Ehem- Uh. Is this thing on? Right.

Welcome to the Tennis Ball Cinematic Universe: Director's Cut!

What are we?

The Directors of the TBCU, of course! We embody the fourth wall. We stand between you and your favorite TBCU content. You could consider us Gods or Dieties if you'd like.

We create and watch over various universes and timelines. We observe and record only the most interesting content to bring directly to your screens.

As you may have seen, we have access to inner thoughts and feelings of each of our subjects.

We directors work tirelessly to present the best of the best in every genre. That includes giving you insight into the minds of your favorite characters!

This blog documents our personal feelings about our subjects and opens the floor for subject-to-director interaction. It also provides a behind the scenes look into the production of the TBCU.

Submit a review! Have fun, tell us how you feel. Rate it out of 5 stars! We'd love to hear your feedback.

Anything less than 4☆ and there will be consequences! :]

Can you change the course of their lives?

That's the question, isn't it? We provide accurate narration, certainly. We pride ourselves on providing authentic documentation of past, current, and future events.

We may have created our subjects, but they get free reign over their decisions. Legally, we can not confirm nor deny any personal influence on our subject's lives. However, it is within our rights to remove, remake, and retcon content as we please.

Between you and me, there are those of us who take a more hands-on approach. Some stories just need a push in the right direction. There's no harm in a little godly influence, is there?

For Our Beloved Creations:

Wondering which god pertains to you? Just ask!

Existential Crisis? Come yell at a god. We will humor you...probably.

hot take but i for one am glad those screenshots got released to the public. there i said it! im glad that other people can see how fucking awful the community was for those outside of the little popular kid-like circle that formed. can you see it? see it in how they defended themselves, both in the reblogs/comments and the screenshots? the server was a safe space! …. for them. if it was a safe space for all, then why would people feel like they have to go to anon to address things?

throughout my time in this community, it has gotten more and more obvious that an exclusive group was formed. curious? confused? just look at the sona season intimacy levels! look at how, despite all being in the same community and using the same tags, much more interactions Those people get versus everyone else. it’s sad, really. after all, communities are supposed to be INclusive, supposed to welcome all! but my friends and i have not felt included for MONTHS in this community, despite all of our efforts. i spent months talking every day in that server, just for ONE person to notice that i left a MONTH later. i made an entire oc whose sole purpose in the beginning was to build interactions and therefore friendships with everyone in the community. i made an entire project where i drew almost everyones ocs for the sole purpose of building interactions and therefore friendships with everyone in the community. and all of that failed, cause these people didnt care about me.

for months i thought that i was the problem. i saw everyone else getting more hype than me and thought it was because i wasnt as talented as them, that i needed to improve as quickly as possible to be on the same level as everyone else. isnt that sad? THAT was the environment you have created. it was very obvious that that server was a “server owner and friends” server and not an “alnst oc community” server, and not everyone was considered a friend.

its all “please tell us if you have a problem with us” until YOU are offended by what people are uncomfortable with. could that argument have been handled better? yes. but ill never forget how i felt when anon was taken off, and we were told we “didnt care” about what we were talking about because we were “hiding behind anon.” i wasnt hiding because i didnt care, i was hiding because i was SCARED! i was scared to potentially break the bonds i had with people i thought were my friends. and then look what happened, i was practically forced to go off anon and explain myself and once i left the server almost everyone in that group stopped interacting with me. this is why im softblocking everyone and posting this rant now. i wanted to do this back in december, but i was scared of the confrontation that i could possibly receive and forced myself to wait until sona season and s40 was over for me.

(obviously there are other things to talk about regarding That argument, but since this rant is just about my feelings thats only what im gonna be talking about)

i was nothing but nice to people, i hyped up everyones work. and you know what i got in return? a lack of care towards my ocs (specifically cindy) and myself. you know what i also got in return? the absolute worst intimacy levels out of every post i was a part of. do you know how awful that makes me feel? getting 30%s while everyone else gets 80%? to YOU it might seem like something fun and silly, but to OTHERS the sona season is a representation of how excluded we felt. its so obvious that the sona season revolves around peoples feelings for each other, and so if youre not a part of the Main Group despite trying for months to be friends with them then youre just left alone in the corner. sorry to break your bubble of fun, but you guys need to realize that you created this. you guys only care about the alien stage ocs and sonas if theyre YOUR ocs and sonas.

anyway this is so lame and corny but i just needed to finally get my feelings out after holding them in for Months. obviously youre allowed to be closer to others, but you cant brand yourself as inclusive and the server as a safe space when it wasnt that way for everyone because of you. my friends and i have been disrespected for months and were done. thanks for the memories i guess! it was fun in the beginning.

I need to vent because this situation I’m is honestly insane and it’s making me seriously consider leaving TH entirely

This started about 2–3 years ago. I joined a Discord server through a friend group there was around 16 members, but only a few of us were active. We had our own little outside group chats but still interacted in the main server. There was one member who was the oldest (27 years old with a kid) always acted kinda strange around me. She was obsessed with one of my characters and used to make a lot of fanart of them. She shared it with the server which I didn’t mind cause free art. Eventually she stopped posting the art publicly. I later found out she was still drawing my character but only sharing it in private chats with her close friends. And in group art they would do she’d replace her own sona with my character and would draw vent art with them as well. I didn’t know this was happening until recently. Another weird thing every time I favorited a UFS character she’d buy them. I tested this by favoriting random characters and she still bought them. That made me super uncomfortable. It felt like I was constantly being watched.

Just a few days ago her exfriend came forward after a falling out and showed me a shit ton of screenshots relating to me. Her plan apparently was to collect all the characters I liked, then use them to trade for my character the one she was obsessed with. She already calls my character her sona and has been using them behind my back for about a year even commissioning art of them.

I did the math and she’s spent around $8,000 buying characters I faved not including the commissioned art. She claims to have a good job but…you’re a grown ass adult with a kid spending thousands and stalking someone online over a fictional character? What the actual fuck.

There’s more to it but I’m still processing everything and this situation isn’t over. Like I genuinely don’t know what to do at this point I’ve never been in drama or a situation even close to this

ATIN ANG WEST PHILIPPINE SEA

Sa atin ang Pilipinas, mapa-timog, hilaga, silangan o kanluran.

PILIIN NATIN ANG PILIPINAS‼️🇵🇭

The West Philippine Sea is ours

The Philippines is ours, whether it be south, north, east or west.

Let us choose the Philippines‼️🇵🇭 (this last line is a reference to a song, "Piliin mo ang Pilipinas" by Angeline Quinto)

{a little fun fact before I go to the explanation, the 4 urchins in my sona's headwear references the stars and sun in our flag. The largest at the back being the sun, and the 3 front urchins being the stars. }

PLEASE READ!

I'm scared of hearing news about this, so i sometimes refuse to watch the news. However, with tiktok, facebook and instagram, its been informing shit to me. It's all over my fyp.

I made this post to spread awareness of what's going on here:

China's been all aggressive towards our territory, our WEST PHILIPPINE SEA. Then the Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo, is possibly distracting our government as the tensions rise on our WPS. And then there's the US, I don't know if we can trust the US especially with that video of an American Politician (correct me if Im wrong at this part because i do not know who that is) saying 'the USA doesn't like the Philippines and they are simply using us'. And the alarming increase of Chinese students around some regions of our country, and the illegal casino businesses (POGO) nationwide [funnily enough, I'm seeing casino game ads whenever I watch youtube or play games, it's so hilarious that theyre on the rise right now that it's annoying me.] And we're all dealing these along with the corrupt assholes in the government, poverty, and overpopulation.

I don't know what to do aside from being at least aware of the situation and spread awareness about this, because you know, I'm just... scared.

We do have some allies but I just hope no war or conflict will break out. There's too many youngsters here, and I still want to experience things i want to experience. I still want to see my 2 little brothers grow up. I still want to experience being known, being remembered, y'know?

If I die, I will gladly say, "Fuck off" on anyone who tries to invade us, may it be China or the US or anyone else. If China threatens a nuclear bomb, then death is certainly my wish at that point.

I can't be silent at this, I pray that China stops bullshitting our territory and withdraw from any conflicts they planned. We're all just people, there's so many out there scared because of this situation.

I hope this sheds some light.

REBLOG TO SPREAD AWARENESS!!

Visual presentation of whats happening

[that-gloomy-system]

Hi and hello to all!!

We are Gloom/Gloomy, a dissociative, medically recognized system of around 50 members! This is a blog dedicated to our system stuff, mogai coinings, thoughtless rambles and random shitposts. We aren’t a fan of discourse no matter what kind.

We are bodily a minor (so no NSFW interactions please)

We collectively identify as genderfluid, xenogender, gai, gaybian and polyamorous

We have autism, ADHD, anxiety, NPD and BPD so tread cautiously with what you say towards us (especially when it’s negative)

Sometimes we will post drawings, whether of our sona or just silly emojis. As for stances we are pro contradictory labels like lesboy and bigay, pro endogenic systems (but stances may very between alters), neutral/unaligned/apathetic to shipcourse, anti contact for harmful paras but pro contact for non-harmful paras, anti-radqueer, pro-transid alternatives like desirdae, intusi, etc. If you have a question about any other stance feel free to respectfully ask.

Our DNI is quite simple terfs, racists, transmeds, pd-abuse believers, pro-harassment, offending harmful paras and ableists fuck off

Below is our collective sona which was made and then redrawn from lillycrew’s picrew

Most userboxes are by @//ghosting-plural-userboxes and @//disabled-safe-haven (no tag bc we don’t wanna bother them)

[sillywormz]

ask for your ask box do you believe in ghosts

OMG YAY HI tysm for the ask!!!! :D i wasn't expecting to get any this is awesome

my answer to this question is a little complicated........ ig my ultimate answer is no, i don't, but regardless ghosts still rlly fascinate me as a subject. i don't think that people who think they're haunted or say they've seen ghosts are always lying, in fact i think the majority are probably honestly recounting what they thought they saw. but human perception is deeply flawed and there are almost always a vast range of explanations more reasonable than "there's a non-corporeal dead guy wandering around", yknow?

THAT BEING SAID. i fucking love ghosts so much. before i had "wormz" in all of my usernames i would usually have ghost themed usernames lol. my sona was a little ghost for a while. i love reading abt ppl's "ghost encounters", i love watching cheesy dumb ghost hunter TV shows, and i love fiction about ghosts. i genuinely just love ghosts so much. and ever since i was a kid i have wanted to see a ghost soooo bad. but i have yet to have had any kind of inexplicable paranormal experience happen to me. even slightly spooky things that have happened always have a different and more likely explanation. and on an intellectual level i just can't rlly bring myself to believe in ghosts or any kind of afterlife at all. i think the only kind of afterlife humans really have is that our constituent parts, no matter what form they're in, become part of the world around us and are reused by other things. nothing ever truly goes to waste. the universe is a great recycling machine our matter inevitably becomes part of other things <3

these opinions may all be subject to change if a random translucent woman in a white gown appeared in my house or something btw LMAO. i am not opposed to taking on new evidence and adjusting my opinions bc of it, nor do i judge ppl for believing in ghosts either. but personally until i see some unrefutable scientific evidence or see some inexplicable spooky shit with my own two eyes, i'm gonna stay a ghost enjoyer but also a ghost sceptic 👻

[gay-disabled-characters-showdown]

LGBTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 2, Wave 2, Poll 9

A character being totally canon LGBTQ+ and disabled was not required to be in this competition. Please check qualifications and propaganda before asking why a character is included.

Check out the other polls in this wave and prior here.

Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Webber / Sun Spider-Marvel

Qualifications:

Charlie is canonically disabled and canonically queer, having EDS and being pansexual. She was originally a spider-sona created by a fan, Dawn Broder, who is agender and disabled.Unlike most disabled characters in superhero media, Charlie stays disabled even after gaining her powers! She uses crutches and a wheelchair, both of which are used alongside her webslinging. Her crutches have webslingers inside them, meaning she uses them to get around even while being sun-spider, and Across The Spider-verse shows her wheelchair being able to help her climb on walls and similar as well. Charlie's story also covers issues faced by disabled people! When an emergency happens at her prom, she's reminded that if she wasn't a spider-person she would be left behind as the others evacuate, which is something that's common irl as well.

Charlotte Webber (Sun-Spider) has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and is an ambulatory wheelchair and crutch user. As shown in the comics she is also queer! She was created by Dayn Broder, a queer disabled comics editor and writer who also has EDS. Sun-Spider’s screentime in Across The Spiderverse was awesome especially the design of her wheelchair. She has web-shooters equipped in her crutches which she uses to fight with. She’s just so fucking cool and hopefully gets more inclusion in comics in the future.

Propaganda:

Charlie is SO important to me as a disabled person because she shows that we can be superheroes while still being disabled, we don't have to have our disabilities taken away to be super. She's also a very fun character! She's funny!

Mostly what I said in the last section, but once again she’s so cool and her wheelchair in ATSV is so sick (when she is not using it it follows her with sort of mecha spider legs).

Heart-Moonlight Chicken

Qualifications:

He's deaf (and I think one of the first ever deaf love interests in a Thai drama) and canonically gay with a boyfriend.

hes canonically deaf and gay

Heart is a gay deaf character in the drama moonlight chicken.

Heart is canonically deaf and canonically has a boyfriend at the end of the series! :)

Canonically queer and deaf

He’s canonically deaf and the love interest of another male character (Li Ming)

Propaganda:

A lot of his storyline is about the struggles of being deaf in Thai society. The show is only 8 episodes and he’s only a supporting character so it can't go super in depth to it but his arc was really well done imo. He lost his hearing due to illness like 3 years before canon (I forget th exact time frame), but his parents shut him away and never learned sign language so his storyline is about being able to come into his own and leave the house and everything. Like his love interest learns sign language for him and researches what to do to help him feel normal and supports him as his parents are forced to confront how they've failed their son with their lack of acceptance of being deaf. Like his whole story is just him finally getting to live his life normally again after being shut off from the world and having a supportive boyfriend. At the end of the show, he goes to a deaf college in America to study engineering.

he became deaf after a disease and since then is isolated in his home for 3 years. these years also coincide with the pandemic. and his parents didnt learn sign, just writing their messages in a paper and sliding it to him without hearing what he has to say. he was also presumably degraded for talking because it wasnt very clear because hes literally deaf. his parents by the end of the show try to talk better to him through sign but good god. he was so lonely

Heart is an amazing character. His story show us the hardships he faces with his family acceptance but also the importance of forming a community. His love story with ming is beautiful and heartwarming.

Heart is sheltered by his parents after losing his hearing due to illness. Throughout the series, however, his parents gain more understanding of him and his abilities and he gains a found family with his boyfriend Li Ming and Li Ming's family and it's all so heartwarming and wholesome. Although his parents see him as unable to live a normal life after he loses his hearing, he disproves this by seeking work, building relationships, and getting into college for engineering. He is the best boy!

When we first meet Heart, he is very sheltered from the outside world by his parents, who have taken pretty much no effort to understand Heart’s needs or wants since he lost his hearing. He is homeschooled and doesn’t seem to have any friends or sense of community. His parents leave him alone all the time, choosing instead to focus on their work. His bedroom is full of notes that his parents have left him. Hung up on the walls are different sign language posters, clueing the audience into the fact that he taught himself sign language. Over the course of the show, Heart develops a friendship and, eventually, relationship with Li Ming, a boy who works at a chicken rice shop. Li Ming sneaks Heart out of the house, where they do all kinds of things together – participating in a lantern festival, attending a community gathering for deaf folks, and learning how to drive a motor scooter, off the top of my head. While learning how to ride the motor scooter, however, Heart has a small accident and his parents find out about him sneaking out. The confrontation scene is one that is definitely best translated on-screen, but I’ll try to describe it the best I can. Basically, Heart, Li Ming, and Heart’s parents all hash it out. Heart’s parents accuse Li Ming of influencing Heart to disobey them, Li Ming explains that Heart wanted – and is capable of – doing the things they did together, Heart’s parents barely even look at him during the entire exchange, Heart finally gets fed up and tells his parents exactly how they make him feel, and Heart’s parents have to ask Li Ming what Heart was saying. After this confrontation, things get a bit better with Heart’s parents, though not perfect. At the end of the show, Heart and Li Ming travel overseas together, where Heart attends university and Li Ming works, a dream they talk about quite a few times over the course of the show.

He’s the first deaf love interest in a Thai drama! And he has the most adorable love story with another guy called Li Ming in the show who learns sign language in order to communicate with him more effectively. While he faces struggle from his parents being extremely overprotective after he lost his hearing a few years ago (also since he’s still a teenager) it ends up resolved with them changing their mindset and allowing him full freedom. His story shows struggle while not being a tragedy, and he ends the show going to study in America with his boyfriend being really happy <3

Anything Else?:

I feel like it isn't very often we see deaf queer characters, especially not ones who find love and a happy ending!

The qualifications and propaganda paragraphs correspond, @burnsuncomet is the second submitter.

[intrigd-voyagr]

sona lore in the form of ormen yearning,,,

Talking to him about how Unique of a patapon I am. "There's rarely any like me. Ones that don't fit our neat lil 'recipes' of rarepons. And when we do happen, it's... usually some accident, or a mistake in the materials no one caught... so it's almost impossible to replicate. And even if you try to reverse-engineer a weird rarepon... it almost never yields the same result."

Holding one of his hooves, nuzzling him with a purr. "I guess there really is no one like me, huh? Aren't you a lucky Karmen... got the first and only me!"

I'd flick the little wings on my head and flap my gills, tilting my head for a second. "Y'know, they did try to make another patapon like me. I mean, it seems pretty simple, right? I've got some bird and some fish... we have rarepons for both of those! But... it didn't work. 'Cause I've got some other oddities, too."

Letting go of his hoof, I'd hold that hand up for both of us to see, turning it back and forth. "See the little claws I've got? Seem pretty normal, right?"

And I'd suddenly extend them; not quite as full as a cat unsheathing its claws, but definitely a noticeable retraction/extension. "Boom! Semi-retractable claws... even in patapons, neither fish nor birds can do that." I'd chuckle, wrapping my arms back around him. "I'm just a little oddity, aren't I?"

He's got you laying across his lap in his throne. Perhaps your comments were spurred by the way he was examining you unusually closely that day... teasing your fur between his digits, stroking the wings on your head, the gills on your face...

He listens intently as you go into detail about yourself, his hands not once pausing their exploration - at least, until you display those adorable little claws.

He hums, taking your hand in his own, flicking at one of your claws with his own sharp-tipped hoof.

"Luck? No, my dear... Clearly, this all routes to one explanation: You were made for me. A gift from fate itself - an acknowledgement of my greatness by forces unseen, that even they should tremble at my feet."

He speaks with such conviction, as if he'd already put hours of thought into the concept to come to this conclusion. He lifts your hand into the air, extending your arm over his shoulder and leaning forward at the same time so that your faces are mere centimeters apart. His other arm - already looped around you - draws you closer, constricts tighter. There's a wild look to his eye as he looks down at you - it's a swell of hungry desire, of conceit, of assuredness.

To receive such flattery from a man that only thinks of himself... Of course, the manner in which you were receiving it was technically still out of his own self-centeredness, but the value he saw in you was entirely genuine - that you were too perfect, too desirable to leave alone, or let anyone else have.

It should have come as no surprise from the way he gazed down at you when his teeth soon made contact with your flesh, nipping up your arm, to your neck... Tongue creeping out to lap at your cheek, whispering further accolades of himself, how you were destined to be, breathlessly whispering strings of "mine" into your shoulder...

...Gesturing hastily to the guards to get the fuck out and close those damn doors.

[septiccoffeefreak]

So what's the system's singlet-sona like?/hj

Well Tommy is very, very open about our plurality, so usually we don't have to use one- he'll introduce himself to new people as Tommy and right out the gate explains that other people might front later- if someone asks his name he'll say "Tommy! But I'm in a system so someone else might front later and have a different name." just, very casually and openly. This does sometimes backfire, but not as often as some people expect, actually. Our parents and friends all also know.

I also try to be open, but sometimes I get nervous and just don't elaborate or correct anything, so if they assume I'm Tommy I won't say anything out of anxiety, or if they ask my name I'll say Seán and give no further context. I do explain we're plural and stuff about half the time, though; it's something I like being open about, I just have anxiety.

But when around people we already have met who don't and CAN'T know (usually pluralphobic or generally ableist), we just use our AGAB pronouns and the name of our core (that's what we call the person who the body belongs to, so...name given at birth). As for personality and interests we go the route of just...accepting everything, I guess, since plurality can be very covert anyway. The things I'm interested in and the things Tommy's interested in and things we know other people are interested in all get blended up into a blender.

So if Tommy's fronting and someone asks him about horror movies, he'll say, yes, he likes them- even though he specifically doesn't like them at all- and I'll jump in to provide examples or trivia. If I'm fronting and someone asks if I want to go to some crowded busy place with lots of people (because Tommy is an extrovert), I'll just say I'm not in the mood right now or that I'm overstimulated and we can go later. Neither of us are huge into clowns, but we have a collection because of someone else, so if we receive a clown we'll thank the person and talk about how great it'll be for the collection.

this also happens with triggers and boundaries- we phrase all of it as "it depends" and "sometimes" and hide behind vagueness, so nothing is completely contradictory. Tommy likes hugs and physical contact and I don't, so usually we just switch quickly if we see someone is about to hug us, or if I'm given a heads up I'll just say I'm not in the mood right now, etc. instead of saying we do, or don't, like hugs. Nothing is ever 100%, it's always conditional.

There's a lot of near CONSTANT back and forth and interrupting each other to keep this up and it's exhausting; finishing each other's sentences, rushing to fill awkward pauses that happen from hesitation and checking in with each other, passing control of the body like a ball whenever the subject changes and we don't know shit about it- it's incredibly involved. I'm glad we don't have to do this often and usually for short periods, because FUCK.

For longer stretches of time where we have to do this, we'll take frequent bathroom breaks, retreat to secluded areas whenever possible, and change clothes a lot for excuses to duck out and take a moment to recuperate; little walks to the water fountain when we don't actually need water so we can have the silence we need to talk to ourselves in our head and tell each other it's okay, give some encouragement, maybe take a deep breath, and then go back in.

It's awful and I hate it when we have to do that. I loathe the stress and anxiety and being on high-alert, and the constant changing of who's talking or moving the body with no warning at all because "oh fuck someone wants to hug us and oh god they just asked about our SOAD shirt and wait shit they want to know about Tommy's comissions-" (I imagine it's even worse for anyone who doesn't have help, and doesn't host like we do, and just has to make up excuses for not knowing things or not wanting to talk about them.)

And we're terrible liars as well, so this is just about the only option. If we made up a specific character to "act" as, it wouldn't work and I think all we'd accomplish was looking suspicious and possibly splitting someone. Same with picking a specific pre-existing alter, although minus the risk of splitting.

So we didn't consciously make up a specific way to BE in front of known ableist people- a specific persona to act out- we just pretend to be one person like, at all. I don't even know if you can call it a singletsona because of that- it's just lying?? Like the only thing we want to do is hide we're plural, there's no specific characteristics we're trying to keep up, so we just lie about being plural and stay as vague as possible so inconsistencies don't show.

People tend to make up their own way of making things make sense, though, so "just lying" works perfectly fine. Those relatives just think of us as odd, socially awkward, moody, and indecisive, but still singlet. They aren't suspicious, they just decided we're a (singular) weirdo and moved along. And thank God for that, because my religiously traumatized ass could not take having a forced exorcism or something shitty like that because someone decided we're actually demons.

12 YEAR OLD OCS; SIDE B

Flamepaw [Silvia Flowers] (he/him)

Flamepaw is a warrior cats OC, a Thunderclan cat who got abused by his mentor and died to a badger. As a Starclan cat he was revived (by Starclan) to protect this new apprentice who was going to be abused by the same mentor, her name was Bramblepaw (who I actually made earlier, but she has an okay-ish story in another time its sorta mundane). They fell in love and after some moons when theyre made warriors, they have a kit named Faithkit, which, for some reason, Starclan didn't like, because Starclan *loves* making arbitrary rules about romance, and he's banished, but not before his (dead) mom gives him and his family these crystals that let them turn into my "original species" called Drattus (theyre just dragon cats. theyre cats with dragon wings.)

And that is the end of this goobers story, he goes on to leave the clans and find a Drattus colony somewhere idk, he was my sona for awhile! He's goofy but I love him, and I hold him very near and dear to my heart. I have faith he can murder all the mary/gary sues in his path with his dragon cat abilities >:)

Description

A picture of Flamepaw, an orange cat with a lighter muzzle and paws. He has a white tailtip, amber eyes, and dark gold ears. He has a string with a purple crystal around his neck.

Alana [@octonine] (she/her)

She's a girl that lives in a small village in an ice mountain and has fire powers linked to her emotions (specifically anger). And she's really scared of her powers because they could literally destroy the village. Basically inverted Elsa from Frozen.

Honestly I still like this character and I'll probably use her in a story someday but "the sin" here is that, like most OCs made by 12-year-olds (in my case literally 12), she has a really fucking angsty backstory.

The story I was gonna put her in (long abandoned idea) is that she was one of 6 people from different universes that were chosen to stop an evil force or something (I legit don't remember), so her backstory is what happened in that mountain in her universe, and I had three ideas:

1- She had hidden her powers from the townsfolk really well until she... accidentally hurts her sister... and the village discovers her powers... and she's chased by a mob out of the moun- it's basically Frozen if Arendelle was on a mountain, nothing really original.

2- Everyone was aware of her powers but she was still scared of them, until she accidentally KILLS her sister, and the village becomes scared of her (but without the angry mob part), so she flees from the village and tries to survive by herself... in a forest (we have no idea why 12y me wanted to see this poor girl suffer because of her fire powers so much, like why??)

3- She accidentally... burns down her village... to the ground... and only she survives... (THE FUCK 12-YEAR-OLD ME, WHY?? WHAT DID SHE DO TO YOU TO DESERVE THIS??) We've been toning down on the traumatic backstories since then (and stopped torturing our OCs, goddess I'm scared of 12y me).

Okay so I'm gonna refer to her in the third person for this one since it feels kinda weird to use first person, but I may switch between back and forth jfndnd.

So knowing me and my anxious ass, Sunny probably would have heard about Bob a few months prior and obsessively thought about it. She probably would consider not letting her son trick or treat this year at all because she doesn't want him to get killed—but she'd probably feel guilty at the sight of seeing Skid sad and would decide to maybe think about it a little more. Anddddd thinking about it Sunny probably still wouldn't let him go but Skid still needs to leave for plot reasons. So maybe while Sunny is sleeping, Skid ends up fuckin bookin it out of the house or sneaking out—or Sunny reluctantly decides on the last day of October to let someone she trusts watch over Skid and Pump, but would start to panic the moment he left.

As for the first scene Lila has with Bob—Sunny would probably notice him outside and just go dead quiet while looking at him—she'd probably just kinda stand there for a few more seconds before immediately closing the blinds, making pretty damn sure that the door is locked. And then for the telephone scene, she'd probably call Jaune (who my partner has a kinsona of, and who also IS the Jaune in this scenario) in a panic while practically dragging the box to the floor and sitting as low to the ground as possible to be absolutely sure no one sees her. Unsure of why I'd call my partner for help rather than the police but my irrational thoughts tend to make me very panicked sometimes./lh

(Really quickly I imagine my partner, Aaron and Sunny would be in a poly relationship with Sunny not holding any romantic feelings for Aaron—but I'm unsure if it'd happen at this point yet since I kinda want our kinsonas to have the same lil best friends to lovers romance we had lol/lh)

Either way, when Bob somehow presumably breaks in either by breaking the lock or busting the window open, Sunny probably screams and scrambles the fuck out of there (I wouldnt even think about candy or dancing lmfaoo). She probably considers going to the attic to hide, but then realizes that she could possibly use a knife or something in the kitchen as she's running past—so she runs back briefly just to grab one and runs faster because Bob is even closer now.

Bob probably almost grabs her at some point—which causes her to turn back in a panic and slash his face in with the knife she just took. Then as she's distracted she probably almost runs to the attic, but for some reason thinks it'd be way to obvious that she went up there, so she goes to hide in a nearby narrow corridor. Which.. appears to work for some reason, seeing as he goes to check the attic. And once he does, Lila sneaks past it while on the brink of a panic attack, and goes back to where she left the telephone to frantically call the police, but then notices her actual phone in the living room. So she goes to grab it and then runs outside to (text Jaune that shes fine first and—) call the actual police.

When she finishes doing this, she probably tries to get the help of anyone on the sidewalk nearby, or probably already does catch the worry of other people because she's panicking her whole brain out right now. But either way as someone is trying to calm her down or as someone is trying to do something about the situation, John & Jack show up and she tells them about the entire thing in a frenzy. After trying to calm her down, they rush into the house, but of course he's not there. And while that does calm Sunny down a bit, she quickly panics because now she very much knows that Bob is out there.

So after a very panicked conversation with the police, she calls Jaune again—and because her mind is gonna give her the idea of running all the way out around town just to find Skid, she quickly tells Jaune that, but doesn't even let them offer to help at first since she doesn't want them to be endangered. But with enough convincing she agrees to let them—and just tells them to go to one specific part of town so they can meet with her there and go looking around. Sunny also briefly goes back, mostly just to bring a weapon incase they actually do run into Bob (like a gun for example, or a really heavy book since Sunny would own that instead of a ruler since she's a Author—not a architect).

And after a bit of off screen searching around town and getting increasingly more stressed out, Sunny probably breaks down conveniently before they actually find Skid & Pump since I have a habit of always breaking down just before something relieving happens. And as Jaune anxiously tries to calm her, they of course find the kids and Sunny probably sobs a bit while hugging Skid (and also tells Pump through sobs that they need to get him home too but is so panicked she can't explain why). Jaune probably tries to explain, but then Bob shows up like Jesus being revived on the third day, and Sunny backs the fuck up while still holding Skid.

Without thinking, Sunny yells for everyone to run and (yes she looks both ways for plot convenience) runs across the road with Skid in her arms while Jaune follows (carrying Pump). Sunny doesn't stop running and is about in the middle of the sidewalk when the police vehicle runs over Bob. Which causes her to only stop once she's at the end of the sidewalk, look on in horror at the scene and place her hand over Skids eyes. Jaune is probably freaking the fuck out on the other hand when the cops get out and are like "lol u good".

They're both questioned about if they want to sit in the car, and Sunny nearly considers not doing so because she doesn't want Skid to be anywhere near Bob's dead body. But out of exhaustion she agrees to it, and while sniffling, she quickly shuffled to the opposite side of the car and practically shoves herself inside as Jaune (and Pump) get in with them.

While talking with Jaune quietly and trying to make sure Skids actually okay—Bob of course gets up and tries to attack them while they're in the car. Knowing Jaune they'd probably be like "OH SHIT—" and go flying right in my direction. Sunny would scream her ass off, and practically drag Pump closer because of him being so close to the window. And while Bob is screaming, Sunny is probably about to actually rip out whatever useless weapon she brought with her until he gets shot yet again and falls down.

Sunny covers both her ears and Skids ears as gunshots go off, at least until it's over and the cops get in the car. Sunny practically begs to be taken home. But as John is trying to call Patty, Bob practically crawls onto the car—and in pure shock, Sunny can only hold Skid closer while screaming frantic suggestions of what to do. Jack, seemingly hearing the 'RUN HIM OVER—' option Sunny keeps screaming, angrily backs up and runs over Bob several times until he's finally dead.

The cops wait until medics arrive, and once they do, they drive off (with Sunny glancing out all the time even after they've driven several feet away already because she's that scared he'll come back to life again). Once they arrive at her house, she says bye to Jaune (most likely intending on calling them later) and thanks the cops briefly before heading inside.

She's so exhausted from what happened that she probably immediately goes to the couch, but when Skid asks how she used to enjoy Halloween, she probably doesn't give an exact answer for a few minutes (probably having already turned the TV on). But then decides to once she has enough mental strength since it may make her feel better anyway, and she tells Skid about a small grill she went to as a kid during Halloween. But when she realizes that the dude in the picture who eerily looks a lot like the actual guy who attacked her, she nearly panics for a second, but brushes it off at first—thinking she may just be overthinking things. But her mind starts to obsess over it and make it worse.

Sunny puts a movie on for Skid, who lays on her lap. But her thoughts become even worse, so she decides to text Jaune about it for emotional support, or texts one of her friends about it.

Andddd that's it for TT but if anyone wants to add their own kinsonas into the mix they can 👀

[gay-disabled-characters-showdown]

LGBTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 1, Wave 4, Poll 13

A character being totally canon LGBTQ+ and disabled was not required to be in this competition. Please check qualifications and propaganda before asking why a character is included.

Check out the other polls in this wave and prior here.

Leonardo-The Way He Looks / Hoje Eu Quero Voltar Sozinho

Qualifications:

He is Blind and Gay (both Canon)

Propaganda:

Leo is charming but at the same time a complete mess, I love him

Charlotte Webber / Sun Spider-Marvel

Qualifications:

Charlie is canonically disabled and canonically queer, having EDS and being pansexual. She was originally a spider-sona created by a fan, Dawn Broder, who is agender and disabled.Unlike most disabled characters in superhero media, Charlie stays disabled even after gaining her powers! She uses crutches and a wheelchair, both of which are used alongside her webslinging. Her crutches have webslingers inside them, meaning she uses them to get around even while being sun-spider, and Across The Spider-verse shows her wheelchair being able to help her climb on walls and similar as well. Charlie's story also covers issues faced by disabled people! When an emergency happens at her prom, she's reminded that if she wasn't a spider-person she would be left behind as the others evacuate, which is something that's common irl as well.

Charlotte Webber (Sun-Spider) has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and is an ambulatory wheelchair and crutch user. As shown in the comics she is also queer! She was created by Dayn Broder, a queer disabled comics editor and writer who also has EDS. Sun-Spider’s screentime in Across The Spiderverse was awesome especially the design of her wheelchair. She has web-shooters equipped in her crutches which she uses to fight with. She’s just so fucking cool and hopefully gets more inclusion in comics in the future.

Propaganda:

Charlie is SO important to me as a disabled person because she shows that we can be superheroes while still being disabled, we don't have to have our disabilities taken away to be super. She's also a very fun character! She's funny!

Mostly what I said in the last section, but once again she’s so cool and her wheelchair in ATSV is so sick (when she is not using it it follows her with sort of mecha spider legs).

CHEV CAN GO INTO HEAT??? WHAT IN THE OMEGAVERSE-

((ASDFGHKLLAONDND ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE I PROMISE!!

I'll explain under the cut!! Its a bit personal, TMI, and possibly triggering))

So Chev is based off of myself and my experience with my mental illness/disorders and physical illnesses

I've recently come to terms that I have hypersexuality, and have had it since I was little. It's a mental disorder that makes it hard to function in everyday life most of the time. (idk what caused it, but it could be a plethora of things. Its usually caused by abuse or neglect, which I have experienced throughout my teenaged years. I'm in a better place now though!)

I sometimes go through long periods of time where I have "flare ups", and absolutely can't think or function properly. I sometimes joke that I "go into heat" during these times, and my bf has also jokingly referred to me as a "secret succubus".

With that being said, I decided to put my hypersexuality onto Chev, along with her going into heat because she's half demon. (Because let's be real, we all force our traumas and mental illnesses onto our ocs lmao) it's kinda like a coping mechanism for me.

And of course I'm not gonna do anything lewd with Chev or do oc x canon nsfw with her, since she is practically my sona and looks exactly like how I did a few years ago when my hair was longer. I just wanna torture her and give her as much pain as possible, while also making her stronger for it lmao

Chev also hasn't told any of the creeps about her hypersexuality or her heat cycle, so there's a low chance of anything happening anyway. Though, there might be some demons out there who can just smell it on her, so there's that I guess

I also kinda wanted to spread more awareness of hypersexuality. It's not a hot and quirky thing that makes you a slut or an "easy lay", or whatever, and it also doesnt mean you're a sex maniac that can't control themselves. That's purely on the person who has the disorder. The disorder itself is pretty tricky because theres not a whole lot of resources for us, and if you're a woman seeking help to control it, doctors most of the time don't give a shit. I mean, hypersexuality in women just means the possibility of more babies running around and that's the whole reason for a women's existence, right?? (This is sarcasm btw. I'm so fucking tired, yall)

And side note, idk how I made it through the 2010s without knowing much about the omegaverse, but I recently did some research on it a couple weeks ago because of a fanfic I was reading LMAO. I'm not really into the alpha/omega/beta stuff, but the heat/rut stuff was interesting to me

Sorry this was so long, I just have a lot to say about this subject 👉👈

First Encounter

-Eddie Gluskin x Dementia Grimm (my 'sona)- First time writing a fic, so I hope it wasn't too bad^^'' ----------------------------- "Oh I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old dad. She was a pearl and the only girl, that daddy ever had~"

Such spirited singing woke Dementia from her slumber, it had been so long since she heard anyone in the same level where her locked room was. Occasionally screams and running, but someone singing, having a coherent thought? It was new. She got up from her bed and weakly stumbled closer to the door, sitting next to the slot people used to push her meals through. Whoever was singing, their voice was pleasant, even beautiful in it's own way. She sat there, listening to it, almost hypnotized until the singing stopped. Disappointed, she tried to peek through the slot in the door, only to see a man at the end of the hallway, talking to himself.

"It's so hard to find a good woman these days huh? I try and try and they all want to leave me…" The man said, frustrated, a mad tinge in his voice.

Well, to Dementia, madness made sense, this was a place where they locked mad people up after all… Mad or people who were just different, in her case. She kept looking at the man, wishing he'd sing more, only to see him almost starting to make his way back, away from her level.

"H-hello! Please don't leave!" She wasn't even sure herself why she suddenly called out to him, the words left her mouth before she could even think…

The man turned around the instant he heard her, making his way to the end of the hallway, his form tall and intimidating.

"Such a delicate voice I hear! Darling, were you hiding from me?" The man's charming voice asked, before Dementia saw the door shake just a little, meaning he tried to open it rather roughly.

"Locked? LOCKED? Did you lock yourself there so I can't get in? Do I disgust you that much?" His voice demanded answers, sounding angry, betrayed. Normal people would have been terrified, but Dementia was already numb to most emotions, to her his anger was not that bad, just a misunderstanding. She coughed and tried to answer, clearly not used to talking so her fragile voice had a slight rasp to it.

"I didn't lock myself here… I'm trapped here."

Her explantion seemed to calm the man down instantly, he even stopped trying to force the door open.

"Trapped? Did those filthy jack-booted fucks trap you in there dearest? How awful, how pitiful… Worry not darling, I'll free you in no time." His voice was back to being charming again, even humming as he studied the locks on the door. His confidence lit the tiniest flame of hope inside Dementia, she would do anything if it meant getting out of her room, out of this horrible place.

"Y-you can open the locks? Really?" She asked, needing more words of confirmation from him, not even caring how overly familiar he sounded, or how he kept calling her 'darling'.

"Of course I can! This is like Prince Charming saving a princess from a tower, what a perfect start to our lovestory, don't you think darling? Oh I can see others being so envious of such a passionate start of our love…" The man rambled, taking out some sewing needles, bobby pins and safety pins, checking each of them out before starting his work on the door.

"So this man has decided that he's in love with me… How unusual…" Dementia thought to herself, leaning against the door. The thought of such a person helping her didn't annoy her, for her freedom, she can try and be whatever that man wanted her to be.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a soft chuckle from the other side of the door.

"Seeing this predicament, it's like you've been made a gift for me. A delicacy to be unwrapped and… Unwrapped again. And savored…." His voice turned intense towards the end of his sentence, even slightly lustful, it was so obvious the man himself coughed a few times before continuing.

"Oh my, pardon me darling, I didn't mean to be vulgar already, but well… You know how a man gets when he's in love and all, don't you?"

Dementia was silent, trying to think of an answer to his question. She actually had never been in love, nor had she seen men in love… She had seen some of the doctors and nurses looking at her, but the lust in their eyes was primal, just a need to use her and discard her. The man behind the door though, he did not seem similar, speaking so much of love, working to free her, it was very different.

"… I actually do not know. No one's ever loved me, nor have I ever been in love before…" She quietly answered, causing the man to stop his work for a moment.

"… Darling… I had no idea I'm your first love! Oh this is beyond my wildest dreams! Do not worry darling, I'll always treasure you and teach you all about love~" He exclaimed with joy, continuing his work with the lock with even more vigor.

His excitement was kinda… Cute. At least that's how Dementia saw it as she listened to the sounds of him working and humming.

"… What's your name, mister?" She asked, genuinely curious now.

"You don't know my… Oh, oh I forgot to introduce myself, didn't I? Eddie you doofus! I swear, I'd forgot my own head if it wasn't screwed on." He said, chuckling at his own forgetfulness and then he was stunned, for Dementia giggled at his sillyness. Her laughter was like the ringing of the most delicate bells, tickling something in his heart.

"… Eddie, my name is Eddie Gluskin, my dear." He introduced himself after getting a hold of himself.

It had been a while since Dementia had laughed at anything, so she ended up coughing a little before reciprocating his introductions.

"Hi Eddie, I'm Dementia. Dementia Grimm… Sorry for giggling, you were just a little silly.."

"As long as you like me being silly, there is nothing to apologize for darling." Eddie said, not mad at all, how could he be mad at hearing such a soft and feminine giggle. It was perfect for him, someone with a voice like that, couldn't possibly be ugly, maybe she didn't even need 'fixing'…

"What a unique name you have darling, but well, it only makes sense for my bride to be one of a kind, doesn't it? Oh I will make you so happy…"

As Eddie continued to ramble, Dementia kept patiently listening, wondering about the world outside her room, and what would happen when the door finally opened? Considering how everyone there was a patient, maybe this man was dangerous too… Well, there was no maybe, he deffinitely was, but for some reason she wasn't scared, she was even looking forward to seeing this man's face. To seeing Eddie's face…

WAIT WAIT I DID THIS WITH A SORORITY SONA THOUGH

Okay only slightly related but I had this friend once, Ash, and we used to work on the jobsite together, right? We were in construction and were on the jobsite together. And one fateful break we were like doing stupid voices and we decided to do like popular girl/valley girl/sorority voices. And after like half an hour I was fucking stuck in this voice.

Now I'd like you to imagine a four-foot gender fucky man limping around the jobsite and his friend, a five foot something person with their hair tied up under their hard hat. Standing on the jobsite. Leaning on the foundation of a half-framed house (we were building the foundation off the ground). Speaking in the most girly voices possible.

And yeah we went the whole nine yards too. My sona was Bethany and hers was Jessica and if anyone tried to get us confused we'd correct them instantly. We'd, like, joke about fictional drama in our fictional friend groups. Brittany was dating Kevin and it was a whole scandal. We'd just be standing there and I'd finish framing a wall to stand up and go "Like, oh my gosh, Jessica, did you hear about what Brittany was saying yesterday?" and they'd go "Oh totes Bethany, everyone's heard. She's never gonna dump Kevin, though, no matter what she says" and I'd go "but Jess, he like, forgot her birthday, that's like, totes atroc" (pronounced like "atrocious" if you cut it off halfway through saying it). Especially because Kevin was soooo out of her league and he was just using her anyways because everyone says Brittany is easy which, rude, and also it's not their business if Brittany wants to sleep around, she's got free will and she's consenting so it's fine and neither of these people were real but me and my friend just kept going like this.

Anyways Kevin ended up in jail, it took me a solid hour to actually stop doing the voice because I was physically stuck, Ash and I broke up a year later and I eventually changed job pathways so Bethany never returned

Plural Asking 100 Questions: Part 7!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

61. When did you first discover your System? we're still pretty new to this! we celebrated our 3 month syscovery anniversary just last week! :D (we gotta celebrate the little things, gang, it gives us something to look forward to hkjhg :])

62. How many Members did you know about during your Syscovery? maybe about 19 out of the current 25, more or less? we know jaded and mom came later, at least, and it took us a little to consider core as an actual member. fun fact, Distance was actually part of the original line-up, then (fittingly ->) convinced us Distance didn't exist and removed herself from the fucking list hkjgh like!! i know that's your job but STOP PRETENDING YOU DON'T EXIST HKGJH

63. Was accepting your Plurality a challenge for you? LMAO BUDDY IT STILL IS!! i don't want to jinx it, but i think Harlowe might be coming around? though she definitely still uh. causes the occasional turmoil, she hasn't been as adamant these days. then again, she usually only brings it up in the mornings, and our sleep schedule got re-fucked up so we're usually not awake around that time hkjhg ough we'll see. in the meantime, we've mostly come around to it?

64. How did you learn about Plurality? we've had several system friends before, so we learned a lot of terminology and acceptance from them!! though we think a lot of them were anti-endo so... wishing them well, nevertheless?? hkjhg but we first learned about plurality in 2016 maybe?

65. Where there any signs of your Plurality, if you look back at your past? we've always preferred using we and we tend to think in dialogue! we liked giving ourselves different names and chatting like we do in bullet points (when we were young, we made like, several sonas who all talked to each other to work through our problems hkjhg and then we watched sander s!des and made personal ones for that too. goddamn we sure were comfortable with breaking ourselves into different facets hkjh) also lmao look at this shit:

^ what the fuck bro hkjhg NO SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK BRO HKJHG??? my god we can't even comment on this, like hjkghgk

66. Do you think your Syscovery changed a lot in your life? outwardly, no, since we're still singlet-sona-ing it up in almost all other aspects of our life. but inwardly, its changed a lot about how we think. we chatter a lot more than we used to hkjgh it gets really loud in here. ([personally, it means i need to be stricter on the secrets we keep.] - 🌫️)

67. If you're out to others as plural, have they ever told you later on that they already thought about it before you realized? we're not out to many people as plural, and we have no idea if they thought we were plural before :P

68. What was the biggest struggle during your Syscovery? lmao HEAVY denial, from MANY of us, not even just harlowe. maestro has this whole lack of control thing ("i actually always think like this. all of these thoughts are mine and i'm in perfect control of all of them, so we can't be plural") that still isn't fully resolved. someone thought it felt too much like fiction? like roleplaying with ourselves, controlling characters.

oh lmao we're looking back at our doc we made when we were questioning and it is just a lot of floundering hkjhg we were just. so very unsure of ourselves for a while. but! we got through it! still getting through it hkjghg

69. Was there any big event that led to your Syscovery? lmao 69 nice, anyway, two big ones: 1) we read A Cracked Foundation by UnstableAnatomy which completely changed our brain chemistry lmao. like. kim in denial that he has skills. this will surely say nothing about us hkjgh it kinda set the foundation (heh) before: 2) we tried to make personal disco skills. and by trying to figure out "different parts of my personality to make into skills" we accidentally identified ourselves and gave ourselves names and solidified our presence. whoops, plural time babey!

70. What is something you want questioning plurals to know? WE LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE SO COOL AND EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCES ARE DIFFERENT!! just because you don't fit into the descriptions that everyone says about plurality doesn't mean you're not plural! we're a blurry monoconscious median system with no specific host and a very hazy headspace and we all like talking together because we're hard to separate distinctly! AND WE'RE STILL PLURAL!! a lot of our experiences are rarer in the community, and going into this we thought we weren't valid! BUT WE ARE!! AND SO ARE YOU, no matter how different your experiences may be from the norm, because everyone has their own unique situations!! please take your time figuring it out, you've got time! YOU ARE COOL, YOU ARE LOVED, IF YOU FEEL LIKE PLURALITY FITS YOU, THEN GO FOR IT!!!
