY more interested and-

varian goes into a rant before hugo cuts him off being all “ok fine well if you’re so confident lets ask what THEY think” and varians like “FINE” and so hugo turns around in a huff and realizes both the toddlers are Gone.

and he’s just “,,,,,hey um. hey var. love….where did the twins go” and varian whips his head around like “YOU FUCKING LOST THEM????”

so obviously they both freak the fuck out and are scouring the entire lab making sure they arent off drinking some dangerous chemicals or some shit but like, both of them are smart as fuck so it turns out they just walked off in the middle of their argument and went to go steal sweets from the kitchen. cass, raps, and eugene all chew them out for it later. they get more responsible when emery comes along but like….yk not that much AUDJSJDHDSNS

on the topic of stupid uncles, i should mention that though they love all of them dearly…lance is kind of the favorite like 90% of the time

cuz see eugene along with hugo still continue to be a bit overprotective and paranoid with the kids at times. varian is usually very laid back but when emery hits her teen years he starts to worry a lot more, while hugo mellows out considering that’s where vars own life went downhill LMAO. if there’s anyone who will indulge them and let them get away with ANYTHING it’s lance.

there’s such a blatant and vast difference between your first time parents who are always overthinking everything and worrying about whether they’re good parents or not and your cool, unmarried uncle who already adopted and raised two teenage kids in his 20s, is in the prime of his life and doesn’t technically have to take responsibility for you at all

granted though, the twins have had everyone wrapped around their little fingers since their birth

immediately after the twins were born, everyone in the castle (and even those who weren’t) all collectively pitched in to help as much as they possibly could. especially considering rapunzel struggled a lot mentally in the first few months of her kids’ life, the whole family was very determined to make the time as stress-free as their abilities would allow

one thing they found out quickly was that the twins absolutely adored varian. which obviously confused the alchemist and left him feeling quite helpless considering 1. kids hardly ever liked him (he usually got bullied by them) and 2. because of this he. didn’t really know what to do with kids. ryder once fell asleep in his arms and he lowkey panicked bc he had NO idea what he was supposed to do

when the anxious new parents were finally able to let people be alone with the babies, varian ended up being a pretty regular sitter. to the point where he would have little baby slings in case he needed to hold them while he was working on small projects or something. people would even frequently assume they were his and he eventually got tired of explaining they were actually his niblings so he just let people think whatever

before theyre born hugo jokes around like “lmaooo i dont even like kids” but he’s lying thru his fucking TEETH. hed die for them.

also alina thinks hugo is SO fucking cool (obviously considering he cut her hair based off of his) but also em admires hugo more than either of the twins could ever possibly comprehend. i havent drawn it enough since most of what i’ve drawn of them is them bullying each other but thats just their love language of course emery picked up on it. past the age of like 10 emery would rather die than admit how much she looks up to her father but hugo Knows <3

its not to say em doesnt admire varian, because she loves both her dads equally!!! but because hugo also came from an orphaned past being with him made emery feel a lot more safe and understood during her first few years at the castle. hugo knew what it was like to suddenly go from having nothing to having Everything and he knew it could be really stressful, especially for a little kid….having someone who understood that was really comforting to emery.

because of this though hugo tended to be the paranoid mother hen type, especially compared to varian who was a LOT more laid back and wanted to give them the freedom to trust their own judgement and make mistakes. it was tough to balance these styles at first but emery genuinely loved them both, even if hugo’s fussiness was a bit annoying sometimes

in fact the reason emery dubbed hugo “mama” in the first few months was not because they could sense his massive amounts of Gender (well like, partially, but it was about a month or so after that before the ‘are you a boy or a girl?’ question finally came up), but instead because hugo’s constant doting on her reminded them of their birth mother

varian and hugo dont know much about emery’s birth family or what happened to them, considering she doesn’t say much in her younger years and eventually forgets most of what she didn’t; but she seems to have cared a lot about her birth mother, and frequently still misses her presence.

whenever those waves of emotion are too much for her to bear, hugo is there to comfort her- and he assures her that despite never even meeting them, he still misses his birth family, too, but that it will get easier, and no matter what, she’ll always have people who love and support her

anyways thats all i have rn *opens my head and puts my brain back in it like the little frankenstien dude from nightmare before christmas* idk when ill have more content of them but the next time i do it’ll probably be that drawing with rapunzel kissing both her partners on the lips and both of them being so romantically in love with her /hj

[dayurno]

if kandreil were cats what would they look & act like. coat color... fur length... other details...

YES THANK YOU IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE ......... im a researcher i have studied this field im definitely well prepared for such a question. no i have not read warrior cats

starting with andrew i think. and this is very specific. but i think hed be specifically my cat nani, who is gray with short & soft fur and an absolutely awful person even if a feline. i think it also doesnt help andrews case that nani has some sort of nanism (ha) and so his legs are very very short, on top of him being very moody and antisocial towards other cats (re: my other kitten who likes nani so much).... plus nani has the evil kitty stare i think andrew would really have down to a t... even just looking at nani you absolutely know hes mean. nani easily creature of all time ! have some pics. the only difference i think is that andrew would def be a bigger cat with longer fur

NEIL IS UM. ALSO A NO BRAINER....... obviously he is a silly little orange kitten. hes a street cat whereas andrew and kevin are house cats (andrew tries to escape every time the door opens but kevin is a spoiled little prince in his fortress) and i think hes the fweep to andrews fwomp really, very athletic and slender..... so agile too ! maybe he has that smokers cough meow old cats have..... crunchy friend.... i think hed have a little nip on his ear :) and hes very friendly but also skittish..... basically hes the cat you pet in an alley once and never see again but always think fondly of

AND KEVIN WELL. you knoooooooow hes a really beautiful expensive looking black kitty with the really big green eyes.... hes the little prince of his household he is so spoiled..... i think hed be a shelter kitty who was declawed before (which is an awful and cruel thing to do to a cat ! dont declaw your kitties) but now lives a life of luxury.... also because hes a black cat he is liquid and can be any shape which is very good for when he wants to hide (i.e: moody tantrums), but hes also really loud and meows a lot so you cant really lose him... lend the little guy your ear

basically hes kevin from the cat paintings vanessa stockard does. his name is literally kevin its IMPOSSIBLE to deny this. hes the physical definition of a scaredy cat also, very very very skittish ! do not spook

sorry you asked for a normal reply and i gave you a whole catverse. I JUST THINK THEYD BE REALLY CUTE KITTIES............. kevin was adopted by wymack and is now the little prince of the household, andrew is betsys begrudging foster kitty who refused to leave her house so she just adopted him, and neil is a street kitty who keeps visiting both of the other twos houses :) eventually wymack adopts him too dont worry about it

[sick-ada]

OKAY SECOND PART (I HIT THE CHARACTER LIMIT I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A LIMIT ON TUMBLR

again, big long text under the readmore

we were on proto werent we yeah

proto gets along with CB and Bubbles a lot better than with Flora, since cb and bubbles actually follow their orders and plans, even before theyre promoted to captain. flora obeys them even less after theyre promoted, for the record

this is very obviously because theyre traumatised child soldiers who were conditioned by both the octarian military and the metro where you explode if you dont follow instructions, but proto manages to delude themselves into thinking it's bc the twins respect their leadership

the twins completely stop obeying them after splatoon 3. granted, they leave the NSS after splat3, but by that point flora and bola have managed to get them out of the "you gotta obey authority figures Or Else" mentality

also because uh. the twins got the rest of their mem cakes back LMAO they remember what proto and the squid sisters set in motion and are NOT happy. theyd be willing to forgive if they had apologised rather than hiding it and hoping the twins wouldnt find out but they didnt sooooo

bola HATES proto so goddamn much. theyve met in person maybe thrice. the first time was when octo expansion had just finished and the way proto was talking to these kids bola's age like they were soldiers rubbed them the wrong way. the second time, proto came across bola while they were stealing something and called the cops on them. the third time was when they came back from alterna and visited flora in the hospital. bola had to be physically restrained to stop them trying to bite out protos jugular. they got one good sucker-punch in at least

NEXT IS PLUTO (THEY/THEM, NEO 3) BUT I'M NOT SUPER CERTAIN ABOUT THESE HEADCANONS SO THEYRE SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Pluto's "Lil' Buddy" is a Horrorboros called Leviathan's Flight over Verdant Pastures (she/her), or levi for short

(idk if that salmonid name makes sense, salmonid naming and rainworld iterator naming have blended together in my mind and i cannot separate them)

theyre actually older than proto! proto is 24 in splat3 and pluto is 27. proto doesnt know this because i think it should be a recurring character flaw that proto just randomly assumes people's ages and doesnt ask ever.

pluto straight up doesn't care about the NSS or proto's commands. they came down into the crater to scavenge, attacked octavio cause they wanted to tear apart and sell his mech, and is basically motivated by the same "i want the treasure" mindset as Deep Cut

unlike deep cut, they have a horrorboros as a partner. they dont fight deep cut so much as they launch booyah bombs until they yield

it's splatlands culture to fight people, shows that you respect them enough to consider them a threat, but also asserts that you're stronger than them and could kick their ass

they are Very offended when the NSS just start USING the treasure that THEY earned, especially when it gets so damaged by the fuzzy ooze that it's basically unsaleable. theres a dramatic moment of proto being like "why the hell are you mad we literally got this to save gramps" and pluto being like "WE??? kid you didnt do shit and i dont care about your grandpa. fuck off and let me do my thing"

the fight with grizz is VERY fast. if smallfry gets that big, what do you think happens to a horrorboros? the moon is permanently coated in salmonid-ink in a suspiciously booyah bomb shaped pattern. they take all the most valuable bits of the rocket to sell and dont even go back down to alterna

as far as they're concerned, they were never a member of the NSS, never wanted to be, and owe nothing to these presumptious assholes. theyve got better things to do than argue with some spoiled inkopolis kids

in this version of canon, deep cut respect pluto and levi (the ones who showed respect by fighting them for the treasure) over the NSS (the ones who stole the treasure for their own purposes without fighting or even issuing a challenge), so they decide that pluto and levi are their bosses instead

pluto groans when they find out. levi thinks it's hilarious

oh yeah i need actual context for pluto and levi not just redescribing the splat3 campaign

theyre both rogues, deliberately unaffiliated with any groups (shoals? schools?) of salmonids or any particular inkfish city. they were raised together with salmonids but levi didnt see any particular honour or value in getting killed and eaten so pluto suggested running away together

they make a living by scavenging in the splatlands and selling to people on the outskirts of splatsville which, in this canon, is a hell of a lot more chaotic than in-game

deep cut also have a lot more actual authority than "the idol group who announces the map changes" in this canon, which pluto is not above using to get them and levi unrestricted access in and out of the city. having minions has some benefits, they guess

idk if theyre ever gonna meet the leftovers squad. i honestly dont know if pluto would care about a random group of inkopolis teens unless i made some plot reason for them to. idk

ANYWAY THATS ALL OF THEM. FOR NOW

“should i MC whenever i feel like it? just call and ask if i can MC for the day? my dad is shaking his head no”

papa kim: you should rest

she became the poutiest girl

“fine. i will. MIDZY, you see how i’m a good daughter? i listen nicely even though i don’t want to”

comment: what do you want to do this year?

“i want to go on a vacation with the members. i don’t think we’ve ever gone on a real vacation together. we’ve only gone when filming content so i want to go somewhere with them. even if it’s just camping, i think that would be very fun”

after talking with fans and discussing if mint choco was nice (it wasnt) it was time to end the live

“omo! It’s already been fifty minutes. i’m going to go now so my dad can teach me how to change my tire because it looks like the sun is about to start setting. bye, MIDZY. i’ll see you next time!”

gonna be a long ahh post

ill try to see if theres anything strange for all of them but i dont remember all alibis n circumstances etc im using the red truths + question arc tip screen oki thats all i have Well i have my liveblogs too but that doesnt seem useful. first ep didnt have red truths yet but im quite sure it had to have been natsuhi or maria so

this was natsuhi + krauss + eva + hideyoshi + rudolf + kyrie

rosas definitely weird in ep2 i very vividly recall her BEING in that chapel too but i could be misremembering that part. though beatrice was there

this whole ordeal was a little strange i wish i remembered who exactly witnessed her bcs i feel like it wasnt just natsuhi n servants... Kyrie definitely saw her yes? I dont know what to make of it. What a cute outfit though shes so cute

also these mentions on shannon n kanon ep2 descs Awh

kanons key or servant involvement seeing as none of the others were first 6

kanon n jessica couldve killed each other Why? Who knows But someone carried kanons body out

"no one is hiding (regarding jessicas room)" STop i wouldve said that too im just like him i cant diss his abilities anymore.

Oh but also "kanon was killed in this room" =/= "kanon was killed in this room at that time" Im thinking about the scene where he "reappears" again i think its been said theres no disguise stuff so maybe

am i confusing the scenes because "theres no corpse" What happened in the doctors room???? when they saw him come back and bury his fingers to that wound i wouldve said he mightve died at that moment but then whats with the corpse. Girl

i miss her so much shes so funny "You are incompetent" in red is crazy

Beato:(.......

rosa had the keys yeahhhhhh i dont exactly remember Why i thought she was weird at the time but it was probably her. She was running around w the rifle too Well thats all for ep2 anyway

wtf even was charumi3 that was evas time to shine yes

Its definitely dead

None of the six committed suicide! hmm the weird linked one i remember it Though. Isnt "The six died instantly" incorrect in kinzos case if he was already dead... Since its a separate statement it doesnt have to refer to those six yes?? So maybe one of them besides kinzo didnt die instantly... Like battler suggested w a chain murder or one person going around to make up the chained rooms

Then theyd have a key too... girl i dont remember what eva was doing at this time also

at that point eva was supposedly in her room w a headache while witch eva was killing them so yeah doesnt look great for eva That servant things still possible too + rosa might as well have killed maria though idk who killed rosa in that case

eva did not kill hideyoshi... servant thing still strong and also wtf was kyrie thinking here anyway might as well blame her n then say eva killed kyrie but i forgor where eva was here again oopsie

"No life forms other than humans have any connection to this game" seems like a witch denying phrase but ok i guess its not a life form then

Lol. Once again kinzo thing makes this not matter... Though there go all my servants dawg maybe that was only for first twilight then

that is worrying. Do you think kanon n shannons names being pseudonyms affects the red truth. "shannon is dead" What if shannon is the idea of her servitude to the family and she threw it away for some reason and that way theres a Sayo who is killing people and doesnt really break the truths "shannon is dead" OR "there are no more than 18 humans on this island" All that goes for kanon too im just pretending that i didnt spoil myself his real name haha. Well kanon even more so since they made him appear and all but that couldve been jessicas delusion too...

she used to have so much fun that beato...

also even if eva was confirmed to not be involved in nanjos death that doesnt negate she couldve done well.everything else heart

thought about "Because of your sin, people die." a lot yesterday... The part about it not being about or with beatrice is of course very confusing and weird But yeah i cant even guess except apparently hes the reason the game exists? Or at least the reason it goes on or more specifically "cause of the eternal torture between us"

I dont understand how it could be about anything else BUT beatrice but ok. Maybe he was mean to maria like ange. But maria was literally 3 years old at that point... I guess he left the family 6 years ago but im having a terrible time trying to understand whats wrong with that really I guess asumu isnt blood related to him afterall but it cant be this great big sin beefing with rudolf u know. Id think his comebacks the reason the cerenomy was seen fit to be carried out (thinking about the amount of people) but angie wouldve normally been there instead of him anyway so the amount of people is the same and its over 14 anyway (13 sacrifices + whoevers imitating the epitaph) so i dont really understand blinks

i like when he goes Ah ngagh nnnghhh aaghh...!!! this vn loves to make people roar also They do it all the time. battler n beato do it the most but eva and many others always roaring too

also??? according to the wiki they didnt use red truth at all in ep3 until this point thats crazy i guess beato really WAS more careful about it

oh ange i miss u

i cant even tell what the first ones about theres no game record in ep4 tips how annoying <- doesnt remember at all what happened. Well ange was there uhh.

nvm its definitely about this one. I seriously remember nothing there was so much ange ange ange it was all eyes on ange.... I might reread my liveblogs

OH YEAH it was ppl supposedly witnessing kinzo killing everyone. Although uh "all ... acknowledged the presence of kinzo" Thats very different from "kinzo was there n killed everyone"... It couldve been in spirit or even if his corpse was there. Also last ones crazy u can just change that well i guess they were counting a corpse then

thats crazy confusing combined with knoxs rule about no accidents... what is left...

STOP. THERE GO BOTH OF MY SUSPECTS STOP IT

none of these negate kanon n rosa culprit yeah?

omfg wtf theres an image limit let me do the rest in another post

[wulvert]

more lore questions for u,,,same as before pls feel free to add more or avoid answering if u dont wanna spoil something/would rather it be shown in the comic!! i dont personally care about spoilers/implications but this is UR awesome media!! its completely up to u :]

do vampires naturally run colder since their heart beats slower, or are they still a normal human body temperature?

how much do vampires hunters actually know about vampire lore besides what it takes to kill/weaken/hurt them? are they mostly clueless?

is it public knowledge vampires and other creatures like trisha exist, or does the average person have no idea theres ghouls and beasties out there?

besides the bloodlust, would vampires suffer any similar symptoms to anemia when they're haven't drank, since it would mean they have a low rbc count? or would any symptoms besides bloodlust be more similar to human starvation? maybe a mix of both?

is it possible for vampires to drink non-human/non-vampiric blood, like animal blood? if it is, would most vampires just find it too small/distasteful a portion for it to be worth it? also, does this mean animals would be targeted as well when a vampire's in a bloodlust frenzy?

is,,,scarlet a vampire hunter?? ex-vampire-hunter??? i assumed she was since kelly recognized her and she seems knowledgeable about it, and tracked avery down, but its also rly funny to imagine she isn't and everyone at the bbq just going "strange! this woman isn't a hunter how'd she get here! well anyways. we'll make an exception bc she looks very polite and avery's finally introducing us to a friend (🏳️‍🌈🤨❓️). good for her!"

also not really a question but. ur lore implies avery was maybe just. blacked out laying in her own blood for at maximum a week before anyone went looking for her and its so. in character for her wet and patheticness,,,i love the unseen details in ur writing!!

hello!! I think it shouldnt be too spoilerly, heres the lore....

vampires are very cold, & its uncomfortable for them, so they end up sleeping next to radiators & heat vents like cats- blankets dont make them warmer either cause theres no body heat to trap under, they just insulate their coldness.

averys more knowledgeable about vampires than other vampire hunters just bc of her upbringing ( i think i mentioned it before? her entire huge family are all vampire hunters & shes been raised into it ), I think the average vampire hunter knows the basics, like stake silver sun crucifix, but I think they probably figure vampires are more zombie like than they actually are, scarlet was probably pretty disturbed to realise she's still herself now that shes a vampire, but avery already knew that's how it works- even if shes decided she can just say no to bloodlust, thats just her being her despite knowing better ( yes scarlet is also a vampire hunter ahah but shes found a loophole & doesnt hunt vampires anymore, but still gets paid for it :)

Vampires, werewolves etc. arent a secret but they arent thought about very much! theyre thought of being a lot more rare than they actually are

when vampires r hungry their veins hurt and they cant think about much other than blood. as for anemia their hands and feet cant get much colder but they can go kind of grey if starving 4 a extended period of time, and overall extremely pale. avery has no blood left right now which is why shes like. grey (people ask why scarlet doesnt look as dead as avery, its cuz she drinks blood regularly & also wears makeup) no fatigue though, i think they get very agitated.

vampires cannot drink non human/vampire blood, itd have the same effect as orange juice but like itd be gross bc its animal blood and it wouldnt taste good to them and theyd still feel sick 0 pros all cons :(

yea avery was lying in her pool of blood for a week 😔 kelly probably called her like 4 days in but didnt think much about it bc shes aloof and offputting 90% of the time anyway so it made sense for her to disappear for a bit... nobody else cared though

[mintys-musings]

i need more of ur anzu x idol rambles PLZ theyre so good if i cld inject it to my brain i wld do so /pos

*cracks knuckles* how much time do we have? I could do this all damn day t b h.

okay here's a random thing i love about anzu- not entirely related to this but still: EVERYONE KNOWS CANONICALLY HOW DAMN THIRSTY SHE IS TO SEE GUYS WHO ARE BARELY CLOTHED WITH MUSCLES. slight spoilers for madara's fs1 story will be in the tags so tread lightly if you wanna experience that yourself. just- she has a clear type in men. at least as far as physicality goes.

and for women??? SUZU. ARASHI. SHE LOVES HEADSTRONG WOMEN WHO TAKE NO SHIT.

ANYWAY SHIPS

This is gonna get long so im putting it under cut- im doing this right before i go to bed bc my brain will not rest until i get this out of my system

Okay. I know which ships I'll end up rambling about on my own. So lemme highlight ones that i may not talk about as much but love still. idk if u wanted to hear horny rambles or not so im just throwing in first time stuff as flavour.

MakoAnzu

MAKOTO AND ANZU ARE THE CUTEST. EPIC GAMER LOSER BF AND GIRLBOSS/GIRLFAIL GF COMBO. idk if it makes sense but they're like. hs sweethearts that never actually got together in hs and only realized it later when they reconnect or something that they're so totally in love. also he's just so damn goofy it balances out her more serious side that took over after her failed rebellion attempt at kimisaki. like he'd start calling her his favourite trouble maker if he heard that story. OOOOUUU MAYBE HE'D EVEN START CALLING HER ANGIE AND SHE NEARLY CRIES BC NO ONE CALLS HER THAT ANYMORE BESIDES HER BROTHER. idk they're sweet.

the first time they do it together, they're both so awkward that it's funny but they're so comfy with each other that it isn't a problem. in my mind, mako tries to lead at first but when it gets too hot and heavy, anzu takes charge. they seem like the most realistic couple out there with the least amount of angst~

JunAnzu

okay now to talk about Makoto's gaming buddy with her instead HFDSF. i feel like this anzu ship is a lil underrated. i personally love it. he has canonically given in to her like 🥺 face. they're relationship is basically jun teasing her and anzu pouting until he feels bad and it's cute. moon and sun vibe. also. jun is in eden/eve. he has money he's not spendin on himself. he may not give the most lavish gifts or even the most gifts in terms of anzu ships, but he does buy her little trinkets and stuff. more often than not though he's just paying for her meals. even with gatekeeper cash and the anzu fund made in the graduation story, he's not letting her spend a cent if she doesn't have to. if questioned he'd just be like "Haaah? Ain't it rude to make the lady pay?" but in reality he just wants to spoil her. the entirety of trickstar is gonna start questioning her though if they notice they're getting close. And i bet ibara is going to investigate why half of eve is meddling with the competition's producer.

their first time is spontaneous. they never talked before hand about it or whatever. it probably was them destressing from a hard day at work. PERSONALLY- i think they did it in the ES gym~ and god anzu was so scared theyd get caught. BOTH of them know Ibara goes down to the gym after work but luckily a meeting ran long or something because by the time they were done and dressed, they could just pass it off as training when ibara walked in.

HiMEAnzu

okay this is definitely a rare one- but a ship ive grown fond of the more i thought about it. meru and anzu are both work oriented, but still a little silly deep down. so when they relax and get to know each other, they find the others presence so calming. he admires her for her work ethic and she does the same. god im pulling out the first idol story interactions with this one as well- he let his guard down near completely when they first meet. and he says something like "like attracts like" or something like they're kindred spirits and that he's fallen for her. that last part was probs just his attempt at joking fanservice, but he is aware that he could easily pull anyone he wants to. for anzu to just talk normally with him, he thinks it's refreshing and honestly- being in a unit like crazyb, he would want someone calm like her to be around.

here's the big catch though: meru would never risk kaname's idol image by dating ANYONE. let alone the person known as "everyones producer." so this ship is BUILT for "at arms length" pining/"we'll never know what could've been" angst

their first time is the most planned out of all three of these ships. not on anzu's side, but himerus. meru is really meticulous with his image and he respects anzu. so if he's going to do something with her, he's going to do it right and make sure they have the most privacy possible. it's def something that happens after a VERY romantic date. possibly an anniversary. he gets incredibly intimate. maybe he'd even start talking in first person. this is, after all, not a performance for anyone. he just wants to share this moment with anzu. that being said they go on for a long ass time because meru has stamina and anzu can get insatiable if teased long enough.

not the original Gasly-Leclerc Christmas anon but oh god CHRISTMAS WITH KIDS!!! (thank you op for your beautiful brain)

Odette demanding all presents under the tree are hers and hers only (because it was that way for so long) but then the twins get sad and she switches to the big sis mode (TM) and hands them the smallest boxes because she is a good sister but she still rules the house 👑

Charles and Pierre just look at each other and blame the other for Odette's behaviour

"you spoiled her rotten, calamar" "me? I am not the one who couldn't say no to her at every store, cheri"

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP!!!!! you're so CORRECT my most beloved

odette does get sooooo so so spoiled when she's the only child the first few years for SURE. the little christmas queen of the house, THEE center of attention for pascale and pascale, she really does get to thinking it's all for her. december hits and pierre and charles are both out separately on different errands taking her places and they buy her....so much....and are such terrible communicators that they buy her like. way more than the allotted amount theyd agreed to (to prevent spoiling, in theory, but in practice it's just because they're both atrocious at gift wrapping and lazy) SO SHE GETS SOOOO MUCH. on christmas day she wakes pierre and charles up by belly-flopping on the bed between them and screaming at the top of her lungs that SANTA CAME!!!! they exchange exhausted glances (SOMEONE lost a present under the bed and they spent an absurd amount of time late into the night scrambling for it so they have everything under the tree by morning) and fall asleep on each other by like. 11am bc odette is happily playing w her new dolls and they're just wiped af.

but when the twins come around, they get their shit together much more, which means o benefits SO much less from it. she's a wonderful big sister BUT WHY IS THE ATTENTION NOT ALL ON HER!!!! she's totally the one who gives out the gifts too once she's old enough to be able to read their names. and she goes "ughhh papa this is for YOU" as she disgruntledly slides over charles' (very expensive!?!!) gift to pierre across the living room floor. she only cries about presents the first year she's no longer The Only One but you're so right that she becomes full Big Sister mode and learns that she should share w her lil bro & sis <3 So Generous, Queen!!!

(pierre and charles pull her aside that night and thank her for being such a good girl, and that santa loves her just as much as he loves her siblings, and that they are very proud of how good a job she did sharing and being nice. then when she toddles off to bed they're like oh my god we created monsters)

officially reached the part of zestiria where things have begun to minute-to-minute Make No Sense. there remains an overarching feeling of intrigue; I continually wonder what Big Facts will later be revealed + how much sense they will force all these Smaller Nonsense Moments to make.

Interesting (!):

the latest No-Sense Event (after the wind trial. have any of you guys played this game? you should play it; i'm not spoiling shit.) put forth a Very Specific Themes Concept that the game hasn't really gotten into at all until now! DOES it immediately strike me as something that's gonna boil down to the perennial Tales favorite "if you exist you have the right to live your life"? ya. WILL it execute this with anywhere near the clarity of purpose of abyss, or with as much nuance as berseria? ABSOLUTELY NOT, I DON'T THINK.

there's a recurring Thing with this game, where. especially having played berseria already! it's STUNNINGLY clear that the Stage of the Writing Process they made it to for zestiria's story is, like. "alpha edits," pretty much. they gathered up all the Themes Characters and Facts they wanted to use and they dumped them on a big table and kinda organized them loosely into like, "here's what the story is pretty much like." + then after that they SUPER ran out of time.

the moment-to-moment character writing (which can be done at like a fully A+ level on-the-fly as long as the characters are coherent + the writer is practiced at it!) is above average in a major way and there are a million beautiful glimmering pieces of what COULD serve as useful and interesting Elements of a larger plot. but so far it looks like they stopped there without using most of those / iterating on what they already had!

(apparently this game was made with the 20th anniversary of Tales in mind as a release deadline? btwn that and how hard they went with overhauling the combat system, it makes a Lot Of Sense that 1. it is kind of a beautiful mess and 2. berseria, which iterated on stuff it introduced, is Way more polished.)

overall this game feels like a. toybox made with some questionable design choices but a lot of elements that make it catch your eye&brain? that's FULL of toys i extremely want to and will play with, but they ARE very much just kind of dumped in there w/ not a whole lot of regard for. organization. kind of a nicely-contained pile of a game. still probably The funniest video game i have ever played. localization & voice direction are excellent; rose is in a league of her own re: characterization-by-manner-of-speaking (THEY LET HER BE SO CASUAL.... SHE TALKS LIKE PEOPLE; I LOVE HER) & they put allllll their Cringe Points into 1 character for containment purposes (tidy!).

the stuff it tried to do w/ the arenas for fights being 1-to-1 with the environment you walk around in actually fucks severely (+ has led to many cherished Comedy Moments, such as "3 elephants stuck in a doorway getting hit by my sword at once") and i wish theyd tried to solve it by making the CAMERA work with it, instead of by hollowing out the overworld environments so there wouldn't be chokepoints to get stuck on anymore (berseria), bc the environment design is ALSO probably the best i've seen in a tales game?

just. not even "rough around the edges" as in "there's good in here but sometimes it Hurts me" but something more like "box of unpolished rocks i love to rattle around and open and pick up and enjoy but if you're expecting 'presentable collection on a shelf' or whatever you will not find it here"..... i like this game!!!

nonsensical super nerd rant below about the fate series. spoilers for the stay night routes and zero ahead, probably

okay, we’re good, right?

every time someone tries to get someone else to start fate by saying “just watch it in the correct order. start with Fate/Zero :)” Something in me dies. Ive had to tweet about it so many times. There is no series i will ever have nerd rage of this caliber over other than fate. reading fate/stay night changed the way i engage with media and feel about storytelling and writing and all that stuff and its like Why would you ever want someone to spoil all of the coolest twists in fate/stay night by watching zero. it literally spoils like ALL of them. (by the way, gil’s introduction and reveal with him coming out of nowhere is what cemented him as one of my firm favorites. he’s so cool!!!!) And i know the answer. Because no one plays the VN. Because no one ever plays visual novels and theyd rather just flick on an anime. Because for some god awful reason there is no definitive adaptation that cleanly allows you to digest the fate stay night routes !!!!!!!!!! and reading the fucking thing will take you forever !!!!!!!!! and it’s so terribly inaccessible!!!!!! i probably wouldn’t have played it if my sister didn’t already jump through the hoops for me !!!!!!

people who are fate fans and talk about how good unlimited blade works or heavens feel are two starkly different groups depending on if they watched it or read it because they are genuinely two completely different things. don’t get me wrong i Love Love LOVE the heavens feel movies and i doubt they could have done them all too much better (ubw however… ) BUT the thing is fate RELIES on shirou’s internal monologuing and narration and SO much is lost when you have to transfer all of that from writing to screen. even with the english patch translation purportedly being less than ideal i was still out here getting my heartstrings played with by the writing.

BUT ENOUGH GUSHING!!!! THATS THE THING!!!! THE STAY NIGHT ROUTE IN ANIME FORM IS NONEXISTENT!!! UBW AND HEAVENS FEEL ARE SO SEPARATED!!!! THEY’RE THREE ACTS OF A WHOLE AND IT’S PAINFUL TO HAVE THEM BE SO SEPARATED PEOPLE START WITH THE PREQUEL that, while standalone is an incredible story, CANNOT BE EXPERIENCED TO FULL BREADTH WITHOUT HAVING READ STAY NIGHT FIRST!!!! PEOPLE ARE LICKING THE WRAPPER OF A CANDY AND THINKING ITS THE DAMN TASTIEST THING IN THE WORLD !!!!! YOU ARE NOT YET A FAN !!!!! YOU’RE MISSING THE WHOLE POINT !!!!!! KOTOMINE’S VALUE AND INTRIGUE AS A CHARACTER IS UNDERMINED !!!!! GILGAMESH HAS NO TIME TO BE TRULY HORRIFYING BECAUSE YOURE TOO BUSY BEING DISTRACTED BY HOW SEXY HE IS !!!!!! EVERYTHING ABOUT KIRITSUGU !!!!!!!!! SAKURA’S ENTIRE BACKSTORY CHANGING HOW YOU UNDERSTAND AND VIEW HER AS A CHARACTER !!!!!!!!!!! THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW ZOUKEN EVEN EXISTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(composing myself instantly) i just think it’s kind of garbage how people see cool screenshots from the VN and go Wow I Can’t Wait To Go And Not Experience This Thing I’m Getting Intrigued By. or seeing astolfo and thinking fate is all about porn. fate is so much more than anyone thinks it is and you can’t understand until you sit down and read it and suddenly you’re born anew and have to go play tsukihime or mahoyo too. it’s absurd that fate’s whole reputation online is based around porn addicts because YES, EVERYONE, fate OBVIOUSLY began as a Naked Boobs Visual Novel but it was God’s Greatest Naked Boobs Visual Novel that was SO damn good it stopped being about porn immediately and cemented itself as an astoundingly successful work of fiction that has engrained itself into the world line. they added gacha to it and it’s been one of the most successful mobile games Ever. the seventh highest grossing mobile game of all time. and it’s straight up just another VN with barebones combat and grinding thrown inbetween

anyway i forgot what i was even getting mad about everyone should sit down and drain away a week or so reading through all of fate stay night. and then they can truly earn the incomparable experience of cry watching today’s menu for the emiya family. that is all.

supplementary edit: i used to read through fate stay night together with my sister every day in the late afternoon and it became such a great ritual for us. it was some of the best times of my life and if you’re going to read it and have a likeminded friend who can just sit there and chill out for like an hour with you it makes all the crazy moments so much more fun. because you probably are here to read my rant despite not playing the vn. i remember i had a little text file on my phone we’d update every time we learned the identity of a new servant or master and id be sitting there using my love for mythology trying to figure out their identities. there was such a delightful satisfaction when finished the stay night route and unlimited blade works and got to begin the next one. i’d give up a lot to relive those days, i think.
