#ty for the ask btw!

[vintage-fuzz]

"fiddleford doesnt like emma as much as he likes ford" is cool but have you considered the "emma is cool with it" au just fiddleford and emma in bed and fiddleford is just staring at the ceiling and emmas like "You thinking about that man again? Just go ask him out! You know Im alright with that." And fidds is like "He is just so DENSE emma, I hand knitted him some gloves and he did nothing, did not take the hint." emma shakes her head "Lord help him, he'll figure it out one day."

"Emma I don't think even the good lord can help that man" then they laugh, roll credits. do you see my vision

Honestly, I love the vision & this most definitely the healthiest possible outcome for everyone involved, however, I do think that part of the appeal is that internal conflict present in Fiddleford.

His wavering commitment to his family & his values versus his commitment to Ford & their project, & with it, his potential feelings for Ford. The ambivalence present in such a dichotomy adds a layer of complexity & sense of profound tragedy to their already devastating relationship.

But yeah, best case scenario they’d all be able to work it out & be on friendly terms with one another. I wish that were the case just so they’d be spared from the truly awful reality of their canon situation.

It’s so nice to have you back! Can you draw some Sing primates? Gorillas, chimpanzees, howler monkeys, baboons, orangutans, proboscis monkeys—anything you want!

HEY THANKS! good to be back. Dunno how long it’ll last but I’m making the most of it while I’m here. Anyway the orangutan that works with Alfonso is cute as frick to me

[audinosaur]

Give me your favourite semishira song!! This is a hold up!!

don't do it man! i'll tell you everything i swear!!

it's either cooler than me by mark posner (i've said it before and i'll say it again) or crush culture by conan gray!

both of which i can imagine an older, famous singer/songwriter semi eita performing at a concert about his snooty ex boyfriend then locking eyes with said snooty (and pretty) ex boyfriend and then falling in love again :))

Bellumbeck is such an interesting final boss, because not only is it your ally, some of the bosses actions/details make it clear that Linebeck is fighting back. Retraining Ciela instead of killing her, using moves he's seen Link do, and more darkly in the manga - willing to destroy himself if it protects Link. Link is forced to fight not just an ancient evil - but one of the closest friends he's ever made besides Tetra, and one of the few adult figures he respects. To fight Linebeck is to potientially lose another mentor as was with The King of Red Lions

Bellumbeck is so… he really stands out from pretty much all of the other final bosses and its so cool- and it’s like you say, Bellumbeck is not just some final form of varying flavors of Evil Thing or a dangerous character whose defeat the world would benefit from, that’s your fucking friend. It doesn't feel heroic like other final bosses, it feels like a desperate fight for the survival of you and your friends.

Linebeck being capable of fighting back or otherwise resisting Bellum is an interesting one; definitely a fun way to give him some sort of agency or role to play, suggesting that he may be fighting against Bellum just as hard as Link is. I think I've seen some people suggest that the slight hesitation or pause before some of Bellumbeck's attacks may be caused by Linebeck trying to stop himself (like the manga shows him doing).

I absolutely ADORE the idea that Bellumbeck uses a spin attack because it's something that Linebeck has seen Link do. The idea that it might be unconscious, or something Bellum just happened to pick up on from Linebeck's memories... UGH it's good no matter how you justify it.

On the other hand, I personally don't see how Linebeck fighting back would've had an effect on Bellum restraining rather than killing Ciela. I understand stuff like a hitch in the attacks or unconsciously influencing what attacks are made, since all of that is stuff that Linebeck has a direct (though unwilling) hand in, but Bellum grabbing Ciela is something that... Bellum individually does. I don't imagine that Linebeck would be able to have any ability to influence what Bellum himself does, especially considering that even if he can affect the part he's directly involved in it's only ever a small effect. Bellum restraining rather than killing Ciela is, I think, a deliberate choice on Bellum's part without any input from Linebeck, and honestly even that way it's still interesting to think about.

The manga's take on events is interesting, especially with the idea that, to some degree, Linebeck was able to overpower Bellum in order to move how he wanted (even though it was clearly limited to only specific parts and with clear difficulty) and the idea that he'd do... well, anything he can to ensure Link's safety is pretty good.

The general concept of a Link having to fight a possessed person isn't really new and wasn't new when Phantom Hourglass rolled around, but I honestly think ph did it best, holy shit. Link having to fight a close friend and someone in a role akin to a mentor to him is already one hell of a devastating setup, but one extra thing I've seen others point out is that the Bellumbeck fight is the second time Link's be faced with a sword fight with another human, and he ended the first one by killing his opponent. So, that's a fun correlation for Link to make during this fight!

Bellumbeck is just... it's such a cool, unique battle even compared to the other final bosses, and while it may fall short in difficulty or gameplay, it has some fantastic music and all of the story and character surrounding it is honestly amazing.

Theories on Cyn and the Solver?

I'm a firm "Cyn is actually possessed fully by the absolute solver" believer.

But I do think she's simply far too gone to get back

Perhaps embracing the goal of pure destruction

Though it's not exactly very clear on whether the solver wants total destruction or just biological life wiped from the universe.

Now it could be entirely possible that there are multiple solver programs with different motives if I'm being honest. it could be a cool concept!

Cyn wise..I do think there's some part of her that genuinely cared for Tessa and N back in the manor (perhaps V and J too) before her mistreatment and solvers manipulation pulled her too far

For the rest of the drones, like Uzi

I believe it's implied that if solver is dormant in a drone it activates during a traumatic moment that scrambles their CPU

Such as Uzi getting stabbed by N's wing and getting left to die or when Doll witnessed her parents die

They must have an incredibly strong motive as well?

Anyway I believe solvers true abilities are only truly awakened if a drone tries oil, which they'll start craving after it's first start up.

Every drone probably has a different solver appearance. Usually with wings and a tail

Though some don't go full zombie drone mode.

I believe at first, solver will protect it's host and make their wants more apparent. Stopping at nothing to get their host what they want

If they start using the solver more. It gives the program/administrator better opportunity to possess said drone. When they're worn out from using solver so much.

But who knows this could just be crazed rambling!

Opinion on kittails?

gonna be 100% honest: i’m not a fan of it

i can understand the appeal but it’s not really my thing, especially after idw 67 where it’s shown that kit is still laser focused on killing tails

i don’t think those two could even be friends, ngl (they probably will end up being somewhat friendly to each other tho, it is a sonic comic)

if we’re looking at it through a lens of how the characters canonically are, it’s someone suffering with extreme imposter syndrome dating the person who is causing him to feel like an imposter. when surge says that she can’t live while sonic is still alive, i’m assuming kit feels the same way towards tails so uh-

i’m not saying “you can’t ship this it’s bad!!!”. again, i understand the appeal, just not my cup of tea

but uh ye 👍 opinions

for tati <3 wound, skin, secret

wound: How does your OC handle being wounded? Are their wounds mostly physical? Mental? Emotional? What's the worst wound your OC has ever experienced? i think tati is actually a big baby. if there’s a scale between pain vs pleasure, i think she is always going to seek out pleasure rather than pain! that being said! i think she’s most likely to get emotionally wounded from someone she loves/trusts betraying her—either with their words or actions skin: How comfortable is your OC in their skin? Do they grapple with anything that lives inside them—a beast, a curse, a failure, a monster? How do they face the smallest, weakest, most horrible version of themself? Are they able to acknowledge it at all?

tati is weirdly comfortable in her skin for a teenager—i think she’s had a lot of uplifting affirmations from external sources like her mother, gia, and maybe even vance! but i think she does deal with insecurity in terms of feeling like she has to perfrom feminity to be perceived as pretty/enough (on a romantic level anyway!) but she’s most comfortable in baggy hand-me-downs and thriftstore finds! :’)

secret: What's one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them? [redacted] ok i couldn’t resist! i think a secret i’m willing to share about her is that she’s bored all of the time. it’s the kind of boredom that’s dangerous because it stems from everything in her life being too stable, too comfortable. and it might, or might not, get her into some trouble when she tries to break out of that boredom >:)

*A white door appears in a nearby alleyway and a gardevoir that both looks and feels just a bit off like they weren't normal. The gardevoir has a bag slung over their shoulder. they look over and see shadow and wesn* Guinevere: hello there you two, I am Guinevere, I was simply viewing what was going on and decided to give some piece of mind. You know the phrase after the rain comes the rainbow well it is indeed true no matter how bad things get. I remember when I got stuck in a place that could arguably be called hell but I weathered through it and found my in happiness. Here let me get you something *she pulls a phone like object* if you ever need to contact for help me just use this. oh also have these sandwiches having some food may calm your nerves. I know it does when it comes to me

[apologies for the doors that's just how my characters travel from place to place]

"E-eh?" The Sneaslviper was confused at first. The interesting entrance caught him off guard.

Thankfully, Shadow hopped in where Wesn would need an extra moment.

"Oh, thank you! It'll be okay I think now. We got outta somewhere and since we ran away so far, it should be okay, right?"

"Y-yeah! Sorry for that earlier. Since you're out now, you're okay at least, right- Oh!"

"Oh, thank you!"

"Thanks!"

[New Item!]

[Odd Device]

[An interesting device given by Guinevere. Shadow and Wesn don't seem to know how to use it, but it's the sentiment that counts, right? Maybe they'll figure it out later.]

[+ Two sandwiches]

"The sun's going down! Should we go back?"

"Yes please!! I wanna eat with everyone. Thank you, nice lady- Guinevere!"

So the two started to return to their base, planning to split the food between the four of them.

[nevlartery]

what clan is Siobhan?? o:

Siobhan is a gangrel! She's a mess, but she's also a lot more caring than her appearance often suggests :)

(but her main deal is starting fights and choking people out, so like, take her soft side with a spoonful of salt)

[marv3l-drag0ns]

…mayhaps an avian Bdubs for the ask game?

you know i started this last night, slept on it, woke up, drew some more, went back to bed, and then finished it today. And all the while i was thinking of the moss-esque hoodie i got in Colorado that would be great for a bdubs cosplay.

anyway here's A(vian)dubs

i opted for a more doodle esque page, got silly halfway through it, and then realized that avian bdubs is a homestuck reference (thats what the one above the dirpy bird is referencing. this is because a fluffy haired time-motif-having bird guy with big black eyes (sunglasses look like eyes) is just dave strider).

i was stuck between a fancy kingfisher esque bird or the plover who looks like moss for his design, so i cut the diference down the middle went with mixing attributes.

[basu-shokikita]

skwistok for that asks game

Who's the better driver? :^)

loool

well as we KNOW they both suck driving but

both at the beginning and end of dethrace skwisgaar is driving (though he crashes both times)

we don't actually see toki driving cause when it was his turn during the class he broke down

based on this extremely lacking evidence i conclude that skwisgaar is actually the better driver, or at least he has the balls to drive knowing he sucks shit at it. either way, skwisgaar takes this one, sorry toki

from this ask game

[drainbangle]

to match with you sending me erhardt, ill send you olberic for the ask meme! warrior divorce <3

send me a character

first impression: tbh... didn't super pay attention to him back in 2018 since prim just caught my eye more but i've learned

impression now: his story is really solid, i like the sneaky character detail that the game never tells you his talent is bolster defense because he doesn't know what he fights for yet.

favorite moment: ch4 reunion and remarriage sweep

idea for a story: my idea for ot2 has always been that the ot1 travelers are the ones that give the ot2 protags their EX skills at the shrines after conducting a trial for their successor, so i'd def love to write olberic's with hikari sometime.

unpopular opinion: N/A, i think my only thing is in terms of gameplay? i never ran warmaster olberic, only warmaster therion or h'aanit.

favorite relationship: erhardt, tressa, and alfyn. erhardt for obvious reasons and tressa and alfyn since i enjoy their banters a lot.

favorite headcanon: apothecary olberic the world

4, 8, 20

4. Does your OC have a failed friendship or relationship they still think about? What happened? Is it an unresolved regret or is there a chance for reconciliation?

(For Kaiki) Kaiki actually has two ex-partners! He very much thinks about it sometimes and he does not want to meet them again ever. You know what one meme where one meets such a delightless person that they become aromantic? He is just romance repulsed bc of these two guys.

8. What was your OC's most embarrassing moment? Does it still bother them or are they able to shrug it off?

(For Lucy) Hmmm

20. Has your OC ever done something terrible and lied about it? Did they run away or blame someone else for it? How long did they maintain the lie and did the truth ever come out?

For this one im not sure and uh this was in my drafts for a while and i forgot ab it so lets leave it at that

[sparrowsong-7]

🔬 — scientific pursuits

I'd say Mel and Ayami are pretty good at the whole science thing, especially when they act as each others rubber ducks. Not only are they currently co-writing a scientific thesis on Dynamis, they're also pushing the boundaries of their respective fields of study (Applied Aetheric Manipulation for Ayami and Modern Magitek Development for Mel).

Crescent doesn't understand any of that crap, it just flies over their head.

[mystical-dorito]

favorite animal?

bears, hands down. they just look so friend shaped. it's a shame i can't pet them lol
