good advice: i dont even know where to start i would not have let shit get that bad

how are you being so chill about this seriously what is wrong with you you need to take a long look in the reflection sheet and think about everything thats wrong with your life and how you let yourself become the troll you are today 

if i were you id have already beaten the shit out of my kismesis seriously why was your first reaction to calmly send an ask to your favorite grumblr blog and wait for them to give you some advice

im flattered i guess but what

i know you said your matesprites fine but that doesnt make that not insane thats your kismesis go yell at him tell him this is freak behavior and youre not putting up with it

i almost feel bad for the poor guy i mean arent you in a rivalry dont you hate him how is your first instinct not to go confront him he literally kidnapped your matesprite

bad advice: literally whatever you think of is probably way worse than anything i could possibly say diy it listen to your instincts

so today on the ‘Mel get’s her cartilage/helix pierced’ saga:

- Got the unanimous answer, yes take that one out and let it heal and THEN repierce it where you want it

- which is making that spot itchy

- went to a place that wanted to take it out for me cause they had a ““Sterile Environment” as if my ear is not a part of me and wont get all the bacteria I encounter in a day?!?!?!

- When I said it was easy to take out and had been falling out as I washed it as instructed by the other tattoo shop*, was still met with “WELL JUST LET US TAKE THAT OUT THO”

- went down to the piercer and got told that EVERYTHING THE OTHER SHOP DID WAS HORRIFICALLY WRONG AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED, THEY GAVE YOU EARRINGS THAT WILL EMBED THEMSELVES AAAAAA TAKE THEM ALL OUT AND START FROM SCRATCH WITH US!!!

- When I asked what kind of earring would be safe FOR SWELLING if it had a back got a 20 minute lecture on metal safety and how they know the metals they use are SAFE because it’s been used in MEDICAL IMPLANTS FOR YEARS (making me think of the john oliver ep two weeks ago ish about how medical implants are horribly regulated and aren’t safe!! SO JOKES ON YOU BITCH) NEVER ADRESSING THE SWELLING BS

- was told washing my ears with a mild antibacterial soap was a HORRIBLE IDEA, THAT’S AN OPEN WOOOUNNNDDD. YOU WOULDN’T WASH AN OPEN WOUND WITH SOAAPPP WOULD YOUUUUU. JOKES ON HIM I WASH CUTS AND SCRAPES WITH SOAP BEFORE I BANDAGE THEM FUCKER!!

- WAS TOLD IF IT’S NOT A MIRROR POLISH IT’S LIKE SANDPAPER ON YOUR EARS AND PATRONIZED EVEN AFTER HE WAS STRUGGLING TO EXPLAIN AND I OFFERED ON A MICROSCOPIC SCALE

- was told the normal gauge (20) was SO WROOONGGG for helix piercings cause it could SHIFT AND MESS UP THE ANGLEEEE and they do it with 14gauge WHICH SOUNDS TERRIFYINGLY LARGE SCREM

- was fucking told you shouldn’t be washing your piercings with anything but esp soap cause that was just chemicals. Ur body can heal on it’s own, CHEMICALS. NEVER. HEALED. ANYTHING. IN THE BODY. LEGIT THAT’S WHAT HE SAID TO MY FUCKING FACE. BUUUUULLLLSHIIIITTTT DUUUUUDDDEEEEEEEE

- that IF I KEPT the TERRIBLE piercings that are okay they may not heal for TWO YEAAARRSS CAUSE OF WHAT THEY DID TO MEEEE. but every body is different. But things have healed in GNARLY WAYS blahblahblah

- that if I do let the two I like heal and come back in for another one there’s no way they can guarantee they’ll match the angle and othershit (which is true but fuck I’ll deal with having lost 25 on a bad piercing, but 55 and all three piercings??)

but hey it was all free? OH wait lol it was 1.50 to park there for an hour

(Mom has been suggesting I go back to the other place to at least be like HEY U DIDN’T LISTEN AND PIERCED IT SOMEWHERE I DIDN’T LIKE MAKE IT RIGHT FOR ME, but idk if I can handle that sort of confrontation :C)

*I was only washing with soap cause my ear puffed up and was red and HOT and painful and the original tattoo shop suggested washing it with soap, which TO THEIR CREDIT, started working first night

hey uhhh YKNO WHATS GOOD brainstorming potential headcanons for a character you know NOTHING ABOUT

i guess its less headcanons and more like.. wishes? hopes? what i think would be cool to do with this dude and like ALL I KNOW is that he is a cool dude and apparantly he doesnt have a backstory or sympatheticness SO consider what if he did and maybe thatd be cooler. like dude he owns THE SINGLE BEST BOSS BATTLE THEME IN ALL VIDEOGAMES EVER and that is ALL I KNOW ABOUT HIM and i just want him to deserve it, yo. also if he turned good i could be his friend and some of the badassness would rub off on me

ANYWAY

COOL SQUID PRESIDENT

i would vote for this man as squesident

seriously the design is SO GOOD!!! how did they manage to get such a cool colourscheme out of his entire Thing being that he has no colours?? like damn i like white being used as an evil colour for once, thanks. it symbolizing emptyness and emotionlessness is like BIG YES and i really hope thats what they were going for cos apparantly the wiki says that all the yokai who join his “we should never be friends with humans” gang turn colourless to match? but like the dude himself is less plain white and more very light shades of blue, grey and gold. MAYBE REFLECTS THAT HE IS A MANIPULATIVE DOUCHE WHO MAYBE DOESNT REALLY CARE ABOUT YOKAI AND JUST WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD PERHAPS dammit why does everything about him scream “great 100% evil guy who is very scary” when man I WANT TO LIKE HIM, DAMMIT!!

ALSO SERIOUSLY the visual effect of the wild spirally red yellow eyes against an otherwise “peaceful” colour whose entire point as an evil is “peaceful” taken to a bad extreme. it REALLY immediately sells that “tries to pretend to be calm, collected and fancy but is actually an angry mofo at heart” vibe i got from his theme song??? I REALLY HOPE THATS ACTUALLY HOW THIS COOL BOSS BATTLE GOES DOWN cos man the best villains are smug asshles who Always Win and then when you FINALLY win you get that much of a better ending!!! but AGH another part of me is like “i hope im wrong because he looks like a Cool Dad and i want him to be good”. Maybe his true design concept was to betray me personality with using all his cool dad power for evil...?

ALSO im not gonna spoil you guys on it cos it is JUST AS AMAZING AS HIS SONG but i was toooootally right that he has some sort of super intimidating second form and its got THE COOLEST DESIGN EVER HOLY SHIT! and also apprantly there’s a recoloured bonus boss called Minister Squisker who’s like a colour swap in a really creative way?? it swaps him being all “blank” themed with scary bright eyes and instead his entire body is a wild ye olde mythological illustration style paint job in every colour ever. okay COOL HEADCANON NUMBER ONE thats actually the regular colour of the species and mckraken is the white sheep of the family lol

also UHHH i dunno it seems kinda weird to me that theyd have this dude running a goddamn political party about humans being bad yet he doesnt seem to have any motivation whatsoever for it? unless it really is just supposed to be ‘he only pretends he wants to protect yokai from humans so he can manipulate and rule the yokai’. but like HYPOTHETICALLY in some universe where he actually lives up to his Grumpy Dad Who Has A Hidden Soft Spot potential, maybe he has an understandable backstory that raises legitimate concerns about how humans are destroying the natural and mythological and forgetting their roots, or other reasonable reasons why yokai could think humans are dangerous and all. i mean we ARE dangerous, we’re just a wide group of people that contain evil bastards and also good people, yknow. And thatd resonate well as a plot probably, cos well the whole point of the series is “in real life ur scared of yokai but theyre actually all goofy pranksters who will be your best friend forever”. Both sides being afraid of each other could lead to some good plotness! and it could be really effective and sad if after hours of joyous childhood wonder the protagonist bumps into the first yokai they couldnt befriend. the first one thats scared of them. the first member of this weird colourless political party who accuses them of committing crimes against yokaikind, of obviously only enslaving these yokai friends cos you have an ulterior motive, just like all humans! it could be effective if its something that shakes up the whole way you saw the world and establishes that hey its not all fun and happiness, and there’s some people you are powerless to convince. maybe even some people you are powerless to save...?

ANYWAY possible idea for ‘what if the dude originally had a sympathetic motive but it got twisted over time and now he’s just a fuck BUT maybe he could still be redeeminated someday ok thanks” What if he’s the spirit of.. like.. ocean pollution? Like there’s some yokai who are ghosts of a mortal person but theres some that are just nature spirits or personifications of concepts. What if he’s the personification of the dying screams of all the wildlife killed in a particular tragic oil spill? hence squid = thematic, and blank white colourscheme = even more thematic reflecting the stain the oil would leave on a pristine ocean and also the blank emotionlessness he was left as after witnessing that tragedy. Cos like his entire Purpose would have been born out of avenging anger but i mean he was just a kid, the only one left alive on a ruined beach and seeing just how powerful humans were and how pointless it would be to try and fight them with his weak power. like he was born to avenge all these souls and he just keeps failing!! his entire reason to live and he’s just too small!! so he ends up becoming bitter and cynical and learning how to use his silver tongue to manipulate others into becoming his weapons, and he vows that someday he’s gonna come back when he has the power he needs to complete his mission. and he’s just forever had this anger seething inside that he’s been unable to get any catharsis from, so when his cold and collected persona cracks he’s really damn scary with all these years of a man who’s grown old fearing he’ll never be able to avenge his ocean friends and just AAAAAA! itd be really good cos itd be a way he could still be intimidating and high stakes as a boss fight but also sympathetic!! also it could make sense why he’d only be redeemable after defeating him? like this entire time he’s been hidden behind a million layers of politics and minions and stuff and its very easy for him to not see the reality of the fact that he’s terrorizing human children just like how humans scarred him as a child. so like his whole big second form transformation super anger mode time would be sort of a last ditch attempt to deny what he already knows, the doubts that have been eating away at his soul now he’s getting close to the end of his life goal. but also like.. he doesnt even know who he IS, under the lies! its been his entire purpose for existing. like he probably uhh.. didnt have much plans after his victory. he probably wouldnt have much will to live left. so yeah you basically beat up this guy’s emotional walls and make him face the face of the people he’s been hurting, when he’s been trying to avoid it for so long. and he gets to see how much all the other yokai genuinely trust you and how much youre personally sacrificing to protect them so maybe you really arent just lying about being a good person...

oh also i was thinking about the inherant hypocrisy present in the fact that this guy is a big spoopy REALLY WELL DESIGNED squid monster that spends all his time in a depowered humansona instead, despite his whole Thing being hating humans. and, yknow, ‘i’ll solve this using a carbon copy of human politics instead of any more traditionally magical way of fighting the humans’. Yeah. So THEORY of SADNESS maybe he like never actually met any other yokai for a long time? I dont think it really makes sense that he’d be hypocritical because he secretly likes humans or something, that wouldnt jive with this backstory idea. So im thinking another explanation could be that he genunely doesnt know much about yokai culture? Like cos of his backstory he just poofed into existance on this destroyed beach in the human world and spent the first few centuries of his life completely alone except for the terrifying monsters that haunted every second of his life, and the knowledge that it was his purpose to defeat them but he didnt know how. And he was a nature spirit of the sea but his sea was empty of everything except death, so he couldnt even hug a cute fish sidekick or something- OH GOD WHAT IF HE DID HAVE A CUTE FISH SIDEKICK AND IT DIED COS OF HUMANS!!! very tiny sad squid monster child holding a dead pet, oh god why did my heart did this to meeee!! so yeah he didnt even know he was a yokai or wtf yokai are, he didnt know anywhere outside the tiny rock pool he would hide in on this barren beach. And then someday he gets found by an older yokai and adopted and like he feels like he owes them so much cos they gave him a reason to live, and a connection to the nature that he was supposed to protect, and.. well.. any companionship at all ever. So thats how his directionless “humans are bad” turned into “yokai are good and i need to protect them from humans like i failed to protect the beach” which turned into “i need to get more power to do this” which turned into manipulating other yokai and seeing them as nothing more than tools to take down the humans, his revenge consuming him until he barely remembered the reasons he originally wanted to do it...

and blablabla thats where we bring in the recolour bonus boss also, and say thats the nice grandpa figure who adopted him when he was all lost and trapped in the human world. and cos he was sorta adopted into nobility thats why he’s so over the top with his pompousness, its like a hint of IM LOVV MY GRANDEPA shining through his grumpface. ALSO maybe a sad situation where the gramps saw his kid growing up into this scary extremist and he tried to reason with him that humans dont need to be destroyed and that led to them fighting and him getting sealed off in recolour bonus boss land. and mckraken sees it as the biggest betrayal of his life and it totally threw him off the slippery slope to feel like the one man he trusted the most was a traitor to yokai all along. but even at his most evil he couldnt bear to actually kill his beloved gramps so he just imprisoned him and tries to stop thinking about it but like THE CONSTANT SPECTRE OF THE GUILT HANGS OVER YOUR HEAD THAT YOU DID YOU GRAMPS WRONGGGG So yehmaybe protag could find the gramps guy and hear about the sad backstory via him and then defeat mckraken and make him realise he was wrong and he apologises to his gramps and atones and all the humans and yokai are friends again and BUNNI CRIES FOREVER the end

cos seriously man this guy’s design is too good to be wasted on a hateable!! srsly he’s like that archetypical goofy big beard chubby pirate dude BUT INTIMIDATING AND BADASS AND COOL FASHION AND DAVY JONES SQUID BEARD SQUEARD I LOVE HIM he is too round to be 100% evil

*slams fists on the table* IF YOU DONT LIVE UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS I AM GONNA CRY
