you ask yuuta if he wants a bite of your food and when he says yes you offer your plate to him, but he’s just sat there looking at you with his dumb big bambi boy eyes and his mouth slightly open and he will not look away or blink or close his mouth until you lift your fork to his lips to feed him and then he grins like shit’s sweet and hums about how good the food is like nothing happened like he’s not ridiculously attractive. gonna chew on steel

while that other post of mine is all over the place (i'm honestly terrified of it rn) i did this for an au i have in my head like like like beasts, but they gave up on other part of their souljam and ran away to some distant town to live and heal (yay vacation) and even if i won't do anything about this au i still wanted something for my brain to play with, so have these we-have-to-blend-in-with-normal-cookies-but-if-we-fail-magic-will-fix-everything-TRUST-designs

but can you imagine Jace from Act3 end up seeing Viktor from season 1 and BECOMING absolutely crazy, careful, obsessed with staying with him all the time/making sure he doesn't get evil/corrupted by the Hexcore and still with the knowledge that this man saved him countless times from death, that he chose him in all dimensions and possibilities and that Old jace from the past DIDN'T realize it.

HI ANON. IM IMAGINING ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Which song is your #6 or #14 or whatever isn't interesting to me; I wanna hear where in your list the first song from each of your top 5 artists shows up. Or the last one

Hi Pony!

What’s your favorite and least favorite thing about having brothers? :)

"There's a lot that comes with having brothers."

"Me and Darry fight a lot. It gets kind of exhaustin', honestly, with how much we fight. I know Sodapop gets real tired of us yellin' at eachother all the time. Darrel's just lookin' out for me, or whatever, but he babies me."

"Bein' six years older than me, he's real protective sometimes. He don't like when I hang out with the wrong crowd, and he starts yellin' at me like he's dad or somethin'. Makes me angry. 'Cuz he don't got any right to be yellin' at me like that all the time."

" 'Nd Sodapop takes his side in a lot of arguments. It ain't fair, him bein' in the middle of all of our arguments, but its just so frustrating. I want them both to take me more seriously, but still, they never do." ... "But there's a lot of good that comes with both of them, too. 'Cuz I'm never really alone. I know both of my brothers would come runnin' as fast as they could if they heard me hollerin'-- and, man, they proved that to me that one time..."

"Darry's real hard workin'. Puts his whole heart and soul into whatever he's doin'. 'Nd he's got a good sense of humor, when he just lets himself relax. His laugh is a nice surprise, whenever he lets us hear it."

"Soda don't got a mean bone in his body. It's nice havin' someone to sleep next to, and talk with."

"It's real nice havin' older brothers, even if we fight. 'Cuz I love them."

as a certified Diagnosed Autist(TM) i cannot stress enough that i am not only pro- self-diagnosis, but also pretty anti- legal medical diagnosis. it is, at best, a cruel hoop we have to jump through so privileged people will deign to give us what we need. don't fucking do that shit unless you have to, it was disgustingly expensive, fucking humiliating, infantilizing, and dehumanizing, and would probably actively cause problems in my life if i didn't have some really good allistic (-passing) people in my corner and also wasn't so fucking disabled that it mostly doesn't matter.

literally get that diagnosis if you need it for job/school accessibility shit or SSI or whatever, and otherwise dont tell the government SHIT about yourself. there is zero good reason for them to want that information. that's between you and the people you want in your life.

the way you drew kokichi .. i think im ascending to the heavens .. i see the light .. chest collapsing .. heartbeat flatlining ..

oho, a Kokichi enjoyer!! tysm!! it was my first time drawing him at the time so im glad i didnt fail him. i dont want to fail any of the kyoto group. i love them all!! even w my clear favoritism

he's nice too, a bit more expressive than Noritoshi so i can finally draw something that isnt :| or >:( even if it isnt by much- i like him too

I like how he's both a dick but also kinda sweet. He's a different flavor of tsun... i can use this. my knowledge on him is limited but FROM WHAT I SAW IN THE WIKI OH MY GOD???????? OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! KOKICHI!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i’m so glad you brought up that bit in excalibur where magneto’s ideal prison is him getting to be a husband and father again, because it’s so relevant to the idea that the house of m reality isn’t actually everyone’s ideal life, but just wanda’s idea of what everyone’s ideal life would be. all the time i see x-fans condemn magneto for house of m because his ideal world is him becoming exactly like his oppressors, but house of m isn’t actually the life magnus wants! any time magnus gets to become a political leader, he hates it. he hated ruling genosha. he hated ruling krakoa. deep down, he doesn’t want to be superior. he just wants to live in peace with the family he lost.

also, shoutout to magda and anya, who never get to be anything other than magneto’s women in refrigerators. i wish they got to be more important than that. i love it every time we see them in comics, but it’s so rare. and shoutout to magda in particular since she’s been almost completely erased from the narrative by the maximoff retcon. really hope we get a reveal that natalya maximoff was magda all along when we inevitably make wanda and pietro magneto’s mutant children again.

i honestly didnt know excalibur was a predecessor to HoM when i heard about both runs so when i saw that set of panels for the first time it really had me reconsider HoM and the 'ideal reality' bit, im surprised i dont see it mentioned more often

i really wish there were more appearances of mags, magda, and anya; if there are stories focused on them i barely see them talked about... ive heard magda is mags' best-written partner from some but i also very rarely see stories that feature her directly named, so i never get to see her beyond the few fleeting instances i just so happen to catch her. id very much like to see more of her and mags' domestic life....

i think if we find out that natalya was magda all along i'll howl: this family really Can get more complicated contrary to popular belief 💀

I am going to have to chew on what you're saying about religion and relationship in Christian fantasy because I tend to shy away strongly from stories that make God a fictional character. One of the things I often cite as liking about A Canticle for Liebowitz is that it never tries to tell you what God is thinking or doing - it doesn't insert him into the text as a fictional character. Which is kind of exactly the opposite of what you and OP are praising in Narnia. And maybe there's a difference between something set in the Real World and something designed as Fantasy. But anyway I need to chew on this...

okay YES that's extremely valid! I can agree with that too - which suggests my opinion is either more complicated or more fickle than I realized. xP

I think... I think I want it acknowledged that God is a person. BUT making God a character is dicey, as you say. C. S. Lewis pulled it off I think, but... would I dare, personally?? Hngh.

I think it may, perhaps, be more about worldbuilding than narrative presence. As you say, with things set in the real world (or its speculative future), if it's Christian fiction we know Christ is there. We don't need to SEE him, and religious experiences should probably be depicted with caution and restraint.

But if you're writing a fantasy world that's supposed to exist in Christian cosmology (is that the right word? within a universe/multiverse created by God, I guess I mean - again, like Narnia), where the characters have religion - THEN I think what I'm really asking for is that God be at the center of that religion in a way that makes him recognizably Someone and not Something. At least if the character is motivated/sustained by their religion.

Because the more you're trying to depict your fantasy characters having realistic spiritual lives/experiences, the more I think the Force Of Goodness or Creator or Light or what have you that they lean on probably needs to be a Person?

On the other hand! In LotR characters are very clearly receiving graces and devoted to the good and soldiering on in virtue without Eru ever being so much as mentioned, so you can clearly write deeply spiritual Christian fiction without religion in it. And I have seen SW fanfic interpreting the Light Side in a very Christian way and loved that, while being stuck with "the Light Side of the Force" as about as impersonal a label as you can find. So maybe I'm just making things up here. I don't know.

I DO feel strongly about portraying the Trinity as Persons and not Functions, because it seems to me that religion is rather hollow if there isn't Someone you can love at the center of it all. But I also agree that portraying religion or spiritual life does NOT need God to be a "character" as such.

I'm curious now, but do you have any tips for creating a language? I've been wanting to make languages for a few story eras in my AUs, and I've just skimmed over your starspeak language for your AU, and I find it very interesting!

ohhh that sounds so much fun!!! languages spanning multiple eras is a big undertaking and i wish you luck withit!!

there are certainly a dozen far more comprehensive resources out there on conlangs than what i could give you, and there are diverse and passionate communities dedicated just to it!

i'm only messing around for my own fun. i don't think my conlang would hold up under deep scrutiny and it's certainly a novice work, and i'm not talking with other folks who are big into linguistics or anything. none the less, my first and foremost advice with any creative endeavour is to do what is most fun and easy for you!!

for me, this looked like: Ease (because i'm lazy and i did this only for fun and personal use) and Cultural Basis Of The Language (because i'm interested in spec bio, and language/culture is a big part of that). if you find other things most enjoyable, then whatever those are should be your priorities instead!

i took a couple of existing languages and language conventions that suited for my needs (my language is star based, so i looked into bayer designation and similar astronomical designations) and then made mashup words from translations. this was quick and easy, though i'm sure any true conlang creator would find it lazy or even improper; i run the strong risk of bastardizing real words by accident!

i also like to think about how the culture or biology or history of the species would impact the language. i've spoken before about my 'endearment' word, Vaýtita, which means gravity. this is important to the star based species i'm working with, because gravity is one of the few forces that can impact a star.

this sort of stuff is the most compelling to me-- if they don't have "hearts, "love", and "soul", what forces are important to them? if they are genderless and don't need pronouns, what do they use instead and how to they delineate individuals in conversation (if they do)? if hierarchy is critically important, how does their sentence structure incorporate hierarchy into everyday language?

you also can study a lot of real earth languages to see the enormous variety in how sentences are put together, about different particles, and so on!! to me, there's no reason why alien languages* would be spoken in any recognisable way with things like word order, so i switch this all over the show. but again, only if you find this sorta thing fun!! otherwise you can just make literally whatever you enjoy!!

*which is what i'm writing! obviously if you are writing something historical there's a lot more to consider
