#waaay too many other characters to tag

[nash-bby118]

New header for this blog! Disney got sent to art blog and might be getting redrawn eventually before I leave for the college program. Took a while but I finally got this positioned perfectly on the app since that’s what I use more often than desktop.

Finally finished Young Justice S2

it was pretty good! Definitely a huge improvement from the first season even if there's a ton of plot holes and problems still, but it's clear that this season really amped the stakes in an interesting way. They took bigger swings, and sometimes that results in bigger misses. Lingering thoughts:

absolutely ludicrous of Nightwing and the other team members who were in on the "Kaldur is being a double agent" plot, to not let M'gann in on that 😭what do you MEAN you're not letting the telepath who has been mind breaking villains casually in on your Kaldur under cover plot? Ridiculous, biggest plot hole ever.

What exactly is the team's stance on M'gann mind breaking bad guys? Obviously Conner hates it, but I remember Bumblebee telling M'gann to "Brain blast him or something" so? Does the team know M'gann does this and are okay with it? Does Conner tell anyone what M'gann did to him? Aayee

lol @ M'gann saying she can only shapeshift into girls/women when she casually turns into men multiple times this season. But even when that concept was introduced they contradicted themselves in that very episode.

There's something,,, uncomfortable about the whole Arsenal plot where he ends up getting kicked out of the team. My memory's a bit foggy since I watched the episodes in chunks but- I thought Nightwing cutting Arsenal off the team was uncalled for? Like sure Arsenal panicked and got everyone captured because of it, but then he essentially single handedly (hah) saved everyone again, leading a rag tag new team to help him save his friends. Sure it was his fault that they got captured in the first place (because he was traumatized from fear of being captured again) but well. If he isn't psychologically fit to be back on the team so soon after being traumatically trapped for so long,,,why is he on the team to begin with? It gets into this uncomfy convo where the Young Justice team just kinda normalizes child soldiers to hop right back into intense crime fighting before they had a chance to recover mentally. Like he more than made up for his mistake in my opinion.

Way too many characters again! Especially by the end of the season. They really should've just focused on the cast surrounding Blue Beetle, Impulse, and Arsenal as new characters because their plots were the center of the conflict really! The Batfam members didn't have a personality and felt superfluous to the cast.

The rag tag team of meta kids were done dirty by the end! Static just joins Young Justice at the ending in a way that felt mandatory instead of natural.

I can't believe they just shipped a bunch of characters at the end again like last season lol I was caught off guard by that completely.

Waaay too much exposition, most of which felt unnatural. I know this season's plot is way more ambitious, but there could've been better ways to give us that information. Many of the episodes were just "plot is progressing" and not giving characters a chance to grow through their arcs.

Overall, I had a good time even when I was frustrated at certain plots. This is definitely not the Young Justice slump era I know is coming eventually, lol.

What is the real appeal to Damijon?

It seems meh because I’m looking through the tag and it more so seems like people are making up half of what their relationship to each other actually is.

I know exactly what you mean 🥴

I’m sorry for bursting anyones bubble but in canon, Jon is not obsessed with Damian. Jon is not a ray of sunshine and Damian is not the mature one.

It does seem like a lot of posters more so post their oc’s with Jon and Damian’s names attached to it but we should never stray too far from what their relationship actually is to each other; which should be the ship’s appeal in the first place.

It sucks because as one of the main Damijon posters I’ve blocked like half the others and we don’t have that many to begin with.

The appeal of the ship is waaay different, Damian and Jon bump heads because they are both emotionally immature.

If you portray Jon and Damian as best friends at first glance, I’m sorry but you’re very wrong, they had a physical altercation days after meeting.

Damian has the immature tendency to push people away instead of allowing to get close, it shocked him when he realized that Jon would be someone who refused to be pushed away - before they met Damian was promised to be someone Jon was supposed to be partners with for life. Could you imagine his surprised when his first interaction with Damian was him threatening his life?

Anyway, rather these characters bump heads or not, they are close now and will be for the rest of their lives.

The ship is more built on being platonic soulmates but if they were to be a couple, I imagine them coming back to each other when they are older. Only then will they actually be able to hold a relationship with the other. I truly think they could be happy in a relationship and be lifetime partners outside of Robin and Superboy but as Damian Wayne and Jon Kent.

So, it's October -- crazy, right? About three months ago, I got waaay too emotionally invested in Din Djarin and baby Grogu and the Razor Crest and, well, here we are. This blog served as a way to unleash the infectious brainrot of Pedro back into the ecosystem, hopefully finding another victim. What I got back, is community. I've been in fandom for over ten years and I can honestly say I've never seen a fandom that is so kind, so supportive, so eager to share and talk and engage with others.

So, in the three months since this blog was created, you lovely people continue to show up and everyday I am gobsmacked at the growth and support. I genuinely don't know how I would have survived these last few months had I not met some of you, so as the (shoddily made) gif says: thank you.

I've just now wrapped up my 100 Followers Event Challenge (y'all sent me so many fantastic prompts I had SO much fun!). If you're interested, they're on my masterlist or you can find them all here on this post. I'm taking an itty bitty break from writing for just a bit (might be getting a new job too) but when i come back, i can't wait to share what comes next for all our pedro blorbos!)

Now that I'm a bit more settled and have had the chance to meet some of these fantastic creators, I'd love to share them out with you:

My Favorite Places to Make PPCU Friends (Discord Servers):

Pedro Pascal Cinematic Universe (I got invited by @jupiter-soups)

Space Sisters - give @psychedelic-ink a shout if you'd like to join!

My Favorite Compilations for Fics:

Favourite Fanfic Stories (managed by @morallyinept)

Sanctuary Database (managed by @pascalsanctuary)

Spreadsheet Digest (managed by @wannab-urs)

(these folks are also some of the nicest people you'll ever meet so please do yourself a favor and go follow them)

My Favorite Creators:

@perotovar is a next level gifmaker

@trulybetty has some of the best designs i've ever seen

@daddy-dins-girl has some of the best pedro character alignment charts -- it makes me laugh every time!

@iamdesibell has my entire heart and soul with all her fanart

@saradika keeps us fed with gorgeous moodboards and dividers

Fandom lives and dies by its community so please reblog, tag, or comment if you like a piece of fanart, fanfic, or anything else someone has created that vibes with you! If you'd like to rec something or someone, please let me know -- as you can see, i love holding up other writers and creators and i always wanna hear about your fave!

My ask box is always open for requests, questions, comments, or if you wanna just bitch about how your stupid old car failed you again, I wanna hear about that too 🤍thank you all for accepting me and my silly little stories!

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you for the tag @zsparz :3

1. How many works do you have on ao3? 13 (one's art, so really, 12)

2. What's your total ao3 word count? 111,676

3. What fandoms do you write for? The MCU and The Alienist, mainly, but right now I'm also doing a Pokemon AU.

4. Top five fics by kudos: Shoot Through the Blur and Under the Ashes (I'm On Fire), then Hot Under the Collar, Russian Dwarf Hamster Roulette, and finally (Been An Awful Good Boy) Santa Zemo.

5. Do you respond to comments? I do :3 I really appreciate comments and the fact that it takes time and effort to leave them.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I don't really think I do angst??

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I don't really think I do happy endings?? Like, I guess I tend not to write stuff that feels like it even has a definitive ending.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not in this fandom.

9. Do you write smut? Yes! Love to write smut.

10. Craziest crossover: I hold that my winterbaron/Lilo & Stitch crossover is very sensical.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Yes, although not in this fandom. I had a fic get yoinked and turned into a Tony Stark x Reader fic, and have been plagiarized numerous other times. Just not under this pen name.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes, waaay back in the day, like eight pen names ago.

14. All time favorite ship? Look, I wanna be cool and say Winterbaron or Laszky, buuuut it's Wincest. There's just something really enduring and special about Wincest and it's hard to beat.

15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? The third installment of Shoot Through the Blur is really hard and I'm in a weird place with writing right now (in that I can barely do it). But, never say never.

16. What are your writing strengths? I don't know my strengths, only my likes and dislikes about the writing process, and characterization is what brings me the most joy personally. Nailing a character's voice and mannerisms and making something unbelievable feel believable via the characterization. It's something I generally pay a lot of attention to.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Plot. I'm not really a plot person; it's never the primary thing that grabs my attention, even as a reader/viewer. I'm very much a character person.

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language? I like it, but I have strong opinions about it too, sweatdrop.

19. First fandom you wrote in? Power Rangers, when I was a little kid. I wrote my own episode in script format.

20. Favorite fic you've written? In the WB fandom, it must surely be Russian Dwarf Hamster Roulette. It was very much a fun write. (I generally judge a fic by the writing process rather than the end product. I kinda hate my own writing. I just love to do it.) I loved writing Zemo POV. Plus for some reason people were really nice about it!!

As usual I'm where memes go to die, and I think everyone's already been tagged for this!! I'm way behind :"]

[bromcommie]

Helloho, for the ask game:

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

and

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

Thank you! :)

Hi hi, thanks for the ask! <3 🔪 ⇢ oh man, not sure if this is that much of a weird one (or I just don't know what's normal anymore), but I do have several leaked CIA manuals saved as PDFs on my computer?? mostly just bc it's informative & horrifyingly eyeopening in general. I like to research a lot of sociopolitical stuff, or at least I try to, so a lot of highly specific Cold War/WWII/present day intelligence apparatus things tend to end up in my search history. Other than that not to go the "winter soldier + red room umbrella" cop out route, but...winter soldier + red room umbrella. Lots of layman's psychiatry & neuroscience, accounts of drug effects/use, lots of "asking for a friend but theoretically what would happen to your body long term if you had XYZ happen to you and walked away", waaay too much on JFK/other assassinations, lots of stuff on weapons specs and indoctrination and "gangs in St Petersburg in the 1980s?" and stuff like that.

Also like... which kinds of birds were native to NYC in the early 20th century and the relevance of catholic socialism in working class circles and medical papers on the side effects of the use of stramonium in asthma cigarettes, lol. (That might be one of the more specific ones, objectively.)

Again, this all feels pretty typical for Cap fics so idk how weird it is (and it's just a fun learning experience overall and mostly doesn't even end up in the writing) but I feel like my IP's on a lot of very confused yet suspect government lists at this point.

🧩 ⇢ oof, this one is rough. I try to always give fics with a good desc & tags benefit of the doubt, but I've also been around long enough that I can kind of tell if something's going to put me off, y'know? I guess I'm not a big fan of infantilizing adult characters or coddling relationships, especially if it's presented as an unproblematic given. I like softness as much as the next person, and I'm all for protectiveness and loyalty and comfort being at the core of both friendships and romantic relationships, but I like when it's a mutual thing that was arrived at after some time or even after it being a point of conflict/misunderstanding bc people deal with this stuff in many weird, differing, sometimes counterproductive ways.

In stevebucky fics esp while I love that element between them, I'm really not huge on Bucky bundling pre-serum Steve up to hide him away from the mean mean world, primarily because I think it would make Steve want to bludgeon him with a shovel for it repeatedly and Bucky would know that, and vice versa for them post-CATWS + dealing with each other's guilt (+ even and maybe especially the Sam-Steve relationship as it pertains to that as well). Which is not to say that I don't love to read about these conflicts being explored or a good "I want to help you PLEASE let me help you"/"you shut the fuck up and sit in the corner and hold my hand while I deal with my shit on my own" dynamic even if it's borderline unhealthy or codependent at a point - I just think it takes a bit of friction to make it interesting to read about and for it to arrive at a satisfying point in the end.

MUN MONDAY: GETTING TO KNOW YOU

Respond to the following prompts out of character, then tag others you'd like to get to know a little bit better!

ROLEPLAYER NAME: You can call me Owl, or Sam. :) Whatever you prefer.

ROLEPLAYER PRONOUNS: He/Him

MUSE NAME: Haarlep.

PREFERRED COMMUNICATION: I'm fine with either IM's or Discord. Time zones are a bit shit for me since I live in Australia, but I'll catch you when I can.

EXPERIENCE: I've been Rping way over a decade now. On tumblr? Since... 2012, I think? But waaay before then, back in probably 2007 or something. I've Rped on multiple platforms.

PREFERRED ROLEPLAY TYPE: I greatly prefer para/novella. I like delving into a character's mind and thought process. I know I write a LOT of inner monologue for my muses as well, I actually STRUGGLE with short replies, so when someone gives me a single para or line... it's really difficult for me to match that short length, but it's also something that I don't really vibe with. I greatly prefer longer replies. I want to delve into characters and see how they react, I want to learn all of those little things about your muses as well. I'm a sucker for character development. I'm also a fan of the nitty gritty.

PET PEEVES & DEALBREAKERS: One line responses. Please, for the love of god... give me something to work with. It's a quick way for me to show disinterest and likely not really reach out to write with unless it's something that I am REALLY enjoying for small snippets. But please, I greatly prefer longer replies. Short ones also make me feel like you're just not interested in what my characters have to say :/ Please read my rules, whilst I know we can't remember EVERYONE'S rules (seriously, I forget as well!), it is obvious when people don't. If my muse is a muse of power or something, then please treat them as such. If your muse ends up wanting to attack or something, and they are of a lower class... then they won't win. It's just that simple. Respect the power of certain muses.

PLOTS OR MEMES: I like both and am fine with both. Whilst I LOVE plotting and getting to know muses and getting an idea of where we can go, I also understand that sometimes our brains are just too tired from real life and memes can be something simpler and quicker. I think both of them are very good for very different reasons, which I'm fine with both. By all means, memes are EXCELLENT ice breakers imo, and then we can always plot something once we've established a little starter. :)

LONG REPLIES OR SHORT REPLIES: Long, lol. As covered in my previous responses.

BEST TIME TO WRITE: I get a lot more done when I'm writing in the mornings. Obviously due to work, I am tired in the evenings, so I get very little done (Haarlep has certainly reawakened my muse tho I'm shocked at how much I've been writing on my work nights lol). I mostly write on Fridays as it's the only day I have to myself, so I try and churn out as many replies as I can, but once it hits the afternoon, I'm pooped lol. So yeah, mornings are definitely best!

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: Haarlep? Absolutely not. Haarlep caught me by utter surprise when it came to being a muse of mine. I saw him once, had a little laugh, and suddenly he wouldn't leave my mind, and then I just... had the persistent urge to write them. I'm very happy that he did come to me, though, as he's really been helpful in making me come back to RP on a more regular basis and I've had such a good time exploring him. But no, we're absolutely nothing alike. Haarlep is an incubus, and I'm asexual as fuck lol. If anything, and don't take this the wrong way because it's probably going to sound BAD lol, but I have more in common with Raphael than I do with Haarlep X'D and that's... saying something, since I am not an evil devil hahaha. The only thing I think I could say about me and Haarlep being similar is the fact that I can mask like a beast in public. (: Even then, that's entirely different to what Haarlep is doing, I'm just masking because I'm austistic and people have expectations of me in society lol, Haarlep is masking because he's trying to seduce and eat someone hahaha.

[tatters-the-bat]

Hi there!

Figured I should make a proper pinned message at some point.

I'm Tatters, your local fluffy flying fox! :3 Main fursona is the bat in question, secondary is a honeybee named Lore.

I go by she/they/it, and post all my art on here as well as reblogging stuff I like. Multifandom and my hyperfixations change often lol, my top fandoms are FNAF, Undertale/Deltarune, Pokemon, Crypt of the NecroDancer, MLP, Rain World, and Hollow Knight.

Big fan of small animals, especially bugs! (As such, trigger warning for bug and spider pictures, i usually tag them with #bugs and #spiders but i might miss 'em!)

If you like my work, following and/or reblogging helps a lot! I love getting comments on / asks about my stuff too!! :3 My comms are usually open. If you're interested or just want to support me, check out my Ko-Fi! Thanks for reading!

Original Universes:

Fauxtail City - A large, sprawling city where most of my anthro OCs live. Set on the scenic Ambiscale Bay, the city is - uniquely compared to other cities in its world - divided into districts that accommodate the needs of different species. There are five - Woodland, Aquatic, Polar, Mountain, and Desert. While it is mostly a nice place to live, behind the scenes there is a power struggle, between the crime organization known as the Butterfly Knives, and the mildly corrupt, cheap, and lazy City Council.

Synfall - The underworld of a realm known as Eclypson. It is similar to many other Hell depictions, fire and brimstone, except that its leaders have discovered how to harness thermal energy and have built a capitol metropolis! There's a very strict social hierarchy, with imps at the waaay bottom and the archdemons and King Lucifer at the top. (Lucifer and his cabinet are merely named after demon princes; they are not one and the same.)

Ectopolis - A spectral city only visible and tangible to ghosts. Newly dead souls make their way here in order to visit The Pool, a large, mysterious collection of colorful Ectoplasm that souls then use to make new ghost forms for themselves. The spectral plane has other settlements and is spread all across Earth's atmosphere, but Ectopolis is the biggest by far due to the presence of the Pool. It is run by Mayor Hyper, who is one of the only ghosts to be formed by the high-energy splotches of Ectoplasm that rarely form on the surface of the Pool, called Hyperplasm.

Tag Stuff:

I didn't have foresight when making the cute art tag that I would reblog art that isn't necessarily trying to be cute, so I just threw on "cool art" as a more generic one xD

[gildedlife]

GET TO KNOW THE MUN MEME:

NAME: i go by merrin here! you may remember me from elsewhere as maddie (which you are very welcome to use, i just don't want to advertise with it). possibly as cosmo.

PRONOUNS: she/they.

MOST ACTIVE MUSES: this one, james! i have a multi @hearthy that i haven't checked in a bit, but contains my longest-played characters. i can usually say that my range is better on discord but i'm very jfj-oriented at the moment.

RP PET PEEVES: i probably would have had an impassioned answer to this a few years ago, but now i'll sort of roll with anything. i have written with someone (not here) who does a lot of god-modding, which i cannot talk them out of no matter how many times i kindly ask them, so maybe that. you can assume some things for the sake of smoother story-telling, sure, but i suppose i draw the line at dictating my characters' deeper emotions for them.

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS: i think almost 16 years...

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: i wouldn't write smut for the longest time but i worked on it over a few private projects and enjoy it a lot now. i love angst, i thrive in an angsty environment, but i'm also the world's biggest sucker for domesticity, which may fall more under the umbrella of fluff. i love wading through misery to get there, though.

PLOTS OR MEMES: generally plots, but there are certainly meme moods.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: god, i guess... longish? more a warning if you're on the other side: you write whatever length works for you, i am unfortunately likely to drag my reply waaay too far out.

IDEAL TIME TO WRITE: i don't sleep much/well, so you can pretty much catch me anytime. i'm available to write on discord most hours of the day. tumblr is usually later on for me—sometime between 8pm and 2am est.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?: in some of the sadder ways, i think so, but overall i'm not much like james at all.

tagged by stolen from @ohsunshine! please steal it yourself and tag me if you like!

[daniclaytcn]

As a Buck Stan who fully adores Eddie as his own character, I get annoyed by how the whole “exhausting” thing gets played out in fandom. I think it has potential to be interesting since I think it draws on one of Buck’s insecurities, but I rarely see it explored in a fun way. Generally it’s used as a device to make Eddie grovel, which I hate. On the same note, I’m always clicking on lawsuit arc stories hoping one will actually delve into the complexities of it rather than demand everyone beg for Buck’s forgiveness. I want a good “a lot of mistakes were made, and people had strong reactions based on their own ongoing struggles but no one here is a bad person” lawsuit story. Most importantly, a lawsuit story in which Hen, Chimney, and Maddie actually respond the way they did in canon which was either absent (I can’t remember much Maddie interaction with the lawsuit. She was going through her own stuff) or pretty supportive and understanding, if perhaps disapproving of the choice to sue, depending on the story, rather than morphing into unrecognizable bullies. I have strong feelings about this lol sorry

honestly, i'm not surprised you can't find any of the kind of nuanced fics you're looking for (or very few of them, at the very least), because people are just waaay too obsessed with making buck into this oppressed victim who never did anything wrong and is just an uwu baby being bullied by the others. it's absolutely wild that they think buck did absolutely nothing wrong by dragging the rest of the 118 into his conflict with bobby, unnecessarily dredging up their personal trauma in front of an audience, and then not even having the decency to apologize until eddie called him out on it. if you ask them, hen, chim and eddie are the obvious villains for being understandably upset with him (which is even more ridiculous when you remember how quick hen and chim were to let it go when they had every reason to be angry). lol. i'm just muting so many authors whenever i go into the ao3 tag xD

[rwdestuffs]

So some WB animation & CN staffers are trying to unionize now. No clue whether this means anything for Chicken Dentures, but at this point I'm waaay more hopeful about that & other Texan 'pay us already' animation developments than this hashtagnewvolumelaborwhatlabor? sewage. Lately fndm/rwde wank seems to get very lost in the weeds of in-show character crit, but the former clique's nonresponse to so many disclosures remains fucking awful.

I'm hoping it means that the animators, writers, voice actors, and everyone involved in the show gets decent pay. I get why fans want to see the show continue. For a lot of people, this is how they met online friends, made connections with other artists or writers, and found a community where they belong. But I think that that community can survive even if the show gets delayed like hell.

If fans can keep shouting at Sony to delay Beyond the Spider-Verse so that the animators, writers, VAs, etc. can be paid properly and have the time they need to make a good movie, then so can the fans of RWBY. The main issue is that greenlighting the show is very much out of their hands, so while Spider-Verse is pretty much greenlit, RWBY isn't, so fans need to show enough support to prove that there is enough demand for the show in order for it to continue.

Fans can wait a few years for RWBY so that the animation is good, the writing is good, and so that the people working on it aren't worked to death. And while I'm somewhat curious as to what the show will bring us (good and bad), there needs to be an understanding that a good story is one that takes time.

Legend of Korra once had a filler episode just so they could keep their animators and other such personal on the show, I don't see why RT can't have some delays to make sure their show would be of both quality, and of humane production.

I admittedly, haven't been around the rwde/crtq tag as much lately, so I don't know what's going on. And that's mainly because I've come to the conclusion that any flaw in RWBY is also a flaw in other shows. Say what you want about Emerald, at least they didn't take a doll off the corpse of a girl and send it as a halfhearted idea of a gift to a family member while giving another family member something that was actually had thought put into it, like Iroh. Say what you want about Ilia, at least she didn't hire an assassin to go after the main heroes because she was unsure of her place in the place that rejected her, like Zuko. Say what you want about Ruby, at least she didn't claim to be a non-killing pacifist while also burying people in an avalanche, like Aang did.- Basically, any flaw within RWBY is also a flaw within other shows that are also critically acclaimed, like AtLA.

The main point I'm trying to make here is that the story does deserve to be told. It does deserve to have its ending. But that shouldn't come at the expense of animators, writers, voice actors, or anyone really. If RT can't make the show in a humane way, then they should hand it off to a company that will. If that means they go down, well… They brought that on themselves. And maybe if these guys can get unionized, the show can be made without the expense of people around them. And I'd like to think that the show itself would improve if it were made humanely.

So while I have no idea what the future will hold, I'm hoping that it'll be at least somewhat better than what we have right now. If we fail to make the world better for the next generation, then we've failed as a generation. And the same can be said about previous generations. And future generations too.

Took me three days to finish the Salt Route concept video and god i'm gonna be such a hater im gonna put this under the cut but i don't want my poor ex to hear me complain so yall must suffer on her place

LIKE, MAN. I'll start off by saying the technical stuff was okay. I really enjoyed the music (gonna try find the fight song), the animations weren't perfect but were good enough and the random drawings were nice I liked those jumpscares. There's things like the shaking textboxes and Queen's fight background changing color which were Something but it was fine.

WHAT WAS NOT FINE WAS THE FUCKING LAG. THAT WAS SO FUCKING ANNOYING WHY ON EAAARTH DID THEY ADD LAG⁉️

Anyway even if you overlook the lag, the real problem of this video is the story on its own, which is arguably the most important part.

(also there were some issue with the pacing but more on that later-)

This recreation respected the main story beats but added sooo much in between. And some of it was alright! I loved the fucking Roulx bit so much and the Swatchling dying was cool too, but... Most other additions felt like so much.

Like, the problem really lies in the fact that you cannot forget what the source material is like. Even during Snowgrave this game remains goofy! Look at Spamton NEO's fight, the dialogue is so sad and yet so funny. HE EVEN TELLS YOU TO GO PLAY MINECRAP AT SOME POINT!

You cannot ignore the sheer goofiness in Spamton tagging along with Kris because he lost his goddamn keys. The video took itself way too seriously, when there was so much comedy to play off on! Roulx at least did his part for that 🙏😔

Unfortunately the absence of goofiness translates as an over presence of edginess. And with edginess comes out of characterness. And lord did this get kind of edgy. Like, I get it, snowgrave, manipulation and whatnot, but they ramped it waaay up to the point it just made Kris seem evil for no reason!

Because we sure as hell started this route but Kris was the one to continue it. Like when they tied Spamton up. What was up with that? Or hell, THE SOLID MINUTE BEATING HE TOOK. The player didn't instruct them to do any of those, Kris did it on their own. And it's almost fucking hilarious to see, but it's played completely straight, it's Narmy as fuck !!!!

Kris wasn't the only OOC tho, Spamton was too. Sure Kris has him at the foot of the canyon doing all the murdering himself, and the Addison bit was edgy but I can excuse it bc 1) I have a soft spot I'm not all hate 2) it was in the dream, but this puppet would NOT care about killing so many. His ass did not FLINCH when giving you the thorn ring. He was soooo okay with you freezing everyone, to act like this would be any different is just untrue.

And!!! And, another thing. The heart ripping off part. I have very mixed feelings about that... I mean, i think it's meant to have some Deeper Meaning? As to justify Spamton's ending? More on that in a second btw; but like, I think Spamton was just huffing copium to justify getting his ass handed by a 13 yo. So it's like... It's the same as I said with Spamton's reaction, Kris wouldn't care more about this than they cared about Snowgrave.

UNLESS they just tried to rip their heart out bc they fucking hated Spamton and couldn't stand being around his annoying ass any second longer, in which case the beating is justified too, but that's just a possible interpretation 👍 KEHEMDHNDDB

Like, so much would've had improved if this video stuck to the stablished in Snowgrave and in the og post, going not for physical abusive but psychological one. I'm sure the post said you had to CONVINCE Spamton, that would've been way more fitting to see! And it makes Kris neutral while we are evil.

But, hey, it wasn't all bad, so let me point out some bits I REALLY liked that I haven't pointed out yet like: the boat ride pic. The little comment as they pretended to be friends about it not being genuine was so good. The Swatchling dying and Queen trying to interrupt also was sick. Roulx, cannot stress that enough... SWATCH'S LIL GOOFY ASS LETTER, SAYING TO NOT BE BLUE. Also Swatch (or a Swatchling but I think it was the bird themselves) jumpscared me hard when they went behind the door. God, and the queen fight too, that was so faithful.

But! It segways me perfectly into my last complain which is ! The pacing of this video was so over the place omfg. There's so many scenes that did NOT need to be that long. Like c'mon, we already had deviations from the original gameplay, you don't need to make fights like 5 minutes long.

Wild to see how good the op was at some very hard attacks but how bad they were at others.

OVERALL 👏 no hard feelings toward the creator I fully encourage you watching the video and agreeing or disagreeing with me but man, how I wish it had been sillier. That's my final review of the salt route concept video 👍

[littlesmartart]

lots of people responded to my 3zun enneagram post saying they’d be interested in seeing more, so I made a sort of masterpost of the main characters! I am working on a post with a bunch of ships so watch this space for them. all future posts on this will be tagged #untamedenneagram. I stuck with the main adult characters because it’s pointless to try and type a character if you don’t know enough about them, and I have specifically avoided the Juniors, because enneagram is not recommended for anyone that young; kids and teenagers are still growing up and figuring out who they are, which means that naturally their personalities are likely to change as they mature. if people are really desperate to see the Juniors then I could maybe do a post where I make reeeeaal vague estimations on what their adult selves might be typed as.

disclaimer: these are just my opinions based on my interpretations of the characters - if you disagree, feel free to make your own post discussing your personal thoughts, but I am not in ANY way interested in getting into “ “ discourse ” ” about any of this :) also please remember, if you’re applying any of this to yourself, that whilst enneagram can be used as a fun tool for healthy self-reflection, every person is unique and we don’t always perfectly fit in boxes; take from this what is helpful and try not to get too hung up on it.

all type descriptions are taken from here. under the cut you can find the characters arranged by type with my thoughts on how they differ, as well as what I think their wings would be. MAYBE one day I’ll make something about subtypes, but I’ll need to do waaay more research 😵 if you have any thoughts/questions about my choices here, feel free to drop me an ask!

Wangji was a really clear and obvious choice as a 1 for me, as was Song Lan, as they both have a fiercely strong sense of morality and their duty within the moral structure to fix what is ‘wrong’, but they are also somewhat distant and reserved. Jin Zixuan is a choice some may disagree with, as many people’s sole impression of him is how he treated Yanli as a teen, however I argue that if you look at what we see of him over his short life as a whole, and look at his actions outside of those relationships (defending Mianmian against his own sect brothers, coming back to rescue Wangji and WWX with Jiang Cheng, leading a force in the Sunshot Campaign despite his father’s reluctance to get involved, defending a servant girl when he believed Yanli - a gentry woman - had stolen credit from her, personally going to de-escalate WWX’s fight with Jin Zixun) we do see a man who, whist being arrogant and somewhat stand-offish, does clearly have a strong moral code which he does consistently act in accordance to.

In terms of wings, I would say that Wangji and Song Lan are both 1wing2 - the empathetic 2 wing brings a need to be personally involved in righting wrongs and helping people, which is where you get the Distant Snow And Cold Frost, famous saviour of the common folk, and Hanguang-jun, who goes where the chaos is. I would say that Jin Zixuan is a 1wing9, who are more distant and measured than 2 wings, and are less uncompromising in their application of morality - which is how you get Jin Zixuan who is unabashedly giving his opinion about correct behaviour in Gusu and during the war, but in Koi Tower is far more reserved and clearly concerned about rocking the boat with his father.

Yanli and Xingchen were very very obvious as type 2 for me - it’s that consistent altruism and self-sacrifice, as well as the genuine desire to serve others whilst neglecting their own needs. I honestly think it’s a shame that they’re both presented so angelically within the narrative because it would be very interesting to see some of the darker side of the type 2, with that sense of needing to be needed, and even possessiveness. Also very interesting that both these 2s have strong significant relationships with type 1s (Zixuan and Song Lan) - a healthy combination of 1&2 can often be something of a “power couple”, with their combined genuine desires to bring justice and love and positive change to their community, and it perhaps says something about the narrative of the untamed in a meta way that both of these couples are tragically divided before they can reach their powerful potential.

I would say that Xingchen is a 2wing1 - his desire to help people is part of a moral duty for him, and the 1 wing gives him a strong drive to not only look after individuals but also to alleviate suffering in society as a whole. Yanli I think is a 2wing3 - they have the social and charismatic aspect of the 3, and care for people through building relationships and connections with the people around them in a more personal way.

Wow, JGY could not be any more obviously a 3! He is status-conscious, charming, ambitious, strives to be competent at everything he does, and obviously his core fear is to do with what he is worth - either that he will never have his worth acknowledged, or, later in the narrative, that everything he has done will be exposed and he will return to being worthless and hated. He is also very good at adapting himself to whatever - or whoever - he needs to be in order to survive, and a classic issue for unhealthy type 3s is getting so absorbed in their personas that they lose track of who they really are and what they really feel, at their core, which I think is something we see with JGY as he begins to break down.

I would say that JGY is a 3wing2 - a lot of his fear of failure is focused on his relationships (the obsession with his mother’s wish for him to be acknowledged, the years of striving for his father’s love, how terribly horribly personal getting kicked out of the Unclean Realm was for him, how much he hid from Xichen - someone who genuinely would have helped him - out of a fear that he would be unwanted and unloved if he told the truth) but also he has a huge capacity for love and loyalty and a real drive to take care of the people he loves that feels very 2.��

So I only wanted to type main characters, because you can’t type someone if you can’t get a really good hold on their personality and motivations (SORRY QIN SU ;_;) which may make my choice of including Mo Xuanyu strange, but a. his actions LITERALLY create most of the plot and really give a strong sense of who he was, and b. I am a type 4 myself and I looked at him like “oh shit, I know this kid”. Sadly we only hear about Xuanyu when he’s at his worst - deep in depression, feeling trapped and vengeful enough to resurrect a serial killer to murder his entire family - but there seems to be a huge depth and weight to his emotions that is very archetypal of a 4, he seems to have a strong tendency to make decisions based on his emotional reactions, and his notorious fashion choices (mask, ghost makeup) are him expressing his inward emotional state and bold individuality in an outward way - again, very 4. 

I don’t know if we see enough of his personality to really fully know what wing he would have, but I would take a guess that he’s a 4wing3, given that he seems to have a flair for the outwardly dramatic more than you would expect from a more introspective and reserved 4wing5.

Again, it may seem odd to have such a minor character included when I was focusing on the main cast, but I really wanted to do a full set of the types so I was really searching for a 5, and as SOON as I thought of Su She, it was so OBVIOUS that was him. Regardless of how the fandom feels about him, it is impossible to deny that he is a very intelligent and innovative man who consistently strives to learn and grapple with complex new ideas (my dude can teleport!!! TELEPORT!!! can ~ HANGUANG-JUN ~ teleport hmm???? DIDN’T THINK SO.) and whose overarching motivation seems to be a desire to gain more magical knowledge so that he can never be left vulnerable and humiliated again.

Like Mo Xuanyu, I’m not certain we see enough of him to fully know what wing he would be, but I would guess at 5wing6, given his intense work ethic, how strongly he rejects the authority of the Lans once they (in his mind) abandon him, and how desperately loyal he is to JGY right up until his death. 

I felt pretty strongly about Wen Qing being a 6 from the start, but I spent quite a while debating over whether Wei Wuxian should actually be a 7. I eventually settled on 6 because those traits - hard-working, loyal, problem-solving, defiant and rebellious to champion justice and protect the vulnerable, though defensive, evasive and anxious when under stress - seemed more at the core of his character. If you remove them, you remove who he really is. I think the reason Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing are able to bond so strongly is because they both recognise their own essential traits in each other.

The real difference you see between these two however is, I think, strongly influenced by their wings - Wei Wuxian is a 6wing7, so when things are good he is optimistic and fun-loving and looking for new and fresh experiences. Wen Qing on the other hand is a 6wing5, with that 5 motivation to seek out knowledge and learn all she can in order to protect herself and those around her. They both share the core 6 fear of not having a place where they can belong and feel safe.

Both Huaisang and Xue Yang were clear and easy to type as 7s - Xue Yang actually says a line that I think could possibly be the motto for type 7, “I don’t fear death, I fear boredom”. Huaisang definitely plays up the “scattered and undisciplined” aspect for his Headshaker persona, and the spontaneous and playful 7 traits that he and Wei Wuxian share are where they are able to bond at Cloud Recesses. A classic 7 coping mechanism is to deal with - or rather, not deal with - unpleasant situations and emotions by simply avoiding or ignoring them, which you see with Huaisang being the Headshaker (“I don’t know! Don’t ask me!” is a pretty good buffer for anything he doesn’t want to deal with) and with Xue Yang, when he seems to genuinely believe that he can just live in perpetual domestic bliss in Yi City with no consequences so long as XXC never finds out his name.

The core differences between Huaisang and Xue Yang as type 7s (setting aside the larger influences of class and privilege and purely examining their personalities) I think come from their wings, which you can mainly see when things go wrong for both of them; I would say Xue Yang is a 7wing8, as when shit hits the fan for him, he becomes furious and destructive to hide his weakness, like a very unhealthy 8. Huaisang I think is more a 7wing6, as when things go bad for him he uses his Headshaker persona as a shield but underneath he is anxious, suspicious, and emotionally isolated, secretly testing everyone around him for true loyalty, much like an unhealthy 6.

I try to avoid the stereotype of “anyone with Big Anger Issues is type 8″ but, uh, with Mingjue and Jiang Cheng the shoe really does fit. They both really rise to the occasion when forced to take on the mantle of leader by being assertive, decisive and resourceful, but they both hide behind their violent and destructive tempers to avoid addressing issues and what they are at fault for in the breakdown of their relationships.

As with a lot of these characters, I think their essential differences come out when you look at their wing-influenced traits. Mingjue is a type 8wing7, which may seem like a strange choice, but I think his 7 aspects come out in his very avoidant approach to morality - Good is Good and Bad is Bad and if you’re Bad then you should be Punished and if anything contradicts with that and makes me uncomfortable well I Simply Do Not See It. Jiang Cheng is a type 8wing9; unlike Mingjue, who thrives on confrontation and is unafraid to wear his emotions on his sleeve, Jiang Cheng clearly has greater insecurities due to his trauma and social position as a young sect leader, so tends towards whichever reaction will best hide his vulnerability, be that an explosion of temper or quietly keeping his head down and ceding political ground. The basic desire of a 9 is peace of mind and harmony, and we see that influence in Jiang Cheng when he dreams of his family being happy at Lotus Pier.  

I think both Xichen and Wen Ning and fairly typical 9s; calm, affable and peaceable, preferring to avoid conflict and being far more concerned with hearing the opinions of the people around them than voicing their own. Xichen’s hatred of conflict is pretty clear in his position within 3zun, as he tries to mediate and bring his sworn brothers back together, though whilst it is initially noble, his intentions regarding conflict do lean more towards avoidance than resolution, so ultimately they are long-term unsuccessful. 

I think there’s something interesting and kind of sad about a conflict-avoidant type 9 becoming the Yiling Patriarch’s attack dog, but I do think that is reflected in him being a 9wing8 - the Ghost General is so powerful because he’s SO FULL OF ANGER, and Wen Ning also has a strong drive for personal justice, as well as acting as a leader in during the war (he tells WWX that he has people who will help him smuggle the Jiang parent bodies out of Lotus Pier, and that would require a HUGE amount of loyalty, so presumably he’s a pretty good leader!) In comparison, the (slightly) more detached and objective Xichen I see as a 9wing1; the 1 attitude is where he bonds with Wangji, both having that very Lan attitude of “if you see a moral problem it is your duty to fix it”, and the times we actually see Xichen choose conflict are when he is standing up for justice, his morals, and people he perceives as wronged.

Hello! I have never participated in kinktober before but I have written something and was wondering how it works? I have actually never posted anything I've written before. Do I send it to you first to be approved? Do I wait and post it in October on the day? Do you reblog it once it's tagged? (Again sorry totally new to this) Thank you! Love your works!

Hello and thank you for reaching out, I'm always glad to be of help! :) Don't apologize for anything, I totally get why challenges like this one might be a bit of a headache to figure out as a novice, as there are quite a few unwritten rules surrounding them. I'll try to explain in simple terms but you're always welcome to ask additional questions in case something is still unclear! ❤

-----

-> Participating in most content creation challenges of this kind (at least on this side of tumblr, can't talk much beyond mobile otome tumblr) is actually quite subjective. For you to be considered participating in such challenge, it is often enough in your post to be mentioned something among the lines of, this work is part of x challenge.

-> Of course, this is mostly related to challenges where you're provided themes to create for, like prompt lists. I won't go into detail about what other kinds exist, but for instance, a fandom gift exchange event requires you to sign up via filling a special form regarding the details around creating a gift and receiving a gift. But to answer your question, and especially for my Visions of Temptation challenge: Do I send it to you first to be approved? - No, you don't have to do that! In order to participate, as a writer such as yourself, you simply write a fic, post it mentioning that it's written for said challenge, tag this blog, and voilà!

you might know this already, but also: by putting in the hashtags the fandom and characters of your work, you will make it easily findable for others browsing these hastags. Additionally, my challenge uses the special hashtag #visions of temptation 2022, so make sure to include that as well! :) That way we can all easily browse through the challenge creations!

Do I wait and post it in October on the day? - Preferably, yes. Following the list according to the dates is practically what makes this a challenge, so many of us will try to do that. But hey, there are no hard rules here. You won't get judged or disqualified or anything like that for not following the supposed posting dates. In fact, many entries are posted waaay later than the period of the challenge! I'm a good example, as I still have four fics to finish from last year's... 👉🏻👈🏻(and here i need to add, you don't have to be like me and try to complete all 31 days if it's more than what you can bear! Make sure not to overwhelm yourself <3 even just one work is enough too!) In the same way, creations posted earlier than the challenge dates are welcomed too! :)

Do you reblog it once it's tagged? - I do that, but not as a rule. I only do it out of my personal desire to support and appreciate participants, and I do it from my main blog @kissmetwicekissmedeadly , under #vot 22 reblogs (and usually, days and weeks after the works are posted... I'm often very busy :( ) . I leave a little comment on stuff that I like sometimes, but sometimes I'm too tired to say anything, and I can't promise that I'm gonna reblog everything too.

-----

I hope that helps! Once again, feel free to ask about whatever else you're unfamiliar with, especially considering that you haven't posted anything before. My DMs are open too, in case you feel more comfortable with that. I'd be glad to help you out in your fic-posting journey! <3 Thank you for enjoying my works, I'm thrilled to hear that and I hope that you can continue to do so in the future ❤ Have a nice day!
