Post - about the way fandom doesn't consider Darius as a genius inventor or a nerd vs how other characters have many interests in the show
Post - why i don’t think Darius or anyone else would be able to immediately see the uncanny similarities between Hunter and his mentor (semi-serious pet peeve)
Post - If Alador’s participation in the Brawl was treated by the fandom the same way Darius’s interest in sewing is treated (parody)
Post - alada*rius rant
Post - aladar*ius and jay*vik comparisons
Flaws rants:
Post - about the fandom concept of ‘portraying flaws’ where an already routinely demonized character of color is constantly getting chewed out by other characters
Post - i was open minded about Darius’s flaws when starting the rewatch

in your most recent tyson post, you said something about leo being distinctly autistic-coded and I was wondering if you could elaborate on that? it sounds really interesting (sorry if you've already posted something on this, I couldn't find anything though)
Of course! I do have a specific tag for talking about Leo's autistic-coding/traits - [here], and [one for Nico as well].
The main aspects with Leo being autistic-coded actually have a lot to do with Nico being autistic-coded, because it's the comparisons between the two that most clearly indicate Leo is autistic-coded rather than it just being his ADHD or etc.
So with Nico being autistic-coded, it's very clear in the Titan's Curse that he's intended to be autistic. First, the first series has a repeating pattern of secondary characters being very distinctly neurodivergent-coded in different ways (Annabeth's adhd/dyslexia, Tyson's down syndrome-coding, Nico's autism-coding). With Nico's introduction, he's pretty stereotypically autistic and we're given a lot of descriptors about him that are notably not attributed to him being ADHD, like it would be for other demigod characters. He doesn't register social cues such as people getting annoyed at him, he's asking/making inappropriate or impolite questions/comments, he gets particularly upset about change (such as Bianca joining the Hunt) and generally gets emotional, and one of his most notable traits he's introduced with is the fact that he has a special interest (MythoMagic) - and we're shown that this special interest particularly colors how Nico navigates the world. While ADHD has hyperfixations, we don't really get much acknowledgement of hyperfixations with demigods usually - Annabeth gets a little, but most others don't and it's not nearly as focused-in on as Nico's is.
Then as the series continues we see these traits stick with him and him start to show or voice more traits that similarly indicate he's autistic: He regularly mentions how he doesn't understand living people and prefers the company of the dead (social issues). He has more notable stims than other demigods (twisting his ring, fiddling with bones, etc). He's indicated to have strong sensory preferences (usually wearing mostly black/aversion to bright colors, usually wearing layers/his coat, multiple times he's described as wearing loose/baggy clothing or clothes too big for him). He has specific comfort items (his ring, likely his jacket(s) as well). We later get even more information about his special interests (Mythomagic/mythology/history and an older interest in pirates - the latter he specifically notes likely heavily influenced his feelings towards Percy). He struggles with emotions and facial expressions and tone. He struggles particularly with ostracism and feeling like he doesn't fit in and has something distinctly different about him from the people around him (who notably, all have ADHD, which indicates it isn't the ADHD that's making him feel that way), and other characters regularly describe him as being off-putting because of his strange behaviors - again, different from specific ADHD traits they recognize. And that last point is kind of notable because we have Hazel and Bianca for comparison - we know people are off-put by both Nico and Hazel because of being children of Hades/Pluto and their powers/aura, but other characters get past that general feeling of discomfort way faster with Hazel. And even after characters get past the death stuff with Nico, there's a second thing that they aren't moving past that isn't a factor with Hazel (Nico's autism).
So that brings us to Leo - Leo is paralleled to Nico a lot. And there's some very specific traits about him that we know are autistic-coding because of how they're used with Nico: He similarly struggles with social cues/etc, and in a very similar parallel to Nico describes how he prefers the company of machines to people because machines make more sense to him. He has similar types of clothing/sensory preferences (again some stuff with layers but also - pockets! He likes having pockets and things to put stuff in! He's even introduced as having a jacket with lots of pockets), and he has a distinct special interest (machinery) that we specifically know heavily influences how he views and navigates the world (constantly comparing things to machinery, describing things with machinery metaphors/terminology, etc etc). He even describes his entire general worldview to Hazel and it's a machine metaphor. He also similarly struggles with ostracization like Nico does, the only difference being that Leo specifically puts on a persona to compensate for areas he knows he's lacking in and very explicitly describes it as a means to make people like him, because without it he normally struggles to fit in (He's masking!). We also see notes of characters describing that similar discomfort with Leo's behaviors that they do with Nico, except without the aura of death this time. And when we're in Leo's POVs we see a very stark difference between his masking and his actual personality/behaviors such as his internal dialogues or how he behaves when he's alone. Also, like Nico, he stims more than other demigods, though for Leo it's more attributed to his ADHD. Leo also, more often than most, similarly struggles with tone and reading the room, such as making misplaced jokes/comments or etc.
But yeah! It's really interesting. Also it's just a fun thing that ADHD/dyslexia and autism have comorbidity, so it makes sense that we see demigods who are also autistic. It's also really fun to look at how other characters are coded in the series, what coding looks like in the riordanverse specifically (usually it's tied into the mythological stuff - like Chiron being in a wheelchair but he's actually a centaur, Grover being introduced as having a muscular disease but he's actually a satyr, demigods having adhd/dyslexia, Tyson being coded as having down syndrome but he's a cyclops, etc etc - it's a lot of specific metaphor stuff that I've talked about a bit before), and to look at how characters are compared to one another.
#pjo#riordanverse#leo valdez#nico di angelo#autistic nico#autistic leo#autism#analysis#Anonymous#ask#long post //#woof sorry that got long#im very passionate about this topic#re: characters being paralleled#Ms. ''Constantly Neutral - No Emotions'' Reyna looking at Nico stimming in the exact same way she does (twisting ring)#and internally going ''We have a lot in common. I don't know how I feel about that.'' is one of my favorites.#like. reyna. ma'am. you might be autistic. good luck with that.#with the pattern of coding in the first series i do suspect Rachel has some coding as well but i haven't been able to pinpoint what it is#I think it may be the whole seer thing and the fact that she could see the future#even before becoming the oracle/despite being a mortal rather than a demigod (who just get rare prophetic dreams normally)#and in BoTL her entire thing is that she's able to see things that no one else can and that's how they navigate the maze#particularly also with how the labyrinth is treated/how it affects people within it (see: Chris)#and how the only other seer in the first series - May - is characterized and her coding compared to Rachel's#also something something the seer traits become more prominent once Rachel meets Percy#something something metaphor about only being able to recognize neurodivergency traits once you're familiar with them#so Rachel meets Percy = introduction to the community > Rachel recognizes her own traits/symptoms > gets a support system (oracle)

i recently stopped focusing on defining relationships as Romantic & start viewing romance as an Expression of Intimacy (bc there are plenty of romantic things i do within my "Platonic" relationships, there are plenty of romantic things i do - that are explicitly romantic - in relationships Not defined by the romance but by other facets) and my life has Significantly improved as has the love i express & experience among my lovers
#bunny rambles#reminder: my lovers are not Long Term Romantic Relationships for Marriage#but relationships (any kind. most are platonic actually lol) where when i think of them i want to SCREAM over how much i love them#and these ppl are all in the know of who they are. many of these turn to long term relationships (ie: being in each others lives for a while#and gains some significance depending on the relationship type/our shared needs & wants but not always)#and like. romance as an expression of Intimacy instead of being a Relationship Type I Pursue (esp bc. i still dont even know what the real#difference for me between a Romantic and Non Romantic relationship is bc.... i love who i love and thats that idc if we're Romantically#Involved im gonna love u and learn ab u and send presents and spend hours with u when we hang out and etc etc etc regardless of the romance)#has just been such a nice change. ive finally called all my lovers and talked w them about this and all of them were SUPER receptive and#a lot of them really liked my framework and are taking it for themselves too / are integrating parts of it into their understanding of their#own relationship framworks & how they navigate relationships#i love my lovers so much#really the biggest axes in my life for relationships Types is like#based on Enmeshment (do we plan/desire to enmesh lives or maintain separate ones)#bc there's no real other realm where my relationships are all that different from each other.#im even starting to develop partially enmeshed relationships now where we Want to live together at Some point but probably wont live togethr#Forever but Will be in each others lives for as long as we can be nonetheless. those are really exciting bc i used to have a major problem#with All or Nothing thinking and thats admittedly when i focued more on Romance vs Friendship#but all my lovers are my friends and i also woo all of them even if we are sexually incompatible bc like...... those are my lovers?#i love them i want to see them happy and smiling? i want to induce the warm fuzzies in them? and i do not think not having sex with some of#them or not enmeshing our lives and not dating means i can't do these things#i just. ahhhh 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰#ive also called almost all my lovers this month so im feeling really gushy about them all rn

Sorry but saw someone say "I can't be mean and get the reversed endings" for the Arcana characters and a big loud INCORRECT BUZZER sound went through my brain, but it was something from five years ago so I'll ramble here instead. Also I'm sure someone else said it already but I've never seen it so I'll make this for the side of the internet that strolls around here.
The premise of this is: The Arcana revolves around the concept of tarot cards in more ways than just having the major arcanas as characters or Asra's deck helping the MC. If you're not familiar with tarot cards, you probably only know them from the minigame where you can get readings from the characters.
Now, there's two ways tarot cards can be when you draw them: upright or reversed. Which gives us two ways to read them. The upright reading is just the meaning of the card, of course, but the reversed reading isn't JUST the opposite of the card! It's the PEJORATIVE connotation of the card. Easiest example: the Emperor may be read as "authority" when upright, but when reversed it may be read as "tiranny". Or, the Lovers may be read as "loyalty" when upright, and as "obedience" when reversed. While there are also some meanings that could be said are "opposites", I usually interpret the card itself as a concept, and then the upright meaning as the better version, while the reversed is the worse version. Example: generic card stands for "truth", I'd read up as "revealed/known", while reversed would be "concealed/hidden". It's always about truth, just in two different sauces; two sides fo the same coin kinda deal.
So! How does that tie back to The Arcana endings?
You don't have to be "nice" or "mean" to the characters. All you need to do is push them in the right direction fpr the ending you want to achieve, depending on the meaning of their card and how their "upright" version would differ from the "reversed" version. Knowing what card corresponds to each of them sure heps, especially when you're doing the route to learn more of the lore and not because you personally like that character as a person.
It's how I got to Asra's and Lucio's upright ending without using tutorials and despite not really being into them! Julian's doesn't count, we're both pisces so I just get that idiot /hj. After them I uninstalled the game bc I had too much to do and never enough time to play and enjoy the story (Asra's route was a struggle already and I only retained 50% of it).
Also, getting the reversed ending doesn't mean you're bad (because I've seen people make such comments), it just means you didn't have a firm hand when you might have had to :) maybe you were afraid to hurt their feelings, but that happens. You gotta break some eggs to make a- how the hell is it called in english? Omelette? Sounds too fancy for the food I'm thinking of but let's go with that.
The fun thing with the Arcana love interests is that none of them is a perfect person that can realise their own faults later "as the story progresses" like in many other dating sims. They have flaws, and the player is a big part of their character development! You don't have to please them or have them hate you. Just go with the card's meaning!
-Sincerely, a tarot nerd that had their first deck gifted to them at 11 years old and used to do basic "yes/no/maybe" readings with the major arcana for the other kids in school between classes (I stopped in middle school, plus my baby brother ate- yes, ate the corner of my Fool,though I still did a few personal readings... I might get fully back into it now that I'm older... plus I still have all the minor arcana from that same deck... ughhh but I love my oracle deck...)
#The Arcana game#the arcana#tarot cards#if anyone more knowledgeable on tarots wants to add onto this y'all are welcome to reblog or even correct me if I'm saying bs#also take this as advice on how to navigate the game NOT on how to read tarots because that's a whole other deal#I'll gift myself that shiny The Arcana tarot deck one day... maybe if the price drops a bit... I hate shipping costs too...#Maybe I'll make my own deck...#Idk...#I could edit stuff I like into tarot cards though#YEAH THAT WOULD BE FUN

I think part of why I'm a little bit softer towards Quackity's finale, or simply unsure of how to criticize it, is that, perhaps more than any other ending we've seen, the meta elements are... very difficult to ignore.
DSMP was a roleplay server. Even at its most highly produced and pre-written, it was still a roleplay server. Moreover, it was a roleplay in which all of the characters shared a name with their player, the lines between the fiction and the OOC friendships were frequently blurred, and very few people had much if any experience with roleplay and its associated pitfalls such as the dreaded "character bleed." That is an environment ripe for joy and excitement. It's also an environment rife with turbulence and wounded feelings.
So, the first thing is that this doesn't just represent an ending for c!Quackity, it represents closing a chapter in cc!Quackity's career. When he got the chance to stream in his native language without fear of being judged or mocked for it, k!Quackity was born. When he embarked on a project that reconciled his two audiences, there was q!Quackity. c!Quackity was a storytelling triumph as far as MCYT goes, but where was he to go next?
On a narrative level, I find it interesting that the two survivors, and the traits portrayed that helped them decide to continue living, represent what were once c!Quackity's best traits - k!Quackity's determination and sense of justice, and q!Quackity's love and desire to connect with others. Combined with c!Slime's parting words of "Thank you for teaching me what it's like to be human," this might underscore a point that c!Quackity was ultimately a learning experience, both for the writer and the other characters. He might be gone, but he still left some positive impact. The ones who came after him chose not to continue a negative cycle.
However, the other snag here is... the other people. Yeah. No need for detail, you know who I mean. The controversies, the racism mentioned above, the legitimately awful treatment of those within and without the DSMP circle. A lot of us won't excuse the writing because of that. And I get it - we, the audience, can easily separate the story from the people behind it. If this were a film franchise or television show, it would be easy to replace the actors and move on. Not so in a roleplay. Not so when the actor and character have bled together so much.
I've got to get a little personal.
Within the last few months, I've dealt with a similar experience - someone who I frequently roleplayed with and who I considered a close friend became incredibly abusive to one of my other friends, to the point where he needed to be distanced from our lives and cut from future plots entirely. Logistically, that is a hard thing to deal with, especially when your character was closely entwined with theirs and dozens of others. But emotionally, it's even harder. You start questioning past interactions, wondering whether the signs were always there. You start noticing strange details in their writing that you know you might be reading too much into, but still make you sick to think about. In extreme cases, the thought of even playing your own character again becomes unbearable, because they were so clearly impacted by the choices of people you no longer want anything to do with.
I had an easier time adapting my character to the new course of events. My other friend, the one who had suffered his betrayal firsthand, nearly had her character disappear alongside his.
Sometimes, people cope with endings the way Tommy did. By saying, "No, I'm going to go back and end on a happy note, because my character deserves that, and the goodness was there." Sometimes, that just... doesn't feel possible. I really truly have to wonder if c!Quackity, for all the pride and care that was clearly taken in crafting his story, was just a holder of too many negative experiences and attributes for the writer to do anything but throw up one last cathartic hurrah and shelve him forever.
I'm not saying it was the ideal ending for c!Quackity. I'm not saying it was perfectly written, or that the absence of certain characters wasn't baffling or frustrating. I'm not even saying people aren't justified in hating how our favorite character's story concluded. Hell, I'm still not sure whether I like how brutal, how final, how bitterly tragic it was.
I'm just saying it's hard for me not to empathize.
#normally i don't like to speak too much on cc dynamics or speculate about their personal lives#but i think my own life circumstances give me some. uh. unfortunate perspective in this case#i'd always read and analyzed the DSMP the way i read and analyze literature and film#but i think the closer analogue is what i've done more recently - hobbyist roleplay in the context of a large and rambunctious gaming group#there will never be a perfect story. or even one entirely divorced from authorial context. and that's especially true of this medium#i can't fathom how hard it is to navigate all that interpersonal bullshit when you also have an audience you can't disappoint#dsmp#c!quackity

Bad news: I don't think I'm going to be able to write for ever day of TD horror week as I'd originally imagined.
Good news: The days I am going to be part of will be Cooking. I shan't spoil too much about it but one day already has 2.5K words and is only like a fourth of the way done.
#I will admit I'm not getting to that word count on my own#I have a little help ;)#It's equal and hard work to make the teenagers endure the horrors but someone's gotta do it#No elaborating for spoilers but I'm really excited about it#some of the days might end up just being exposition dumps as it was for Alenoah week#It's just what I've got the energy but for right now#But the ideas! They're happening!#I know I've been a lot less active in comparison to earlier this year with posting original fan content#Navigating between interacting a la Discord and still doing writing is hard#The ADHD prefers the quicker dopamine release that shorter conversations allow for#Plus RPing#RPing has also taken hold of me once more#And for those I am RPing with I love you dearly <3 /p#But I promise even with writing coming out a lot slower I'm giving it up never#The AUs demand completion and will get them one day#Oops this turned into quite a lengthy ramble in the tags#Point is I hope you're all as excited for horror week as I am#What I post will surprise you and me both#And also can't wait to see everyone else's submissions!#The Horrors. They shall overtake us all.#perp rambles#i am my own hype woman#i shall not apologize for this#We should all be our own hype people

If I learn enough about the Many-Worlds Interpretation and also add a touch of the idea of "sensitivity to initial conditions" from chaos theory, I can make an excuse to make my self-indulgent stuff of Blue Space like "what if they were in a rock band" into a series or integrate them into that eventual hypothetical series about a Blue Space Archives as bonus chapters as speculation
#transmission from the captain#(blue space is literally the “do crazy shit with science” plot device and that presents such fun avenues for fanworks for me)#(fall semester i'm going to be taking a course about specific topics from the philosophy of science and i'm excited for it!!)#(i heard very good things about the professor for the dedicated philosophy of science courses too)#(that is going to generate a lot of ideas for this)#(you do not choose the thing you're obsessed with. here i am with blue space. get me out of here)#(it's okay maybe i can get blue space as a whole to grow on at least somebody via my own personal fanon haha)#(anyway about the rock band idea- it's literally just fun but also the singer parallels have potential)#(people who are severed from their home world and one of the things they brought from earth was music)#(songs for only themselves as a memento of old joys since it was said galactic humans couldn't really enjoy life by guan yifan)#(also chu yan has a thing for reducing psychological damage with his crew so can you imagine the scenario of)#(chu yan: “we are going to make a band to ease everyone's tensions.” zhuo wen + park ui-gun + akihara reiko: “what”)#(band set up is: chu yan - vocalist. zhuo wen - bassist. park ui-gun - guitarist. akihara reiko - percussionist)#(chu yan is the vocalist to have a more direct connection with singer)#(zhuo wen is the bassist because as a science officer he helps provides the foundation for blue space's endeavors)#(park ui-gun is the guitarist to reflect a secondary leader role)#(akihara reiko is the percussionist because it would be really cool if she had drums themed after stars and planets)#(so it would mirror her role as navigator visually)#(then this all gets tied together with the philosophy of science somehow)#(speaking of chaos theory. i need to eventually do another thing i've been procrastinating on)

I really hate how twt makes it impossible to rly look back at your acct past a certain date. Like when I wanna re-live the glory days of some past fandom on tumblr, I can go back on my archive. On twitter? You're fucked imo.
Man, I just wanna look back at my acct to see the fanart I reblogged when some specific genshin pv came out, but it's basically impossible. It makes me wish I downloaded a lot more art/fanart in general, bcs its so hopeless atp :/
#i mean its always been like this so#but i hate it#bcs twt was honestly the best place to find art imo#like soooooo much top quality fanart and original art#AND NOW ITS JUST LOST TO TIME#yeah it exists out there#but im fucked if i cant remember specifically#and my twt download folder is a graveyard of art i had actually made the step to save#aaaghhh it just makes me upset bcs i rly love my twt account#like i reblogged a lot of good art on there. way more than on here tbh#but yeah. irs rly impossible to look back on#LIKE WHY WOULD THEY MAKE A SOCMED THATS SO IMPOSSIBLE TO NAVIGATE#grrrrr idk it makes me angry#bcs ir feels like every other socmed is almost obsessed with archiving and being able to look back#like archive on here. insta you can go back all the way on someones acct and also archive your own stuff#basically every other socmed has better search functions#and yet the one where i felt like i experienced the best content is just. impossible.#its not even an x thing. its always been like this#and honestly if elon fixed that id prob be willing to go back on twt again 😭😭😭#catie.rambling.txt

guys i have been in a state for days. i am giddy i am gasping for air i am broken inside i am blushing i am sweating i am twirling my hair i am suffering i dont know how to deal with the very real possibility that nandor has loved guillermo for years and has been restraining himself, feigning aloofness, keeping his distance, because all these years he understood that maybe guillermo would never be ready for vampirism - and maybe hes been so depressed in the latest years because hes finally found someone he wants to spend eternity with, and he strongly suspects he will spend eternity missing them instead
#i truly truly truly dont know how to deal#this season recontextualised the whole show for me#if i shipped nandermo before now i am absolutely batshit crazy about them and its all i think about#wwdits#wwdits spoilers#what we do in the shadows#nandermo#this is just speculation but i just - i feel it in my bones#like fuck imagine having been alone for 800 years. fuck. imagine losing lover after lover and being kind of a disaster at romance actually#imagine finding someone you so easily connect with and theyre so amazing you love them so much they can even hold their own against you#and fuck they like you back. and then you understand that they are too fundamentally kind to be a monster.#and its like a fucking stake through the heart its like youre made of glass and youre shattering#i hate this and i swear to god. they need to end up together. not just to end up together#they need to spend the rest of their lives together and ideally eternity tbh#i dont care gizmo you get over the killing hangup and have nandor turn you and spend eternity in#bliss and shenanigans. like man. man. man. i love how this season turned out i really do#but i hope its more of a ‘he had not thought it through and wasn’t ready and also we need to have nandor do it fr’#anyway nandor becoming human is also ok but i really hope that they find a way to navigate guillermos inability to kill#like. nandor killing for him or him robbing blood banks or him only hunting predators etc#or him feeding without killing people#just bc i still really like the concept of them having so much time together and their time together not be limited#i feel like after all those years pining for one another. they deserve that

June 2024 ^
August 2022 ^
original image
#redrawww#while i like both of these a fair amount-there is a lot of difference between the two#just how i preffer drawing now compared to 2 years ago#crazy looking back lol#my art#promare#lio fotia#also. the newer one was simpler for me to do#and ended up being faster now that i actually can navigate through all the app stuff on procreate#i also did not put as much detail into the redraw because i wanted to emulate the studio trigger style a little bit more while having#my own twist still

🙏Thank you for feeding us parent. I will leave no crumbs 🙏
Of course! I had an absolute blast making it- and I think it turned out really well! The song, the lyrics, the shots, the lil animations- it all just lined up perfectly it was SO FUN despite my hand absolutely despising me at the moment (its worth it). Who knows MAYBE if I get enough ideas I'll do another like this one day...
#there is another song that i have been side eyeing... Divide by The Birthday Massacre#something about the line “the fates will divide in three” and the image of Jack Jerry and Rosa....#the storyboarding is honestly the hardest part of making these because i need to put the mental thoughts into tangible images#great thing i do a lotta storyboarding on my own#also the song Carolina Reaper by amelie farren for vol 3#if i will ever get to them idk#need to navigate around moving out#finding more actual PAID work and irl stuff#i dread the day I can no longer make things that bring me joy because capitalism is a bitch#clock rambles

ur niceness feels fake
This is such a wild anon because generic hate for the things i draw is whatever, you all go in the garbage bin, but I'm quite quiet online so I'm fascinated by *where* you've come from.
Regardless, I regret to inform you that I generally Am Just That Sincere and that I do try to just be kind wherever I can - The world is nasty enough, I don't need to add to that
but also If your response to niceness is to scrutinize it and doubt it, maybe evaluate your outlook?
#i don't know - I don't know you but like maybe your cynicism is slashing up a wall between you and more niceness in the world#what do i get from Faking Being Nice really#catch me crying with love on call over salmon at 2 AM and the beauty of the world around us#ask n answer#sorry this one was too interesting not to answer#but also! I am mean! I can be very mean! But I think it's important to not spout that all over public places and instead in trusted spaces#Where I can navigate my own meanness and be critical of it and be better for it#We can all be mean and unkind and fuck up - that's human! But I think we have a duty to be kind to one another where otherwise called for

hearing my friend talk about her roster sounds so outlandish to me. like im glad for you bbg and it's so interesting but i don't think i can even imagine being in that same headspace. i can maybe like someone like once a year
#i fully think i might be somewhere on the aroace spectrum#but i know i do genuinely want to be loved romantically#just it's so weirdly difficult for me#and i tend to confuse platonic and romantic feelings#i also realised there were times i just desperately wanted affection i kind of fucked things up for myself more than i should have#when i felt so lonely i latched onto the first person who made me feel seen without me thinking#i can see that i was just feeling a lot during that time and im happy with being friends#god i was such a mess#but also if i didn't go through that i wouldn't have grown into the person i am now#i can cringe at myself and maybe fall back into bad habits but at least now i know better#and this all depends on the person#personally i don't like the idea of rosters and thinking about it stresses me out but everyone has they're own way of things#txt#little ramble#it's also a little frustrating and lonely trying to navigate through my own lesbianism since it still all feels so fresh#im trying not to feel too isolated but ill live#and im still growing so i recognise ill still make decisions i will regret#but i will be more gentle with myself#it's so hard to let myself be happy#actually fuck rosters i don't like thinking about people in that way

ik the implication of the von valancius succession is that our RT is just some random fucking 7th cousin twice removed but i actually think its so funny if leda is theodora's daughter.
#oc: leda#or granddaughter maybe . w the anti-aging shenanigans in this universe i have no idea how old anyone is#except for leda is who is a tiny baby infant 34 year old <3#sorry this is so unhinged upon rereading but#shes a psyker and she was unsactioned until caught when she was abt 21 or so . WAY older than most who survive the sanctioning process#and i was thinking abt HOW she couldve even survived that long and since the inquisition do routine scans#but i guess it makes sense if she was in the same boat as idira . best way to hide is to be on a ship thats constantly moving lol#anyway i think she literally grew up on theodora's voidship lmao. bc if theodora wanted to protect her ace-up-the-sleeve psyker heir#without actually caring abt her OR drawing attention to her. itd be pretty easy to just um send her downstairs lol#i just think it works! she has pretty radical views on technology bordering on heresy already#so expanding on that.. where else better to have fostered that curiosity than on theodora's own ship lmao#and bonding so quick with nomos too.. bc shes always loved the ship and she sees him AS the ship. like a big brother she always wanted lol#i also just think its funny imagining leda getting the call years after leaving the voidship + serving as a sanctioned psyker and being lik#''oh i wonder if that cafe on level IX is still there. the one next to the puppy incinerator and the Death-Gamma-Beta-Murder-XIV machine''#and she checks for sure. she goes down to the lower levels routinely i think. not that she has any friends down there lol theyre all dead <#but she likes to people watch <3 and feel like a human being again for once . not just a psyker or Her Ladyship yknow#but anyway. she absolutely has no clue who her family are which is why she answers the call. finding out she is a von valancius isnt so muc#her seizing a power grab . more just her wanting to find people to help ... navigate her way out of the dark i guess.#will expand on That later when i have brain cells. to my audience of like 2 people who care <3 JKFDGJK
