#true love and respect.. that's why they're my favourite flowers too

[taegularities]

tw: super vague, non-descriptive mentions of toxic relationships and childhood trauma

so i will fully admit that cmi inspired this and then my brain just ran with it. i grew up in a house where my parents had (and still have) just a very toxic, unhealthy marriage, and i developed a lot of childhood trauma around that. ironically, it turned me into a hopeless romantic, and i very much clung to love stories in books and movies as a means of proving to myself that "love" didn't have to look like that, and now my love of love stories is, i feel, fundamental to who i am as a person.

i didn't know much about forget-me-nots before cmi, but their meaning of truest love, devotion, and respect just RESONATED, hence how i arrived here. i meant this as a tribute to all of the love stories that have kept me going, but it's always gonna remind me of the cmi babies first and foremost since they inspired it. 💙

are. you. fkn. kidding. me.

ari 😭

look, i'm so sleep deprived and this week was long, so i'm already vulnerable af.. so imagine how our local crybaby (it me) might be looking at her phone rn. LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS, this is the best thing ever, it's as if you pulled a cmi!jk by doing this?? how truly romantic and sweet is that 😭

and ugh ari, i so understand what you're talking about. my family and i have an incredibly loving and respectful relationship with each other now, but there were incredibly rough times growing up and i know they shape us as people.. like i still feel affected by them. so i'm so sorry you had to go through all that, but i'm also so proud that you didn't let it destroy you as a person, that requires a shit ton of courage and you've always struck me as strong af — and so lovely and emphatic. staying true to your tattoo, never forget who you are, how fond you are of those stories and how they affect you.. they're truly so much more valuable than one might think.

god ari, the way i'm trying not to answer this entire ask in capslock. no seriously, i am so fucking flattered and honoured and i will never, never take this for granted. i never knew cmi would ever have such an impact on anyone, so to know it's able to give so much comfort and stay in y'all's memory is.. absolutely insane. thank you for this, i am genuinely lost for words :((( i love you so much and i hope you're living your best life with the healthiest relationships; will always remember this lil bit gesture :(( 🤍

＊✿ It's Melly!! ✿＊

I just realized that I haven't talked about her much on my blog. Time to fix that.

(Text cut for aesthetic purposes)

Bear in mind that she kinda evolved from "splatsona" to "OC who shares a lot of things with me (but not everything!) and still represents me sometimes but is mostly her own character now"

❥ Mélusine (full name Mélusine Larchipel) is 20 years old and goes by she/her. Her height is 166 cm, aka 5'5. She's autistic and pansexual.

❥ She's all academics, no street smarts. She's rather shy, overly polite, and has trouble voicing her opinions (as well as socializing in general). Her enthusiasm and eccentricities regularly slip through the cracks of her demure appearance.

❥ Melly moved to Inkadia around 10 years ago (making her multilingual as a result), but she still hasn't gotten used to everything because she would mostly spend her time inside without interacting much with other people. She's only recently started to open up, and she uses ink sports and tableturf as a way to do so.

❥ Her mom is a surface Octoling, but her dad is a Cirraling (which is my fan species of cirrate octopuses). That makes her half-grimpoteuthis! The reason why it matters is that the top design isn't her true appearance. The bottom one is what she looks like all-natural.

(Older drawings for comparison)

❥ Due to the biological differences of cirrate octopuses, her chromatophores and her ink sac are a bit underdeveloped. It takes roughly 15 minutes of light exposure for her chromatophores to be able to change colour and roughly 30 minutes in darkness for her to revert back to her natural colour.

❥ She's a bit insecure about her differences, so that's why she disguises herself as a regular Octoling. In fact, her hairstyle is meant to make her ears look smaller since she would get teased for them as a kid.

❥ This character is pretty much a metaphor for masking, when you think about it

❥ Now! Being part-dumbo has its perks, such as better night vision, but it also has its downsides. Remember when I said that her ink sac was underdeveloped? Because of that, she has to focus almost all of her gear abilities into ink saving.

❥ And that combined with her being unable to play anything other than brushes means that Melly REALLY sucks at Salmon Run. She sucks so much that her teammates kept complaining, and she ended up getting kicked out of Grizz Co. She doesn't mind it too much, though, because she's happy earning money with turf war and sewing. Not to mention that the whole business looks really shady anyway.

❥ Going back to brush weapons! Melly has a weird obsession with them. She owns all of the available ones on the market and will only listen to Sheldon's rambles if they're about brush weapons (if they aren't, she will immediately zone out)

❥ She's named Mélusine after the fairy from the eponymous myth. Mélusine is a spirit of fresh water who was cursed to become a serpent from the waist down every Saturday. So! Not only does it have a water theme, but it reflects her appearance-changing deal. She likes her full name, and her family uses it on a regular basis. The reason why she mostly goes by "Melly" is because it's easier for her friends to pronounce.

❥ Her favourite band is Chirpy Chips, and her favourite song from them is Shellfie. She's also a big fan of Raian (guess where that came from) and has a celebrity crush on them.

❥ Her favourite show and videogame are called "Magical Mumi Uni-chan" and "Coral Village 2" respectively.

❥ She loves blueberry pies and hates walnuts for their dry aftertaste (macadamia nuts are more up her alley)

❥ She developed emetophobia as a kid after a severe bout of salmonella.

❥ She really likes flowers as well as lolita fashion and does sewing as a hobby.

❥ While not visible in this drawing, she has some webbing between her fingers (which are tainted purple)

❥ Her shoes are punk whites with ruffle socks.

❥ And last but not least: Melly is based on this specific octopus! She's also very interested in the deep sea and likes to search for books about it.

Thank you for your interest!!

Here are some silly gifs

Watching Three Houses!!

Live blogging it! (And it got long)

I love Susan's dress so much

Sadie's little wave!

Dave Malloy, I love you so much every time you put instruments on stage

BIRCH TREES!!!! The birds section is so incredibly beautiful, one of my favourite parts

AND THE BIRCH TREES STAND LIKE GHOSTS

Pookie, my beloved. She's so cute

I FILLED THE HOUSE WITH MUSIC

I love her voice change for "and there's no one to tell me to turn it down"

I love them all dancing

"Have you ever fallen in love with someone by looking at their books?"

As someone who loves sorting his books, Susan is very relatable, and that part really scratches my brain

Honestly, I need a full list of all the references and symbolism for the Three Little Pigs

Octet reference!!

This show has great instrumentations/orchestration (? Idk which one it is). Ig like most malloysicals lol

"Fuck around and find out"

I love the crystal soul contemplation. Can't really have a malloysical without some contemplating about souls now can you?

This is so cringe, but every time I heat the "crazy? I'm crazy for feelings. " I think of that même "crazy? I was crazy once, etc"

Scary Pookie

Ohhh, I am Not Ready for the Berries and the Plums....

I was not ready.

"That's alright, Susan. After all, who says it's true" INSANE

THE WOOLF'S SWEATER!! Need it

Sadie, I love you so much. I'm very jealous of her flower suit

Beckett, what is wrong with you (affectionate)

The desert is such a fun song. AND THE HOUSE WAS FUCKING GREAT!! BIG BRASS BED!

All Dave Malloy knows is write beautifully about observing stars, and I EAT IT UP EVERY TIME

As someone who plays a lot of sims and acnh, this hits way too close to home

Props to the actors for when they have to act for the creechers (Pookie, Zippy, Shelob), especially for the voices they do

HURDY GURDY!! What a great instrument, Sadie's so right to be obsessed with it

Grandpa's speel about respecting wood and the instruments reminds me of how in Monk (Ghost Quartet) David plays the last piano in the world because the gods have decreed that we don't treat music as holy enough

They really captured the vibes of acnh villagers, got to love the jock villagers <3

Planking really does make your mind go blank, Zippy's right

NO SADIE, YOU'RE STILL ALIVE. YOU HAVE TO LIVE, YOU HAVE TO LIVE

Why would you give Zippy alcohol 😭😭

God, too soon destroyed me on my first listen

"The Kareoke Incident"

Smh the crowd judging Zippy for wanting a mental health day and setting boundaries

The Quarters thing never happened to me, but to be honest, it definitely feels like a thing that could've happened to me... Dave Malloy, get out of my brain

Man, the second house hits way too close to home

Is the Wolf song just for the album??

"Would you like a brick?" *doesn't wait for an answer, drops a brick on the table*

Yay I can't wait for Beckett and how Not Okay he is <3 (just like all of them lmao)

I love the beef between him and the Wolf

I've been listening a lot to New life, as a motivation sort of thing (ignore what happens right after)

They're all such losers <3 (him giggling about his bachelor pad)

The music in the third house really does make you feel like you're in a basement

The crowd (justifiably) laughing at how bad Beckett's living conditions are 😭

Love the Irish melodies so much

Every time Beckett is going crazy I get flashbacks to Little God (love you J D Mollison)

Love always leaves you is probably my favourite song atm

God the visitor just shatters my heart

CLOCHÁN TIME CLOCHÁN TIME

Susan and Backett doing the same gesture for tracing the tumour that ended up in me!

Godddd wolf dance!!!!!! Susan and Sadie dancing with him (Sadie running to hug him-), but Beckett hiding

I am so so normal about this musical.

"Three little pigs isn't about architecture you know"

Respect your demons. Respect your wolf. And call your sister. The three main lessons you need tbh

Ahhhh them blowing down the brick house from inside!!!!

Just noticed that Sadie has pigtails

I read on Genius that in later versions Beckett didn't put down his grandma's crystal on the table with the rest of the stuff and the implications of that are driving me crazy

Dave Malloy really knows how to finish off a musical in a way that leaves you satisfied and with hope and love for the world

He really delivered, it is so so good and I won't shut up about it for a while

I went through the fluff tag but there's a lot idk what to read. thank you for your time !!! 🌷💗 have a nice day :)

Hello, sweetie!

Okay, I’m not sure if you’re aware, but pretty much like 90% of what I ever read is fluff… so picking just a few favorites of mine is like the most difficult thing ever and I can’t believe you’re actually asking me to do this, god… but alright!

Somehow I managed to pick just 10 of my favorite not-too-long fluffy fics aaand… here they are :) 

*

Nights in the Snow by iamjustakiddoSummary: All the infinite sadness, the desperation. All the breathless nights, the rush to the sky, reaching for the stars. Ink-stained fingers, bubbly laughter and a single tear. The taste of marijuana and sweet Rooibos-tea. All the ludicrousness and sensibility- that’s what Isak tasted. That’s all Even was pieced together from and what Isak wanted to drown in.

will you share your soul with me? by hippopotamus Summary: There’s a school camping trip at the beginning of Isak’s second year. He’s not sure why he agrees to go, especially when he remembers how difficult it is for him to sleep anywhere that isn’t his own bed. It turns out he’s not the only insomniac on the trip. 

The Hot Muffin Thief by Bellakitse Summary: There is a magical muffin at the café where Isak’s buddy Jonas works. It’s Isak’s lifeline, he has it every day and then one day some hot art hipster steals his muffin.

True or False by iriswests Summary: Seven moments between Isak and Even (+1 with Sonja), ranging from the ages of four and six to the ages of seventeen and nineteen, respectively. 

the region of the summer stars by thekardemomme Summary: Someone keeps sending Isak flower bouquets and Even happens to work in a flower shop.

Right in Front of My Salad by cuteandtwistedSummary: “Let me guess. You’re the type of guy who eats salad,” said Isak. “Among other things,” Even winked. Or Isak doesn’t believe in love until he meets the new cashier at the supermarket who makes him realize that vegetables aren’t actually that bad.

A Collection of Even & Isak’s First Kiss AU Shorts by fandomlimbSummary: A collection of short ‘first kiss’ oneshots. Or, what if Evak’s first kiss had gone down differently.

can’t you feel my heart beat fast, i want this to last by ourlovelybonesSummary: Saturday nights are for staring at beautiful things and falling in love with you.

I Ducking Love You by wyoheartsmusicSummary: “MISSED CONNECTION - You were the boy sitting on this park bench, I was the guy fighting a duck for my pants and losing.” Or, Even has a disagreement with a duck and Isak and Even fall in love along the way.

a constant state of closeness by chevythunderSummary: “What is it about this dude, anyway?” Elias asks. “You’ve barely even talked to him, right?” “I don’t know,” Even says. “I just got this feeling, you know? Just- I want to make sure he’s okay and safe and… stuff.” * It starts with a hug.

I hope you like them and have a lovely weekend, dear! ♥♥♥
